The reception banquet under the presidency of the Jingzhou Government and Lu Su was half-hearted, and the red tape and false gifts were over.

Of course, this half-heartedness is only for the invited boss Li Su.

As a welcomed guest, Gu Yong not only spoke less but also drank less and could not let go of it. During the meal, Li Su and Lu Su were both angry and liked to talk about military affairs. Gu Yong was still a little worried when he saw their eagerness to use troops.

Gu Yong is not good at military affairs, and his understanding of military tactics is limited to the regular laws and regulations, and he does not know how to think about the same-scene way.

Li Su was not intentionally making fun of others, but just wanted to show her temperament. After drinking a cup of Jiangyang Laojiao, which was about 38 degrees, he ate a few bites of roasted sturgeon and iron plate four-gilled bass, walked over and grabbed Gu Yong, and went out of the house to climb high and look into the distance.

Lu Su also held the wine glass and guided them in advance, and introduced his colleagues to the park as the host to visit his own residence.

If you were to serve wine in the military camp, it would be very convenient to show off at this moment, but who would have been in the yamen of the governor? Fortunately, the yamen of the governor is not far from the city wall in the north. There are also high buildings in the mansion that are above the city wall, which is more than the city wall, just looking at the Yangtze River and Ligong Lake Wharf in the distance outside the wall.

Li Su stood firmly to prevent himself from shaking, and pointed at him with all his fingers: "Yuansan, observe the effectiveness of my military training, are the soldiers in the newly trained Northland strong?"

Gu Yong: "A real bear and tiger."

Li Su was slightly stunned and thought to himself: I know you are not a person, but why does this kind of politeness in dealing with errands sound so much?

It seems that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has indeed vilified the argumentative people like Jiang Gan. If Jiang Gan is good at speaking and observing words and expressions, he must have just looked at the environment and the environment and the objective conditions are insufficient to persuade him to surrender, so he shut up.

The words that Jiang Gan said in the Romance were touched to those who were really not good at speaking, but were not good at dealing with errands. Instead, they were not suitable.

Li Su felt a little bit cramped in her heart, and then she tried to tease her: "Where is the formation of our naval warship? "

Gu Yong nodded: "It's unstoppable."

Li Su touched her nose and always felt that it would be strange to continue talking. So she stopped her joking tone and was ready to sincerely enlighten Gu Yong: "Since that's the case, why do Yuan Tan have some doubts about our army's approaching the situation and sending troops at will? But do you think the preparation measures Zi Jing told you are not perfect enough?"

Gu Yong hurriedly bowed and thanked: "How dare you? Sikong was good at managing the Rong army. The military needs were prepared properly and were only fully prepared for Yong's life. Flower dew water, wind oil essence, anti-worm medicine, cold and wind-removing medicine, rain gear, firewood, brown sugar, ginger and garlic are all available. If Yong came to prepare, he would never have thought it would be so comprehensive.

But if you have to go against the right time and place and create opportunities for war, it is better to go with the flow and treat it without doing anything. These risks are increased out of thin air because of forced attempts to use troops in May. No matter how complete it is, there will inevitably be some flaws. It is better to wait for two months. By half of July, the weather will naturally be cooler and the soldiers in the north will naturally suffer less illness."

Li Su shook his head indifferently. He didn't expect Gu Yong to have any tricks, but it was enough to know that the other party's starting point was good. Gu Yong could only complete the tasks assigned by the leader and the things required by the leader, even if he didn't understand, it was enough.

Li Su said to the point of being: "What Yuan Tan said is the right way of military strategy. But what we know, how could Zhou Yu and Cao Cao not know? Maybe he would give Zhou Yu two more months. By July, his consolidation will be more thorough, and he can completely eliminate the adverse effects of Sun Ce's new mourning as much as possible.

We recently chose to move troops. Sun Ce has only been dead for more than three months. If we wait for another two months, it will be more than five months after Sun Ce's death. The impact of these two months on people's hearts cannot be ignored.

As for why we didn't fight faster at the beginning, it was because Cao's army first arrived in Jiangbei and was also a newcomer, and our reinforcements had not arrived. Secondly, Yuzhang Luling around Chaisang did not completely submit to us. Our army was unstable and the military supplies could not be provided by the frontline. They had to be transported from Xiangyang, Jiangling, Changsha and other places.

Therefore, I think the stalemate period of these three months is not long or short. If we delay for a long time, our army's strength will no longer increase, and the enemy's rear will become more and more stable. Including the trend of one rising and the other falling, it is the most beneficial to take action now."

Gu Yong remained silent after hearing this, slowly digesting the spirit of the leader. Lu Su, who was beside him, did not interrupt at first. Seeing that Li Su finished speaking, Gu Yong didn't know how to deal with it, he added a few words:

"Brother Yuan Tan, Sikong has already figured out all aspects. Do you know that our army's detailed work at the forefront of Chaisang, Poyang and other places have recently found out what new response measures did the Wu people on the opposite side have?

You should know that in Jiangdong, when Sun Cebemeng started war with us, Linyi rice had been popularized for two years. This year should have been the third year for double-season rice planting, but double-season medium-season rice means that it will be harvested and planted in less than half a month from late June to early July, and harvest early rice transplanted late rice.

The wheat planting places in the north and even in the south did not plant double-season rice. In summer, it was slack farming, and only spring and autumn harvest was the busiest. With double-season rice, the hottest time in summer would be more busy for half a month, and the middle days were super busy.

However, this year, the people of Danyang and Wujun were advised by Zhou Yu to re-train Sun Quan to keep the rice in the fields for a long time, and then they will only harvest and not replant, and only produce one season of grain this year.

What Zhou Yu wanted to do to recruit the people was already obvious. He just hoped to expand the source of new peasant soldiers in the summer, defend the enemy to ensure that the key passes are everywhere, and to consume the savings of previous years. Because of Zhou Yu's forced, the people in Huangshan border areas in the south of Danyang occasionally abandoned their hometowns and fled to Poyang. Only by our careful work can we find out these details.

If Sikong really fights after half of July, the people of Wuhui will be on the battlefield by Dora, and both sides will suffer more. Now, at least Zhou Yu can think we will not take action when we are about to enter the hottest season, so that they cannot prepare enough."

After hearing these new information, Gu Yong realized that those who are good at using the military are similar. Li Su felt that the season for taking the right path is the most suitable season for sending troops, and it is also the season for Zhou Yu to defend the most closely.

Maybe Zhou Yu also knew that it would be a death to drag it down, so he ran out of the waters and pointed to the current wave of waves, regardless of the economic explosion and the army exploded to the peak state. Maybe he would severely damage Li Su's main force and even annihilate some of it, so that he could achieve peace in one battle for several years. Otherwise, the three counties of Wu and Yue will be consumed sooner or later.

Zhou Yu's idea cannot be miscalculated. Before the Battle of Red Cliff in history, Cao Cao only captured Jingzhou and was beaten back after the Battle of Red Cliff. Didn't he stabilize the situation in the south? On the Yangtze River, because there is no danger to defend in the water battle, if you want to fight, you must always gather all your troops to fight and decide the outcome in one go. It is impossible to consume the stalemate for a long time.

This is determined by the differences in sea and land characteristics and has nothing to do with people. Land defense wars can have long-term and low-cost defensive confrontation. Because the military roads of the dangerous passes may be defended with one-tenth of the attacking side.

There is no danger on the water, and the water bodies around the world are connected, so there is no fortress defense battle on the water, only the decisive battle of the main fleet - this is completely pointed out in the later generations Ma Han's "Theory of the Sea Power". Although Zhou Yu was an ancient person, he also had a little simple experience in this area.

Just look at the ground battlefield tug-of-war in later generations and various tricks fought so many battles, and there was only one naval battle between Jutland.

Because only if the main fleet has the possibility of victory in the decisive battle of the Navy will come out to fight you. Otherwise, they will only rely on intelligence to deceive the enemy and divide the troops, and then have the advantageous forces in the local area to eat up some of them and gradually erode them. There is no such opportunity, and only Turtle Port, which becomes a fleet of existence, defending the only main home port.

For Zhou Yu, the Wankou-Hulin line is basically the last home port of life and death for the Jiangdong Navy, and there is no possibility of another decisive battle in the fleet.

If a part of it is wiped out here and the remaining part is expected to escape downstream after losing, then it will only be even more unbeatable next time. Whether it is dead or alive, it will determine the winner or lose.

On the other hand, Zhou Yu had another reason to prepare for Li Su in July. In fact, even Li Su and Lu Su didn't know about it at this moment, because of insufficient intelligence. After Zhou Yu returned, he reviewed the disastrous defeat at the beginning of the year and realized that the reason why he lacked the counterattack against Li Su's ship fleet was also related to the right time and place in the winter decisive battle.

In the winter of the first lunar month this year, in 198, there was no small probability of "southeast wind event" ten years later in history, and there was no fantasy prayer and sacrifice wind. For the downstream troops, winter was originally against the wind, at most it was a crosswind.

Zhou Yu is also good at using fire attack, but now both the enemy and us know how to use a large number of super-long poles to support the enemy's boat to reduce fire attack damage, so the success rate of fire attack has become unprecedentedly reduced.

In winter, under the windy or sidewind environment, Zhou Yu's ship is really difficult to attack and fight back and destroy the large ships of the Han army. However, once this disadvantage is dragged to summer, after half of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the chance of taking trouble in chaos will greatly increase.

Moreover, when Sha Xian was fighting in the Battle of Chibi, the battlefield was equivalent to the border between Hunan and Hubei in later generations, and it was already inland central China. Even if it survived until summer, it would not be affected by typhoons.

However, after the Jiangdong Army lost more than 800 miles of Yangtze River coastal areas, the battlefield moved to Anhuikou and Hulin, which was more than half of the sea. It was equivalent to fighting in southern Jiangsu and southern Anhui. The impact of typhoons at the turn of summer and autumn in the lunar calendar must not be ignored. Maybe large ships, tower ships and even five-tooth warships will suffer major adverse depreciation.

You should know that in history, the battle of the Western Jin Dynasty to destroy Wu occurred in the 10th lunar month of the 2nd lunar month of the following year, and the entire process was four months, but it fully utilized the golden period of combat with the winds of the Lou Ship fleet in winter and the wind was stable.

In the history of the Sui Dynasty's defeat of Chen, the map confrontation was also similar. It was from the 11th lunar month of 588 to the end of the first lunar month of the following year, and it was also winter. Moreover, because Chen was too handsome, the battle lasted two months faster than the Jin Dynasty's defeat of Wu.

(Note: This is also because Chen's territory is smaller. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Chen's territory did not include Jingzhou. The front-line defense fortress had shrunk to Jiangxi, and even Xiakou was lost, which was equivalent to the first line of defense with Chaisang in the late Han Dynasty. In the late Eastern Wu, there was still Jingzhou. The Jin army had to start fighting from Zigui and Yiling, so the fight was slow.)

The ability of large tower ships in Jin and the Five-Tooth Warships in Sui to show their power has a lot to do with the lack of strong winds and chaotic winds in winter. They make up for the disadvantages of these ships' center of gravity and unstable seaworthiness.

After the typhoon season and the battlefield also moved down to the typhoon area, the situation will be very different. Dong Xi, one of the "Twelve Tiger Ministers on the River" who died in Shaxian, originally died in Luxuwu, not far from Anhuikou in history. He died because of the strong winds and chaotic winds that blew the tower ship overturned and sank. This kind of super strong wind is extremely rare in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and it is only more likely to reach the downstream.

From this perspective, although Zhou Yu was defeated by Li Su before, he was able to hold back the situation, delay the unfavorable period of winter, and delay the decisive battle with Li Su until summer. Zhou Yu used all his skills and used all his water to fight the famous generals.

But Li Su would not let him delay until the season when the typhoon was really raging in the late summer. He would have to make a time difference in advance during the plum rainy season.
