Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 116
Gongsun Zan and the others discussed for a month before raising troops to force Zhang Ming.

Because the eunuchs did not dare to leave their own counties. On the one hand, they were afraid of being intercepted and killed by Zhang Ming on the way, and at the same time, they were afraid of leaking the news.

Once they all left, Zhang Ming knew what was going on.

In fact, Zhang Ming's intelligence system has already received news one after another, but they are not sure what will happen to them.

For more than a month, Zhang Fei has been attacking everywhere, and has already gone to other counties to collect taxes.

The tax collectors have already collected several waves, and some of the fearful families have paid some taxes more or less.

However, most people paid very little, and those who paid in full were very, very few.

However, this also made Zhang Ming a fortune, and at least the extra [-] troops could support him.

In this way, the entire family in Youzhou was extremely angry with Zhang Ming.

I can't wait to hammer Zhang Ming to death.

When they knew that Gongsun Zan and other prefects were going to intervene, all the families immediately started to move.

All the aristocratic families are connected in series to give support to the prefects so that they can do it with peace of mind.

When the eunuchs began to gather troops, Zhang Ming called Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Xi Zhicai.

"Zhicai, what suggestion do you have?" Zhang Ming explained the basic situation.

Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, it has already started now. If it stops, then the prefects of all counties will continue to unite and put pressure on the lord. The lord will be unable to move an inch in the future. We can only defeat them."

Zhang Ming nodded, that's exactly what he meant.

"Okay, Zhicai stays behind and continues to train the army. I will go support with my second and fourth brothers."

Everything was arranged at home, and Zhang Ming wasn't afraid.

So, they set off with Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.

They brought hundreds of people, and then went to join Zhang Fei and Xu Huang.

A few days later, Gongsun Zan and the others gathered an army of [-] and marched towards western Liaoning.

Gongsun Zan led the coalition forces, a total of 1 people.

Ten thousand troops came in mighty force and confronted Zhang Ming in western Liaoning.

In this Youzhou, there will be two powerful armies confronting each other.

This shrouded Youzhou in a haze.

Gongsun Zan led an army of [-], and Zhang Ming led Guan Zhangzhao and Xu Huang to confront Gongsun Zan.

"Zhang Ming, you have acted against the law, and the sky is angry and people complain. Now this prefect and the other prefects are jointly attacking you, you have something to say."

The two armies faced each other on a large flat ground. Although the opponent's army was twice as large as his own, Zhang Ming was not afraid at all. The opponent was pieced together.

"Hahaha." Zhang Ming laughed a few times at first, then sat down and said immediately: "The prefect collects taxes according to the order. What's wrong? All the people who resist the tax are killed. The prefect is kind. Arrest them all, and wait for His Majesty to kill them all."

Zhang Ming said something that left them dumbfounded.

Everyone heard it very harshly, but it was not a taste.

However, Zhang Ming corrected his position and said: "You guys, what's the point of gathering people here? Don't tell me to form a joint army without His Majesty's order. They are here to assist the prefect to collect taxes."

"Zhang Ming, let you spit out lotus flowers today, and you will never change my determination to expel you." Seeing that his people were shaken, Gongsun Zan hurriedly said, "We will unite with everyone in Youzhou to expel you. Don't blame us."

The law does not blame the crowd, there are so many of them, and with the cooperation of the imperial family, the emperor has nothing to do with them.

Zhang Ming's estrangement plan had failed, and Gongsun Zan could see it clearly.

Zhang Ming remained calm, sat on the horse, looked around, and then said: "This prefect is not targeting anyone, but wants to say that everyone present is scum."

On Gongsun Zan's side, everyone was furious. As long as Gongsun Zan ordered, they would kill and tear Zhang Ming to pieces.

However, Zhang Ming ignored their angry eyes and said, "I don't think it's better than this. The two armies are fighting, and there is no morality. You may not be sanctioned by the court, but there must be settlements after autumn. Your Majesty will not tolerate such a thing." Help the rebels."

"and."

"I collect taxes according to the decree, but you refuse to accept it."

Zhang Ming pointed at the crowd and said: "How about this, my four brothers, plus my subordinate Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, you send ten people to challenge me and any one of them, as long as I win three games, I will give up and go back. What do you think?"

Guan Zhangzhao's reputation was already very famous during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Gongsun Zan was not sure.

Zhang Ming saw that Gongsun Zan was hesitating, so he shouted, "The whole army is ready."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Zhang Ming's army suddenly boiled with murderous intent.

Immediately, someone on Gongsun Zan's side was overwhelmed, and they backed away quietly.

The momentum of the two armies is comparable.

One side has experienced several battlefields, and the other side is an army made up of several companies.

"Prefect Gongsun, I'll give you a day to think about it. If you want to go to war, I'm afraid you need to recruit tens of thousands of soldiers."

After Zhang Ming finished speaking, he led the people away.

When leaving, the army was in strict order, as long as they were attacked, they could immediately counterattack.

Gongsun Zan is a sensible person and capable. He has seen the strength of Zhang Ming's army.

They have 1 people, but their own 1000 and the remaining [-] or more are patched together.

Such an army would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of a well-organized battle formation.

"Hey~"

Gongsun Zan sighed deeply, he knew he couldn't beat him.

If you can't beat it, you can only accept Zhang Ming's plan.

After returning, Gongsun Zan called everyone over.

"Now, our momentum has been suppressed. We really can't beat Zhang Ming in battle. We can only win by fighting." Gongsun Zan said to the envoys from the various counties.

"I'll wait for Gongsun Taishou."

The troops sent by the counties are led by generals. At present, there is no good way but to fight a battle.

Gongsun Zan immediately began to select candidates, including himself, he selected a total of six people.

There is no requirement that one person cannot play at the same time in the ten challenges, and there is no rule that the same person cannot be challenged.

It was because of the above reasons that Gongsun Zan wanted to agree to Zhang Ming's conditions.

Decisions were made quickly internally.

The next day, the two armies faced off again.

Gongsun Zan carefully observed Zhang Ming's queue.

The military appearance is strict, and the soldiers are calm and vigorous.

The experienced Gongsun Zan knew that Zhang Ming's side was very powerful.

"Prefect Zhang, we are willing to accept your conditions, but we have to decide the rules of the challenge," Gongsun Zan said.

It's fine if the other party agrees. If Guan Zhangzhao and Xu Huang really lose, they will admit it.

"First of all, there must be a document. Second, the form of the challenge is arbitrary. We can challenge any one of your five people at will. Third, if you lose, you must not use any excuses to collect taxes in the future."

"Okay, the prefect agrees."

Zhang Ming readily agreed, and then said: "I can still make some concessions."
