At that time, he chose to support Zhou Yu and join forces with Liu to fight against Cao Cao. What a great decision it was.

Back then, he trusted Zhou Yu, gave him absolute power, and defeated Cao Cao. What a wise lord he was.

Back then, he personally led an army to confront Cao Cao's army and did not lose. What a heroic performance it was.

However, in this letter, all the credit for the Battle of Chibi was attributed to Zhou Yu, but he seemed to be an incompetent person who could not fight the war without Zhou Yu.

Now, he is still immersed in the joy of victory back then, and he feels that he is so wise and powerful, and that the world in front of him is just at his fingertips.

But now such a letter appeared, how could this make him not angry.

However, he buried this thought deep in his heart and said seriously: "Ziming, where did you get this letter from?"

Lu Meng cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to my lord, this letter was sent back by a scout, but he didn't know where it came from. The general was a little unsure, so he hurried back to ask my lord for instructions."

When Sun Quan heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. He thought: "Ameng under Wu back then has enlightened himself and knows how to report everything to me. In this regard, he is much better than Zhou Gongjin! He is really great.

use!"

He suddenly remembered that when he accidentally saw Lu Meng, he felt that this person was very loyal, and then persuaded Lu Meng to read a book.

It was his casual persuasion that made Lu Meng respect and admire him even more.

He said sternly: "Although Cao Cao has never paid attention to going south since Chibi and Nanjun, I know that he will never forget the pain of our defeat of him that year, and he will definitely make a comeback."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, and they all began to speculate about the content of the letter.

Moreover, based on Sun Quan's quotation, they all guessed that the letter contained news that Cao Cao was about to invade.

Sun Quan looked at the silent and panic-stricken crowd, and he couldn't help but have an idea in his mind: "Although these people are good, they are indeed far behind Zhou Gongjin."

He said sternly: "However, even if he comes, we will make him flee back in despair just like he did in Jingzhou!"

When Lu Meng heard this, he couldn't believe that Sun Quan had such confidence. He quickly asked: "Could it be that my lord has been prepared for this?"

Sun Quan said seriously: "Although Cao Cao occupies several states in the north, has a vast territory, a large population, and strong financial resources, he has a gap that is difficult to cross. That is the natural danger of the Yangtze River!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod silently. They might have had some doubts about this before, but after Red Cliff, they no longer had any doubts.

The natural advantage they have is the natural barrier of the Yangtze River.

Sun Quan said sternly: "If Cao Cao wants to attack Jiangdong, he must break through the gap of the Yangtze River. And if he wants to break through this gap, he must have a refined naval force. Obviously, Cao Cao does not have this."

Hearing this, Lu Meng couldn't help but frown. The many books he had read over the years had indeed given him a lot of knowledge.

And there is one point in it: "Don't rely on the enemy's inability, but rely on your own."

However, what Sun Quan said now was completely contrary to what he thought, so he began to become confused.

But he didn't say it out loud because Sun Quan didn't seem to have finished speaking.

Just listen to Sun Quan say at the end: "Even if Cao Cao has the same naval army as Chibi, I still have a way to prevent him from entering the Yangtze River!"

After hearing this, Lu Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly asked: "I wonder what kind of plan my lord has made?"

Sun Quan was very satisfied with Lu Meng's echoing way of asking questions, and the way he looked at Lu Meng became more and more appreciative.

He said seriously: "Now that Jingzhou is guarded by Guan Yu's navy and Jiangxia is guarded by Lu Zijing, it is no longer possible for Cao Cao to enter the Yangtze River from Jingzhou like he did in Chibi."

He paused for a moment and then said: "In this case, he can only enter the river through Chaohu Lake and Ruxukou from Ruxushui!"

When Sun Quan said this, Lu Meng couldn't help being slightly startled. He looked up at Sun Quan, his eyes full of admiration and respect.

Because when he came to Jianye from the station this time, he had already discovered the important status of Ruxushui.

It is almost the largest tributary that enters the Yangtze River along the way, and is large enough to carry large warships through.

Just listen to Sun Quan say again: "The Ruxu River is now completely under our control. We only need to be prepared where Chaohu enters the Ruxu River. No matter how many troops Cao Cao has, he can't do anything to Jiangdong.

"

What Sun Quan said is indeed true.

Although Cao Cao had a powerful army, he had logistics supplies that Sun Quan and Liu Bei could not match, and he also had powerful cavalry.

But when he arrived in Jiangdong, he felt that he was unable to use his strength.

All his strength has been melted away by the river that isolates the two sides.

After all, he uses his own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths.

"Yes! What my lord said is true. As long as he can guard the entrance to the Yangtze River, Cao Cao, no matter how strong he is, will not be able to do anything!"

"My lord, with that said, the defenses at Ruxukou should be strengthened immediately to prepare for emergencies."

"That's right! Lord, I am willing to lead the troops to strengthen the defense!"

…

As Sun Quan finished speaking, the counselors and generals sitting on the couches in the hall began to chime in with their voices.

Sun Quan seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said: "Speaking of guarding against the wet mouth, I suddenly thought of a way. I don't know if it is feasible."

"My lord, please speak clearly."

"It would be better for me to wait and consult with the Lord in detail."

"I wonder what my lord wants to say?"

…

I don’t know if these people suddenly became excited and even cooperated with Sun Quan.

Sun Quan said sternly: "In order to better consolidate the defense of Ruxushui, I want to build a fortress at Ruxukou that can prevent Cao's army from advancing."

In fact, it was just a preliminary idea, and it was not necessarily implemented, so he proposed it here for the generals and counselors to review.

However, as soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused different opinions among the generals.

Only one person came forward and said: "When we fight in the navy, we always go ashore to attack thieves and then get into the ship. What's the use of setting up this dock?"

"Yes! My lord, General Cheng is right. We rely on water to fight. We don't need any forts. It would be a waste to build them."

"And if we build a dock, it is equivalent to learning skills from Cao Jun. Wouldn't this destroy my prestige?"
