Zhang Ming was still planning when to go back.

As a result, the scout came to report urgently.

"What, Dong Zhuo is also dead."

"But Lu Bu killed him?"

"Lord, according to the news, it should be killed by Lu Bu, and the detailed news will be sent soon."

Hearing the news, although he had been prepared, he still made Zhang Ming silent for a long time.

Dong Zhuo is dead.

It's about a month short of the time in history.

Without Diao Chan, I don't know if it was designed by Wang Yun.

In the end, it was Lu Bu who killed him, and only Lu Bu could kill Dong Zhuo, and the other Xiliang troops would not kill Dong Zhuo at all.

As soon as Dong Zhuo died, this was a big deal.

Zhang Ming ordered: "Dong Zhuo is dead, I will go back immediately, tell the Queen Mother, and tell the world that I will also worship the ancestors of the Han Dynasty." ”

Zhang Ming found an excuse to withdraw his troops.

In fact, without the news of Dong Zhuo's death, Zhang Ming can withdraw his troops at any time.

Zhang Ming immediately wrote back and asked people to print newspapers day and night, the headline of the newspaper was that Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, and listed Dong Zhuo's various crimes in Chang'an.

Then came the news of Liu Yu's killing.

Liu Yu's prestige in Youzhou was very high, and Zhang Ming wrote about Liu Yu's various exploits, followed by a crusade against Gongsun Zhan.

Zhang Ming's public declaration in the newspaper was endlessly with Gongsun Zhan.

Under the banner of avenging Liu Yu.

This banner is very useful, and the dead Liu Yu also has this use.

Zhang Ming quickly withdrew his troops, and he withdrew very quickly.

Two days later, the newspaper was reprinted, this time with 10 pages, four pages were written about the death of Dong Zhuo and Liu Yu, and the rest were the normal sections before.

This time, the newspaper was delivered directly to various places and began to sell quickly.

Sold directly on the street, a crowd shouted.

"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers, Liu Zhoumu was killed, and Dong Zhuo is dead."

"Outside the nickname, Liu Zhoumu was killed."

"Shocked, Dong Zhuo was killed by his own son."

In this issue of the newspaper, Zhang Ming not only has to sell it in Youzhou and Qingzhou, but also sends it to other places quickly, and is ready to sell it in other places as well.

This time, Zhang Ming printed more than 100,000 copies.

Take the opportunity to expand your influence and take the moral high ground.

Zhang Ming returned to Jixian County and ordered: "Immediately issue a letter to crusade against Gongsun Zan and avenge Liu Zhoumu." ”

In fact, Wentian Feng has already helped to prepare, as long as Zhang Ming prints it out and sends it to various places.

Liu Yu's killing was shocking enough, and this Gongsun Zhan even cut off his head.

"Report, lord, someone sent a letter, claiming to be Liu Yu and Yan Rou."

"Bring it in."

Zhang Ming opened the letter.

"General Protector, in Yan Rou, and there are Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, and other people under the original Liu Gong, I heard that the general wants to raise an army to fight against Gongsun Zhan, and lead the remnants of the army to attach to the general, and I hope that the general will not give up, we are willing..."

The content of the letter is very simple, these people have gathered a group of Liu Yu's old subordinates to surrender to Zhang Ming, and avenge Liu Yu together.

"Write back to Yan Rou, I will personally go out of the city to meet him, and talk in detail after meeting."

What Zhang Ming wanted to say couldn't leave words, so he had to talk to him in person.

The next day, Yan Rou wrote back and agreed to meet.

Zhang Ming went out of the city with hundreds of guards.

Five miles outside the city, Zhang Ming saw Yan Rou who came over, Zhang Ming asked everyone to step back, and the two talked alone.

"General Yan Rou."

"Protector General."

"I've read the letter, I want to crusade against Gongsun Zhan, this is true, crusade for Liu Yu is just a name, most of it is for my own interests."

Zhang Ming said it very bluntly, which surprised Yan Rou a little.

"Understand, the Protector General is no different from the rest of the princes."

"That's right, I have a big man in my mouth, but there is no big man in my heart, and the big man is unpopular,"

Admit it bluntly.

Zhang Ming will say this, but it is something that everyone understands.

It's better to say it, they put themselves into Liu Yu's affairs, but if Zhang Ming wants to turn against the Han in the future, what will they do?

Are you waiting for these people to rebel against Zhang Ming in the future? It would be better not to have them now.

Yan Rou was silent for a long time, and then said, "The Protector General is more open than many people. ”

Zhang Ming looked at each other, and Yan Rou was silent for a long time.

"Protector General, then can you really attack Gongsun Chan and destroy him."

"Yes, definitely, and soon."

"But Gongsun Chan is powerful, he can only come little by little, and he will definitely not be able to cross him in a short time, what I can promise is that Gongsun Chan is my great enemy, and I will definitely defeat him, and I can also promise that others can surrender, and Dugong Sun Chan will die."

There is no need to hide it at this time, if Zhang Ming promises too much, there will be no way to arrive at once at that time, Yan Rou will rebel with people again, or if he does not cooperate when he fights, it will not be even worse at that time.

"So, well, we are willing to serve the Protector General."

Zhang Ming laughed, and then said: "I can promise that within five years, or even about three years, Gongsun Chan will die." ”

Yan Rou believed in Zhang Ming, and Zhang Ming did have the initiative to fight Gongsun Zhan.

The two have no enmity, revenge for Liu Yu is nonsense, Yan Rou and them, as senior officials under Liu Yu, naturally know that Zhang Ming and Liu Yu have a general relationship, and they have no friendship, so it is really impossible to say that they want to avenge him.

But Zhang Ming and Gongsun Chan are both princes and natural enemies, it is normal for Zhang Ming to attack Gongsun Chan, and it will definitely happen, if Zhang Ming doesn't beat him, then Gongsun Chan will also come to fight Zhang Ming.

"Protector General, we have more than 5,000 people, and please ask Protector General to take it in." Yan Rou dismounted and bowed.

"Okay, you go back first, tomorrow I will open the door and lead someone to greet you in person."

To accept them, it is necessary to accept them with ceremonies.

Zhang Ming and Yan Rou went back separately.

The next day, Zhang Ming personally led 3,000 people, and Zhang Zhao greeted Yan Rou and the others at the city gate.

Yan Rou, Xian Yu Fu, Xian Yu Yin, and other people, plus more than 5,000 soldiers.

Zhang Ming ceremoniously accepted them.

Back at the state pastor's mansion, Zhang Ming held another banquet.

"Since you have already served me, I will naturally not treat you badly."

"You must abide by the agreement and destroy Gongsun Zhan."

"Let's take a look at your duties."

"Yan Rou is the Taishou of Zhuo County."

"Thank you, Lord."

Zhuojun Taishou Mansion is also in this Ji County, which is the most important county in Youzhou, and this chapter was given to Yan Rou.

"Xian Yufu is the Taishou of Liaoxi."

"Xian Yu Yin is the Taishou of Xuansu County."

Zhang Ming appointed three taishou in a row, and there were only a few taishou under Zhang Ming.

However, Zhang Ming is not unprepared, first of all, the Taishou under him does not have military and political power, at least not the power of the army.

In addition, several counties are not next to each other, and there are other counties in between, so it is difficult to rebel.

Everyone was moved, and Zhang Ming arranged for several other officials, and those who were capable were all given high positions.

These people are also talents, and they were originally high-ranking officials in a state.

Of course, Zhang Ming asked them to study for three months first, and Zhang Ming's administrative system was very different from before.

After the arrangement, everyone saw Zhang Ming's sincerity.
