Mi Zhu knew the current affairs and knew that it was time to give up, but he was very unwilling, or very disappointed.

I have worked hard for so long, although I have made great progress during the period, but this time I am afraid that I will beat him back to his original form.

Originally, Mi Zhu even wanted to become the head of a business family.

Although Ye Chen owns Youzhou, he thinks that he owns Xuzhou, Xuzhou is richer than Youzhou, and the surroundings of Xuzhou are also relatively wealthy, and it is relatively close to the hinterland of the Central Plains, so there are many conveniences

Under Mi Zhu's management, the Mi family has developed rapidly, and other business families can hardly match it.

But his big backer, Tao Qian, fell, fell.

Can Mi Zhu not be melancholy, can he not sigh?

"Alas, the head of the Ye family, we are of the same age, at the beginning, our Mi family didn't know how many times older than the Ye family, but now, looking back, all this is in vain, my Mi family is about to be beaten back to its original form, but the Ye family is proud of the world."

Mi Zhu said very unwillingly, Mi Zhu has pursuits, he is young, and he is the head of a super business family, how can he be willing to be worse than others.

"Master of the Mi family, there is no need to be like this, we each have our own way of life, and we have our own way to go."

Mi Zhu thought for a while and said: "In this troubled world, I can understand that there are no soldiers and horses, even if the emperor is what?" No matter how big my official is? ”

"Master of the Ye family, I will cooperate with Lu Bu to take Xuzhou, and my Mi family will be scattered, as long as I live, there will always be a chance in the future."

Mi Zhu had given up everything he had at this time, and the survival of the Mi family was the first priority.

Mi Zhu left, very melancholy, he was destined to choose Tao Qian.

In history, Mi Zhu first chose Tao Qian, and then Liu Bei, although Liu Bei finally developed in the Bashu region, but the Mi family was not very prosperous.

Ye Chenna returned to calm, but Xuzhou was not calm.

Mi Zhu is in action, and Lu Bu is also in action.

This time, Tao Qian was in a daze for two days, and two days later, Ye Chen was invited to the state pastor's mansion through Mi Zhu.

"Master Tao, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect this to happen." Ye Chen said beside Tao Qian's bedside.

Tao was weak and weak, and his two sons were waiting next to him, and there was no one else in the room.

"General Ye, the old man is dying, but he can't rest assured that the people of Xuzhou, the old man knows very well that after my death, Xuzhou will be the most chaotic time, General Ye can send troops to help stabilize Xuzhou, no matter what happens to Xuzhou in the future, it will not be ruined because of drastic changes." Tao Qian said.

Ye Chen had to admire, this Tao Qian has been in charge of Xuzhou for so many years, and he has vision and strategy.

Although he knew that he couldn't keep Xuzhou, as long as Xuzhou could be stable for a period of time after his death, there would be no forces that would fall against each other and destroy Xuzhou.

As long as Xuzhou is stable for three or five months, no matter who wins Xuzhou after that, there will be no large-scale and fierce conflicts at that time.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "There's nothing to be thankful for, just take the money to do things." ”

Tao Qian just shook his head slightly and said, "No, this trip to Xuzhou's troubled waters, few people dare to come at this time, all I can think of, is only General Ye, but unfortunately General Ye is not from Xuzhou, otherwise he will definitely want Xuzhou to let him, and Mi Zhu's prestige is insufficient, he has no family foundation, and he can't be the lord of Xuzhou, otherwise the old man won't have to bother so much." ”

Ye Chen understood that Tao Qian had seen many things very thoroughly, but it was a pity that he was old, and he might have had time to arrange Xuzhou before, but Cao Cao's sudden attack on Xuzhou directly caused him to become seriously ill, and then critically ill, and he was no longer able to deal with the affairs of Xuzhou.

"General Ye, it doesn't matter who Xuzhou is in, I just hope that after my death, Xuzhou will not be bloody and can be smoothly transitioned, even if there is a war, it will only be a short-term pain."

This was Tao Qian's last explanation and request, which made Ye Chen very surprised.

Tao Qian didn't want to entrust Xuzhou to Ye Chen, and he didn't even arrange the connecting class, he may see that Xuzhou will eventually fall into the hands of strength.

After returning from Tao Qian, Ye Chen directly led people to the military camp outside the city, he didn't want to continue to participate in all kinds of rights and wrongs in the city.

Many powerful factions in the city wanted to visit Ye Chen, originally they had their own plans, but Tao Qian invited Ye Chen and pressed them directly on their heads, so that they did not dare to move.

Not to mention anything else, in history, the Chen family, Cao Bao and many other families have fought fiercely.

Straight out of the city, dodging these troubles.

Tao Qian also saw that Xuzhou would fall apart after his death, and then all kinds of power struggles, so he invited foreign aid to suppress all this.

With Ye Chen's army here, these people really didn't dare to move.

Ye Chen stayed outside the city for more than ten days before the news of Tao Qian's death came.

As soon as Tao Qian died, Xuzhou had no owner, but at this time, no matter who it was, no one came to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Tao Qian's two sons dealt with Tao Qian's descendants, and it was also very smooth, and the officials and families in the city were honest.

I have to say that Ye Chen's army of more than 20,000 is too deterrent.

Foreign enemies dare not invade, internal thieves dare not mess up, Xuzhou after Tao Qian's death, a calm, very rare.

"Lord, this Xuzhou has stabilized, what should we do next?" Guan Yu asked.

"Collect the money and leave, but I promised Tao Qian to stabilize Xuzhou for three months, this must be done, and then complete the transaction with Lu Bu, and we will leave Xuzhou immediately."

This mission, although a large army was dispatched, it went unusually well.

As soon as Tao Qian's posterity was completed, Ye Chen began to act, and the 50,000 people Tao Qian promised would be transported back by Ye Chen first.

At this time, Mi Zhu was still in Xuzhou, plus more than 20,000 troops were here, no one dared to stop him, Ye Chen was directly in the city near the sea, and the people of the entire small city were moved.

This was to save time, because Ye Chen's trade with Lu Bu was also population, and he needed to make the fleet vacate as soon as possible and trade more population.

A month after Tao Qian's death, Lü Bu finally began to act, leading the army and quietly approaching Xiapi.

And the people in Xiapi City can only worry in their hearts, and dare not make any changes.

Although there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, no one dared to act, and the army in Xuzhou was not very good, there were no generals, no elite soldiers.

Two months later, Ye Chen will transport more than 60,000 people.

This is more than 10,000 people more than Tao Qian promised, but no one cares about it anyway, and no one else knows about the extra 10,000 or 20,000, and even if he knows, he doesn't dare to say anything, so Ye Chen will not be polite.

The people were transported away, but Youzhou's fleet was still gathered outside Xuzhou, waiting for the next operation.

Time was very fast, three months passed, and Ye Chen's task was completed.

"Gongtai, the agreed time has arrived, will Ye Chen really support us to obtain Xuzhou?" Lu Bu asked with some uncertainty.

"Don't worry, it will be good for Ye Chen for us to become the owner of Xuzhou, if he doesn't want to get Xuzhou, then it is the best choice to help us get Xuzhou."

However, Chen Gong also secretly exclaimed, Ye Chen opened his mouth to be 200,000 people, and directly doubled Tao Qian's price, which was really ruthless.
