Zhang Yu wants to fight and build roads on a large scale, which is a great achievement.
But Zhang Yu now has the strength.
If the North-South lane is built, the accessibility of government decrees will be greatly improved, and the North-South exchanges will be more convenient.
The key is that this is a windfall, not in Zhang Yu's plan.
The construction of chidao is the government's investment in the private sector, which can greatly stimulate the economy, so Zhang Yu is not afraid of such a big fight.
The Sui Yang emperor of later generations, whose crime lies in the present age, but whose merit lies in the future. Digging the Grand Canal is definitely a good thing for the country and the people. As a result, the people rebelled, but the canal is still in use.
That's because a large number of people are expropriated, and their land can only be abandoned, and they have no wages. It's just corvee.
People can't support their families, and many people are tired to death on the construction site.
So they rebelled.
Zhang Yu doesn't have this worry. He can support his family without farming. In addition, there is enough food, so the price of food will not rise.
Not only don't worry that the people won't come to work, the people will rush to work.
If you work alone, you can support your family even if you have enough to eat.
Zhang Yu also wanted to dig the canal, but he had to wait until he could afford it.
Can Zhang Yu afford to spend millions of people a day?
After more than ten days of digging, Zhang Yu went back with a lot of antiques.
Zhang Yu doesn't want to sell these antiques. He will build a museum or find a place to bury them for his descendants.
You can bury with yourself, bury it for one or two thousand years, and then dig it out. By that time, it won't be destroyed in large quantities.
The news that Zhang Yu dug up a lot of treasure leaked out, but it did not cause much impact.
Princes can only envy, they want to rob also can't rob.
The people have no response. Anyway, they won't have their share.
On the contrary, the cabinet is so happy that it has money to control.
Although Zhang Yu allocated 100 million yuan to the Ministry of transportation, there is still a lot of money to be allocated.
As the pace of winter gradually passed, the atmosphere of war became stronger and stronger.
Zhang Yu deployed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Youzhou and Jizhou, and these soldiers and horses had more and more frequent activities, and repeatedly investigated around Cao Cao's and Yuan's territory.
Zhang Yu's actions were interpreted by the outside world as an attack on Jizhou.
After more than a month of deployment, Zhang Yu's troops have been in place.
Fusang's 100000 troops have been transported to Jiangdong, but their training is still relatively small.
In addition, 100000 troops from Langya County, 100000 troops from Xuzhou and Qingzhou, as well as the troops originally assigned by Jiangdong, have been deployed. The main combat force has reached 500000.
500000 troops are a powerful force.
And Zhang Yu also conducted pressure in Youzhou.
This time, 300 million yuan was excavated from the treasure of yellow scarf, as well as a large number of antique jade.
Zhang Yu didn't plan to sell those antiques, but he also had 300 million other things. 100 million was allocated to the Ministry of communications, 100 million to the cabinet for arrangement, and another 100 million was used as military expenditure.
Everything is ready, Zhang Yu is ready to attack Jizhou.
Yes, Jizhou takes action first, which can attract more attention.
Zhang Yu occupied three counties in the East, not far from Yecheng, which could directly threaten the safety of Yecheng.
More than 100000 Zhang Yu's troops roamed the border, trained and attacked at any time.
Even the logistics began to prepare, to mobilize food and grass, and even to manufacture siege equipment.
"Show me your momentum, and be sure to scare each other." Zhang Yu often comes out with his soldiers for training. Now he comes out with great momentum.
This time, Zhang Yu took 50000 people out for training, and 50000 people were divided into many squares to carry out various forms of training within a dozen miles.
Cao Jun's scouts have been paying close attention to this area, and they are afraid that Zhang Yu will kill him suddenly.
This training lasted for three days, which made the army on the Cao army's border very nervous.
Cao Jun is nervous because Zhang Yu's attack intention is very obvious.
Zhang Yu's 200000 troops were gathered here, and several generals also moved around.
Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, and several other generals are here.
Plus Zhang Yu, five people are a luxury lineup, and there is another Zhao Yun who doesn't know where.
Zhang Yu and Cao ang are fighting each other.
At first, Cao ang deployed tens of thousands of troops on the border to prevent Zhang Yu from killing him suddenly.
But Zhang Yu's momentum is not only strong, but also has many troops, which makes Cao ang dare not meet Zhang Yu.
Tens of thousands of troops had to gather and retreat.
On that day, the news came from the front line that Zhang Yu's army was invading their border. Cao ang called Jia Xu and Xun you.
"Two gentlemen, there are only 60000 troops in the front line, which can't stop Zhang Yu's 200000 troops. Looking at the posture, Zhang Yu is going to attack." Said Cao ang.
The two men studied the intelligence, and then the analysis said: "young master, there are only a few counties that can defend along the way. It's better to resist for two days and give up. The key point is to consume Zhang Yu's troops, then withdraw to Yecheng and focus on defending Yecheng."
Yecheng, with more than 200000 troops, is very strong.
Cao ang nodded, holding a lot of information in his hand, unconsciously looking at it casually.
After a while, he said: "as long as we guarantee that there is nothing wrong with Yecheng, even if Zhang Yu takes over the surrounding areas, it will only lengthen the front in the end."
If there is a place to defend, Cao ang will not leave it.
Cao Ang's mind already has a consideration, that is to use defense to hold Zhang Yu and consume Zhang Yu.
With Ye City in hand, Cao ang doesn't have to be afraid of Zhang Yu. Even if 500000 troops attack Ye City, Cao ang has confidence to defend it.
Jia Xu didn't speak all the time. Cao ang looked as if he had something on his mind. At last, he asked, "Mr. Wen he, what do you think?"
"It's not wise for Zhang Yu to attack Yecheng. Yecheng is so strong that he can't attack Yecheng for half a year. He has been fighting for a long time and can't understand." Jia Xu shakes his head, obviously he has no idea.
"My subordinates speculated that Zhang Yu didn't really want to attack Yecheng, but what he wanted to achieve by attacking Yecheng."
Jia Xuyi said that Xun you agreed with him, but they didn't come up with anything after studying for a long time.
"The worries of the two gentlemen are very reasonable. I'll send a letter to my father and let him prepare. In addition, no matter what the purpose of Zhang Yu is, we must stick to Yecheng. As long as Yecheng is there, everything else can be dealt with."
There is nothing to say about defending Yecheng. We must keep it.
Zhang Yu built up momentum on the border for a few days, and then the army began to set out.
"Start, target Yecheng."
A few days later, Zhang Yu ordered 50000 troops and set out for Yecheng.
Three hours after Zhang Yu's departure, Huang Zhong also set out, followed by Tai Shici and Zhang Liao.
A few people are divided into several teams. Unlike the traditional forwards and defenders, the Legion and the Legion March separately.
Some go hand in hand, some echo back and forth.
Zhang Yu, who rarely has a whole army flag, not only has a king's flag set in Phnom Penh this time, but also has a lot of military flags set up by various armies.
Each army's flag also has several sides. The enemy's scouts can easily distinguish Zhang Yu's troops from those who command them.
Along the way, Zhang Yu did not hide, such a large scale can not hide.
Zhang Yu's speed is not fast. They don't seem to be in a hurry.
In Jiangdong, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia appear in Jiangdong.
Zhao Yun arrived half a month ago, while Guo Jia just arrived.
