Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 379 Qi Arrives in Ye City
The defenders in Hejian County quickly collapsed.

Zhang Ming and the others broke through the city in less than an hour, and the army rushed in.

After entering, a large number of soldiers began to surrender.

Following that, Zhang Ming also entered the city.

"Take control of all defenders."

"Come on, go and arrest the guard and the prefect."

Fifty thousand troops entered the city, and the rest stood guard outside the city.

In less than two hours, the situation in the city was clarified.

"My lord, the guard and the prefect have been arrested, and they are outside."

"La Quo beheaded them in front of the soldiers, and told them that they would have to work for free for two years, and then set them free after two years."

There are more than 2 troops surrendered this time. Zhang Ming will not kill them, but he is not going to release them either.

Next, Zhang Ming will definitely be short of labor.

Since they didn't surrender early and were beaten in by Zhang Ming, they had to bear the price.

The guard and the prefect, even Zhang Ming's face, were pulled out and chopped off.

The two were beheaded, shocking many people.

As for saying that they were going to be castrated, Zhang Ming didn't do that.

These people escaped with their lives. If Zhang Ming didn't kill them, then they should work hard.

In the Zhangming plan, a high-standard road needs to be built from New Beiping City to these county towns.

Zhang Ming even asked them to make cement and use cement to pave a road.

In the future, the mobilization of troops will be very rapid.

However, the current price of cement is still too high.

Zhang Ming has been making artificial cement, and the cement produced is used to build some facilities in the city, and some cement roads are also paved in the city.

However, large-scale construction is impossible without improving the process and reducing the cost.

However, if all free labor is used, the cost can still be reduced a lot.

Zhang Ming has this plan. In the future, every state will build a cement road, but now he will build a wide road.

Let's use these soldiers as waste, and build roads properly.

When Zhang Ming took Hejian County, Cao Cao also entered Jizhou.

He agrees overwhelmingly.

Zhang Ming didn't act immediately.

He was waiting for reinforcements from the rear to arrive.

Zhang Ming's strategy is to completely control a place by laying down a place.

Put the support team in these places, he will fight in front, and he can retreat in time if he wants to retreat, and he can be replenished in time if he needs to be replenished.

Two days after the capture of Hejian County, [-] city guards arrived, along with hundreds of civilian officials.

It is not enough for hundreds of people to control a county, and more grassroots personnel are needed.

Zhang Ming planned to send a large number of grassroots personnel to control all the villages after the imperial examination.

When the city defenders arrived, Zhang Ming called for Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, check immediately, where Cao Cao and the others have gone."

Three counties have already been won, and the earliest Bohai County is in his hands. At this time, Zhang Ming has already won four counties.

Zhao Yun will do it right away.

Three hours later, Zhao Yun came back.

"Brother, according to news, Anping County and Wei County, which are connected with Yanzhou, have been taken by Cao Cao, and they may be attacking Qinghe County at this time."

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Zhang Ming began to study the map.

"It's not easy, we may have a big conflict with Cao Cao."

Zhang Ming calculated that after Cao Cao took Qinghe County, the two armies would not be too far away from Yecheng.

Originally, Zhang Ming planned to clean up the Yuan army around Yecheng, and then surrounded Yecheng.

At this point it seems unrealistic.

Zhang Ming made an assessment and said: "Order, the whole army has been repaired for a long time and is ready to march into Yecheng."

Yecheng is very strong.

Yuan Shao's lair has been in operation for a long time at this time.

And Cao Cao has already taken Qinghe County in a hurry.

Cao Cao took three counties easily.

"The army is preparing to attack Yecheng directly."

After making a decision with Zhang Ming, Cao Cao also planned to attack Yecheng immediately.

After the two armies were repaired, they quickly rushed towards Yecheng.

Yecheng.

"The big thing is not good, the general is gone."

"The general is gone."

Yuan Shao died.

Not long after, Yecheng was completely silent.

At this time Yuan Shao died, the blow to Yuan Shao Group was unimaginable.

Inside Ye City, there was no life.

Even though Yuan Shao couldn't manage the council, he still breathed a sigh of relief and could unite people's hearts.

At this point, he died.

Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang both sent Yuan Shao the funeral immediately.

In a hurry, Yuan Shao was buried within a day.

The whole city also wears sackcloth and filial piety.

However, what follows is the battle for succession.

Yuan Tan, as the eldest son, will inherit everything.

Yuan Shang, when Yuan Shao was here, often said in private that he would pass the throne to Yuan Shang.

Yuan Xi, as the former governor of Qingzhou, also brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with him when he came back, and he did not submit to anyone.

The three brothers quarreled, each wanting to inherit everything from Yuan Shao.

Naturally, the three of them could not reach an agreement.

Suddenly, a big battle broke out.

The three parties fought each other with soldiers and horses.

After fighting for a while, each lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and then each occupied a place in the city to confront each other.

At this time, the news that Zhang Ming and Cao Cao had killed Yecheng reached Yecheng.

Suddenly, people panic.

Many people have seen the end of Yecheng.

The city of Ye was at stake. As soon as Yuan Shao died, the three sons began to fight for the family property.

I don't know if Yuan Shao's coffin can be covered.

Many people have lost confidence in the Yuan Group.

Some aristocratic families have already secretly started planning.

Many people escaped from the city and secretly defected to Cao Cao.

On the way, Cao Cao received several letters. They not only wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, but also served as internal support.

And Zhang Ming did not receive these surrender letters, because no family would choose to surrender Zhang Ming.

At this moment, the three sons of the Yuan family realized that they could lose everything in their fight.

So, the three joined forces again, ready to deal with Cao Cao and Zhang Ming.

If the family property cannot be kept, then there is no need to fight for everything.

The two armies quickly went to Yecheng.

Zhang Ming hurriedly marched all the way.

"For some counties in front, don't worry about him, just bypass him, and let the defenders in the rear be ready to support at any time."

There will be some county towns ahead of Zhang Ming and the others, but Zhang Ming doesn't intend to waste time and kill them directly.

They bypassed some county towns, but they didn't need to. The troops here have already withdrawn.

They were all withdrawn to Yecheng, and the three sons of the Yuan family were going to defend Yecheng to the death.

A few days later, Zhang Ming arrived at the outskirts of Yecheng.

Instead of rushing to attack, he started gathering intelligence.

In Yecheng, there are 10,000+ troops, and the combat power is unknown.

"Report, my lord, Cao Cao is only seventy miles away from here."

"Cao Mengde, you came in time."

Zhang Ming was helpless and ordered to camp outside the city.

It is impossible to fight, it is too dangerous to fight at this time.

People in the city are in panic, but it is not yet collapsed.

It seems that the two armies can only confront each other.

Zhang Ming ordered to rest.

And Cao Cao also knew about Zhang Ming's arrival, and he also arrived outside Yecheng a day later.
