Chapter 706: Back to Jiangdong

Cai Mao was afraid that Zhang Yu would equip the navy, so he asked tentatively.

Zhang Yu immediately said that the navy was too expensive, and it didn't make any money, so it wasn't worth it at all.

"Patriarch Cai, don't talk about the navy. Even the army is enough for me. If others don't provoke me, I rarely need the army. But if others provoke me, I have benefits to earn, so I won't be polite. .” Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu's meaning is very clear, he just wants to make a fortune and live in Jiangdong in peace and stability.

Of course, Zhang Yu would not be polite if someone came to his door.

In fact, how can Zhang Yu be so kind, it's just his own strategic needs.

Cai Mao was suspicious, but he didn't believe it, but he also thought it was possible.

Zhang Yu never took the initiative to attack others before, but if others wanted to hit him, they would only end up bleeding.

It is true that Zhang Yu regards wealth as his destiny. He has a lot of money, but his army is not the largest among the few princes.

Zhang Yu can be said to be the wealthiest of all the princes, but the size of the army is small.

In fact, if you add up Jiangdong and Youzhou, Zhang Yu's army is quite large, but the distance between the two places is too far to add up like this.

Cai Mao finally chose to trust Zhang Yu.

"Okay, if Master Zhang can build a good enough warship, then I will cover it all." Cai Mao also said proudly.

It is impossible to cover everything, but Cai Mao estimates that the production of Zhang Yu is limited, and there will not be many ships built by then.

Even if Zhang Yu builds more, then he can form more naval forces and go down the Yangtze River to control the entire Yangtze River Basin. The benefits are unimaginable.

Thinking about it this way, Cai Mao didn't feel any discomfort.

Zhang Yu secretly laughed in his heart, it is better to buy than to buy, and to rent is worse than to buy. In later generations, this is an old beauty's trick to fool others.

And Zhang Yu just wanted to fool Cai Mao and ask him to pay for his shipbuilding industry.

The two of them didn't continue to discuss business matters, and it was better to talk about unimportant things under the circumstances of each other's plans.

talk about things,

Cai Mao hosted a grand banquet for Zhang Yu here.

The next day, Cai Mao helped Zhang Yu organize the fleet.

Jingzhou also has a huge fleet, but it is not so fast to call temporarily.

But Zhang Yu also has a fleet of his own, and he is on his way at this time.

It never arrived because Zhang Yu wanted to blackmail Liu Biao. If Liu Biao knew that Zhang Yu wanted to leave a long time ago, he might not have given Zhang Yu so much money.

Therefore, Zhang Yu waited until he left Xiangyang to send someone to notify the fleet. They had traveled for a few days before the fleet set off, and it is not so fast yet.

After Zhang Yu knew that Cai Mao was guarding him, he didn't have much contact with Cai Mao, and each was busy with his own affairs.

Cai Mao has just finished his work, and there are still many things to be busy.

Zhang Yu lived in Jiangxia.

In the past few days, Zhang Yu has also been active, secretly arranging many people.

These people gradually became Cai Mao's people in different places through different channels.

Zhang Yu made his own statistics, and there are more than 400 people who have been arranged recently, and many more people are on the way.

Other places are important, but a big change is taking place in Jingzhou, and this change can just be used by myself, and a large number of people will be placed in it.

A few days later, the fleet arrived, and Zhang Yu and the others could finally go back.

When we went back, the team was mighty and mighty, with a lot of boxes.

Cai Hao, who saw him off, was also jealous for a while. These are wealth, a lot of wealth.

Up to more than 500 million wealth.

Anyone would be envious of this 500 million wealth, but his master is Zhang Yu, who has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

The shipment went smoothly, and no one dared to take Zhang Yu's idea.

With the use of a huge fleet this time, the Yangtze River is extremely crowded.

Cai Mao was a little distracted looking at Zhang Yu's huge fleet, thinking a lot in his mind.

If one day Zhang Yu wants to fight for hegemony and control the entire Yangtze River, he doesn't know if he can resist.

But there is no need to think so far now, as long as he controls Jingzhou, he will have enough wealth to build a desperate navy.

Cai Mao has the confidence.

However, he didn't know that Zhang Yu had a wider vision and had already been preparing for the navy.

It took Zhang Yu and the others a day to load the ship. The main reason was that the pier was too small, and only three ships could dock at a time. Many people and things had to wait on the shore.

Finally, after the shipment was completed, Zhang Yu set off with infinite emotion.

On the boat, Zhang Yu set up tables and chairs on the deck and entertained several people on it.

It’s just that it’s very cold on the deck in winter. Fortunately, Zhang Yu has wine, otherwise, who would blow the cold wind with him, even though the surroundings are blocked by reinforced screens and the like.

"Everyone, here's a toast," Zhang Yu said.

The Xiahou brothers, Cao Ang, Yu Jin, and Dian Wei were invited by Zhang Yu, while Han Dong and Xia Dong were one in front and one behind, looking after the entire fleet.

The Xiahou brothers, Cao Ang and Yu Jin had never seen such a huge ship and a fleet of these huge ships, and they were filled with emotion.

Several people had a drink.

"Brother Xiahou, and Brother Cao, what do you think of my fleet? It can transport 100,000 troops at a time, not to mention other things, as long as it is a place along the coast, we will do business." Zhang Yu said.

Brother Xiahou and Cao Ang don't think so. I'm afraid that the place that the fleet can reach is the place you attack.

But it doesn't matter if you think about it. Although the fleet can transport 100,000 troops at a time, it can raid many places.

But a 100,000 army means huge supplies. If there is no supply along the road, it means that the army will go deep alone, so what can a 100,000 army do.

Cao Cao is far away from the sea, so there is no need to worry.

At the same time, they couldn't understand Zhang Yu, who obviously had great strength, but only wanted to do business to make money, not enterprising.

They don't know that Zhang Yu actually has the largest territory and the largest population, but they are distributed overseas, and Youzhou and Jiangdong are cut apart abruptly. In fact, the territory and population are larger than all the princes.

Several people chatted briefly about some things, and then Zhang Yu said: "Cao Cao doesn't seem to be in a hurry to redeem you back, so you can stay in Jiangdong well, and when Cao Cao wants to redeem you, what about us?" Let's talk again."

The three of them rolled their eyes at Zhang Yu at the same time, and it was Zhang Yu who opened his mouth like a lion.

At first, Cheng Yu sent someone to contact Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu's asking price was too high. Cheng Yu judged that they were not in danger, so he did not negotiate with Zhang Yu for the time being.

They didn't have that much money, because they were facing a two-front war, and supplies were in short supply, and money was not enough to spend. At this time, there was really no way to redeem the three of them.

Now Cao Cao has no ability to redeem them, although the war has just ended.

But Cao Cao suffered heavy losses and urgently needed to recover.

Now he collects money for recruiting soldiers and horses everywhere, so how can he accept Zhang Yu's blackmail.

A few people were drinking and chatting on the boat, and the time passed relatively quickly.
