Pang Tong, as the military advisor of the army, first stood up and bowed: "Lord, everyone, everyone just mentioned knowing themselves and knowing their opponents, I will first calculate for you the number of soldiers and horses that my three counties of Lujiang can be dispatched to attack Jiangdong and the number of soldiers and horses of the various armies in Jiangdong. ”

"First of all, the soldiers and horses of Lujiang County, the 10,000 pro-army under General Yang Zaixing, the 20,000 wolf troops under the command of General Zhang Xutuo, and the 10,000 naval troops under the command of General Huang are all ready for a big battle, and these 40,000 soldiers and horses can be used to attack Jiangdong. In addition to these soldiers and horses, Lujiang County also has 5,000 county soldiers and 4,000 garrisons stationed in Juchao and Lu'an, now Cao Cao has poured his army north, there is no spare energy to take care of my Jianghuai land, the 4,000 garrisons stationed in Lu'an can be transferred to the area of Shu County, with these more than 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed, Lujiang County will be safe. ”

"Then there are the soldiers and horses of Jiujiang County, including 20,000 tiger troops under General Li Siye, 10,000 Shouchun troops under General Huo Jun and 5,000 county soldiers under Jiujiang County; Although Cao Cao had already poured his army north, there were still many garrisons in Xuzhou, and Guangling Chen Deng was also eyeing him, so a considerable number of soldiers and horses must be left in Jiujiang County. In my opinion, at least more than 10,000 soldiers and horses must be left in Jiujiang County to deter the enemy troops living in Xuzhou and Guangling, and only the 20,000 tiger troops under the command of General Li Siye can be dispatched to attack Jiangdong. ”

"Then there are the soldiers and horses in Jiangxia County, including 20,000 Longxiang troops under General Wei Yan, 20,000 Hengjiang troops under General Zhang Dingbian, 10,000 An troops under General Su Fei, and 5,000 county soldiers in Jiangxia County, a total of 55,000 soldiers and horses."

"General Mao has already said before that Liu Biao of Jingzhou visited Jiangdong with Iraqi nationality as an envoy, and he is suspected of having the intention of forming an alliance, and in my opinion, this matter should be true. Now that Jiangdong is in civil strife, the lord's intention to attack Jiangdong and unify Yangzhou is well known. Jingzhou is weak, and the lord can take a county from Jingzhou with the military strength of two counties, and repel the counterattack of the Jingzhou army, Liu Jingsheng and Jingzhou Wenwu will definitely be very jealous of the lord. If the Lord is allowed to fairly determine the land of Jiangdong and unify Yangzhou, Jingzhou will definitely be difficult to preserve. ”

"Although Jingzhou's military strength is weak, but its literary spirit is at its peak, Liu Jingsheng and his subordinate Wu Ding can see here, they will definitely not sit back and watch the lord determine Jiangdong to unify Yangzhou and become the enemy of Jingzhou, so if the lord does not raise troops to attack Jiangdong, it will be fine, Jingzhou Liu Biaoding does not dare to take the initiative to attack the three counties of Lujiang, lest the lord turn the direction to attack Jingzhou, but if the lord raises troops to attack Jiangdong, Jingzhou Liu Biao will definitely raise troops to attack our three counties, in order to relieve the siege of Jiangdong, otherwise they will suffer from the pond fish."

"In this way, the more than 50,000 troops in Jiangxia County can not be moved lightly, if Jingzhou raises troops to attack our three counties, it will definitely take Baling and Jingling as a breakthrough, the land of Anlu is adjacent to Yuzhou, Cao Cao will not sit back and watch the changes in his rear, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou will never dare to use troops in Nanyang, so in Jiangxia County, except for the land of Anlu, some soldiers and horses can be dispatched, and the soldiers and horses in the rest of the places cannot move without permission."

"The number of troops that Liu Biao can call in Jingzhou is still more than 100,000, and the soldiers and horses in Jiangxia County can hold back the Jingzhou army and prevent them from disturbing the lord's attack on Jiangdong, which is already a great achievement; If it can be used as a response when our army attacks Yuzhang County, this is already the best result. ”

"Finally, there are 10,000 leopard Tao troops under the command of General Yue Fei and 10,000 Chaisang water troops under the command of General Gan Ning in Chaisang City, there are a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Chaisang City, and Chaisang is adjacent to Jiangdong, and these 20,000 soldiers and horses can all be used to attack Jiangdong. However, there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Chaisang City and there is no other defender, after General Yue and General Gan participated in the battle, Chaisang City still needs soldiers and horses to stay, in my opinion, the lord can bring General Su Fei to bring 3,000 soldiers and horses to Chaisang to supplement the troops of the two generals, after General Yue and General Gan go to war, Chaisang City can also be handed over to these 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison. ”

"In this way, in this attack on Jiangdong, the only soldiers and horses that can be dispatched in the three counties of Lujiang are: 10,000 pro-troops under General Yang Zaixing, 20,000 wolf troops under General Zhang Xutuo, 10,000 Chaohu naval troops under General Huang, 20,000 tiger troops under General Li Siye, 10,000 Baotao troops under General Yue Fei and 10,000 Chaisang naval troops under General Gan Ning, a total of 80,000 troops!"

"As for the military strength of Jiangdong, Jinyiwei has also basically found out that the main force of the Jiangdong army is divided into three parts, namely the 50,000 Jiangdong naval army temporarily led by Lu Meng, which is stationed in the Wuhu camp; An army of 20,000 led by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, this army of soldiers and horses was stationed in the area of Pengze Lake; and more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the Jiangdong Dantu camp, this army is not in harmony with each other, and the combat power will be greatly reduced; In addition to these soldiers and horses, there are thousands to 10,000 county soldiers stationed between the counties in Jiangdong, and the Jiangdong scholars also control an unknown number of family private soldiers, when our army attacks Jiangdong, the Jiangdong army may also draw these soldiers and horses to increase the number of troops, in total, there are about 150,000 troops in Jiangdong can be called. ”

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he bowed his hand and said: "Lord, the above is the comparison of the number of enemy and enemy forces in the hands of the ministers, if there is any unclear or inappropriate, please correct it!" ”

Pang Tongyi's analysis was reasonable, and the number of soldiers and horses that everyone thought could be dispatched was about the same, and everyone certainly had no different opinions on this, but they didn't expect that there were so many soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, and there could be as many as 150,000 soldiers and horses that could be dispatched, which was very surprising to everyone.

After listening to Pang Tong's words, everyone began to talk about it.

"I didn't expect that there are so many soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, and my three counties of Lujiang can only dispatch 80,000 troops, it seems that it is far from as simple as you think to pacify Jiangdong!"

"Yes, there are 150,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong that can be called, this battle must be a tough battle, but it's normal to think about it, my three counties in Lujiang have raised more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, Sun Ce has always been reckless, and it is normal for Jiangdong to have 50,000 soldiers and horses."

"It seems that this battle is difficult, my three counties of Lujiang attacked Jiangdong with an army of 80,000 and an army of 150,000, and there are Xuzhou army, Guangling soldiers and horses and Jingxiang soldiers on the outside, if you make a mistake, I am afraid that not only will it be difficult to capture Jiangdong, but even my three counties of Lujiang will be in danger of destruction."

"The Jiangdong Army is the same as the soldiers and horses of the three counties of our Lujiang River, and it is also an elite division that has been in battle for a long time, the Jiangdong Army has as many as 150,000, and it also occupies the advantage of the terrain, while our army only has 80,000 soldiers and horses, and this battle is difficult."
