The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 660

If Yuan Shu wanted to borrow money in person, he still had to borrow a large sum of money.

After making up his mind, Yuan Shu ordered Yang Hong to negotiate with Zhang Yu.

Yuan Shu urgently collected funds, while Yang Hong left Shouchun to negotiate with Zhang Yu.

What reassured Yuan Shu a little was that Ji Ling came back, and he brought a hundred thousand elite soldiers.

The [-] troops were Yuan Shu's earlier troops, and they were fully equipped with weapons.

The arrival of Ji Ling restored Yuan Shu's confidence. Afterwards, Ji Ling vigorously rectified the troops in Shouchun City, and solved many problems that were discovered outside.

While Ji Ling was rectifying the troops, he sent troops to support Xia Cai and Yingshang. The two cities each sent [-] troops.

These two cities are the two cities that guard Shouchun City. They have been well built before, and the city defense is very good, so after five days of onslaught by Cao Cao, they were not able to break through.

The two cities are in danger. If the two cities are breached, then Shouchun City will have no barriers.

Cao Cao was also in a hurry, attacking day and night, regardless of the cost.

After five days of attack, although the two cities were not taken down, they were still in jeopardy. More than half of the tens of thousands of defenders inside were killed or injured.

But as soon as the two cities were about to be breached, a support army came.

"My lord, that's fine. These two cities are incomparable with Shouchun City. If this [-] reinforcements are placed in Shouchun City, our attack may not be effective for ten days and half a month." Cheng Yu said.

From this point of view, it was a good thing, but Cheng Yu thought of something else.

"However, why are there reinforcements sent from Shouchun City at this time? Is there something going on in other directions?"

Cao Cao's brows were tightly furrowed, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.

In the current situation, Cao Cao is not in much danger.

Although there are 30 Yuan troops in the north of Yanzhou, Cao Cao also left 10,000+ troops for Cao Hong. With Cao Hong's ability, it should be no problem to block Yuan Shao. Even if he loses, it is still possible to block Yuan Shao for a while.

Therefore, Cao Cao only has Yuan Shao as his enemy, and there is no big problem.

The question now is, what to do with Yuan Shu?
If you go back, you will fall short, and there will be no benefit.

It became his responsibility to eliminate Yuan Shu, because the emperor was in his hands, and he could not allow a second emperor to appear.

Therefore, Cao Cao has a choice.

"The offensive strength remains the same. Send someone to find out what Zhang Yu is doing." Cao Cao said.

Now, there are wars everywhere, and Zhang Yu and Cao Cao are on the diagonal again. The distance is far, and the news has a certain lag.

But Cao Cao had a feeling that the problem must be Zhang Yu.

Of course, the problem was Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu stopped attacking, and Ji Ling was able to withdraw some of his troops.

Zhang Yu's actions affected Sun Ce, and Sun Ce also stopped attacking, allowing Yuan Shu to dispatch troops.

This series of actions allowed Cao Cao to bear most of the pressure.

If Zhang Yu and Yuan Shu reconcile secretly, then Cao Cao will be under more pressure, and Cao Cao, who had many choices, will fall into a passive state.

When Cao Cao stormed the cities of Cai and Yingshang, Yang Hong and Zhou Yu secretly went to Chao County.

They couldn't find Zhang Yu, because they all knew that Zhang Yu was fighting with cavalry and was moving around, so they could only come to Guo Jia.

Yang Hong knew that Guo Jia had decision-making power, while Zhou Yu came more to inquire about the news.

Guo Jia is very leisurely in Chao County. He collects information from all parties every day and summarizes the information. He doesn't need to take care of the rest.

Gao Shun and Ling Cao are in charge of city defense and training, so I feel relieved.

Yang Hong's arrival made Guo Jia very happy.

"Mr. Yang, how come you, a civil servant, escaped when the war broke out?" Guo Jia greeted Yang Hong at the city gate and said.

The corner of Yang Hong's mouth twitched and he held back the words. Originally, he wanted to go back to Guo Jia, but it was obvious that Guo Jia would not know what he was doing here.

But Yang Hong endured it, and after waiting for a while, he said: "Let's talk about something, I believe Mr. Guo understands it in his heart."

"Haha." Guo Jia laughed loudly, and then led the way.

Not long after Yang Hong dared to arrive, Zhou Yu came, and Guo Jia simply took Yang Hong to greet him.

After Guo Jia introduced each other, the expressions of the two were not very good.

"Master Guo, this is a traitor. Why did he come here? Master Zhang is the leader of the crusade against Yuan Shu." Zhou Yu asked.

Guo Jia said calmly, "Maybe Yuan Shu wants to surrender."

Zhou Yu choked back the words, knowing that it was useless to question Guo Jia, he would not be able to save him at all, even if there was evidence, in the end he had to rely on his strength to speak.

Guo Jia wanted to entertain the two of them, but both were rejected.

The atmosphere was quite embarrassing, but there was nothing they could do.

In the evening, both Yang Hong and Zhou Yu proposed to have a private talk with Guo Jia.

Guo Jia agreed and met with Yang Hong first.

"Mr. Guo, let's be honest. Your Majesty sent me here this time to reconcile with Master Zhang. As long as Master Zhang stops attacking, His Majesty is willing to show enough sincerity." Yang Hong said.

Guo Jia didn't bother with Yang Hong about the title issue.

"Okay, how much money can you give? In addition to Chao County, we also want several cities north of Chao County." Guo Jia said.

Yang Hong was so forthright that he hadn't expected it.

"5000 million big money, you are not allowed to attack." Yang Hong said.

This time Zhang Yu was so big and Yuan Shu was so dangerous. Yang Hong also knew that if there was less money, he would not be able to satisfy Zhang Yu's appetite.

"6000 million, when the money arrives, immediately send [-] troops across the river and return to Jiangdong." Guo Jia said again.

"Okay, let's make a decision here. When the money comes, we will leave. Our master's reputation is guaranteed. There will be a long time in the future, and we will continue to cooperate." Guo Jia said.

Yang Hong was a little puzzled, and tentatively said, "Why is this Sun Ce man here?"

"I don't know. I haven't talked about it. It doesn't matter. If they haven't stopped attacking, they probably come to us to buy weapons and equipment, as well as food and other things." Guo Jia said nonchalantly.

Finding nothing, Yang Hong simply asked, "I'm not a villain. Before I came here, I really didn't expect Mr. Zhang to cooperate with me."

"It's very simple. To destroy Yuan Shu, it must be under the leadership of my lord. However, Cao Cao has been appointed as the commander-in-chief of rebellion. If he wants to take credit for it, let him claim it himself. My lord will not help him. He will make money and leave talents." It’s my Lord’s style.” Guo Jia explained.

Yang Hong believed it because Guo Jia was telling the truth.

Yang Hong had no choice but to be weak and undiplomatic. Guo Jia said this to Yuan Shu in front of him, as if Yuan Shu could be destroyed or not, it was within their thoughts.

This Mie Yuan Shu can still be given back and forth, it depends on whether he wants to die or not.

After Yang Hong finished talking, he was in no mood to stay any longer.

He is sure that as long as the situation can be controlled, as long as Shouchun is not broken by Cao Cao, then Zhang Yu will accept it as soon as he sees it.

After Yang Hong left, Guo Jia asked Zhou Yu to be invited.
