Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 383

In Yecheng, the two armies were fighting, and two hours later, they were still fighting.

In the dark night, each lit a torch, still fighting.

Zhang Ming laid out while playing, and arranged a large number of obstacles on some streets.

Also, monitor the surroundings to prevent someone from raiding and surrounding them.

After Cao Cao entered the city, he also made many arrangements.

But the first thing Cao Cao did when he entered the city was to start looking for food.

It really allowed him to find a few warehouses of grain, and temporarily relieved him of his urgent needs.

For the time being, Cao Cao no longer had to worry about food.

After fighting for more than two hours, the two sides gradually stopped fighting.

Now, the situation is very clear.

This is just a conspiracy of the Yuan Group.

If others would be fooled, how could Zhang Ming and Cao Cao be fooled.

If the two of them want to fight, it must be fought without the threat of a third party.

Zhang Ming slowly replaced the troops ahead.

And he controlled the north gate and the east gate.

Cao Cao also controlled the South Gate and West Gate.

Both sides are making arrangements to seize important places in the city.

A few hours passed, and the Yuan Group failed to hear the news that both sides were hurting from a distance.

Zhang Ming and Cao Cao slowly blocked the news, so that the Yuan Group could not receive news from the battlefield. At the same time, they respectively controlled half of Yecheng.

It was gradually getting brighter, and both parties were very nervous that night.

After daybreak, the two armies faced off in a dozen streets.

And Zhang Ming set up a headquarters in the rear, and the news was continuously collected.

"Confiscate the materials in the city first, and transport them to the rear barracks for storage."

No one knows what the outcome of this city will be. Zhang Ming has to make long-term plans.

Cao Cao is also collecting supplies nervously and occupying important places.

All valuables were taken away by people from the Yuan Group.

The grain and grass were not taken away, because too much could not be taken away.

They didn't even set fire to it. Once they set fire, Zhang Ming and Cao Cao would definitely give up Yecheng immediately and chase them down.

"My lord, this person claims to be our spy and wants to report to you personally."

Several soldiers escorted a person in.

"Which part do you belong to, and what do you need to report?"

"My lord, I am a latent officer in Yecheng, responsible for following up on Jushou. Now that Yuan Jun has escaped, Jushou is still in prison."

Zhang Ming let him go and asked him to show his identification.

Through a relatively complicated process, Zhang Ming confirmed the identity of the other party.

"Take me right away."

Zhang Ming took hundreds of people and went to the prison himself.

At this time, although no one was guarding the prison, all the prisoners were still held there, and Zhang Ming took over the prison.

Take Zhang Ming to the Jushou Pass.

I have to say that the situation is not particularly bad. After all, he used to be a high-ranking official, but now he is locked in a single room and has some care in his life.

"Master Jushou, I have long admired your name."

Ju Shou looked at Zhang Ming carefully.

"You are the army of Youzhou, right? Yuan Benchu ​​won't be able to defend after all."

"Yuan Shao has died of illness, not long ago." Zhang Ming said.

Ju Shou sat down, shook his head and sighed.

Yuan Shao was the object of his allegiance, but now he is dead.

"At the beginning, I didn't agree with him going to fight Cao Cao. Cao Cao wanted to fight, but the danger in Youzhou cannot be ignored. If he only sent half of his troops, he might be able to win."

Yuan Shao pushed the entire army up, trying to take Cao Cao down in one fell swoop, which is why he collapsed so quickly.

Sometimes too many troops can be very dangerous.

If half of the troops were dispatched, even if Cao Cao won the battle, he would still be very dangerous now.

"Master Jushou, you are a talent, I want to recruit you."

Ju Shou raised his head in surprise and said, "Are you Zhang Ming?"

"Since you know that we are the Youzhou army, why is it so strange that I am Zhang Ming?"

At first Jushou thought Zhang Ming was just an ordinary teenager.

"It's just that I didn't expect you to come to the prison to see me, an old man."

"You are a talent, and you shouldn't be buried forever. Yuan Shao doesn't deserve your allegiance, and his three sons don't deserve it."

Jushou was very frustrated.

He was very sad when he heard that the Yuan Group had collapsed.

"I'm old, I don't want to continue to toss, I just want to spend my old age in darkness."

Zhang Ming asked people to open the cell, went in and sat opposite Ju Shou.

"I'm afraid it won't work. I used a lot of connections to save your life. You can't just rest like this."

Zhang Ming did everything possible to save Jushou's life, in order to let him work for him, how could he let him quit like this.

Ju Shou was silent, Zhang Ming's meaning had been expressed very clearly.

If he doesn't come out to work, Zhang Ming is not one of those who want to be famous.

Many aristocratic families want fame, and it doesn't matter if you don't pledge allegiance.

However, Zhang Ming is different, he doesn't need the fame of the family.

"Why do you push me so hard? If I don't work hard, what's the use of it?"

"Talented and capable, there are only three situations for this kind of person in my place. The first is of course to do things for the people, the second is to feed them with good food and drink, and the third is to die."

Is this a threat?
It's a threat.

At the same time, it is also a compliment to Ju Shou, and I am afraid that Zhang Mingli will ignore it.

"Forget it, this old bone will last for a few more days."

The other two results were not what Jushou wanted.

Whether it is death or being imprisoned for a lifetime is not a good choice.

If Yuan Shao was still there, Jushou would not change his family, but now that Yuan Shao is dead, he doesn't need to be loyal to anyone.

Jushou agreed to help Zhang Ming, and Zhang Ming took him out of the cell.

"Currently, half of Yecheng is in the hands of Cao Cao, and about 8 people from each of our two sides are facing each other here."

Zhang Ming said briefly.

"My lord, this city of Ye can control three or four surrounding counties. If there is Yecheng, the surrounding counties will be easy to control. If you lose Yecheng, you will need three times as many troops to control the surrounding counties. "

Ju Shou's words made Zhang Ming feel a lot of pressure.

Yecheng is already a place that must be contested, and there is no reason to give up.

Zhang Ming nodded and said, "Okay, I will increase my troops immediately."

Yecheng, with several counties in contact with its surroundings, is indeed very important.

But Jushou shook his head and said: "My lord, the enemies in several counties have fled. You can send troops to occupy them first."

Zhang Ming didn't express his opinion right away, but wanted to go back and study it.

Take Jushou back and find some soldiers to take care of Jushou.

"Sir, I can't let you go free for the time being. If you want to notify your family or something, my people can do it for you. Feel free to ask them for any conditions."

Should be a villain or have to be a villain, Zhang Ming didn't let Jushou go back immediately.

Jushou sent someone to inform his family of his safety, and asked that his family be moved to Youzhou.

It is best for Jushou to propose it himself.

Zhang Ming went back and immediately began to study the map.

It is true that several counties have no troops for the time being.

In order to concentrate its forces, the Yuan Group also withdrew its troops.

Several places have become power vacuums.

"Immediately order the [-] city guards to take all these places."
