Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers left Tancheng and returned to their hometown of Qu County.

After the Mizhu brothers returned, they secretly summoned the families, landlords, and merchants of Qu County to conspire with each other.

Mi Fang was relieved of his military power by Tao Qian after only one soldier, and became more and more dissatisfied with Tao Qian, instigating his brother Mi Zhu to betray Tao Qian and take refuge in Langya Xiang Chu Zimou.

Compared with Tao Qian's snub to him, Chu Tian called Mi Fang a brother and respected him as a guest, which won Mi Fang's favor.

The Mi family is a wealthy merchant in Xuzhou, and Qu County is a seaside place, producing salt and fish, which can be used for foreign trade. The Mi family's influence here is huge.

There are thousands of servants of the Mi family, and this is still in Qu County.

If in the entire Xuzhou, there are tens of thousands of servants of the Mi family, it is easy to form a loose army.

"We can send doormen and servants to attack the county government and occupy Qu County. Then he used the barracks in Qu County to transfer the servants to infantry, archers, and cavalry, and echoed with Licheng to dedicate half of the East China Sea Kingdom to the Langya Kingdom. In this way, Chu Zimou will definitely reuse our Mi family in the future, and he may not lose the position of marquis in the future. ”

Mi Fang is still persuading Mi Zhu to make Mi Zhu firm in his determination.

Mi Zhu thought about it again and again, and finally moved for Mi Fang: "Okay, let's secretly recruit 5,000 soldiers and horses, and when Chu Zimou wins the decisive battle with the Zhou Mu Lord, we will attack Qu County and nearby villages and towns to respond to Chu Zimou." ”

"Brother, the icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow. If Chu Zimou had already won, it would be a matter of time before he divided his troops to pacify the counties, and it would be too late for us to raise troops again! We are now raising troops and dividing our troops to plunder the nearby villages, towns and county seats, which can hit the morale of the Xuzhou army and cause them to panic! ”

"Let me think about it again. If we are not careful, the accumulation of so many generations of our Mi family will disappear. ”

Mi Zhu is not the same as the impulsive Mi Fang.

He has to look at the problem from the standpoint of the whole family, and he can't let the inheritance left by his ancestors be buried because of his misjudgment. He also has a young sister to take care of.

"Master, the Langya National Sailor defeated the Xuzhou Sailor at the Yi River, burned more than 100 ships, captured hundreds, and lost 30,000 grains to the Xuzhou Sailor!"

The Mi family's Yiren guest was well-informed, and soon learned about the confrontation between the Langya National Water Division and the Xuzhou Water Master on the Yi River.

Langya National Sailor won a big victory!

"Brother, the Langya flag has been victorious, and they have proven that they have the ability to defeat the state pastor! Without further ado! ”

Mi Fang took the opportunity to urge Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu's expression struggled a little, and finally said: "Tonight, we will raise troops to attack Qu County." I personally spent money to get the lieutenant of Qu County to join us. ”

"I'm willing to lead the troops myself!"

Mi Fang knew that Mi Zhu agreed to come down, and things would be easy to do. With Mi Zhu's influence and financial resources in Qu County, as long as there is money, it seems that there is really nothing unfair.

You can even spend money to make the commander of the soldiers and horses in Qu County abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

That night, there was a rebellion in the prosperous Qu County, and it was Mi Zhu, the richest local businessman, who rebelled, and it was his brother Mi Fang who led the troops to occupy the county government of Qu County......

For Mi Zhu to rebel, all the people in Qu County felt incredible. With the financial resources of the Mi family, it is not a problem to buy half of Qu County.

Soon they knew the reason for the rebellion of the Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers—they declared that Qu County was out of the direct control of Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou, and that Qu County was loyal to Langya Xiang and Fubo's general Chu Zimou.

The people of Qu County were once again shocked by Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's decision, they did not expect that Mi Zhu and Mi Fang would choose to join the camp of Langya when the situation in Xuzhou was uncertain.

You must know that at this time, as a family with great influence, the best outcome is to stay on the sidelines.

When a wallhead is the best choice, no matter which side wins, there is no loss.

Not to mention that now the 200,000 coalition troops in Xuzhou are huge, and the Xuzhou coalition forces have the upper hand, and Mi Zhu and Mi Fang actually chose the camp of Langya State, which seems to be at a disadvantage.

Once the Mi family's choice fails, Tao Qian will definitely try to suppress them, and the Mi family will be finished in the future. Their properties in various counties will also be confiscated by Tao Qian, which can be described as a heavy loss.

"It's a gamble. If you win the bet, you may be able to seal the marquis in the future, but if you lose the bet, you will go bankrupt. ”

Mi Zhu regretted listening to Mi Fang's instigation, but as a businessman, he also knew that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit.

At the risk of bankruptcy, he wanted to try it and see if he could get a chance to become a marquis. Farmers and businessmen, merchants should be ranked behind the soldiers.

Following Tao Qian, Tao Qian is old and unable to chase the Central Plains, and he may be a state pastor for the rest of his life, while Chu Zimou is young and promising, strong and strong, and has no wife, and his future position may not be just Xuzhou Mu.

After careful consideration, Mi Zhu made up his mind, and even had other ideas. If Chu Zimou becomes a state pastor, he can marry his sister to him as the main family, in case Chu Zimou can succeed in the future, then wouldn't the Mi family directly become a relative?

He Jin, as a butcher, can also be a general of the Han Dynasty by virtue of his status as a relative, so the Mi family can also be among the ranks of the official family by virtue of the relationship of his relatives, and bid farewell to the identity of a businessman.

This is just Mi Zhu's idea, and in order to change the class, the conservative Mi Zhu must make a bold investment.

"Let me plot for Chu Zi to conquer the city, maybe I can become a general in the future!"

Mi Fang took command of a few thousand servant troops and sent them to the barracks for transfer and became professional soldiers. He planned to lead these thousands of people to sweep the eastern part of the East China Sea Kingdom and put pressure on Tao Qian.

The news that the Mi family betrayed Tao Qian and openly supported Chu Zimou spread throughout Xuzhou, causing a sensation in Xuzhou again. With the addition of Qu County this time, Langya State already owns the land of four counties in the East China Sea Kingdom, and is rapidly devouring the entire Xuzhou!

The thirteen counties of Langya Kingdom, plus the four counties of the East China Sea Kingdom belonging to the Langya Kingdom, Chutian now has the territory of 17 counties!

"The Mi family really had a secret relationship with Langya, no wonder they would be ostracized by the state pastor, so it was. Now it seems that our Chen family should make a decision as soon as possible? ”

The Chen family in Xuzhou, Chen Jue, Chen Deng, father and son, were surprised that the Mi family suddenly stood on Chutian's side. After calming down, they couldn't help but hesitate, because they couldn't judge who would win the decisive battle between the main forces of the Langya Kingdom and the Xuzhou coalition army this time.

The Langya Kingdom has a small number of troops, but it once had a record of defeating more than 100,000 coalition troops with the second- and third-line defenders.

The Xuzhou army has a large number of troops, and this time the incompetent Cao Bao was replaced with Xiang Yan, Yang Ye, and Song Jiang.

"Let's wait and see, once it's not good, there will always be an opportunity to make meritorious contributions."

Out of prudence, Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son decided to wait and see what might happen near Liangshan Town.

Unlike the Mi family, they don't have too deep a friendship with Chutian, so naturally they can't talk about the Mi family's favorability.

The rest of the Xuzhou family are also watching.

If the situation changes, they may change the flag, which is normal for the Maison.

"The Mi family really betrayed me! Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

Tao Qian was greatly annoyed when he received that the Mi family had raised troops in Qu County in response to Chutian's incident, and coughed violently.

Mi Fang, the self-proclaimed vanguard general of the rebellion and the unparalleled general of the Langya Kingdom, led his troops to attack the villages and towns near Qu County that were still loyal to Tao Qian, and even had a tendency to attack Xiapi to the west!

With the huge influence of the Mi family in the area of Qu County, basically the soldiers pointed out, all of them looked forward to the wind.

In just three days, six towns and thirty villages in Qu County were captured by Mi Fang.

The lords of Xuzhou looked at each other, and they couldn't imagine that the neglected Mi Fang would be so fierce and directly swept a rich county in the East China Sea.

"Just a Mi Fang, he still dares to call himself a peerless general."

"Don't worry about Mi Fang, with his ability, at most, he is just wandering around Qu County. I suspect that he can conquer the villages and towns near Qu County, entirely by virtue of Mi Zhu's influence. ”

"As long as we win the victory on the main battlefield, we can send a random general to lead tens of thousands of soldiers in the future, and we can completely quell the uprising of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang. Wait for the two brothers to be caught and divide up their family property and Mrs. Mi, what do you think? ”

"It is said that all the properties of the Mi family are worth millions of silver, which is a huge amount of money."

Many lords of Xuzhou know that the Mi family is rich and rivals the country, and they have long coveted the property of the Mi family, and this time the Mi family supports Chutian, so once Chutian is defeated, the Mi family's property will become the bag of the lords of Xuzhou.

Even Mrs. Mi may be snatched away.

It all depends on the battle related to the fate of Xuzhou, who is the victorious side.

"The Mi family is already interesting enough."

Chu Tian learned of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's choice, and knew that the Mi family had done their best, and they would at least hold back part of Tao Qian's troops and hit the morale of Tao Qian's army.

Compared with other Xuzhou families who are still waiting, the Mi family's choice is not brave.

"After winning, we will give the Mi family what they want. Won't it be a feudal marquis in the future? The entire lord world is so vast, it doesn't matter if you have a few more marquises. ”

Chu Tian knew that what the Mi family wanted was political status, and the most attractive to them was undoubtedly the feudal marquis.

The premise is that Chu Tian can win.

If it fails, the Mi family will be like Chu Tian, and may have to flee to other places in order to make a comeback.

Chu Tian came out of the military tent and saw the camp of the 200,000 army opposite, its tent was black and oppressive, and there was no end in sight.

The entire 200,000 troops on the opposite side are more than ten miles away from the width of the battlefield alone!

Such a vast battlefield has strict requirements for the ability of the commander.

"Xiang Yan, the commander on the other side, really has the ability to bring bonuses to more than 100,000 infantry and archers?"

Chu Tian learned that the other party's coach was Xiang Yan, and probably deduced the other party's command ability.

Xiang Yan defeated the Qin general Li Xin and was defeated by the Qin general Wang Qian, and may be somewhere in between. As for Xiang Yan, who is an infantry general, he should not be as good as Zhou Yafu, who is also an infantry general.

According to the previous tactics, Chu Tian would let Zhou Yafu hold in the middle, and then use a large number of cavalry generals to break through the two wings and copy the rear road.

This time, there were more than 20,000 cavalry on the opposite side, and Yang Ye served as the cavalry captain, and the tactics used in the past may be ineffective.

Fortunately, Chu Tian had a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry in his hands, which was a heavy cavalry that even Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian and the four generals of Jiangdong had to retreat.

Xue Rengui followed Chutian's instructions and went to provoke the Xuzhou coalition army every day.

No one in the Xuzhou coalition army dared to fight, and even the invincible lord of Yang did not allow him to go into battle.

The lords of the entire Eastern Han region knew that Chutian's generals could defeat Lu Bu under the Tiger Prison Pass, and they were unstoppable, and it was just unpleasant to go head-to-head with the generals of Langya State.

The 200,000 troops in Xuzhou dared to fight because no generals dared to fight, and their morale was somewhat affected.

Coupled with the burning of the ships carrying grain and the Mizhu and Mifang uprisings, the morale of the 200,000-strong army was even lowered.

The current situation is favorable to the Langya Kingdom, and Chu Tian can't wait to launch a decisive battle.

"My lord, Xiang Yan, the commander of the Xuzhou Coalition Army, has issued a war letter and invites us to fight tomorrow!"

"Xiang Yan took the initiative to fight, which is exactly what I want."

Chutian found Fang Xuanling and Lu Zhi, and the three of them judged the situation and thought that there was no problem with Xiang Yan in a decisive battle on the plains near Liangshan Town.

It is impossible for the surrounding plains to have a large number of ambushes, and there is no possibility for Xiang Yan to set up an ambush, basically relying on the real strength of both sides to fight each other.

The next day, the 60,000 Langya army and the 200,000 army confronted each other in the plain south of Liangshan Town.

Chu Tian squinted his eyes and looked at the other party's 200,000 army.

The number of troops is not always better, and if you don't have a qualified commander, the more troops you command, will only lead to large-scale chaos and even trampling.

Han Xin ordered troops, the more the merrier.

But not all of them are Han Shin.

Han Xin once said that Liu Bang only commanded 100,000 people to death.

"Although I don't know what Xiang Yan's hole cards are, but the other party lacks the ability to command 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will tear their phalanx."

Chu Tian ordered Hua Xiong's Xiliang Iron Cavalry to prepare to assault the left flank of the opposing infantry phalanx, crush the left flank, and then break through.

"Chu Zimou, the second- and third-line city defenders who lost to you last time were really a great shame, but this time we also have famous generals and military advantages, how should you deal with it?"

The lords of Xuzhou and Tao Qian stood on a high place, and four thousand elite Danyang soldiers guarded this group of Xuzhou bigwigs.

They want to divide the victory and defeat with Chu Zi today.

This time, Chu Zimou used the main force, and they also had famous generals who could compete with Chu Tian, as well as more soldiers and horses.

The winner or defeat is unknown.

Ju County, Xue Yue, who is responsible for collecting intelligence through the player's meticulous work, sits in town, and supervises the transportation of food and weapons to the front line by Xiang Yong.

A free player was in too much of a hurry, so he almost climbed into the county office with his hands and feet: "President, our people spent a hundred taels of silver to get an urgent piece of information!" ”

"It's cool, I've received an extremely important piece of information here! If the intelligence is true, then we are being calculated! The lord is fighting with the Xuzhou army outside the city, and it is difficult to receive the news, even if he has the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, he will be defeated nine times out of ten, and even die in battle......! ”

Xia Cheng Lord's Mansion, the summer of the housekeeper looked at the information reported by Xue Yue, and his face gradually turned pale.
