The status of Jingzhou in the Three Kingdoms period is not trivial, and he is considered to be a place where soldiers must fight. Whether it is Cao Cao Liu Bei or Sun Quan, have been given this place. Jingzhou became the meat and potatoes at that time, and its geography, as well as its own size, have a lot to do with it. After all, being able to get Jingzhou was equivalent to getting half of the Three Kingdoms world. In terms of area, Jingzhou was very large during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Jingzhou is mainly divided into seven departments, of which the very famous Wuling, Changsha and so on are listed among them. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in great turmoil, so there was a place for all parties to compete with each other, and Jingzhou was one of the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty at that time. So its status was naturally extraordinary, and being able to get such a place was much more cost-effective than getting any small city.
The vast area was not the main reason why people fought over it. In ancient times, if you wanted to march and fight, you had to have brains and strategy, and if you went to occupy Jingzhou just for the sake of its large area, then such a leader would definitely be called a loser. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, three people are fighting for this place, naturally, because this place is too important, its geographic location is close, the geographic situation is steep, to get Jingzhou, conducive to their own attack on the world. Jingzhou is located in the plains of the two lakes, so the people in the city of Jingzhou live in abundance, if you take this place as one of their own base, then in the future casually when the war, food and pay is naturally not to worry about. Such a place is also a natural place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as it is bordered by the Khan Shui Da Arakan Mountain in the north, and Dabie Mountain and other natural mountain ranges in the east.
It would be difficult for the troops of other countries to involve themselves within Jingzhou City, and as a result, Jingzhou City was temporarily safe. In fact, all the forces want to fight for Jingzhou City, is not a day or two thing, Liu Bei once three times, as the greatest strategist at that time, Zhuge Liang once pointed out the importance of Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang that Jingzhou and Dongwu is geographically connected, and also with the Jianghan. When Cao Cao controlled the Central Plains, he wanted to pacify the world, but Cao Cao's basic control was only in the north. If he wanted to attack to the south, then he had to capture Jingzhou, but Yiling which was one of the biggest difficulties he faced. Jingzhou is too difficult for Cao Cao to capture, but for Wu, once Cao Cao captures it, he will have full control of Wu, and it will be even harder for him to turn around. That's why Wu has sent men to defend Jingzhou against Cao Cao's attack.
No matter which country you are in, Jingzhou's geographical location is extremely important, and only by capturing it will you be able to truly realize your desire to unify the world. But once one loses Jingzhou, then one's national security is threatened. For any monarch, they have the world in mind, and while attacking the world, they should at least maintain their own rear forces, so Jingzhou has become a place where soldiers must fight, and anyone who wants to break forward.
