Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 281
Cao Cao had no choice but to face what should be faced.

Before long, he had sent tens of thousands of troops to the front line, and he was still supervising food and other matters in the rear, and he would go to Guandu for a generation soon.

Zhang Ming is also ready.

He called Xi Zhicai.

"Zhicai, ask Yuan Shao for Qingshan County in Qingzhou. This county is connected with our Bohai County and Le'an County in Qingzhou. It can just form a triangle and defend against foreign enemies alone."

"Ask Yuan Shao to ask for it now, and then immediately send someone to take over."

Zhang Ming reckoned that Yuan Shao would not argue with him too much at this time, and if he did, Zhang Ming would also.

It may not be enough to succeed, but it is still possible to make Yuan Shao unable to fight.

Xi Zhicai immediately went to make arrangements, and sure enough, a few days later, Yuan Shao sent someone to reply, and within a month, they would withdraw and hand over the county to Zhang Ming.

"Hmph, one month."

Zhang Ming won't wait that long, there may be another change at that time.

"Assemble [-] troops immediately, and start tomorrow. I will personally go and seize Qingshan County."

Zhang Ming didn't care too much, he got the territory first.

Act now.

The next day, Zhang Ming led the army and set off.

A few days later, they arrived at Qingshan County.

"Lord Zhou Mu, why did you lead the troops here in person? Without the order of the general, it would be easy for us to start a war." The prefect of Qingshan County came out to see Zhang Ming and said.

The prefect is also considered courageous and a capable official.

"What's your name?"

"I'm next, Fan Qing."

"Fan Qing, I won't make things difficult for you. I will give you two days. Yuan Shao, your so-called general in Qingshan County, has already been given to me. Two days for you to tidy up and get out of the city immediately."

"No, I didn't receive the general's order. Even if I die in battle, I still have to defend the city." Fan Qing said.

This Fan Qing was not afraid of Zhang Ming at all, he argued hard.

He is reasonable, and Zhang Ming is even more reasonable.

Zhang Ming said: "That's your business. If you don't hand over the city in two days, then I will come and pick it up myself."

Fan Qing was tough, while Zhang Ming didn't even intend to negotiate, he just asked for the city, and if he didn't give it, he would fight.

"Lord State Shepherd, hurry back and forth for more than ten days, please ask Lord Zhou Shepherd to wait for more than ten days." Fan Qing was also afraid, this fight would be really troublesome.

"No time, Benzhou Mu is a very busy person, and he has to go back to have a baby, how can he wait here for so long, two days is two days."

"Once it arrives in two days, you don't have to leave."

Zhang Ming didn't give Fan Qing a chance to negotiate, and let Fan Qing leave without saying a word.

How could Fan Qing do it.

He went back anxiously, looking for someone to discuss a solution.

However, if you can't negotiate, you can't think of a solution. The only option is to fight or not to fight.

Fan Qing advocated defending the city and asked the surrounding military bases for help.

In fact, many Yuan Jun from Qingzhou and Jizhou knew about Zhang Ming's arrival.

However, his subordinates did not want to defend.

They all knew that Zhang Ming had indeed negotiated with Yuan Shao to sell the city, and now there must be a clue.

Once there was a fight, they would definitely die in vain in the end, and they would die in vain if they were killed by Zhang Ming.

At this time, Zhang Ming didn't reason with them, which was the most fatal.

Helpless, after a day of fighting, Fan Qing couldn't control the mentality of his men who were afraid of fighting.

Finally, Fan Qing gave in.

But he let the army take away everything important.

Of course, there were still a lot of things that he couldn't take away, so he sold them directly to some local family merchants.

The two handed over the city, and Zhang Ming met Fan Qing at the gate of the city.

"Prefect Fan, you are very wise."

Fan Qing cupped his hands and said: "If the army is not under my control, unless the general orders, you will never get the city."

There are also many factions in Yuan Shao.

The generals defending the city were not of one mind with him, and they checked and balanced each other, so he could only submit.

Zhang Ming successfully won the city, which is very important.

"There is Lao Fan prefect."

Zhang Ming led troops into the city, and there were not many troops stationed in the city, so Zhang Ming didn't plan to invest too much in development.

After occupying the city, Zhang Ming ordered to recruit a group of people to build the city in Beiping.

On the huge construction site over there, more people are working at the same time.

A few days later, Yuan Shao was very angry when he received that Zhang Ming sent troops to take down the city.

Anger is anger, but there is no way.

Yuan Shao called a few advisers and said: "At first, I wanted to delay. Once Zhang Ming sent troops, the territory would not be given to him. I didn't expect this fellow to send troops directly to force him to leave."

Everyone was helpless, and they were most afraid of this kind of rascal.

Guo Tu said: "My lord, it is necessary. Zhang Ming's garrison is there, and the troops are scattered again. We only need to use a small number of troops to control it in a few directions."

Everyone knows that once the city is in Zhang Ming's hands, there is no way to get it back, at least until Cao Cao is defeated.

Yuan Shao knew that he couldn't get it back for the time being, so he didn't say much.

"Since that's the case, we are going to attack Cao Cao over there, starting next month."

Yuan Shao could only send someone to reprimand Zhang Ming, there was no other way.

Zhang Ming left [-] troops and sent some civilian officials to take over the place, and then he went back.

After returning, Zhang Ming received the news that Yuan Shao was preparing to go on an expedition, and Zhang Ming also began to prepare.

"It's finally about to start. It's only the summer of 193, and it will be several years before Yuan Cao decides the winner."

"This time, maybe there is no result for both parties."

Zhang Ming doesn't care how much, since he wants to fight, he should fight hard.

When the day to dispatch troops was approaching, Zhang Ming decided to lead the troops out in person.

A total of 5000 people, this time he led Guan Zhangzhao, Xu Huang, Xu Rong and Yan Rou to guard the house.

Xi Zhicai sacrificed wine for the military commander, and Tian Feng was in charge of all government affairs. The two of them would be fine if they cooperated.

Set off and join Yuan Shao's army at Jizhou.

Yuan Shao is rich and powerful, and sent 10,000+ troops, and another 10,000+ troops are assembled in various places, and they may attack at any time.

"Zhangzhou Mu, I didn't expect you to come in person. My lord sent me to be with you."

Gao Lan followed Zhang Ming with [-] troops, and Zhang Ming understood that this was surveillance.

If you love to watch, just watch.

"Then there is General Laugo."

The two actually set off as forwards.

Along the way, Gaolan flags were waving, showing military might.

At the same time, Yuan Shao held a grand swearing-in meeting.

Yuan Shao claimed to have an army of 30, and went to kill Cao Cao.

Inside Cao Cao's camp, some people began to worry, but no one had any confidence.

Cao Cao had a headache several times during meetings.

No way, we have to continue.

Finally, Cao Cao also personally led the army to rush over.

The two sides assembled for the first generation of Guandu.

"General Gao, Yuan Benchu ​​may not be able to eat Cao Cao this time."

On the way, when the march was boring, Zhang Ming said to Gao Lan.

"Cao Cao, the strength is just like that. There is no way to compare the two sides. It will be a matter of time before they perish." Gao Lan said proudly.
