Lu Meng's strategic concept has a lot of troubles in Zhou Yu's eyes, but Sun Quan seems to sound very reasonable.

"Gong Jin, what do you think of Zi Ming's words?!"

Sun Quan is consulting Zhou Yu's opinion.

Zhou Yu was also thinking about how to tell Sun Quan in more tactful words without trying to stimulate Lu Meng - that was a stupid strategy.

After all, Lu Meng is Sun Quan's confidant, and not stimulating Lu Meng is to give Sun Quan face.

Therefore, Zhou Yu pondered for a while before he surrendered his hand to Sun Quan and asked, "Yu asks for advice, what is the ambition of the lord?!" ”

Sun Quan was stunned. Zhou Gongjin is old and confused? !

Looking back at Zhang Zhao, who was sitting on the side with a bad face, he was not old and confused in his sixties, and Gong Jin was only in his forties, how could he be old and confused? !

Why did you suddenly ask about your ambition?!

Sun Quan didn't know how to answer Zhou Yu, the two had been friends for more than ten years, could Zhou Yu not know his ambitions? !

Fortunately, Zhou Yu didn't ask Sun Quan to answer, he just asked Sun Quan to make a choice.

"If the lord is willing to defend one side of the land and become a land hegemon, he can attack Jingzhou according to Ziming's words. With the solidity of the hearts of the people in Jiangdong, supplemented by the Yangtze River moat, it is possible to divide one side and claim the king and hegemony. Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan seriously, "If the lord wants to enter the Central Plains, fight for hegemony in the world, become an immortal achievement, and have a thousand years of business, please also ask the lord to endure his unwillingness for the time being, make an alliance with Liu Bei, send troops to Hefei, and then slow down Jingzhou after occupying Qingxu." ”

Sun Quan was silent for a moment.

This is a multiple-choice question given by Zhou Yu to Sun Quan.

In the end, it is to be satisfied with the status quo and strive to rely on the Yangtze River natural insurance to dominate the southeast, or to go north to Qingxu and compete with Cao Cao in the Central Plains.

The former is to divide one side, and the latter is to establish the imperial industry.

Sun Quan was suddenly very entangled.

At this time, Sun Quan really didn't have much psychological shadow for going north to Hefei, but he just felt that Cao Jun in Hefei was difficult to beat, but it was not that he couldn't beat him.

And compared with the secession side, the lord with a little pattern will want to dominate the Central Plains and achieve the emperor's business.

Even if it was the Skeleton King Yuan Shu, he was chosen this way back then.

Therefore, it is impossible for Sun Quan to tell Zhou Yu in person that he wants to live on one acre and three points of land in Jiangdong, and if he says this, it is difficult to say what the reaction of the Jiangdong family will be for the time being, but the people of the Huaisi Group will probably choose to cut it clean with themselves.

Sun Quan knew this, and Lu Meng also knew this, seeing that Sun Quan was about to adopt Zhou Yu's strategy, Lu Meng was really unwilling.

I know that I can't beat it, so why do I want to fight for the interests of others?!

Lu Meng hurriedly seized the last opportunity and argued with Zhou Yu, "Meng dares to ask Zuo Dudu, if our army occupies Qingxu and faces the cavalry attack of Cao's army, how can we deserve it?!" ”

Zhou Yu glanced at Lu Meng indifferently and said, "Ziming attacked Jingzhou, could it be that he only planned to stick to Xiangfan?!" If you go out of Xiangfan to Xiang Wan and Luo, you won't be able to avoid the impact of Cao's cavalry? ! ”

Lu Meng couldn't answer this, so he decided for Sun Quan whether he was the male lord of the world or the dog of the household.

Again, what Zhou Yu said is right.

Out of Qingxu, you are afraid of Cao Cao's cavalry charge, but you attacked Jingzhou and went north into Nanyang, Runan, Luoyang and other places, don't you have to face Cao Cao's cavalry charge.

Unless you don't plan to attack, Lu Meng definitely can't say that.

After seeing Lu Meng shut up, Zhou Yu continued, "Although the soldiers of Jiangdong are not strong in land warfare, they are good at bows and crossbows. In the past, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan confronted each other at the boundary bridge, but Yuan Shao was able to break it, Ziming knows why? ! ”

In the first battle of Jieqiao, Yuan Shao had few soldiers, and most of them were foot soldiers, and Gongsun Zhan's side had many people, and most of them were cavalry. According to Lu Meng's words, then Gongsun Chan will win.

But the reality is that Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was broken by Lu Yi's thousand crossbows, Bai Ma Yi suffered heavy losses, and finally Yuan Shao switched from defense to attack and completely destroyed Gongsun Zhan.

This is a very typical example of infantry breaking cavalry, and the Jiangdong Army is also good at bows and crossbows.

When Zhou Yu said this, he was actually refuting Lu Meng's argument that the land of Qingxu was unsafe to defend and that Cao Cao's cavalry was powerful.

Then, Zhou Yu looked at Lu Meng and said meaningfully, "For the general, know the gains and losses of the strategy, know the reason of movement and stillness, know the place of death and life in the form, and know the shortcomings of the horn." Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and those who can win due to changes in the enemy are called gods. ”

Lu Meng also read "The Art of War", although it is only some fragments, but these few sentences, Lu Meng still knows.

Obviously, this is Zhou Yu teaching Lu Meng a lesson, saying that he doesn't know how to take advantage of the situation and use his own advantages to break the situation, and he will only blindly see the strength of Cao's army, and he doesn't understand the principle of switching between strength and weakness.

The book "The Art of War" is indeed telling everyone throughout that in such a thing as fighting, the "strong" must defeat the "weak", but if you can only see that the strong defeat the weak and the advantage defeats the disadvantage, then you can read this book in vain.

The "strong" and "weak" in the book "The Art of War" are not simply divided by the number of troops, the types of troops, and whether there are mountains and rivers to be dangerous.

If the overall strength is small, create a local strength advantage to break the situation, and the arms will restrain each other, try to make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, give full play to the advantages of their own troops, and there will be no mountains and rivers to risk, then find a way to build fortifications by themselves. Isn't this how Hefei New City was created?

As the commander of an army, he should find a way to give full play to his own strengths, find out the enemy's weaknesses and take advantage of them. You can't just see the enemy's strength and retreat, and you can't see your own weaknesses and not find ways to correct them.

Lu Meng has already been a guard, if his thinking is still limited to leading elite soldiers to bully the weak, it can only mean that Lu Meng's books over the years have been read in vain.

Some of Zhou Yu's words were quite tactful, and although Lu Meng felt a little harsh, he was quite acceptable.

After all, Zhou Yu does have more say than him in the art of war and the use of troops.

But Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao didn't plan to save face for Lu Meng.

"The lord and the soldier, the civil official should fulfill his duties and govern the place, and the military general should fight bravely to the death to defeat the enemy and serve the country. Unheard of like a general, a coward before a fight! Zhang Zhao looked at Lu Meng with contempt and said, "Who in the world doesn't know that Cao Cao is powerful, and who doesn't know that the northerners are good at riding, so they think that the north is invincible. ”

This old man is a little shameless.

At the beginning of the Battle of Chibi, you advocated surrendering to protect Jiangdong, didn't you think about it like Lu Meng now, thinking that the north was strong, and we couldn't fight it. Embarrassed to say people?!

When Lu Meng heard this, his face turned red.

In the first battle of Chibi, Lu Meng fought bravely to kill the enemy and made great contributions, which is completely different from you, who advocated surrender.

But Zhang Zhao's identity and status are there, and he is old, Sun Quan doesn't pursue Zhang Zhao's behavior during the Battle of Chibi, what can Lu Meng say? !

One more. In the Battle of Chibi, Zhang Zhao also led the troops to fight, although it was just a formality, but if people really want to say that, you really can't say that the old man advocated surrender during the Battle of Chibi.

Sun Quan was also quite embarrassed.

I really don't blame Zhang Zhao for this, and I can't blame Lu Meng, I have to blame Sun Quan himself.

He shouldn't have let Lu Meng express his strategic ideas on such an occasion as a military meeting.

Sun Quan had known Lü Meng's strategy for a long time, and he also knew that Lü Meng was talking about the reality of the situation, Jiangdong's soldiers and soldiers could not fight on land, even if they really had to take advantage of the situation to occupy Qingzhou and Xuzhou, they would not be able to hold it because of their combat strength, and when the time came, it would just be an empty waste of troops and money.

But the problem is that Sun Quan can't support Lu Meng openly, once he supports it clearly, it means that Sun Quan no longer has the ambition to go north, and only wants to be in a corner of peace.

At least Sun Quan at this time is not so unproductive.

Again, Lu Meng's strategic idea actually harmed the interests of Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others.

Zhou Yu is from Lujiang and Zhang Zhao is from Xuzhou, don't these two hope that they will be able to return to their hometown one day? !

Lü Meng's strategy was simply to make Sun Quan abandon the march to Huainan and Qingxu and attack Jingzhou instead. Can these two still have a good attitude towards him?!

In the end, who let Lu Meng just ignore the order of respect and inferiority, and take the initiative to speak in front of Zhang Zhao.

This is what the old man cares about the most.

Zhou Yu was okay, purely from a military point of view, and taught Lu Meng a lesson, although it was a rebuttal, but it had some educational implications.

The old man really didn't give Lu Meng any face, and directly ridiculed him.

It's just that Zhang Zhao, his age, identity, and status are all there, half of the person who is about to enter the ground, Sun Quan doesn't want to mess with him, what else can Lu Meng do if he is scolded? !

This military meeting also broke up unhappily.

However, in Sun Quan's heart, he already had a decision.

Judging from the attitudes of Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu today, Huaisi Group is still not satisfied with basing itself in Jiangdong and wants to go north to fight back to his hometown, and Sun Quan cannot easily ignore the attitude of these people.

Whether it is to fight for the world in the north or to balance the Jiangdong family, Sun Quan must ensure that the Huaisi Group can stand on his side.

Therefore, Hefei still has to fight, whether it is beaten or not, it must be beaten, which is an attitude to appease the Huaisi group.

But in the same way, Sun Quan also began to pay attention to cultivating the generals of the local families in Jiangdong, trying to balance the forces of the two factions in the army, and not allowing his decision-making to be kidnapped by the Huaisi military merit group all the time.

Therefore, after this meeting, Sun Quan took Zhu Huan as the general of Hengjiang, Ding Feng, and Quan Cong as the captains, and went to Lukou to assist the governor of Lümeng, Jingnan County.

Zhu Huan is a member of the Zhu family of the Jiangdong family, and he is also the only family engaged in martial arts among the four major families in Jiangdong, Quan Cong is also a native of Wu County, Jiangdong, although Ding Feng's ancestral home is Lujiang, he was born in a poor family, and he grew up in Jiangdong since he was a child, and he is half a Jiangdong person.

These three people have also made many military exploits in the Jiangdong Army over the years, with outstanding abilities, coupled with their youth, Sun Quan decided to train them well to balance the power of the Huaisi Group in the army.

As for when to hit Hefei, let's talk about this.
