Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 390
Zhang Ming's road construction has attracted great attention.

But Zhang Ming is not just building roads.

The road construction has been publicized, and the publicity has made the whole big man know about it.

And there are many other low-key things about him.

Distributing farm tools to all families without farm tools is one thing, and recruiting [-] militiamen is another thing.

Of course, only Zhang Ming and the cabinet knew the [-] yuan, and the others directly ordered the counties to arrange how many militias the county should recruit.

In this way, no one knows how many soldiers Zhang Ming has recruited this time, except Zhang Ming and the others.

Even if the enemy has spies, they can't count them.

The enemy will ignore a small number of militias in a county.

Because they have no formal training and no weapons and equipment, they are worse than the city defenders.

So, no one will pay attention.

But these militiamen are actually very important, and the conditions for their selection are all based on the conditions of the regular army.

As long as there is a need, they can go to the battlefield after emergency training for a month.

Usually, the basic training has been completed.

In each county, Zhang Ming would send many retired soldiers to station there, and then train them.

Many of them just don't have weapons and equipment. In fact, many times the training is the same as that of the regular army.

In addition, Zhang Ming also invested in other things, and the territory he controlled developed very fast.

Two months later, Zhang Ming finished all the work.

In the past two months, Zhang Ming spent more than half of the money he saved, tens of millions of silver coins.

All the silver was dug from Fusang.

Now, Zhang Ming has brought several groups of refugees over.

Today's Fusang has a population of hundreds of thousands.

County towns were established in several places.

After spending money and losing money, the next step is to enjoy it.

Zhang Ming handed over all the government affairs to the quasi-cabinet, and then he ate, drank and had fun.

Outside, Zhang Ming acted like a swinger.

There are luxury cars in and out all day, and I heard that the food is very luxurious.

In a few days, it became a rumor that Zhang Ming soaked in the hot springs, lighting up all the flowers everywhere.

Sprinkled flower petals in the hot spring, and soaked there with his wife.

These legends are all true, Zhang Ming really is.

However, every day the quasi-cabinet will send a stack of briefings, and Zhang Ming will read the briefings no matter how late it is.

After reading the briefing, if he thought he needed to intervene, he sent it to the cabinet the next day for them to deal with.

After another month, Zhang Ming has basically firmly controlled the newly acquired sites.

At this time, Qingzhou has been settled.

Zhang Ming sent Guan Yu to Qingzhou to guard Qingzhou, and Xu Rong was also guarding Qingzhou with him.

Then, Zhang Ming recruited Tian Feng back.

After careful consideration, Zhang Ming did not intend to set up a state pastor or governor.

For the time being, the entire Qingzhou, above the county guards, will be directly under the administration of the Huguo General's Mansion.

Of course, there are many disadvantages, that is, unexpected events, or general events, the efficiency of official documents is very slow.

For example, it may take more than a month for the official document to be sent to the Palace of the General Protecting the Country, and then sent back with a reply after approval.

In this way, a lot of things are wasted. If there is a state shepherd, it will be sent directly to the state shepherd's mansion, and then disposed of, so that the efficiency will be improved a lot.

However, Zhang Ming has no one to be the state shepherd now.

The state shepherd has too much power, the local emperor of one side.

In the future, Zhang Ming will set up a state pastor or governor to manage the entire Qingzhou and Jizhou.

However, after the various departments sink down and the power is divided up, and after the various departments have taken root in the counties and have a foundation, they will send people to manage the entire state.

At that time, the power of the state pastor will be controlled and will not get out of control.

After dealing with everything, Zhang Ming started hoarding food and grass again, and then saved expenses and saved military expenses.

There must be a war, and it won't take long, and it will start soon.

Grain and grass are slowly being hoarded, and now there is a lot of self-produced food, and some can be bought elsewhere.

And the military pay is simpler, just go to mine.

When the money is dug out, there must be corresponding products that can be sold, otherwise the inflation will be serious.

Therefore, Zhang Ming developed many industries and actively built roads so that the people could earn money and buy things.

Money is meant to circulate.

After another two months, Zhang Ming had already saved a large sum of money.

Now, it's a lot of taxes every year, plus the money from doing my own business.

With money and food, there are still people Zhang Ming's strength is slowly recovering.

It is also time to strike again.

On the other side of Yecheng, after Zhang Ming adjusted, Xu Huang and Zhang Fei were there.

Chapter tweets to cabinet members.

"It's been half a year, we and Cao Cao have recovered, should we fight again?"

Now, the cabinet members already have Jushou, Chen Gong, Guo Jia, Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai.

Five people, already have great decision-making ability.

After Zhang Ming asked, Guo Jia felt a little uncomfortable. He could only keep silent about his external military operations.

Xi Zhicai spoke first, "My lord, our army is ready and we should go to war. Cao Cao must not be fully prepared at this time."

"But, my lord, where are we going to fight? Xuzhou or Yanzhou?"

Now, there are two places to fight, which are completely different from before.

This question is indeed very important.

Zhang Ming pondered for a long time.

"Fight both, fight on two fronts."

Everyone looked at each other.

Fighting on two fronts has always been a taboo for military strategists.

However, the situation is different now. Zhang Ming's side is fighting on two fronts, and the same is true for Cao Cao's side.

In fact, Qingzhou is closer to Yanzhou, and the two states are also next to each other.

To attack Qingzhou and Yanzhou, Cao Cao's troops will have to be redeployed.

Chen Gong thought about it carefully and said: "General Protector, if we want to fight on two fronts, we should take the first part of Xuzhou, so that we can attack Cao Cao from multiple directions in the future."

Xuzhou can even advance all the way to Xudu, which is indeed a big trouble for Cao Cao.

Chen Gong advocated taking part of Xuzhou.

The Zhang Ming caller got a map, put the map down, and everyone began to study it.

After some research, Zhang Ming decided to say: "Xuzhou and Jizhou are both attacking, regardless of the main attack or the feint, wherever there is an opportunity, they will attack."

False and real, attack wherever there is an opportunity.

It's a pity that the road has not been repaired yet.

Otherwise, where there is an opportunity, the army can quickly support it.

Therefore, the meeting decided to divide the troops into two groups.

There are 20 soldiers and horses along the way, and Zhang Ming plans to mobilize [-] soldiers and horses to kill them in two ways.

Zhang Ming went to Xuzhou in person, taking Xu Rong, Guan Yu, Zhang He and Gao Shun.

Zhang He and Gao Shun are playing for the first time.

On the other road, it was Xi Zhicai who led the other generals.

After making the decision, Zhang Ming began to operate.

"Openly transport grain and grass soldiers to two places."

"In addition, send troops to investigate, and it is completely open, so you don't have to worry about being discovered."

The so-called false and true, Zhang Ming just wanted to make Cao Cao nervous.

When Zhang Ming was studying how to fight Cao Cao, Cao Cao also gathered a group of advisers to study how to fight Zhang Ming.

Cao Cao has never been a passive person, and he also intends to attack Zhang Ming.

"My lord, Zhang Ming has deployed a lot of soldiers and horses around Ye City. He has just won Jizhou for half a year, and it is still not stable. If he is allowed to occupy it for a while, we may not be able to fight."

Man Pang suggested that Cao Cao act immediately.
