Chapter 715 Suspicion

Zhang Yu's actions made the princes uneasy.

Mutual suspicion.

Yuan Shu and Sun Ce were the first to receive the news, but Sun Ce cursed after receiving the news. This Zhang Yu is so shameless, and he wants to cheat them again, and then make money for himself.

Sun Ce's first thought was not to buy it, which was obviously a trap.

But when Yuan Shu received the news, his mind became active.

"The troop strength has been greatly reduced. Almost all the recruits are recruited, and the quality is even worse. How much combat power can they have if they don't rely on equipment to support them?"

After the last battle, Yuan Shu suffered too much damage, and now he is far from recovering.

If you can buy equipment, you can at least improve your combat power.

It's just that Yuan Shu is also very worried, because he has no money at all.

With such a big loss this time, I have no money for a long time.

If he wanted to buy equipment, he would have to spend a lot of money to scrape together some.

Yuan Shu lost hundreds of thousands of troops and replenished hundreds of thousands of troops. The consumption was too great to estimate.

There are still a large number of unarmed troops in Yuan Shu's army.

Whether you can afford it or not, you have to work harder. Yuan Shu began to issue an imperial decree, asking his subordinates to start raising funds and sell officials to major families at the same time.

It's just that it's not so easy to sell an official now. In this war, Yuan Shu suffered so much loss, which exposed Yuan Shu's weakness. These shrewd families are no longer willing to spend a lot of money on Yuan Shu.

The news spread further, and soon Cao Cao, Li Jue, Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao and others all got the news.

Liu Biao naturally didn't react, he cursed Zhang Yu and didn't move.

At this time, Liu Biao's health improved a lot after self-cultivation, but he was still weak.

Liu Biao had already noticed Cai Mao's movement, but he couldn't stop it.

What Liu Biao can do is to keep Xiangyang, block Cai Mao's army outside Xiangyang City, and prevent his army from entering Xiangyang City.

But this decision made Liu Biao give up other areas, making it more convenient for Cai Mao.

The main reason is that Zhang Yu's strategy was too confusing, and he only targeted officials below the county magistrate. It was difficult for these news to reach Liu Biao. Liu Biao didn't know that Cai Mao had replaced so many officials on a large scale.

Once he knew, he would definitely stop Cai Mao, even breaking openly.

But Liu Biao hasn't found it yet, or only found a small part.

Li Jue and Zhang Xiu received the news that they wanted to buy weapons and equipment to strengthen their strength.

Li Jue occupied Luoyang and collected a large sum of money. He had money in his hands, but his troops were not many, and he was eager to buy.

After the battle between Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yu, the loss was also quite serious, and he also needed to replenish his strength.

Both have buying needs.

When Cao Cao received the news, his egg hurt for a while, and it was all aimed at him.

When Cao Cao received the news, he went to summon his subordinates as soon as possible. Zhang Yu was going to do something again, so Cao Cao was afraid that Zhang Yu was coming for him.

"My lord, I'm afraid Zhang Yu is really targeting us." Cheng Yu said after understanding the situation.

Xun You also said: "In this way, Zhang Yu must benefit the most, and we will suffer the most."

The reason is very simple, the ones who were sold were all Cao Cao's enemies, and Cao Cao and the others naturally suffered the most.

"Hidden souls linger, this Zhang Yu is too capable of tossing around." Cao Cao said angrily.

After getting angry, Cao Cao still had to solve the problem first.

"Everyone, how to break the situation?"

Xun You was the first to say: "Nowadays the princes don't trust each other, and any suspicion may be tricked, so the joint boycott may not be effective."

Cheng Yu also said: "Zhang Yu has calculated this point correctly, so he fanned the flames everywhere, and soon there will be rumors everywhere, so we should prepare for the worst."

Man Pang also said: "My lord, if we take the initiative to break the situation, we may still be able to take advantage of this matter."

Cao Cao was very satisfied after seeing the performance of several confidants, at least he saw through Zhang Yu's plan and knew how to deal with it.

After some discussion, Cheng Yu came up with an idea.

"My lord, Zhang Yu's actions will inevitably make all parties suspect each other. Why don't we unite with others to attack one side, and destroy one party if we can," Cheng Yu said.

Xun You also said: "The weakest is Zhang Xiu of Wancheng. Yuan Shu looks huge, but in fact he doesn't have much strength. If we fight against them, we will definitely win."

Cao Cao nodded, thought for a while and said, "Then Zhang Xiu, if you beat Yuan Shu, Zhang Yu will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble."

Now Zhang Yu's power has spread across the Yangtze River and occupied Chao County. Once Cao Cao fights Yuan Shu, maybe Zhang Yu will take the opportunity to attack Cao Cao.

"Beat Wancheng, but Li Jue has occupied Luoyang. I'm afraid we have to repair our relationship with Li Jue and cooperate with Li Jue." Man Pang said.

Li Jue had just attacked Cao Cao and occupied Luoyang. At this time, it may be difficult to cooperate with him to attack Wancheng.

"Although it is difficult, it can be done. Whoever is willing to go to Luoyang as an envoy, explain how powerful it is, and let Li Jue send troops with us to attack Wancheng." Cao Cao said.

Xun You came out and was willing to go on an envoy.

Not long after Cao Cao made a decision, rumors spread everywhere.

Many princes began to guess each other, all afraid that others would buy weapons and equipment.

Guo Jia handled it very well. There were always gossip that some of the princes' subordinates secretly contacted people in Jiangdong.

Guo Jia asked intelligence personnel to forge a lot of fake news, but the fake news is backed up by facts.

For example, someone saw Jiangdong's high-level officials entering Luoyang, and then disappeared.

For example, a senior envoy went to Cao Cao.

It was a fact that I was looking for Cao Cao, and he was also a senior representative of Jiangdong, but nothing happened when I went there. I just told Cao Cao that Cao Ang and the three of them had a good life in Jiangdong.

There were also high-ranking representatives who disclosed that they went to Lu Bu, and some high-level representatives went to Sun Ce. They went to Lu Bu to talk about weapons and equipment, and they went to Sun Ce to talk directly about Zhang Yu and Sun Shangxiang's marriage.

Go to Cao Cao. If someone says that it has nothing to do with weapons and equipment, someone must believe it. Even if Cao Cao comes out to refute the rumors, it will be useless. This will only make people more suspicious.

And Cao Cao can't see him yet.

All kinds of news aggravated the suspicion of the princes.

The atmosphere among the princes became even more tense, as if the war could start at any time.

Regardless of whether they buy weapons or equipment themselves, several major forces must guard against other people's purchases, so they have strengthened their vigilance and mobilized troops.

The mobilization of troops and horses attracted the attention of all parties.

Zhang Yu's plan finally worked, and the suspicions of all parties intensified.

Although everyone knew that Zhang Yu was trying to sell his weapons and equipment, but he had to use it.

If you don't buy it yourself, in case someone secretly buys it.

In fact, some weapons and equipment cannot completely change the situation at all, but Zhang Yu's weapons and equipment are too amazing on the battlefield.

This weaponry depends on who uses it. Even if Yuan Shu's army is equipped with all the equipment, double the number of soldiers and horses against Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses, it will be a disastrous defeat.

But the appearance makes the role of weapons and equipment deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, thinking that buying good weapons and equipment can greatly increase their strength.
