Thanks to Zhu Meng's proposal to unite Wuxi Man, the momentum in the room rose again.
Liu Zhang waited for a while, but in the end no one came forward to put forward any opinions or strategies.
This result was not beyond Liu Zhang's expectation.
Among the crowd, Zhang Liao is almost at the top of his game in terms of talent.
"Generals, the strategy just mentioned by Wen Yuan is very suitable for Guyi!"
"But I want to change it a little bit."
All the generals pricked up their ears, waiting for Liu Zhang's final decision.
"If we connect Kuai Liang, Huang Zu and Sun Quan, it will definitely waste a lot of time."
"It will soon be September, and there is not much time left for us to attack."
"I decided to take the lead in attacking Jingzhou!"
Huang Zhong frowned and quickly asked questions.
"Mr. Qin, shall we face Liu Beijun alone?"
Huang Zhong was not afraid, but he didn't want to waste a good situation.
Why waste this advantage when we can obviously be surrounded on all sides?
Xu Shu and Zhang Fei have just won a great victory, so their morale must be strong at this time!
If we fight against our own side with all our strength, it will inevitably cause the fiercest collision, and the losses will naturally be extremely heavy.
Liu Zhang waved his hand casually, and the smile on his lips had already answered Huang Zhong's question.
"I just said that it would be too troublesome to send people to contact you. I don't want to fight Liu Beijun alone."
"Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue is a wise man. Now that he has the power of Huang Zu, he is bound to keep an eye on the troubles in Nanjun all the time."
"The foundation of the Kuai family is in Xiangyang. As long as we take the lead in attacking, they will definitely threaten Xiangyang."
"Secondly, Jiang Xia Zhou Yu is a rare general who can only be seen in a century. His lifelong dream is to capture Nanjun!"
"Moreover, Liu Bei attacked Sun Quan's Yuzhang County. The two were fighting to the death. How could Zhou Yu miss such a great opportunity?"
"So even if we don't send people to contact us, all the armies will not miss the opportunity to besiege Nanjun!"
Huang Zhong suddenly understood, and all the generals also admired him.
"Qin Gong Shengming!"
Liu Zhang did not stop at the compliments from everyone and turned to look at Meng Da.
"Zidu, you and Military Advisor Pang attacked once before. Tell us your views on the terrain."
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Although he currently has elite soldiers and generals under his command, if he is not familiar with the terrain and does not make the most appropriate arrangements, it will definitely be difficult to win.
Regarding the journey from Yufu to Jiangling, all Liu Zhang knew was the Battle of Yiling launched by Liu Bei in history.
In the end, Liu Bei was defeated and tens of thousands of his troops were burned to the ground.
As for Sima Yan's defeat of Wu, there is almost no reference. After all, the country of Wu had no famous generals at that time.
Xu Shu, who is now in charge of Nanjun, is still entrusted with important tasks by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, no matter how bad he is!
The military commander in Nanjun's military capacity must not be underestimated.
It can be said that Liu Zhang did not have a successful experience in his mind to tell him how to deal with the upcoming Battle of Yiling.
And the current situation is very similar to history!
When Liu Bei launched the Battle of Yiling, he led more than 50,000 troops. Today, Liu Zhang still has more than 50,000 troops.
So the difficulties Liu Bei faced will most likely be transferred to Liu Zhang next.
Therefore, Mengda's subsequent description of Zigui and other places is very important.
Meng Da didn't dare to talk nonsense and quickly recalled the past experiences along the way in his mind.
"I report to Duke Qin that from Yufu to Zigui and then to Yiling, there are steep mountains and overgrown vegetation, which is quite unfavorable for advancing troops."
"Previously, it was difficult for General Mo and Military Advisor Pang to lead 5,000 people. Due to the terrain, the soldiers could only line up in order."
"If tens of thousands of troops march into the mountain, the difficulty of marching alone will be like climbing to the sky!"
It was similar to what Liu Zhang imagined, and the difficulty was not ordinary!
No wonder Pang Tong personally took the risk to attack Yiling and completely open the way to Jiangling.
"Zidu, if we march by force, what will be the result?"
After hearing Liu Zhang's question, Meng Da looked extremely ugly.
"Mr. Qin..."
It happened that everyone was looking at him again, leaving Mengda unable to say a word.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it. Don't wait until the army goes out to fight."
Liu Zhang understood what Meng Da meant and asked him to muster up the courage to speak out.
At least let everyone know that attacking Jingzhou is not an easy task.
"As you command!"
After receiving Liu Zhang's encouragement, Meng Da immediately felt his heart change and said everything.
"Qin Gong, generals, Zigui City is better. It is relatively wide on all sides. If we attack it by force, we can win it even if we suffer heavy losses."
"But it's very difficult to travel from Zigui to Yiling. We can't even walk along the Yangtze River and have to go deep into the jungle."
"I heard that Military Advisor Pang was ambushed by Liu Bei's army because he reached the narrowest place."
Meng Da is no longer afraid of damaging everyone's morale. This is the fact.
As long as you attack, you will definitely face terrain difficulties.
Liu Zhang nodded slightly, and then fell into deep thought.
No wonder Liu Bei would rather cross mountains and ridges, and avoid Yiling when crossing Wushan.
A frontal attack had almost no possibility of breaking through Yiling.
"My generals, the commander-in-chief of Liu Bei's army in Nanjun is Zhang Fei, and the military advisor is Xu Shu."
"Zhang Fei won't say much. He is extremely brave and cannot be easily defeated. Xu Shu also knows military affairs well and is from the same sect as Military Master Pang."
"So we have to prepare for the worst. The enemy has made the most perfect deployment."
The faces of the generals were heavy, and they all put away their contempt.
Now they all know that the enemy is not an incompetent person who can fight in a single battle.
Liu Zhang looked around and found that his brows were furrowed and he was helpless.
It is indeed very difficult to march eastward to attack Jiangling, and the purpose of this march is not to capture Jingzhou.
If the Eastern Army is fully formed, Liu Zhang is sure to take over the entire five counties of Jingzhou in one go, which is actually easy to say.
It is this situation of strictly reducing the scale of the battle and not allowing the war to expand without limit that makes people feel a little constrained.
Liu Zhang turned to look at Gan Ning, who was also a key figure in this eastward advance.
"Xing Ba."
Gan Ning quickly woke up from his thoughts and looked at Liu Zhang.
"The general is here!"
"Xing Ba, what's the situation with the navy? How many soldiers can we fight?"
"five..."
Just as Gan Ning was about to blurt out, Zhou Tai on the side quickly pulled him.
Not only that, Jiang Qin also tried his best to wink at Gan Ning, telling him not to talk nonsense.
Gan Ning paused and finally said a number.
"To inform Duke Qin, there are 20,000 elites in the navy, and the remaining 30,000 are new recruits. The training period is still short, and the combat effectiveness has not yet been formed."
Twenty thousand troops were the strength of the Yu Fushui Army when it was established.
Liu Zhang nodded. Since he came to Yufu, he hasn't had time to go to the navy to take a look.
"How about warships? Are there any tower ships?"
