    Compared with Wei Shu, Sun Quan is not a descendant of the Liu family, nor does he have the same feats as Cao Cao, and his strength and prestige are slightly inferior, and Sun Quan hopes to see the battle between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and he can benefit from the fish.

    <> "The Battle of Yiling has been won by Eastern Wu, why didn't Sun Quan eliminate Shu Han."

    During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many very famous battles, such as the Battle of Guanjiaye Qingdu and the Battle of Yiling, which took place after Jingzhou was lost and Guan Yu was killed.

    Guan Yunchang is Liu Xuande's good brother, for the death of his brother, he is particularly sad and angry, so regardless of everyone's opposition, he wants to attack Dongwu, but the war has not yet begun, and another good brother Zhang Fei was killed by his subordinates, which made Liu Xuande even more sad, and also strengthened his determination to attack Dongwu, but he was not carried away by sadness, and still let Zhuge Liang guard the rear.

    Why did Eastern Wu win the victory, but did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy Shu Han? Although the losses of Shu in this war were particularly serious, even to the point of great loss of vitality, it was still very difficult for Eastern Wu to destroy Shu at once, not to mention that there was a tiger eyeing Cao Wei around.

    First of all, Liu Xuande retreated to the White Emperor City after the defeat, and then retreated, even if Eastern Wu has been attacking Shu Han, Liu Bei has not taken a step back, which makes Sun Quan feel frightened and dare not take further action, and Liu Bei took this opportunity to gather the scattered soldiers, and at this time Zhao Zilong also rushed to the White Emperor City with reinforcements. In this way, the Soochow army lost a good opportunity for further attacks.

    In addition, although the Shu army lost in the war, but the rear is still very stable, Shu is a military important place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a difficult thing to capture, not to mention that the other side has a particularly outstanding military division in all aspects - Kong Ming.

    Another point is also very important, at that time Wei, Shu and Dongwu controlled the entire Central Plains, and the strength of the three countries is equal, if Shu and Dongwu continue to fight, no matter which country in the end of the land to achieve the final victory, will make the two countries suffer huge losses, if Wei at this time take advantage of the weakness, it is possible to easily destroy Shu and Dongwu, because the three countries contain and balance each other, for the stability of the country is of great help.

    At the beginning of the war, Sun Quan and the famous general Lu Xun saw Cao Wei's thoughts, and understood that if Eastern Wu wanted to do their best to destroy Shu, it would be a time-consuming and labor-intensive war, and Eastern Wu would also reach a dilemma. If Wei attacked the rear of Eastern Wu at this time, Eastern Wu did not have enough troops to resist, so after the victory, it stopped the pursuit and took the initiative to retreat.

    The truth was indeed as they expected, and soon Cao Wei began to attack Eastern Wu, but fortunately, Lu Xun had already made all preparations, so that the other party did not get any benefits. In fact, it was not that Dongwu did not have the idea of destroying Shu Han, but because they couldn't destroy it at all, and they couldn't do that, this was a decision they made after weighing the pros and cons, because at that time, retiring was the wisest choice, and it was also the best choice to keep their strength.

    Strategically, Sun Quan responded to the Battle of Yiling by employing people without suspicion, and he appointed Lu Xun as the governor of the capital, which led to the victory of the war.

    Because Liu Bei didn't want to take the initiative to start a war, he was forced to be helpless, and he didn't have the right time, place and people at that time, so he was helpless. Because he believed that the war could be won, he would reject Sun Quan's request for peace.

    Liu Bei launched the Battle of Yiling when he was forced to be helpless, but in fact, he didn't want to start a war at that time. But in the face of the constant aggression of the Wei army, he could only have a positive impact.

The strength of Wei is about 450,000, which does not reach the so-called 600,000, not to mention that although Wei has a large number of troops, the battle line is far longer than that of Eastern Wu and Shu Han, thus constituting that although Wei is strong, it is unable to eliminate any of the two countries of Shu and Wu in a short period of time. When Shu was the strongest, Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong, with a military strength of 200,000, but due to Guan Yu's carelessness in losing Jingzhou, the loss of 60,000, Liu Bei went out to attack Wu after careful preparations, and the loss was about 50,000. The strength of Shu after the Battle of Yiling was about 100,000, otherwise there was no way to resist the siege of Wei after the Battle of Yiling, which was also the last capital left by Liu Bei for Shu at that time. >>>More
