Chapter 400: Mi Zhu's Ambition
"Good!"
Su Zhe happily slapped the case: "If your Mi family can really help me break through Qu County and destroy Liu Bei, I will forgive your previous sins and admit your sincerity." ”
Mi Fang was overjoyed, and was busy kneeling on the ground: "Rest assured, my Mi family will fight for the lives of a family, and I will also serve the Lord." ”
Su Zhe's attitude became pleasant, and he ordered Mi Fang to be served with wine, so that he could be entertained by him.
After a few rounds of drinking, Mi Fang asked tentatively: "My subordinates heard that the little sister Mi Zhen was invited away by the lord, but I don't know if the little sister is okay now." ”
Finally remembered their sister.
Su Zhe said with a smile: "Sister Ling, I have arranged to live in Tancheng, and the food and clothing are the best, so you can rest assured." ”
Mi Fang breathed a sigh of relief and arched her hand: "Thank you for treating your little sister well, but I don't know when we will be able to take my little sister home." ”
Do you want to take it away, what you think is beautiful......
Su Zhe said: "Ling Mei all the way from Qu County to Tancheng, the journey is hard, and now if I pick her up again, I'm just afraid that she won't be able to bear it, so let's let her rest in Qu County first, and then take her back after conquering Qu County, what do you think?" ”
Mi Fang didn't point at Su Zhe and immediately released him, and hurriedly said: "It's rare for the lord to be so careful and considerate of the little sister, this is really a blessing for the little sister, everything is up to the lord's arrangement." ”
After chatting about Mi Zhen, Su Zhe returned to the topic and asked, "I don't know how you plan to help me take Qu County." ”
Mi Fang said: "Liu Bei has half of the soldiers and horses, all of them are from my Mi family's servants, although these people nominally belong to Liu Bei, but their families are all tenants of my Mi family, as long as my Mi family is willing, these people will fight back at any time, seize the city gate for the lord, and let the lord's army enter the city." ”
Su Zhe nodded slightly, very satisfied, and then discussed the specific date and time with Mi Fang, and comforted him again before sending him away.
As soon as Mi Fang left, Su Zhe looked at Pang Tong: "Tong'er, is this Mi family really descending or false, what do you think?" ”
Pang Tong said: "The Mi family is a businessman, in the eyes of the businessman, the word profit comes first, as long as we stand in the position of the Mi family, take a look at their submission to the lord, whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or the suffocation is greater than the advantages, the results will be clear at a glance." ”
Su Zhe nodded slightly, stood up, paced in the tent, and was silent in thought.
Mi Zhen was robbed, and the dream of the Mi family and Liu Bei's marriage has been shattered.
And when Mi Zhen was robbed, Liu Bei did not send soldiers and horses to pursue, which shows that in Liu Bei's view, a few soldiers and horses are more important than a mere woman, which should make the Mi family chill.
At present, his army is in Linqu County, with a huge momentum, and on the surface, he has an absolute upper hand, and it seems that Liu Bei's situation is in danger.
From all aspects, Liu Bei has become a garbage stock, as a shrewd businessman, the Mi family should know when to cut meat.
Su Zhebei looked back and said, "That's right, as a businessman, the current Mi family, obeying me, is a wise choice to maximize interests." ”
"In that case, then Ziming should be planning to accept the Mi family's surrender?" Pang Tong smiled faintly.
The corners of Su Zhe's mouth raised a playful sneer: "Tong'er, you are only half right, if Mi Zhu is just a businessman, he will indeed do this, but unfortunately, this Mi Zhu's ambition is not just a businessman." ”
Pang Tongxiu raised his eyebrows and said, "According to my understanding of Mi Zhu, it seems that he doesn't seem to be a person with any grand ambitions. ”
At this time, Mi Zhu did not show the foresight of an ordinary businessman, and Pang Tong certainly couldn't see it.
Su Zhe is familiar with history, but he knows the real Mizhu well.
That Mi Zhu, when Liu Bei was at his most depressed, he also went bankrupt to support Liu Bei, and even rejected Cao Cao's official position several times, preferring to be a petty official by Liu Bei's side.
Whether Liu Bei defected to Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or Liu Biao, even when Liu Bei was on the line of life and death, Mi Zhu and his Mi clan would not abandon and swore to follow.
After Liu Bei became emperor, he was also extremely generous to the Mi family, Mi Zhu had a high status in Shu Han, and his official position was even one level lower than Zhuge Liang.
As for the descendants of the Mi family, except for Mi Fang, who surrendered to Eastern Wu, they also served as high-ranking officials in the Shu Han regime.
It is the Mi family's loyalty and unwavering loyalty to Liu Bei that made the Mi family from a wealthy merchant family to a prince and nobleman, and a first-class family.
It is precisely because of these histories that he can conclude that Mi Zhu's ambition is to be a hero of the founding of the country, and the goal is the great profit of the princes and nobles, rather than the small profits in front of him.
Therefore, from Mi Zhu's point of view, the benefits obtained by submitting to him are far from being comparable to the benefits obtained after assisting Liu Bei to achieve great causes.
"Mi Zhu is Liu Bei's diehard, he will never surrender to me!" Su Zhe made a categorical conclusion.
Pang Tong's expression was shocked, he hesitated for a moment, and Fang said: "Although I don't quite understand, Ziming, how did you conclude that Mi Zhu was a fake surrender, but you are the head of the Nine Qi, since you believe so, you must have your reason, in this way, the so-called internal and external cooperation of the Mi family should be a trap." ”
"It's a trap, but it's an opportunity." Su Zhe's expression was mysterious.
"Opportunity?" Pang Tong looked dazed.
"Yes, it's an opportunity, an opportunity to kill people with a knife, to leave no trace for me, and to get rid of a hidden danger." Su Zhe's tone was faintly cold and murderous.
Pang Tong looked puzzled, and couldn't understand the meaning of Su Zhe's words.
Su Zhe didn't explain much, and shouted with his hands: "Come on, invite Chen Deng to me." ”
Chen Deng, what is the purpose of calling Chen Deng?
Pang Tong's expression became more and more suspicious, but he remained silent, sitting and watching what kind of medicine was sold in Su Zhe's gourd.
A moment later, Chen Deng entered and performed the courtesy of the minister.
Su Zhe looked at the wine on the seat, and after a few polite words, he said, "Yuanlong, I have good news for you." ”
Chen Deng's eyes moved, and he smiled: "I don't know what good news it is, my subordinates would like to hear it." ”
Su Zhe secretly came to visit Mi Fang, claiming that he wanted to be obedient to him, and he told him that he would break the city inside and outside.
Of course, one of the details, Su Zhe also had another use, and did not reveal it to him.
Chen Deng's face changed in shock when he heard this, his eyes rolled, and he said hurriedly: "The lord must not trust that Mi Fang, the Mi brothers are loyal to Liu Bei, how can they easily submit to the lord, there must be fraud in this." ”
Su Zhe frowned, and asked rhetorically: "Yuanlong, on what basis do you believe that the surrender of the Mi family is fraudulent?" ”
"I-" Chen Deng was asked, speechless for a moment.
Su Zhe looked at his expression, and the corners of his mouth raised an imperceptible sneer.
Of course, he knew that Chen Deng was speechless.
The reason why Chen Deng opposed it at the first time was because he was afraid that the Mi family would surrender, and after making great contributions, he would be reused by him, and then the Mi family's status in Xuzhou would overwhelm his Chen family, and in the end, it would be the interests of his Chen family that would be damaged.
Therefore, he had to object, but for a while he couldn't think of a reason to oppose it.
Looking at Chen Deng, who was speechless, Su Zhe's face became gloomy, and he said coldly: "I said Chen Yuanlong, should you be afraid that the Mi family will compete with your Chen family for profit, and for your own selfishness, you want to frame the Mi family is a fraud." ”
Chen Deng's face changed immediately.
