    In fact, the battle of Yiling is not very important, and the loss of Jingzhou is doomed to the abolition of Shu. Leaving those 50,000 elites, Shu is not necessarily strong. Moreover, Liu Bei's defeat of Wu is bound to be defeated.

    Because the battle of Yiling was more tragic, and it was also a turning point in the decline of Shu Han.

    Although the scale of the Battle of Yiling did not exceed 100,000 people, but this battle was quite important, because Guan Yu launched the Battle of Fancheng, so frightened that Cao Cao almost moved the capital and lost Jingzhou, plus the defeat of the Battle of Yiling, so that Liu Bei lost the ability to attack.

    Because the influence of the Battle of Yiling was particularly large in the Three Kingdoms, the battle directly lost 50,000 elite troops of Shu Han, and caused Shu Han to start a downhill road.

    <> "The Battle of Yiling, one of the three major battles of the Three Kingdoms, how many troops were on both sides.

    The battle of Yiling in history, which lasted from 7 Yuan in 221 A.D. to August 222 A.D., ended with the defeat of Shu Han by Eastern Wu, which was a large-scale battle launched by Liu Bei against Sun Quan of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, and was also a famous successful example in ancient Chinese history of resolving the enemy's innate advantages through active defense, and finally won the battle, and it was the last of the three major battles that affected the historical process of the Three Kingdoms period.

    The motive for this battle is that Liu Bei killed Guan Yu in revenge for Eastern Wu, in 219 AD, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu attacked Jingzhou, Guan Yu was killed by Lu Meng, and Jingzhou was transferred to the territory of Eastern Wu. This motive for attacking Eastern Wu is also quite controversial in history, and some people believe that it was just Liu Bei's desire to recapture Jingzhou, which was important to Shu Han, by avenging Guan Yu.

    The two sides of the battle invested about the same number of troops, the Shu Han army of 50,000, led by Liu Bei, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu assigned the rookie general Lu Xun to lead the army of 50,000 to meet the attack, before the war began, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu sent people to sue for peace, under the eyes of the common enemy Cao Wei, the two sides fought like a snipe and a clam fighting, and the fisherman benefited, but Liu Bei was determined to fight, and Sun Quan had to actively prepare for the enemy.

    In the early stage of the war, the Shu army led by Liu Bei was pressing step by step, and had been stationed on the west bank of the Yangtze River, the army was excited, and the momentum was flourishing, and the Eastern Wu He cracked the side, Lu Xun observed the Shu Han army, and believed that it was not suitable to meet the battle directly at this time, but should first frustrate the spirit of the key beat clan, and wait for the opportunity to start a war between the two armies, which is Lu Xun's accurate judgment, and as expected, the army was discouraged, and when the war preparation was lax, the fire burned the company camp for 400 miles, and the Shu army was defeated.

    And Lu Xun has been famous all over the world after this battle and has been passed down for centuries. Shu Han was seriously injured, and in the second year after the end of the battle, Liu Bei returned to the west, which is a pity.

    <> "Why is the Battle of Yiling called one of the famous battles of the Three Kingdoms?"

    It has been described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that there were three famous battles in the Three Kingdoms period, namely the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Yiling, the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Guandu are rare battles in history that win more with less, and in the Battle of Yiling in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Shu army led by Liu Bei and the Wu army led by Lu Xun are basically the same number of troops invested by both sides, so why, the Battle of Yiling will also be called a famous battle in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

    First of all, because the author Luo Guanzhong spent a lot of pen and ink on the Battle of Yiling, Guan Yu was beheaded by Lu Meng, Zhang Fei wanted to avenge Guan Yu, but was injured by his soldiers, and the previous series of stories were all to pave the way for the Battle of Yiling.

    In the battle of Yihao Qiling, Lu Xun burned Liu Bei's 700-mile company camp, and Zhuge Liang also cleverly laid out the gossip array in this battle, and the author also used four times to describe this battle, which shows that the battle of Yiling, in the eyes of the author Luo Guanzhong, is very meaningful in history.

    In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei led an army of 700,000 to the east in order to exterminate Eastern Wu, but this 700,000 is not in line with reality, just like when Cao Cao led millions of people in Chibi, this 700,000 and Cao Cao's million at the beginning is a collapse of spring, when Cao Cao led millions of people, to Chibi wanted to annihilate Liu Bei and Sun Quan in one fell swoop, he claimed to have a million soldiers, but in fact there were not so many, and the 700,000 army led by Liu Bei in the east is also an imaginary number.

    After all, in the heyday of the Shu Han Dynasty, the population was only one million soldiers, hundreds of thousands, even if all the Shu Han people joined the army at that time, it was difficult to gather enough 700,000 troops, this is the exaggerated technique used by Luo Guanzhong when writing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in fact, in the real history of the Yiling War, the Shu army was only 50,000 at most, and Lu Xun of Eastern Wu also brought almost 50,000 Wu troops, which can be said to be evenly matched.

    The reason why the Battle of Yiling has this qualification is because the Battle of Yiling is the same as the other two battles, that is, after this battle, it has a great impact on the development of history, in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's 100,000 army with 20,000 to 30,000 troops, which laid the foundation for Cao Cao's unification of the north; In the Battle of Chibi, the 50,000 troops of the Sun-Liu coalition army defeated more than 200,000 Cao troops, which made Cao Cao unable to complete his wish to dominate the world, and also laid the foundation for the three-legged dominance of the world.

    In the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei was careless and asked Lu Xun to find a friend of the Tomb and use fire to attack, resulting in the annihilation of the defenders led by Liu Bei, and at that time Liu Bei had no ability to take the initiative to attack, and the world temporarily entered a relatively calm period, and after the Battle of Yiling, the Wu army and the Shu army were very miserable, so Shu Han and Eastern Wu chose to form an alliance again.

    Therefore, this battle can be said to be as long as anyone can seize an opportunity, can be completely won, although the battle of Yiling is not as famous as the battle of Chibi and the battle of Guandu, but the battle of Yiling is fully qualified, is included in the three major battles of the Three Kingdoms period, after all, in the battle of Yiling, the armies of both sides are evenly matched, and the slightest carelessness may be wiped out by the other party.

    Kiss hello, happy for you with this question.

    After the Battle of Yiling, Eastern Wu defended Jing Zhizizhou, while Shu Han was severely damaged and his vitality was greatly damaged. After the battle, the strength of Eastern Wu and Cao Wei was affected, laying the foundation for the two sides to eliminate contradictions and jointly resist Wei in the future. On the one hand, in terms of direct impact, the Battle of Yiling was an important turning point in the history of Shu Han, before the Battle of Yiling, Shu Han as a whole was an upward trend, and it was even expected to compete with Cao Wei for the world, but after the Battle of Yiling, despite Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, in fact, this was a continuation of Shu Han's survival time.

    In other words, after Liu Bei died of illness and Shu Han lost tens of thousands of soldiers, the demise of Shu Han was almost inevitable. On the other hand, as far as Eastern Wu is concerned, although it defeated Shu Han in the Battle of Yiling and held Jingzhou, which was attacked from Guan Yu, this also meant that Eastern Wu took on greater defensive pressure, and this pressure came from Cao Wei. For example, in the Battle of Yiling, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi sent a large army to conquer Eastern Wu.

    After the dislike of this forest, Cao Wei and Eastern Wu often clashed in Jingzhou, Jianghuai and other places. From the perspective of the trend of the entire history of the Three Kingdoms, before the Battle of Yiling, the territory of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu was constantly changing, but after the Battle of Yiling, the territory pattern of Wei, Shu and Wu was relatively stable, that is, there was not much change. Moreover, the strength of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu is basically fixed, that is, the Cao Wei family is dominant, the Eastern Wu is in the middle, and the Shu Han is the weakest.

    Therefore, the Battle of Yiling will be called the famous battle of the Three Kingdoms. One.

    The Battle of Yiling finally laid the border between Wu and Shu.

    With the defeat of Shu, Liu Bei and the first generation of generals who fought with Liu Bei fell back to the war, and Shu entered the period of Zhuge Liang's reign, and at the same time, it also announced that Shu was unable to unify the whole country.

    <> "Why is the Battle of Yiling called one of the famous battles of the Three Kingdoms?"

    Anyone who has watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows that there were three famous battles in the Three Kingdoms period, namely the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Yiling, the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Bald Heads are rare battles in history to win more with less, and in the Battle of Yiling in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Shu army led by Liu Bei and the Wu army led by Lu Xun are basically the same number of troops invested by both sides, so why, the Battle of Yiling will also be called a famous battle in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

    First of all, because the author Luo Guanzhong spent a lot of pen and ink on the battle of Yiling, Guan Yu was beheaded by Lu Meng, Zhang Fei wanted to avenge Guan Yu, but was injured by his soldiers, the previous series of stories are to pave the way for the battle of Yiling, in the battle of Yiling, Lu Xun burned Liu Bei's 700-mile company camp, and Zhuge Liang also skillfully did not go down the gossip array in this battle, and the author of this battle also used four back to describe, it can be seen that the battle of Yiling is in the eyes of the author Luo Guanzhong, It is very significant in history.

    In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms we watched, Liu Bei led an army of 700,000 to the east in order to exterminate Eastern Wu, but this 700,000 is not in line with reality, just like when Cao Cao led millions of people in Chibi, this 700,000 and Cao Cao's million at the beginning are the same meaning, when Cao Cao led millions of people to Chibi to annihilate Liu Bei and Sun Quan in one fell swoop, he claimed to have a million soldiers but in fact there were not so many, and the 700,000 army led by Liu Bei in the east is also an imaginary number, After all, in the heyday of Shu Han, the population was only one million soldiers and hundreds of thousands, even if all the people of Shu Han joined the army at that time, it was difficult to gather enough to gather an army of 700,000, which was an exaggerated technique used by Luo Guanzhong when writing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In fact, in the real history, the Shu army at the time of the Yiling War was only 50,000 good soldiers at most, and Lu Xun of Eastern Wu also brought almost 50,000 Wu troops, so it can be said that the two sides were evenly matched.

    The reason why the Battle of Yiling has this qualification is because the Battle of Yiling is the same as the other two battles, that is, it has a great impact on the development of history after this war. In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's army of 100,000 with a force of 20,000 to 30,000, thus laying the foundation for Youling Cao Cao's unification of the north. In the Battle of Chibi, the 50,000 troops of the Sun-Liu coalition army defeated more than 200,000 Cao troops, which made Cao Cao unable to complete his wish to dominate the world, and also laid the foundation for the three-legged dominance of the world.

    In the battle of his son, Liu Bei was careless, so that Lu Xun found an opportunity to use fire attack, resulting in the annihilation of the defenders of Tongling where Liu Bei was located, and at that time Liu Bei had no ability to take the initiative to attack, and the world temporarily entered a relatively calm period. Therefore, this battle can be said to be a complete victory as long as anyone can seize an opportunity, so I personally believe that although the Battle of Yiling is not as famous as Chibi and Guanlu Chundu, the Battle of Yiling is fully qualified to be included in the three major battles of the Three Kingdoms period, after all, at the time of the Battle of Yiling, the armies of both sides were evenly matched, and the slightest carelessness may be wiped out by the other party.

OneIt should be that Zhuge Liang was sick at that time, and he was seriously ill, so they didn't have anyone to give advice, so their morale would be greatly reduced。Therefore, after losing 50,000 soldiers and horses, it will be a slump, because if there is no morale, then it is really a particularly important loss for a team.

I think so, because Liu Bei was proud and complacent, so he insisted on avenging Guan Yu when his army was tired and the logistics were not enough, if there was more time to repair the army, he should not lose so badly.
