Chapter 805 Locking in Benefits in Advance

Jiangdong has not lost its vitality because of Zhang Yu's tax increase, and is still developing rapidly.

There is no GDP statistics in this era, otherwise it must be very eye-catching.

Various projects are advancing rapidly, and Zhang Yu has enough talents to complete them, so he no longer pays attention to them.

Two days later, Zhang Yu bid farewell to his family, and then led his troops to the expedition.

Zhang Yu set off again, pointing his sword at Yuan Shu.

The other two armies, Sun Ce and Cao Cao have been preparing, and at this time also sent out a large army.

The three armies rushed towards Yuan Shu from three directions.

Yuan Shu felt his doom.

However, with an army of one million and the presence of Marquis Wen Lu Bu, it gave Yuan Shu a little more confidence.

The war has not yet started, and there are various rumors in the market. Under the planning of someone with good intentions, Yuan Shu's army and civilians have no fighting spirit.

Yuan Shu was addicted to drinking and sex all day long, and left everything to his subordinates to deal with.

Although Yuan Shu was arrogant, he was not without some ability. He already knew that it would be difficult for him to defend himself.

The three coalition forces are powerful, although Yuan Shu has an army of one million, it is difficult to resist.

Someone suggested that Yuan Shu surrender to Yuan Shao. After all, he came from the same family, and the ending would not be too ugly.

Although Yuan Shu didn't agree, he didn't get angry either. He had thought about it.

Yuan Shao couldn't just watch Yuan Shu being destroyed like this. Although he didn't care about Yuan Shu at all, the existence of Yuan Shu could also support him.

It would not be a good thing for Yuan Shaolai if Cao Cao and Zhang Yu lost one restraint.

Yuan Shao wanted to take action, but Zhang Yu had 100,000 soldiers on the border of Youzhou. Although there were only 100,000, it showed Zhang Yu's attitude.

At the same time Cao Cao was also on guard against Yuan Shao.

After some assessment, Yuan Shao gave up on rescuing Yuan Shu.

A few days later, Zhang Yu and the others began to cross the river, and soon after crossing the Yangtze River, they would be able to reach Chao County.

Chao County is next to Chaohu Lake.

After it was occupied by Zhang Yu before, it was built into an important military town, laying the foundation for the future conquest of Yuan Shu.

The three armies have no leader, but they have a common goal, to attack Yuan Shu, destroy Yuan Shu, and carve up Yuan Shu. None of the three families hesitated.

Last time because of the conflict between Zhang Yu and Cao Cao, Yuan Shu was not completely wiped out, and the same situation will not happen again this time.

Zhang Yu has an army of 300,000 troops, including Ling Cao, Zhou Cang, Gao Shun, Yu Jin, Zhang Yu and Dian Wei.

"Where are Sun Ce and Cao Ang?" Zhang Yu asked after crossing the Yangtze River.

"My lord, they have already reached the front line and confronted Yuan Jun, but they have not attacked." A personal guard said.

Zhang Yu nodded, his soldiers and horses were not in place yet, and neither of the other two sides had attacked yet.

"Build up momentum for me. This time we want to overwhelm others with momentum, not only Yuan Shu, but also Sun Ce and Cao Cao." Zhang Yu ordered.

Before crossing the Yangtze River, Zhang Yu and the others marched silently without any banner.

After crossing the Yangtze River, Zhang Yu wanted to make a big splash.

Hundreds of thousands of troops can create a very large momentum.

Such a large army can't hide it even if it wants to hide it. The enemy will definitely send someone to inquire about the news.

Therefore, Zhang Yu didn't want to keep a low profile and act high profile.

One hundred thousand soldiers and horses were stationed in Chao County before, and Zhang Yu joined with an army of two hundred thousand.

Two hundred thousand troops were stationed outside the city, and the camps had already been built.

After Zhang Yu and the others were stationed that night, Zhang Yu summoned the generals to start a discussion.

Not long after the beginning, a messenger called out from outside the account.

Zhang Yu let the soldier in, and the soldier knelt on one knee and said, "Master, Sun Ce suddenly led an army to attack Juchao County. It took an hour, and now he is leading an army of 200,000 and continues to go north."

"Well, you go down first." Zhang Yu waved his hand to make the orderly retreat.

"Sun Ce is in such a hurry. He attacked the next city just after we arrived. I'm afraid he wants to seize as much territory as possible." Zhang Yu said.

Ling Cao said: "My lord, now that the enemy army has no fighting spirit and most of the troops have retreated, it is a good time to attack the key cities, while the ordinary cities have fewer soldiers and horses, and the morale of the troops is weak."

Zhang Yu didn't accept Ling Cao's suggestion, and then said: "The strategy is different, the purpose is different, and the attack method is also different. This time, we mainly focus on destroying Yuan Shu. As for occupying the territory, the strength lies in that. After the battle is over, it's up to us to attack." is ours."

Although it is important to grab territory, as long as the enemy is eliminated, then it depends on whose fist is stronger.

In fact, Sun Ce's strength has grown rapidly, and he is no longer the Sun Ce of the past.

Sun Ce occupied a huge area, from Poyang Lake to Dongting Lake, with a vast area and a large population. Now he has more than 600,000 soldiers and horses, and they are all elite soldiers.

However, Sun Ce has a vast territory and scattered troops. Changsha and Dongting Lake stationed 200,000 soldiers and horses, and other places scattered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

So Sun Ce has almost 300,000 soldiers and horses on the Poyang Lake side.

300,000 soldiers and horses are already a lot, but they still don't have an advantage in fighting.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu knew this very well, so they took the initiative to attack, occupy more territory, and try to obtain the maximum benefit as much as possible after the war.

Zhang Yu rejected Ling Cao's proposal, and then Zhang Yu and the others began to analyze the current situation.

"My lord, Yuan Jun is mainly stationed in these three places, Shouchun City, where most of their soldiers and horses are stationed, and Hefei City, where a considerable number of soldiers and horses are also stationed, and finally Lu'an City."

"These three cities have gathered 70% of their soldiers and horses, forming a triangle, trying to resist us."

Gao Shun simply arranged the enemies clearly.

"Okay, these three cities form a corner, and the layout is good, but these three cities are also very far apart, and they can't support each other at all, so we will smash them one by one." Zhang Yu said.

"Send someone to send a letter to Sun Ce, telling him to speed up the offensive. We will meet at the foot of Hefei City, and then attack Hefei City together." Zhang Yu said to the guards around him.

Gao Shun, Yu Jin, and Ling Cao were all stunned for a moment. What is Zhang Yu doing? This Sun Ce is not his subordinate.

Yu Jin asked suspiciously: "My lord, will this Sun Ce listen to us?"

"Zhou Yu is a smart person. He knows my purpose and will definitely do it." Zhang Yu said: "Sun Ce is the weakest of the three parties. Let him occupy other places, and these places will belong to him, but the condition is to help us take down this city of Hefei. .No one in Hefei City can get involved with them."

"Zhou Yu is a smart person. He knows that he can't get it. If he wants to get more, he can only compromise."

Everyone is no longer suspicious, Zhang Yu can do it.

In fact, Zhou Yu and the others are not at a loss. It is not difficult to attack the city all the way to the north.

The soldiers and horses in these cities were obviously used by Yuan Shu to delay time, and the generals and soldiers inside had no fighting spirit.

How could they be Sun Ce's opponents without fighting spirit? The slowest city blocked him for half the time.

Most of the cities can be resolved within an hour or two.

Zhang Yu also sent troops, and the army slowly pressed towards Hefei City.
