The cabinet began to mobilize food and other resources.
If Zhang Yu can normally perform his duties, only he can mobilize the army. Unless Zhang Yu has an accident, the power to mobilize the army will be handed over to the cabinet.
Now Zhang Yu is still normal, so everything is done by Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu transferred Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Zhang Liao to Bingzhou and began to prepare.
Gao Shun, Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Yu Jin and others arrived in Chang'an to prepare for two attacks.
Gao Shun was originally in Chang'an. After the war in Luoyang, he moved from Luoyang to Chang'an.
Now Chang'an is a big city.
Zhang Yu just mobilized his troops, strengthened the blockade, and was not in a hurry to go to war.
It's going to take a while to go to war.
Zhang Yu is still in the south of the Yangtze River. He inspected here to see its development.
Road construction is a long-term task for them. Once they have money, they have to build roads.
"If the cement can be cheaper, I will repair it for tens of thousands of miles."
After some investigation, Zhang Yu still found that the road had to be maintained frequently after it was built. The maintenance cost of the road tamped with soil was very high after the wind and rain.
Especially after being crushed by heavy trucks, it is very easy to break down.
Now the cement industry is developing, and many buildings in Beijing are built with cement.
It's going to take a while to develop, not yet, but one day, cement will be cheaper.
The whole land of China is still under construction. All kinds of roads are under construction.
In recent months, many more projects have been completed and stopped.
Zhang Yu has a lot of money in his hand, but the money is used for war.
Within a few months of Zhang Yu's leaving Beijing, a large amount of gold and silver was sent overseas, which made Zhang Yu rich again.
The mobilization of grain and grass is going on one after another.
This marten has felt the crisis.
Before, they all judged that Zhang Yu was going to have a big event. Who knows, a year later, the rebellion did not happen, but became more and more stable.
Zhang Yu's side stabilized, and then began to prepare for war.
Recently, Ma Teng and Ma Chao have not had a good time.
Because they're not ready yet.
"This Zhang Yu is not rebellious. How dare he be distracted from fighting?" Ma Teng is very irritable. Recently, Zhang Yu mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to make him nervous.
Marten's aides said: "Lord, maybe we are here to build weapons. With the arrival of more than 50000 people in the Roman Empire, we can't hide it."
Ma Teng also thinks that it is their actions that stimulate Zhang Yu. Originally, they are good. How can they fight.
Ma Chao said: "father, the people of the Roman Empire have lived here for several months, and only more than 1000 people are sick. I think we can let them send a large army."
Ma Teng shook his head and said, "the weapons and armor we are building now are only enough for more than 20000 people. There is no time to build more."
"Then let them bring it here, and it's a big deal to spend more on the road."
An aide stood up and said, "it's not right. We can't bear too many points along the road. We can only let them come in batches."
"Father, what about the hundreds of thousands of Zhang Yu's troops? Now we have more than 300000 troops, who have been blocking them for a year and a half. When the Western army comes, we can turn defeat into victory. In addition, Liu Bei of Shuchuan can also attack, which is enough to hold him down. " Ma Chao said.
Ma Chao is very confident in himself.
Ma Teng hesitated. He didn't expect that Zhang Yu would start before they were ready.
Another aide got up and said, "Lord, we are related to Zhang Yu in law. We'd better send envoys and try to hold off for a while."
Ma Teng doesn't want to start an incident at this time. Facing hundreds of thousands of Zhang Yu's troops, he is not sure.
"Well, let's send someone on the mission and delay as long as possible. As long as we delay for a few months, we'll make more preparations and we'll make it."
It was mainly the soldiers of the Roman Empire who gave them great confidence.
A person is tall and strong.
This is very advantageous. The superiority is obvious. Although there are only more than 50000 troops, they have strong armour. They are a natural iron army.
There are more troops to come, as long as 300 thousand, Ma Teng absolutely believes that he can easily sweep Zhang Yu's million troops.
Zhang Yu has been transporting materials and supplies for months, and has transported many kinds of Baijiu.
At the same time, the system of military doctors was also established. Zhang Yu directly let the medical students who had only studied for more than a year go with the army.
They also have to experience the fire of war. Although they are not allowed to go to the battlefield, they should also feel the tragedy of the battlefield.
Ma Teng also thought that Zhang Yu had discovered their plot, so he sent troops at this time.
On the one hand, Ma Teng sent people to make peace with Zhang Yu, on the other hand, he stepped up his preparations.
After his inspection tour, Zhang Yu began to walk westward along the Yangtze River. He would pass through Jingzhou and then enter Luoyang and Chang'an.
In this way, it will take two months to make a big circle, but Zhang Yu is not in a hurry, because the preparation has not been completed yet.
The war has not yet been fought, but public opinion must go first.
Zhang Yu has leaked the news about Ma Teng's collusion with other nationalities.
"Ma Teng is so bad that he dares to collude with other people."
"It's said that those alien people eat human flesh raw. Their eyes are all blue."
"Ma Teng has found a group of savages to poison China."
"Support your majesty, you must defeat Ma Teng."
"Ma Teng and his son, it's hard to die."
Among the people, the common people were scolding, and Western Rome was demonized.
They eat human flesh raw.
Ma Teng colludes with such a person.
Ma Teng is not a human being. Thanks to Zhang Yu, he treats them well.
Among the people, there was a lot of criticism. Some people knew that Zhang Yu had no money, and they even wanted to start a donation.
Zhang Yu refuses to give money to the people. The people are getting rich and can't let them be poor any more.
Zhang Yu just asked the government to buy more grain at the cost price.
And some businessmen want to raise money, as long as there are no other conditions, Zhang Yu will accept them.
The merchant's money should not be wasted. Anyway, he is very short of money.
People's hearts are on Zhang Yu's side, and Zhang Yu's reputation is rising rapidly.
With the support of the common people, Zhang Yu mobilized the troops from the East and set up several lines of defense at the same time.
Millions of soldiers and horses will surely win this just war.
Zhang Yu also reserves a lot of ordnance along the way. Once the front really fails, Zhang Yu can only fight with the strength of the whole country.
Of course, Zhang Yu is confident of winning the battle.
Half a month later, Zhang Yu arrived in Jingzhou.
At this time, Jingzhou is still very prosperous.
The Yangtze River has always been very busy, frequent exchanges between East and West.
At the same time, some of the specialties here will be sold to the East, and even some can be sold overseas.
Jingzhou has a great advantage. At this time, Jingzhou also deployed 200000 troops, and Zhang Yu transferred 100000 troops to stop Liu Bei. Liu Bei must not be allowed to interfere.
