Chapter 573: Cutting off the grain road
After making a big order, Zhang Yu retreated.
When Zhang Yu arrived at the edge of the Yangtze River, Sun Ce's people came up and asked him to cooperate again.
"Cooperation? Okay, you go back and ask Sun Ce immediately to see if he is short of grain and grass, I have a batch of grain and grass to sell. Zhang Yu said.
The other party was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't make a decision, so he could only go back and report.
Zhang Yu parked the fleet on the Yangtze River.
Half a day later, Zhou Yu personally came with a team, and at this time, the entire range of Poyang Lake was controlled by them.
"Gongjin, I haven't seen you for a long time, congratulations on taking Poyang Lake, this Poyang Lake is a good place." Zhang Yu said.
In the Lianghu area, Zhang Yu once vigorously developed and cultivated an unknown number of acres of fertile land with a large number of cultivated cattle.
Each year, these fertile fields produce enough food to feed a state's population.
Moreover, there are still many areas in the two lakes that have not been cultivated.
"Master Zhang, you really can't guess." Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly and said.
Sun Ce went to Zhang Yu several times, but received no response.
This time, Zhou Yu finally got in touch with Zhang Yu.
The two of them sat on the boat, but the boat was full of grain and grass, and they could only squeeze out a little space to put tables and chairs.
"The two lakes are ripe, and the world is full. Congratulations again on taking control of the Two Lakes region. Zhang Yu said again.
The two lakes are ripe, the world is full, there is no such saying at present, but after development, there is full potential.
Zhou Yu sat opposite Zhang Yu, and then said: "If Master Zhang is willing to cooperate, you and I may have defeated Yuan Shu at this time, and a large piece of land will be at your fingertips." ”
"Don't talk about this, sometimes I can help, but it's impossible to help you destroy Yuan Shu." Zhang Yu didn't discuss it with Zhou Yu directly.
Zhou Yu really didn't understand, now that they had the advantage, they could completely defeat Yuan Shu.
But Zhang Yu just refused to cooperate.
Although this Yuan Shu is in a weak position at this time, he still has a large piece of territory and a million army, in this case, if he wants to defeat Yuan Shu, it is not possible to do it in a few months or even a year or two.
How could Zhang Yu go on with them for a long time.
However, Zhang Yu is happy to create a situation where the two of them will face off for a long time and consume each other.
"Let's discuss this grain and grass, which can be enough for you for at least ten days, and if you need it, we will sell it to you." Zhang Yu said.
Of course, Zhou Yu would not refuse, they had to transport grain and grass from Changsha, the distance was far away, and most of the transportation here was consumed.
Zhang Yu directly helped them transport it.
In the end, an agreement was reached, and Zhang Yu sold it directly to them, but the price was indeed three times.
Three times the price, tens of millions of dollars, Zhou Yu still agreed.
The grain and grass team is too important for an army, Zhang Yu transported the grain and grass here, plus the freight cost is at least twice the price, and Zhang Yu's price of three times is not high.
Zhang Yu began to order the soldiers to unload, this generation has been controlled by Sun Ce, but he is very relieved.
During the unloading, Zhou Yu lobbied Zhang Yu again.
"Master Zhang, we cooperate, there are only benefits, no harm."
Zhang Yu thought for a long time and said: "It's not impossible to cooperate, it's just that I really don't attach much importance to the territory." ”
Zhou Yu was very happy to see Zhang Yu's cooperation, so he asked: "What does Master Zhang want, if we take it, we will definitely be satisfied." ”
What can Sun Ce give him? What Zhang Yu needs, Sun Ce also needs.
Zhang Yu said: "It is not so easy for you to completely control Poyang Lake, you must first capture Anhui County, I can help you capture Anhui County, after the capture, everything in Anhui County is mine, and you can only get an empty city." ”
"Could it be that there are any treasures in this Anhui County that are remembered by Zhang Yu?" Zhou Yu was very strange.
However, Sun Ce was even willing to take out the jade seal of the country, and there was no treasure that could not be given up.
Zhou Yu just wanted to say yes, but Zhang Yu stopped it again, and then said: "Helping you doesn't mean that I help you attack the city, I can lead an army of 100,000 to cut off Yuan Shu's grain and grass and force him to retreat, as for the rest, you have to do it yourself." ”
Zhou Yu calculated, at present, with the army in Anhui County, Yuan Shu is about 2.78 million at most, although they are all elite soldiers, but Yuan Shu's elite soldiers are not the same concept as their elite soldiers, and there is a relatively large gap.
And Zhou Yu and they have an army of about 150,000, of which 100,000 are elite soldiers and 50,000 are troops who have just been recruited.
Calculated in this way, plus Zhang Yu's 100,000 troops, the advantage is very great, Anhui County is not big, and it is no problem to capture Anhui County.
"Okay, then I'll promise to come down for Bo Fu."
Zhou Yu has this power, and he can agree to this condition.
The two sides reached an agreement, although it was only a verbal agreement, but Zhang Yu was not afraid of Zhang Yu's remorse.
A few hours later, the grain was unloaded, and Zhang Yu left.
Two days later, Zhang Yu and Gao Shun converged.
"Let's go, our 100,000 army will go directly to block Yuan Shu's grain road." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu and the others left to block Yuan Shu's grain route, but Sun Ce really surrounded Anhui County.
You must know that the troops in Anhui County are twice as many as Sun Ce's.
In such a situation, Sun Ce dared to surround them.
But Sun Ce really surrounded them.
Zhang Yu was simpler, walked to the northwest of Anhui County for two days, and then set up a camp on the road.
"Haha, I drove this road, I want to cross this road and leave it to buy road money." Zhang Yu occupied the avenue and directly started the work of the bandits.
Zhang Yu directly cut off the road, and Yuan Shu's grain and grass could not be transported.
Before the war, Yuan Shu hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Anhui County.
However, Anhui County is not big, how much grain and grass can be stored, and now hundreds of thousands of troops are here, and they can only last for more than a month at most.
"Send someone to tell Yuan Shu that I have stationed troops here and cut off his grain route." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu is so arrogant, he is not afraid of Yuan Shu at all.
When Yuan Shu received the news, he was shocked and angry.
"Sun Ce and Zhang Yu are too arrogant, I still have 300,000 troops, and 300,000 troops in my hands." Yuan Shu scolded.
This pinch of soft persimmons is understandable, but Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses add up to more than the two of them, and Yuan Shu is not a soft persimmon.
Yuan Shu's strength was stronger than both of them.
But now it is Yuan Shu who is being bullied.
In this way, Yuan Shu was not angry and scolded.
Yuan Shu's retreat was just a "strategic retreat", afraid of Zhang Yu's sneak attack and the robbery of food.
"What are we going to do, you say?" Yuan Shu asked after getting angry.
Several staff members began to come up with ideas, but Yuan Shu relied on Yang Hong the most.
Yang Hong sighed and said: "Lord, this time we sent troops to attack us, Zhang Yu sent 300,000 soldiers and horses, and now 100,000 people are surrounding Hefei City, so that we are in danger of being cut off from the back road, and now Zhang Yu has cut off our grain route, and the situation is not good." ”
