Zhang Yu has been busy in Youzhou for more than a month, most of the time making traps and preparing for ambush.

Related to the security of the whole Youzhou, Zhang Yu did not dare to be careless at all.

Zhang Yu checked several southward passages, but he didn't feel at ease. He sent someone to investigate the whole Youzhou. Even if no one had been to the place, Zhang Yu had to send someone to look for it, so that the Xiongnu had no other place to go southward.

Only when all channels are blocked or ambushed, can Zhang Yu rest assured.

The leader of Xiongnu had already sent someone to inform yufro of the situation here.

After Yu Fuluo got to know the situation, he asked people to cooperate with Zhang Yu. By the way, he asked Zhang Yu for some benefits.

If you ask someone to help you, of course, you have to give some benefits. Zhang Yu's advantage is that all the goods are reduced in price and there is a large supply. The premise is that you have to have money to buy them. If you have no money to give you a discount, you still can't afford to buy them. There's no way.

After the arrangement, Zhang Yu returned to Pingcheng.

At this time, all the new beipingcheng had been built, both inside and outside.

It's really a big city, a military town, an economic center, and a city with a population of over one million.

There are few such cities in the world.

Luoyang has declined, and only Yecheng in Jizhou and two cities in Jiangdong are comparable.

The King City of Jiangdong will undoubtedly be a super metropolis in the future. Although its population is still relatively small, less than one million, more people will go there in the future.

Another is an open city, that is, Shanghai. At this time, the area is not very stable. Zhang Yu did not start large-scale construction, but he did not love it. When Xuzhou is stable, Zhang Yu will build it into a super large city.

Back in new Peiping, Zhang Yu received the latest news.

The imperial examinations held by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have already produced results.

Most of yuan Shaofang's textual research is about the collection of classics and history, but there is only one strategy theory, so the proportion is not very large.

And Cao Cao also examined a subset of classics and history, accounting for about half of the proportion.

Zhang Yu shares the information with Xi Zhicai.

After examining carefully, Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, according to the analysis of the intelligence sent by our intelligence personnel, Yuan Shao is looking for the children of the aristocratic family. The common people won't be reused. The examination content can't really select talents. It can only be said that most of them are scholars."

Scholars and talents are not the same concept. They can only collect historical works, and many of them may be dull scholars.

Cao Cao obviously understood that half of the test was on the theory of strategy, but he wanted to focus on the theory of strategy. However, most of the people in this era read classics and history books. If you don't test them, the result will be very miserable.

Cao Cao should not only select talents, but also take care of the face of these scholars.

Therefore, half of Cao Cao came to test.

There were more than 10000 people on both sides, and their influence was far less than that of Jiangdong's imperial examination.

Not to mention that Jiangdong has trained tens of thousands of candidates, it is said that tens of thousands of people come from other places.

Although they don't have enough influence, they can recruit some talents.

After Zhou Yu and sun CE returned to Changsha, they began to prepare for the imperial examination in the near future.

In this way, the imperial examination promoted by Zhang Yu has formed a huge influence.

Zhang Yu put down the intelligence and began to pay attention to military affairs.

"According to the analysis, in two or three months, Yuan Shao will be ready to attack Cao Cao." Zhang Yu said.

"Lord, we can deploy 200000 troops at most in Youzhou. The others must defend Youzhou. Otherwise, even if we make arrangements ahead of time, we may not be able to defend Xiongnu." Said Xi Zhicai.

"Two hundred thousand is enough." Zhang Yu said confidently.

He was sure that 200000 yuan would be enough for yuan Shaohui to be defeated. As long as Yuan Shaohui was defeated, Qingzhou would not be able to stop him.

Not only Qingzhou, but also Jizhou.

Jizhou is the richest state in the world. Of course, now it may become Yangzhou or Youzhou. Under the management of Zhang Yu, the population and economic development of these two places are very fast.

Zhang Yu took a map and drew several lines on it.

"Lord, Lord, this is too risky." Looking at the picture of Zhang Yu's painting, Xi Zhicai was startled and said.

"It's a risk. These lines are just my ideas. I don't have to do them."

Zhang Yu's line is from Youzhou to Yecheng, Jizhou, and the sea and land attack on Qingzhou.

This is going deep into the enemy's territory and fighting inside the enemy. It's really bold.

Zhang Yu's view of taking risks is entirely due to his love for Jizhou's wealth.

To attack Jizhou or Yecheng is no longer a simple adventure.

"This is a backup plan, but you must also arrange for people to study it carefully and study the route and possible situations clearly. If conditions permit, I will attack Jizhou first and then Qingzhou."

From Zhang Yu's words, Xi Zhicai can judge that although Zhang Yu has listed the plan of attacking Jizhou as a backup, his posture depends on careful preparation. If there is a possibility of success, he will take risks.

In the view of Xi Zhicai, there is no need to take risks in Jizhou or Yecheng.

It is more in Zhang Yu's interest to win Qingzhou.

However, Zhang Yu has made a decision, and xizhicai can only make plans according to Zhang Yu's words.

This plan is quite difficult to make because the situation of the enemy is changing at any time. Once the situation changes, the route and forces will have to be adjusted. Therefore, it's really difficult to work out a plan.

However, Zhang Yu told Xi Zhicai to make a plan according to Yuan Shaohui's defeat.

On the face of the cards, Yuan Shao is destined to win, while Zhang Yu makes plans from the perspective of defeat.

Of course, there is no problem. A big win has a big win, and a big defeat also has a big lose. Only a few more plans can be worked out by the players.

On the surface, Zhang Yu can't make any preparations, otherwise it will change the battle of Guandu, and even may not be able to fight.

"In addition, if this war goes according to our expectation, there will be a large number of refugees. At that time, they will directly find a port in Qingzhou, and then all of them will be sent to Fusang. Within three years, I will unify Fusang. Zhicai, you should make preparations in the early stage. If you need, you should be able to mobilize a large number of personnel and materials." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu, a typical pot, looks at others' bowls before he can eat them. Before Yuan Shao and Cao Cao start fighting, Zhang Yu turns his eyes on Fusang.

But that's what leaders do. They look far away and leave specific things to their hands.

More than a month later, when March came, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had become the same. They were just preparing before, but now the army and the grain and grass have begun to move, and they may fight at any time.

Cao Cao was worried and couldn't sleep well for a few days. Not only Yuan Shao but also the forces around him moved.
