Chapter 466: Intimidating Tao Qian
Zhang Yu and the others went out of the city, and a fire broke out in the city.
However, Zhang Yu was naturally measured and did not harm ordinary people.
The fire did not kill a single person, but the impact was significant.
Because, this fire burned down the state governor's house.
The state governor of a state is like the capital of a country.
Zhang Yu stopped after they left the city.
Then Zhang Yu asked people to come forward and shout.
"Our lord said that burning the state pastoral mansion can only be regarded as interest. Tao Qian did not believe in his words, and when our lord returned, he raised a large army to the north to crusade against Tao Qian, and then divided Xuzhou with Cao Cao equally. The soldier shouted.
After the soldiers finished, Zhang Yu left with the soldiers and horses.
Naturally, someone in the city informed Tao Qian of the news.
However, Tao Qian had already fainted from crying, and was resting in a courtyard in the city at this time.
Liu Bei also had a gloomy face, Zhang Yu had already told him that he was going to burn down the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, and he started to only be Zhang Yu to hide people's eyes.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu really led the troops to burn down the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.
Zhang Yu went back, the trip was not long, and it was more than three months.
He came with 30,000 soldiers and horses when he went south, and returned with nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses.
The most important thing is to train the soldiers, to train a new recruit from the beginning into an elite soldier who has gone through several major battles.
And Zhang Yu also made a lot of money.
The previous military expenses plus the 10 million yuan for helping to denounce Cao Cao, Zhang Yu also made a lot of money.
Returning with a full load, this Tao Qian still owes him a lot of money.
On the way back, Zhang Yu sent people to publicize it everywhere and listed the bill.
threatened that Tao Qian would not be trustworthy and would not give money, and then threaten Tao Qian, wanting to invite Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou together and divide Xuzhou equally.
The change in Xuzhou can be said to shock the world.
Cao Cao sighed again and again, just a little bit, he could break through Xuzhou, and in the end, because of the lack of food and grass, plus Zhang Yu was there, Cao Cao failed to break through Xuzhou.
Cao Cao assessed that if he joined forces with Zhang Yu, the two could easily destroy Xuzhou.
Cao Cao called Cheng Yu and other strategists, and then asked, "How likely is it that you will join forces with Zhang Yu to destroy Xuzhou?" ”
Cheng Yu silently calculated and said: "Zhang Yu has never been profitable, and he will definitely do something beneficial." But last time, it was obvious that if the two sides cooperated, we could take Xuzhou, but Zhang Yu refused to cooperate with us. ”
Cheng Yu stroked his beard, and then continued: "It can be seen that Zhang Yu is rational, and he can't eat Xuzhou at present, so he won't cooperate with us." Threatening to cooperate with us to take Xuzhou is nothing more than trying to use us. ”
Cheng Yu's analysis dispelled Cao Cao's idea of cooperating with Zhang Yu.
Obviously, Zhang Yu was just using Cao Cao to intimidate Tao Qian.
But Cao Cao couldn't say it explicitly, and he couldn't claim that he wouldn't attack Xuzhou.
Cao Cao had long regarded Xuzhou as his own territory, otherwise he would not have forcibly attacked Xuzhou when there was a shortage of grain and grass.
Tao Qian received Zhang Yu's news and was angry and anxious.
Tao Qian barely supported his weak body, and then called his staff.
"Xuzhou is in danger, Zhang Yu threatened to destroy my Xuzhou, what is the best plan for you." Tao Qian said.
There was silence for a while, this thing is not easy to do.
Everyone really didn't dare to say more, so they were afraid of offending Zhang Yu.
Offending Zhang Yu will not end well, maybe the next time you attack Xuzhou, you will find them to settle down.
At the beginning, several people were killed by Zhang Yu because of the conflict between the children of the family and his soldiers, and individual families were scared, and they privately asked Zhang Yu to make amends.
Everyone was silent, but Mi Zhu stood up and said: "Lord, Zhang Yu's subordinates know best, as long as he is given enough benefits, that is, the amount owed to him, he will definitely not do anything to Xuzhou." ”
Mi Zhu hesitated for a moment and said: "The subordinates are willing to go to Yangzhou in person to persuade Zhang Yu, although the subordinates and Zhang Yu are in-laws, they will definitely not betray the interests of Xuzhou." ”
Tao Qian didn't say anything, he looked at everyone, and everyone was silent.
"Alas, it's just that I owe Zhang Yu a lot of money in Xuzhou, what money will I give him." Tao Qian sighed and said.
Mi Zhu stood up again and said, "Lord Zhou Mu, there will always be a scrape, and you can discuss with Zhang Yu to pay for it in other ways." The subordinates are willing to invest three million to make up from other families, and stabilize Zhang Yu first. ”
"Okay, you will send an envoy to Yangzhou and discuss it with Zhang Yu."
Tao Qian had no choice but to negotiate with Zhang Yu, and he didn't even have a bargaining chip.
Mi Zhu said again: "Lord Zhou Mu, if you don't bring enough sincerity to Yangzhou, I am afraid that it will annoy Zhang Yu, and I also ask Lord Zhou Mu for authorization, what conditions can be agreed." ”
Speaking of this, Tao Qian was big again.
After discussing for a while, Tao Qian had to promise to raise 30 million yuan for Zhang Yu within a month, and replace the rest with other methods.
In this way, Mi Zhu was ordered to negotiate.
As soon as Zhang Yu returned to Yangzhou, he did not return to Huiji County, but stationed in Jiangdu on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Moreover, Zhang Yu also arranged another 50,000 soldiers and horses here, threatening Tao Qian with 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Whether it's a drama or a real fight, you always have to put on a show.
The various news released by Zhang Yu before was indeed a threat to Tao Qian.
Zhang Yu understood that Xuzhou had long been targeted by Cao Cao, and once he took Xuzhou, the battle line was very long and could not be held at all, so Zhang Yu didn't want Xuzhou at the beginning.
However, if Tao Qian does not give in, Zhang Yu will definitely attack, but he will not destroy Xuzhou, but will fight one or two counties.
It is impossible to estimate how much a county is worth.
However, Zhang Yu is not in a hurry, although the troops are in Jiangdu, Zhang Yu still mainly trains troops.
Zhang Yu asked Dian Wei and Gao Shun to train in Jiangdu, and he went back to find his wife by himself.
Several wives have been separated for a long time.
Every time Zhang Yu goes out, it is a year and a half.
Zhang Zhao has done a good job and has developed the entire Jiangdong very well.
At this time, the Koto area was very prosperous.
The Koto region was the most prosperous place in later generations.
In ancient times, although the geographical conditions were superior, the population was sparse.
Nowadays, the population is very large, so it is growing rapidly.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Koto region at this time is definitely the most economically active place on the planet.
On the Yangtze River, merchant ships come and go frequently.
In particular, Zhang Yu did not pursue the hierarchy of Shinongong, industrialist, and industrial, but all equal.
As long as a rich businessman does not break the law, he can do whatever he likes.
However, Zhang Yu also stipulated how much land a family could only own.
Land should never be annexed.
Ancient China is a history of land annexation.
In the later period of the general dynasty, the land annexation was serious, and the people could not survive, so the dynasty fell.
For example, in the late Ming Dynasty, the land of a prince was as large as many provinces, which shows how serious the land annexation was.
And Zhang Yu just wants to avoid such a thing.
