Several chief officials, including Guo Jia, arrived.

Gao Shun, Ling Cao, Zhou Cang, and Dian Wei, these are the four generals currently in Jiangdong.

Now, Zhang Yu and the others are ready, and the other princes have not yet completed the final preparations, Zhang Yu wants to know if it is possible to start in advance at this time.

"My lord, our army has been fully reorganized, and the 300,000-strong army can go out at any time." Ling Cao reported.

Zhang Yu nodded and looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia said: "My lord, Yuan Shu has deployed a lot of soldiers and horses along the Yangtze River, in order to prevent us from suddenly crossing the river and conducting large-scale operations, and we cannot make a sudden attack. ”

Large-scale river crossings, boats can be used, large pontoon bridges can be built, but the movement is very large.

Several people discussed for a while, but they couldn't make a surprise attack, so they could only sneak over tens of thousands of troops on the edge of the Yangtze River, and then fight a big battle.

This is obviously not what Zhang Yu wants, in this way, it is inevitable that the loss will be large.

"Lord, I think someone is more anxious than me, why don't you let Cao Cao do it first?" Guo Jia proposed.

Dian Wei was not happy when he heard it, and he looked forward to fighting early.

"Then if Cao Cao doesn't do it, we don't have to wait forever." Dian Wei said.

"Then we will force Cao Cao to fight." Guo Jia said.

Zhang Yu was interested, what plan did Guo Jia have, so he said: "Feng Xiao has any good plans, hurry up." ”

Guo Jia said: "My lord, now the prestige of Emperor Liu Xie has been hit hard, there are many people who claim to be kings from all sides, and there are more rebellions. ”

Rebellions in various places, coupled with Zhang Yu's previous article, is to tell everyone that the emperor can be changed at any time.

The emperor gradually lost his prestige, and the less he helped Cao Cao.

"Lord, we can claim to send troops to fight against Yuan Shu, and then count down the emperor's inaction, unworthy of being the emperor, and let him abdicate himself. If the emperor wants to continue to do it, this is the first major rebellion, Yuan Shu, who has already been called the emperor, has to crusade, if he doesn't crusade, then the emperor will be too useless. ”

Zhang Yu nodded and said: "That's right, forcing Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shu, but even if Yuan Shu is attacked, I'm afraid he won't relax his defense along the Yangtze River, after all, our threat is also huge." ”

"Lord, once Yuan Shu is attacked, he must not want to go to war on both sides, we can promise to sell him weapons and equipment, and offer a high price, when the time comes, Yuan Shu thinks that we only want to make money, we don't want to fight, there is a possibility of reconciliation, first reconcile with Yuan Shu, and then send troops to attack." Guo Jia said again.

"Okay, let's do it for the time being, in addition, I will transfer 50,000 sailors back, if there is a navy to cooperate, even if I forcibly cross the river, it will be no problem."

This battle must be fought, Zhang Yu is ready, just one time away.

Zhang Yu's actions were very fast, and he began to act the next day.

The army of 300,000 people, divided into three parts, moved closer to the Yangtze River.

Zhang Yu was huge, with flags all over the road, and propaganda everywhere.

"Crusade for the ancestors is not a minister, and the descendants are not filial, we will come to conquer."

"The royal family is inactive, bandits are everywhere, Yuan Shu is not virtuous, and everyone will be punished."

Various slogans emerge one after another, but the royal family will definitely be counted, and the royal family will be scolded for being immoral and incompetent.

In the world of the Liu family, the face of the Liu family was trampled on.

Zhang Yu didn't rush to follow.

Gao Shun led a group of soldiers and horses, Ling Cao led a team of soldiers and horses, and Guo Jia led a team of soldiers and horses.

Now it will not start fighting immediately, Zhang Yu still has to operate the affairs of the North and South Money Villages.

Zhang Zhao quickly selected more than two hundred people, they gathered, and Zhang Yu trained them.

While training personnel, we are improving the system, and we also need to manufacture paper.

"Hey, the third child of Lao Litou's family is going to marry the daughter of the Niu family tomorrow, I have to express it." Zhang Yu received the information and said.

In order to support Zhang Yu, this old Li Tou didn't even care about his youngest son's marriage, and took out all the family's money.

This moved Zhang Yu.

Now, the third child of Lao Litou's family is getting married, so he naturally wants to express it.

"Ning'er, how about you change into men's clothes tomorrow and come with me?" When Zhang Yu went back, he mentioned it to Zhang Ning and said.

Zhang Ning nodded in Zhang Yu's arms.

The next day, Zhang Yu asked Dian Wei to escort him, and then without bringing other guards, the three of them set off.

"When we go to a wedding, we have to bring some gifts." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Ning hadn't done any of this, tilting his head and not coming up with any good gifts.

"Valuables are definitely not good, this will hurt Lao Li's family, but gifts should also be meaningful. It's a pity I don't know calligraphy. Zhang Yu said.

Dian Wei not to mention, if he didn't hear it, let him come up with an idea, forget it.

"Forget it, show off my calligraphy and express my gratitude." Zhang Yu thought about it and wrote it himself.

Although calligraphy is not good, it is at least fair to practice it for so long.

I bought ordinary paper and pen and ink on the street and began to write.

"Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with a plum."

The eight characters on the simple Book of Poetry can very well reflect the situation of Zhang Yu and Lao Li's family.

After writing, Zhang Yu stamped it with the seal he carried, and a gift was completed.

"Let's go, let's go to the wedding." Zhang Yu took Dian Wei and Zhang Ning out of the city together.

Although Zhang Yu did not bring guards, his personal guards still followed from a distance in makeup, and some of them secretly protected in front.

Out of the city, Zhang Yu and the others waited around Lao Li's house.

Before noon, Lao Li's house was lively.

Outside the house, the villagers were helping each other.

There are not many banquets, just a dozen tables, and there are many people coming.

After a while, the bride came, and it was even more lively.

They couldn't afford the lights, so the banquet was held at noon, while most families chose to hold it in the evening.

"The bride has arrived, and we should go too." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Ning nodded and walked over with Zhang Yu.

The three of them, especially those with outstanding temperament, were very conspicuous among a group of peasants.

After walking through, many people gave way to them.

Everyone wondered, where did these three people come from? How did you come here.

"In Xia Zhangyu, congratulations." Walking to the door, Zhang Yu said to a few people who greeted the guests outside the door.

A few people froze.

"You, you, are you Master Zhang?" A few people who greeted the guests at the door said in disbelief.

"I am the Huiji Taishou Zhang Yu, today's happy event of the Li family, I am here to congratulate." Zhang Yu smiled and said.

"Ah, it's really Master Zhang." A young man shouted.

In fact, many of them had seen Zhang Yu, but they hadn't seen it up close.

Zhang Yu appeared here, they couldn't believe it at all, so they didn't recognize it.

When he shouted, all the people in the courtyard who were about to worship heaven and earth were alarmed.

Lao Li Tou thought something was wrong and hurriedly ran out.

"You are Lao Li, this is my congratulatory gift, not a tribute." Lao Li was dressed very energetically today, and he quickly recognized it.

Lao Li froze, trembling his hands and didn't know what to do.
