"Didn't I tell you that I hadn't seen any visitors for a while? Let the man go back! Mi Zhu didn't raise his head.

"The old slave said it, but the man refused to leave, saying that he had something particularly important to look for you, so you must take time to meet him!" The butler explained.

"And this kind of thing?" Mi Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then said very calmly: "Since this is the case, then let him in!" ”

Although I don't know who the other party is, and I don't know what important things to look for him, since the other party is determined to come to visit me, it doesn't seem like a big deal to meet him by myself.

"The old slave knows!" The butler nodded, and quickly walked out.

In a moment, the old slave returned, and behind him, with a tall and thin young man, who looked very clever, should be the guest who had come to visit.

However, Mi Zhu's brows were slightly furrowed at this time, and in his memory, he couldn't find any impression related to this thin and tall young man, that is, he didn't know the other party, so what was the matter with the other party coming to visit him?

"Yuzhou Chen Li, meet Mr. Mi!" While Mi Zhu was thinking, the tall and thin young man gave Mi Zhu a salute with a very respectful attitude.

"Brother Chen, please take a seat!" Mi Zhu smiled slightly and pointed to the small chair next to him. Although he doesn't know each other, the person who comes is a guest, and he still has to pay attention to his demeanor.

Chen Li was also not polite, and sat down with a big thorn, very rude.

"Listen to the housekeeper, Brother Chen has something important to look for Mi? Is there such a thing? After Chen Li took his seat, Mi Zhu asked.

"Indeed!" Chen Li smiled faintly and said softly: "Chen has a big deal, but because of the small capital, he can't swallow it, so I want to borrow the power of your Mi family, and you and I will work together to achieve a win-win situation!" ”

Mi Zhu listened, his face became a little bad, he thought who this person was, it turned out to be a person who came to fight the autumn breeze, he refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry, my Mi family's business is very small, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cooperate with Brother Chen!" ”

"No, Mr. Mi, you will definitely be interested in my business." was rejected by Mi Zhu, but Chen Li's face did not change at all, but said with a bit of playfulness.

"Oh? I don't know if Brother Chen can tell Mi what kind of business it is? Mi Zhu asked lightly.

Chen Li didn't answer, but just looked at the maids who were serving on the left and right.

"Stand down!" Although I don't think this stranger can do any good business with himself, but since others have made this gesture, Mi Zhu, who has always been gentle to others, still gave a little thin noodles and let the maid on the side retreat.

"Can you say it now?" When the maid retreated, Mi Zhu asked again.

"Chen Li, the head of the Huainan Army, is ordered by our Jia Junshi to meet Mr. Mi!" Chen Li probed left and right again, and saw that there was indeed no one else, but he knelt down directly on one knee and made a big bow to Mi Zhu again.

"You?" Mi Zhu's face changed, and he didn't say anything for a while, and only after waiting for a while, he said indifferently: "What are you looking for me?" I don't know any Jia Junshi? ”

"Mr. Mi?" Chen Li's face was anxious, and he just wanted to say something, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, he patted his head, took out a secret letter directly from his underwear, handed it over, and said: "Mr. Mi, I know you don't believe my identity very much, but I brought a secret letter from my military advisor, please take a look!" ”

Mi Zhu didn't speak, just calmly took the secret letter in his hand, and after opening it, he didn't look at the content first, but looked down first, and only after seeing a seal mark unique to the Jiangdong forces covered below, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to read the letter slowly.

The number of words in the letter is not much, but the content is amazing, after reading it carefully, Mi Zhu couldn't help but close his eyes and calm down for a while, before he slowly spoke: "How long will it take for the eight thousand army to reach Xiapi?" ”

"It will be there in three days, if Mr. Mi is willing to help, we will directly attack the city at night that night!" Chen Li replied.

Mi Zhu nodded, and then said softly: "I know about this matter, so I will do what the letter says!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Mi!" Chen Li's face was happy, and he thanked him again and again.

"Thank you, isn't it right to help your brother-in-law?" Mi Zhu smiled slightly, very gentle.

"Then go back to your life, and please don't forget the time!" Chen Li arched his hand and planned to leave.

"It's nature!" Mi Zhu returned the salute and watched Chen Li walk out.

"Hey!" When he was the only one left in the room, Mi Zhu couldn't help but sigh, when Nei Ying Ke is a dangerous job, once the news leaks out Mi family is afraid that it will completely dissipate, but he has already gotten on the boat in Jiangdong, and even his sister is married, how can he not help.

"Fortunately, that Jia Xu military division is an extraordinary wise man, Cao Ren's army has all been led away by him, and he has painstakingly come up with this wonderful plan, this matter should be possible!" Thinking about it, thinking of Jia Xu's series of plans in the letter, Mi Zhu's mood quickly relaxed again, and he even faintly looked forward to it, if Xuzhou was really taken down by the Jiangdong Army, then his Mi family would really have the capital to become a big weapon.

、、、、、、、、、、、

After hearing that Huang Zhong was going to Yuzhou, Cao Ren also took 30,000 troops to Yuzhou to block, in his opinion, Huang Zhong ran away, and it was useless to leave too many soldiers here, so the defenders of Xiapi City were only 5,000, that is, the original men and horses who had been guarding here before.

These 5,000 men and horses belong to the commander of the captain Wei Jiang who stayed here, it stands to reason that the enemy army has run away, and there should be no danger in staying here, Wei Jiang himself thinks so, but he was soon caught off guard by a piece of news.

"What do you say? Tell me again? Listening to the report of the spies outside the city, Wei Jiang asked in horror.

"A large number of enemy troops have been found thirty miles away, and they are coming at us!" The spies repeated it again.

"What are you kidding, then Huang Zhong has brought his soldiers and horses to Yuzhou, how can there still be a large number of enemy troops?" Wei Jiang couldn't help but grab the spies by the collar and roared.

"General, general, the villain has seen it with his own eyes, and everything is true!" Seeing that Wei Jiang was angry, the spy stammered.

"Report to the general, something is wrong, a large number of enemy troops are coming to my Picheng!" At this time, another spy hurriedly ran in and said hurriedly.

"Really?" Wei Jiang looked stunned, let go of his big hand, put down the spy before, and muttered to himself: "This, how is this possible, the other party's soldiers and horses have obviously all retreated, and General Cao personally confirmed it, it is impossible to be wrong." ”

"How many of them are there?" Wei Jiang shook his head, forced himself to come back to his senses, and asked.

"I don't know, the villain quickly ran back after seeing their queue from a distance, according to the villain's guess, it should be about 10,000!" The spy replied.

"About 10,000? Could it be that Huang Zhong deceived General Cao and only took 40,000 people with him before going to Yuzhou? There are still 10,000 soldiers and horses hidden in Xuzhou? When Wei Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but guess in his heart.

But now that things have taken shape, it's useless to think about this, Wei Jiang quickly put this series of messy ideas behind him, if the enemy really only has 10,000 people, it's not that there is no chance, after all, they also have 5,000 soldiers in the city, occupying the benefits of the city, as long as Huang Zhong, who is so brave that he is perverted, it seems that it is not impossible to defend it.

"Give me an order that the brethren gather together quickly, and all of them shall hurry up to the city wall!" After thinking about it, Wei Jiang began to mobilize troops and horses, in any case, he was the captain of the city, and in the absence of the general, he must do his duty and defend the city.

、、、、 when Jia Xu came to Xiapi City with 8,000 soldiers and horses, the defenders in the city were already in strict formation, in this regard, Jia Xu did not feel any disappointment, 8,000 soldiers and horses will definitely have a lot of movement in the march, and it is obviously a normal thing to be informed by the other party's spies early, and Jia Xu never expected to be able to use a sneak attack to capture the fortified city of Xiapi, although Cao Ren Xu Huang and other generals have run away, but there are 5,000 soldiers and horses left behind.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and it seemed that the sky was about to darken in another hour, Jia Xu watched under the city tower for a while, then smiled at the officer who was dressed as a lieutenant at the head of the city, and waved his hand directly, it is better to retire from the army and settle the camp first.

"Whew!" Seeing that the enemy army just shook around the city and retreated, Wei Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, although with the arrival of the enemy, the battle was inevitable, but it seemed that the other party was not going to attack the city today, and he could also relax the tense nerves.

"It doesn't look like there are too many enemy troops, so we shouldn't be able to lose ground when we defend it!" Thinking back to the previous queue of enemy troops, Wei Jiang touched the short beard on his chin and thought.

As a lieutenant who is only one step away from the general, he is also a person who has been in battle for a long time, although his talent is not very good, but he has combat experience, after a short confrontation before, he can confirm that the opponent's strength is definitely less than 10,000, and it is estimated that it is about 8,000, which is not much more than the soldiers they defend the city.

Thinking about it like this, Wei Jiang suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, Xiapi is a strong city, when the gap between the two sides is not large, it is still quite easy to defend, at least with five thousand against eight thousand, it is really not very difficult, and it is even easier to defend, of course, the premise is that the other party does not have that kind of super-first-class general, otherwise, just a few thousand people, it is estimated that the other party will rush up directly to attack the city, just like the crazy Huang Zhong a few days ago, although he did not capture the city, but the demeanor of the single person rushing to the city is really invincible, To this day, Weijiang is still fresh in my memory.

"Now that the enemy army is coming, you remember to take turns to keep vigil at night, and you must keep an eye on me to guard against the enemy's night attack!" At this time, the sky was almost dark, Wei Jiang walked around the city wall again, and planned to go back to rest, the enemy army retreated, and he still stayed on the city wall obviously looking for guilt, but before leaving, he still repeatedly explained a few words to the commander who was responsible for patrolling the city wall at night.
