Chapter 537 Yuan Shao is Still Cowardly
Zhang Yu didn't know what Xu You had fooled Yuan Shao into.
But these 20 sets of equipment are really a bargain, and Yuan Shao took the initiative to add [-]% of the money.
Zhang Yu deliberately said in a difficult way: "Master Xu, if I take off one hundred thousand sets of weapons and equipment, then my place will be in danger. Although I want to make money, I can't ignore safety."
Seeing that Zhang Yu was tempted, Xu You continued, "That's not easy. I'll just go back and persuade Benchu to withdraw. You know, Qingzhou was invaded, and Benchu is also in a hurry to go back."
"That's the case, and I know it, it's just that the two sides have fought like this and it's hard to trust each other." Zhang Yu said.
"The price is increasing by [-]%, and then I asked Ben Chu to withdraw [-] troops first, what do you think?" Xu You said.
Zhang Yu didn't think about it, and immediately said: "Okay, if this is the case, then this transaction can be concluded."
Zhang Yu went on to say: "If you have money, you can talk about anything, as long as Yuan Shao raises all the money, you can trade."
Xu You was finally relieved that this transaction was facilitated by him, and it could solve Yuan Shao's two major problems, so of course the credit goes without saying.
Xu You was very happy, toasted again and again, and wanted to get drunk with Zhang Yu.
The two drank a lot of wine, and of course Xu You passed out in the end.
To arrange for Xu You, Zhang Yu summoned several generals.
"My lord, will we really retreat at that time? What if Yuan Shao suddenly kills us?" Zhao Yun asked.
"Haha, it's best to kill him. It's no problem to cheat him with tens of thousands of troops. With 20 sets of equipment, we can let the Liaodong garrison take off part of the equipment. There is no need for our main battle army to take off a piece of equipment. How can I It will put your soldiers in danger," Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu started to make arrangements, and when the time came, he would create the illusion that his side was retreating due to lack of equipment.
Zhang Yu would let the soldiers take off their weapons and equipment in public and hand them over to Xu You and the others, but they changed into the main battle equipment as soon as they left, re-armed, and then ambush in the rear.
If Yuan Shao wanted to take the opportunity to attack them, then Zhang Yu and the others could ambush Yuan Jun, at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would be killed.
However, Zhang Yu reckoned that Yuan Shao did not dare to attack Zhang Yu at this time, fearing that Zhang Yu would fight him to the death, and Qingzhou would be in danger by then.
Zhang Yu entertained Xu You for two days. Xu You had basically settled the matter, but he deliberately created the illusion that the negotiation was difficult for Yuan Shao.
He communicated with Yuan Shao several times, stated many conditions, and reported the progress of the negotiations.
Of course, Xu You was very smart. He originally wanted to increase the price by [-]%, but Xu You's letter to Yuan Shao actually stated that Zhang Yushiliu wanted to increase the price by [-]%, but Xu You later bargained down to [-]%.
In the end, Yuan Shao agreed to the condition, and Zhang Yu reluctantly agreed, and then Xu You brokered the deal.
Undoubtedly, on Yuan Shao's side, Xu You made great efforts to complete this task.
Zhang Yu ordered people to go to Liaodong to bring the equipment back when Xu You first came here, and they will arrive in a few days.
The two sides set a deal in ten days.
Yuan Shao also urgently raised funds, but his fundraising went smoothly. He directly asked the big families in Youzhou to borrow money, and promised benefits, and promised to send the money from Jizhou to return them in a few days.
When Xu You went back two days later, Zhang Yu gave him tens of thousands of gold and silver coins, which made Xu You happy.
Zhang Yu was also happy, but he didn't expect that Xu Youke was really a money-giving boy and actually let Zhang Yu sell it for [-]% more.
Xu You is not stupid, but very smart. He also knows that Zhang Yu is not telling the truth, but he doesn't care. He can benefit from both sides. As for who suffers and who takes advantage, it has nothing to do with him.
When Xu You went back, Yuan Shao received him grandly.
This made Xu You very proud, and he began to feel embarrassed among several of Yuan Shao's staff.
After the banquet, Yuan Shao held another meeting the next day.
"Everyone, if Zhang Yu really took off the soldiers' weapons and equipment and sold them to us, shall we take the opportunity to kill them, or use this to retreat and support Qingzhou?"
This problem has troubled Yuan Shao for many days. Undoubtedly, this is an opportunity, or it may be messed up, making himself more passive.
Guo Tu came out and said: "Lord, the most difficult thing for us to determine is whether Zhang Yu really asked the soldiers to take off their equipment, or did he do it to show us and want to ambush us?"
Guo Tu, this is complete nonsense, and everyone understands this truth.
Seeing the contemptuous eyes of others, Guo Tu didn't feel blushed, but continued to say: "To confirm this issue, I have to trouble Mr. Xu. This transaction was facilitated by Mr. Xu. I think Mr. Xu has a way to confirm it."
Guo Tu originally wanted to embarrass Xu You.
This time Xu You made such a great achievement, which made Guo Tu and others extremely jealous, especially that Yuan Shao did reward Xu You heavily.
Naturally, there will be no shortage of money, and Xu You's house and land are still given in Jizhou, which is too enviable.
Xu You glanced at Guo Tu indifferently. He knew that others would be jealous, but he didn't care at all.
Xu You stood up and said: "At first, this Zhang Yu was just greedy for money and lustful, but he was nothing at all. What he sold was infantry equipment, and he also had 10,000+ cavalry, so even if he really took off the soldiers' weapons and equipment, Come down, he still has 10,000+ cavalry, and his cavalry will definitely ambush us by then."
"Even though we can defeat Zhang Yu, we cannot completely eliminate them. When Zhang Yu recruits more soldiers, our army will not be able to retreat at all."
Yuan Shao was helpless, and finally decided to give up ambush Zhang Yu, and he took Wen Chou and the [-] army back first, preparing to preside over the recovery of Qingzhou.
A few days later, the two sides began trading.
Xu You got a big reward, so he contacted the two parties very actively.
In the end, the transaction went smoothly, and Zhang Yu asked the soldiers to take off their weapons and equipment in front of Xu You and the people he brought hundreds of people to trade with.
The two parties traded for two days and divided into several transactions to complete all the transactions.
"Unfortunately, this Yuan Shao is so scared that he didn't dare to take the opportunity to kill them." After lying in wait for a long time, Yuan Jun didn't want to beat them, which made Zhang Yu feel very sorry.
Fortunately, the transaction went smoothly, and Zhang Yu sold 2000 million sets of equipment.
It just happens to be able to govern the place and recruit soldiers and horses.
The territory of two counties has been newly obtained, and the conditions of these two counties are not bad. The conditions of Changli County and Youbeiping County are relatively good.
Zhang Yu has an additional population of more than 300 million, and he can recruit soldiers and horses from these populations.
Zhang Yu retreated the army. Of course, the 10,000+ army was reorganized and trained in Youbeiping to prevent Yuan Jun from coming.
However, at this time, Yuan's army had already retreated one after another, and several generals withdrew, and then headed towards Qingzhou.
"Haha, this Cao Cao is quite capable. He even attacked two-thirds of Qingzhou, but he will soon find out that this Yuan Shao is a huge monster, and he will bring his army back soon. In the end, Cao Cao will still be driven out. From Qingzhou." Zhang Yu said with a big laugh.
