Chapter 457: Here Comes Liu Bei
The next day Zhang Yu woke up and stayed with Mi Lan all the time, until Mi Lan woke up, Zhang Yu talked with her for a long time before getting up.
In Xiapi City, various forces are at work, but in the face of absolute power, everything is futile.
For the time being, no one can threaten Zhang Yu.
Two days passed, Zhang Yu kept flirting with Mi Lan in Mi Mansion.
Zhang Yu has also been paying attention to the changes in the situation these two days. He learned about the situation through Mi Zhu and the intelligence system in Xuzhou.
"There are so many factions in Xuzhou, and it's chaotic enough. Fortunately, I just want to make a fortune and leave, otherwise it's inevitable that there will be massacres." Zhang Yu said after sorting out the information.
There are so many factions in Xuzhou, the biggest reason is that it is too rich, and there are relatively few wars.
There are many huge families entrenched here.
These aristocratic families are entrenched here, and they will naturally form forces from all sides.
Outside the city, Cao Ying.
Cao Cao was very melancholy, a few days passed, Zhang Yu hugged the beautiful woman back, and was enjoying himself, but he had nothing to gain by guarding outside the city.
The most important thing is that if Cao Cao stays outside the city for one more day, then Zhang Yu will earn more money, but he himself will have to spend more.
The huge gap made Cao Cao very upset.
Unhappy is not happy, he can't do anything.
However, Cao Cao's mood has been restless this day.
Something happened faintly.
In the afternoon, it seemed to fulfill my anxiety.
In Cao Ying, riding a fast horse, hundreds of thousands rushed in.
Cao Cao was presiding over a regular meeting, and when he heard the anxious call from outside, he couldn't help but feel tense.
Cao Ren opened the big tent and went out, then took the information.
Then, Cao Ren came in with a livid face.
When Cao Ren came in, everyone looked at him.
Seeing Cao Ren's face, Cao Cao knew it was bad news, so his heart sank slightly.
"Tell me, what is the bad news?" Cao Cao said.
Cao Ren looked left and right, then sighed and said, "Old Tao Qian secretly asked Qingzhou Inspector Tian Kai for help. Tian Kai and Liu Bei attacked our food transport team and suffered a lot of losses."
The generals were shocked, they were short of food, and now that food and grass have been robbed, they are even more in short supply.
In other words, Cao Cao will be short of food because he has collected millions of yellow scarves in Yanzhou, and these people have to eat, which makes the whole Yanzhou seriously short of food and grass.
For this expedition, Cao Cao was in a hurry, and naturally he did not have enough food and grass.
After everyone was surprised, they looked at Cao Cao. Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he sighed after a while and said, "Retreat tonight."
Hearing the retreat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, everyone was also unwilling. After finally injuring Xuzhou, they could only miss it in vain.
Cao Cao ordered to start packing, but had to wait until evening to evacuate.
During the day, Cao Ying looked the same as before.
At night, most of them had been cleaned up. Cao Cao glanced at the top of the city unwillingly, and then led his troops to leave.
Zhang Yu and the others didn't know about it when they left, and the scouts didn't notice the abnormality until it was almost dawn.
After discovering the abnormality, it is natural to go back and report immediately.
Tao Qian was woken up early, but this time he was not unhappy.
But no one bothered Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu was still holding Mi Lan in the tender village.
Zhang Yu had expected that Cao Cao would withdraw his troops a long time ago, but the specific reason is not very clear, but Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou three times in total, and the first two naturally failed.
When Zhang Yu woke up, the soldiers were already waiting outside the door.
"My lord, Cao's army has retreated, and our scouts are following." The soldier reported.
"Cao Mengde doesn't stay for a few more days, he can earn half a million dollars a day, and if he stays for a few more days, he will earn millions more." Zhang Yu muttered dissatisfied.
Zhang Yu was dissatisfied that Cao Cao left so early, and Zhang Yu could earn an extra 500,000 yuan for one extra day.
But Cao Cao had already left, and Zhang Yu was dissatisfied, so there was nothing he could do.
Zhang Yu didn't bother to care about what was going on outside, he continued to stay in Mi Lan's mansion and chatted with Mi Lan, very happy.
That day, no one paid attention to Zhang Yu, not even Mi Zhu came to him. Mi Zhu was in Xuzhou, Cao Jun retreated, and he had a lot of things to deal with right away.
On the second day, Tao Qian sent someone to invite Zhang Yu to the State Shepherd's Mansion.
"This time, Tao Qian probably wants to drive me home. It's okay, I haven't been back to Kuaiji for a long time, and I miss my wives." Zhang Yu said, and he had already walked out.
Zhang Yu brought Dian Wei and the guards to the state pastoral mansion.
When Tao Qian heard that Zhang Yu was coming, he immediately came out happily to meet Zhang Yu.
"General Zhang, thanks to your great help for Xuzhou to survive the danger this time." Tao Qian said with a smile.
"Haha, you're welcome, you're welcome, business, business." Zhang Yu said with a smile.
Tao Qian's face changed slightly, but his subordinates became very obvious, with disgust on their faces.
Here are all aristocratic families and high society, but Zhang Yu is full of copper stink.
Zhang Yu didn't care at all, and couldn't chat with them.
Tao Qian welcomed Zhang Yu in very politely, and then started chatting with everyone.
Zhang Yu had nothing to do.
Tao Qian didn't want to invite Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu had 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, so it was impossible not to invite him.
So, that's how it ended up being.
Zhang Yu sat with them boredly for more than an hour, and then he said goodbye and left regardless of Tao Qian's thoughts.
"It's better to go back and be with my wife." Zhang Yu said speechlessly.
After Zhang Yu left, Tao Qian began to discuss how to drive Zhang Yu back.
Now, Zhang Yu has become his heart disease here.
Finally, let Mi Zhu ask Zhang Yu.
After Mi Zhu went back, he asked Zhang Yu about it.
Zhang Yu is very simple, just one sentence: I miss my wife at home, let Tao Qian calculate the relevant expenses and leave immediately.
Tao Qian didn't say anything after receiving the reply, but when he asked someone to calculate the cost, he felt a pain in the flesh for a while.
The cost of dispatching troops plus the cost of helping to defend the city, as well as Zhang Yu's pension, will cost tens of millions of dollars at once.
Originally, although the money was a lot, it was not that Xuzhou couldn't afford it.
It's just that Tao Qian really can't get it out now.
After the war, the consumption was too great, and there was no money for reconstruction after the war. These Zhang Yu needed so much, and he really couldn't afford the money.
But he had to give, Zhang Yu's 50,000 army was in the city, and if he didn't give money, who knew what this lunatic would do.
Tao Qian asked Mi Zhu to go back to discuss with Zhang Yu, first give 10 million, and pay back the rest slowly.
"Fart, absolutely not, who knows when Tao Qian will belch, who will pay back the money he owes, let him quickly collect the money, I'm still waiting to go back." Zhang Yu heard Tao Qian asked Debt, immediately shouted excitedly.
When Mi Zhu heard this, he almost died of fright, how dare he go back and tell Tao Qian.
The two sides couldn't reach an agreement for the time being, Zhang Yu hadn't returned yet, and Liu Bei came.
Yes, Liu Bei ran out from Luoyang, and now he ran to Xuzhou, he was really able to run.
