Chapter 182: The Mi Family

The Cao army is now menacing, with hundreds of thousands of troops pressing the border, and there is a certain atmosphere of wind and noise in the whole of Xuzhou.

Tao Qian regrets it now, when he instigated Zhang Min to kill Cao Song, it was because he was defeated by Cao Cao several times in Taishan County, and he was unwilling, so he sprinkled his anger on Cao Song.

He also thought about it in his heart, he thought about it, as long as Cao Song died, even if Cao Cao was angry, as long as he pushed all the qiē to Zhang Min, the remnant of the Yellow Turban, and then cut Zhang Min to death, he could make Cao Cao suffer a dumb loss.

But he didn't expect Zhang Min to run for his life first, and he couldn't find a scapegoat, and Cao Cao's reaction was so big that there was no room for negotiation, so he sent troops to Xuzhou directly without asking questions.

Cao Jun had just defeated Yuan Shu in Runan before, the momentum was like a rainbow, and there was already an intention to invade Xuzhou, and now the troops in Xuzhou are also famous, and more than 100,000 elite troops have been concentrated in Mount Tai and Pengcheng, approaching the East China Sea step by step, and Xiapi.

Tao Qian began to be more and more afraid, Xuzhou is not without elite soldiers, he also has 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, of which tens of thousands of Danyang elite soldiers are elite soldiers and horses, this is the foundation of his rule in Xuzhou, but he knows that with the strength in his hands, facing Cao Cao, it is not enough to see.

Xuzhou has always been a rich place, there is no shortage of food, and there is no shortage of soldiers, but there is a lack of generals who can be alone, and there is no general under his Tao Qian who can take charge alone.

Without generals, there is no backbone, and Cao Cao, who is a general, can't beat Cao Cao.

Cao Jun sent troops, less than ten days, Cao Jun General Ban led the first army, has conquered Guangwei, along Surabaya, until Pengcheng, at the same time, Cao Ren, the vanguard of the Cao army, has also killed his general Lu You, in one fell swoop to break the Taishan defense line, straight into the East China Sea.

In the face of the approaching Cao army day by day, the Xuzhou army was defeated and retreated, because of Cao Song's death, Cao Cao personally went into battle, and the Cao army was united, like a bamboo, and now the entire front has been pushed to Xiapi, which makes the people in Xiapi City panic.

Xuzhou Thorn Mansion, above the lobby, Tao Qian paced back and forth, thinking about it for a long time, and finally decided to listen to a strategist under his command to ask for help from Qingzhou.

At present, only Jiangdong and Qingzhou can come to the rescue of Xuzhou, Jiangdong is too strong, he doesn't like Sun Jian's tiger, and he can't guarantee that the Sun family's army can be sent out.

As long as Qingzhou sends troops, there is still hope for Xuzhou, so he sent one of the most eloquent officials under his direct command to meet Tian Kai and persuade Tian Kai to send troops.

After all, if Xuzhou is attacked by Cao Cao, Qingzhou is also dangerous, and now they are also grasshoppers on a rope.

……

Xiapi City, a luxurious and magnificent mansion in the east of the city, there are two words written on the horizontal tablet, Mi Fu, the owner here is Mi Zhu, Mi Zhu is less than 30 this year, and has already provoked the burden of the Mi family, the first rich merchant in Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu was wearing an official robe, and after coming out of the Assassin's Mansion, his expression was a little tired, Tao Qian wanted to kill Cao Song, he had stopped it, but he didn't succeed.

Now Tao Qian can finally accept his construction and let the people of Qingzhou come to the rescue, and Xuzhou has a glimmer of life.

Qingzhou! There are not many troops, Tian Kai may not have the ability to repel Cao Cao, but Liu Bei under Tian Kai, he once had a relationship, although there are not many soldiers and horses under the command of this person, but they are all elite, and the two righteous brothers are the generals of the tiger and wolf in the world, plus the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, they may not be able to stop Cao Cao.

However, he is still very worried about Xuzhou occupied by Tao Qian, Tao Qian is not the appearance of the hero, if he is prosperous, or a good official, but now in this troubled world, he can't sit still in Xuzhou.

Even if he can defeat Cao Cao and keep Xuzhou this time, he won't be able to keep it for long, and sooner or later Xuzhou will change hands.

"Maybe it's time for So-and-so to vote for another master."

Taking refuge in Tao Qian is a last resort for Mi Zhu, after all, the foundation of the Mi family is now in Xuzhou.

"Back then, in the world of chaos, how could there be a dragon to follow?" Mi Zhu's heart was a little depressed, and he suddenly remembered the situation when he met Liu Bei in the past, this Liu Bei may be a hidden dragon, but he still has to observe and observe.

Mi Zhu pondered while walking, and soon returned to his home, when the old housekeeper in the house greeted him.

"Master, someone from Ju County is here, and he is the second master's entourage, Mi Li." This housekeeper is an old courtier of the Mi family, in his fifties, very steady, he approached and said in a low voice: "He said that he has something important to report to you." ”

"Oh, what is he here for?"

Mi Zhu walked in, and under the service of a few pretty maids, he took off his fat official uniform, put on a hearty civilian clothes, and asked indifferently: "Very important thing?" What important things can I do in Koma County, bring people in for me. ”

"No!" The old butler nodded immediately.

Ju County is the territory of the Mi family, and the entire county government is from the inside to the outside, all of which are people under the command of the Mi family.

The Mi family has always been a wealthy businessman's family in Xuzhou, with a family wealth of more than 100 million, no one can compare, even if the wealth of the family is not comparable to him, but it can not be respected by anyone, and it is discriminated against by the local family.

The status of Shinong industry and commerce, the status of a businessman is destined to be the status of the Mi family, so he has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he is determined to become a scholar. It wasn't until he joined Tao Qian's command and served as a driver that he could get a trace of respect from these families.

Mi Zhu has put the focus of the Mi family in the center of Xuzhou, Xiapi City, but the Mi family is still in his hometown of Ju County, Xia Pi is difficult to protect that day is not easy to master, now the war is in chaos, Ju County is remote, it is safer.

"Mi Li to meet the master." The old housekeeper walked in with a young man, and the young man was a little flustered, but he was very respectful to the master of the Mi family, Mi Zhu, and immediately knelt down and said respectfully.

"Get up!"

Mi Zhu's eyes were sharp, staring at him, and asked, "Zifang sent you here, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Mi Fang is the second eldest of the Mi family, with a good martial nature, and now he is the county lieutenant of Ju County, controlling thousands of county soldiers, plus the servants of the Mi family, controlling thousands of troops.

"Master, what is the specific matter, the second master did not explain, he just asked me to tell you a message, so that you can return to Ju County as soon as possible, and you must not be slack." Mi Li's eyes flickered a little, lowered his head, and said.

"Back to Koma? What do you mean? ”

Mi Zhu had a bad premonition in his heart, his eyes widened, and a sharp light in his eyes stared at Mi Li, and asked coldly: "Is it something that happened at home, you can't hide it in the slightest, say it immediately." ”

"Master, I really can't say so." Mi Li gritted his teeth and said, "If you say it...... The second master and the young lady are in danger of their lives. ”

"What?"

When Mi Zhu heard this, his body stood up suddenly, his eyes were a little shocked, this sentence was enough, his wisdom, thinking about it, he naturally understood, I am afraid that now Mi Fang and the Mi family are in the hands of the enemy.

It's just that he can't figure it out, but in the small Pony County, who can control the Zhanì Mi family?

The richest businessman in Xuzhou of the Mi family is not to say, not to mention the county soldiers of Ju County, but just the servants of the family, with thousands of diners, among which there are many good hands.

"Master, you better return to Ju County quickly, they have already controlled the entire Ju County, the leader said, if you don't go back, they will kill all the Mi family!" Mi Li said in a low voice, the Mi family didn't need to be controlled by an army that suddenly rose up overnight, and those fierce and vicious voices echoed clearly in his ears, if he couldn't return in time, I was afraid that the Mi family would be bleeding.

"So their target is me? Who it is, you will tell me in detail. ”

Mi Zhu took a deep breath, calmed down, and shouted: "So far, you still have something to hide, say, tell me in detail." ”

Mi Li pondered for a moment before gritting his teeth and spitting out three words: "Yuzhou Mountain!" ”

"Pirates?"

When Mi Zhu heard this, he was shocked, he had heard of this group of pirates, but he really couldn't imagine that he had such the courage to provoke the Mi family.

"Their leader is called Xue Zhou." Mi Li whispered.

"Xue Zhou of Yuzhou Mountain?"

Mi Zhu's heart moved, this is a giant thief in Xuzhou, in the seaside area, often go ashore to rob large households, and he has been unable to exterminate it many times.

"Master, this person is fierce and vicious, do you want to mobilize the county soldiers of Donghai County." The old butler next to him looked a little anxious and hurriedly bowed down.

"No, now Xuzhou is a critical moment, if you ask for help from the county soldiers of Donghai County, Cao Jun is going to drive straight in, you go to prepare for me immediately, and you have to return to Ju County." What I know is the people of Yuzhou Mountain, Mi Zhu is not in a hurry, the people of Yuzhou Mountain are just asking for wealth and food.

At this time, the atmosphere in Xiapi City was very tense, and he should not leave as a Xuzhou assassin, but Xuzhou and the Mi family, in his heart, the Mi family is more important, and he can't watch the people of the Mi family being wiped out.

………………

Mi Zhu was escorted by the five hundred servants of the Mi family, and left Xiapi City in a hurry, and returned to Ju County, as soon as he entered Ju County, something was wrong, although the entire county was the same as usual, calm and quiet, and there was no trace of a battle.

It's just that in peacetime, all the county soldiers at the city gate have been replaced.

Although Mi Zhu didn't know the county soldiers of Ju County, these people standing guard at the city gate were obviously different, this kind of absolute elite soldiers, he was in Xuzhou, and he only saw soldiers with this temperament in Tao Qian's Danyang elite soldiers.

The old house of the Mi family is in the west of Juxian County, covering a huge area, nine in and nine out, extremely luxurious, and now it has been surrounded by layers of soldiers inside and out.

When Mi Zhu saw this situation, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, no, Yuzhou Mountain is just a group of pirates, it is impossible to have such elite soldiers, who are these?

"Don't drive, please here!"

Before the mansion, a young man had been waiting for a long time, Mi Zhu had a fire in his heart, and returned to his home, and it was a big joke that strangers invited him in.

However, Mi Zhu still held his breath, with the youth, walked into the mansion, here has been three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, above the Mi family lobby, a young man with a tiger's back and a bear waist sat on the left side, it was his younger brother Mi Fang, and sitting on the right was a middle-aged man, this man was obviously suffering from the sea breeze for many years, his skin was rough, his eyes were fierce, and he was obviously the leader of the pirates, Xue Zhou.

And sitting at the front was a childish man with a somewhat naïve face, not very old, at most fifteen years old, but this young man had a calm momentum that made his heart palpitate.

"Big brother!"

Seeing the person coming, Mi Fang immediately stood up, looked at Mi Zhu, and shouted loudly.

"Sit down!"

Xue Zhou's eyes widened, a fierce aura burst out, and he drank coldly, Mi Fang was shocked in his heart, and sat down safely.

"A certain Mizhu, I don't know how to call a few people?" Mi Zhu strode in, ignoring his younger brother, looked at the other people, and asked.

"You are Mi Zhu, Mi Zizhong."

The young man sitting above was Sun Quan, he stood up, his eyes stared at this calm young man, and a faint green light burst out.

Xue Zhou and Lei Ding united, thousands of troops, it is too easy to control the Ju County and the Mi family a few days ago, but unfortunately Mi Zhu is not at home, Sun Quan naturally will not let Mi Zhu go like this, so he sent someone to invite Mi Zhu back from Xiapi with the safety of the Mi family.

This Mi Zhu is still quite family-friendly, and the effect is very good.

Sun Quan's eyes carefully took a large number of glances at this graceful and generous young man, and his heart moved slightly, the evaluation of Mi Zhu in history is not low!

In Xuzhou, he was already optimistic about Liu Bei, not only marrying his sister to Liu Bei, but also pouring all his family wealth to achieve Liu Bei's hegemony, and still not leaving Liu Bei when he was most down, running around for him, he was definitely an honest gentleman from the beginning.

It's a pity that Liu Bei did achieve hegemony, but the Mi family still didn't have a good end in the end, Mrs. Mi died, Mi Fang reversed, and he himself died depressed.

"You are?"

Mi Zhu raised his head, looked at Sun Quan's eyes with a dead gaze, and his heart moved slightly, a little shocked, he had already guessed three points.

"Jiangdong Sun Quan, Sun Zhongmou!"

Sun Quan smiled indifferently, Jiangdong's blue eyes are too famous, he has a pair of amber and crystal eyes, only by taking a closer look, you can understand his identity.
