How to evaluate Battle of Red Cliffs's action of intercepting Yuan Shu with Liu Bei?

10,000 people in the Central Plains died in hundreds of battles, leaving a lasting legacy.

Considering that Chen Shou has always been talkative, Mr. Fei has to take charge of the city.

During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were five famous figures in Cao Cao Group-Zhang Liao, Lejin, Yu Jin, Zhang He and Huang Xu, who were called "five sons and good generals". Chen Shou put them together when he wrote the Three Kingdoms. In fact, under the biographies of these five people, there is also a biography of a character, that is, Zhu Ling, who was evaluated as a "famous emperor". Although there are relatively few biographies written by Chen Shou for Zhu, there are still many biographies, so his historical image is relatively complete. And Zhu Ling also has a' golden partner' in historical materials-Zhao Lu, who often carries out some military operations with Zhu Ling. Unfortunately, there is no biography or Pei note, and there is very little information. The following small series will talk about the character Zhao Lu and what military activities he participated in.

Intercept Yuan Shu with Liu Bei and Zhu Ling.

The road trick discovered by Bian Xiao first appeared in the fourth year of Jian 'an (AD 199). The last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty were basically turbulent, especially in the fourth year of Jian 'an. Yuan Shao finally destroyed Gongsun Zan to ensure that Hebei would not be a big threat; Cao Cao took the initiative to fight when Yuan Shao had not destroyed Gongsun Zan, and defeated Zhu Gulai, who was inclined to Yuan Shao, and was regarded as the "Battle of Guandu". Liu Bei is in Cao Cao's camp, but he has accepted the secret edict of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty with Dong Cheng and others (although' Dai Yizhao' is somewhat controversial, Bian Xiao still follows the historical view); Two years after calling himself "Zhong Jia", Yuan Shu also came to the end of the road. It can be said that a series of events in the four years of Jian 'an had a great influence on the changes of the situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shu has no right to compete for the identity of the son of heaven, and his personal interests cannot be guaranteed. He can also fight for the interests of the family. Yuan Shu thought of his old rival Yuan Shao. Everyone is from Runan. Although there are some festivals, Yuan Shao can tolerate Yuan Shu based on blood relationship. So Yuan Shu planned to give Yuan Shao the name of the son of heaven and go north to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu was in Huainan, Yuan Shao was in Hebei, and Cao Cao had already controlled Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yuzhou, just between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. War is imminent. Of course, Cao couldn't let Yuan Shu join forces with Yuan Shao successfully in Hebei to strengthen Yuan Shao's strength. So Cao Cao ordered Liu Bei's commanders Zhu Ling and Zhao Lu to intercept Yuan Shu.

It can be seen from this incident that Cao Cao's vigilance against Liu Bei is not very high, and Liu Bei did not' live up to' Cao Cao's trust. He stationed troops in Xiapi, ordered Zhu Ling and Zhao Lu to go back, and then killed Che Zhou, the Xuzhou secretariat of Cao Cao, and got rid of Cao Cao's control. In order to ensure that there was no unrest in Xuzhou, Cao Cao had to take the risk of sending troops to defeat Liu Bei again, so Liu Bei went to Yuan Shao. Zhu Ling and Zhao Lu may have the task of supervising Liu Bei here, but they were bound by Liu Bei and failed to realize Liu Bei's ambition, which led to a small turning point before the Battle of Guandu.

Take part in "Battle of Red Cliffs".

In the 13th year of Jian 'an (AD 208), Cao Cao completely solved Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and Yuan, three' brothers', went on an expedition to Youzhou to eliminate Wuhuan in three counties, and began to attack Jingzhou and Yangzhou on a large scale (Yangzhou was probably because Jingzhou was so successful). This is the background of Battle of Red Cliffs. Battle of Red Cliffs' can be said to be a collective appearance of the' All-Star Team' in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty. In this movement, Zhao Lu also took part. At that time, Zhao Yan, as commander in chief, led seven armies, namely Yu Jin, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Zhu Ling, Li Dian, Zhao Lou and jie feng.

Most of them are well-known figures, including' five sons and good generals', and they also have certain achievements and status in Cao Cao Group. Yu Jin was the team left by Bao Xin, who was from the general at that time; Zhang Liao defeated Wu Huan in the Battle of White Wolf Mountain, when he was a general. Zhu Ling was Yuan Shao's aid to Cao Cao. Later, he left Yuan Shao and joined Cao Cao. He has his own army. He's just a shareholder. Compared with his younger brother, Zhang He was born as a general. Li Dian, including Li Dian, was regarded as a veteran of Cao Cao Group from his father Li Gan, and he also invested in shares with capital. At that time, he was a general who broke Lu. As for Feng Jie, the records in historical materials are even more scarce, and they are basically passed over. Of these seven people, four are miscellaneous generals, and the other three include Zhao Lu, because the historical materials are not detailed. So it can be inferred that Zhao Lu's identity at that time should also be a general of a miscellaneous army, and his status is still ok, at least he has the power to lead the army alone.
