Where is the gap between the enemy forces
Approaching dusk, a person came before Zhou Yu's tent, the crown robe was quite imposing, more than eight feet long, and his appearance was loyal, and his actions were also neat and vigorous, this person was Lu Su Lu Zijing in Linhuai East City, and he was also the only person who could directly enter the tent without reporting in this chaisangkou.
"Who's in the tent?" Although there is no such thing as Zhou Yu borrowing food from Lu Su and the latter is extremely generous, Gong Jin still admires Zijing's talent and vision very much, and the two can be described as friends who talk about everything.
"The Metropolitan Governor has been in the tent for three hours, and no one should disturb him before, and the lunch has not been eaten yet, and Lord Lu has just in time." The soldiers in front of the door said that he had also been with Zhou Yu for many years, and he was very trusted by the governor, so he could have such words with Lu Su.
"Hmm." Lu Su nodded and walked into the tent, but saw Zhou Yu standing in front of the map to take a closer look, like a statue, how could the lunch on the table have ever been touched? It's already cool.
Zhou Yu always likes to linger in front of the marching map before the battle, and he is extremely focused at this time, if he is disturbed, Zhou Yu, who has always been mild-tempered, is also very scary, which is very similar to Zhang Hu and Zhang Zicai, whenever Zhang Hu is like this, Liu Yi will not disturb it. Lu Su, who was familiar with Zhou Yu's habit, was the same, so he didn't say anything, just stepped forward to stand side by side with him and looked at the map, in their eyes, this map was full of real mountains and real waters.
"Oh, Zijing is here, it's good to come, it just so happens that you and I are going to see it together." Sighing slightly, Zhou Yu realized that there was one more person beside him, and then he saw that it was Lu Su who put his heart at ease and said. As the commander of the three armed forces, no matter how severe or even bad the situation is, it must not be shown on his face, the main general is calm and his subordinates have confidence, and Fang Cai's sigh is also because he is alone.
"Hehe, Su is here to consult with the Metropolitan Governor, but the Metropolitan Governor, you also have to take care of the meal, that is, Liu Langsheng is now outside the tent, you and I should eat and have to eat!" Lu Su smiled, and then put away the cold food before he arrived at the desk, and Zhou Yu couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, but then his tense nerves were also relaxed.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in order to set off the majestic image of Wan Yunxiao and a feather, Luo Dada did some artistic processing on Zhou Yu and Lu Su, especially the latter, which seems to have nothing but loyalty. Comments. In fact, in the real history, Lu Zijing not only has a very strategic vision, but also both civil and military, he is Sun Quan's plan for Huan, Wen Zhiye's couch is never under Longzhong, and Lu Su once met a thief when he was young, he put his shield on the ground and shot back with arrows, and the arrows penetrated! Otherwise, how sick would Zhou Yu and Sun Quan be before Lu Su succeeded him as the governor of the capital?
But when the mind returned to the battle, that little wry smile was gone, if you look closely, you can still see the few traces of white between Zhou Lang's sideburns, the beginning of the war for more than ten days Zhou Yu has been thinking about the strategy of breaking the enemy day and night, it is not too much to say that it is painstaking! In the history of the Battle of Chibi, he established his fame but died two years later at the age of 36, and there is no detailed record in the book about what illness caused it, but I am afraid it is also inseparable from Chibi's overwork.
At that time, Cao Cao's army was overwhelmed by the people of Eastern Wu, but Zhou Yu found out many weaknesses of the seemingly powerful Cao army after careful analysis. The soldiers in the north are not good at water warfare, the fatigue of the army in continuous battles, the horses have no forage in the middle of winter, and the water and soil are not adapted, and diseases will affect the combat effectiveness, etc., it is after this meticulous inspection of the enemy that he said "please get 50,000 elite soldiers, enough to break it", and it is also because of this that Sun Quan was persuaded to make up his mind to fight with Cao Cao!
But in this time and space, Zhou Yu tried his best to find any flaws in Liu Yi, on the water war, the enemy army has Gan Ning's powerful Flying Tiger Army, not only the combat power is not under the Jiangnan Water Army, but the advantage of its boats and ships will be greatly victorious, now they have gone all out, but the Flying Tiger Army seems to have any remaining strength, Liu Yi Gan Ning does not attack with all his strength at this time, there must be some behind, this Zhou Yu is extremely sure, if the Flying Tiger Army is really desperate to press on the whole line, can the Yangtze River still rely on?
In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's choice of winter attack was by no means a mistake, but a very particular method of using troops, one is for fire attack, and the other is because winter is the dry period of the Yangtze River, and the difference between the two is one to two miles. Looking at the river surface now, the width of one mile and two miles is almost negligible, but under the conditions at that time, this is the difference between the abyss, Cao Mengde, as a master of the art of war, may be a little light on the enemy because of the good situation at that time, but this kind of low-level mistake will never be made.
Now that Liu Yi chose May as the flood season and the time when the river is the widest, would he make a low-level mistake? Of course not, the warships of the Flying Tiger Army can now sail on the sea, how can they be afraid of the river during the flood season? Moreover, the advantages of fighting warships on the turbulent rivers can be more obvious, and these have been verified in actual combat, and the opponent's warships are extremely stable.
Fatigue? Liu Yi has been preparing for this big battle for five years, this time the whole country is pouring the strength of a million troops to dominate the world, and the morale of the Han soldiers is extremely high, which can be seen from the sound of drills on the opposite side of the river that is faintly heard every day.
Not used to the local environment? The Longxiang Army, the Liaodong Army, the Beiping Army, the Hurricane Army, and the Agni Army, all of which are famous all over the world, have been stationed on the other side of the Yangtze River for training more than a year ago, just to familiarize themselves with the environment and facilitate combat, and the meticulous logistics support work of the Han Army is that Zhou Yu has to admire, and their medical battalion is enough to deal with most diseases. But he may not know that Liu Yi is just for a later legend: "Cao Cao's battle of Chibi may have been defeated by blood sucking disease." He ordered the whole army not to drink the water of the Yangtze River, and to rely on logistics to send it up, if it weren't for His Majesty's words, another person would definitely be scolded behind his back by the person in charge of logistics if he gave this kind of order.
The three enemy armies, each of which is a strong and famous general, has sufficient troops, especially Zhao Yun's Western Route Army, there is no obstacle from the Yangtze River moat to attack all the way along the landing route, if he can't rely on the complex terrain of Yiling to hold Zhao Zilong's troops, once the Han army crosses Yiling and reaches a flat place, Ma Mengqi's Xiliang Iron Cavalry will definitely become a nightmare for Jingnan soldiers! He is also bound to increase the number of troops along the way to fight against it, but will Liu Yi and Ganning watch it at that time?
Weaknesses, gaps, Zhou Yu has been sparing no effort to find for many days, but until today he can't find the flaws of the Han army, of course, with his use of troops, even if the enemy army has no weaknesses, he can find a way to create it, but in this way, it is bound to change the trick first, is it a big grasp?
These are still the results of analysis from the military level, and the situation in other places is even worse, and the failure to use troops in Jiangnan for five years does not mean that Liu Langsheng will do nothing, on the contrary, his methods are endless and never stopped, and it is also another form of warfare.
The first is to promote, "The wife and children are hot on the kang, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing." This is a vulgar sentence that can't be more vulgar, but whether it is Liu Bei, Sun Ce, or Zhuge Zhou Yu, they must admit that the power of this sentence is enough to be worth 100,000 male soldiers! The most vulgar words are said to the wishes of most people, they will not care who stands in the perspective of righteousness, nor will they ask who is the real hero, those things have nothing to do with them, they will only care about two meals and clothing to start a family, now the life of the people north of the Yangtze River is obvious to all, plus the deliberate propaganda of the people in the south of the Yangtze River can not yearn for it? This kind of change in people's hearts is not visible in ordinary times, but when it comes to the current war, it is immediately reflected, and the support of the people of Jingnan for Sun Cejun is by no means as positive as that of Jiangbei.
Shipbuilding needs wood, iron weapons are indispensable, training cavalry without horses is empty talk, Liu Yi's second means is the material embargo, timber, iron horses, including metal, horses, and grain are listed as strategic materials are among the embargoes, once found, they will be severely punished! In the past three years, Zhou Yu has exhausted his efforts to obtain 300 war horses through various means, which shows that the opponent's control is strict, and the southern cavalry, which is already very small in number, cannot compete with the iron cavalry battalion at all.
Another point is that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu failed to notice it at first, and it was only under Lu Su's reminder that they saw the harm and controlled it in time, that is, the dumping of the north to the south, such as Liu Lang paper, Liu Lang furnace, sedan chair, Shu brocade and other items, although they are not strategic materials, but the control of the north is still strict, and the price is often doubled in the south, but it is still in short supply. This method is very hidden, but Lu Zijing has calculated that in just two years, Liu Yi has grabbed nearly seventy or eighty thousand taels of gold from Jingnan, which is real money!
"Could it be that the situation of this war is irreversible? Liu Langsheng is really destiny? Zhou Yu shook his head fiercely, as if he wanted to throw out the thought formed in his mind, but he also knew in his heart that it would be easier to get such an answer through careful analysis.
"Governor, let's eat first, the cook also scalded two pots of good wine." At this time, Lu Su personally walked into the handsome tent with a wooden plate, and the food and wine in the wooden plate were also steaming.
"Okay, let's have a few drinks with my son." Smelling the aroma of the food, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel a little hungry, there are no absolutes in everything, no battle can guarantee victory, it is better to put it down for the time being and change your mood, maybe there will be an accident.
