Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were both unexpected and unable to understand Liu Chan's answer.
"Adou, what do you mean? Liu Bei asked.
Liu Chan said without thinking:"It is better not to fight if we can. The Battle of Hanzhong lasted for two years. Even if Jingzhou had not participated before, it would be beneficial and harmless to continue to rest.""
"But if it is really unavoidable, it does not mean that it cannot be fought."
Liu Chan did not completely deny it, but held an"ambiguous" attitude.
"How to say? Liu Bei couldn't help but ask,"If the war starts at this time, Yizhou will not be able to give Jingzhou any support at all.""
Right now, Liu Bei can't even maintain his troops in Hanzhong, so he needs to get most of his people back to Shu and use the 'empty city strategy' to deal with it.
It can be seen that Shuzhong really has no money and food.
Naturally, in this case, After the war started in Jingzhou, Yizhou was unable to provide any support due to logistical problems.
"Father, you cannot support Father Zhong, but as long as you are in Hanzhong, you can continue to contain Cao Cao in Chang'an."Liu Chan talked eloquently,"Moreover, Zhongfu's attack brought Hanzhong a great victory."
"Cao Ren's army was newly defeated in Hanzhong. When the news spread back to China, people were inevitably panicked and it would definitely affect the morale of Cao Ren's men."
"Therefore, the advantage in this battle lies with me, and I am not completely defeated."
Liu Chan knew that Guan Yu was powerful in China. He won the Battle of Xiangfan at the beginning, and even Cao Cao was beaten so much that he wanted to move his capital.
It can be seen that there is no big problem in starting a war.
In other words, the key to the problem is not Cao Cao's side. , but on Soochow.
Thinking of this, Liu Chan continued:"If we really want to start a war, we should be careful to guard against Jiangdong.""
"What does this mean? Zhuge Liang asked:"Does Adou think Jiangdong will be interested in Jingzhou?""
"Cao and Sun join forces? Not so much..."Liu Bei also had reservations
"Why not?"Liu Chan asked back:"Doesn't my father still think that the two families are allies? Regarding the demarcation of the Xiangshui River, can't the father and the king still recognize the reality?"
Liu Bei's face darkened. It was not against Liu Chan, but because of the demarcation of the Xiangshui River.
Borrow Jingzhou!
It was precisely because of this old bad debt that a series of subsequent events ended with the demarcation of the Xiangshui River. The original Battle of Chibi After the war, the seven counties of Jingzhou were divided among the three families of Cao, Liu and
Sun. Cao Cao occupied Nanyang County and Nanjun.
Liu Bei got the four counties south of the Yangtze River, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling.
Sun Quan got Jiangxia County, and then Zhou Yu took Nanjun from Cao Ren..
At this point, the territory of Jingzhou was finalized, with Cao Cao in the north, Sun Quan in the middle, and
Liu Bei in the south. In this way, the Nanjun controlled by Sun Quan was sandwiched between Cao and Liu.
Liu Bei had the Yangtze River as a barrier and could develop with peace of mind. On the contrary, Sun Quan, who obtained Nanjun, had to bear the pressure of Cao Cao's military attack and block all threats for Liu Bei.
When Jiangdong saw that this was not possible, they became Liu Bei's shield.
It happened that Liu Bei wanted to enter Shu, but he needed to borrow a way from Nanjun.
Lu Su then took the opportunity to suggest to Sun Quan that he should simply leave the hot potato of Nanjun to Liu Bei.
He called it"borrowing Jingzhou".
In this way, he would not only sell Liu Bei a favor, but also allow Liu Bei to resist the threat of Cao Jun head-on. Jiangdong would return to Jiangxia and sit on the mountain. Watching the tiger fight.
Then the two sides hit it off. Liu Bei thought that he would pick up Nanjun for nothing, and it would also be convenient for him to march into Shuzhong.
But when Liu Bei succeeded in taking Shuzhong, Sun Quan became jealous again, and wanted to take Nanjun back.
Liu Bei was naturally not happy. Once Nanjun was gone, the four counties of Yizhou and Jingnan would no longer be able to border each other. The territory would be cut off and divided into two pieces. He certainly could not return Nanjun to Sun Quan. He made an excuse to capture Liangzhou and then return Nanjun to him. To Sun Quan.
Of course Sun Quan was unwilling, so he sent troops to Jiangxia and prepared for war.
Liu Bei led his troops out of Shu to support Guan Yu, and the Sun and Liu families almost went to war in Jingzhou.
At this time, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Hanzhong and easily defeated Zhang Lu.
Liu Bei saw that the situation was not good, so he had no choice but to negotiate peace with Sun Quan due to the situation.
The result was the demarcation of the Xiang River, splitting Jingzhou into two parts along the Xiang River.
Liu Bei occupied Nanjun, Wuling, and Lingling, while Sun Quan occupied Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang.
In short, Liu Bei did not return Nanjun to Sun Quan, but compensated Sun Quan for the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang.
It is equivalent to exchanging two counties for one Nanjun. The matter ends here, but the Sun and Liu families are here After that, they broke up and officially turned against each other.
It can be said that after the demarcation of the Xiangshui River, the Sun-Liu alliance existed in name only. However, because Cao Cao, the great enemy, was still there, both sides still maintained a certain degree of restraint.
But in this case , then Jiangdong cannot be regarded as an ally, but as a potential enemy.
"Father, sir."Liu Chan said in a deep voice:"Cao, Liu and Sun stand on three pillars, one is declining and the other is growing."
"When Cao Cao becomes powerful, the Sun and Liu families can join forces"
"Now that we have won the Battle of Hanzhong and the momentum is booming, it is not necessarily impossible for the Cao and Sun families to join forces. You must know that these two families are also related by marriage."
"In addition, there is also the evil of"borrowing Jingzhou", so we have to guard against it!"
After the words fell, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, and they both saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
