Zhang Yu wants to fight a war, and he has to build roads on a large scale, which can be said to be a great achievement.

But Zhang Yu now has such confidence.

If the north-south gallop road is built, the degree of accessibility of government decrees will be greatly improved, and the north-south travel will be more convenient.

The point is that this is a windfall and is not in Zhang Yu's plan.

The construction of Chidao is the government's investment in the private sector, which can greatly boost the economy, so Zhang Yu is not afraid of such a big move.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in later generations, the sin is in the present generation, but the merit is in the future, and the digging of the Grand Canal is definitely a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but the people rebelled, but the canal is still in use today.

That's because a large number of people were expropriated, and the people's land could only be abandoned, and there was no wages, and it was purely forced labor.

People can't support their families, and many people die of exhaustion on the construction site.

So they rebelled.

And Zhang Yu doesn't have this concern, he can support his family without farming, and in addition, there is enough food, and the price of grain will not rise.

Not only are they not worried that the people will not come to work, but they will rush to work.

If you work alone, you can eat well, and you can still support your family.

Zhang Yu also wants to dig the canal, but he has to wait until he can afford it.

When the time comes, millions of people will be spent on millions of dollars a day, can Zhang Yu afford it?

After digging for more than ten days of treasures, Zhang Yu went back and brought back a large number of antiques.

These antiques Zhang Yu don't want to sell, build a museum in the future, or simply find a place to re-bury them and leave them to future generations.

You can bury it with yourself, bury it for a thousand or two thousand years and then dig it out, and then there will be no large amount of destruction.

The news that Zhang Yu had dug up a large amount of treasure leaked out, but it didn't cause much impact.

The princes can only envy, they can't grab it if they want to.

The people didn't react, and they wouldn't have their share anyway.

On the contrary, the cabinet was overjoyed, and the money was at its disposal.

Although Zhang Yu allocated 100 million yuan to the Ministry of Communications, there is still a lot of money to distribute.

As the pace of winter gradually passed, the smell of war became more and more intense.

Zhang Yu deployed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Youzhou and Jizhou, and these soldiers and horses became more and more frequent, repeatedly scouting around the territory of Cao Cao and the Yuan family.

Zhang Yu's actions were interpreted by the outside world as an attack on Jizhou.

After more than a month of dispatching troops, Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses have been in place.

Fuso's 100,000 soldiers and horses have been transported to Jiangdong, but their training is still relatively small.

In addition, 100,000 soldiers and horses from Langya County, 100,000 soldiers and horses from Xuzhou and Qingzhou, plus the soldiers and horses originally arranged in Jiangdong, the main battle strength has reached 500,000.

500,000 soldiers and horses are a formidable force.

And Zhang Yu also continued to conduct pressure in Youzhou.

This time, 300 million yuan was dug up from the treasure of the Yellow Turban, as well as a large number of antique jade.

Those antiques or something, Zhang Yu didn't plan to sell them, but there were 300 million other things, 100 million was allocated to the Ministry of Communications, 100 million was handed over to the cabinet for arrangement, and the other 100 million was used as military expenses.

After everything was prepared, Zhang Yu prepared to attack Jizhou.

Yes, Jizhou acts first, which can attract the attention of others more.

Zhang Yu and the others occupied the three counties in the east, which were not far from Yecheng, and could directly threaten the safety of Yecheng.

Zhang Yu's more than 100,000 troops wandered around the border, training, and were ready to attack at any time.

Even logistical preparations began, food and grass were mobilized, and even siege equipment was manufactured.

"Give me momentum, you must scare the other party." Zhang Yu often takes soldiers out to practice, and now when he comes out, he is all powerful.

This time, Zhang Yu took 50,000 people out to train, and the 50,000 people were divided into many squares and carried out various forms of training within a radius of more than ten miles.

And Cao Jun's scouts have been paying attention to this area, and they are afraid that Zhang Yu will suddenly kill him.

This training lasted for three days, which made the troops on the Cao army's border very nervous.

Cao Jun was nervous, because Zhang Yu's attack intention was already very obvious.

Zhang Yu's 200,000 troops were concentrated here, and several generals also moved around.

Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, and several generals are all there.

With Zhang Yu, the five people are a luxurious lineup, and there is also a Zhao Yun who doesn't know where it is.

Zhang Yu's soldiers are so sharp that this Cao Ang is naturally a male soldier.

At the beginning, Cao Ang and they arranged tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the border to prevent Zhang Yu from suddenly killing him.

But Zhang Yu's momentum is not only big, but also has a large number of soldiers and horses, so that Cao Ang does not dare to fight Zhang Yu.

Tens of thousands of troops had to gather together and then retreat.

On this day, news came from the front that Zhang Yu's army was attacking their border, and Cao Ang called Jia Xu and Xun You.

"Two gentlemen, there are only 60,000 troops on the front line, and they can't stop Zhang Yu's 200,000 soldiers and horses, looking at the posture, Zhang Yu is about to attack." Cao Ang said.

The two of them studied the information for a while, and then Xun Yin analyzed and said: "The eldest prince, there are only a few counties that can be defended along the way, it is better to resist for two days and give up, the focus is to consume Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses, and then withdraw to Yecheng, focusing on defending Yecheng." ”

Yecheng, at this time, has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, which is very strong.

Cao Ang nodded, he dragged a lot of information in his hand, and looked at it casually unconsciously.

After a while, he said: "As long as we ensure that Yecheng is fine, even if Zhang Yu captures the surrounding places, it will only lengthen the battle line in the end." ”

If there is a place to defend, this Cao Ang will not let it go.

Cao Ang already had a plan in his heart, that is, to use defense to drag Zhang Yu and consume Zhang Yu.

With Yecheng in hand, Cao Ang doesn't have to be afraid of Zhang Yu at all, even if 500,000 troops come to attack Yecheng, this Cao Ang is confident to defend it.

Jia Xu didn't speak, Cao Ang looked at him as if he had something on his mind, and finally asked, "Mr. Wenhe, what do you think?" ”

"Zhang Yu is unwise to attack Yecheng, Yecheng is strong, so he can't beat it for half a year, he has been in battle for a long time, he won't understand." Jia Xu shook his head, obviously he didn't have a clue.

"The subordinates guessed that Zhang Yu didn't really want to capture Yecheng, but what he wanted to achieve by attacking Yecheng."

Jia Xu said that Xun You also agreed, but they couldn't come up with anything after studying for a long time.

"The concerns of the two gentlemen are very reasonable, I will send a letter to my father and ask him to prepare, and no matter what Zhang Yu's purpose is, we must defend Yecheng to the death, as long as Yecheng is here, everything else can be dealt with."

Defending Yecheng, there is nothing to say, it must be defended.

Zhang Yu built momentum on the border for a few days, after which the army began to set off.

"Let's go, the goal is Yecheng."

A few days later, Zhang Yu ordered 50,000 soldiers and horses, and then set off for Yecheng.

Three hours after Zhang Yu's departure, Huang Zhong also set off, followed by Tai Shici and Zhang Liao.

Several men are divided into several teams, and unlike the traditional forward center and rear guard, the legion and the legion march separately.

Some go hand in hand, some echo back and forth.

Zhang Yu, who rarely reorganizes military flags, not only has the king flag inlaid with gold edges this time, but also arranges a lot of military flags in various armies.

There were also several flags of each army, and the scouts of the enemy army could easily distinguish Zhang Yu's strength and who led the soldiers and horses.

Along the way, Zhang Yu made no secret of it, and it was impossible to hide it on such a large scale.

Zhang Yu: Their speed was not fast, as if they were not in a hurry.

In Jiangdong, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia actually appeared in Jiangdong.

Zhao Yun had arrived half a month ago, and Guo Jia had just arrived.
