Cao Cao was able to retreat to Jiangling calmly after being defeated by Zhang Liao in Huarong Road, and was followed by Cao Ren, which was regarded as a temporary escape from danger. txt>

Afterwards, Cao Cao had no hope of winning. In addition, once the south was defeated, some old guys in Xuchang City began to move around again.

At the end of December in the eighth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led civil and military forces back to Xuchang, leaving only Cao Ren and Xu Huang to guard Jiangling, Yue Jin to guard Xiangyang, and went south to Jingzhou to fight. Cao Cao was defeated and lost the ability to expand in a short time. [

In the Battle of Chibi, the Guan Ping Group benefited the most. Because of Wei Yan and Qu Yi's competitive pursuit, most of the luggage discarded by Cao Jun along the road fell into Guan Ping's hands.

The land pursuit was dominated by Liu and Guan. In addition to sending Han Dang, Zhou Tai, and Sun Ben to pursue with Liu and Guan, Zhou Yu himself led the main force of the navy to pursue the remaining Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's troops along the Yangtze River.

And Gan Ning saw the remaining dozens of giant ships of the Jingzhou Navy, how could he not be jealous, once Cao Cao was broken, although the three alliances did not disintegrate, a situation of open and secret fighting had emerged.

At present, Gan Ning and others are the pioneers, and their positions are the most forward, so they have been leaving behind Zhou Yu's few ships, and are the tightest behind the remaining Jingzhou navy.

Guan and Sun's naval divisions chased Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's division day and night, and were caught up by Gan Ning and others at the position of Baqiu, and the Jiangdong naval division followed.

Relying on Gan Ning's quick strikes, Zhou Yu's large number of people allowed them to divide the remaining [-] warships of the Jingzhou Navy equally, and most of the large ships were acquired by Gan Ning.

Cai Mao was in the midst of the rebellion, because Zhou Yu would not shoot Ling Tong to death, while Zhang Yun, on the way to escape, was caught up by Gan Ning, who stabbed him in the chest and knew his life.

After eliminating Cai Hao and Zhang Yun's troops, Zhou Yu led his troops back to Jiangxi because of plotting Jingzhou, and directly entered Jiangling, stationed on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and confronted Cao Ren in Jiangling across the river; Gan Ning did not continue westward because of Guan Ping's request, but It was stationed in Baqiu on the spot to prepare soldiers, horses and ordnance.

Zhou Yu had some ideas about Nanjun, but Liu Bei, who had been spying on Jingzhou for a long time, was willing to fall behind. Immediately, he raised his troops and marched west. Because Cao Ren in Jiangling still had considerable strength, and the alliance between the two families was still unresolved, they decided to take it together. In Jiangling City, Liu Bei led Zhang Fei to lead [-] cavalry, and temporarily put them under Zhou Yu's command, while Zhou Yu dispatched [-] infantry to enrich Liu Bei's army.

Zhou Yu confronted Jiangling on the south bank of the Yangtze River, while Liu Bei detoured along the Xiashui River to Jiangling, occupying several counties in Linju and Jingyang to the west of the Hanshui River between Xiangyang and Jiangling, intending to prevent Cao Junle from advancing in Xiangyang City to support Cao Ren in Jiangling, and prepare Surround Cao Ren on all sides and catch the turtle in the urn.

When Liu and Sun's family were fighting Cao Ren in Jiangling, Guan Ping mobilized the whole army at this moment, and turned his spearhead to the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

Guan Ping first asked people to get in touch with Liu Pan in You County, but unexpectedly there was an accident, because Liu Biao, the sufferer, was dead, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were both dead. Lost the effect.

When Guan Ping sent an envoy to You County, he ordered Liu Pan to send troops to take Changsha and wait for Guan Ping's army to come to receive it; the latter took Changsha, but called himself Jingzhou Mu, and wanted to occupy Changsha to inherit his uncle's Jingzhou Foundation.

As everyone knows, Jingzhou Mu at this time is Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, who was supported by Liu Bei. Although the court did not officially promulgate it, Jingzhou scholars and people, even Liu, Guan, and Sun, all acquiesced.
