Adjusting administrative divisions and restraining them is definitely not a trivial matter, so Liu Xie wanted to summon Sikong Zhou Zhong to come and discuss with Situ Yang Biao.

He himself was not involved and was only responsible for reviewing the results of their discussions.

His work focuses on military affairs, mainly divided into three parts.

First, Shi Sun Rui prepared a plan to attack Yizhou, first, follow-up arrangements for Liaodong, and also in advance preparations for possible changes in the situation in the Western Regions.

Regarding the arrangements for how to attack Yizhou, Liu Xie found Yang Fu, the chief of the Taiwei, asked him about his opinions on the current situation, and summoned relevant personnel from the martial arts lecture hall to listen together, and Zhou Yu and Sun Ce also participated.

There is a very important question here: Is it reasonable for the Taiwei Jia Xu to transfer the Louchuan Battalion in the Northern Army to Jingzhou to command the Jingzhou Navy to fight?

Because the Jingzhou War Zone was originally arranged for General Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji and Ding Chong had arrived in Jiangling and prepared for half a year.

At this time, the transfer of the building ship captain Lou Gui and others over, will Zhang Ji and Ding Chong be dissatisfied?

Yang Fu expressed his views.

First of all, the idea of ​​attacking Yizhou was correct.

Yizhou resisted stubbornly and relied on the mountain and river situation of Yizhou. However, the people in Yizhou were uneven. The wealthy families opposed the fields and were unwilling to accept the imperial edicts from the court. Ordinary people wanted to unify as soon as possible.

Therefore, Yizhou's troops are limited. Two attacks can be divided and conquered and defeated each one, so that they cannot concentrate their troops and defend one place.

Secondly, although there are also naval troops in Yizhou, most of the navigators are deployed in the Yong'an area in the east, with the purpose of guarding against the enemy from Jingzhou. If the offensive forces are not arranged in Jingzhou, these navigators may go in and arrive.

In the Baishui Pass area, blocked the navy of the Northern Army.

Although the Northern Army had the organization of the Louchuan Battalion, there were not many real warships. Facing the Yizhou Navy, there was basically no chance of winning.

Instead of doing this, it is better to transfer the Louchuan Camp to Jingzhou to restrain the Yizhou Navy.

The reason why I used the Louchuan Camp instead of the Jiangdong Navy led by Sun Ce was because Liaodong was not decided at that time, and the Taiwei Mansion did not know when it would end. Now Liaodong has been decided, Sun Ce's troops withdrew to Qingzhou for rest and of course they could be transferred to Jingzhou.

Join the war.

As for Zhang Ji and Ding Chong's opinions, they are not that serious.

Even if the Louchuan Camp was transferred to Jingzhou, it was under the command of General Zhang Ji of the Cavalry, and there was no possibility of competing for merit.

Zhang Ji's subordinates were mainly Western Liang cavalry and were not good at water warfare, which is something that anyone with discerning eyes knew. Although the Jingzhou Navy was requisitioned, the people of Jingzhou were not convinced and did not cooperate with each other. The Taiwei Mansion had been

Have heard of it.

The reason why there is no registration service is because the war has not started yet, and the two sides are just competing in secret and not tearing each other apart. Once the war begins, this kind of disagreement will inevitably affect the war.

Lou Gui and Huang Zhong are both from Nanyang and have common interests with both sides and may play a role in reconciliation.

After Yang Fu finished speaking, he glanced at Sun Ce intentionally or unintentionally and turned around and took his seat.

Sun Ce had a sinister face and said nothing.

Yang Fu's last words were equivalent to vetoing his possibility of fighting in Jingzhou.

Zhang Ji and Ding Chong were in harmony with the Jingzhou Navy, but he had a grudge against the Jingzhou Navy.

The general who commanded the Jingzhou Navy was Huang Zu, the culprit who ambushed Sun Jian in Xianshan. The hatred of killing his father was irreconcilable. Even if he knew the general, he could not guarantee a peaceful coexistence with Huang Zu and would still fight side by side.

Even if he wanted to, Huang Zu wouldn't believe it.

Therefore, the Taiwei Jia Xu was carefully considered by transferring the Louchuan camp to Jingzhou instead of letting him go to Jingzhou.

Sikong Zhou Zhong also knew this, so it was better to recommend Zhou Yu to Jingzhou than to recommend him to Jingzhou.

In short, this battle has nothing to do with him.

After listening to Yang Fu's speech, Liu Xie looked at the others and signaled that they could speak freely and not have any worries.

This is the first time that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have participated in such a military conference. They are a little restrained and involve themselves, so it is not convenient to speak.

The martial arts lecture hall discussed with each other and had no idea of ​​expressing opinions for the time being.

Pang Tong stood up and coughed, indicating that the cavalry general Zhang Ji, chief Ding Chong and generals from Jingzhou had heard of the disagreement. He could explain it.

First of all, there are indeed conflicts between them, but they are not that serious and should not affect the war.

Secondly, the origin of the contradiction is not personal grudges, but the differences between the two sides over the pros and cons of the water war.

Zhang Ji and Ding Chong hope that the Jingzhou Navy could go upstream and go straight to Wu County, Yu Fu, and press the front line to the gate of Yizhou. But they ignored a problem. Even if the Jingzhou Navy arrived at Yu Fu City, if it could not conquer Yu

It's still useless.

The water flows rapidly in the Three Gorges, which is easy to go down the water, but it is difficult to go up against the water. Once the stalemate is maintained, the subsequent transportation of food and grass will become an unbearable burden.

Yufu is easy to defend but difficult to attack. With the current strength of the Jingzhou Navy, it is almost impossible to conquer Yufu. Instead, it may be attacked by the Yizhou Navy and lead to a great defeat.

Zhang Ji and Ding Chong had no experience in fighting. They took things simple, thinking that Huang Zu and others despise them and refused to work hard, which delayed the opportunity for war.

After Pang Tong finished speaking, Lu Yi asked, "In your opinion, how should the Jingzhou Navy fight?"

Pang Tong said: "With the current strength of the Jingzhou Navy, there is little chance of taking the initiative to attack, but it is okay to restrain the Yizhou Navy and create opportunities for the Northern Army. The Taiwei Mansion suggested that the Louchuan Camp besiege be transferred to Jingzhou, which may be the same.

For this purpose, it is not necessarily that the designated Louchuan Camp can break through the blockade of the Yizhou Navy and enter the hinterland of Yizhou."

He paused and chuckled: "It depends on whether the General of the Cavalry is willing to be a suspicious soldier."

Everyone was silent and had different expressions.

Liu Xie also understood the whole story.

In the final analysis, it was Zhang Ji and Ding Chong who wanted to make contributions, but no one in the court was willing to speak for them. Jia Xu was preparing to directly suppress Zhang Ji. Although Yang Fu wanted to defend the people of Xiliang, he was not interested in helping Zhang Ji win opportunities.

As for the people of Jingzhou, it is even more impossible for them to help Zhang Ji speak.

Pang Tong's sentence seemed to be light, but in fact it was already accusing Zhang Ji of only caring about his personal selfishness and disregarding the lives of the soldiers in Jingzhou.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at being officials. Zhang Ji is isolated and helpless, so he naturally becomes a loss to everyone.

He was actually asking for things, but even he himself had no interest in helping Zhang Ji speak.

When the Battle of Huayin, Zhang Ji performed the worst. If Duan Wei had not restrained him, he would have been likely to support Li Jue and stab him in the back.

Letting Zhang Ji continue to be the general of the cavalry is already taking into account the overall situation. If he is allowed to make contributions, are he going to be promoted to general?

He is worthy, too?

Despite this, Liu Xie said as calmly as possible: "General Cavalry is also a veteran who has been through the battlefield for a long time. Even if he is not familiar with water wars, he will not be a person who fights wildly."

He turned to Sun Ce. "Bofu, if you lead your troops to participate in the war, how sure are you to win?"

Sun Ce was stunned and quickly stood up.

"I... I have never been to the Three Gorges and dare not speak nonsense. But Your Majesty has an edict, and I should be the first to lead the way and strive to speak hard. I dare not say the outcome, and I will definitely be three points better than the Jingzhou Navy."
