Chapter 309: Sending troops to Xuzhou
Everything is arranged, and then it's just a matter of waiting for the results.
Zhang Ming was finally able to relax for a while.
So, he soaked in the palace all day long, fooling around with his five wives, and accompanying his children.
Time passed slowly.
A month later, news came that the flotilla had successfully reached Fuso and established a stronghold.
This is a good thing, Zhang Ming waved his hand and requisitioned 10,000 laborers to pass.
He asked people to organize 10,000 Koreans, and these people Zhang Ming gave them the surname Han and the identity of Han people, so that they could mine well.
The matter of immigrating to Fusang was quite smooth, and Zhang Ming asked people to transport displaced people there all the time.
At this time, although no silver mines had been discovered, they had already gained a firm foothold and opened two ports.
At this time, Fusang was still a tribe and was not united.
These people are easy to deal with, and Zhang Ming requisitioned another 10,000 troops over.
An army of 10,000 is completely sufficient to deal with these tribes.
Zhang Ming gave the order, and if he was not satisfied, he would kill him.
At the same time, Zhang Ming began to look for ore on a large scale, and he didn't know the specific location of the silver mine, so he could only send troops to cover the search.
In another few months, Cao Cao digested the results of the battle and returned Zhang Ming's money.
Cao Cao was able to repay the money so quickly, because he bought a large amount of salt from Zhang Ming.
Use the money from the sale of salt to pay off debts.
And Zhang Ming naturally made a lot of money in the process of being here.
Therefore, now Zhang Ming is rich again.
If you have money, you naturally have to do something.
It just so happened that Cao Cao, who had recovered, was going to attack Xuzhou again.
It's just that now, Xuzhou has changed owners, and Xuzhou at this time is already Liu Bei's house.
Cao Cao also saved some money by selling salt.
In order to expand his territory, he once again set his sights on Xuzhou.
Xuzhou is too rich, this Cao Cao has been staring at.
If the war starts again, Zhang Ming naturally can't do nothing.
This time, Zhang Ming planned to intervene, but he didn't think of any good way yet.
Cao Cao had just sent troops, and Zhang Ming received good news.
Tian Feng came happily and found Zhang Ming.
"My lord, Fusana has received good news."
"Great joy, great joy."
Tian Feng said to Zhang Ming excitedly: "We finally found it, there is indeed a big silver mine in that place, and it is very shallow and easy to mine." ”
"Very good, immediately recruit a group of Koreans to come over again, this time with the family, and live there in the future."
"In addition, first send some civil officials over and set up a few counties, and the future displaced people will be transported to that place first."
Fusang, at this time it was still the tribal era, but they had no chance to develop on their own, Zhang Ming intervened, and that place would be their own in the future.
Now, Zhang Ming's waist is stiff.
There is money, and there are people.
Cao Cao expanded, and Zhang Ming was not willing to wait.
However, he was surrounded by Yuan Shao, and it was really not so easy to get out of Youzhou at this time.
Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, well prepared and the offensive was swift.
"Zhicai, you immediately send an envoy to Jizhou to see Yuan Shao, in order to curb Cao Cao's development, we are willing to send 10,000 troops to enter Xuzhou and make trouble for Cao Cao."
"We want to use Qingzhou to let Yuan Shao provide weapons and equipment and military salaries."
To contain Cao Cao, Yuan Shao must also have this thought.
It's just that now Yuan Shao is sitting on three large states, and he is developing rapidly, and his strength is rising rapidly, so he is reluctant to use troops now.
He didn't move himself, and paid for Zhang Ming to work, which was always possible.
Zhang Ming felt that this Yuan Shao would definitely do it, so he sent Xi Zhicai over, and how many benefits he could get.
After Xi Zhicai set off, Zhang Ming went to ask someone to call Cao Ang.
This was the first time Zhang Ming had met Cao Ang.
Finally, Zhang Ming met Cao Ang in the new state governor's mansion.
"Eldest son, are you still used to it in this Youzhou?"
"Thank you General Protector for your concern."
Zhang Ming was not polite, and only poured a cup of tea for Cao Ang.
Zhang Ming said: "Your father, if you don't practice benevolence, you will attack Xuzhou again, and we are very angry, and now we are severely condemning Cao Cao, and I plan to expel you from Youzhou, please leave Youzhou by yourself within three days." ”
Cao Ang was stunned, when he saw Zhang Ming, he was expelled.
"General Protector, what do you mean by this, that you want to go to war with my father?"
Zhang Ming didn't care what Cao Ang said, he Cao Cao was far from being able to threaten himself.
"Business can be done in the same way, but the two sides can no longer have friendly exchanges, so please ask Cao Ang Gongzi to go back."
Cao Ang knew that this was a public opinion attack started by Zhang Ming, and it was useless to say more, so he could only leave.
After Cao Ang left, Zhang Ming ordered Guan Yu and Xu Rong to guard Youzhou, while Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Xu Huang were ready to fight in Xuzhou at any time.
Ten days later, the exact news came from the drama journal.
Sure enough, Yuan Shao was easily persuaded and promised to give Zhang Ming money and food, so that he could borrow Qingzhou and send troops to help Xuzhou fight against Cao Cao.
Zhang Ming, who received the news, immediately sent troops.
At this time, Cao Ang had returned to Cao Cao and explained everything to him.
"This is how the princes compete for hegemony, Zhang Ming must be a more formidable opponent than Yuan Shao in the future."
If there is a way, Cao Cao will definitely weaken Zhang Ming's strength.
In the last battle of Xuzhou, Zhang Ming took away more than 400,000 people, and at that time Cao Cao knew that what Zhang Ming did before was all an illusion, and he deceived Yuan Shao and showed him.
Zhang Ming showed no ambition, he just wanted to have fun, and let Yuan Shao treat him as a secondary enemy.
And Zhang Ming pretended to give in to Yuan Shao, but secretly developed his strength rapidly.
Although Zhang Ming was coming, Cao Cao had no intention of changing and continuing to storm Xuzhou.
Advancing step by step, Cao Cao swept in again.
Liu Bei of Xuzhou was in charge and sent troops to resist.
On the occasion of the battle between the two sides, Zhang Ming led 10,000 cavalry all the way south and entered the territory of Xuzhou.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei both paid attention to Zhang Ming's arrival.
However, the two sides didn't know what Zhang Ming wanted to do for the time being, so they didn't react, but they both made adjustments to deal with Zhang Ming's disruption at any time.
Zhang Ming's 10,000 troops went south, and he did not approach the battlefield in a hurry.
Two hundred miles away from the battlefield, Zhang Ming stopped.
"Big brother, why are we here not to fight."
Zhang Fei was very helpless, and Zhang Ming didn't do it again.
"Wait."
Zhang Ming didn't explain, and this Zhang Fei was helpless, so he could only wait.
It is said that Liu Bei defended Xuzhou and had tens of thousands of troops, but against Cao Cao, he was defeated and retreated.
Cao Cao attacked all the way, and this time he did not capture the people back, but kept attacking.
A few days after Zhang Ming arrived, he had already approached Xiapi City.
Liu Bei saw that he couldn't defend it, so he withdrew all the troops in other places and prepared to defend Xiapi City.
Defending Xiapi City, Liu Bei still has a chance to continue to control Xuzhou.
A few days later, Cao Cao again besieged the city of Xiapi.
"It's time for us to appear, this Picheng, now is not the time for Cao Cao to get it."
Zhang Ming's army rushed over and stopped thirty miles away from Xiapi City.
