Zhang Yu takes Yanzhou and arranges defense in Yanzhou.
Later, more than 30000 soldiers and horses were supported. Zhang Yu only had more than 60000 soldiers and horses, and Zhao Yun had more than 10000 soldiers and horses to continue to wipe out Cao's army.
But Cao Jun in Luoyang did not dare to come out. Zhang Yu was very safe.
When the news of Cao Cao's defeat came. Xu Chang surrendered in Kaicheng.
Soon Zhang Liao and his army occupied Dongjun.
The whole area of Yanzhou and Yuzhou was also occupied by Zhang Yu.
Yanzhou was the place where Cao Cao started. It was very important for him, but he had to abandon it.
If it wasn't for Cao Cao's fault, Zhang Yu might still be fighting Shouchun at this time, and he would not be here so soon.
In total, it took nine months for Zhang Yu to fight from spring to winter.
Zhang Yu ordered that a small part of the soldiers and horses from Qingzhou and Xuzhou should be left for defense, and the rest should go to Yuzhou, where they should rearrange their defense lines.
When Gao Shun occupied Xuchang, he left 20000 people behind. Then he took other soldiers and marched all the way to join Zhang Yu.
When Gao Shun arrived, Zhang Yu was relieved that they had tens of thousands of troops. If Cao Jun or other forces wanted to kill him, it would be hard to defend him.
Now gaoshun has arrived, and the tens of thousands of heavy infantry are a great deterrent.
Zhang Yu didn't expect that the attack on Cao Jun was so smooth. He lost hundreds of thousands of troops at any time, but it was all worth it.
"Yanzhou is in a mess. Give Zilong more troops to stabilize it."
"Zhang banganmin, at the same time, ordered those aristocratic landlords to hand over their land within a time limit and disband their family members. Once they found out, they didn't need to explain, they didn't need to be polite, they just went to the house."
"In addition, the recruitment of famous scholars, special open enko, local selection of scholars."
After Gao Shun arrived, Zhang Yu didn't have to worry about the defense here, so he could manage Yanzhou well.
Yanzhou's aristocratic families have realized that the trend is irreversible, and most of them obediently follow Zhang Yu's requirements.
Cao Cao is defeated like this. Who else can they rely on? They can only obediently follow Zhang Yu's requirements.
Zhang Yu has no choice but to recruit local talents. In the two states, Zhang Yu can deploy some talents from other places, but there are too many people in need, so he can only recruit some local talents.
At the same time, it is also the rapid stability of Yanzhou, which will play a great role in the stability of Yanzhou.
"Yanzhou and Yingchuan have a special position for scholars all over the world. Let the Ministry of industry immediately set up an academy in Yingchuan."
"Academies must be at the same level as Jiangdong and Peiping."
Yingchuan, it is out of too many talents, the style of study here is also very good.
Zhang Yu needs to build more colleges, and Yingchuan is definitely a good choice.
Zhang Liao was still cleaning up the city. When their army arrived, Cao's army surrendered.
Cao Jun either ran early or was waiting to surrender, so there were few wars behind him.
In winter, Zhang Yu controlled Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou and Jiaozhou. Zhang Yu occupied seven states in mainland China.
It can be said that Zhang Yu has controlled more than half of China, and no one can compete with him.
Sun CE was very powerful. He could not reach one state. Cao Cao was defeated. He could control more than one state at most, and Liu Bei also controlled one state.
All of them together, the territory is not as large as Zhang Yu's, and the population is not as large as Zhang Yu's.
"The general trend has been achieved. Now we can fight and build both."
With so many sites and so many people, Zhang Yu can build on the edge of war and keep up with military recruitment.
To control the Central Plains, most people can understand the situation.
"Now, even if the Roman Empire does come, I have the capital to fight them."
Win, a new round of expansion begins.
When Zhang Yu recruited two million troops, he did not continue to expand the number of troops, but focused on improving the quality of the army.
If we fight too many wars, the combat effectiveness of the army will decline, and we must train well.
In winter, when Zhang Yu was still in Yanzhou, he stayed in Yingchuan, and Gao Shun was transferred to the front to defend Cao Jun in Luoyang.
It has stabilized here, and Zhang Yu is slowly dealing with government affairs.
Zhang Yu ordered Xu Shu to take over Yanzhou and deal with government affairs.
At the beginning of the year, Zhang Yu appointed Zhuge Liang as the head of the state. Now, taking advantage of the lack of people everywhere, he has promoted Xu Shu.
Xu Shu did a good job in Jizhou and managed well. Zhang Yu was promoted and reused.
When Zhang Yu occupied the two states, his relationship with CAI Mao was broken.
Cai Mao no longer knows that Zhang Yu's goal is to unify the world. Before, he thought that it was impossible, or not so easy, for he might not have any conflict with himself for decades.
But Zhang Yu owns seven states and overseas regions, and he controls half of the Yangtze River.
Cai Mao knew that Zhang Yu would fight back sooner or later, and it would not be too far away.
Tsai Mao, a water piercing man, is surrounded by enemies. Thanks to his strong economic strength and the large population of Jingzhou, he is still able to survive for the time being.
He can't even beat a sun CE whose strength is not as good as his.
Now Zhang Yu has controlled Yanzhou. If he wants to fight Jingzhou, he will be very passive.
Zhang Yu's strength is so strong that Cai Mao can't adapt to it.
A few years ago, they were on an equal footing. What qualifications does he have now.
Zhang Yu has been called emperor. He doesn't even dare to be called king.
"Damn sun CE, if I can subdue sun CE and annex them, and the two families are united, I may be able to separate one side." Cai Mao thought there.
Cai Mao called over a dozen of his advisers to have a secret talk.
"Now that Zhang Yu's general situation has been established, what should we do?" Cai Mao asked.
A counsellor said, "Lord, the best way is to form an alliance with Cao Cao, Liu Bei and sun CE to fight against Zhang Yu. But we have enemies with sun CE, Cao Cao and Liu Bei. I'm afraid it's hard to achieve that."
"Then the second-class way is to annex sun CE and unite the two sites. With Jingzhou's developed water system, there is no problem in defense. They can form their own kingdom. Their subordinates suggest that the Lord should be king immediately."
After listening to his suggestions, Cai Mao agreed very much that he wanted several companies to unite. If he didn't believe in each other at that time, he might fail faster and grow stronger himself.
But what Cai Mao didn't know was that among his advisers, especially the one he relied on, was actually Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu ambushed so many people at the beginning. Almost two of the ten people Cai Mao recruited were Zhang Yu's people.
