Cao Cao is in pain.

Zhang Ming didn't support him, thinking that he could fight against Yuan Shao with Zhang Ming, but he still failed.

Today, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have been recruiting troops, transporting military rations, and building weapons and equipment.

Both sides have been preparing for war.

And Zhang Ming did nothing except give birth to children and pay attention to the situation.

It has been four months since Zhang Ming started construction of the city.

In the past four months, Zhang Ming almost ignored government affairs and military affairs, but he still paid attention to the situation.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao began to prepare after almost three months of preparation, after reaching a preliminary tacit understanding with Zhang Ming.

It has already been three months, and the conscripted army can basically complete the preparation for the attack after another two months of training.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were about to fight, and Zhang Ming called Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng.

"Tian Feng, you can first introduce the overall situation of our Youzhou."

Tian Feng sorted out some information in his hand before saying: "Lord, now we have Youzhou plus two other counties, the total income is ¥¥¥, the total expenditure is ¥¥¥¥¥, and the expenditure is more than twice the income. ”

"However, after deducting the cost of building the city, the income and expenditure are basically balanced, and this year we have resettled more than 300,000 displaced people, developed a large amount of land, distributed a large number of tools, and we will be able to get a return immediately. It won't be long before the income will far exceed the expenses and can be used elsewhere. ”

After understanding the strength in general, Zhang Ming was relieved.

Although there is no money for the war now, Zhang Ming can use the money he has in reserve, and he will be able to collect taxes soon.

After understanding the situation, Zhang Ming asked Xi Zhicai.

"Zhicai, how long do you think the two sides will fight?"

Xi Zhicai didn't bring any information, but he was already in his chest.

"Lord, judging by subordinates, about three months."

Zhang Ming knew in his heart that three months was enough time for him to do a lot of things.

"Very good, Yuan Cao battle, it has a great impact on us. When the two sides invest a lot, that is, when we take the initiative to attack, we can't prepare directly, and when the time comes, we need to urgently recruit troops, then equip the army, and then fall into the ground. Now that Yuan Shao is staring, we will find out about our actions. ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, first prepare money and food, and then prepare the place and personnel for training recruits, once the mobilization begins, the recruits will be in place in ten days, and then the training will begin." ”

"We are scattered to each county, hundreds to more than 1,000 people in a county, so that the whole can deceive Yuan Shao for a lot of time."

"When the two armies are critical, we will be able to have tens of thousands of more soldiers and horses."

This plan has been made before, and now it is just a matter of confirming it.

"Good. The matter was handed over to Tian Feng to deal with secretly, and he scattered the preparations, so as not to let people see the flaws. ”

The two major military groups are about to go to war, and Zhang Ming's plan is actually very difficult, but it is man-made.

Now, the two sides have begun to send troops to the front line, and at the same time, Yuan Shao is not at ease with Zhang Ming, so he specially arranged 30,000 troops to watch Zhang Ming's army.

Another month has passed, and there is still a lot of news about Zhang Ming, all of which are about how extravagant Zhang Ming is.

In order to eat meat, he built a pig farm, of course, the ancient people did not like pork very much, that is because the pigs were not castrated.

Nowadays, the castrated pigs, not to mention the growth of the meat is still delicious.

Zhang Ming raised a lot of pigs, which were not only eaten by himself, but also for the army, as well as to provide ingredients for the restaurant.

However, the outside world thinks he is extravagant.

Zhang Ming also built a very large football field, which also made a group of scholars scold.

The more he scolded Zhang Ming, the more he didn't care.

On this day, he began to experiment with the prescription given to him by the Empress Dowager He.

In fact, Empress Dowager He didn't know what the prescription was, but she asked the imperial doctor afterwards what would happen if she took this medicine.

The imperial physician thought it was for the emperor, so he added some medicine to promote the excitement of men and women.

However, when it was applied to the emperor's viagra, the effect of the medicine changed, and Zhang Ming ate it.

On this day, Zhang Ming applied some drugs to increase interest on viagra, and then he ate three kidneys.

In the evening, Zhang Ming found Cai Yan and Zhang Ning.

"Husband, come on, the concubine is going to give you a monkey."

Cai Yan, who has never been able to give birth, is very guilty and quite active.

And although Zhang Ning didn't speak, he didn't stop moving, and he was ready.

So, the three of them worked together to accomplish some great cause of humanity.

This time, Zhang Ming couldn't control himself, as if he was still the queen that day.

"This time it will work."

Zhang Ming worked very hard. Finally, all the rituals were completed in the middle of the night.

The ceremony is complete. Whether there is a result or not depends on the will of God.

Three days passed. Zhang Ming, Cai Yan and Zhang Ning once again completed a solemn and sacred monkey birth ceremony.

The ceremony is complete. is just waiting for the result, this time three days apart, it is considered double insurance.

After more than ten days, the good news came that Cai Yan and Zhang Ning were finally pregnant.

"Hahaha, that's great."

"I declare that, in order to celebrate, a great feast will be given to all the principal generals. The principal officials were all recalled. ”

"In addition, spend a lot of money to buy delicacies from the mountains and seas. It must be precious food. ”

"Also, decorate a palace for me with rare treasures."

Cai Yan and Zhang Ning have it. Zhang Ming was so happy. His subordinates are also happy, and there is a successor, of course, the best, at least the power is stable.

As for Zhang Ming to do such a ridiculous thing, he has to feast his ministers and build a palace.

These will definitely make Zhang Ming's reputation worse, but they can confuse the enemy.

Moreover, the recall of military generals is also preparing to assign tasks.

As for how much it will cost this time?

It doesn't really cost much. It is true to build luxurious palaces. Zhang Ming only needs to install the glass. There are a lot of ceramics and glass products in the decoration, many famous paintings that have not yet exploded, and then the jewelry extorted from Dong Zhuo.

In this way, the palace is luxurious, but it does not cost much. It can confuse the enemy.

The news spread, and sure enough, Zhang Ming's gossip increased.

A few days later, Guan Zhangzhao and other generals, as well as some Taishou and others, returned to Jixian County.

After coming back, Zhang Ming was not in a hurry to send tasks, but first feasted for three days, and then held a meeting in the state governor's mansion and assigned the tasks of each county first.

Most of the county's tasks were normal business, and only a few were related to military operations, but these taishou had no idea of the plan.

For detailed things, Tian Feng will arrange them secretly.

Arrange covert operations in the normal course of government affairs, and the enemy can only find them unless they can collect them comprehensively and then analyze them carefully.

As a guest at this banquet, Zhang Ming also reaffirmed his extravagant image.

After another ten days, the clouds of war were thick, and it seemed that a big war could be fought at any time.

And Zhang Ming will also enjoy this last peace.

There were two fewer people in the hot spring pool, but Zhang Ming was more calm.

Big Joe and Little Joe are still lively and cute. Recently, I especially like to wear uniforms, and I want to hook up with Zhang Ming to give birth to monkeys.

And Zhang Ming didn't worry about it after he knew the way, lest he would be pregnant and no one would accompany him to the hot springs.
