Starting from the end of the Battle of Nanjun, cracks arose within the Sun and Liu alliance due to the division problem of Jingzhou. In a sense, this is also a great success for Cao Cao to take the initiative to abandon Jiangling strategy. The cleft of
has been out of control since the day it happened. What’s worse is that in the Eastern Wu, the Liu faction who did not hesitate to destroy the alliance for the sake of its own interests accounted for a considerable proportion. Starting from Zhou Yu, to important officials such as Lu Fan, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Lu Xun, , were all representatives of this faction. The pro-Liu faction who advocated sticking to the alliance were almost the only one who only Lu Su .
Fortunately, Sun Quan himself is quite hesitant about this matter, or it can be said that he is willing to listen to other people's opinions on this matter, so Lu Su can barely maintain fragile peace in a few years with his own strength.
Lu Su worked hard for this matter. At that time, there were many people in the Eastern Wu who had certain hostility towards the Liu Bei group. For example, Lu Meng believed that although the two sides were still forming an alliance, Guan Yu must be guarded and formulated five strategies to prepare for the future. Guan Yu also had many suspicions about Lu Su.
Lu Su tried his best to comfort radicals such as Lu Meng, but he did not even report his plan to Sun Quan. He also comforted Guan Yu with kind words to eliminate his suspicion. He was really worried.
His efforts were effective, and the Sun-Liu alliance also grew stronger at this stage. Sun Quan forced Cao Cao to retreat in Ruxukou and destroyed Lujiang County, which Cao Cao had worked hard to manage for several years, while Liu Bei captured Bashu in one fell swoop. The goal of ", the extreme of the Yangtze River, " proposed by Lu Su was achieved through the alliance.
However, the good times did not last long, and this situation could not be maintained, just because of Liu Bei's words.
After Zhou Yu passed away, the plan to capture Bashu was also aborted. In addition, Cao Cao put too much pressure on the eastern front, so Sun Quan had no choice but to use the sentence " cunning enemy dared to cheat " to vent his anger.
However, this is not completely unacceptable, because according to the later description, both parties should have had a relevant agreement to return Jingzhou after obtaining Yizhou.
However, after Liu Bei really took Yizhou, he refused to admit it. Instead, he took Liangzhou and returned it to Jingzhou to make excuses. Such a rogue attitude finally angered Sun Quan.
He knew that Liu Bei was just delaying time and was not treating each other with sincerity at all, so he appointed the prefect of the three counties of Jingnan, but was driven away by Guan Yu.
Sun Quan was more rational and restrained. When Zhou Yu and Lu Fan advised him to detain Liu Bei, he did not agree. However, after the hope of peacefully obtaining Jingzhou was shattered, he could no longer tolerate it, so he decided to use force to deter Liu Bei.
The current situation is beyond Lu Su's control. It is his opinion to borrow Jingzhou, but now he has reached this point. He cannot explain to Sun Quan, so he can only be ordered to send troops.
However, despite this, Sun Quan was not ready to completely give up the alliance. He knew that Liu Bei's core interest in Jingzhou was Jiangling. If he had to take back Jiangling, the alliance would be completely broken regardless of whether it could be done. The subsequent outbreak of Yiling Battle also proved this, so he only advocated the acquisition of the three counties in Jingnan, namely Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling.
In this context, Lu Meng, the representative of the Liu faction, naturally occupied a leading role in this operation. Sun Quan sent him to supervise Xian Yudan, Xu Zhong, Sun Gui and others to lead 20,000 troops to capture Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang counties, while Lu Su led 10,000 troops to station troops in Baqiu to resist Guan Yu. He himself stationed in Lukou to take charge of the rear command.
This operation was very sudden. As soon as the army of the Eastern Wu arrived, the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang surrendered immediately. Only Lingling prefect Hao Pu was still insisting on resisting.
After Liu Bei heard of a major change in Jingzhou, he reacted very quickly. He personally led a 50,000 army to the public security and ordered Guan Yu to lead 30,000 troops to Yiyang with the purpose of deterring and intercepting the contact between Lu Meng's troops who were fighting in Lingling and Lu Su's troops stationed in the north of Changsha County.
It can be seen from this that although Liu Bei was tough at that time, he was just for Sun Quan to see. He was also unwilling to destroy the alliance, otherwise Guan Yu would directly attack Lu Su with his superior forces.
After Liu Bei invested 50,000 new forces, his strength in Jingzhou had already gained a clear advantage. Sun Quan's side had only more than 30,000 people. He continued to mobilize troops from the rear to quench his near thirst. So he had to order Lu Meng to ignore Lingling for the first time and go north to meet with Lu Su.
However, Sun Quan still thought too much, because Lu Meng solved Lingling's problem by himself in a short period of time, and this was also the first time that Lu Meng had demonstrated his strengths in attacking the heart tactics.
Hao Pu was unwilling to surrender. The only reason was that he had expectations for reinforcements, and Lu Meng would use this to completely defeat his confidence.
Lu Meng found a man named Deng Xuanzhi. He took Deng Xuanzhi on a car on the way from Changsha south to Lingling, which was very polite. It can be seen that he was preparing for this moment.
Deng Xuanzhi is Hao Pu's old friend. Lu Meng asked him to bring a message to Hao Pu, the general idea was: You insist on not surrendering, probably waiting for reinforcements, but now Liu Bei is trapped in Hanzhong and cannot extricate himself. Guan Yu has also been defeated by us, and there will be no reinforcements.
Lu Meng's strategy is to take advantage of the information gap. Hao Pu was surrounded in the city and knew nothing about the outside world. Deng Xuanzhi was also controlled by him, so naturally he had limited knowledge. This is why Hao Pu did not believe it.
After this threat, Hao Pu quickly gave up on resistance. When he learned that he had been fooled, he was immediately ashamed, but it was too late. And what he could not have imagined was that he would be captured by Lu Meng again in the future.
Lingling’s war is just a small episode and has no impact on the overall situation. After Lu Meng's 20,000 troops were liberated, they soon joined Lusu in Changsha, and 30,000 troops marched into Yiyang, confronting Guan Yu.
Lu Su has a clear understanding of the current situation. The situation has developed to this point because no one is willing to give in, which has led to difficulties in riding. In fact, neither of the two families are ready to give up the alliance and maintain a certain degree of restraint in specific actions. Although they are tense, they have not fought on a large scale. Therefore, there is room for ease of ease.
The reason why Lu Su has tried his best to maintain the alliance over the years is because his vision is longer-term. Although many things are simple, the authorities are confused. People in it often cannot see some seemingly simple things.
The fact is that as long as Cao Cao is still strong for a day, the Sun-Liu alliance cannot be abandoned, otherwise the strength of the alliance will be inferior to Cao Cao. If it is weakened by internal strife, it will eventually be defeated by each one.
Lusu's 日本文 is clever. Only by fully 日本文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文� This is difficult to achieve due to the current situation, so we can only settle for the second best to achieve our goal through the alliance. Unfortunately, this point does not receive universal support within the Eastern Wu.
Ironically, this principle has almost reached a consensus within Cao Cao's camp.
First of all, Cheng Yu stated before the Battle of Chibi that Liu Bei was not simple, and Sun Quan would inevitably sponsor him to fight against the court, which would be difficult to deal with. After
, Liu Ye also proposed that Wu and Shu each have mountains and rivers as dangerous obstacles and support each other. This is the inevitable way for small countries to survive.
Sun Quan and Liu Bei should be very clear about this, but they were blinded by short-term interests and finally embarked on the path of "breakup" that makes the relatives feel sad and the enemy happy.
The only one who can save the crisis at present is Lu Su. As an intermediary, he tried his best to coordinate both internally and externally, which played a crucial role in the survival of the alliance. This time he will make another effort.
Just like that, Lu Su planned to meet with Guan Yu at the time of the confrontation between the two armies, hoping to peacefully resolve the Jingzhou crisis.
At that time, the generals in the army believed that the two armies were in a state of war, and Lu Su, as the main general, could not be in danger. However, Lu Su believes that this matter must be discussed openly and honestly. Although Liu Bei let us down, this matter has not yet been concluded and Guan Yu will not be like this.
If you want to solve the problem, you don’t have to rely on force. Diplomacy means backed by force are also OK. In order to gain Guan Yu's trust, Lu Su took the initiative to visit Guan Yu, and suggested that the soldiers and horses of both sides wait a hundred steps away, bringing only a small number of followers to the meeting, fully demonstrating their sincerity. After the talks began, Lu Su said straight to the point: "We sincerely lend you the land because you were defeated and have no place to stand. Now you have obtained Yizhou. Since you cannot return the entire Jingzhou, you can only return the three counties and you still don't agree."
From a factual perspective, Lu Su's claim is not a problem, and Guan Yu's side is difficult to refute. At this time, someone was clever and changed his mind. He interrupted and said, "The land is occupied by those with virtue. How can one place occupy it for a long time?"
Lu Su immediately scolded him loudly. Our elder brother talks, how can you interrupt?
Guan Yu also knew something was wrong, so he had to smooth things over and say, "What do he know about national affairs?" So he winked and told him to retreat.
In fact, it is hard to say whether this unknown little character is self-deciding to make a big fuss on this occasion. Perhaps Guan Yu wanted to express his attitude through him and give Lu Su a warning. But this trick doesn't work.
So Guan Yu changed his perspective and said, " The Battle of Red Cliff , we also made great efforts, how can we get nothing? It doesn't make sense for you to seek Jingzhou."
What Guan Yu said is indeed the fact. Liu Bei deserves a spoil, but the problem is that he still failed to refute the fact that he borrowed Jingzhou. After Liu Bei got his own spoil and got another benefit from Dongwu.
Responding to this point, Lu Su refuted: "I have seen the miserable situation of the defeat of the left general Dangyang. At that time, he had already planned to escape to Jiaozhou. We used land funding to give you a place to settle down. But you are selfish, and Jingzhou and Yizhou must occupy it, and for this reason they will not hesitate to damage the alliance. Even ordinary people are embarrassed to do such things, let alone a leader?"
Lu Su made the arguments reasonable and Guan Yu was speechless anymore. At this time, Cao Cao had already begun to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, which made Liu Bei's situation increasingly unoptimistic. He must end the dispute as soon as possible.
However, Sun Quan did not take any action, but instead made some concessions. He gave up Lingling County, which he had already obtained, and returned it to Liu Bei with the prefect Hao Pu.
The two sides divided the final sphere of influence in Jingzhou. Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang to the east of the Xiang River belong to Sun Quan, and Nanjun to the west, Wuling , and lingling belong to Liu Bei. Lu Su made an indelible contribution to the successful resolution of a crisis.
Reasonablely, most of the armistice agreements are divided according to the current front line. Even though Dongwu has gained an advantage, he can still give up some of his interests. This is really rare. I think this must be the credit for Lu Su's mediation.
In fact, Lu Su also wanted to take Jingzhou. Among the strategy he proposed to set foot on, Jingzhou was an important part. How could he give up easily? But he just looks at it longer.
Lu Su always planned for Sun Quan the cause of the emperor, and the main premise was to eliminate Cao Cao. Compared with this ambitious goal, the immediate interests are nothing.
However, although Cao Cao has a huge threat, Liu Bei is located in the upper reaches of the Eastern Wu, and the threat is not small. Why didn’t Lu Su take Liu Bei’s threat to heart?
In fact, this is because Lu Su knows very well that Liu Bei and Cao Cao are incompatible. It is impossible for him to be enemies with both families at the same time, and that is to destroy himself. Later, when Liu Bei fought in the Eastern Expedition, he did not contact Cao Pi and sent troops together. Instead, he asked Huang Quan to subdue Cao Pi, which proved Lu Su's foresight.
Xiangshui demarcation was a resurrection of the Sun-Liu alliance when it was on the verge of rupture, and this was almost achieved by Lu Su with his own efforts.
Although Sun Quan and Liu Bei did not have the determination to break up completely, as the situation deteriorates, there are always times when they get out of control.
Just imagine, if Sun Quan learned that Cao Cao threatened Hanzhong and Liu Bei had to return to defense, would he continue to put pressure on the entire Jingnan four counties and even Nanjun? Although it is very likely to be done in
, the alliance will definitely break down and there is no possibility of saving it. Lu Su's rationality is really commendable when he can remain calm under the huge temptation.
Sun Liu Alliance was able to be preserved, and Lu Su made great contributions. As for Zhuge Liang , although judging from his future style of conduct, his strategic vision is no less than Lu Su, unfortunately, at that time, he did not have the same say in this matter as Lu Su.
However, this alliance that is entirely tied to one person is extremely fragile. Once Lu Su is gone one day, who can restrain Lu Meng and Lu Xun and others?
But that's what happened in the future. At least in the short term, the two sides will temporarily restore peace.
Seeing that the situation in Jingzhou had stabilized, Sun Quan also turned his attention to the eastern front again. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Cao Cao's battle in Hanzhong, he wanted to launch a larger-scale attack on Hefei.
last time was claimed, and this time it was a real army of 100,000.
