At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou became a place of contention for Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei and other powerful people. Liu Biao governed Jingzhou and entrusted Jiangxia County to Huang Zu. However, before and after the Battle of Chibi, Jiangxia County experienced the change of four Taishou, and was born due to the momentum of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. The reason for this is not only because of the important geographical location of Jiangxia County, but also because of the three-legged fighting situation.
1. Huang Zu guards Jiangxia: a family that rose in the war.
Huang Zu was born in a Jingzhou family, and under the rule of Liu Biao, he became the Taishou of Jiangxia. In 191 AD, he fought with Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, and Huang Zu's subordinates shot Sun Jian to death, forming a deep feud. In 196 AD, Sun Ce conquered six counties in Jiangdong, and Yangzhou bordered Jiangxia County. Huang Zu fought repeatedly in the Battle of Jiangxia, defeating Ling Cao, Xu Kun and others, and won praise. However, in the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), he was defeated and died in a battle with Sun Quan, and failed to keep Jiangxia County, especially after the Battle of Chibi, the eastern part of Jiangxia County was captured by Eastern Wu.
In 208 AD, Sun Quan appointed Cheng Pu as the Taishou of Jiangxia, and his governance was in Shaxian. Sun Ce's victory led Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi, to attempt to succeed Jiangxia Taishou, but northern Jingzhou quickly fell into Cao Cao's hands. Liu Qi, who could not control Jiangxia, garrisoned troops in Hanjin and joined Liu Bei, who had escaped from Cao Cao, to ask Sun Quan for help.
Second, the three-legged stand: Jiangxia County has become the focus of contention.
Cao Cao occupied the northern part of Jiangxia County and appointed Wen Ping as the Taishou, and Liu Biao's old general became the Jiangxia Taishou after switching to Cao Cao. After the Battle of Chibi, Jiangxia County was divided into three, and the three Taishou of Cheng Pu, Liu Qi, and Wenpin were guarded separately. During this time, Jiangxia County's status became more and more prominent.
3. Jiangxia County changed hands: Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei conspired with disputes.
In 208 AD, Liu Bei and Sun Quan joined forces to win the Battle of Chibi, and Cao Cao was defeated. However, Cao Cao still occupied northern Jingzhou, such as the northern part of Jiangxia County, which was guarded by Wenpin. In 209 AD, Zhou Yu repelled Cao Ren and won the Battle of Nanjun. After Liu Qi died of illness, Liu Bei occupied the western part of Jiangxia County. In 210 AD, Liu Bei borrowed Nanjun from Sun Quan, exchanged it with Sun Quan, and returned the western part of Jiangxia County to Eastern Wu, forming a situation of confrontation between the north and the south.
Fourth, Jingzhou three points: Cao Wei and Dongwu fought for Jiangxia County.
In 215 AD, Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to attack Jingzhou, kill Guan Yu, and capture Nanjun, Lingling County, and Wuling County. Most of Jingzhou fell into the hands of Eastern Wu, while Cao Wei still controlled the northern part of Jingzhou, such as the northern part of Jiangxia County, Nanyang County, etc. It was not until 280 A.D. that the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Wu, and Jiangxia County was included in Jingzhou, and the historical picture scroll that had gone through waves finally came to an end.
This article presents in detail the changes in Jingzhou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, with a special focus on the battle situation in Jiangxia County. Since Liu Biao handed over Jiangxia County to Huang Zu, we have witnessed the competition of Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei and other powerful in this land, forming a three-legged pattern of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Through the narration of historical events, the author transports the reader into an era full of wars, intrigues, and changes.
First of all, by introducing Huang Zu's background, the article reveals that he came from a local family in Jingzhou, as well as his deep enmity with Sun Jian. This laid the groundwork for the development of the subsequent war, and made readers pay more attention to the battle for Jiangxia County. Huang Zu's performance in the Battle of Jiangxia demonstrated his military talent and prestige on the battlefield. However, he was ultimately defeated and killed in the battle with Sun Quan, leaving the eastern part of Jiangxia County in the hands of Eastern Wu.
Second, the article describes the role of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and other characters in the battle for Jiangxia County. Cao Cao sent Wen to be appointed as Taishou, Liu Qi tried to replace Huang Zu, and Liu Bei, after the loss of northern Jingzhou, joined Liu Qi and asked Sun Quan for help. This series of events complicated and varied the rule of Jiangxia County, with the emergence of three taishou and the formation of a three-legged situation, highlighting the importance of Jiangxia County in the geopolitics of the time.
Furthermore, the article describes the three-point pattern of Jiangxia County after the Battle of Chibi. Liu Bei and Sun Quan joined forces to claim victory, with Cao Cao retaining control of northern Jingzhou and Sun Quan using Liu Bei's power to capture Nanjun. The changes in this period caused the confrontation between the north and south of Jiangxia County, laying the groundwork for the subsequent drastic changes.
Finally, the article leads to the situation of Jingzhou's three points. Sun Quan successfully captured Nanjun, Lingling County, and Wuling County, bringing the power of Eastern Wu in Jingzhou to its peak. However, Cao Wei still held the northern part of Jingzhou, including the northern part of Jiangxia County, Nanyang County, etc. Through the interpretation of historical events one by one, the whole article presents the turbulent situation in Jingzhou during this period, and depicts a magnificent historical picture.
Overall, this article vividly shows the power struggle between Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei and other powerful forces in Jingzhou's history, as well as the important position of Jiangxia County in this struggle. In reading, readers seem to travel to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and feel that era full of war and resourcefulness.
