Chapter 353: Cao Cao attacks Lu Bu
Yuan Shu was called the emperor, and Yuan Shao was also roasted on the fire.
Zhang Ming's newspaper made Yuan Shao angry.
He called in a few of his staff.
"Zhang Ming is so angry, I'm going to send troops to kill him."
Yuan Shao was so angry that he slammed the newspaper on the table.
Everyone saw that Yuan Shao was really angry, but a few people knew that it was completely angry to say that they were going to send troops to destroy Zhang Ming.
It's not easy to kill Zhang Ming.
Now, Zhang Ming is confined to Youzhou and has not been out for many years.
After venting his anger, Yuan Shao said again: "How to solve this matter? β
How to fix it?
After some discussion, everyone came up with a statement condemning Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shao issued a statement, denounced Yuan Shu, and then called on everyone to attack Yuan Shu together.
As soon as the statement came out, it did save Yuan Shao's reputation a lot.
However, the damage to the reputation of the Yuan family is inevitable.
Yuan Shao scolded Yuan Shu to death in his heart.
However, Yuan Shu lived very comfortably, and after becoming emperor, Yuan Shu was like that.
However, under the rule of Yuan Shu, the people did not have a good life, and many people deviated from morality.
Many people of insight have begun to run away, and only some of his diehards remain.
Soon, Cao Cao sent troops to attack Yuan Shu, who was defeated and lost a large amount of land.
Cao Cao got a lot of land and population, and his strength seemed to be about to rise again.
Cao Cao's strength has been growing, which makes Yuan Shao very jealous.
Cao Cao had money and people, and the more fierce the offensive, as soon as he finished fighting Yuan Shu, he immediately went to attack Zhang Xiu again.
The last time he attacked Zhang Xiu, he was already about to surrender, but Cao Cao slept with his sister-in-law, resulting in a big defeat.
Now, the reorganization of the soldiers and horses has killed the past.
Cao Cao's offensive was very successful, and soon he reached Fancheng and surrounded Fancheng.
Yuan Shao was very anxious, called his staff, and after some discussion, released the news that he was going to attack Xudu.
When Cao Cao heard the news, he was shocked and hurriedly returned to the army, after which Zhang Xiu took the opportunity to pursue and attack Cao Cao.
This time, Cao Cao didn't get anything cheap, and the loss was not small.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Zhang Ming, he is trapped in Youzhou and can't get out.
However, Zhang Ming is not without development, and his population is still slowly increasing.
Over the past two years, he has also recruited more than 100,000 displaced people, but most of them have been sent to Fuso.
At this time, Zhang Ming was also strong.
In September, Zhang Ming was hiding in Diao Chan's arms eating the fruit she fed, and the soldiers came to report that there was something important.
Zhang Ming sat up reluctantly.
"If you go for your husband, you will come."
Zhang Ming wanted Diao Chan and Mrs. Mi to give birth to monkeys for him, the other four had already given birth, and the two of them couldn't always be unborn, both of them were worried about this, afraid of falling out of favor.
After Zhang Ming left, when he went outside, the soldier gave him a piece of information.
"Oh, Lu Bu attacked Liu Bei and occupied Xuzhou."
"This Liu Bei is homeless again, so he went to Cao Cao."
Liu Bei went directly to Cao Cao, and the two were originally enemies, but now they are together.
At this time, Cao Cao called Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Man Pang and others.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about Lu Bu's occupation of Xuzhou?"
After some discussion, Guo Jia said: "Lord, while Lu Bu is not standing steadily, we should quickly attack Xuzhou and destroy Lu Bu." β
After careful evaluation, everyone found that it should not be difficult to attack Lu Bu.
At this time, Lu Bu had no foundation in Xuzhou, and it was impossible to get too much support.
And he has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters, plus tens of thousands of Xuzhou troops under his control.
These Xuzhou troops will definitely not have the combat effectiveness he had before.
Therefore, Cao Cao decided to immediately send troops to attack Xuzhou and destroy LΓΌ Bu.
Cao Cao dispatched troops quickly, and this matter immediately made Yuan Shao vigilant.
Cao Cao had become the second largest prince.
The territory is huge.
It's almost time to catch up with Yuan Shao.
At this time, Yuan Shao couldn't sit still.
Yuan Shao at this time was not the original Yuan Shao, because Youzhou was supposed to be his, but now it is occupied by Zhang Ming.
Yuan Shao was very worried, afraid that Cao Cao's strength would be greater than his.
So, Yuan Shao was studying what to do.
Zhang Ming also received news that Chen Gong and Lu Bu should be killed in this battle.
After receiving the news, Zhang Ming began to think, what should he do?
"Write to Yuan Shao immediately, we want to send troops to help Xuzhou, we need to send 30,000 troops, let him borrow it."
If you want to go to Xuzhou, you have to pass through Qingzhou, and you need to borrow the road.
Zhang Ming asked people to go quickly, and at the same time ordered the soldiers and horses.
This time, he planned to take Guan Zhang Zhao with him.
Yuan Shao's reply was also very fast, and after the letter arrived in Yecheng, Yuan Shao agreed immediately after reading it.
Yuan Shaozheng didn't know how to weaken Cao Cao's strength, and Zhang Ming was willing to send troops, so it was naturally the best.
However, Zhang Ming's dispatch of troops was not for me to kill Lu Bu, but for his own purpose.
First of all, population is a must, and Zhang Ming has already mobilized ships to go south, ready to load the displaced people.
At the same time, Zhang Ming quickly dispatched troops.
Zhang Ming had to go through Yuan Shao's consent, and it was a few days late to receive the news, and Cao Cao had been attacking for more than a month at this time.
Cao Cao's soldiers were very fast, and with elite soldiers and strong generals, he killed Lu Bu and retreated.
This Lu Bu had an unstable foothold, although he robbed Liu Bei's territory, but the soldiers and horses that came from him were not useful.
Cao Cao had too many fierce generals, and it was very difficult for Lu Bu to attack.
After several days of running, Zhang Ming finally arrived in Xuzhou.
However, Zhang Ming first carried out humanitarian assistance to the people of Xuzhou.
On the first day, he collected thousands of people.
Zhang Ming collected people in many cities on the periphery of the battlefield.
Organized people are led to the sea, then put on boats and transported back.
Cao Cao had already received this news, but he was at the critical time of attacking Lu Bu at this time, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Zhang Ming.
However, Cao Cao is so angry.
Why did he fight to the death there, while Zhang Ming came to rob his spoils.
Population is a strategic resource, and Zhang Ming collected it unscrupulously.
This time, the exiles were more ruthless than before, and Zhang Ming went directly to the city to recruit.
At this time, the people were very panicked, after all, Cao Cao's reputation in Xuzhou was too bad.
There have been massacres before.
Nowadays, many people follow Zhang Ming.
Within a few days, Zhang Ming had taken away more than 60,000 people.
The homeless people lined up in an orderly manner to follow Zhang Ming, which made Cao Cao unbearable.
Cao Cao was angry, so he called Cao Ren and Xu Chu.
"You two, bring 20,000 troops to stop Zhang Ming, even if we don't want the homeless, we can't just let Zhang Ming take it away."
Cao Cao was angry and directly ordered an attack.
And Zhang Ming only sent 10,000 people to recruit the homeless, and the other 20,000 people were watching from the sidelines.
"Lord, a Cao army is coming."
The scout came to report.
Zhang Ming was neither happy nor angry, and his majestic gaze swept over.
"The generals will listen to the order and prepare to attack."
This time, Zhang Ming didn't want to continue to be silent, and he had to fight, otherwise he would not achieve his strategic goal.
Zhang Ming led the whole army to rush up and kill Cao's army.
At this time, Cao Ren and Xu Chu were still rushing to Zhang Ming's side, they thought that Zhang Ming was just here to make trouble, and they were unwilling to fight them, just like last time.
