Most historical materials now basically separate the Battle of Chibi and the subsequent Battle of Gangneung as two wars, but I personally think that this is not rigorous and incorrect.

Both the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Gangneung were part of the Battle of Chibi-Gangneung, and both had very important significance, and the significance of the Battle of Gangneung cannot be ignored.

【Coalition Victory】

Although the battle of Chibi and the battle of Jiangling were basically in the limelight of the Jiangdong army, the importance of Liu Beijun in them could not be ignored, and the victory of these two crucial battles belonged to the coalition army as a whole.

Among them, Zhou Yu made great contributions and was the biggest contributor to the victory in these two battles. Although there was still Liu Beijun at that time, and the Jiangdong Army still had the right governor Cheng Pu, but from the records, the specific command was undoubtedly Zhou Yu, Huang Gai was a plan to surrender to Zhou Yu, and was finally recognized by Zhou Yu, and then the battle of Jiangling Gan Ning and Lu Meng also proposed directly to Zhou Yu, and finally the battle of Jiangling was also obvious Zhou Yu was the commander, so the biggest hero of the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Jiangling was undoubtedly Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu's prestige also reached its peak after these two battles.

Under the leadership of Zhou Yu, the Jiangdong army was strong and strong, and there was no doubt that it was the main force, it was the Jiangdong army that suppressed Cao Cao's army in the water battle, and it was also the Jiangdong army that burned Chibi, and it was they who defeated Cao Ren in Jiangling and expelled Cao Cao's army.

In general, in this war, the Sun-Liu coalition army was basically dominated by Jiangdong, with Zhou Yu as the commander-in-chief, and Liu Beijun was mostly assisted.

But this does not mean that Liu Beijun is not important, Liu Beijun's support was very important at that time. First of all, in terms of troops, Zhou Yu led not many Jiangdong troops, according to the "Three Kingdoms: Sun Quan Biography" records, Zhou Yu led 10,000 people, Cheng Pu led 10,000 people, a total of 20,000 people, and "Jiangbiao Biography" recorded that it is 30,000 people, at this time Liu Bei's 20,000 army is a very important supplement, otherwise in the face of Cao Cao's estimated army of at least 200,000 or more, the pressure on Zhou Yu and the Jiangdong army will be greater.

In the battle of Jiangling, Jiangling seems to have been fought independently by Zhou Yu and the army, but in fact, it was because Liu Bei and Guan Yu did a lot of hard work and tiring work, after all, Zhou Yu faced Cao Ren alone, and Liu Bei fought with Le Jin, Wen Ping, Xu Huang and later Li Tong, so Liu Bei and Guan Yu fought relatively poorly, and they were basically at a disadvantage, but in this case, Liu Bei and others still helped Zhou Yu buy time, but the ending was not very perfect, and Cao Ren still ran away, But it can also be seen that Liu Beijun's influence is not small.

On the whole, whether it is the Battle of Chibi or the Battle of Jiangling, it is the victory of the Sun-Liu Alliance, not just the result of the Jiangdong Army, although Liu Beijun is in an auxiliary position, it cannot be ignored.

【Battle of Chibi-Gangneung】

Historically, the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Jiangling were essentially part of a general battle, which was a decisive war belonging to the Sun-Liu Alliance and the Cao Cao group, and the Battle of Chibi was indeed important, but it did not represent the whole story.

At that time, the goal of the Sun-Liu alliance was of course to remove Cao Cao's imminent threat, and then to expel Cao Cao's forces from the south of the Yangtze River, both of which were necessary for the Sun-Liu Alliance, and both were indispensable, the Battle of Chibi completed the first goal, and the Battle of Jiangling completed the second goal, the victory of the Battle of Chibi alone did not remove the threat of Cao Cao's group to Jiangdong to Liu Bei, after the Battle of Jiangling, the threat of Cao Cao's group really came to an end.

The Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Jiangling were both part of the Battle of Chibi-Jiangling, with the Battle of Chibi repelling Cao Cao and removing the imminent threat of Cao Cao's army at the time, while the Battle of Jiangling cut off Cao Cao's claws north of the Yangtze River, allowing the Sun-Liu alliance to regain the defensive advantage of the Yangtze River.

Now the world forcibly separates the battle of Chibi and the battle of Jiangling, which is not correct, after the victory of the Sun-Liu coalition army in Chibi, they went down the river, began to further expel Cao Cao's forces, and expanded the results, until the battle of Jiangling was won, the confrontation between Cao Cao's army and the coalition army really came to an end, after the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao did retreat, but it does not mean that the Sun-Liu coalition army did not fight. Cao Cao's departure did not make Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and others complacent, so they took a step forward, on the contrary, they decisively took advantage of this opportunity, thus launching the Battle of Jiangling, driving Cao Cao's army back to the north completely, and stabilizing the Yangtze River.

Therefore, the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Jiangling are both battles, two key battles in a big war between the Sun-Liu coalition army and Cao Cao's army, the importance of the Battle of Chibi does not need to be said, the significance of the victory of the Battle of Jiangling is no less than that of Chibi, the victory of the Battle of Chibi alone has not completely changed the balance of strength between the two sides, Cao Cao did not lose Jingzhou after the defeat of the Battle of Chibi, and the harsh external environment of Sun Liu has not been fundamentally changed, if Zhou Yu and Liu Bei did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, then Cao Cao can make a comeback at any time when he occupies Jingzhou in the futureIn this way, Chibi's victory only delayed the time of Sun Liu's demise.

After Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi, the general trend of his domination of the world still exists, after all, Jingzhou is still in his hands, Cao Cao's forces still cross the Yangtze River, and the situation that the Sun-Liu Alliance lost the Yangtze River has not changed.

All of this was settled after the Battle of Jiangling, after which Cao Cao lost contact with the south of Jingzhou, lost all his territory south of the Yangtze River, and retracted his power to the north of the Yangtze River. The confrontation between Cao Cao and the Sun-Liu alliance across the river took shape, and the trend of Cao Cao's domination of the world was obviously interrupted at this time.

And when they won at Chibi, their victory was more like Cao Cao's idiot gave it to them. The two battles of the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Guandu actually illustrate a truth, defeating the strong with the weak is often not the weak who have played a miracle, but the strong who are fainting.

The Battle of Gangneung was a continuation of the Battle of Chibi and an extension of the victory of Chibi. These two battles are indispensable, without the Battle of Chibi there would be no Battle of Gangneung, without the victory of the Battle of Gangneung, the significance of the Battle of Chibi would also be greatly disgraced, now people are focusing on the Battle of Chibi and ignoring the significance of the Battle of Gangneung is not correct, and it is even more wrong to forcibly separate the war that is obviously two-in-one, these two battles are one.

Therefore, to be precise, the Battle of Chibi-Gangneung really laid the foundation for the future three points of the world, rather than the simple Battle of Chibi that changed all this.
