On the issue of using troops against Yizhou, Lü Meng's suggestion was to take Quanzhou first, because in terms of geographical location, Yizhou is a large island in the sea, and the closest point to the sea from Yizhou on Sun Quan's side is in Huiji, but there is no corresponding military assembly point and sea port on the Huiji side, and Huiji is a little far away from Yizhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn short, if Sun Quan uses Huiji as the assembly point of the army and fleet, it will be easy to make the Yizhou side have a foresight, and Lu Ren will be able to complete the deployment and preparation in all aspects before Sun Quan, so it will be difficult for Sun Quan to take Yizhou.

It must be made clear here that during the period of the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan's coastal territory was mainly in the area of Zhejiang and the northern part of Fujian, and the coastal areas of southern Fujian and Guangdong were only obtained after solving the problem of Shanyue later, and it was already a matter of the middle and late Three Kingdoms at that time.

On the other hand, if Sun Quan forcibly sent troops to directly take and attack Yizhou itself, it would only take one or two days for Quanzhou to complete the support for Yizhou itself, and then Sun Quan's troops would form a situation in which they would be attacked by the enemy, and if they didn't do well, they would even be wiped out.

Therefore, Lü Meng's opinion is to take Quanzhou first, first of all, Quanzhou's port conditions are good, and there are a large number of ships itself, once Sun Quan captures Quanzhou with surprise troops in one fell swoop, it is completely possible to directly use Quanzhou's ships to attack Yizhou. Quanzhou is a land stronghold that basically borders Sun Quan, and there are many mountainous areas on the way from Sun Quan's territory to Quanzhou, so it is completely possible to use the terrain of the mountains to hide Sun Quan's troops to achieve the purpose of a surprise attack on Quanzhou.

Once Quanzhou is captured in one fell swoop, Lü Meng can directly launch an attack on Yizhou, even if it cannot be captured in one fell swoop, it can also contain and cut off the sea of Yizhou and several other regions and legions. At the same time, Sun Quan could gather troops in Huiji and form a favorable battle situation with Lü Meng's troops against Yizhou.

In addition, there is one more. Shirley is busy in Quanzhou to control the epidemic in Quanzhou, if Lu Meng's speed is fast enough and captures Shirley in one fell swoop, then the deterrence of Yizhou will have an immeasurable effect. At the very least, Lu Ren, the coach's mood and position, will inevitably be in chaos, which is of great use to Sun Quan's capture of Yizhou. Before attacking the city, attack the heart first, this is the common sense of the art of war.

In addition, Sun Quan always wants to mobilize troops here, considering that Lu Ren must have a detailed work to put here in Wu County, Lü Meng's suggestion is that Sun Quan declares that he is ready to send troops to clear Shanyue, and then gather troops in the name of this, and then enter the mountains in the south, and the troops are divided into several roads to Quanzhou.

Lü Meng's detailed plan for the expedition was strongly approved by Zhang Zhao and Lu Su, and Sun Quan immediately ordered Lü Meng to act according to the plan. However, Sun Quan had just finished the Battle of Chibi at this time, and all aspects of his strength needed to be restored, which itself would take time, and he had to pretend to be on the surface to make Lu Ren relax his vigilance, so all this was going on quietly in secret. It can even be said that this plan is not known to anyone except for Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su, and Lu Meng, who are the four people who attended the meeting.

――――――――――――――――――――

Jiaozhou, central Hepu. The 2,000 Yizhou soldiers led by Huang Zhong were camping and resting here...... What the? Why did Huang Zhong come to Jiaozhou?

It's very simple, before Lu Ren asked Huang Zhong and Liu Ye to bring thousands of Yizhou soldiers to KO the Shanyue tribe who had plundered the displaced people in Jingzhou, to be honest, where would those Shanyue tribes who were like bandits be the opponents of the regular army of Yizhou? Under the fight and running here, there were many rogues who ran to the Jiaozhou side, and Huang Zhong led the troops to follow the road to Hepu's side.

When passing through Guangzhou, Liu Ye considered that he should go back to Yizhou, so he stayed in Guangzhou, and then transferred Deng Ai to Huang Zhong as a deputy general.

There is no need to mention all kinds of chores for burying the pot and cooking. The veteran Huang Zhong was only wearing a pair of pants at the moment, with a towel on his head, soaking in the stream to cool off.

"XX, the weather in the south is really not ordinarily hot. It's not summer yet, but the weather here is still no different from the midsummer in the Central Plains! The heat is dead! ”

Wiping off the beads of sweat on his face, Huang Zhong simply soaked his whole body in the water, and only after soaking his heart was cool before revealing the water.

He was feeling comfortable, and Deng Ai, who had completed the camp inspection, rushed over. Perhaps because the weather was too hot, Deng Ai didn't wear armor on his body, but just wore a light short coat, and he kept fanning the wind with a folding fan in his hand.

"Oh! Shizai, the camp is all settled, right? ”

Deng Ai nodded, and the fan in his hand never stopped. Seeing this, Huang Zhong smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, and Shizai also came down to bubble." This weather, hey! ”

Deng Ai didn't say much, the weather was really too hot. took off his shirt and plunged into the water with just a pair of close-fitting pants like Huang Zhong. This old man and young man are lying side by side, and it really tastes like grandparents and grandchildren, but it is the kind of bad size...... If they're talking about something bad.

Then again, Huang Zhong and Deng Ai, the old and the young, can really always talk very speculatively together. Deng Ai likes military affairs, and has a talent for military talent. However, although Deng Ai has been an official for several years at a young age, he is mostly engaged in government affairs, and second, because he is still young and inexperienced, so he is still at a stage where he needs to learn. And Huang Zhong, who has rich military experience, happens to be Deng Ai's best teacher in this regard, and Deng Ai can always learn many things that cannot be learned in books in conversations with Huang Zhong.

On the other hand, Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu originally died early, although he was rescued by Lu Ren and Zhang Zhongjing after arriving in Yizhou, but he was not able to help Huang Zhong's entire grandson come out at this time. And the elderly, how many of them will not like the juniors? Deng Ai is smart and stable, although he will not be like ordinary children who will be coquettish to the old man to please the elderly, but when he keeps asking questions and asking for advice, he can greatly satisfy Huang Zhong's vanity of wanting to show off in front of his juniors. Therefore, Huang Zhong's questions to Deng Ai can be said to be answered, and he often explains to Deng Ai in detail his experience in leading troops for many years.

In fact, this is also Lu Ren's arrangement. In Lu Ren's image, Huang Zhong is undeniably a rare brave general, almost sixty years old can be compared with Guan Yu in the prime of life, if it is in the prime of life, no one can say what kind of strength he will become. However, Huang Zhong focuses on Wu Yong, is slightly inferior in tactical strategy, and because of his unwillingness to accept the old personality, he may be a little reckless many times. With a calm Deng Ai by his side, this situation can change a lot. As for Gan Ning on the other road, Lu Ren was much more relieved.

"Hey, Shizai, why would the lord ask the old man to stay in the middle of Hepu for a while? Isn't it very good that the so-called soldiers are fast, and the 30,000 troops on our two roads will directly take the address? ”

Deng Ai replied: "Old general, the distance between Quanzhou and the delivery address is long, and it is not easy to transfer grain and grass. Moreover, according to the master's idea, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Guiyang are the three points as the boundary, how to ignore the north of the boundary, and the land in the south of the boundary is included in the palm, and after a few years of operation, you can be on the top of the party. From this general point of view, it is necessary to build several cities between Quanzhou and Jiaozhi to stabilize the boundary. The central part of Hepu, where we are now, is the site of the new city selected by the master and Liu Taishou. We are staying here now to wait for the follow-up troops and craftsmen to catch up, and at the same time, we will recruit the homeless people here later to build the city. ”

Huang Zhong sighed and asked his soldiers to take the map and check it. In fact, the place where Huang Zhong is staying now is close to the Pearl River, and the north of Hepu was later classified by Sun Quan as a ...... in history In fact, it is Guangzhou. In addition, because Hepu is close to Guangzhou and Hong Kong built by Lu Ren earlier, it is relatively much more convenient to transport supplies, personnel, and materials, and because it is by sea, not only is there a large amount, but there is no need to worry about someone grabbing it.

Another point is that if the line between Guangzhou and Hong Kong is completely opened, it will have a great impact on expanding the development of coastal areas and intensifying maritime trade in the future. Lu Ren knows his own ability very well, if he wants to go north to compete with the heroes, he asks himself if he doesn't have the capital and strength, but if he dominates Guangdong, eastern Guangxi, and southern Fujian, which are poor and unprofitable in the eyes of the heavenly heroes, and let these three regions form a circle of influence to defend himself, he has the opportunity to do it.

Moreover, with these territories, Lu Ren's ability to absorb and resettle displaced people will be correspondingly strengthened, and when the time is right, Lu Ren will consider implementing a colonial strategy and begin to control the Southeast Asian islands. Lu Ren himself had actually made such an assumption, in case one day his own continental territory could not be defended, he could also retreat overseas and dominate the entire Spice Islands.

If you have the opportunity, you will enter the book again, and just like Yizhou is included in the territory of the Han Dynasty, the Southeast Asian islands are also included. And it can't be stopped on land, but Lu Ren still has the ability to stop it on the sea. If Lu Ren retreated overseas, those candidates still wanted to make up their minds...... Okay, let you fight! But the premise is that you have to develop your maritime capabilities. And if that's the case, Lu Ren will be glad on the contrary, because that may have stimulated the attention of the Chinese people to overseas interests, and if Lu Ren really wants to run, with his current strength, there is a place to run, who can help him?

The farther and farther it goes, stop there.

However, after Huang Zhongzhen looked at the map for a long time, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped his thigh fiercely, just because he was in the water, and there was a big splash. Not to mention that he was splashed all over his face, Deng Ai next to him, as well as the soldiers standing on the shore, could not escape the bad luck of the water. The funniest thing is that a few small fish with two or three rains came out and fell on the shore, and one of them actually hung in an indecent place of a certain pro-soldier......
