Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, not all of Jingzhou borrowed from Sun Quan, but only a southern county;
Distribution map of the states
There is a view that Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou is that Liu Bei got the southern county of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei exchanged Xiakou; let alone the feasibility of changing a city for a county; Liu Bei, and even Liu Qi, may never have had Xiakou.
Cao Wei had an early involvement with Jiangxia

Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Volume XVII. Zhang Liao's biography: When Jingzhou was undecided, he re-dispatched Liaotun Changshe.
At least between the destruction of Yuan Tan and the destruction of Yuan Shang, Cao Cao had already sent Zhang Liao to capture some counties of Jiangxia County; but it was clear that he did not capture all of Jiangxia County at the beginning, so he would "re-dispatch Liaotun Changshe", which was a county under the jurisdiction of Jiangxia County.
When Cao Cao first sent Zhang Liao to attack Jiangxia County, Huang Zu was still the Taishou of Jiangxia.
This shows that Cao Cao had already occupied part of Jiangxia County before he had even launched a southern expedition; by the time Cao Cao invaded Jingzhou in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi and sent Wen to the Jiangxia County area under his control as a Taishou, and Cao Cao's forces still did not withdraw from Jiangxia County.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Volume XVIII. Wen Ping Biography :( Wen) was employed in Jiangxia for decades.
From the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Wen Ping had been serving as the Taishou of Jiangxia of Cao Wei for more than ten years; it can be seen that Cao Wei had always controlled some of the subordinate counties of Jiangxia County, and Eastern Wu did not obtain all of Jiangxia County.
Pei Notes on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Volume X. The Biography of Xun Yu quotes the "Biography of You Heng of the Plain Plain": The general Huang Zutun Xiakou, Zuzi shooting and Hengshan, followed to Xiakou.
When Huang Zu was appointed as the Taishou of Jiangxia, he took his son Huang Zhao with him, and when Huang Zu's soldiers were defeated and fled west, did Huang Shoot follow? Was he killed by Eastern Wu and Huang Zu? If he had not been killed, whether Huang Had left Natsuguchi before or for other reasons, there are few historical records of him.

Although there is no mention here whether Sun Quan occupied Xiakou or not, we indirectly prove from elsewhere that Sun Quan had already occupied Xiakou before Cao Cao arrived in Jingzhou.

Zhou Yu was thirteen years old in Jian'an, and after Cao Cao got Jingzhou, he said that he would lead 30,000 troops into Xiakou, and after killing Huang Zu before that, he occupied Xiakou, that is to say, Xiakou was Sun Quan's territory, if not, Zhou Yu would not say that he would enter Xiakou.
Then there is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Volume Fifty-Four. Lu Su Biography: Quan is to dispatch Su Xing. By xiakou, Wen Cao had already sent to Jingzhou
Here when Lu Su went to Jingzhou to meet Liu Bei, who fled south, if Xiakou was not controlled by the Wu army, why did Lu Su pass through Xiakou?!
Some people will say that Sun Quan also built a Xiakou Castle, which is true, but it was in the second year (223) of [Huang Wu], which is 15 years later than the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208).

Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Volume Seventy-Four. Biography of Liu Biao: Huibiao killed Jiang Xia Taishou Huangzu for Sun Quan, and Qi asked to take his place.
Huang Zu was killed in the spring of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, and Cao Cao was the southern conquest of Jingzhou in July of the thirteenth year of Jian'an. Then again, how did Liu Qi regain Xia Kou in more than half a year? And this word is not recorded in history.
When Liu Qi was appointed as the Taishou of Jiangxia, Jiangxia County had already been infected by Cao Wei and Eastern Wu, and Liu Qi's first purpose in doing Jiangxia Taishou was to avoid disasters; therefore, I think that Liu Qi's act of Jiangxia Taishou is not false, but whether he moved the seat of government of Jiangxia County to another place is unknown.
Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Volume Seventy-Four. Biography of Liu Biao: Hou Yinzhi qi. Qi is angry, thrown into the land, and will be embarrassed by the funeral.
After Liu Qi ascended the throne, he hoped to recognize Liu Qi's position by granting Liu Qi the seal silk; Liu Qi directly threw the seal silk to the ground and prepared to take the opportunity of the funeral to attack Liu Qi. It can be seen that Liu Qi only regards being Jiang Xia Taishou as a means of avoiding disasters, he is determined to be in Jingzhou Mu, and does not care about Jiangxia Taishou, as for who Xia Kou belongs to, it is not Liu Qi who is most concerned; in the case that the position of Jingzhou Mu has not been grabbed, how can he care about Xia Kou? Is it difficult to make a wedding dress for Liu Chun?
Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Volume Seventy-Four. Biography of Liu Biao: and Cao Jun to Xiangyang, ZhaoJu Prefecture please surrender, Liu Bei Ben Xiakou.
As soon as Cao Qi's army reached Xinye in Jingzhou, Liu Qi crossed the Yangtze River and ran south (this also shows from the side that Liu Qi's seat of government at that time was in Jiangbei, but it is impossible to determine whether it was Xiakou; moreover, Cao Wei at that time did not completely occupy the subordinate counties north of the Yangtze River in Jiangxia County, or Liu Qi did not have to cross the river to "go south"); Liu Bei only left to run south after learning that Liu Qi surrendered to Cao Cao, and met Lu Su at Changsaka in Dangyang before going east to Xiakou. This is most likely Lu Su's suggestion that Liu Bei take refuge in Xia Kou, which seems to imply that Xia Kou was already in Sun Quan's hands before Lu Su could say so.
Liu Qi started running early, Liu Bei ran late, Liu Bei was persuaded by Lu Su to go east to Xiakou, it is reasonable to say that Liu Bei and Liu Qi could not meet, the situation can only be Liu Qi ran south first, and then ran west to meet Liu Bei;
Huang Zu was killed in the spring of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, and Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Qi leave Xiangyang, the seat of Jingzhou, to avoid trouble. At this time, Liu Qi thought of a specific way to go out, and he thought of Jiang Xia's Taishou Huangzu being killed, and only then did he ask for a foreign post. Then Huang Zu was killed to Liu Qi as Jiangxia Taishou must exist for a certain time and the interval is not long, it is impossible for Huang Zu to be killed, Liu Qi directly requested the foreign appointment to achieve seamless connection; then this time liu biao did not appoint Jiangxia Taishou, is Xiakou still in Liu Biao's hands?
Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Volume Seventy-Four. Biography of Liu Biao: Will Cao Jun to Xinye, Qi to Jiangnan.
Taking a step back, even though Liu Qi was doing the Jiangxia Taishou Nahui, he still ruled Xiakou, but by the time Cao Cao arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Qi had already abandoned the city and "walked to Jiangnan".
Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Volume XXXII. Biography of the First Lord: Met the eldest son of the cousin Jiang Xia Tai Shou Qi, more than 10,000 people, and all arrived at Xiakou.
If Xia Kou was in Liu Qi's hands at that time, why did Liu Bei and Lu Su go to Xia Kou in the absence of Liu Qi? Liu Qi will definitely accept him? Liu Bei still had people and horses at that time, could a Xiakou City accommodate it? If Liu Qi came to greet Liu Bei, why did he lead tens of thousands of people to greet him, was it too xing to move the crowd, just like moving? Speaking of which: When he arrived at Xiakou with jujutsu, it gave the impression that Liu Qi was not the master of Xiakou, but only met Liu Bei and arrived at Xiakou with Liu Bei. If it is assumed that Xiakou is in the hands of Sun Quan, then with Lu Su present, Liu Bei can be asked to go to Xiakou first; then meet Liu Qi halfway through, because he is good friends with Liu Bei, so it is possible to go to Xiakou together.
