樞密使張浚方視師金陵，悆以策說之曰：「金重兵在淮東，師老食匱，若以精兵二萬一自壽陽，一自漢上，徑趨舊京，當不戰而退，繼以大軍尾擊，蔑有不濟者。 Military Affairs Commissioner Zhang Jun was then inspecting troops at Jinling. Chou Yu urged a plan on him: "The Jin have massed their army in Huaidong; their troops are weary and their supplies exhausted. Send twenty thousand elite troops—one column from Shouyang, one from the Han River—straight for the old capital, and the enemy should withdraw without a fight. Then follow with a larger army, and success is certain.
