However, there is a great deal of surprise about the Battle of Chibi in history, and it can be said that the difference between the two is very large.First of all, the first point is the strategy of the serial ship, as we all know, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the phoenix and the young Pang Tong, deceived Cao Cao, and proposed to Cao Cao to connect the warships together, and give the naval warship chain strategy.In this way, the entire warship, front and back, left and right, is closely linked.The soldiers of the north, walking on the boat, will no longer be so bumpy.It's like walking on flat ground, as long as you get a little familiar, you won't feel seasick anymore.Some people may say that when they take a boat for the first time, they will not feel seasick.It's just that you don't experience the real flow of water on the sea or river, and when the boat is moving at full speed, the whole body will shake from side to side with the turbulence of the current rush.That feeling can cause a feeling of dizziness in the long run, and we usually go out to play and go to the beach to take a boat, and most of them sit in the hull of the boat.But in this Han Dynasty, all people can only stand in the boat, and the force of the turbulence is far greater than sitting in the boat.In addition, Zhao Yu himself has taken a boat many times in modern times, and there are also seasick people in the whole ship.Proportionally, in every boat, there will be one or two seasick people.And the number of people on the entire cruise ship is less than 100 people, which does not seem to be a lot.But if this ratio is allowed to be among the hundreds of thousands of troops of the ancient Cao army, that proportion is very huge.Therefore, on top of this huge number, Cao Jun has a headache.And at that critical moment, a person came and offered Cao Cao a clever plan, that is, a serial plan.This person is the phoenix chick Pang Tong who has the same reputation as that Wolong Zhuge Liang, you must know that Pang Tong was a celebrity at that time, no matter his reputation or prestige, he was very high in the world.For this kind of celebrity, generally speaking, the last sentence has a very high value, and it can even be said to be very trustworthy, and generally does not have any attachment to it at all.Therefore, when Pang Tong appeared, Cao Jun was very happy.When Pang Tong arrived, he had not yet offered a series of plans by Cao Jun, that is, to lock all the warships together with iron to form a mobile castle on the water.Not to mention the possibility of this situation, but after imagining it, Cao Jun felt very remarkable.At that moment, Cao Cao ordered people to build many iron chains to bind all the warships together.When everything was done, those seasick soldiers walked on the boat, it was really much better, and it can even be said that there was no seasickness feeling.Cao Cao can be said to be very grateful to Pang Tong, but Pang Tong at this time is very calm, from this point of view, Pang De's heart is also a little inflated.You must know that Pang Tong is very unpopular in Wu State, and even in the face of the repeated recommendations of many important ministers of Wu State, Sun Quan also ignored him, and even humiliated Pang Tong.Even so, in the face of Sun Quan's contempt, Pang Tong also joined forces with Zhou Yu and others, pretending to go to Cao Cao to offer a plan for a chain of ships.Afterwards, Pang Tong took refuge in Liu Bei, it can be said that if Pang Tong was willing to assist Cao Cao at that time, then perhaps the Battle of Chibi would rewrite history.Even if Cao Cao's navy did have a problem at that time, it would not be so defeated, at least it would be able to retreat with its whole body and reduce casualties and losses.And with Pang Tong's ability and talent, if he defected to Cao Cao, then Liu Bei would not be able to enter Yizhou again.After Cao Cao took Hanzhong, with the help of Pang Tong, he could directly wave his army into Yizhou.When the time comes, it can be said that it will be easy to dominate the world, but what Cao Cao didn't expect was that Pang Tong hated himself so much.Sun Quan can't look down on the talent, Cao Cao wants it wholeheartedly, but Pang Tong turned his head to Liu Bei, I don't know if this matter will be a blow to Cao Cao.Of course, this is just the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if it is changed to history, the whole thing is not like this.Cao Cao has always controlled the power in the north, and it can be said that he has never been in contact with the water war in the south, and he does not know the method of water war at all.Although Cao Cao had the naval forces of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, the naval armies of Qingzhou and Xuzhou were not the main combat force of Cao's army at all.The Cao army has always been galloping in the north, and the invincible elite cavalry is the main force of the army, followed by the Yellow Turban Army that was recruited before, that is, the Qingzhou soldiers are second.As for the navy, it has always played the role of reception, transportation, and supply, and has not participated in any war.The Jingzhou and Dongwu areas are different, where the rivers converge, the war horses cannot gallop, and the battle mainly depends on the warship.Cao Cao didn't understand water warfare, and he didn't know the taboo of water warfare, it seems that not only Cao Cao, but even the generals in Cao Cao's army, none of them could be good at water warfare.Even if someone knows about it occasionally, it is only a little bit of knowledge from ancient wars, and there is no substantive war and tempering at all.At that time, the general who led the Qingzhou and Xuzhou naval armies was Zang Ba, and Zang Ba alone led the soldiers and horses of the two state cities, which shows Cao Cao's trust in him.The reason why Cao Cao trusted Zang Ba so much is also an important reason, and it is also this reason that Cao Cao was able to hand over the soldiers and horses of the two states and counties to Zang Ba with confidence.At that time, the reason why Cao Cao started was not recruited soldiers and horses, but mainly relied on the remnants of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.Cao Cao did not kill these Qingzhou Yellow Turban remnants, which made these people grateful to Cao Cao and willing to serve Cao Cao.However, these people were born as robbers, and although they had been fighting with Cao Cao for many years, they were still in a relatively independent state.It can be said that Cao Cao does not have complete trust in this army of soldiers and horses, but Cao Cao needs these people, and Cao Cao has certain means to win people's hearts.In addition, none of Cao Cao's main generals were born in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, which formed a huge contrast with the composition of Cao's army.Cao Cao's headquarters pro-army, and the proportion of these external soldiers and horses, is really different.And there are no trusted generals, and there are no suitable generals who can lead these people, until one person appears, and that is Zang Ba.Zang Ba was under his command earlier, all of whom were Qingzhou and Xuzhou adults, and most of them were the remnants of the Yellow Turban.When Cao Cao was co-opting the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, Zang Ba was also co-opting the Xuzhou Yellow Turban soldiers, which can be said to be very coincidental.Especially mentioned in the historical sites, the Yellow Turban Rebellion started, Zang Ba broke it from Tao Qian, worshiped the captain, and then collected troops in Xuzhou Yellow Turban soldiers.This is the same situation as Cao Cao, since the two armies are originally of the same origin, so Zang Ba is the best candidate.And Cao Cao didn't look at the wrong person, it was the most correct to choose Zang Ba, on the one hand, Cao Cao certainly wanted to borrow Zang Ba's prestige and strength.On the other hand, Zang Ba himself is very loyal to Cao Cao and is also very low-key.So much so that after Cao Cao's death, Cao Wei's attitude towards Zang Ba was still to favor his title and gradually seize his actual power.The use of pure means is completely gentle.In addition, it can be seen from the fact that after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, and then promoted to the position of emperor, and the seals given to the generals.Although in terms of official positions, Zang Ba is not at the top, but judging from the number of food towns of these major generals, Zang Ba is really too far ahead, too high.The first place is Cao Ren, with 3,500 households, Zhang He is 3,300 households, and the third place is Zang Ba, with 3,000 households.You must know that Zhang Liao, the head of the five good generals, has only 2,600 households, Xu Huang has 2,900 households, and Xiahoudun and Cao Xiu only have 2,500 households.There are only three people who can reach 3,000 households, Cao Ren, Zhang He and Zang Ba, which is definitely a special identity.In addition to the Qingzhou and Xuzhou naval armies, which have not experienced major wars, so their combat power is not strong, for Cao Cao's army, another fatal point is seasickness.It was because of seasickness that the fuse that led to the defeat of Cao's army this time, and of course there was another important fatal point, that is, the plague.It can be said that the reason why Cao Cao lost to the Shu-Wu alliance at that time was somewhat because of Cao Jun's own reasons.At that time, the spread of the plague among Cao's army, coupled with the fact that the soldiers were not accustomed to the water and soil, seasickness, vomiting, sickness, and even death on the boat, Cao Cao was very anxious.Later, after Cao Cao returned from inspecting the naval warships, he suddenly had an inspiration the moment he stepped on land.At that time, Cao Cao found so many iron chains and locks, which tightly tied all the warships together, making the warships as stable as land.It can be said that the warship with a chain of iron cables is simply a clever plan that Cao Cao came up with by himself.Although afterwards, because of this incident, Cao Jun suffered a fiasco, but I have to say that it was indeed a good note that Cao Cao was able to think of this method at that time.Cao Cao has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and when he thought of this chain of ships, it was also because of the chain of horses.But it was this good idea that gave Zhou Yu and Huang Gai the opportunity to attack, and with the defeat of Cao's army in the Battle of Chibi afterwards, everyone in later generations knew that serial warships were a taboo for the navy.If it weren't for Cao Cao's defeat in the Battle of Chibi, on the other hand, Cao Cao's serial warships would defeat Shu Wu, then I am afraid that the naval serial warships would go down in history, and how could they be more famous than the serial horses.Moreover, after Cao Cao's serial ship was hit by the Huanggai Fire Attacker, it did ignite the fire.However, with Huang Gai's fireship, it is really an exaggeration to want to burn Cao Cao's thousands of big ships.At that time, Cao Cao saw that the soldiers had no intention of fighting, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan's armies had rushed to kill, and the soldiers had long lost the heart to fight.At that time, Cao Cao knew that he had been defeated this time, and in the face of the pursuit of Sun Quan's army, Cao Cao could only retreat.However, Cao Cao is not a fool, if he retreats like this, then these warships will be cheaper for nothing.Therefore, before Cao Cao retreated, he ordered his soldiers to burn all the warships.There must not be one left for Sun Quan, so after Huang Gai started a fire, Cao Cao added another fire, so that the entire fire spread among the red cliffs
