Lu Su said: "Geographically, Jingzhou has an advantage over us; In terms of military strength, Jingzhou's strength is greater than ours,

Jingzhou's land and water armies have a total of 130,000 people, including more than 110,000 army troops and more than 15,000 naval divisions.

Ladies and gentlemen, since Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou, he has focused on the development of water divisions, and in the past ten years, three water division teams have been built.

This is currently the most powerful naval division in China, both in terms of the number of personnel and the equipment of ships, this naval division is almost twice that of our Dongwu naval division.

Among these three water divisions, one is the Han River Water Division with Zhang Yun as the commander, which is mainly responsible for the patrol and combat missions of the Han River.

The other is the Yangtze River Naval Division led by Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, this naval division has 800 warships and more than 10,000 soldiers, and is the main force of the Jingzhou Naval Division, mainly responsible for the patrol and combat missions of the Yangtze River water surface from Jiangling to Wuchang.

The third team of the Jingzhou Naval Division is the Jiangling Naval Division with Cai He as the general manager, this naval division is the general reserve of the Jingzhou Naval Division, and its equipment is the same as that of the Han Naval Division, which is more than 200 warships and more than 2,000 soldiers.

As for the army, it is like this, there are two main forces of the Jingzhou Army, one with 40,000 horses, stationed north of Hanshui, under the command of Huang Zhong, and the immediate combat task is to guard against the attack of Cao soldiers in the direction of Wancheng and Xuchang in Yuzhou; The other force of more than 60,000 people is the general reserve of the Jingzhou Army, which is divided into two parts, one part is more than 30,000 people, and is now stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River from the mouth of the Han River to the north bank, led by Guan Yu, and the other part is stationed in the Jingshan Barracks, which is also more than 30,000 people, led by Zhang Fei.

The rest of the army is mainly local troops and garrisons in the counties,

The Jiangxia Army should have the strongest combat effectiveness, a large number of troops, and rich experience in actual combat, with about 20,000 troops and garrisons in all counties and counties. ”

Lu Su said this, looked at Sun Quan, and then looked at the officials, and said: "This is the current strength of Jingzhou, everyone see, whether from the analysis of the geographical situation, or from the perspective of military strength, Jingzhou has always maintained a high-pressure situation for us.

To tell the truth, the two armies of Jingzhou, both on land and water, are like two sharp swords hanging high above our heads in Dongwu, these two swords are firmly held in Liu Cong's hands, and they can put our Dongwu to death at any time.

Therefore, the lord said just now that Jingzhou's harm to our Eastern Wu is more direct than that of Cao Cao, this ??????"

At this time, Sun Quan spoke, he said: "Just now Lu Zijing analyzed the military strength of Liu Cong in Jingzhou, as long as this force exists, we in Eastern Wu will not have a day of stability, we have a meeting today, just to study it, design a practical battle plan, and prepare to start fighting against Jingzhou." ”

When Sun Quan spoke like this, no one else could interject, so everyone listened quietly,

Sun Quan continued: "Dongwu fought against Jingzhou, there were two purposes, one was to avenge the killing of his father, in order to achieve this goal, we Dongwu have been fighting for several years, but the goal has not been achieved.

Another purpose is to occupy the ground in Jingzhou.

To tell the truth, with the current strength of both sides, the second combat mission design is a bit large, and it is difficult for our army to complete it for a while, but. ”

When Sun Quan said this, he became angry, stood up and said viciously: "Even if it can't be completed, it must be fought, at least through this battle to consume the military strength of Liu Cong in Jingzhou, and Liu Cong must not be allowed to develop arbitrarily in Jingzhou, and sit big for no reason, if so, Liu Cong will be a permanent scourge of Eastern Wu." ”

When Sun Quan said this, he took a breath, sat down, calmed down, and said to everyone: "This, I just said the combat mission, let's see what clever plans to contribute, casually, there is no right or wrong, as long as it is a good suggestion that is beneficial to our army's operations." ”

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Sun Quan added: "In this battle, we can't recover Jingzhou, but also occupy Jiangxia, Jiangxia is in the upper reaches of the river, holding our throat to the west, so that our Eastern Wu can not be freely extended, well, as long as Jiangxia is not in our hands for a day, our Eastern Wu will not be at peace for a day, occupying Jiangxia and killing Huang Zu is the direct purpose of our operation." ”

Sun Quan added viciously and inspired: "Okay, let's talk about our own opinions." ”

At this time, Zhang Zhao should speak, because Zhang Zhao is the chief civilian official of Eastern Wu, although today's discussion is a military battle plan, which has little to do with internal affairs, but Zhang Zhao does not speak, and others are embarrassed to speak before him.

So Zhang Zhao said, he said: "This, as far as I know, Liu Cong is the second son of this Liu Biao,

This Liu Cong is not like his brother, his brother Liu Qi is not a material,

I have known for a long time that he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has never done the same again, and is now in his thirties, and has achieved nothing.

When I heard that Liu Biao was sick, people predicted the future of Jingzhou, and they all said that Jingzhou was finished, and when Liu Biao died, Jingzhou would collapse immediately.

At that time, people estimated that Jingzhou was going to no more than two roads, one was to surrender to Cao Cao, and the other was to be occupied by our Eastern Wu.

Well, who knew that there was a Liu Cong popping up behind him, and he would simply become a fine,

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, Liu Biao handed over the management of the eight counties of Jingzhou to him, and it seems that this kid is indeed capable, otherwise, Liu Biao would not have done this. ”

When Zhang Zhao said this, he coughed a few times, slowly turned his head to look at everyone, and continued to say slowly: "I heard that this child has changed from a naughty boy who doesn't know anything overnight to a politician and military strategist who is both civil and military.

He never passed through the battlefield, but he led 40,000 troops to cross the Han River, defeated Cao Cao's three generals in one fell swoop, and recovered the lost territory north of the Han River in less than three months.

After that, it took another year to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, reclaim the barren fields, and even make Jingzhou's management smooth sailing and prosperous.

Hey, the old man is a person who reads poetry and books, but, looking at thousands of years of history, since ancient times, which dynasty has produced such a figure as Liu Cong,

Jiang Ziya assisted King Wu to establish the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his feats were overwhelming, but his old man was in his eighties.

Eighty years old, huh, everyone, eighty years old to know astronomy and geography, that is not unusual,

However, when Liu Cong was in charge of Jingzhou, he was only sixteen years old, sixteen years old, everyone, what is the concept of sixteen years old, everyone here has walked through the age of sixteen, recall, isn't it just a naughty boy who has not opened wontons,

Well, the old man doubted that this Liu Cong should not be a god descending from heaven. ”065
