Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 370 Obtaining Qingzhou

When Zhang Ming went back, he didn't say hello to Cao Cao.

They were allies before, but once Yuan Shao is defeated, both sides are enemies.

Zhang Ming went back directly.

On Cao Cao's side, they were also busy withdrawing troops.

This time he received tens of thousands of soldiers.

After receiving the surrendered troops, Cao Cao was unable to pursue Yuan Shao because he had no food.

Originally, there was a shortage of food in the army, and it couldn't support much.

When Zhang Ming came, he also needed to provide him with food and grass.

Now that part of the troops have been withdrawn, Cao Cao can only go back.

He didn't take the opportunity to occupy anywhere.

Because Cao Cao does not have the ability to occupy other places now.

The double reverses go back separately like this.

However, on the way back, Cao Cao said: "In this battle, Zhang Ming is the biggest beneficiary. His army has not moved. After returning, he can directly go south to occupy Yuan Shao's territory, and we have to rest for a long time."

"That's right, my lord, Zhang Ming's army has enough food and grass, but we have run out of money and food for this battle we fought with all our strength."

"Cough cough cough." After Guo Jia finished speaking, he coughed loudly.

Cao Cao frowned, Guo Jia's condition became more and more serious.

Back then, Zhang Ming said that he could save Guo Jia.

In fact, this made Cao Cao very embarrassed, Zhang Ming would not save Guo Jia without conditions.

Cao Cao knew how powerful Guo Jia was. If Guo Jia were to return to Zhang Ming like this, he would become his great enemy in the future.

However, his subordinates all knew that Zhang Ming could save Guo Jia.

If Cao Cao doesn't let Zhang Ming heal, then his subordinates will be chilled again.

Cao Cao didn't have time to think about this question before, but now he has to think about it.

Cao Cao planned to solve this problem when he returned home.

In Youzhou.

Zhang Ming sent someone back quickly.

Xi Zhicai and others have also been waiting for news.

A few days later, they received a message from Zhang Ming.

The news was sent by the cavalry day and night, changing men and horses.

People and horses are easy to handle, and Zhang Ming directly used the newspaper delivery system, which has played a big role in the military this time.

Information was delivered from station to station.

Xi Zhi just received the information, so he began to order.

"Xu Rong, you lead your troops to resist Yuan Jun on the border of Jizhou. If they don't move, you won't move either."

"Yes."

"Gao Lan, Zhao Yun, and Yan Rou, the three of you can enter Qingzhou and control the entire Qingzhou with a hundred thousand troops."

The action begins, and finally begins.

The army went south.

An army of [-] marched south quickly.

Yuan Jun on the border was shocked when he received the news, and hurried to ask for instructions on what to do.

The guards are also stupid, a hundred thousand troops, they can't resist.

The most important thing is that they have no order. If the army from Youzhou enters Jizhou, they can send troops immediately.

But now that they are going to Qingzhou, they can't decide for a while.

And the three generals went directly to Qingzhou.

In Qingzhou, there were not many soldiers and horses at this time. Yuan Xi transferred most of the soldiers, horses, food and grass to Yuan Shao, and asked him to fight Cao Cao.

Zhao Yun and the others went all the way, and when they encountered cities, big or small, they all looked forward to the wind and surrendered.

But Zhao Yun and the others had already spread the news of Yuan Shao's defeat.

In this way, only a few places in Qingzhou encountered resistance, and the rest of the places surrendered directly.

And Yuan Xi, as the governor of Qingzhou, ran away with 2 people when he found out.

Yuan Xi is scared.

What is Zhang Ming? He has never been unreasonable, and his combat power is still tyrannical.

All his troops were transferred to the front line, and it was impossible to fight against Zhang Ming's army at this time.

With Yuan Xi escaping, Zhao Yun and the others had no difficulty and swept the entire Qingzhou directly.

On the way back, Zhang Ming received the news of controlling the whole Qingzhou.

"Great, there is one more Qingzhou, and the strength has greatly increased."

Qingzhou is not a very good state, but it is definitely not a bad state.

The army on the border of Jizhou has not been ordered.

In the end they chose to attack Youzhou.

The guard judged that the army in Youzhou was not there, and they didn't have many soldiers.

However, it was only after they attacked that they realized how strong Youzhou's army was.

Xu Rong led the army, inflicted great damage on them, and beat them back.

At this time, the news of the defeat in the Battle of Guandu also came, and suddenly, these Jizhou troops lost their fighting spirit.

Zhang Ming received the news that he was going to Qingzhou to help out and directly attacked these troops.

When Zhang Ming arrives, cooperate with Xu Rong to attack them.

Soon, more than 1 people in this army surrendered, more than 1 people were wiped out, and the rest ran back.

"My lord, in this battle, we have achieved all our strategic goals."

Xi Zhicai was delighted, since then, they have more land and more people.

Zhang Ming said: "Now that the overall situation has been decided, I will immediately order Tian Feng to enter Qingzhou and reform Qingzhou."

"In addition, let him bring tens of thousands of civil servants there. We have accumulated some officials over the years and have nowhere to place them. Now all of them have been resolved."

Not all those who passed the imperial examination were able to be placed as they wished.

Many people arrange deputy positions and keep them to train them.

In fact, many places do not need so many officials, so we can only arrange it in this way first, and now there is no such trouble.

What is worrying now is the shortage of talents.

Zhang Ming now has such a solid talent base, he does not intend to retain Qingzhou local officials.

Dare to refuse?Dare to make trouble for Zhang Ming.

Sorry, I was killed.

If you don't agree with you, you can either run away early, or you will seek death.

Zhang Ming also raised a group of police officers who would be stationed in every place to maintain law and order and fight various crimes.

The army returned in mighty force, this time with tens of thousands of prisoners.

These captives, Zhang Ming intends to use them this time, of course have to undergo retraining, and then disrupt the various armies.

At the same time, Zhang Ming did not intend to embarrass them and let them go if they were not qualified.

When Zhang Ming returned to Youzhou, people all over the world saw Zhang Ming clearly.

This Zhang Ming is not a sick cat, not a happy king who only wants to enjoy himself, but the overlord who wants to compete for the world.

In this battle, Zhang Ming and Cao Cao became the biggest princes.

Of course, there are also people who are not convinced. For example, Liu Biao in Jingzhou can not accept it. According to various indicators, Liu Biao is better than Zhang Ming.

Cao Cao is second, Jingzhou is second, Zhang Ming is third, and Liu Zhang of Shuchuan may be fourth.

Of course, Yuan Shao is still very strong now, with an army, territory, and economy.

But everyone thinks that Yuan Shao is no longer good.

Zhang Ming returned to the State Shepherd's Mansion. This time he called a few core personnel to readjust and deploy.

"Now, the general trend is mine, Tian Feng, you must clear Qingzhou within half a year."

Zhang Ming paused and said again: "Originally, Chen Gong should be entrusted with the task, but his time here is still too short, and he doesn't have a comprehensive understanding of our operating system."

Tian Feng has already made a lot of contributions, and Chen Gongxin is here, so it would be better for him to make contributions.

Zhang Ming made it clear.

"Now, our army is still trapped in Qingzhou. I estimate that half a year will not be enough for Cao Cao to recover, so we have to develop first, and then start to devour Jizhou."
