Xu You's proposal, on the whole, is not a big problem, and Zhang Ming is also interested.

But there is a saying for this territory.

Zhang Ming thought for a while and said, "Yes, it's okay overall, as for how to divide the territory, I have to talk about it." ”

Zhang Ming said: "In this way, you send 50,000 troops, I send 30,000 troops, on the territory, I want Bohai County in Jizhou and Qingshan County in Qingzhou, and the rest belongs to you." ”

"You also know that I don't agree with Xuzhou, and the territory in the south is not so easy to eat."

Xu You's eyes turned twice, Zhang Ming wanted these two counties, in fact, it was very simple, and the entire territory could be connected.

But Xu You was not worried at all, because if a large army was not stationed in this long and narrow territory, it would be easily cut off by the north and the south.

In other words, even if Zhang Ming gets these two counties, he may be defeated at any time.

And Xu You said with doubts on his face: "Lord Zhou Mu, do you think that our sincerity is not enough? Why do you have such a small appetite? ”

Zhang Ming only needs two counties? No lion gaps?

This made Xu Yu not calm down.

Zhang Ming said: "I know how big my appetite is, give me two more counties, I can't manage it, of course, I don't want more land, naturally I want other things to compensate." ”

"Please?"

"Choose one of the two, one is to give me a month after the fight, recruit displaced people in the whole territory of Qingzhou, I will not force it, only recruit displaced people, and the other is that before the war, Yuan Shao will compensate me for a military budget."

"Okay, I'll repair the book and send it to Jizhou, and I can go back and forth in a few days."

Zhang Ming asked for a lot of money, which reassured Xu You, he was afraid that Zhang Ming would ask for too little, so he turned around and cooperated with Gongsun Zhan to pit Yuan Shao.

Zhang Ming will not cooperate with Gongsun Zhan, this is a political principle, Gongsun Chan lost the hearts of the people in Youzhou, Zhang Ming is under the banner of avenging Liu Yu, the two sides can only fight, not cooperate.

Probably discussed an intention, and there was enough time, Zhang Ming left.

Before leaving, he said: "Next time I contact Xi Zhicai directly, the two of us should not have too much contact, so as not to make people suspicious, and in public, I will not give you face." ”

"Understand, understand, in public, you may also offend the state pastor."

"Well, then be careful yourself, I naturally won't trouble you, but if you want to die too much, I can't control it if you are beaten by my men."

After saying that, Zhang Ming left, it is better for the two of them not to be in contact, of course, this kind of thing must be kept secret.

After Zhang Ming left, he called Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng and others.

Of course, there is also Yan Rou in Jixian County.

"I want to unite with Yuan Shao and destroy Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop, this time Xu Yu will come to visit secretly from the football match, and we have already talked about a general intention."

Zhang Ming gave a brief introduction to the situation.

Then, Zhang Ming and the others quickly discussed a way to come out.

agreed to form an alliance with Yuan Shao, and then there was a secret preparation.

Troops cannot be mobilized so quickly, but more troops must be recruited and trained more intensively.

Zhang Ming ordered that all localities should be trained, and he should train more defenders.

Recruit an additional 20,000 defenders, then turn the existing garrisons into the main battle army.

Everything is going on in secret.

A few days later, Xu Yu received an order to agree to Zhang Ming's conditions.

However, the conditions have been modified.

Yuan Shao gave Zhang Ming 300,000 military expenses, and Zhang Ming could recruit 50,000 homeless people after conquering Qingzhou.

The conditions were negotiated, and everything was calm.

Secret negotiations, not many people know about it.

At this time, more and more football teams came to Youzhou.

There are really a lot of princes who came this time.

Lu Bu, Tao Qian, Sun Ce, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Tao Qian all sent people.

Not only that, but some county guards also sent people.

In short, there are more than a dozen football teams outside, of course, they are all here to join in the fun, to celebrate the birthday of the little prince, and brushing the sense of presence is the key.

As for the football game, it is estimated that only Zhang Ming and Youzhou attach importance to it.

Youzhou is very lively, Zhang Ming still started a newspaper in a few days, the newspaper can already sell tens of thousands of copies in Youzhou, and some people can't understand it as a collection.

Another month has passed, the football match has started for a few days, and the whole Youzhou is very lively.

There is now a loyal crowd on the football field.

Under the excitement, it was Xu You and Xi Zhicai who had already completed the general strategy, just waiting for the time to start the war.

", can the national football team be more aggressive."

Zhang Ming has been almost ignoring any political affairs recently, and is on the field every day.

The national football team led by him has been defeated repeatedly, and of course it is easy to crush the team of the princes, because they don't even understand the rules.

But the national football team faced the old strong team in Youzhou, no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain, and he still kept losing.

Addicted to football games every day, from the perspective of outsiders, Zhang Ming is not doing his job, he is a person who is greedy for pleasure.

There are so many beautiful women in the house, plus having fun all day long.

The representatives of the princes, as well as some secret spies, all reported Zhang Ming's situation back.

Zhang Ming galloped on the field, the pomp was very large, and almost all his wives came to watch his game.

At the same time, there was a group of people who came to cheer him on.

In addition, every time there is a competition with Zhang Ming, Zhang Ming will make it very extravagant.

Naturally, these are all for the sake of building momentum and showing others.

At least until now, Gongsun Chan has not been much alert.

Gongsun Chan was still licking his wounds at home at this time.

Qingzhou, for him, is a relatively unfamiliar place, at least it is not as convenient as in Youzhou.

He's going to sort out all the places.

At this time, he could not fully control the entire Qingzhou, and could only control Qingzhou in name.

For example, Kong Rong of Donglai County was not appointed by him as a taishou.

At this time, although Gongsun Chan was the assassin of Qingzhou, he was appointed by himself, and it was not so easy to meddle in Donglai County, at least Kong Rong did not cooperate in many places.

The same is true of several counties in the south, which also respect Gongsun Chan as a thorn on the surface, and the others are not very cooperative.

What Gongsun Chan has to do now is to sort out one county after another, and slowly replace his own people.

And even if the county guard is replaced by his own people, it is not so easy to solve, and the counties below will also encounter such a problem.

Therefore, Gongsun Chan can only barely control Qingzhou now.

Youzhou is very lively, and it is prosperous under Zhang Ming's governance.

And many people think that Zhang Ming began to enjoy himself and indulged in playthings all day long.

This is not difficult to understand, because Zhang Ming has been on the field for more than a month, completely ignoring government affairs.

Several times someone saw that Tian Feng Xizhi personally came to Zhang Ming with an official document, and Zhang Ming was very impatient.

Of course, it is true that Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng came to him to deal with official documents, but Zhang Ming's impatience is fake, everything is fake.

Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng are also very busy, and when they cooperate with Zhang Ming to act, they also have to take the opportunity to deal with the official documents, they all come to Zhang Ming when they encounter something, and then act together.

More than ten days have passed...
