Lu Bu is the god of war, and no one can match him on the battlefield.

But he didn't understand strategy at all, so he didn't understand why Zhang Yu had to pay a big price to kill him.

Even Zhang Yu can hand over Xiapi City to Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, but Lu Bu is not allowed to exist.

Strategically, Xiapicheng is a marginal area for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, not a strategic center of gravity, but for Lu Bu is his core.

A few days after the battle, Zhang Yu surrounded Xiapi City with an army of nearly 300,000.

Even, the traces of the war outside Xiapi City are still so obvious.

Hundreds of thousands of corpses have not yet been disposed of.

"Zhang Yu, is this crazy? In just a few days, Xiapi City was surrounded. ”

Lu Bu couldn't understand that this big battle had such a big loss, so he shouldn't have taken a break for a while, at least a few months, but Zhang Yu was killed a few days later.

Lu Bu didn't make any preparations at all, the army needed to rest, and the battlefield needed to be cleaned up.

However, Zhang Yu was like this, and soon surrounded Xiapi City.

Chen Gong heard Lu Bu's roar, sighed and said, "Zhang Yu has already considered it from a strategic level, and he will not give up unless we can inflict heavy damage on him this time." ”

"If he doesn't give up, unless he wants to cripple the 300,000 army, it will be absolutely impossible to take this Picheng." Lu Bu said.

Xiapi City is naturally strong, and it is very difficult for Zhang Yu to break through Xiapi City.

Chen Gong shook his head and didn't say anything, it was no longer a simple ploy that could be cracked.

Although now three have defeated two, and there is only one left, but one does not mean that it is easy to fight.

"Lord, Picheng is still not easy to fight now."

After surrounding the city, Zhang Yu and Guo Jia began to study how to break the city.

"If you can't attack it, then surround it first, and you can't let them recover." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu cut off the connection between Xiapicheng and other places, and did not let Xiapicheng replenish.

Lu Bu and they didn't have time to make any additions, they had just experienced a big war, and there were too many things.

Now that the battlefield has not been cleaned up, Zhang Yu still asked some soldiers to clean up.

Zhang Yu really didn't have a way to conquer Xiapi City.

Cao Cao's method in history is to flood, lead the water to Xiapi City, and flood the entire Xiapi City.

However, Zhang Yu didn't want to do this until the last resort.

Zhang Yu first surrounded it, and then began to build Guangling County.

"What is this Zhang Yu going to do, if you can't fight, you can't leave."

Lu Bu waited for a few days, but Zhang Yu just surrounded him and stopped fighting.

Zhang Yu is not afraid that the grain road will be cut off, Guangling County has been controlled by himself, and this is not his big rear.

"First control the territory to the west of Xiapi City, and collect all the materials." Zhang Yu pointed to the map and said to Ban.

These territories were originally Cao Cao's, Cao Cao was directly defeated, and Zhang Yu sent people to take over.

There are still a lot of materials here, and Zhang Yu took control of them, so he used these materials to surround Xiapi City.

"Also, the most important thing is the population, which we may not be able to control for a long time."

Population, Zhang Yu was no longer short of population, but overseas development made him very short.

The discovery of Tianzhu Kingdom, Zhang Yu wanted to set up a large number of supply points along the way, and he needed a large number of people.

Tianzhu Kingdom has found out, so Hainan and the surrounding areas of Hainan will also enter the development plan, and Zhang Yu will immigrate hundreds of thousands to this island.

In addition, there are also many islands around Tianzhu Kingdom, and Zhang Yu also intends to control them.

"My lord, a great thing."

Zhang Yu was still analyzing the battle situation here, and Guo Jia sent intelligence.

"Fengxiao, but you have thought of a way to crack Picheng?" Zhang Yu said after seeing Guo Jia come over with a happy face.

Guo Jia shook his head, his face still happy.

"Lord, it's the news sent by Zibu, the fleet to Tianzhu is already on the way back, a large number of products brought this time are selling well there, earning a lot of gold and silver back, conservatively estimated, deducting the cost, you can also make millions of money." Guo Jia said.

Millions is nothing to Zhang Yu today, but you must know that the cost of going to sea this time is tens of millions of dollars.

In other words, after deducting tens of millions, you can still make millions, and this transaction is definitely a big deal.

Zhang Yu calculated that if the supply points along the road were established, and starting from Guangzhou, the cost could be reduced by half, and then a trip could make a profit of thirty or forty million dollars.

"Okay, great. If there is money to make, there will naturally be a group of people who don't want to die, and we are willing to invest. Zhang Yu clenched his fists and said excitedly.

The power of capital is infinite, and if there is money to be made on this route, then naturally there are businessmen who are willing to take risks.

Even if the businessman is not willing to take risks, Zhang Yu will invest a lot of money.

The Nautical Fund can play an important role right away.

"Let Zibu announce the news and sort out more detailed information."

Zhang Yu wants to mobilize the power of the people.

Zhang Yu thought about it carefully and then said to Guo Jia: "Let Zibu study it, arrange 300,000 people, set off by land, directly immigrate to Guangzhou, and establish a super city there." ”

The cost of going south by sea is low and the speed is fast, but now Zhang Yu has no extra capacity at all, and all the ships are busy, and it is difficult to draw out a large number of ships.

Therefore, Zhang Yu planned to take the land route.

The land route to the south is not easy to walk, many places have not yet been developed, and the supply along the road is a big problem, and after a month or two, 300,000 people, I don't know how much food to eat.

"Lord, isn't it too radical, it's better to come in batches, 35,000 at a time." Guo Jia persuaded.

Zhang Yu shook his head and said: "Let Zibu study it first, and I will go back when necessary, there must be an explosive development in the south." ”

35,000 immigrants, it takes too long, Zhang Yu doesn't want to wait that long.

Guo Jia did not continue to persuade, what Zhang Yu wanted to do would definitely find a way to complete it, not to mention that after the research, if it was not feasible, Zhang Yu would not forcibly push forward.

"By the way, my lord, in this tentative trade, our tea and porcelain are more popular, but the liquor has not sold much, and silk is also loved by some people." Guo Jia said.

It's understandable that the liquor can't be sold, it's too hot over there, and it will heat people to death.

And the liquor is so strong, it is more suitable for snowy places.

Zhang Yu made some strategic plans for this matter, and then handed it over to Zhang Zhao and others to study.

Zhang Yu stayed under Xiapi City for another two days, but there was still no solution.

"My lord, Cao Cao sent an envoy to bring Cao Ang back, and they also wanted to redeem Cao Ren." The soldier came in and said.

Zhang Yu frowned, and then said, "It seems that I have been short of money recently, but Cao Cao may be poorer than me." ”
