Although I learned in the history books that Guan Yu and Pan Jun were not on good terms. I actually saw it with my own eyes and realized that there was nothing wrong with this.

Really, the two didn't fight, they were both considered to be Guan Yu's generosity, and Pan Jun didn't say anything bad about Guan Yu afterwards, which can be regarded as Pan Jun's virtue.

Pan Jun is too, spraying Guan Yu in front of him is a "reckless man".

finally appeased Guan Yu, but Pan Jun had already left the table in a huff.

When the military discussion reaches this point, it is basically over.

The next day, Guan Yu, as the general of Dangkou to supervise Jingzhou affairs, issued a preparation order in the army, asking Liao Hua and Ma Liang to cooperate, preparing heavy grain and grass to make a fuss, Zhang Xi and Xu Shu hurriedly ran to Guan Yu's mansion to ask the reason.

Raising soldiers with anger is a taboo for soldiers.

Besides, your second master is a person who guards one side anyway, why can't you withstand the stimulation so much, is it possible that you have to raise troops now and attack Xiangyang? !

Then the second master said, you underestimate me and lock someone up

The second master was not angry, although he still hated Pan Jun scolding him, and gritted his teeth when he talked about Pan Jun, but the second master admitted that what Pan Jun said had a certain amount of truth.

It is not easy to hoard grain and grass, and it really should not be consumed at will.

But Pan Jun is a scholar in the end, with limited experience in leading troops, and he lacks enough understanding of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao can be said to be the strongest lord in this era, and Cao Cao is likely not to be moved at all by the bluff that Pan Jun and Wang Ji said.

Therefore, Xiangyang must be fought, and it must be fought until Cao Cao feels pain, otherwise it is impossible to attract Cao Cao's army to Xiangyang.

The second master believed that his decision was right, and he also listened to the advice he should listen to, he would not completely transfer the defenders of Wuling and Lingling, and would also leave enough garrisons in the public security, relying only on the naval division and part of the army to go north and attack Xiangyang.

However, considering the problem of insufficient grain and grass mentioned by Pan Jun, the second master ordered the army to arrange grain and grass in advance, and even through some means, purchase grain and grass from Jiangdong, Runan and other places to make up for this shortage of grain and grass as soon as possible.

As for whether this will expose the strategic purpose of joking, Jingzhou's attack on Xiangyang was originally a feint, if it can attract the attention of Cao Cao's group in advance and cause Cao Cao to gather troops to Nanyang and other places, it will not be a good thing? !

Besides, Guan Yu has been planting spies in Nanyang, Runan and other places for so many years, bribing local wealthy families, and spending so much money and food. Isn't it time for them to help?

After Zhang Xi and Xu Shu listened to Guan Yu's story, they were finally relieved.

The second master is not angry with anger, but rhythmically and methodically arranging according to his own ideas, which is fine.

By the way, Zhang Xi and Xu Shu also stayed, and together with the second master, they took a closer look at the arrangements north of Xiangyang to see if they could use these spies to do something with local tycoons.

As for Pan Jun, after staying in Jiangling for three days, he heard that Guan Yu had begun to prepare for the battle, sighed and decided to go back to Lingling.

Zhang Xi and Xu Shu visited the post house in the middle of the night, chatted with Pan Jun for a while, and left before dawn the next day.

Therefore, when Pan Jun left Jiangling, there was no one to see him off, and Pan Jun was also indignant and very dissatisfied and left Jiangling.

According to rumors, when Pan Jun left Jiangling, he was quite dissatisfied with Guan Yu, calling him a "single husband", and there were also complaints about Xu Shu and Zhang Xi, saying that the two were born in a poor family and had no foresight.

And then it's fine.

Jingzhou is still preparing for war in an all-round way, taking advantage of the cheap grain prices after the autumn, buying grain everywhere, and even Guan Yu ordered Fei Yi to get a batch of grain from Sun Quan through paper transactions. Naturally, Sun Quan also knew that Guan Yu was preparing for war.

Although Jiangdong was worried about Guan Yu's preparations for war, because Sun Qian sent Jiangdong and brought Liu Bei's handwritten letter, he knew that Guan Yu was going to Cao Cao in the north, so he didn't care too much.

On the contrary, what Sun Quan pays more attention to now is the things mentioned in Liu Bei's letter.

Liu Bei will fight Hanzhong sooner or later, this is not a secret, as long as anyone with a little military common sense knows it, it is only a matter of time.

Without Hanzhong guarding in the north, relying on those passes, Yizhou would not be able to be defended.

So Liu Bei wrote that he was going to attack Hanzhong, and Sun Quan believed it as soon as possible.

What really made Sun Quan puzzled was that Liu Bei invited him to send troops to Hefei.

Sending troops to Hefei, all based on Huainan, and peeking at Qingxu is beneficial to Sun Quan.

But what Sun Quan was worried about was that Liu Bei was just trying to use himself to let himself send troops to Huainan to attract Cao Cao's attention, and then he, Liu Bei, would take advantage of the situation to attack Hanzhong.

In this way, Liu Bei can capture Hanzhong, but he may return in vain when he enters Huainan this time.

Moreover, within the current Jiangdong Group, except for the old ministers of the Huaisi Group, there is really not much interest in returning to Huainan.

And there is no interest to speak of.

So Sun Quan was also very hesitant, and privately recalled Lu Meng from Lukou, and called Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, and the four of them quietly had a meeting.

As soon as Sun Quan said his concerns, the trio of subordinates began to think.

This kind of thing must be Zhou Yu, the oldest and highest-ranking military first, to express his opinion first.

Zhou Yu also took the lead and said, "Although Liu Bei is uneasy and kind, and wants to divide the soldiers of Cao thieves with the soldiers of Jiangdong, what he said may not be unreasonable!" If Cao Thief and Liu Bei compete for Hanzhong, their forces will inevitably be concentrated in Guanzhong, Wanluo, and Huainan will inevitably be insufficient. The last time the lord attacked Hefei, but Cao Cao's reinforcements were timely, and the lord had to retreat, this time if Cao Cao and Liu Bei were in Hanzhong, Wanluo was deadlocked, and it was indeed a good opportunity for me to capture Hefei. ”

Sun Quan understood as soon as he heard it.

Since he is worried that Liu Bei is using himself, he will wait until Liu Bei and Cao Cao officially start fighting in Hanzhong, and Cao Cao will personally lead the troops to rescue Hanzhong.

Again, the last time he fought Hefei, it was really Cao Cao's reinforcements that came too quickly, but this time, Cao Cao's army had to go to Jingbei and Hanzhong, how could he have the kung fu to come to Huainan If he Cao Cao really has the ability to fight on three fronts and win, then Sun Quan will die early and completely surrender to Cao Cao.

When Zhou Yu said this, Sun Quan was immediately full of confidence, and he once again had the idea of entering Hefei.

At this time, someone couldn't sit still.

Originally, after Zhou Yu finished speaking, it should have been Zhang Zhao, the old minister in charge of government affairs and logistics, who spoke, after all, the status was there. But Lu Meng quit.

Zhou Yu's strategy is completely opposite to his.

Although Zhou Yu didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that he was inclined to maintain the Sun-Liu Alliance, but Lu Meng was not.

And in Lu Meng's view, Zhou Yu's strategy has a fatal flaw.

Therefore, Lu Meng saw that Sun Quan was a little moved, and at the moment, regardless of the order and status, he hurriedly said, "Lord, no!" ”

When he said this, Zhang Zhao's brows furrowed, and he looked at Lu Meng with disgust, who was born in a big-headed soldier, and didn't understand any rules and etiquette?!

But now Lu Meng didn't have time to take care of Zhang Zhao's mood, and hurriedly said to Sun Quan, "This is just Liu Bei's plan to lead the water to the east." The lord crossed the river to attack Huainan, and the transportation of grain and grass was inconvenient. In the land of Huainan, there are many defenders, and there are Qingxu's soldiers as support, and they cannot be lowered in the short term. Even if the lord occupies Huainan and marches into Qingxu, although he can be temporary, the land of Qingxu is mostly plains, and there is no danger to defend, and Cao's army is accustomed to using cavalry. ”

As soon as Lu Meng came up, he expounded his views on sending troops to Huainan and marching into Qingxu.

To put it simply, you may not be able to fight, and even if you do, you can't hold it, because the land combat ability of Jiangdong soldiers is too poor.

It's just this, not only Zhou Yu frowned, but even Zhang Zhao frowned.

Is this a reason?!

But Lu Meng didn't care about the two, looked at Sun Quan thoughtfully, and continued, "This time Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong, Guan Yu will inevitably raise Jingzhou's troops in response, so this Jingzhou will inevitably be empty." Why don't we take advantage of the situation to attack Jingzhou, all according to the Yangtze River, so, with the land of the two states, retreat can keep the foundation of Jiangdong, and enter the two ways to attack, the Central Plains, so, the big thing can be done, I hope the lord will see it. ”

These words, in fact, are not the first time that Lu Meng has said them to Sun Quan, but in the past, Lu Meng's status was not enough, so he could only tell Sun Quan in private, and now Lu Meng finally has the opportunity to say his strategic plan in front of Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao.

To be honest, this is not a new strategy, at least in the eyes of Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, this is just a castrated version of Lu Su's strategic plan to divide the world.

But considering that Lu Meng climbed up step by step from a low-level officer, and originally didn't know a single big character, it is not easy to come up with such a practical strategic plan now.

If it was discussed in ordinary times, then Zhou Yu might praise Lu Meng a few words.

But at this time, it was an occasion to discuss major matters, and Zhou Yu felt that it was a shame to take such a thing out.

You attacked Jingzhou, do you think Guan Yu and Zhang Xi are easy to bully, or do you think Liu Bei is a dead man?!

Okay, even if you really succeed in the sneak attack on Jingzhou, will you have all the Yangtze River?!

The upper reaches of the Yangtze River can all be in the hands of Liu Bei, Lu Su's couch strategy back then, but it was safe to ask for Yizhou, but now that Yizhou is in Liu Bei's hands, do you still plan to sneak attack Yizhou? !

You have attacked Jingzhou, do you still expect Liu Bei to swallow his anger and continue to form an alliance with you?! Won't people raise the army of Yizhou and attack you downstream?!

Going down the water, it's unstoppable, what do you take to defend against it when the time comes?!

Okay, even if you prevent it, Liu Bei is not the only one in the world, Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to attack Huainan or Nanjun, what are you going to do?!

Once Liu Bei and Cao Cao join forces to carve up Jiangdong, what are you going to do?!

Why did you only see the three melons and two dates in front of you, and you don't want to think about the serious consequences of the sneak attack on Jingzhou?!

In the past, Zhou Yu still felt that Lu Meng had made great progress, and since he read Tao Strategy, he had the demeanor of a commander of one side, and now it seems that he is still the reckless man who only cares about the present and does not look at the future.

Lu Su proposed a couch strategy to divide the world into two, but as soon as he saw the change in the situation, he immediately changed his mind and insisted that the Sun-Liu alliance to fight against Cao Cao was the real strategist.

Now this Lu Meng's half bottle of vinegar is swaying, and he is embarrassed to throw it in front of him, Zhou Yu really doesn't know what to say

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Meng was Sun Quan's confidant, Zhou Yu would have wanted to spray back directly.
