Zhang Yu did not plan to hunt down Yuan Shu, and in history, Yuan Shu was killed by Cao Cao halfway.

If he wasn't killed, it would be better, he could create some trouble for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the same time, so there was no need for Zhang Yu to chase and kill Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu is urine, go to Yuan Shao, and can't say anything if he doesn't do anything.

At the same time, Cao Cao must have been afraid that they would join forces and cause him great trouble.

"In the past few days, 300,000 displaced people have only been arranged, which is too slow." Zhang Yu has been dealing with other things since he entered the city, and the military affairs are completely handed over to his subordinates.

"My lord, after all, it is a battlefield, and war takes precedence." Gao Shun said.

Zhang Yu sighed and said: "We must speed up, and the removal of the displaced people will also help us quickly stabilize the battlefield, and most of these people will be sent to Fengxiaona." ”

Under the rule of Yuan Shu, the people were not able to make a living, and there were many displaced people.

This also caused Zhang Yu and them a lot of trouble, they needed a lot of troops to maintain order, and at the same time, they also produced a lot of bandits.

In this way, Zhang Yu naturally hopes to transfer the displaced people away as soon as possible, replenish overseas, and reduce his pressure at the same time.

However, in wartime, everything has wartime rules, and a large number of soldiers have to do other things, and they don't have time to deal with these things.

Although Zhang Yu deployed a large number of personnel to help, the number was huge and could not be dealt with in time.

For a few days, Zhang Yu has been grasping the problem of displaced people.

The changes on the battlefield Zhang Yu just paid attention to it, and there was no action for the time being.

After Sun Ce broke through Lu'an, he collected a part of the surrendered troops, and then strengthened the city, with very obvious intentions.

And Cao Ang has been besieging but not attacking, just cleaning up the perimeter and preparing for a big battle.

Cao Ang dispatched a large army, and there were many generals, and this time he wanted to solve Yuan Shu at one time.

The three parties had their own thoughts, but the battlefield still proceeded as Zhang Yu expected.

"There is a big shortage of food, so we collect food from the surrounding areas and deliver it to the strongholds along the road." Zhang Yu gave another order.

Several pro-soldiers who gave orders, as well as Gao Shun, came to assist him temporarily.

"My lord, in the short term, we can let the displaced people eat two meals a day, and they can not starve to death, and after crossing the Yangtze River, we will have enough food." Gao Shun suggested.

"It's okay, it's just that they're hungry, and their movement speed will be slower, so it's hard to take care of it." Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly and said.

Gao Shun hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's better to borrow some food." ”

Borrowing food? Sun Ce, Cao Ang or Yuan Shu?

Zhang Yu himself has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the grain and grass are enough, but now in wartime, even if he starves to death, Zhang Yu will not use military rations.

The battlefield can change at any time, there is no food and grass, and the morale of the army is unstable.

But now he has to bear the food of a large number of displaced people, so Zhang Yu can't get together so much food for a while.

"I'll try, send someone to send a letter to Sun Ce and Yuan Shu, and borrow food from them, what if they are willing to borrow it?" Zhang Yu said.

Just do it, Zhang Yu immediately wrote a letter, and the letter was written a little more urgently, in a semi-commanding tone.

"If we can borrow it, we can borrow it, it's just a hope, and we can continue to find a way to do it ourselves." Zhang Yu said.

It's too poor here, which Zhang Yu didn't expect.

All that can be harvested and scraped has been cleaned up by Yuan Shu, otherwise Zhang Yu can still rob it, and he can force those who have a large amount of grain to sell grain.

But now there is nothing.

Zhang Yu wrote two letters to borrow grain.

At the same time, Zhang Yu also tried his best to coordinate the others.

The credit is fast, and it will be delivered in less than two days.

After Sun Ce received the letter, he found Zhou Yu and said, "What does this Zhang Yu want to do?" When you ask us to borrow grain, do you know that we are hoarding grain and grass in Lu'an, making preparations, and specially coming to warn us? ”

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said: "He is indeed short of food, he has gathered a large number of displaced people, and he definitely needs food, but I have received some news that he has not used military rations, so it is really possible to kill two birds with one stone, and warn us by the way." ”

"We should contact Cao Ang to see if we can cooperate." Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu took the letter and nodded, and then said, "I won't lend him food for the time being, and I won't reply to the letter, let's see what happens later." ”

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu then began to discuss the attack on Shouchun City.

"The best way is for us to stand on three feet and restrain each other, Zhang Yu occupies Hefei City, we occupy Lu'an, and Shouchun is given to Cao Ang." Zhou Yu said.

Sun Ce nodded, and then said: "Shouchun City is undoubtedly the most valuable, let's let it out, don't fight, no matter what, let Cao Ang give us some other benefits." ”

Sun Ce was discussing with Zhou Yu, and Cao Ang also received the news.

Cao Ang called a few uncles, as well as Cheng Yu.

"Zhang Yu borrowed grain, what do you think of this?" Cao Ang asked.

"If you don't borrow it, why lend it to him, there is no return." Xiahoudun said angrily.

Cao Ren also said: "Eldest prince, if this Yuan Shu does not abandon the city and escape, I am afraid that we will have to fight for a long time, and it is possible to fight for several months, and the grain really cannot be borrowed." ”

Cao Ang did not express his opinion and looked at Cheng Yu.

"Borrow, 100,000 quintals of grain, although it has an impact on us, it is not big, and the rear will soon be able to transport it." Cheng Yu said.

"Borrow?" Cao Ang said in surprise.

"Yes, lend it to him, this will make Sun Ce misunderstand, thinking that we will unite with Zhang Yu, and some Sun Ce will be in a hurry at that time, maybe he will pay a higher price in order to win us over." Cheng Yu explained.

"Wonderful." Cao Ang clapped his hands and said: "Until now, the three of us have distrusted each other, which can be proved from Sun Ce's reaction after occupying Lu'an. ”

"Although Sun Ce is not weak, he and Zhang Yu are next to each other, and there is a large amount of territory close to each other, and he is most afraid that Zhang Yu will attack him. For his sake, working with us is the best option. ”

"But at this time, Sun Ce may still choose to wait for the price and sell, and will use Zhang Yu to put pressure on us, if we act first, Sun Ce will be completely at a disadvantage."

After Cao Ang understood, he analyzed and admired Cheng Yu very much.

Immediately, Cao Ang gave the order and acted in a high-profile manner.

When he sent the grain and grass, Sun Ce's letter arrived.

"Haha, Uncle Cheng, your guess is really right, this Sun Ce wants to unite with us to balance Zhang Yu." Cao Ang said happily after receiving the letter.

"This Sun Ce hasn't received the matter of us lending food to Zhang Yu, so there is no need to reply now, we haven't replied, he will be even more anxious." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Ang nodded, and then said, "What benefits should we ask him for?" ”

"The benefits don't need to be too much, just make up for our losses, of course, not too little, too little Sun Ce will be suspicious, the most important thing is that we have to use this matter to make the contradiction between Sun Ce and Zhang Yu on the bright side." Cheng Yu said.

On the bright side, sometimes it's hard to control.
