Chapter 240 Lu Xun, Burning the Camp for Seven Hundred Miles... (Subscribe)
"After Lu Su died, Lu Meng took over Lu Su's position. It's just that unlike Lu Su, Lu Meng was very hostile to Liu Bei's side. However, because of the alliance between Sun and Liu, the two families have not been destroyed for the time being. So Lu Meng took over Lu Su. After taking the position, he maintained a good relationship with Guan Yu who was guarding Jingzhou on the surface, but he always wanted to take Jingzhou back. However, Guan Yu was guarding Jingzhou with thousands of enemies, and Lu Meng had no chance even if he wanted to take it back. At that time, Lü Meng was no longer Amon under Wu, and Liu Bei's army at this time just took advantage of the terrain of Jingzhou to carry out the Northern Expedition. But because of the existence of Soochow, Guan Yu never dared to send large troops to the north."

"But at this time, Lu Meng came up with a plan. He offered advice to Sun Quan, pretended to be sick, and then returned to his hometown to recuperate. Sun Quan issued an edict to let a not-so-famous Lu Xun take over Lu Meng's position. And Guan Yu was overjoyed when he heard the news from Soochow, and sent a large army to Xiangyang to fight Cao Cao head-on."

"This battle can be said to be the greatest victory of Liu Bei's forces. In this battle, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, captured General Cao Cao alive, and beheaded Pang De. Even, because of Guan Yu's bravery, Cao Cao was afraid that Guan Yu would attack him. When we arrived in Xuchang, we considered moving the capital. However, Cao Cao’s counselors said that Guan Yu’s strength would definitely make Soochow restless, and we should join forces with Soochow.”

"Sure enough. When Guan Yu fought against Cao Cao in Xiangyang, Soochow sent troops to attack Jingzhou. However, in order not to attract attention, Lu Meng made all the troops disguised as merchants and farmers, dressed in white...etc. , and then invited the common people to help them paddle. This is the famous Soochow crossing the river in white clothes. Because Guan Yu's large army was in Xiangyang, Guan Yu didn't even know what was going on. When the Soochow troops came up, the Soochow troops quickly They quickly took control of Jingzhou and made Mi Fang, who was guarding the city, surrender."

"However, despite this, Guan Yu still has a lot of troops in the north. After hearing the news of Jingzhou's fall, Guan Yu sent envoys to Jingzhou. But Lu Meng treated these envoys with affection and let them go to the city Let them go back to visit their father. The envoys saw that although Lu Meng attacked Jingzhou, he treated the relatives of the soldiers very well. Therefore, all the soldiers who rushed home to avenge were not as strong as before. A sense of revenge."

"In the end, when Guan Yu returned to Jingzhou with his troops, he was defeated by Lu Meng. Guan Yu retreated to Maicheng with a small number of troops. But Maicheng is not big, and the most important thing is that there are only more than 300 soldiers and horses following Guan Yu. Facing Soochow's tens of thousands of troops, Guan Yu led his troops away. But Lu Meng had expected that Guan Yu would run away, and even thought that Guan Yu would not take the big road because he had few people, but would definitely take the small road. So he sent troops on the small road They intercepted Guan Yu, but Guan Yu was arrested by Lu Meng. Sun Quan persuaded Guan Yu to surrender, but Guan Yu would rather die than submit. On Lu Meng's suggestion, he killed Guan Yu..."

This is how Guan Yu lost Jingzhou.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou was defined as Guan Yu's carelessness.

In other words.

If Guan Yu had been more careful, he would not have lost Jingzhou.

But actually.

No matter how careful Guan Yu is, losing Jingzhou is inevitable.

then.

Chen Fan also explained: "The reason why Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Cao Cao can reach a balance is that the strength of the three is similar. In other words, compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan can resist Cao Cao together. However, when Guan Yu was flooded After the Seventh Army defeated Cao Cao and Liu Bei's power reached its peak, at this time, the alliance between Soochow and Liu Bei is not particularly important."

"why?"

Some fans still didn't understand and asked.

"Do you still remember what Zhuge Liang wrote to Liu Bei when he came out of the mountain? In fact, Liu Bei's expansion of power basically revolved around Longzhong. In Longzhong, Kong Ming suggested that Jingzhou be taken first, and then Yizhou. Yizhou. The prefecture can protect Liu Bei's survival and achieve three points in the world. Jingzhou can allow Liu Bei to have the possibility of unifying the world. But before Liu Bei was only in charge of a part of Jingzhou, but after Xiangyang defeated Cao Cao, Liu Bei basically occupied most of Jingzhou And with Guan Yu's power, even Cao Cao felt scared. Soochow felt threatened instantly. If Guan Yu rested in Jingzhou for a few years, and then went south to attack Soochow, then Soochow would lose its living space .”

"So in the end, Soochow no longer considered joining forces with Sun Quan, but indirectly joined forces with Cao Cao to attack Jingzhou."

This said, everyone understood at once.

Three points of the world.

The so-called three points, everyone's strength is constantly changing.

When one side is too powerful, the other two will inevitably join hands.

At that time, Cao Cao was too powerful, so Liu Bei joined forces with Sun Quan.

Now Liu Bei is also very powerful.

Of course, Liu Bei's overall strength is still not as good as Cao Cao's, but judging from Liu Bei's current trend, he is a huge threat to Soochow and Cao Cao.

So at this time Sun Quan will unite with Cao Cao, which also contributed to Guan Yu's failure.

At the same time, the loss of Jingzhou also made it impossible for Liu Bei to dominate the world.

……

talking.

Chen Fan also sighed.

Sighing, it's not that Chen Fan is on Liu Bei's side.

The reason for sighing is also lamenting the fate of the Three Kingdoms.

Although many of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms are fictional, generally speaking, the whole direction is still the same.

Therefore, if the Romance of the Three Kingdoms puts aside the details, it can also be treated as history.

Just like how Guan Yu failed, he doesn't really matter, the result is that Guan Yu lost Jingzhou in the end.

"My Guan Yu."

"Guan Gong, Guan Gong."

"such a pity……"

All the fans sighed incomparably at this time.

But they know it.

This is history.

No matter how brave Guan Yu is, when the world is in great power, no matter how brave he is, he may die.

"What then?"

A fan asked again.

"Later when Liu Bei learned that Sun Quan had killed Guan Yu, he was so angry that he sent a large army from Shu to attack Wu. Because Liu Bei had occupied Shu for many years, and the land of abundance had plenty of food, this also greatly increased Liu Bei's strength. Soochow is where The south of the country was not yet developed at that time, and both population and land were extremely scarce. Faced with Liu Bei's massive attack, Sun Quan sent envoys to ask Liu Bei for peace, but Liu Bei did not agree."

"Of course, in fact, Zhuge Liang seriously opposed this battle, but Zhuge Liang's opposition did not have much effect. Liu Bei insisted on going his own way. On the one hand, he wanted to avenge Guan Yu, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate Soochow. After Liu Bei objected to the reconciliation At this time, Lu Meng died very suddenly, so Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the governor."

At this time.

The fan asked again: "Brother Fan, why did Lu Meng die suddenly?"

"Well, it sounds like a myth. One day after Lu Meng killed Guan Yu, Sun Quan hosted a banquet for his officials to celebrate. Lu Meng was about to drink, when he suddenly threw his cup on the ground, grabbed Sun Quan with one hand, and yelled loudly: " Blue-eyed boy!Purple bearded rats!Do you still know me? "The generals were shocked, and when they were in emergency, Meng pushed Sun Quan down, strode forward, sat on Sun Quan's seat, raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes wide, and shouted: "I have been in the world for more than thirty years since I broke the yellow scarf. Now if you try to trick me with treachery, I will not be able to eat your flesh in my life, but I will pursue the soul of Lu thief in death!I am Guan Yunchang, Marquis of Han Shouting. "Quan was shocked, and hurriedly led all the soldiers, big and small, to bow down. Lu Meng fell to the ground, bleeding to death from his seven orifices."

As soon as the story came out, everyone cried out in shock.

"This is Guan Yu manifesting his holiness."

"Ahhh... Guan Yu is mighty."

Everyone was excited.

Countless fans in the live broadcast room also screamed.

of course.

Guan Yu appeared more than once in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

In the whole book, there are a total of seven apparitions.

The most famous one is Chasing Soul to Lu Meng.

thereafter.

When Sun Quan offered Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao, Guan Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and Cao Cao was so frightened that he fainted to the ground.

Later, Guan Yu gave Liu Bei a dream to avenge him...and so on.

just.

Although Guan Yu Xiansheng is indeed very legendary, Guan Yu is still dead after all.

of course.

In real history, how did Lu Meng die? He actually died of illness.

There is another argument.

That is the interpretation of the TV series of the New Three Kingdoms in the previous life.

Sun Quan thought that Lu Meng had killed Guan Yu, fearing that Liu Bei would retaliate, so he poisoned Lu Meng to death.

But this is even more untenable.

On the one hand, Lu Meng was the governor under Sun Quan, and Lu Meng was so loyal to Sun Quan, it is no wonder that Sun Quan would kill Lu Meng.

Not to mention Lu Meng, it is impossible for Sun Quan to kill Zhou Yu.

If he killed his own governor, who would lead him to fight? Could it be that Sun Quan sent his head to himself?
one left.

That is to kill Guan Yu without Sun Quan's consent, how could Lu Meng kill Guan Yu?

and so.

To be precise, whether it was Zhou Yu or Lu Meng, they both died of illness and had little relationship with other people.

Then, Chen Fan said again: "Before that, Lu Xun had been a civil servant and didn't have much seniority in the army. After Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun, many of Sun Quan's subordinates also opposed it. At the same time, Liu Bei also despised Lu Xun. It’s just that Jiangdong talents are not idlers. Lu Xun took advantage of Liu Bei’s contempt, and then he did not launch a frontal attack with Liu Bei, and even retreated two or three hundred miles. Because Dongwu is not a plain area, many of them are hilly and mountainous. .So after Liu Bei entered the land of Wu, he camped in the mountains most of the time."

"At this time, it happened to be July and August, and the weather was extremely hot. Liu Bei's camp was composed of wooden fences and other inflammable materials. So he ordered a group of soldiers to bring thatch and kindling to lie in ambush among the mountains. Until the middle of the night, Lu Xun ordered a group of soldiers to set the thatch on fire. Because Liu Bei’s camps were connected to each other, one camp was burned, and another camp was burned quickly. Forty camps of Liu Bei were burned, and the entire fire stretched for 40 miles..."

"This big fire instantly destroyed all the momentum of the Shu army. All the soldiers could walk, escape, and kill...even Liu Bei fled all the way to Baidi City on Shuangqing's side. In the end, Liu Bei Also died in Baidi City..."

This battle is called the Battle of Yiling.

He and the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi... collectively known as the three major battles of the Three Kingdoms period.

The Battle of Guandu made Cao Cao quickly become the dominant force in the north.

The Battle of Chibi made Cao Cao lose the possibility of unifying the world.

In the Battle of Yiling, although Shu was defeated on the surface, Soochow also suffered a lot of losses.

As one goes up and the other goes up, the power of Wei Guo develops rapidly again.

just.

The following stories are no longer in Wu Province.

But in Shu.
