江陵 / Jiangling (late Han)

江陵 / Jiangling (late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 969 as the strategic seat of Nanjun inside 荆州. The episode uses Jiangling to explain why Jingzhou becomes so valuable in the Three Kingdoms field: from Jiangling, a power can move upstream toward 益州 or downstream toward 扬州.

The source treats Jiangling as a corridor-control node rather than a standalone urban biography. Its value is directional: holding it changes what campaigns are possible along the Yangtze and helps explain why later 曹操, 刘备, and Sun-family actors struggle over Jingzhou.
