historical background
The ancient battlefield of Chibi in the Three Kingdoms is the site of the battle of Chibi in that year. It was founded in the 13th year of Jian'an (208 A.D.)
Cao Cao led 260000 troops to the south, conquering several cities of Xinye and Xiangyang. They went down from Jiangling to the east of the Yangtze River and fought with the 50000 allied forces of Sun Quan and Liu Bei in Chibi. After the defeat, Cao Cao retreated to the north of the river and stationed troops in Wulin (now Wulin commune of Honghu county) to hold a stalemate with the Allied forces of Sun Quan and Liu Bei across the river.
Later, Zhou Yu used Huang Gai's suggestion to attack Cao's army with fire attack. At that time, the southeast wind was blowing fast, and the fireboat rushed to Cao's camp with the help of the wind. For a moment, Cao's camp was in a sea of fire, and Cao's army was defeated. Sun and Liu's allied forces took the opportunity to attack. Cao Cao led the rest of his troops to Jiangling via Huarong Road (now the northwest of the county), thus laying the foundation for the division of Wei, Shu and Wu Therefore, this battle has become a famous classic battle in Chinese history and left a brilliant record in ancient Chinese war history.
Operational strategy
Bitter meat stratagem / Anti Japanese stratagem: after a long journey, Cao Jun's body was tired, and his soldiers had already suffered from disease. In Chibi, he fought with Jiangdong soldiers and suffered setbacks. Therefore, Cao Cao moved the whole army to the north of the river to facilitate advance and retreat. He and Jiang Dongbing were separated by the river between Wulin and Chibi. As a result of the long-term stalemate, sun Liu's joint military department put forward Huang Gai's "fire attack" operational plan. Huang Gai came forward and wrote to Cao Gong, saying that he wanted to feign surrender. Because of a series of previous victories, Cao Cao regarded Zhou Yu and Huang Gai's Conspiracy as Liu Cong and Kuai Yue's surrender to Jingzhou, which seriously affected the ideas of counselor and military adviser Xun you. Most generals had no doubt that they were happy to see Huang Gai's descent from the water.
Lianhuanji / huoshao company: on November 13, 208, the 13th year of Jian'an, huanggai took ten warships full of dried grass and firewood, filled with oil, and sailed on the river in a strong southeast wind. The warships speeded up and headed for the north bank. Both Cao Gong and officials went out to watch Huang Gai's coming. Only Cheng Yu, a counselor, found that the ship was light and floating in the Dongfeng emergency. He decided that it was not a grain carrying ship, and worried that there would be an accident, so he asked Cao Gong to pay attention to the deception of the enemy. But it was too late. The ship was only two li away from the north bank. The warship under the command of Huang Gai ignited fire at the same time. In the strong wind, the ship drove like an arrow, hitting Cao Jun's water stronghold. The fire broke out in the water village. The ship was chained and couldn't be opened. The fire danced with the wind, and the barracks on the bank were all on fire. The flames were raging into the sky, and Cao Jun was trapped in a sea of fire. On the south bank, Sun Jun waved the flag and cheered.
Battle in Wulin: Cao Jun's water stronghold and barracks on the North Bank of the river were suddenly attacked by fireboats, causing a burst of chaos. Sun's army on the south bank also sent more troops across the river to take part in the fighting and expand the results. There was a fierce battle between the two sides in the flames. Cao General Zhang Liao's excellent troops repulsed Huang Gai's attack. Xu Huang was also able to calm down in chaos and fight as a whole army. However, at this time, Liu Bei's Yuzhou army and his generals Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun led their troops to launch a fierce attack on Cao's army, and Liu Bei also took the initiative to command the battle. Cao's army suffered heavy losses and withdrew from Wulin and turned to Huarong Road before sun and Liu joined forces.
Huarong Ambush: after Cao Cao led the remnant into Huarong Road, he encountered heavy rain, strong wind, mud, blockage, and the road was impassable. Send the soldiers to fill the pavements with grass before they can ride through. The soldiers of Lei were trampled by men and horses, and the dead were everywhere. Liu Jun missed the best attack in ambush. Cao Cao's troops are out of danger. When Cao Cao withdrew to Jiangling, he said with a lingering fear, "Liu Bei, my husband and wife, but I got the plan (preparation and operation) later and set fire to the emissary earlier. I have no class (all eliminated) Although Cao Cao's army was not completely annihilated, most of it was lost when it entered the south. At this time, it was no longer able to unify the north and the south, thus ending the battle of Chibi between Cao sun and Liu.
Postwar influence
After the battle of Chibi, the confrontation of Wei, Shu and Wu appeared, that is, the period of Three Kingdoms in history. Cao Cao's absolute superior force (about 260000) against sun Liu's absolute inferior force (40000-50000), but suffered heavy losses. In the course of the battle of Chibi, there were political, military, diplomatic and other forms of struggle. Therefore, the battle of Chibi has become one of the most famous battles in Chinese history, attracting the attention of Chinese and foreign people.
Strategists say: to win more with less, to win the strong with the weak, will count the battle of Chibi.

Foreigners believe that only in Chibi can we appreciate the mystery of Oriental culture.
