Chapter 35: Rifts

Tancheng, Taishoufu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the hall, the deathly silence, only the sound of "whoosh" can be heard, and the wisps echo in the hall, and the piercing sound makes everyone standing in front of the hall have a creepy illusion.

Guan Yu on the first seat, a bare face as gloomy as iron, half-open and half-closed Danfeng's eyes revealed a moody gaze, and a silk book was slowly torn apart in his hand.

The silk book is the latest information delivered, recording how the pottery merchant defeated Zang Ba, killed Taishan Kou, and how he entered Kaiyang City with high momentum, becoming a veritable Lang evil country.

"Mi Beijia, is this your good plan?" Guan Yu threw the fragment in his hand to the front of the hall, and his angry gaze shot at Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu soaked a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhu really can't figure it out, the potter has obviously been out of food for many days, why can he still be in the army, and he can fight with Zang Ba, and a veteran named Lian Po suddenly appeared in his army, and his force is actually above Zang Ba, this is really ......"

"Let's not talk about the person named Lian Po, as for why the pottery merchant is not in turmoil, Mi Beijia should be very clear." Sun Qian interrupted him and asked with a sneer.

Mi Zhu was stunned for a moment, and said blankly: "What does Sun mean by this, I don't understand?" ”

"So far, there is nothing Mi Beijia that he dare not admit." Sun Qian's smile concealed sarcasm, "The reason why the pottery merchant is not in a state of disarray is because Ling Mei secretly subsidized grain and grass for him." ”

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu's bare face sank, and he glared at Mi Zhu angrily.

Mi Zhu was also taken aback, and said hurriedly: "How is this possible, how can my Mi family secretly fund the pottery merchant's grain and grass, Sun Zhi, you are so bloody that you will spew people." ”

Sun Qian turned to Guan Yu and said: "The stakes are very high, how dare Xia Guan say anything, when Kaiyang fell that day, Xia Guan hid in the crowd, and saw that Miss Mi and the pottery merchant entered the city side by side, the two of them were still talking and laughing, Xia Guan was willing to guarantee with his life, and he was not mistaken." ”

Sun Qian vouched for his life, how could Guan Yu not believe it, Danfeng's eyes widened in an instant, and he shouted angrily: "Mi Zhu, you are so bold, you dare to secretly communicate with the pottery merchant and subsidize the grain and grass for him, do you want to do the opposite!" ”

"General Yun Chang is angry, Zhu is loyal to Xuande Gong, if he has a little bit of his thoughts, Zhu is willing to be thundered by the sky." Mi Zhu was as pale as paper by Hede, and he hurriedly swore a poisonous oath to show his loyalty.

Guan Yu's anger eased slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Since you have no objection, why did your sister appear in Kaiyang City, and how do you explain that the Tao Shang army is not disturbed?" ”

"This ......" Mi Zhu's thoughts flew, embarrassed for a moment, and hurriedly said: "My second brother disappeared at sea a while ago, his life and death are unknown, maybe he was captured by the pottery merchant, and now he uses his life to threaten the little sister, and the little sister has to send him grain and grass as a last resort, and he also went to Kaiyang to save the second brother, there should be only this reason, in addition, I really can't think of any other reason." ”

Guan Yu said coldly: "Do you think that Ben will believe your far-fetched reason?" ”

"I believe it!"

A clear voice sounded, and everyone looked back, only to see a middle-aged man with a pale face and a kind smile, calmly entering the hall, followed by the young and elegant scribe.

"Why did my brother come to Tancheng suddenly?" Guan Yu's angry face suddenly retracted, and he hurriedly went down the steps to greet him.

Mi Zhu and Sun Qian's faces also changed, and they hurriedly bowed their hands to salute, saying "Meet the lord".

"Yun Chang, you have worked hard to guard Tancheng." Liu Bei patted Guan Yu on the shoulder, then turned his eyes to Mi Zhu, and said with a friendly smile: "Zizhong, you and I are gallant, no matter what happens, my Liu Bei's trust in you will not change, I believe that what Ling Mei has done is just a last resort, and the agreement between you and me will not change, I am still waiting to be a relative with Zizhong." ”

Obviously, Liu Bei had heard their conversation outside the hall, and instead of doubting Mi Zhu's loyalty, he comforted him greatly.

Mi Zhu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his eyes were filled with tears of emotion, and he choked up: "Thank you for your trust, rest assured, Zhu will cancel the marriage contract between the little sister and the pottery merchant as soon as possible, so that the lord can marry the little sister justifiably." ”

"Don't worry, let go of the marriage in advance." Liu Bei stroked Mi Zhu's shoulder and said: "At present, there is information from Huainan, Yuan Shu is mobilizing troops and horses, intending to invade Xuzhou in the north, I will personally lead the army south to Huaishui to resist the enemy, and Zi Zhongsu needs to go to raise grain and grass, and go south with me to resist Yuan Shu's invasion." ”

"My subordinates will do it." Mi Zhu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and hurriedly retreated.

As soon as Mi Zhu walked on the front foot, Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Brother, even if the Mi family does not have the intention to subsidize the potter, but now that Mi Fang has fallen into the hands of the potter, the Mi family will inevitably throw a rat into the trap, how can my brother still trust him so much." ”

Liu Bei didn't answer, only patted Guan Yu on the shoulder.

"Although the potters have made Lang evil, after all, the strength is weak, now our biggest enemy is Yuan Shu, the Mi family is known as the 'Xuzhou granary', now the army is on the march, how can we get the support of the Mi family." The young scribe behind him explained for Liu Bei.

Guan Yu suddenly realized.

Liu Bei saw that he understood, Fang said: "This battle is the first battle for my brother to become the queen of Xuzhou, there must be no loss, I will take Yide as the vanguard, do the troops of Xuzhou to the south, and then Chen Yuanlong will come to guard Xiapi, guard against Xiaopei's Lu Bu, Yun Chang, you sit in Tancheng, and prevent pottery merchants." ”

Guan Yu looked at the young scribe named Chen Deng, and did not expect that his brother would trust him so much, so he ordered Chen Deng to go to Shouzhou to rule Pi.

"Brother, why don't you raise a large army to go north now, wipe out the pottery merchants in one fell swoop, get rid of this hidden danger, and then the foolish brother will guard Xiapi for the elder brother, and the elder brother can draw more troops to the south, and there can also be Chen Yuanlong, a strategist, to accompany the army to participate in the discussion."

Guan Yu put forward a new suggestion, obviously not worrying about Chen Deng's guard, and even more eager to get rid of the thorn in the potter's side.

Liu Bei said: "At present, the potters have made great contributions, and now they use troops against him, it is inevitable that they will lose the hearts of the people, and at this juncture, it is not good for the overall situation, not to mention ......."

As soon as the conversation changed, Liu Bei looked at Chen Deng, "Yuan Long has offered me a clever plan, which can not only make a powerful ally, but also get rid of the hidden danger of the potter." ”

Coup?

Guan Yuhu looked at Chen Deng suspiciously, and on that young and elegant face, there was confidence, but there was a bit of a secret smile.

Guan Yu did not hide his suspicions, with such an expression, obviously not believing that the eldest son of the Chen family, the three major families in Xuzhou, this young strategist, would have a better strategy than Mi Zhu.

Chen Deng smiled confidently, and said in a playful tone: "General Yun Chang, don't worry, maybe, when the lord returns triumphantly, someone has already helped us get rid of the hidden danger of the potter." ”
