Chapter 510: The Wind Rises From Youzhou

When Cao Cao was preparing to establish the academy, Yuan Shao had been attacking, and several places in Youzhou had already fallen into Yuan Shao's hands.

If it continues, it will be bordered by Liaoxi, and Zhang Yu will inevitably face Yuan Shao directly.

Now that Gongsun Zan was beaten, only two counties were left, and the rest of the area was either controlled by Zhang Yu before, or occupied by Yuan Shao.

If Zhang Yu hadn't been supporting Gongsun Zan all the time, Gongsun Zan might not be able to hold on at this time.

"Well, the north is just worrying." After reading the information, Zhang Yu decided to go north again.

Now it happens to be January of 195, and after the beginning of spring, we have to face the grassland peoples in the north, which is not easy at all.

Zhang Yu decides to go north, but it won't happen right away.

There are so many big brothers in the family, but Zhang Yu intends to keep them.

Several bigwigs were debating, and Zhang Yu went to find them when he was free.

The first one to look for was Huang Chengyan.

"Old Huang, how about my Jiangdong Academy? Why don't you stay and teach here? I have students all over the world. If you come here often, you will be full of peaches and plums in a few years. Wherever you go, there are your students everywhere."

Zhang Yu has long coveted Huang Chengyan's knowledge of formations, which is necessary for training military talents.

Huang Chengyan kept looking at Zhang Yu with a faint smile, and asked Zhang Yu to continue talking.

"The emperor has always restricted the learning of the art of war and formation by the people. There are many books that are not available outside, but I have them here. All the books in the palace are here. There are many lonely books." Zhang Yu continued to fool around.

"Haha, Zhang Xiaoyou, you are following the old man. If the old man disagrees, will you still tie me up?" Huang Chengyan said after seeing Zhang Yu talking a lot.

Zhang Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "How can I? Am I that kind of person? Don't worry, Mr. Huang, you will definitely be treated well here, and you can ask for any conditions."

Huang Chengyan shook his head and said: "Impossible, I am a big family, as the patriarch, living in Jiangdong for a long time, do you think it is possible? But I am very interested in this place, it is not a bad idea to stay for a while, will you come in the future? It's hard to say."

Zhang Yu was overjoyed,

He was not sure about keeping Huang Chengyan.

Seeing that Huang Chengyan was going to stay for a while, Zhang Yu immediately sent someone to make arrangements.

He asked the dean of the academy, Xiang Heng, to select a group of talented students to follow Huang Chengyan, and to find some special books to study with Huang Chengyan.

Even if Huang Chengyan doesn't stay, he must leave something else.

What excited Zhang Yu was that Zheng Xuan agreed to stay and teach under the personal lobbying of Lu Zhi and Cai Yong.

Who is Zheng Xuan, the number one master of Confucian classics in the late Han Dynasty? His name does not know how many people he can attract.

As for Sima Hui and Mr. Pang De, it is impossible to stay, but some of his students will stay, and they also promise to stay for a period of time, and they will often give lectures in the future.

These few bosses, like Dinghaishenzhen, can allow Zhang Yu to attract and train more talents.

Even if there are no foreign students, there are more and more students in the country alone.

It is urgent to expand the college and even establish a higher college.

Zhang Yu decided to set up a college of higher learning in another place. Today there are only two colleges, one in the south and one in Liaodong. The colleges in Liaodong are relatively small and not well-known.

After dealing with these matters, Zhang Yu sent away some representatives of the princes one after another.

For some people, Zhang Yu would not go to see them off in person, just let Zhang Zhao go.

Like Zhou Yu and Sun Quan, Zhang Yu went there in person, and Ma Chao and others, Zhang Yu also sent them off in person.

Ma Chao came thousands of miles away, so Zhang Yu really didn't know what to say, as if he came here just to make friends with Zhang Yu.

In fact, this was also specially arranged by Ma Teng, so that Ma Chao came out to meet other talents, instead of staying in the northwest all the time, his vision was too small.

After sending off batches of people and welcoming newcomers, Cheng Yu came again this time, this time not alone, but with dozens of people.

Some are senior officials of Cao Cao, who are here for inspection, and some are family children sent by Cao Cao.

Of course, Zhang Yu warmly received the people sent by Cao Cao.

"Mr. Zhongde, we meet again." Zhang Yu said politely.

Cheng Yu also paid a visit to Zhang Yu, and then the two began to talk.

"Mr. Zhongde, if you have anything to say, just say it. With my friendship with brother Mengde, it's easy to say anything."

When Zhang Yu said this, he didn't have the posture of wanting to eat each other on the battlefield before, as if the two were really good.

Cheng Yu was also not polite, and expressed his intention to come. Apart from buying a large number of books, he also arranged for the children of the Cao family to study in the academy.

As for books, except for some books on geography that Zhang Yu did not sell, most of the others can be sold, including some precious military books, and Zhang Yu has no reservations.

For books on geography, some Zhang Yu even sent people to survey the topography and landforms, which can be used as military maps. Zhang Yu has reservations, even the students in the academy can't read all of them.

Cheng Yu didn't expect Zhang Yu to be so open. Anyone who doesn't hide books can hide them as deep as they can, and doesn't show them easily, but Zhang Yu sells them openly. If he doesn't understand, he will teach you.

After discussing with Cheng Yu, the two sides reached many agreements.

The other princes were also influenced by Zhang Yu after returning, but they didn't open academies directly like Cao Cao.

Some princes also cooperated with Zhang Yu to varying degrees.

The situation in Jiangdong was brought back by various people, and it continued to have an impact.

Many people came to Jiangdong Academy, and after those businessmen returned, many began to plan to cooperate with Jiangdong.

At the end of January 195, Zhang Yu finished most of the things and began to prepare for the north.

In the Jiangdong area, there are 200,000 soldiers and horses. There are Wen and Zhang Zhao, and Wu has Gao Shun, Ling Cao, and Zhou Cang. They can completely guard the house.

But Zhang Yu planned to take Dian Wei and others to Youzhou. The fight in the north was fierce. Yuan Shao had already controlled most of Youzhou, and the Huns might also go south. Therefore, Zhang Yu had to go to Liaodong to sit in charge.

Before Zhang Yu set off, he called several civil and military officials.

"Don't worry, my lord. This time we have recruited more than 2,000 administrative talents one after another. The localities are basically enriched. The militia system in the Jiangdong area has also been established. If necessary, we can use hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and we are not afraid of any enemies." Zhang Zhao said. Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Okay, Yuan Shu is the only threat in the Jiangdong area right now, but in a short time, we are the only ones who will trouble him, and he has no ability to trouble us."

Zhang Yu assigned many tasks, requiring Zhang Zhao to organize manpower to mine the discovered mines overseas.

After finishing the arrangement, Zhang Yu said: "In order to show my determination, I will take a few wives to Liaodong this time, and Jiangdong will be handed over to you."
