The envoy from Xuzhou would come to Zhang Yu, which really made Zhang Yu a little strange.

But it's not surprising to think about it.

Cao Cao's troops surrounded Xuzhou, Tao Qian was under great pressure, and the key was that Tao Qian was not Cao Cao's opponent at all, and if he wanted to keep Xuzhou, he could only seek support.

In other words, Tao Qian was not looking for Zhang Yu's family, he found a lot of people to help.

It's just that Zhang Yu has always been "anxious for justice and righteousness", as long as he gives enough money, he seems to be able to help with anything.

Zhang Yu met the messenger, who was not only Tao Qian's envoy, but also a guest of the Mi family.

Tao Qian is smarter and knows how to play the cards of the Mi family.

"General Zhang, Tao Zhoumu asked me to bring it to you, and my lord also asked me to bring it to you." The messenger came in and said.

Sure enough, the messenger had a dual mission.

Zhang Yu politely invited him to take a seat, and then chatted for a while.

After a while, Zhang Yu asked everyone else to go out, and the two of them were left in the study.

He was in his forties, bearded, and robed.

After the two of them were polite, the messenger said: "General Zhang, Taozhou Mu was originally well-intentioned, who knew that it would be like this in the end, then Cao Cao not only besieged my Xuzhou, but also threatened to slaughter the city, please General Zhang to help, so that the people of Xuzhou will not be slaughtered." ”

After listening, Zhang Yu was silent for a while, and then said: "Where is the slaughter of the city is a matter of my generation, at most, the property of the family in the city has been copied, what kind of oil and water do ordinary people have." ”

Stunned.

The messenger was stunned.

Shouldn't Zhang Yu denounce Cao Cao with righteous indignation?

How could this be.

Zhang Yu actually said that ordinary people have no oil and water, so it's good to rob the family.

Slaughtering the city was absolutely unpopular, and Zhang Yu didn't seem to hear that Cao Cao was going to slaughter the city, so he actually taught Cao Cao to just rob the family.

Only then did this envoy remember what kind of master Zhang Yu was.

Zhang Yu will not slaughter the city, but the things he does are also small, robbing the family, and even destroying a family is also a common thing.

I don't know how many cities Zhang Yu has ransacked.

"Interests, yes, Zhang Yu is really profitable." The messenger knew that he could not "influence" Zhang Yu with righteousness, and he had to impress Zhang Yu with interests.

Coming to his senses, the messenger said: "General Zhang, please also help me Xuzhou through this calamity, Taozhou Mu must be grateful, in addition, my lord's business has been greatly affected recently, and he also needs General Zhang's help." ”

Soon the messenger asked Zhang Yu to bid, the price was negotiable, as long as Zhang Yu was willing to send troops to help Xuzhou.

Fighting across states, Zhang Yu has this ability.

Zhang Yu's army could support Xuzhou from the sea.

Historically, Cao Cao did not conquer Xuzhou, but in this time and space, a lot of variables have happened, and Zhang Yu is not sure whether Cao Cao can capture Xuzhou.

However, since Xuzhou asked for help and gave benefits, Zhang Yu felt that he could do it.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yu wants to keep Xuzhou, and at the same time to protect his own interests.

Zhang Yu has a huge trade with the Mi family, and if Xuzhou loses too much, then Zhang Yu also loses a lot.

"I can send troops, but at most 30,000, and if I can, I don't fight as much as possible, I am more supportive, but the cost of sending troops must not be less at all." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu will not let his soldiers charge for others, but it is still okay to support and other situations.

The envoys of Xuzhou were obviously not satisfied, they wanted Zhang Yu to send troops to help them fight, and Zhang Yu was only willing to support.

However, Zhang Yuken sent 30,000 troops, which is a lot of 30,000 soldiers and horses, which can give Cao Cao a certain amount of pressure.

Zhang Yu said again: "10 million, as long as 10 million, I can openly threaten Cao Cao, if Cao Cao dares to slaughter the city, I will definitely send troops to fight him." ”

Yes, it is such a statement, Zhang Yu wants 10 million.

In addition, the price of the specific dispatch of troops will be discussed separately.

The messenger thought it could.

Whether or not this statement is useful, it can at least neutralize Cao Cao's threat to slaughter the city.

It can greatly save morale, and at the same time, it can also make the people of Xuzhou less panicked.

So the messenger felt that the deal was okay.

The main thing is that Zhang Yu's threat is useful, unlike others, just talking.

When Zhang Yu said this, Cao Cao had to pay attention to it.

No one knows if Zhang Yu will actually do this, what if he will?

Therefore, Cao Cao must pay attention to it no matter what.

Then the two sides began to discuss the specific dispatch of troops.

If Zhang Yu wants to send troops to help Xuzhou, the price is not small.

Zhang Yu first offered a price of 30,000 troops and 50 million.

It's just the cost of sending troops.

When I arrived in Xuzhou, Xuzhou was responsible for all the grain and grass.

In addition, if you help fight the war, the pension must be paid according to Zhang Yu's standards.

And Zhang Yu has the right to recruit troops on the spot in Xuzhou.

There are also many specific agreements, which took more than an hour for the two sides to negotiate.

When the specific agreement was signed, Guo Jia and others also came over.

"Lord, are you really going to send troops to Xuzhou?"

Seeing such a detailed agreement, Guo Jia knew that Zhang Yu was really going to Xuzhou to fight.

Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Collecting people's money, of course, we have to eliminate disasters, and we can also beat our fame, and there may be more business in the future." ”

Guo Jia smiled and shook his head, knowing that this was Zhang Yu's joke.

After a while, Zhang Yu's face became serious and said: "Most of our veterans died in battle, and almost all of today's 200,000 soldiers and horses are new soldiers, and they must be tempered well on the battlefield, Xuzhou is a good battlefield." ”

Training troops and making money is Zhang Yu's real purpose.

"Fengxiao, you have to follow the past this time, mainly because you also planted some intelligence seeds in Xuzhou, which will definitely be of great use in the future." Zhang Yu said.

"No." Guo Jiaying said: "Lord, who are you going to take this time?" ”

"Take Gao Shun to go, the cavalry has to fight across the sea, which is really inconvenient, and Gao Shun's soldiers and horses have been trained for so long, so they should be tempered."

Zhang Yu did not bring cavalry this time, but infantry.

Infantry is easier to replenish on the battlefield.

The most important thing is that the opponent is Cao Cao, and if the cavalry losses are too great, Zhang Yu is also distressed.

After signing the agreement, Zhang Yu and the others quickly began to act.

Gao Shun's soldiers and horses began to move towards Yuxian, preparing where to get on the ship.

At the same time, Zhang Yu also asked Xuzhou to prepare everything.

The statement will be issued immediately, but Xuzhou must prepare the money before they arrive in Xuzhou, and the money will be paid after the fleet arrives.

Zhang Yu issued a statement after signing the agreement.

Declare that the war cannot deliberately affect the people, let alone slaughter the city, if Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are found to slaughter the city, Zhang Yu will send troops to attack Cao Cao.

As soon as this statement came out, many people believed that Cao Cao did not dare to slaughter the city.

Once the city was slaughtered, Zhang Yu would have an excuse to interfere, which would be very unfavorable to Cao Cao at that time.

A few days later, through the fast horse, the announcement spread throughout the northern lands.

When Cao Cao received the news, Cao Cao, who was already in a state of anger, was even more furious.
