Chapter 693: Going South to Jingzhou

Jia Xu collects information and analyzes the situation.

"We must test Zhang Yu's bottom line, otherwise there is no way to negotiate." Jia Xu said after evaluation.

Jia Xu asked Zhang Xiu for the right to mobilize troops and horses, and then began to act.

Several city gates were heavily guarded again, and a large number of scouts left the city.

In addition, Jia Xu sent troops to attack tentatively.

This action is nothing more than telling Zhang Yu that they are going to attack by force.

To die with Zhang Yuyu.

However, Zhang Yu did not stop his arrangements, and remained the same.

There was no movement in Zhang Yu's barracks, and he still trained when it was time to train.

There are still 30,000 cavalry outside tossing around in the counties.

The government properties of the counties were either robbed or burned, without stopping.

There are still cavalry patrolling various places, and confiscated goods transported by aristocratic families.

Zhang Yu didn't change at all, not even strengthening his defense, which made Jia Xu very hurt. I arranged so many things, you should react at least.

But Zhang Yu just didn't respond.

In fact, it's not that Zhang Yu didn't respond, but that he had already made preparations in the early stage, and it was enough to follow the established strategy.

Through a series of tests, Jia Xu knew Zhang Yu's determination, and it was impossible to use this method to force Zhang Yu to negotiate.

Jia Xu could only report to Zhang Xiu.

"General, apart from fighting, the only way to negotiate with Zhang Yu is now." Jia Xu said.

"Negotiation, he wants 200 million yuan, where can I get so much money?" Zhang Xiu half-snarled.

Zhang Xiu really didn't have that much money, he couldn't even get half of it.

Today, the pensions of soldiers who died in battle have not yet been paid.

"General,

If we don’t give money, then let’s endure it for two more months. Zhang Yu will be out for a few months, he can’t be away for a long time, and now it’s going to be winter. If he stays any longer, Zhang Yu will have to purchase a lot of cold supplies to keep warm Materials will also be consumed enormously. "Jia Xu said.

Zhang Xiu endured it, but there was nothing he could do.

He really wanted to drive Zhang Yu out, but he couldn't afford this battle, let alone the money.

Of course Zhang Yu continued to toss, this toss exceeded Jia Xu's expectations, and Zhang Yu left after three months.

In the past three months, Zhang Yu has ruined the entire Wancheng area.

The common people do not have much impact except for the soaring prices, but this is also the most harmful to the common people.

At the same time, all the aristocratic families stopped, especially those who wanted to raise a large number of followers had to dismiss these followers.

It is completely unaffordable. Thousands of people need to eat, and the family has no income. In addition, the price of goods is soaring. How can we afford it.

Many even have to sell their land to make a living.

Many aristocratic families were affected, but only dismissed the disciples, and a few needed to sell their property.

What scares them the most is that when Zhang Yu is about to leave, the Jingzhou family will dump the Wancheng area.

Grain is sold cheaply, cloth is sold cheaply, and salt is also sold cheaply, all at the cost price, and in large quantities.

After Zhang Yu left, it was conceivable that the goods from the local family could not be sold at all, and the market would be saturated for a period of time.

I don't know how many families will suffer this time.

But Zhang Yu doesn't care so much.

At that time, the bankrupt family will naturally be filled by the family in Jingzhou or other places.

And Zhang Xiu didn't dare to offend these aristocratic families.

Zhang Yu left, Zhang Xiu didn't dare to provoke him again.

"It's a big loss. This Wancheng is really poor. After nearly four months of scrapping, it was only 110 million in the end." Zhang Yu complained very much on the way.

Moreover, it was already winter, and Zhang Yu had to purchase a lot of cotton-padded clothes, quilts and other things, which cost him more than 20 million yuan.

Zhang Yu felt that he was at a big loss, but he couldn't afford it, so he couldn't keep spending it with Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Yu did not only do these things in the past three months, but also ambushed a large number of spies around Wancheng.

Before that, the intelligence personnel in Wancheng were almost lost, so Zhang Yu could only train a new batch.

Several major events have occurred in the past three months.

The biggest is of course the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

The two fought at the junction of Yanzhou and Jizhou for more than two months. In the end, Cao Cao suffered heavy losses and had to lose many cities.

Yuan Shao also lost a lot, but he also occupied a large number of cities.

In the end, the two sides stopped attacking each other because of Lu Bu's actions.

After Lu Bu returned, he eliminated dissidents, recruited troops, and stabilized his position.

Lu Bu is quite aggressive. After he obtained a lot of resources, he expanded his troops and wanted to attack other places.

He does not attack Yanzhou and Jizhou, but has a soft spot for Qingzhou.

Chen Gong understood that the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao cost a lot to both sides, and this is the best time for him to seize Qingzhou.

The other princes did not move much.

Yuan Shu licked his wounds at home, unable to do anything.

On the other hand, Sun Ce actively expanded his strength. He won the Poyang Lake area. The land here is very fertile and there are many farmlands. It is simply a big granary.

Such a large granary gave Sun Ce confidence and his strength increased, allowing him to expand more than 100,000 troops.

Yuan Shu was also stimulated, because Sun Ce expanded his army, and Yuan Shu was the most dangerous.

However, Yuan Shu didn't have much power to expand at this time.

But Zhang Yu didn't move in either direction.

Youzhou has been almost digested by Zhang Yu. Today's Youzhou is very powerful.

But Zhang Yu didn't want Youzhou to do anything for the time being.

Let's build the whole Youzhou into one first, and there is no rush to expand.

On the Jiangdong side, Zhang Yu's newly occupied territory has not yet been digested, and in addition to his absence, the focus is on development.

But Li Jue in Luoyang made a big move.

Recruiting troops to expand strength is a basic operation.

This person has followed Dong Zhuo for a long time, and like Dong Zhuo, he has a violent temperament.

He swept up all the cities around Luoyang, not only looting the wealth of the aristocratic families, but also the wealth of the common people.

In addition, Li Jue also forcibly recruited a large number of strong men, expanding his force to 200,000.

With 200,000 soldiers and horses, he also has the confidence.

Guo Si, who was in Chang'an, regretted it unceasingly, and knew that he had left Chang'an.

However, he dominates Chang'an, and without Li Jue's restraint, he can still develop.

Ma Teng and others from Xiliang also continued to toss.

At this time, it was Liu Biao who was very distressed.

Why is Liu Biao troubled?

Because Zhang Yu arrived in Jingzhou when he went south, many things will happen every time Zhang Yu goes to Jingzhou, and it is probably the same this time.

Liu Biao hated Zhang Yu the most, but Zhang Yu had 100,000 soldiers in his hands.

One hundred thousand, Liu Biao is not an opponent, mainly because of Cai Mao, the traitor.

With Cai Mao around, Liu Biao would never have the power to monopolize Jingzhou.

Now Cai Mao not only controls all the naval forces, but also controls an army of about 100,000, which is too big to lose.

"Jingzhou, here I come again." Marching for several days, Zhang Yu arrived in Jingzhou whether Liu Biao wanted it or not.

Did Liu Biao turn a blind eye, or did he want to make trouble?

Regardless of whether Liu Biao does something or not, Zhang Yu is definitely going to do something. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
