215 AD.
Two important events were born this year.
Cao Cao successfully captured Yangping Pass and took Hanzhong into his pocket.
In the Jingzhou area, the Sun Liu Alliance began to gradually emerge.
The initial contradiction between Liu Bei and Sun Quan was precisely because of the Yizhou incident, which was also the direct trigger of the war between them.
In the case of Yizhou, Sun Quan simply regarded Liu Bei as a shameless villain, and could not help but scold:
"A swindler, but dare to blackmail like this!"
Sun Quan once proposed to attack Yizhou and sent Sun Yutun to Xiakou to prepare for the army.
Liu Bei did not hesitate to mobilize all his troops to garrison at the mouth of the Yangtze River and refused to allow Sun Quan's army to enter Yizhou.
In the end, Sun Quan gave up his plan to attack Yizhou.
However, Sun Quan's letting go did not see a satisfactory answer.
After he defended, Liu Bei decisively entered Yizhou, successfully attacked Chengdu, and put Yizhou in his pocket.
Furious, Sun Quan burst into scolding and sent Zhuge Jin to ask Liu Bei for the counties of Jingzhou.
Liu Beiqiao's borrowing of Jingzhou may be very vague to everyone.
Because there are too many chains of interest involved in this territory in Jingzhou.
There were originally seven counties in Jingzhou, from north to south:
Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Wuling County, Changsha County, Lingling County, Guiyang County.
When Liu Biao was running Jingzhou, he divided a Zhangling County from Nanyang County, and Jingzhou became a populous prefecture with eight counties under its jurisdiction.
After Cao Cao's southern conquest of Liu Biao, the situation in Jingzhou began to change dramatically. Cao Cao led his troops south, and the Battle of Chibi took place between Cao Cao and Sun Liu.
After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao led his troops to retreat north.
Zhou Yu led his troops to attack Nan Commandery, while Liu Bei led his troops south to attack the four counties of Jingnan.
Later, the four counties of Nan Commandery and Jingnan were attacked by Zhou Yu and Liu Bei respectively, and Jingzhou completed the first major division after the Battle of Chibi.
Cao Cao: Occupied the northern part of Nanyang County, Xiangyang County, Nanxiang County, and Jiangxia County
Sun Quan: Occupies the southern part of Jiangxia County, South County
Liu Bei: Occupied Wuling County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, changsha County
Sun Quan eventually, in order to consolidate Sun Liu's alliance, also divided a small part of the southern part of Nan Commandery (the red part) to Liu Bei.
But Liu Bei's dream had always been to occupy most of Jiangbei Nan County, rather than the so-called Jingnan Four Counties, which were sparsely populated and had little strategic value at all.
His demand was strongly protested by Zhou Yu, who was originally the Taishou of Nan County, and he also wanted to use Nan County to directly kill Yizhou and put Yizhou into the hands of Sun Quan, and this important land could not fall into liu Bei's hands.
What's more, Liu Bei had nothing when he went south to Jingzhou, but there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and now a small part of the four counties of Canan County was still not satisfied, and zhou Yu, who was the ambition of such a wolf, was naturally unaccustomed.
However, Zhou Yu soon died of illness, and Lu Su, as a staunch supporter of Sun Liu's alliance, persuaded Sun Quan to cede Jiangbei South County.
Cheng Pu retreated from Jiangling to Anlu
Lu Su retreated from Jiangling to Lukou
The Jingzhou territory owned by Liu Bei became like this:
To tell the truth, for the South County issue, Sun Quan is quite powerful and quite gentle.
However, Uncle Liu Huang honestly made friends for a lifetime, and in the later period, he did too much in the two things of Yizhou and Lainan County.
Perhaps, Uncle Liu Huang, who has tasted all the hardships of life, will no longer choose any reasonable and legal life creed, and robbing and robbing is the real life creed of the second half of his life.
The self that was once there has long since disappeared with the passage of time
When Sun Quan sent someone to demand Jingzhou, Liu Bei found a suitable excuse.
He wanted to attack Liangzhou, and as long as he took Liangzhou, he would return Jiangbei Nanjun to him.
When Sun Quan heard this reason, he was even more angry, and taking Down Liangzhou was simply a fool's dream.
Sun Quan ignored it, he not only wanted to claim Jiangbei Nan County, Liu Bei's territory in Jingzhou he had to grab, he decisively appointed the governors of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang Counties, Guan Yu sent people to kick out, Sun Quan once again angrily pointed out, began to use force to settle the Jingzhou dispute.
Sun Quan was furious and sent Lü Meng to lead 20,000 troops to capture the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling, and lü Meng's soldiers pointed out that only Lingling Taishou Haopu insisted on not surrendering.
At that time, Liu Bei was still in the Hanzhong area and Xiahou Yuan, and there was a problem in the important base camp in the rear, so he quickly led 50,000 troops to the public security.
At the same time, Guan Yu was sent to garrison Yiyang and confront Lu Su in Yiyang.
Sun Quan heard of Liu Bei's aid and personally rushed from Moling to Lukou, where he oversaw the seizure of the three counties and ordered Lü Meng to retreat from Lingling and go to Yiyang to aid Lu Su.
Lu Su and Guan Yu confronted each other on the front line, and the two bosses supervised the battle in the rear.
Lü Meng still had a lingering thought on Lingling, borrowing Hao Pu's friend Deng Xuan to convey that Liu Bei had already been surrounded by Xiahou Yuan in Hanzhong, and Guan Yu was surrounded by our assists in Nan County.
It doesn't matter if you're dead, but have you ever thought about your hundred-year-old mother?
When Hao Pu heard this, Kaesong surrendered, and Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling in southern Jingzhou were all taken into their pockets.
After Lü Meng's men commanded Lingling Commandery, they immediately rushed to Yiyang and confronted Guan Yu.
Lu Su personally gave Jiangbei Nanjun to Liu Bei, and seeing that the two families were on fire, the matter was big, and he was ready to take the lead in solving this matter.
After all, to make such a situation now is too detrimental to his own prestige, and this Uncle Liu Huang is also too careless about his own face, how can he do such nonsense?
Therefore, on the bank of the Yangtze River, a big drama of "Lu Su single knife to the meeting" was staged.
When everyone heard that Lu Su wanted to talk with Guan Yu, they hurried to persuade him, but don't worry, now that the two armies are at war, Guan Yu's temperament must cut you!
Lu Su still went his own way, and the two sides stopped the army a hundred paces away, and Lu Su led his cronies to meet Guan Yu.
The two sides quarreled red-faced, and Lu Su finally took out his own killer and poked Liu Bei's old face fiercely.
How miserable was your family lord Liu Bei? Wouldn't you know?
Looking at his changsakapo look, in the end, we helped Liu Bei. Send money, send food, send land, now we want to get our land back, there is a problem?
Guan Yu's face was reddened by Lu Su's refutation, and he no longer spoke.
A few days later, news came from the front line of Yangping Pass that Cao Cao was going to personally conquer Yangping Pass.
Liu Bei finally began to show weakness, and the two sides eventually bounded xiangshui.
Southern Jiangxia, Guiyang, and Changsha belonged to Sun Quan
On the north and south banks of Nan County, Lingling and Wuling belonged to Liu Bei
After this incident, Sun Liu's alliance had actually existed in name only, and Sun Quan deeply resented Liu Bei's rebellious behavior.
However, because Liu Bei was guarding the key places in Nan County, he could not do anything for a while.
The whole of Jingzhou, with Xiangyang City in the north and Jiangling City in the south, is the most important, and Nan County is the only way for the army to enter Yizhou, and Liu Bei is guarding here, which is equivalent to directly blocking the gate of Sun Quan's development to the west.
For a long time to come, Sun Quan was subjugated to a place in Jiangdong, and there was no possibility of competing for the world.
I wonder if when Uncle Liu Huang stood on the river again a few years later, looking at the rough waters of the Yangtze River, would he think back to all that he had done to Eastern Wu?
There are some things in life that are wronged and suffer from them.
Each of us will pay a heavy price for this.
It's not just you, it's not just me, everyone is the same
