Chapter 705: Cai Mao's Temptation
Zhang Yu left, and really left, and will not return.
But it doesn't seem to end there.
One day after Zhang Yu left, the word spread about Xiangyang City.
"This chapter of the general's army left like this, so wronged."
"This Liu Jingzhou is really so ruthless, General Zhang helped their Han family fight the country, and they refused to give even a little grain and grass."
"When I left, I saw with my own eyes that their troops were still wearing summer clothes."
"Oops, that's not cold."
"General Zhang is gone, who will help us suppress the bandits."
All kinds of remarks spread by word of mouth among the people, and Zhang Yu became a hero and a person who was greatly wronged.
And Liu Biao naturally became the opposite and became the target of everyone's crusade.
The people praised Zhang Yu and belittled Liu Biao, which was something he never expected.
When these rumors reached Liu Biao's ears through various channels, the unlucky Liu Biao immediately fainted.
Liu Biao was unlucky enough, and Zhang Yu went all the way back, which was very smooth.
Zhang Yu wants to go back to preside over the development as soon as possible.
Nowadays, whether it is Jiangdong or Youzhou, there are many things, and in addition, the explosive development of overseas also needs to go back to preside over it.
Jiangdong and Youzhou are okay, Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao can watch, but the overseas part, with some big strategies, is really not good without Zhang Yu personally presiding.
After leaving for so long, eight or nine months, and a year has passed, Zhang Yu must go back as soon as possible.
A lot has happened in this year.
It is said that Liu Bei, who was driven all the way by Zhang Yu, fought with Cao Cao in the mountains for more than three months, and finally because of the lack of food and grass, Liu Bei had to surrender to Cao Cao with more than 3,000 people.
Liu Bei was forced to surrender, and it was not okay not to surrender.
There were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and it didn't take long for more than 3,000 people to remain.
The main thing is that they didn't eat.
Eat grass roots and bark in the mountains, and occasionally hunt some prey to eat.
Some soldiers died either in battle, from disease, or from starvation.
When they surrendered, the situation was very miserable.
Guan Zhang and Liu are embarrassed, and there is only one skeleton left.
But the other soldiers were even worse.
Liu Bei didn't know how wronged he was, when he became what he is now.
Liu Bei was finally co-opted, if it weren't for Cao Cao's talent to cherish Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, this Liu Bei would definitely be unhappy.
As in history, the three of them lost their soldiers and horses, and Liu Bei was even placed under house arrest.
Although Liu Bei worked hard to change his fate, he turned around and returned to the origin of history.
Liu Bei still fell into the hands of Cao Cao and became Cao Cao's prisoner.
At the same time, he also lost all his soldiers and horses.
The most important thing is that Liu Bei's reputation stinks, and he was stinked by Zhang Yu.
He is with Yuan Shu, he is Yuan Shu's subordinate, Yuan Shu is the emperor, his reputation is very bad, and he is also bad.
Zhang Yu would not mourn for him, he went back with his soldiers and horses, and with a lot of wealth.
This time, I went to collect it and went back with a fortune worth more than 500 million yuan.
And that's not even counting the money earned from selling weapons and equipment before.
In fact, the war against Yuan Shu was over long ago.
Zhang Yu finally went back as the biggest winner.
Zhang Yu walked for a few days before arriving in Jiangxia.
Jiangxia is the gateway to Jingzhou, in fact, it is very close, but Zhang Yu has too much baggage.
When he arrived in Jiangxia, this Cai Mao naturally brought his civil and military forces to greet him.
Cai Mao was very happy, this time he felt very deeply, and he had a deep control over Jingzhou.
If it weren't for Zhang Yu's idea, he wouldn't have thought of using this method to secretly control Jingzhou without being very noticeable.
It won't be long before he can actually take control of Jingzhou.
It's all because of Zhang Yu.
When Zhang Yu arrived, Cai Mao naturally had to greet her.
"Congratulations to the head of the Cai family." Zhang Yu said.
"Haha, Lord Zhang is also happy."
The two talked as equals.
After chatting a few words, Cai Mao welcomed them in.
"Or Master Zhang has a way, I'm afraid this Liu Biao will be sick for a while, it's better to die."
Entering the inner hall, there were no outsiders, and Cai Mao had no respect for Liu Biao at all.
"It's best to be sick, after a while, when you control a part of the army, then Liu Biao will be under your control." Zhang Yu replied casually.
Cai Mao nodded and said: "When this Liu Biao came to Jingzhou, it was also supported by several of our major families together, otherwise he would be alone, who would buy his account, this Jingzhou has never been his Liu Biao's." ”
This is a fact, Liu Biao or Jingzhou can still listen to him, in history, as soon as he died, this Jingzhou soon changed hands.
"Lord Cai, there is no suspense about taking Jingzhou, can you and I cooperate more extensively." Zhang Yu said.
"Hahaha, of course, of course." Cai Mao said.
The two began to talk about specific things, and after some discussion, it was not very pleasant.
Cai Mao is very polite and has a good attitude towards Zhang Yu.
But when it comes to specific things, Cai Mao regards herself as the master of Jingzhou and does not let Zhang Yu interfere at all.
Zhang Yu also saw that Cai Mao regarded Jingzhou as his own and must not be touched by others.
In this way, Zhang Yu immediately adjusted the plan, not to give Cai Mao any attention to governing Jingzhou, but to let Cai Mao need his own help.
"Master Cai, let's not talk about anything else, this Jingzhou is focused on the navy, and your shipbuilding is not as good as ours, although I have never built a warship, but the merchant ship is definitely first-class."
"You can send me the craftsman, and I will study whatever boat you want, and the price is definitely much, much lower than if you built it yourself."
"Don't dare to say big things, it's absolutely no problem to be as low as 30%, and when the time comes, you just need to raise a group of people who repair ships."
Zhang Yu didn't talk about anything else, only talked about shipbuilding cooperation with Cai Mao.
Zhang Yu actually built warships, and built a lot, and also had a good navy.
It's just to dispel Cai Mao's concerns.
"Haha, Master Zhang, what you said is right, your shipbuilding is first-class, I still want to buy dozens of more merchant ships, but warships are different from merchant ships, you can't build them." Cai Mao said with a smile.
In fact, Zhang Yu's warship was already much higher than Cai Mao's warship.
"Three months, you give me three months, and I will build you a good warship, what do you think." Zhang Yu said.
After hearing this, Cai Mao's face was cloudy.
He suddenly thought that this Jiangdong was so good at building warships, with so many workers and so many crews, what kind of combat effectiveness would it have at that time.
Cai Mao has always boasted that he is the best in the world, if Zhang Yu has a very fast shipbuilding ability, will the first navy be robbed by Zhang Yu in the future.
Cai Mao was very worried, worried that Zhang Yu would compete with him on the Yangtze River.
"Okay, okay, then you can try to build it, but why doesn't Master Zhang also raise a water army?" Cai Mao asked tentatively.
