Chen Gui supported Xun Zhen in order to preserve the vitality of Xuzhou scholars, but not all Xuzhou scholars had such a "vision", and more chose to support Xun Zhen just for their own interests. Copy the URL to visit http://%77%77%77%2e%76%6f%64%74%77%2e%63%6f%6d

The day after Chen Deng returned home, his younger brother, Mi Fang, came to the state, and the two brothers met in the secret room, and also discussed the matter of "Wen Xunzhen preparing for the war".

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were about the same age, and they were close in age. The two brothers had a very good relationship. They usually discussed everything. The decision of Mi Zhu to sell agricultural implements, grain, and iron to Xunzhen was the main issue. It was Mi Zhu's own decision, but it also had Mi Fang's approval and support.

The Mi family has cultivated goods from generation to generation. The assets are huge and the money is more, which is naturally conducive to learning literature and martial arts. Brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are both civil and military talents. They are both proficient in riding and archery, so although their family is called the family of merchants, they are actually no different from the children of the gentry, and even stronger than most of the children of the gentry.

Mi Fang's character Zifang, Mi Zhu called his word and said: "Zifang, around Zhengdan, I heard something from the mansion, saying that Xunhou has frequently mobilized his ministries recently, and he has transferred many elite troops to the western front line of Guangling County. It has the intention of entering the army in Xiapi."

Mi Fang is not surprised by this.

Xun Zhen had a plan for Xiapi, and since Sun Jian expressed Yue Jin as the chancellor of Xiapi last year, almost everyone in the circle of Xuzhou scholars has long known. The only thing that surprised Mi Fang was that it took so long for Xun Zhen to start preparing to attack Xiapi.

Mi Fang said: "Xunhou has been interested in Xiapi for a long time. I thought he would do it last year, but I don't think he has the patience to delay it until now."

"Xunhou has always acted cautiously. If he is not fully prepared, he will definitely not do it."

Soon after Xun Zhen arrived at Guangling, Mi Zhu started business with Xun Zhen, and after fighting with Xun Zhen for so long, Mi Zhu already knew quite a bit about Xun Zhen's behavior.

Mi Fang nodded and said, "Brother, what you said is quite right. Last winter, Marquis Xun bought a large amount of grain from my house in the name of 'Guangling lacks grain and helps the people for the winter'. I heard that at the end of last year, that is, Last month, Pengcheng also sold a large amount of grain and iron to Marquis Xun.... Now it seems that where is it for the people to spend the winter? Marquis Xun is clearly preparing grain for the war."

"good."

Seeing Mi Zhu frowning slightly, as if she had something on her mind, Mi Fang knew what he was thinking, and asked with a smile, "Are you worried about this, brother?"

"I'm not worried about Marquis Xun."

"That is?"

"Xiapi is not an opponent of Guangling. Once Xunhou marches into Xiapi, Fang Bo will rush to help him, and once Fang Fang rushes to help, Xuzhou will be plunged into war. Wait until that moment?"

"how?"

"My family and Xunhou have done business for so long. Many grains, iron, armor and equipment are bought from my family by Xunhou. If Fang Bozhan is disadvantaged, I am worried that he will vent his anger on my family!"

This concern of Mi Zhu is by no means unnecessary. In order to stabilize the foundation of his rule and win the hearts of scholars who can be obtained, Tao Qian can turn a blind eye to the matter of "Mi Zhu and Xun Zhen doing business", but Once Xun Zhen and Tao Qian go to war, and if Tao Qian loses on the battlefield, then Tao Qian will probably take the opportunity to vent "the long-standing dissatisfaction with the Mi family" and pour out his anger on Mi Zhu, Even the body of the Mi family.

Mi Fang hesitated and said, "Isn't it?"

Mi Zhu said, "My brother doesn't know about the situation in the state today."

"Brother please enlighten me."

"Fang Bo is strong, and the scholars in the state are already very dissatisfied with him. This matter is known to my brother."

"Yes, I know that."

"Marquis Xun is gentle and gentle, and the scholars of Guangling praised his virtue. My brother also knows about this."

"Yes, I know that too."

"Therefore, upon hearing that Marquis Xun will take down Pi, those with discerning eyes will know that Marquis Xun must be in Xuzhou. In today's prefecture, many scholars are really happy about it."

"So what? We can only blame Uncle Fang for acting too rigidly. What does it have to do with my family?"

"Fang Bo is like a victory, but that's fine. If there is a small defeat, the scholars in the prefecture will become more and more eccentric. Until then, ..., Zi Fang, what do you think Fang Bo will do?"

Mi Fang was startled and said, "Brother, what do you mean?"

"I'm deeply afraid that Uncle Fang will kill the chickens and show the monkeys!"

Although the sale of grain, iron and other items by the Mi family to Xun Zhen was a matter before the war, if they were investigated, they could be said to be "funding the enemy". This excuse punished the Mi family. It could not only gain the Mi family's billions of assets and enrich the military, but also kill chickens and set an example, and intimidate those scholars who were disloyal. Let me ask: Why is Tao Qian not happy?

Mi Fang couldn't sit still, stood up from the seat, and walked around the room in panic. After thinking about it, she had no idea, so she asked Mi Zhu, "Brother, do you have any countermeasures?"

"Now there is only one way."

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"Qin Wenbiao came to see me once a few years ago. Although he didn't say it clearly, I could hear from his style: If Xunhou wins Xuzhou, he will definitely not treat my family badly."

"This..., is it believable?"

"How can it be unbelievable?"

Mi Fang asked a question subconsciously, and when she heard Mi Zhu's rhetorical question, she knew that she had asked the wrong question. With the relationship between the Mi family and Xun Zhen, the wealth of the Mi family, and the status of the Mi family in Xuzhou, the most important thing was What's more, with Xun Zhen's long-term credit, Qin Song's words "Xun Zhen will never treat the Mi family badly" must be credible.

Mi Fang hesitated a bit, and said, "Although Fang Bo is hated by the people of the state, but he has strong troops and strong horses, and has three counties, and Xunhou lacks both soldiers and land, it is hard to say whether the outcome will be won or lost. Hou finally lost?"

"Marquis Xun has Sun Jian to help him outside, and we help him inside, so how can he be defeated?"

"Only relying on my family's help may not be of much use."

"It's not just my family, I've been gathering with my colleagues in the state government these few days, and everyone who discusses this matter has their hearts on Xunhou."

"But the military power is not in my hands."

"You may not know it yet. During Zhengdan, Uncle Fang summoned Zang Ba. I heard that he wanted to send troops from Mount Tai to Xiapi, but he was rejected by Zang Ba. There is a man under Xunhou's tent, whose name is Cheng Jia, you know. Is this person?"

"Of course I know."

"Cheng Jia, he went to see Zang Ba a long time ago. At the end of last year, he went to Langya again. Why he went is self-evident."

"So Zang Ba rejected Uncle Fang's transfer?"

"Although I don't know what benefits Xunhou has promised Zang Ba, but with me, these two things are always related."

Mi Fang was overjoyed and said, "If the soldiers of Mount Tai are willing to help Xunhou, Xuzhou will change hands!"

Mi Zhu shook his head and said, "Zang Ba may not help Marquis Xun."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Zang Ba has a large number of troops, the tigers are in the north of the state, and the Taishan mountain is in the west. The advance and retreat are free, and the situation has been established. Whether Fang Bo or Xunhou, no matter who is in charge of Xuzhou, can't help but acquiesce to his existence. I Thinking, what he should be playing is the idea of ​​sitting on the sidelines and looking for opportunities to expand."

Mi Zhu guessed right, and Zang Ba's fight was indeed the idea.

Mi Fang stood at the door, lowered her head to think for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Even so, Xun Hou's chances of winning have greatly increased."

"It's ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ that if Mount Tai's troops don't move, Fang Bo is equivalent to breaking his arm first. If he breaks his arm, the people of Fuzhou will be distracted, and Xunhou will surely win!"

"Since this is the case, let's deal with this change according to Brother A's method!"

Although Mi Zhu's method was not bluntly stated, he made it clear through the few words just now, that is to take refuge in Xun Zhen.

The reason why Mi Zhu decided to take refuge with Xun Zhen was not only because he was "unrighteous" and worried that Tao Qian would "kill the chicken to warn the monkey", but there was actually another reason.

He said to Mi Fang: "Today is in chaos, when there is a hero who will order the world, I see Marquis Xun, who will actually order the world. Jia Zhe: Xia Jia Cai, Zhong Jia Ming, Shang Jia Guo. You and my brother are changing the world at this time. , how can she be mediocre for a long time? I must not make Qin Buwei special in beauty!"

Mi Fang was very excited by what Mi Zhu said, and said loudly, "That's right! Brother A is very right! You and my brother must not be mediocre for a long time."

His heart was full of admiration, and his voice was so loud that Mi Zhu was startled.

Mi Zhu hurriedly got up, came to the door, opened the door and looked out, seeing that there was no one around, he was relieved, turned around, and said to Mi Fang, "Be quiet!"
