'胸' is metaphor for "one's mind (brain)"

[胸怀 (verb) mind contains= **possess**]

[文韬武略 (object) theoretical and practical military knowledge]

> 据说鲁肃这个人**胸怀**文韬武略
>
> It was said that this man, Lu Su, **possessed** great military knowledge

胸怀 in other context can also mean 'have ~ within one's heart/ mind'

Example:

* **胸怀**大志 (**possess** great ambition/ **have** great ambition **within** one's heart/ mind )
