Introduction to the Battle of Chibi: In the 13th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 208), the coalition forces of Sun Quan and Liu Bei fought in Chibi Mountain, northwest of Puqi City, Hubei Province, on the Yangtze River. Jishan) area, a decisive battle that defeated Cao Cao's army. After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and Wuhuan, and basically unified the north, in July of the 13th year of Jian'an, he sent his troops southward from Wan (now Nanyang, Henan), hoping to first destroy Liu Biao, and then move eastward along the Yangtze River to defeat Sun Quan and unify the world. In September, Cao's army marched into Xinye (now part of Henan). Liu Biao was dead by then, and his son Liu Cong surrendered without a fight. Liu Bei, who relied on Liu Biao to garrison troops in Fancheng (now part of Hubei Province), hurriedly led his troops and civilians to withdraw southward. Cao Cao recruited Liu Biao's troops and advanced toward the Yangtze River with a so-called 800,000-strong army. After Liu Bei was defeated by Cao's army in Chang (now Dangyang, Hubei), he sent Zhuge Liang to Chaisang (now southwest of Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to meet with Sun Quan on his way back to persuade Sun Quan to form an alliance against Cao. Sun Quan appointed Zhou Yu as the chief general and Cheng Pu as his deputy. He led 30,000 elite navy troops to join forces with Liu Bei's army stationed in Fankou (now the border of Ezhou, Hubei Province). He led about 50,000 people to march westward along the Yangtze River to meet Cao's army. In November, the allied forces of Sun and Liu confronted Cao's army in Chibi. Cao Cao connected the warships from bow to stern to form one unit to facilitate naval drills and wait for opportunities to attack. Zhou Yu adopted the fire attack plan proposed by his general Huang Gai and ordered him to write a letter to Cao Cao to pretend to surrender. Cao Cao fell into the plan. Huang Gai chose the right moment and led the Mengchong battleship to ride the wind into Cao Jun's water stronghold and set fire to it. Cao's warship array was burned, and the fire spread to the camps on the shore. Sun and Liu's coalition forces took advantage of the situation to attack. Cao's army suffered more than half casualties, so he led his troops to retreat north, leaving General Cao Ren to defend Jiangling. The coalition forces took advantage of the victory to expand their results, and the Sun and Liu armies occupied important areas in Jingzhou. In the decisive battle of Chibi, Cao Cao underestimated the enemy's complacency and made command errors under a favorable situation, which ultimately led to his defeat. At the critical moment when powerful enemies were advancing, Sun Quan and Liu Bei formed an alliance to fight against each other. They used their skills in water warfare and skillfully used fire to attack, and finally the weak defeated the strong. This battle laid the foundation for the future establishment of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu.

In the 13th year of Emperor Xian's reign of the Han Dynasty (208), the allied forces of Sun Quan and Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao's army in the Chibi area of ​​the Yangtze River (now northwest of Chibi, Hubei Province), a famous battle that laid the foundation for the establishment of the Three Kingdoms. The date of the war was from July to 12th in 208 AD. This is one of the famous examples in history of defeating more with less. After Cao Cao basically unified the north, he returned to Yecheng (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei) in the first month of the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208 AD) and immediately began to make military and political preparations for the southern expedition. Military aspects of the Battle of Chibi: Xuanwu Pond was built to train the navy, and Zhang Liao, Le Jin and others were sent to garrison south of Xudu to prepare for the southern expedition; at the same time, in order to relieve worries, measures were taken against the Guanzhong area that might be in turmoil, and the emperor sealed the horse. Teng was made a guard, and his son Ma Chao was made a partial general. He continued to lead the troops in Ma Teng's place, and ordered Ma Teng and his family to move to Ye as hostages to reduce the threat from the northwest; Politically: dismissed the three ministers, appointed prime minister and censor. The doctor appointed himself prime minister, further consolidating his dominance; he fabricated charges and killed Kong Rong, his political opponent who had repeatedly insulted and opposed him, in order to maintain his political authority. In July, Cao Cao adopted the strategy of his chief strategic advisor Shangshu Ling and his minister Xun Yu to "display Wan and Ye and advance lightly to hide their surprise". He personally led the army to conquer Jingzhou southward and marched towards Wancheng and Ye County. Go ahead. In addition, general Yangwu Zhonglang, Cao Hong, the admonishing doctor, and other generals were sent to launch a surprise attack from the east side road. In August, Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, died of illness, and his second son Liu Cong succeeded to the throne. In September, Cao Hong, the vanguard of Cao's army, successively defeated the Jingzhou army in Wuyin, Bowang and other places. The leading troops of Cao's army had already entered Xinye.

In addition, after Cao Cao captured Zhangling County, he ordered Zhao Yan to serve as the prefect and governor of Zhangling to protect the army, and to command Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, Zhang He, Zhu Ling, Li Dian, Feng Kai, and Lu to recruit seven more people to station in Zhangling. County, as a backup to provide support from the east. Liu Cong panicked, so he accepted the persuasion of Kuai Yue, Fu Xun and others, and secretly surrendered to Cao Cao without notifying the garrison troops on the front line of Fancheng. Liu Bei, the left general who had surrendered to Jingzhou when he was preparing to resist Cao's army, surrendered to Cao Cao. Liu Bei didn't realize that Liu Cong had surrendered to Cao Cao until Cao Cao's army arrived near Wancheng, so he sent someone to ask Liu Cong. At this time, Liu Cong sent Song Zhong to inform Liu Bei. Liu Bei was horrified and angry. In order to avoid being isolated, he had to immediately He abandoned Fan Nan and fled. When crossing the river to Xiangyang, the counselor Zhuge Liang advised Liu Bei to capture Xiangyang, but Liu Bei was unwilling and continued to go south. He sent another general, Guan Yu, to lead the navy to advance by water. However, many people around Liu Cong and Jingzhou soldiers and civilians defected to Liu Bei and fled with Liu Bei. As a result, Liu Bei's army was greatly slowed down and could only travel more than ten miles a day. At that time, Jiangling (the seat of Nanjun) had a large amount of grain, grass, weapons, etc. Some people advised Liu Bei to leave the people behind and capture Jiangling first, but Liu Bei was unwilling. Cao Cao heard the news of Liu Bei's departure south and was deeply afraid that Liu Bei would gain access to Jiangling's military strength, so he abandoned his baggage and marched lightly to Xiangyang. He then appointed Le Jin to guard Xiangyang and Xu Huang to garrison Fancheng, and personally communicated with Cao Chun, Jingzhou surrender general Wenpin and others He led five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to pursue Liu Bei. According to the "Han, Jin, Spring and Autumn" records, Wang Wei, Liu Cong's subordinate, once advised Liu Cong to take advantage of Cao Cao's unpreparedness when he came to surrender, capture Cao Cao with a surprise force, and take advantage of the situation to seize the Central Plains, but Liu Cong did not accept it. Drinking Horse Jianghan Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry caught up with Liu Bei at Changban at a speed of 300 miles a day. At that time, although Liu Bei had more than 100,000 soldiers and thousands of baggage, he had very few soldiers who could fight. Liu Bei then abandoned his wife and children and fled with Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang and dozens of other riders. Cao Jun captured Liu Bei's army and horses, countless baggage, and even captured Liu Bei's two wives. Since Mrs. Gan and the young Liu Chan failed to escape in time, Zhao Yun fought back to rescue them. At the same time, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to lead 20 cavalry to cut off the rear. Zhang Fei first demolished the bridge, crossed his spear by the river and immediately said: "I am Zhang Yide, come and fight to the death!" No one in Cao's army dared to approach, and Liu Bei was able to To escape, Cao Cao did not continue to pursue Liu Bei, but rushed to Jiangling. Previously, the power of the Marquis of Wu and General Tulu [1] who were entrenched in Jiangdong and Sun Quan, the prefect of Kuaiji, continued to grow. In the spring of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan defeated Liu Biao's general Huang Zu who was guarding Jiangxia, occupied several counties in Jiangxia, opened the door to Jingzhou from the west, and was about to annex Jingxiang. After hearing that Cao Cao went south, Sun Quan accepted Lu Su's suggestion to mourn Liu Biao. Lu Su was sent to Jingzhou in name, but actually to inquire about the intentions and news of Liu Bei and others. When Lu Su arrived at Nanjun, news came that Liu Cong had surrendered and Liu Bei had fled south. Lu Su then went north, met Liu Bei at Changban in Dangyang, and immediately persuaded Liu Bei to join forces with Sun Quan. Liu Bei obeyed and turned eastward to join Guan Yu's navy heading east from the Han River. He also met Liu Biao's eldest son and the prefect of Jiangxia, Liu Qi, who came for reinforcements with more than 10,000 men, so they retreated together to Xiakou on the east bank of the Yangtze River. After Cao Cao occupied Jiangling, he immediately took measures to settle the officials and people of the state. He ordered "the officials and people of Jingzhou to be reformed with them" and vigorously promoted the "merit of obedience" in Jingzhou. As a result, fifteen Jing people were made marquises, and famous people in Jingzhou were appointed. Han Song, Kuai Yue, Deng Xi and others appointed Wenpin as the prefect of Jiangxia, Cai Mao as Zhonglang, Sima, and Changshui captain; and Liu Zhang, the shepherd of Yizhou, had already sent his subordinate Yin Pu at the beginning of Cao Cao's campaign in Jingzhou. Pay tribute to Cao Cao. In order to appease Liu Zhang, Cao Cao appointed Liu Zhang as General Zhenwei. Soon after, Zhang Su sent troops to transport military supplies to Cao Cao, expressing his willingness to accept conscription. Zhang Su was conscripted into the post of Prime Minister's Mansion and worshiped as the Grand Administrator of Guanghan. After Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, Liu Zhang once again sent his chariot officer Zhang Song to visit Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao was already satisfied with his ambitions and was tired of Liu Zhang's constant coming to seek benefits, so he ignored him. Yang Xiu, the chief secretary, urged Cao Cao to also recruit Zhang Song as a staff member, but Cao Cao refused. Zhang Song felt resentful because of this, which paved the way for later persuading Liu Zhang to make friends with Liu Bei. Cao Cao used the surrendered Jingzhou navy as the main force in naval warfare and prepared for the Eastern Expedition. Some said the target was still Liu Bei, while others said it was Sun Quan who took advantage of the situation to annex Jiangdong. Jia Xu persuaded Cao Cao to first use Jingzhou's resources, recuperate the army and civilians, and stabilize the new territory. However, Cao Cao did not agree with his opinion. Pei Songzhi, a historian of the Southern Dynasties, also believed that Jia Xu's words were "not appropriate at the time." The Alliance of Lips and Teeth In October, Cao Cao left Cao Ren to garrison Jiangling while he personally led the army eastward. When Zhuge Liang saw Cao Cao going east, he said to Liu Bei: "The situation is urgent. Please ask General Sun for help." Then he and Lu Su returned to Chaisang (now southwest of Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to meet Sun Quan. Liu Bei also moved to the south bank of the Yangtze River and garrisoned at Fankou. After Zhuge Liang arrived at Chaisang, he first used the method of provoking Sun Quan. Then he realized that Sun Quan was unwilling to be controlled by Cao Cao, but he was worried that Cao Cao was too powerful to match him. Zhuge Liang then stated that Liu Bei's military strength was still no less than 20,000 and he was capable of fighting Cao Cong. Then he analyzed Cao Cao's disadvantages: the soldiers were exhausted due to the long expedition; the northerners were not used to water warfare; the people of Jingzhou had not yet sincerely surrendered to Cao Cao. Zhuge Liang believed that if Sun and Liu united, they could reverse the situation and win, and made it clear that after the war, there would be three-thirds of the world. Sun Quan was gradually persuaded.

However, at that time, Cao Cao was coming in force, and some of his staff, represented by Zhang Zhao, advocated surrender. They believed that Cao Cao was using the name of the Han Prime Minister to threaten the emperor and conquer all directions. It was unreasonable to resist; Cao Cao had occupied the Yangtze River, and there was no natural danger to the east of the river to defend; Cao Cao's army descended on both land and water, and their offensive was powerful. Jiangdong was unable to resist, so he advised Sun Quan to welcome Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao sent a letter persuading him to surrender. The letter said: "The navy army currently under control is 800,000, and Fang and the general will join forces to hunt in Wu." The intimidation is very serious. Therefore, Zhang Zhao and others were more determined to surrender to Cao Cao, and Sun Quan was unable to make a decision for a while. Lu Su took advantage of Sun Quan's opportunity to go to the toilet and secretly followed Sun Quan. He first pointed out that Zhang Zhao and others were not willing to surrender; he also said that if he surrendered to Cao Cao, he could still be an official. However, if Sun Quan, the leader of one party, surrenders, Cao Cao will never tolerate it. Sun Quan lamented that Zhang Zhao and others were "very disappointed", so he agreed with Lu Su's view. Lu Su suggested recalling Zhou Yu who was stationed in Poyang to discuss countermeasures. After Zhou Yu came back, he also firmly advocated resisting Cao Cao. He analyzed the weaknesses of Cao Jun one by one, which was roughly the same as Zhuge Liang's analysis: Cao Jun was exhausted and would definitely get sick; Cao Cao's future trouble: the soldiers of the Central Plains gave up the advantage of cavalry but were not used to water warfare. Then he further analyzed the actual strength of Cao's army and pointed out that Cao's army from the Central Plains only numbered 150,000 to 60,000, but they were exhausted from long battles, while the 78,000 to 80,000 who were newly recruited by Liu Biao were suspicious. Therefore, as long as there are 50,000 elite soldiers, we can defeat it. So Sun Quan finally made up his mind, drew his sword and cut off the corner of the table in public, saying: "If the generals dare to say something again, they should welcome you, it is the same as this case!" He appointed Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu as the left and right commanders, and Lu Su as the captain of the Zan Army. He helped plan the strategy and led Huang Gai, Han Dang, Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Lu Fan and other 30,000 soldiers up the river to fight against Cao Cao with Liu Bei. Sun Quan continued to garrison at Chaisang, transporting supplies of food and grass for Zhou Yu as a backup, and told Zhou Yu that if the war went unfavorably, "I will return to my own country, and I will fight with Meng De alone." At this time, many people in Cao Cao's camp believed that Sun Quan did not dare to resist Cao Cao and would kill Liu Bei and then follow Liu Cong's footsteps. This idea was also revealed in Cao Cao's letter to persuade him to surrender, but Cheng Yu believed that everyone lacked understanding of Sun Quan and may have misjudged Sun Quan's courage. Liu Bei was famous, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were enemies of ten thousand people, and Sun Quan himself Knowing that it is difficult to survive alone, he will definitely help Liu Bei and join forces with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao. The result was exactly as Cheng Yu predicted. Fierce Battle at Chibi In December, Zhou Yu led his army to join Liu Bei at Fankou. Then the two armies went upstream to Chibi and met Cao's army who was crossing the river. Cao's army was already suffering from the plague at that time, and the newly formed navy and the newly attached Jingzhou navy had difficulty getting along, and their morale was obviously low. Therefore, they were defeated by Zhou Yu's navy in the first battle. Cao Cao had to "lead the navy to the north of the Yangtze River" to join the army, and moved the warship to the Wulin side of the north bank to train the navy and wait for a good opportunity. Zhou Yu docked his warship on the Red Cliff side of the south bank and confronted Cao's army across the Yangtze River. At that time, Cao Cao connected the bows and sterns of the ships because the Northern soldiers were not used to riding in ships, so that the men and horses could walk on the ground as if they were on the ground. Zhou Yu's general Huang Gai then suggested: "Today the invaders are outnumbered and it is difficult to sustain them for a long time. However, if the warships are connected end to end, they can be burned and driven away." [2] Zhou Yu adopted Huang Gai's fire attack strategy and Have Huang Gai write a letter to Cao Cao to pretend to surrender in order to get close to Cao Cao's warship. On the day of the war, Huang Gai prepared ten light and profitable ships, loaded with firewood and ointment, camouflaged with red curtains, and decorated with flags and dragon flags. At that time, the wind from the southeast was strong, and ten ships were sailing down the Zhongjiang River. Huang Gai saw torches with his hands, causing all the soldiers to shout in unison: "Surrender!" Cao's officers and soldiers were unprepared. . About two miles away from Cao's army, Huang Gai ordered the firewood to be lit, and the fire started at the same time. The fire was fierce and the wind was fierce. The ship was like an arrow, burning the northern ship and spreading to all the camps on the shore. In an instant, the sky was filled with smoke, and countless Cao soldiers were burned and drowned. The allied forces of Sun and Liu on the other side crossed the Yangtze River and took advantage of the chaos to defeat Cao's army. Seeing that the defeat was irreversible, Cao Cao immediately burned the remaining warships and led his army along the Huarong Trail (now north of Jianli, Hubei Province) to retreat towards Jiangling. Zhou Yu and Liu Bei's troops advanced by land and water and followed him in pursuit. More than half of Cao's troops suffered casualties in this battle. After Cao Cao returned to Jiangling, he feared that the defeat in Chibi would destabilize the power in the rear, so he immediately returned to the north, leaving Cao Ren, Xu Huang and others to continue to guard Nanjun (where Jiangling was governed), and then appointed Yue Jin to guard Xiangyang, Man Chong acted as General Fenwei and stationed in Dangyang. The coalition forces of Sun and Liu won the Battle of Chibi. The defeat in the Battle of Chibi made Cao Cao lose the possibility of unifying the country in a short period of time. Sun and Liu took advantage of this victory to begin to develop and strengthen their respective forces. The battle for Jingzhou among the three families of Cao, Liu, and Sun began. After that, Cao Cao returned to the north and never had the opportunity to conduct such a large-scale southern expedition, but he still occupied Nanyang and Nanjun counties (later divided into Xiangyang County and Nanxiang County from Nanjun and Nanyang County [one says Zhangling County]) , Liu Bei began to send his troops to attack the four counties of Lingling, Wuling, Guiyang, and Changsha south of the Yangtze River. Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to besiege Jiangling County, the seat of Nanjun. In the 14th year of Jian'an (AD 209), Sun Quan personally led an army to attack Hefei, and Zhang Zhao led an army to attack Dangtu in Jiujiang County (see the First Battle of Hefei for details), but both failed; Zhou Yu and others were ordered to attack Dangtu in Jiujiang County. Attacking Jiangling where Cao Ren was staying, and confronting him across the river, Zhou Yu sent Gan Ning to attack Yiling (today's Yichang, Hubei), and Cao Ren also divided his troops to besiege. Gan Ning appealed to Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu used Lü Meng's plan. After leaving Ling Tong to guard, he and Lü Meng went to rescue him. After Gan Ning's siege was resolved, he led them to the north bank. The Wu army first surrounded Niu Jin, Cao Ren's general who came to fight, but was later rescued by Cao Ren twice. Later, the two sides fought in Keqi.

Zhou Yu personally stood on his horse and stood in the formation, but was shot in the right side by a stray arrow. He was seriously injured, so he retreated. Later, Cao Ren knew that Zhou Yu had not gotten up from bed, so he sent troops to the Wu formation. Zhou Yu then got up, marched to the camp, and encouraged the officials, so Cao Ren retreated. From then on, the two sides were in a confrontation. Lu Meng later recalled: "In the past, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were the governors of the left and right departments, and they attacked Jiangling. Although the matter was decided by Yu, Pu relied on his long-term generals, and both were governors, so they were at odds. "Several defeats in national affairs" shows that the internal conflicts between Zhou and Cheng were also one of the reasons why Jiangling could not be conquered for a long time. On the other hand, Liu Bei petitioned Liu Qi, the prefect of Jiangxia, as the governor of Jingzhou, and he led his army to quickly attack the four counties in Jingnan, including Wuling (the county is in today's Changde, Hunan), Changsha, Guiyang (the county is in today's Chenxian, Hunan), and Lingling (the county is in today's Chenxian, Hunan). Today's Yongzhou, Hunan), four counties surrendered one after another. Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Liang, the commander-in-chief of the military strategist, to supervise the three counties of Lingling, Guiyang, and Changsha, and adjust their taxes to strengthen the army. At the same time, local forces such as Lei Xu and Chen Lan who were entrenched in Lujiang County rebelled. Cao Cao ordered the generals led by Xia Houyuan to attack Lei Xu. Generals Huwei Yu Jin, Weilu General Zang Ba and others attacked Meicheng, and the bandit generals were defeated. Zhang Liao and Pingdi general Zhang He attacked Chen Lan. Chen Lan and Meicheng were beheaded. After Lei Xu was defeated, he led tens of thousands of troops to flee to Jingzhou to join Liu Bei. After Liu Bei's strength was expanded, he marched to Jiangling to assist Zhou Yu. He assigned Zhang Fei and a thousand of his troops to Zhou Yu's command. He also borrowed two thousand soldiers from Zhou Yu and sent Guan Yu and Wu general Su Fei to wait until Xia River to cut off the North Road and block Xiangyang. The connection with Jiangling completely besieged Cao Ren. Le Jin, Xu Huang, Man Chong and others led their troops to Xiashui and Hanjin to attack Guan Yu, and Guan Yu retreated. Later, Li Tong, the governor of Runan, was ordered to lead his troops to rescue Cao Ren. He fought all the way and personally dismounted his horse and pulled out antlers to enter the camp. He was braver than the generals, but he fell ill and died on the way. Finally, after being besieged for more than a year, Cao Ren ran out of food and aid and suffered many casualties. He was forced to evacuate voluntarily, and Zhou Yu's army entered Jiangling. Sun Quan then occupied Nanjun and Jiangxia, appointed Zhou Yu as a partial general to lead the prefect of Nanjun, and appointed Cheng Pu as General Pi to lead the prefect of Jiangxia. Later, Liu Bei met Sun Quan and asked to be the governor of Jingzhou. Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan to agree and reject Cao Cao with his army. Sun Quan then admitted the fact that Liu Bei had occupied the land south of the Yangtze River. Cao Cao was writing when he heard about this, and he was shocked and dropped the pen in his hand. [3] Liu Bei petitioned Sun Quan to act as the general of chariots and cavalry, leading Xuzhou as a herdsman, and he took charge of Jingzhou as a herdsman. He placed the government office and base camp at the mouth of Youjiang River and renamed it Gong'an. In order to deepen the relationship between Sun and Liu, Sun Quan married his sister to Liu Bei. During this period, many of Liu Biao's former officials and soldiers defected to join Liu Bei. Cao Cao sent Jiang Gan to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, but failed. After Zhou Yu's death in the fifteenth year of Jian'an, Fenwu captain Lu Su replaced Zhou Yu and led the troops to garrison in Jiangling. The later grandson Quan Na Lusu proposed to "lend" Nanjun, which he occupied in Jingzhou territory, to Liu Bei. As a result, Liu Bei occupied most of Jingzhou's territory and moved it to Jiangling. Sun Quan also asked Liu Bei to divide part of Changsha County into his territory, establish Hanchang County, make Lu Su the prefect, and change it to Lukou[4]. The prototype of the three points in the world began to take shape, and the competition for the top spot began a new chapter.

After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and Wuhuan, and basically unified the north, in July of the 13th year of Jian'an, he sent his troops from Wan to the south, hoping to first destroy Liu Biao, and then move eastward along the Yangtze River to defeat Sun Quan and unify the world. In September, Cao's army entered Xinye. By then Liu Biao was dead and his son Liu Cong surrendered without a fight. Liu Bei, who relied on Liu Biao to garrison troops in Fancheng, hurriedly led his troops and civilians to retreat south. Cao Cao recruited Liu Biao's troops and advanced toward the Yangtze River with a so-called 800,000-strong army. After Liu Bei was defeated by Cao's army, he sent Zhuge Liang to Chaisang to meet with Sun Quan on the way to retreat, and persuaded Sun Quan to form an alliance against Cao. Sun Quan appointed Zhou Yu as the chief general and Cheng Pu as his deputy. He led 30,000 elite navy troops, combined with Liu Bei's army stationed at Fankou, and sent about 50,000 men up the Yangtze River to the west to meet Cao's army. In November, the allied forces of Sun and Liu confronted Cao's army in Chibi. Cao Cao connected the warships from bow to stern to form one unit to facilitate naval drills and wait for opportunities to attack. Zhou Yu adopted the fire attack plan proposed by his general Huang Gai and ordered him to write a letter to Cao Cao to pretend to surrender. Cao Cao fell into the plan. Huang Gai chose the right moment and led the Mengchong battleship to ride the wind into Cao Jun's water stronghold and set fire to it. Cao's warship array was burned, and the fire spread to the camps on the shore. Sun and Liu's coalition forces took advantage of the situation to attack. Cao's army suffered more than half casualties, so he led his troops to retreat north, leaving General Cao Ren to defend Jiangling. The coalition forces took advantage of the victory to expand their results, and the Sun and Liu armies occupied important areas in Jingzhou.

In the decisive battle of Chibi, Cao Cao underestimated the enemy's complacency and made command errors under a favorable situation, which ultimately led to his defeat. At the critical moment when powerful enemies were advancing, Sun Quan and Liu Bei formed an alliance to fight against each other. They used their skills in water warfare and skillfully used fire to attack, and finally the weak defeated the strong.
