Lu Xun is a scholar, why can he defeat Liu Bei who has fought many battles?
Liu Bei, the founder of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, made a living selling straw sandals in his hometown of Zhuoxian when he was a child, but he claimed to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and he was ambitious and took it as his duty to save the world. He started his army in his twenties, until Zhuge Liang was invited out at the age of 50, and Liu Bei had no fixed place and drifted around. Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Liu Biao were the governors to whom Liu Bei took refuge. Although many defeats, others may have given up many times, so it is reasonable to be the king of a country with Liu Bei's indomitable tenacity.
Although Liu Bei has been through the battlefield, it does not mean that he must be proficient in tactics. Sun Tzu's Art of War says: soldiers are unpredictable and water is unpredictable, which means that there is no universal formula that can be applied to the battlefield. Every battle is different, and it is necessary to analyze various influencing factors separately. Moreover, the most taboo for military strategists is to attack for immediate interests and be blind and confident. And these two points, in the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei occupied, strangely, he was unbeaten.
Lu Xun, the son of Wu Dongshi's family, was very clever since he was a child. At the age of twenty, he was named by Sun Quan and accepted by his own think tank. Sun Quan accomplished several tasks very well and became one of Sun Quan's right-hand men. When attacking Jingzhou, Lu Xun cooperated with Lu Meng and successfully won Jingzhou. On the surface, Lu Xun is a weak scholar, but in fact, Lu Xun, like Zhuge Liang, has a lot of troops in his head.
In several battles before the battle of Yiling, the Shu-Han army was in full swing, and Liu Bei began to be proud, feeling that Dongwu was going to be destroyed by himself. So he didn't take more precautions, just thinking about how to kill Jianye quickly and take Sun Quan alive to avenge Guan Yu. When Liu Bei learned that Lu Xun was only a scholar, he didn't pay much attention to Wu Dong, and Liu Bei didn't see that Lu Xun retreated to Yiling in order to win the right place. Then Liu Bei, who was careless, camped on the mountain to let the sergeant spend the summer, even camped for 700 miles, which dispersed the military power and gave Lu Xun the opportunity to attack by fire.
Lu Xun certainly couldn't miss the opportunity, so the fire started and Liu Bei blushed. However, no one knows whether this is Liu Bei's blushing caused by his own blood gas upwelling, or whether the fire is too fierce and reflects Liu Bei's face.
Winning or losing is a common occurrence in military strategists. Since ancient times, there has been no real ever-victorious general, and there is no closed oil and salt shop.
