Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 268 Everything Is An Illusion

Generally speaking, Xu You's proposal is not a big problem, and Zhang Ming is also interested.

But there is an argument for this sub-site.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ming said: "Yes, there is no problem in general. As for how to divide the land, we have to talk about it."

Zhang Ming said: "So, you send [-] troops, and I send [-] troops. On the territory, I want Bohai County in Jizhou and Qingshan County in Qingzhou, and the rest belongs to you."

"You also know that I don't agree with Xuzhou, and the territory in the south is not so easy to eat."

Xu You rolled his eyes twice, Zhang Ming wants these two counties, it is actually very simple, the whole land can be connected.

But Xu You is not worried at all, because if the long and narrow territory is not stationed with large troops, it will be easily cut off by the north and the south.

In other words, even if Zhang Ming gets these two counties, he may be defeated at any time.

But Xu You said with doubts on his face: "Lord Zhou Mu, do you think our sincerity is not enough? Why is your appetite so small?"

Zhang Ming only needs two counties?No lion opened his mouth wide?
This made Xu You not calm down.

Zhang Ming said: "I know how big my appetite is. I can't handle two more counties. Of course, I need less land, so I naturally need other things to make up for it."

"Please say?"

"There are two choices. One is to give me a month to recruit refugees throughout Qingzhou. I will not force them. I will only recruit refugees. The second is that Yuan Shao will compensate me for a sum of military expenses before the war begins."

"Okay, I'll fix the book and send it to Jizhou, and I can go back and forth in a few days."

Zhang Ming asked for more, which reassured Xu You. He was afraid that Zhang Ming would ask for too little, so he turned around and cooperated with Gongsun Zan to trap Yuan Shao.

Zhang Ming would not cooperate with Gongsun Zan. This was a political principle. Gongsun Zan lost popular support in Youzhou, and Zhang Ming used the banner of avenging Liu Yu. The two sides could only fight, not cooperate.

After discussing about an intention, there was still enough time, so Zhang Ming left.

Before and after leaving, he said: "The next time I contact Xi Zhicai directly, the two of us should not have too much contact, so as not to make people suspicious. In addition, I will not give you face in public."

"Understood, understood, in public, I may also offend Lord State Shepherd."

"Well, then be careful yourself, I won't trouble you of course, but if you are too aggressive, I won't be able to control you if you get beaten by my subordinates."

After Zhang Ming finished speaking, he left. It is better for the two of them not to contact each other. Of course, this kind of thing should be kept secret.

After Zhang Ming left, he called Xi Zhicai Tian Feng and others.

Of course, there is also Yan Rou in Ji County.

"I want to join forces with Yuan Shao to destroy Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop. This time Xu You will visit secretly after the football match. We have already discussed a possible intention."

Zhang Ming briefly introduced the situation.

Then, Zhang Ming and the others quickly discussed a solution.

Agreeing to form an alliance with Yuan Shao, followed by secret preparations.

The army cannot be mobilized so quickly, but more troops must be recruited and trained intensively.

Zhang Ming ordered to train everywhere, and he wanted to train more defenders.

Recruit [-] more city defenders, and then turn the existing city defenders into the main battle army.

Everything is going on in secret.

A few days later, Xu You received the order and agreed to Zhang Ming's conditions.

However, the conditions have been modified.

Yuan Shao gave Zhang Ming 30 military expenses, and Zhang Ming could recruit [-] refugees after taking down Qingzhou.

The terms were negotiated and everything was peaceful.

Secret negotiations, not many people know.

At this time, more and more football teams came to Youzhou.

There are quite a few princes who came this time.

Lu Bu, Tao Qian, Sun Ce, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Tao Qian all sent people.

Not only that, some county guards also sent people.

In short, there are more than a dozen football teams outside. Of course, they are all here to join in the fun. To celebrate the little prince's birthday, the important thing is to gain a sense of presence.

As for the football match, probably only Zhang Ming and Youzhou paid attention to it.

Youzhou is very lively, and Zhang Ming still triggers a newspaper in a few days. The newspaper can sell tens of thousands of copies in Youzhou.

Another month has passed, the football match has started for a few days, and the whole Youzhou is very lively.

There is already a group of loyal spectators on the football field.

Under the excitement, it was Xu You and Xi Zhicai who had completed the general strategy and were just waiting for the time to start the war.

"Fuck, can the national football team be more competitive."

Recently, Zhang Ming has almost ignored any political affairs and is on the field every day.

The national football team led by him has been defeated repeatedly. Of course, it is easy to crush the teams of the princes, because they don't even understand the rules.

But when the national football team faced the old strong team in Youzhou, no matter how hard he tried, it was futile and he kept losing.

Indulging in football games every day, from outsiders' perspective, Zhang Ming is not doing his job properly, just a person who seeks pleasure.

There are so many beauties at home, plus having fun all day long.

Representatives of the princes and some secret spies reported back Zhang Ming's situation.

Zhang Ming galloped on the field, the scene was huge, almost all his wives came to watch his game.

At the same time, a group of people came to cheer him on.

In addition, every time there is a Zhang Ming match, Zhang Ming will make it very extravagant.

These, of course, are all for building momentum, for other people to see.

At least until now, Gongsun Zan has not been vigilant.

Gongsun Zan was still licking his wounds at home.

Qingzhou, to him, is a relatively unfamiliar place, at least it is not as convenient as in Youzhou.

He wants to sort out all the places.

At this time, he still has no way to completely control the entire Qingzhou, he can only control Qingzhou in name.

For example, Kong Rong in Donglai County was not the prefect he appointed.

At this time, although Gongsun Zan was the governor of Qingzhou, he was appointed by himself. It was not so easy to intervene in Donglai County. At least Kong Rong did not cooperate in many places.

The same is true for several counties in the south. On the surface, they also respect Gongsun Zan as the governor, but they don't cooperate much with others.

What Gongsun Zan has to do now is sort out county by county and gradually replace his own people.

And even if the county guard is replaced by his own people, it will not be so easy to solve, and the counties below will also encounter such problems.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan can barely control Qingzhou now.

Youzhou is very lively and prosperous under Zhang Ming's governance.

And many people think that Zhang Ming started to enjoy himself and indulged in playthings all day long.

This is not difficult to understand, because Zhang Ming has been on the field for more than a month, completely ignoring government affairs.

It was seen several times that Tian Fengxi Zhicai came to Zhang Ming with official documents in person, but Zhang Ming was very impatient.

Of course, it was true that Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng came to him to deal with official documents, but Zhang Ming's impatience was fake, everything was an illusion.

Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng were also very busy. When they cooperated with Zhang Ming in acting, they had to take the opportunity to deal with official documents. They only came to Zhang Ming when they encountered problems, and then acted together.
