The entire Youzhou is talking about it like this, and the outside is even more useless to evaluate Zhang Ming.

And Zhang Ming not only said, but also did.

I'm going to build a lot of football stadiums, and I'm going to have more games.

Zhang Ming did more than that, he was also ready to choose a palace maid.

Of course, the palace maid is for the queen mother and the prince, but the outside world doesn't think so.

The outside world thinks that Zhang Ming wants to enjoy it.

But Zhang Ming didn't care what they thought, thinking that it would be as bad as possible.

Many people expressed their disappointment with Zhang Ming and made unfavorable remarks against Zhang Ming, but Zhang Ming still went his own way.

The construction began, and tens of thousands of people were already in place at the construction site, and a large area of land was leveled.

And Zhang Ming is also busy, he wants to preside over the design of the city.

Zhang Ming is not a professional, so he can only plan a little bigger, a little more symmetrical, and then plan some drainage and greening, etc.

Zhang Ming is diligent and diligent, busy and busy, and he doesn't take much care of his wives.

Externally, Zhang Ming is addicted to wine all day long.

Sure enough, two months later, Zhang Ming didn't do anything, and the outside world didn't have any news about him, and they all thought that he was addicted to alcohol all day long. Originally, Yuan Shao was very wary of him and often sent people to investigate.

But the news collected was that Zhang Ming did not practice martial arts, so Yuan Shao was a lot more relieved.

To build a big city, you need to invest all the income of Youzhou, and you won't achieve much in a few years.

Zhang Ming didn't recruit soldiers, nothing else, this Yuan Shao naturally didn't regard him as the main enemy in the short term.

Yuan Shao summoned his advisors.

"Now, I swallow Qingzhou, my strength has risen sharply, and then I will take the state first, and it is not difficult to merge the state, just send a general."

"Then it's going to attack in other directions, what do you recommend?"

At this time, Yuan Shao was already the strongest prince.

Frustrated, he came out and said: "Lord, we should go all out to take Youzhou, and then our army will not need to garrison it, and if we go south, no one will be able to stop it." ”

Of course, there is a point in what he said, and there are some people who think so.

But Guo Tu was the first to come out and object.

"Lord, Youzhou Zhangming, 100,000 troops, it is difficult for us to capture in a short time, if we fight for three years, our army will inevitably weaken, and other princes will inevitably rise."

What Guo Tu said is also very reasonable, Zhang Ming is not easy to fight, and he may not be able to beat it for three years.

So, Yuan Shao was entangled again, what should he do?

After some calculations, Yuan Shao felt that it was most cost-effective to attack Cao Cao, although Cao Cao now has a son of heaven, his strength is not strong.

Attacking Cao Cao, the most feared thing is that Zhang Ming is making trouble behind his back.

Therefore, how to deal with Zhang Ming, whether to ally with him, or send troops to resist, also began to quarrel.

Several strategists have their own reasons, and they do.

Yuan Shao is not decided, and there is no action for the time being.

But Cao Cao, with a keen sense of smell, didn't know what Zhang Ming was going to do, but he knew that Yuan Shao might attack him at any time.

Cao Cao was nervous, not only actively defending, but also having to find a way.

Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and others suggested that Cao Cao contact Zhang Ming.

However, at this time, Zhang Ming was obviously closed the door and prepared to ignore the outside affairs.

Cao Cao was worried day and night and couldn't sleep.

After a few days of thinking, Cao Cao decided to shoot a football team and go to Youzhou to discuss conditions with Zhang Ming.

And Yuan Shao's idea is similar, and he also sends a football team.

Both sides have to win over Zhang Ming.

A few days later, Zhang Ming received the news.

Zhang Ming called V Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai.

"This Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both have the intention of winning me over, and it won't be long before they will use troops, how do you think they should deal with it?"

Both of them thought about it.

Tian Feng said: "My lord, at least for half a year, there will be no big war. ”

Tian Feng is a good hand at internal affairs, and through intelligence, it can be judged that Yuan Shao is not ready.

Zhang Ming knows in his heart that he can indeed do a lot of things in half a year.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ming took a sip of tea and said: "Since there is still half a year to go, we will train the army, and then we will make a decision when the war is approaching." ”

Xi Zhicai also thought about it clearly, he said: "Lord, we must protect Cao Cao, but Cao Cao is not so easy to defeat, in the middle, we can be with Yuan Shao first, Yuan Shao's benefits, when Cao Cao wants to win us over, he will have to pay a great price." ”

What Xi Zhicai said made sense, and now they all thought that Zhang Ming was going to deal with Yuan Shao with Cao Cao, because his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.

But Xi Zhicai suggested that Zhang Ming do the opposite.

Zhang Ming pretended to be attached to Yuan Shao and received benefits from Yuan Shao.

Once you've decided, it's easy to do.

Soon after, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's envoys arrived.

Cao Cao's envoys were his eldest sons, Cao Ang and Guo Jia.

These are important figures.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhi are good friends, but Zhang Ming asked Xi Zhicai to receive them and did not show up.

On Yuan Shao's side, Xu You and Gao Ran, and Zhang Ming personally received them.

"You two, I didn't expect us to meet so soon, I hope your football team can achieve good results."

The two sides were polite and chatted for a long time.

Later, Xu Yu introduced the main topic.

"General Protector, I came here this time to discuss important matters, and I originally wanted to conquer Yanzhou, I don't know what General Protector thinks?"

In negotiations, we cannot hide something that cannot be concealed, otherwise we will not be able to continue talking.

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, this Cao Cao also understands, so he sent Cao Ang to come, after I, Yuan Shao, swallow Cao Cao, I will definitely come to attack me."

Zhang Ming's words surprised Xu You and Gao Ran, this was already the worst situation they imagined in the future.

The three of them were silent for a long time, and Xu You said: "Originally, I still hoped to be safe with the general who protected the country. ”

Zhang Ming nodded, he said: "I want to too, but reality doesn't allow it, if Cao Cao doesn't exist, the most dangerous must be me." ”

This negotiation is a bit difficult to negotiate, and although Xu You is smart, he doesn't know how to convince Zhang Ming.

But Gao Ran, as a military general, didn't think about it so much, he said directly: "My lord's strength, even if he fights with both of you, he is not afraid, and he can't lose." ”

Zhang Ming was not angry, he said lightly: "I was not afraid of Yuan Shao before, and naturally I won't be now." ”

Gao Ran continued: "Then what do you want? ”

Zhang Ming thought about it for a while and said: "In today's world, I'm afraid that there will be a hundred years of strife, like the Warring States. Although I want to be safe, but I can't be alone, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have asked me, then I will wait for the price and sell, what can Yuan Benchu give me? ”

What can be given?

Xu You and Gao Ran were very surprised, but they didn't expect Zhang Ming to be willing to talk about the conditions.

As long as you are willing to talk, there is a chance.

Xu You said: "What do you want, money or beauty?" ”

"I want to do all of this, but there is no shortage now, I have a lot of beauties, but there are not many that can make my heart move, so it's better to give the territory, one county is enough, I won't expand the army, be a soil emperor in peace, and enjoy it for a lifetime."

"But this Yuan Shao is a few years older than me, and he is not as good as my health, don't die early, otherwise I may have the opportunity to take everything from him."
