Chapter 1198
Chapter 1201 Preparation of both parties
The cabinet began to mobilize grain and other resources.
To mobilize soldiers and horses, if Zhang Yu can perform his duties normally, then only he can mobilize the army. Unless Zhang Yu has an accident, the power to mobilize soldiers and horses 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 preparations.
Gao Shun, Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Yu Jin and others arrived in Chang’an and prepared to attack in two ways.
Gao Shun was originally in Chang’an. He moved from Luoyang to Chang’an after the Luoyang war.
Chang’an is now a majestic city.
Zhang Yu just mobilized troops and horses to strengthen the blockade, and was not in a hurry to start war.
There is still waiting for war.
Zhang Yu is still in the south of the Yangtze River, so he inspects here to see the development situation here.
Building roads is already a long-term task for them. Once they have money, they must build roads.
“If the cement can be cheaper, I must repair him tens of thousands of miles.”
After some inspections, Zhang Yu still discovered that this road needs to be maintained frequently after it has been repaired. The road rammed with soil has been exposed to wind and rain, and the maintenance cost is still very high.
Especially after being crushed by heavy carts, it is very easy to break.
Now the cement industry is cultivating, and many buildings in the capital are already built with cement.
This will take a period of development, and it is not yet possible, but one day, cement will become cheaper.
The entire Chinese land is still under construction, and various roads are being built.
In the past few months, many more projects have been completed and stopped.
Zhang Yu held another large sum of money in his hand, but the money was used for war.
During the months when Zhang Yu was out of Beijing, a large amount of gold and silver was also sent overseas, which made Zhang Yu wealthy again.
The mobilization of grain and grass is proceeding one after another.
This Ma Teng has already felt the crisis.
Before, they all judged that Zhang Yu was going to have a major event. Who knew that one year later, the rebellion did not occur, but it became more and more stable.
Zhang Yu stabilized here, and then began to prepare for battle.
Recently, Ma Teng and Ma Chao have not had a good time.
Because their preparations are not yet complete.
“This Zhang Yu is not in rebellion, why dare you to be distracted to fight.” Ma Teng is very irritable. Recently, Zhang Yu mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and made him nervous all at once.
Ma Teng’s staff said: “Lord, maybe we are building weapons here, plus the arrival of more than 50,000 people from the Roman Empire, this must be concealed.”
Ma Teng also thought that Zhang Yu was stimulated by their actions.
Ma Chao said: “Father, these people from the Roman Empire have lived here for a few months. Only a thousand people are sick. I think they can send an army.”
Ma Teng shook his head and said: “The weapons and armors we are building now can only be used by more than 20,000 people, and there is no time to build more.”
“Then let them bring it over, the big deal will consume more on the road.”
An staff member stood up and said, “No, we can’t bear too many points along the road. We can only let them come in batches.”
“Father, what about Zhang Yu’s hundreds of thousands of troops coming over? We now have more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, blocking them for a year or a half. When the time comes, we can turn defeat into victory when the western army comes, and Liu Bei from Shuchuan can also Attack, enough to hold him.” Ma Chao said.
Ma Chao is still very confident in himself.
Ma Teng hesitated, he didn’t expect that Zhang Yu would do it before they were ready.
Another staff member got up and said, “Lord, we and Zhang Yu are related by marriage. It is better to send an envoy and find a way to hold it back for a while.”
Ma Teng didn’t want to get into trouble at this time, facing Zhang Yu’s hundreds of thousands of troops, he was not sure.
“Okay, let someone go on an mission and try to delay it. As long as we delay it for a few months, we will step up preparations and it will definitely succeed.”
Mainly the soldiers of the Roman Empire gave them great confidence.
A person who is tall and big, but also very strong.
This is very advantageous, the advantage is obvious, although there are only more than 50,000 troops, but with powerful armor, they are a natural iron army.
There are more troops coming. As long as there is 300,000, Ma Teng absolutely believes that Zhang Yu’s millions of troops can be easily swept away.
Zhang Yu’s side has been transporting supplies for several months, all kinds of supplies are available, and even a lot of liquor has been transported.
At the same time, the system of military doctors was also established, and Zhang Yu directly let the medical school students who had only studied for more than a year to go with the military.
They will also have experienced the flames of war, although they are not allowed to go to the battlefield, but they must also be made to feel the tragedy of the battlefield.
Ma Teng also believed that Zhang Yu sent troops at this time because he discovered their conspiracy.
While Ma Teng sent someone to reconcile with Zhang Yu, he stepped up preparations.
After Zhang Yu’s patrol, he began to travel west along the Yangtze River, passing through Jingzhou, and then entering Luoyang and Chang’an.
In this way, it takes two months to make a big circle, but Zhang Yu is not in a hurry, because the preparations have not been completed yet.
The battle has not yet been fought, but public opinion must go first.
Zhang Yu has leaked the news that Ma Teng had colluded with other races.
“This Ma Teng is so bad that he dares to collude with other races.”
“I heard that those foreign races eat human flesh raw, these eyes are all blue.”
“Ma Teng found a bunch of savages, this is to poison our China.”
“Support your Majesty, you must defeat Ma Teng.”
“Father and son Ma Teng, you can’t die.”
Among the people, the common people are full of scolding, and Western Rome is even more demonized.
They drink blood and eat human flesh raw.
Ma Teng colluded with such a person.
Ma Teng is simply not a human being, and Zhang Yu gave them preferential treatment.
There was a wave of condemnation among the people, and some knew that Zhang Yu had no money, and they wanted to start donating money.
Zhang Yu refused to donate money to the people. The people finally got rich and couldn’t make them poorer.
Zhang Yu just asked the government to buy more grain at the cost price and send it over.
And some businessmen want to start fundraising, as long as there are no other conditions, then Zhang Yu will accept them.
Don’t want the merchant’s money for nothing, anyway, you’re very short of money now.
People’s hearts are on Zhang Yu’s side, and Zhang Yu’s current reputation is rising rapidly.
With the support of the people, Zhang Yu mobilized all the soldiers and horses in the east and laid out several lines of defense at the same time.
A million soldiers and horses can definitely win this just war.
Zhang Yu is still storing a large amount of ordnance along the way, and once the front really fails, Zhang Yu can only fight against it with the power of the whole country.
Of course, Zhang Yu is confident to win this battle.
After half a month, Zhang Yu arrived in Jingzhou.
At this time, Jingzhou is still very prosperous.
The Yangtze River has always been very busy, with frequent exchanges between east and west.
At the same time, some of the specialty products here will be sold to the east, and some can even be sold overseas.
Jingzhou is very advantageous. At this time, Jingzhou also deployed 200,000 soldiers and horses, and Zhang Yu transferred another 100,000 to block Liu Bei. Liu Bei must not be allowed to interfere.
