Chapter 568: Negotiation

Chao County and Hefei are only separated by Chaohu Lake, and they can be killed within a day, which makes Yuan Jun in Hefei City very anxious.

There are 100,000 Yuan Jun in Hefei City, all of them are elite.

But at this time they dare not attack easily.

What they fear most is being ambushed, and even more afraid of being flanked by Zhang Yu and Sun Ce.

They were hesitating, but Zhang Yu and the others were not in a hurry after they arrived in Chao County.

"Order the whole army to rest well and recharge their batteries." Zhang Yu ordered.

Zhang Yu didn't receive the news of sending troops from Hefei City, so Zhang Yu knew that they would not send troops in a short time.

It was just enough for the soldiers to take a good rest. In addition, Zhang Yu and the others had already occupied half of Jiujiang County. At this time, Guo Jia was leading people to deal with the aftermath.

On the one hand, all the captives were brought back, and on the other hand, people were sent to take over the captured city.

The most important thing is that Guo Jia also needs to deploy defenses and set up retreat routes along the road.

Although Zhang Yu doesn't believe that he will lose, sometimes he needs to retreat strategically, pretending to be defeated, and luring the enemy to go deep.

The retreat route arranged by Guo Jia found several ambush locations along the way, and sent people to make preparations. If necessary, the enemy can be ambushed in these places.

Anyway, Zhang Yu was not in a hurry, he didn't want to attack after hitting here.

If they attack again, they will hit Yuan Shu's hinterland, and Yuan Shu will definitely fight him desperately.

However, Poyang Lake is very important, and Sun Ce will target Poyang Lake, so Yuan Shu will definitely place the main enemy on Sun Ce, and Zhang Yu can just relax and watch the fun.

Sure enough, after several days passed, Hefei City did not take any action other than increasing troops.

Zhang Yu and the others were idle for five days in a row.

During these five days, Sun Ce and the others were like a broken bamboo, capturing more than a dozen county towns in a row.

Yuan Shu had already gathered troops and horses, and personally led 300,000 elite soldiers, which were the strongest elite soldiers under Yuan Shu.

Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses have been trained for a long time and are well equipped.

However, Yuan Shu was still hesitating, and the 300,000 troops stopped when they arrived in Hefei City.

"Tell me, whether to attack Sun Ce or Zhang Yu first." Yuan Shu summoned his men to discuss.

Yang Hong came out and said, "My lord, the vicinity of Poyang Lake is the source of our finances and taxes. The food there is enough for our entire force to eat, so we can't throw it away."

Another staff member came out and said, "Master, Zhang Yu is about to attack Hefei City. Hefei City is only a few days away from Shouchun, so the threat is too great."

Ji Ling came out and said: "My lord, we still have a million troops. We will defend one road and attack one road. After finishing one road, we can concentrate our forces to clean up the other road."

Yuan Shu hesitated. This decision was too difficult. It is true that he had an army of one million. At this time, Yuan Shu was also very inflated, so he didn't worry too much.

Yang Hong said again: "My lord, after Zhang Yu attacked Chao County, he stagnated. According to Zhang Yu's character, he never thought of occupying a large area of ​​land. Why don't you make peace with Zhang Yu first, and then turn around after defeating Sun Ce?" Hit Zhang Yu."

Yuan Shu nodded and said, "It's possible, but Zhang Yu is always greedy."

Asking Zhang Yu for peace, even if it is temporary, according to Zhang Yu's consistent character, would seriously cheat him, so Yuan Shu was very unwilling.

But so what if he doesn't want to, although Yuan Shu is arrogant, he also knows that fighting on two fronts is a taboo.

"Okay, Yang Hong, it's better for you to go to Zhang Yu. As long as the conditions are not too excessive, you can promise him first. After I get rid of Sun Ce, I will go to Zhang Yu to settle the score." After hesitating for a long time, Yuan Shu finally agreed.

Yang Hong took the order to go, and immediately went to Zhang Yu in a hurry.

"Negotiation? This is unexpected. Did you think Yuan Shu was going to send an army to attack me?" Zhang Yu said depressingly.

At this time, he had already made arrangements, and was waiting for Yuan Shu and the others to come, but Yuan Shu didn't come.

Zhang Yu's spies received it when Yang Hong left Hefei City, and he could guess that Yuan Shu wanted to negotiate.

Negotiations are negotiating, Zhang Yu will first see what Yuan Shu wants to do.

Zhang Yu went to meet Gao Shun alone,

His secret hiding place should not be revealed yet.

Not long after Zhang Yu joined Gao Shun, Guo Jia also arrived at the front line. This time he also brought supplementary soldiers and horses to replenish all the soldiers damaged in the battle.

A day later, Yang Hong arrived, just outside the county seat of Chao County.

"Master Yang, we met again, I don't know why you came to my place this time?" Zhang Yu said arrogantly while sitting in the big tent.

Yang Hong was not happy to see Zhang Yu's appearance.

"Master Zhang, this is my master's place, not Master Zhang's place." Yang Hong said angrily.

Zhang Yu spread his hands fearlessly and said, "It will be mine soon."

Yang Hong rolled his eyes, not wanting to continue arguing with Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu is notoriously shameless.

"Master Zhang, my lord wants to have a truce with Mr. Zhang. As long as Mr. Zhang is willing to withdraw his troops, my lord is willing to let the past go, and..."

"Okay, don't look at the current situation, and let the past go." Zhang Yu interrupted Yang Hong impatiently and said, "If I want to withdraw my troops, I will show my sincerity, and besides, I have already sent troops, so how can I just let it go. "

Yang Hong didn't continue to talk nonsense, and he also knew that Zhang Yu would not just withdraw his troops obediently, but he had to fight for it.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, you can put forward whatever conditions you want."

"The place I have already occupied will never be returned. If you have the ability, you can take it back yourself. If you have a truce, your people will withdraw from Chao County. I want this Chao County, and I also want the entire Chaohu Lake. That’s enough, just pay me another 50 million for dispatching troops.” Zhang Yu said.

"Master Zhang, do you think this is possible? The place is occupied by you, and we have to compensate you with 50 million yuan. Chao County can give it to you. You can buy it with 30 million yuan." Yang Hong said forcefully.

"I'm talking about Master Yang." Zhang Yu leaned forward and said, "Now is not the time for us to reason, but to see whose fist is bigger. Now my fist is bigger, you have to listen to me."

Yang Hong was choked, so what reason is there at this time, but when it comes to big fists, Yuan Shu's fists are not small at all.

"Fist? Whose fist is the biggest now? I have an army of millions. If there is a real fight, can you win?" Yang Hong said.

"Haha, as for Yuan Shu, if I wanted to, I would call him Shouchun now, but I just don't want to take advantage of Sun Ce." Zhang Yu said.

Yang Hong doesn't know whether Zhang Yu is real or not, whether Zhang Yu has strength, how much strength he has, and how much combat power the army has, it's hard to say.

"Losing money is impossible, how could my lord give you money at this time, and now my lord's army of millions is still here." Yang Hong said.

Zhang Yu raised his brows and said: "There is nothing to talk about. In the end, I have to rely on my strength to speak. I have the strength, so I can do whatever I want. If Yuan Shu has the ability, I can do whatever I want. Why don't you go back first?" , and wait for the results to come out, we are having a good discussion."

Seeing Zhang Yu's calm expression, Yang Hong's heart was agitated.
