Sun 100,000 is a bit of a waste to lead the army to fight, but the strategic vision is really not bad.

Today's Soochow is actually somewhat in trouble.

Fighting to the north, there were not enough cavalry, and the infantry combat strength was not as good as people, and fighting with Cao Wei on the boundary of the Central Plains Plain did not take advantage at all.

Although Qingxu and Erzhou were captured, Peng Chengguo was not taken, and Eastern Wu could not connect Qingxu and Huainan together, and would face Cao Wei's counterattack at any time.

With Cao Wei's field combat ability, the odds of victory in Eastern Wu are not great, and in the end, it is inevitable that it will be consumed to defend the city.

But Yuzhou is in the hands of Cao Wei, as long as Cao Wei sends troops from Runan, Yuzhou, he can block the route of the Huainan Army to the north to support Qingxu at any time, and with the geographical location of Peng Chengguo, Qingxu may become an enclave at any time.

At that time, if you really want to fight for war damage, Dongwu can't fight Cao Wei.

This is the importance of Peng Chengguo.

If Eastern Wu wanted to keep Qingxu, he had to first take Pengchengguo, then march west to attack Yuzhou, and then besiege Yanzhou. But you have to collide with Cao Wei's main infantry and cavalry in the plains, and with the combat power of the Eastern Wu army, you are really not an opponent.

was able to take Qingxu at the beginning, one was by sneak attack, and the other was by Cao Wei who had to fight the battle to defend Guanzhong, and he couldn't spare his hand, otherwise, it would be so easy to succeed.

Even so, the important Pengcheng State and Runan County of Yuzhou were still not taken.

After this battle, Sun Quan realized that it would not be easy to fight to the north in a short period of time, and it would be difficult to hold the existing territory.

The farther north he farthered, the less the main combat force of Eastern Wu was able to give full play to his advantages, so Sun Quan was also looking for opportunities to develop to the west.

Before, this opportunity was unlikely. Lü Meng's strategy has proved that if he can't capture Nanjun quickly, when the Jingzhou army in Xiangyang reacts, Jiangdong may really steal chickens and rice.

And with Guan Yu's command ability, Xu Shu's strategy, and Wang Ji's good defense, it is indeed very difficult to break through Nanjun in a short time.

But now, things are different.

Guan Yu was seriously injured and could not be a director, so Xu Shu and Wang Ji had already moved to Xiangyang to preside over Jingzhou's military and political affairs.

In recent years, Jingzhou's military has dominated the Northern Expedition, so nearly eighty percent of Jingzhou's civil and military generals are in Xiangyang, whether it is Deng Ai, Guan Ping, Guan Xing and other generals, or Ma Liang, Fei Yi, Xi Zhen and other civilian officials, they are now in Jiangling, and Jingnan's defense is relatively empty.

Although Jiangxia has Wen Ping guarding the town, although Wen Ping's ability is strong, the whole territory of Jiangxia runs through the Yangtze River, which is exactly the place where the Dongwu Navy exerts its might.

If the attack on Jiangxia goes well, the Soochow naval army can follow the Yangtze River waterway in Jiangxia and go straight to Nanjun.

It is reported that there are only more than 10,000 guards in Gangneung, the administrative office of Nangun, and the guard of Gangneung is a womanizer named Shibao.

As for Wuling County in Jingnan, Taishou Xi Hong is not good at fighting, the county lieutenant Li Qiu is an unknown person, and Lingling County Taishou Pan Jun is a famous man in Jingzhou and is also quite strategic, but this person is quite selfish, and it is not that he can't be bought The most important thing is that these two counties, all the county soldiers combined, are less than 8,000 people.

Therefore, the strategy formulated by Zhou Yu was to feint Jiangxia, attract the attention of the main force of the Jingzhou army, and attract the main force of the Jingzhou army to the direction of Jiangxia.

In the entire Jingzhou, except for Guan Yu and Wen Ping, who have the ability to fight water, the others are extremely inexperienced in water warfare.

Now that Guan Yu is seriously ill, Jiangxia relies on Wenpin to support him, and it is difficult to support him alone.

The battle of Jiangxia is the length of Eastern Wu and the short of attacking Jingzhou, if it goes well, it is impossible to say that it can also take advantage of the situation to capture Jiangxia and threaten Nanjun.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't attack it, Jiangxia is originally a suspicious soldier, and the real killer move is to start from Changsha and Guiyang counties to attack Wuling and Lingling.

Once the four counties of Jingnan were occupied, they confronted the Jingzhou army of Shu Han across the river, and cut off the Yangtze River with the advantage of the Jiangdong naval army, and it was still possible to defend themselves according to the river.

If Shu Han is unwilling to lose the two counties and the whole country comes, then the north of Jingzhou will inevitably be empty, and the support for the land of Guanzhong will also weaken, and at that time, Zhou Yu believes that Cao Wei will not watch nothing be done.

Once Cao Wei in the north makes a move, it is inevitable that there will be a wave of Xiangshui Alliance, and at that time, Dongwu will eat the four counties of Jingnan, not to mention, maybe even Jiangxia can come back through negotiations. At that time, you can accept it when you see it.

With Zhou Yu's strategic thinking, it's okay to turn his face with Shu Han, but he can't fight hard with Shu Han, and the top priority for Cao Wei to make a wedding dress is to maintain a strategic balance and continue to let Cao Wei and Shu Han fight to the death.

What is important for Eastern Wu is to quickly train the land combat ability of the soldiers, find a way to obtain war horse resources, and train Jiangdong's own cavalry, so that they can be qualified to go north to fight for hegemony and then dominate the world.

Zhou Yu's strategic conception has always been based on me, and the strategy he made was to give full play to the advantages of the Eastern Wu naval army as much as possible, not to seek a quick victory, nor to rely on Cao Wei's initiative to help, everything was based on me.

The more Sun Quan listened, the more he felt that this was a good plan, and even Zhang Zhao rarely did not contradict Zhou Yu this time, and even expressed his maximum support for this operation.

Because Zhou Yu's strategic purpose this time is very much in line with Zhang Zhao's judgment of the current situation.

It is a strategy that can not only seek enough benefits for Eastern Wu, but also not really let Cao Wei's plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf succeed.

Even Zhang Zhao sighed a little in his heart, this is probably a rare time for him to be in the same strategic thinking with Zhou Yu for so many years.

But soon, the second moment when Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu had the same ideas came to come.

Sun Quan was very satisfied with Zhou Yu's strategic thinking, and then, he began to diverge along this line of thought, and he didn't know what was going on, so he thought of the problem of the Qingxu war in the north.

At the beginning, when Zhou Yu withdrew from the siege of Pengcheng, he once gave Sun Quan a letter to him, on the one hand, he admitted that the land combat ability of the soldiers of Eastern Wu was worrying, and it was necessary to strengthen the training of the land combat ability of the soldiers. Not only did he ask Sun Quan to strengthen the training of his direct troops in this area, but he also hoped that Sun Quan would explicitly order the clan soldiers of all family generals to strengthen training in this area.

This matter, Sun Quan agreed at that time, but the actual implementation effect was not good.

There is no way, Jiangdong implements the world military system, and Sun Quan's headquarters has only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is useless to strengthen land combat training with Sun Quan's own headquarters soldiers and horses.

Could it really be that if the fight started, Sun Quan's headquarters could only be used as the main force?!

As for the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Sun Quan's hands, he didn't resist a few beatings.

But you have to let the wealthy family invest a lot of manpower and material resources to train their own soldiers, just to go north to fight for Sun Quan. Even if Sun Quan issued an edict with an edict, this matter still could not be advanced.

In the final analysis, it is still the sequelae of the world military system, and there is no way to solve it.

To start the world military system, Sun Quan does not have such great courage and cost for the time being, so Sun Quan can only think of a way from the second article that Zhou Yu gave himself.

Find a way to form your own cavalry unit.

If you want to form a cavalry unit, you must need war horses, but the production areas of war horses in these years are Youzhou and Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is now under Shu Han, and two years ago, Sun Quan also sent Zheng Quan as an envoy to Chengdu to meet Zhuge Liang and want to buy Liangzhou war horses.

But the problem is that at that time, Shu Han occupied Liangzhou for a short time, and until now, Liangzhou is still in the stage of subsidizing money to run the place, and the relationship with the wealthy families and surrounding aliens in Liangzhou has not been straightened out.

Again, Shu Han is also going to enter the forces of the Central Plains, and they also want to form cavalry, and now the Shu Han Liangzhou Legion has not been formally formed, how can there be extra horses to sell to Dongwu.

Therefore, although Sun Quan sent an envoy to Chengdu, Zhuge Liang could only vaguely excuse himself. This is still for the sake of the two families being allies, otherwise Zhuge Liang is estimated to have refused directly.

Shu Han couldn't get war horses to form cavalry, and Sun Quan couldn't hang himself on a tree, so Sun Quan set his sights on the Gongsun family in Liaodong.

Today's Liaodong Gongsun clan is Gongsun Gong in power.

And the Gongsun clan of Liaodong, although it is subordinate to the Cao Wei regime on the surface, but in fact, the Gongsun clan can basically be regarded as a family of its own in Liaodong, except for nominally paying tribute to the Cao Wei regime, in fact, it is no different from the princes of the secession side.

It's just that the current head of the Gongsun clan is Gongsun Gong, and Gongsun Gong is afraid of Cao Wei's threat and has always bowed down to Cao Wei, so Sun Quan was sent to contact Gongsun Gong at the beginning, and the messenger who asked to buy Youzhou war horses was driven back by Gongsun Gong.

Originally, Sun Quan thought that in a short period of time, he would not be able to get horses, but who knew that there were also envoys from Liaodong who returned to Dongwu with the envoys of Eastern Wu.

It was not a messenger sent by Gongsun Gong, but a messenger sent by Gongsun Gong's nephew, Gongsun Du.

Gongsun Du and Gongsun Gong's attitude towards Cao Wei is not the same, Gongsun Du is ambitious and more capable than Gongsun Gong, he doesn't want to submit to others for the rest of his life, he also wants to become one of the separatist princes.

Therefore, Gongsun Du sent someone to contact Sun Quan, saying that he could provide some horses to Soochow in exchange for Soochow's support for him, and if necessary, the two families could form an alliance.

When Sun Quan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and planned to contact this Gongsun Du, not only to give him an official reward, but also to formally form an alliance with Gongsun Du.

This matter is an idea that Sun Quan himself came up with, but fortunately, Sun Quan at this time is not completely confused, and it happened to be here today, so Sun Quan said his plan and asked Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao for their opinions.

As soon as Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao heard Sun Quan's words, they suddenly didn't know how to feel in their hearts.

Zhang Zhao jumped out to oppose it for the first time.

Gongsun Du is just Gongsun Gong's nephew, he can't even represent the Gongsun clan of Liaodong, Sun Quan's alliance with Gongsun Du is simply self-surrendering, and he will be laughed at by the world.

Again, even if Gongsun Du can replace Gongsun Gong, decide to form an alliance. Liaodong is too far away from Jiangdong, and the alliance between the two cannot support each other at all, something happens to Liaodong, and when Jiangdong's fleet arrives, the daylily is cold.

If this alliance is just a verbal covenant, it's okay, Sun Quan is an official and a reward, and when he looks back, he sees that the situation is not right, and he will return to 625, and he will not admit it directly, Sun Quan's money will be spent in vain, and the official will not say anything, and if the matter is big, it will become a joke completely.

Zhang Zhao definitely couldn't agree with Sun Quan's stupid behavior.

Of course, you have to say this well, Sun Quan may correct it after realizing his problem. But Zhang Zhao's temper, that age, that generation, he really said whatever he wanted, and he didn't have any scruples at all.

directly made Sun Quan angry.

Historically, Sun Quan was so angry that he quarreled directly with Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan sarcastically ridiculed Zhang Zhao as a surrender faction during the Battle of Chibi, and if he wanted to listen to Zhang Zhao, he would have been finished a long time ago.

As a result, Zhang Zhao was angry, went home and squatted directly, and built a wall in his own door, which meant that the old man was useless, and no one would be seen in the future.

Then after Sun Quan found out, he also sent someone to build a wall outside Zhang Zhao's door, which means that if you don't come out, you will never come out.

A middle-aged man and an old man, the two quarrel like kindergarten children, which really makes people feel naïve.

But now it's different, although Sun Quan is angry, but in national politics, Zhang Zhao is not the only one who can ask. Isn't there still a Zhou Yu here?

Well, Zhou Yu, who was supposed to lie in the grave and watch the play in history, had to experience it this time.

But to tell you the truth, did your own lord lose his brain in the harem after becoming the emperor?!

Why do you need to think about this?!
