Zhang Ming was inside the tent and began to study the map.

"Well, at least take down Yanmen, Changshan, Zhaoguo and other counties."

After studying the map, Zhang Ming decided to take more territory.

The army in the rear continued to come to support, and Youzhou became the rear, gradually empty, and there was no need for so many troops.

On Cao Cao's side, the support from the rear could not reach, and he did not have so much grain and grass to supply.

After studying, Zhang Ming said to the soldiers: "Let Yun Chang, Yide and the others prepare, I will go to meet Cao Cao." ”

Ahead, Guan Yu quickly arranged it.

Zhang Ming led an army to join Guan Yu.

"Go and call Cao Apu."

Zhang Ming arrived at the front line of the confrontation and said very unceremoniously.

The soldiers of Cao Jun did not dare to be careless, and immediately went to report.

So, Cao Cao took Lu Bu, Xu Chu Dianwei, and several Xiahou and Cao Jiang to arrive.

"Zhang Ming, soon we will meet again."

"I think back then, when we were begging for yellow scarves, we still drank and talked together, and you have become a bad old man, fortunately I am still young."

Zhang Ming looks a little more mature than in previous years, and it has nothing to do with being old.

It may be the reason for frequent upgrades to strengthen the body.

Cao Cao was hit critically, and it was really heart-wrenching.

"Zhang Ming, come to me, but what's the matter?"

"That's right, Yecheng needs to be divided, last night's battle, we each lost more than 10,000 people, and a group of Xiaoxiao was still peeking on the sidelines."

"I propose that we send 20,000 troops together to expel the Yuan army, and then fight for this Yecheng."

Yecheng, both sides will not give up easily.

"Good proposal, don't know how to do it?"

Cao Cao naturally agreed, with the Yuan Group here, he was also very dangerous.

"Send 20,000 troops each, enough to expel the Yuan group and drive them out of Jizhou."

Cao Cao immediately agreed.

"Zilong, you personally led 20,000 light horsemen to chase and kill Yuan Jun."

"Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, you two also led 20,000 troops to attack."

The three will go their separate ways.

Then Zhang Ming said to Cao Cao: "Jizhou, I am bound to win, and as soon as Yuan Jun retreats, I will not be polite to you." ”

"The same, no matter how big the price is, this Yecheng cannot afford to lose."

Cao Cao also put down a sentence, and the two sides separated.

Zhang Ming and the others went back separately.

Zhao Yun and Cao Ren attacked together and killed Yuan Jun.

Yuan Jun received the information and fled, but Zhao Yun and the others still pursued the past.

"Guo Tu, are they united?" On the way to escape, Yuan Xi asked.

This Guo Tu is with Yuan Tan, although the main idea is from him, but other strategists also work together to plan together.

"This Zhang Ming and Cao Cao are not stupid, after dawn that day, they will restrain themselves, but I don't know how they played that night."

The judge said a fair word, and no one quarreled internally.

The third son of the Yuan family argued again on the road.

Whether to stick to other places in Jizhou, or to retreat directly to Bingzhou.

After some argument, Feng Ji said: "Withdraw from Jizhou directly, let Jizhou become a place for both sides to fight, if there are too many casualties, we still have a chance to kill back." “

"Most of our army are new recruits, and they can't withstand their impact for a few rounds, so when they arrive in Bingzhou, they train well."

Although these strategists love to fight for power and profit, they still have the ability.

Therefore, a few people made a wise choice and retreated directly to Bingzhou, so that Zhang Ming and Cao Cao would not pursue them.

After Zhao Yun and Cao Ren left, Zhang Ming and Cao Cao were making urgent arrangements.

Cao Cao collected the resources in the city, but he did not disturb the people.

The city was divided into two, and all the people were isolated, because the streets of the city were full of troops, and the people did not dare to come out.

Zhang Ming didn't bother these people now.

Now, Zhang Ming has many issues to deal with.

The first is the life of the people in the city, and the second is how to deal with these families.

"Send the letter back immediately, let Zhen Yi write the letter immediately, who can use it, which families need to be eliminated, and at the same time activate all the intelligence systems in Yecheng."

"Let Xi Zhicai rush over immediately, and let Chen Gong and Guo Jia mobilize grain and grass and soldiers to come over."

Yecheng has become a place of concern in the world.

The whole world has gathered its eyes here.

There is a way that those who get Jizhou win the world.

Although this is an exaggeration, it can get the entire northern region.

And the most important thing in Jizhou is Yecheng.

Yecheng must be superior.

Both sides are mobilizing resources.

Cao Cao also had a headache over there.

He doesn't have enough resources now, how can he feed these people?

It's not a problem to keep them at home all the time.

Cao Cao began to deal with troublesome things all day long.

Neither side made a move, and this is not a good time for a decisive battle.

And Zhang Ming, on his side, quickly dispatched troops to attack other places.

For a county, Zhang Ming only plans to put 5,000 defenders and let them defend the county.

In the past few days, Cao Cao has been dealing with the family problem.

Many families already had to rely on Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had been receiving them and discussing various matters.

It took Cao Cao several days to figure out the situation of the family in the city.

After figuring it out, Cao Cao suddenly found that something was wrong.

Cao Cao summoned all the strategists.

"Zhang Ming actually took the opportunity to occupy the rest of Jizhou, which is very unfavorable to us."

Xu You said: "This requires a very strong mobilization ability, and the logistics and troop mobilization must be very fast. ”

Xun You also said eagerly: "Lord, if we continue like this, we will definitely be at a disadvantage." ”

Both sides want Yecheng.

This Yecheng is very important.

However, Cao Cao's strength is not strong now, and he is unable to mobilize a large number of resources.

"Lord, now we must mobilize a large amount of grain and grass, hoard it in Wei County, support us at any time, and then compete with Zhang Ming for this Ye City."

Cheng Yu also agreed with everyone's opinion and gave Cao Cao advice.

Cao Cao calculated carefully.

"Hey, it's difficult, a lot of resources are gathered here, and the burden on us is huge, both sides are masters, and we may have to fight here for a year and a half, so our burden is too heavy."

Many places were newly occupied by Cao Cao, and they had not yet been fully developed, and after fighting for so many years, resources were quite limited at this time.

"Lord, there is no other way, if Zhang Ming is allowed to completely occupy Jizhou, within three years, we will not be opponents." Man Pang also said.

Cao Cao made up his mind and said: "Okay, then I will repair the book and go back, let Xun Yu immediately raise more grain and grass, and let Ang'er also come to the front line." ”

Cao Cao made up his mind that the two sides would fight hard here.

In this way, the two sides began to confront each other.

A few days later, Zhao Yun and the others returned, and the three brothers of the Yuan family had completely left Jizhou and went to the remote Bingzhou.

Zhang Ming quickly occupied several counties and sent a group of new officials.

In this imperial examination, Zhang Ming recruited more than 1,000 talents, most of whom served in Youzhou and Qingzhou, and transferred some of the original officials to Jizhou, who had been officials for many years and were more experienced.
