Jingzhou is one of Kyushu in Han Dynasty and thirteen states in Eastern Han Dynasty. It belongs to an extremely important and wealthy state, and its jurisdiction is probably the whole territory of Hubei and Hunan provinces. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was occupied by Liu Biao, which governed Nanyang County, Nanjun County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, Xiangyang County and Zhang Ling County. Jingxiang Jiujun? Say it. In August 208, Liu Biao, the second son of Liu Biao, died of illness. With the help of Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, Liu Biao succeeded as Jingzhou Pastoral. However, Liu Biao is far behind his father Liu Biao. I'm afraid he couldn't have done it in Jingzhou without the help of scholars such as Cai Jiahe and Zhang Jia. It was because Liu Biao was ignorant and afraid of death that he heard that Cao Cao was going to do it. With the occupation of Jingzhou by Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan were on pins and needles, because the location of Jingzhou was very important. If Cao Cao completely occupied Jingzhou, Sun Quan and Liu Bei would be greatly threatened and even faced with extinction.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou was undoubtedly the most important place to compete for the world. The mountains and rivers are dangerous and solid, and they have been arrogant since ancient times. Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei in Longzhong? Jingzhou is bordered by Hanmian in the north, LinNanhai in the east, Wuhui in the east and Bashu in the west. It is a country of martial arts. ? When Lu Su remonstrated with Sun Quanlian and Liu Kang Cao Jin, he clearly said the importance of Jingzhou. He said? Jingchu is next door, the water flows downstream, Jianghan can go, and the mountain is dangerous. There are solid gold cities, fertile fields and Wan Li, and the people are rich. If it is based on it, it is the capital of this emperor. ? . Therefore, Jingzhou was definitely the place that Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Bei wanted at that time, and it was also the place that they could not lose. It is in this environment that shortly after Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, Sun Quan joined forces with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao in order to prevent Cao Cao from annexing himself and to fight for the ownership of Jingzhou, and finally the most famous Battle of Red Cliffs broke out. The alliance between Sun and Liu was victorious, and Cao Cao was forced to return to Jiangling.
Although Cao Cao's army has not completely destroyed the foundation, it is unable to control the whole Jingzhou, and the Sun-Liu alliance is unable to destroy Cao Cao. So he and Liu started a war for Jingzhou. First, Sun Quan chose Nanjun, the strategic location of the Western Expedition, or Nanjun, the strategic location of the Western Expedition, while Liu Bei chose Nanshou Jingnan, and finally successfully won the four counties of Jingnan, namely Changsha County, Lingling County, Guiyang County and Wuling County. However, unlike Liu Bei's successful capture of the four counties in Jingnan, Sun Quan's army fell into a confrontation with Cao Ren in the process of recovering the south county, with heavy casualties. Coss took part in the battle? The courage of heaven and man? It is conceivable how tenacious resistance Sun Quan's army met.
Finally, Sun Quan saw that there was no hope of recovering Nanjun, so he had to ask Liu Bei for help. Later, Liu Bei agreed to Sun Quan's help. He first asked Guan Yu to successfully cut off Cao Ren's grain and grass in the North Road, and then asked Zhang Fei to help Zhou Yu attack Jiangling City. Liu Bei himself detoured Xiashui to surround Coss. Finally, with the help of Liu Bei, Zhou Yu was able to successfully occupy Jiangling, the governing place of Nanjun County, while Sun Quan and Liu Bei captured Jiangxia County in Liu Qi. However, because Nanjun and Jiangxia counties were controlled with the help of Liu Bei, in fact, Sun Quan only occupied a part of Jiangxia county, and Jiangling, the seat of Nanyang county, was controlled by Liu Bei.
Finally, after a year-long scuffle, Jingzhou was finally carved up by Cao Sunliu. Although Cao Cao lost most of Jingzhou, he also firmly occupied Nanyang County and Xiangyang County, the largest and richest counties in Jingzhou. Sun Quan was trapped in recovering Nanjun and had to ask Liu Bei for help. Although Cao Ren was defeated in the end, with the help of Liu Bei, only half of Jiangxia County and half of Nanjun County were obtained. Liu Bei is undoubtedly the biggest winner of this battle, not only occupying the four counties in Jingnan, but also occupying all Jingzhou land except Sun Quan's occupation, including most of Nanyang County and part of Jiangxia County.
We can know from various historical records that, of course, half of Jingzhou was occupied by Liu Bei, and all of it was occupied by Liu Bei himself. On the other hand, if it weren't for Liu Bei's help, I'm afraid Sun Quan couldn't even occupy Jiangling, let alone Jiangxia County. So where did Liu Bei borrow Jingzhou from Sun Quan? And Liu Beiben is the Jingzhou animal husbandry recommended by everyone. It can be said that Jingzhou was originally his, since he borrowed it all.
And many people say that Liu Bei did borrow money from Sun Quan, but he borrowed Jiangling instead of Jingzhou. I can only say here that this is not a loan at all, but that Sun Quan has no ability to hold Jiangling. In the end, he said he borrowed it just to save face, but in fact he chickened out. You should know that Liu Bei is in the public security, Zhang Fei is in Yidu and Guan Yu is in Xiangyang. It can be said that the whole Jiangling is surrounded by Liu Bei, and Sun Quan's Jiangling is completely surrounded by Liu Bei. It can be said that if Liu Bei wanted to fight Sun Quan, he could never keep it, and Sun Quan needed Liu Bei's help at that time. Finally, Sun Quan gave Jiangling to Liu Bei as a donkey. Since he can't stay, why not bend the rules? Therefore, Jiangling was not borrowed by Liu Bei at all. It was only because Sun Quan could not keep it that he had to retreat to Liu Bei.
Besides, we need to understand one thing. What we know now about Liu Bei's borrowing from Jingzhou is all from the biography of Wu Dongren. Other official history, including Shu Wei and Shu Shu, has never seen such a statement. Then you can imagine why there is this statement. I think it is clear at a glance that Sun Quan's dirty behavior of secretly occupying Jingzhou when Guan Yu attacked Cao Cao was to cover up his morality of forming an alliance with Liu Bei and find a reasonable reason for his dirty behavior. Therefore, in fact, there is no fact that Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou in history, and Jingzhou did not completely belong to anyone at that time. It can be said that it is shared by three families, but the county that occupies the most is Liu Bei. Theoretically, the actual controller of Jingzhou is Liu Bei.
