Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 358 Cao Cao won Xuzhou, Zhang Ming withdrew
Cao Cao was startled, and immediately understood that it was Zhang Ming who did it.

"The person is not with me. It should be Zhang Ming who did it. I will send troops to ask for him immediately."

Cao Cao mobilized [-] soldiers and horses to kill Zhang Ming at the gate of the city.

In addition to Lu Bu's generals, Cao Cao also brought Xu Chu and Dian Wei.

The soldiers and horses came over.

Zhang Ming has already set up defenses at the inner gate of the city, and there are a large number of archers on the top of the city.

When Cao Cao and others came to kill him, Lu Bu came out and shouted, "Zhang Ming, quickly release my family."

"Zhang Ming, I'll take your dog's head."

Lu Bu yelled and cursed one after another, but Zhang Ming remained silent.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Lu Bu could only retreat.

Cao Cao stepped forward and shouted, "Zhang Ming is here."

Zhang Ming appeared and came directly to a place more than 30 meters away from them.

"Prime Minister Cao, you are no different from Dong Zhuo in the past when you are now an official worshiping prime minister."

This is mocking him, because he still has Lu Bu by his side, and Dong Zhuo always had Lu Bu by his side.

Cao Cao's expression remained unchanged. He had already decided to keep Lu Bu, so he would not be instigated by Zhang Ming.

"Zhang Ming, now that the war is over, should you leave?"

"What if I don't leave?"

Cao Cao is not worried about Zhang Ming making trouble now.

He looked around and said, "My army will let you go."

Cao Cao was not polite to Zhang Ming either, and threatened directly.

The soldiers of the two armies suddenly became tense, and there was an imposing manner of rattling swords.

Cao Cao backed away directly, and had nothing to talk to Zhang Ming about. Now that he is stronger, there is no need to talk so much with Zhang Ming.

As soon as Cao Cao retreated, Cao Jun killed him.

On Zhang Ming's side, a large number of arrows were fired, and Cao Jun was shot down.

After several shocks, Cao Jun retreated.

Zhang Ming's firepower is too strong, and the arrows are as if they don't need money.

"Cao Cao, my master can continue to accompany you."

Zhang Ming shouted shamelessly again, which made Cao Cao's teeth itch with hatred.

The two armies temporarily stopped the conflict, and Cao Cao called Cheng Yu and Guo Jia.

"There is a way to kill Zhang Ming."

Cao Cao looked at the army in the direction of the city gate, and regarded this army as a great threat.

Cheng Yu said: "It's difficult to destroy, Zhang Ming can escape at any time, if Zhang Ming decides to fight us, we will suffer heavy losses, and we won't be able to keep Zhang Ming."

Cheng Yu understood Cao Cao's thoughts very well. If Zhang Ming could be killed, he would accept the price.

Since Zhang Ming couldn't be kept, Cao Cao was unwilling to pay too much.

But Zhang Ming cannot be allowed to make trouble here.

Guo Jia said: "The subordinates know Zhang Ming quite well. He rarely fights with others when he has no interests. It can still be resolved through negotiation."

Negotiation, Cao Cao is unwilling to negotiate.

Negotiating with Zhang Ming is not a good thing.

"If you don't negotiate, Zhang Ming will push your nose and face."

Cao Cao refused to negotiate and let the army continue to confront him.

Today, Cao Cao occupies more places and has an advantage, to see who consumes more energy than whom.

Zhang Ming was waiting for Cao Cao to negotiate, but this guy left directly.

"Brother, Cao Cao doesn't fight or talk about it. I'm afraid he wants to waste us like this." Guan Yu said.

Zhang Ming nodded. If Cao Cao is really like this, he really can't help it.

"I let people continue to transfer the population on a small scale and bring the population back."

Zhang Ming ordered Zhao Yun to send a small group of soldiers and horses to pick up the people, and he could get back as many people as he could.

This time, when Zhang Ming couldn't take care of him in Cao Cao, he had already brought back more than 6 people.

After a day of confrontation, there was no progress. Only Lu Bu and others were more anxious. After all, Lu Bu's family members were all in Zhang Ming's hands.

Cao Cao was not in a hurry, he stepped up the arrangement, and Zhang Ming was not in a hurry, Cao Cao couldn't take care of other places now.

After another two days of confrontation, Zhang Ming took away thousands of people.

At this time Cao Cao was a little impatient.

It is not an option for Xuzhou to procrastinate, he also needs to go back to sit in Xudu.

Cao Cao has already controlled all places in the city and is in control of the overall situation.

So, kill again.

This time Cao Cao wants to solve the matter thoroughly.

"Zhang Ming, I will let you go now. If you don't leave, I will attack you in an all-round way. It is absolutely true."

This is Cao Cao's ultimatum.

Zhang Ming believes in Cao Cao's words, and he will definitely do what he says.

If you can't negotiate, then don't negotiate.

"Okay, then thank you, Prime Minister, I'll leave now and send Lu Bu's family with me."

Zhang Ming suddenly became so easy to talk to, which surprised Cao Cao.

Zhang Ming directly released Lu Bu's family members.

It's no use keeping them.

It is not Zhang Ming's style to threaten others with his family members, and Lu Bu is not immortal.

"There are also Chen Gong and Gao Shun."

After receiving the family members, Lu Bu yelled again.

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Ming and said, "Gongtai is my best friend. This Gao Shun is Lu Bu's favorite general. Do you want to hand them over?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Zhang Ming looked up to the sky and laughed and said: "Cao Cao, you have no virtue, which caused Chen Gong to betray you. If I hand him over, Chen Gong will have to die."

"Fortunately, Chen Gong was caught by me first, instead of falling into your hands."

Cao Cao was speechless. He would let Chen Gong go out of buying people's hearts. Although he would not kill him, this person could not be used anymore.

When Chen Gong arrived at his place, he could only sit idle.

"Then you put Gao Shun back." Lu Bu couldn't help calling again.

Cao Cao glared at him, and Lu Bu retreated obediently.

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Ming from a distance to see what Zhang Ming meant.

Zhang Ming said: "I also took Gao Shun away. He was with Cao Cao. He was either killed by Cao Cao or abandoned."

Cao Cao didn't care much about Gao Shun, he really couldn't stay.

All the generals under him were beaten up by Gao Shun, how to get along with him after accepting him.

Cao Cao didn't speak, but Zhang Ming said: "Prime Minister Cao, let's say goodbye, but we should meet again in the future."

Zhang Ming withdrew, taking Chen Gong and Gao Shun away.

On the way, Zhang Ming asked Gao Shun.

"What do you think, go back to Youzhou with me, or let you go back to find Lu Bu?"

"My friendship with Marquis Wen is exhausted. If he hadn't surrendered to Cao Cao, I would naturally be loyal to him. Now that he has surrendered, I naturally don't have to continue to follow him."

Zhang Ming felt relieved, at least Gao Shun could be kidnapped.

Zhang Ming left and stayed in other places for three days, and then left Xuzhou when the recruiting team returned.

The main purpose of coming to Xuzhou this time was to cause trouble for Cao Cao, but the result was not very satisfactory.

A traitor appeared inside Lu Bu and directly opened the city gate.

This made Zhang Ming helpless and could only go back.

But Yuan Shao couldn't sit still anymore.

Cao Cao won Xuzhou, and his strength must have greatly increased.

The population and wealth of Xuzhou are second to none.

I am afraid that only Jizhou and Jingzhou can compare.

So Yuan Shao was worried that now Cao Cao's strength had swelled to almost the same level as him.

On Yuan Shao's side, he has already begun to consider conquering Cao Cao.
