Chapter 537: Yuan Shao was still cowardly

Zhang Yu didn't know what Xu Yu had fooled Yuan Shao into.

However, these 200,000 sets of equipment are really cost-effective, and Yuan Shao also took the initiative to increase the money by one percent.

Zhang Yu deliberately embarrassed and said: "Lord Xu, if I take off 100,000 sets of weapons and equipment, then I will be in danger here, although I want to make money, I can't ignore safety." ”

Seeing Zhang Yu's heart, Xu Yu continued: "That's not simple, I'll go back and persuade Ben Chu to withdraw when the time comes, you also know that Qingzhou was invaded, and Ben Chu was also in a hurry to go back." ”

"That's the case, and I know it, it's just that the two sides are like this, and it's hard to trust each other." Zhang Yu said.

"The price is increasing by one percent, and then I let Ben withdraw 50,000 first, what do you think?" Xu Yu said.

Zhang Yu didn't think about it, and immediately said: "Okay, if this is really the case, then this deal can be concluded." ”

Zhang Yu continued: "If you have money, you can say anything, as long as Yuan Shao raises all the money, you can trade it." ”

Xu You finally reassured that this deal was facilitated by him, and it could solve Yuan Shao's two big problems, so it is needless to say that this credit is naturally due.

Xu Yu was very happy, toasted again and again, and wanted to get drunk with Zhang Yu.

The two drank a lot of wine, and in the end, of course, Xu Yu got drunk.

Arrange Xu Yu down, Zhang Yu summoned a few generals.

"Lord, will we really withdraw from the army then? What if Yuan Shao suddenly kills him? Zhao Yun asked.

"Haha, it's best to kill him, it's no problem to pit his tens of thousands of troops, 200,000 sets of equipment, we can let the Liaodong garrison take off some of the equipment, we don't need our main battle army to take off a piece of equipment at all, how can I put my soldiers in danger." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu began to arrange, and when the time came, he created the illusion that his side would retreat because he had no equipment.

Zhang Yu would take off the soldiers' weapons and equipment in public and hand them to Xu You, but as soon as they left, they immediately changed into their main battle equipment, rearmed, and then ambushed in the rear.

If Yuan Shao wanted to take the opportunity to attack them, then Zhang Yu and the others could ambush Yuan's army, at least tens of thousands of their soldiers and horses.

However, Zhang Yu estimated that Yuan Shao did not dare to attack Zhang Yu at this time, for fear that Zhang Yu would fight him to the death, and then Qingzhou would be in danger.

Zhang Yu entertained Xu You for two days, Xu You had actually basically negotiated the matter, but he deliberately created the illusion that it was difficult for Yuan Shao to negotiate.

He corresponded with Yuan Shao several times, and then said many conditions and reported the progress of the negotiations.

Of course, Xu You was very smart, and he originally raised the price by 20%, but in Xu You's letter to Yuan Shao, Zhang Yu opened his mouth to increase the price by 50%, and was later cut into 20% by Xu You.

In the end, Yuan Shao agreed to this condition, and Zhang Yu reluctantly agreed, and then Xu You facilitated the deal.

Undoubtedly, Xu Yu was on Yuan Shao's side, and he did his best to complete this task.

Zhang Yu ordered someone to go to Liaodong to pull the equipment over as early as when Xu Yu came for the first time, and he could arrive in a few days.

The two sides are scheduled to trade in 10 days.

Yuan Shao also urgently raised funds, but his fundraising was quite smooth, and he directly borrowed money from the major families in Youzhou, and promised benefits, promising to transport money from Jizhou to them in a few days.

Two days later, Xu You went back, and Zhang Yu gave him tens of thousands of gold and silver coins, which made Xu Youle bloom.

Zhang Yu was also happy, but he didn't expect Xu Yu to be really a fortune boy, and he actually let Zhang Yu sell it for an extra 20% price.

Xu Yu is not stupid, but very smart, he also knows that Zhang Yu is not telling the truth, but he doesn't care, he can benefit from both sides, as for who suffers and who takes advantage of him, it has nothing to do with him.

Xu You went back, and Yuan Shao received him ceremoniously.

This made Xu You very proud, and he began to get nervous among several of Yuan Shao's staff.

After the banquet, the next day, Yuan Shao held another meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if Zhang Yu really takes off the soldiers' weapons and equipment and sells them to us, will we take the opportunity to kill them at that time, or will we take this opportunity to withdraw from the army and support Qingzhou?"

This question has plagued Yuan Shao for many days, and undoubtedly, this is an opportunity, or it may have messed up and made himself more passive.

Guo Tu came out and said: "Lord, the most difficult thing for us to determine is whether Zhang Yu really asked the soldiers to take off their equipment, or did he show us and wanted to ambush us?" ”

Guo Tu: This is complete nonsense, everyone understands this truth.

Guo Tu didn't blush when he saw the contemptuous eyes of others, but continued: "If you want to determine this problem, you have to trouble Lord Xu, this transaction Lord Xu single-handedly facilitated, presumably Lord Xu has a way to determine it." ”

This Guo Tu originally wanted to embarrass him.

This time, Xu You made such a great achievement, which made Guo Tu and others extremely red-eyed, especially this Yuan Shao did give Xu You a heavy reward.

Naturally, there will be no shortage of money or anything, and Xu You's house and land are also given in Jizhou, which is too eye-catching.

Xu You glanced at Guo Tu lightly, he had long known that others would be red-eyed, but he didn't care at all.

Xu You stood up and said: "Originally, this Zhang Yu was just greedy for money and lustful, but he didn't do anything at all, he sold infantry equipment, and he still had more than 100,000 cavalry, so even if he really took off the soldier's weapons and equipment, he still had more than 100,000 cavalry, and his cavalry would definitely ambush us at that time." ”

"Even if we can win against Zhang Yu, we can't completely destroy them, and when the time comes, Zhang Yu will recruit more soldiers and horses, and our army will not be able to retreat at all."

Yuan Shao was helpless, and finally decided to give up ambushing Zhang Yu, and he went back with Wen Chou and 50,000 troops first, preparing to preside over the recovery of Qingzhou.

A few days later, the two sides began trading.

Xu You has a heavy reward, and he is very active in contacting both sides.

In the end, the transaction went smoothly, and Zhang Yu asked the soldiers to take off their weapons and equipment and hand them over to them in front of Xu Yu and his people with hundreds of people to trade.

It took two days for the two sides to complete the transaction, which was divided into several transactions.

"It's a pity that this Yuan Shao was instigated, and he didn't dare to take the opportunity to kill him." After lying in ambush for a long time, Yuan Jun didn't want to fight them, which made Zhang Yu feel very pity.

But fortunately, the transaction went well, and Zhang Yu sold 20 million sets of equipment.

Just enough to govern the place, and there are conscription soldiers and horses.

The territory of two new counties has been acquired, and the situation of these two counties is not bad, Changli County and Youbeiping County are in better condition.

Zhang Yu has an additional population of more than three million, and he can recruit soldiers and horses from these populations.

Zhang Yu retreated the army, of course, hundreds of thousands of troops were reorganized and trained in Youbeiping to prevent Yuan's army from killing.

However, at this time, the Yuan army had retreated one after another, and several generals retreated, and then killed Qingzhou.

"Haha, this Cao Cao is still quite capable, and he actually attacked two-thirds of Qingzhou, but he will soon find out that this Yuan Shao is a behemoth, and he will soon lead the army to kill back, and in the end Cao Cao will still be driven out of Qingzhou." Zhang Yu said with a laugh.
