Chapter 400: Spending Money to Buy Peace
When Zhang Fei wanted to run away, Zhang Yu sent troops to attack.
In other words, the soldiers and horses Zhang Fei led were not bad, blocking Zhang Yu's attack.
However, no matter in terms of strength or state, they couldn't compare with Zhang Yu and the others, and they were just resisting.
After a fight, Zhang Yu and the others quickly wiped out these troops.
However, it was delayed for almost half an hour, and Zhang Fei took the opportunity to run away with more than a hundred cavalry.
"Pity."
It's a pity to run away from Zhang Fei. At this time, if you want to catch up, you can't catch up, so Zhang Yu can only give up.
Zhang Fei ran away, but fortunately he ran fast.
Fighting against Zhang Yu, he found that he couldn't fight, let alone competing for strength.
Although Zhang Fei was reckless, he was not stupid at all, so he ran away quickly for such a thing.
Without the restraints of infantry, he ran very fast.
But Zhang Fei felt extremely aggrieved.
From Luoyang to Yangzhou, I have not participated in the war. The first time I fought, the result was that I had to run away.
Zhang Yu eliminated Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses, and then did not continue to pursue them.
After chasing for several days, they chased several people and horses, and the others ran away.
Zhang Yu took people back.
This battle is considered to be over, and Zhang Yu and the others have won a complete victory.
On the way back, he met Dian Wei and the others. Dian Wei was escorting thousands of captives, shouting and cursing all the way.
Dian Wei cursed all the way, really angry.
This time he didn't have any battles to fight. Although he overthrew several waves of people, he easily defeated them.
Seeing these captives, Dian Wei became angry, but he didn't dare to do anything to them, because Zhang Yu didn't allow the captives to be killed, and it's okay to abuse them occasionally, and it shouldn't be too much.
"Come on, why are you so angry? There are so many people who have offended us this time. I'm afraid there will be no battle to fight. We will go find them one by one in the future." Zhang Yu comforted Dian Wei.
Dian Wei still had a look of anger on his face, he was upset that he couldn't fight.
Zhang Yu went back with the army.
After going back, Guo Jia and the others had also gone back.
They were leading infantry, and if they couldn't catch up, they didn't chase too far.
"My lord."
Zhang Yu went back not to Kuaiji or Wu County, but to Wanling City.
At this time, Wanling City already belonged to Zhang Yu's own family.
Guo Jia and the others took over the entire Danyang County.
Zhang Yu is very happy, because Danyang is also a very famous existence.
The most famous one is this elite soldier from Danyang.
Cao Cao once said that the best soldiers in the world came out of Danyang, which shows that the elite soldiers in Danyang were famous all over the world at that time.
But Zhang Yu has occupied this place, so how can we not make him happy.
The performance of the Danyang soldiers is so poor this time. It cannot be said that the Danyang soldiers are weak. It can only be said that the generals who lead them this time are too useless, and the right time and place are not on their side.
In this war, Zhang Yu lost more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and consumed countless food, grass and weapons, but everything was worth it because he gained more.
Not to mention other things, the land of a county and the huge population are not comparable to that loss.
Moreover, Zhang Yu also collected a large amount of wealth, and with the captives captured, his military and financial resources have skyrocketed.
Several generals and subordinates were waiting for Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu led them into the prefect's mansion.
Sitting on the main hall of the prefect's mansion, Chen Wen used to issue orders here to encircle and suppress him.
But now, the owner here has replaced him.
"It's hard work, everyone, but it's all worth it." Zhang Yu said to everyone.
This battle is worth it.
Earn a fortune.
Guo Jia began to report.
"My lord, this time we have captured more than 48,000 captives, and my subordinates plan to select 30,000 and incorporate them into each army," Guo Jia said.
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "The force must be expanded. Not only that, but another 30,000 new recruits will be recruited in Danyang County."
The expansion of troops is because Zhang Yu is going to use troops abroad.
Then Guo Jia reported on the situation in Danyang County.
Danyang County has not gone through a war and is well preserved.
But most officials need to be replaced, replaced by their own people.
This Danyang County will be a treasure land of geomantic omen in later generations,
Because part of it is near the Yangtze River Delta, and part of it is a large plain, where the granary is located.
Accepting such a piece of land, Zhang Yu naturally has to manage it well, and it won't take long to become a wealthy place.
Zhang Yu and the others are taking stock of the spoils.
In this battle, the opponent was fierce, but very useless.
How can a patchwork army be invincible with a useless leader.
"My lord, when will we fight out?" Dian Wei didn't care about anything else, only when the war would start.
Zhang Yu straightened his sitting posture and said, "Let's say right away, that I will find anyone who comes to attack us one by one, and anyone who does not cause us any real harm can be redeemed with money, starting at five million."
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, what is Zhang Yu going to do.
Want to blackmail the princes?
When Dian Wei heard this, he immediately became unhappy, and said at the top of his voice, "My lord, let's go directly to rob, and we can rob even more."
Zhang Yu said: "Hey, money is a bit tight, let's make some money first."
Zhang Yu laughed wretchedly, and everyone's faces turned black. Zhang Yu is now very rich, because he has robbed many aristocratic families recently.
But Zhang Yu also has a lot of things to spend money on immediately.
Recruiting troops is very costly.
There are other reasons why Zhang Yu didn't choose to go to war immediately.
I just ate Danyang County, let's digest and strengthen my strength first.
It would take several years to call back one by one, because some places are too far away.
It's better to intimidate and take a sum of money to strengthen yourself first.
But Zhang Yu doesn't just talk and don't do anything, and he won't be afraid of him if he doesn't go out to rob others.
So Zhang Yu still planned to take a knife first.
There are two people he wants to operate on. One is Xuzhou, which is relatively close. However, Guangling County in Xuzhou also sent soldiers and horses, and there are quite a few of them.
In addition, Zhang Yu wanted to attack Sun Ce.
Although he has friendship with the Sun family, one yard counts for one yard. This time Sun Ce actually brought an army of 30,000 to attack him.
Although nothing was gained in the end, Zhang Yu had to take revenge.
When this news is released, I believe many people will think it is crazy, but Zhang Yu has done a lot of crazy things.
The most important thing is that these princes have to weigh it.
If they don't pay for peace, will they be like the Yuan family?
Back then, the Yuan family was powerful, but Zhang Yu still dared to attack.
But no matter what, this battle has shocked too many people's attention.
"Zhang Yu is really a scourge, and he hasn't been eliminated." In Luoyang, Liu Bei was so angry that he was going crazy. If you let him know that Zhang Fei was defeated and lost a lot of troops, I don't know what he will think.
Zhang Fei fled with the infantry for two days, naturally not so fast, the news had not reached Liu Bei, but the news of Zhang Yu's victory had already reached him.
Liu Bei is angry, Zhang Yu's scourge is fine, and he looks like his strength will increase greatly.
As the news slowly spread, Zhang Yu was about to be shocked again soon.
