Lu Meng smiled broadly and looked confident.
Liu Bei occupied a total of five counties in Jingzhou, including four counties in southern Jingzhou and one county in northern Jingzhou.
The five counties were divided into two, and each family occupied two and a half counties.
No matter from which aspect you look at it, it can be called fair and just.
Coupled with Liu Zhang's subversive changes towards Sun Xiaomei!
She turned from Lu Meng's burden into a dependence in the blink of an eye.
Lu Meng firmly believed that as long as it was not too much, Liu Zhang would not refuse for Sun Xiaomei's sake.
And that seems to be the case.
Liu Zhang stroked his chin and kept thinking about the feasibility.
From beginning to end, no one showed any opposition or dissatisfaction with Lu Meng's allocation.
"General Lu, I wonder how many troops Jiangdong can dispatch to attack Jingzhou?"
After a long time, Liu Zhang did not nod in agreement, but instead asked Lu Meng.
Lu Meng didn't worry about this either.
It is assumed that Liu Zhang was concerned about the specific details of the war in Jingzhou.
So, he handed over his hands and told the truth.
"I report to the King of Qin that there are 50,000 troops under the command of Governor Lu Xun of Jiangxia, and there are also 50,000 capable soldiers under the command of Duke Wu of Jiangdong."
"Depending on the war situation, Jiangdong can launch a hundred thousand troops at any time to attack Jingzhou from all aspects!"
Liu Zhang nodded slightly.
Lu Meng's answer was almost as he expected.
"General Lu, I wonder how many troops Jiangdong has deployed in Huainan?"
"this..."
Lu Meng frowned slightly, hesitating whether to tell Liu Zhang or not.
What happens to Huainan has nothing to do with Qin and Jingzhou.
At the same time, this also involves the deployment of military forces within Jiangdong.
Strictly speaking, it's all confidential!
"General Lu, I have no intention of spying on the military situation. The next question is just related to this."
"The King of Qin said something serious, but I didn't mean it that way!"
Lu Meng immediately expressed understanding, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
"King Qin, Governor Zhou Yu has an army of 50,000, and the prefect of Guangling has 30,000 soldiers and horses!"
One hundred and eighty thousand!
A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Zhang's eyes.
Today's Qin State occupies three states and has tens of millions of soldiers and civilians under its command.
Even so, the number of troops used for foreign campaigns was only 300,000.
Unexpectedly, Sun Quan quietly gathered an army of 180,000 people!
These are just soldiers used in combat.
If you include the county soldiers, garrisons, etc. from various places, I'm afraid there will be no less than 250,000!
In one state, so many soldiers and horses were recruited.
No wonder Sun Quan will issue Daquan five hundred, Daquan equivalent to a thousand, or even Daquan five thousand in the future!
Take one copper plate and use it as five thousand copper plates.
How can one afford to be so militarily cruel and inhumane?
"General Lu, can Jiangdong's 80,000-strong army in Huainan withstand Cao Cao's all-out attack?"
"King Qin, what does this mean?"
Lu Meng didn't know why it suddenly got involved with Cao Cao?
"Haha, you still don't understand this?"
"As he marches eastward alone, Liu Bei will have no time to take care of himself."
"If you were Cao Cao, would you give up such a good opportunity?"
Lu Meng was speechless, and suddenly realized what he was saying.
Cao Cao was defeated by the Sun-Liu coalition before, so he must always be thinking about revenge.
Liu Meng was attacked by the Qin army, which was an excellent opportunity.
Furthermore, the land of Huainan borders Xuzhou and Yuzhou, which is like a thorn in Cao Cao's throat!
Cao Cao may be desperate to rob Huainan!
"King Qin, if Cao Cao's thieves come to overwhelm the country, the outcome is still uncertain..."
Liu Zhang smiled, Lu Meng was quite honest!
The geographical location of Huainan is very similar to that of Jingzhou, extending in all directions.
It is connected to Qingxu on the top and controls Yanyu on the side.
Such an important place must be fought for by military strategists!
This also means that this is the place of four battles.
Sun Quan can attack Xuzhou and Yuzhou through Huainan.
Similarly, Cao Cao can also attack Huainan through the various connections between Xuzhou and Yuzhou.
The geographical location extending in all directions is not conducive to defense!
"General Lu, you are not alone in looking down on Jiangdong Army."
"Once Cao's army crosses the Huaihe River, Jiangdong's army will have no choice but to flee in panic..."
Liu Zhang's words were very unpleasant, and he completely regarded Jiangdong's 80,000 troops stationed in Huainan as nothing!
But Lu Meng didn't dare to show dissatisfaction at all, and even agreed with it in his heart.
There are many waters in Huainan, but compared with Jingzhou, Jiangdong is still inferior.
Here, it is still a battlefield where cavalry gallops!
Jiangdong's 180,000 troops could not even gather 5,000 cavalry.
How to resist the wolf-like tiger cavalry of Cao Jun?
"What King Qin said is absolutely true! In order to ensure that the land of Huainan does not fall into the hands of Cao's thieves, I am afraid that the Wu Guild will invest most of its troops..."
Lu Meng's intention was obvious and he could not send a large army to Jingzhou.
This was exactly the result Liu Zhang wanted to hear.
"General Lu, if Cao Cao launches an overwhelming army to attack Huainan, how many more troops can Jiangdong send to attack Jingzhou?"
Lu Meng thought seriously for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said a number.
"fifty thousand!"
"At most, there are 50,000 troops under Commander Lu Xun."
After a pause, he quickly added.
"If the war in Huainan becomes serious, we will have to send back reinforcements later..."
In fact, Lu Meng said this fifty thousand through gritted teeth!
What if Cao Cao attacks Jiangxia with his troops?
There may be very few soldiers and horses that can really attack Jingzhou!
"Fifty thousand? Or at most fifty thousand?"
"Haha, aren't General Lu Meng joking with Gu?"
Liu Zhang smiled coldly, showing a hint of joking.
"Gu Xian doesn't worry about the minimum number of people sent out, nor does he ask what results can be achieved with 50,000 people."
"I want to ask you something. The Qin State of Gu sent at least 200,000 troops, and your Jiangdong army sent up to 50,000 troops. With such a comparison of forces, do you still want to divide Jingzhou equally? Is there such a good thing in the world?"
"If this is the case, why not ask Cao Cao and support him with ten thousand people, and then divide Yangzhou equally?"
When Lu Meng heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
It turned out that what he thought was fair was not fair at all in Liu Zhang’s eyes!
"Prince Qin, that's not what I meant! I..."
"Then what do you mean? Taking advantage of Gu Gu?"
Liu Zhang interrupted Lu Meng directly and glanced at him lightly.
His tone seemed calm, but actually he was hiding anger.
The scene also became frozen again because of Liu Zhang's sudden change.
Lu Meng held his breath, not daring to take a breath for fear of offending Liu Zhang again.
He was so confused that he angered King Qin again.
This made Lu Meng complain endlessly.
At the same time, I secretly cursed myself for not boasting just now, let alone for being so self-righteous!
Poof!
Just when Lu Meng was filled with regret, a laughter suddenly came.
The voice was light and agile, breaking the stalemate in an instant.
It's Sun Xiaomei.
She pursed her lips and a blush appeared on her face.
He seemed a little embarrassed because he couldn't hold back his laughter.
After a while, Sun Xiaomei couldn't help her curiosity, so she could only ask Liu Zhang weakly.
"Qin...Qin Wang, what is...taken advantage of?"
