Lu Meng's tactical planning, Sun Quan's eyebrows fluttered when he listened, and Zhou Yu was silent.

Zhou Yu also had to admit that Lu Su was right, Lu Meng was really a person who "didn't see you for three days, and you should be impressed".

In the early days, Lu Meng was just a general who stood on his feet with the courage of a horseman, and this kind of person was a big deal in the Jiangdong army.

But Sun Quan took a fancy to Lü Meng, promoted him, and personally persuaded him to learn, and trained Lü Meng from an ordinary military general who could not read big characters and had to write letters to a commander who can now take charge of himself.

Of course, I'm afraid that Lu Meng's own efforts are greater, after all, Sun Quan's persuasion at the beginning was just to let Lu Meng read some history books, not to seem so unlearned.

Now, Lu Meng can not only put forward a strategic concept according to his own ideas, but also has a specific implementation method to realize this strategic concept, which can already rank among the top three generals in the entire Jiangdong.

No wonder his friend Lu Su would recommend Lu Meng to replace him before he died, it turned out that this Lu Meng really had this ability.

The plan can be said to be very well formulated, all aspects have been thought of, and all arrangements have been made in advance, once realized, the possibility of success is very large.

As for the variables that will arise in practice. This Zhou Yu will not be harsh, no one can guarantee that the plan he has made will be perfectly realized, and when he really starts fighting, he has to rely on the improvisation ability of the generals.

At least Zhou Yu didn't find any obvious loopholes in Lu Meng's plan.

But just a little. Cao Cao and Liu Bei are not fools, how are you Lu Meng going to deal with their counterattack?!

"Ziming has ever thought that if we sneak attack Jingzhou, how can Liu Xuande be willing to take a break?!" Zhou Yu smiled and asked Lu Meng.

And Lu Meng didn't care about this at all.

"Although Yizhou is based on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the combat strength of the Yizhou naval army is insufficient, and even if Liu Bei sends troops to recapture Jingzhou, he will not be able to defeat our Jiangdong by water, and he will transport grain and grass by land. However, Yizhou is mountainous and rugged, and the transportation of grain and grass is inconvenient, so we only need to hold on for a long time without fighting, Liu Bei will retreat, why be afraid? ! ”

Lu Meng smiled and replied to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was not annoyed, and continued to ask, "We are waiting to seize Jingzhou, Sun Liu will turn against him, Cao Cao will not sit idly by, if Cao Cao takes the opportunity to send troops to attack Xiangfan, or go east to the mouth of the Xukou, how should we deal with it?!" ”

Lu Meng frowned slightly at this time, then thought for a while, and said, "The terrain of the mouth of the river is dangerous, send troops to defend it, there is no big obstacle to the land of Xiangyang, there is Han River as a screen, with the combat strength of my Jiangdong naval army, there is no need to be afraid." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded and continued to ask, "If the two families come to attack at the same time, what if they do?!" ”

Lu Meng froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

At this time, Sun Quan couldn't stand it, and said dissatisfiedly, "Gong Jin is too worried, then Cao Thief and Liu Bei are not the same enmity of Dai Tian, how can they join forces to commit it?!" ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and said to Sun Quan, "You don't need to join forces, you just need to act at the opportunity, you can take advantage of the power of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and take advantage of the fire to rob, how can you not do it?!" In this way, my Jiangdong is attacked on both sides, do you want to rely on both sides?! ”

Lü Meng spoke again at this time, and said, "If Cao Liu comes to attack at the same time, you can ask the lord to sit in Jiangling, ask the governor to go out of the town of Xiangyang, and ask the order to supervise the battle of Yiling, Jiang Qin to sit in the mouth of the water, Sun Huan, Sun Yu The two generals led the navy along the river to respond. In this way, it may be kept. No matter how bad it is, we can also retreat to the south of the Yangtze River and use the navy to protect the east of the Yangtze River. Let go of Jingbei and lead Cao Liu to fight, these two are undying enemies, and they will inevitably fight to seize Jingzhou. ”

After listening to all of Lu Meng's words, Zhou Yu paused for a long time.

Lu Meng's thoughts, you can't say that he thinks wrong, it's just that his thoughts are a little simple.

Once Jingbei is ceded, then what's the point of Jiangdong attacking Jingzhou?!

Again, it is indeed a good idea to sit and watch Liu Bei Cao Cao fight in Jingbei, but the problem is that the initiative is not in his own hands. In case Cao Cao and Liu Bei strike and repair, let's risk breaking the covenant just to take the two counties in Jingnan?!

Zhou Yu wanted to say something more, but after thinking about Sun Quan's statement just now and Zhang Zhao's brushing up his sleeves, he thought for a while before arching his hand to Sun Quan and stopped talking.

Zhang Zhao has already expressed his dissatisfaction and left, if he opposes it to the end, it will be too bad to give Sun Quan face.

And Lu Meng is not a whimsical person, he has already thought of all the ways to advance and retreat. Although he thinks differently than he does.

To be honest, even Zhou Yu's own plan needed to sneak attack Jingzhou, but he just wanted to delay the time as much as possible and strive for greater benefits for Jiangdong, and he could not completely avoid the risk of Cao Liu's attack.

It's just that Zhou Yu feels that putting Guan Yu in front of him can attract Cao Cao's firepower, and if Guan Yu is not solved, Cao Cao may not dare to attack Xiangyang in the south, and on the Chengdu Liu Bei side, he can also find a way to solve it through political means, forcing Liu Bei to acquiesce to the status quo and save the Sun-Liu alliance.

And Lu Meng chose to turn his face and defend it, the big deal was to retreat to Jiangdong, muddy the water, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Cao Cao's family has a big cause, and there is a high probability that Liu Bei will not be able to defeat it, so in the end, he has to ask Jiangdong to come up, and then the Sun-Liu Alliance will naturally be established again, and Jingzhou is not without a chance to recover it.

In this way, it is also a way to avoid the enemy on both sides of Jiangdong.

It's just a bit of a hassle.

But thinking about it on the other hand, when the Sun-Liu Alliance was established, it was destined to have the current complicated situation, and if Jiangdong wanted to go north to compete for the world, it would not be able to last long without experiencing such a complicated situation.

The Sun-Liu Alliance, after all, is a temporary alliance and is destined to not last long. This point, not only Jiangdong thinks so, but Liu Bei should also think so.

Plus. Now Sun Quan's attitude is on Lu Meng's side.

Probably Sun Quan saw that Liu Bei's development was getting smoother and stronger, and his power was getting bigger and bigger, so he didn't have the patience to wait.

The current Sun Quan is no longer the Sun Quan of the Battle of Chibi, and it is unknown whether he can still listen to the contrary words. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Zhang Zhao leave just now.

Therefore, Zhou Yu thought about it and decided to forget it.

Now that you, Lu Meng, are completely prepared, then go ahead and do it.

When Lu Meng really conquers Jingzhou, and Liu Bei only has Yizhou in hand, the strength of the two sides will undergo fundamental changes, and maybe at that time, through political means, it is not impossible to seek reconciliation.

Well. I have to go back to Zhang Zhao, after all, no one is better at this kind of political means than him.

You have to be prepared first, otherwise it will be too late to save it.

Zhou Yu no longer objected, and Sun Quan had already decided, and Lu Meng's plan had also been approved by Zhou Yu, so what else needs to be discussed, let's start preparing.

Lü Meng planned to stay in Jianye for the time being and sort out the army on the expedition, while Lukou had to arrange people to defend.

At least it has to look like this, and it can't arouse the vigilance of Nanjun and Guan Yu.

Therefore, Lu Meng recommended Lu Xun, who was born in the Jiangdong family, to Sun Quan to replace him as the general of Lukou.

Sun Quan frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with this candidate.

Although among the civil officials, Sun Quan has enabled a lot of people from the Jiangdong family, but for military power, Sun Quan does not look at ordinary prisons, and Sun Quan also knows that only the people of the Huaisi Group who hold military power are the most beneficial to themselves.

Jiangdong is a world military system, and there are already a lot of soldiers in the hands of the major families, if they let them control the soldiers they belong to, then what is the surname of this Jiangdong, it is really difficult to say.

And Lu Xun is one of the four great families in Wuzhong, a member of the Lu family.

Although, Sun Quan himself has a good relationship with Lu Xun, the two of them can talk very well, and Sun Quan also married his niece, that is, Sun Ce's daughter, to Lu Xun, and the two are related.

However, in the face of power, Sun Quan instinctively resisted a little to let the people of the Jiangdong family control their own military power.

But Lu Meng still strongly recommended it, because he felt that although Lu Xun was a member of the Jiangdong family, he himself seemed to be dissatisfied with the family's style, and he didn't have much say in the Lu family, and he was half an outsider.

In addition, Lu Xun himself has a good personal relationship with Sun Quan, has strong ability, and has a reputation that does not show the entire Jiangdong, and there are really very few people who can meet these three conditions.

The position of Lukou Guard, which is really not something that ordinary people can do, not to mention that in Lu Meng's plan, this Lukou Guard's general cannot use a famous general, otherwise it will not be possible to make Ma Liang, Wang Ji, and Guan Yu of Xiangyang in Nanjun relax their vigilance against Jiangdong.

After all, only Lu Xun met all the requirements.

Sun Quan thought about it for a long time, and decided to follow Lu Meng's advice and appoint Lu Xun as the defender of Lukou.

Of course, before Lu Xun went to take office, Lu Meng met with Lu Xun in private, explained his plan in detail to Lu Xun, and asked Lu Xun to keep a low profile as much as possible during the time he went to Lukou to guard, and if possible, it was best to find a way to make Guan Yu contemptuous.

On the one hand, Lu Xun was shocked by Lu Meng's plan, and on the other hand, could this kind of thing still stump him Lu Boyan?!

Lu Xun was ordered to take office, and Lü Meng continued to privately organize the army in Jianye, prepare grain and grass, and formulate battle plans.

And at this time, Cao Cao's envoy Jiang Ji came to Jiangdong.

After meeting Jiang Ji, Sun Quan arranged for Jiang Ji to rest in the pavilion, and then urgently summoned Lu Meng and Zhou Yu to discuss the matter again.

As for Zhang Zhao's last time the old man didn't give Sun Quan face, Sun Quan is not angry now, so he won't call him.

The three of them had a small meeting, and Sun Quan conveyed Cao Cao's meaning to Lü Meng and Zhou Yu, and Lü Meng was directly ecstatic.

With Cao Cao's cooperation and endorsement, this sneak attack on Jingzhou is even more likely.

And after Zhou Yu listened, he was also silent.

When Zhou Yu heard that Cao Cao was going to make Sun Quan the general of the chariot cavalry, Wu Hou, and Jiuxi in the name of the imperial court, he knew that this matter was irreparable.

The position of the general of the chariot cavalry is not important, but the reward of Wu Hou and Jia Jiuxi is equivalent to giving Sun Quan the legal basis for ruling Jiangdong, and it can even be said that the imperial court acquiesced in Sun Quan's secession.

And Zhou Yu, can you still not know what Sun Quan cares about the most?!
