Chapter 478 Battle of Yiling
As Lin Ke continued her narration, the people in front of the screen fell silent.
Who would mobilize the entire nation's resources to attack another country just because of a feud between brothers?
Even if they lose this battle, it will deal a devastating blow to their national strength!
They believed that the vast majority of emperors understood that this was not the right thing to do!
……
The Three Kingdoms era at this time
Liu Bei fell silent, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the others also sighed deeply, not expecting that only their eldest brother was left.
Judging from the sighs of later generations when they talked about Shu Han, this battle was mostly a loss, and a very bad one at that.
It was very likely a mess, which is why Shu Han only lasted for a few decades.
At this moment, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, greatly shocked, looked at Liu Bei sitting above them, then exchanged a glance and sighed deeply.
They have aged considerably, and not only them, but the other generals of Shu Han are also getting old!
At that time, did the severely damaged Shu Han still have any generals capable of fighting?!
……
In another timeline, Liu Che and others, upon hearing of the fall of the Han Dynasty, sighed deeply!
It seems that it's not unacceptable. Over four hundred years, who can match the grandeur and longevity of the Han Dynasty?
Lin Ke continued: "Before the war between Sun Quan and Liu Bei, Liu Bei's camp lost Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Fa Zheng, who were known as warriors capable of defeating ten thousand men."
"So in 221 AD, Liu Bei personally led his troops to attack Eastern Wu, launching the famous Battle of Yiling."
"During this time, Sun Quan also realized he was afraid. His actions not only harmed Guan Yu but also Liu Bei, causing Shu Han to never recover after this battle."
"If Cao Wei had seized the opportunity and launched a surprise attack while Sun Quan and Liu Bei were at war, they might have been unified directly."
"Therefore, Sun Quan's attempt to make peace was useless, and Liu Bei did not accept it. Subsequently, Sun Quan sent Lu Xun, Li Yi and others to garrison Wu County."
"At this time, Sun Quan submitted to Cao Wei. Even though many people advised against it and suggested taking Eastern Wu first and then destroying Shu Han, Cao Pi, who valued his reputation, enfeoffed him as the King of Wu."
Sun Quan: Haha, I got the King of Wu for free!
Cao Pi: It's not easy for someone to submit to us. If we get rid of him, how will we get others to come and join us?
"I wonder if Boss Cao will still be able to say 'A son should be like Sun Quan' after learning about his eldest son's actions!"
Cao Cao: Damn it, there are only two of them, and they want to submit? What a load of rubbish! Do you think that big-eared thief would submit to us?
"After that, the Shu army initially had a good start, capturing Yiling and fighting a decisive battle with the Wu army there."
"In the struggle between Lu Xun and Liu Bei, the Wu army eventually burned down the enemy camps, and countless generals of Shu Han died in battle. Liu Bei also retreated to Baidi City, which greatly weakened Shu Han."
"Huang Quan led his troops north and surrendered to Cao Pi of Cao Wei. Almost all the other generals and talents were wiped out, which had a very bad consequence for the later Shu Han."
"It can be said that Shu Han's elite forces were almost exhausted, and the talent pool withered like a cliff. Later, there was a saying: 'In Shu, there are no great generals, so Liao Hua is the vanguard.'"
"Zhuge Liang was able to take over the mess that was Shu Han and manage it well for decades, which is enough to prove how capable he was."
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: In the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei's side suffered a crushing defeat, and later, when he launched his Northern Expeditions, they lacked capable personnel!
Yuan Shao of the Eastern Han Dynasty: It seems that Cao Wei has taken over the world!
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: At this moment, I'm thinking of tagging Zhu Qizhen, the initiator of the Tumu Crisis. This is practically equivalent to sending 100,000 people to their deaths!
Judy, the Great General Who Conquers the North: Don't mention that bastard to us!!!
First Emperor: It's not terrible to suffer defeats; what's terrible is that the talent pool of Shu Han has been interrupted.
Liu Zhuzhu of the Great Han Dynasty: Heaven does not bless the Han! Liu Bei is also struggling to continue, exhausted and nearing his end.
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: The most important thing is that the old generals died in battle and no one was able to train a new team. However, it was surprising that Cao Wei did not interfere while they were fighting!
