"Why did the lord insist on visiting that Mi Zhu?" Returning to the city and straddle the horse, Gan Ning said with some puzzlement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The previous fight with Cao Hong seemed to have no effect on him, and Cao Hong had a few more scars on his body, and he was so good that he didn't even have a knife mark on his armor. Of course, this can be regarded as an indirect proof of Zhao Yun's words, when it comes to martial arts, Gan Ning is indeed more than a step stronger than Cao Hong.

If it weren't for Cao Hong's use of life-threatening means, Gan Ning would not want to be injured on this person, but he was afraid that Cao Hong's results would not be optimistic.

However, after returning to the formation, looking at the scene where Yan Shao and Na Mi Zhu had a good conversation, Gan Ning still didn't understand a little.

Yan Shao did not answer Gan Ning's words directly, but smiled and said. "Every family that has been established for more than three hundred years has a very strong heritage, but those who can mix and have a huge influence in a state usually have their own areas of expertise, so what do you say the Mi family is good at?"

"This..."Gan Ning was dumbfounded for a while, you must know that he is from Yizhou. Later, because he was dissatisfied with the comfortable situation in Yizhou, he ran to Jingzhou, on the one hand, to make a living, and on the other hand, to satisfy his pursuit of adventure. As for Xuzhou, to be honest, he really doesn't know much about it, if it weren't for the fact that there are sometimes Mi family caravans passing by on the Yangtze River, I'm afraid he doesn't even know what the Mi family does. "I've only heard that the people in the Mi family are quite rich..."

This time, without waiting for Yan Shao to answer, Li Ru, who had been following beside him, had already spoken. "Yes, this is what the lord does, the Mi family is the most wealthy family in Xuzhou. has more than 100 million family assets, which is why even Tao Gongzu needs the support of the Mi family. At present, Qingzhou is in ruins, although there are tens of thousands of male troops, if there is not enough money and food, it will not work, if the lord can seek the support of the Mi family, wouldn't it..."

Unlike later generations, it is definitely not a lie that the rich and rival the country in this era are not false.

The Mi family's wealth may not be comparable to that of a country, at least it is much stronger than an empty official treasury. If you can find the support of the Mi family, it will also be a huge advantage for Yan Shao's hegemony.

He is not worried that Mi Zhu will refuse, after all, he is not trying to empty the Mi family, but intends to adopt a cooperative way of mutual benefit and reciprocity, which is also the way that Yan Shao admires the most.

The efficiency of directly copying the house is really high, but it is equivalent to killing chickens and taking eggs, which is not as effective as the long flow of water—————— of course, this is also necessary to look at the time, if it is really a last resort, there is no way to kill chickens and take eggs, right?

Gan Ning is not a businessman, and he doesn't know those calculating things, but he understands the importance of money and food. Did the eight hundred sail thieves follow him because they worship Gan Ning? I'm afraid that it may not be, most of them are because there is meat to eat and drink by Gan Ning's side, if there is no such thing one day, I am afraid that most of the Jinfan thieves on the river will be dispersed in an instant, just like any soldier and horse in the world today.

But...

Li Ru explained all this for Gan Ning, but Gan Ning didn't appreciate it very much.

Whether it is Gan Ning or the other generals under Yan Shao's account, Gan Ning's senses are not particularly good, and they feel that this person's behavior is too weird, and now they are like that, and they are not very cold in their hearts.

Wen Yan only hummed lightly and didn't say anything.

Li Ru didn't say anything in his eyes, now he was only thinking about revenge, as for how the generals under Yan Shao's account looked at him, he really didn't care much about this. As long as these people can help him take revenge, he can bear everything under this premise, not to mention that now Gan Ning and the others are just not very polite to him, and nothing else...

Yan Shao saw the matter between Gan Ning and Li Ru, but he didn't have the slightest intention of mediating, he just smiled slightly.

"Therefore, it is better to be respectful to our rich men in the future..."

Yes, it's not easy to find a rich man like this, at least as Yan Shao knows, the one who can be rich like the Mi family is just a Zhen family in Hebei.

Now Hebei is not in Yan Shao's hands, but the Mi family is close at hand, it would be a pity if Yan Shao didn't take me well. Yan Shao believes that the people of the Mi family will also be happy to accept the olive branch he throws out. In this troubled world, no one knows when what kind of changes will occur, not to mention Tao Qian's ability, even his age cannot shelter Xuzhou for too long. It's always good to have a way out at that point.

—————————— Dividing Line————————————

Gan Ning doesn't know so many ways, but Yan Shao treats him like a national soldier, and he is willing to repay him with death, which is also Gan Ning's character. In the past, when he was in Yizhou, those local heroes or people in the government, if they were willing to treat each other politely, he would be willing to return the same, but if the other party dared to despise him...

Then don't blame him for robbing his mother...

At the same time, after Mi Zhu and Mi Fang returned home in the Mi family's mansion, Mi Fang also asked a little strangely. "How did my brother really invite that Yan Shao to our house?"

Mi Zhu smiled helplessly, "How is this an invitation, it is someone who took the initiative to ask to visit, now he is the lord of Qingzhou and the savior of Xuzhou, we have to rely on him, how can I refuse?" ”

Besides, why refuse?

Mi Zhu also has his own thoughts, he is certainly a loyal person, if he has an object of allegiance, he will try his best to repay the service no matter what. But is Tao Qian really the object of his allegiance? I'm afraid it may not be...

He will serve under Tao Qian's account, just to want to benefit the Mi family.

Even if he will serve Tao Qian, it is because Tao Qian's state pastor was canonized by the imperial court. Considering the issue of tenure, Tao Qian should have abdicated a few years ago to make way for Xian, that is, now the world is in chaos, and the imperial court is too busy to take care of itself and can't control Xuzhou at all, otherwise who in Xuzhou will work hard for Tao Qian? At least Mi Zhu can't...

Now that there is chaos today, the rich side of the Mi family has become meat in the eyes of many people. In the future, Tao Qian will die, and Xuzhou will have no one to shelter, and there will be chaos in an instant. At this time, Mi Zhu had to think more and seek a way out for himself.

And Yan Shao is a good way out, although Qingzhou is some distance from Xuzhou, but it is not far away, this Yan Shao is also a generation of heroes, with tens of thousands of male troops under his command. The governance within the territory cannot be said to be a paradise on earth, but it is much stronger than many places in the world today. Especially in Beihai County, even Mi Zhu has heard of the situation there...

Either way, it's a good choice...

But...

"Where's the little sister? She didn't mess around while I was outside, was she? ”

The most important thing right now is this sister who gives him the most headache...

"Little sister..."Mi Fang didn't know very well. I don't know, I'm out of the city with you, how can I know what's going on at home. But after what happened last time, those two guards should also be more conscientious, so they won't let the little sister run out..."

Or, if those two people are letting Mi Zhen and a weak woman run out, then there is no need to keep these two rice buckets—————— even a little woman can't look at it, let alone die for the master's family in the future, even the care home is not enough...

Such a person? What's the use of keeping it?

Mi Zhu nodded, feeling that Mi Fang's words were not unreasonable.

The biggest headache for her right now is this little sister, who has been spoiled and lawless since she was a child. In the past, there were many troubles in the city, but this time it was even more excessive, and he actually put on a suit of armor and ran to the city wall in the case of a war. If it weren't for the fact that a soldier in the family recognized her, Mi Zhu didn't even dare to imagine what would happen.

"When this incident is over, let's find a good family to marry her in the city..."

Although it will hurt my brother-in-law, it is also a last resort.

As for whether her sister can find such a family, Mi Zhu is not worried at all. How does his sister look like Mi Zhu and is not blind, how can she not see it.

Usually, if it weren't for the high enough door fence of their own house, the people who proposed the relatives would have to step on the door, plus a large amount of dowry from themselves, I am afraid that all the people in Xuzhou will be moved.

"This..."When it comes to marriage, Mi Fang has some different opinions. The little sister is still young, this kind of thing can wait a few more years..."He can fully imagine what his little sister will be like if she gets the news, and then I am afraid that the whole family will be restless.

Don't look at the fierce eldest brother on the surface, in fact, he loves his little sister the most in his heart. When the time comes, I can't bear to punish my little sister, and in the end, I'm afraid I'm going to find myself angry.

"Hmph..."Speaking of this, Mi Zhu was a little angry. Little sister is not what you are used to, if you don't find someone to control it, I don't know what will happen in the future, you don't care about this matter, just do what I say..."

But...

"You have a better relationship with your little sister, and when this time is over, you can go and talk to your little sister..."

But he didn't want to touch his little sister's mold in this matter, and planned to let Mi Fang do this substitute for the ghost.

Looking at Mi Fang's speechless expression, Mi Zhu was expressionless, but he snickered in his heart.

It's hard to say, but things still have to be done...

And his little sister has been locked up for so long, it is estimated that she is a little suffocated, and after thinking about it, Mi Zhu decided to go and see how her little sister is.

Mi Fang also had this idea, nodded and followed, and just arrived in the courtyard of Mi Zhen's room, and saw where the two guards were still standing like iron towers.

"The eldest prince..."

Although Mi Zhu has become the head of the family, the people in the family still prefer to call him the eldest prince, but this habit cannot be changed in a short time.

"Hmm..."Looking at the two guards, Mi Zhu nodded, but did not speak, and Mi Fang, who was next to him, opened his mouth and asked. How's Miss? Nothing happened, did it? ”

"No," one of them hurriedly replied when Mi Fang asked. The young lady has been sitting in the room, and has not gone out, as if she has been busy with the other maids in the room..."

"That's it..."Mi Zhu was also relieved when she heard this, she thought that her sister would make a good fuss for a while, but it didn't seem to be a big problem.

As for Mi Fang, she couldn't wait to walk over and said loudly. "Little sister, my brother and I came to see you..."

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

At this time, Mi Zhen actually just came back with two maids, no way, her activities are relatively flexible, but her two maids just...

The two maids wasted a lot of effort when they went out, but fortunately, the process of coming back was simpler than going out, otherwise I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to finish tossing until it was dark.

Witnessing the real battle formation, Mi Zhen seemed to be in good spirits, and even the fatigue of the day disappeared without a trace.

It was her two maids-in-waiting, but when they came back, they became crooked, and they didn't look like it. After all, unlike Mi Zhen, these are just two ordinary little girls, and they usually just run around behind Mi Zhen, and they have hardly done anything.

The three of them were taking off their armor in the room, and at this time, they heard Mi Fang's voice outside, and the three of them even the other maids in the room were all discolored.

If Mi Zhu and Mi Zhen walked in and saw the scene in front of them, Mi Zhen would be okay to say, and the fate of the remaining four maids would probably be a little worrying—————— no matter how generous the head of the family was, I am afraid that this kind of thing would be intolerable.

Fortunately, Mi Zhen was still relatively calm at this time, and although she was scared for a while when she heard Mi Fang's voice, she quickly regained her composure and glanced at the two maids.

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang pushed open the door of the room, and just as they walked in, they saw two maids coming towards them.

"The eldest son, the second son..."The two of them bowed and said, both said that women are born to act, and the same is true for the two, no matter how panicked they are in their hearts, they still made a calm appearance in front of the two.

Of course, there will still be some shortcomings in some details, after all, the two of them are not specialized in acting anyway. But now Mi Zhu and Mi Fang didn't pay attention to them, and they didn't notice this.

"Where's Miss?"

"Miss—" The two looked at each other and spoke. The young lady is resting in the room, and specially sent the two of us out, please wait a little longer for the eldest son and the second son, and the young lady will come out immediately..."

In fact, the two originally wanted to say that Mi Zhen was bathing, but in a hurry, where did they get such a bath? Well, in fact, the bathtub is still relatively easy to solve, as the sister of the richest man in Xuzhou, all the use of Mi Zhen is not comparable to Tao Qian's daughter.

This so-called small courtyard is already larger than the main house of many people, and the current house alone is already quite large, and it is still very simple to put a bath bucket, but the water in it...

There is so much water, but it is difficult to get it out in a hurry, not to mention that there are two guards guarding outside, even if you really get so much water, as long as you ask, it will be exposed. It's better to say directly that Mi Zhen is asleep, that is, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are Mi Zhen's own brothers, so you can't rush in before people get up and take care of it, right?

Sure enough, Mi Zhen's method is still somewhat useful, hearing that the sister paper has just woken up and is grooming, the two of them did not doubt the rationality of sleeping at this time, and they didn't say anything one by one—————— in their opinion, it is normal to be trapped in the room for a whole day, and sleep for a while.

Even if they were trapped in the room for so long, I am afraid there was nothing else to do except sleep.

The two of them first found a room to sit down, took the tea brought by the maid and took a few sips gently.

As for Mi Zhen? With the help of the other two maids, they were busy taking off their armor and then finding a place to hide.

Every time she thought of this, Mi Zhen couldn't help but complain a little about why she didn't find a place to hide that armor just now, and had to bring it back to the house. Not to mention how troublesome it is when climbing over the wall and climbing the house, it has become a big trouble now.

But at that time, Mi Zhen was also worried that her brother would come to look for her, but she would show her stuffing if she was not in the house, and she couldn't care about anything in her eagerness. Now...

Fortunately, this armor is not difficult to get rid of, which means that the kung fu of words has been almost done. Then Mi Zhen, with the help of the two, made a very light makeup, and walked out of the room...

It took less than a quarter of an hour...

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

Compared with the atmosphere in Xiapi City, the atmosphere in Cao Ying outside is a little dignified.

Although these generals of the Cao Army also knew very well that Yan Shao was coming, and the difficulty of Picheng would be much higher than before, they did not expect the appearance of the Qingzhou Army to become so tricky. The defects in the generals of the Xuzhou Army before were almost perfectly made up by the Qingzhou Army.

This is nothing, the most important thing is that almost everyone in the most important generals in Cao's army is now wounded. Especially the two fierce generals Xiahoudun and Cao Hong, who are usually used by Cao Cao as arrows, have also suffered heavy losses.

Cao Hong is still a little better, at least he can move a little, except for the wounds on his body a little more, there is actually no big problem, but Xiahoudun is...

The severity of his injuries has reached a very high level. These days, the best doctors in the camp almost never leave Xiahoudun's side, and almost even when it is convenient, they are picked by Xiahoudun's side...

After such trouble, Xia Houdun's injuries were finally stabilized a little, and he was not as precarious as before.

Every time he thought of Xiahoudun's injury, it would make Cao Cao's heart heavy.

"Lord..."Approaching Cao Cao's side, Xun Yu admonished. Now the shortcomings of the Xuzhou army have been made up by the Qingzhou army, and some of the grain and grass in our army are not very sufficient. ”

"Not bad..."At this time, Xi Zhicai also had to agree with Xun You's proposal. Lord, the matter of revenge is not in a hurry, for now, I should return to Yanzhou as soon as possible, and wait until everything is fully prepared before I come to avenge Cao Gong..."

However, at this time, Cao Cao was already blinded by hatred, where could he still listen to their words?

At this time, almost no one in Cao's camp noticed that a fast horse was taking advantage of the night to break through the encirclement of Cao's army, and the direction...

It also happens to be Yanzhou...
