In the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei did not have an eight hundred mile company camp

The history books say a lot about the 800-mile company camp. At that time, in the first year of Zhangwu of the Shu Han Dynasty (221), Liu Bei led a large army to attack Wu in order to avenge Wu's capture of Jingzhou and Guan Yu's killing. Wu general Lu Xun insisted on not fighting in order to avoid his front, and the two sides became confrontational.

The expedition of the Shu army, the supply is difficult, and it cannot be resolved quickly, and the weather is hot after the summer, so that the sharp spirit is gradually lost and the morale is low. In order to relieve the suffering of the soldiers, Liu Bei ordered the Shu army to camp in the mountains and forests to escape the heat. Lu Xun saw the opportunity and ordered the soldiers to bring a handful of thatch each, and when they arrived at the Shu army camp, they set fire to it and attacked it.

The wooden fence of the Shu military camp and the surrounding trees were flammable, and the fire quickly spread in the battalions. The Shu army was in chaos and was broken by more than 40 battalions by the Wu army. But no matter how much, it is intended to express the size of the Shu military camp, and the contrast to Lu Xun's military exploits is greater.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has said that the fire burned the camp for 800 miles, which refers to the battle of Yiling was broken by Lu Xun with fire to break Liu Bei's camp, the battle of Yiling was started in the first year of Shu Han Zhangwu (221 years), and ended in the second year of Shu Han Zhangwu (222 years), which was a war between Eastern Wu (Sun Quan) and Shu Han (Liu Bei) during the Three Kingdoms period for the five southern counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling), and it was also a famous successful example of active defense in the history of ancient Chinese warfare. The Battle of Yiling is one of the three major battles in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and these three major battles are the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Yiling.

Seven hundred miles and eight hundred miles are all fiction, how far is that, from Beijing to Xingtai, is it burned? Burning most of the province, I really dare, and my ability is really strong.

Lu Xun of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.

If you don't fight this stick, Brother Zhu Liang is still likely to be able to win the battle of the Three Kingdoms. . . Ay.

Logically speaking, Liu Bei only brought 40,000 people to attack Eastern Wu this time, which was more risky. How many troops did Soochow have? 40,000 people can always make it up, right? Not to mention anything else, Sun Quan took 100,000 troops to Hefei every time.

So let's say beat these 40,000 people out of 200,000. The military might of 300,000 people, or even 750,000 troops, is a very important thing, if you show your own weakness to the enemy, for example, my strength is rarely seen by others, Soochow will not sit down and negotiate with you, or show that you want to surrender.

Therefore, this time the focus of the war is to bluff in four words, to beat out one's own royal prestige and hide one's numbers, and to show that oneself has a large number of troops, which has become a top priority. But there is really no way to imagine the 700 miles of the company camp, so we can only answer how the 700 miles of the company camp came to be based on history.

First of all, Liu Bei's army must be bluffing, camping everywhere! The footprint is sure to be large enough to make others look, oh! Liu Bei has a lot of troops, this army is very strong, don't provoke him.

The second is this 700 miles. According to the above records in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, after Lu Xun defeated Liu Bei in Yiling, Liu Bei did not have a real rout, that is, he fled all the way from Yiling to White Emperor City, but gathered defeated troops in the middle of the way, resisted all the way to Lu Xun and slowly retreated to White Emperor City. This is obviously inconsistent with the description in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and Lu Xun sent troops to chase Liu Bei all the way to White Emperor City.

Therefore, these 700 miles should be the distance consumed by Lu Xun to chase and kill Liu Bei! Lu Xun pursued and killed Liu Bei for 700 miles, and in the end his troops were insufficient, so he could only retreat to defend against the danger from the north.

As for the question that Liu Bei has been on the battlefield for a long time, this is true, but if you want to say that he is very good at fighting, this point is really not necessarily Liu Bei's battles, as long as he personally commands, few battles are won.

Let's take a look at Liu Bei's description in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he himself is not a person who is particularly capable of fighting, every time he commands, he always makes some common-sense mistakes, for example, on the Changban Slope, he carries the old and young women and children together, although there is a suspicion of blocking Cao Cao's army, but carrying this old, weak, sick and disabled army does slow down his marching speed, and finally led to not taking Jiangling City before Cao Cao's army comes, and then Xuzhou Dong Sheng, if he can stick to Xuzhou and wait for Yuan Shao, It was a good thing, but in the end he had to sneak up on Cao Cao's camp, and as a result, as soon as the army went out, he never returned.

Because Liu Bei himself does not have the ability to command, many wars are planned by Zhuge Liang, and he just issues orders on the sidelines, so it is normal to make this kind of mistake.

"The company camp is 700 miles"It is the saying in ** that is used to describe the strong power of Liu Bei's army"Seven hundred miles"It's just an adjective, and besides, ancient military strategists liked to exaggerate their power when using troops to intimidate the enemy in order to achieve it"Take the lead"or"The purpose of the army without a fight"
