Chapter 574: Zhou Yu’s Plan

Zhang Yu sent someone to inform Yuan Shu, just to make Yuan Shu retreat and compromise.

If all his 300,000 elite soldiers were here, Yuan Shu would not have many soldiers to fight.

After some analysis by Yang Hong, the arrogant Yuan Shu also calmed down.

He could only ask: "Is it just retreating like this? Give up Poyang Lake?"

Yang Hong said: "Fighting on two fronts, even if we are strong, we still have too much to worry about. It is better to retreat first, use tactics to break up the alliance between Zhang Yu and Sun Ce, and defeat each of them at that time."

Yuan Shu was very unwilling, did he just retreat like this?

He now has nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, and his strength is naturally strong, so it is no problem to retreat.

But withdrew and regained Poyang Lake again, it would not be that simple.

Yuan Shu hesitated.

Now most of his soldiers and horses are restrained.

Yuan Shu wanted to guard against Liu Bei and Cao Cao in the north, and Zhang Yu went to Hefei again, restraining too many soldiers and horses.

Yuan Shu thinks about it now, he has a million troops, but he can use less than half of them.

Sun Ce just surrounded Wan County and did not attack.

But Sun Ce believed that unless Yuan Shu got reinforcements, he would have to retreat in the end.

Regardless of the fact that Sun Ce didn't have many soldiers, under the leadership of several generals, he was also the little overlord of Jiangdong, with powerful combat power.

Sometimes it is not enough to win with more troops.

In fact, Yuan Shu would not lose to Sun Ce in a fight, but Yuan Shu took too much into account, and that was the variable Zhang Yu.

If Zhang Yu joined and was attacked by surprise, the consequences would be too serious.

Zhang Yu hid his soldiers and horses, but Yuan Shu sent a large number of scouts to find them, which made him worry all the time.

Yuan Shu didn't dare to fight Sun Ce outside the city when he was worried, so he had to retreat.

The result of returning is to lose a large area of ​​land.

Sun Ce took control of these places and immediately began to recruit soldiers and horses to expand his strength.

But now people are easy to recruit, but weapons, equipment and food are not easy to solve.

But the "caring" Zhang Yu came to the door immediately.

"General Sun, my lord has said that they have a lot of weapons and equipment obtained from Yuan Jun that they can sell to you. At the same time, your food can also be sold to you. The food is calculated at 2.5 times the market price and can be transported here for you. ” said the envoy sent by Zhang Yu.

Sun Ce calculated that it was 2.5 times including the shipping fee, which was not expensive at all.

When the war started, food was not easy to get, it would be good if you could buy it, and Zhang Yu could supply all their food and grass.

As for Yuan Jun's weapons and equipment, Sun Ce looked down upon them, but it was better than nothing.

In this way, Zhang Yu sold all the weapons and equipment captured from Yuan Shu's captives and the captured cities to Sun Ce. There were more than 70,000 sets of weapons and equipment in total.

Of course, this is because Zhang Yu didn't pick off the weapons and equipment on the dead, otherwise there would be more. The soldiers of Zhang Yu's team respected them all, including the enemy's.

In this way, Zhang Yu began to make war fortune.

This is tens of millions of dollars, allowing Zhang Yu to do many things.

Unlike Zhang Yu making money from war, Yuan Shu is very entangled now.

After thinking about it, he called Yang Hong and said, "It's better to negotiate with Zhang Yu, agree to his request, and ask him not to interfere in this war."

Yuan Shu still had the illusion that as long as Zhang Yu withdrew, they could win.

However, Yang Hong was not optimistic at all. It would cost too much to let Zhang Yu retreat at this time, and if Zhang Yu repented, they were still very dangerous.

In the end, Yang Hong went to Zhang Yu to find out.

Although Sun Ce besieged the city, he was not besieged to death. Small groups of troops could still come and go, and Sun Ce didn't want to trap them to death, because the troops were insufficient. He only needed to control them within a large area so that the large army could not travel.

Two days later, Yang Hong arrived at Zhang Yu's barracks.

"Haha, Lord Yang, what do you think of my barracks? Can Yuan Shu's 300,000 troops break through?" Zhang Yu's team Yang Hong said.

Yang Hong was speechless, Zhang Yu was so arrogant.

"Master Zhang, my lord is willing to reconcile with Master Zhang, what do you want?" Yang Hong said.

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "The conditions for reconciliation last time were very simple, but this time it is not so easy to reconcile."

Yang Hong's heart sank slightly, and he also knew this situation. Although Yuan Shu is not in danger now, he is restrained by all parties and lost a lot of land.

"Master Zhang, please make a condition." Yang Hong said.

Yang Hong has made a plan to continue the negotiation if the conditions are acceptable, and leave if the conditions are not acceptable.

At this time, Zhang Yu would not talk to Yang Hongmo. He said directly: "Let Yuan Shu give up Chaohu Lake, use Chaohu Lake as the boundary, and withdraw from Wanxian County, and the compensation will be fine. If Yuan Shu can do it, I promise, within half a year. I will take the initiative to attack Yuan Shu. I will withdraw my troops immediately, and will not help Sun Ce in any form except to do some business."

"Impossible, other conditions are easy to handle, and even my lord can promise you 50 million yuan, but it is absolutely impossible to quit Wan County." Yang Hong said.

Zhang Yu had already guessed Yang Hong's possible reaction, this Wan County is too important, losing Wan County is equivalent to losing half of Poyang Lake.

Zhang Yu immediately threatened: "I still have 200,000 soldiers and horses. If Yuan Shu does not withdraw from Wan County, although I will not attack, I will definitely cut off Yuan Shu's retreat."

Threats, just like Yuan Shu's threats.

Yang Hong was so angry that he almost ran away.

"Zhang Yu, my master's army of millions, how can I let you threaten me."

Zhang Yu spread his hands and ignored him lazily.

Zhang Yu blocked Yuan Shu's grain road, he could afford to wait, and was not in a hurry.

In the end they broke up unhappy, and Yang Hong went back.

After returning home, Yuan Shu almost ran away after hearing it.

At this time, the three parties confronted each other, and hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Wan County.

But Zhang Yu is the most relaxed, and he can also do "business", sell some food and weapons and equipment, and earn him tens of millions.

The other two parties have been consuming.

Although Zhang Yu is still consuming, his capture is enough to support his current consumption.

In Sun Ce's camp, Zhou Yu kept thinking in the barracks.

He had a plan in his head that he had been thinking about for a day.

"This plan is very likely to succeed, but it will offend Zhang Yu." Zhou Yu thought.

Zhou Yu continued to perfect the plan and stayed alone in the big tent for two days.

Sun Ce also found a problem with Zhou Yu's situation, so he came to him.

"Gongjin, what's wrong with you?" Sun Ce asked.

"I thought of a plan to destroy the city, but this plan has serious sequelae." Zhou Yu said.

"Sequelae? What are the sequelae of breaking the city?" Sun Ce asked in confusion.

"Our army pretends to be Zhang Yu's main force, which will offend Zhang Yu." Zhou Yu said.

It turns out that Zhou Yu's plan needs to offend Zhang Yu, so he must be cautious.

"Yes, as long as we control Poyang Lake, we will be no less powerful than Zhang Yu, and we will be offended if we offend him," Sun Ce said.

"Okay, then we will do it." Zhou Yu said.

So Zhou Yu offered his strategy to Sun Ce. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
