Abstract

This article takes the Battle of Yiling as the subject of research within the narrative of “Romance of the Three Kingdoms,” conducting an in-depth analysis of the distinct strategies and measures employed by the states of Shu and Wu during the phase of war mobilization. By comparing the extensive military campaign initiated by Shu with Wu’s defensive mobilization actions, the paper places particular emphasis on how Wu, when confronted with formidable challenges, successfully countered Shu’s offensive through scientifically sound strategic planning, efficient military organization, precise allocation of resources, and adaptable diplomatic tactics in its defense mobilization efforts. The article asserts that the practice of defense mobilization demonstrated by Wu during the Battle of Yiling furnishes rich historical experience and profound insights for modern defense mobilization. These include the significance of strategic decision-making, the pivotal role of materiel reserves and logistical support, the effective mobilization and integration of human resources, and the skillful application of diverse methods in complex domestic and international environments to achieve strategic objectives.
