横江 / Hengjiang (late Han)

横江 / Hengjiang (late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 992 as the key crossing-point objective that 吴景 has failed to take and 孙策 uses as the public reason to begin his Jiangdong move. The episode says Sun Ce’s later capture of Hengjiang and nearby points causes Fan Neng and Zhang Ying to flee.

The source presents Hengjiang as the practical threshold between a nominal rescue mission and real base-building. Once Sun Ce controls the crossing, the Jiangdong campaign has a usable route, a victory signal, and the beginning of a local power base.
