At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rule of the Han Dynasty was in jeopardy, and the land of the Central Plains rose side by side. After more than ten years of fighting, the three forces finally formed a situation of separation-? Northern Group headed by Cao Cao, Soochow Group headed by Sun Quan and Shuhan Group headed by Liu Bei. These three forces are intertwined, and wars are inevitable. One of the most famous is the Yiling War, in which Lu Xun, the commander-in-chief of Dongwu, burned down the camp for 70 miles and slaughtered Liu Bei's 700,000 troops. Next, let's talk in detail about which famous generals Liu Bei Group lost in the battle of Yiling.
The cause of the Yiling war
The cause of the Yiling War was that Sun Quan Group colluded with Cao Cao Group, launched a sneak attack on Jingzhou, which was still in the hands of Liu Bei at that time, and directly beheaded Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu in lin ju. After Liu Bei heard the news, he vowed to do his best to attack Soochow with the army of Shu, which was the cause of the Yiling War.
The result of the battle of Yiling
In the early stage of the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei Group was triumphant, and it was about to hit Jianye at that time. At this time, Sun Quan activated Lu Xun, who was less than 20 years old at that time, and Lu Xun confronted Liu Bei in Yiling with a great army. At this time, Lu Xun found that Liu Bei's camp was full of mountains, so he chose to attack with fire. As a result, the fire burned for seven hundred miles, and Liu Bei was defeated.
The generals lost by Liu Bei Group in this battle.
In this campaign, Liu Beifang lost six generals, namely Zhang Nan, Feng Xi, Ma Liang, Sha Moke, Fu Tong and Cheng Ji. Although these six have not appeared many times or even appeared in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they are all rare talents, among whom Ma Liang is a first-class counselor, and the others are also at the level of leading soldiers. It is said that when Liu Bei retreated, he was almost surrounded by the Dongwu army. It was his own army, Bai Zhi Army, who fought hard and repelled Wu Jun. Liu Bei was able to escape. If the fighting capacity of Bai Zhi Army was not too strong at that time, I am afraid that the generals who suffered losses at that time would have to have one more leader of Bai Zhi Army.
After the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei Group was badly weakened, and it took a long time to recover its national strength.
