As we all know, the Three Kingdoms period was a struggle for supremacy between Wei, Shu and Wu. They both attacked each other and cooperated with each other. As long as there are common interests, former enemies can shake hands and make peace. Although sun and Liu were generally united, when Sun Quan sat on the throne, Liu Bei did not mind cooperating with Cao Cao to suppress Eastern Wu. After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei joined forces with Cao Cao to frame Zhou Yu. Sun Quan knew it was a pit, but had to jump, resulting in the damage to Eastern Wu's strength. So how did Liu Bei and Sun Quan join forces? Listen to the editor to give you a slow talk.
After the Battle of Chibi, Sun Liu's allied forces began to divide the fruits of victory. Sun Quan captured Nan Commandery, and Liu Bei occupied the four counties of Jingnan. However, Liu Bei was not satisfied, and also set up his zuo general's mansion in Jiangyou County, south of the Yangtze River, and changed Jiangyou County to Gong'an County. Opposite Jiangyou County is Jiangling, Zhou Yu's seat in Nan County. Liu Bei wanted Zhou Yu to give him Jiangling as well, but how could Zhou Yu possibly agree? He fought with Cao Ren for a year before taking the city, so why did he give it to Liu Bei? This big ear thief thinks it's pretty. Liu Bei saw that Zhou Yu did not agree, nor was he in a hurry, so he directly skipped Zhou Yu to find his superior Sun Quan to "borrow Jingzhou".
Sun Quan is not stupid, why did he lend Jingzhou to you Liu Bei? At this time, Cao Cao, who was cooperating, came. In order to divide the Eastern Wu regime, the central government of the Eastern Han Dynasty, headed by Cao Cao, issued an order appointing Zhou Yu as the Taishou of Nan Commandery. You must know that at that time, Sun Quan's official identity was "to please the general, to understand the audit of taishou". If Zhou Yu also became a Taishou, who would lead whom? What worried Sun Quan even more was that Zhou Yu's prestige in Eastern Wu was getting higher and higher.
Zhou Yu was originally an old man of the former dynasty, and his brother Sun Ce's beloved general. In this Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu was also in the limelight. However, Sun Quan himself withdrew his army during the northern attack on Hefei and was discredited. In addition, Cao Cao sent people to persuade Zhou Yu to establish himself as king, causing Sun Quan to become more and more distrustful of Zhou Yu. This suspicion had actually taken root in Sun Quan's mind long before the Battle of Chibi, otherwise he would not have given 30,000 when Zhou Yu asked for 50,000 soldiers. In order to balance Zhou Yu, Sun Quan planned to pull Liu Bei in. And the way he co-opted Liu Bei was to marry his sister to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei had originally planned to "borrow" Jingzhou from Sun Quan, and Sun Quan married his sister and completely became his own person, and he could speak better. Therefore, after brazenly submitting a request to Sun Quan to "ask for the capital to oversee Jingzhou", Liu Bei "kindly" reminded Sun Quan: "Gongjin Wenwu Strategy, The Hero of Ten Thousand People, Taking Into Account his Vast Arsenal, I am afraid that he will soon become a subject." This sentence can be described as very fierce, straight into Sun Quan's heart. The so-called "three people become tigers", Zhou Yu is innocent, and Sun Quan does not dare to trust him.
In order to suppress Zhou Yu and distract Cao Cao, Sun Quan eventually lent Jingzhou to Liu Bei. For a "pig teammate" like Sun Quan, Zhou Yu really can't move. But Sun Quan is also the supreme leader, what can he do? I had to obey. Fifteen years after Jian'an, Sun Quan approved Zhou Yu's plan to go out to Yizhou. Zhou Yu returned to his garrison in Gangneung, where he suddenly fell ill and died at the age of 36 while traveling to Baqiu. If Zhou Yu was killed by anger, then the person who killed Zhou Yu was definitely not Zhuge Liang, but Sun Quan!
