Chapter 1017 Ready

In a blink of an eye, three months have passed.

The number one event that happened in the past three months was the death of Liu Xie.

Liu Xie was abused in Luoyang, and was forced by Guo Bang to issue an edict to abdicate to Guo Bang.

Guo Si proclaimed himself emperor.

Not long after becoming emperor, Liu Xie was starved to death.

After starving to death, the name of the big man is still there, but there is no emperor anymore.

There is no emperor in the world, and many people are ready to move and want to become emperor.

However, Zhang Yu and Cao Cao did not say anything, and Sun Ce became the third prince. None of these three princes became emperor, and the other princes could only endure it.

In three months, Zhang Yu went all out to develop, and recruited another group of soldiers and horses.

He used the wealth brought back from overseas to recruit soldiers and horses, and then sold a number of shops and land and houses in the city.

In this way, a large sum of military expenses was collected.

At the same time, a batch of salt and other commodities were sold off, and another sum of money was collected.

In this way, Zhang Yu recovered first.

Although he recovered, Zhang Yu was not in a hurry to attack, but was still training soldiers and horses.

Training soldiers and horses is very important. Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses are very fast.

In three months, Cao Cao also recovered a bit, but compared to Zhang Yu, he just stabilized the territory.

It is not so easy to get rid of the influence of the Son of Heaven. It is not so easy to extinguish the superficial ones secretly.

In addition, it was also difficult for him to gather food and grass. Relying on Zhang Yu's monopoly of products, he began to recover, but it was three months later than Zhang Yu.

Three months makes a big difference.

After several months of health and rest, Zhang Yu has recovered.

At this time, he is aggressive again and is planning where to attack.

Zhang Yu held a special cabinet meeting.

"Everyone, time waits for no one. According to news, the Roman Empire has already taken action. They are about to invade the East. When they are ready, they will invade on a large scale. We do not have the power of the whole country, so I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it." Zhang Yu said.

"For this reason, even if more sacrifices are made, the unification must be completed as soon as possible."

After Zhang Yu finished speaking, several people began to study the map.

The meeting room of the cabinet is specially set up, and there are various maps in it.

Guo Jia held a wooden stick, then pointed to the map and said: "My lord, we have the most advantage in attacking Jizhou. Jizhou has been surrounded, and there are attack locations everywhere. Attack one or two places first, and wait for other places to show flaws. Cut in quickly."

After Guo Jia explained, everyone agreed.

Zhang Yu also nodded and said, "That's right, it's a good idea. Now we have an absolute advantage on the western front."

Cao Cao's eastern front was more important, and more soldiers and horses were deployed, while on the western front, they transported food, grass, soldiers and horses from the eastern front, and the cost was too high.

Zhang Yu is rich and powerful, and he doesn't care about these losses.

"My lord, we should make more preparations and not be too anxious. It will take at least three months." Zhang Zhao said.

Now the entire territory is still burdened, so in order to maintain a certain development, Zhang Zhao does not agree to launch an attack so quickly.

Zhang Yu didn't care too much about these things, anyway, he just made a request, and the cabinet will arrange everything after that.

Cao Cao may have also sensed that Zhang Yu was going to attack, and had been making urgent preparations.

The two sides are preparing for another round of battle.

When Cao Cao began to prepare, Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses had already been trained.

Then there is the transportation of grain and grass.

This time Zhang Yu transported grain and grass in an all-round way, from the east to the west, all places were supplemented with grain and grass.

A large amount of grain and grass were transported in the past,

It is very confusing, and now Cao Cao can't figure out where Zhang Yu is going to attack.

Now Zhang Yu is from Jiangdong to Bingzhou, half of China's frontier is controlled by Zhang Yu, and Cao Cao may be attacked anywhere.

Cao Cao has not been having a good time recently.

Ever since Zhang Yu practiced a lot of soldiers and restored the number of soldiers and horses to two million, he was very troubled.

There are many things to worry about.

Cao Cao called his staff to discuss day after day, and he has no time to deal with government affairs now.

If it weren't for Cheng Yu, Cao Ang and a group of people helping him, Cao Cao doesn't know what kind of chaos he would be in now.

"My lord, according to my subordinates' judgment, Zhang Yu will attack from the west and feint from the east at the same time," Cheng Yu judged.

Xu You didn't think so, he said: "Meng De, Zhang Yu's cabinet, Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Chen Gong, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, any of the five are great talents. Zhang Yu's boldness, this time when he is ready, it will definitely not be easy."

"If it hadn't been for the burning of hundreds of thousands of troops last time, the battle might not have ended, and our resources would have been exhausted."

As soon as Xu You said, everyone felt that it was extremely troublesome.

Jia Xu said: "My lord, Zhang Yu's purpose is very clear. One is to seize the territory, the other is to kill our vital forces, even if we die together, and the other is to consume our resources."

"From these three aspects, attacking the western front is the best, but Zhang Yu has a large number of soldiers and horses, and has multiple fronts to attack us at the same time, and there is no two-front battle, but we are in danger of two-front battle."

As soon as Jia Xu said, Cao Cao had a big head, and what they said had some truth, or all truth, but different choices had different truths.

Zhang Yu is like this, Cao Cao is very uncomfortable.

Cao Cao is uncomfortable there, but Zhang Yu is advancing and stabilizing.

As the food and grass were transported to the front line, Zhang Yu's cabinet was also operating efficiently.

The cabinet is a whole, and there are divisions of labor.

"In this battle, we will attack across the board. Feng Xiao and Zhicai will also go out to lead the battle, and the rest will stay in the cabinet to ensure logistics."

"Our goal is to win the whole of Jizhou. This is the goal of the first stage, and it is also a goal that must be completed. After that, we will take some places on camera when we have the opportunity." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu gave the goal, and several people started to make plans.

"My lord, this subordinate proposes to send General Gao Shun out of Xuzhou, threaten Cao Cao, Xuchang and other places, and detain him with at least 200,000 soldiers and horses," Guo Jia said.

Xi Zhicai said: "Guo Si proclaims himself emperor and is ambitious. We can cooperate with him and let him attack Cao Cao's rear, or Wancheng and other areas."

But Jushou said: "We should gather heavy troops on the western front and focus on encircling and annihilating one or two of their regiments, so that the subsequent battles will be easier to fight."

Tian Feng said: "My lord, regarding Yecheng, my subordinates think that they should ignore it and not send troops to threaten them. If they dare to come out and fight in other places, it would be better than fighting them to death in Yecheng. In this way, we can do more Send troops to invest in other places."

What Tian Feng said made sense. There were 200,000 troops led by Cao Ren in Ye City. If they were ignored, would Cao Ren dare to leave?

Probably because they didn't dare, even if they left, it would be better to fight elsewhere, Zhang Yu and the others would be more advantageous.

"Okay, let's prepare separately and try to launch an attack within a month." Zhang Yu said.
