Battle Of Mt Ding Jun (My Version)

Continuing from Shu's victory at both Jing and Yi Province, Liu Bei made an order to take Han Zhong where Mt Ding Jun is located. Upon Shu's arrival to Mt Ding Jun, they saw Cao Cao's famed general Xiahou Yuan protecting Mt Ding Jun. Xiahou Yuan saw the Shu Army closing up Mt Ding Jun and called one of his messengers to send a letter to Cao Cao requesting for reinforcements. Shu camped below the moutain while Zhu Ge Liang asked one of Liu Bei's trusted and most experienced officer to take Mt Tian Dang away from the Wei Army. That officer was none other than Huang Zhong, a veteran warrior that excelled best at archery. Huang Zhong reached Mt Tian Dang and defeated the officer defending it. He took Mt Tian Dang and he realised that he could see everything even Wei's Main Camp. Xiahou Yuan could not stand to see Shu have such an advantage. He decided to face Huang Zhong one on one but Xiahou lost the battle and he retreated. Zhang He lost the battle againest Zhao Yun and he retreated too. Mount Ding Jun had fallen to Shu's hands. Shu had already taken Mount Ding Jun so the Wei Reinforcements retreated back to Xu Chang. Liu Bei, upon having Han Zhong declared himself '' King Of Han Zhong''.

Know About The Three Kingdoms (Part4)

Zhu Ge Liang started another campaign againest Cao Wei, Cao Pi's empire. He failed all his northern expeditions except one which he would gain Jiang Wei, the future strategist for Shu. He finaaly died at his last campagin againest Cao Wei, at The Battle Of Wu Zhang Plains. The long years of battle between Shu and Wei saw many changes in the ruling Cao Family in Wei. The Cao Family gradually grew weaker after Cao Pi's death and his son Cao Rui. Sima Yi then intend to usurp the throne. Sima Yi removed Cao Shuang, the current ruler of Wei with a cunning strategy. After Sima Yi's death, his sons Sima Zhao and Shima Shi continuned to wield the power of Wei in thier hands. Sima Zhao eventually removed Cao Fang and replace him with Cao Mao. Cao Mao tried to assisinate Sima Zhao but failed and was killed. After Sima Zhao's death, his son Sima Yan took his place and eventually overthrowed Cao Wei Empire and created Jin Dynasty. He eventually lead a campagin againest Shu-Han another name for Shu. Liu Chan was an inept ruler who listened to the corrupt enunch Huang Hao. When Jin attack Shu-Han, Liu Chan surrendered without even fighting despite having many troops by his side. Therefore, he ended Shu-Han, Liu Bei's lifelong effort. Jin would eventually conqueror Wu as Sun Quan was dead. His sons were incompetent and Sun Hao, current leader of Wu also surrendered without fighting. The Three Kingdoms Era has therefore ended.

Know About The Three Kingdoms (Part3)

In the northwest, Ma Chao started a campaign againest Cao Cao for assisinating his father Ma Teng, but was defeated by Cao Cao. After Zhou Yu's death, Sun Quan and Liu Bei's relations begin to deteriorated by not to the extend of war. Following Zhu Ge Liang's advice Liu Bei fought fot the control of Yi Province and managed to defeat Liu Zhang, a noble guarding Yi Province. Liu Bei would later fight againest Cao Cao for the control of Han Zhong. He managed to gain Han Zhong and drive out Cao Cao. He then declared himself King Of Han Zhong. Cao Cao was promoted by the Imperial Court from Prime Minister to King Of Wei, while Sun Quan was known as Duke Of Wu. Liu Bei controlled a vast area around Jing Province which served as an strategic point for his creation of his Kingdom Of Shu. Meanwhile, Cao Cao was at war with Sun Quan at The Battle Of He Fei and Ru Xu Kou, Cao Cao scored both victories at these battles. The situation among the three major powers almost reached a stalemate after this, until Cao Cao died. The following year Cao Cao's son Cao Pi forced The Emperor Of Han to abdicate his throne thus bringing an end to the Han Dynasty which has a long history of at least 400 years. After that is the Battle Of Fan Castle where Guan Yu loses and Liu Bei lost Jing Province and his brother Guan Yu. He seeks for revenge at The Battle Of Yi Ling but was crushed by Wu due to strategic mistakes and a fire attack led by Zhu Ran to burn the Shu Main Camp. Despite Liu Bei's massive army, consisting of 750,000 troops, he still could not defeat Wu and Liu Bei soon died at Bai Di Castle the following year, leaving his son Liu Chan to take over the throne but Liu Chan was an inept ruler that would soon bring about the destrution of The Shu Kingdom. Zhu Ge Liang still remained loyal to Shu and led a campaign to the south and was successful in defeating the Nanman Tribes in the south. Part 4 is coming up.

Know About The Three Kingdoms (Part2)

Liu Bei, along with his sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had sworn allegiance to the Han Dynasty (in the famous Oath of the Peach Garden) and pledged to do their best to serve the emperor and the common people. However, their goals and ambitions had not been realized until the later part of the novel. Liu Bei, ever since he had successfully quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was not recognized for his efforts and was made only the magistrate of a small county. Later, Liu Bei joined Gongsun Zan and participated in the war against Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou as a revenge against Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou who unknowingly allowed his subordinate to kill Cao Cao’s father. Liu Bei led his troops from Pingyuan to help Tao Qian and Tao passed on his post as Governor of Xuzhou to Liu Bei before he died. At that same time, Lu Bu was at war with Cao Cao as he also longed to dominate China ever since he had killed Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao and he sought refuge under Liu Bei. Later, Lu Bu repaid Liu Bei’s kindness with evil and seized control of Xuzhou. Liu Bei was forced to join forces with Cao Cao and they defeated Lu Bu. Lu Bu was executed and Liu Bei became officially recognized by Emperor Xian as the Emperor’s Uncle. Liu Bei plotted with some officials to kill Cao Cao as Cao Cao wielded far too much power and had the intention of usurping the throne. Liu Bei failed to kill Cao Cao as the plot was exposed. He seized control of Xuzhou but lost to Cao Cao when Cao Cao led his troops to conquer Xuzhou. Liu Bei got control of Runan with help from some former Yellow Turban rebels but was defeated once again by Cao Cao in battle. Liu Bei had no choice but to move to Jingzhou to seek Liu Biao’s protection. Liu Biao treated Liu Bei with respect and put him in charge of Xinye. At Xinye, Liu Bei recruited the talented military strategist Zhuge Liang personally and slowly built up his forces. The next part is The Battle Of Chi Bi, I have wrote about it already go look at it so I will not bother explaning again.After the great battle at the Red Cliff, Eastern Wu and Liu Bei vied for control of Jingzhou. Zhou Yu led the troops of Eastern Wu to attack Jingzhou and gained a victory, but eventually Jingzhou ended up in Liu Bei’s hands, as Zhuge Liang had advised Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou while Zhou Yu and Cao Cao’s forces were at war. Zhou Yu was extremely unhappy and reported the matter to Sun Quan. Sun Quan dispatched Lu Su to Jingzhou to negotiate with Liu Bei for Jingzhou. Again and again, Liu Bei refused to hand over Jingzhou to Eastern Wu. Sun Quan had no choice but to use new strategies suggested by Zhou Yu to take Jingzhou. One of these was the Beauty Scheme, in which Sun Quan lured Liu Bei to Jiangdong (where he intended to hold Liu Bei hostage in exchange for Jingzhou) by pretending to betroth his younger sister, Lady Sun to Liu Bei. However, Zhuge Liang outwitted Zhou Yu, and Liu Bei returned to Jingzhou safely with his new wife. Zhou Yu tried and failed repeatedly to take Jingzhou. After being infuriated by Zhuge Liang twice, Zhou Yu eventually coughed out blood. The third time, he coughed out even more, and died unconscious. Part 3 is coming up.

Know About The Three Kingdoms (Part1)

It was during the final days of the year 200 AD and the once infalliable Han Dynasty crumbled due to corruption of the eunuchs they decieved the emperor and banished good officials. Thus, the goverment became more and more corrupted, leading to widespread deterioration of the empire. Zhang Jiao, a practioner of Taoist Wizardy was seeking people to revolt againest the decaying Han Empire. In this time of chaos, He Jin, Emperor Ling's brother-in-law and Supreme Commader of the armies in The Imperial Court, sent out a call to the warriors of the land to help quell this fight known as The Yellow Turban Rebellion. The rebellion was quelled and Zhang Jiao was defeated, but later Dong Zhou, a prefect of Liang Province rebelled againest the Han rule and wanted to size the throne for himself but was defeated eventually by the allied forces led by Yuan Shao. In the meantime, the empire was already disintegrating into civil war. Sun Jian found the Imperial Seal in a well after defeating Dong Zhou in Luoyang but he kept the Imperial Seal for his own interests, further weaking the Han Empire. Without a strong central goverment, warlords begin to fight againest each other for land and power. In the north, Yuan Shao was fighting with Gongsun Zan, and at the south, Sun Jian and Liu Biao were at war. Many others such as Liu Bei and Cao Cao were building up power. Meanwhile, in the south, Sun Jian has been utterly crushed by Liu Biao's forces because of an ambush, Leaving his son Sun Ce to carry on his legacy. Sun Ce then delivered the Imperial Seal his father had found to Yuan Shu, in exchange for 3,000 troops. With his base secured at Jiang Dong he continue to expand his power. Sun Ce eventually died in while having a hunting trip when Cao Cao assisinated him. Sun Ce eventually named his brother Sun Quan as his successor as his sons were too young to take over the Wu Empire. Part 2 coming up.

Lu Xun (Part2)

When Liu Bei found out that Jing Province had been taken and Guan Yu has been slain, he immediately led an army of 100,000 to attack Eastern Wu.Lu Xun established several forts and reinforced the existing citadels instead of directly contesting Liu Bei's advance. Although this strategy sacrificed territory, it gained him critical time to organize and transport the Wu troops. The critical points thus established also served to tie down enemy troops and disrupt enemy supply routes.
Few generals were happy with the choice of Lu Xun as supreme commander; many were hardened veterans from the days of Sun Jian, whereas Lu Xun was someone new and something of an unknown (Lü Meng had received most of the credit for the capture of Jing province). They wished to attack Liu Bei while his troops were presumably exhausted from the march. Lu Xun denied them, stating that he discerned that Liu Bei had planned for that, and open battle would be too risky. Liu Bei then sent some forces forward to lure the Wu army into an ambush; the generals wanted to fight, but Lu Xun, predicting an ambush, once again denied them.
After several months of inactivity, Lu Xun suddenly struck, first tricking the Shu commanders with a mock attack on one of their camps, then ordering his troops to move forward with torches and set fire to all the other camps of Liu Bei's army. This was followed by a devastating attack from three sides by all of the Wu forces, and Liu Bei's army was utterly destroyed. Then the officers of Wu henceforth did not criticised Lu Xun, as they knew Lu Xun produced only winning strategies.

Lu Xun

Hi guys, You might be wondering what is on my photo, it is actually a Wu officer named Lu Xun. Let me tell you more about him, Lu Xun actaully served Sun Ce, the ruler of Wu but after that died and passed the running of Wu to Sun Quan. As a military commader, he managed to pacify the south eastern tribes of Yue and brought then within Chinese influence. As a civil officer, he was successful in integrating northern refugees and minorities and economic structure of Wu. In 208 AD, The Sun-Liu alliance defeated the powerful warlord Cao Cao at Chi Bi, halting his southern advance and cemeting Wu's place in the Three Kingdoms. After the battle, Liu Bei had virtually no land for himself, so Sun Quan agreed to lend a part of Jing Province to Liu Bei until he captured the lands of Shu for himself. In 219 AD, Liu Bei has captured Shu, but did not want to return Jing Province back to Sun Quan, instead he sent Guan Yu, his sworn brother to guard Jing away from intruders. An opportunity arrived to Lu Xun when Guan Yu begin his campaign againest Cao Cao's kingdom, Cao Wei. Lu Xun proposed an idea to Sun Quan and it was set out. Lu Xun pretended to take command of L.u Meng's armed forces and sent a flattering letter to Guan Yu, saying that his skills were superior and he wanted to fight with Guan Yu. Guan Yu took the bait and say that he did not fear a young officer and he dropped his guard. Lu Meng and Lu Xun begin a lighting attack and snatched back Jing Province even before Guan Yu knew. Lu Meng then asked families members of Guan Yu's army to write letters to them. After that Guan Yu's army all returned to thier families, deserting Guan Yu. Guan Yu tried to escaped back to Shu, but was captured and executed. I will stop here as this post is very long.

Battle Of He Fei (My Version) (Part2)

Zhang Liao was shocked, if Gan Ning was to lead an ambush to He Fei Castle, the castle will definitely fall as two incompetent officers are guarding it. Just then, Cao Cao's army arrived, bringing along many talented officers within a few bouts, they crushed Gan Ning. Zhang Liao was elated to hear that Cao Cao has come. The Wei Army's morale skyrocketed. Zhang Liao pushed his way to the Wu Main Camp, and found Sun Quan missing. He shouted for Sun Quan's name, but Sun Quan was hiding among some tents hoping to ambush Zhang Liao. Just then most of the Wu Army was crushed, The Wei Army charged Sun Quan's main camp. They spotted him and immediately fought him. Sun Quan suffered major injuries, but just then, reinforcements from Jiang Dong arrived. They rescued Sun Quan and brought him back to Wu. The Wei forces were victorious and Cao Cao praised Zhang Liao for his bravey of only leading 800 calavaries to instill fear in Sun Quan's entire army. Zhang Liao merely replied '' I did what you did at The Battle Of Guan Du thats all'' And with that they returned back to the castle, celebrating thier victory.

Battle Of He Fei (My Version) (Part1)

Back in He Fei Castle, where the Wei Forces were inside. A solider came riding a horse, most likely a spy for Wei, came back reporting somthing unpleasant. '' The Wu Forces are charging towards He Fei and will arrive at any moment!!! Thier troops numbered a few thousands!!!!!!!'' said the solider. Two officers outside were discussing about what to do...... '' The enemey outnumbers us, if we attack death will be inevitable.'' Just then a Wei general comes out of the camp. The genral is none other than the heroic Zhang Liao. He comes out and used his blade swing it around and said. '' A battle is not won by superior numbers, Guan Du! Chi Bi!!, remember them!!! I Zhang Liao will crush all those who oppose me!'' The two officers still wondering what Guan Du and Chi Bi had to do with this. Then they remebered it was using a smaller army to crush a superior army. Zhang Liao asked a messenger to send a letter requesting for reinforcements from Cao Cao in Xu Chang Castle. Back in Xu Chang, '' Humph so.... Sun Quan the young leader of Wu dares to attack me!?!?'' said Cao Cao. ''Send reinforcements to He Fei as soon as possible!!!'' said Cao Cao. Meanwhile, Cao Cao wrote a letter back to Zhang Liao. '' Zhang Liao and Li Dian engage the enemy as they come, the reinforcements will take days to arrive, until then you must hold out.'' Zhang Liao suggests to take down Xiao Shi Bridge, and the strategy was set. Back in Wu main camp, Sun Quan drinking wine with his loyal retainers. '' HAHA!! He Fei will soon be my as its defense is weak!!'' said Sun Quan. '' Move out!!! We shall crush Wei and size He Fei!!!'' Sun Quan lead a total of 100,000 men to attack He Fei. Just after Sun Quan and his army crossed the bridge, Zhang Liao ambushed them destroying Xiao Shi Bridge shouting '' I am Zhang Liao!! The demon of war, come and face me!! And with that, Sun Quan was seperated from his main camp. Sun Quan's army panicked. Some destered thier ranks and fled. Sun Quan was told by one of his officers to jump across the bridge. ''Jump!?!!?! Alright... I have no choice anyway'' said Sun Quan and with that, He jumped across the bridge successfully. Just when Zhang Liao was facing of with Lu Meng another of Sun Quan's officer, Lu Meng exclaimed '' Wei may have Zhang Liao, but Wu has Gan Ning!!!'' Part two coming up!

Battle Of He Fei (Part4)

This battle has taken long enough, time to end it!! Zhu Ge Liang, the Shu-Han prime minster sent an envoy to Wu, requesting Sun Quan to attack Cao Cao as well. Sun Quan agreed and brought 100,000 troops to set up base at Chaohu Port. Sun Quan personally lead an attack on He Fei, while Lu Xun of Wu and his officer Zhu Ge Jin to attack Xiang Yang, Sun Shao and Zhang Cheng to attack Guangling Huaiying. This formed a three pronged attack on Cao Cao's kingdom of Wei. In June 234 AD, Man Chong wanted to lead reinforcements to rescuse Zhang Ying at He Fei, but Tian Yu said that troops in He Fei was enough to resist Sun Quan's attack. After many events taken place, In July, Sun Quan's food began to run low, Cao Rui of Wei personally lead the defense of He Fei himself forcing Zh Ge Ji Of Wu to retreat. Man Chong used fire to destroy Sun Quan engines of war, killing Sun Quan's nephew, Sun Tai in the process. Sun Quan's troops were down with a disease again, and Sun Quan ordered a retreat as Cao Rui's troops were coming soon to attack them. Lu Xun, Zhu Ge Jin, Sun Shao and Zhang Cheng were all retreating from Xiang Yang, Guangling and Huaiying as Sun Quan ordered a retreat. In 253 AD, Zh Ge Ke of Wu refused to listen to any advice and led 20,000 troops to attack the Wei Kingdom. In April, his troops reached Huainan and He Fei. Zhu Ge Ke surrounded He Fei and attacked it. The defending general of He Fei, Zhang Te, used a number of strategies and tactics to forced Zhu Ge Ke into retreat, and He Fei's control was back to Wei at last. The Wu Army was badly defeated and humiliated at The Battle Of He Fei. They lauched another attack at Ru Xu Kou hoping to take revenge upon the humilation Cao Cao had bestowed upon them. That is the end of The Battle Of He Fei. Enjoy!!!!

Battle Of He Fei (Part3)

Sun Quan's troops were in shocked and did not know what to do, Sun Quan quickly ascended to a hill, standing there while holding a spear tightly in his hands, Zhang Liao shouted for Sun Quan's name sereval times, but Sun Quan did not dare to move. When he saw that Zhang Liao had fewer troops, he quickly surrounded Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao managed to fight his way out of the Wu Troops in the encirlement. Some of Zhang Liao's troops were trapped in the encirlement,and shouted ''General Zhang has abandoned us!!'' Hearing that, Zhang Liao rushed back to rescue his trapped soliders. He killed many Wu Troops along the way, Sun Quan's troops were badly defeated by Zhang Liao, none dare to resist Zhang Liao and some of the Wu Army deserted thier ranks and fled. Thus Sun Quan tried to besiege He Fei for sereval days but was still unable to conquer it, some of his troops even got infected by a disease. Sun Quan had no choice but to retreat back to his main camp, but the Xiao Shi Bridge was destroyed, the bridge was linked to Sun Quan's main camp. Zhang Liao saw Wu Troops retreating and decided to surround Sun Quan. The Wu Army was thrown into confusion. Gan Ning led a group of archers to kill those that were surrounding Sun Quan, while Ling Tong, another general of Sun Quan saved Sun Quan. Sun Quan eventually decided to jumped from the Xiao Shi Bridge with his horse, and he eventually succeed. Both Gan Ning and Ling Tong were left behind to fight of the Wei Troops and they suffered major injuries. Later, Sun Quan met up with one of his officers, He Qi, he brought 3000 backup troops and Sun Quan finally was able to retreat to his base, Jiang Dong. In December 233 AD, He Fei was a prosperus city, and Sun Quan decided to attack He Fei again. Man Chong lead 6000 troops laying in wait for Sun Quan to come. And finally they amushed Sun Quan. Sun Quan then sent Quan Chong to attack Liuan but did not succeed. Part 4 coming up! Take your own sweet time and read!!

The Battle Of He Fei (Part 2)

His deputy Jiang Ji advised him to send three generals out of the city with fake letters which mentioned that the reinforcements under Zhang Xi had arrived and Liu Fu would be receiving them. Sun Quan caught two of the generals and read the letters. He thought that the Wei reinforcements had arrived and decided to retreat in failure.In 214, Cao Cao's southern campaign against Sun Quan had ended in failure and he decided to retreat, leaving behind Zhang Liao, Li Dian and Yue Jin to guard Hefei with 7000 men. The next year, Cao Cao sent Xue Ti to deliver a letter to Hefei before he led an army to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. On the envelope, it was written 'Do not open this letter yet, until the enemy has arrived'. At the same time, Sun Quan and Liu Bei retreated from Jingzhou after agreeing to split Jingzhou after conquering it. Sun Quan saw that Cao Cao had just conquered Hanzhong and could not get back to the east in time, so in August, he led an army of about 100,000 men to attack Hefei.
Zhang Liao and his deputies opened the envelope and read the letter, on which this was written 'If Sun Quan has arrived, Zhang Liao and Li Dian will meet the enemy, Yue Jin will stay and guard the city and not engage the enemy.' All three generals were dumbfounded, and Zhang Liao said, 'The lord (Cao Cao) is out at war, by the time his reinforcements arrive, we would have been defeated by the enemy. The lord wishes us to affect the enemy's morale before the actual battle begins, in order to calm the troops. Only then can we defend the city effectively. The crucial battle is about to begin, does anyone have any doubts? ' Li Dian agreed with Zhang Liao and gathered about 800 men overnight, preparing to attack the enemy the next day. At daybreak, Zhang Liao personally led the charge in the Wu formation, killing several dozen enemy soldiers and two generals. The Wu general Chen Wu was killed in battle, and Zhang Liao charged all the way to Sun Quan's main camp. The Wu generals Song Qian and Xu Sheng were unable to resist Zhang Liao's attack and their troops deserted. The Wu general Pan Zhang chased after them and killed two deserting soldiers. The deserting soldiers were shocked and afraid, so they turned back and fought the Wei troops.There is a part three coming out, so stay tuned!

The Battle Of He Fei (Part1)

The Battle Of He Fei took place at the year 208 AD shortly after the Battle Of Chi Bi, Cao Cao's forces were badly defeated, but still had a strong army in Jing Province. In December 208 AD, The Wu Army under Zhou Yu's command invaded Jiang Ling which was under Cao Ren's defense control while Sun Quan, the leader of The Wu Kingdom personally lead an attack on He Fei,which was under Liu Fu's control hoping to create a new war front in the west and north. Sun Quan troops surrounded He Fei and he sent Zhang Zhao to attack Dangtu in Jiujiang, but did not succeed.Cao Cao sent Zhang Xi to rescue the besieged Hefei upon receiving the news. Sun Quan's troops had besieged Hefei till the next year, but were still unable to conquer it. Sun Quan decided to personally lead a light cavalry division to attack the enemy, but senior administration officer Zhang Hong advised him against it, and Sun Quan abandoned his plan. He Fei had been besieged and attack for a few months, and heavy rains keep falling causing the city walls to crumble. Liu Fu had no choice but to use fiber to cover up the cracks in the walls. At night, Liu Fu personally went to survey the enemy, making plans to defend Hefei. Despite having been quite some time, the reinforcements led by Zhang Xi had not reached Hefei, and Liu Fu was at a loss for how to resist the Wu troops

The Battle Of Chi Bi

The Battle Of Chi Bi is splited into three parts, an initial skirmish at Red Cliffs followed by a retreat at the Wulin battlefields on the northwestern banks of the Yangtze River, a decisive naval engagment, and Cao Cao's disastrous defeat at Huarong Road. After the Battle Of Chang Ban, Liu Bei fled to Jiang Ling where the Southern Warlord Sun Quan was. Liu Bei and Sun Quan decided to be allies to stop Cao Cao. Thus, The Sun-Liu Alliance was formed. Cao Cao moved his ships from stem to stern possibly to avoid seasickness among his army as his army were northerners they were not used to living in ships. Huang Gai,a general under Sun Quan pretend to ''defect'' to Cao Cao's forces. Zhou Yu, another of Sun Quan's called upon The Legendary Strategist Zhu Ge Liang to summon the southeastern winds so that Huang Gai can set Cao Cao's fleet on flames. Zhu Ge Liang managed to summon the winds. Huang Gai then set fire to Cao Cao's ships. The winds spread the fire even more. Cao Cao had no choice but to retreat to Huarong Road. Many of Cao Cao's troops were drowned into the waters of Chi Bi or burned in the fire. As Cao Cao was escaping through Huarong Road, The allied forces ambused him serveral times. Gan Ning, one of Sun Quan generals estabilised a bridgehead in Yiling to the North hoping to restore order among his troops. but a staunch rearguard action by Cao Ren prevented further catastrophe. The Sun-Liu Alliance emerged victorious at The Battle Of Chi Bi due to the number if strategies and tactics they used in this battle.

The Battle Of Guan Du (Part 2)

I stopped at the part where Wen Chou was killed. Now let me continue. After Wen Chou's death, Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei to Runan hoping to expose Cao Cao's rear flank. Cao Cao knew his motive and mobilised his forces at Guan Du. At the same time he dispatched Cao Ren and Yu Jin to harrass the enemy's rear. As the battle continued for months, Cao Cao's army began to have limited food supply problems. Cao Cao did not know what to do. Cao Cao employed his calvary to attack Yuan Shao's supply line and burn his grainstores. Yuan Shao was forced to call for reinforcements of food from Chunyu Qiong another general of Yuan Shao. Chuyu Qiong returned with an army of 10,000 from Hebei escorting large amounts of food supplies. Yuan Shao ordered Chunyu Qiong to deliever the supplies to Wu Chao, a base of Yuan Shao. It was 20km from Yuan Shao's main camp. As Wu Chao was far away from Yuan Shao's camp, his advisors asked Yuan Shao to put more troops to guard their food supply, but Yuan Shao did not heed the advice. Xu You defected from Yuan Shao's army to Cao Cao's army. He told Cao Cao about Wu Chao's weakness. Then, Cao Cao led 5000 elite calvary to attack Wu Chao. By night, Cao Cao's army set fire to Wu Chao. Yuan Shao's food supply was hence burned. The tide of the battle shifted to Cao Cao's favour. Zhang He one of Yuan Shao's general insisted on sending reinforcements to reinforce the defense of Wu Chao but Yuan Shao did not listen and decided to attack Cao Cao's main camp. He sent Zhang He and Gao Lan to attack Cao Cao's main camp but they failed and defected to Cao Cao's army. The morale of Yuan Shao troops plummented down and Yuan Shao's 70,000 troops were destroyed. Yuan Shao escaped with only 800 calavries, but soon died after a year at the Battle Of Guan Du. Cao Cao finished off the remenants of Yuan Shao's family and hence became know as The Conqueror Of The Central Plains.

The Battle Of Guan Du (Part 1)

It was the Year 200 AD. Cao Cao And Yuan Shao were childhood friends since young but since the year 196AD, they knew that they had to fight. Yuan Shao, a powerful warlord controlled Northern China, namely the Hebei region and had a large army under his command. However Cao Cao only controlled the capital city Xu Chang. The battle took place at The Yellow River, one of Yuan Shao's powerful general, Yan Liang, crossed the Yellow River to raid Cao Cao's Baima Castle. Cao Cao tricked Yuan Shao into believing that he would attack Yuan Shao' camp on the other side of the river. Yuan Shao quickly retreated his troops from Baima, but Cao Cao's forces struck back eastward to lift the siege of Baima. In the ensuing battle, Yan Liang was killed. Cao Cao decided to abandon Baima Castle. Yuan Shao, took this situation and led 6000 light calvary to set off to pursuit. Cao Cao anticipated this and ordered his troops to lay valuables on the ground as a distraction plan. Yuan Shao troops were greedy and took it. As they were taking it, Cao Cao led 600 elite clavary to crush them.Thus Wen Chou was leading the calavry was killed where else Liu Bei was also leading the calvary but Liu Bei escaped. Yuan Shao lost two powerful general at the start of the campaign. I will stop here for now as this battle is very long. I will write part two later.

Yup, that is Diao Chan. I remember telling you all who she was right? she was previously Dong Zhuo mistress but under the command of her father, Wang Yun, she must sow discord between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo. Eventually, she followed Lu Bu. Enjoy!

More About The Three Sworn Brothers

Let me tell you more about the The Three Sworn Brothers, The one in the center is Liu Bei, The one on your right hand side is called Guan Yu and The one on your left is called Zhang Fei. Liu Bei is a kind man who threats his people well after he established the Shu Han Kingdom, Guan Yu is well-versed in martial arts and was called ''The God Of War'' in Chinese which means Guan Gong. Many people in China stiil worshipped him today! Zhang Fei was actually a butcher but he eventually joined Liu Bei to quell the chaos of the land. All this facts are from ancient China so do not think this is ancient Greek or India. Ok lets continue, Zhang Fei loves wine a lot even though he is strong, his addiction in wine causes him to lose in numerous battles. He was said to possess the strength of 10,ooo men! Impressive right! When Liu Bei was escaping in Chang Ban from Cao Cao, Zhang Fei alone stood at Chang Ban Bridge and shouted ''I Am Zhang Fei Of Yan! Who Dares To Fight Me!'' All of Cao Cao's army froze as fear struck them. It was said that Xia Hou Jie instantly died of fear because of Zhang Fei's shout. Well that is all for now bye!

The three of them swore an oath of brothership they vow to end the chaos and though they are not borned on they same year, same month and the very same day, they three wished to die on the same year, same month and the very same day. The background is The Peach Garden. It is called The Oath In The Peach Garden. Enjoy!

Regarding Pictures and Songs

I will post more pictures but I will not be explaining every single one of them, and I will post more songs on my blog. I know I said this is a music blog but it is so boring only music, so I decided to put pictures, Wikipedia and Youtube.

Guan Yu is riding Red Hare instead of Lu Bu?!?!

Well, its not surprising actually because after Lu Bu went to Chang An, he was advised by his strategist Chen Gong to find a place to stay Lu Bu eventually went to Xu Province where Liu Bei and his two other brothers were staying. Liu Bei welcomed Lu Bu to stay with him because Liu Bei is a kind-hearted man, then after that Liu Bei needed to go somewhere so Lu Bu took this chance to size Xia Pi Castle from Liu Bei. Liu Bei was so angry but he was not strong enough to beat Lu Bu, so he went to seek help from Cao Cao a warlord who recently defeated Yuan Shao and gained control of the Central Plains. Cao Cao agreed and both warlords,Lu Bei and Cao Cao went to wage war upon Lu Bu's betrayal. Guo Jia, Cao Cao strategist suggested flooding Xia Pi Castle, and so they flooded the castle. Lu Bu, learned about this news and his behaviour went erratic, he kept drinking until he was drunk and slept. On the other hand, Lu Bu's officer betrayed Lu Bu and went to join Cao Cao's army. They took Lu Bu's weapon and threw it down the castle walls it was a sign that Lu Bu was vulnerable. Cao Cao sized this opportunity and went to destroy Lu Bu. Cao Cao was victorious, he defeated Lu Bu, and gave Red Hare to Guan Yu. Well, Thats all for now bye.

Red Hare

Yup that is the Red Hare Picture it may look a little low quality as compared to the rest but that is all I can find on google, so enjoy!

More About Lu Bu

Well, there are still some more facts about The Mighty Lu Bu I previously said he served Dong Zhuo, yup after that a beautiful mistress of Dong Zhuo named Diao Chan she was said to be one of the four beauties of China, her father Wang Yun asked her to sow discord between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu did as Diao Chan wanted to as Lu Bu loved Diao Chan eventually Lu Bu slayed Dong Zhuo.Then, after that Dong Zhuo's officers went to take revenge upon Lu Bu, As Lu Bu was outnumbered, he and Diao Chan fled off from the Capital of Loyang and went to Chang An. Lu Bu's horse, the Red Hare was said to be able to run 1000 miles a day! Impresive right? There is an old saying goes ''Among men Lu Bu among horses Red Hare''. People will watch in awe when Lu Bu rides with Red Hare to battle. Well thats all for today bye!

Lu Bu Picture

Yup, I added the Lu Bu picture you should know who he is I mentioned it in my previous post so enjoy the picture and songs!

Lu Bu Vs Honda Tadakatsu Picture

Hi, You might wonder that what is that new picture about I mean you see Honda Tadakatsu but who is the guy beside him? He is called The Mighty Lu Bu. He was China's Greatest Warrior during the Era Of The Three Kingdoms. His might was unrivalled but was an equal to Honda Tadakatsu let me tell you more about Lu Bu. He served Ding Yuan, his adopted father later cutting him down for other reasons the he went to serve Dong Zhuo a tyrant who plan to take the Han Empire for himself.At the Battle Of Hu Lao Gate the massive allied forces led by Yuan Shao went to stop Dong Zhuo of his tyranny but Lu Bu appeared at Hu Lao Gate causing the allide forces to falter then three sworn brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stepped out to battle Lu Bu. Obviously, Lu Bu lost it was a three againest one but Lu Bu's strength was still unparrelled throughout the three kingdoms, so both Honda Tadakatsu And Lu Bu fought to decide who is better in the game Warriors Orochi.Enjoy!
