Not Cao Cao, what was the biggest obstacle when Liu Bei beat Tay Xuyen?

Cao Cao and Liu Bei were two very powerful forces in the Three Kingdoms period, but Cao Cao was not Liu Bei’s biggest obstacle when he wanted to enter Xichuan, the one who made Liu Bei the most difficult in this campaign was Truong Nhiem.

The Xichuan Campaign, or Liu Bei’s capture of Xichuan or Liu Bei’s capture of Yizhou, was a series of military campaigns by the military group led by Liu Bei, in the capture of Xichuan (most of contemporary Yizhou, including including present-day Sichuan and Chongqing), then the area was under the control of warlord Liu Zhang.

In 211, Luu Chuong obeyed Truong Tung’s suggestion to invite Liu Bei to Xichuan to assist against Truong Lu. In fact, the invitation of Luu Bei was just a scheme of Truong Tung, Phap Chinh and Manh Dat to replace their princess Luu Chuong, because the group of people realized that Liu Bei was more ambitious and worthy of service. Liu Chuong.

However, Vuong Luy, Hoang Quyen, Ly Nghiem, and other officials vehemently opposed the invitation of Luu Bei to enter Xuyen, but Luu Chuong ignored their opinions and personally welcomed Liu Bei to join them. I am against Truong Lo.

When Truong Tung’s true intentions were denounced by his own brother, Truong Tuc, to Luu Chuong, he beheaded Truong Tung and launched a war against Liu Bei. Although his general Zhang Ren tried to fight, he was unable to resist Liu Bei’s army. By 214, Liu Bei’s forces had besieged Yizhou’s capital, Chengdu.

Zhang Ren (? – 213) was a general living at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the beginning of the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history, a subordinate of the Crown Prince Ich Chau Liu Zhang. He is also a character in Luo Guanzhong’s novel The Three Kingdoms.

In the novel Three Kingdoms, he is from Thuc District, both healthy and cunning. In the battle to attack Tay Xuyen, the biggest opponent Liu Bei encountered was Truong Nhiem, even Liu Bei’s advisor, Pang Thong, died in the hands of Truong Nhiem, Liu Bei himself was defeated by Truong Nhiem. , was forced to ask Zhuge Liang to send troops to save him.

To capture Truong Nhiem, it can be said that Zhuge Liang had to use the strongest battle, he had to use three of the five generals of the Five Tigers, in addition to Wei Yan, and finally Gia. Cat Luong must use a new scheme to capture Truong Nhiem alive at Kim Nhan bridge.

Although Truong Nhiem was arrested, he did not have any fear, never surrendered, no matter how Zhuge Liang tried to persuade him, Truong Nhiem decided not to give up and said: “Are you willing to worship the two gods?” . Finally, Zhuge Liang ordered him to be cut to preserve his identity.

It can be seen that Truong Nhiem is a talented and powerful person. Both Luu Be, Bang Thong, Hoang Trung, and Truong Phi when they met Truong Nhiem all had to suffer. Unfortunately, Truong Nhiem refused to join the army for Thuc Han, otherwise the Shu Han force would have been much stronger.

The campaign took place from early 212 to 214 and is considered the first phase of the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history. The campaign ended in victory for Liu Bei and took over the districts from Liu Zhang. Ich Chau later became the foundation for the Shu Han dynasty.
