Volume 2 Chapter 73 of the Peak of the Martial Arts
"Yes, Yuan Long knew that he was wrong." Chen Deng bowed down and said to his father, Chen Qi.
Chen Qi was silent and retreated, as if nothing had happened.
Tao Qian thought for a moment and said to Zhen Rong: "In this way, I will give you 50,000 soldiers and horses, and then let Cao Bao and Mi Fang assist you, and order you to resist Cao's army." ”
Di Rong, Cao Bao and Mi Fang respectively bowed their hands and said: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
At the end of the meeting, everyone left with their own concerns.
Mi Zhu returned home and walked around the hall, thinking about today's events repeatedly.
At this moment, his younger brother Mi Fang walked in from outside and said to Mi Zhu, "Big brother, I'm back." ”
When Mi Zhu saw him come in, he hurriedly beckoned to him: "Zifang, come here!" ”
Mi Fang looked puzzled, and asked as she walked, "I don't know if the eldest brother is looking for me?" ”
Mi Zhu looked around vigilantly and waved his hand to signal the servants in the hall to retreat.
The servants exited the hall one after another, and closed the door.
Mi Fang saw that his brother was so mysterious, and he didn't know what he wanted to do?
Seeing that there was no one else in the hall except for the two brothers, Mi Fang asked, "Big brother, what is it that makes you so nervous?" ”
Mi Zhu glanced at Mi Fang and reproached: "What's the matter? Didn't you even notice the big thing when the sky fell? ”
Mi Fang came to his senses and said, "Oh, big brother is talking about Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, right?" Isn't this battle still fought, and even if we lose, it's a big deal to run away......"
Mi Zhu was shocked, and without waiting for Mi Fang to finish speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and whispered: "Shhh, you don't want to die!" If this is heard, it reaches the ears of the lord, not to mention your life, even our entire family will be implicated! ”
Mi Fang nodded, and his brother Mi Zhu let go of his hand.
I saw Mi Fang smile and said: "The eldest brother is really too timid, the lord is so kind, how can he kill people indiscriminately because of some rumors?" If he thinks about that Rong, he doesn't even ask about what he is doing in Xuzhou, let alone a minister like his eldest brother, he won't blame him. ”
Mi Zhu sighed, knowing that what Mi Fang said was the truth, even an honest person like his younger brother didn't take the lord Tao Qian in his eyes, let alone other ambitious people, and said: "Alas, it's better not to say this kind of thing in the future, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
After a pause, Mi Zhu said again: "This time Cao Cao led the army to attack, everyone has their own plans, and the lord is indecisive, I think Xuzhou will not escape, we have to find another way." ”
Mi Fang was a little incredulous: "How can Big Brother be so sure that we will definitely lose?" Although Cao Cao has a large number of troops, our Xuzhou troops add up to at least 100,000, if we fight, we may not lose if we fight at home. ”
Mi Zhu frowned and said: "You, I really don't know the height of the sky, that Cao Cao is a very talented and ambitious hero, compared with our kind and responsible lord, it is like a tiger and a pig, there is a world of difference, not to mention that Cao Cao has many famous generals and fierce generals, and our generals here ......"
"You know what it is!" When Mi Zhu mentioned the generals of Xuzhou, he didn't even want to go on.
Hearing Mi Zhu say this, Mi Fang was also ashamed, he really has no ability to lead troops, the reason why he can become the general of Xuzhou is all based on his brother's relationship, and Cao Bao is also a mediocre talent on par with him, only Zhenrong is still a little brave, but Zhenrong is brave and unscrupulous, and the war is all based on a ruthlessness, if he really encounters a brave army, I don't know if he can still be fierce?
On the other hand, Cao Cao's army, not only is the number of troops many times larger than them, but the generals are all fierce generals who can fight well, and they can be seen at a glance, so when Mi Zhu counted down his younger brother Mi Fang in person, he didn't have the face to refute.
"Then big brother, what are your plans?" Mi Fang asked.
Mi Zhu hesitated for a while and said, "The lord can't keep Xuzhou, we have to find a strong ally to help us resist Cao Cao's attack!" ”
Mi Fang's eyes widened and asked, "Ally? Who to look for? ”
Mi Zhu said: "Kong Rong of Beihai, he is good with the main bus, this time Xuzhou is in trouble, he will not stand idly by, and Gongsun Zan in the north, he has an agreement with us, each other's lips and teeth, his army fights bravely, even Yuan Shao is afraid, if he is willing to send troops, Xuzhou will be saved." ”
Mi Fang said: "Kong Rong is okay to say, but this Gongsun Zhan is so far away from us, even if they are really willing to send troops, far water can't save the near fire, is it too late to come over now?" ”
Mi Zhu said: "This is the key, the outpost has reported that the Cao army is still in Yanzhou, and the speed of the army's march is very slow, and we may be able to invite reinforcements before the Cao army enters Xuzhou." ”
Mi Fang asked: "Then what if Cao Cao arrives in Xuzhou and Gongsun Zhan has not arrived, or will he not come at all?" ”
Mi Zhu looked at his younger brother and said, "Then let's ask for more blessings for ourselves!" ”
Mi Zhu said and walked to the bookcase, picked up the pen to write letters, and after a while, Mi Zhu wrote several letters, and then said to his younger brother Mi Fang: "Let's go, let's go and meet the lord again!" ”
Mi Fang usually obeys his brother's words, and of course he will not object this time, so he followed Mi Zhu to Tao Qian's residence.
