Chapter 660: Send Money
Yuan Shu wants to come forward to borrow money in person, or he still has to borrow a large amount of money.
After making up his mind, Yuan Shu ordered Yang Hong to negotiate with Zhang Yu.
Yuan Shu urgently collected money here, and Yang Hong went out of Shouchun to negotiate with Zhang Yu.
What made Yuan Shu feel a little relieved was that Ji Ling had returned, and he had brought 100,000 elite soldiers over.
These 100,000 troops were the earliest troops of Yuan Shucheng's army, and they were fully armed and equipped.
Ji Ling's arrival restored some confidence to Yuan Shu, and then Ji Ling vigorously rectified the soldiers and horses in Shouchun City, and solved many problems found outside before one by one.
While Ji Ling was reorganizing the soldiers and horses, he sent troops to support Cai and Yingshang, and the two cities each sent 50,000 soldiers and horses.
These two cities are the two cities that protect Shouchun City, which have been built well before, and the city defense is very good, so after Cao Cao's five-day onslaught, it has not been able to break through.
The two cities are in crisis, and if the two cities are breached, then Shouchun City will no longer have a barrier.
Cao Cao was also in a hurry, attacking day and night, regardless of the cost.
After five days of attacking, although the two cities were not defeated, they were also in danger, and more than half of the tens of thousands of defenders inside were killed or wounded.
However, it was about to break through two cities, and a reinforcement army came.
"Lord, that's fine, these two cities can't be compared with Shouchun City, if this 100,000 reinforcements are placed in Shouchun City, we may not have an effect if we attack for ten days and half a month." Cheng Yu said.
From this point of view, it is a good thing, but Cheng Yu thought of something.
"However, why are there still reinforcements sent in Shouchun City at this time, is there any change in other directions?"
Cao Cao's brows were tightly locked, and he couldn't figure out what to do.
In today's situation, in fact, Cao Cao is not much in danger.
Although there are 300,000 Yuan troops in the north of Yanzhou, Cao Cao also left more than 100,000 troops to Cao Hong.
Therefore, Cao Cao only had Yuan Shao as an enemy, and there was no big problem.
Now the question is, what to do with Yuan Shu?
If you go back, you will fall short, and there will be no benefit.
It became his responsibility to eliminate Yuan Shu, because the emperor was in his hands, and he could not allow a second emperor to appear.
Therefore, Cao Cao has a choice.
"The intensity of the attack remains the same, send someone to find out, what Zhang Yu is doing." Cao Cao said.
Now, there are wars going on everywhere, and Zhang Yu is on the diagonal with Cao Cao, the distance is far away, and the news has a certain lag.
However, Cao Cao had a feeling that the problem must be Zhang Yu.
Of course, the problem appeared with Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu stopped the attack, and Ji Ling was able to withdraw some of the soldiers and horses.
Zhang Yu's actions on his side affected Sun Ce, and Sun Ce also stopped attacking, so that Yuan Shu's side could send troops and horses.
This series of actions caused most of the pressure to be borne by Cao Cao.
If Zhang Yu and Yuan Shu secretly reconciled, then Cao Cao would be under more pressure, and Cao Cao, who had many choices, fell into passivity.
Under Cao Cao's onslaught, Cai and Yingshang were in the two cities, and Yang Hong and Zhou Yu secretly went to Chao County.
They couldn't find Zhang Yu, because they all knew that Zhang Yu was fighting, bringing cavalry, and moving around, so they could only come to Guo Jia.
Yang Hong knew that Guo Jia had decision-making power, while Zhou Yu was more here to listen to the news.
Guo Jia is very idle in Chao County, collecting information from all parties every day, summarizing the information, and he doesn't have to take care of the rest.
The city defense and training have Gao Shun and Ling Cao, and they are very relieved.
Yang Hong's arrival made Guo Jia very happy.
"Lord Yang, this beacon is raging, how did you run out of a civil official." Guo Jia greeted Yang Hong at the city gate and said.
The corners of Yang Hong's mouth tugged at the words and held back the words, originally he wanted to go back to Guo Jia, this matter is not obvious, what is he doing here, Guo Jia will not know.
However, Yang Hong endured it, and then waited for a while and said, "Let's talk about something, I believe Master Guo also understands it in his heart." ”
"Haha..."Guo Jia laughed, and then led the way ahead.
Not long after Yang Hong dared to arrive, Zhou Yu came, and Guo Jia simply took Yang Hong to greet him.
After Guo Jia introduced each other, the expressions of the two were not very good.
"Lord Guo, this is a traitor, why did he come here, Lord Zhang is the leader of the alliance to defeat Yuan Shu." Zhou Yu asked.
Guo Jia said lightly: "Maybe Yuan Shu wants to surrender." ”
Zhou Yu held back his words, knowing that it was useless to question Guo Jia, he had no salvation at all, even if there was evidence, he had to rely on strength to speak in the end.
Guo Jia wanted to invite the two of them, but they were both refused.
The atmosphere was quite awkward, but they couldn't help it.
In the evening, Yang Hong and Zhou Yu both proposed to talk to Guo Jia alone.
Guo Jia agreed and met Yang Hong first.
"Guo Junshi, let's say it bluntly, His Majesty sent me here this time to reconcile with Master Zhang, as long as Lord Zhang stops attacking, His Majesty is willing to give enough sincerity." Yang Hong said.
On the issue of title, Guo Jia didn't bother with Yang Hong.
"Okay, how much money can you give, in addition to Chao County, we also want several cities north of Chao County." Guo Jia said.
was so refreshing, but Yang Hong didn't expect it.
"Fifty million dollars, you must not attack." Yang Hong opened his mouth and said.
This time Zhang Yu was so big, Yuan Shu was so dangerous, and Yang Hong also knew that if there was less money, he would not be able to satisfy Zhang Yu's appetite.
"60 million, after the money arrives, immediately send 100,000 troops across the river to Jiangdong." Guo Jia said again.
"Okay, it's decided that the money will come to us and leave, the credibility of our head of the family is guaranteed, and it will take a long time in the future, and we will continue to cooperate." Guo Jia said.
Yang Hong was a little puzzled, and said tentatively: "What is the matter with this Sun Ce's people?" ”
"I don't know, I haven't talked about it, it doesn't matter, they didn't stop attacking too, and they probably came to us to buy weapons and equipment, as well as food and grass or something." Guo Jia said nonchalantly.
Unable to find out anything, Yang Hong simply asked: "It's not my villain, I really didn't expect Master Zhang to cooperate with me before I came." ”
"It's very simple, to destroy Yuan Shu, it must be under the leadership of my lord, however, Cao Cao was named the commander-in-chief of the rebellion, and if he wants to snatch the credit, then let him ask for it himself, my lord will not help him, making money and leaving talents is my lord's style." Guo Jia explained.
Yang Hong believed it, because Guo Jia was telling the truth.
Yang Hong was also helpless, weak and undiplomatic, Guo Jia said Yuan Shu in front of him, as if Yuan Shu could not be destroyed, just between their thoughts.
This Yuan extinguishing technique can still let it come and go, depending on whether the mood wants to be extinguished.
After Yang Hong finished talking, he didn't have the heart to stay.
He is sure that as long as the situation can be controlled, as long as Shouchun is not broken by Cao Cao, then Zhang Yu will accept it when he sees it.
Yang Hong left, and Guo Jia asked people to invite Zhou Yu.
