This scene was planned by Zhang Yu and Xu You.

The next day, Xu You left Jixian County and announced that he had severed his relationship with Zhang Yu.

Xu You left angrily, of course, the gold and silver coins can't be brought back like this, otherwise it will make people suspicious, Zhang Yu naturally has a way to give these belongings to Xu You.

This scene is over, and the content is naturally spread through various channels, and it can also confirm each other, so Yuan Shao can't believe it.

Xu You "went back in disgrace", Guo Tu and the judge were secretly happy.

Zhang Yu also let out a bunch of cruel words, and then announced that he would return to Jiangdong the next day.

It is true to go back to Jiangdong, there are a lot of things in Jiangdong, and Zhang Yu must go back as soon as possible to deal with the affairs of Sun Ce and Yuan Shu.

It's just that this time, except for the 50,000 personal guards regiment of Dian Wei who went back, the other armies did not dare to use it.

When Yuan Shao got the news, his face was very gloomy.

But a day ago, there was new news in Jizhou.

"Did you hear that Yuan Gong did not redeem more than 100,000 prisoners, and now these prisoners are going to build a city for Zhang Yu."

"Ah, how many people will die when building a city, and whether my baby can come back."

"Gong Yuan has money, why don't you redeem it."

"There is a little more money, but Yuan Gong has money."

"It is said that Zhang Yu is brutal, these people fall into the hands of Zhang Yu, if they are not redeemed, they will be tossed to death by Zhang Yu."

All kinds of rumors were circulating in Jizhou a day earlier, and the next day, Yuan Shao got these messages at the same time as what happened in Jixian County.

Yuan Shao was furious, obviously Zhang Yu's asking price was too high, and he wanted to redeem it, but he couldn't let Zhang Yu lead the way.

What made Yuan Shao even more angry was that Zhang Yu really closed the window for negotiation with Yuan Shao.

Do you really want to make an announcement and use the announcement to bargain with Zhang Yu?

Ordinary people don't understand so many truths, they only know that Yuan Shao will not redeem their children, husbands and fathers.

These soldiers all have families, and these people will hate Yuan Shao to death.

Moreover, if this matter continues, it will shake the morale of the military.

Yuan Shao was very passive.

Saying that he has no money, he can only delay it, he always has to expand the army, he always has to do other things, he has money to do other things, and there is no money to redeem the soldiers, what will all walks of life think when the time comes.

All kinds of rumors are fermenting.

At first, it was still a rumor, but within a few days, the news really came back that Zhang Yu asked them to work.

It's true to work, after all, there are more than 100,000 people, and Zhang Yu can't keep them all the time.

So what are they going to do?

More than 100,000 people have been leveling the land, and the place where the land has been leveled is in today's Beiping, a place not far from Jixian County.

Zhang Yu really planned to build a city here, and what he built was the capital of the later generations.

It's in a very good location, it's an ideal place.

Zhang Yu wants to build such a city, which may or may not be the capital in the future.

The news that Zhang Yu was going to build a city spread, and the message was even more miserable.

In Jizhou and Qingzhou, many soldiers' families have quit, what if their relatives really die on the construction site.

In addition, Yuan Shao's military spirit is also a little unstable, you know, ransom the prisoners, these soldiers are the most concerned, in case they encounter the same thing in the future.

Zhang Yu's intelligence agency has been making waves, so Yuan Shao is very passive.

Yuan Shao sent someone to clarify the matter and explain Zhang Yu's conspiracy.

While some people understand, most people still don't.

Zhang Yu didn't let go, and after a few days of trouble, Yuan Shao came up with various ways.

Soon, Zhang Yu's side began to increase prices.

The first time it only rose by 1 million, the second time it rose by 3 million, and after a few days the total price increased to 70 million.

Yuan Shao was getting more and more anxious and came up with various methods, but to no avail.

Yuan Shao was in a hurry, so he needed a solution.

Everyone had no choice, so this time Yuan Shao planned to send Guo Tu and Fu Zhi to go, because Xu You didn't get things done.

But things didn't go well, Guo Tu and Fu Zhi were stopped at the border, and they were rushed back, they wanted people to inform Zhang Yu several times, and even sent people to sneak in, but nothing worked.

At this time, Yuan Shao was even more anxious, he couldn't negotiate, and the price kept rising.

In particular, there were daily rumors for several days that a large number of people were dying of exhaustion on the construction site, or were beaten to death.

And they have names and surnames, and many even have home addresses, which is very much the same thing.

In fact, these are real people, all working on the construction site, but their lives are okay.

I get up every morning to work, rest for an hour at noon, and eat enough for three meals.

It's been a pretty good day.

The soldiers who manage them are also kind, as long as they don't make trouble and are not lazy, occasionally these soldiers will help them.

It was only in order to stop the panic that Youzhou sent people to rumor that many people were dying of exhaustion on the construction site.

Not really.

None of the people who passed out died, and they worked the construction site.

But the news of hundreds of deaths every day still makes the whole Jizhou and Qingzhou not calm.

This kind of turmoil, coupled with the use of people with intentions, naturally made it difficult for Yuan Shao to feel at ease.

There is no way, there is no negotiation channel, Yuan Shao seems to have to compromise.

But at this time, the price had risen to 70 million yuan, and Yuan Shao was really unbearable.

Guo Tu and Fu Zhu returned in vain, and his subordinates couldn't do anything.

At this time, Xu You stood up again.

"Alas, my lord, my subordinates can still talk to Zhang Yu, but I had a stiff fight with Zhang Yu last time, even if I see Zhang Yu this time, I'm afraid the negotiation will not be so smooth." Xu Yu said.

Yuan Shao seemed to have caught a little light, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, as long as you can talk, you can talk about as much as you want, the bottom line is 60 million, you can grasp it yourself, and deal with this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch." ”

Yuan Shao's expansion of the army required a large purchase of weapons and equipment, and this amount of money was not tens of millions.

At that time, Yuan Shao has the money to buy weapons and equipment, but he has no money to ransom people, so it will be difficult to do it at that time.

Therefore, Yuan Shao can only solve it as soon as possible, otherwise all work cannot be carried out.

Xu Yu was embarrassed to accept the order, but in fact, his heart blossomed.

The bottom line of 60 million, if you can talk about 55 million, it is not possible to make Yuan Shao happy, and at the same time fight for an extra 5 million for Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu is also very happy.

In this way, Xu You is left and right, holding the benefits of Zhang Yu over there, and being rewarded by Yuan Shao here.

Xu You felt that he was too smart and powerful.

Xu Yu came out, of course he could get things done.

However, the process is also quite tortuous.

When Xu You went to Jixian again, Zhang Yu had already left, and then he could only argue with Gu Yong.

has been talking about it for three days and three nights, and all kinds of news have come out in the three days, and Xu You has fought with Gu Yong for hundreds of rounds, and his mouth has been worn out.

The last little bit of talk, a million, hundreds of thousands, and finally tens of thousands of bargains.

Three days later, the two sides reached an agreement to trade for 55 million.

In the past three days, although the news was spread like this, Xu You handed over the bottom as soon as he came, and in the past three days, the two drank tea and chatted a few times, Gu Yong went to deal with various government affairs, and Xu You was idle reading books and drinking tea.
