Guan Yu is a very arrogant person, although he is just an ordinary commoner's son but he looks down on businessmen very much, this is a common disease of people in this era, especially the hierarchy of Shinong industry and commerce, which has not changed for thousands of years, everyone likes money, but everyone is unwilling to be a businessman, businessmen are cheap, in the eyes of the ancients, the people worked hard, and were bought by profiteers at a small price, but sold at a very high price, this kind of hard work to make the difference, the ancients did not see, What they see is the profit in it, and they are very unhappy in their hearts.
But we can't blame all the ancients, businessmen seek profits, because businessmen do have a lot of rich and unkind, they do whatever it takes for the sake of profit, they raise prices, in the disaster, the disaster does not want to help the people but raise the price of rice, take the opportunity to make ill-gotten gains, so that in the eyes of the people naturally there is no good evaluation, and some businessmen are even more national wealth, they ignore the life and death of the border people, and sell all the strategic materials such as rice and grain, iron, oil and salt to foreigners, so that the foreigners have oil and salt, There is iron in his hand to build weapons, originally the foreign cavalry is very strong, and now with a sharp weapon in hand, the natural frontier will not be peaceful, and Guan Yu is a kind of person who has stayed in the state generation, there is a kind of merge state generation of people, there because of the merchant, the war continues, the frontier soldiers have been killed and injured countless times, naturally Guan Yu will not have a good impression of the businessman, love the house and Wu, and also hate a thing will hate a series of things about him, and the Mi family is the richest businessman in Xuzhou, and the businessman is profit-seeking, The Mi family looked for a way back when Tao Qian was still alive.
And Liu Bei came to Xuzhou with the help of the Mi family, you must know that Tao Qian was besieged by Cao Cao in Pengcheng, and the reinforcements he shouted were only Tian Kai in Qingzhou, and Kong Rong in Beihai, but no one knew Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang. It was Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, who brought Liu Bei into Xuzhou, and Guan Yu was originally out of sight, after all, this Mi family was very important to the great cause of the eldest brother Liu Bei, but later Mi Zhu married his sister to Liu Bei, which really made Guan Yu frown, and wanted to drag the nepotism. And the two brothers of the Mi family, the eldest brother Mi Zhu is a good businessman, but he can't do it in strategy, Mi Fang, who was also a hairy boy at that time, couldn't do martial arts. It is not good to command the army, and Liu Bei was beaten out of Xuzhou by Lu Bu after a while, and lost a qiē family belongings, and the two brothers of the Mi family were naturally like useless people in Liu Bei's army, and Liu Bei was left with a small pei, and the gold in his hand was not more than a thousand. How to let Mi Zhu do business, and Liu Bei had three thousand white-eared soldiers left in his hands at that time, and his brothers were not enough to divide the troops, so where could the soldiers and horses be given to Mi Fang as commander!
So Guan Yu has always been really disdainful of the Mi family, and the merchant family still relies on nepotism, so that Guan Yu, an arrogant person, doesn't want to have any intersection with the Mi family at all. But under the same roof and the same lord Liu Bei, how can there be no intersection, Liu Bei let Guan Yu deal with the Mi family, although Guan Yu tried his best to restrain himself, but his dead face couldn't hide it at all, and couldn't help but show a look of disdain and contempt, you said Mi Fang can bear it! Mi Zhu is okay, after all, he is the head of the family, and he carries the entire Mi family alone, and when the world is peaceful, he takes the Mi family caravan to the north and south. Who has never seen it, can treat Guan Yu with a smile, and Mi Fang can't help it, a young man with strong blood, he looks at people's faces and does things every day. How can you let Mi Fang stand it, but you can't beat Guan Yu, and the low position is not as high as Guan Yu, so Mi Fang said to her sister Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Mi blew her ear at Liu Bei's bedside, Liu Bei naturally agreed to let Guan Yu have a better attitude, but Liu Bei didn't remind him to be okay, a reminder, Guan Yu looked down on the Mi family more and more, the merchant family, relying on nepotism, and now he is still making a small report to be a villain, Guan Yu directly does not refrain from restraint, perfunctory and perfunctory, disgust and disdain are directly overflowing, made the relationship between the Mi family and Guan Yu very stiff, and Mi Fang just couldn't stand Guan Yu's disdain, and after Liu Bei set out on the expedition, Guan Yu was in Runan, Mi Fang took the opportunity to transfer out and come to Yingshang as a garrison general, otherwise he would not be able to bear it when he saw Guan Yu.
"Huh!" Liu Mang looked at Mi Fang, who was panting and about to explode on the city wall, he really guessed correctly, Mi Fang and Guan Yu were at odds on the original trajectory, but because of his brother's persuasion, and later Mrs. Mi died in Changbanpo, the low position of the Mi family in front of Liu Bei was obviously no longer Guan Yu's opponent, so Mi Fang endured it for so many years, and the resentment towards Guan Yu from the beginning to a fear later, until Guan Yu sat in Jingzhou, Mi Fang was slow to deliver military food at one time, he was afraid that Guan Yu would condemn him, so he simply turned against Guan Yu, reversed out of Jingzhou, and later Guan Yu was defeated and lost Jingzhou and lost his life.
"How about it, General Mi, surrender! I believe that General Mi will not know about this king's character, rather than being angry with Liu Bei, it is better to surrender to this king under the city wall, this king is a person who is only useful, and he will definitely not have any personal feelings for his subordinates! "Liu Mang is very tempted to persuade Mi Fang to surrender, this Yingshang Liu Mang can not fight without fighting, because of time, if Mi Fang surrenders in the city, not only can it save time, but although Mi Fang is not treated by Guan Yu, the Mi family is still a bit important under Liu Ranran, and is one of the core figures of Liu Ranran.
If you know from Mi Fang's mouth that the entire city defense of Yuzhou and some information about Liu Bei are really excellent, it can make Liu Mang capture Yuzhou more quickly, return to Yangzhou in time, and Mi Fang surrenders, Liu Mang can go to fight for Mi Fang's brother Mi Zhu.
Don't tell me that Mi Zhu's sister married Liu Bei, how could he follow Liu Mang, in this troubled world, what can not be sacrificed, Mi Zhu marrying his sister to Liu Bei is a kind of sacrifice, Liu Bei's age can be Mrs. Mi's father, Mrs. Mi is at most about the same age as Miss Lu, if Mi Zhu loves his sister, how can he put his sister's happiness on it, and according to Liu Ranran's kind of life of wanting a career and not a wife, there is no difference between this Mrs. Mi and not, but Liu Mang takes a fancy to Mi Zhu's kind of businessman temperament.
Compared with this era, Shinong industry and commerce, people's misunderstanding and contempt for businessmen, Liu Mang does not agree, some businessmen are profiteers, their country is difficult to make money, but some businessmen are still very good, and want to make one side strong, in addition to the huge industrial system and agricultural system, the business community is also an indispensable and important component. During the Three Kingdoms period, there were only a few big merchants, the Zhen family in Hebei, the Cai family in Jingzhou, and the Mi family in Xuzhou, all of which were business wizards. It's an old fox, if you put them in modern times, as long as you have enough knowledge, you can definitely make some names in the damage, and even turn the clouds and rain is possible.
"Surrender?!" Mi Fang said that it was false if he was not moved, what kind of person is Liu Mang, he is the holy king of the Han Dynasty, although Mi Fang said that he was disdainful. But in fact, Liu Mang's title is very enviable to Mi Fang, their Mi family is still a merchant family, what if they are rich and rival the country, they are not a lowly businessman, why should the Mi family scatter their family wealth, marry a sister with 3,000 servants, and countless jewels. You really think that the Mi family has nowhere to spend their money, right? Even Sun Quan's marriage to his sister has never been so luxurious, a woman in this era is his life for some people, such as Lu Bu, but for some people, she is just a witness to her hegemony, the Mi family spent most of the family property, and even in the end, in order to make Liu Bei's comeback, almost all of the Mi family was contributed. For what? Isn't it just a future, a future that can allow their Mi family to get rid of the lowly position of merchants and turn into a scholar? And Liu Mang's recruitment order is actually not just for the children of the poor family, these businessmen are also very excited, because now the officials are the children of the scholar family first, where is the talent, even if you are a little wasteful, as long as your family affairs are good, there will naturally be big officials to do, and even if you are talented, don't think of getting ahead if you don't have family affairs, if it is not troubled times. You see that Guan Yu is just a seller of dates, Zhang Fei is also a butcher, Liu Bei is just a seller of straw sandals, and on the contrary, I am afraid that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. Tao Qian, Wang Lang and these people will occupy the high positions of the Han Dynasty and become a generation of famous ministers, or a generation of famous generals, instead of the dry bones that have turned into graves now.
"Yes, abandon the city and surrender! You have also seen that more than a dozen county towns have been taken by me after An Fengjin, and it is no longer a problem to just one Yingshang! Surrender to me, I don't just dismantle your subordinates, if your ability is outstanding, you can definitely shine by my side, even if it is average, as long as you go all out, there will be a place for you in that Hall of Heroes, and the Mi family is no longer out of reach to become a scholar! "Liu Mang is really tempting Mi Fang, don't you want to ask for the identity of a businessman, don't you want to become a scholar! Surrender downtown! As long as you open the city gate and follow Liu Mang's boss, the boss will give you a chance, isn't it just a small scholar! To tell the truth, Liu Mang is not Liu Bei, although Liu Bei is called the imperial uncle of the Han Dynasty, but his title has not reached the Cheng dù that can be rewarded, and Liu Mang is different, Liu Mang was the king of Shu before, and now he has the title of a holy king.
Although the Han Dynasty changed the feudal system into a county system, following the system of the Qin Dynasty, the shadow of the feudal system is still there, for example, many places are called a certain country instead of a certain county, in which is the feudal princes surnamed Liu, although those small counties are very small and some have only one city size, but they can still be divided into some scholars.
"Open the gates!" Mi Fang was really moved, especially when Liu Mang said about the Hall of Heroes, Su Fei in it is really a typical example in the world, what kind of person is Su Fei, just a cold general, even if his master Huang Zu is just Jiangxia Taishou, and Su Fei is at most a captain, but such a captain has been made a marquis, so it doesn't make people have ideas.
Mi Fang hesitated, entangled, the eyebrows on his forehead couldn't stop shaking, the soldiers on the side didn't want to fight, it would be the best if they could surrender, and they were all looking at their main general Mi Fang.
Although Mi Fang hesitated and was tempted by Liu Mang, he still had a plan in his heart, a figure appeared in his heart, and this figure was now in the city, and he also had his eldest brother, so Mi Fang gritted his teeth, "Your Highness the Holy King, don't waste your efforts, Mi Fang will not surrender!" ”
"The whole army passed on my military order, and the whole army was on guard and swore to defend the city!" Mi Fang roared loudly.
"My lord treats you like this, and you still don't surrender, you really want to die!" Saying that, Huang Zhong was going to set up a longbow and shoot Mi Fang again, even if he couldn't kill him, he could still make him injured, but he was stopped by Liu Mang.
"Han Shengxiu is going to be angry, our goal has been achieved!" Liu Mang looked at the same young man on the city wall with a smile, the most important thing for young people is a kind of sharpness, and another is ambition, Liu Mang knows in his heart that although he is very comfortable when he is by Lu Bu's side, but what Liu Mang wants is to be independent by himself, not like Lu Bu everywhere is taking care of him, Mi Fang is the same, doesn't he want to ask his brother to take care of him? Don't you want to get rid of being laughed at because of nepotism to achieve the position of a county guard? Of course he thought about it, he wanted to rely on his own strength to get rid of his brother's kind of care, and wanted to be recognized by others, and Liu Mang just wanted to hook Mi Fang's ambition.
And now it seems that it has succeeded, you don't see it, although Mi Fang will not surrender! But the tone of his speech has obviously changed, he used to shout that Liu Mang was a slave with four surnames and a pseudo-king, but now he called His Royal Highness the Holy King, his attitude has changed too much, and this time he should not surrender Mi Fang has scruples in his heart.
"Since you don't surrender, don't blame me! Life and death have a life and wealth in the sky, if you can survive, I will still reuse you, if you can't survive, then you can only hang your life! Liu Mang muttered to himself in a low voice.
"Where is Huang Zhong!"
"The last general!"
"Pass my military order, trebuchet preparation, target Yingshang tower, I want to capture Yingshang before sunset, I can't take it down, come and see you!"
"The last general commands!" Huang Zhong was still a little hesitant, because there were people on the city wall helping Liu Beijun transport things.
"Since you have been on the city wall, there is no distinction between the people and the soldiers, and there is only one word in front of my Liu Mangjun!" Liu Mang did not hesitate, it was because he was too kind that he wasted so much time. Now he's going to get the whip up.
"Boom, boom. Rumble! "Trebuchets were assembled, and boulders began to mount them. War is imminent.
