Is it true that Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou and didn't return it? What is the basis?

Did Liu Bei borrow Jingzhou or not? I think everyone knows this two-part allegorical saying. Of course, the well-known allusion behind this two-part allegorical saying is based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, that is, Liu Bei borrowed Sun Quan's land in Jingzhou, and Sun Quan later borrowed it. After Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, he refused to return the land of Jingzhou, but took it for himself. In the end, Sun Quan had to wage war to recapture Jingzhou from Liu Bei.

So it's really like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Does Liu Bei really borrow Jingzhou and not return it? Actually, it's not. The land of Jingzhou that Sun Quan lent to Liu Bei is only? South county? And Liu Bei didn't return it. On the contrary, he gave Sun Quan two counties. So what is the detailed story of this matter? Listen to me slowly.

Jingzhou is one of the ancient Kyushu, "Shangshu? Yu Gong contains:? Is there only Jingzhou in Jinghe Hengyang? . Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was sealed for five years. Emperor Wu? Thirteen States in the original Secretariat Department? , the establishment of Jingzhou secretariat department, under the jurisdiction of Nanjun, the jurisdiction is probably the whole territory of Hubei and Hunan provinces today.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou was occupied by Liu Biao, an animal husbandry officer in Jingzhou, and governed nine counties, including Nanyang, Xia Nan, Jiangxia, Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling, Changsha, Xiangyang and Zhang Ling. Jingxiang Jiujun? Say it. Jingzhou has a very important geographical position, extending in all directions and convenient transportation, which is the center of the world. It is located in Jianghan Plain and Dongting Lake Plain. At that time, the richest grain-producing area in the Eastern Han Dynasty was located in Dongting Lake Plain. Is the lake wide and ripe, and the world is full? So Jingzhou was very rich at that time.

There are Hanshui and Dahongshan in the north of Jingzhou, Wuling in the south, Wushan in the west, Dabie Mountain, Mufu Mountain, Jiuling Mountain and Luo Xiao in the east, forming a natural barrier. What is the comment on reading history in minutes? The mountains and rivers are dangerous and solid, and they have been arrogant since ancient times. . Lu Su once 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. ? Zhuge Liang also said? 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. ? For any forces at that time, Jingzhou was the most important strategic location.

Yu Fang Minutes of Reading History says:? Liu Biao accepted it and sat down to talk about Xibo; Liu Bei's fake, three points in the world; Guan Yu used it to impress China; Sun Quan used it against Cao Wei. ? This is Jingzhou.

In this way, at that time, every slightly powerful warlord wanted to get their hands on Jingzhou, but the existence of Liu Biao never made Jingzhou available to other princes. However, in August 2008, with the death of Liu Biao, the governors around Jingzhou began to stir, among which Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan were the most qualified to compete for Jingzhou.

Of course, in the initial battle of Jingzhou, Cao Cao took the lead, because Liu Cong, who inherited Liu Bang's Jingzhou Pastoral, was afraid of death and weak, so when he heard that Cao Cao was going to attack Jingzhou, he surrendered directly to Cao Cao, and after he was nominally sheltered by Jingzhou Pastoral, he naturally won the opportunity to fight for Jingzhou.

However, Liu Bei and Sun Quan obviously won't let Cao Cao win Jingzhou so easily. Jingzhou is as important to Cao Cao as it is to Liu Bei and Sun Quan. If Cao Cao is allowed to completely occupy Jingzhou, Sun Quan will always face the threat of Cao Cao and Liu Bei will go to extinction. So at this critical moment, Sun and Liu formally formed an alliance and declared war on Cao Cao.

Then, Battle of Red Cliffs broke out, and Sun and Liu won the victory. Cao Cao was forced to give up part of Jingzhou and return to Jiangling. In this way, as Cao Cao lost complete control of Jingzhou, Cao, Sun and Liu launched a battle for Jingzhou for more than a year.

First, Sun Quan is here? South of Jingnan or west of Nanjun, strategically important? In his plan, he chose Nanjun, the strategic location of the Western Expedition, while Liu Bei chose the southern expedition strategy in Jingnan area. After that, Liu Beijun successfully won four counties in Jingzhou, such as Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang and Wuling (Biography of the Three Kingdoms and Cao Cao). Going to Chibi is not conducive to preparing for war. So there was a great epidemic, many officials died, and they led the troops back. Are there Jingzhou and Jiangnan counties? )。

But in stark contrast to Liu Bei's triumphant progress, Sun Quan's setbacks again and again. When Sun Quanjun attacked the Confederate army, he was resisted to the death by Coss. Sun Quanjun suffered heavy casualties and was unable to attack the Confederate army alone. So in desperation, Sun Quan had to ask Liu Bei for help. After Liu Bei accepted Sun Quan's request to send troops, he first asked Guan Yu to cut off Cao Ren's grain and grass supply in the north road (The Biography of the Three Kingdoms and Li Tong contains:? Liu Bei and Zhou Yu surrounded Cao Ren in Jiangling. Don't send Guan Yu to North Road. ? ), and then let Zhang Fei assist Zhou Yu to capture Nanjun. Finally, Liu Bei personally led an army to bypass the siege of Nanjun in the summer ("Lu Wu":? Renshou Jiangling City, with sufficient food, is sick. I asked to chase me with thousands of people, and Qing divided me into two thousand people, thinking that after I cut Ren from Xia Shuiren, I went in and left Ren Wen. ? I benefited from two thousand people. ? . )。

In this way, with the cooperation of Sun and Liu, Nanjun was occupied and Coss retreated. Soon, the two sides jointly captured Liu Qi's Jiangxia County. Of course, because Nanjun County and Jiangxia County were occupied with the help of Liu Bei, Sun Quan actually occupied only a part of Jiangxia County and Jiangling, the ruling place of Nanyang County, and Liu Bei controlled the rest.

Finally, after a year-long scuffle, Jingzhou was carved up by Cao Sunliu. At this time, although Cao Cao lost more than half of Jingzhou, he firmly controlled Nanyang County and Xiangyang County, the richest county in Jingzhou. Sun Quan finally won by relying on Liu Bei because his army was ineffective, so he only got half Jiangxia County and half Nanjun in the end.

Liu Bei is undoubtedly the biggest winner of this battle. He not only completely occupied the four counties in Jingnan, but also occupied most of Nanyang County and part of Jiangxia County, which is a real big winner.

So to sum up, at that time, Jingzhou, the territory occupied by Liu Bei was his own income. On the other hand, if it weren't for Liu Bei's help, I'm afraid even Nanjun wouldn't get a piece of the action. So in fact, although Liu Bei did borrow Jingzhou from Sun Quan, there was only Nanjun, and the rest of the territory was shot down by Liu Bei himself.

In addition, in fact, Sun Quan was willing to lend Liu Bei half of Nanjun at that time, not because of generosity, but because he had other plans. First of all, Sun Quan couldn't hold the territory of Nanjun at all. 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 the territory occupied by Sun Quan is completely surrounded by Liu Bei, which means that Liu Bei can directly get Nanjun at any time.

Then Sun Quan wanted to use Liu Bei against Cao Cao. After all, although Cao Cao was defeated by Sun Liu in Battle of Red Cliffs, it didn't shake its foundation, so Cao Cao is still the most powerful vassal in the world, and Sun Quan can't fight against Cao Cao alone. So in the case of losing the territory of Nanjun, I exchanged this for Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao. Why not?

Then Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, and Liu Bei wanted to compete with Cao Cao for Hanzhong. So in order to prevent Sun Quan from attacking from behind, Liu Bei and Sun Quan reached a settlement. Liu Bei gave the eastern part of Changsha, Jiangxia and Guiyang to Sun Quan, while the southern county belonged to Liu Bei, that is, three counties were changed to one county.
