At this time, the front committee of China Red 2 Corps thought that the rivers between Nanxian and Changde were vertical and horizontal, and it was inconvenient for large troops to move, so it was decided to take public security (now Nanping) first, and then attack Changde through Lizhou (now Lixian).
