Lost Jingzhou: What tricks did Sun Quan use to kill Guan Yu and seize Jingzhou?

Jingzhou's ownership has always been the weakness of Sun-Liu Alliance. Because of its strategic position, Jingzhou has become the focus of contradiction between Sun and Liu. Liu Bei marched into Bashu with Jingzhou, and Sun Quan wanted to become the imperial capital according to Jingchu. In the end, Sun Quan took advantage of the emptiness behind Guan Yu and easily won Jingzhou. In order to capture Jingzhou, Sun Quan spent ten years planning. So what tricks did he use?

First, Liu Biao, the secretariat of Jingzhou in the 13th year of Jian 'an, died. Sun Quan took Lu Su's suggestion to Liu Hangbiao to explore the reality. As a result, Lu Su had already occupied Jingzhou before Cao Cao, Liu Cong surrendered and Liu Bei fled. At this time, Sun Quan had to unite with Liu Bei against Cao Jun. Sun Quan's original intention was to get along with him and form a good alliance. If there is any deviation, it is advisable not to draw it to help the great event. Battle of Red Cliffs and Cao Cao were defeated, and Sun and Liu United to recover a large area of Jingzhou. Liu Bei recommended Sun Quan as Xuzhou Pastoral, and Sun Quan said that Liu Bei was Jingzhou Pastoral. Sun Quan thinks that Liu Bei is lean, but he is weak and can't compare with Dongwu. It is better to give Jingzhou to Liu Bei than to Cao Cao temporarily, so Liu Bei's grazing of Jingzhou is actually under the control of Sun Quan, which is the root of the saying of borrowing Jingzhou.

Second, although Liu Bei took the false road as the master of Jingzhou, he did not completely own Jingzhou, so he had to conquer Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling to expand his territory. Sun Quan took a fancy to Liu Bei's strength and wanted to borrow Xichuan. It was a wrong way to cut Jingzhou, but it failed. According to the biography of the Three Kingdoms and Liu Bei, the son of heaven wanted to send messengers to take Shu, or it was appropriate to report it, but he dared not go beyond Jing to get Shu. It means that Sun Quan wants to send troops to take Shu and Liu Bei as the leader, so he sends an envoy to inform Liu Bei. Liu Bei says: If you are Wu Xianfeng, you can't conquer Shu and retreat to Wu, that is, things will go. Today, I can praise him for cutting Shu, but I said that the new county has not moved, and Wu dare not surpass me and take Shu alone. This kind of advance and retreat can benefit Wu and Shu. Yin Guan's words coincided with Liu Bei's, so Yin Guan was promoted. Di Xian Chun Qiu said that Sun Quan wanted to take Western Shu with Liu Bei, and Sun Quan said that if Cao Cao took Western Shu, Jingzhou would be in danger. If we unify Wu Chu, we have nothing to worry about. At this time, Sun Quan always thought that Liu Bei was living under the fence, so he sent Zhou Yu to lead the army through Xiakou, but he didn't know that Liu Bei had his own plans. On the surface, he said: if you want to take Shu, you will send me to the mountains and keep your promise to the world. Guan Yu was secretly sent to live in Jiangling, Zhang Fei was stationed in Zigui, and Zhuge Liang occupied Nanjun, breaking Sun Quan's plan.

Third, the honey trap Sun Quan was used twice, once for Liu Bei and once for Guan Yu. Liu Bei's Biography of the Three Kingdoms said: Qi died of illness, and his ancestors were pushed down by the ministers to shepherd Jingzhou to rule public order. The right side is a little scared, and my sister is very practical. Sun Quan was afraid that Liu Bei-nan would conquer four counties and become the master of Jingzhou, so he betrothed his sister to Liu Bei. Sun Quan's original intention was to stabilize Liu Bei and borrow Liu Bei's power to take Bashu from the west. As a result, I lost my wife and my soldiers. This plan didn't work for Liu Bei. It was not until I used it on Guan Yu that Sun Quan realized that he was in a greater embarrassment. According to the biography of Guan Yu in the reflection of the three kingdoms, the right envoy was a son named Suo Yu, who scolded and humiliated his envoy, forbade marriage and made Quan furious. The details of Guan Yu's abuse were added to the romance: I, the tiger girl, would like to marry a dog!

Fourth, in the 19th year of Jian 'an, Liu Bei won Yizhou, so Sun Quan naturally wouldn't watch Liu Bei become bigger and stronger, so he sent Zhu Gejin to win Jingzhou. Liu Bei deliberately delayed on the pretext of winning Liangzhou and returning Jingzhou. Sun Quan refused to submit and sent officials directly to take over Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang counties. Because of Guan Yu's obstruction, Sun Quan's plan failed, so Lu Su and Monroe were sent to take the three counties by force, and Liu Bei was furious and dispatch troops was on the fifth road. The two sides called a truce and made up. It is reasonable to say that Liu Bei is a shepherd in Jingzhou, but it depends on Sun Quan to get here today, so people are under the eaves and guests are at home.

Fifth, in the dispute of stealing three counties, Sun Quan asked Lu Su to lead the troops to stop Guan Yu in Yiyang and secretly sent Monroe to seize three counties. Changsha and Guiyang collapsed in the wind. At this time, Sun Quan ordered Monroe to give up Lingling and quickly rescue Lu Su. Monroe passed the lobbyists in Lingling that night and persuaded Hope to surrender out of thin air. When Hope surrendered, Monroe clapped her hands and laughed, and deliberately showed Hope Sun Quan's instructions. When Hao Pu learned about Liu Bei, Sun Liu later negotiated with him, and Hao Pu was released to Liu Bei, so his situation can be imagined.

Sixth, after the border was demarcated by Tomochika, Sun and Liu were still heavily guarded. At this time, Sun Quan seems to have turned his face. According to the biography of the Three Kingdoms and Sun Quan, in the spring of 22 years, Xu Xiangyi was given the right to surrender, the communique was reconciled, and she vowed to remarry. There was a rift in the alliance between Sun and Liu, and Cao Cao naturally wanted it, so he levied Shu on a large scale and sent Coss to beg Guan Yu. Unexpectedly Coss was besieged by Guan Yu. In twenty-four years, Guan Yu surrounded Coss in Xiangyang, fearing feathers in his power and thinking about his own merits outside, and wrote to Cao Gong to beg for help. Guan Yu attacked Fancheng and escaped the ban of Pound's sublime China. At the same time of his successive victories, Sun Quan took the initiative to attack Guan Yu's rear, which kept him from beginning to end.

Seventh, in order to get rid of Guan Yu's vigilance, Lv Meng deliberately pretended to be ill and asked Sun Quan to order him to return to Beijing for illness, and transferred some troops to paralyze Guan Yu. Even so, Guan Yu didn't let his guard down, but just withdrew to Fan (Biography of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Meng). Sun Quan and Lv Meng saw Guan Yu's plan and began to implement the next one.

Eighth, Monroe quickly organized well-trained soldiers to put on civilian clothes, rowed commercial cargo ships, raided Guan Yu's riverside post, and captured Gong 'an and Nanjun alive without firing a shot, and captured Sergeant Ren He and Guan Yu's wife and family Mi Fang alive. So the morale of attacking Fancheng plummeted, and Guan Yu was defeated by Wu Wei. When she learned that the emissary who was attacked in the rear came to ask, Monroe deliberately beheaded a fellow villager with tears in her eyes.

The ninth plan, hiding the knife in the smile is not good for Guan Yu, and Sun Quan gave birth to another plan. In Yunnan, Guan Yu surrounded Fancheng, and Sun Quan volunteered to send troops to help, but ordered the troops to March slowly. Knowing that Sun Quan was insincere, Guan Yu scolded: If you dare to pull Fan Cheng out, I can't destroy your evil! Although Sun Quan couldn't hold back his face, he forced a smile and wrote a book to Guan Yu personally, saying that he was willing to use his personal expedition to help Guan Gong Yu Coss. In fact, at this time, Sun Quan has taken refuge in Cao Cao, and everyone with a discerning eye can see his meaning.

Tenth, if Jingzhou is captured at all costs, Sun Quan can keep Guan Yu alive, which can not only maintain the alliance between Sun and Liu, but also realize the long-cherished wish of reunification. However, Sun Quan did not take a long-term view. After Guan Yu put up a white flag to show his surrender, he sent P Ran and Pan Zhang to cut off his way home. Whether Guan Yu is true or not, there is no need to kill him and give his head to Cao Cao. No wonder Cao Cao said: The river is on my side.

Sun Quan tried his best to get Jingzhou, but the authorities tried their best and were finally cheated by Sima Yi and Jiang Ji. Jingzhou made the Sun-Liu Alliance and accelerated the end of the Three Kingdoms era.
