Chapter 1201: Preparation of Both Sides

The Cabinet began to mobilize grain, grass and other resources.

Mobilize soldiers and horses, if Zhang Yu can perform his duties normally, then only he can mobilize the army, unless Zhang Yu has an accident, the power to transfer soldiers and horses will be handed over to the cabinet.

Now Zhang Yu is still normal, so everything is done by Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu transferred Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Zhang Liao to Bingzhou and began to prepare.

And Gao Shun, Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Yu Ban and others arrived in Chang'an and prepared to attack in two directions.

Gao Shun was originally in Chang'an, and he was transferred from Luoyang to Chang'an after the Luoyang War.

Today, Chang'an is already a majestic city.

Zhang Yu just mobilized troops and horses, strengthened the blockade, and was not in a hurry to start a war.

To go to war, it is still necessary to wait.

Zhang Yu is still in Jiangnan, he inspected here to see the development situation here.

Building roads is already a long-term matter for them, and once they have money, they have to build roads.

"If cement can be cheaper, I must repair him for tens of thousands of miles."

After some investigation, Zhang Yu still found that after this road is repaired, it must be maintained frequently, and the road compacted with mud is still very expensive after wind and rain.

Especially after being crushed by a heavy cart, it is very easy to break.

Now the cement industry is being cultivated, and many buildings in the capital are already built with cement.

It will take a while to develop, not yet, but one day, cement will become cheaper.

The entire land of China is still in full swing of construction, and various roads are being built.

In the past few months, many more projects have been completed and stopped.

Zhang Yu had a large sum of money in his hand, but this money was used to fight.

In the few months that Zhang Yu was out of Beijing, a large amount of gold and silver was also sent from overseas, which made Zhang Yu rich again.

The transfer of grain and grass is proceeding one after another.

This Ma Teng has already sensed the crisis.

Before, it was judged that Zhang Yu was going to have a big incident, but who knew that a year later, the rebellion did not, but became more and more stable.

Zhang Yu's side stabilized, and then began to prepare for war.

Recently, Ma Teng and Ma Chao have not had a good time.

Because their preparation is not yet complete.

"This Zhang Yu is not in rebellion, how dare he be distracted from the war." Ma Teng was very irritable, and recently Zhang Yu mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to come over, which made him nervous all of a sudden.

Ma Teng's staff said: "My lord, maybe we are building weapons here, and with the arrival of more than 50,000 people from the Roman Empire, this must be impossible to hide. ”

Ma Teng also thought that it was their actions that stimulated Zhang Yu, it was good, why was there going to be a war.

Ma Chao said: "Father, the people of the Roman Empire have lived here for a few months, and only more than a thousand people are sick, I think they can send a large army over." ”

Ma Teng shook his head and said, "The weapons and armor we have built now are only enough for more than 20,000 people, and there is no time to create more. ”

"Then let them bring it over, it's a big deal to consume more on the road."

One of the staff members stood up and said, "No, the points we have arranged along the road can't bear too much, so we can only let them come in batches." ”

"Father, what about Zhang Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops? We now have more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, blocking them for a year and a half, and when the time comes, when the army from the west comes, we can turn defeat into victory, and Liu Bei of Shuchuan can also attack, enough to hold him back. Ma Chao said.

Ma Chao is still very confident in himself.

Ma Teng hesitated, he didn't expect that before they were ready, Zhang Yu would make the first move.

Another staff member stood up and said, "Lord, we are in-laws with Zhang Yu, so it is better to send an envoy and find a way to delay it for a while." ”

Ma Teng didn't want to get into trouble at this time, and in the face of Zhang Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops, he was not sure.

"Okay, then let people go out, try to delay, as long as it drags on for a few months, we will step up our preparations, and we will definitely be able to do it."

Mainly, the soldiers of the Roman Empire gave them great confidence.

A tall man is also very strong.

This is very advantageous, the advantage is obvious, although there are only more than 50,000 troops, but there are strong armor, they are a natural iron army.

There are more troops coming, as long as there are 300,000, Ma Teng is absolutely confident that he can easily sweep Zhang Yu's million army.

Zhang Yu's side has been transporting supplies for several months, all kinds of materials are available, and even liquor has been transported a lot.

At the same time, the system of accompanying military doctors was also established, and Zhang Yu directly asked the students of medical school who had only studied for more than a year to set off with the army.

They also have to experience the war, although they are not allowed to go to the battlefield, but they also have to feel the tragedy of the battlefield.

Ma Teng's side also thought that Zhang Yu had discovered their conspiracy, so he sent troops at this time.

Ma Teng sent people to reconcile with Zhang Yu, and on the other hand, he stepped up his preparations.

After Zhang Yu finished his inspection, he began to go west along the Yangtze River, passing through Jingzhou, and then entering Luoyang and Chang'an.

In this way, it will take two months to arrive in a big circle, but Zhang Yu is not in a hurry, because the preparation is not completely completed yet.

The war has not yet been fought, but public opinion has to go first.

Zhang Yu has leaked the news of Ma Teng's collusion with foreign races.

"This Ma Teng is so bad, he dares to collude with other races."

"I heard that those aliens eat human flesh raw, and their eyes are all blue."

"Ma Teng has found a group of wild people, this is to poison our Huaxia."

"Support Your Majesty, you must defeat Ma Teng."

"Ma Teng father and son, don't die well."

The people, the people are scolded, and Western Rome is even more demonized.

They drank blood and ate human flesh raw.

Ma Teng actually colluded with such a person.

Ma Teng is simply not a person, and Zhang Yu still treats them preferentially.

The people, there was a burst of condemnation, and some people knew that Zhang Yu had no money, so they actually wanted to launch a donation activity.

Zhang Yu refused to donate money from the people, and the people finally became rich, and they couldn't let them be poor anymore.

Zhang Yu just asked the government to buy more grain at cost price and send it over.

And some businessmen want to raise donations, as long as there are no other conditions, then Zhang Yu will accept them.

Don't let the businessman's money go for nothing, anyway, he is very short of money now.

The people's hearts are on Zhang Yu's side, and Zhang Yu's reputation is now rising rapidly.

With the support of the people, Zhang Yu mobilized all the soldiers and horses in the east, and arranged several defense lines at the same time.

Millions of soldiers and horses will definitely win this just war.

Zhang Yu also stockpiled a large number of ordnance along the way, once the front really failed, then Zhang Yu could only pour the strength of the whole country to fight.

Of course, Zhang Yu is confident that he will win this battle.

Half a month later, Zhang Yu arrived in Jingzhou.

At this time, Jingzhou was still very prosperous.

The Yangtze River has always been very busy, with frequent exchanges between east and west.

At the same time, some of the specialties here will be sold to the east, and some can even be sold overseas.

Jingzhou is very advantageous, at this time, Jingzhou also arranged 200,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Yu transferred another 100,000 to block Liu Bei, and Liu Bei must not be allowed to interfere.
