On the seventh day of the first month of the sixth year of Jian'an (201), the Wanling Conference, the generals of the Southern Expedition gathered in Danyang for pre-war general mobilization.

This pre-war meeting gathered the most complete lineup of the Southern Expedition, including the navy, army, vanguard, and logistics.

The participating generals were as follows: General Xing Zhengnan, Governor of the Naval Army, Qingzhou Assassin Shi Tai Shi Ci; General Zhennan, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Lejin; The master of the military division sacrificed wine Guo Jia, joined the army Xun You, and marched Sima Lu Xun; General Yang Wei, the left governor of the navy; Li Dian, the general and the right governor of the navy; Dongjun Taishou Zhang Liao, Shanyang Taishou Gao Shun, Pei Xiang Tao Ying, Danyang Taishou Pottery Shang, Wu County Taishou Lu Fan, Juncheng Lu Dai, Peiguo Duwei Cheng Lian, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Mi Zhu, Duwei Mi Fang, Guangling Taishou Chen Deng, Langya Xiang Zang Ba, Duwei Sun Guan, Sun Kang, Lujiang Taishou Lu Jun. as well as Gan Ning, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Chen Zhi, Guan Cheng and other tiger generals.

Xun You, on behalf of Ma Han, announced the division of responsibilities of the generals: Guan Hai, Pei Xiang Tao Ying, Danyang Taishou Pottery Shang, Wu County Taishou Lu Fan, Juncheng Lu Dai, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Mi Zhu, Duwei Mi Fang, and Guangling Taishou Chen Deng, respectively, were responsible for the unimpeded transportation line of Liaodong-Qingzhou-Xuzhou-Yangzhou, so as to ensure the supply of grain, grass, armor, horses and soldiers for the army.

The army is divided into three routes: left, center, and right, and the combat generals and their respective tasks are as follows:

The chief general of the Left Route Army, the general of Zhengnan (to go to the line to turn positive), the governor of the naval army, the Qingzhou assassin Shi Tai Shi Ci, and the generals under his command are Guan Cheng, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Sun Kang, etc. He led 10,000 dragon and wolf Xu Lin Army, 2,000 Bo Navy, 3,000 Langya Army, a total of 15,000 men and horses, and more than 500 warships and transport ships of various types, and went south along both sides of the cold water. Advance by land and water, cut off the water in Zhejiang, and cut the Jiangdong Army in two. Guan Cheng led 3,000 Bohai navy to attack by sea, and with the assistance of the soldiers of Wu County and Danyang County, they surrounded and defeated the enemy of Huiji, expelled the Sun clan, and recovered Huiji.

The Bohai Navy originally had 5,000, but when it captured Wu County, it suffered a lot of losses, and then confronted the Jiangdong Army. There were several small-scale water battles before and after, which were quite damaged. After occupying the four counties of Jiangdong, more than 2,000 Danyang soldiers were replenished, and their strength had been restored, even stronger than before. Similarly, the 8,000 dragon wolf Xu Linjun also selected 2,000 strong soldiers from the county soldiers of Wu and Danyang counties to supplement and expand to 10,000. The strength of the Left Army. It's still leveraged.

The chief general of the Right Route Army, General Zhennan, Yanzhou Assassin Shi Lejin, and the generals under his command include General Po Yu and Li Dian, the right governor of the Water Army; Dongjun Taishou Zhang Liao, Cavalry Captain Cheng Lian, Captain Gao Lan, etc. He led 12,000 dragon and wolf raiders, including 1,000 dragon and wolf horsemen from Luoyang. Eight hundred barbarian battalions, three thousand Li clan soldiers, three thousand Yanzhou naval troops, and three thousand Yanzhou troops. and a thousand Shouchun soldiers led by Gao Lan. The task of this army is to move south along the Yangtze River and capture Pengze and Chaisang. Block the way for the Jiangdong Army to flee north, and lay the foundation for the next step of encircling Nanchang.

The Middle Route Army was personally commanded by the general Ma Han, controlling the three armies, and commanding elite soldiers and strong generals, including Guo Jia, Xun You, and Lu Xun; Wu has Gan Ning, Zhang He, Gao Shun, and Chen Dao. He commanded 500 general guards, 1,000 dragon and wolf horsemen, 1,000 trapping camps, 1,000 halberds, and 3,000 sailors composed of 500 elite Shanyue, nearly 1,000 Bajun warriors, 1,000 Danyang soldiers, 700 pawns and helmsmen. Coupled with the 3,000 auxiliary troops of the other divisions of Sima and Fake Sima by Xun You and Lu Xun, the total number of the whole army was nearly 10,000.

As the general reserve, the Central Route Army will march south along the Yangtze River after the Right Route Army advances, advancing by land and water to assist Yuzhang.

The three-way army, with a total of 40,000 horses, plus tens of thousands of servants and boatmen provided by Jiujiang, Danyang, Wujun, Lujiang and other four counties for the army, the total number of troops of the southern expedition is exactly 50,000.

"The above is the total strength and operational distribution of our army's southern expeditionary army, and the following are the detailed rules." Xun You pointed out in the sand table with a baton and explained the battle plan in detail, "Our main battle target is the Jiangdong Sun clan, and the strike points are two areas, namely Huiji, Peng Ze, and Chaisang. Our opponent, the Jiangdong Army, had a total strength of about 40,000 troops, distributed in Huiji and Yuzhang. Huiji 5,000, Yuzhang 35,000. It sounds like it's on par with our army, but it's not. The composition of the 40,000 troops of the Jiangdong Army, including 3,000 soldiers of the Sun family, 1,000 veterans of Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Huang Gai, and 3,000 soldiers and horses recruited by Sun Bofu when he was crisscrossing Jiangdong, these 7,000 soldiers and horses are the elite of the Jiangdong Army. In addition, there are nearly 10,000 thieves recruited from Yan Baihu and Zulang; nearly 10,000 county soldiers captured from the Lujiang River; Defeated the five or six thousand collected by Huang Jie and Hua Xin, plus thousands of soldiers and horses left behind in various counties. ”

Xun You asked the attendants to hang a comparison chart on the wall, and the baton was struck: "You can see from this picture that my dragon and wolf army has 50,000 horses, 30,000 soldiers, 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 10,000 servants and boatmen. The Jiangdong Army had 10,000 soldiers, 20,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 10,000 servants and boatmen. In other words, our army can mobilize twice as many combat forces, and its superiority is obvious. ”

This chart divides the strength of the two sides into left and right, down to ten digits, with clear details and clear details. Needless to say, this is naturally another improvement of the horse.

After comparing the troops, then compare the ships. Xun You ordered his attendants to hang another picture, which was also compared with the Jiangdong Army: "Our army has more than 500 building ships and 220 ships; 450 ships of more than 300 ships, fighting ships, Ge ships, and bridge ships; 340 ships of Rash and Red Horses under 200 Hu; The total number of warships was more than 1,000. The Jiangdong Army has 180 building ships, 370 warships of about 300 hu, and small warships of less than 200 hu, which are similar to our army. In terms of the number of warships, although our army is a northern soldier, its strength is no longer below that of the southern army. ”

Xun You's tone was full of pride, and he did have reason to be proud. The southern ships and northern horses, the northern soldiers are stronger than the land, and the southern soldiers are stronger than the water. As an authentic northern soldier, the Dragon Wolf Army not only has no less than the Jiangdong Army's ship chief zhang (the Han Dynasty ships are calculated in zhang, which is equivalent to the modern tonnage), but also has a group of sailors with rich combat and sailing experience. This is the foundation of the meeting with the Jiangdong Army to hunt the river.

When the generals had almost digested it, Ma Han Shi Shiran stood up and made a final summary: "There should be no suspense when the Left Route Army captures Huiji." After defeating the enemy's army, Lu Dinggong (Lu Dai) was appointed as the Taishou of Huiji, taking over the military and political affairs of Huiji, clearing the remnants of the enemy, pacifying Li Shu, and ensuring logistics. After the Left Route Army completed the first phase of the task, it rested for three days, and then the whole army turned to Yuzhang and surrounded Chaisang and Nanchang with the Right Route Army and the Middle Route Army. The focus of this southern expedition is Chaisang, and if Chaisang is captured, the gate of the Jiangdong Army out of the Yangtze River will be closed, and the Jiangdong Army will only be trapped to death. Ladies and gentlemen, not only do we have a three-way army, but we also have an important helper in the west, Huang Zu, who has promised to send no less than 5,000 ships to help in the battle. This battle is the most critical battle of the Southern Expedition, and if you win, you can set half of the wall, and if you lose, you will fall short. Gentlemen, work hard! ”

All the generals stood up in unison: "Victory!" ”

……

Almost at the same time as Ma Han held a pre-war mobilization, Chaisang, who was 600 miles away, and the military generals of the Sun clan in Jiangdong also gathered together to discuss the future.

Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Song Qian, Dong Xi, Chen Wu, Lu Meng, Pan Zhang, Sun He, Sun Ben, Zhang Zhao, Wu Jing, Zhu Zhi, Sun Jing, He Qi, Yu Fan...... A group of famous generals of Eastern Wu, all of them have solemn faces, and they all know that it is the moment of life and death.

In addition to the Jiangdong generals, there were also two special figures attending the meeting: Han Hao and Sun Qian. What these two people represent is self-evident.

The meeting was convened by Sun Quan and presided over by Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, but because it was a military meeting, Zhang Zhao was also a name, and the actual host was Zhou Yu.

"Gentlemen, what I want to say is that the butcher's knife is on our necks." Zhou Yu was shocked as soon as he opened his mouth, but no one thought that he was alarmist, "The Dragon and Wolf Army is sharpening its swords, and the horses are eyeing us, and we have no way out." Only now, there is only war! ”

Changshi Zhang Zhao interjected: "Perhaps, we can send an envoy to Wanling to ask for peace, so that we can buy time." ”

Zhou Yu said indifferently: "Zibu is not unaware, Lejin's fire-plundering army has crossed the river, the dragon and wolf army has completed the assembly, and the southern expedition is like an arrow on the string." At this time, Ma Qiang will never stop attacking. Please and, it won't take time. If I am a horseman, I will only be superficially vain, and secretly intensify, and I will never postpone the start of war. ”

Zhang Zhao shook his head, sighed, and said no more.

"But I don't think it's time to go head-to-head with the horseman." Zhou Yu changed his words, but he said an argument that made people not turn fast enough, "If we want him to have the upper hand in a decisive battle with the Dragon Wolf Army, we must have enough maneuver territory, have reliable allies, and have no enemies behind us. ”

Cheng Pu's eyes lit up and he looked to the west: "Huang Zu?!" ”

"Yes, yes." Zhou Yu poked heavily on the map, and said loudly, "Break Huang Zu, seize Jiangxia, cut the horse first, and also eliminate future troubles, killing two birds with one stone." Jiang Xia started to connect with Cao and Liu Zhugong, and the three were united. In this way, you can compete with the horseman. ”

Wu Jing, the Cheng of Yuzhang County, said worriedly: "My Jiangdong Sun clan and Huang Zu are fighting for more than one day, although they have the upper hand, but in the short term, it is difficult to destroy. It is difficult to break the Yellow Ancestor. ”

"This time and that time." Zhou Yu was full of confidence, "In the past, our army did not do its best, but now the current situation is compelling, otherwise it is not enough to survive." The three armies are working hard, working together, going all out, Jiangxia can be broken. More importantly, our army is not fighting alone this time......"

Zhou Yu looked at Han Hao and Sun Qian, and Han and Sun saluted together: "What the Central Protector said is extremely true, my lord will not stand idly by." ”

Zhou Yu thanked with a smile, and laughed at the soldiers: "Time is not waiting for me, the first strike is strong, use the meeting as bait, and divide the army of dragons and wolves; With Peng Lize as the forefront, select a good general to lead the elite soldiers and the northern soldiers to fight around to gain time; And our army and Cao Liu will attack on both sides with lightning speed, and they will break Jiangxia. ”

The generals at the meeting nodded their heads in agreement.

Sun Quan laughed loudly: "Ma Han will definitely say that he has an important helper in the west." Hehe, Lone has to say, we are in the west, and we also have helpers, and there are two of them. Now, it's up to who's really helping. (To be continued......)
