At the beginning, Lu Su heard of Liu Biao's minions and said to Sun Quan, "Jingzhou is close to the country, with dangerous mountains and rivers, fertile soil in Wan Li and rich scholars. If there is evidence, the emperor's capital is also there. Now that Liu Biao is dead, the two sons are at odds. The generals in the army are different. Liu Bei, the hero of the world, has a gap with Cao Cao. Putting it on the table shows that it cannot be used. If you are going to live in harmony with him, you should be calm and make a good alliance; If there is any deviation, it is advisable not to draw it to help the great event. Sue asked someone to hang the watch of her second son, and comforted those who used it in the army, and said that he would be prepared to care for the people all over the world and rule Cao Cao with one heart and one mind, and he would happily do as he said. If there is harmony, the world can be settled. If you don't leave soon today, you may do it first. " On the right is the delivery line.

Compared with Nanjun, but the bush had already got off, and he was ready to go south, and met a safe path, ready to meet in Dangyang Changban. Su Xuan appeared in the newspaper, discussing the world's major events, showing his hospitality, and asked Bei, "What does Yuzhou want today?" Bei said, "I have an old friendship with Wu Ju, the satrap of Cangwu, and I want to vote for him." Su Su said: "Sun pursues intelligence, kindness and kindness, and respects wise and humble people. He once belonged to six counties, and his soldiers had enough refined food to make a difference. Today is your plan, so I will send my heart to the East to help the world.

Cao Cao went down the river from Jiangling, and Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei, "It's urgent. Please order General Sun for help. " So both Lu Su and Sun Quan are interested in Sun Quan. When Liang saw that Chai Sang was in power, he said, "There was chaos at sea. The general set out for Jiangdong, and Liu Yuzhou took over Hannan to compete with Cao Cao for the world. Today, the defeat of barbarians is a great disaster, and it is a little flat, so Jingzhou is broken and the world is awesome. Heroes are useless, so Yuzhou fled here. May the general do what he can! If you can compete with China with the people of wuyue, it is better to give up early; If not, why not put armor on soldiers and do it in the north! Today, in the name of submission, the general is hesitant, and things are urgent, and it never rains but it pours! " Quan said, "In that case, why didn't Liu Yuzhou do it?" Liang Yue said, "Tian Heng, a strong man of Qi, still has his righteousness and does not humiliate him; In addition, Liu Yuzhou's royal family has outstanding talents and is admired by all the people. If things are not good, this is heaven and security can be restored! " Quan flew into a rage and said, "I can't support the whole land of Wu, and hundreds of thousands of people are subject to others." I'll decide! " You can't be Cao Cao unless you are Liu Yuzhou. However, after Yuzhou's new defeat, is it hard for Ann to resist this? "Liang said," Although the Yuzhou army was defeated by Nagano, there are still 10,000 troops in Guan Yu's water army, not less than 10,000 in Jiangxia's Liu Qibing. Cao Cao's men came from far away, tired, and heard about Yuzhou's pursuit, and they rode for more than 300 miles a day and night. This so-called "a spent force cannot penetrate Lu" is also true, so the art of war is taboo, saying "you must be a general." Northerners don't learn to fight in water; Moreover, the people of Jingzhou are attached to the operators and are not convinced by the situation. Now, the general can lead tens of thousands of soldiers to form a brave army and defeat Cao Cao's army together with Yuzhou Xiegui. If Cao Cao is in Pojun, he will return to the north; In this way, Jing and Wu are strong and walk on their feet. The chance of success or failure is today! "QuanDaYue, conspiracy under its group.

And the general trend can refuse to hold, the Yangtze River also; Today Jingzhou has its place, Liu Biao controls water, and Meng Chong has thousands of warships. Cao Cao knew that it floated along the river, with both infantry and land. This is the risk of the Yangtze River. Stay with me. And powerful. It is better to satisfy a stupid plan than to satisfy it. " Lu Su said nothing. Have the right to change clothes and pursue Yu Xia. Knowing his intention, Su Quan shook his hand and said, "What are you trying to say?" Su Su said, "I just want to make mistakes with the generals, but I don't want to do anything important. Today, you can see Cao's ears, just like a general. Why is there still a long way to go? Nowadays, Cao Cao should repay the hard-working party with Su and enjoy its prestige.

When Zhou Yu was sent to Fan Yang, he urged the Emperor to recall Zhou Yu. When Zhou Yu arrived, he said to Quan, "Although Cao Cao is famous, he is actually a Chinese thief. With SHEN WOO's outstanding talent and the strength of his fathers and brothers, the general divided his troops into Jiangdong, spent thousands of miles, made good use of his soldiers, and worked hard as a hero to eliminate the residue and filth for the Han family; What evil did Cao Cao Can encounter when he died? Please lift it for the general. Today, the land in the north is uneven, and Ma Chao and Han Sui are still in Kansai, which is Cao Cao's future trouble; And hold the pommel horse, fight the boat, and compete with wuyue. It's cold now, and the horse has no draft grass. Driving China scholars to travel far and wide. If you are not used to water and soil, you will get sick. This number also suffers from fighting, and Cao Cao is desperate. General, fuck it. It should be today. I invited tens of thousands of elite soldiers to live in Xiakou, which was guaranteed by the general! " Quan said, "The old thief wants to abolish Han, and he has been on his own for a long time, avoiding Yuan, Lu Bu, Liu Biao and Gu Er; Today, the number of men has been destroyed, but loneliness still exists. Loneliness and an old thief are at odds, and your words will be attacked, even with loneliness. On this day, you will grant loneliness. " As a prelude to the sword-drawing case, he said: "The generals and officials who dare to speak again and do welcome actions are just like this case!" This is a strike.

That night, Yu saw Quan again, saying, "When people read in the book that there were 6.8 million steps of water, they were all scared and didn't know whether it was true or not, so they started this discussion. This is meaningless, pet-name ruby. Today, there are only1560,000 people in the country who really go to school, and they are tired for a long time; The income is also extremely 70,000 to 80,000 ears, which is still suspicious. The husband guarded the suspicious crowd with a tired soldier. Although there are many people, they are not afraid. Zhou Yu got 50 thousand chosen men and was self-sufficient. May the general not worry! " All touched his back and said, "it's lonely for you to say that." Zi Bu and Yuan Biao are very concerned about their wives and deeply disappointed with their private concerns. Du Qing and Amethyst share a common loneliness. On this day, Qinghe praises loneliness! Fifty thousand soldiers could not be combined, so thirty thousand people were chosen, and ships, food and war gear were readily available. Qing Zi Jing and Chenggong were in the first place, and they were left alone to continue sending many people, carrying more resources and providing support for Qing Dynasty. If you can do it, you really decide. If you are unhappy, you will be lonely and alone with Meng De. " So Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were the left and right governors, and the soldiers and equipment were combined with each other. Praise the army for helping painting with Lu Su as a captain.

Jin and Cao Cao met at Chibi. Cao Cao's army has suffered from diseases and epidemics. On the first day of the war, Cao Cao's army was unfavorable and was led to Jiangbei. When Yu and others are in the south bank, Yu will say to Huang Gai: "Today, being outnumbered, it is difficult to last. Fuck the army, connect the boats, end to end, and you can burn them. " We brought ten Meng Chong warships, loaded with dry firewood, filled with oil, wrapped them with curtains, put flags on them, and tied them to our tails. First, keep books for exercise and cheat the clouds. When the southeast wind is in a hurry, ten ships are at the forefront, Zhongjiang sails, and the rest of the ships are in the second place. All the officials and the officials who ran the army stood up from the camp, pointing at the words and hiding. I went to the northern army for more than two miles, and I was also on fire. The fire was fierce, and the ship was like an arrow leaving the string, burning up the north ship and extending to the shore. In a short time, smoke billowed, and more people were burned and drowned. The rate was light and sharp, and then thunder rumbled, drumming and shouting, and the northern army suffered heavy losses. Cao Cao led his troops along Huarong Road. When they met with mud, the road was impassable and the wind was strong, he told his soldiers to fill it with grass, but he could ride through it. Soldiers were beaten by men and horses, trapped in the mud, and many people died. Liu Bei and Zhou Yu went hand in hand and chased Cao Cao to Nanjun. I was at war with the army, and when I was hungry, half of the dead were dead. Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren, the southern general, and Huang Xu, the horizontal general, to guard Jiangling, and rushed to Xiangyang with pleasure and led the army back to the north.

Battle of Red Cliffs took place in the 13th year of Jian 'an of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty (208), which was a famous battle in the history of China. It was the victory of Liu Bei and Sun Quan that laid the foundation for the tripartite confrontation among the three countries. This excerpt records the whole process of Battle of Red Cliffs in detail, especially the preparation before the war. While describing the preparations before the war, it did not describe in detail how to dispatch troops. Instead, it focuses on strategic decision-making, the formation of Sun-Liu alliance, and the formulation of decision-making against Cao Jun, which can be seen from the author's historian's point of view, because whether the strategic decision is correct or not is of greater significance to success or failure. This paper uses the way of dialogue to express the process of strategic decision-making through the language of characters, reveals the situation faced by all parties at that time, and also shows the level of strategic vision of each character.
Translation:
At the beginning, Lu Su heard that Liu Biao had died, and said to Sun Quan, "Jingzhou is adjacent to China, with a steep and solid geographical situation, fertile and vast land, a large population and a rich life. If you can take it for yourself, this is the basis for starting an imperial career. Now that Liu Biao has just died, his two sons (Liu Qi and Liu Cong) are at odds. Some military generals support Liu Qi and some support Liu Cong. Liu Bei is a fierce man in the world. He had a grudge against Cao Cao and lived in Liu Biao's house. Liu Biao is jealous of his talent and can't be reused. If Liu Bei and Liu Biao's subordinates work together and are consistent from top to bottom, they should comfort them and form an alliance with them. If they leave Germany, they will make other plans to achieve great things. Please let me be ordered to express my condolences to Liu Biao's two sons, at the same time comfort those in power in the army, and persuade Liu Bei to appease Liu Biao's subordinates and unite as one. Liu Bei will be happy to listen to our opinions when dealing with Cao Cao. If this thing can succeed, the general trend of the world can be decided. If we don't hurry now, I'm afraid Cao Cao will take the lead. " Sun Quan immediately sent Lu Su. (Lu Su) When I arrived at Xiakou, I heard that Cao Cao had set off for Jingzhou. He worked day and night. By the time he arrived in Nanjun, Liu Cong had surrendered to Cao Cao and Liu Bei had retreated to the south. Lu Su went directly to meet Liu Bei in Changbanpo, Dangyang County. Lu Su conveyed Sun Quan's meaning, discussed (with him) the situation of world events, expressed sincere condolences and asked Liu Bei, "Where has Liu Yuzhou gone now?" Liu Bei said, "I have a long history with Wu Ju, the satrap of Cangwu, and I intend to go to him." Lu Su said: "Sun Qiulu is smart and kind, and respects and treats talented people with courtesy. Heroes in the south of the Yangtze River all surrendered to him and attached themselves to him. They occupied six counties, and they were well-armed and well-fed, enough to accomplish great things. Now planning for you, it is better to send cronies to take the initiative to settle Wu Dong and build a great cause with * * *. (But you) are going to Wu Ju, a mediocre man, in a remote county. Can you rely on him? " Liu Bei is very happy. Lu Su said to Zhuge Liang, "I am a friend of Yu Zi." The two immediately became friends (also because of Yu). Yu Zi, Zhuge Liang's younger brother Zhu Gejin, escaped chaos in Jiangdong, which is a history of Sun Quan. Liu Bei adopted Lu Su's strategy and led the troops to Fankou, Hubei County.
Cao Cao was preparing to go down the river from Jiangling, and Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei, "It is very critical. Please let me be ordered to ask General Sun for help. " So I went to see Sun Quan with Lu Su. Zhuge Liang met Sun Quan in Chaisang and advised him, "The world is in chaos. General, you are fighting in Jiangdong, and Hannan of Liu Yuzhou recruits military forces to compete with Cao Cao for the world. Now Cao Cao has put down the chaos, basically stabilized the situation, and broken Jingzhou, which is a great shock to the world. Heroes have nowhere to show their skills, and Liu Yuzhou fled here. I hope the general can evaluate his own strength to deal with this situation! If we can fight against the Central Plains with Jiangdong's troops, we should break up with him as soon as possible. If not, why not lay down your arms, put up your armor and bow down to him! Now the general pretends to be obedient on the surface, but he is hesitant at heart. The situation is critical and he can't make a decision. A catastrophe will happen in a few days! " Sun Quan said, "If that's what you said, why didn't Liu Yuzhou surrender to Cao Cao?" Zhuge Liang said: "Tian Heng is just a strong man of Qi, who can keep his integrity and not be humiliated;" What's more, Liu Yuzhou, a descendant of the Han royal family, is wiser than all his contemporaries, and everyone respects and respects him like water belongs to the sea. If things don't succeed, it's providence, how can we live under it? " Sun Quan said angrily, "I can't give all the land and100000 soldiers in Wu Dong to others for control. I have made up my mind! "Except Liu Yuzhou, no one can resist Cao Cao (with me), but how can Liu Can Yuzhou resist this huge disaster just after losing the battle?" Zhuge Liang said: "Although Liu Yuzhou's army lost in the battle of Changbanpo, there are still 10,000 soldiers who have returned to the team and the elite sailors led by Guan Yu, and 10,000 soldiers who gathered in Jiangxia in Liu Qi. Cao Cao's army was exhausted from far away. It is said that chasing Liu Yuzhou, light cavalry ran more than 300 miles in one day and night. This is the so-called "the arrow of a strong bow is on the string, even the thin silk of Lu can't penetrate", so it is taboo to do so in the art of war, saying that "it will be against the commander-in-chief." Besides, sailors in the north are not used to fighting on water; Also, Jingzhou people joined Cao Cao because they were forced by his force, not from the heart. Now, it must be that the general can really send General Meng to command tens of thousands of troops and plan with Liu Yuzhou to break Cao Cao's army together. When Cao Cao's army was defeated, it was bound to retreat to the north; If so, the forces of Jingzhou and Wu will be strong, and there will be a tripartite confrontation between the three countries. The key to success or failure is today! " Sun Quan was very happy to hear this, so he planned it with his subordinates.
At this time, Cao Cao gave Sun a seal and said, "Recently, I was ordered by the emperor to suppress guilty people. The flag pointed south, and Liu Cong surrendered. Today, he has trained as many as 800,000 water troops and is about to fight the generals in Soochow. " Sun Quan showed this letter to all his subordinates, and no one lost his normal state like hearing a loud noise. Zhang Zhao, a long history, and others said: "Cao Cao is a wolf or a tiger, holding the emperor to make princes and conquering the world as a threat. Now he always resists him under the pretext of the imperial court, and things are even worse." Besides, the main reason why the general resisted Cao Cao was the Yangtze River. Now Cao Cao has Jingzhou, occupying all the territory there. The water army and warships formed by Liu Biao are even counted by thousands of figures. Cao Cao has scattered all these warships along the river, and at the same time infantry and land and water attack together. The dangerous terrain of the Yangtze River has been occupied by us. The size and strength of strength cannot be compared. I think the best plan is to meet him. "Only lu su was silent. Sun Quan went to the toilet while Lu Su chased him under the eaves. Knowing this, Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "What do you have to say? Lu Su said: "Just now, I read everyone's comments. (Yes) I deliberately want to delay the generals, and it is not worth planning great things with them. Now when I meet Cao Cao, Lu Su will definitely send me back to my hometown to evaluate my status. I had to be the lowest-level Cao Li messenger, riding an ox cart, following the officers and men, interacting with the literati officialdom, and then gradually being promoted, still as good as a county. General, what will you get when you meet Cao Cao? I hope you make a big plan as soon as possible, and don't adopt those people's opinions! Sun Quan sighed and said, "I am very disappointed with what these people said. Now you have defined your interests, just as I think. "
At that time, Zhou Yu was ordered to go to Fanyang, and Lu Su advised Sun Quan to call Zhou Yu back. Zhou Yu came back and said to Sun Quan, "Although Cao Cao was nominally the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he was actually a traitor of the Han Dynasty. With extraordinary martial arts and heroic talent, the general also occupied Jiangdong, with thousands of miles of land in Fiona Fang, excellent troops and rich materials. Heroes are all intended to serve the country, so they have to travel all over the world to get rid of cruel and evil people for the Han Dynasty. Besides, Cao Cao came to die by himself. How can he be obedient? Please allow me to plan this for the general. Now the north has not been pacified, and Ma Chao and Han Sui are still west of Hanguguan, which is Cao Cao's future trouble. Cao Cao's army gave up the pommel horse and relied on ships to compete with Wu Dong. It's cold now, and the horses have no forage. Soldiers who control the Central Plains trudge thousands of miles in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are bound to get sick if they are not acclimatized. These are all taboos in fighting, but Cao Cao rashly implemented them. The general should arrest Cao Cao today. I, Zhou Yu, asked to lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Xiakou to ensure that the general would be defeated! " Sun Quan said, "The old thief wants to abolish Han, and he has been an emperor for a long time. He just cares about Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Liu Biao and me. " Now those heroes have been eliminated, and only I still exist. I am at odds with the old thief. You said that we should fight, which suits me very well. God gave you to me. "So he drew his sword, cut down the table with the paper in front of him, and said," Dear officials, if you dare to say goodbye to Cao Cao, it will be like this case! "So the meeting was dissolved.
In the evening, Zhou Yu went to see Sun Quan again and said, "When everyone saw Cao Cao's letter that there were 800,000 marines, they were all afraid. It was very unreasonable to talk about surrender without considering whether it was true or not. According to the actual situation, the Central Plains army led by him is only 150,000 to 60,000, which is already exhausted; Liu Biao's army is 70,000 to 80,000 at most, and they are all half-hearted. It is not to be afraid to control a half-hearted army with tired and sick soldiers, despite the large number. As long as I have 50 thousand soldiers, it will be enough to subdue it. I hope the general will not worry! " Sun Quan stroked Zhou Yu's back and said, "Gong Jin, what you said is just what I want. Zibu, Yuan Biao and others only care about their wives and children, mixed with personal plans, and let me down; Only you and Amethyst agree with me. This is heaven. Please help me! It is difficult to assemble 50 thousand soldiers in a hurry, and 30 thousand people have been chosen. Ships, food and combat equipment have been arranged. You and Amethyst and Cheng Gong go ahead, and I will continue to send troops and pack more materials and food as your backup. If you can deal with Cao Cao, fight him. If the war is unfavorable, come to me again, and I will fight to the death with Meng De. " So Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were appointed as the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief. They led the army to fight against Cao Cao with Liu Bei. Lu Su was appointed commander of Zan Army to help plan the war strategy.
Sun and Liu Lianjun led troops to Chibi to fight with Cao.
At this time, the soldiers in Cao Cao's army had an epidemic. As soon as this war broke out, Cao Cao's army was defeated and (Cao Cao) led the army back to Jiangbei to station. Zhou Yu's army is stationed on the south bank. Huang Gai, a general under Zhou Yu, said: "Now there are many enemies and we are few, so it is difficult to confront them for a long time. Cao Cao's army just connected the warships end to end and could be hit back by gunfire. " So ten warships, large and small, were distributed, filled with dry reeds and dead wood, filled with oil, wrapped in curtains, hung flags on them, prepared light boats and tied to the stern of the warships. Send a letter to Cao Cao first and pretend to surrender. At this time, the southeast wind came in a hurry. Huang Gai put ten warships in the front, hung sails in the river, and the rest of the ships moved forward in turn. The generals and soldiers of Cao Cao's army walked out of the barracks, stood there and watched, pointing to Huang Gai and surrendering. When it was more than two miles away from Cao Cao's army, the fire was lit at the same time. The fire is very strong and the wind is very strong. Ships flew like arrows, burning all Cao Cao's warships and spreading to the barracks on the shore. At the moment, fireworks filled the sky, and many people were burned to death and drowned. Zhou Yu and others followed lightly, beating drums to the sky, and Cao Cao's army completely collapsed. Cao Cao led the troops to flee on foot from Huarong Road. When they came across a muddy road, it was impassable and windy, so he ordered the weak soldiers to fill the road with grass so that the cavalry could pass. Weak soldiers were trampled by cavalry, mired in mud and died in large numbers. Liu Bei and Zhou Yu went hand in hand, pursuing Cao Cao to Nanjun. At this time, Cao Cao's army suffered from hunger and plague, and nearly half of them died. Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren, the general of the Southern Expedition, and Huang Xu, the general of Yokono, to defend Jiangling, break the general into Xiangyang and lead the army back to the north.
