Chapter 624: Open Blackmail

Dong Zhao was very anxious, which would make Cao Cao fall into great passivity.

Especially Zhang Yu's ability to toss, he will definitely toss so much that Cao Cao has to move the capital.

The relocation of the capital is definitely a big deal, the shift of the center of gravity, the rearrangement of the army, this is a big deal.

Zhang Yu's counterattack was too ruthless, and it suddenly poked Cao Cao's sore spot.

If Liu Xie does not move the capital, then Zhang Yu will not respect him as the Son of Heaven, and as soon as others follow suit, this Son of Heaven will be of no use.

If the capital is moved, the cost will be too great, Cao Cao must come out of his lair, and his control over the territory will drop a lot.

Originally, he was there, Yuan Shao couldn't break through Yanzhou, and the families in the Chenliu area were only respected by the Cao family and the Xiahou family, but as soon as he left, his control over these would definitely weaken.

For Zhang Yu, the revenge has only begun now, step by step.

He presided over the restoration and reconstruction work in Shenyang City, which was not greatly damaged by the Xiongnu, because they could not attack at all, and the most important thing was the loss of soldiers.

In addition, places such as Youbeiping County, which was attacked by Yan Liang, were more affected and needed to be dealt with.

"Money money, money, money, and no money, the pension alone cost tens of millions, repairing the city wall, recruiting soldiers and horses, and replenishing all kinds of materials..."

With this calculation, the "treasury" was depleted.

There is no money, nothing can be done, Zhang Yu has to get money first.

Where to get the money?

The enemy gets it, so that the money comes the fastest.

Zhang Yu immediately asked Xi Zhicai to speed up the sale of prisoners.

Before and after, Zhang Yu captured about 150,000 Yuan Jun, which can be used well and sold for a good price.

And Zhang Yu did a lot of damage, he asked Xi Zhicai to directly issue announcements in various parts of Jizhou.

It is not to write a letter to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao wants to get news from the people and from public channels.

This allowed him to get the news later than the average person.

The ordinary people have gotten the news, and he dares not to ransom these people back?

If he does not redeem him, the people will not turn against him.

"Shameless, shameless..."Yuan Shao felt that he had been kidnapped by Zhang Yu, and he was particularly angry.

"The prisoners are separated from the equipment, the total price of the captives is 30 million, and the total price of the equipment is 20 million, Zhang Yu is going to rob it." Yuan Shao looked at Zhang Yu and said angrily at the announcement they posted.

Captives are actually worthless, in Yuan Shao's opinion, as for weapons and equipment, they are indeed worth the price.

But Zhang Yu offered such an offer, he could only ask for people first, and then equipment, otherwise what would the people think of him.

What made Yuan Shao unbearable was that Zhang Yu actually used this way to inform him and directly roasted him on the fire.

On the day the news came out, there was a problem with Yuan Shao's newly recruited 300,000 troops during training.

These recruits have been greatly affected, and even his veterans have been affected to varying degrees.

Yuan Shao must not deal with it immediately.

Now he has no money, and the landlord's family is also poor.

He has just experienced such a big war, and now he has recruited 300,000 soldiers and horses, and he is also short of money.

But he had a way to make it up, but it was not pleasant for anyone to make it up to the enemy.

Yuan Shao summoned his subordinates, and then said to everyone: "Zhang Yu is a scoundrel, a scoundrel. ”

Everyone also felt that there was something wrong with Zhang Yu's approach, and announced it directly through public channels, which made Yuan Shao unable to deal with it.

Zhang Yu didn't follow the rules at all.

"Lord, this Zhang Yu is completely a scoundrel, asking for a price, but it doesn't matter, we can pay back the money on the ground." Xu You came out and said.

Xu You had a little calculation in his heart, the last time he traded, Xu You pulled the line from it, but he made a lot of money, and Zhang Yu also gave him a lot of money through other methods afterwards.

Therefore, this time Xu You specially said good things for Zhang Yu, and more importantly, Xu You has the "credit" of the last time, and I want to let myself out of this negotiation, so that I can get more benefits when the time comes.

Yuan Shao nodded, and asked his staff to write to Zhang Yu immediately.

The next day, before the letter was delivered, Yuan Shao received another infuriating news.

"I, Zhang Yu, am not ashamed of Yuan Shao's aid, and Yuan Shao attacked behind his back when he was a Konka Hun, so he cut off all contacts with Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao has remorse, he can publish the information through public channels, but I may not forgive him. ”

This is the news released by Zhang Yu through "civil" channels.

The so-called non-governmental channels are through the dissemination of information.

cut off all contacts, that is, Zhang Yu didn't even let Yuan Shao come as a messenger.

Want to bargain? You're going to find someone too.

Through non-governmental channels, that is, Yuan Shao publicly released the news, how can this be bargained.

Tell the people that 30 million of these soldiers is too expensive, should it be cheaper?

The people did not pick up weapons to oust Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao heard the news, and his face was black all the time.

Zhang Yu is too shameless.

This made Yuan Shao in a dilemma, either honestly pay the ransom, or not redeem the captives.

But now, can Yuan Shao not redeem these hundreds of thousands of people?

Obviously, it is to be redeemed, and it is not possible not to redeem it.

But being blackmailed by Zhang Yu like this, Yuan Shao was very unhappy.

Yuan Shao summoned the ministers again.

"Everyone, whoever has the means, I will reward 100 catties of gold and silver." Yuan Shao directly took out a heavy reward.

When everyone heard the heavy award, their eyes lit up, but after a while, everyone's fanatical eyes went out, and they didn't dare to look at Yuan Shao.

There is really no way to do this, Zhang Yu doesn't even negotiate, even if he has a three-inch tongue, it's useless.

After a while, Xu You stood up and said: "Lord, your subordinates can give it a try, and your subordinates can use their personal relationships to talk to Zhang Yu, but what is the bottom line of the lord?" ”

Yuan Shao originally wanted to get angry when he saw everyone's appearance, but at this time Xu You stood up.

Yuan Shao suddenly remembered that last time Xu Yu also went out and won some benefits for himself.

In fact, what he didn't know was that if Xu Yu hadn't come out, he wouldn't have to pay so much money.

"Let me think about it." Yuan Shao said.

Yuan Shao dispersed the meeting and called Xu You, Fu Zhu, Xun Yu, Tian Feng, Guo Tu and the judge to his study.

Bottom lineThis kind of thing is really not suitable for publicity, and it will be troublesome for too many people to know about it.

Several people went to Yuan Shao's study.

After entering, Yuan Shao asked: "If you don't redeem the soldiers, it will inevitably cause public anger, but you can't let Zhang Yu rob like this, how do you say we should set the bottom line and negotiate with Zhang Yu." ”

"Lord, it's good to give 10 million, Zhang Yu is so open-mouthed, don't pay attention to it at all, it's a big deal, we don't want it, let Zhang Yu not get a penny, as for the people, they have been delaying, and after a long time, they will get used to it." Guo Tu said.

Guo Tu is jealous, last time Xu You negotiated, not only made a lot of money, but also was more reused by Yuan Shao, so if he succeeded again this time, then Xu You would be even more arrogant, so Guo Tu didn't want Xu You to succeed.

What Guo Tu said is also a way, but it is not a good way.

Tian Feng said: "Lord, if Zhang Yu doesn't let go, we can redeem a small part first on the grounds that we don't have money, and the people will naturally understand the lord's difficulties when they see it." ”

Tian Feng's method is much more clever.
