Chapter 363: Zhen Yi escaped
Yuan Shao, who mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, claimed to be millions, personally commanded them and headed for Guandu.
And Cao Cao's soldiers and horses had to be deployed everywhere, and the army was not at home.
He could only lead tens of thousands of troops to resist in person.
At the same time, he sent Cao Ang to secretly form an alliance with Zhang Ming and let Zhang Ming assist him in breaking Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao didn't dare to order Zhang Ming to send troops with him this time, for fear that Zhang Ming would attack him at a critical time.
However, Yuan Shao didn't dare to provoke Zhang Ming, in case he provoked him, Zhang Ming could also attack from behind and cause him great trouble.
And Zhang Ming is also planning.
All over the world, the focus is on Guandu.
The battle between the two armies is about to begin.
The two armies continued to increase their troops in Guandu.
And Zhang Ming is also preparing a nervous secret inside.
At this time, Cao Ang came.
Cao Ang secretly met Zhang Ming.
Seeing that Cao Ang was still alive and did not die in the attack on Zhang Xiu, it was entirely because of Zhang Ming's accident.
Seeing Cao Ang, Zhang Ming was above the main hall, and there were only two of them.
"Master Cao Ang, we don't need to be tempted by both of us, let's just order it."
"My father asked me to come and ask the Protector General to fight."
Zhang Ming nodded, did not talk about the conditions and did not use any reason to shirk.
Zhang Ming fell silent and sent troops, but he still hasn't made any decisions.
Do you want to send troops?
After being silent for a long time, Cao Ang saw that Zhang Ming had not yet decided.
He didn't have to convince Zhang Ming with the truth that his lips were cold and his teeth were cold, because Zhang Ming understood this truth too well, otherwise he would not have secretly given Cao Cao so much gasoline back then and let him burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass.
Cao Ang said: "This time, my father has no chance of winning, it is very dangerous, and he may be defeated. ”
This is true, Cao Cao is indeed not sure at all.
Zhang Ming pondered for a long time, and then said: "I won't move in a short time, once I do, Yuan Shao will inevitably increase troops on my side, and even fight on two fronts." ”
"You, only if you insist, if you can drag Yuan Shao's army, I am willing to send troops to resist, directly detour to the south, and fight side by side with your army."
Both of them saw the situation clearly.
Zhang Ming and Cao Cao had a dirty relationship in Xuzhou, and now they will still send people to ask for help.
Both sides have a common enemy.
Cao Ang knew that there was no need to persuade him anymore.
No matter how much persuasion continues, Zhang Ming will not agree to help them share any pressure now.
However, if they can't hold on, Zhang Ming will send troops.
"General Protector, I will take my leave, I will sit in Xudu, if necessary, eight hundred miles to expedite."
Cao Ang was about to leave.
This time, Yuan Shao used all his strength to kill, putting a lot of pressure on them.
Cao Ang left, and Zhang Ming did not send troops immediately.
He knew very well that now was not the time to send troops.
This time, Zhang Ming's idea was to let them fight first, and he would only make a move after Yuan Shao transferred all the resources.
Within a radius of 200 miles from Guandu, large armies gathered, and major battles often broke out between the two sides.
The two armies mobilized elite soldiers and strong generals.
Yuan Shao relied on his strong power and attacked Cao Cao several times.
Cao Cao was difficult to resist, but Cao Cao was also a vegetarian, and fought back several times with superior forces.
This Lu Bu is also very good, Lu Bu and Xu Chu Dianwei once won more with less, and the Yuan army was defeated.
Fortunately, this Yuan Shaobing has many generals, and although he was defeated, he still has the advantage.
The two armies have been fighting large and small battles.
Within a radius of more than two hundred miles, hundreds of large and small battles have broken out.
Both sides suffered heavy losses, and Cao Cao's forces were insufficient and far from being an opponent.
Yuan Shao also suffered heavy losses, but he continuously transferred troops from the rear.
His three sons, one in Qingzhou, one in Jizhou, and one in Bingzhou, have continued to collect grain, grass and soldiers for him.
And Cao Cao, fighting in all directions, could not mobilize troops.
He didn't dare to withdraw other soldiers and horses to support, that way he would lose faster.
The fight started, and this Cao Cao gradually began to get nervous.
Cao Cao's soldiers, horses, and grass were insufficient, and it was very dangerous.
The two armies held each other for a long time, and both sides set up their own camps around Guandu to hold on.
Cao Cao was on the defensive, while Yuan Shao attacked.
The two sides are fighting for months.
Cao Cao's rear was not very stable, while Yuan Shao's rear was relatively stable, and nothing unfavorable happened.
Zhen family, Zhen Yi has sent three batches of grain and grass to Yuan Shao in a row.
Recently, Zhen Yi has been doing something secretly, and this time he doesn't dare to trust anyone easily.
On the contrary, I asked Zhang Chao to do things secretly from you several times.
Zhang Chao was not his cronies, but was suddenly recruited from the outside.
It was not recommended by others, but by chance, Zhen Yi ran into it.
This can't be Yuan Shao's cronies.
He asked Zhang Chao to sell a lot of assets secretly, and only collected silver coins.
He also had the silver coins exchanged for silver tickets.
It wasn't easy to do, and it took him months to do it slowly.
Because, Zhen Yi behaved naturally and has always supported Yuan Shao.
Now that Yuan Shao is gone, Zhen Yi's status in Jizhou is very high, and few people can do anything to him.
As long as a few strategists around Yuan Shao couldn't find out, others didn't dare to do anything to him.
Even Yuan Shao's son had to respectfully call his uncle when he saw him.
Now, Zhen Yi has secretly sold a lot of family property.
It's not that he doesn't support Yuan Shao, it's that Yuan Shao makes him chill.
In order to stabilize Zhang Ming, Yuan Shao refused to go to Zhang Ming to return to Zhen Mi.
even for the sake of their own reputation, they vaguely indicated to Zhen Yi that they were going to withdraw from the marriage, and then let Zhen Mi go to be Zhang Ming's concubine.
This approach made Zhen Yi really chill, but he was bent on supporting Yuan Shao wholeheartedly, in exchange for such a result, how could he be willing.
In that case, it is better to walk away by yourself.
Zhen Yi was already planning to escape, and his status, except for Yuan Shao, no one could investigate him and interfere with him.
Zhen Yi secretly sold a lot of family property.
The name of this sale is very good, so he said that he would support Yuan Shao in the war.
In this way, who would dare to stop him?
However, Zhen Yi did support Yuan Shao a lot, and the food can't be sold, so send it.
A large amount of grain and grass was sent out, who dared to say anything about Zhen Yi at this time?
It took Zhen Yi a few months to sell most of the family property.
Of course, there are many things that cannot be sold, and several houses in the city, and many valuable belongings in the family cannot be sold, and these are sold, which makes people suspicious.
After selling most of his family property, he was left with more than seven million silver coins.
That's a lot of money.
Although Zhang Ming has tens of millions of silver coins at every turn, he owns a state, and there is also a silver mine in Fusang, and then Zhang Ming's business is bigger than the four major business families combined.
One day, Zhen Yi took a few people out of the city without any baggage.
I went out early that day, and I didn't come back.
He didn't notify anyone and just disappeared.
The Zhen Mansion didn't know either.
Zhen Yi took people and said that they went out to see Zhuangzi outside the city.
No one doubted him, and no one dared to investigate him.
In this way, not long after leaving the city, Zhen Yi changed his clothes, and then followed a caravan and ventured to Youzhou.
