Chapter Four Hundred and Three

Tao Qian was watching, but Zhang Yu started to act.

He moved very quickly, first he took over the family, and then prepared to attack the people.

Naturally, attacking the people is not to rob them of their wealth, but to take them all away.

Zhang Yu besieged and did not attack. Zhu Qian thought Zhang Yu was afraid and was quite proud.

Zhang Yu was waiting, waiting for Tao Qian's reply.

Before asking him to spend money to buy peace, Mi Zhu also went back to return.

It's just that Zhang Yu is short of Huaiyin City, and he is waiting for the two sides to negotiate the price, but Tao Qian has not heard anything for a long time.

But Zhang Yu was not in a hurry, he just didn't fight around.

The two sides came to a stalemate, but Zhang Yu didn't really do nothing.

He first brought back the wealth he collected, and then occupied several cities along the Yangtze River, intending to occupy them permanently.

For this reason, Zhang Yu transferred 20,000 city guards from Kuaiji County and Wu County to defend the city, and at the same time strengthen the city and hoard supplies.

He intends to occupy it for a long time, and also built a temporary pontoon bridge on the Yangtze River.

After besieging Huaiyin City, Zhang Yu remained silent. For five days in a row, there was no movement from either side.

Five days later, Mi Zhu arrived.

"Brother Zhang, my lord is willing to pay 10 million, the two sides will reconcile, and we will stop fighting here, what do you think?" Mi Zhu said to Zhang Yu.

"Zizhong, 10 million, of course, but 10 million, I only promise not to attack other places in Xuzhou, brother Zizhong, don't bargain." Zhang Yu said to Mi Zhu.

Zhang Yu suddenly felt strange, what was going on.

Tao Qian did not act for a long time, and now Mi Zhu was sent here, and he had to negotiate the price when he came.

"Brother Zhang, you don't know that my lord is also poor, and it's hard to make up ten million. My lord is benevolent, how can he disregard the people of Guangling, and come here now, and he really can't make up much money." Mi Zhu earnestly said Said.

This seems to make sense, but Zhang Yu doesn't believe it at all, other places are poor, and Xuzhou can't be poor either.

Besides, Xuzhou has Mi Zhu, even Tao Qian can borrow him.

Zhang Yu felt that this matter was tricky, but he didn't know what went wrong.

So Zhang Yu said: "Okay, since Brother Zizhong has spoken, I have to save face no matter what."

After Zhang Yu finished speaking, Mi Zhu's face froze slightly. Although he quickly realized it, Zhang Yu noticed it.

These Zhang Yu felt even more strange, knowing that Tao Qian must have some purpose, how could Zhang Yu fulfill his wish.

Stabilizing Mi Zhu, Zhang Yu sent an intelligence agency to investigate.

Two days later, Zhang Yu received the news.

"This Tao Qian actually wants to use me to kill Zhu Qian." Zhang Yu sneered after receiving the information.

When Dian Wei found out, he said angrily, "How dare you play tricks, my lord, let's go to Xiapi and capture Tao Qian alive."

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Tao Qian sent Mi Zhu to bargain to anger us, and then let us attack Huaiyin City, then we will attack Huaiyin City tomorrow as they wish."

Dian Wei asked puzzledly: "My lord, since you know Tao Qian's plan, why do you still follow his wish?"

Zhang Yu said with a sneer: "Don't worry, if you are told to attack you, you will attack, and attack fiercely for two days, but don't let me break the city, pay attention to casualties."

Dian Wei was puzzled again, so he didn't bother to ask any more questions, and just listened to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu attacked Huaiyin City just to stabilize Tao Qian.

Tao Qian wanted to use him, so he had to suffer heavy losses, so that he couldn't bear the loss, and finally came to sue for peace obediently.

The next day, Zhang Yu really started to storm Huaiyin City.

Mi Zhu appeared again.

"Oh, brother Zhang, how can you be so impulsive? Don't be like this. I'll go back and discuss with my master, and we will definitely get a result." Mi Zhu knew that after Zhang Yu attacked Huaiyin, he was very nervous, so he hurried to discuss with Zhang Yu .

Zhang Yu dismissed Mi Zhu with a cold face.

On the way back, Mi Zhu sighed, "Zhang Yu, although you are shrewd, this time you really fell into the trap."

Mi Zhu thought that Zhang Yu had been tricked, so he was very relaxed when he went back.

There is no urgency before.

After Mi Zhu left, Zhang Yu also began to deal with military affairs.

He has ordered the rear to evacuate the county towns.

This evacuation is not only property, but also people.

There used to be eight counties in Guangling County. Later, the population increased several times, and there were fifteen counties. After Zhang Yu stabilized Tao Qian, he began to rob people.

According to Zhang Yu's estimate, a county has at least 100,000 people, which is more than 1.5 million people.

To see if Tao Qian can still sit still by relocating a large number of these people.

Mi Zhu went back and reported to Tao Qian, Tao Qian was also in a very good mood.

"Zizhong, it's thanks to you for taking a trip this time. Zhang Yu is just a reckless man, and he fell for a small trick." Tao Qian said with a smile.

This time Tao Qian deliberately asked Mi Zhu to negotiate the price, just to anger Zhang Yu and let him attack Huaiyin.

"My lord, if you offend Zhang Yu, even if you get a temporary advantage, Zhang Yu may be in big trouble later on," Mi Zhu said.

Tao Qian shook his head and said: "I have hundreds of thousands of troops in Xuzhou, and how many soldiers Zhang Yu has. After this battle, I will deploy 100,000 troops, and Zhang Yu will not be able to do anything to us."

Tao Qian has already planned to use Zhang Yu to get rid of Zhu Qian, and then rule Xuzhou. When the time comes, the heavy troops will be stationed in Guangling, and Zhang Yu can't help him.

As everyone knows, Zhang Yu has already found out his plan.

Except for the three counties along the Yellow River, which are stepping up fortifications and digging trenches outside the cities, several other counties are moving their population.

Zhang Yu sent many city guards to help, and mobilized a large number of carts to evacuate a county and surrounding villages and towns.

A large number of people were moved to the south, Zhang Yu directly took coercive measures, and the people had no way to resist, so they could only follow.

Dian Wei attacked them fiercely, losing more than 6,000 horsemen.

Then feint.

Zhu Qian in the city laughed and said: "It is said that Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses are powerful and invincible, so it is just a rumor."

Zhu Qian began to despise Zhang Yu and the others. He didn't realize that, as the defenders of the city, they lost more than 12,000 in two days, which was twice the loss of Zhang Yu and the others.

Zhu Qian's confidence swelled and he despised Zhang Yu.

But Zhang Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him, he, Zhu Qian, was just a chess piece for several parties.

Tao Qian wanted to get rid of him, but Yuan Shao gave up on him, and Zhang Yu just used him as a bait.

What right does Zhu Qian have to be arrogant?

The two sides came to a stalemate under the city of Huaiyin. For several days, Tao Qian did not find any problems.

For five consecutive days, Zhang Yu and the others made little progress in Huaiyin City.

The news was sent back to Tao Qianna.

"Zizhong, is this Zhang Yu not worthy of the name, and was blocked by Huaiyin and Zhu Qian?" Tao Qian asked suspiciously.

Mi Zhu didn't believe it. To be able to beat Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao to the point of losing his temper, and to beat Zhu Wen's coalition forces to collapse is definitely not a good thing. There must be something wrong with it.

"My lord, there is something strange, why don't you send someone to investigate it clearly," Mi Zhu said.
