In the 11th year of the Wushu Alliance, who earned Sun Quan and Liu Bei?
During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei was the strongest. At that time, Cao Wei accounted for 2 3 of the forces in the world, and then the remaining 1 3 was divided between Shu and Wu. Wu Shu united to barely be able to contend with Cao Wei. In fact, the period of cooperation between Wu and Shu is also divided into two stages, the first stage is the period of the formation of the Three Kingdoms, that is, from the Battle of Chibi in 208 AD to the 11 years before the Eastern Wu Lü Meng sneak attack on the three counties of Jingxi of Shu Han in 219 AD;The subsequent 4 years from the end of 219 to 223 were the period of fighting between Wu and Shu. Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou and Liu Bei's defeat at Yiling both occurred at this stage. Then the next 40 years until the fall of Shu Han in 263 AD was the stage of cooperation between Wu and Shu to jointly resist Wei!What we are going to talk about now is the first stage of the Wu-Shu union, that is, from 208 to 219. So in the past 11 years of Wu Shu cooperation, who has earned Sun Quan and Liu Bei?Let's take a look!
In fact, before the Battle of Chibi, although Liu Bei also had the experience of chasing the Central Plains and occupying Xuzhou, it was all in the past. Since Liu Bei was defeated in the Central Plains and defected to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Bei has always been the existence of Liu Biao's younger brother. Liu Bei was stationed in the small city of Xinye in the north of Jingzhou to help Liu Biao defend against Cao Cao!At this time, of course, Liu Bei will not cooperate in Sun Quan's field of vision!Later, on the eve of Cao Cao's southward journey, Liu Biao died of illness. The successor Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao!Liu Bei went east to Jiangxia. At this time, Liu Bei gradually entered the scope of Sun Quan's cooperation horizon!At this time, Liu Bei only had 20,000 troops. The ensuing battle of Chibi with Cao Cao, although it was called the Sun-Liu Alliance, everyone knew that it was mainly Sun Quan's main game, and Liu Bei cooperated with an assist at most!
After the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan fought with Cao Cao for a year at Jiangling, the gateway to Jingzhou, and finally took Jiangling. And Liu Bei took advantage of this time to take Jingnan 4 counties. Later, in order to further consolidate the Sun-Liu alliance and shorten the anti-Cao front, as well as let Liu Bei share the pressure of resisting Cao, Sun Quan lent Jiangling to Liu Bei, and since then Liu Bei has the basic plate of Jingzhou's 5 counties!So at this stage, Liu Bei must have earned it!But in the same year that Liu Bei entered Sichuan, that is, in 211 AD, Sun Quan took the southernmost Jiaozhou!Sun Quan's income is actually okay!But Liu Bei is of course the biggest winner!
Subsequently, from 211 to 215 AD, Liu Bei gradually took Yizhou westward. The initial realization of the ground across the Jingyi. The east of Dongwu is the sea, the south has already taken Jiaozhou, and the direction of expansion can only be Cao Cao Huainan in the north and Liu Bei Jingzhou in the west. But Liu Bei is an ally, so Sun Quan can only fight Cao Cao, but Cao Cao is too strong, the Eastern Wu Army can't do it, and he hit a lot of nails in Hefei!Seeing Liu Bei swelling so much, Sun Quan must have been unhappy, so he took the incident of lending Liu Bei Nanjun a few years ago and asked Liu Bei for Changsha and Guiyang counties. So far, Sun Liu has realized the demarcation of Xiangshui and divided Jingzhou in the middle
Then from 218 AD to 219 AD, Liu Bei took Cao Cao Hanzhong northward, and Guan Yu in the direction of Jingzhou also went north to Xiangyang. Liu Bei's results are not small!Sun Quan beat Cao Wei Hefei, and hit a hard nail again, and he couldn't take it down!So he simply cooperated with Cao Cao on the attacked side, and Sun Quan once again attacked Liu Bei's only remaining three counties in Jingxi - Nanjun, Wuling, and Lingling!And in the next few years, Liu Bei was first attacked by Sun Quan in the direction of Jingzhou, and then defeated by Sun Quan again!It's so depressing!
Throughout the 11 years of Sun and Liu's cooperation, who made it to Liu Bei and Sun Quan?It's really hard to explain. Without Sun Quan's union, it is difficult to say whether Liu Bei grew stronger later. However, without Liu Bei's active westward expansion, it would be difficult for Sun Quan to gradually take Jingzhou later. It can only be said that in the face of Cao Wei, the Sun-Liu Alliance has earned. But who Sun and Liu suffer from each other and who earns is indeed an account that is difficult to even!
