The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of the Ancestors recorded: "Rejection of Xiahou and prohibition are equal to Bowang." For a long time, the first lord set up an ambush, and once the tun was burned, the Hui faction chased after it, and it was broken by the ambush. ”

The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Li Dian also has the same record: "Liu Biao made Liu Bei invade the north, to Ye, Taizu sent him, and refused from Xiahoudun." Once the tun is burned, lead the army to pursue it.

The dictionary said: 'If the thief retreats for no reason, there will be a lurk in doubt.' The south road is narrow, the grass and trees are deep, and it cannot be chased.

If you don't listen, you will be forbidden to chase it, and you will stay behind. Waiting for the fruit to enter the thief's ambush, the battle is unfavorable, pawn to rescue, prepare the liquid Bilu to see the rescue, but retreat. ”

From these two records, it can be seen that the facts are still very different from the burning of Bowangpo in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This battle was not Cao Cao's killing of Xinye, but Liu Biao's dispatch of Liu Bei to take the initiative to attack Ye County. Liu Bei did set up an ambush and led Cao Bing to the narrow and grassy south road, and fire was also used in the war.

Liu Bei burned the camp by himself, and faked defeat to lead Cao's soldiers into the ambush circle; More importantly, this battle did not happen after Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, but before he left the mountain, and the burning of Bowangpo was not done by Zhuge Liang, it was Liu Bei himself who burned Bowangpo.

The battle of Bowangpo took place in the seventh year of Emperor Jian'an of Han Xian, and Bowangpo was located in Bowang Town, Fangcheng County, Nanyang City, Henan Province. In order to resist Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, Cao Cao assigned the generals Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, Li Dian and Yu Bowang to fight with Liu Bei.

Later, Cao Cao shifted his focus to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang in the north, and had no time to take care of Liu Bei in Jingzhou, so that he could get a chance to recuperate, and Liu Biao was unwilling to attack Cao Cao in the north, and there was peace in the southern part of the Central Plains for several years.

The burning of Bowangpo was personally commanded by Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang had not yet come out of the mountain at this time. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208 AD), Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei had to rely on Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou and Yu Ban to lead an army to attack Xinye in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao asked Liu Bei to resist.

Liu Bei set up an ambush, pretended to escape, and burned the camp, Xiahoudun and others led a large army to pursue, but were defeated by Liu Bei's ambush, and the army was defeated.

In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Wu, and Shu competed for hegemony. However, at that time, the Shu State was not as large as the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was not as advantageous as the Eastern Wu Dynasty, so it was in danger of being annexed at any time. In order to resist Wei and Wu and complete the hegemony of unifying the world, Liu Bei, the lord of Shu, invited Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain to assist.

Zhuge Liang was familiar with military books and had already analyzed the war situation. He saw that if he wanted to compete with Wei Wu, he must first defeat the strength of one side, so as to achieve the goal of weakening the enemy army and strengthening himself. At the same time, he pointed the enemy-breaking Maotou at Wei first.

Cao Gongyi broke Shao and attacked the first lord from the south. The first lord sent Elk Di, Sun Gan and Liu Biao to hear each other, greet them from the suburbs, and treat them with courtesy, benefit their soldiers, and make Tun Xinye. There are more and more heroes in Jingzhou who return to their ancestors, and they are suspicious of their hearts and yin and royal.

So that the rejection of Xiahou Dun and the ban are equal to Bowang. The first lord set up an ambush, once he burned the tun and escaped, he chased after him, and was broken by the ambush. "The Legend of the Ancestors of the Three Kingdoms".

Liu Biao made Liu Bei invade the north, and when he reached Ye, Taizu sent the canon to refuse from Xiahou Dun. Once the tun is burned, Dun led the army to pursue it, and said: "The thief retreats without a reason, and there must be an ambush."

The south road is narrow and narrow, the grass and trees are deep, and it cannot be chased. "Don't listen, and Yu Ban chases him, and stays behind. Dun waited for the fruit to enter the thief's ambush, the battle was unfavorable, the pawn went to the rescue, and the army dispersed and retreated.

The Biography of Li Dian in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms

First, he fought with Xiahou Dun in Bowang and won Xiahoulan. Lan is a native of Yunxiang, young and young, Yunbai is the first to live, and recommends Lan Ming to the law, thinking that the army is right. "Farewell to the Clouds".

Therefore, there are actually two misunderstandings about the burning of Bowang.

The first misunderstanding is that this battle was personally commanded by Liu Bei, and it was fought in 202 when Cao Cao attacked Yecheng in the north, and Zhuge Liang came out in 207, so in the battle of Bowang, Zhuge Liang did not participate in the war at all, let alone put forward a plan.

The second misunderstanding is that the battle of Bowang did not launch a fire attack, but purely ambushed the troops to win, and the arson was also Liu Bei's own burning of the cantonment, in order to forge the illusion of retreating, and induce Xiahoudun to pursue and ambush.

The famous battle in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", this is the first battle fought by Kong Ming after leaving the mountain. Zhuge Liang used a little trick and defeated Cao's army with fire at Bowangpo, which finally convinced Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.

In the twelfth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (207 AD), Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to worship as a military advisor and drill military horses day and night. In the autumn of that year, Cao Cao made Xiahoudun the governor, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Xiahoulan, Han Hao and others as deputy generals, led 100,000 troops, and went straight to Xinye (now Xinye County, Henan Province) to conquer Liu Bei. After Liu Bei heard the news, he immediately summoned the soldiers, and Zhuge Liang divided the troops and sent the generals for the first time, asking the generals to act according to the plan.

After Xiahoudun and Yu Ban led troops to Bowangpo, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun feigned defeat and left. By this time it was getting late and a strong wind was blowing. Xiahoudun only cared about the pursuit, and unknowingly fell into the ambush circle, and suddenly a fire broke out around him, and the sound of killing vibrose.

For a time, all the reeds around were burning, and the fire took advantage of the wind and the flames soared into the sky. Cao Jun trampled on each other, and countless people died. Zhao Yun led his troops back again, and Xiahoudun led some of the military horses to flee suddenly.

At this time, Guan Yu saw the fire and sent troops to intercept the grain and grass, and a big fire caused all the grain and grass to burn. Yu Ban and Li Dian escaped by taking a small road. When Zhang Fei saw the fire, he led the troops to set fire to his baggage in Bowang City.

Xia Houlan and Han Hao escaped by taking the road. In this battle, Cao's army suffered numerous casualties. Liu Bei won his first all-out victory.

This was the first battle that Kong Ming fought after he came out of the mountain. Zhuge Liang used a little trick and defeated Cao's army with fire at Bowangpo, which finally convinced Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others. There are poems in the history books to praise:

Bo Wang held each other and attacked with fire, and the commander was laughing and talking. Zhixu shocked Cao Gong's courage, the first skill of the fledgling! ”
