Chapter 624 Public Blackmail

Dong Zhao is very anxious, this will make Cao Cao fall into a great passive.

Especially Zhang Yu's tossing ability, he will definitely make Cao Cao have to move the capital.

Moving the capital is definitely a major event, the shift of the center of gravity, the rearrangement of the army, this is a major event.

Zhang Yu's counterattack was too ruthless, and it immediately touched Cao Cao's sore spot.

If Liu Xie did not move the capital, then Zhang Yu would not respect him as the emperor, and if others followed suit, the emperor would be useless.

If the capital was moved, the cost would be too great, and Cao Cao would have to leave his lair, and his control over the territory would drop a lot.

Originally he was here, Yuan Shao couldn't break Yanzhou no matter what, and the Cao family and Xiahou family were the only respected families in the Chenliu area, but once he left, his control over these would definitely weaken.

For Zhang Yu, the revenge just begins now, step by step.

He presided over the restoration and reconstruction work in Shenyang City, and was not damaged by the Huns because they couldn't attack at all, and the most important thing was the loss of soldiers.

In addition, places such as Youbeiping County, which were breached by Yan Liang, have been greatly affected and need to be dealt with.

"Money, money, money, and no money. The pension alone has cost tens of millions, repairing the city wall, recruiting soldiers and horses, and replenishing various supplies..."

In this calculation, the "national treasury" is exhausted.

With no money, he couldn't do anything, so Zhang Yu had to get money first.

Where can I get the money?

Get it on the enemy, the fastest way to get money.

Zhang Yu immediately asked Xi Zhicai to speed up the sale of the prisoners.

Before and after, Zhang Yu captured about 150,000 Yuan Jun, which can be used well and sold for a good price.

Moreover, Zhang Yu did a bad job, so he asked Xi Zhicai to directly issue an announcement in various places in Jizhou.

Instead of writing a letter to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao wanted to get information from the people and from public channels.

This allowed him to get the news later than ordinary people.

Ordinary people got the news,

Would he dare to redeem these people?

If he is not redeemed, the people will not turn against him.

"Extremely shameless, shameless..." Yuan Shao felt very angry that he was kidnapped by Zhang Yu.

"The captives are separated from the equipment. The total price of the captives is 30 million, and the total price of the equipment is 20 million. Zhang Yu is going to rob." Yuan Shao looked at the announcement posted by Zhang Yu and the others and said angrily.

Captives are actually worthless, in Yuan Shao's opinion, as for weapons and equipment, they are indeed worth the price.

But when Zhang Yu asked such a price, he could only ask for people first, and then for equipment, otherwise how would the common people think of him.

What made Yuan Shao unbearable was that Zhang Yu actually used this method to inform him and directly put him on the fire.

On the day when the news came out, there was a problem during the training of the 300,000 troops newly recruited by Yuan Shao.

These recruits have been greatly affected, and even his veterans have also been affected to varying degrees.

Yuan Shao had no choice but to deal with it immediately.

Now he has no money, and the landlord's family is sometimes poor.

He has just experienced such a big battle, and now he has recruited another 300,000 soldiers and horses, and he is also short of money.

But he has a way to get it out, but no one is happy to get it out to the enemy.

Yuan Shao called his men together, and said to everyone, "Zhang Yu is a rascal, a rascal."

Everyone also felt that there was something wrong with Zhang Yu's approach, and they announced it directly through public channels, which made Yuan Shao unable to deal with it.

Zhang Yu didn't follow the rules at all.

"My lord, this Zhang Yu is completely a rascal, asking for a lot of money, but it doesn't matter, we can definitely pay back the money." Xu You came out and said.

Xu You had a small calculation in mind. In the last transaction, Xu You pulled the strings from it, but he made a lot of money. Afterwards, Zhang Yu also gave him a lot of money in other ways.

Therefore, this time Xu You deliberately spoke good words for Zhang Yu, and more importantly, Xu You had the "credit" last time, and thought that he would also let himself take part in this negotiation, so that he could get more benefits at that time.

Yuan Shao ordered his staff to write to Zhang Yu immediately.

The next day, before the letter was delivered, Yuan Shao received another infuriating news.

"I, Zhang Yu, am not ashamed of Yuan Shao's help and abuse. When I was Kangjia Huns, Yuan Shao sneaked behind him, so I cut off all contact with Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao has any regrets, he can release the information through public channels, but I may not forgive him."

This is the news released by Zhang Yu through "private" channels.

The so-called non-governmental channels are through the dissemination of information.

Cut off all communication, that is, Zhang Yu even refused to let Yuan Shao come.

Want to haggle? You also have to find someone.

Through private channels, that is, Yuan Shao publicly released the news, how can this be a bargain.

Tell the people that 30 million of these soldiers is too expensive, should they be cheaper?

The people did not take up arms to drive Yuan Shao down.

When Yuan Shao heard the news, his face remained dark.

Zhang Yu is too shameless.

This put Yuan Shao in a dilemma, either to pay the ransom honestly, or not to redeem the captives.

But now, can Yuan Shao not redeem these hundreds of thousands of people?

Obviously it is to be redeemed, and it will not work if it is not redeemed.

But being blackmailed by Zhang Yu like this, Yuan Shao was very upset.

Yuan Shao summoned a group of ministers again.

"Everyone, whoever has a solution, I will reward a hundred catties of gold and silver." Yuan Shao directly offered a heavy reward.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the big prize, but after a while, their frenzied eyes went out, and they dared not look at Yuan Shao.

There is really no way, Zhang Yu doesn't even negotiate, even if he has a good tongue, it's useless.

After a while, Xu You stood up and said, "My lord, this subordinate can give it a try. I can use my personal friendship to talk to Zhang Yu, but what is the master's bottom line?"

Yuan Shao originally wanted to get angry when he saw the crowd, but Xu You stood up at this time.

Yuan Shao suddenly remembered that it was Xu You who came out last time and won some benefits for himself.

In fact, what he didn't know was that without Xu You, he wouldn't have to pay so much money.

"Let me think about it," Yuan Shao said.

Yuan Shao broke up the meeting and called Xu You, Ju Shou, Xun Yu, Tian Feng, Guo Tu and Shen Pei to his study.

The bottom line is that things like this should not be made public. If too many people know about it, it will be troublesome.

Several people went to Yuan Shao's study.

After entering, Yuan Shao asked: "If you don't redeem the soldiers, it will definitely cause public anger, but you can't let Zhang Yu rob like this. How do you say we should set a bottom line to negotiate with Zhang Yu?"

"My lord, it would be nice to give 10 million. Zhang Yu is so arrogant, so don't pay attention to it at all. At worst, we don't want it. Zhang Yu won't get a penny. As for the people, they have been delaying for a long time. , I got used to it." Guo Tu said.

Guo Tu is jealous. The last time Xu You made a deal, not only did he earn a lot of money, but he was also reused by Yuan Shao. If he succeeds this time, Xu You will become even more arrogant, so Guo Tu does not want Xu You to succeed.

What Guo Tu said is also a way, but it is not a good way.

Tian Feng said: "My lord, if Zhang Yu doesn't let go, we can use the excuse of lack of money to redeem a small part first, and the people will naturally understand the difficulty of the lord when they see it."

Tian Feng's method is much more clever. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
