One Hundred and Twentieth Eight Chapters of the Country's Wealth

Yuan Zhan had long wanted to kill Zhang Yu, but he had no strength and no chance before.

When Huangfusong sent him to build a big camp for Zhang Yu and the others, he made a move in the big camp.

At the beginning, Yuan Zhan didn't expect that the Yellow Turban would come to attack.

When Huang Jin attacked him fiercely, in order to pass on the crisis, he thought of setting Zhang Yu's camp on fire.

Huang Jin saw that Zhang Yu's barracks were on fire, so he naturally divided his troops to attack, so he could take the opportunity to escape.

The plan went so well that he sent his henchmen to set the fire, and the news would not get out.

His crisis was resolved, and Zhang Yu suffered heavy losses, which was what he wanted to see the most.

In the battle tonight, the Yellow Turbans broke through two large camps, and also attacked a part of the Han army who came out of the camp to rescue them.

It can be said to be a complete victory.

It's just that Ma Yuanyi was not happy at all. He sent more than 20,000 yellow turban elites to attack Zhang Yu, and as a result, 10,000 died in battle. The news he got was that half of Zhang Yu's troops had not been wiped out.

Although the loss would be so large, it was entirely due to being chased and killed by the cavalry later.

When the battle lasted until midnight, the Yellow Turbans withdrew their troops.

In this battle, the official army lost 18,000 men excluding Zhang Yu, and the Yellow Turban lost nearly 30,000 men.

Although the Yellow Turbans suffered a lot of losses, it was clear that the Yellow Turbans won this battle.

If Zhang Yu's cavalry hadn't been severely wounded once, the Yellow Turban's casualties would not have exceeded 23,000 tonight, which can be described as a big victory.

And Zhang Yu's loss was not small.

"My lord, we have lost more than 1,800 soldiers." After returning, Ling Cao reported.

"Do it!" Zhang Yu slapped the table angrily and said, "It's all because the fire was too strange, otherwise we wouldn't have lost so much."

"My lord, the fire is indeed strange. When we sent people back to check, many traces were deliberately destroyed, but the Yellow Turbans did not continue to attack after we retreated, so the fire was obviously man-made." Ling Cao said.

Needless to say, Zhang Yu also understood that the only ones who could set fire to that place at that time were the people from Yuan Zhan's barracks.

The camps of the two sides were not far away. They came from behind to set fire. At that time, Zhang Yu's army had already concentrated in the front to fight against the Yellow Turbans, so no one would notice.

"My lord, let's kill them for revenge and wipe them out." Dian Wei became angry when he heard this, and wished he could lead his troops to kill them immediately.

Zhang Yu's face was gloomy. At that time, he wanted to send troops to help Yuan Zhan fight back the Yellow Turban, but he didn't expect him to attack him.

The more Zhang Yu thought about it, the more angry he became. If he hadn't had any real evidence, he would have killed him directly.

Without real evidence, Huangfusong will definitely intervene.

"Brother Zhang, it's about the overall situation. We shouldn't move lightly, otherwise we will be responsible for the defeat." Huang Zhong persuaded as an elderly man.

Zhang Yu also understood that the other party's hands and feet were clean, and without evidence, if he retaliated, the charges would all fall on him.

Zhang Yu's camp caught fire that night, and almost all the senior generals of the Han army knew about it the next day.

Many people also speculated that Yuan Zhan or his subordinates did it.

But I understood it in my heart, and no one mentioned it again.

The next day, Huangfusong sent someone to express condolences.

Zhang Yu said directly to the man: "Go back and reply to General Huangfu. Our army has suffered more than half of the casualties, and there are still a large number of wounded. Our army retreated 30 miles to rest."

Huangfusong was also very helpless when he received the news that Zhang Yu was going to retire.

Zhang Yu really retreated thirty miles, directly to the logistics base built by Xi Zhicai.

Zhang Yu suppressed the matter first, looking for an opportunity to take revenge.

Qiu Zhangyu must report, if not for Zhang Yu's strong fighting power, they might be wiped out that night.

"Zhicai, it is difficult for you to operate the base in such a short period of time." Zhang Yu called Xi Zhicai and said.

Xi Zhicai smiled modestly and said: "That's because the lord gave me a good foundation. If you want money to give money, you want people to give, if you don't do it well, you will feel ashamed of the lord."

Zhang Yu nodded, that was indeed the case.

Zhang Yu was quite happy to come to this logistics base,

There are blacksmiths working day and night, and there are many people.

Huge but not messy.

Many warehouses are full of supplies.

It can be seen that many people used medicinal materials or other collected materials in exchange for food or money.

And Zhang Yu also found that Xi Zhicai looked very good, his face was flushed, and he was a little fatter.

"It seems that the system's soul-returning pill is really powerful. As expected of a thing that costs 300,000 points, the effect is good, so Huang Xu must be saved." Zhang Yu thought to himself.

"My lord, we have already collected a large amount of medicinal materials. These medicinal materials were secretly sent to the Yellow Turban in exchange for a large amount of money. However, we have also created a large number of weapons. What should we do with these weapons?"

Xi Zhicai knew that Zhang Yu would not sell weapons to Huang Jin for the time being.

"The weapon can't be used by itself, and it can't be sold to the Yellow Turban, but it can be sold to the Han army. Now the battle has been escalating, and the consumption of the Han army is also huge. Not to mention anything else, the arrows have been used up, and the rest of the weapons are the same. No, so you can sell weapons to them."

Zhang Yu's goal was not impossible, but easy to achieve. The next day, Zhang Yu had someone pretend to be a merchant to find Huangfusong.

Huangfusong immediately agreed to purchase weapons.

The people sent by Zhang Yu raised an arrow by one copper coin, turning the original three copper coins into four copper coins.

The battle situation is not optimistic, Huangfusong's troops have been greatly reduced, and he has to buy them.

Although an arrow only costs four copper coins, the demand is very high. Huangfusong purchased 100,000 arrows at a time.

Huangfusong also purchased some other weapons and equipment.

Zhang Yu made a fortune in national calamity.

He also learned from Xi Zhicai that he also made a lot of money trading with the Yellow Turban.

The yellow turbans are sweeping all over the country, there is plenty of money, and they are generous in dealing with them.

They needed a lot of medicines, and the prices were very high. Xi Zhicai asked the people to collect them for him with only a part of the money.

"Weapons cannot be sold to the Yellow Turban, but shields can be. Good shields cannot be sold. I believe the Yellow Turban will be very willing to buy a batch of wooden shields." Zhang Yu thought cheerfully.

Sell ​​arrows to the Han army and wooden shields with yellow scarves, so that both of them can fight for consumption.

Zhang Yu did what he said, and at the same time asked people to contact the Yellow Turban, and at the same time asked Xi Zhicai to start making.

Making wooden shields is very simple and very quick.

After finishing all this, it was already a few days later, Zhang Yu was most concerned about his own strength.

"My lord, the recruits have been trained and can be added to our main army." When Ling Cao arrived here, he took over Xi Zhicai's military training duties and began training.

"Okay, let's replenish the army to 10,000 people. I'd like to see who can outsmart whom." Zhang Yu has strong logistical support. After a batch of recruits are trained, he organizes another team of 3,000 recruits. start training.

"Equip the army, let's fight back." After a few days of recovery, Zhang Yu had another 10,000 troops in his hands, and planned to fight back again.
