Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 263 Gather Liu Yu's old department and grow in strength

Zhang Ming was still planning when to go back.

As a result, the scouts came to report urgently.

"What, Dong Zhuo is dead too."

"But Lu Bu killed him?"

"My lord, according to the news, it should be Lu Bu who killed him. Detailed information will be sent soon."

Hearing the news, Zhang Ming was kept silent for a long time even though he had been prepared.

Dong Zhuo is dead.

It is about a month away from the time in history.

Without Diao Chan, I don't know if it was designed by Wang Yun.

In the end, Lu Bu killed him, and only Lu Bu could kill Dong Zhuo. The other Xiliang troops would not kill Dong Zhuo at all.

Dong Zhuo's death is a big event.

Zhang Ming ordered: "Dong Zhuo is dead, I will go back immediately, report to the queen mother, and tell the world that I will also worship the ancestors of the great man."

Zhang Ming found an excuse to withdraw his troops.

In fact, Zhang Ming could withdraw his troops at any time without the news of Dong Zhuo's death.

Zhang Ming immediately wrote back and asked people to reprint the newspaper day and night. The headline of the newspaper was that Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, and listed Dong Zhuo's various crimes in Chang'an.

Then came the news that Liu Yu was killed.

Liu Yu's prestige in Youzhou is very high. Zhang Ming wrote about Liu Yu's various achievements, and then he attacked Gongsun Zan.

Zhang Ming's public declaration in the newspaper was never ending with Gongsun Zan.

Under the banner of revenge for Liu Yu.

This banner is very useful, and the dead Liu Yu is also useful for this.

Zhang Ming withdrew his troops quickly, very quickly.

Two days later, the newspaper was reprinted. This time, it shared 10 pages, four of which were about the death of Dong Zhuo and Liu Yu, and the rest were normal sections.

This time, the newspapers were delivered directly to various places and started selling quickly.

Selling directly on the street, a group of people shouted.

"Selling newspapers, Liu Zhoumu was killed, Dong Zhuo is dead."

"Extraordinary, Liu Zhoumu was killed."

"Shocked, Dong Zhuo was killed by his adopted son."

For this issue of the newspaper, Zhang Ming will not only sell it in Youzhou and Qingzhou, but also quickly deliver it to other places, and plans to sell it in other places as well.

This time, Zhang Ming reprinted 10,000+ copies.

Take the opportunity to expand your influence and occupy the moral high ground.

Zhang Ming returned to Ji County and ordered: "Immediately issue a call to action to attack Gongsun Zan and avenge Liuzhou Mu."

In fact, Tian Feng has already helped to prepare the call to action, as long as Zhang Ming prints it out and distributes it to various places.

Liu Yu's killing was shocking enough, but this Gongsun Zan even had his head cut off.

"Report, my lord, someone sent a letter claiming to be Yan Rou under Liu Yubu."

"Bring it up."

Zhang Ming opened the letter.

"General Huguo, my subordinate Yan Rou, and the former Liu Gong's subordinates Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin and others, I heard that the general wants to raise troops to attack Gongsun Zan, and lead the remnant soldiers to join the general. I hope the general will not give up. We are willing."

The content of the letter is very simple. These people gathered a group of Liu Yu's old troops to surrender to Zhang Ming and avenge Liu Yu together.

"Reply to Yan Rou, and I will go out of the city to meet with her in person, and we will talk in detail after the meeting."

What Zhang Ming wanted to say could not be left in words, so he had to have a face-to-face interview.

The next day, Yan Rou wrote back and agreed to meet.

Zhang Ming went out of the city with several hundred guards.

Five miles away from the city, Zhang Ming saw Yan Rou who had come, Zhang Ming told everyone to retreat, and the two talked alone.

"General Yan Rou."

"Guardian General."

"I've read the letter. I want to crusade against Gongsun Zan. It's true. I crusade for Liu Yu. It's just a title. Most of it is for my own benefit."

What Zhang Ming said was very straightforward, but Yan Rou was a little surprised.

"Understood, General Protector is no different from other princes."

"That's right, I have a big man in my mouth, but I don't have a big man in my heart, and a big man has no hearts,"

Frankly admitted.

Zhang Ming will say this, but it is something that everyone understands.

It's better to say it out, they put themselves into Liu Yu's affairs, but if Zhang Ming wants to turn against the big man in the future, what will they do?

Are we waiting for these people to rebel against Zhang Ming in the future?It would be better not to have them now.

Yan Rou was silent for a long time, and then said: "General Protector is more open-minded than many people."

Zhang Ming looked at the other party, and Yan Rou was also silent for a long time.

"General Protector, can you really attack Gongsun Zan and destroy him?"

"Yes, for sure, and soon."

"However, Gongsun Zan is so powerful that he can only come in a little bit. I will definitely not be able to defeat him in a short time. What I can promise is that Gongsun Zan is my great enemy. I will definitely defeat him. I can also promise that others can surrender. Only Gongsun Zan Must die."

There's no need to hide it now. If Zhang Ming promises too much, he won't be able to get there all at once. If Yan Rou leads people to rebel, or if he doesn't cooperate during the battle, it will be even worse.

"So, okay, I'm willing to serve as General Protector."

Zhang Ming laughed, and then said: "I can promise that within five years, or even three years, Gongsun Zan will die."

Yan Rou believed in Zhang Ming, and Zhang Ming did have the initiative to attack Gongsun Zan.

The two had no enmity, and avenging Liu Yu was nonsense. Yan Rou and the others, as Liu Yu's senior officials, naturally knew that Zhang Ming and Liu Yu had no friendship, so it was impossible to say that they avenged him.

But both Zhang Ming and Gongsun Zan are vassals, natural enemies. It is normal for Zhang Ming to attack Gongsun Zan, and it will definitely happen. If Zhang Ming does not attack him, then Gongsun Zan will attack Zhang Ming.

"Guardian, we have more than [-] people, please take us in." Yan Rou dismounted and bowed.

"Okay, you go back first, tomorrow I will open the door and lead people to greet you in person."

If you want to accept them, you must accept them solemnly.

Zhang Ming and Yan Rou went back separately.

The next day, Zhang Ming personally led 3000 people, and Guan Zhangzhao greeted Yan Rou and others at the gate of the city.

Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, Xian Yu Yin, and a group of others, plus more than [-] soldiers.

Zhang Ming accepted them grandly.

Back at the State Shepherd's Mansion, Zhang Ming held another banquet.

"Since you have already served me, I will naturally not treat you badly."

"We must abide by the agreement and destroy Gongsun Zan."

"Let's arrange your duties."

"Yan Rou is the prefect of Zhuojun."

"Thank you, my lord."

The prefect's mansion of Zhuojun is also in this Jixian County, which is regarded as the most important county in Youzhou, and this Zhangming was given to Yan Rou.

"Xian Yufu is the prefect of Liaoxi."

"Xian Yuyin is the prefect of Xuantu County."

Zhang Ming appointed three eunuchs in a row, and Zhang Ming only had a few eunuchs under his command.

But Zhang Ming was not unprepared. First of all, the prefect under him did not have military and political power, at least not the military power.

In addition, several counties are not adjacent to each other, and are separated from other counties in the middle. It is also very difficult to rebel.

Everyone was moved, and Zhang Ming arranged several other officials, and those who were capable were given high positions.

These people are also talents, and they were originally high-ranking officials of a state.

Of course, Zhang Ming asked them to study for three months first. Zhang Ming's administrative system is very different from before.

After the arrangement, everyone saw Zhang Ming's sincerity.
