"Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, borrowed and did not return" is an allusion in history. After Liu Bei borrowed Sun Quan's Jingzhou, he was unwilling to return it, which eventually led to a feud between Sun and Liu's families, and Sun Quan took advantage of Liu Bei and Cao Cao's battle for Hanzhong to send Lü Meng to seize the three counties of Nan County, Lingling, and Guiyang.
Liu Bei occupied the 5 counties of Jingzhou, of which Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, nanyang four counties, he sent troops to seize, Liu Bei only borrowed Sun Quan a nan county, why sun quan wanted Jingzhou, liu Bei to return him Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang three counties, what is the truth behind it?
Jingxiang has nine counties, namely Nanyang, Nanjun, Jiangxia, Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling, Changsha, Xiangyang and Nanxiang. After dong zhuo's rebellion broke out, he took control of the court. Dong Zhuo wrote to the court and asked Liu Biao to do the History of Jingzhou Assassination. Soon after, Liu Biao was promoted to Jingzhou Mu, which made Jingzhou a territory of Liu Biao. After Dong Zhuo's death, the world fell into great chaos, and Liu Biao also became a prince in the late Han Dynasty.
When Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and others were fighting each other, Liu Biao only guarded his Jingzhou and lived his peaceful life. Later, after Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, he came to defect to his brother Liu Biao. In order to give himself one more helper against Cao Cao, Liu Bei took Liu Bei in.
After Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shu, Lü Bu, Yuan Shao, and other tyrants, he led his troops south to prepare to capture Liu Biao's Jingzhou and Sun Quan's Jiangdong. Just at this time, I met Liu Biao's illness and died. Liu Biao was a heroic figure, and with his talent, he was not necessarily Cao Cao's opponent, and his son Liu Chun was far less talented than Liu Biao, let alone Cao Cao's opponent, so Liu Chun chose to surrender without a fight and sent Jingzhou to Cao Cao.
This caused eight of the nine counties of Jingxiang to fall into Cao Cao's hands, only Jiangxia County, part of which was occupied by Jiangdong, part of which was occupied by Guan Yu, and some of which fell into Cao Cao's hands. After Jingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao, Jiangdong became a lone soldier and was in a very dangerous situation.
At the critical moment, Lu Su had a strategic vision, and he promoted the Sun-Liu alliance through diplomatic means. Sun Liu's combined forces, led by Zhou Yu, defeated Cao Jun several times. At the same time, after the Cao army went south, due to the water and soil dissatisfaction and other reasons, there was a serious plague in the army, which caused heavy losses to the Cao army. Cao Cao had little hope of destroying Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and eventually he burned the warship and led his troops north.
After Cao Cao returned to the north, he left Cao Ren to defend the strategic areas of Fancheng and Xiangyang, and other counties in Jingzhou, although there were also Jingzhou soldiers who surrendered to Cao Cao, but the strength of the troops was weak, giving Sun Quan and Liu Bei the opportunity. After Cao Cao's retreat, Liu Bei sent men to capture the four counties of Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Nanyang, and Zhou Yu captured Nan County. There are also 3 counties of Nanyang, Xiangyang and Nanxiang and part of Jiangxia, in the hands of Cao Cao.
After Liu Bei took the four counties, in order to strengthen his own strength, he asked Sun Quan to let him "oversee Jingzhou", that is, to entrust Jingzhou to him.
One mountain does not allow two tigers, and a country cannot have two emperors, so sooner or later Liu Bei and Sun Quan will become opponents in order to compete for Jiangshan. Zhou Yu was worried that Liu Bei's development and growth would become a problem for Jiangdong's confidants, so he opposed lending Liu Bei the Nan County and other Jingzhou areas controlled by Jiangdong to Liu Bei and letting Liu Bei administer Jingzhou, but soon after, Zhou Yu died of illness, which gave Liu Bei the opportunity to borrow Jingzhou.
When Zhou Yu was alive, he planned to attack Yizhou, but after his death, Jiangdong's plan to attack Yizhou was shelved. In order to strengthen his own strength, Liu Bei borrowed Nan County from Sun Quan. At that time, Liu Bei was weak and in a weak position, and in order to get the heavy responsibility of "Governor Jingzhou", he promised Sun Quan that he would take Yizhou, and after having a foothold, he would return the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang.
Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan with the intention of borrowing and not repaying, so the conditions promised to Sun Quan were very favorable, but the matter of borrowing territory, during the chaotic struggle between the heroes and the masses who were dead and alive and deceitful, was a meat bun beating a dog, and there was no going back. Sun Quan hesitated, but Lu Su persuaded him to lend Nan Commandery to Liu Bei. After having Nan County, Liu Bei's strength grew rapidly, and finally achieved three points of the world.
Liu Bei was a rather jealous opponent of Cao Cao, but Liu Bei was weak and did not pose a threat to Cao Cao, so after Sun Quan lent Nan Commandery to Liu Bei, Liu Bei had the strength to wrench his wrist with Cao Cao. When Cao Cao heard about this, his chopsticks fell to the ground in shock. This shattered Cao Cao's dream of unifying the world in his lifetime, and also left Sun Liu's family with a trouble that was unclear and chaotic.
Soon after, Liu Bei sent troops to capture Yizhou. According to their agreement, after Liu Bei had Yizhou, he would return the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang to Sun Quan, but Liu Bei, who was determined to seize the world, naturally did not want to do anything to harm himself and the enemy, and he was unwilling to return Jingzhou to Sun Quan.
Liu Bei proposed to Sun Quan that after taking Liangzhou, he could return Jingzhou to Sun Quan. Liangzhou was controlled by Cao Cao, and Liu Bei needed to wait until the Year of the Monkey to take Liangzhou, so Jiangdong was very dissatisfied with Liu Bei's attitude. In 215, Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to capture the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang. At that time, Liu Bei was competing with Cao Cao for Hanzhong, and he chose to negotiate peace with Sun Quan in order to avoid a two-front battle.
Jiangxia, Guiyang, and Changsha belonged to Sun Quan, Nanjun, Lingling, and Wuling belonged to Liu Bei, and Nanyang, Xiangyang, and Nanxiang, as well as some Jiangxia, were in Cao Cao's hands. During the Battle of Xiangfan, Lü Meng captured Nan County, Lingling, and Wuling from Guan Yu. At this point, Liu Bei completely lost Jingzhou.
