Chapter 834

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are really fighting.

Zhang Yu and Cao Cao were the two remaining enemies around Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's internal analysis showed that it was most appropriate to attack Cao Cao and annex him.

Yuan Shao has few directions to go. Zhang Yu in Youzhou is not weak at all. The most important thing is that Zhang Yu has set up checkpoints and built a big city, which is not easy to deal with.

But Cao Cao, there are many enemies around him. He has to guard against them in other directions and can't deal with them with all his strength. Therefore, attacking Cao Cao is the best choice.

At this time, Yuan Shao had already controlled Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, and a part of Xuzhou, and it was time for him to attack vigorously.

Yuan Shao gradually mobilized troops and horses from other places. This large-scale preparation could not hide from others. Youzhou even deliberately made a defensive posture to prevent Yuan Shao's sneak attack.

It's not easy to mobilize troops, horses and food. At this time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are almost doing the same thing.

Even the two of them are going to start the scientific examination.

Both of them have been preparing for it for a long time. After the Jiangdong scientific examination, they began to push it forward rapidly.

The influence of Jiangdong scientific research is so great that the whole Chinese scholars are very concerned about it.

Whether they agree or disagree, they are carefully studying the imperial examination.

The examination questions printed by Zhang Yu and the answers given by the examinees were very popular, and they soon sold all over the country.

When the merchants knew that Zhang Yu had printed these, they sent people to wait for them. Once they had printed them, they directly took them away and quickly sent them to all parts of the country to sell them.

At this time, there are rare goods to live in. What we sell is time.

When it comes to the imperial examination, Zhang Yu gathered a lot of talents this time, but it's a pity that Fazheng, the number one scholar, didn't appear and disappeared.

Although Fazheng didn't work, other people showed no bad talent.

After all, in this world, the population has soared so many times that it's not surprising that there are some people with high talent.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had a lot of preparation for the imperial examination, but Jizhou obviously didn't attach great importance to it. Although Yuan Shao attached great importance to it on the surface, he let Jushi preside over it, but he seldom asked about it and didn't give too much resources.

Cao Cao is different. He let Cao ang take charge and Chen Deng help him. At the same time, Cao ang is still digging for talents and visiting some famous people.

Cao ang is trying to attract talents.

Both sides began the examination at about the same time. In this imperial examination, tens of thousands of people, whether Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, took part in it.

However, there are obvious differences. Among Yuan Shao's examinees, aristocratic families account for the vast majority, while the common people only have a small number.

Yuan Shao always despised the common people, and the focus of his work was to the aristocratic families. Yuan Shao sent many people to send letters to the aristocratic families, inviting their family children to participate in the imperial examination.

He did not object to this practice, but suggested that we should dig out more talents among the common people, publicize notices and encourage them to take part in the imperial examination.

But Yuan Shao didn't agree and didn't adopt it.

On the other hand, Cao Cao also held the imperial examination. Although Cao ang was in charge, Cao Cao also came out several times to encourage all talented people to participate in the imperial examination.

After Zhang Yu received the news, he said to Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai who came back: "their personalities are very different. Yuan Shao is too proud and looks down on ordinary people. If he doesn't look down on his family, I'm afraid it's hard for him to succeed."

Guo Jia said: "Lord, according to the progress they are preparing, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight in two or three months. We still have a lot to do."

Guo Jia had already thought of a plan, and then said, "Lord, whether Cao Cao wins or loses, we all have a chance to capture Shouchun, divide the relationship between Cao Cao and sun CE, and break their fragile alliance."

"Second, if Yuan Shao failed, we would quickly send troops to attack Qingzhou by sea and land."

Zhang Yu is like a hidden beast in this war. He can't wait.

In this war, there will not be only one winner. Zhang Yu is already hungry and thirsty.

After discussion, Zhang Yu said: "prepare for the war in secret. There should be no abnormality between Jiangdong and Youzhou this time. It seems that we should speed up the construction of overseas bases in the future."

In terms of production materials, Zhang Yu set up a special place on Taiwan Island, and the wharf also used military wharf, so it would not be found.

There are still many things to do to convince Yuan Shao that Zhang Yu will not interfere.

It is difficult to grasp the scale, because if you are not careful, the Xiongnu will really enter.

Zhang Yu and the Huns have a big hatred, and they have been coveting the wealth of Youzhou.

This makes Zhang Yu a little difficult.

"What can you do? If we want the Xiongnu to build up their momentum, we must send out our troops when we attack Yuan Shao. At that time, Youzhou will be empty, and the Xiongnu will probably take the opportunity to invade. " Zhang Yu said.

Xi Zhicai has been stationed in Youzhou for many years. He said: "Lord, the Huns have a great chance to kill us. We should be prepared in advance. His subordinates suggest that we can set many traps in Youzhou by using the false as the real. One is to confuse Yuan Shao and make Yuan Shao think that we have no time to fight against the Huns. The other is to make real arrangements. If the Huns dare to invade, they will fight head on."

"That's good. It's arranged like this. Zhi will return to Youzhou in a few days." Zhang Yu immediately decided to say.

"In addition, before the troops and horses moved, the public opinion first sent some people to spread the tragic scenes of the Xiongnu, and then sent people to spread news to Jizhou and Qingzhou, so that they all knew that the Xiongnu was too miserable to eat, and let Yuan Shao judge that the Xiongnu was going to invade the south."

After Zhang Yu finished, Guo Jia added: "I'm afraid it's not enough. My subordinates suggest that we arrange some merchants, and we don't have to spread news. It's very confusing to buy grain and cloth in Jizhou and Qingzhou in combination with those remarks."

"Well, it's also very simple to do so. If we don't transport grain from Jiangdong to Youzhou, Youzhou will naturally be short of grain. Then we will buy from Jizhou and Qingzhou. If someone wants to check the real sale, there will be no problem." Zhang Yu said.

Three people will improve the plan, the ultimate goal is to dig a hole for Yuan Shao.

This time, Zhang Yu's plan is a little big. Zhang Yu wants to transfer back 50000 troops in Kyushu, otherwise he may not have enough troops.

"Fengxiao, when the army is transferred back, the Kyushu may be stable." Zhang Yu said.

Guo Jia said: "Lord, no problem. Fusang people have no ships. We have sunk all their ships, and they are not allowed to build shipyards and wharves. They can't cross the Strait and threaten us."

In this way, Zhang Yu can rest assured that Kyushu has set up an army of 10000 people, and can recruit another 10000 people. In addition, the majority of the people on the island are Han people.
