The Battle of Jing Province (荊州の戦い, rōmaji: Keishū no Tatakai), also known as the Battle of Jing, refers to a series of conflicts fought for the domination of the southern province. It was one of the Nine Provinces, or one of the nine classic divisions, of China at the time. Each kingdom sought to control it completely for strategic value.

After, Cao Cao's defeat at the Battle of Chibi, and withdrawal from most of the province. Liu Bei and Sun Quan claimed two large sections of the province for themselves, splitting the province into three prominent sections.

During Guan Yu's absence due to Fan Castle, Lu Meng launched an invasion to take the province, and succeeded in doing so; Later, Liu Bei was defeated Yiling, and Shu lost their foothold in the area and Jing Province was held in contention between Wei and Wu.

Role in Games

 * "And thus, the time for quietly watching has past. We must retake the Jing Province."
 * ―Lu Xun; Dynasty Warriors 6

Dynasty Warriors
There are two distinct scenarios for the province in Dynasty Warriors 4. During Wu's story, players can participate in this battle as a special stage if they choose to unify Jiang Dong first in chapter 3. Sun Jian will then face all four adversaries in Jing at once, including generals such as Liu Yong and Yan Baihu. Doing so will allow his family to claim the land for themselves.

After Chi Bi, Liu Bei can charge here to defeat the four regional lords. If players choose to defeat Huang Zhong first, Wei Yan will kill the enemy commander to save the elder and they will join Shu.

In Dynasty Warriors Vol. 2, the stage appears as the "Annexation of Jing". In this scenario, Sun Quan attempts to conquer Jing province by defeating the four different warlords of the area. Each warlord also has their own strategy to deal with the Wu troops such as floods, fire attacks, rockslides and ambushes. Once most of the warlords are defeated, Liu Bei and Pang Tong will appear north of the Wu main camp to stake their claim for the province. Defeating either Liu Bei or the four warlords at the map's corners will end the stage.

In Dynasty Warriors 6, the battle takes place after Shu takes Jing province forcefully away from Wu and use it as the foothold of their kingdom. Shu badly wants to protect Jing, while Wu, the former owner of Jing, has decided to retake the Jing province.In Lu Bu's scenario, he and Diao Chan try to stop the combined forces of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei from taking the Imperial Seal out of Lu Bu's possession.

Dynasty Warriors 8 has the stage playable only on Wu's story. In the stage Guan Yu seizes the territory after Wu's hard-fought victory at Nanjun. If Lu Su makes it into the castle quickly, he can survive his illness. If the pincer attacks at Nanjun were successful, then Zhou Yu will also be present to aid the Wu forces.
