Zhu Wei felt that Liu Bei came to borrow siege equipment from him this time, and it was very likely that Cao Cao knew that Zhu Wei had a lot of special siege equipment here, but he deliberately borrowed Liu Bei's name.

Cao Cao may also be very interested in the siege equipment on Zhu Wei's side, and wants to learn from it, so that he can imitate this siege equipment in the future, especially the thunderbolt catapult that can throw rocks on Zhu Wei's side, which can make Cao Cao's eyes hot.

It's a pity that Cao Cao also knows that Zhu Wei doesn't have a good impression of him, and if he comes forward, it will definitely not be possible to get anything on Zhu Wei's side, so it would be different to let Liu Bei come forward.

However, Zhu Wei faced the envoys sent by Lu Bu and Liu Bei, but he didn't want to give any meaning.

Liu Bei won't talk about it here, if he borrows some special siege equipment in the past, it is equivalent to handing over his technology to Cao Cao to study, even if Cao Cao fails to study the manufacturing principle of this siege equipment, he can also think of more countermeasures, wouldn't it be a vain enemy.

And Lu Bu's side, although the two sides are also in an alliance relationship, but Lu Bu is too uneasy, I don't know what he will do this time, I lend him the siege equipment on his side to use, it must be a meat bun and a dog, and there is no return.

So Zhu Wei didn't want to lend any siege equipment on both sides, well, maybe the cave house car that filled the moat could be considered to be lent out, anyway, this kind of car has no technical content, and it is easy to be imitated, as for the siege arrow tower and the thunderbolt catapult are the top secret technology created by Zhu Wei's side, so naturally they will not be borrowed.

It's just that after Zhu Wei discussed with Jia Xu, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others, although he had such a plan, he still had to consider the wording on how to refuse.

The problem on Liu Bei's side is not very big, anyway, there is no friendship between the two sides, borrowing is to give favors, and it is normal not to borrow.

But Lu Bu's side is a trouble, with Lu Bu's temperament, if he knows that Zhu Wei refuses, maybe he will have some resentment towards Zhu Wei in his heart, and then he will push him to Yuan Shu's side.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wei felt that it was really troublesome to meet Lu Bu, a second or fifth boy, and he was really a character who was unwilling to deal with more.

After thinking about it like this, Zhu Wei simply asked the envoys from Liu Bei and Lu Bu to come to see him together, and when the time came, they sent things away together.

So soon Liu Bei's envoy Mi Zhu and Lu Bu's envoy Chen Deng came to the main tent of the military village built by Zhu Wei outside the south gate of Shouchun City, and then entered the military tent successively under the order of the tent.

Of course, this Mi Zhu and Chen Deng are both from Xuzhou, in fact, they were originally both courtiers under Tao Qian's account, and they knew each other.

This Chen Dengnian is about 30 years old, wearing a Confucian shirt and robe, at first glance, he looks like a child of the scholar clan, but his body is slender and thin, and his face is also visible cheekbones, and he seems to be faintly sick.

It seems that this Chen Deng loves to eat fish (sashimi) all the year round, and his body has been affected by the parasites in the raw fish meat, so that his body has also appeared omens, but Chen Deng still doesn't know his condition, or he doesn't know how to get rid of the parasites in the body, so he doesn't care too much about the condition of the body.

Anyway, before the real onset of the disease, Chen Deng was still able to live a normal life, but he was just weaker, and as a child of the Xuzhou clan, he could also find enough medicinal materials to nourish his body.

But Zhu Wei felt a little pity when he looked at him, the problem was that Zhu Wei couldn't treat him now, Chen Deng's condition was helpless even if it was Hua Tuo, and now Zhu Wei hadn't been able to find Hua Tuo.

Of course, this Chen Deng is actually a person from Zhu Wei's side in secret, but now there is also Mi Zhu, the envoy from Liu Bei's side, so Chen Deng also disguised his identity and saluted Zhu Wei, and said, "Xuzhou Chen Deng has seen General Zhennan and Governor Jingyang!" ”

"Oh, it's Mr. Chen Deng, please take a seat and talk!"

Zhu Wei was also polite to Chen Deng, so he also saluted him and let him sit on the folding stool in the army on the side.

Then Mi Zhu also followed in, Mi Zhu is now thirty-five or six years old, although he is not from the scholar family, can only be included in the cold family, but also Xuzhou rich businessmen from a wealthy family, Mi ancestors have been operating reclamation for generations, and now the Mi clan has nearly 10,000 servants and diners, and the assets are countless.

Previously, when Tao Qian was in the past, Mi Zhu had been recruited by Tao Qian to be a different driver, and it could be regarded as stepping into the threshold of the official's home from a poor merchant, but it had not yet further promoted the Mi family to the scholar class, which was not a class that could be entered by being an official.

Therefore, when facing Chen Deng, Mi Zhu was still subconsciously weaker and courteous to Chen Deng first, which was not only his businessman's amiable nature of making money, but also because of his inferior status.

The hierarchical division of Shinong industry and commerce has been handed down since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, even if the merchants are rich, they have lost some social status on the official right path, and have been suppressed by the officials of all dynasties.

However, now Mi Zhu obviously wants to take advantage of the troubled times so that the Mi family can change the style of the door and change from a low-level merchant to a high-level scholarly family, so he will hug the thigh of Liu Bei, a down-and-out Han clansman.

Although Liu Bei doesn't seem to have any capital at all, this is also the time when it is worth investing, as long as a small amount of investment can get a huge rebate, for a businessman like Mi Zhu, it is naturally a time to test his vision.

After all, other Han clan relatives such as Liu Xiang and Liu Biao, although they have more territory and status than Liu Bei, they also don't look down on merchants like Mi Zhu, even if Mi Zhu gives them more money, it is just the icing on the cake, which can't make them really pay attention to it, but it may make them fall in love with Mi Zhu's money, and then break the house.

But Liu Bei is different, at least Liu Bei has now shown some places worth investing in, one is the identity of the Han family, the other is the former owner of Xuzhou, and the other is the support of fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei around him, Liu Bei himself seems to have some ability, so as long as Liu Bei is given a chance, Liu Bei will be able to pout.

In terms of original history, although Mi Zhu's investment was almost lost, he finally succeeded in following Liu Bei, and Liu Bei finally turned from Liu Ran in the early stage to a hegemon in the world.

Okay, let's not go far, but at the moment, Mi Zhu is still just holding Liu Bei, a broken hero who can't see any improvement, which makes people feel like an investment failure.

However, since Mi Zhu wants to change Mi's merchant background, he does not have the cheesiness of a businessman in his dress, and he looks like he is half-Confucian and half-literate, but he is not a Confucian after all, so he doesn't dare to really wear a Confucian shirt, which will be ridiculed by other regular Confucian students......
