“借荆州”三辨

Analysis on "Lending Jingzhou"

考诸史料,"借荆州"实有其事,不光孙吴如是说,刘备、曹魏也不否认,陈寿、司马光亦予肯定。"借荆州"指孙权将南郡的江陵、夷陵等地交由刘备管辖和认可刘备对"江南四郡"的占领;将南郡江陵之地称荆州为当时的习惯。之所以要"借荆州",是因为赤壁之战后刘备失去了在孙刘联盟中与孙权的平等地位,荆州事务的处置权不属荆州牧刘备而属徐州牧孙权,刘备通过"借荆州"摆脱孙权的限制,使自己"名"与"实"统一。

Assorting to historical data, the fact ＂lending Jingzhou＂ was in existence, which was admitted by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Chert Shou and Sima Guang. ＂Lennding Jingzhou＂ refers to the fact that Sun Quan put Jiangling, Yiling etc. under Liu Bei＇ s administration and admitted Liu Bei＇ s occupation of four counties of Jiangnan. The reasons are, after the Red Cliff Battle, Liu Bei lost the equal footing in Sun Quan and Liu Bei Coalition, resulting in disposition transfer to Xuzhou＇ s Sun Quan , instead of Jingzhou＇ s Liu Bei. By means of ＂lending Jingzhou＂, Liu Bei got rid of Sun Quan＇ s restraint and realized the unification between ＂name＂ and ＂reahty＂.
