Chapter 438

In the war between the two sides, Zhang Yu made a fortune.

Before long, Zhang Yu finally got news of the emperor Liu Xie, who was still in Chang'an and controlled by Li Xi and Guo Si.

I thought the emperor and his ministers would be exiled to Luoyang in advance, but it didn't.

As in history, Liu Xie is still trapped in Chang'an.

When Zhang Yu got the exact news, he immediately sent someone to find Li Xi and Guo Si to discuss with them, promised some benefits, and made it clear that Zhang Yu could support them if there was any need in the future.

Li and Guo Si wanted Liu Xie to make an imperial edict so that he could make coins.

Zhang Yu made empress dowager he give a decree, so Zhang Yu's coinage was legal.

Zhang Yu, who had no worries, immediately made a lot of copper coins.

If you use all the existing materials, you can cast as many as you can.

And gold coin and silver coin Zhang Yu have already cast a batch.

The gold and silver coins made by forging machine are very exquisite.

"Now the difference is only copper. Only a few small copper mines have been found. The output is limited, and it is useless to cast millions of them." Zhang Yu said.

It sounds like there are a lot of millions of copper coins, but the value of copper coins is limited after all, and if we divide them up, there will be few more copper coins in the hands of a common people.

How to get more copper has become Zhang Yu's top priority.

This concerns the economic prosperity of the whole site.

"It turns out that there are many developed copper mines in Dahan. If we can make use of them, it's a good choice."

Zhang Yu fixed his eyes on the copper mine that had been discovered by Dahan.

Many of the copper mines have been abandoned.

At this time, the princes did not dare to mint copper coins publicly, so they would not waste manpower and material resources to mine this copper mine.

But Zhang Yu is different. Zhang Yu dares to make copper coins publicly, so they dare not ask for them and can sell them to Zhang Yu.

So Zhang Yu began to look for copper mines in many places of Dahan. As long as they can resume production, they can provide copper mines.

Zhang Yu sent people to negotiate with the princes to buy their copper mines.

Some princes immediately agreed to come down, so Zhang Yu also sent a sum of money, let them at ease, not afraid of Zhang Yu back.

Others understand it in this way, but Zhang Yu's understanding is different. He understands it with the thought of Laomei of later generations.

If you accept the money and don't give the goods, I can beat you. This is not only a peace of mind for the other party, but also a peace of mind for Zhang Yu.

If the other side goes back, he will have a name to hit the other side.

In addition to a few big princes, many princes are actually very afraid of Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu's past achievements lie there. He dares to eat Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu absolutely dares to attack them.

In a hurry of time, Zhang Yu vigorously developed, and Liaodong's business flourished.

All the princes also made great progress, because they had enough food and enough population. Of course, they could equip a large number of troops.

Liu Bei of Luoyang is sharpening his sword and is planning to do something important.

What is he going to do?

Jia Xu told him that after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jian had a war with Guo Si and Lv Bu, and both sides suffered huge losses.

At this time, Chang'an had only about 120000 troops, which were divided into two parts.

At this time, Liu Bei already had 100000 troops and two generals. Jia Xu let Liu Bei attack Chang'an and control Liu Xie, and then established the foundation of hegemony with Luoyang.

"Mr. Wenhe, you are really a talented person and my son." Liu Bei said happily.

Liu Bei is very excited at this time. Chang'an is empty. It's time for him to show his fists.

However, Jia Xu said: "if 100000 troops are properly operated, they can enter Chang'an, but they must wait for the right time. This is not the best time. If they want to attack Chang'an at this time, they can join Liu Biao or Yuan Shao. They are very interested in entering Chang'an."

If you enter Chang'an, you can gain great prestige and reputation, and even master the emperor. Everyone will be moved.

Liu Biao, as the patriarch of the Han Dynasty, would benefit a lot if he could do it, while Yuan Shao, as the former leader of the alliance, could take the opportunity to command the world, which would also benefit him.

Liu Bei promised to plan carefully, and then sent Jia Xu away politely.

After Jia Xu left, Liu Bei's mind began to live.

"Liu Biao is the patriarch of the Han Dynasty, and so am I. if we attack Chang'an with him, we will lose our reputation."

"If I cooperate with Yuan Shao, I will become Yuan Shao's subordinate. When I share the benefits, Yuan Shao will get the most from me. At the same time, I will contribute the most."

Liu Bei is good at calculation. After some calculation, he thinks that everything is a loss.

No matter who you cooperate with, you can only play a supporting role.

Liu Biao's prestige is not comparable to that of Liu Bei. At that time, people all over the world will only think that Liu Biao defeated Chang'an, and Yuan Shao's prestige is even greater than that of Liu Biao.

"No, I'll fight Chang'an myself."

Jia Xu went back to his room and his mind began to move.

"Liu Bei is a good man. He is resourceful and has perseverance. It shows his extraordinary ability to get to this step. But I'm afraid he will lose the battle in Chang'an this time. I can't follow Liu Bei to escape."

Jia Xu had long seen that Liu Bei would not unite with Liu Biao or Yuan Shao, and he was eager for quick success and instant benefit, so he could not wait for the opportunity.

In fact, Liu Bei is the most patient person, but at this time in good times, the refugee ambition is too inflated.

Liu Bei began to prepare to attack Chang'an.

In Chang'an, Li Xi and Guo Si each had tens of thousands of troops. In this way, there was a relationship of interests, and there was no way to avoid conflicts.

In history, the contradiction between the two people could not be reconciled, and finally led to a war.

Not to mention Liu Bei and Chang'an, other vassals are also actively expanding their strength, and the next round of war may break out at any time.

And Zhang Yu is ready for everything.

Liaodong, of course, has his own eyes.

On the other side of Kuaiji County, a large area of territory has been acquired. With the expansion of troops and the management of local areas, the strength of Kuaiji county has also increased greatly.

Intelligence is constantly gathered to Zhang Yu.

Two months later, irrepressible Liu Bei finally attacked Chang'an.

For a moment, the world was watching, and everyone was looking here.

Because Luoyang and Chang'an are of great significance.

Chang'an was the imperial capital at this time, while Luoyang was the former imperial capital. The war between the two sides attracted people's attention.

On the contrary, the war between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan has received little attention.

However, Zhang Yu paid close attention to it and spent most of his time with Guo Jia.

After Guo Jia got the information, he began to analyze it.

"Lord, you can be sure that Yuan Shao is ready to intervene as soon as the situation changes." Guo Jia said to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "our lips are dead and our teeth are cold. At this time, we are not directly against Yuan Shao. Let Gongsun Zan help us, and we will develop the place well." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu's current strategic focus is to develop territory, and it's not time to develop military, so he doesn't want to fight Yuan Shao directly.
