Chapter 410: Let's Talk About Business
Zhang Yu didn't find it strange that Sun Ce asked for peace, but it was just a question of how the two sides should compromise in the end.
Zhang Yu continued to prepare for the battle. Anyway, he was well-prepared, and the other side created public opinion.
Afraid of Zhang Yu's retaliation, some small princes obediently sent them to their homes to be slaughtered, and paid for peace.
Of course, none of those big princes compromised.
None of Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Yu and others would pay Zhang Yu, let alone Dong Zhuo.
With mixed feelings, Zhou Yu arrived in Danyang County a few days later.
They walked the waterway and saw that the Yangtze River was extremely busy. In addition to normal business exchanges, they also saw the army busy on the wharf.
Busy is transporting supplies, as well as training soldiers and horses.
Zhang Yu did not hide his training of soldiers and horses. He actually trained on the banks of the Yangtze River, and all the merchant ships and personnel passing by could see them.
Zhou Yu's face was gloomy, as if this was giving them a blow.
Zhang Yu is indeed giving them power, but it's not just them, Zhang Yu is giving power to all enemies.
What's the use of disobedience, the army must be able to beat it.
Both Zhou Yu and Sun Quan looked unhappy, thinking it was a sign that Zhang Yushi opened his mouth.
They saw Zhang Yu's strength.
Perhaps in terms of strength, Zhang Yu is not the strongest, there are many stronger than Zhang Yu.
But compared to potential, this Jiangdong area seems to have infinite magic power.
Along the way, they saw many different scenes.
Jiangdong is no longer the Jiangdong they used to know. Zhang Yu has been cultivating here for several years and has changed too much.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, Zhou Yu and his group lived in a county town by the Yangtze River.
Inside Sun Quan's room, Zhou Yu looked at the door, and after making sure no one was eavesdropping, asked the soldiers to watch outside, and then closed the door.
In the room, Sun Quan and Cheng Pu were both there.
"Second son, Zhang Yu is a man who dares to do anything, so you must be careful when negotiating with him," Zhou Yu said.
At this time Sun Quan was still young, he smiled helplessly and said: "Gongjin doesn't need to worry about it, my brother told me before leaving, everything is up to Gongjin."
Zhou Yu nodded silently and said: "The trip to Jiangdong, let us know that we don't have much bargaining chips, or even none, and are completely passive. I'm afraid we will let Zhang Yu let him kill us this time."
Cheng Pu said: "Why did Zhang Yu develop so fast in the past few years? When we passed by, the Yangtze River was busy, and there were countless merchant ships. Could it be that Jiangdong is really so powerful?"
Zhou Yu said: "Zhang Yu is too strange. He doesn't rely on his family, so he doesn't have so much consideration, and he can break the rules. More importantly, Zhang Yu doesn't care about his status at all. He vigorously advocates business and develops it to an unprecedented level. .”
Zhou Yu was silent for a while and then said: "This is what is scary about him. No matter how much he loses in this battle, with huge financial support, he can pull up a strong army in a short time. Besides, Zhang Yu didn't lose much in this battle. .”
Many of Zhou Yu's concepts have been subverted. From ancient times to the present, business has only been valued for a short period of time, and most of the time has been suppressed.
Business cannot be the foundation, but agriculture is the foundation.
However, agriculture is actually controlled by the aristocratic family, that is to say, the aristocratic family is the foundation.
The land and agricultural tools are in the hands of the family, and the family also controls agriculture and the fundamentals.
But Zhang Yu is not.
Zhang Yu broke the rules, agriculture can develop explosively, and business is also extremely prosperous.
Zhou Yu didn't know how much money Zhang Yu had, but it can be seen from the busyness of the Yangtze River that even if Zhang Yu raised 200,000 soldiers and horses, he could afford it.
In fact, what Zhou Yu didn't know was that Zhang Yu didn't have much money in his hands.
It is useless to keep money at home. To manage power, you must invest money in it and develop it.
Instead, Zhang Yu was short of money everywhere.
Huge sums of money are needed in education, huge sums of money are needed in the navigation industry, and huge sums of money are needed to resettle the people and develop agriculture.
Huge sums of money are needed everywhere, but Zhang Yu spends more and earns more.
Although Zhou Yu and others did not understand this,
But I also know that Zhang Yu is terrible, and they can't deal with it right now.
Several people are not simple people, they are all knowledgeable people, so they know that the gap is not ordinary.
On the first day, Zhang Yu didn't see them, because he deliberately ignored them, because he really didn't have time.
After eating the entire Danyang County, Zhang Yu has too many things to deal with.
He wants to re-plan this vast land from the perspective of future generations.
After chilling Zhou Yu and the others for two days, Zhang Yu went to see them.
The place to meet is very simple, it is in a courtyard inside the county government.
"Excuse me, I'm really busy," Zhang Yu said.
After greeting each other, there was another courteous ceremony.
In the end Zhou Yu said: "General Zhang, we have a lot of misunderstandings, and we are deeply sorry for the troubles you have caused. We are willing to give you a certain amount of compensation. I hope that the two sides can shake hands and make peace, and stop the war."
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "Where did you go? Brother Sun and I are old friends. It was just a misunderstanding before. Why should you care about it? It's just a small misunderstanding. There is no compensation."
Small misunderstanding?
Little misunderstanding, you want to send troops to attack Changsha, want to destroy Changsha, and want Zhou Yu and Sun Quan to come to sue for peace?
Zhou Yu wanted to scold Zhang Yu, but she endured it anyway. Zhang Yu wanted to humiliate them.
"General Zhang, it seems petty to speak like this, but you are always quick to talk." Zhou Yu said with a gloomy face.
Zhang Yu didn't seem to understand Zhang Yu's meaning, and then said: "It's really a small misunderstanding, don't worry about it, it just so happens that Brother Gongjin came here, and the deal with Brother Sun was not finished before, I wonder if we can continue?"
Talk about business?
Zhou Yu was stunned, and Sun Quan and Cheng Pu were also puzzled.
Zhang Yu, what kind of routine is this? The two sides came to discuss a deal to stop the war. .
The corner of Zhou Yu's mouth twitched a few times unnaturally, what Zhang Yu meant, completely disrupted his rhythm.
"Talk about business? General Zhang, is this really a good time to talk about business?" Zhou Yu asked rhetorically.
"What can we talk about if we don't talk about business. I have suffered heavy losses in this battle, and I have no money to buy rice for the pot. Naturally, I can make some money by talking about a business."
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, Zhou Yu's face turned even darker, and he really wanted to spray blood on his face, he couldn't be so shameless.
But Zhang Yu went on to say: "At the beginning, I discussed with Brother Sun about selling Dongting Lake. If he didn't want it, I would sell it to Jingzhou. I stayed until now because of the people who have an irresistible relationship with Brother Sun."
When Zhou Yu heard this, his face changed drastically, and if he sold it to Jingzhou, then Changsha would be doomed.
Could this be Zhang Yu's purpose, finally showing his fangs.
Zhang Yu said to sell it, can they not buy it?
Zhou Yu thought of several terrible things.
He was afraid that Zhang Yu would use Dongting Lake as a bargaining chip to invite Jingzhou to send troops. With the exchange of benefits, it would not be a meaning to send troops at that time, but a large army.
