Zhang Yu used to travel by sea, but today they plan to travel by land.
Zhang Yu plans to travel by land this time.
After Gu Yong arranged the team, they began to move, and the team slowly went south.
This time, the team was very large, with more than 50000 people. 50000 of them were Zhang Yudai's troops, preparing to go south to attack Xuzhou.
In addition, there are hundreds of people who are selected by the talent.
Xi Zhicai has deployed hundreds of people from all over the country, some of whom have been in politics for many years, but two-thirds of them have been in politics for less than two years.
Only in this way can more excellent talents be cultivated and the situation can be controlled in the future.
Zhang Yu's territory will be bigger and bigger. In the future, he will need a group of excellent talents to govern the local areas.
After controlling a place, it can quickly stabilize, which is related to the large number of talents in Zhang Yu's hands.
With enough talents, one county can be controlled quickly, so the whole site can be controlled.
When they went south, Zhang Yu was not happy.
After entering the territory of Qingzhou, Zhang Yu deliberately stopped to look around.
Zhang Yu left the team to travel in micro clothes, which did not attract much attention.
Even if someone pays attention to Zhang Yu, he doesn't care.
Soon after the Spring Festival, Zhang Yu and Diao Chan were walking in the field, while others followed the big team to rest.
As for Zhang Yu's safety, there are guards who follow him far away.
Zhang Yu is walking in the fields. Some places are already farming, and the farmers here are mainly growing wheat.
"Husband, they are in harmony with the world." Diao Chan said.
Zhang Yu nodded silently. There is a lot of land here. From a distance, dozens of farmers are working on their own land.
Zhang Yu saw that there were young people, several old people and even three women.
Zhang Yu took Diao Chan to walk past. An old farmer may be tired and rest in the field.
Two people walked past, startled the old farmer, he quickly stood up to salute.
"Gentlemen, why are you here?"
Zhang Yu did not answer him, but directly sat in the field, which made the old farmer very uncomfortable and restless.
Zhang Yu patted the ridge beside him and said, "please sit down, old man."
You old farmer in a pair of surprised or sat down, but the heart is still very uneasy.
Zhang Yu looked at the land, and then said, "there's a lot of land in your family. Why do you come to cultivate?"
The old farmer held out his hand and grabbed a handful of soil in the field. Then he crushed it on his nose and smelled it. He said, "I'm just a son. Now I'm building a new city. The land in my family can't be left unused."
It turned out that this was the case. Zhang Yu pointed around and said, "there are many old people and women here. Are they in the same situation?"
"Oh, no, it's mostly war. There's no one in my family to support me." The old farmer sighed.
In fact, the war in Qingzhou was not serious. What was serious was that Yuan Shao took a lot of young men from Qingzhou to serve as soldiers and civilians and never came back.
Instead of asking these questions, Zhang Yu asked, "what do you think of Qingzhou's new deal?"
"Adults are officials or businessmen. It's often said that there are officials and businessmen. Oh, by the way, there are some scholars who like to do some research below."
Zhang Yu smiles and doesn't answer.
After that, the old farmer said, "if you want to talk about the new deal, it's good at present. The government has allocated land and exterminated the mountain bandits, so that you can live on."
Even so, the old farmer was worried and not happy.
"In this way, the new deal is OK, but why are you still worried, old man?" Zhang Yu asked.
"Well, I'm not afraid of war. Originally I had two sons. One of them went to the battlefield and didn't come back."
The old farmer sighed deeply, and then said: "in fact, after Yuan Shao occupied Qingzhou, he had a good life. He didn't collect excessive taxes, but after the war, Qingzhou was in chaos."
"In the end, if many people can't get by, there will be mountain bandits everywhere."
The old farmer recalled the past and fell into deep sorrow.
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and made no promise.
The war will kill people, and Zhang Yu will continue to wage the war. If he wins, Qingzhou will not be in chaos. Even if he is tight, bandits will not be rampant.
War is not a war that Zhang Yu can not fight without fighting. The general trend is like this. After a long period of separation, the war can only be stopped if it is reunified again.
Zhang Yu got to know about the new deal and saw how the government managed it. He didn't find many problems, so he left again.
Along the way, Zhang Yu inspected many places. The big problem is that Qingzhou's youth lost a lot, mostly because of the war and banditry.
Now Qingzhou has settled down. Although it develops rapidly, it is impossible to make up for the lost youth.
Zhang Yu has a large number of emigrants. First, he needs so many people overseas. Second, he wants people to get enough land.
There is a lot of land here, but only so much has been reclaimed. It's OK for the people to reclaim the land by themselves. However, in order to develop rapidly and stabilize the situation, Zhang Yu moved out of the country.
Going south, Zhang Yu often stops to investigate, so the speed is much slower.
Zhang Yu is on an inspection tour. In fact, Xi Zhicai is also on an inspection tour with other people to learn from their experience.
The war news of Xuzhou has been spread continuously, and it is not too difficult. Now it has won half of Xuzhou. As soon as Zhang Yu arrives, it is estimated that it won't be long before they can win Xuzhou.
Zhang Yu is so slow and has 50000 troops. It doesn't look like he is supporting Xuzhou.
In fact, Zhang Yu has more support for Xuzhou.
Cao Cao has been paying close attention to Zhang Yu, but after Zhang Yu entered Qingzhou, he often walked dozens of miles a day.
The suspicious Cao Cao did not dare to intervene in the battle of Xuzhou. He was afraid of Zhang Yu's 50000 reinforcements.
I don't know where the 50000 reinforcements will attack, Qingzhou, Yanzhou or Jizhou.
In Qingzhou, Zhang Yu can turn around at any time.
Therefore, Cao Cao has been afraid to directly intervene in the battle of Xuzhou. He is afraid of where Zhang Yu will attack suddenly. He has no way to deal with it.
Now, on the border between Qingzhou and Youzhou, Zhang Yu has deployed 300000 troops, ready to intervene in the Jizhou war.
At this time, in Jizhou, Cao Cao had already begun to attack. Cao ang had a way, and then another way. The attack was very fierce.
But Cao Cao should always be on guard against Zhang Yu's intervention.
After Cao ang went back, sun CE increased his troops in several places separated from Zhang Yu. It seems that he wanted to support Cao Cao and contain Zhang Yu.
No matter what agreement they have reached, Zhang Yu only cares about his own rhythm.
All the way down the south, Zhang Yu walked very slowly. In the evening, he did some private things with his wives in luxury carriages and marching tents.
