Chapter 128: It is difficult to make a fortune

Yuan Zhan had already had the intention of killing Zhang Yu, but he didn't have the strength or chance before.

When Huangfu Song sent him to build a big camp for Zhang Yu and them, he did something in the big camp.

At the beginning, Yuan Zhan didn't expect that the Yellow Turban would come to attack.

When the Yellow Turban attacked him, in order to pass on the crisis, he thought of setting Zhang Yu's camp on fire.

When the Yellow Turban saw that Zhang Yu's military camp was on fire, he would naturally divide his troops to attack, and he would take the opportunity to get out.

The plan went very well, he sent his henchmen to set it on fire, and the news would not get out.

His crisis was resolved, and Zhang Yu suffered heavy losses, which was what he wanted to see the most.

In tonight's battle, the Yellow Turbans broke through two large camps, and also attacked a Han army that came out of the camp to rescue.

It can be said that it is a big victory.

It's just that Ma Yuanyi didn't get happy at all, he sent more than 20,000 Yellow Turban elites to attack Zhang Yu, and 10,000 were killed in the battle, and the news he got was that Zhang Yu and half of their troops had not been eliminated.

Although the losses would have been so great, it was entirely due to the fact that they were later pursued by cavalry.

The battle lasted until midnight, and the Yellow Turbans withdrew.

In this battle, the official army, excluding Zhang Yu, lost 18,000 people, while the Yellow Turban lost nearly 30,000 people.

Although the Yellow Turbans lost a lot, it was clearly the Yellow Turbans who won this battle.

If it hadn't been severely damaged by Zhang Yu's cavalry once, the Yellow Turbans would not have suffered more than 20,000 casualties tonight, which can be described as a great victory.

And Zhang Yu's loss is not small.

"My lord, we have lost more than 1,800 soldiers." After going back, Ling Cao reported.

"!" Zhang Yu slapped the table angrily and said, "It's all because that fire is too strange, otherwise we wouldn't have lost so much." ”

"Lord, the fire is really strange, when we sent people back to check, many traces were deliberately destroyed, but the Yellow Turban did not continue to attack after we retreated, so this fire is obviously man-made." Ling Cao said.

Needless to say, Zhang Yu also understood that at that time, the only people who set fire to that place could be the people in Yuan Zhan's military camp.

The large camps of the two sides were not far away, and they came from behind to set fires, and at that time, Zhang Yu's army was already concentrated in front against the Yellow Turbans, so no one would find out at all.

"My lord, we will kill them to take revenge and destroy them all." Dian Wei was angry when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to lead his troops to kill him immediately.

Zhang Yu's face was gloomy, at that time, he also wanted to send troops to help Yuan Zhan fight off the Yellow Turban, but he didn't expect him to attack him.

The more Zhang Yu thought about it, the more angry he became, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no real evidence, he would have killed him directly.

Without real evidence, Huangfu Song will definitely intervene.

"Little Brother Zhang, it's about the overall situation, we can't move lightly, otherwise we will have to bear the guilt of defeat at that time." Huang Zhong persuaded as an old man.

Zhang Yu also understands that the other party's hands and feet are clean, and if there is no evidence, if he retaliates, the charges will fall on him at that time.

That night, Zhang Yu's camp caught fire, and the next day almost all the senior generals of the Han army knew about it.

Many people also speculated that Yuan Zhan or his subordinates did it.

But it was clear to the heart that no one spoke of it again.

The next day, Huangfu Song sent someone to come over to offer condolences.

Zhang Yu said directly to the man: "Go back and reply to General Huangfu, more than half of our army has suffered casualties, and there are still a large number of wounded, and our army has retreated thirty miles to rest." ”

Huangfu Song was also very helpless when he received the news that Zhang Yu was going to retire.

Zhang Yu really retreated thirty miles and retreated directly to the logistics base built by Xi Zhicai.

Zhang Yu suppressed the matter first and looked for an opportunity to take revenge.

Qiu Zhang Yu must be avenged, if it weren't for Zhang Yu's strong combat power, they might have been destroyed that night.

"Zhicai, it's difficult for you to run the base in such a short time." Zhang Yu called Xi Zhicai and said.

Xi Zhicai smiled modestly and said: "That's also a good foundation given by the lord, if you want money to give money, you want people to give people, and if you don't do it well, you will be ashamed of the lord." ”

Zhang Yu nodded, this is indeed the case.

Coming to this logistics base, Zhang Yu was still quite happy, there were blacksmiths striking iron day and night, and there were a large number of people.

Huge but not messy.

Many warehouses are full of supplies.

It can be seen that many people used medicinal herbs or other collected materials in exchange for food or money.

And Zhang Yu also found that Xi Zhicai had a very good complexion, his face was full of light, and he was fatter.

"It seems that the system's Soul Rejuvenation Pill is really powerful, it is worthy of being a thing that costs 300,000 points, and the effect is good, so Huang Xu must be saved." Zhang Yu thought secretly.

"Lord, we have collected a large number of medicinal materials, and these medicinal materials have been secretly sent to the Yellow Turban in exchange for a large amount of money, but we have also created a large number of weapons, how to deal with these weapons?"

Xi Zhi knew that Zhang Yu would not sell weapons to the Yellow Turban for the time being.

"You can't use the weapon yourself, and you can't sell it to the Yellow Turban, but you can sell it to the Han Army. Now that the battle has been escalating, the consumption of the Han army is also huge, not to mention anything else, the arrows have been exhausted, and the rest of the weapons can't keep up, so you can sell weapons to them. ”

Zhang Yu's purpose is not that it can't be achieved, but it can be easily achieved, and the next day, Zhang Yu asked people to pretend to be a businessman to find Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song immediately agreed to purchase weapons.

The people sent by Zhang Yu raised an arrow by one copper coin, turning the original three copper coins into four copper coins.

The battle situation was not optimistic, and the troops in Huangfu Song's hands were greatly reduced, so he had to buy them.

Don't look at the fact that an arrow only costs four copper plates, but the demand is very large, and Huangfu Song purchased 100,000 arrows at one time.

Other weapons and equipment, Huangfu Song, also procured some.

Zhang Yu made a fortune in a national disaster.

He also learned from Xi Zhicai that he also made a lot of money from trading with the Yellow Turban.

Yellow scarves swept all over the place, some of them were rich, and they were also generous in their dealings.

They needed a lot of medicines, and the prices were very high, so Xi Zhicai only used a part of the money to let the people collect them for him.

"Weapons can't be sold to Yellow Turbans, but shields can. A good shield can't be sold, and I believe that the yellow turban is still very willing to buy it when it comes to making a batch of wooden shields. Zhang Yu thought happily in his heart.

Sell arrows to the Han army, sell them to the Yellow Turban Wooden Shield, and let them both fight for consumption.

Zhang Yu said that he would do it, and while asking people to contact the yellow scarf, he asked Xi Zhicai to start manufacturing.

Making a wooden shield is very simple and very fast.

After doing this, it was already a few days later, and Zhang Yu was most concerned about his own strength.

"Lord, the recruits have been trained and can be added to our main battle legion." When Ling Cao arrived here, he took over the responsibility of training the troops and began to train the troops.

"Okay, replenish the army to 10,000 people, I want to see who can consume whom." Zhang Yu had strong logistical support, and after the training of a group of recruits, he organized a team of 3,000 recruits to start training.

"Equip the army, let's kill it." After a few days of recovery, Zhang Yu had another 10,000 army in his hands, intending to kill it again.
