Geographically speaking, the lower part of Nanyang County (to the south) is Nanjun, and the governing place of Nanjun (the center of a country is called the capital, and the center of a county is called the governing place) is in Jiangling, which is the Jiangling of Li Bai's poem "A thousand miles away in Jiangling, and it will be returned in one day".
Xiangyang is the northernmost part of Nanjun, belonging to Nanjun, at the junction of Nanjun and Nanyang. Xiangyang is an important town in the Three Kingdoms. If Jingzhou is a battleground for military strategists, then Xiangyang is its top priority.
Here, Sun Jian attacked Liu Biao, besieged Xiangyang, rode alone on the fairy mountain, and was shot dead by Huang Zu. Then Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, beheaded Pound, locked him in the Forbidden City, and trapped Cao Ren (next to Fancheng and Xiangyang). Soldiers pointed at Xudu and Cao Wei, and World War I had a great influence on China.
Affiliation:
Jingzhou has seven counties under its jurisdiction: Nanyang County, Nanjun County, Jiangxia County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Lingling County and Changsha County.
Counties below Nanjun: Jiangling, Xiangyang, Huarong (Cao Cao defeated Huarong Road), Dangyang (Dangyang Bridge and Changbanpo are all here), and Public Security.
Xiangyang has a large area and a deep city, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. When Liu Biao and Guan Yu controlled Jingzhou, they both lived in Xiangyang for a long time to resist attacks from the north. Jiangling, as the center of a rear base camp, plays the role of supply and is easy to control Jingzhou.
Zhou Yu fought against Jiangling in Nanjun. Coss was stationed at that time, and Cao Cao had already retreated to the north. Later, Coss could not resist and retreated to Xiangyang.
Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Wu Dong, which is actually the south county, and then Liu Bei laid the following four counties (the south) by virtue of the south county. The satrap of Jiangxia County was originally held by Liu Qi, and Liu Bei was in charge after Liu Qi's death. Since then, Liu Bei has obtained seven counties in Jingzhou except Nanyang County, the northernmost county, and generally controlled Jingzhou.
Extended data:
First, the origin of Jingxiang nine counties
"Jingxiang Nine Counties" is a well-known concept of historical geography, especially popular in the historical cognition of the masses who love the current affairs of the Three Kingdoms. However, this concept is not a contemporary language, but a vocabulary created by later generations in their artistic creation by tracing the situation at that time, which has always influenced people's historical cognition.
The word "Jingxiang Nine Counties" first appeared in the scripts of Yuan Zaju. Gao Wenxiu is a writer of Yuan Zaju, known as "Little Han Qing", who is good at writing Water Margin Opera and Three Kingdoms Opera. Among his scripts handed down from ancient times, there is a script called Xiangyang Society, and some fragments of it, such as "I want to send books to Jingzhou for grazing, and Liu Biao is my kinsman, guarding the nine counties of Jingxiang", and there is a saying of "nine counties of Jingxiang".
In addition, Gao Wenxiu used "Jingxiang Nine Counties" and similar expressions in more than one place in the script of Xiangyang Hui. These story fragments using "Jingxiang Nine Counties" can be roughly located in the period when Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou, and "Jingxiang Nine Counties" is actually synonymous with Jingzhou.
Popular works such as novels that appeared after Gao Wenxiu's zaju also used the word "Jingxiang Nine Counties" one after another. For example, the earliest existing Jiajing edition of Ming Dynasty, Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms, inherited this usage when it was processed and created on the basis of Yuan dialect:
Although there are three problems, (Fu) Xun has a plan to make the name of Jingxiang Nine Counties as safe as Mount Tai ... You can dedicate the army of Jingxiang Nine Counties to Tsao Kung, who will be more important to the master. ...
Other collected works and popular works that appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, such as Meng Chengshun's Juanjiang Collection and an unknown person's Keeping the Military Strategy in the World, also use "Jingxiang Jiujun" when it comes to current affairs in the Three Kingdoms:
The next day, the congregation will gather the three armies, worship the wise men, and command the Marshal of the Ninth Army of Jingxiang County. ...
Guan Gongyu, whose name is Yunchang, is a native of Hedong, a general of the former Han Dynasty, a false festival, a satrap of nine counties in Jingxiang, and a strong Miao Hanshou Hou Ting.
In the Qing Dynasty, the novel "Little Wuyi" was not only limited to the current affairs of the Three Kingdoms, but also used the word "nine counties in Jingxiang" as the theme.
From this point of view, by the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the word "Jingxiang Nine Counties" had been widely circulated and gradually accepted by people, and it is still used as a seemingly reasonable concept of historical geography. However, this concept is unreasonable. At best, it is only "taking the present generation as the past", and the historical geography concept of later generations will describe the historical geography situation at that time.
The emergence of this concept is through popular scripts, novels and other historical deductive carriers. As far as I can see, it has never appeared in official history. If we really want to trace back to the establishment of administrative divisions in the Three Kingdoms period, we can easily find that the title of "Jingxiang Nine Counties" is difficult to establish.
Second, during the Three Kingdoms period, the owner of Jingzhou experienced the following eight stages of change:
1, first Liu Biao, basically occupied nine counties. Shortly before his death, Sun Quan defeated his subordinate Huang Zu and won Jiangxia County South.
2. After Liu Biao's death, Liu Cong, the son of Liu Biao, returned to the nine counties in Jingzhou.
3. Cao Cao invaded Jingzhou and occupied four counties in northern Jingzhou. Liu Cong then surrendered to Cao Cao with four counties in the south of Jingzhou, making eight counties in Jingzhou belong to Cao Cao, Liu Qi (and Liu Bei) occupied Jiangxia Xiakou, and Sun Quan occupied most Jiangxia counties in the south of the Yangtze River.
4. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Sun Quan and Liu Bei captured Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang and Wuling in the south of Jingzhou, while Cao Cao occupied Nanyang, Xiangyang and Nanxiang in the north of Jingzhou, and then extended a part of Jiangxia in the north of the Yangtze River. Chibi belonged to Sun Quan before.
At the suggestion of Lu Su, Liu Bei went to Wudong to see Sun Quan and asked Sun Quan to borrow the land in Jingzhou. This is the origin of "borrowing Jingzhou", so Liu Bei occupied five counties in the south of Jingzhou and Xiakou City in Jiangxia, Cao Cao occupied Nanyang County, Xiangyang County and Nanxiang County in the north of Jingzhou, plus part of Jiangxia, and Sun Quan occupied part of Jiangnan in Jiangxia.
6. After Liu Bei occupied Xichuan, Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong and threatened Xichuan, so Liu Bei made peace with Sun Quan. Jiangxia, Guiyang and Changsha belong to Sun Quan and Nanjun, Lingling and Wuling belong to Liu Bei. Nanyang County, Xiangyang County and Nanxiang County, plus a part of Jiangxia, all belong to Cao Cao.
7. Lv Meng attacked Jingzhou, Guan Yu was captured and killed, and Jiangxia, Guiyang, Changsha, Nanjun, Lingling and Wuling were returned to Wu Dong. Nanyang County, Xiangyang County and Nanxiang County, plus a part of Jiangxia, all belong to Cao Cao. Liu Bei's troops completely withdrew from Jingzhou.
8. At the end of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yan established the Jin Dynasty, and then began the battle to destroy the State of Wu. Sun Hao, the Lord of Wu, surrendered and Jingzhou returned to Jin.
