Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 266 Appointed as Shepherd of Youzhou
Gongsun Yue died in the battle, and more than half of the others were killed, and more than a thousand people were captured.

Gongsun Yue died in the battle, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei chased after him.

And Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yun, and Xu Rong immediately withdrew their troops. Instead of chasing Gongsun Zan, they headed towards Fanyang County.

Xi Zhicai and the others are going to take down Fanyang County.

A crushing defeat.

Gongsun Zan suffered a huge loss this time.

Guan Yu pursued, but this time it was not so smooth. Yan Gang led hundreds of people to set up obstacles on the path, making it difficult for them to catch up.

After Gongsun Zan ran for a while, one of his generals suggested, "My lord, let the army of Fanyang County retreat too. Let's retreat to Qingzhou, otherwise we won't be able to leave once we are surrounded by Zhang Ming's army."

Gongsun Zan felt that it was reasonable, and although he was not reconciled, he had no choice but to give up.

So, Gongsun Zan sent someone to interrogate, and then hurriedly led them away.

Speaking of Zhang Ming, after chasing for a while, he found that he didn't need to pursue, so he led the army to kill Daijun.

There are not many soldiers and horses in this generation of county. If Gongsun Zan escapes, he can be easily defeated.

A few days later, when the dust settled, Zhang Ming swept across the three counties and brought the entire Youzhou under his command.

When Xi Zhicai rushed to the county town, Gongsun Zan and his army had already fled, Xi Zhicai did not pursue but occupied the county town.

On Zhang Ming's side, the process of attacking Daijun was also very easy, and the enemy surrendered directly.

Fanyang County, Dai County, and Shanggu County, the three counties originally controlled by Gongsun Zan, were easily taken down by Zhang Ming.

Gongsun Zan suffered heavy losses, and Gongsun Yue was killed in battle.

Gongsun Zan retreated to Qingzhou, but Zhang Ming did not continue to attack.

After winning several counties, the entire Youzhou is under his own control. Now Zhang Ming is under a lot of pressure to defend.

He found that the army was insufficient, and many places needed to be rearranged.

Zhang Ming quickly took down the entire Youzhou, and the situation has changed drastically.

Now, the power in Zhang Ming's hands has increased greatly, and several counties have been annexed. Zhang Ming must expand his army, and at the same time, the deployment of troops also requires great changes.

This has a huge impact, first of all Yuan Shao.

Originally Yuan Shao wanted to send his troops to attack Gongsun Zan, but suddenly discovered that Zhang Ming might be stronger than Gongsun Zan.

At this time, the three parties were afraid and did not dare to send troops.

It's very simple. I'm afraid that the two tigers will compete, and in the end it will be cheaper for the third party.

This Gongsun Zan is a living example. He sent troops to attack Liu Yu, and in the end Zhang Ming was taken advantage of.

The northern land has temporarily calmed down, and there are no wars in several counties.

Zhang Ming, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao all stood still.

Although Gongsun Zan failed, he still controlled most of Qingzhou and part of Jizhou.

When Gongsun Zan went back, he was also afraid of Zhang Ming's call, so he actively prepared.

However, Zhang Ming's forces were scattered and not enough to attack Gongsun Zan.

After Zhang Ming took Dai Commandery, he left [-] soldiers and horses behind, and then rushed back to Ji County by himself.

Zhang Ming ordered Xu Rong to lead [-] troops to defend Fanyang County, while the rest of the troops retreated first.

Everyone returned to Ji County.

Zhang Ming was in high spirits, at this moment, the whole Youzhou was under his control.

Xu Rong was in Fanyang County, Zhang Ming sent Guan Yu to Dai County, and Zhang Fei to Shanggu County, each with [-] troops to guard these places.

The three of them surrounded the county where Jixian County was located, to defend against the direction that Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, and the grassland might attack.

Today, Zhang Ming's strategy is more in-depth, and Liaoxi County, Youbeiping County and other places do not need to send many troops.

Zhang Ming began to focus on Ji County. First, he moved the Empress Dowager He and the prince to Ji County.

In addition, he also planned to build a residence for the prince in Jixian County, which will be in Beiping in later generations.

This is the prelude to the establishment of the capital.

Of course, only Zhang Ming knew the purpose, and everyone else thought that Zhang Ming built the palace just for the Empress Dowager He and the prince.

However, Zhang Ming is building his own harem. Although it is for Empress Dowager He, he and several wives can also live in it.

Guan Zhang, Zhao Xurong were all outside, and the rest came.

Zhang Ming convened a discussion in the State Shepherd's Mansion.

There are a lot of civil and military personnel under his command.

When everyone arrived, Chen Yang announced, "The Queen Mother Yizhi."

"Protect Zhang Ming, the great general of the Protectorate, as the Shepherd of Youzhou, in charge of all the military affairs of Youzhou."

"Meet Zhangzhou Mu."

Everyone knows what happened to the so-called Empress Dowager Yizhi.

But this is enough in the name of the Queen Mother.

Everyone was happy, the stronger Zhang Ming was, the more benefits they would have in the future.

Cai Yong and Lu Zhi also came.

Zhang Ming accepted their salute, and then said: "Cai Gong, Lu Gong, there is one more important thing to ask of you."

"Please tell me, Zhou Mu, what can I use the old man for?" Lu Zhi said.

Lu Zhi, the professional education at this time, has faded out of Zhang Ming's inner circle.

And Cai Yong is Zhang Ming's father-in-law, so he will definitely help him.

Zhang Ming nodded and said, "I heard that Mr. Zheng Xuan and Zheng are leaving Qingzhou, please take the time to write a few letters to him and come to Youzhou to study."

"I will print all the classics of the Han Dynasty into paper books, and then build a large library with hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of books in it for all students in the world to learn."

Neither Cai Yong nor Lu Zhi could refuse. Zhang Ming wanted to prosper Confucianism. As Confucian disciples, they had no reason to refuse.

Of course, what Zhang Ming prospered was not only Confucianism, but what he really wanted to prosper was Chinese culture.

The two elders took orders, and they had nothing to do with the next thing, so they simply left.

Zhang Ming began to announce orders, and ordered several officials of the State Shepherd's Mansion. Tian Feng still had an overview of all the administration in Youzhou.

Then appointed several prefects.

Xu Rong temporarily served as the prefect of Fanyang County, Guan Yu served as the prefect of Dai County, but Zhang Ming of Shanggu County did not let Zhang Fei be the prefect, and sent another prefect there.

After the appointment of officials, Zhang Ming adjusted the army again.

Zhang Ming ordered to select some people from the surrendered soldiers and expand the force to [-].

Zhang Ming's expansion of the army is already a matter of course.

Now he still has to sort out the government affairs of several counties slowly.

Zhang Mingjing swallowed the entire Youzhou, and the counties and counties that he just joined at this time have a large gap in personnel and need to be sorted out slowly.

Zhang Ming's truce requires digesting the entire Youzhou before he can continue to fight in the future.

"I will be the state shepherd of Youzhou from now on. In a state, who will compete with him?"

Today, there are not many princes who control a state, and the most stable ones should be Tao Qian and Shuchuan.

The rest of the princes are not so good at controlling a state.

Zhang Ming's power has entered the fast lane of development, and he has many things to do in the entire Youzhou.

Next, Zhang Ming began to deal with daily government affairs. In addition, in order to celebrate his becoming the governor of Youzhou, he ordered all counties in Youzhou to form a football team.

Soccer leagues are also to be restarted.

He will build several large football fields in Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbeiping and Jixian.

In addition, he ordered the newspaper to be renamed Youzhou Evening News and distributed throughout Youzhou.
