Cao Cao died.

When he died, something exploded.

Zhang Ming didn't check it at that time.

Now he is alone in the state governor's mansion.

Zhang Ming took out what he got from killing Cao Cao.

"Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."

Zhang Ming killed Cao Cao and revealed a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, followed by 10 million points.

This picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains was created by Zhao Huang of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was magnificent.

"This can be regarded as a gift from Cao Cao to me to be the emperor."

The map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is indeed suitable for Zhang Ming.

"Big brother, what should you do with this little emperor?"

Zhang Ming saw Guan Yu come back after dealing with the battlefield, and someone behind him was carrying Liu Xie.

Liu Xie's frame was overturned, his leg rate was broken, and he was carried at this time.

"Find a place in the city first, let people take good care of him."

Liu Xie fell into his own hands, and Zhang Ming didn't know what to do.

Although he didn't want to see this emperor, he couldn't kill him directly.

Liu Xie was very helpless, he was a puppet all his life.

Only when he was a child, when Liu Hong was alive, was a little better.

A day passed, and the army was still cleaning the battlefield outside the city.

At the same time, soldiers began to fill in two trenches.

In addition, the tunnels that Zhang Ming and the others dug should also be filled in slowly.

Shouchun City, to slowly restore the original appearance.

After Li Dian and Le went in and out, he knew that this Yangzhou was no longer bearable, and he also knew that Cao Cao could not come back alive.

Along the way, they took the military land in the city with them, and then went all the way south, preparing to cross the river to find Cao Ang.

Zhang Ming didn't send someone to pursue, there was no need, the pursuit couldn't be done.

As for those cities, they can't run anyway.

The enemy also had no chance to destroy.

Zhang Ming asked Guan Yu to lead 30,000 troops the next day, and first took over the city to maintain order.

This battle is over.

However, there are a lot of issues that need to be dealt with.

Zhang Ming took Yangzhou, Yuzhou, and most of the divisions.

Now, about eighty percent of the population of the entire world is occupied by Zhang Ming.

At this time, most areas south of the Yangtze River were not very well underdeveloped.

Zhang Ming was in Shouchun City, planning the next step.

In the territory of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, the remnants of the enemy are now being cleaned up.

It's just that there are still some families and landlords who are not willing to give up a large amount of land.

However, it is not up to them now.

Zhang Ming is not short of talents now, he will do it directly, he will use the fastest time to clean up these people.

A few days later, Zhang Ming was planning his future development in Shouchun City.

Suddenly, the soldiers sent a war report.

"Xiahoudun and Zhang Xiu actually escaped."

"Liu Bei and Sun Ce sent troops to attack our army and instigated them to escape."

Liu Bei controlled Jingzhou, and originally wanted to have time to develop well.

The result turned out to be that Zhang Ming quickly defeated Cao Cao, and then swept through two states plus a division.

Nanyang is an important gateway to Jingzhou.

Originally, Liu Bei and Sun Ce planned to capture Nanyang, but they were only discovered by Xi Zhi.

After Xi Zhi found out, he fought hard with them, and both suffered great losses.

Liu Bei and Sun Ce knew that they couldn't fight, so they covered the retreat of Xiahoudun and Zhang Xiu, left Nanyang, and entered Jingzhou.

At this time, Xi Zhicai led more than 50,000 troops to garrison Nanyang.

Only with drama can Nanyang be stabilized, I believe that Liu Bei's side does not have many opportunities.

Zhang Ming controlled most of the department, and now he was ready to take action to solve the Xiliang Land.

In that place, only the Ma family is still active.

But with them, they couldn't stop Zhang Ming's army.

Zhang Ming only planned to drop 60,000 troops, and the rest of the army began to prepare to attack Liu Bei and Sun Ce.

Zhang Ming will continue to further optimize the deployment of the army.

The army of Jizhou directly entered the division.

The armies of Xuzhou and Yuzhou also entered Yangzhou and Yuzhou respectively.

In this way, the army moved further south.

"Do you want to solve it right away?"

Zhang Ming can choose now, the army will invade south immediately, as long as he is given a year to prepare, mobilize the army's food and grass, and prepare boats.

"Yangtze River, it's still not easy to deal with."

Zhang Ming mobilized a navy and went to the mouth of the Yangtze River to train there.

At the same time, 50,000 troops were transferred over to learn water there.

When Zhang Ming began to prepare, he found that it was not easy for the army to cross the river.

Most of his army did not understand the nature of water.

The ships are well prepared, and a fleet can be brought directly from the north, and there are experienced crews.

However, the soldier still did not fit.

Zhang Ming was going to cut off some of the cavalry, and then build many strongholds on the Yangtze River.

Zhang Ming plans to arrange more than a dozen points on the north bank of the entire Yangtze River.

Directly build a water village and build a port wharf.

In this way, the enemy is not strong enough and has no way to defend at all.

They had to give up most of the places and focus on defending some.

Along the Yangtze River, there are thousands of miles.

Everywhere could be the place where Zhang Ming crossed the river.

However, if you cross the river, you can't attack them right away.

However, after Zhang Ming crossed the river, he could establish a stronghold there, and then slowly erode it.

"Okay, let's let the army get used to it for a while, and we'll see in a few months."

Zhang Ming, who was attacking rapidly, suddenly wanted to slow down his rhythm.

It's not that he doesn't want to unify the country as soon as possible.

It's not to be in a hurry.

When the army arrived in the south, many did not adapt.

Zhang Ming wanted the troops to be stationed separately in the south and train separately, so that they could familiarize themselves with the climate in the south as soon as possible.

At the same time, Zhang Ming also distributed the map.

These maps were exploded by Zhang Ming.

Then, Zhang Ming sent special bibi to go deep into the south to investigate.

Speaking of Cao Ang, it is also a big mess at this time.

He did not expect his army to suffer such a major blow.

Cao Cao died, and Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan also fell.

Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Sili were also lost.

This was a huge blow to Cao Ang.

Cheng Yu said to Cao Ang: "The eldest prince, for the sake of today's plan, only by developing and cooperating with Jingzhou, Changsha and other aspects can it be possible to stop Zhang Ming." ”

Cao Ang didn't say anything, and now it is very difficult to rule the river.

Cao Ang now controls a lack of population and army, and although he has large tracts of land, much of it is wasteland.

"I want to pay homage to my father."

Cao Ang already knew everything that had happened that day.

"Eldest Prince, now is not the time."

"Hey."

Cao Ang sighed deeply, and then said, "Sir, I would like to invite you to Jingzhou or Changsha County. ”

"The eldest prince wants to discuss with Liu Bei and Sun Ce?"

"Jiangdong is a place that can no longer be defended, Zhang Ming can cross the river very easily, and he can still come from the sea."

"We may be attacked everywhere, so it is better to let him open up a large piece of land for us around Dongting Lake, and we will cultivate there."

After listening to this, Cheng Yu said, "Okay, I'll go and discuss it with them." ”

Cheng Yu left.

However, the pressure on the crowd was enormous.

At this time, Cao Ang controlled more than 60,000 troops.

In addition, he also wants to build a base around Poyang Lake.

However, Zhang Ming's threat is on the side, and he must get two bases.

Sun Ce and Liu Bei are also under double pressure.

Especially Jingzhou.

Now although Jingzhou is rich and Liu Bei controls many soldiers and horses, Jingzhou can be directly attacked.

Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and Pang Tong sat together again.

"I must find a way to delay Zhang Ming's attack, otherwise I will not have a stable foothold in Jingzhou..."

Liu Bei's face was full of worry.

He didn't say any more, but glanced at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce said: "Our army, together with your army, will definitely be able to block Zhang Ming for a while, and Xuande Gong can recruit some people to move south and go to the other side of the Yangtze River, and then it will be able to greatly delay the attack of Zhang Ming's army." ”

"The huge Jingzhou is not easy to say, if you want to move the population, I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve any scale in two years." Liu Bei said.

Now they are facing great difficulties.

Sun Ce said: "There is no way, at this time Zhang Ming has already mobilized a large army, and the next step should be to attack Jingzhou." ”

"Now the city can't be defended, Zhang Ming has the ability to blow up the city wall, so we can deploy soldiers and horses on the mountain roads and waterways in Jingzhou."

"No, we won't be able to stop them for much longer."

Liu Bei is very unconfident now.

He said: "We should take Shuchuan, and then transfer most of the population over, and then be in Shuchuan, waiting for the situation to change." ”

Liu Bei wants to take Shuchuan.

Sun Ce was a little reluctant.

Liu Bei ran to Shuchuan, so what should he do?

Sun Ce couldn't transfer all his people over.

Changsha County, on the other side of the Yangtze River, is far away, and the people are reluctant to relocate, so will they be escorted by the army when the time comes?

What's more, the army may not go at all times.

At this time, Pang Tong said: "Wu Hou, you don't have to worry, if we defeat Shuchuan, we will give up Jingzhou, and at that time, you and I will fight against Zhang Ming." ”

In this way, Sun Ce is much more acceptable.

Then, Liu Bei said: "In order to delay Zhang Ming's attack, I also ask Wu Hou to make a certain sacrifice." ”

Liu Bei is willing to give up Jingzhou, and this Sun Ce is much easier to say.

So, Sun Ce said: "Xuande Gong, please speak, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help." ”

Liu Bei and Pang Tong glanced at each other.

Liu Bei nodded and continued: "We pay tribute and pretend to surrender, in addition, I heard that Ling Mei is extremely beautiful, if she marries Zhang Ming, she will definitely be able to delay for several months." ”

Sun Ce stood up suddenly, his eyes blazing.

"You want me to send my sister to Zhang Ming."

Liu Bei still sat calmly.

"Otherwise, how would Zhang Ming believe that we are sincere, and we will send some people to pretend to negotiate, so that it can drag on for a while."

"Zhang Ming is lustful, let's send some more beauties over, let Ling Mei also blow the wind on the pillow, and tell Zhang Ming that we really want to be a minister."

Sun Ce's face was furious.

It was his beloved sister.

Liu Bei didn't care what Sun Ce's expression was, he continued: "If we don't do this, we simply won't have enough time to lay down Shuchuan. ”

"As long as we pretend to surrender and send people to negotiate, we quickly occupy Shuchuan, and I will give up Jingzhou, and then we will be able to compete with Zhang Ming."

Sun Ce didn't know how to refute at this time.

Like, it's a very good deal indeed.

"It's not a loss to marry Zhang Ming, if you win, you will win a piece of the country, if you lose, Ling Mei will also marry Zhang Ming who wants to be the emperor."

When Liu Bei said this, it seemed that he didn't lose left and right.

But he forgot that once he found out that Sun Ce was lying to him, maybe Zhang Ming would kill Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Ce slowly calmed down, and then sat down.

"You will give out a sister, and I will select nine beauties from Jingzhou, and send them all over when the time comes, and then send a sum of money to show your submission."

"When the time comes, Zhang Ming will definitely lose himself, give us enough time to lay down Shuchuan."

Sun Ce didn't object, he acquiesced.

This time, he wants to use his sister to trade with Zhang Ming.

He didn't know what would happen, and when Zhang Ming found out that he had been deceived, he would kill Sun Shangxiang.

However, he doesn't seem to have any more options.

Soon, the four of them separated and went their separate ways.

Liu Bei will immediately select beautiful women and raise a sum of money.

Jingzhou has a very large population and a developed economy.

Originally, Liu Bei had Jingzhou, which was very happy.

However, today's Jingzhou can't stop Zhang Ming.

That had to give up.

After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu left, Liu Bei asked, "Shiyuan, do we really want to give Jingzhou to Sun Ce?" ”

"Lord, Jingzhou can't be defended, give Sun Ce, we can buy at least a few months, and then transfer part of the population and wealth."

"If we don't give it to Sun Ce, there will be no basis for cooperation between the two of us at that time, and Sun Ce will not help us block Zhang Ming, but will attack us, and Jingzhou will be lost at that time."

Liu Bei is still very reluctant, this Jingzhou is a good place.

But it's really uncomfortable.

Although there are many places that can block Zhang Ming, there are also Yangtze River natural hazards in some places.

However, Zhang Mingbing has enough food and dares to fight with you.

Zhang Ming has so many states, several times the population and troops, if he really wants to kill him, it is not enough to see it at all.

Therefore, only Shuchuan, only Shuchuan can block Zhang Ming.

Liu Bei began to intensify his preparations, and he had already prepared a full 80,000 troops.

On the one hand, he was also actively preparing to block Zhang Ming in many places.

At this time, Zhang Ming sent a message to the cabinet, asking the cabinet to raise a sum of money, and then let the cabinet go to Jizhou.

And Zhang Ming also set off for Jizhou.

A few days later, Zhang Ming arrived in Jizhou.

"Meet the Marquis of Liao."

Fu Zhu also arrived early and saluted Zhang Ming.

Fu Zhu did not call Zhang Ming the lord, like Guo Jia, he was semi-forced to work for Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming didn't care.

"Frustrated, I want to rebuild Yecheng, you can coordinate this matter, and temporarily appoint you as the governor of Jizhou."

There were tears in his eyes.

This is his home, and it's finally going to be rebuilt.

"For the people of Jizhou, I thank Liaohou."

Frustrated and bowed deeply.

It is important to rebuild.

Here, there used to be a garrison, and when Zhang Ming and they were stationed here, they arranged for some people to clean up every day, and this piece of land was cleared into flat land.

This greatly facilitated the construction of the city.

"Fu Zhi, you start preparing now, and coordinate with the cabinet for money and people."

"In addition, the quality must be guaranteed, and the planning must be strictly in accordance with the drawings."

"I've got the drawings ready, and they'll be delivered soon."

"Yes, Marquis Liao."

Zhang Ming arrived here and did not leave in a hurry.

He was waiting for news from the cabinet, and now Zhang Ming wanted to know the financial situation.

Now, he still has a lot to do, and now that he has won most of the places, the next is the main line of war.

Next, large-scale investment and construction will be carried out, and Yecheng is just the beginning.
