Chapter 505 Tao Qian Is Dead
Poyang Lake is also quite important to Zhang Yu, as it can provide a lot of food.
There are hundreds of thousands of people farming around Poyang Lake, and the surrounding land is fertile and fertile.
Unlike Dongting Lake, Dongting Lake is too far away, and it is very troublesome for Zhang Yu to control it, but Poyang Lake is different, it is all in Jiangdong, and the distance is not very far.
In addition, Zhang Yu controls the Yangtze River and can support around Poyang Lake at any time.
Therefore, for Zhang Yu, it doesn't matter whether he wants to sell Poyang Lake or not.
It's okay to sell it for a lot of money and let the territory develop rapidly.
It is also possible to keep and supply food for a long time.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yu said: "This matter can be discussed, but please show your sincerity, Yuan Shu. If there is no sincerity, then there is no need to talk about it. A waste of time."
Yang Hong was not surprised by Zhang Yu's reaction. After thinking for a while, he said, "Trading Poyang Lake is beneficial to both parties. If I mainly occupy it by force, it's not necessarily impossible. I just respect Mr. Zhang, so I just traded with Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Yu sneered and said, "I don't know how many times the Yuan family has threatened me so far, so why bother to say such useless things, you just have to fight."
Yang Hong sighed secretly and said, "Lord Zhang, my lord is willing to pay 30 million in exchange for this Jiangdong Poyang Lake. What do you think?"
Zhang Yu waved his hands in a gesture of chasing people away and said, "Thirty million yuan is not enough to fit between the teeth. Just let him measure the land slowly. According to the current price of good land, it is more than thirty million yuan."
Of course Yang Hong knew the value of Poyang Lake, but Yuan Shu was unwilling to go out, and he wanted to lay a solid foundation but was not yet stable.
One must know that Yuan Shu was defeated all the way, and only arrived in this Jiangdong area. He was originally still in Nanyang.
Yang Hong has already offered a price of 30 million yuan. He knows that Yuan Shu can't pay more, and it's useless to say more.
After Yang Hong left, Zhang Yu said to himself, "It's troublesome for Yuan Shu to like Poyang Lake."
Being targeted by Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu will definitely find a way to occupy it, and a fight will inevitably occur at that time.
Zhang Yu has never been afraid of fighting, and now the newly occupied places have been digested,
Zhang Yu also wants to open up to the outside world.
But if the two sides fight for consumption, Zhang Yu decides it won't be worthwhile.
"If you don't want the navy to be exposed too early, just put the navy in Poyang Lake and see if Yuan Shu can sleep."
Everyone would be afraid to put a troop in their own hinterland and could attack their territory at any time, but is Yuan Shu worth it for Zhang Yu?
Zhang Yu hadn't made a choice yet, but Yuan Shu sent someone to negotiate to remind him.
If you want to control the entire Yangtze River, the two lakes are actually very important and can be used as bases.
However, Zhang Yu has not yet planned to fight a large-scale civil war. He is developing with all his strength in order to lay a solid foundation so that he can more easily complete the task of unification in the future.
Yang Hong walked out, he also understood that neither Zhang Yu nor Yuan Shu would compromise.
If you don't compromise, you can only fight.
Zhang Yu got the front line ready first, so he couldn't be cowardly when it was time to fight.
Put aside Yuan Shu's matter first, it is not the most important thing at present.
The most important thing at present is to develop and deal with the problems in the north.
Yu Fuluo has become bigger by accident, far exceeding Zhang Yu's expectation.
Originally, Zhang Yu thought that it would take two years for the Northern and Southern Huns to decide the outcome, but now that the Northern Huns are being suppressed and beaten, there are signs of fleeing towards Europe.
Once the northern Huns flee and Yu Fuluo grows bigger, he will attack China at that time.
Zhang Yu didn't want this to happen.
They want to support the Northern Huns, but they are separated by a force in Yuvro, so they cannot support them.
Zhang Yu was distressed, because Yu Fuluo had issued an ultimatum to Zhang Yu, asking Zhang Yu to provide him with supplies cheaply.
Now it is December, and Yu Fuluo is unable to start a war, but he thinks he is full-fledged, and he is already dissatisfied with Zhang Yu's control over him, and threatens Zhang Yu to provide him with supplies.
"There are 200,000 soldiers and horses with Shenyang City, so self-protection is naturally no problem, but the people in my Youzhou may be slaughtered." Zhang Yu looked at the information and said helplessly.
This is the information sent by the North, and Zhang Yu is asked to make a decision.
Of course Zhang Yu would not continue to support Yu Fuluo, otherwise Yu Fuluo would only become stronger, and if he continued to become stronger, he might expand to the point where he would swallow up the entire big man.
"Xianbei's Kirby is also fighting for unification. If you support him, will he be the next Yufulo?"
Zhang Yu also learned that Kirby is also engaged in a unification battle, wanting to unify Xianbei.
It is true that Kirby was able to unify Xianbei in history.
"Once the grassland nation expands, it will be too troublesome to create another Yuvro."
Zhang Yu did not expect the grassland population to increase so fast.
Otherwise, as long as Zhang Yu cut off Yu Fuluo's support half a year earlier, Yu Fuluo would not be able to grow up at this time, thus threatening Zhang Yu.
"Oh, don't worry about it, let's take it step by step."
Zhang Yu put down the information and wrote the order on paper.
He asked Guo Jia to defend with all his strength, not to fight, and to train his soldiers and horses well, and to raid the Huns when necessary.
Not long after Zhang Yu finished writing the order, an urgent message was sent to Zhang Yu.
"Tao Qian died." After opening the information, Zhang Yu saw the news of Tao Qian's death.
Historically, Tao Qian also died around this time.
When he died, Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was still on his way back to Xuzhou at this time.
Originally, Liu Bei didn't plan to leave so early. He wanted to meet Lu Zhi and prove that he was Lu Zhi's student.
But Lu Zhi didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time. He had been discussing academics with several big bosses, and Zhang Yu was obstructing him, so he couldn't see Lu Zhi.
Originally, he wanted to stay, but Xuzhou secretly sent him information, telling Tao Qian that he was dying, and told him to go back quickly.
As a last resort, Liu Bei continued to rush back to Xuzhou on the charge of speculation.
But before he could rush back, Tao Qian had already died.
"History still hasn't been changed. Tao Qian died, and Xuzhou was given over to Liu Bei. But how long will Liu Bei last?"
Historically, Liu Bei seized Xuzhou not long after he got it, and finally continued to flee.
Liu Bei went back full of sadness, but failed to get rid of his "crime", and his reputation plummeted, which was very detrimental to him.
But at this time he can't care about anything, he has to go back to fight for Xuzhou.
Although Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to him before his death, some rich families in Xuzhou may not be convinced.
Fortunately, he made preparations before leaving. He did not bring Zhang Fei and Guan Yu out. The two of them controlled half of the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, and they could still control the situation at this time.
After Mi Zhu received the news, it would not be long before Zhang Yu, Tao Qian kept it from him and did not give Mi Zhu any news.
When Mi Zhu found Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu said to him: "Xuzhou is too dangerous for you, you can't go back, you can quickly send someone to arrange it, and I will send someone to meet you. As long as you are not in Xuzhou, Liu Bei will be afraid. It won’t do anything to the Mi family.” The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
