Cao Cao has no choice, he has to face what he should face.

Soon, he had sent tens of thousands of troops to the front line, and he was still supervising grain and grass and other matters in the rear, and he would soon go to Guandu for a generation.

Zhang Ming is also ready.

He called Xi Zhicai.

"Zhicai, ask Yuan Shao for Qingzhou Qingshan County, this county is connected with our Bohai County and Le'an County in Qingzhou, just enough to form a triangle and defend against foreign enemies alone."

"Find Yuan Shao now, and then immediately send someone to take over."

Zhang Ming estimated that Yuan Shao would not care too much about him at this time, and if he did, Zhang Ming would also worry about him.

It may not be enough to succeed, but it is still possible to make Yuan Shao unable to fight.

Xi Zhicai immediately went to arrange it, and sure enough, a few days later, Yuan Shao sent someone to reply to the letter, and within a month, they would withdraw and give the county to Zhang Ming.

"Hmph, a month."

Zhang Ming won't wait that long, and there may be variables at that time.

"Immediately order 10,000 troops, and start tomorrow, I will personally go and seize Qingshan County."

Zhang Ming doesn't care so much, let's get the territory first.

Act now.

The next day, Zhang Ming led the army and set off.

A few days later, they rushed to Qingshan County.

"Lord Governor, why did you personally lead the troops here, without the order of the general, it is easy for our two sides to cause a war." The Taishou of Qingshan County came out to see Zhang Ming and said.

This Taishou can be regarded as a bold and capable official.

"What's your name?"

"Under Fan Qing."

"Fan Qing, I don't embarrass you, give you two days, this Qingshan County's so-called general Yuan Shao has already given me two days, let you clean up and get out of the city immediately."

"No, I didn't receive an order from the general, even if I die in battle, I must defend the city to the death." Fan Qing said.

This Fan Qing is not afraid of Zhang Ming at all, and he fights with reason.

He is reasonable, and Zhang Ming is even more reasonable.

Zhang Ming said: "That's your business, if you don't hand over the city in two days, then I will come to pick it up in person." ”

Fan Qing was tough, while Zhang Ming didn't even plan to negotiate, he directly asked for the city, and if he didn't give it, he would fight.

"Lord State Shepherd, hurry back and forth for more than ten days, and please wait for more than ten days." Fan Qing was also afraid, this fight would really be troublesome.

"I don't have time, Benzhou Mu is a busy man, and he is busy going back to give birth, how can he wait here for so long, two days is two days."

"When the two days come, you don't have to leave."

Zhang Ming didn't give Fan Qing a chance to negotiate, dropped a word, and let Fan Qing leave.

Fan Qing has no way.

He anxiously went back and asked someone to discuss a solution.

However, if you can't negotiate, you can't think of a way, and you can only fight or not.

Fan Qing advocated defending the city to the death, and asked for help from the surrounding military land.

In fact, Zhang Ming's arrival was known to many Yuan Jun in Qingzhou and Jizhou.

However, his men did not want to defend it.

They all knew that Zhang Ming did negotiate with Yuan Shao about the transfer of the city, and now he must have eyebrows.

Once the fight starts, in the end, they will definitely die in vain, and they will all die in vain when they are killed by Zhang Ming.

At this time, Zhang Ming didn't reason with them, which was the most deadly.

Helplessly, after a day of fighting, Fan Qing couldn't control the mentality of his subordinates who were afraid of war.

In the end, Fan Qing gave in.

But he told the army to take all the important things with them.

Of course, there were still many things that he didn't have time to take away, and he sold them directly to some local family merchants.

The two handed over the city, and Zhang Ming met Fan Qing at the gate of the city.

"Fan Taishou, you are very wise."

Fan Qing bowed his hand and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the army was not under my control, unless the general gave an order, you wouldn't want to get the city." ”

There are also many factions in Yuan Shao.

The generals defending the city are not of the same mind as him, and they check and balance each other, so he can only give in.

Zhang Ming successfully captured the city, which is very important.

"It's too guarded to have Lao Fan."

Zhang Ming led troops into the city, and there were not many troops stationed in this city, so Zhang Ming didn't plan to invest too much in development.

To occupy the city, Zhang Ming ordered to recruit a group of people to repair the city in Beiping.

On the huge construction site over there, there are more people working at the same time.

A few days later, Yuan Shao was very angry when he received that Zhang Ming had directly sent troops to take down the city.

Anger is anger, but there is no way.

Yuan Shao called a few strategists and said: "I originally wanted to drag it first, once Zhang Ming sent troops, the territory would not be given to him, but I didn't expect this guy to directly send troops to force him to leave." ”

Everyone is helpless, most afraid of this kind of scoundrel.

Guo Tu said: "Lord, this is also the case, Zhang Ming's garrison is there, and the troops are scattered again, we only need to use a small number of troops to control it in several directions." ”

Several people knew that the city was in the hands of Zhang Ming, and there was no way to come back, at least after defeating Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao knew that he couldn't get it back for the time being, so he didn't say much.

"In that case, the other side is preparing to attack Cao Cao, and it will start next month."

Yuan Shao could only send someone to reprimand Zhang Ming, and there was no other way.

Zhang Ming left behind 5,000 troops and sent some civilian officials to take over the place, and then he went back.

After going back, he received the news that Yuan Shao was preparing to go on an expedition, and Zhang Ming also began to prepare.

"It's finally about to start, it's only the summer of 193 now, and it's still a few years before Yuan Cao decides the winner."

"This time, maybe there will be no results for both sides."

Zhang Ming doesn't care so much, since he wants to fight, he will fight well.

When the day of sending troops was approaching, Zhang Ming decided to personally lead the troops to set off.

There were a total of 15,000 people, and this time he led Guan Zhang Zhao, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Yan Rou and others to guard the house.

Xi Zhicai sacrificed wine for the military advisor, Tian Feng was in charge of all government affairs, and the two of them cooperated, there must be no problem.

Set off and join Yuan Shao's army in Jizhou.

Yuan Shao was rich and generous, and sent more than 100,000 troops, and another 100,000 troops were assembled in various places, which could be attacked at any time.

"Mu Zhangzhou, I didn't expect you to come in person, my lord sent me to join you."

Gao Ran followed Zhang Ming with 10,000 troops, and Zhang Ming understood that this was surveillance.

If you love to monitor, you can monitor.

"Then there's General Laugo."

The two actually set off first as strikers.

Along the way, the banner was displayed and the military might was displayed.

At the same time, Yuan Shao held a grand swearing-in meeting.

Yuan Shao claimed an army of 300,000 and killed Cao Cao.

Within Cao Cao's camp, some people began to worry, and everyone did not have any confidence.

Cao Cao had a meeting for several days, and his head had a headache several times.

I can't help it, I have to continue.

Finally, Cao Cao also personally led the army to rush over.

The two sides rallied to the Guandu generation.

"General Gao, I'm afraid Yuan Benchu won't be able to eat Cao Cao this time."

On the way, when the march was boring, Zhang Ming said to Gao Lan.

"Cao Cao, the strength is like that, there is no way to compare the two sides, and it is a matter of time before they perish." Gao Ran said proudly.
