Chapter 925 Sun Cao United?

Chapter 925 Untitled

This time Zhang Yu put on armor and was fully armed.

And Zhen Mi, Diao Chan and Xiao Qiao and the others were wearing plain clothes.

The military officers all wear war robes, while the civilian officials wear plain clothes.

After leaving the city, the soldiers were already waiting in line.

Needless to say, after Zhang Yu arrived, all the soldiers paid attention to him.

Today is their holiday, and Zhang Yu would hold such a grand ceremony for the soldiers who died in battle.

The excitement of the soldiers was beyond words.

They serve as soldiers here, not soldiers ruffians, not bums, but they must be respected by all classes.

"Set off."

Zhang Yu checked all the phalanxes, and then gave the order to set off.

The army set off, followed by a long line of carriages, these were those from the aristocratic families who came to participate.

Zhang Yu did not issue any request for the sacrificial activities, nor asked other people to participate. Participation is voluntary.

But there are still many people who come to participate.

Not only Zhang Yu and some families, but also many people.

Cao Ang followed Zhou Yu from the rear, and he said leisurely, "This move by Zhang Yu will bring all the soldiers back to their hearts."

Zhou Yu nodded expressionlessly and said, "No matter what Zhang Yu's purpose is, today's actions have bought the hearts of the entire power and people."

It's not just the hearts of the soldiers who are bought, these soldiers also have family members, and all walks of life also understand that their lives are fought back by these soldiers with their lives.

In fact, the people of Youzhou have experienced so many wars, so they naturally know how good these soldiers are.

In the past, when Zhang Yu was not in charge of Youzhou, Liaodong could avoid looting, but other places would still be looted by the Huns from time to time.

After Zhang Yu took over the entire Youzhou, they were rarely looted by the Huns.

The procession made its way to the cemetery outside the city.

The cemetery is on a mountain, and the tombstones are neatly lined up here, both with names and without names.

In a great battle, one-third of the people couldn't even identify their identities. Gu Yong looked at the roster of soldiers and engraved their names on several large stone tablets for future generations to worship.

When they were about to arrive, everyone had to get off their horses, and carriages and sedan chairs were not allowed to enter.

Zhang Yu led several wives in front, followed by Wen Wu.

A large platform was built on the mountain, which can accommodate hundreds of people to worship at the same time.

Zhang Yu went up with a group of officials, while soldiers guarded the surrounding areas.

Gu Yong hosted.

"The sacrifice begins, and all the officials kneel down and salute."

Zhang Yu knelt down to pay homage in person at the very front, this was his first kneeling since he had to kneel down to worship the emperor.

After some etiquette, Zhang Yu stood on the high platform and announced loudly: "All the soldiers who died in battle, you sacrificed your life for the people of Youzhou and to protect your homeland. You will always be sacrificed by future generations and respected by the world forever." Respect, and you will always be remembered in history."

"Here, as long as this king is here, there will be an army guarding your heroic spirits, and people will come to worship you."

The more Zhang Yu spoke, the more excited he became, with a loud voice that many soldiers could hear very clearly.

Many people shed tears, not sad here, but more excited.

The voice spread, and the soldiers were very excited.

The soldiers began to shout, one after another, and then the ground shook.

The scene was very spectacular, and the soldiers used their way to pay homage to these dead souls.

Maybe it won't be long before they're one of them.

After the Shanhu tsunami, Zhang Yu ordered all soldiers to hold a military salute.

There are many people at the foot of the mountain. They come here spontaneously, and worship at the foot of the mountain if they cannot come up.

In fact, the mountain is usually not closed here, and many people spontaneously come to worship, but those who have more relatives are buried here.

After today, I believe more people will spontaneously come to worship.

When there is any festival, the people will come to worship, and the souls of the dead here will not be lonely.

After the grand sacrifice, Zhang Yu went back.

This sacrifice also attracted a lot of attention from the family.

They come from all over the world, and they don't take Zhang Yu's actions seriously. In their concept, soldiers are the lowest level people, and they are insignificant.

But they are not fools, so they naturally know the benefits of Zhang Yu's doing so.

The whole situation is about to change. At the beginning, everyone was optimistic about Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao failed.

Today the biggest princes in the world are Zhang Yu, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce. Although there are Cai Mao, Shu, and several other princes, the biggest are undoubtedly the three of them.

Now Zhang Yu's momentum is getting stronger and stronger.

Even if some aristocratic families have enmity with Zhang Yu, they must face him squarely and even prepare to invest in him.

After the sacrifice, it was already evening when everyone returned to the city.

Zhang Yu and the others went back to rest, but some people couldn't sit still.

Cao Ang invited Zhou Yu to a restaurant.

There was a lot of food and wine, and the two turned away everyone, but they didn't have a good appetite.

Cao Ang first said, "Zhang Yu's momentum is hard to resist."

Zhou Yu didn't shy away from it, he said: "Next, Zhang Yu will expand, either in Jizhou and other places in the north, or in Dongting Lake and other places in the south."

The only princes connected with Zhang Yu are Cao Cao and Sun Ce. If Zhang Yu wants to expand, he can only fight against them.

The two didn't talk much, but the meaning was very clear.

The meaning of the two of them wanting to unite is very clear.

But it was not as clear as what he said. Zhou Yu could influence Sun Ce, but he could not help Sun Ce make decisions.

Similarly, Cao Ang cannot replace Cao Cao.

The two can't really unite, Zhang Yu has an army of one million, Cao Cao also has an army of one million, and Sun Ce can afford to equip an army of one million after development.

The two can cooperate with each other, one in the south and the other in the north to contain Zhang Yu, but they cannot have other close cooperation.

"If our two families cooperate with each other, Zhang Yu will not be able to go west any further." Cao Ang said.

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement and said, "After I go back, I will discuss with Bo Fu, and it will be beneficial to both of us to cooperate to contain Zhang Yu."

The two didn't talk in depth, and they couldn't.

The relationship between the three families is naturally to cooperate with whomever is beneficial. If we have an in-depth discussion on this matter, it will be impossible to discuss it.

The apparent strength of the two is not much inferior to that of Zhang Yu, and it is impossible for them to sign any agreement such as an offensive and defensive alliance.

The two families were in a hurry, but Jiangdong's army began to attack Xuzhou very calmly.

The news of Zhang Yu's dispatch of troops to Xuzhou hadn't reached Cao Cao so quickly, but Cao Cao had been keeping an eye on it. It wouldn't be long before there would be news, and the battle would naturally begin.

In Xuzhou, after Gao Shun Lingcao captured Xiapi City, he entered the army.

Gao Shun's 50,000 heavy infantry defended the city, and another 50,000 defenders were sent to assist Gao Shun.

Ling Cao continued to go to other cities with 100,000 people. As long as Xiapi City was there, he could control half of Xuzhou.
