Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, and once he borrowed it, he would never pay it back. This story.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou. Jingzhou is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, with rich resources, large population and relatively developed economy and culture. Moreover, the geographical location is very important, with Yizhou in the west and Jiangdong in the east.

There are seven counties in Jingzhou (Nanyang County, Nanjun County, Jiangxia County, Changsha County, Lingling County, Wuling County and Guiyang County). After Battle of Red Cliffs, Wei, Shu and Wu were divided into three parts: Cao Cao was defeated and still retained Nanyang and Xiangyang counties in the north; Sun Quan contributed a lot, but only won Nanjun. Liu Bei was the largest, originally belonging to Jiangxia County. Four counties in the south of Jingzhou surrendered to Liu Qi-Changsha, Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang. ("The late Lord revealed himself as the secretariat of Jingzhou, and also conquered four southern counties. Wuling Taishou kim hyun, Changsha Taishou Han Xuan, Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan and Lingling Taishou Liu Du all surrendered. " )

After Zhou Yu's death, Lu Su of Soochow persuaded Sun Quan to "lend" part of Jingzhou occupied by Soochow to Liu Bei based on strategic considerations, so that Liu Bei could gain a firm foothold and resist Cao Cao together with Soochow. Sun Quan thought it was right, so he "borrowed" the south county of Jingzhou to Liu Bei. First, it was forced by the situation that Cao Cao's southern expedition focused on Huainan ("In the spring and March of the fourteenth year, the army went to Qiaocheng to make canoes and manage the water conservancy army. In autumn and July, the vortex entered the Huaihe River, and the fat water came out, and the army was in Hefei. " ), the second is to let Liu Bei take the place of Wu Dong to face the edge of Jun in Jingzhou, and the third is that half of the southern county of Wu Dong is surrounded by Liu Bei and Cao Cao Xiangyang, going deep alone.

After the data of Battle of Red Cliffs were developed, the seven counties of Jingzhou, which were contested by military strategists, were divided up by Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Cao Cao occupied Nanyang County, the largest county in the north of Jingzhou. Sun Quan got half Jiangxia County and half Nanjun, Liu Bei got half Jiangxia County and half Nanjun, and four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang and Wuling).

Liu Bei's garrison in the public security is not conducive to development, so he twice asked Sun Quan to exchange half of Jiangxia for half of the south county of Jingzhou (the south county is a strategic location, and this proposal belongs to Sun Quan's extreme loss). First, it was forced by Cao Cao's southward expedition to Huainan. Second, I want Liu Bei to face the edge of Jun in Jingzhou instead of Dongwu. Third, half of the southern county of Soochow was surrounded by Liu Bei and went deep alone. Lu Su of Soochow persuaded Sun Quan to agree to this proposal, and Liu Bei accepted it.

Later, when Cao Cao focused on attacking the northwest, Dongwu took out his hand and begged Liu Bei for the whole Nanjun and Jingnan 4 counties in the name of "borrowing Jingzhou" and begged half of Nanjun to "return" the whole Nanjun plus 4 counties. Liu Bei refused, of course, so Sun Quan sent troops to attack Liu Bei and returned some of them in a tense situation, that is, only Changsha and Guiyang were returned to Sun Quan as the South Army.
