Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 374 The Imperial Examination Begins, Sending Troops to Jizhou

Zhang Ming's arrangement has already indicated that it has changed from the previous low-key.

Zhang Ming is going to start to accelerate expansion, and now the goal is to grab the territory.

Zhang Ming's army is ready.

Tens of thousands of people on the border have been preparing for a long time.

This time, from the two directions of Qingzhou and Youzhou, Yuan Jun was under great pressure. At this time, Yuan Jun did not have any generals who could be in charge.

After Zhang Ming finished the arrangement, the next step was to wait.

At present, the imperial examination is still the top priority.

Several generals went to lead the troops separately, and Zhang Ming did his best to deal with the imperial examination.

The imperial examination was presided over by Chen Gong.

Now, Chen Gong has a lot of subordinate officials available, each assigning tasks well.

"Gongtai, how do you feel about this session?"

"Hahaha, it's like this every time. There are dragons and snakes. As long as you put talents in the right place, it will always play a big role."

Zhang Ming looked at Guo Jia again, and in order to let Guo Jia familiarize himself with the system Zhang Ming and the others operate, he specially asked him to be Chen Gong's assistant to participate.

"Feng Xiao, what do you think?"

"The talents in the world can be used by the general who protects the country, so why not worry about it."

It can be said that Guo Jia is in a complicated mood. Now his illness has gradually improved, and there is no major problem except for weakness.

"Feng Xiao, the princes of the world, there are still so few, who do you think can win the world."

Zhang Ming asked too directly.

He has made no secret of his ambition.

Guo Jia was a little uncomfortable.

"General Protector of the Nation is of course one of them. You and Prime Minister Cao are the only ones who are capable in the world."

Guo Jia didn't mention how many wins and losses.

Zhang Ming asked again: "How about Cao Cao's talents?"

"There are many high-level talents, middle-level and grass-roots talents. I am afraid that no one in the world can compare with the general who protects the country."

It is true that Cao Cao has many high-end talents, but to promote various affairs, he still has to rely on middle-level and grass-roots talents.

Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

Zhang Ming didn't care about these things either.

The two have different systems, and Zhang Ming feels that his own system will definitely be better than Cao Cao's.

A large number of talents who have studied mathematics, physics and chemistry quickly flooded to the grassroots to promote the development of various undertakings.

"Feng Xiao, take part in it, your body hasn't recovered, you just need to understand more."

Guo Jia silently nodded and agreed.

Zhang Ming patrolled around, showing his presence.

There are still many foreign students this time.

Many people who participated in the first imperial examination had achieved considerable fame, many of them emerged, and many of them entered the ranks of high-ranking officials.

Therefore, the imperial examination has been paid more and more attention.

And some people who don't have real talents know that they can't make it if they come here, so they just don't come.

Most of the people who came this time were talented people, and some people who didn't know that it was impossible to play tricks.

The content of the exam is not simple, nor does it follow the book, but really requires real skills.

There are still many princes who came this time.

Both Cao Cao and Sun Ce sent people here, but the difference is that Liu Biao also sent people this time.

In other words, Liu Bei, who took refuge in Liu Biao, borrowed Liu Biao's righteousness and sent Sun Qian to come.

Liu Bei took refuge in Liu Biao, not reconciled to being unknown like this, but was always looking for opportunities.

However, Liu Bei knew the disadvantages of having no talents under his command, so he sent people to rob talents this time.

Zhang Ming still has an open attitude. These students will stay if they want to stay, and they are free to go with whomever they want.

However, Zhang Ming knew that more and more people would choose to stay, and the students he trained himself rarely left.

The imperial examinations have begun.

Tens of thousands of people entered the examination room at the same time.

The exam has begun.

Everything went well, and Zhang Ming didn't pay attention to some minor problems, so he had his own staff to deal with them.

Zhang Ming serves as a symbol.

The exam was divided into three days, and Zhang Ming personally went to inspect the exam room for three days.

Everything went well. After the exam started, the library was closed, and then the exam papers were revised inside.

New Beiping City, around the imperial examination, has produced many new industries, and today's New Beiping City is very prosperous.

These prosperity have nothing to do with Zhang Ming for the time being, because after the end of the imperial examination, he quietly rushed to the front line with his personal guards.

Two days later.

There, he met Gao Lan, Xu Huang and Yan Rou.

"Meet the lord."

The three commanded an army of [-], and they were already on standby at this time.

The three met Zhang Ming, and Zhang Ming said: "Very well, [-] troops, this time our goal is to invade Jizhou from the north, occupy at least two of their counties, and at the same time close the three generals of Zhang and Zhao to the east and invade from Qingzhou. "

Gao Lan's mentality has also changed. He was determined not to fight against Yuan Shao before, but later he put his family under house arrest and imprisoned Ju Shou and others. He has lost the hearts of the people.

As for Zhang He, Zhang Ming did not force him to come. At this time, he was in Qingzhou to cooperate with Xu Rong in handling Qingzhou's military affairs.

In Qingzhou, Zhang Ming has already killed a group of people and expelled another group.

In addition, in Qingzhou, Zhang Ming spent some money to collect all the land from the landlord, and then slowly distributed it to the farmers.

Most of the landlords in Qingzhou cooperated, because the biggest landlord had already worn the same pair of pants as Zhang Ming.

They were the people that Zhang Ming bought with salt.

These people have long understood Zhang Ming's policy and are also afraid of Zhang Ming's force.

When Zhang Ming occupied Linzi back then, his fighting power was too strong.

These people also knew that their arms couldn't hold their thighs, and even Yuan Shao was put down by Zhang Mingqian.

Most of the aristocratic families did not flee to other places, because they could not take the land with them, and Zhang Ming could still take it directly.

If they don't run away, they can continue to do business, and the land Zhangming will buy it with money.

Therefore, most of these aristocratic families stayed to support Zhang Ming, a few escaped, and a few still wanted to resist. Naturally, they were directly and unceremoniously killed by Zhang Ming.

People are always more aware of current affairs.

The [-] army is ready.

Zhang Ming asked people to lay out the map.

"Guan Zhangzhao will attack Pingyuan County from Qingzhou, where he will contain part of Yuan's army and monitor Cao's army at the same time."

Zhang Ming pointed to the map again and said: "We are in this position, Fanyang County in Fanyang County, which can directly threaten the two counties of Zhongshan Country and Hejian County. These two counties must be taken. We can also attack Changshan and other places if we have the opportunity. .”

Everyone understands.

Then Zhang Ming said: "This Jizhou is the most important place for Yuan Shao. The centipedes are dead but not stiff. They will definitely fight back. We must use the most violent offensive to make them feel desperate."

What Zhang Ming is most afraid of is Cao Cao's intervention.

Cao Cao's strength is also very strong, with him joining, it may be even more difficult to deal with.

In many places in the north, Yuan Shao still sent heavy troops.

After Zhang Ming finished the arrangement, he started preparations at the appointed time.

At night, Zhang Ming and his [-] troops went directly to Zhongshan County.

The army came in mighty force and directly killed a county town.

"I am Zhang Ming, General Protector of the Country, open the city gate quickly."

Zhang Ming led the army and attacked directly under the county seat.He was not in a hurry to attack the city, but directly asked the soldiers inside to open the city gate.
