The two sides fought, and Zhang Yu made a fortune.

Soon Zhang Yu finally had news of Emperor Liu Xie, who was still in Chang'an and was controlled by Li Dao and Guo Yan.

originally thought that the emperor and his ministers would be exiled to Luoyang in advance, but it didn't.

As in history, Liu Xie was still trapped in Chang'an.

After Zhang Yu learned the exact news, he immediately sent someone to find Li Dao and Guo Yan, discussed with them, promised some benefits, and made it clear that Zhang Yu could support them if they needed anything in the future.

And Li Dao Guo Yan wanted Liu Xie to make a holy decree so that he could mint coins.

Zhang Yu asked the Empress Dowager He to make an edict, so that Zhang Yu's coinage would be legal.

Zhang Yu, who had no worries, immediately made a lot of copper coins.

If you use all the materials you have now, you can cast as much as you can.

And gold coins and silver coins have been minted in a batch.

The gold and silver coins minted by the forging press are very beautiful.

"Now the difference is only copper mines, only some small copper mines are found, the output is limited, and it is useless to mint a few million." Zhang Yu said.

Minting millions sounds like a lot, but the value of copper coins is limited after all, and if they are divided, there will be no more copper coins in the hands of a common person.

How to get more copper ore has become Zhang Yu's top priority.

This is related to the economic prosperity of the whole territory.

"It turns out that there are still many copper mines that have been developed in Dahan, and it would be a good choice if they could be utilized."

Zhang Yu stared at the copper mine that had already been discovered by the Great Han.

Many copper mines have been abandoned.

The princes did not dare to mint copper coins openly at this time, so they would not waste manpower and material resources to mine this copper mine.

But Zhang Yu is different, Zhang Yu dares to mint copper coins publicly, so they don't dare to ask for it, they can sell it to Zhang Yu.

So Zhang Yu began to look for copper mines in many places in Dahan, and as long as they were allowed to resume production, they could provide copper mines.

Zhang Yu sent people to negotiate with the princes to buy their copper mines.

Some of the princes immediately agreed, and for this reason, Zhang Yu also sent a sum of money first, so that they could rest assured, and they were not afraid that Zhang Yu would regret it.

Others understand it this way, but Zhang Yu's understanding is different, he uses the thoughts of the old beauty of later generations to understand.

If you don't give the goods after receiving the money, I can beat you, which is not only to give the other party a peace of mind, but also to Zhang Yu.

If the other party repents, he will have a name to hit the other party.

Except for a few big princes who are not afraid, many princes are actually still very afraid of Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu's previous achievements are there, dare to eat Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu will definitely dare to attack them.

Time was in a hurry, Zhang Yu vigorously developed, and the cause of Liaodong prospered.

The princes also had a great development, because there was enough food and enough population, and of course the princes could equip a large number of troops.

Liu Bei of Luoyang sharpened his knives at this time and was planning to do something big.

What is he going to do?

Jia Xu told him that after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Dao fought a big battle with Guo Yan and Lu Bu, and both sides suffered huge losses.

At this time, Chang'an's army was only about 1120,000, and it was divided into two parts.

At this time, Liu Bei already had 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there were two generals, Jia Xu asked Liu Bei to attack Chang'an, control Liu Xie, and then rely on Chang'an and Luoyang to lay the foundation of the overlord.

"Mr. Wenhe, you are really a virtuous person, and you are my son's room." Liu Bei said happily.

Liu Bei was very excited at this time, Chang'an was empty, and it was the time for him to show his strength.

However, Jia Xu said: "100,000 soldiers and horses can indeed attack Chang'an if they are properly operated, but they must also wait for the opportunity, this is not the best time, if you want to attack Chang'an at this time, you can unite with Liu Biao or Yuan Shao, they are very interested in attacking Chang'an." ”

If you attack Chang'an, you can gain great prestige and fame, and you can even master the Son of Heaven, and anyone will be tempted.

And Liu Biao, as a member of the Han family, if he can do it, the benefits will be huge, and Yuan Shao, as the former leader of the alliance, if so, can take the opportunity to command the world, which will also be good for him.

Liu Bei promised to plan carefully, and then sent Jia Xu away very politely.

After Jia Xu left, Liu Bei's mind began to come alive.

"Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family, and so am I, if I attack Chang'an with him, he will get his name."

"Cooperate with Yuan Shao, I will become Yuan Shao's subordinate, and when the time comes, the majority of the benefits will be obtained by Yuan Shao, and I will contribute the most."

Liu Bei is good at calculation, and after some calculations, he feels that he is losing money.

No matter who you work with, you can only play a supporting role.

Liu Biao's prestige is not comparable to Liu Bei, and when the time comes, people in the world will only think that Liu Biao defeated Chang'an, and Yuan Shao's prestige is even greater than Liu Biao.

"No, then I'll fight Chang'an by myself."

Jia Xu returned to his room, and his mind began to move.

"Liu Bei is a good person, scheming, and perseverance, being able to get to this point shows that he is extraordinary, but this time he is afraid that he will be defeated in the battle of Chang'an, and I can't follow Liu Bei to escape."

Jia Xu had long seen that Liu Bei would not unite with Liu Biao or Yuan Shao, and he was in a hurry for quick success and quick profit, so he couldn't wait for the opportunity slowly.

In fact, Liu Bei is the most patient person, but at this time in good times, the ambitions of refugees are too inflated.

Liu Bei began to prepare for an attack on Chang'an.

In Chang'an, Li Dao and Guo Yan each have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so there is a relationship of interest, and there is no way to avoid increasingly conflicts.

Historically, the contradictions between the two could not be reconciled, and finally led to a major war.

Not to mention Liu Bei and Chang'an, the other princes are also actively expanding their strength, and the next round of war may break out at any time.

And Zhang Yu is also ready for everything.

Needless to say, Liaodong is here, and he is watching it personally.

On the side of Huiji County, a large piece of territory was newly obtained, and the strength of the army was expanded and the local governance was also greatly increased.

The information is constantly gathered to Zhang Yu's side.

Two months later, Liu Bei, who couldn't hold back, finally raised troops to attack Chang'an.

For a while, the world was watching, and everyone turned their eyes here.

Because Luoyang and Chang'an are of great significance.

Chang'an is the imperial capital at this time, and Luoyang is the former imperial capital.

And the battle between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan has received little attention.

However, at this time, Zhang Yu paid close attention and spent most of his time with Guo Jia.

After Guo Jia obtained the information, he began to analyze.

"My lord, it can be determined that Yuan Shao is also ready, and once the situation changes, he will immediately intervene." Guo Jia said to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu nodded and said: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, we are not directly facing Yuan Shao at this time, let Gongsun Chan help us bear it first, and we will develop the place first." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu's current strategic focus is to develop territory, and it is not yet time to develop the military, so he doesn't want to fight Yuan Shao directly.
