Chapter 534 Buying Equipment

Zhang Yu and the others set up a large camp on the border and settled there temporarily.

Several generals made an inventory, and then held a meeting in Zhang Yu's big tent.

"Everyone, through our hard work, we have won Youbeiping County and completely controlled Youbeiping County in a short period of time. However, our sacrifice is also huge. From Changli County to Youbeiping County, we have killed more than 20 people in battle. Thousands of troops." Zhang Yu said.

The harvest is gratifying, two counties, millions of people, the place is huge.

At the same time, the casualties were also very large. Zhang Yu could predict that the pension of more than 200,000 casualties alone could squander the money of the entire Liaodong.

After Zhang Yu finished speaking, everyone began to report.

"My lord, I still have more than 13,000 soldiers to fight." Zhang Liao said first.

Indeed, Zhang Liao suffered the greatest loss as he blocked Yan Liang and Wen Chou's frontal attacks.

Zhang Yu nodded silently.

Then Dian Wei reported that his casualties were not great, but more than 10,000 people died in battle.

Tai Shici's loss was relatively small, only a few thousand people.

And Huang Zhong also lost thousands of people. Although Huang Zhong lost a small number of people, it was not easy to replenish the heavy cavalry.

In addition, Zhao Yun's loss was not small. Yuan Jun's reinforcements who had ambushed before were ambushed by Ju Yi during the pursuit with Zhang Yu and the others. The loss was not small, and more than 20,000 people were killed in battle.

Including the previous losses, a total of more than 100,000 people were lost in this battle.

However, Yuan Jun's loss definitely exceeded 300,000 yuan.

"Replenishment troops from each army will be sent over soon. We are recruiting troops in all counties, but the training time for this batch of recruits is short. After everyone accepts them, the combat power of the army will definitely drop sharply. High-intensity training must be carried out. Restore your combat power," Zhang Yu said.

Several generals said that there was no problem.

Combat power has declined, so it must be raised as soon as possible to maintain combat power.

On the other side, Yuan Shao was also frowning.

Half of Qingzhou was occupied by Cao Cao.

Here Yuan Shao has stabilized the situation. The loss of Youbeiping County is not a big loss to him, but the loss of 300,000 troops is a very big loss to him.

Now, with support from other places, Yuan Shao has another 300,000 troops in his hands, but he dare not launch an attack and fight back.

Because it is facing two fronts.

At the same time, with an army of 300,000, Yuan Shao had no confidence.

"My lord, Qingzhou is important. In this barren land on the edge of Youzhou, there is no need to worry about losing one or two counties." Guo Tu persuaded.

Two counties were lost, and hundreds of thousands of troops were invested in the front and back. I don't know how much was spent during the period. The hundreds of thousands of food and grass were gone, and hundreds of thousands of equipment were lost.

"Now Qingzhou must be taken back. Qingzhou has not many soldiers and horses, and some of them must be transferred back from Youzhou, but Zhang Yu is right under our noses." Yuan Shao said.

Everyone fell silent, but Yan Liang came out and said: "My lord, although our loss is huge, Zhang Yu's loss is also not small. We will definitely not be able to start a big war in a short period of time. Even if we can start it, if we stick to it, he may not be able to take it." Cheap."

What Yan Liang said was the truth, Zhang Yu would never attack until his combat strength was restored.

But Zhang Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops are here, how can he ignore it.

Shen Pei came out and said, "My lord, why don't you make peace with Zhang Yu temporarily, and then deal with Cao Cao first, and fight Zhang Yu later."

Yuan Shao nodded again, as if this method is also possible, but Yuan Shao quickly realized that this Zhang Yu is a vampire, he took the initiative to make peace, and he would not be severely tricked by Zhang Yu once.

Yuan Shao said: "Zhang Yu is a wolf that can't get enough to feed, and he will never let go of this great opportunity this time."

Everyone is at a loss for words, this Zhang Yu is indeed such a character.

After a while, Xu You came out and said, "My lord, this subordinate has a way."

Everyone looked at Xu You, which made Xu You very proud. Everyone had no choice, but he had a way.

"Quickly, what is the solution?" Yuan Shao asked anxiously.

Seeing Yuan Shao's anxious look, Xu You couldn't say how proud he was. ,

Xu You tugged at his clothes before worshiping with both hands: "At the beginning, now we have suffered a lot, and facing the pressure of Cao Cao, it is imperative for us to expand our army, and expanding our army requires a lot of weapons and equipment. Why do we have a million troops? ? It’s not that the weapons and equipment can’t keep up.”

"Now we are under the rule of more than 30 million people. It is easy to recruit 3 million troops, but the production of weapons and equipment cannot keep up."

Having said that, Xu You glanced at everyone, wanting to see their adoring eyes.

After Xu You's analysis, some people who didn't understand before also understood, but most of Yuan Shao and other staff knew this truth.

Xu You continued: "We can buy equipment from Zhang Yu. His weapons and equipment are cheaper than our own. We can also take advantage of the truce between the two sides. We will do our best to deal with Cao Cao and resolve this crisis."

Yuan Shao suddenly realized that although he was very reluctant, this is indeed a good way.

In this way, Zhang Yu can be benefited without being robbed.

The most important thing is that with this method, Yuan Shao can quickly expand his troops.

Everyone also felt that the solution was feasible, but whether Zhang Yu would send troops and sell weapons to them was uncertain.

"We just fought against Zhang Yu, does he still dare to sell us weapons?" Yuan Shao said.

Xu You patted his chest and said: "At the beginning, I was confident to persuade Zhang Yu. As for whether to sell weapons or not, you don't have to worry too much. Zhang Yu values ​​profits. Give him more money at that time. How can his philistine face be used?" Count what we've fought."

Everyone believes this, because Zhang Yu's previous practice is like this, as long as the actual benefits are needed, the benefits are not the face.

But this is just their conjecture, and someone needs to implement it.

"Okay, who dares to negotiate with Zhang Yu?" Yuan Shao also agreed with this plan. At this time, nothing is more important than his rapid expansion of strength.

Xu You raised his head and said loudly: "At first, I can go, and I will definitely persuade Zhang Yu."

Yuan Shao immediately agreed to let Xu You go to Zhang Yu's camp.

The two armies are facing each other, the distance is not far, and it can be reached in half a day.

But this is not the time, Xu You didn't start until the next morning.

In the afternoon, Xu You was outside Zhang Yu's camp.

Zhang Yu was stunned when he received the news.

"Haha, I'm afraid Yuan Shao won't be able to stand it anymore." After receiving the news from Xu You, Zhang Yu didn't know Yuan Shao's specific purpose, but it was nothing more than negotiating peace.

At this time, whoever proposes a peace will suffer.

Obviously, Zhang Yu also knew about Cao Cao's invasion of Qingzhou. At this time, Yuan Shao wanted to stop the war and go back to retake Qingzhou.

But in this way, he will be ready to be slaughtered. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
