Chapter 1012
It is definitely not a trivial matter to adjust the administrative divisions to restrain the people involved, so Liu Xie will call Sikong Zhou Zhong to Xingzailai to discuss with Situ Yangbiao.

He himself does not participate in it, and is only responsible for reviewing the results of their discussions.

The focus of his work is on the military, which is mainly divided into three parts.

One is Shi Sunrui's plan to attack Yizhou, the other is the follow-up arrangements for Liaodong, and the other is to prepare in advance for possible changes in the situation in the Western Regions.

Regarding the arrangement of how to attack Yizhou, Liu Xie approached Taiwei Chief Shi Yang Fu, asked him his opinion on the current situation, and called relevant personnel from the lecture hall to listen together. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce also participated.

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

Because the Jingzhou war zone was originally assigned to Hussar General Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji and Ding Chong had already arrived in Jiangling and had been preparing for half a year.

Will Zhang Ji and Ding Chong be dissatisfied when Lou Gui, captain of the ship transfer ship school, and others go over at this time?
Yang Fu expressed his views.

First of all, the two-way attack on Yizhou is correct.

Yizhou resisted stubbornly, relying on nothing but Yizhou's mountains and rivers.However, people in Yizhou were not united. Those rich and powerful families opposed Dutian and were unwilling to accept the imperial edict, while ordinary people wished for an early unification.

Therefore, Yizhou's military strength is limited.The two attacks can be divided and conquered, and they can be defeated separately, so that they cannot concentrate their forces and stick to one place.

Secondly, although Yizhou also has naval forces, most of them are deployed in the Yong'an area in the east. The purpose is to guard against enemies coming from Jingzhou.If no offensive forces were arranged in Jingzhou, these navy divisions might go against the current and rush to the Baishuiguan area to block the Northern Army's navy divisions.

Although the Northern Army has a Louchuan battalion, it doesn't have many real warships. Facing the Yizhou Navy, there is basically no chance of winning.

Instead of this, it is better to transfer the Louchuan battalion to Jingzhou to contain the Yizhou Navy.

The reason why the Lou Chuanying was used instead of the Jiangdong Navy led by Sun Ce was because Liaodong was still undecided at that time, and the Taiwei Mansion did not know when it would end.Now that Liaodong has been set, Sun Ce's troops will withdraw to Qingzhou to rest, and of course they can be transferred to Jingzhou to join the war.

As for the opinions of Zhang Ji and Ding Chong, they are not that serious.

Even if the Louchuan battalion was transferred to Jingzhou, it would still be under the command of Hussar General Zhang Ji, and there was no possibility of fighting for merit.

Zhang Ji's subordinates are mainly Xiliang infantry, and they are not good at water warfare. This is something that anyone with a discerning eye knows.Although the Jingzhou navy was requisitioned, the people of Jingzhou refused to accept the dispatch and did not cooperate with each other tacitly. The Taiwei Mansion has long heard of it.

The reason why they didn't report for duty was because the war hadn't started yet, and the two sides just competed in secret, without tearing each other apart.Once a war starts, this discord will inevitably affect the battle.

Lou Gui and Huang Zhong are both from Nanyang, and they have common interests with both parties, and may play a role in mediation.

After Yang Fu finished speaking, he glanced at Sun Ce intentionally or unintentionally, and returned to his seat.

Sun Ce grimaced and said nothing.

Yang Fu's last sentence was tantamount to denying him the possibility of going to Jingzhou to fight.

Zhang Ji, Ding Chong and the Jingzhou navy seem to be at odds with each other, but he has an enmity with the Jingzhou navy.

The general who commanded the Jingzhou navy was Huang Zu, the chief culprit who ambushed Sun Jian in Xianshan.The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable.Even if he knows the basics again, he cannot guarantee peaceful coexistence with Huang Zu, and he has to fight side by side.

Even if he was willing, Huang Zu would not believe it.

Therefore, Tai Wei Jia Xu was deliberate in transferring the building boat camp to Jingzhou instead of letting him go to Jingzhou.

Sikong Zhou Zhong also knew this, so instead of recommending him to Jingzhou, it is better to recommend Zhou Yu to Jingzhou.

All in all, this battle has nothing to do with him.

After listening to Yang Fu's speech, Liu Xie looked at the others, signaling that they could speak freely without any worries.

It was the first time for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to participate in such a military meeting. They were a bit cautious and involved themselves, so it was not convenient to talk.

Discussing with each other in the martial arts hall, there is no thought of expressing opinions for the time being.

Pang Tong stood up, coughed, and said that Hussar General Zhang Ji, Chief Shi Dingchong and the generals from Jingzhou were at odds, he had heard a little bit about it, so he could explain it.

First of all, there is indeed a conflict between them, but it is not that serious, and it should not affect the combat.

Secondly, the origin of the conflict is not personal grievances, but the differences between the two sides on the pros and cons of water warfare.

Zhang Ji and Ding Chong hoped that the Jingzhou Navy could go upstream, reach Wu County and Yufu, and press the battle line to the gate of Yizhou.But they ignored a problem, even if the Jingzhou Navy reached the city of Yufu, if they could not conquer Yufu, it would still be useless.

The current of the Three Gorges is so fast that it is easy to go down the river, but difficult to go up the river.Once there is a stalemate, the subsequent transportation of grain and grass will become an unbearable burden.

However, Yufu is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With the current strength of the Jingzhou navy, it is almost impossible to conquer Yufu. On the contrary, it may be attacked by the Yizhou navy along the water, leading to a big defeat.

Zhang Ji and Ding Chong had no experience in water warfare, so they oversimplified the matter, thinking that Huang Zu and others despised them and refused to contribute, thus delaying the opportunity for combat.

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 will be no problem to contain the Yizhou Navy and create opportunities for the Northern Army. The Taiwei Mansion suggested that the boat battalion be transferred to Jingzhou. For this purpose, it does not necessarily mean that the designated Louchuan Battalion can break through the blocking of the Yizhou Navy and enter the hinterland of Yizhou."

He paused, then laughed lightly: "It depends on whether the Hussar General is willing to be a suspicious soldier."

Everyone was silent, with 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 planning to directly suppress Zhang Ji. Although Yang Fu wanted to defend Xiliang people, he was not interested in helping Zhang Ji win opportunities.As for the Jingzhou people, it is even more impossible to speak for Zhang Ji.

Pang Tong's sentence seemed to be an understatement, but in fact, it already accused Zhang Ji of only caring about his own selfishness and disregarding the lives of Jingzhou soldiers.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials.Zhang Ji was isolated and helpless, so he naturally became the target of public criticism.

To be honest, even he himself is not interested in speaking for Zhang Ji.

During the Huayin War, Zhang Ji performed the worst.If it wasn't for Duan Yan's restraint, he would probably support Li Jue and stab him in the back.

Letting Zhang Ji continue to be the Hussar General is already taking the overall situation into consideration.Let him make meritorious deeds again, is he going to be promoted to a general?
Does he fit too?
Despite this, Liu Xie said as calmly as possible: "General Hussars is also a veteran who has experienced many battles. Even if he is not familiar with water warfare, he will not be a person who fights in waves."

He turned to Sun Ce. "Bo Fu, if you lead your troops into battle, how sure are you of winning?"

Sun Ce was taken aback for a moment, and quickly stood up.

"I... have never been to the Three Gorges, so I dare not speak nonsense. But Your Majesty has an edict, and I will take the lead and speak out with all my might. I dare not say the outcome, but it will definitely be three points better than the Jingzhou Navy."
