Chapter 797 Reorganizing the Allied Forces
In this day and age, rich people hold weddings more extravagantly, and even ordinary people are better off than anyone else.
But like Zhang Yu, there are really few people who limit their own wedding specifications.
Zhang Yu did this, of course, for the sake of publicity and to pave the way for him to raise taxes.
Needless to say, the effect is really good.
The wedding was settled, even the specifications were set.
This tax increase drama disappointed many people and did not cause a big wave.
The tax increase matter subsided within a few days, and not many people were talking about it.
Zhang Yu sent a fast horse to deliver the letter, and the letter also arrived at Cao Cao and Sun Ce.
Sun Ce happened to be not on this side of Poyang Lake, but in Changsha, which was quite far away.
After receiving the news, Sun Ce immediately called Zhou Yu to discuss it.
"Gong Jin, what do you think about Zhang Yu's plan to join forces with Cao Cao and us to attack Yuan Shu?"
Zhou Yu pondered for a while, and a word burst out of his mouth. "beat."
Zhou Yu's resolute attitude made Sun Ce dazed for a moment, and then said, "Aren't you afraid it's Zhang Yu's conspiracy?"
"No, Zhang Yu has already started to show his fangs. He doesn't take the initiative to attack others like before. This time it's Yuan Shu, and next time it might be us," Zhou Yu said.
Sun Ce's heart tightened slightly, he believed Zhou Yu's judgment, and then said, "Then, will he be playing any tricks to attack Yuan Shu this time?"
Zhou Yu nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Not very good at it, at least not before Yuan Shu is destroyed. I guess Zhang Yu's strategy is very simple and clear. If Yuan Shu is destroyed, there will be one less enemy, and he will look for it later." Opportunities expand."
"Now, no matter who he fights, us, or Yuan Shao going north, or Yuan Shu, he will face threats from two to three parties. If he kills one Yuan Shu, he won't have so many scruples no matter who he fights in the future."
Sun Ce agreed with Zhou Yu's judgment, which made him feel a little heavy.
Zhang Yu's threat was very great. Unbeknownst to others, they were neighbors. Across the Yangtze River, Sun Ce could always feel the power of Jiangdong, and it was getting stronger.
Zhou Yu added: "Based on the fact that Jiangdong started to increase taxes, their previous taxes were neither too high nor too low, but it is certain that Jiangdong did not exorbitantly impose miscellaneous taxes. This is Zhang Yu's preparation for expansion."
"Okay, then this time we will fight with Zhang Yu and annihilate Yuan Shu, which is also good for us." Sun Ce made a decision and said.
Similarly, Cao Cao also began to prepare for the letter he received from Zhang Yu.
The difference is that Cao Cao didn't call all their staff this time, but just called Cao Ang.
"Ang'er, if Yuan Shu takes Lu Bu under his wing, he will definitely become a thorn in the side of the forces around us. We didn't discuss destroying him. I just didn't expect that it was Zhang Yu who initiated it." Cao Cao said.
"Zhang Yu is going to expand, and he will only become more and more aggressive in the future. My child judges that it won't take long for us to confront Zhang Yu directly." Cao Ang said.
Cao Cao agreed with Cao Ang's judgment.
"Ang'er, my father hopes that you will lead the army to attack Yuan Shu this time." Cao Cao said.
Cao Ang was very surprised, usually Cao Cao personally led the army to conquer the Quartet, but this time Cao Ang was going to lead the army himself.
"Father, the child has never led an army alone."
Cao Cao looked a little tired, rubbed his temples and said, "I didn't even have a father back then. It's no problem to have a few uncles to help you."
Cao Ang nodded in agreement.
Cao Cao has long been interested in cultivating Cao Ang, and Cao Ang performed very well before.
After being a hostage in Jiangdong for more than a year, Cao Ang seems to be more mature, and he has learned a lot in Jiangdong. Cao Cao relies on him very much.
Cao Cao intended to hand over the country to Cao Ang. This time he was asked to lead the army alone. More importantly, he wanted to cultivate a direct lineage for Cao Ang and accumulate qualifications for Cao Ang.
"Ang'er, I want to send some of my confidants to participate in the scientific examination in Jiangdong, and you can arrange it then." Cao Cao said to Cao Ang suddenly after he finished talking about the expedition.
"Father, if you can pass the exam, you are all talents, and we also need a lot of talents." Cao Ang said.
Zhang Yu's public scientific examination is definitely the best time for all parties to put eyeliner on, but Zhang Yu still dares to do so.
Those who can pass must be selected from tens of thousands of people, and they are all rare talents.
Giving these talents to the opponent, everyone feels distressed.
Cao Cao sighed and said: "The talent war is the most important thing, but we are completely behind. Zhang Yu has accumulated a large number of talents. Once it breaks out in the future, who can resist it?"
"The reason why I put people in is not to obtain important information about Jiangdong, but our previous intelligence was too one-sided. Although we can collect a lot of information, it is too superficial. If you hadn't been in Jiangdong for more than a year, a lot of After gathering intelligence, we actually made the completely opposite judgment."
"Zhang Yu's personal behavior is one way internally and another externally. It is very confusing, and his policies are even more difficult to understand."
"In the beginning, he was hostile to the whole family, who would be optimistic about him. Afterwards, he focused on business, and everyone thought that he regarded money as his life. But if we analyze it according to this, we are all wrong."
"Zhang Yu is hostile to the entire family. He has the confidence. His talents have formed a system, and he has become the person with the most talents among the princes. It is true that he emphasizes business, but he does not despise agriculture. He does not regard wealth as his life. , it can be seen from how rich Jiangdong is.”
"So, to put someone in for my father is to clarify the entire Jiangdong system. There are too many things we don't understand."
At this time, Cao Ang felt that Cao Cao's realm was much higher than him, but Cao Cao was willing to join. If there were really a few people who passed the scientific examination, it would mean that he had cultivated a few talents and gave them to the other party.
"Yes, father, the child understands, I will choose someone right now."
The matter was thus decided.
Both Sun Ce and Cao Cao agreed to attack Yuan Shu.
A few days later, Zhang Yu received a reply.
Zhang Yu had already started making preparations.
And Sun Ce and Cao Cao also began to prepare.
Yuan Shu couldn't sit still, and the three surrounding families began to prepare for the battle. Although he had an army of one million, Yuan Shu also knew what was going on in his own army.
Yuan Shu was still sitting in the emperor's dream. Originally, he didn't plan to call out, but now someone else is going to call.
Yuan Shu couldn't sleep well at first, so he asked his general Ji Ling to station troops in Shouchun, and has been strengthening the defense of Shouchun City.
Yuan Shu was panicked, but Zhang Yu was very relaxed.
It's not so fast to go to war. Before that, he has to organize the wedding first.
Zhang Yu didn't marry Sun Shangxiang this time, although they already had a husband and wife, but Sun Ce was caught in the middle, Zhang Yu didn't want to marry Sun Shangxiang at this time, he would have to beat Yuan Shu after all.
She should have married Xiao Qiao a long time ago, but she has been delayed by the war.
There is no need to prepare too much this time, for a simple wedding, just prepare for two or three days.
