Chapter 814 Suspicion

Zhang Yu had no intention of chasing and killing Yuan Shu. Historically, Yuan Shu was killed by Cao Cao on the way.

It would be even better if he wasn't killed, because he could create some trouble for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the same time, so there was no need for Zhang Yu to chase and kill Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was so nasty, he went to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, and he couldn't get through if something happened.

At the same time, Cao Cao must be afraid that they will unite and cause him a lot of trouble.

"The 300,000 refugees have been arranged to go back in the past few days, and the speed is too slow." Zhang Yu has been dealing with other things after entering the city, and the military affairs are completely handed over to his subordinates.

"My lord, after all, it's a battlefield, and war takes precedence." Gao Shun said.

Zhang Yu sighed and said: "We must speed up. Clearing out the refugees will also help us quickly stabilize the battlefield. Most of these people will be sent to Fengxiao."

Under Yuan Shu's rule, the people were in dire straits, and there were many refugees.

This also caused a lot of trouble for Zhang Yu and the others, requiring a lot of troops to maintain order, and also produced a lot of bandits.

In this way, Zhang Yu naturally hopes to transfer the refugees away as soon as possible, supplement overseas, and at the same time reduce his pressure.

But in wartime, everything has wartime rules, and a large number of soldiers have to do other things and have no time to deal with these things.

Although Zhang Yu deployed a large number of people to help, the number was huge and he could not handle it in time.

A few things, Zhang Yu has been grasping the refugee issue.

Zhang Yu just paid attention to the changes on the battlefield, and did not take any action for the time being.

After Sun Ce broke through Lu'an, he recruited some surrendered troops, and then fortified the city, with very obvious intentions.

And Cao Ang has been besieging and not attacking, just cleaning up the surrounding area and preparing for the big battle.

Cao Ang dispatched a large army with a large number of generals. This time, he wanted to eliminate Yuan Shu at once.

The three parties have their own ideas, but the battlefield still enters the school as Zhang Yu expected

"There is a huge shortage of food, collect food from the surrounding areas, and deliver it to the strongholds along the road." Zhang Yu gave another order.

A few soldiers of the order,

And Gao Shun came to assist him temporarily.

"My lord, in the short term, we can provide the refugees with one or two meals without starving to death. After crossing the Yangtze River, we will have enough food." Gao Shun suggested.

"It's okay, but they are hungry, and their movement speed will slow down, so it's hard to take care of both." Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly.

Gao Shun hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Why don't you borrow some food."

Borrow food? Sun Ce, Cao Ang or Yuan Shu?

Zhang Yu himself has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and enough food and grass, but now in wartime, even if people starve to death, Zhang Yu will not use military rations.

Changes may occur on the battlefield at any time. There is no food and grass, and the morale of the army is unstable.

But now he has to afford food for a large number of refugees, so Zhang Yu can't get so much food for a while.

"Let me try, send someone to send letters to Sun Ce and Yuan Shu to borrow food from them, what if they are willing to borrow?" Zhang Yu said.

Just do it, Zhang Yu wrote a letter immediately, the letter was written in a more urgent, semi-imperative tone.

"Borrow it if you can. It's just a hope. We still have to find a way." Zhang Yu said.

This place is really too poor, which Zhang Yu did not expect.

Everything that could be collected was wiped out by Yuan Shu, otherwise Zhang Yu could still grab it and force those who had a lot of food to sell it.

But now there's nothing

Zhang Yu wrote two letters to borrow food.

At the same time, Zhang Yu tried his best to coordinate with others.

The credit is fast, and it will be delivered in less than two days.

After receiving the letter, Sun Ce came to Zhou Yu and said, "What does Zhang Yu want to do? Ask us to borrow food. Do you know that we are hoarding food and grass in Lu'an to prepare and come to warn us?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said: "He is indeed short of food. He has gathered a large number of refugees, so he must need food. However, I have received some news that he did not use military rations, so it is really possible that he kills two birds with one stone. Let me warn us by the way."

"We should contact Cao Ang to see if we can cooperate." Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu nodded while holding the letter, and said, "I won't lend him food for the time being, and I won't reply to the letter. Let's see what happens next."

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu then began to discuss the attack on Shouchun City.

"The best way is for us to stand on three legs and restrict each other. Zhang Yu occupies Hefei City, we occupy Lu'an, and give up Shouchun to Cao Ang." Zhou Yu said.

Sun Ce nodded, and then said: "Shouchun City is undoubtedly the most valuable, let's let it out, don't fight, let Cao Ang give us some other benefits no matter what."

Sun Ce was discussing with Zhou Yu, and Cao Ang also received the news.

Cao Ang called a few uncles, and Cheng Yu.

"Zhang Yu borrowed food, what do you think?" Cao Ang asked.

"If you don't borrow it, why should you lend it to him? There will be no return." Xiahou Dun said angrily.

Cao Ren also said: "My lord, if Yuan Shu doesn't abandon the city and flee, we may have to fight for a long time. It may last for several months. We really can't borrow food."

Cao Ang didn't comment, but looked at Cheng Yu.

"Borrow, 100,000 dans of food will have an impact on us, but it won't be too big, and it will be shipped from the rear soon." Cheng Yu said.

"Borrow?" Cao Ang asked in surprise.

"Yes, lending it to him will cause Sun Ce to misunderstand, thinking that we will join forces with Zhang Yu, and some Sun Ce will be anxious at that time. Maybe he will pay a higher price to win us over." Cheng Yu explained.

"Wonderful." Cao Ang clapped his hands and said, "The three of us no longer trust each other after the war. This can be proved by Sun Ce's reaction after he occupied Lu'an."

"Although Sun Ce is not weak, he is next to Zhang Yu, and there are a lot of sites close to each other. He is most afraid that Zhang Yu will attack him. For his benefit, it is the best choice to cooperate with us."

"But at this time, Sun Ce may still choose to wait for the price and put pressure on us with Zhang Yu. If we act first, Sun Ce will be completely at a disadvantage."

After Cao Ang understood it, he analyzed it and admired Cheng Yu very much.

Immediately, Cao Ang ordered to act in a high-profile manner.

After he delivered the grain and grass, the letter from Sun Ce would arrive.

"Haha, Uncle Cheng, your guess is indeed correct, this Sun Ce wants to join us to check and balance Zhang Yu." Cao Ang said happily after receiving the letter.

"Sun Ce hasn't received our loan of food to Zhang Yu yet, so there is no need to reply now. If we don't reply, he will be even more anxious." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Ang nodded, and then said: "What benefits should we seek from him?"

"The benefits don't need to be too much, as long as they can make up for our losses. Of course, they can't be too few. If there are too few, Sun Ce will be suspicious. The most important thing is that we use this matter to make the conflict between Sun Ce and Zhang Yu clear. "Cheng Yu said.

On the bright side, sometimes it is difficult to control.
