The Three Kingdoms issue has always been debated, and there are many questions in the broad history of the Three Kingdoms. The more remote historical problems aside, let's look at the more famous ones, such as the lost street kiosks. The Mystery of Wei Yan's Death? What would Yuan Shao do if Guandu won the battle? Who killed Cao Chong? Is It true that Guan Yu is all to blame for losing Jingzhou? The list goes on and on.
What I want to discuss with you today is a relatively unpopular problem, perhaps everyone is very concerned about the ownership of Nan County, but there is a problem in the territory occupied by Liu Bei that cannot be ignored, that is, the four counties of Jingnan. Changsha County, one of the four counties of Jingnan, was one of the largest counties at that time, with a population of about 80,000 households, accounting for half of the population of the four counties of Jingnan.
According to the current historical data, on the issue of taking the four counties of Jingnan, Sun Quan first wanted Changsha County.
Geographically, Changsha County was very important to the Sun regime: first of all, the western gate of Yuchang County was Changsha, and with Changsha County, the southwest direction of Jiangdong also had a strategic buffer; secondly, Changsha County was one of the fulcrums, where the south could control Guiyang, and there was also a forward base for the relatively remote Jiaozhou. Judging from the history of the future, after many regimes occupied the Two Lakes region, the two Guangdong areas could be quickly taken, and the experience of the Tang Dynasty in the back also proved this, and once the Tang army occupied Changsha, the two Guangzhous would also fall in the wind. Of course, it should not be ignored that obtaining Changsha County could greatly enhance Sun Quan's national strength. All of the above are important reasons why Sun Quan wants to get Changsha County.
However, there is another thing that cannot be ignored, that is, although the foundation of the Sun clan is the six counties of Jiangdong, Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, started in Changsha.
