Chapter 166: Mi Zhu asks for help
"My lord, now it seems that we are going to retire from the army? Or do you want to inform Brother Wen Ruo to be strict against Yuan Shu's sneak attack? Full of pets.
"No, since the troops have been dispatched, there is no reason to withdraw!" Cao Cao's eyes were ruthless, "I want to see if I can gnaw off the hard bone of Xuzhou!" ”
"Lord, what about Yuzhou?" Man Pet said with some concern.
"Well, this is a problem, in this way, send someone to send a message to Wen Ruo, and ask him to strictly prevent Yuan Shu from attacking, if the situation is urgent, send a message in time, and we will rush back!" Cao Cao thought for a moment.
"Yes, pet this way!" Manchu turned his horse's head, found a soldier, and ordered him to give orders.
"Tao Qian, Tao Qian, I can only blame my father for dying in Xuzhou, no matter who kills him, he will think that it is the person you sent!" In this way, there is a reason to break through the city gate of your Xuzhou! Cao Cao muttered to himself.
"Report, lord, there is a person outside the house, who calls himself Xuzhou Mizhu, and asks to see the lord!" In the Pastoral Mansion of Linzi Prefecture in Qingzhou, Liu Bei was discussing with Wenwu what should happen next, when a soldier interrupted their conversation.
"Mi Zhu?" Liu Bei was puzzled, "Is that the rich merchant scribe from Xuzhou?" ”
"This person must have something important to do, so let's see it!" Liu Bei's right-hand hand side of a strategist spoke.
"Okay, then invite him in!" Liu Bei nodded.
Soon, Mi Zhu followed the soldiers into the governor's mansion.
"Xuzhou Mi Zhu Zizhong, I have seen Xuande Gong, I have seen all gentlemen, all generals!" As soon as he entered the house, Mi Zhu saluted everyone in the house.
"Hehe, quickly show Zizhong a seat." Stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling person, Liu Bei naturally knows this truth, Mi Zhu is already so polite, he can't say it if he's not polite.
"Thank you, Xuandegong." Mi Zhu bowed to Liu Bei again.
"I wonder why Mr. Zizhong is here?" Liu Bei asked.
"Hey, Zhu is here to tell Xuande Gong that Xuande Gong is in danger!" Mi Zhu sighed and said.
"Dangerous? What danger is there for our army? At this time, the scribe beside Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Who is this gentleman ......?" Mi Zhu asked.
"At this time, our army's military division, Chen Gong Chen Gongtai!" Liu Bei said. Anyway, why is Chen Gong here? On that day, Chen Gong abandoned Cao Cao and left alone, with nowhere to go, and went back to be the county commander? Isn't that looking for death? Cao Cao was let go by him! Simply, Chen Gong returned to his hometown of Qingzhou East County, studied and farmed in his hometown, but he was also at ease.
Until a while ago, Dong Zhuo assigned Liu Bei to Qingzhou as a state pastor, when Liu Bei first arrived in Qingzhou, he was really poor and white, except for their brothers, there was no one else, he was short of manpower, and he repaired a book, and called his young acquaintance Jian Yong to discuss major matters together, however, Jian Yong was only eloquent and could act as a lobbyist, but it was really difficult for him to plan something.
In desperation, Liu Bei had to visit the township, and finally, I heard that there was a talented person in Dongjun, surnamed Chen Minggong, the word Gongtai, even if he wanted to go to Dongjun to invite Chen Gong out of the mountain.
At this time, Chen Gong is not very old, and he is not willing to be satisfied with the status quo because of his great ambitions, so Liu Bei came to seek talent, Chen Gong made it difficult for Liu Bei, and under Liu Bei's crying, Chen Gong was moved, so he was willing to worship Liu Bei as the main and plan the next development for Liu Bei.
With Chen Gong Qingzhou, it is different, whether it is in the palace or in the army, it is arranged by Chen Gong in an orderly manner. Qingzhou is thriving.
"It turned out to be Mr. Gongtai, who has admired the name for a long time!" Mi Zhu complimented, "Do you know that Cao Cao has already raised troops to attack my Xuzhou?" ”
"What does that have to do with me, Qingzhou?" Chen Gong glanced at Mi Zhu with a smile.
"Qingxu Erzhou has always relied on each other, and the lips and teeth are safe and secure?" Mi Zhu said.
"In this way, if Brother Zizhong wants to say something, don't beat around the bush!" Chen Gong naturally understood Mi Zhu's intention here, but he pretended not to know and asked.
"Lord Zhufeng Taoqian's order, please send troops to help!" Mi Zhu got up and bowed three times to Liu Bei.
"Hehe, you said that if you send troops, you will send troops? Why did my lord send troops? Just one sentence of cold lips and teeth wants us to send troops? Chen Gong said with a smile.
"Mr. Gongtai, if Xuande Gong is willing to send troops to help and resist that Cao Cao, I, Xuzhou, am willing to give Xuande Gong 100,000 stone grain and grass as a reward!" Mi Zhu said this, but in his heart he was very distressed, 100,000 stones of grain and grass, how many troops can be fed? How many people can it feed?
Lakh? When Liu Bei heard this number, he immediately wanted to agree, but Chen Gong gave him a look and stopped Liu Bei's movements.
"Only 100,000 stone grain and grass?" Chen Gong said playfully. He didn't expect Mi Zhu to be so generous, and he actually gave 100,000 stones of grain and grass, which greatly exceeded the expectations in his heart.
"This ......," Mi Zhu gritted his teeth and said again, "In addition, there are three thousand sets of armor!" ”
"Good! Zizhong will go down first and wait for a while, we will discuss and discuss, and tomorrow we will send troops to the battle! With the permission of Chen Gong, Liu Beidang agreed to come down, as if he was afraid that Mi Zhu would regret it.
"Okay, then Zhu will retire first!" Mi Zhu naturally knew that Liu Bei would not let him know about such a major military event, so he simply didn't stay longer, and he was very tired after a few days of rushing around, so he went to rest under the leadership of his subordinates.
"Mr. Gongtai, are we really going to send troops?" Liu Bei said.
"Of course, but we don't need to use all our strength to send troops, then Cao Cao raised a large army to attack Xuzhou, Yanzhou can be described as extremely empty! So how could Yuzhou Yuan Shu let go of such a great opportunity? Once Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Yanzhou, Cao Cao would definitely return to the army to save him, so this battle would not be too long! Chen Gong said.
"Then what if Yuan Shu delays attacking Yanzhou?" Liu Bei said.
"Hehe, if he doesn't fight, someone will let him fight, it's really impossible, so we will send someone to lobby Yuan Shu and order him to send troops!" Chen Gongdao.
"Okay, then Mr. Gongtai, who should we send to lead the troops this time? How many troops should be sent? Liu Bei asked.
"Since Tao Qian spent a lot of money to invite the lord to send troops, then our posture must be sufficient, the lord personally led 10,000 troops to go, followed by the three generals and the palace, as for the second general, he stayed in Qingzhou, in case the enemy took advantage of the situation!" Chen Gongdao.
"Okay, just according to what Mr. Gongtai said!" Liu Bei nodded, "Third brother, order 10,000 soldiers, and go with me tomorrow!" Second brother, the family will be left to you to stay! ”
"Big brother, rest assured, there is no loss in Qingzhou!"
"Okay, I'm going to order troops!"
"Lord, three generals, this battle doesn't require much effort from our army, so you don't have to take the lead in everything, just give Tao Qian a good example. All we do is food and armor! Chen Gong instructed.
"Sir, don't worry, be prepared!" Liu Bei nodded.
