But Zhao Yun soon discovered a problem. The horses of these cavalry were relatively short and were all inferior. He asked Sun Quan: "Lord, why are the horses of our army all inferior? This is a loss in the battle."

Sun Quan smiled and said, "Does Zilong think this is not good at writing horses? They also have advantages."

Zhao Yun said in confusion: "Lord, there is nothing compared to the top horse."

Sun Quan asked, "Zilong, you can ride this Western Region horse that you are waiting for now. It runs very fast. How about your endurance?"

Zhao Yun said: "You can run quickly for an hour and run eighty miles."

Sun Quan pointed to the Mongolian horses who were training and said, "But these horses may only run sixty-seven miles in the first hour. They are a little slower, and their legs are shorter, so they are not that fast. But they can run for two consecutive hours, and there is no problem for three hours. Their endurance is much better than those of the top horses. Moreover, because their legs are shorter, but thicker, there will be no horse stuttering. Moreover, after installing the horseshoe, their endurance and adaptability are stronger."

"Horse-shoe?" Zhao Yun was a little confused.

Sun Quan said: "If you ask Luo Tong again, let's talk about the tactics of the horses and cavalry first. Then most of the war horses here are mares. One advantage of these mares is that they have horse milk. When fighting, if they have water or hunger, they have no dry food, then these horse milk can save the army's life."

When Zhao Yun heard this, why did he never think so before and said, "Lord is so smart, I admire you!"

Sun Quan continued: "The biggest advantage of these horses is that they have strong survivability and can eat hay and dry grass. If we go out to fight, we don't have to worry about horse feed. They can support themselves in the wild and ensure their physical strength."

Zhao Yun also thought this was indeed very good, but if he was fighting, he could not withstand the impact of the top horse, so he said, "Lord, but this cannot make up for the disadvantages of rushing to the formation!"

Sun Quan said to Luo Tong: "Team Commander Luo, tell you Commander Zhao about our cavalry tactics."

Luo Tong replied loudly: "Yes." Then he introduced: "Our cavalry tactics are also tailored by the lord for us war horses. Except for General Taishi and General Taishi, no one else knows this tactics. You can find that our soldiers will carry more arrow bags than Cao's cavalry, which is the tactics of our cavalry. First of all, our army generally does not hedge against the enemy. We will first shoot arrows when the enemy is in the range, and then we will not rush forward, but will turn back and retreat while retreating. Of course, we will be quick to the enemy's war horses, and after running for a while, we will slowly close the distance. At this time, we will borrow the terrain or go around directly. At this time, the enemy's war horses have lost the initial explosive power, and the speed will slowly decrease. When we turn back to the duel, we have the advantage on both sides."

Sun Quan then added: "This tactic is mainly to lure the enemy to chase after it first. This time, it can consume some of the physical strength of the enemy's war horses, and then make up for the short defects of our war horses. So I asked our cavalry to practice more archery and chopping. Of course, because our army's food is good, our cavalry's physical strength and endurance are also good."

After listening to the cavalry tactics, everyone also felt that Sun Quan was indeed powerful. If the horses were not good, they would make up for the tactics. Zhao Yun felt that he was very hit and said to Sun Quan: "My lord, he can actually think of such a tactic."

Sun Quan said to everyone: "In fact, when fighting, the so-called "fighting after formation, the application lies in one's heart" to require us to be able to analyze the enemy's disadvantages and our advantages, and then we should make good use of our advantages and find ways to expose the enemy's disadvantages, so we can fight and win."

Zhou Yu took the lead in flattering and said, "Lord is really a talented person. Yu is taught!" Then a bunch of people began to flatter. Sun Quan waved his hand and smiled, "Okay, I know a little bit about the theory. You still have to command the specific battle. Let's go back to the camp, remember to go to the big tent to stop in the evening, and we have to continue discussing major issues."

After Sun Quan summoned everyone to gather in the tent in the evening, he did not discuss it directly in the tent. Instead, he found a large open space in the camp. Special forces were standing guard a hundred meters away, and a barbecue fire was set up in the middle. He leaned against the mutton, and the group gathered around to eat meat while discussing military aircraft.

Sun Quan said while cutting his flesh: "The General Staff first talks about your analysis."

After hearing this, Xu Shu put down the mutton in his hand, picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea, and said, "Lord, colleagues, we made the judgment of our General Staff based on the intelligence and the situation of all parties: First, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will definitely make up their minds to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight; Second, although Cao Cao has already carried out a chain of iron chains, he will definitely choose to fight in winter, and he will be done when the southeast wind blows in spring. So our General Staff's suggestion is: the best strategy is to calculate the date of the wind, and then in the time of the wind, use fire to break the Cao army's water camp, defeat Cao Cao, and at the same time mobilize Liu Bei to participate in the attack on Cao Cao. Our army arranged a surprise weapon to attack Jiangxia and seize Liu Bei's foundation, so that we will eliminate our worries for our next capture of Jingzhou."

Zhou Yu said: "Will Zhongce join forces with Liu Bei to defeat Cao Cao and not destroy Liu Bei?"

Xu Shu said: "Yes, the worst thing is that we will go to war with both families at the same time!"

Pang Tong said: "Lord, I think we are going to go to war with the two families at the same time. After this Zilong incident, Liu Bei will no longer be sincere in joining forces with us, and Cao Cao will definitely plan to destroy our two families at the same time. Liu Bei knew that only if we and Cao's army both suffered losses would he have a chance, so we have no other redundant choices."

Lu Su also expressed his opinion: "I also agree with Shi Yuan's opinion. The alliance can no longer continue now, but it is okay to deal with one of our strength alone. It may be a bit difficult to defeat two of them at the same time."

Cheng Puze said: "Zijing, don't increase the arrogance of others and destroy your own prestige. I think our army's combat effectiveness is enough." Zhao Yun's newcomer didn't speak, but Han Dang, Huang Gai, Huang Zhong, and Taishi Ci all expressed their confidence.

Sun Quan asked Zhao Yun, "Zilong, what do you think?"

Zhao Yun said: "Lord, I don't know much about the combat effectiveness of our Jiangdong, but I think it's too risky to fight two of our family. I think we should defeat Cao Cao first."
