After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Mi Zhu said the purpose of inviting Yuan Chang to come.

"Yuan Taishou, Zhu has a request, and I hope Yuan Taishou can agree. During the military parade, he saw that Yuan Taishou's soldiers were all well-dressed, so Zhu wanted to buy some and hoped that Yuan Taishou would agree. ”

The Mi family has more than 10,000 diners, and if they can all wear the equipment built by Bohai County, their strength will inevitably rise to a higher level. In that case, the safety of the Mi family in Xuzhou will be more guaranteed. As for money, the Mi family is not short at all, even if it builds an elite cavalry of 10,000 people, it is just a drizzle for the Mi family.

Yuan Chang put down the wine cup, smiled slightly, and did not answer Mi Zhu's question, but asked rhetorically: "Mi Beijia, in your opinion, why do you think Ben Taishou should show such sophisticated equipment?"

"Since Yuan Taishou asked your question, Zhu will tell me his opinion. ”

Mi Zhu calmed down and smiled faintly: "These sophisticated equipment will go to the battlefield sooner or later, and sooner or later they will be discovered." Since this is the case, Yuan Taishou will take it out first, and he can hand over the Taishou of other counties. Secondly, according to Zhu's guess, the equipment sold by Yuan Taishou will be slightly worse than the equipment used in the parade, if the enemy does not know, use these equipment to fight against Yuan Taishou's soldiers, but will fall into a disadvantageous situation, and Yuan Taishou can also take this opportunity to earn some military spending, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. I wonder if what Zhu said is wrong?"

Yuan Chang nodded first, then shook his head again, and when Mi Zhu was puzzled, Yuan Chang opened his mouth and said: "Mi Beijia's first point is right, these equipment will be known sooner or later." Now take it out and hand over to the Taishou of other counties, and it is true. However, the second point of Mi Beijia is wrong. ”

"I don't know where I said it wrong. I hope Yuan Taishou will advise!"

"Mi Bei should know that even if the equipment that Ben Taishou sells to other county guards will be a little worse than the real equipment. However, compared with the equipment used in the past, it is also several times more sophisticated? Moreover, the equipment is only an auxiliary tool, and the real strength is the soldier himself. As for using this to earn military spending, Ben Taishou never thought about it. Mi Beijia also knows. Ben Taishou and my brother Yuan Benchu jointly sent troops to attack Youzhou, and the Taishou of other counties were under the jurisdiction of my brother, and they purchased equipment from Ben Taishou. Strengthen the combat power of the soldiers, and I will also be sent to the battlefield in Youzhou by my brother. In this way, my brother's combat power is enhanced, and at the same time, some of my brother's expenses can be saved. This is the true purpose of Ben Taishou. ”

"I see!"

Mi Zhu was suddenly stunned. It turned out that Yuan Chang had long expected that Yuan Shao would agree to jointly send troops to attack Youzhou. Therefore, Yuan Chang took the opportunity to reveal the new equipment, so that those who were too shou to buy, so that Yuan Shao would pay less money for the acquisition of equipment. Although it is said that the Taishou of those counties are under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shao, but the assassins of a state like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are only controlled power, not that they really control them. Unless the governors of these counties are all men and horses arranged by them. Just like the Cui family in Anping County and the Cui family in Qinghe County, could they be completely subordinate to Yuan Shao? This is impossible. Of course. If the Assassin wants to recruit them, they still have to send soldiers to meaning, meaning, otherwise, it will not be beneficial for them to tear their faces with the Assassin. Just like Yuan Chang sold the equipment to them, the condition was that they would follow Yuan Shao on the expedition, otherwise there would be no negotiation. As the so-called short-handedness, they want the equipment built by Bohai County so much, so they must agree to Yuan Chang's conditions, unless they don't want such sophisticated equipment. However, if they do not have such sophisticated equipment, and someone else has it, it is extremely disadvantageous for them. Therefore, they must also promise Yuan Chang. Even if you don't send all the troops, you have to send at least half of them.

Yuan Chang worked so hard to help Yuan Shao pull troops, naturally he was also selfish, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were more, Yuan Chang's troops could be reduced and lost a lot, and his strength could be hidden.

Regarding Yuan Chang's statement that he was helping Yuan Shao, Mi Zhu did not doubt it. No matter what Yuan Chang says, he is still a member of the Yuan family, and he and Yuan Shao are also brothers, so it is normal to make some efforts.

"So, Ben Taishou has no intention of selling. Sold to these Taishou because they are all people from Jizhou, and the increase in their strength is the increase in Jizhou, that is, the increase in my brother's strength. However, if it is sold to the forces of other states, once something goes wrong, these equipment will become equipment against our Jizhou, which will be unfavorable to our Jizhou. Therefore, I hope you can understand. Of course, for his own people, Ben Taishou has never been stingy!"

Yuan Chang's last sentence was very clear, the solicitation of red fruits.

If before, after Mi Zhu knew about Yuan Chang's deeds, he would definitely choose to serve Yuan Chang without hesitation. However, when Mi Zhu saw Liu Bei in Beihai County, he also had a good impression. Now, Mi Zhu hesitated on the issue of taking refuge in Yuan Chang and Liu Bei, so it was difficult to answer Yuan Chang's words for a while.

Regarding Mi Zhu's hesitation, Yuan Chang naturally understood what the reason was. At that moment, Yuan Chang smiled slightly, revealing a penetrating expression and said: "Mi Beijia, are you thinking about who is more suitable for you to serve between Liu Xuande and Ben Taishou, yes or no?"

Mi Zhu was shocked when he heard this, and stood up from his seat, his eyes widened, and he looked at Yuan Chang in disbelief, with a hellish expression. You must know that Mi Zhu has the idea of serving Liu Bei, but he has never told others, even his younger brother Mi Fang. It can be said that this matter has only been thought about in Mi Zhu's heart, and no one else will know about it, but why would Yuan Chang know? Mi Zhu knows very well that once his idea of taking refuge in others is exposed, it will be very dangerous to their Mi family.

Tao Qian of Xuzhou, as well as other big families, are eyeing the Mi family. Originally, the Mi family was still in Xuzhou, and Tao Qian could still receive military funding from the Mi family, plus Mi Zhu's benevolent name in Xuzhou, Tao Qian did not dare to touch the Mi family. However, once the news that Mi Zhu was going to join other forces was known to Tao Qian, could Tao Qian still be able to remain calm and not do it directly? That was impossible, Tao Qian would probably not care about anything else at that time, and he would not let the Mi family's billions of money be cheaper than others.

Therefore, Mi Zhu has always been very cautious about this matter, but. How did Yuan Chang know? Moreover, even if he guessed that Mi Zhu wanted to take refuge in others, it was impossible to guess Liu Bei. Liu Bei is now just a plain minister, with no troops and no territory. Compared with big names like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the current Liu Bei is a scumbag. In this regard, Mi Zhu did not hide the doubts in his heart.

Yuan Chang waved his hand with a smile on his face and an unpredictable expression. Said calmly: "Mi Beijia, there is no need to be so surprised! Mi Beijia has the manpower to inquire about the news, how could Ben Taishou not have it? Ben Taishou had already discovered that Liu Bei was by no means ordinary. Liu Bei, the brother of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who is two enemies of 10,000 people, is even more active among the larger forces, from this point of view, Liu Bei is by no means a person who is willing to be plain. Sooner or later, it will be a blockbuster. Therefore. Ben Taishou had already arranged for people to watch Liu Bei's every move. When he was in Bohai County, Mi Beijia met with Liu Bei and had a very happy conversation, and the matter had been reported to Ben Taishou. Therefore, Ben Taishou was able to guess Mi Bei's thoughts. ”

It is true that Yuan Chang did have spies under him, but where did he send someone to keep an eye on Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei is the lord of Shu Han, at this time. Liu Bei is not worth paying too much attention to. Therefore, what Yuan often said was actually in accordance with the progress of history. But. You have to give Mi Zhu a reason.

"I see, Yuan Taishou is far-sighted, and it is very difficult for people to understand. ”

Mi Zhu listened to Yuan Chang's words, and then calmed down a little. However, for Yuan Chang's words, Mi Zhu still has some reservations. It's not that Mi Zhu doesn't believe Yuan Chang's words, but Mi Zhu believes Yuan Chang's words too much, so Mi Zhu has doubts, how could Yuan Chang tell himself such a detailed situation? He is not Yuan Chang's subordinate? It is precisely because of this doubt that Mi Zhu did not fully believe Yuan Chang's explanation, but Yuan Chang didn't know, he said too much, but Mi Zhu had doubts. Of course, Mi Zhu had doubts, and he would never have thought that Yuan Chang came because of the crossing, so he knew everything about him.

"Where, where! Don't overdo it, it's just a matter of worrying about the sky. ”

Mi Zhu's face suddenly became serious, and he said to Yuan Chang seriously: "What Yuan Taishou said is good, Zhu is thinking about whether to serve Liu Pingyuan or Yuan Taishou. Since Yuan Taishou said it so directly, I think there is already an opinion, can Yuan Taishou give Zhu an idea?"

Mi Zhu is cunning, since you Yuan Chang have guessed my thoughts, then I will throw the problem to you, and see who you choose for me.

Yuan Chang didn't think this was a problem, smiled slightly, and said confidently: "If Ben Taishou is a don't drive, he will naturally choose Ben Taishou, and there will definitely be no hesitation!"

"Hehe, Yuan Taishou is confident, I wonder if Yuan Taishou can explain the reason to Zhu in detail?"

Yuan Chang was not embarrassed at all, as a traverser, and with such a strong foundation, compared to Liu Bei, who is now running around, if Yuan Chang is not confident, he can find a piece of tofu and kill him.

"Mi Beijia wants to hear the reason, and this is as it should be. First of all, there may be two reasons why Mi Beijia chooses a force to take refuge. The first is for self-preservation, and the second is for making meritorious contributions. Let's talk about the first reason first, the problem of self-preservation! As far as Ben Taishou knows, now Tao Qian is old and mediocre, and he covets your Mi family's billions of family wealth, but because of Mi Bei's benevolent name in Xuzhou, Tao Qian does not dare to do it. However, once Tao Qian finds an opportunity, he will definitely not show mercy, is what Ben Taishou said true?"

Mi Zhu nodded and agreed: "Yuan Taishou is right, that's exactly the case! A few days ago, Zifang and Xiaomei went to Beihai County to ask for help, and Tao Qian's evil thief colluded with the Yellow Turban Thief Guan Hai to attack Beihai County, intending to capture Zifang and Xiaomei to blackmail Yu Zhu. Fortunately, Taishi Ziyi appeared, asked for reinforcements, and relieved the siege of Beihai County, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Yuan Chang suddenly didn't expect Guan Hai to attack Bohai County for this reason.

History and romance record that Guan Hai attacked Bohai County in order to find Kong Rong to borrow grain, this reason is very nonsense, a thief to go to the officers and soldiers to borrow grain, who would believe it? Moreover, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was 10,000 stones, and you must know that 10,000 stones is 600,000 catties, and so much grain can feed the people of many counties. As long as anyone with a little bit of brains can think that Guan Hai must have another purpose. As for the occupation of Beihai County, this is even more impossible, and it is even more nonsense than borrowing grain. The situation of the Yellow Turban Thieves is extremely bad now, not only is they not treated by the imperial court, but even those bandits and bandits who are also thieves look down on these Yellow Turban Thieves. So, in such a situation. How could Guan Hai go to attack the city and plunder the land? Having a city is a burden for them, so it is better to hide in the mountains and once the officers and soldiers come to encircle and suppress them. They went straight into the mountains and forests, and who could find them? Therefore, there must be a reason why Guan Hai attacked Beihai County. As for what the reason is, no one knows, and Guan Hai is just a wave in the wheel of history, and not many people will care. Therefore, it is natural that no one will delve into it. Yuan Chang didn't expect a conversation with Mi Zhu. But it solved a mystery.

"As Mi Beijia said, Tao Qian has already attacked your Mi family. Therefore, the current situation is very bad, and it is imperative to take refuge in others. And now there are two candidates for Mi Bei to take refuge. One is Ben Taishou. The other is Liu Pingyuan. Since Mi Beijia took Ben Taishou into account, he obviously already had a considerable understanding of Ben Taishou, and Ben Taishou did not boast. And Mi Beijia also considers Liu Pingyuan, there must be a reason for Mi Beijia to drive you. Mi Beijia defected to one party's forces, naturally in order to protect the Mi family from being violated, so the candidate for Mi Beijia must be a benevolent and righteous master. In this way, you will not covet your Mi family's wealth like Tao Qian. Don't drive, I don't know if what Ben Taishou said is wrong?"

"Not bad. What Yuan Taishou said is that the object of Zhu's refuge must not be unfavorable to my Mi family. Among the characters Zhu has seen, only Yuan Taishou and Liu Pingyuan meet this requirement. ”

Yuan Chang listened to Mi Zhu's words, but shook his head with a smile, and said very directly: "If Mi Beijia is really based on this consideration, then Ben Taishou can only say that you have taken Liu Pingyuan into account, and can only say that you are very wrong! Taking refuge in Liu Pingyuan is not only not a good thing, but a bad thing." ”

Mi Zhu frowned, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by Yuan Taishou's words?"

"Mi Beijia considers Liu Pingyuan because of Liu Pingyuan's name of benevolence and righteousness. However, does Mi Beijia know that Liu Pingyuan's name of benevolence and righteousness is nothing but false, and it is all displayed by him?

When Mi Zhu heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "Yuan Taishou, Zhu respects you as a person, but he doesn't want Yuan Taishou to talk about right and wrong behind others' backs, how can this be done by a gentleman? If Yuan Taishou is like this, Zhu thinks that there is no need to continue talking." ”

"Don't worry, since Ben Taishou said this, how can it be nonsense, there is no evidence, how can Ben Taishou say it?"

Yuan Chang said unhurriedly, but Mi Zhu's face was still not very good-looking, and he had a straight face, but he wanted to hear what evidence Yuan Chang had.

"Have you heard of Liu Pingyuan's brother Zhang Yide's angry whipping of the post?"

"I have heard a little about this matter, and it is rumored that the governor is greedy and blatantly asks Liu Pingyuan for bribes, otherwise he will sue Liu Pingyuan for incompetence, so as not to go to Liu Pingyuan's official position. Later, when the people went to plead for mercy, they were whipped by the superintendent, and when Zhang Yide heard about this, he went to the superintendent's residence and tied up the superintendent and whipped him.

Yuan Chang was not annoyed by Mi Zhu's attitude, and asked unhurriedly: "Mi Beijia, you also said it before, you know it from hearsay." So, has Mi Beijia personally verified and learned the details?"

Mi Zhu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said puzzledly: "What does Yuan Taishou mean by this, could it be that there is a discrepancy?"

"Naturally, and it's very different!"

Yuan Chang nodded, and said loudly: "Since I met Liu Xuande in the Tiger Prison Pass, and knew that he was by no means a person who was willing to be mediocre, Ben Taishou had already investigated in depth. Regarding the matter of Zhang Yide's angry whipping and supervising the post, this is not the case. At the beginning, Liu Xuande's three brothers had a meritorious crusade against the Yellow Turban thieves, and Lu Zhonglang would ask for credit for Liu Xuande, Liu Bei thought that he would be made a marquis, but who knew that he only served as the county lieutenant of Yongning County later, so Liu Xuande was quite resentful in his heart. Later, the superintendent asked Liu Xuande for a bribe on the order of the imperial court, but Liu Xuande was already dissatisfied in his heart, so how could he give a bribe to the superintendent? Therefore, Liu Xuande led his troops to rush into the superintendent's residence, tied him up, whipped him more than 200 times, and then abandoned his official position. The person who really did it was Liu Xuande, why did it be Zhang Yide's hand that was rumored to be the hand of others? Later, Ben Taishou asked people to carefully investigate and find out that it turned out that Liu Xuande ordered his subordinates to spread all this, in order to publicize his benevolence and righteousness. ”

Mi Zhu's eyes widened again, as if he couldn't believe what Yuan Chang said. However, Yuan Chang didn't wait for Mi Zhu to speak, and continued to speak.

Subsequently, Liu Xuande abandoned his official position and fled to Liu Hui in Daizhou. Liu Xuande hid other people's territories, but he couldn't keep to himself, under the pretext of helping Liu Hui deal with affairs, but in fact, the real purpose was to buy people's hearts. Mi Bei also has investigators under his command, and a careful investigation of Liu Xuande's experience can be found that every time Liu Xuande took refuge in others, he never settled down, and everything he did was for himself. If such a character is not expressed in false benevolence and false righteousness, what words can explain it?"

Listening to Yuan Chang's words, Mi Zhu felt that his brain was "buzzing" non-stop, and he seemed to be unable to react.

In fact, Yuan Chang's words are a little subconsciously hinted at Mi Zhu. As the so-called three people become tigers, it was originally an ordinary thing, but after rumors from many people, it may become uncommon or even very different from the original facts. Yuan often told Mi Zhu about Liu Bei, and this method was used.

Usually, when everyone sees Liu Bei's behavior, their first reaction is that they think that this guy is a benevolent and righteous person, and they will have no other ideas. But as soon as someone tells you that this guy is acting for another purpose, then the seeds of doubt are planted in your heart. Just like Mi Zhu, he originally thought that Liu Bei was a benevolent and righteous person. However, now that he listens to Yuan Chang's words, he will send his subordinates to investigate Liu Bei's past deeds, and it stands to reason that Liu Bei has done nothing. However, Mi Zhu now has the seeds of doubt in his heart, and comparing Liu Bei's behavior will be compared with another result. In this way, even if Liu Bei is really a benevolent and righteous person, he will become a fake benevolent and righteous person. What's more, Liu Bei is really not a benevolent guy in fact. Of course, there are also people who disagree, thinking that Liu Bei is a true and righteous gentleman, as for this, it is the benevolence of the benevolent and the wise of the wise!

"Yuan Taishou, Zhu can't react a little, and let Zhu think about it, I hope Yuan Taishou won't blame!"

Mi Zhu felt that the amount of information was a bit large, and he needed to think about it. At that moment, after pleading guilty to Yuan Chang, he buried his head in contemplation. And Yuan Chang, a wicked smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and then he returned to his nature, like a nobody, and continued to drink fine wine.
