In the battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei defeated the powerful Cao Cao. Why was the battle of Yiling defeated?

There are many factors that determine the outcome of a war, which cannot be achieved by a single "momentum"! When it comes to the Yiling War between Shu Han and Wu Dong, many people will focus on Liu Bei's all-out "national" power before the war, angrily attacking Wu Dong, stepping over Wu Dong, and destroying Wu Dong in one fell swoop, as if the balance of the war had been tilted towards Shu Han from the time of preparing for the attack, and it should be Shu Han who won the war.

In fact, they only know one and don't know the other, ignoring many more important things. They forget that many times, winning a war (battle) is not just a kind of "momentum".

Today, let's brush away the dust of history and take a look at the Yiling War that almost pushed Shu Han away from the preset correct road and accelerated the decline of Shu Han!

First, the battle of Yiling was an irrational war in which Liu Bei "gave up" the righteousness for the sake of small righteousness. The Dongwu white army attacked the river, captured Jingzhou and killed Guan Yu and his son, which led to Liu Bei's anger and hatred towards Dongwu. And Zhang's order of 65,438+10,000 white clothes in three days to kill Zhang Fei for Soochow is like adding fuel to the fire, pushing Liu Bei, who has always been righteous, to the corner of war, and making Liu Bei, who is afraid of jokes from all over the world, completely lose his mind. In this case, it is foreseeable and sooner or later to abandon even the meaning of "country" in order to "hate my brother" and launch a war of attacking Wu.

Second, the battle of Yiling was a war that Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and other civil and military ministers tried to dissuade and oppose. Before Liu Bei launched the war of attacking Wu, Zhuge Liang remonstrated many times and led a group of ministers to the teaching ground to remonstrate, but Liu Bei refused to listen. As Zhao Yun said in his remonstrance, the traitor is Cao Cao, not Sun Quan. Today, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, and the man of God was angry. Your Majesty could have stationed troops in the upper reaches of the Weihe River in Guanzhong to drive away thieves. ...

It can be seen that the civil and military ministers of the Shu and Han dynasties did not agree with Liu Bei's war against Dongwu. But Liu Bei didn't listen and decided to attack Dongwu. In this case, people's hearts are divided and morale fluctuates. It is not so much aggressive as attacking Dongwu with a mass of anger from Liu Bei. It is also "God" who intends to help him take his chances!
