store.steampowered.com/app/12...
In the previous videos of our animated historical documentary series on history of China and the Three Kingdoms period, we have covered the rise of Cao Cao and Sun Ce. The latter passed away and was replaced by his brother Sun Qian. Another powerful realm was being built by Liu Biao and his son Liu Qi supported by Lui Bei and eventually these three emerging kingdoms clashed in 208 during the famous campaign of the Red Cliffs and the battle of Jiangling.

"I'd rather betray the world, than let the world betray me" ~ Cao cao

[@barbiquearea]

Justin Bryan Technically what he said was "I would rather bettay men then let men betray me." The world bit is apocryphal.

[@userZndxpoisson]

Actually maybe Cao Cao didn’t say this well-known sayings😂, this is from “Romance of the three kingdoms” , written by Luo Guanzhong in Ming dynasty, where Liu Bei (and Shu)is honored as the only true suitable candidate of the emperor. Luo written this mainly to show how cruel and greedy Cao is. But in “The history of the three kingdoms” written by Chen Shou, we cannot find it.

[@archvermin]

4:56 Cao Cao achieved a swift victory against Wuhuan, but prior to his campaign many of his court believed it too risky and actually advised against it. In fact, Cao had an extremely perilous journey on the way back. His armies underestimated the harshness of the northern environment, and experienced shortage of food and water - forcing them to kill many warhorses for sustenance. Afterwards, Cao ordered for a list of all the people that disapproved his Wuhuan campaign - and rewarded them handsomely. He edicted: "My conquest of Wuhuan was wrought with dangers and only succeeded thanks to fortune and favour from the heavens. But one should not default his (military) operations to luck, and your counsels should be the rock of my design. So now I reward you, and ask that you should never hold your tongue" Whatever you may think of Cao Cao, this was a good display of leadership and grace.

[@AxleTrade]

Cao Cao knew that his power and influence rested on those who supported him and regardless of how selfish and greedy he could be, he knew to treat his own men well in the end. One of the reasons why he's the most popular among Liu Bei and Sun Jian.

The Battle of Red Cliff is a prime example of how ingenious tactics can result in a brilliant victory out of an outnumbered situation. The intrigue games plotted by all three camps involved to outwit one another prior to the battle, the dramatic twists and turns during the course of battle, as well as the impacts and developments after the battle, are so fascinating as to have triggered much discussion and study

[@barbiquearea]

Arslan Tariq Fun fact. Later on Wu would pull off another fire attack during Liu Bei's campaign in Jing with the Battle of Xiaoting. This time however it happened in a wooded area which the Shu army was camped out. The burning of their camp brought a crushing defeat to Shu and ended their campaign in Jing.

[@thomasbrady3827]

[@TribuneAquila]

Although not necessarily a grand strategic victory on the scale of something like cannae, red cliff, or Marengo, I like the battle of sekigahara because of its intrigue and tug of war of feelings, it’s like it has its own grand drama going on while a great final battle occurs in the background. Also many of Caesar’s victories are pure strategic brilliance.

Cao Cao had an advisor named Guo Jia who died by sickness during Cao Cao's campaign against Yuan family. Cao Cao even says "if only Guo Jia is still alive.." after his defeat at Red Cliff.

I love this series as well, but it is by far the series with most errors. There are already so many errors on this video in the first two minutes, where the emperor's portrait is on Chang An, when at that time, Cao Cao already moved him to Xuchang. Also, Liu Zhang's province had absolutely no jurisdiction or control over the southern part of Chengdu, whereas in the video, it has the border stretched all the way to Jianning. Even during Liu Shan's era, Shu Han had very limited control of the southern area. Also, Shangyong was NEVER in control of Liu Zhang, ever. I honestly feel like they dropped this series because they knew that they were making too many errors.

[@user-xb9yv2ci4c]

Why do you think did the soldiers fight for their lords? Because they liked them? To defend their homeland? To earn money and spoil? Or were they forced?

[@heavenwatcher100]

@@user-xb9yv2ci4c It depends. Early generals of Cao Cao either come from his relatives(Cao clan and Xiahou clan) or prisoner of wars who became convinced that Cao Cao could lead to the unity of China. Sun Wu's generals and advisors were mainly local nobles or friends of the Sun family who wished to protect their own interest in southeastern China. Liu Bei however, received many prominent generals and advisors through personal charisma. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were his sword brothers. Advisors like Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and even a defector like Zhang Song were moved by his ambition to reunite China under the banner of Han and his moral compared to other more powerful warlords.

[@user-bk9tl3pt5c]

0000000 0000000 Many reasons, but money and food are foundation to an army. During the yellow turbans rebellion, rich family can easily have a small army, like Caocao’s army built by his rich family, Liubei’s first army built by Zhangfei sold his peach orchard and business to support. Most soldiers fight because they got food in army, and many were forced by “serving duty”, and some people fight for glory who became heroes if they survived in battle.

There is a little mistake. Chang'an is closer to Luoyang, but the Chang'an location marked in the map is too western, almost to Chen Chang, the capital of Yongzhou. And，Fankou is the northern part of Jiangxia County. On the left side of the Yangtze River in the Han River, Jiang Xia is the base camp of Liu Qi, and the Battle of Red cliffs takes place in Baqiu, the southern part of Jiangxia, instead of entering the Yangtze River estuary.

lol who doesn't? I hope you had fun!

[@rwikdutta3618]

A great video! Though there are some errors I'd like to point out. After the Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhou Yu travelled along the Yangtze and camped on the southern bank opposite of Jiangling (on the northern bank). He had to order Gan Nin to capture Yiling (to the west of Jiangling) to serve as a bridgehead from where Zhou Yu could cross the river and surround Jiangling. Also Guan Yu didn't capture Xiangyang but was soundly defeated and forced to withdraw to Xiakou (at the junction of the Han and Yangtze rivers, probably the site of the Battle of Red Cliffs). About the map, Sun Quan kind of never controlled Shouchun and it was firmly under Cao Cao's hands after the defeat of Yuan Shu. Sun Quan controlled only a handful of cities north of the Yangtze River at that time. Shouchun on the other hand was located on the Huai River. Moreover, the location of Xiakou was at the junction of the Yangtze and the Han Rivers and it was likely the location of the Battle of Red Cliffs. Yours is an amazing video nonetheless. I was just giving some constructive criticism. Keep up the good work!!

There are many similarities between European history and East Asian history. E.g: During the ancient Greek period, China was the Eastern Zhou Dynasty; During the ancient Greek period, there were many philosophers, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Thales, Heraclitus, and Archimedes. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were also many philosophers, Laozi, Confucius, Mencius, and Zhuangzi. Han Feizi, Xunzi, Mozi, Shangyang, Guan Zhong. Ancient Greece was occupied by Alexandria and established the Macedonian Empire; the feudal state of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed and unified by Emperor Qin Shihuang, and the Qin Empire was established. The Macedonian Empire and the Qin Empire are very short. After the demise of the Macedonian Empire, the Roman Empire appeared in Europe. Similarly, after the fall of the Qin Empire, the Han Empire appeared in China. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Europe was invaded by barbarians in the 4th and 5th centuries; similarly, after the Han Empire collapsed, it experienced the Three Kingdoms Civil War and was invaded by barbarians in the 4th century.

Cao Cao ws the best candidate to unite the 3K, all Red Cliff did was delay the inevitable unification of China under an ambitious figure who had the will and thrust to do the job. Looking at how poorly the Sima clan fared after they took over China and how the north was invaded by northern steppe people after Jin's internal wars it might be best had Cao Cao simply united China, at least then it will be under competent leadership.

In actual records there are some contradictions, but most sources credit Liu Bei as much as Zhou Yu as leading the fight, and Cao Cao actually addresses his sneer toward Liu Bei while on the run (yes, this 'sneer' is not just from the novels, and it is actually recorded in the texts -- although the novelized version is heavily exaggerated). . So Liu Bei, did fight as a part of the alliance as hard as anyone else. Modern estimates put the allied forces at around 50 thousand men, among which 20 thousand was Liu Bei's. Of the 30-thousand-strong Sun army, 20 thousand was commanded by Zhou You and Cheng Pu, and Sun Quan held 10 thousand as reserves.

Liu Bei took only a limited part in the Battle of Red Cliffs and next to none at Jiangling. While Zhou Yu led the forces along the Yangtze to strike at Jiangling, Liu Bei marched south to capture Changsha, Guiyang, Lingling and Wuling. Guan Yu who led a force to cut off Jiangling by capturing Xiangyang (to the north of Jiangling) was soundly defeated and had to retreat.

@@rwikdutta3618 Like said, sources are actually contradictory. But the number of sources that say Liu Bei was an active combatant, outnumbers the one source that says otherwise. . That's the position this episode of Kings and Generals took as well, it seems.

[@otsa120]

@@kweassa6204 Which source you mean? Most historical sources I know of credit Zhou Yu mostly.

[@hoalyng8937]

Cao Cao addressed his sneer toward Zhou Yu too :))) But well, its hard to believe his words ;)

Great series. Keep up the good work. :>)

This might be the only historical battle YT channel where the narrator actually tries to pronounce the names right. That extra effort goes a long way. Great job!

[@KHK001]

Great! More three kingdoms wars.

[@loszhor]

Another good vid!

[@BiasedGuy123]

You should do a video on the Sima family and how they eventually toppled Wei and made the ill-fated Jin.

[@cyrilchui2811]

Good work

[@clintwhitney16]

Continue the series plz.

[@cursedex3755]

Truly a top 10 anime betrayals...

[@isaacj2914]

If any ones interested. There's a 4 hours (2 parts) film about this battle called Redcliffe that was aired in China. The Western film was cut to 3 hrs.

Fun fact: Sun Quan's new officer Gan Ning was the one who killed Huang Zu at Jiang Xia in 208. He did so because of how poorly Huang Zu treated him. Refusing to give Gan Ning credit for their battles against Sun Quan prior including the death of Sun Quan's general Ling Cao which caused the rivalry between him and Ling Cao's son Ling Tong in the years that followed. Huang Zu's poor treatment of Gan Ning was due to his dislike of pirates. Gan Ning was a renowned pirate before serving Liu Biao along side Sun Quan's most trusted general Zhou Tai. As a result, Gan Ning defected to Sun Quan's army and personally led his forces against Huang Zu and personally killing his former commander as revenge for the ill treatment. In truth, Gan Ning was well educated on top of his ability as both a warrior and general and a well accomplished sailor. Gan Ning would serve the Wu Dynasty, participating in many battles including the Battle of Chi Bi (Battle of Red Cliffs) until his death at the Battle of Yi Ling in 220 AD when he was shot in the head by Shu General Sha Moke. Fellow former pirate and fellow Wu Officer Zhou Tai avenged Gan Ning's death when he killed Sha Moke in the following battle (or during Yi Ling...not sure which one).

[@chinny18]

Will you cover this timeline until the Conquest of Wu by Jin? Also, can you do a visualized documentary about the fall of Lu Bu, The Dong Zhuo coalition, Yellow Turban Rebellion, Three Rebellions of Shouchun, Lui Bei's takeover of the Yi Province, Lu Meng's Jing Campaign and the Sun-Liu Jing Province dispute after Red Cliffs, Cao Cao vs Zhang Xiu, Zhuge Liang's North and South expeditions, Jiang Wei's northern expeditions, Battles of He Fei, Hangzhong and Conquest of Shu by Wei?

[@alirezass9744]

Great video but i would like to more details about this battle there i lot things that has been miss

[@anoriolkoyt]

Oh yea baby! Battle of Chi Bi !!! my favorite map from the games! I also now understand why Liu Bei always had such a small and weak contingent on this map (they were exhuasted and recently defeated ... i finally know!)

[@malokaloMPK]

Please , make a video about the battle of Cerami !

[@LV_427]

I hope the Battle of Ruxukou and Battle of Hefei are next on the Three Kingdoms list, since they are the next big battles between Cao Cao and Sun Quan that happened a few years after Red Cliffs, where both factions brought their best generals to the battlefield.

[@maheshpatel3738]
