Jiangxia is a piece of territory protruding from Jingzhou in the east, surrounded by rivers, the geographical location is very dangerous, it is a gateway to Jingzhou, and it is a stepping stone to enter Jingzhou.For Liu Qi, Zhou Yu didn't pay attention to it, Liu Biao is relatively mediocre, his eldest son's ability is also limited, as long as he uses a little trick, Jiangxia will not become his bag "How many sailors are there in Liu Qi" Zhou Yu asked."
About five thousand."
Gan Ning replied."
There are not many troops, and we are twice as many as him."
Zhou Yu laughed, then looked at the riverside, there were only a dozen small boats scattered around, and couldn't help frowning and said, "There are only these few broken boats, how can you fight with Liu Qi's sailors on the water" "I searched the neighborhood, and I only found so many." ”Gan Ning spread his hands."
No way, there are a lot of fishermen in this area, and at least you can get a few hundred boats."
Zhou Yu didn't believe it."
Those fishermen said that Wen Ping took the fishing boat away in advance."
Gan Ning said."
Wen Ping, a guy who doesn't share the sky with our Sun family, is actually in Jiangxia" Zhou Yu was very surprised, obviously not knowing that Wen Ping was assisting Liu Qi in Jiangxia."
According to the report of the spies, after Wenpin captured Changsha, he took the initiative to apply to come to Jiangxia, and I don't know why."
Gan Ning said."
There is a clerk to help Liu Qi, Jiangxia is not easy to fight."
Zhou Yu sighed."
General Zhou, we can build warships, and our troops are also good at water warfare."
Gan Ning said."
Building a warship is a matter of the future, our main enemy at present is Liu Xuan, our main task is to seize a large territory south of Yuzhang, and taking Jiangxia is just a matter of taking sheep.Since Jiangxia has a civil servant, and I don't have a warship, I'm afraid it's not an opponent if I insist on fighting. ”Zhou Yu said."
On the other side of the river is the residence of Jiangxia's sailors, let's leave some men and horses here to watch out."
Gan Ning pointed to the opposite side of the Yangtze River."
The land of Jiangxia is not our focus, why waste troops stationed here, anyway, Liu Qi does not have many people, and they are all sailors, and his land combat ability is not strong.Zhou Yu said with a smile."
General Zhou."
Gan Ning said admiringly.Zhou Yu didn't stay long, and together with Gan Ning, he led the troops back to Chaisang City to discuss future plans with Sun Ce and others.On the issue of advancing Yuzhang, all generals have different opinions, and Gan Ning and other fast-advancing generals hope to take advantage of the victory to attack and win Yuzhang in one fell swoop, so as to achieve the effect of once and for all.However, Cheng Pu and other stable factions believed that Yuzhang had heavy troops, and it was not effective to immediately transfer troops to attack, so it was better to cut off the connection south of Yuzhang with surprise troops, isolate Yuzhang, and then attack it.Zhou Yu's opinion is different, Liu Xuan's territory is not small, and Sun Ce's current military strength can't swallow this elephant in one bite, and he must slowly gnaw Liu Xuan away by cannibalization."
When will we gnaw on this, our combat power is enough to swallow Yuzhang in one bite, he Liu Xuan's side is full of three-legged cat generals, and the generals around the lord are like clouds, and beating Liu Xuan is not as simple as eating."
Cheng Pu said disdainfully."
General Cheng is right, I am willing to lead 5,000 men to fight the vanguard."
Gan Ning said."
As the saying goes, if you want to be fast, it's better to be steady."
Huang Gai said."
I support General Cheng and General Gan."
Han Dang said."
I support General Zhou."
Lu Meng said.All the generals expressed their opinions, but none of them agreed on it, but Sun Ce did not say a word."
Lord, what do you mean?"
asked Ding Feng."
I want to hear the reason why Zhou Yu used a cannibalization strategy."
Sun Ce said."
On the issue of Yuzhang, the lord must not be in a hurry to forge ahead, we still have one of our biggest enemies, Yuan Shu.Although Yuan Shu did not send troops to rescue Liu Xuan, he reinforced 30,000 horses to Yangzhou, and at this time Yangzhou's troops are estimated to have more than 50,000 people, and they can attack Chaisang at any time, and the lord must not take it lightly. ”Zhou Yu said."
I'm worried about this, although Yuan Shu doesn't have any outstanding generals, he has a lot of soldiers and horses, which seriously threatens me."
Sun Ce said."
In my estimation, Yuan Shu is heavily armed in Yangzhou Tun, just to see what the lord will do next, and he definitely won't want the lord to become a powerful overlord after swallowing Liu Xuan, so" Zhou Yu was interrupted by Sun Ce before he finished speaking."
Therefore, as long as I attack Yuzhang, Yuan Shu will definitely send troops, and then Liu Shu will take the opportunity to counterattack and attack Yuan Shu on both sides, and I will be in a big situation."
Sun Ce understood.All the generals gave a thumbs up, and Zhou Yu's analysis was very reasonable, which was really convincing."
It may not be appropriate to use the method of encroachment, once Yuan Shu finds out that Yuzhang is dangerous, he will go out of Yangzhou and join Liu Xuan to attack me."
Sun Ce's worries are all reasonable, although Yuan Shu is incompetent, he is not necessarily stupid."
That's not necessarily, the lord only needs to wait for an opportunity, and then Hou Yuanshu will definitely not save Liu Xuan."

Zhou Yu said with a smile."
Oh," Sun Ce suddenly realized."
What kind of opportunity is it" Gan Ning and others were puzzled and asked each other."
Heaven must not be divulged."
Zhou Yu laughed."
You love generals don't need to say much, I decided to use Zhou Yu's strategy, during this period, everyone must go all out to collect grain and grass, there is food, there are soldiers, I need more soldiers and horses to attack Yuzhang."
After Sun Ce finished announcing it, he ordered a banquet to celebrate the successful capture of Chaisang.Sun Ce's attack on Chaisang had already alarmed Yuan Shu, who was close to Yangzhou and seriously threatened his territory, so he quietly came to Yangzhou to inspect the military situation and was hesitant to help Liu Xuan.Ji Ling's main battle, as long as the 50,000 army came out, Sun Ce could only obediently retreat to Wu County, and he would never dare to fight.But Yuan Shu has other plans, as long as Sun Ce does not touch the bottom line of Yuzhang, he can turn a blind eye to his capture of Chaisang, the reason is very simple, Yuan Shu does not want to conflict with Sun Ce, otherwise it will affect his ascension to the throne and become emperor.Ji Ling said: "Lord, even if you let Sun Ce go now, he will be against you in the future, why not take this opportunity to drive him out of Chaisang" Yuan Shu said: "Not necessarily, I let him go, let him get Chaisang, in fact, it is my strategy."
In the future, if Sun Ce dares to make a mistake, he should think that Chaisang is in my bag, and I can eat Chaisang at any time.Ji Ling said: "I'm afraid that Sun Ce has other plans, and his subordinates are also fierce generals." ”Yuan Shu laughed: "No matter how many fierce generals there are, I have raised more than 200,000 horses recently, and he Sun Ce will only have tens of thousands of horses to support him, how is my opponent only waiting for 300,000 to be raised, I will ascend the throne and become the emperor." ”Ji Ling said: "The lord should contact a few more allies, and he will not be isolated in the future. ”Yuan Shu said: "I have already sent someone to contact Lu Bu and Yuan Shao, I believe there will be news soon." ”Ji Lingxi said: "Yuan Shao's strength has increased by leaps and bounds recently, if he takes care of it, the lord can rest assured that he will ascend the throne." ”:
