Chapter 945 Arrangement

Zhang Yu focused on developing the economy.

Without the economy, it is impossible to equip many troops, and it is impossible to start the age of sailing.

Several policies, including the strategic layout of the territory, the burning of primeval forests, the recruitment of Fusang soldiers, etc., were arranged one by one.

When Zhang Yu vigorously developed the economy, Cao Cao stormed Jizhou, but Zhang Yu kept holding him back, and the army made gestures to attack their rear from time to time, which caused Cao Cao a headache.

However, under Cao Cao's strong promotion, he finally captured Yecheng.

It's just that the price is too high, because Zhang Yu has been doing things in the rear, and Cao Cao can't afford to delay, so he keeps attacking.

The price of the onslaught was that he took down Yecheng after sacrificing 200,000 troops.

After taking Yecheng, Cao Cao had to stop attacking.

One is Zhang Yu's constant threats, and the other is that his army will not be able to increase its combat effectiveness without major adjustments.

Although Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi gave up Yecheng, they still had many troops and were still fighting, and they could not win in a short time.

Under such circumstances, Cao Cao could only suspend the attack and consolidate the results of the battle.

Cao Cao stationed heavy troops in Yecheng, and then began to reorganize his troops. His soldiers and horses may not be able to survive without reorganization and adaptation.

Cao Cao was dragged down by Zhang Yu and sacrificed 200,000 soldiers and horses to conquer Yecheng, but the surrounding areas of Yecheng were also controlled by him.

Today's Jizhou is divided into three parts of the world, and Zhang Yu has conquered three counties, with about a quarter of the territory, and the rest is divided into one third by Cao Cao.

The Yuan family has fallen, and the family in Jizhou is panicking. At this time, they are making three bets.

The Yuan family is naturally the least hopeful of them. Many people obviously have to follow the Yuan family, but they have already started to make a lot of preparations secretly.

The bottom bank, that is, they exchanged a lot of silver notes through local merchants.

At the same time, the current aristocratic family has also learned to master, and secretly sold many properties. After the properties were sold, they were exchanged for bank notes, and they could go anywhere at that time.

Of course, there are also people who buy properties specifically at this time. Some aristocratic families have bad relations with Cao Cao and Zhang Yu, and even those who have enemies are eager to sell them and go to further places.

Their prices are so low, they can even be cut in half.

These people are not afraid of who will rule in the end, anyway, they will just actively rely on it when the time comes.

The aristocratic family survived relatively well in this era.

After Cao Cao took control of Yecheng, he asked Cao Ren to guard it, accompanied by several generals, and Cheng Yu, and then Cao Cao returned to Xuchang.

After Cao Cao ceased fighting, Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses stopped tossing.

Continuing to toss is too much of a waste of military expenses, it is better to go back to the camp and train well.

In this way, Jizhou calmed down again.

For more than two months, Zhang Yu has never cared about the war, and has been making money everywhere.

I have to say that Zhang Yu still has the ability to make money.

He sent a lot of people to spread messages and guide others. The most important thing is that some merchants appeared in Jizhou to help people exchange bank notes at the right time.

In this way, many people in need exchanged a large amount of silver notes.

A large amount of gold coins, silver coins or copper coins flowed into Zhang Yu's bank through underground channels.

These money Zhang Yu will have people special statistics, the money will not be exchanged out in the short term, Zhang Yu will use it directly, wait for the money from Fusang Na to be dug out, and then slowly fill it up.

There is no interest in getting money like this, which is tantamount to using the other party's money for nothing.

Zhang Yu got another sum of money, and also raised a sum of money from a businessman in Youzhou. As soon as he got the money, Zhang Yu gave it away.

At this time, Guo Jia came back.

Guo Jia worked hard all the way and was very tired, but he still came to Zhang Yu immediately.

Guo Jia went to find Ma Teng, but the period was not smooth.

Ma Teng received him warmly, after all Zhang Yu supported him a lot of money.

But when Guo Jia asked Ma Teng to help, he agreed readily, that is, he would not discuss the details with Guo Jia. When he saw Guo Jia, he was also warmly entertained, but he was not interested in practical things.

"My lord, this Ma Teng is still keen to compete with the surrounding princes for territory, and he doesn't care about our affairs at all."

Zhang Yu had expected that these princes only had eyes in their hearts, and there was no world.

Ma Teng didn't cooperate, or was too lazy to cooperate, so Guo Jia went to find Ma Chao.

From Guo Jia's point of view, it would be more reliable to find Ma Chao, but Ma Chao directly asked Guo Jia to go ahead and say hello to whomever he wanted.

Guo Jia wanted them to send out people, not their passports.

What Ma Chao meant was that he had no interest in these things, but he could cover them, and no one would embarrass the people sent by Guo Jia.

In this way, Guo Jia was disappointed again.

"My lord, Ma Yunlu is better. He actively cooperated with us and did a lot of things for us. He also helped us contact some Hu merchants and learned more about the Roman Empire from them."

This time Guo Jia brought news of the Roman Empire.

"My lord, from the news of the Hu merchants, we can judge that there are many and powerful Roman troops, and they are now fighting everywhere."

"In addition, they have sent a lot of people over to learn about our Huaxia, but the distance is far away, and the language barrier is more important to learn about the situation in the west."

What worries Zhang Yu is that the Roman Empire will invade China when there is no place to invade, and China will not be an opponent at that time.

"Looks like we're going to speed up our plans."

Zhang Yu thought for a long time, he must first guide the Roman Empire to attack other places, otherwise it would be difficult for China to parry.

When the Roman Legion's hundreds of thousands of troops came from the west, no one could stop them.

Let Zhang Yu go, hundreds of thousands of troops march west, and logistics alone can drag him to death.

In ancient wars, logistics must definitely come first.

Of course, the logistics of the Roman Empire is also a big problem, but as long as they attack, they can burn, kill and loot on the spot. They are different from the princes. After the princes attack a place, they are all Chinese. The purpose is to rule and control this place. So it will be developed here to minimize damage.

"We must establish a political power in South Africa next year, and directly recruit a group of refugees, and they must be young refugees."

Going to South Africa is a long way, and the elderly and children may die on the way.

"There are not enough women, so let's get a group of young women from Fusang and get married directly."

Zhang Yu made up his mind that he must establish a stronghold in South Africa as soon as possible, and then develop.

In addition, Zhang Yu also ordered a fleet to prepare to set sail for Europe, and brought a large amount of goods to let the Roman Empire touch the sea and let them develop to the sea.

"All hope comes in time."

The Roman Empire is held back here, and the other side naturally wants to unify China as soon as possible. After a few months of truce, Zhang Yu plans to restart the war. To read books on this site, please use the latest domain name
