Zhang Yu sent someone to inform Yuan Shu, just to make Yuan Shu retreat and compromise.

If his 300,000 elite soldiers were all folded here, Yuan Shu would not have many soldiers to fight.

Yang Hong analyzed and calmed down the arrogant Yuan Shu.

He could only ask, "Did you retreat like this?" Give up Poyang Lake? ”

Yang Hong said: "Fighting on two fronts, even if we are strong, we have too much to consider, it is better to retreat first, use a plan to break the alliance between Zhang Yu and Sun Ce, and then break each one." ”

Yuan Shu was very unwilling, so did he retreat like this?

He now has nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, and his strength is naturally strong, so it is naturally no problem to retreat.

But to withdraw, to recapture Poyang Lake again, it will not be so simple.

Yuan Shu hesitated.

Now most of his troops and horses are pinned.

Yuan Shu had to defend against Liu Bei and Cao Cao in the north, and Zhang Yu went to Hefei and restrained too many soldiers and horses.

Yuan Shu thinks about it now, he has an army of millions, but he can use less than half of it.

Sun Ce only surrounded Anhui County and did not attack.

But Sun Ce believed that unless Yuan Shu had reinforcements coming, he would have to retreat in the end.

Don't look at Sun Ce's lack of soldiers and horses, under the leadership of several generals, he is also a small overlord in Jiangdong, with strong combat power.

Sometimes you don't have to have more soldiers to win.

In fact, Yuan Shu would not lose to Sun Ce in the fight, but Yuan Shu took too much into account, which was the variable of Zhang Yu.

If Zhang Yu joins and is attacked, the consequences will be too serious.

Zhang Yu hid the soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shu sent a large number of scouts who did not find out, which made him feel uneasy.

Yuan Shu didn't dare to fight Sun Ce outside the city, so he could only retreat.

The result of this is the loss of large tracts of land.

Sun Ce took control of these places and immediately began to recruit soldiers and horses to expand his strength.

But now it's easy to recruit people, but it's hard to solve problems with weapons and equipment.

However, the "intimate" Zhang Yu immediately came to the door.

"General Sun, my lord said that they have a large amount of weapons and equipment obtained from Yuan's army that can be sold to you, and at the same time, your grain can also be sold to you, and the grain can be transported here according to the market price of 2.5 times." The messenger sent by Zhang Yu said.

Sun Ce calculated, 2.5 times including freight, which is not expensive at all.

When the war started, it was not easy to get food, it would be good to be able to buy it, and like Zhang Yu, they could supply all their grain and grass.

As for Yuan Jun's weapons and equipment, Sun Ce was a little disdainful, but it was better than nothing.

In this way, Zhang Yu sold the weapons and equipment captured from Yuan Shu's capture and the capture of the city to Sun Ce, with a total of more than 70,000 sets of weapons and equipment.

Of course, this is the weapons and equipment that Zhang Yu did not pick up the dead people, otherwise there would be more, and the soldiers of Zhang Yu's team are very respectful, including the enemy's.

In this way, Zhang Yu began to make war money.

This hair is tens of millions of dollars, so that Zhang Yu can do a lot of things.

Unlike Zhang Yufa's war wealth, the current Yuan Shu is extremely entangled.

After thinking about it, he called Yang Hong and said, "It's better to negotiate with Zhang Yu, agree to his request, and let him not interfere in this war." ”

Yuan Shu also had the illusion that as long as Zhang Yu withdrew, then they could win.

However, Yang Hong is not optimistic at all, it will be too expensive to let Zhang Yu retreat at this time, and if Zhang Yu repents, they are still very dangerous.

Yang Hong finally went to Zhang Yu to find out the wind.

Although Sun Ce besieged the city, he did not besiege it, and the small force was still able to come and go, and Sun Ce did not want to trap them to death, because the troops were insufficient, as long as they were controlled in a large area, so that the army could not travel.

Two days later, Yang Hong arrived at Zhang Yu's military camp.

"Haha, Lord Yang, what do you think of my barracks? Can Yuan Shu's 300,000 army break through? Zhang Yu team Yang Hong said.

Yang Hong was very speechless, this Zhang Yu was so arrogant.

"Lord Zhang, my lord is willing to reconcile with Lord Zhang, I don't know what you think?" Yang Hong said.

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "The conditions for reconciliation last time were very simple, but if you want to reconcile this time, it is not so easy." ”

Yang Hong's heart sank slightly, and he also knew this situation, although Yuan Shu was not in danger now, he was also restrained by all sides, and he had lost a lot of land.

"Please ask Lord Zhang to make conditions." Yang Hong said.

Yang Hong has already planned it, and if the conditions are acceptable, he will continue to talk, and if he can't accept it, he will leave.

At this time, Zhang Yu would not ink with Yang Hong, he said directly: "Let Yuan Shu give up Chaohu, take Chaohu Lake as the boundary, and withdraw from Anhui County, the compensation will be counted, if Yuan Shu can do it, I promise that I will not take the initiative to attack Yuan Shu within half a year." and immediately withdrew from the army, except for doing some business, he would not help Sun Ce in any form. ”

"Impossible, other conditions are easy to handle, and even my lord can promise you 50 million yuan, but it is absolutely impossible to withdraw from Anhui County." Yang Hong said.

Zhang Yu had already guessed Yang Hong's possible reaction, this Anhui County was too important, and losing Anhui County was equivalent to losing half of Poyang Lake.

Zhang Yu immediately threatened: "I still have 200,000 soldiers and horses, if Yuan Shu does not withdraw from Anhui County, although I will not attack, but I will definitely cut off Yuan Shu's retreat." ”

Threaten, just like that, threaten Yuan Shu.

Yang Hong was so angry that he was about to go berserk.

"Zhang Yu, my lord's million-strong army, how can I let you threaten."

Zhang Yu spread his hands and lazily ignored him.

Zhang Yu blocked Yuan Shu's grain channel, and he waited for it, not in a hurry at all.

In the end, Yang Hong went back.

After going back, Yuan Shu almost went berserk after hearing it.

At this time, the three parties formed a confrontation, and hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Anhui County.

However, Zhang Yu is the most relaxed, and he can still do "business", sell some food and weapons and equipment, and make tens of millions of dollars from him.

And the other two parties are just consuming all the time.

Although Zhang Yu is also consuming, his seizure is enough to support his current consumption.

In Sun Ce's camp, Zhou Yu kept thinking in the barracks.

He had a plan in his head and had been thinking about it for a day.

"This plan is very likely to succeed, but if you do so, you will offend Zhang Yu." Zhou Yu pondered.

Zhou Yu continued to refine the plan and stayed alone in the big tent for two days.

Zhou Yu's situation, Sun Ce also found a problem, so he came to him.

"Gong Jin, what's wrong with you?" Sun Ce asked.

"I thought of a plan to break the city, but this plan has more serious sequelae." Zhou Yu said.

"Sequelae? What are the after-effects of breaking the city? Sun Ce said puzzled.

"Our army is pretending to be Zhang Yu's main force, so it will offend Zhang Yu." Zhou Yu said.

It turned out that Zhou Yu's plan needed to offend Zhang Yu, so he had to be cautious.

"Yes, as long as we control Poyang Lake, our strength is no less than that of Zhang Yu, but if we offend, we will be offended." Sun Ce said.

"Okay, then we'll do it." Zhou Yu said.

So, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce offered his strategy.
