Another year passed.

In March 188, Zhang Ming had just finished his busy work when a guard came to report.

"Report to the lord, urgent."

In a hurry, Zhang Ming can't receive a few copies a year, something big must have happened.

"Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju are ready to start an incident."

After receiving the letter, Zhang Ming paid attention to it.

Zhang Ming took the letter and thought about it.

In history, this Zhang was pure Zhongshan Taishou, and later rebelled, fled into Wuhuan, called himself General Mitian, and later carried a large army with Qiu Liju and invaded four states, which was very violent.

In fact, this battle was also the time when Gongsun Chan performed, and the main force in counterinsurgency was Gongsun Chan.

"Please Lu Gong and Tian Feng come quickly, pass the order, and let Xi Zhicai return to Liaodong."

This is a big deal, Zhang Ming didn't dare to delay, and immediately started arranging.

Soon.

Lu Zhi and Tian Feng came hand in hand.

Zhang Ming handed over the information to the two people and said, "The people of our caravan found that Wuhuan and Zhang Chun were hoarding supplies and preparing to invade the south. ”

"These thieves are causing trouble in the world, and they really deserve to be killed." Lu Zhi is too upright, and these people are going to invade again, which is really angry.

Lu Zhi handed over the information to the intelligence, and then said: "Taishou, it is better to report to Your Majesty immediately, so that the court can prepare." ”

Zhang Ming nodded and said: "I'm afraid it's too late, our caravan can find out, proving that they have been prepared to the later stage, in an instant, Luoyang back and forth, plus the court quarrel, it will also take more than a month." ”

Zhang Ming looked at the two people, and then said: "I can play and ask for troops, and we will be ready, even if the holy decree has not yet arrived, we will send troops." ”

Sending troops without a holy decree is a big taboo.

An old minister like Lu Zhi would never agree.

However, Tian Feng felt that he should prepare in advance.

"It's better to ask Lu Gong to write a letter to Liu Zhoumu, Liaodong is nominally a subordinate of Youzhou, you can ask Liu Zhoumu to order troops."

Zhang Ming proposed, Lu Zhi agreed, once Wuhuan invaded, he would be able to fight immediately, in fact, as long as Wuhuan attacked Liaodong, or other places in Youzhou, Zhang Ming could directly send troops without a holy decree, but now that Liu Yu has a good relationship with Wuhuan, I don't know if he will invade Youzhou.

"Okay, the old man can write a letter."

Lu Zhi left, Zhang Ming looked at Tian Feng again and said, "The things to prepare, if Zhicai is not there, there will be Lao Yuanhao." ”

Tian Feng nodded and went to prepare.

And Zhang Ming called Guan Zhang Zhao and Xu Huang again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there may be a big war, the army is stepping up training, don't worry about supplies, just use them."

"Once the war starts, one-third of the veterans will be deployed, and the remaining two-thirds must be new soldiers, so that the combat effectiveness of the recruits can be rapidly improved after they see blood."

After Zhang Ming finished speaking, the four generals were very happy that they could finally fight again.

"Big brother, don't worry, I won't go back and kill these rabbit cubs."

Zhang Fei couldn't hold it anymore and couldn't wait to send troops now.

Zhang Fei's training was too fierce, but Zhang Ming and they watched it personally, and there was nothing big about it.

"Well, hurry up and prepare, maybe we will have to send troops in the near future."

Zhang Ming couldn't tell when it would break out, so it was always right to prepare in advance.

Zhang Chun, who was a Taishou in his early years, later rebelled, and the harm was very great.

This person is very familiar with the situation of Dahan.

Zhang Ming ordered preparations, and at the same time, the construction site of the city was in full swing, and a large number of stones and other materials were transported.

When Zhang Ming was preparing, Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju gathered a large number of troops to prepare for the invasion.

They were also sad, they didn't go south to loot last year, and although they could buy supplies, they quickly ran out of money.

Their money was looted in the first place.

In this way, under Zhang Chun's instigation, they are about to start chaos again.

Qiu Li lived in the king's tent, and Zhang Chun sat opposite him.

"King, don't attack Liaodong again."

"Why? How many sons did Liaodong kill me, how could he not take revenge. ”

Qiu Liju was very dissatisfied, Zhang Ming directly destroyed their 30,000 army last time, and he was still angry at this time.

"King, our purpose this time is to plunder, we can invade the four states, and the troops must be scattered, and this Liaodong Zhangming, with strong troops, is really not cost-effective to attack him."

"It's better to wait for us to return from plundering, concentrate our forces, and then attack him."

Although Qiu Liju was very reluctant, he had no choice but to agree.

After the two discussed, Qiu Liju said: "We mainly invaded Jizhou and Qingzhou, and this place is relatively rich. ”

Zhang Chun agreed, especially Jizhou, he was originally the Taishou of Zhongshan County in Jizhou, and he knew how rich it was.

Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju were formulating a strategy, Qiu Liju was purely for plundering, and Zhang Chun also wanted to occupy the territory and continue his great cause.

Zhang Ming and Gongsun Zan both received the news, and Liu Yu also tried in vain to settle it peacefully, so he sent an envoy.

Zhang Chun took the opportunity to ask Qiu Liju to pretend to agree, confused Liu Yu, and asked for a batch of supplies.

"Your Majesty, the time is ripe to go south."

Qiu Liju is also excited, this time the plan is very big, to loot four states, of course, the focus is on Qingzhou and Jizhou.

"Okay, my army is heading south."

Qiu Liju and Zhang Chunyi combined, and the two sent out a large army and headed south.

Liaodong.

Fast Malay News.

"Report, lord, Wuhuan and Zhang Chun, more than 200,000 troops have been dispatched, and they have gone south."

The news that Zhang Ming was waiting for finally arrived.

This is a big deal, Zhang Ming immediately ordered Guan Zhang Zhao, Xu Huang, Tian Feng, and Lu Zhi to come to the discussion.

Wait for everyone to arrive.

Zhang Ming said loudly: "Wuhuan has already gone south, the goal is not clear, I immediately led 10,000 cavalry to set off." ”

"Duke Lu, Xiangping City will be handed over to you, there are 20,000 troops, the city will not be captured, Liaodong will be fully defended, and will not take the initiative to fight."

Zhang Ming judged that the target of dispatching so many troops would not be Liaodong, and it would be meaningless for them to take down Liaodong.

Therefore, no matter how many enemies come, Zhang Ming let Lu Zhi's 20,000-strong army defend.

This Liaodong is his base camp, he can go to rescue other places, but he can't let his base camp have any accidents.

Leave the infantry behind and let Lu Zhi defend it, the enemy will not be able to break through unless they mobilize an army of more than 100,000 troops.

"Rest assured, with the old man here, Liaodong is safe and sound." Lu Zhi said.

This is not the time to be modest, Lu Zhi knows righteousness.

"Okay, please leave everything to Duke Lu at home, Yuan Hao, you will do your best to assist Duke Lu in defending Liaodong, don't rush to war, even if there are fighters, you must put the safety of Liaodong first, as long as there is the foundation of Liaodong, even if other places are broken, we also have the ability to help the people rebuild their homes."

Lu Zhi suddenly felt that Zhang Ming was like a pillar stone, and he could support the entire Youzhou.

After a brief explanation, Zhang Ming took Guan Zhangzhao and Xu Huang away.

Even if Wuhuan and Zhang Chun led a large army to attack Liaodong, Zhang Ming had to take the initiative to attack, and only by repelling their main force could the entire Youzhou and Liaodong be calm.
