Chapter 951: Initiating the Prologue of the Great War

Zhang Yu wants to fight a war and build roads extensively, which can be said to be a great achievement.

But Zhang Yu now has such confidence.

If the north-south road is built, the degree of access to government orders will be greatly improved, and the north-south communication will be more convenient.

The point is that this is a windfall, which is not in Zhang Yu's plan.

The construction of Chidao is the government's investment in the private sector, which can greatly stimulate the economy, so Zhang Yu is not afraid of making such a big move.

Emperor Sui Yang of the later generations was guilty of contemporary crimes, but merits of future generations. The excavation of the Grand Canal is definitely a great thing that benefits the country and the people. As a result, the people rebelled, but the canal is still in use.

That's because a large number of people were requisitioned, and the land of the people could only be abandoned, and there was no wages. It was purely corvee.

The people could not support their families, and many died of exhaustion on the construction site.

So they rebelled.

But Zhang Yu doesn't have such worries, he can support his family by working without farming. In addition, there is enough food, and the price of food will not rise.

Not only do you not worry that the people will not come to work, but the people will rush to work.

Working alone, you can eat enough to eat, and you can support your family.

Zhang Yu also wanted to dig the canal, but he had to wait until he could afford it.

At that time, millions of people will be mobilized, and millions of dollars will be spent every day. Can Zhang Yu afford it?

After digging for treasures for more than ten days, Zhang Yu went back with a lot of antiques.

I don’t want to sell these antique Zhang Yu, so I will build a museum in the future, or simply find a place to bury them again, and leave them to future generations.

You can bury it with yourself, bury it for a thousand or two thousand years and then dig it out, and then a lot of it will not be destroyed.

The news that Zhang Yu dug up a large number of treasures leaked out, but it did not cause much impact.

The princes can only envy, but they can't grab it even if they want to.

The people didn't respond much, anyway, they wouldn't have their share no matter what.

On the contrary, the cabinet was overjoyed,

This money dictates.

Although Zhang Yu allocated 100 million yuan to the Ministry of Communications, there is still a lot of money that can be allocated.

As the pace of winter gradually passed, the breath of war became more and more intense.

Zhang Yu deployed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Youzhou and Jizhou, and these soldiers and horses moved more and more frequently, repeatedly scouting around the territory of Cao Cao and the Yuan family.

Zhang Yu's actions were all interpreted by the outside world as an attack on Jizhou.

After more than a month of dispatching troops and generals, Zhang Yu and his troops are already in place.

Fusang's 100,000 soldiers and horses have been transported to Jiangdong, but their training is still relatively small.

In addition, the 100,000 soldiers from Langya County, the 100,000 soldiers from Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and the troops originally deployed by Jiangdong were mobilized, and the main battle force has reached 500,000.

Five hundred thousand soldiers and horses is a powerful force.

And Zhang Yu continued to transmit pressure in Youzhou.

This time, 300 million yuan was dug out from the treasure of the Yellow Turban, as well as a large number of antique jade articles.

Zhang Yu didn't plan to sell those antiques, but there were 300 million other things, 100 million was allocated to the Ministry of Communications, 100 million was handed over to the cabinet for arrangement, and the other 100 million was used as military expenses.

After everything was ready, Zhang Yu was ready to attack Jizhou.

Yes, Jizhou acts first, which will attract more attention from others.

Zhang Yu and the others occupied three counties in the east, not far from Yecheng, and could directly threaten the safety of Yecheng.

Zhang Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops are wandering on the border, training, with a posture of attacking at any time.

Even logistics preparations began, food and grass were mobilized, and even siege equipment was manufactured.

"Show me all the momentum, you must scare the other party." Zhang Yu often took the soldiers out for drills, and now they come out with great momentum.

This time Zhang Yu brought 50,000 people out for training, and the 50,000 people were divided into many squares, and various forms of training were carried out in a radius of more than ten miles.

And Cao Jun's scouts have been paying attention in this area, afraid that Zhang Yu will suddenly kill him.

This training lasted for three days, which made Cao Jun's troops on the border very nervous.

Cao Jun was nervous, because Zhang Yu's attack intention was very obvious.

Zhang Yu's 200,000 troops were concentrated here, and several generals also moved around.

Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, and several generals were there.

With the addition of Zhang Yu, five people form a luxurious lineup, and there is another Zhao Yun who doesn't know where.

Zhang Yu's soldiers came forward, and Cao Ang was naturally greeted by a hero.

At the beginning, Cao Ang and the others deployed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the border to prevent Zhang Yu from suddenly killing him.

However, Zhang Yu's momentum is not only great, but also has a large number of soldiers and horses, which makes Cao Ang dare not confront Zhang Yu head-on.

Tens of thousands of troops had to gather together and retreat.

On this day, news came from the front that Zhang Yu's army had invaded their border, Cao Ang called Jia Xu and Xun You.

"Gentlemen, there are only 60,000 troops on the front line, and they cannot stop Zhang Yu's 200,000 troops. Looking at the posture, Zhang Yu is about to attack." Cao Ang said.

The two studied the information, and then analyzed it and said: "My lord, there are only a few county towns that can be defended along the way. It is better to resist for two days and then give up. The point is to consume Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses, and then withdraw to Yecheng, focusing on defense. Yecheng."

Yecheng, at this time, has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, which is very strong.

Cao Ang nodded, he was holding a lot of information in his hand, and looked at it unconsciously.

After a while, he said: "As long as we ensure that Yecheng is safe, even if Zhang Yu captures the surrounding areas, it will only lengthen the battle line in the end."

If there is a place to defend, Cao Ang will not let it go.

Cao Ang already had a calculation in his heart, that is, he used defense to hold Zhang Yu down and consume Zhang Yu.

With Yecheng in hand, Cao Ang didn't have to be afraid of Zhang Yu at all. Even if an army of 500,000 troops came to attack Yecheng, Cao Ang was confident in defending it.

Jia Xu didn't speak all the time, Cao Ang saw that he seemed to have something on his mind, and finally asked, "Mr. Wen He, what do you think?"

"It's not wise for Zhang Yu to attack Yecheng. Yecheng is so strong that he can't take it down for half a year after a fierce attack. He has been in battle for a long time, so he will understand." Jia Xu shook his head, obviously he had no idea.

"My subordinates speculated that Zhang Yu didn't really want to capture Yecheng, but wanted to achieve some purpose by attacking Yecheng."

When Jia Xu said it, Xun You also agreed, but they didn't find anything after studying for a long time.

"The worries of the two gentlemen are very reasonable. I will send a letter to my father and ask him to prepare. In addition, no matter what Zhang Yu's purpose is, we must stick to Yecheng. As long as Yecheng is here, we can deal with everything else."

There is nothing to say about defending Yecheng, it must be defended.

Zhang Yu built momentum on the border for a few days, and then the army began to set off.

"Let's go, target Yecheng."

A few days later, Zhang Yu gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses, and then set off for Yecheng.

Three hours after Zhang Yu set off, Huang Zhong also set off, followed by Tai Shici and Zhang Liao.

Several people are divided into several teams, unlike the traditional forwards and defenders, but the legion and the legion march separately.

Some go hand in hand, some echo back and forth.

Zhang Yu, who seldom completes the military flag, not only has the king's flag inlaid with gold, but also has a lot of military flags in various armies.

There are also several flags of each army, and the scouts of the enemy army can easily distinguish Zhang Yu's troops from the soldiers and horses commanded by whom.

Along the way, Zhang Yu did not hide it, even on such a large scale.

Zhang Yu's speed is not fast, as if they are not in a hurry.

In Jiangdong, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia unexpectedly appeared in Jiangdong.

Zhao Yun arrived half a month ago, while Guo Jia just arrived.
