To avenge the execution of his sworn brother Guan Yu after Fancheng (219), Liu Bei of Shu led a large army against Sun Quan of Wu. An extended campaign along the Yangzi around Yiling (modern Yichang) saw Liu Bei and his commander Huang Quan decisively defeated by the brilliant young Lu Xun. Victory secured Wu’s control of Jingzhou and led to uneasy peace between Wu and Shu.
