Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 299
Zhang Ming's story spread widely.

I don't know how many people know what Zhang Ming did.

Naturally, Xun Yu and Cao Ang heard about it, and they went to the street to wait on purpose, and saw Zhang Ming's trip.

Back to the place where he lived, Cao Ang said: "I really don't understand this Zhang Ming, it's obviously very extravagant, but it doesn't harm the people."

Xun Yu also replied, "Yes, this Zhang Ming is willing to sell even such good weapons and equipment. It seems that he doesn't want to fight for hegemony, but just wants to defend it."

Weapons and equipment are definitely important things in the struggle for world supremacy.

And Zhang Ming actually sold this kind of strategic material as soon as he said it.

This money, Zhang Ming may spend it squandering.

In fact, folk rumors are even more exaggerated.

It is said that Zhang Ming collects hundreds of beauties and sings every night.

There are dozens of dishes for meals every day.

Take a bath with fresh flowers and milk every day.

In addition, washing feet with tea and gargling with fine wine are commonplace.

Anyway, after folk processing, the degree of corruption in Zhang Ming's life has caught up with Dong Zhuo.

It is even more exaggerated than Dong Zhuo, because Dong Zhuo just built an eyebrow house to enjoy, while Zhang Ming directly built an imperial city, a new city.

In fact, Zhang Ming's life is not frugal, and he treats his wife even better. He uses high-end cosmetics and eats very well.

However, it is not as exaggerated as the folks.

Zhang Ming's level of extravagance is about the same as that of ordinary aristocratic families.

He can make money, enjoy some and so what.

When Cao Ang and Xun Yu were still studying Zhang Ming.

In Xuzhou, a big event happened.

Tao Qian's men killed Cao Cao's father.

This Xun Yu and Cao Ang still read the news in Zhang Ming's newspaper.

Zhang Ming intends to collect news from all over the world. After receiving the news, he arrives in Youzhou a few days later, and publishes it in the newspaper.

"What? My grandfather was killed."

Cao Ang was so sad that he cried and said, "I want to go back immediately."

"My lord, you can't go back."

Xun Yu dissuaded Cao Ang.

"My lord, my lord will definitely take revenge. When the time comes, we will go to war. We need money, a lot of money."

"Besides, you can only borrow so much money as a hostage this time, and we may need to borrow more money in the future."

Cao Ang couldn't go back.

Cao Ang cried bitterly and said, "But I have to go back."

"If you can't go back, you will do your filial piety here. I will go back immediately and assist the lord."

The two of them knew Cao Cao quite well, and he would definitely wash Xuzhou with blood.

It happened so suddenly.

At this time, Zhang Ming was also discussing this matter.

In history, Yuan Shao did not attack Cao Cao. In history, Cao Cao is strong, and Xuzhou is far from an opponent.

But this time, Cao Cao lost tens of thousands of troops.

Could it be that Cao Cao pushed Xuzhou into a desperate situation like in history?
Zhang Ming discussed the matter with Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng while making tea.

"My lord, this matter is far away from us, so it is difficult to interfere directly." Xi Zhicai said.

Zhang Ming has a lot of interests in Xuzhou, which is the sale of salt.

Zhang Ming made tens of millions of profits a year, and this money was very important.

Now that there is a war, it must have a big impact.

Tian Feng considers it from another angle.

"My lord, Xuzhou will affect our short-term finances. According to your suggestion, we have already started hedging in advance, which will not affect the development of the territory."

Zhang Ming took a sip of tea and put it down.

He has been thinking.

"The matter of Cao Cao and Xuzhou, the short-term impact is not enough to worry about. I am thinking about how to lay it out."

Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, they both knew that Zhang Ming's way of thinking was different from theirs, maybe he really had some fantastic idea.

Zhang Ming said: "War will produce a large number of refugees, and we took the opportunity to collect these refugees."

"Immediately arrange more ships to prepare the docks for receiving and supplying."

Cao Cao didn't know if he would attack Xuzhou. Once Xuzhou was attacked, there would be a large number of refugees. Zhang Ming had to make preparations in advance.

"Yes, my lord, we will arrange it right away," Tian Feng said.

Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, we must strengthen our relationship with Xuzhou. We also ask your lord to allocate a sum of money to buy war horses and set up points along the road. Once there is any news, the horses will be sent to Youzhou within a few days." Come."

"Okay, you can ask for as much money as you need, I will agree to it, and send a letter to the government along the road to let them know."

I sent a letter to Yanlu, and it's fine if they don't provide help. No one dares to cause trouble for Zhang Ming and the others, otherwise Zhang Ming will retaliate.

Zhang Ming said: "We should establish a newspaper sales network in each state, and use Kuaima to contact us. While selling newspapers quickly, we can also provide channels for intelligence personnel in various places."

Zhang Ming plans to sell newspapers to various places. Through this channel, news can be transmitted in both directions.

It takes a long time to establish a stronghold, set up a stronghold about 100 miles away, and pass it down level by level.

Zhang Ming asked Xi Zhicai to start making arrangements immediately, and Tangling restaurants in various places can provide some help.

Once the matter is decided, just wait for the development of the matter.

Xun Yu hurried back, while Cao Ang stayed on.

A few days after the incident, Cao Cao decided to send troops.

However, it was not so easy to send troops. Cao Cao suffered a lot of losses, and he could gather tens of thousands of troops at this time.

These tens of thousands of troops were shrunk back from other directions.

In addition, Cao Cao also re-recruited some troops.

He dared to send troops because there were no strong enemies around him for the time being.

At this time, Yuan Shu couldn't take care of it, and Yuan Shao couldn't send troops in a short time.

Cao Cao's revenge is true, and it is true that he wants to annex Xuzhou.

However, Cao Cao did not send troops so quickly.

A few days later, Zhang Ming received accurate news that Cao Cao had decided to take revenge.

After receiving the news, Zhang Ming went to the newspaper printing factory by himself.

"Are you the editor-in-chief here?"

"Yes, my lord, my name is Wang Chao, thank you for your appreciation."

Where did Zhang Ming admire him before, and only now did he know his name.

Zhang Ming seldom cared about specific matters. This time he came to the editorial department in person, which flattered a group of editors here.

"Well, I will personally review all newspapers about the battle between Cao Cao and Xuzhou in the future, and I will also write some comments under the pseudonym Dongling Lihuo."

"This is the first article. I will add it immediately and print more."

The editor-in-chief accepted Zhang Ming's comment.

The gist of this comment is that Cao Cao wants revenge, which is of course a matter of course.

But what to do with the people, I hope Cao Cao will not harm the people by then.

In addition, I, Zhang Ming, have been displeased with Tao Qian for a long time. He really is a filthy generation. Cao Cao will kill Tao Qian's generation to avenge his hatred.

The central theme of Zhang Ming is that officials in Xuzhou are not good people, but the people are innocent.

Zhang Ming is undoubtedly fishing in troubled waters, muddying the water.

He needs to establish an impression among the people before he can recruit refugees.

"Put the news about Cao Cao and Xuzhou on the front page."
