The earliest city of Wuchang began in the second year of Huang Wu in the Three Kingdoms period (AD 223). At that time, Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, built an earth-rock city in the northeast of Jiangxia Mountain (now Snake Mountain), named Xiakou City. Fiona Fang City is only two or three miles away, which is really a military fortress with dangerous terrain. Wuchang has been the seat of counties, prefectures, counties and provinces since ancient times. The ancient city of Xiakou in history has also undergone several changes. Shaxian County (Yi Yin) was established in the Han Dynasty, which was in charge of Tukou (now Jinkou, Jiangxia District). After the Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, Shaxian moved to Xiakou City, so Wuchang once called Shaxian. Later, due to the expansion of its jurisdiction, it was renamed runan county. In the first year of Xiao Jian in the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 454), Emperor Xiaowu established Yingzhou in Xiakou, and repaired and expanded the city wall on the basis of Xiakou City.

During the Qi and Liang Dynasties, Liang attacked Cao (later appointed as the secretariat of Yunzhou) and built earth castles in the north of Zijinshan and Xiaoguishan. This castle is adjacent to Husha Lake in the north and about two miles from Yingcheng in the south. It was later called "Cao Gongcheng".

In the ninth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (AD 589), Wendi changed Yingzhou to Ezhou and runan county to Jiangxia County. State and county governments are located in this city. Since then, Wuchang has been called Ezhou and Jiangxia County. In the first year of Tang Jingzong (AD 825), Niu Sengru was the military envoy of Wuchang to rebuild Ezhou City. The original rammed earth structure was changed into brick structure.
