Gongsun Zhan and they discussed for a month before they would raise troops to persecute Zhang Ming.

Because, the Taishou did not dare to leave their own county, on the one hand, they were afraid of being intercepted and killed by Zhang Ming on the way, and at the same time, they were afraid of leaking the news.

Once they all left, Zhang Ming knew what was going on.

In fact, Zhang Ming's intelligence system has already received news one after another, but it is not sure what will happen to them.

In the past month or so, Zhang Fei has been attacking everywhere and has already gone to other counties to collect taxes.

The tax collectors have collected several waves back, and some families who are afraid of things have more or less paid some taxes.

However, most people pay very little, and they pay very, very little in full.

However, this also made Zhang Ming make a lot of money, at least the extra 10,000 troops can be fed.

In this way, the entire family in Youzhou was extremely angry with Zhang Ming.

I can't wait to hammer Zhang Ming to death.

When they knew that Gongsun Chan and other Taishou were going to send troops to intervene, the various families immediately began to move.

The families are connected everywhere to give support to the Taishou and let them do it with confidence.

When, when the Taishou began to gather soldiers and horses, Zhang Ming called Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Xi Zhicai.

"Zhicai, what do you suggest?" Zhang Ming explained the basic situation.

Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, now it has begun, if it stops, then the Taishou of all counties will continue to unite and put pressure on the lord, and the lord will not be able to move an inch in the future, so the only way to defeat them is to defeat them." ”

Zhang Ming nodded, that's exactly what he meant.

"Okay, Zhicai stays behind and continues to train the army, and I will go with the second and fourth brothers to support."

The family is all arranged, and Zhang Ming is not afraid.

So, he set off with Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.

They took hundreds of people with them, and then went to meet Zhang Fei and Xu Huang.

A few days later, Gongsun Zhan and the others also gathered 10,000 troops and slaughtered Liaoxi.

Gongsun Chan led the coalition army, a total of 10,000 people.

10,000 troops, coming in vast, confronted Zhang Ming in western Liaoning.

In this Youzhou, there will be two powerful armies facing each other.

This shrouded the territory of Youzhou in a haze.

Gongsun Chan led an army of 10,000, and Zhang Ming brought Guan Zhangzhao and Xu Huang to confront Gongsun Chan.

"Zhang Ming, you have acted perversely, the heavens are angry and resentful, and now this Taishou and the rest of the Taishou have joined forces to crusade against you, do you have something to say."

The two armies confronted each other on a large area of flat land, although the other party's army was twice as large as his own, but Zhang Ming was not afraid at all, the other party was pieced together.

"Hahaha." Zhang Ming laughed a few times at first, and then sat down and immediately said: "Ben Taishou was ordered to collect taxes, what was wrong, all the people who killed were tax resistants, Ben Taishou was merciful, only killed the first evil, did not arrest them all, and waited for His Majesty to behead them all." ”

Zhang Ming said something that stunned them.

It was very harsh for everyone to hear, not a taste.

However, Zhang Ming corrected his position and continued: "It's just waiting, gathering crowds, what's the so-called? Without His Majesty's will, the formation of a united army, Mo told me, is to assist Ben Taishou to collect taxes. ”

"Zhang Ming, let you spit lotus flowers in your mouth today, and don't want to change our determination to expel you." Gongsun Zhan saw that his people were shaken, and hurriedly said: "I will unite with everyone in Youzhou to expel you, even if Your Majesty knows, he will definitely not blame us." ”

The law does not blame the public, there are many of them, and with the cooperation of the whole family in the court, the emperor has nothing to do with them.

Zhang Ming's plan of discord has failed, and Gongsun Chan can see it very clearly.

Zhang Ming was still calm, sat on the horse, looked around, and then said: "Ben Taishou is not targeting anyone, but I want to say that everyone present is scum." ”

On Gongsun Zhan's side, everyone was furious, as long as Gongsun Chan gave the order, they would kill him and tear Zhang Ming apart.

However, Zhang Ming ignored their angry gazes, and said: "I don't think it's as good as this, the two armies are fighting, morality does not exist, you may not be sanctioned by the imperial court, but there must be a settlement after the autumn, and Your Majesty will not tolerate a gang of rebels." ”

"And..."

"Lao Tzu was ordered to collect taxes, but you don't accept it."

Zhang Ming pointed at everyone and said: "It's better to be like this, my four brothers, plus my subordinates Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, you and others send ten people to challenge any one of us and others, as long as you win three games, I will stop and go back, what do you think?" ”

Guan Zhang Zhao's reputation was already very loud during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Gongsun Zhan's side was not sure.

Zhang Ming saw that Gongsun Zan was hesitating, so he shouted: "The whole army is ready." ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Zhang Ming's army was boiling and murderous all of a sudden.

Suddenly, on Gongsun Zhan's side, someone was instigated, and he quietly retreated.

The momentum of the two armies, the contrast between the superior and the inferior.

On one side is a team that has experienced several battlefields, and on the other side is a patchwork army.

"Gongsun Taishou, give you a day to think about it, if you want to go to war, I'm afraid you will have to recruit tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."

After Zhang Ming finished speaking, he directly led people away.

When leaving, the army is well-groomed, and as long as it is attacked, it can immediately counterattack.

Gongsun Zhan is a person who understands and is capable, and he sees the strength of Zhang Ming's army.

They had 10,000 men, but their own 2,500 and the rest of their 1,000-odd army were cobbled together.

Such an army will certainly not be able to withstand the impact of one side with a strict battle formation.

"Hey~"

Gongsun Chan sighed deeply, he knew that he couldn't beat it.

If you can't beat it, you can only accept Zhang Ming's plan.

After going back, Gongsun Chan called everyone over.

"Now, our momentum has been suppressed, and we really can't beat Zhang Ming in the war, and the only way to win is to win the competition." Gongsun Chan said to the envoys of the counties.

"I'll wait according to Gongsun Taishou."

The armies sent by each county are led by generals, and there is no good way at present but to fight a battle.

Gongsun Chan immediately began to choose candidates, and with himself, he picked a total of six people.

Ten games do not require one person not to play at the same time, and there is no rule that one person cannot challenge the same person.

It is for the above reasons that Gongsun Chan wants to agree to Zhang Ming's conditions.

The decision was made quickly.

The next day, the two armies faced each other again.

Gongsun Chan carefully observed Zhang Ming's queue.

The appearance of the army is strict and orderly, and the soldiers are calm and sharp.

The experienced Gongsun Zan knew that Zhang Ming's side was very strong.

"Zhang Taishou, we are willing to accept the conditions you propose, but we have to decide the rules to challenge you." Gongsun Chan said.

It's good that the other party agrees, if Guan Zhangzhao and Xu Huang really lose, they will admit it.

"First of all, you must make a written note, second, the challenge is arbitrary, we can challenge any of the five of yours at will, and third, if you lose, you must not use any excuse to collect taxes again in the future."

"Okay, Ben Taishou agreed."

Zhang Ming readily agreed, and then said, "I can make another concession." ”
