Cai Mao's attitude towards Zhang Yu is not surprising at all, Zhang Yu is too powerful, there are so many states and counties at once, he is already the first prince, and he has already been called the emperor.

After Cao Cao's defeat, no one could stop him.

At this time, Zhang Yu developed rapidly, training troops everywhere, losing hundreds of thousands, and he had recovered before a winter had passed.

Although there is a gap in combat power, the difference in strength will not be too big.

In winter, Zhang Yu had no plans to go to war.

The south, on the other hand, has been mobilizing grain and grass.

The winter in the south will not be too cold, and the grain and grass harvested will be transported to various places by Zhang Yu.

Mainly Yuzhou and Yanzhou, which may become a battlefield in the future, reserve grain and grass in advance.

Speaking of Cao Cao, after he failed, he was seriously injured, and after being sent to Luoyang, his condition worsened.

was already injured, couldn't get rest on the way, and came back with a bumpy road, almost killing half of his life.

Cao Cao was seriously ill, and the entire force was on the defensive.

Cao Ang was temporarily in power.

He summoned several important advisors of the Cao Group, but there was no Xun Yu among them.

Xun You was originally one of his most relied on advisors, but the last time the Xun family happened, Cao Ang had to exclude him from the core.

This Xun You was actually under house arrest, and his ordinary life had no impact, but when he went out, someone followed him, and he couldn't leave Luoyang City.

This time, if Xun Yu is like Xun Yu, it will have too much impact on them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Yu is already powerful, he controls half of the country, and they are all rich lands, so we have a chance to fight out." Cao Ang asked.

Cheng Yu came out and said: "Eldest prince, Zhang Yu is wise and has capable people under him, it is not easy to be practical, so our strategy should be based on defense and wait for opportunities." ”

Jia Xu also said: "Defense, can consume the enemy to the maximum, Zhang Yu is a person, with huge ambitions, he will definitely want to unify Huaxia, if he is reckless, we will have a chance to fight out." ”

Several of the strategists agreed to defend and then looked for opportunities to play out.

But Cao Ang knew that it was difficult, as long as Zhang Yu was alive, there was basically no possibility of fighting.

Zhang Yu will not be reckless.

Although he has great ambitions, he has endured not to expand in order to develop the economy and develop his strength.

Now that everything has developed, he is strong, even if he is ruthless, it is not something that Cao Ang and their current strength can hold.

After thinking about it, Cao Ang said: "I will try my best to convince my father to form a state of separation, and then wait for the opportunity." ”

The most important thing for Cao Ang now is to calm people's hearts, this defeat, everyone knows that Zhang Yu has an all-round advantage.

Cao Ang and they have no good way to do it, but try to maintain the current situation.

In fact, they have a great advantage, because there are two big cities before Chang'an and Luoyang, which also have a large population and develop rapidly.

As for Zhang Yu, braved the wind and snow and returned to Beiping.

Now that the matter has come to an end temporarily, Zhang Yu has to hurry back to discuss the next strategy.

On the way, Zhang Yu specifically inquired about the situation in Jiaozhou.

"Sure enough, I was not disappointed, this Zhuge Liang took more than half a year to clean up the entire Jiaozhou, and now it is no longer a place outside the law, but completely under my control." Zhang Yu was very happy after receiving the report.

Many people who have committed crimes, or who have money, have gone to the port cities of Jiaozhou, or evade taxes, and then go extravagantly, or try to get away with it.

However, Zhuge Liang was very productive after he went.

With Ling Cao's help, Zhuge Liang started to do things very smoothly, especially with the support of Zhang Yu's large number of talents.

"If Jiaozhou develops, it will definitely be able to contribute a lot of wealth."

Zhang Yu learned about the financial situation again.

This year was naturally beyond his means, and after about nine months, a lot of wealth was consumed, and Zhang Yu's finances were empty.

But he was able to hold on and recover quickly.

Before the New Year, Zhang Yu finally returned to Beiping.

When Zhang Yu went back, he was not in a hurry to deal with government affairs, but asked the cabinet to prepare first, sort out the situation that should be reported first, and then he would go.

Zhang Yu came back and spent a few days with his wife and children.

After that, Zhang Yu held a meeting.

After entering the meeting, Zhang Yu sat at the top of the round table, and there were several cabinets on both sides, the difference was that two people were added to the minutes of the meeting this time.

These two people are not just anyone's job, because it will involve a lot of secrets, they must be high-level talents, and they may be reused elsewhere in the future.

"Okay, Zibu will report on the finances of our government first." Zhang Yu spoke first.

Zhang Zhao took out the prepared materials and said: "Lord, we will collect the tax this year, and after statistics, we can basically make up for the consumption of military spending, and now we owe tens of millions of dollars, which is not a big problem, and it will be repaid in less than a month." ”

In this war, hundreds of thousands of troops died, and I don't know how much this consumed, but now, the autumn harvest tax collection, plus other money, can be basically balanced, which has to be said to be a great miracle.

Military spending, Zhang Yu raised a lot before the war, and during the war, the cabinet did not move any major projects, so they saved some money.

After understanding, Zhang Yu knew it in his heart.

After that, Zhang Yu asked Gu Yong: "How much money can we use in Qianzhuang?" ”

"Lord, although there are a large number of families in Yanzhou and Yuzhou who have deposited money, we will also open the money in these two states immediately, and there will not be many of them."

Zhang Yu nodded, that is, he doesn't have much cash in his hands now, but he has a strong ability to make money, and there are more and more funds compared to overseas.

Developing, to the back, is a net benefit.

"Okay, the cabinet will arrange it immediately, and I will build a few roads."

Building roads is building roads again.

Zhang Yu said: "Jizhou and Yanzhou are both rich places, and the roads must be linked, and it is very important to mobilize troops and horses or economic development in the future." ”

"In the coming year, there will not be too much war, we must use a year to effectively link all the territories, develop well, and reserve talents."

"A year later, all the mechanisms will be completed, and then the war will be fought to the death, and if China is not unified, the war will not be easily stopped."

The cabinet has no opinion, they are developing too fast, and the talents can't keep up, and what Zhang Yu is most worried about is that the cabinet and the multi-departmental system can't play an effective role, and it must take time to sort it out.

Nowadays, the competent manpower of various departments is basically in place, but there are still many problems in implementation.

Zhang Yu asked the cabinet to slowly solve these problems in a year, reserve talents, and a year later it will be time for a big war.

The princes are also preparing intensively.

Sun Ce, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei were already preparing to be emperors, and Cai Mao was also planning to be kings.
