Chapter 586 Xianbei
Zhang Yu felt that he was ready to start preparations, and brought the entire Fusang into his sphere of influence.
However, it is not easy to fight across the sea, and if you have a treasure ship, you must first have a base.
Without a base, if the follow-up soldiers, horses, food, etc. have an accident at sea, then the problem will be big.
Zhang Yu asked Xi Zhicai to start preparations, and at the same time assigned a fleet for him.
The matter between South Korea and Fusang was settled in this way.
The most important thing for Zhang Yu to come to the north this time is to solve the problems on the grassland.
The grassland is constantly growing, not only the Huns, but also the Xianbei.
Grasslands continue to grow and become more and more dangerous.
Several of Zhang Yu's generals were placed on Youzhou's side, and he did not dare to use them at will.
Zhang Yu learned about the situation in South Korea, and did not ask South Korea to provide Zhang Yu with much tax or supplies, as long as South Korea can be self-sufficient.
Zhang Yu stayed in South Korea for three days, and then returned to Liaodong by boat. This time, he parked the treasure ship in the port of Liaodong for people to visit.
To visit, you can only watch from a distance, but it also brings great shock to people.
This is a symbol of strength.
Zhang Yu's display of this big boat can also greatly improve the pride of the people.
Sometimes you have to show off your strength, show off your strength.
Like later generations, old Americans like to show off their aircraft carrier.
After Zhang Yu arrived in Liaodong, he would not leave for a short time, so he planned to let the big ship be displayed in the port for a few days, and then sent out to perform missions.
Let people from all over the world see how strong they are and give them more confidence.
Overseas people are relatively fragile psychologically, and some people feel that this is being exiled and abandoned.
Therefore, Zhang Yu wants to tell them that they will always be a part of Huaxia and will not abandon them.
instead,
Zhang Yu attaches great importance to the overseas part.
If possible, Zhang Yu would often go out to sea by boat to have a look.
Not to mention the distance, after Zhang Yu arrived in Liaodong, he first went to Liaodong University to see, and then went to see the group of foreign students.
Then Zhang Yu took people to Shenyang City in Xuantu County.
Shenyang City is Zhang Yu's military core in Youzhou at this time.
There are many training grounds and horse farms built around it, and most of the troops are concentrated here.
Zhang Yu summoned several generals, as well as civilian officials such as Gu Yong and An Yuan.
"Okay, we have a strong army, and anyone who comes will be bloody." Zhang Yu said excitedly after listening to the report in the city lord's mansion.
The soldiers and horses of several generals are already full, no one has 50,000 soldiers and horses, even Huang Zhong's heavy cavalry is full.
Fifty thousand heavy cavalry, that is a powerful force.
Zhang Yu calculated, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Zhang Liao, this is 250,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Shenyang City.
There are also several counties with 30,000 garrison soldiers and horses each, which adds up to 500,000 soldiers and horses.
With an army of 500,000, if necessary, Zhang Yu can recruit many militiamen to supplement the main battle army.
With such strength, Zhang Yu definitely has the strength to control his own territory, and no one can get any advantage when he comes.
This is also the reason why Zhang Yu is not afraid of Yu Fuluo turning his face.
Even if Yu Fuluo's army of one million came to attack, it would be impossible to break through. At least Shenyang City and Liaodong City can be completely guaranteed to be safe.
If you lose some cities, you can get them all back.
Now that Yu Fuluo is strong, he still has to rely on Zhang Yu's trade with them, otherwise they are in danger of not having enough food.
A large population growth is a good thing, but it will be difficult if the food cannot keep up.
On the grassland, the population increases, but the cattle and sheep will not increase.
In this way, there has been a shortage of food on the grassland.
If there is a shortage of food, you have to buy it, or grab it.
Yu Fuluo often sent troops to rob, but it became more and more difficult to rob.
Those who wanted to rob Yuan Shao first robbed a lot, and later Yuan Shao strengthened his defense, and he had to pay a high price if he wanted to rob Yuan Shao.
If you want to grab Bingzhou, Bingzhou is already poor and the people are tough, so it is still not easy to grab.
The one who snatched Zhang Yu was fine, but if he didn't, he would suffer heavy losses.
More importantly, if Zhang Yu didn't grab it, the supply would be cut off directly, and he wouldn't sell it to them again.
In this way, Yu Fuluo resented Zhang Yu very much.
But there is no way, who called Zhang Yu so strong.
Now there is another force in the grassland that is growing.
Xianbei also gradually became stronger, which made Yu Fuluo uneasy.
Xianbei is also a major force in the grassland.
It's just that the Huns were unified in advance with the help of Zhang Yu, but today's Xianbei is still in a tribal state and is relatively scattered.
Recently, a leader of Xianbei called Kebi Neng rose up and unified several tribes.
It is very possible to unify the situation of Xianbei in one fell swoop, such a situation naturally arouses Yu Fuluo's attention.
It's just that most of Yufulo's forces are in the west, while Xianbei is close to the east, and the labor force and expedition cost a lot. Now Yufulo doesn't have so much food.
After the meeting, Zhang Yu had a better understanding of the situation in Youzhou, and he did not interfere with the normal operation of several counties.
In the next few days, Zhang Yu inspected the past one by one, which greatly boosted morale.
A few days after Zhang Yu inspected the army, Yu Fuluo actually sent someone to look for Zhang Yu.
This makes Zhang Yu strange.
Yu Fuluo has hatred for himself, and the two sides can say that they have hatred.
Although normal trade is still maintained, the hatred between the two sides is relatively difficult to resolve.
"This is Yu Fuluo's request to buy a large amount of grain." Zhang Yu said after reading the letter.
Yu Fuluo definitely wanted to do something, otherwise it wouldn't be the case.
The other party sent an envoy, and this letter only represents Yu Fuluo, and the specific situation should be discussed with the envoy.
All right and left, Zhang Yu agreed to meet the envoy.
Zhang Yu deliberately chose Shenyang City to let them know how powerful he is, and he is doomed to seek abuse if he wants to attack them.
Zhang Yu sent the envoy into the city, and did not summon him right away, but scheduled for two days later.
Two days is enough for him to learn a lot of news.
In fact, they knew many things about Shenyang City, what Zhang Yu wanted them to see was strength and change.
This Shenyang city has been the same for a while. The powerful Shenyang city let them know that they can't fight, and they will suffer heavy losses if they fight.
Moreover, Zhang Yu does not have only one Shenyang city. Although the other cities are not as large, they are also well-defended.
Youzhou's defense has become a system.
Sure enough, the envoy wandered around the city for two days. His strong humanities and strong defenses made their prairie people stand behind him.
Two days later, Zhang Yu met Yu Fuluo's envoy.
"My lord Zhang, this is a gift from our king, please accept it." The envoy said very politely as soon as he arrived.
Zhang Yu sat on the top and nodded, waving for the soldiers to bring the presents.
Zhang Yu sat high above, looking down at the envoys below, while Zhang Yu's civil and military officers and guards stood on both sides.
The scene is very big, reflecting the majesty of the big man.
And the messenger from the grassland was also very polite, not as arrogant as before.
This seems to go back to the time when the Han Dynasty was strong and powerful, and the states came to pay tribute to them.
Zhang Yu wanted to put on such a posture. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
