Chapter 449 Mi Zhu's Transformation
Cao Cao's guess was correct, the ambush had indeed been set up inside the city gate.
But when Zhang Yu entered, he saw Xuzhou soldiers and horses on guard on both sides looked even worse.
These Xuzhou soldiers didn't know how much more they would lose.
It is understandable that they were afraid that Cao Jun would take the opportunity to seize the city, but it was beyond Zhang Yu's understanding that it took so much time before and after.
It had been an hour since they appeared outside the city, but they were still unable to go out to respond, causing Zhang Yu and the others to suffer huge losses.
After entering the city and counting, there were only more than 1 Gao Shun's army left, and there were more than 3000 Xuzhou soldiers and horses led by Zhang Yu.
The loss was huge, which made Zhang Yu heartbroken. Gao Shun's troops were rare and powerful troops in the Three Kingdoms.
When Mi Zhu saw Zhang Yu and the others coming in, he hurried down from the top of the wall.
"Brother Zhang, brother Zhang."
Mi Zhu shouted while walking, but when she got in front of Zhang Yu, she found that Zhang Yu's face was very dark.
Mi Zhu immediately understood why Zhang Yu's expression was so bad.
"Brother Zhang, Taozhou Mu is seriously ill and cannot be in charge, so the various orders are not so smooth." Mi Zhu said.
Zhang Yu is a smart person and probably knows what's going on, but he won't let it go.
Zhang Yu did not give Mi Zhu a good look and said: "I want an independent military camp, and I also want to recruit and train soldiers in the city."
Mi Zhu agreed, and hurried to Zhang Yu to make arrangements.
After Zhang Yu entered the city, he ignored the others and went directly to a place to camp.
After setting up camp, Zhang Yu sent someone to find out how chaotic Xuzhou was.
Xuzhou was divided into several factions, and the army was in disarray. Tao Qian underestimated the enemy and was wiped out by [-] soldiers. Now half of the soldiers guarding the city are newly recruited recruits.
How can such soldiers and horses have any fighting power.
If it weren't for the high and thick city of Xiapi, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to resist for long.
Zhang Yu was too lazy to care so much and asked Gao Shun to start recruiting troops in the city the next day.
Mi Zhu came over in the evening.
"Brother Zhang, Xuzhou is in danger, what can you do?" Mi Zhu said.
In the past few days, Mi Zhu has been exhausted and exhausted.
Tao Qian fell, and Mi Zhu naturally had to stand up.
It's just that Mi Zhu can't control the entire Xiapi City.
The largest family in Xuzhou is not the Mi family, but the Chen family where Chen Deng belongs.
The Chen family is more influential than the Mi family in Xuzhou, and can even compete with Tao Qian, but Tao Qian does not dare to do anything to the Chen family.
"Is there any way? Just stick to it." Zhang Yu said.
Mi Zhu saw that Zhang Yu was still angry, so he said: "Brother Zhang, your and our families are closely related. From now on, my Mi family will send family members to Youzhou and Yangzhou to develop, so please take care of me when the time comes."
Mi Zhu saw Zhang Yu's potential, and an army of [-] to [-] could have such power.
It was just hearsay before, but this time I saw it with my own eyes.
In fact, what is more important is that Cao Cao's invasion of Xuzhou shocked Mi Zhu so much.
Mi Zhu had lived in a comfortable environment before, and Xuzhou had not experienced much war except for the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion.
But this time, Xuzhou will be destroyed by Cao Cao.
Let Mi Zhu understand that money is useless, and Tao Qian fell ill suddenly, let Mi Zhu know that Tao Qian can't cover him anymore.
At this time, Mi Zhu will naturally find a way out for his family, and Zhang Yu, who has been neglected before, appears in front of him.
Zhang Yu also heard Mi Zhu's favor, so he said: "I can't keep Xuzhou, but if your Mi family wants to do business in Youzhou and Yangzhou, the benefits will definitely not be less than Xuzhou, not to mention anything else, Kuaiji County is no longer a The simple Kuaiji County even has a population of one million on Yizhou Island, and the population under my control is close to ten million, which is definitely a huge market."
Zhang Yu revealed a little bit of his family background to Mi Zhu.
Zhang Yu controls about 20 counties at this time. The basic population of a county is 40 per increase, and the population is [-] per month.
In one year, the population is 400 million. Adding the previous population, there are actually more than 1000 million people.
After hearing this, Mi Zhu was shocked.
Although Zhang Yu didn't reveal much to him, it was scary to think about it.
Yizhou, that is, Taiwan has a population of one million. This is such a terrifying concept.
Not to mention anything else, just Zhang Yu's control of the overseas part can make him invincible.
Just imagine, even if the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains fails, Zhang Yu can still rule overseas.
Only then did Mi Zhu realize that Zhang Yu's foresight was no longer comparable to that of ordinary people.
Zhang Yu turned out to have laid down a big banner a long time ago.
What Mi Zhu didn't know was that Zhang Yu had been developing Fujian and Taiwan. If Guangdong wasn't too far away, he would also focus on developing it.
The later Nanjing, Zhenjiang and Shanghai areas are the focus of Zhang Yu's management.
Although there were not many Zhang Yu's army at this time, they were definitely a big boss and a colossus.
As the population and economy increase, Zhang Yu can expand his army at any time.
Once the army is expanded, Zhang Yu definitely has the capital to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains.
"No, you must hold Zhang Yu's thigh tightly. I will immediately send the family members to Yangzhou and Youzhou. If possible, I will form an alliance with Zhang Yu." Mi Zhu thought to himself.
Mi Zhu gave Zhang Yu the greatest help within his scope of authority, and at the same time, the Mi family gave Zhang Yu some help.
"Brother Mi, without further ado, our two families can continue to deepen our cooperation. When Tao Qian wakes up, please let me know that I want to see him." Zhang Yu said to Mi Zhu.
After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Mi Zhu immediately felt relieved, Xuzhou would be protected if he could, and if not, they would be the Mi family.
Three days after Zhang Yu entered the city, he recruited more than 3 people, and increased his force to 5. He directly handed over the more than 1 soldiers he brought in to Xuzhou.
With [-] soldiers and horses, Zhang Yu used points to train the recruits into veterans, and then handed them over to Gao Shun.
With these [-] soldiers and horses, Zhang Yu has more than enough protection for himself, and he doesn't care how Cao Cao tosses Xuzhou.
Three days after Zhang Yu entered the city, Cao Cao still stormed Xiapi City, putting great pressure on Xiapi City.
Xuzhou's morale was further depressed because Xiaopei was also breached.
On this day, Mi Zhu came to see Zhang Yu again.
"Brother Zhang, Taozhou Mu has woken up, please go over." Mi Zhu said.
"Okay." Zhang Yu responded and followed Mi Zhu without bringing anything.
On the way, Zhang Yu found out that Mi Zhu had woken up, but was a little weak.
When we arrived at the State Shepherd's Mansion, many officials gathered here, but apart from Cao Bao and Mi Fang, Zhang Yu didn't know other civil and military officials, and he wasn't interested in getting to know them. Zhang Yu didn't like many people in Xuzhou.
Those officials were all waiting outside, and Zhang Yu was led by Mi Zhu into Tao Qian's bedroom.
After entering, Zhang Yu saw Tao Qian with a white cloth tied on his head, apparently applying medicine, and he was lying half-lying with a pale face.
"I've met Tao Zhoumu," Zhang Yu said.
Tao Qian was about to get up, Zhang Yu stepped forward and said, "Taozhou Mu, it's better to lie down and talk."
Tao Qian was choked, Zhang Yu asked him to lie down, not for his health, but just to make it easier to talk.
