Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 450 Liu Bei's plan, Zhang Ming's plan to rebuild Yecheng

Cao Cao is dead.

When he died, things exploded.

Zhang Ming didn't check it at that time.

Now he is the only one in the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Zhang Ming took out what he got from killing Cao Cao.

"A map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."

Zhang Ming killed Cao Cao and revealed a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, followed by 1000 million points.

This picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains was created by Zhao Fu in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is magnificent.

"This is Cao Cao's gift to me to become emperor."

The map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is indeed suitable for Zhang Ming.

"Brother, how do you deal with this little emperor?"

Zhang Ming saw Guan Yu coming back after dealing with the battlefield, and Liu Xie was carried behind him.

Liu Xie's frame was overturned and his leg was broken, so he was being carried.

"Find a place to settle him in the city first, and let someone take good care of him."

Liu Xie fell into his hands, and Zhang Ming didn't know how to deal with it.

Although he didn't wait to see the emperor, he couldn't kill him directly.

Liu Xie is very helpless, he has been a puppet all his life.

Only when he was a child, Liu Hong had a better life when he was alive.

A day passed and the army was still cleaning the battlefield outside the city.

At the same time, soldiers began to fill in two trenches.

In addition, the tunnels dug by Zhang Ming and the others had to be filled in slowly.

Shouchun City will slowly restore its original appearance.

After Li Dian and Le Jin went out, he knew that Yangzhou was unbearable, and he also knew that Cao Cao had no way to come back alive.

Along the way, they took away the military area in the city, and then went all the way south, preparing to cross the river to find Cao Ang.

Zhang Ming didn't send anyone to pursue him, there's no need to pursue him.

As for those cities, they couldn't escape anyway.

The enemy has no chance to destroy it.

Zhang Ming asked Guan Yu to lead [-] troops on the second day, and took over the city first to maintain order.

This battle is over.

However, many issues need to be dealt with.

Zhang Ming took Yangzhou, Yuzhou, and most of Sili.

Now, about [-]% of the population of the whole world is occupied by Zhang Ming.

At this time, most of the areas south of the Yangtze River had no limited population development.

Zhang Ming was in Shouchun City, planning for the next step.

In the territory of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, we are now cleaning up the remnants of the enemy.

It's just that there are still some aristocratic families and landlords who are still unwilling to give up a lot of land.

However, they cannot be left alone now.

Zhang Ming has no shortage of talents now, so he will do it directly, and he will use the fastest time to clean up these people.

A few days later, Zhang Ming was planning the future development in Shouchun City.

Suddenly the soldiers sent battle reports.

"Xiahoudun and Zhang Xiu escaped unexpectedly."

"Liu Bei and Sun Ce sent troops to sneak attack on our army and let them escape."

Liu Bei controlled Jingzhou, and originally wanted to have time to develop well.

It turned out that Zhang Ming quickly defeated Cao Cao, and then swept two states and one Sili.

Nanyang is an important gateway of Jingzhou.

Originally, Liu Bei and Sun Ce planned to seize Nanyang, but Xi Zhicai discovered it.

After Xi Zhicai found out, he fought hard with them, and both of them suffered a lot.

Liu Bei and Sun Ce knew they couldn't fight together, so they covered Xiahou Dun and Zhang Xiu's retreat, left Nanyang, and entered Jingzhou.

At this time, Xi Zhicai led more than 5 troops to garrison Nanyang.

Only those who have the ambition to stabilize Nanyang, I believe that Liu Bei's side does not have much chance.

Zhang Ming has controlled most of them, and now he is ready to deal with Xiliang.

In that place, only the Ma family is still active.

But relying on them can't stop Zhang Ming's army.

Zhang Ming only planned to drop [-] troops, and the rest of the troops began to prepare to attack Liu Bei and Sun Ce.

Zhang Ming will continue to further optimize the configuration of the army.

The army of Jizhou directly entered Sili.

The armies of Xuzhou and Yuzhou also entered Yangzhou and Yuzhou respectively.

In this way, the army moved further south.

"Do you want to solve it immediately?"

Now Zhang Ming can choose, the army will invade the south immediately, as long as he is given a year to prepare, mobilize the army's food and grass, and prepare the boats.

"Yangtze River, it's still hard to deal with."

Zhang Ming mobilized a navy and went to the mouth of the Yangtze River to train there.

At the same time, [-] troops were dispatched to learn water skills there.

When Zhang Ming started to prepare, he realized that it was not easy for an army to cross the river.

Most of his troops don't understand water.

The ships are ready, a fleet can be dispatched directly from the north, and there are also experienced crews.

However, soldiers are still not suitable.

Zhang Ming plans to lay off part of the cavalry, and then set up many strongholds along the Yangtze River.

Zhang Ming plans to arrange more than a dozen points along the entire north bank of the Yangtze River.

Directly build water villages and port terminals.

In this way, the enemy's troops are insufficient and there is no way to defend.

They can only give up most places and focus on defending some places.

Along the Yangtze River, there are more than thousands of miles.

Everywhere may be a place for Zhang Ming to cross the river.

However, after crossing the river, it is not possible to attack them immediately.

However, Zhang Ming can establish a stronghold there after crossing the river, and then slowly erode.

"Okay, let's let the army adapt for a while, wait a few months and see."

Zhang Ming, who was on the offensive, suddenly wanted to slow down.

It's not that he doesn't want to unify the country as soon as possible.

But not too hasty.

When the army arrived in the south, many people were not used to it.

Zhang Ming wants the troops to station separately in the south, train separately, and get familiar with the climate in the south as soon as possible.

At the same time, Zhang Ming also distributed the map.

These maps were created by Zhang Ming fighting monsters.

Then, Zhang Ming sent Special Bi to go deep into various places in the south to investigate.

Speaking of Cao Ang, it was also in chaos at this time.

He did not expect that his army would suffer such a heavy blow.

Cao Cao died, and Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan also fell.

Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Sili were also lost.

This dealt a huge blow to Cao Ang.

Cheng Yu said to Cao Ang: "My lord, for the current plan, the only way to stop Zhang Ming is to develop in a silent way and cooperate with Jingzhou, Changsha and other parties."

Cao Ang didn't say anything. It is very difficult to rule the river now.

The population and army under Cao Ang's current control are insufficient. Although there are large tracts of land, most of them are wasteland.

"I want to pay homage to my father."

Cao Ang already knew everything that happened that day.

"My lord, now is not the time."

"Hey."

Cao Ang sighed deeply, and then said, "Sir, I would like to invite you to Jingzhou or Changsha County."

"The eldest son wants to discuss with Liu Bei and Sun Ce?"

"Jiangdong is no longer defendable. Zhang Ming crossed the river very easily, and he can still come from the sea."

"We may be attacked everywhere, why not let him open up a large area around Dongting Lake for us to farm there."

After hearing this, Cheng Yu said, "Okay, I'll go discuss it with them."

Cheng Yu left.

However, the pressure from the crowd was enormous.

At this time, Cao Ang controlled more than 6 troops.

In addition, he also wants to establish bases around Poyang Lake.

However, Zhang Ming's threat was on his side, and he had to make two bases.

Sun Ce and Liu Bei are also under double pressure.

Especially Jingzhou.

Although Jingzhou is rich now, and Liu Bei controls many soldiers and horses, Jingzhou can be attacked directly.

Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and Pang Tong sat together again.

"We must find a way to delay Zhang Ming's attack, otherwise I will not have a stable foothold in Jingzhou"

Liu Bei's face was full of worry.

He didn't say any more, but glanced at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce said: "Our army and your army will definitely be able to block Zhang Ming for a period of time. Duke Xuande can recruit some people to move south to the other side of the Yangtze River, and then the attack of Zhang Ming's army will be greatly delayed."

"The huge Jingzhou is not easy to say. If you want to relocate the population, I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve a large scale within two years." Liu Bei said.

Now, they face great difficulties.

Sun Ce said: "There is no other way. At this time, Zhang Ming has mobilized the army. The next step should be to attack Jingzhou."

"Now the city cannot be defended, Zhang Ming has the ability to blow up the city wall, so we can deploy soldiers and horses on the mountain roads and waterways in Jingzhou."

"No, so we can't stop them for long."

Liu Bei is very unconfident now.

He said: "We should take Shuchuan, and then transfer most of the population there, and wait for the situation to change within the territory of Shuchuan."

Liu Bei wants to take Shuchuan.

Sun Ce was a little reluctant.

Liu Bei ran to Shuchuan, what should he do?
Sun Ce had no way to transfer all his people there.

Changsha County is on the other side of the Yangtze River, the road is far away, and the people are unwilling to relocate. Could it be that the army will escort them there?
What's more, the army may not go all the time.

At this time Pang Tong said: "Marquis Wu, you don't have to worry. If we take down Shuchuan, we will give up Jingzhou. At that time, you and I will fight against Zhang Ming together."

In this way, Sun Ce is much more acceptable.

Then, Liu Bei said: "In order to delay Zhang Ming's attack, I ask Marquis Wu to make some sacrifices."

Liu Bei is willing to give up Jingzhou, which is much easier to say for Sun Ce.

So, Sun Ce said: "Mr. Xuande, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will help."

Liu Bei and Pang Tong looked at each other.

Liu Bei nodded and continued: "We pay tribute and pretend to submit. In addition, I heard that Lingmei is extremely beautiful. If we marry Zhang Ming, it will definitely delay for several months."

Sun Ce stood up abruptly, his eyes burning.

"You want me to send the girl to Zhang Ming."

Liu Bei was still sitting calmly.

"That's not the case, how could Zhang Ming believe that we sincerely surrender, and we will send some people to pretend to negotiate, so that it can be delayed for a while."

"Zhang Ming is lustful, let's send more beauties there, let Lingmei also enjoy the pillow breeze, and tell Zhang Ming that we really want to be courtiers."

Sun Ce's face was full of anger.

That was his beloved sister.

Liu Bei didn't care about Sun Ce's expression, he continued, "If we don't do this, we simply don't have enough time to take down Shuchuan."

"As long as we pretend to surrender and send people to negotiate, we will quickly occupy Shuchuan, and I will give up Jingzhou, and then we will be able to compete with Zhang Ming."

Sun Ce didn't know how to refute at this time.

It seems that this is indeed a very cost-effective deal.

"It's not a loss to marry Zhang Ming. If you win, you will win a piece of the country. If you lose, your sister will also marry Zhang Ming who is going to be the emperor."

When Liu Bei said this, it seemed that both left and right were at a disadvantage.

But he forgot that once he found out that Sun Ce was lying to him, maybe Zhang Ming would kill Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Ce calmed down slowly, and then sat down.

"You just have a younger sister, and I'll pick nine beauties from Jingzhou, and send them over when the time comes, and send a sum of money to show my submission."

"At that time, Zhang Ming will definitely lose himself. Buy us enough time to conquer Shuchuan."

Sun Ce didn't object, he acquiesced.

This time, he will use his younger sister to make a deal with Zhang Ming.

He didn't know what would happen, whether Zhang Ming would kill Sun Shangxiang when he found out that he had been deceived.

However, he seems to have no other choice.

Soon, the four separated and went to act separately.

Liu Bei will immediately select beautiful women and raise a sum of money.

Jingzhou has a very large population and a developed economy.

Originally, Liu Bei was very happy to have Jingzhou.

However, today's Jingzhou cannot stop Zhang Ming.

That is only to give up.

After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu left, Liu Bei asked, "Shi Yuan, are we really going to give up Jingzhou to Sun Ce?"

"My lord, Jingzhou cannot be defended. With Sun Ce, we can buy at least a few months, and then transfer part of the population and wealth."

"If we don't give it up to Sun Ce, then we will have no basis for cooperation, and Sun Ce will not help us block Zhang Ming, but will attack us, and Jingzhou will be lost at that time."

Liu Bei is still very reluctant, this Jingzhou is a good place.

But, really uncomfortable.

Although there are many places that can block Zhang Ming, there are also natural dangers along the Yangtze River in some places.

However, Zhang Mingbing has enough fine food, and dares to fight with you for consumption.

With so many states and several times the population and military strength of Zhang Ming, if he really wanted to kill him, it would not be enough.

Therefore, only Shu Chuan, only Shu Chuan can block Zhang Ming.

Liu Bei began to step up his preparations. He had prepared a full [-] troops.

On the one hand, they are also actively preparing to block Zhang Ming in many places.

At this time, Zhang Ming sent a message to the cabinet, asking the cabinet to raise a sum of money, and then let Jushou go to Jizhou.

And Zhang Ming also set off for Jizhou.

A few days later, Zhang Ming arrived in Jizhou.

"Meet the Marquis of Liao."

Ju Shou also arrived early and saluted Zhang Ming.

Ju Shou didn't call Zhang Ming the Lord. Like Guo Jia, he was half-forced to work for Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming didn't care either.

"Ju Shou, I want to rebuild the city of Ye. You will coordinate this matter and temporarily appoint you to be in charge of Jizhou government affairs."

Jushou had tears in his eyes.

This is his home, finally being rebuilt.

"On behalf of the people of Jizhou, I thank Marquis Liao."

Jushou bowed deeply.

It is important to rebuild.

There used to be a garrison here. When Zhang Ming and the others were stationed here, they arranged for some people to clean it up every day, and the land had been cleared to level ground.

This greatly facilitates the construction of the city.

"Ju Shou, you start preparations now. For matters related to money and people, ask the cabinet to coordinate."

"In addition, the quality must be guaranteed, and the planning must be strictly in accordance with the drawings."

"I have already prepared the drawings, and they will be delivered soon."

"Yes, Marquis Liao."

When Zhang Ming arrived here, he was not in a hurry to leave.

He is waiting for news from the cabinet, and now Zhang Ming wants to know the financial situation.

Now, he still has a lot of things to do, and now he has won most of the places, and the next thing is to focus on the war.

The next step is to invest in large-scale construction, and Yecheng is just the beginning.
