Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 277 Negotiations
The whole Youzhou was talking like this, and Zhang Mingqing was judged as useless by the outside world.

And Zhang Ming not only said, but also acted.

Lots of soccer fields are going to be built, and more games to come.

Zhang Ming did more than that, he was also planning to choose a palace lady.

Of course, the palace ladies are used by the queen mother and the prince, but the outside world doesn't think so.

The outside world thinks that Zhang Ming himself wants to enjoy it.

But Zhang Ming didn't care what they thought, the more miserable the appointment, the better.

Many people expressed their disappointment with Zhang Ming and made comments against Zhang Ming, but Zhang Ming still went his own way.

The project has started, tens of thousands of people have already arrived at the construction site, and a large area has been leveled.

And Zhang Ming is also busy, he wants to preside over the design of the city.

Zhang Ming is not a professional, so he can only plan bigger and more symmetrical, and then plan some drainage and greening, etc.

Zhang Ming is diligent and conscientious in the internal affairs, and he is busy with the outside world, and his wives don't take much care of them.

To the outside world, Zhang Ming was addicted to wine and sex all day long.

Sure enough, two months later, Zhang Ming didn't do anything, and the outside world didn't know anything about him, and everyone thought he was addicted to drinking and sex all day long.Originally Yuan Shao was very wary of him and often sent people to investigate.

But the information collected was that Zhang Ming didn't practice martial arts, so Yuan Shao felt relieved.

To build a big city, you need to invest all the income from Youzhou, and there will be no achievements in a few years.

Zhang Ming didn't conscript and had nothing else to do, so Yuan Shao naturally didn't regard him as the main enemy in the short term.

Yuan Shao summoned his advisers.

"Now, I have devoured Qingzhou, and my strength has greatly increased. Then I will take down Bingzhou first. Bingzhou is not difficult, just send a general."

"The next step is to attack in other directions. Do you have any suggestions?"

At this time, Yuan Shao was at the height of his power and was already the strongest prince.

Ju Shou came out and said: "My lord, you should take Youzhou with all your strength, then our army will not need to garrison later, and if we go south, no one can stop us."

What Ju Shou said is of course reasonable, and some people think so.

But Guo Tu was the first to oppose it.

"My lord, Zhangming of Youzhou, with a [-] army, it is difficult for us to conquer it in a short time. If it lasts for three years, our army will definitely weaken, and other princes will surely rise."

What Guo Tu said is also very reasonable. Zhang Ming is not easy to fight, and he may not be able to win after three years of fighting.

Therefore, Yuan Shao was entangled again, what should he do?
After some calculations, Yuan Shao felt that it would be most cost-effective to attack Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao now has an emperor, his strength is not strong.

When attacking Cao Cao, Zhang Ming is most afraid of making trouble behind his back.

Therefore, how to deal with Zhang Ming, whether to ally with him or send troops to resist also began to quarrel.

Several counselors have their own reasons, and indeed all of them are fine.

Yuan Shao couldn't make a decision, so he didn't take any action for the time being.

But Cao Cao has a keen sense of smell. He doesn't know what Zhang Ming is going to do, but he knows that Yuan Shao may attack him at any time.

Cao Cao was very nervous, not only actively defending, but also had to find a way.

Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and others suggested that Cao Cao contact Zhang Ming.

However, at this time Zhang Ming obviously closed the door and prepared to ignore the outside affairs.

Cao Cao was worried day and night and couldn't sleep.

After a few days of thinking, Cao Cao decided to take a football team to Youzhou and negotiate terms with Zhang Ming.

And Yuan Shao's idea is similar to that, and he also sends a football team.

Both sides want to win over Zhang Ming.

A few days later, Zhang Ming received the news.

Zhang Ming called to v Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai.

"Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both intend to win me over, and they will use troops in a short time. How do you think we should deal with it?"

Both of them thought about it.

Tian Feng said: "My lord, there will be no major wars for at least half a year."

Tian Feng is an expert in internal affairs, and through intelligence, he can judge that Yuan Shao is not ready yet.

Zhang Ming knew that in half a year, he could indeed do a lot of things.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ming took a sip of tea and said: "Since there is still half a year left, we will train the army well, and then we will make a decision when the war is approaching."

Xi Zhicai also thought about it clearly, and he said: "Master, we must protect Cao Cao, but Cao Cao is not so easy to defeat. In the middle, we can go with Yuan Shao first, to benefit Yuan Shao, when Cao Cao wants to win us over, There must be a huge price to pay.”

What Xi Zhicai said made sense, now everyone thought that Zhang Ming was going to fight Yuan Shao together with Cao Cao, because his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.

But Xi Zhicai suggested that Zhang Ming do the opposite.

Zhang Ming pretended to be attached to Yuan Shao and benefited from Yuan Shao.

After making a decision, the next step will be easy.

Soon after, envoys from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao arrived.

Cao Cao's emissaries were his elder sons Cao Ang and Guo Jia.

This is the important person.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are good friends, but Zhang Ming asked Xi Zhicai to receive them and did not show up.

On Yuan Shao's side were Xu You and Gao Lan, and Zhang Ming received them personally.

"You two, I didn't expect us to meet so soon. I hope your football team can achieve good results."

The two sides were polite and chatted for a long time.

Later, Xu You introduced the topic.

"General Huguo, I came here this time to discuss important matters. I wanted to conquer Yanzhou at the beginning. I don't know what General Huguo thinks?"

Negotiations, you can't hide something that can't be concealed, otherwise you can't talk.

"Cao Cao also understands that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, so he sent Cao Ang to come. After Yuan Shao swallows Cao Cao, he will definitely attack me."

Xu You and Gao Lan were taken aback by Zhang Ming's words. This was already the worst scenario they had imagined.

The three of them were silent for a long time, Xu You said: "At first, I still hoped to live in peace with the General Protecting the Nation."

Zhang Ming nodded, and he said, "I think so too, but reality doesn't allow it. If Cao Cao doesn't exist, I must be the most dangerous person."

This negotiation is a bit difficult. Although Xu You is smart, he doesn't know how to persuade Zhang Ming.

However, as a general, Gao Lan didn't think so much. He said directly: "My lord's strength, even if he fights with both of you, he will not be afraid, and he will not lose."

Zhang Ming was not angry, he said flatly: "I was never afraid of Yuan Shao before, so naturally I won't now."

Gao Lan continued, "Then what do you want?"

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Ming said: "The world today is afraid that there will be conflicts for a hundred years, just like the Warring States Period. Although I want to be peaceful, I can't be alone. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both ask me, so I will wait for the price. Gu, what can Yuan Benchu ​​give me?"

What can I give?
Xu You and Gao Lan were very surprised, but Zhang Ming was willing to negotiate terms.

As long as you are willing to talk, there is a chance.

Xu You said, "What do you think, money or beauty?"

"I think about all of these, but I don't lack them now. I have a lot of beauties, but not many who can make my heart move. Why don't you give it to me? One county is enough, so I won't expand the army. I will be a land emperor in peace and enjoy the land." lifetime."

"However, this Yuan Shao is a few years older than me, and his health is not as good as mine. Don't die early, otherwise I might have a chance to take everything from him."
