The jade belt edict also quietly passed to Lu Peng's hands, and the emperor first thanked Lu Peng for donating to the royal family, affirmed Lu Peng's loyalty to the Han family, and asked Lu Peng to send troops to rescue Cao Cao.

This is a big deal, so Lu Peng held a special meeting to discuss it.

At this time, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao's envoys also arrived, which made Youzhou very lively, but it was really annoying.

But no matter what, the envoy has to be received, and the emperor's jade edict must also be considered. Of course, the purpose of meeting the envoy is to see the price given by everyone, is the jade belt edict, that is a rag, wipe the table, and it can't be true, the emperor has become a food, what else can he give himself? But at this time, Lu Peng was ready to take it out as a bargaining chip to weigh the forces of all parties.

Liu Bei's envoy Mi Fang first visited his brother Mi Zhu, and after reporting the affairs of his family in detail, he sat upright, took out the identity of his envoy, and said the purpose of his visit: "Lu Peng and my lord have an old relationship, if there is no knowledge of my lord at the beginning, he Lu Peng would not have achieved today, so in terms of emotional kindness, Lu Peng, as a gentleman, should also repay one or two." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mi Zhu was not happy at the time: "The second brother does not dare to agree with this brother, as far as I know, my father-in-law was the first to meet Zhang Fei, and then happened to meet the second general Guan Yu, the three of them are like-minded, and they all want to do something for the Han world and create a great cause." It was my father-in-law who said that General Zhang Fei was moved, and he was willing to sacrifice all his family property to form a righteous army and sweep away the Yellow Turban Army. ”

Then he glanced at Liu Bei in the distance with disdain, "Jieyi Guan is in front, it is your lord Liu Bei's lateg, with that unwarranted royal identity, he robbed the position of my lord, and only then did he have today's achievements, from the whole situation, your lord's lord Liu Bei is a thief, and now he is driven out of desperation, and he is even embarrassed to send you to ask my lord for help." It's just a matter of asking for help, you should have an identity consciousness for help, where is it like you? To do a dirty thing as a thief, to say it so high-sounding? ”

Mi Fang is a little embarrassed, what his eldest brother said is indeed this truth, his lord in addition to the pair of straw shoes craftsmanship, that is, that identity can be used, if it wasn't for Lu Peng to say that Zhang Fei took out all the family property, if it wasn't for Lu Peng to get the funding of his two brothers now, it is estimated that Liu Bei is still selling his straw shoes and reed mats in a certain market.

But at this time, it was not interesting to mention the past, so he quickly put aside those bad debts and said his words again: "Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, named Hanchen, to be traitors, and people of insight in the world should discuss it together, and my lord Uncle Liu Huang, who was entrusted by the emperor, held high the banner of rebellion, and fought against the powerful Cao thief with a weak army, which can be described as a famous loyal man in the world, and won the common praise of the whole world. ”

Mi Zhu smiled disdainfully: "Although your lord has obtained the emperor's so-called jade belt edict, it seems that he has mastered the righteousness of the world, but in fact, don't you know, the current emperor is still a fart, and his prospectus has also gone to the hands of our lord, but it is just a rag, your so-called common protection of the royal family, in fact, is a well-known joke, your lord just wants to use this, to do the things that the princes asked Dong Zhuo at the beginning, what he wants is to sit in the position of the leader of this alliance." ”

When this matter was picked out, Mi Fang was embarrassed again, this is really, who is eating towards whom, and does not take into account the feelings of his brother at all.

However, Mi Fang's attitude towards the eldest brother did not have any complaints at all, the reason was still the same as at the beginning, in order to protect themselves, the big family did not put all their eggs in one basket, and put the best talents of the family into various forces, but they must absolutely uphold the principle of loyalty to whose owner they eat, and they should never betray the interests of their group to each other because everyone is the son of a family, which will be despised.

Seeing the embarrassed second brother, Mi Zhu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "The hearts of the people now are different from the original, when everyone fought against Dong Zhuo together, they still had more or less loyalty to the Han family in their hearts, but look at it now, is there still such a fool in the world?" If there is no interest, why should we in Youzhou work for you Liu Bei? ”

This point directly poked at Mi Fang's sore spot, what his eldest brother said was indeed right, the heroes of the world no longer have the meaning of loyalty, and between attacking each other, they all shouted righteousness, but in fact, it was not driven by interests.

This time, his lord Liu Bei called on the heroes of the world to jointly crusade against Cao Cao, also because Cao Cao had a huge threat to the position of Xuzhou Mu who had not yet sat firmly, and hoped that the princes of the world could restrain Cao Cao and let him have a period of time to stabilize Xuzhou, and what Liu Bei could come up with, except for this kind of illusory and meaningless righteousness, there was nothing that could be taken at all.

In these years, if you hire a worker and pay for labor, you just want others to work for you with one mouth, which is not realistic at all, loyal to the court, and righteous - bullshit.

"Let me tell you, now that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have envoys to our Youzhou, Cao Cao has agreed to cede half of Bohai County to us Youzhou in exchange for our lord not sending troops to interfere with his back road. Yuan Shao's condition was to open up their market, accept our business conditions, and promise that within three years, he would never send a single soldier to harass us in Youzhou. Then he still looked at his brother with disdain: "And what can you Liu Bei come up with?" ”

Mi Zhu revealed to his brother the conditions of the opponent, not because of the relationship between the brothers of the family to help his brother achieve his goal, but a way of negotiation and bargaining chips.

Mi Fang was embarrassed for the third time.

Cao Cao's conditions are definitely too tempting, and Lu Peng is equivalent to easily obtaining half of the ten prefectures and counties of Bohai without spending a single soldier, which makes Lu Peng's territory expand again and increase his strength again.

And the conditions offered by Yuan Shao are indeed rich, those old antiques don't understand, but as the second head of the Mi family, who started in business, he knows the stakes of this business. Yuan Shao's decision, in the case of unequal business, is equivalent to opening up his fat to Lu Peng, letting Lu Peng slowly cut it one by one, eating meat and drinking blood little by little, what he paid was actually greater than what Cao Cao paid.

Mi Fang also wanted to make the decision for her lord, and cut something to Lu Peng, in exchange for Lu Peng to send troops to Cao Cao's back and pull his lord. But looking around blankly, he really couldn't take out anything, cede a piece of land, and Cao Cao and Lu Peng couldn't govern it in the middle.

Open up a part of the market, but there is still Cao Cao in the middle, and it can't be operated at all, which makes Mi Fang helpless.

But Mi Fang did not give up and continued to fight on the basis of reason, but Mi Zhu did not get tangible benefits, and resolutely did not retreat, not only did not agree to jointly send troops to pull Cao Cao's hind legs and help Liu Bei, but in other words, there was also a kind of intention to unite with Cao Cao, an inherent ally, and share a piece of Xuzhou's soup.

Coercion, absolute coercion.

The two brothers talked about each other all night, of course, during this period, the individual stood on his personal standpoint, and no one talked about any matter in the family, and he did not let an inch of land be argued, and finally broke up unhappily.
