Chapter 925 Untitled

This time, Zhang Yu changed into armor and was fully armed.

And Zhen Mi, Diao Chan and Xiao Qiao are wearing plain clothes.

Military attachés wore battle robes, while civilian officials wore plain uniforms.

Out of the city, the soldiers were already waiting in line.

Needless to say, after Zhang Yu arrived, all the soldiers paid attention to him.

Today is their festival, and Zhang Yu would hold such a grand ceremony for the soldiers who died in battle.

The emotions of the soldiers were indescribable.

They are soldiers here, not soldiers, not second-rate people, but must be respected by all strata.

"Let's go."

Zhang Yu checked all the phalanxes, and then ordered to set off.

The army set out, followed by a long procession of carriages, which were joined by the families.

Zhang Yu did not make any requests, nor did he ask others to participate, and it was voluntary to participate or not.

But there are still a lot of people who come to attend.

Not only Zhang Yu and some families, but also a lot of people.

Cao Ang walked with Zhou Yu in the rear, and he said leisurely: "Zhang Yu's move will make all the soldiers return to their hearts." ”

Zhou Yu nodded expressionlessly and said, "No matter what Zhang Yu's purpose is, today's actions have bought the hearts of the entire force and the people." ”

It is not only the hearts and minds of the soldiers who are bought, but also the families of these soldiers, and all walks of life understand that their lives are all fought by this group of soldiers.

In fact, the people of Youzhou have experienced so many wars, and they naturally know how good these soldiers are.

In the past, when Zhang Yu did not enter Youzhou, Liaodong could be spared from being sacked, and other places would still be sacked by the Xiongnu from time to time.

When Zhang Yu took charge of the entire Youzhou, they were rarely sacked by the Xiongnu.

The procession made its way to the cemetery outside the city.

The cemetery is on a hill, and at this time the tombstones here are neatly lined together, with names and without names.

In a big war, one-third of the people couldn't even identify their identities, so Gu Yong engraved their names on several large stone tablets according to the roster of soldiers on the side, so that future generations could worship.

When it was time to arrive, everyone had to dismount, and no carriages or sedan chairs were allowed to enter.

Zhang Yu walked in front with a few ladies, followed by this civil and martial arts.

A large platform has been built on the mountain, which can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.

Zhang Yu went up with a group of officials, while the soldiers guarded the surroundings.

Gu Yong presided.

"At the beginning of the sacrifice, the hundred officials knelt down and saluted."

Zhang Yu personally knelt down to worship at the front, which was the first kneel after he had to bow down to the emperor before.

After some etiquette, Zhang Yu stood on the high platform and announced loudly: "Fallen soldiers, you have given your lives for the people of Youzhou and your life to protect your homeland, you will always be sacrificed by future generations, forever respected by the world, and you will always be remembered by history." ”

"Here, as long as this king is here, there will be an army to guard your heroic spirits, and there will be people who will come to worship you."

The more Zhang Yu spoke, the more excited he became, his voice was very loud, and many soldiers could hear it very clearly.

Many people were in tears, not sad here, more excited.

The sound spread, and the soldiers were very excited.

The soldiers began to shout, layer upon layer, and then the ground shook.

The scene was spectacular, and the soldiers used their way to pay tribute to the souls of the dead.

Maybe they will be one of them before long.

After the mountain roared and the tsunami, Zhang Yu ordered all the soldiers to hold a military salute.

There were many people at the bottom of the mountain, and they came spontaneously, but if they couldn't come up, they worshiped at the bottom of the mountain.

In fact, usually the mountain is not closed here, and many people also come to worship spontaneously, but more of those are buried here by relatives.

After today, I believe that more people will come to worship spontaneously.

On any festival, the people will come to worship, and the souls of the dead here will not be lonely.

After the solemn sacrifice, Zhang Yu went back.

This sacrifice also has a lot of family attention.

They came from all over the world, and they didn't think much of Zhang Yu's actions, and they had the idea that soldiers were the lowest people, insignificant.

But they are not stupid, and naturally know the benefits of Zhang Yu doing this.

The whole overall situation is about to change, and the world was optimistic about Yuan Shao at the beginning, but Yuan Shao failed.

For example, the biggest princes today are Zhang Yu, Cao Cao and Sun Ce, although there are Cai Mao, Shu Di, and several other princes, but the biggest is undoubtedly the three of them.

Now Zhang Yu's momentum is getting stronger and stronger.

Even if some families have an enmity with Zhang Yu, they must face him squarely, and even prepare to invest in him.

When the sacrifice was over, it was already evening when everyone returned to the city.

Zhang Yu and the others went back to rest, but some people couldn't sit still.

Cao Ang invited Zhou Yu to a restaurant.

There was a lot of wine and food, and the two of them withdrew from everyone, but they didn't have a good appetite.

Cao Ang spoke first and said, "Zhang Yu's momentum is difficult to resist. ”

Zhou Yu did not shy away from it, he said: "Next, Zhang Yu expanded, either Jizhou and other places in the north or Dongting Lake and other areas in the south. ”

The only princes connected with Zhang Yu were Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and Zhang Yu could only fight the two of them if he wanted to expand.

The two didn't talk much, but the meaning was very clear.

The meaning of the two wanting to unite is very clear.

But it was not as clear as he said, Zhou Yu could influence Sun Ce, but he couldn't help Sun Ce make a decision.

Similarly, Cao Ang cannot replace Cao Cao.

The two can't really unite, Zhang Yu's million-strong army, Cao Cao's hands also have a million-strong army, and Sun Ce's development can also afford to equip a million-strong army.

The two families can cooperate with each other, one south and one north to contain Zhang Yu, but they can't have other close cooperation.

"If the two of us cooperate with each other, Zhang Yu will not be able to take another step to the west." Cao Ang said.

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement and said, "After I go back, I will discuss with Bo Fu and cooperate to contain Zhang Yu, which will be beneficial to us." ”

The two didn't talk in depth, and they couldn't go deeper.

The relationship between the three families is naturally to cooperate with whom they have interests, and if they have an in-depth conversation on this matter, they will not be able to talk about it at all.

The strength of the two families on the surface is not much inferior to Zhang Yu, and it is impossible for them to sign any offensive and defensive alliances and other agreements.

The two families were in a hurry, but Jiangdong's army began to attack Xuzhou very calmly.

The news of Zhang Yu's dispatch to Xuzhou did not reach Cao Cao so quickly, but Cao Cao kept staring, and it would not be long before there would be news, and then the war would naturally begin.

In Xuzhou, Gao Shun Lingcao captured Xiapi City and then stationed a large army.

Gao Shun's 50,000 heavy infantry defended the city, and another 50,000 defenders were sent to assist Gao Shun.

Ling Cao continued to take 100,000 people to other cities, as long as Xiapi City was there, he could control half of Xuzhou.
