Jiangdong has not lost its vitality because of Zhang Yu's tax increase, and it is still developing rapidly.

There are no GDP statistics in this era, otherwise it must be very eye-catching.

The projects are advancing rapidly, and Zhang Yu has enough talents to complete them, so he no longer pays attention to them.

Two days later, Zhang Yu said goodbye to his family and then led his troops out.

Zhang Yu went out again, pointing at Yuan Shu.

The other two armies, Sun Ce and Cao Cao have been preparing, and they also sent out a large army at this time.

The three armies rushed towards Yuan Shu from three directions.

Yuan Shu sensed his end.

However, the army of millions, coupled with Wenhou Lu Bu, gave Yuan Shu a little confidence.

Before the war began, there were all kinds of rumors in the market, and under the planning of well-intentioned people, Yuan Shu's army and people had no fighting spirit.

Yuan Shu indulged in alcohol all day long and left everything to his subordinates.

Although Yuan Shu was arrogant, he was not without a little ability, and he already knew that it was difficult for him to defend.

The strength of the three alliances is strong, and although Yuan Shu has an army of one million, it is difficult to resist.

Someone suggested that Yuan Shu surrender to Yuan Shao, after all, if he came out of the same family, the ending would not be too ugly.

Although Yuan Shu didn't agree, he didn't get angry, he thought about it.

Yuan Shao couldn't just watch Yuan Shu being destroyed, although he didn't care about Yuan Shu at all, but the existence of Yuan Shu could also give him a response.

Cao Cao and Zhang Yu have one less containment, which is not a good thing for Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao wanted to make a move, but Zhang Yu had 100,000 soldiers on the border of Youzhou, although there were only 100,000, it showed Zhang Yu's attitude.

At the same time, Cao Cao also guarded against Yuan Shao.

After some evaluation, Yuan Shao gave up rescuing Yuan Shu.

A few days later, Zhang Yu and his team began to cross the river, and after crossing the Yangtze River, they were soon able to reach Chao County.

Chaoxian County is next to Chaohu Lake, and after being occupied by Zhang Yu before, it was built into a military town, laying the foundation for the future conquest of Yuan Shu.

The three armies did not have an alliance leader, but they had a common purpose, attacking Yuan Shu, destroying Yuan Shu, and carving up Yuan Shu, and the three families did not hesitate.

Last time, because of the conflict between Zhang Yu and Cao Cao, Yuan Shu was not completely destroyed, and this time the three families will not have the same situation again.

Zhang Yu has an army of 300,000, and there will be Ling Cao, Zhou Cang, Gao Shun, Yu Ban, Zhang Yu and Dian Wei, which can be said to be a large lineup.

"Where are Sun Ce and Cao Ang?" Zhang Yu asked after crossing the Yangtze River.

"Lord, they have reached the front line and confronted the Yuan army, but they have not attacked." A guard said.

Zhang Yu nodded, his own soldiers and horses were not yet in place, and the other two parties had not yet attacked.

"Build momentum for me, this time we are going to overwhelm people with momentum, not only to overwhelm Yuan Shu, but also to overwhelm Sun Ce and Cao Cao." Zhang Yu ordered.

Before crossing the Yangtze River, Zhang Yu and the others did not have any banners, so they marched silently.

After crossing the Yangtze River, Zhang Yu wanted to make a big noise.

An army of hundreds of thousands can build a very large momentum.

With such a large number of soldiers and horses, they can't hide if they want to, and the enemy will definitely send someone to find out the news.

Therefore, Zhang Yu didn't want to be low-key and act in a high-profile manner.

Chao County had stationed 100,000 soldiers and horses before, and Zhang Yu joined with 200,000 troops.

Two hundred thousand troops were stationed outside the city, and the camps were built.

After Zhang Yu and them were stationed that night, Zhang Yu summoned the generals to start the discussion.

Shortly after the beginning, a herald called outside the tent.

Zhang Yu let the soldier in, and the soldier knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord, Sun Ce suddenly led a large army to attack Juchao County, and he came down in an hour, and now he is leading an army of 200,000 and continues to go north. ”

"Well, you go down first." Zhang Yu waved his hand to let the herald retreat.

"Sun Ce is so anxious, as soon as we arrived, he captured a city, I'm afraid he wants to grab as much territory as possible." Zhang Yu said.

Ling Cao said: "Lord, now that the enemy army has no fighting spirit, and most of the soldiers and horses have retreated, the defense of key cities, ordinary cities have few soldiers and horses, and the army is weak, it is a good time to capture." ”

Zhang Yu didn't take Ling Cao's suggestion, and then said: "The strategies are different, the purpose is different, and the attack methods are also different. This time, we are mainly destroying Yuan Shu, as for occupying the territory, the strength is there, and when the battle is over, what should be ours is ours. ”

Although it is important to grab the territory, as long as the enemy is eliminated, it will depend on whose fist is hard at that time.

This Sun Ce's strength is actually growing rapidly, and he is no longer the Sun Ce of the year.

The place occupied by Sun Ce is huge, from Poyang Lake to Dongting Lake, the area is vast, the population is large, and his soldiers and horses now have more than 600,000 soldiers, and they are all elite soldiers.

However, Sun Ce's territory was vast, and the soldiers and horses were scattered, with 200,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Changsha and Dongting Lake, and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses scattered in other places.

Therefore, Sun Ce's total of Poyang Lake is almost 300,000 soldiers and horses.

300,000 soldiers and horses are already a lot, but they still do not have an advantage in fighting.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu knew this very well, so they took the initiative to attack, occupy more territory, and try to get the maximum benefits after the war.

Zhang Yu vetoed Ling Cao's proposal, and then Zhang Yu and the others began to analyze the current situation.

"Lord, the Yuan army is mainly stationed in these three places, Shouchun City, where most of their soldiers and horses are stationed, and Hefei City, where quite a lot of soldiers and horses are also stationed, and finally Lu'an City."

"These three cities have gathered seventy percent of their soldiers and horses, forming a triangular posture, wanting to resist our three sides."

Gao Shun simply explained the enemy's arrangement.

"Okay, these three cities are well arranged, but these three cities are very far apart, and they can't support each other at all, so we will break them one by one." Zhang Yu said.

"Send someone to send a letter to Sun Ce, ask him to speed up the offensive, and we will meet under Hefei City, and then attack Hefei City together." Zhang Yu said to the guards beside him.

Gao Shun, Yu Ban, and Ling Cao were all stunned for a moment, what is Zhang Yu doing here, this Sun Ce is not his subordinate.

Yu Ban asked suspiciously: "Lord, will this Sun Ce listen to us?" ”

"Zhou Yu is a smart person, he knows my purpose, and he will definitely do it." Zhang Yu said: "Sun Ce of the three parties is the weakest, let him occupy other places, and these places belong to him, but the condition is to help us conquer this Hefei City." No one in Hefei City wants to get involved with them. ”

"Zhou Yu is a smart person, he knows that he can't get it, and if he wants to get more, he can only compromise."

Everyone was not suspicious, Zhang Yu said that it was okay.

In fact, Zhou Yu and they did not lose, all the way to the north, it was not difficult to attack the city.

The soldiers and horses in these cities were obviously used by Yuan Shu to delay time, and the generals and soldiers in them had no fighting spirit.

How could their group of miscellaneous soldiers who had no fighting spirit be Sun Ce's opponents, killing all the way, and the slowest city would block him for half a day.

Most of the castles can be solved in an hour or two.

Zhang Yu also sent troops, and the army slowly pressed towards Hefei City.
