Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 305 War Reporter

Everyone in Xuzhou was in panic.

Cao Cao's soldiers suppressed the situation.

However, Cao Cao is also having a hard time here, and the pressure is huge.

Now, all the infamy is on Cao Cao, which is bad for him, because the army will have low morale and internal reasons for rebellion.

Cao Cao led his troops away, and Xun Yu at home tried his best to maintain it, but it was also very difficult.

Cao Cao has looted many cities and looted many aristocratic families in the name of avenging his father.

However, these were not enough, and Cao Cao could barely sustain himself.

Once the army moved, money and food were consumed.

In Xuzhou, many people have to change their appearance, because Tao Qian is really incompetent.

When both sides were in a dilemma, Zhang Ming was particularly busy.

"My lord, we have arrived at another group of refugees with more than 3000 people."

"My lord, more than 5000 people have been transported back."

"My lord, there are only more than two thousand people in this group."

"My lord, we brought back more than 500 people by land, and we spent a lot of money along the way."

"My lord, the food has been distributed to the villages, and now there is a big food shortage."

"My lord, building a house requires a lot of wood, so buy it quickly."

"My lord, farm tools are needed for land reclamation, and our current workshops can't do it."

All kinds of news kept piling up. During this time, Zhang Ming and the others recruited more than 5 refugees.

Settling these refugees is a big deal.

The whole Youzhou is very busy.

All kinds of materials needed to be mobilized, and Tian Feng was too busy, so Zhang Ming could only take charge of it himself.

Originally, Chen Yang could do it, but now Chen Yang is also busy with building the city.

Zhang Ming got busy every day, but it passed quickly.

Cao Cao's army attacked Xuzhou, and the people panicked.

Tens of thousands of people gathered at the pier at this time. These people were afraid of being killed by Cao Cao, so they gathered there.

Zhang Ming had no choice but to dispatch a batch of grain urgently.

Zhang Ming also has some connections in Xuzhou, and bought some food to keep these people from starving to death.

However, the transportation capacity is limited, and Zhang Ming cannot transport the people back in a short time.

Cao Cao's army finally reached outside Xiapi City.

Rumors abounded in other places. Some people said that after Cao Cao took Xuzhou, he would kill 10 people to pay homage to his father.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked.

There were also a large number of people who wanted to flee, and they rushed to the seaside with their families.

There is hope at the seaside.

After Tao Qian found out, he sat up in shock from his illness.

"A sin, a sin."

"The people in Xuzhou are miserable, how many people will die here."

Tao Qian cried loudly, migration in ancient times, usually do not know how many people will die.

In other words, even if Zhang Ming took good care of the refugees, hundreds of them have died by now.

Tao Qian burst into tears, and the people ran away from home. He, the state shepherd, was most responsible.

It can be said that Tao Qian's late festival will not be guaranteed. After this time, his reputation has been hit hard.

Tao Qian also knew that there was no way to continue the position of Xuzhou State Shepherd, at least he could not pass it on to his son.

If he passes it on to his son, he will definitely kill his own son. He is very sensible about this.

If Tao Qian's reputation is ruined, Xuzhou will definitely be divided. His sons are not capable enough. If they are allowed to be the state shepherds, they will be taken away soon, and even their lives will be lost at that time.

Zhang Ming doesn't care about these.

He is now paying attention to Xuzhou's movements.

"Zhicai, please arrange for those few who can paint before to send two people, under the guard of scouts, to go to Xuzhou to collect folk songs."

"Draw the situation in Xuzhou with pictures, and you will send horses to send it every day."

Zhang Ming suddenly made another decision, Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng who came to report didn't quite understand what Zhang Ming wanted to do.

Xi Zhicai said: "Master, what do you want to paint, just let our soldiers come back and describe it."

Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "No, some things need actual scenes, such as city gates, streets with some signs."

"Outsiders see no difference, because most people have never seen it, but people in Xuzhou are different. Many people have seen the real scene."

"This picture, if printed on a newspaper, will have a very different effect."

Only then did Xi Zhi understand.

Then, Zhang Ming's war correspondent appeared.

They wanted to go to the front line to paint, to paint the tragedy of the battlefield and the situation in Xuzhou after the war.

A few days later, the two painters followed the southward fleet to Xuzhou.

After arriving in Xuzhou, he started painting under the guard of soldiers.

A painter came to a city occupied by Cao Jun.

He saw that the streets were sparsely populated.

So, he started to draw the street scene.

After drawing more than a dozen pictures, he went to several battlefields, and the piles of mounds were all nameless tombs.

Broken city walls, burnt city gates, depressed streets, and mounds one after another.

When passing by the village, the fields outside the village were covered with weeds, the houses were dilapidated, and no one could be seen.

Ruins.

To be honest, the ruins were not necessarily caused by Cao Cao. Now that there have been many years of troubled times, there are many such places in every state.

The painter doesn't need to find out who caused it, he just needs to draw the scene with a sketch.

Of course, he can also paint in color, and Zhang Ming also provided some crayons and paints for painting.

It's just that the color painting is also black and white after printing.

The first batch needs to be sent back quickly, and it is best to use sketches.

Another painter went to the beach specially.

This is a place where refugees gather. There are a lot of people, and more and more people.

He just drew the scene.

This required many, many drawings.

On the first day, they collected a total of more than 70 paintings, and then sent them back quickly.

A few days later, Zhang Ming received these paintings immediately, and he called Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng.

"Look at these paintings, how beautiful they are."

Each painting has information such as time and location, and each painting needs a simple text description.

"My lord, these paintings are great. As long as they are published, Tao Qian and Cao Cao can't argue with each other." Xi Zhicai said excitedly.

Tian Feng looked at the painting and nodded.

"My lord, why don't we publish a football field scene."

As soon as Zhang Ming thought about it, I published a picture and said nothing about the rest.

Compared with Xuzhou's slump, this grand occasion is simply silent propaganda.

"Okay, and draw all my extravagant scenes, and give me a close-up."

"Since you want to fool strategically, continue to fool strategically."

Zhang Ming called another painter and asked him to draw the football field.

A day later, the newspaper went to print.

This time Zhang Ming chose six of them.

One is a dilapidated city gate, the other is a desolate street, and the other is a village with dilapidated walls and weeds, and the backs of two old people bleak in the wind.

There is also the unnamed tomb in the wild, and then I selected two pictures of refugees. The refugees gathered at the pier, waiting for the hope from Youzhou.
