Short video spoiler history: The beginning of modern warfare

Chapter 23 Battle of Yiling
Pang Tong was focused and stood in front of the map, thinking.

Hanzhong has a dangerous terrain and Cao Cao is a powerful figure. There is no way he would sit idly by and watch our army take Hanzhong easily, so the two armies must fight in Hanzhong.

The lord ascended the throne as the King of Hanzhong, which means that Hanzhong has been taken.

He was in good health and was not listed among the officials rewarded in Shu. He must have died in a battle when entering Shu and Hanzhong.

The lord ascended the throne eleven years later, and fought two wars, which cost the people a lot of money and labor, and left the country weak and exhausted.

With the strength of our army, it is probably beyond our ability to confront Cao's army head-on in Hanzhong. I guess we have to withdraw the Jingzhou defense army, which is also in line with General Guan's loss of Jingzhou to the Wu army.

During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an City.

Li Shimin watched with a smile. Although the way of expression was a bit strange, it was not much different from the history he knew.

Is this the way future generations will announce it to the world?

It's very mysterious.

[Uncle: I don’t dare to move, I don’t dare to move at all]

[The old man has never traveled far in his life, but his house is full of red banners]

[I saw a white car passing by the old man and fell into the water at the bend]

[The old man looked at it calmly, as if he was already used to it.]

[Then he and the villagers skillfully rescued people, and soon the people in the white car were rescued]

In the picture, the big brother, dressed in black and wearing a bracelet, is soaked all over, his clothes are sticking to him, and there is confusion in his eyes.

The place he was looking at was the place where the water fell, an S-shaped bend. He could see that the road was not wide and only one car could pass in both directions at the same time.

Late Han Dynasty, Yecheng.

"Hahahaha!"

Cao Cao looked at his elder brother who was soaked to the skin. Before he could say anything, Xu Chu burst into laughter. His laughter made everyone's ears ring.

A crowd of people were also infected, and some were gloating. This sedan was the means of transportation in later generations, similar to today's horse-drawn carriage, but it could move forward at high speed without horses, and it was another wonder of later generations.

I wonder what it feels like to sit in it? How is it different from a horse-drawn carriage?

During the Hongwu period, judging from the place where it was located, it should be a remote village. Unexpectedly, the road was specially paved and it was surprisingly clean.

What Zhu Biao mentioned was verified again, which also made Zhu Yuanzhang a little jealous.

It’s not that he wanted to build roads for the common people, but the wealth of later generations was too great, so there must be a good way to enrich the country.

[Then the next day, another red car passed by and fell into the water]

[The old man who was alone at home saw this and shouted]

[Then he picked up the stick and rushed out, rescuing the person skillfully]

[The old man worked at home for a year and managed to become a career writer]

"Strange Ways to Accumulate Virtue"

Uncle: Don't you dare die in front of my house

"The old man was sitting at home, and there was a plop! "Do you have a new order? Please process it in time.""

"If my uncle's son joins the army, he will get third-class merit every time he comes back from leave [狗头]"

"When you go on a long trip, you have to report to 120 in advance."

During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an.

Li Shimin and a group of important ministers discussed and wanted to gather skilled craftsmen from all over the world to try to replicate some tools of later generations, such as fans, cars, etc.

He had observed several times that later generations had made profound contributions to medicine, agriculture, etc., and all kinds of rare items were urgently needed by the people, which was much more convenient than the pure manual work of the Tang Dynasty.

All the ministers expressed their opinions and were very excited.

"I don't think it's possible," Wei Zheng poured a basin of cold water on this. In his opinion, the country had just been settled and the people were exhausted. It was unwise for a ruler to not think about governing the country and making the people rich, but instead pursue his own desires and waste the country's strength.

As the saying goes, what goes up must come down, and it is unknown what irreversible consequences will be caused by then.

Li Shimin was speechless. Seeing that his colleagues were about to start quarreling again, he just said that he would discuss it later and put the matter aside for the time being.

The sky screen changed again, and it was another video about the history of the Three Kingdoms.

Li Shimin was helpless. Later generations favored the Later Han Dynasty. Although Zhuge Liang was not bad, the Tang Dynasty was obviously more powerful!

[Liu Bei only lost about 5 troops in the Battle of Yiling. Why did Shu Han never recover from this defeat? #三国#历史#刘备]

[Liu Bei only lost about 5 troops in the Battle of Yiling. Why did Shu Han never recover from that defeat? ]

Late Han Dynasty, Nanjun.

Fifty thousand troops!

Liu Bei's face turned pale all of a sudden. No matter whether it was Xuzhou, Jizhou or Jingzhou, he had never fought such a prosperous battle in his life, and yet he was killed in one battle?
Everyone immediately understood that it was the battle between Shu and Wu, which was the battle that Liu Bei fought after he became emperor. Pang Tong immediately said, "The river before Yiling is narrow for hundreds of miles, with turbulent currents, making it difficult for boats to cross. The mountains on both sides are towering, making it difficult to travel. After this section of the road, the river surface is flat and smooth, so this place is a battleground for military strategists."

Everyone gathered around the map. Pang Tong glanced at Guan Yu and continued, "If the Wu army really takes Jingzhou, then this place will become a pass that blocks our army's eastward advance."

Guan Yu looked unhappy and said nothing.

The curtain continued, and everyone's faces became more and more ugly.

[These 50,000 are elite troops, the wealth accumulated by Liu Bei]

[What we lost are a large number of young and middle-aged generals who are capable, experienced and have development potential]

[The population of Shu Han was less than one million, and one twentieth of it was lost in one go, and they were all young and strong laborers]

[It can be directly understood as the whole country is in mourning]

[It can be said frankly that the loss of these 50,000 people has reached the point of destroying the country]

[So how ridiculous is the claim that Liu Bei ambushed the swordsmen when he entrusted his son to the care of others in Baidi City]

[Only Zhuge Liang was willing to take on this mess, and he actually did.]

[Later, Sima Yi defeated Shu and made him fear him like a tiger. How powerful is this?]

Fifty thousand elite troops were lost, and the orphan was entrusted to the care of others in Baidi City!

Before that, there were the Battle of Invasion of Shu and the Battle of Hanzhong, and then the Battle of Yiling, which resulted in the loss of 50,000 elite troops. One can imagine how empty Shu was.

Liu Bei's hands were shaking. He had been cautious all his life, but ended up like this.

"Lord!" Zhuge Liang's call brought Liu Bei out of his miserable mood.

"My lord, things are still undecided. Whether it's the loss of Jingzhou or the defeat of Yiling, they are things that have not happened yet. As long as we work hard, we can definitely change the outcome!"

Liu Bei seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly shouted: "Yes, yes, this is something that has not happened yet, we can definitely change this outcome!"

"Second brother, third brother, I will never let the Jiangdong scoundrels harm your life!"

"Brother, it's my fault that I'm incompetent and I'm sorry to cause you trouble!" Guan Yu was deeply moved. Only in front of Liu Bei would he lower his proud head.

Yecheng.

Cao Cao was somewhat unwilling to accept the fact. Liu Bei had been cautious throughout his life, which was why he was able to gain a foothold among the warlords. Let him know about the defeat in the Battle of Yiling, and he would never make such a big mistake again in his life.

Hanzhong, Yizhou!
No, we must not let Liu Bei take Yizhou!
Judging from what Tianmu said, with Zhuge Liang's talent, if he controlled the two states of Jing and Yi, especially the land of Yizhou, it is hard to say who will win in this world. It is true that Tianmu is the key to both his success and failure.

Keep this in mind and discuss it again after the sky goes out.

"You can understand that the company owes tens of billions of dollars in debt, and the mess was left to Zhuge Liang, and he had to help take care of his disappointing son. How could he arrange for an axeman? What would he do if he chopped Zhuge Liang to death and killed his stupid son?"

I was the axeman at the time, and what he said was true

"I am the sword of the axeman, and what he says is true"

"According to unofficial historical records, Liu Bei entrusted his son to an ambush of 500 swordsmen in Baidi City. As long as Zhuge Liang agreed to become emperor, the swordsmen would immediately rush out and kill Liu Chan, leaving Zhuge Liang with no worries [狗头]"

"Let's put it this way: the Battle of Yiling forced the Shu Han leadership to be replaced in 80% of its entirety."

"A General History of China, Three Kingdoms, Three Volumes, One of Which is called Zhuge Liang's Governance of Shu"

"These 50,000 were elite soldiers wearing armor. In modern times, you can understand that five heavily armored combined brigades were gone. You can also understand that in ancient times, Xiang Yu's Xiang Family Army lost 50,000 soldiers. Let's learn about the concept of ancient armor."

"The most important thing is the lack of talent. The fire in Yiling burned out the second generation of the military, and there was no one available in the late Shu Han Dynasty."

"Ma Liang is gone! [tears]"

"Liu Bei's problem is that his population is sparse and his resources are scarce. If he had taken Guanzhong, Sichuan and Hanzhong, his chances of winning would have been great. Unfortunately, there is no if."

As the sky rolled down, everyone was able to recover some of the truth from sporadic words. Overall, Shu Han was indeed in a critical moment of survival.

Pang Tong was secretly frightened. The situation was really precarious. It was imaginable how difficult it was for him to fight against the overall situation in Shu by himself. If Jiangdong and Cao Wei had taken action at that time, Shu would have been in danger.

No wonder Kong Ming is so respected by later generations!

Ma Liang was stunned. Did he also die in the Battle of Yiling?
Liu Bei looked at the sky and read every word, his heart broken.

Fifty thousand elite soldiers in armor, eighty percent of whom were young and middle-aged generals, would have been an incalculable loss for any dynasty.

Moreover, when encountering such a great disaster, there are fierce tigers lurking outside and chaos is bound to occur inside.

This achievement of rebuilding the Han Dynasty is thanks to the efforts of one person!
Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but pull Kong Ming to bow!

Zhuge Liang was shocked and hurriedly pulled his lord up.

During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an City.

Li Shimin looked at what was said on the sky curtain and felt deeply moved. Zhuge Wuhou's governance of Shu was indeed worthy of the love and admiration thousands of years later.

If you were in their shoes, could you do better?
　Happy New Year to everyone in advance.
