Was it really wrong for Lu Su to borrow Liu Bei s land?

There is nothing wrong with that, because if Liu Bei's land is not borrowed, Eastern Wu will have to face Cao Cao's threat directly, and lending Jingzhou to Liu Bei will give Eastern Wu and Cao Cao a buffer zone.

is wrong, Jingxiang Nine Counties can be said to be a battleground for soldiers, and it is precisely with Jingxiang Nine Counties that Shu Han has the confidence to unify the Central Plains.

In my opinion, Lu Su's approach is correct, because with this premise, there will be the stability of the Sun-Liu alliance and the safety of Jiangdong.

Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, but he borrowed but did not pay it back, why did Lu Su persuade Sun Quan to lend land to Liu Bei? Liu Bei also planned to attack Yizhou in accordance with Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Strategy", dissuading Sun Quan on the grounds of Bashu's precipitous terrain, high mountains and long roads, and Cao's threat. Zhou Yu planned to capture Yizhou, so he sent troops from Jiangling to the west.

Unfortunately, he became very ill and died soon after. Sun Quan sent sailors back to the western sky. Liu Bei led Guan Zhang Er to guard the important places along the river and block the western waterway of the Wu army.

Sun Quan was forced to recall his navy. After Zhou Yu's death, Lu Su took over Zhou Yu's army and again persuaded Sun Quan to lend Nanjun to Liu Bei.

Growing tensions between the two sides have eased for the time being. So, when Lu Su knew that Liu Bei intended to seize the whole of Jingzhou and could not repay it, why did he insist that Sun Quan lend him the Southern Army? Why did Zhou Yu and Lu Fan strongly oppose the giving of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Jiangling) to Liu Bei?

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Su is a "faithful elder", but in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, he is a visionary and extraordinary figure, whether in words and deeds or writing articles, his views are deeper than others, and his strategic vision is more long-term. It is known that Lu Su was the most talented and resourceful commander-in-chief after Zhou Yu. After the Battle of Chibi, Cao was defeated and retreated north with the remnants of his army.

Although he could not go south for the time being, there was no substantial change in the balance of power between him and Sun Quan.

Both economically and militarily, Cao's forces in the vast north far exceeded those of Sun Quan in the east. At that time, Liu Bei also gradually gained a foothold in Jingzhou. Taking advantage of the gap left by Cao Cao's hasty flight to the north, he preemptively occupied the four counties of Jingnan.

The development of Liu Bei's army in Jingzhou became an obstacle to Sun Quan's westward conquest of Yizhou. In the face of Cao Liu's threat, what kind of countermeasures to take was an important issue that Sun Wu's regime had to face and quickly solve after the Red Cliff War. Liu Bei happened to visit Sun Quan in Jiangdong and asked for a temporary distribution of some of Sun Wu's land in northern Jingzhou.

As a result, there are serious disagreements within Sun Quan's group over how to deal with Jingzhou's decision. Zhou Yu, Lu Fan, Zhang Zhao, and others opposed the awarding of Jingzhou to Liu Bei. Zhou Yu advocated using the "beauty trick" to imprison Liu Bei in Jiangdong.

General Lü Fan even insisted that Liu Bei should be detained. The fire between Sun and Liu is coming. Lu Su was the only one who stood up for dissent and opposed the destruction of the lands of the two alliances.

He believed that Cao's "real power" and coveting Jiangzuo's heart would not die, and he was still the main enemy threat to Jiangdong. By lending land to Liu Bei, Cao was actually building enemies and gaining allies for himself. This would distract Cao's military pressure from Jiangdong, relieve and divert his attention, and thus avoid both sides being attacked by the enemy and both being defeated by Cao.

That's right. Liu Bei already needed a base area, and the troops were all nearby at that time, but he was too benevolent to start, so Lu Su did a favor.

There's nothing wrong with that. At that time, Liu Bei had already occupied the four counties of Jingzhou, and if Lu Su did not lend it to Liu Bei, there would be a war between the two sides.

No, lending Liu Bei land was the only way to facilitate the alliance between Shu Han and Eastern Wu, otherwise Eastern Wu would soon be destroyed by Cao Wei.

In 210 AD, in order to gain a foothold in order to develop, Liu Bei personally went to Jingkou to meet Sun Quan, and asked the governor of Jingzhou and borrowed Jingzhou Nanjun. On the question of whether to borrow Jingzhou, Lu Su's strategy is even more clever than others. Zhou Yu strongly objected, and only Lu Su advocated lending Jingzhou to Liu Bei, and Sun Quan adopted Lu Su's suggestion.

When Cao Cao heard the news that Sun Quan had lent Jingzhou to Liu Bei, he was writing a document with a pen, and was speechless for a long time, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground. It can be seen that lending Jingzhou to Liu Bei can not only disperse Cao Cao's forces, but also continue to unite Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao, which is strategically extremely disadvantageous to Cao.
