Chapter 42: Solving the Problem

Later, the strategists around Lu Bu tried their best to dissuade him, telling Lu Bu that if he did this, it would only make the Mi family completely fall to Liu Bei.

At that time, not only will it not be beneficial to Lu Bu at all, but he will be restricted everywhere in Xuzhou, and he may not even be able to get together the grain and grass.

Lu Bu was dissuaded by the strategist Chen Gong, and only then did he cancel the idea of exterminating the Mi family.

But on the surface, although he gave up being the enemy of the Mi family, in private, Lu Bu couldn't swallow this breath, so he let his subordinates go to find trouble with the Mi family.

Because of Lu Bu's subordinates, there happened to be a group of Taishan thieves who had just taken refuge.

This Taishan thief is already famous in Xuzhou, specializing in some robbery and robbery, the most powerful thing in the Mi family is the caravan, then Lu Bu asked his Taishan thieves to go to the trouble of the Mi family's caravan.

With Lu Bu, the Xuzhou pastor, behind his back, those Taishan thieves were happy, and they were already familiar with the road and did something to kill people and sell goods.

This is what Yuan Yao encountered at the beginning.

And this is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened, in the past half a month, the Mi family's caravans have been robbed by mountain bandits seven or eight times in various parts of Xuzhou.

Not only did they lose tens of millions of dollars in goods, but they also killed and injured many people and horses, and just compensating these dead guards and coachmen consumed a lot of money for the Mi family.

This is also the reason why the caravans sent out by the Mi family recently have increased the number of guards.

And this time it was even worse, even Donghai County, only a few dozen miles away from Mijiawu Fort, was attacked by mountain bandits, which shows how arrogant the Taishan thieves under Lu Bu were.

Now the Mi family is a headache, although the additional guards can effectively solve the problem of mountain bandits, but after all, the number of guards is small, so that the cost of increased manpower will increase, and the profits of the Mi caravan will be reduced.

After a trip to commercial trade, sometimes it is not very profitable, which greatly affects the business of the Mi family, and the loss of a month is only afraid of no less than 10 million dollars.

Mi Zhu is still thinking about how to deal with the next mountain bandits, and he has to come up with a way to solve the root cause.

After Yuan Yao listened to Mi Zhu's description, he smiled dumbly, in his calculations, Mi Zhu did not have any grudge with Lu Bu, but the fault was that Mi Zhu and Liu Bei had a very close relationship.

So indirectly made Lu Bu's relationship with the Mi family worse.

If you want to cure this problem, you have to find Lu Bu in the end.

Since he was going to find Lu Bu, Yuan Yao had the ability to help the Mi family solve this trouble.

His next target was to go to Xiapi City and see Lu Bu.

Thinking of this, without waiting for Mi Zhu to finish speaking, Yuan Yao spoke directly.

"Master of the Mi family, it turns out that this is the case, if you don't dislike it, the kid may be able to help you solve this trouble."

When Mi Zhu heard Yuan Yao say this, his face was shocked, as if he had heard it wrong.

With a look of ecstasy on his face, he hurriedly asked Yuan Yao.

"Is that true?!"

"I went to Xuzhou this time, firstly, I wanted to talk to the master of the Mi family about buying grain, and secondly, I was ordered to go to Xuzhou to meet Lu Bu.

"I think I can help you turn the tide of war."

After getting Yuan Yao's affirmative answer, Mi Zhu, who had a frown on his face, suddenly became happy.

"Great, great, if Zichu you can really help our Mi family solve this trouble, then it will really be a great favor to my Mi family."

"Quick, let the second brother come to see me."

Mi Zhu couldn't wait to shout to the little guy in the back.

The little guy nodded at once, hurried down, and called someone to go.

Soon a person came to the meeting room with hurried steps.

Before the man arrived, he heard the voice.

"Big brother, are you looking for me?"

The person who came was Mi Zhu's second brother Mi Fang.

Mi Fang and Mi Zhu are slightly similar, but they are younger, dressed more freely, and wearing leather armor, they don't look like a Confucian student, but a bit like a general on the battlefield.

"Second brother, you're here, hurry up, I'll introduce you."

At that moment, Mi Zhu introduced his brother Mi Fang to Yuan Yao.

In fact, without Mi Zhu's introduction, Yuan Yao's mind automatically searched for some information about Mi Fang.

Although it is not much, in general, Yuan Yao actually does not have much affection for Mi Fang.

The most important thing, of course, is that this guy directly changed the historical trend of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

When Guan Yu was in shock to China, when LΓΌ Meng attacked Jingzhou, he did not choose to resist, but chose to surrender Kaicheng. This move eventually led to Guan Yu's defeat and killing, and also led to the beginning of the decline of Shu.

Although Yuan Yao is not a fan of Guan Yu and Liu Bei, he still feels shameful about Mi Fang's behavior.

Disdain is contempt, at this moment, Yuan Yao still can't show it.

After another greeting, the two can be regarded as acquaintances.

"Zichu, I heard that you are going to Xiapi City this time, and you are willing to intercede with Lu Bu for my Mi family, and turn the conflict into jade silk, I can't go, so I have to go by my brother Mi Fang."

"At that time, I will order him to prepare some generous gifts, as long as I can ease the relationship with Lu Bu, it will be great."

As the head of the family, Mi Zhu naturally couldn't easily leave the East China Sea, and sent his second brother Mi Fang over, which was also important to this matter.

When Yuan Yao saw this, where would he refuse.

"That's very good."

After everything was negotiated, Mi Zhu invited Yuan Yao to have dinner in the mansion, and Yuan Yao happily went to the appointment.

Mi Zhu also used the local famous dishes of Xuzhou to entertain Yuan Yao, although he tasted it, although it did not have the taste of later generations, it also had a unique flavor.

After three rounds of drinking, Yuan Yao suddenly remembered the third prince of Mi and asked Mi Zhu casually.

"The head of the Mi family, what about the third son of Mi, why haven't you seen it today?"

"Oh? When I heard that he had been robbed by the mountains, she was so worried that she would punish him for thinking about it. ”

Yuan Yao smiled dumbly, so he didn't ask more.

This dinner lasted until midnight, and after Yuan Yao was a little drunk, he was arranged to stay in the Mi family's dock for one night.

When it was over, Yuan Yao followed the servants of the Mi family and was about to leave the Mi Mansion, but at the corner of the corridor in the mansion, he heard a melodious piano sound.

The sound of the piano is delicate and euphemistic.

Even if Yuan Yao, who was a little drunk, heard the sound of the piano, he couldn't help but stop.

Looking into the small attic of the courtyard, by the pool under the moon, a woman was sitting alone on the railing, plucking the strings.
