Chapter 573 Cutting Off the Food Road
After finishing the big order, Zhang Yu withdrew.
When Zhang Yu arrived at the bank of the Yangtze River, Sun Ce's people found him and asked him to cooperate again.
"Cooperation? Okay, go back and ask Sun Ce immediately to see if he is short of food and grass. I have a batch of food and grass to sell." Zhang Yu said.
The other party froze for a moment, but he couldn't make a decision, so he had to go back and report.
Zhang Yu parked the fleet on the Yangtze River.
Half a day later, Zhou Yu came with a small team in person, and at this time the entire Poyang Lake area was under their control.
"Gongjin, long time no see. Congratulations on conquering Poyang Lake. This Poyang Lake is a good place." Zhang Yu said.
In the two lakes area, Zeng Zhangyu vigorously developed it, and used a large number of cattle to reclaim an unknown number of acres of fertile land.
The food produced by these good fields can supply the population of a state every year.
Moreover, there are still many places in the two lake areas that have not been reclaimed.
"Master Zhang, you are really unpredictable." Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly and said.
Sun Ce went to Zhang Yu several times, but got no response.
This time Zhou Yu managed to contact Zhang Yu.
The two sat on the boat, but the boat was full of grain and grass, and they could only squeeze out a little space for tables and chairs.
"The two lakes are familiar, and the world is full. Congratulations again for controlling the two lakes area." Zhang Yu said again.
The two lakes are familiar and the world is full. There is no such saying at present, but after development, it has the potential.
Zhou Yu sat opposite Zhang Yu, and said, "If Master Zhang is willing to cooperate, you and I may have defeated Yuan Shu at this time, and a large piece of land will be at your fingertips by then."
"Let's not talk about that, sometimes I can help, but it is impossible to help you eliminate Yuan Shu." Zhang Yu directly refused to discuss with Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu really didn't understand that now that they had the upper hand, they could completely defeat Yuan Shu.
But Zhang Yu just refused to cooperate.
Although Yuan Shu was in a weak position at this time, he still had a large territory and an army of one million. Under such circumstances, it would not take a few months or even a year or two to defeat Yuan Shu.
How could Zhang Yu spend so long with them.
But Zhang Yu is happy to create a situation where the two of them will confront each other for a long time and consume each other.
"Let's discuss the food and grass. The food and grass can be enough for you for at least ten days. If you need it, I will sell it to you." Zhang Yu said.
Of course Zhou Yu would not refuse, they had to transport food and grass from Changsha, the distance was so long that it took more than half of it to get here.
Zhang Yu directly helped them transport it.
In the end, an agreement was reached, and Zhang Yu sold them directly, but the price was indeed tripled.
Three times the price, worth tens of millions, Zhou Yu still agreed.
An army of grain and grass is too important. Zhang Yu transports the grain and grass here, and the freight cost is at least twice the price, and Zhang Yu's three times the price is not too high.
Zhang Yu began to order the soldiers to unload the goods. This generation has been controlled by Sun Ce, so he is very relieved.
During unloading, Zhou Yu lobbied Zhang Yu again.
"Master Zhang, we cooperate, there are only advantages and no disadvantages."
Zhang Yu thought for a long time and said: "It's not impossible to cooperate, but I really don't value the territory very much."
Zhou Yu was very happy to see that Zhang Yu was willing to cooperate, so he asked: "If we can get what Master Zhang wants, we will be satisfied."
What can Sun Ce give him? What Zhang Yu needs, Sun Ce also needs.
Zhang Yu said: "It is not so easy for you to completely control Poyang Lake. First, you must capture Wan County. I can help you capture Wan County. After that, everything in Wan County will be mine, so you can only take it." Got an empty city."
"Could it be that there is any treasure in Wanxian County that Zhang Yu is thinking about?" Zhou Yu was very surprised.
However, Sun Ce was even willing to take out the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, so there was no other treasure that he could not give up.
Just as Zhou Yu was about to say yes, Zhang Yu stopped him again, and said, "Helping you doesn't mean I'll help you attack the city. I can lead an army of 100,000 to cut off Yuan Shu's food and force him to retreat. As for the rest, it's up to you." Do it yourself."
Zhou Yu calculated, adding the army in Wan County, Yuan Shu's maximum is about 270,000 to 80,000. Although they are all elite soldiers, Yuan Shu's elite soldiers are not the same concept as their elite soldiers, and there is a big gap.
And Zhou Yu and the others have an army of about 150,000, of which 100,000 are elite soldiers, and 50,000 are newly recruited troops.
Calculated in this way, plus Zhang Yu's 100,000 troops, the advantage is great, and Wan County is not big, so it will be no problem to capture Wan County.
"Okay, then I will agree for Bofu."
Zhou Yu has this power, and he can absolutely agree to this kind of condition.
The two parties reached an agreement, although it was only a verbal agreement, but Zhang Yu was not at all afraid of Zhang Yu's repentance.
Several hours later, the food was unloaded, and Zhang Yu left.
Two days later, Zhang Yu met Gao Shun.
"Let's go, our 100,000 troops will go directly to block Yuan Shu's grain road," Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu and the others left to block Yuan Shu's grain road, but Sun Ce really surrounded Wan County.
You must know that the military strength in Wan County is twice that of Sun Ce and the others.
In such a situation, Sun Ce dared to surround them.
But Sun Ce really surrounded them.
But Zhang Yu was simpler. He walked northwest of Wan County for two days, and then set up camp on the road.
"Haha, I drove this road. If I want to cross this road, I will save money to buy roads." Zhang Yu occupied the avenue and directly started working as a bandit.
Zhang Yu directly cut off the road, and Yuan Shu's food and grass could not be transported.
Before the war, Yuan Shu had stockpiled a large amount of food and grass in Wan County.
But Wan County is not big, how much food and grass can be stored, and now there are hundreds of thousands of troops, it can only last for more than a month at most.
"Send someone to tell Yuan Shu that I am stationing troops here and cutting off his supply road," Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu is so arrogant, he is not afraid of Yuan Shu at all.
When Yuan Shu received the news, he was shocked and angry.
"Sun Ce and Zhang Yu are too arrogant. I still have 300,000 troops, and I still have 300,000 troops in my hands." Yuan Shu cursed.
It's understandable to pinch soft persimmons, but Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses combined are more than both of them, and Yuan Shu is not soft persimmons.
Yuan Shu is stronger than both of them.
But now it is Yuan Shu who is being bullied.
In this way, Yuan Shu could not be angry and cursed loudly.
Yuan Shu's retreat was only a "strategic retreat", fearing Zhang Yu's surprise attack and food being robbed.
"You say, what should we do?" Yuan Shu asked after he got angry.
Several staff members began to come up with ideas, but Yuan Shu relied most on Yang Hong.
Yang Hong sighed and said, "My lord, Zhang Yu dispatched 300,000 troops to attack us this time, and now 100,000 have surrounded Hefei City, putting us in danger of being cut off from the rear, and now Zhang Yu has cut off our food road again. , the situation is not good." The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
