Zhang Ming walked for a month before arriving in Liaodong.

After arriving in Liaodong, Zhang Ming wants to stay here for a while.

Liaodong is no longer a remote place.

Here, there is a large port.

There are many ships coming and going from the Mahan Peninsula and Fuso.

The people here are very wealthy.

Because there have been too many years of peace.

In the past few years, the people have been frugal and have accumulated a lot of money in their hands.

Liaodong is the best place for Zhang Ming to implement various policies.

The people here are truly supportive of him.

Of course, those who were under Zhang Ming's jurisdiction earlier supported him.

Now, the people of the entire Youzhou and some of Qingzhou support him.

In Liaodong, Zhang Ming is very relaxed, and he sees that the people here are doing well, and they are also satisfied.

The whole of Liaodong is very peaceful, and of course it is also very busy.

The ships that came and went drove the development of the entire Liaodong.

Zhang Ming stayed here for more than ten days and inspected many places in detail.

Then he had to go back.

Because there are no security measures, this Zhen Mi actually has it.

"No, I didn't take any medicine this time."

"Can they get pregnant without drugs now?"

"Won't you have to wear a condom in the future?"

Zhang Ming was very helpless, she hadn't done anything before, because if she didn't take a certain medicine, then she couldn't have children.

Now, it's okay to be drug-free.

Whether this is the case or not, Zhang Ming wants to go back and test it.

Just go find other wives and test them out.

During this investigation, Zhang Ming figured out a lot of things.

On the way back, Zhang Ming kept receiving documents from the cabinet.

"Okay, a total of more than 67 million yuan has been raised, which is enough for me to squander."

The cabinet has counted the results, which makes Zhang Ming very satisfied.

With the money, now the army is almost well trained.

Zhang Ming planned to send troops in a month.

However, he still has to deal with government affairs first and distribute the money.

Zhang Ming generously approved 8 million to Chen Gong to popularize basic education in Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Jizhou.

Youzhou has done very well, no problem, but the other three states still can't.

The local people have no money and no awareness to let their children go to school.

Now the policy is to let the children eat lunch at school.

In order to save a meal, people are willing to send their children to school.

This requires Zhang Ming's large investment, so there is no way to popularize it all at once, so he can only focus on establishing some schools and recruiting some students first.

Cultivate slowly, take your time.

Then, in addition to distributing 30 million military expenses to Xi Zhicai, Zhang Ming distributed the rest.

Money has to be spent to have an effect.

After dealing with government affairs for a few days, Zhang Ming had a good time messing with his wife.

As a result, the experiment was successful, and Mi Lan was pregnant.

He's back to normal now.

In the future, you will have to wear a condom when you don't want to give birth to a monkey.

Fortunately, he didn't lack it.

After a few days of leisure, Zhang Ming decided to go to Jizhou first and inspect the army first.

See if the army is prepared enough and can send troops.

Before leaving, Zhang Ming went to see Dian Wei.

"Lao Dian, you can surrender me."

Dian Wei ignored him, and he was now under house arrest by Zhang Ming, but he never surrendered.

"I have already announced your surrender in the newspaper, and this Cao Cao has not sent anyone to contact me until now to exchange you back, so it can be seen that he doesn't want you anymore."

Zhang Ming did publish the newspaper and showed the newspaper to Dian Wei.

The content of the newspaper was simple, and it was published on the front page, and Dian Wei led the surrender of his troops.

But there is no date.

No specific date was written, and Dian Wei didn't see anything wrong.

However, Cao Cao, thinking that Dian Wei had been captured on the battlefield and surrendered after being imprisoned for a while.

This surrender is not the same as surrender on the battlefield, and later surrender is tantamount to loyalty to Zhang Ming and betrayal of Cao Cao.

The newspaper didn't think about the news in detail, just a few words.

The most important thing is that Cao Cao was slapped in the face.

After going back, he solemnly summoned his ministers and asked Liu Xie, the son of heaven, to lead the crowd to worship Dian Wei and make him a marquis.

As a result, Dian Wei did not die, and surrendered to Zhang Ming.

This made Cao Cao unable to get off the stage suddenly.

There is no way, in order to save face, he can only send his family to prison and strip him of some official titles.

This slap in the face swelled half of Cao Cao's face.

However, Cao Cao did a good job and did not kill Dian Wei's family.

Dian Wei ignored Zhang Ming and resolutely refused to surrender.

Zhang Ming didn't continue to persuade, it was useless to continue to persuade, people like Dian Wei could only grind slowly.

After leaving, Zhang Ming set off.

Travel to Jizhou.

At this time, many sections of the road have been repaired, and a spacious road has made Zhang Ming's speed of transporting troops much faster.

Zhang Ming deliberately divided two roads, about two lanes in the middle, which the people were not allowed to pass, and specially gave the army and the fast horses of the post station to pass.

It's like a highway, where a team of horses carrying newspapers can run fast without worrying about hitting people.

Of course, Zhang Ming can't be paired with traffic police, but the horse team of the post station, if they see other pedestrians on these roads, has the right to whip them with horses.

At the same time, all counties should also mobilize people in villages and towns to widely publicize and tell them that the middle two routes of the line cannot be taken.

The journey was very smooth, and within a few months, Xi Zhicai also arranged the transfer of part of the army.

He did not mobilize the troops of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, but the troops of Youzhou and Jizhou.

Tens of thousands of people defended Jizhou, and then 100,000 troops were dispatched to prepare to attack and annex the state.

At this time, the state army did not know.

Zhang Ming used Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei this time, and he asked Yan Rou to guard Jizhou.

Tens of thousands of troops in Jizhou are all new recruits who have just been recruited for about five months.

However, after five months of training, they are already very combative, plus they are led by veterans.

Probably, one in five is a veteran, and all the rest are recruits.

They will also train every day when they are stationed.

Zhang Ming sorted out the army and led the crowd away.

This time, 30,000 cavalry were specially dispatched.

Zhang Ming raised not many cavalry, it was too expensive.

So far there are only 50,000 cavalry.

There were 50,000 cavalry very early, but after they died in battle, they were only replenished, and no more troops were recruited.

The army set off, and Zhang Ming led the army to Bingzhou.

Just two days after leaving, Cao Cao's spies found out first and urgently ran back to inform Cao Cao.

But according to the speed of the spies, when he goes back, Zhang Ming can already attack the state.

Zhang Ming attacked in two directions.

All the way, starting from Xinxing County, directly attacked Yanmen County and Yunzhong County, which were 60,000 troops on the surface.

And Zhang Ming personally led an army of 40,000, plus Zhao Yun, and they set out from Leping County in the south, aiming at Shangdang County.

One south and one north.

This was done because the Yuan brothers stationed their armies separately.

Their purpose was to reduce contradictions, and at the same time, many places also needed military control.

Now, the Yuan clan is in decline, many people disobey them, and there are local rebellions from time to time, so they need to separate the army.

However, this also gave Zhang Ming a chance.
