When Taishan led more than 1,000 people from his headquarters and 5,000 elite soldiers selected by Guan Wei from the Xuzhou camp to walk out of Xuzhou City, he unexpectedly saw three people waiting for him at the city gate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThese three people are Mi Zhu, Mi Fang brothers and Chen Deng who Taishan once pretended to recommend to Tao Qian.

Seeing Taishan leading the army out of the city, Chen Deng took the lead and said: "Taishan Gong, it's so calculating." A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, admire and admire!"

Hearing Chen Deng's scheming, Taishan hurriedly rolled off the horse, walked quickly to Chen Deng and the other three, and bowed to the three of them for a long time, and then said with some embarrassment: "I know that these small means can't hide from the three of them." It's not a secret, Ugong Zhaolie will lead a large army sooner or later, Xuzhou is already in danger, it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, and the three of them should also consider retreating. ”

As a generation of heroes, Taishan knows what kind of people to talk to and what to say. The set of benevolence, righteousness and morality on weekdays is unlikely to work for the three people in front of them, because among these three people, Chen Deng is from a famous scholar family, and the Mizhu brothers are from rich businessmen, all of whom have seen the world, and are not as easy to be instigated as the lowest people. With such a person, simply opening the skylight and saying bright words may win their hearts more, at least leaving them with a bright and upright image.

Mi Zhu sighed, and arched his hand and said, "Taishan Gong, the three of us are not stopping you. I want to ask you, may I ask Taishan Gong, how to deal with the matter of Xuzhou in the future?"

Taishan prevaricated and replied: "The three are all famous people in Xuzhou, who have lived in Xuzhou for a long time, and in the matter of Xuzhou, the three should be clearer than so." ”

Chen Deng waved his hand and said: "Taishan Gong, I respect you as a hero, so I really came to ask you for advice, and I hope that Taishan Gong will not shirk!"

saw Chen Deng say it to death. Taishan is not good at prevaricating, so he thought about it and said: "The three of them are all famous people in Xuzhou, and they must have expected the fate of Xuzhou in their hearts. After all, a certain person has lived in Xuzhou for two years, and he really can't bear to see the scene of the people of Xuzhou being miserable. ”

After hearing these words, Mi Fang's body shook and asked, "Taishan Gong, is there really no room for recovery in the matter?"

Taishan shook his head slowly but firmly, and said with a sigh: "Three, Zhang Min assassinated Ugong Terulie's father, since ancient times, the hatred of killing his father is not shared, this is a truth that ordinary people understand, not to mention Ugong Terulie who is majestic in the Central Plains? Ugong Terulie will definitely come to attack Xuzhou sooner or later, and with Unomiya Terulie's strength, Xuzhou will be defeated! The three of them will either stoop to serve Ugong Teruje. Either burn with Xuzhou jade, there is no third way to go, unless ......"

"Unless what?" asked the impatient Mi Fang again.

Tarzan pretended to laugh at himself and said, "Forget it, don't say it." The three of them are different from a certain person, they are all upright people, and they must not leave Xuzhou. ”

Chen Deng thought for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Taishan Gong, can you say a word from your heart and know something, why do you refuse to live and die with Xuzhou? ”

Tarzan put away a self-deprecating smile. Changing into a righteous and awe-inspiring look, he replied: "Now that Yuan Bai is arrogant and claims to be the Son of Heaven, even if Yuan Bai is finally strangled by the princes of all walks of life, how do you know that there will be no second or third Yuan Bai in the future? Therefore, a certain person must be left useful, so that he can fight against Yuan Bai now, and fight against those latecomers who follow Yuan Bai's example in the future! This is the reason why a certain person left Xuzhou!"

Guan Wei and Zhang Wu are like this, and Chen Deng is the same; most of the people who have heard Taishan's exposition will be moved by the ambition expressed by Taishan. This is what Taishan is best at, he can speak with a sense of responsibility, coupled with Taishan's long-standing use of small favors everywhere to buy people's hearts, the accumulated name of benevolence and righteousness, it is easy for people to believe his words.

In this world, the dominant direction of people's public opinion is in the hands of the scholars and literati. None of them have experienced the poverty of the people at the bottom, so they cannot understand the bitterness and helplessness of the poor people at all. As we all know, before Taishan raised the army, he made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes, and he had a deep understanding of the lives of the poor people. He knows that those at the bottom, as long as you hand them a bowl of rice and a steamed bun at the right time, you can make them sing praises for you all their lives. Their praises slowly spread to the ears of those scholars and scribes, those scholars and scribes do not distinguish between truth and falsehood, with consistent exaggerated techniques, after rendering the benevolence and righteousness of Mount Tai, in the feedback to more people, in the long run, it has formed the name of benevolence and righteousness of Mount Tai now.

With the halo of the name of benevolence and righteousness, Mount Tai in the eyes of others, every word and deed is from the perspective of benevolence and righteousness, even if he leaves Xuzhou at such a moment of crisis, regardless of Tao Qian's kindness, regardless of the lives of millions of people in Xuzhou, Mount Tai can also stand on the commanding heights of morality, with a fluttering sentence "stay useful body, to ask for no ministers" as an explanation, and tried and tested.

After listening to Taishan's words, although Chen Deng and the three of them were not very moved, they were also convinced. In their opinion, a mere Xuzhou is indeed nothing compared to Taishan's ambition to shoulder the safety of the world. Taishan's play on the spot once again achieved good results, leaving Chen Deng and the three silent.

After a long time, Chen Deng let out a long sigh, and said to Taishan: "Taishan Gong, when Yuan Ding and others set up an ambush to ambush Yuan Junhou, it was Tao Yuanjun's letter to Yuanjun Hou, and afterwards, Taishan Gong rushed to Xuzhou to help Tao Yuanjun fight against Yuan Ding and others, and he had already saved Xuzhou once. This time, whether it is public or private, Deng is really shameless to keep Taishan. Farewell!" As he spoke, Chen Deng shook his head and sighed as he walked towards the city of Xuzhou.

After Chen Deng left, Mi Zhu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly said to Taishan: "Taishan Gong, this is going to Jianghuai, the future is dangerous, with the men and horses under Taishan Gong, I am afraid it is not Yuan Bai's enemy." If Taishan Gong does not give up, Mi Zhu is willing to scatter all his wealth. to help Taishan Gong!"

Mi Fang on the side heard this, and said in shock: "Big brother, you ......" Mi Zhu hurriedly turned his head and gestured to Mi Zhu with his eyes. Mi Fang didn't understand what Mi Zhu meant, but Taishan did. It seems that this Mi Zhu is also an understanding person, he knows that staying in Xuzhou, the final result can only be killed or forced to take refuge in Ugong Zhaolie, rather than that, it is better to take the initiative to take refuge in Mount Tai now. If Mount Tai can achieve a career in the future, Mi Zhu can be regarded as a minister of the dragon.

Mi Zhu's courage and determination also won the favor of Taishan, so. Taishan was overjoyed, stretched out his hand to hold Mi Zhu's hands, and said with a smile: "If Mi Zizhong helps, it will be a great thing!" It's not the funding of Mi Zhu's family wealth, although that money is also very important to Taishan, but Taishan still values Mi Zhu more. Under Tarzan. There is no shortage of military generals, the older generation of Guan Wei and Zhang Wu, the Mesozoic Dynasty has Chen Zhi and others, the younger generation has the righteous son Yuan Feng, Guan Wei's son Guan Ping, and in a few years, Guan Wei's second son Guan Xing and Zhang Wu's son Zhang Bao grow up, and they are two tiger generals. But Taishan's weakness is the shortage of strategists. So far, Taishan only has Jian Yong, Sun Gan, these two strategists, and they are not the best talents, if you can get Mi Zhu's investment, it will greatly make up for Taishan's shortcomings in strategists.

The meaning of Taishan's words, Mi Zhu naturally understood, he turned his head to look at Taishan's headquarters, and said in a low voice: "Lord, these veterans are the elite of the rest of the battle, but unfortunately the weapons and equipment are too poor, please give me two days, after two days, I will make these horses look new." Mi Zhu said this, obviously he had officially recognized Mount Tai as the master, and actively planned armaments and materials for Mount Tai. Hearing his eldest brother say this, Mi Fang reacted, the eldest brother is leaving Xuzhou and following Mount Tai! In this regard, Mi Fang has no objections, staying in Xuzhou is a dead end, following Mount Tai's side, no matter how bad it is, there is still a way to live.

Taishan smiled and said to Mi Zhu: "Zizhong, I am at the foot of the mountain fifty miles away, waiting for you to come in two days!" After saying a few more words, the Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers said goodbye and left. After the two left, Tarzan's face spread a smug smile. For so many years, Taishan has been trying to buy people's hearts everywhere, and now, at last, it has begun to pay off! Originally, seeing Chen Deng and the three of them appear outside the city, Taishan just wanted to make a scene and fool the three of them in order to leave Xuzhou smoothly, but he didn't expect to get Mi Zhu's investment by accident, which is really cool.

Not far away, Zhang Wu looked at Taishan's smiling face, and asked Guan Wei suspiciously: "Second brother, what is the eldest brother laughing at alone?" Guan Wei stroked his long beard and smiled: "Third brother, I usually ask you to study more, but you just don't listen." You can't even see such a simple thing, tell you that Brother Mizhu is ready to serve the eldest brother. ”

The Mi family was born as a wealthy businessman and a big family in Xuzhou, and getting the investment of the Mi Zhu brothers is equivalent to getting a large amount of wealth, so that recruiting troops and expanding strength will be guaranteed. With Zhang Wu's thick nerves, he could only think of so much. Unlike Zhang Wu, Guan Wei and Chen Zhi glanced at each other, both of them saw joy in each other's eyes, and they knew that Mi Zhu's investment was caused by Taishan's long-term reputation. This means that the good reputation that Taishan usually accumulates has begun to play a role.
