Dream of the Three Kingdoms: Jiangyou Pass

📖This unremarkable city gate is the Jiangyou Pass, which ultimately determined the fate of Shu Han. In 219 AD, Liu Bei set up the "Jiangyou Garrison" in the present-day Nanba Town, Pingwu County to guard against military attacks from Cao Wei. This garrison later became known as "Jiangyou Pass". 🌳In 263 AD, Deng Ai, the Wei general who conquered the west, led 30,000 troops to secretly cross Yinping. His son, Deng Zhong, led 5,000 elite troops to suddenly appear in front of Jiangyou Pass. The defending general, Ma Nai, was so terrified that he surrendered without a fight. Deng Ai's army then went to Fucheng and directly threatened Chengdu. At this time, the main forces of Shu and Wei, Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui, were still confronting each other in front of Jianmen Pass. Deng Shizai secretly crossed Yinping, and Zhuge Zhan died in Mianzhu 🌳When I was young, I read the Three Kingdoms and was so angry that I threw the book away. Now I know that when Jiang Wei, Liao Hua, and Zhang Yi retreated to Jianmen Pass, Jiangyou Pass had already become an isolated city. Zhong Hui sent Tian Zhang to come from the north and first defeated Ma Nai's 3,000 ambush troops outside the pass. 🌳The Fujiang River in the mountains is turbulent and changeable. Fifty years ago, people still had to cross the river by ferry. At this moment, Ma Nai could still gather the defeated soldiers and fight a battle. However, Deng Ai's army traveled 700 li in uninhabited areas, cut through the mountains, and built bridges and pavilions Along the upper reaches of the Fujiang River, they came rolling in from the northwest. The two sides were already in danger. Ma Nai offered the pass because he was unable to turn the tide. However, when the country is in danger, the literati die in remonstrance and the warriors die in battle. If you are entrusted with heavy responsibilities, how can you not fail? 🌳Before Wei attacked Shu, Jiang Wei had submitted a memorial to the emperor to increase troops in Yinping and Yangping to prevent it. However, Liu Chan favored the eunuchs and believed in ghosts and witches. He did not take precautions and the defense system eventually collapsed. 🌳In 263 AD, Liu Chan surrendered to Deng Ai and Shu Han was destroyed. Wei and others were still fighting on the front line, and the soldiers were so angry that they drew their swords and cut the stones. 📖The worry in Mr. Zhuge's "Chushi Biao" about "being close to the villain and far away from the virtuous minister" has become a prophecy. How can we not regret it? It is a regret for thousands of years.
