Cao Cao thought about it alone in the big tent for a long time, and finally called Cheng Yu over.

"Zhongde, the situation is not good now, Zhang Yu seems to be so unscrupulous as if he has eaten us." Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu knew in their hearts that now their grain and grass could only support more than ten days, and it was obviously not so easy to break through Xuzhou in ten days, because Zhang Yu was there.

"Lord, no matter what, we have to fight for some interests, if the land is not available, it can be the population, and if the population is not good, we can learn from Zhang Yu to loot, but we can't do it like Zhang Yu, offend the family in the world, we can't afford to offend." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao agreed with Cheng Yu's statement in his heart, but he couldn't show it, because if Cao Cao wavered, then the army would be affected.

In this way, Cao Cao also thought that it was difficult to break through Xuzhou, and he could not take any risks.

Cao Cao motioned for Cheng Yu to continue.

"There is not much to say about the migrating people, what the subordinates want to say is the family, we can mobilize our relationship and persuade these families to move to our territory, the land of the four wars in Xuzhou, although rich, but destined to not be able to hold, I believe that there will be a family willing."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he nodded in acquiescence to Cheng Yu's statement.

Cheng Yu continued: "The lord might as well send someone to secretly contact Zhang Yu, you can play a double reed with him, and let him give up some of his interests." ”

Cao Cao immediately shook his head and said: "Zhang Yu is a personal essence, once he finds out from us, he will not come back to us for benefits." ”

Cheng Yu has nothing to say, according to Zhang Yu's character, this is completely done.

Cao Cao began to besiege but not attack, and Zhang Yu walked around the city on the first day and left.

However, Dian Wei often patrolled the city to show his presence.

As for Gao Shun, he has been training since he entered the city.

After Zhang Yu appeared on the first day, he said to everyone: "Cao Cao didn't attack the city, no one should go to him." ”

In this way, Zhang Yu lived in the Mi family, and there was nothing to do in the Mi family.

But Mi Zhu is obviously very busy.

He runs every day on both sides of the state and his home.

When Mi Zhu came back that day, one of his disciples came to him.

"The head of the house, the matter you asked me to investigate has already had some results." The doorman said...

Mi Zhu remembered what he had told him, looked left and right, and no one noticed, so he took the guest to the study.

When he arrived at the study, Mi Zhu sat down, and then said: "I asked me to investigate the situation in Huiji County and Liaodong County, it has only been a few days, how can there be progress?" ”

Mi Zhu became curious about Zhang Yu and wanted to invest in him, but this must first investigate him, so Mi Zhu arranged for people to go to Huiji and Liaodong and other places to investigate.

Mi Zhu's investigation focused on several counties in Yangzhou to see if it was as Zhang Yu said.

"Family master, before Zhang Yu asked you for a lot of manpower to go to Liaodong to help him govern the place, two months ago, there was an official who was a county magistrate in Liaodong, because his mother passed away, came back to guard filial piety, we got a lot of information you need from him." The doorman said.

Mi Zhu was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Great, this can save us a lot of time, how much does he know?" ”

"The head of the family, he knows a lot, and even knows a lot about things in Yangzhou, because there are fleets between Yangzhou and Youzhou in a few days, and a lot of news is public, and it is easy to find out." The doorman said.

Mi Zhu happily walked around the study, then stopped and said, "You arranged, I want to meet him in person to understand some information." ”

The man was in the city after the battle, and an hour later Mi Zhu saw the man in his study.

"The head of the family, because of the mourning, he didn't come back to see the ceremony, don't blame me." The doorman said.

"You're welcome, when you were asked to go to Liaodong, our Mi family treated you badly." Mi Zhu said.

The man didn't feel badly treated at all, but was glad that he was a county magistrate in Liaodong, and Zhang Yu gave him good treatment, and he was able to display his talents.

If you are in the Mi family, you can only continue to be a doorman who eats and waits for death, and it is difficult to have any development.

After all, the Mi family is not a force, but a family, and there is a big difference.

After saying the kind words, he said: "I came to you to learn something about you." ”

Mi Zhu said what he wanted to know.

"Family master, these are not difficult things to hear, and the officials under Zhang Yu basically know about them."

"The population of Yizhou is more than one million, and General Zhang did not deal with specific things, so he received the news relatively late, and now Yizhou has a population of more than two million. Nowadays, a large number of fleets come and go every day in Huiji County, and a large number of islands are found in the southeastern region, some of which are very large. ”

"The development of Huiji and Liaodong has long exceeded the imagination of the world, Zhang Yu dares to be the enemy of the world's family, his confidence is not only these, the most important thing is talent, after several years of operation, Huiji can provide a large number of talents every year, and talents are developing towards senior talents."

The guest told Mi Zhu about the development of Zhang Yu's forces now, and Mi Zhu was greatly shocked when he heard it.

No one knew that Zhang Yu had already set up a huge stall on the two edges.

At this time, Mi Zhu knew that Zhang Yu actually had dozens of fleets, coming and going to various places every day.

It was also the first time I knew that there was so much land overseas.

For the first time, I knew that the most bad thing about him was that he offended all the families and was destined to have no talents.

Without talent, no matter how big the territory is, no matter how many troops there are, it will collapse.

But this time Mi Zhu learned that Zhang Yu had established a talent training system early.

It's very scary to have a huge population, a huge investment, and after a few years, to offer hundreds of talents every day.

As time goes on, there will only be more and more talent.

At this time, Mi Zhu had to pay attention to Zhang Yulai.

At this time, Mi Zhu's concept of Zhang Yu completely changed.

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Yu has long had a comprehensive consideration of the territory, and he has foresight more than anyone else.

The world is prejudiced against Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu has quietly developed to such an extent that he has potential more than anyone else, so Mi Zhu naturally wants to consider investing in Zhang Yu.

Sending off the doorman, Mi Zhu was shut in the study by himself to consider.

"Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu, you are really hiding deep enough, I'm afraid no one can see your true potential at this time."

Mi Zhu was glad that he had discovered the difference in Zhang Yu's forces earlier.

In addition to offending people everywhere, Zhang Yu didn't expand much, but they didn't know that Zhang Yu had been expanding, one side to the south, that is, the Guangdong region of Fujian, and the other to the east, overseas.

If other princes want to expand, they have to invest huge troops and huge consumption, but Zhang Yu's expansion does not use sword soldiers, but also produces benefits continuously.

If it weren't for the fact that Huiji and Liaodong were both marginal areas before, and the foundation was too poor, Zhang Yu would have been a hegemon at this time.

"You must take this opportunity to win over Zhang Yu." Mi Zhu said with determination.
