Chapter 442 Interference in Xuzhou

Xuzhou's envoy would come to Zhang Yu, which really made Zhang Yu a little strange.

But it's not surprising to think about it.

Cao Cao's soldiers besieged Xuzhou, and Tao Qian was under great pressure. The key point was that Tao Qian was not Cao Cao's opponent at all. If he wanted to keep Xuzhou, he could only seek support.

In other words, it wasn't Zhang Yu's family that Tao Qian was looking for, he asked many people for help.

It's just that Zhang Yu has always been "anxious and righteous", as long as he gives enough money, he seems to be able to help with anything.

Zhang Yu met the envoy, who was not only Tao Qian's envoy, but also a guest of the Mi family.

Tao Qian is smarter and knows how to play the Mi family's cards.

"General Zhang, Taozhou Mu asked me to take care of you, and my lord also asked me to take care of you." The messenger came in and said.

Sure enough, the envoy had a dual mission.

Zhang Yu politely invited him to take a seat, and then chatted for a while.

After a while, Zhang Yu asked everyone else to go out, leaving only the two of them in the study.

The envoys were over forty, with beards and long robes.

After the two were polite, the emissary said: "General Zhang, Taozhou Mu was originally a good intention. Who knows what will happen in the end? Then Cao Cao not only besieged my Xuzhou, but also threatened to massacre the city. Please help me, General Zhang, and let the people of Xuzhou attack me." from being slaughtered."

After listening, Zhang Yu was silent for a while, and then said: "The massacre of the city is not what I did. At most, I copied all the property of the aristocratic families in the city. What do ordinary people have?"

stunned.

The messenger was completely stunned after hearing this.

Shouldn't Zhang Yu condemn Cao Cao with righteous indignation?

how could this be.

Zhang Yu actually said that ordinary people have no money, so it would be good to rob the family.

Slaughtering the city is absolutely disappointing, and Zhang Yu didn't seem to hear that Cao Cao was going to slaughter the city, so he taught Cao Cao to just rob the family.

Only then did the emissary remember what kind of master Zhang Yu was.

Zhang Yu doesn't know how to slaughter cities, but the things he does are also small. It is common to rob a family, or even destroy a family.

I don't know how many cities Zhang Yu has looted.

"Benefits, yes, Zhang Yu really cares about profits." The emissary knew that he could not "influence" Zhang Yu with righteousness, but must use benefits to impress Zhang Yu.

After realizing it, the emissary said: "General Zhang, please help me survive this disaster in Xuzhou. Taozhou Mu must be very grateful. In addition, my lord's business has been greatly affected recently, and I also need General Zhang's help."

Soon the messenger asked Zhang Yu to bid, the price was negotiable, as long as Zhang Yu was willing to send troops to help Xuzhou.

Zhang Yu has the ability to fight across states.

Zhang Yu's army can support Xuzhou from the sea.

Historically, Cao Cao did not capture Xuzhou, but in this time and space, many variables have occurred, and Zhang Yu is not sure whether Cao Cao can capture Xuzhou.

But since Xuzhou asked for help and offered benefits, Zhang Yu felt that it could be done.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yu wants to keep Xuzhou, and at the same time protect his own interests.

Zhang Yu has a huge trade relationship with the Mi family, if Xuzhou loses too much, then Zhang Yu loses too.

"I can send troops, but the maximum is 30,000, and I try not to fight if I can. I am more in solidarity, but the cost of sending troops must not be reduced at all." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu will not let his soldiers go to charge for others, but solidarity and other situations are still possible.

The envoys from Xuzhou were obviously dissatisfied. What they wanted was Zhang Yu to send troops to help them fight, but Zhang Yu only wanted to support them.

However, Zhang Yu is willing to send 30,000 troops, which is quite a lot, which can give Cao Cao a certain amount of pressure.

Zhang Yu said again: "Ten million, as long as it is ten million, I can openly threaten Cao Cao. If Cao Cao dares to slaughter the city, I will send troops to attack him."

Yes, it was such a statement that Zhang Yu wanted 10 million.

In addition, the specific issue of sending troops, the price has to be discussed separately.

The messenger thought it was okay.

Regardless of whether this statement has any effect, at least it can offset Cao Cao's threat to massacre the city.

It can greatly restore morale, and at the same time make the people of Xuzhou less panic.

So the emissary felt that the deal was still possible.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yu's threats are useful, unlike others, they are just talking.

Cao Cao must pay attention to Zhang Yu's words.

No one knows if Zhang Yu will really do this, what if?

Therefore, Cao Cao must pay attention to it no matter what.

Then the two sides began to discuss the specific dispatch of troops.

It is not a small price for Zhang Yu to send troops to help Xuzhou.

Zhang Yu first offered a price of 50 million for 30,000 troops.

This is just a military fee.

When they arrived in Xuzhou, Xuzhou was responsible for all the food and grass.

In addition, if you help fight the war, the pension will be paid according to Zhang Yu's standard.

And Zhang Yu has the right to recruit troops on the spot in Xuzhou.

There are still many specific agreements, and the two sides talked for more than an hour before they reached a conclusion.

When the specific agreement was signed, Guo Jia and others also came over.

"My lord, are you really going to send troops to Xuzhou?"

Seeing such a detailed agreement, Guo Jia knew that Zhang Yu was really going to fight in Xuzhou.

Zhang Yu nodded and said: "To collect money, of course it is necessary to eliminate disasters, and it can also spread our reputation. There may be more business in the future."

Guo Jia smiled and shook his head, knowing that Zhang Yu was joking.

After a while, Zhang Yu's face became serious and he said: "Most of our veterans died in battle. Today's 200,000 soldiers are almost all recruits. They must be tempered on the battlefield. Xuzhou is a good battlefield."

Training troops and making money are Zhang Yu's real goals.

"Feng Xiao, you have to follow this time, mainly to plant some intelligence seeds in Xuzhou, which will definitely be of great use in the future." Zhang Yu said.

"No." Guo Jia responded, "Master, who are you taking this time?"

"Take Gao Shun. It's really inconvenient for the cavalry to fight across the sea. Moreover, Gao Shun's soldiers and horses have been trained for so long, so they should be well tempered."

Zhang Yu did not bring cavalry this time, but infantry.

Infantry is relatively easy to replenish on the battlefield.

The most important thing is that the opponent is Cao Cao. If the loss of the cavalry is too great, Zhang Yu will feel distressed.

After signing the agreement, Zhang Yu and the others quickly started to act.

Gao Shun's soldiers and horses began to transfer to Da County, where they were going to board the ship.

At the same time, Zhang Yu also asked Xuzhou to prepare everything.

The statement Zhang Yu will send out immediately, but Xuzhou must prepare the money before they arrive in Xuzhou, and pay the money after the fleet arrives.

Zhang Yu issued a statement after signing the agreement.

It is stated that the war cannot deliberately affect the people, let alone massacre the city. If Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are found massacring the city, Zhang Yu will send troops to attack Cao Cao.

As soon as this statement came out, many people believed that Cao Cao would not dare to slaughter the city.

Once the city is slaughtered, Zhang Yu will have an excuse to interfere, which will be very unfavorable to Cao Cao.

A few days later, through the fast horse, this statement spread throughout the northern land.

When Cao Cao received the news, Cao Cao, who was already in a state of anger, became even more furious.
