Han Dao world

Chapter 591 Generous Wang Lang
In the middle of the night, Mi Zhu finally saw Wang Lang.

After wandering for several years, Wang Lang was very haggard and skinny, but his spirit was a little hyperactive, and his bloodshot eyes were full of brilliance.

"Zi Zhong, do you know why I saw you last?" Wang Lang's voice was hoarse.

"It doesn't matter if I wait for a while." Mi Zhu smiled and cupped his hands. "Jing Xing has been away for many years and has not heard from him. I must have been tired after seeing so many relatives and old friends today. I shouldn't bother, but the situation is critical and Jing Xing needs to raise his arms. I have to. Please forgive me. "

Wang Lang stroked his beard and pondered for a moment. "What is Liu Shijun's plan? Is it war or surrender?"

"Fight if you can."

Wang Lang frowned slightly. "A man does something, and he doesn't do something, how can he be vague and have two ends?"

Mi Zhu smiled wryly. "Jing Xing misunderstood Mr. Liu. It's not that Mr. Liu didn't want to fight, but he was unable to do so. Although he shepherds Xuzhou, he has no more than [-] soldiers, and only a few soldiers. How can he be Yuan Shao's opponent? As for the Xiapi Chen family Father and son, I won't tell you, you know their choice, even if Liu Shijun wanted to use them, he wouldn't dare to use them..."

Wang Lang raised his hand. "I know that the Xiapi Chen family has a very close relationship with Yuan Shao, but I don't think they dare to echo Yuan Shao at this time."

Mi Zhu was stunned. "How to say?"

"Zi Zhong, do you think Yuan Shao can replace Han?"

Mi Zhu looked at Wang Lang and remained silent.He didn't know what Wang Lang meant, and he was afraid that it would be screwed up.

"Do you know why I returned home at this time?"

"I think it's turning bad luck into good fortune, is it extremely peaceful?"

"No, it's Sun Ce who knows the ups and downs of the world and doesn't dare to embarrass me anymore." Wang Lang sneered. "Even a warrior like Sun Ce knows the general trend. How can the Chen family not know where Zheng Shuo is? Chen Deng may not be willing to fight Yuan Shao head-on, but he will not echo Yuan Shao and attack Liu Shijun."

Mi Zhu let out a long breath, with a smile on his face.

"Furthermore, Liu Shijun's hesitation is also related to his own unclear attitude." Wang Lang said bluntly: "Since you have ordered Tao Shijun to welcome Liu Shijun to Xuzhou, why don't you persuade him to pay tribute? Is Xuzhou still the Xuzhou of the big man?"

Mi Zhu looked embarrassed.

When Tao Qian was in office, Wang Lang worked in Zhizhong, and Zhao Yu was in charge. They all persuaded Tao Qian to be loyal to the court and paid tribute endlessly.Later, Wang Lang served as the prefect of Kuaiji and Zhao Yu served as the prefect of Guangling. They assisted Liu Bei, but they deviated from the decision made by Wang Lang and Zhao Yu when they were in office and stopped paying tribute to the court.

This is Liu Bei's responsibility, but as a professional, he has not fulfilled his duty of assistant, so he can't get away from it.

"When a man establishes a life, he should distinguish between good and evil, and not let it go." Wang Lang let out a heavy breath and raised his hand. "Go back and tell Mr. Liu that if he can face the disaster with his own body, I, Wang Lang, am willing to accompany him. If he hesitates, and still wants to seek peace through war, and cut off Xuzhou for self-reliance, forgive me, Wang Lang, for not being able to accompany him. "

He paused, and then said: "Although Wang Lang is a vulgar man, he was taught by his teacher, he understands the scriptures of sages a little, he dare not betray his teacher, he is unfaithful and unfilial. Even if all Xuzhou people flatter Yuan Shao, I I don’t want to agree either.”

Mi Zhu understood Wang Lang's meaning, bowed and bowed again, got up and said goodbye.

When Mizhu went out, Wang Lang's wife, Mrs. Yang, came out from behind.

"Husband has decided?"

"It's decided." Wang Lang lowered his head and coughed twice. "Clean up. I may meet Liu Bei tomorrow. If he refuses to break with Yuan Shao, we will leave Xuzhou and go to Hedong."

A smile appeared on Yang's face. "Husband, I've packed it up a long time ago. It's getting late, you should go to bed early. Your complexion is very bad. If you get sick from being tired, it will be bad."

"Don't worry, I'm just tired, I'll be fine after a few days of rest." Wang Lang's eyes showed a hint of yearning. "The Holy Son of Heaven is in the west, maybe in a few years, the world will be peaceful."

-

Mi Zhu hurried to the State Shepherd's Mansion, met Liu Bei who was waiting, and conveyed Wang Lang's opinion.

Liu Bei was very surprised. "Who is Wang Lang's teacher?"

Mi Zhu smiled wryly. "I didn't know it at first, but then I suddenly remembered on the road, his teacher seems to be the old Taiwei Yang Ci."

Liu Bei was taken aback. "Yang Boxian from the Hongnong Yang family?"

"Exactly, his wife's surname is Yang, and she may also come from the Hongnong Yang family."

Liu Bei suddenly realized, and his mood became extremely complicated.There are both envy and regret, and some unexplainable little emotions.

With a teacher like the Hongnong Yang family, Wang Lang can certainly be righteous and impassioned.Even if Yuan Shao caught him, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him, maybe he would treat him with courtesy.In case Yuan Shao occupies Xuzhou, Wang Lang can also go to the court, which is worth two thousand stones.

But Liu Bei is gone without Xuzhou, who will take him seriously?
At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he fought more than ten times, big and small, and almost died on the battlefield. Only after accumulating a little military merit, he became Captain Anxi.In a blink of an eye, he was dismissed by an imperial edict.Over the years, he traveled here and there, and finally found Xuzhou. How could people like Wang Lang understand the hardships involved.

"Emissary?" Seeing that Liu Bei, who had always been in the city, changed his face, Mi Zhu felt uneasy, and quickly reminded him softly.

"Huh?" Liu Bei came back to his senses and squeezed out a smile. "What else is there?"

"Tomorrow...how should I reply to Wang Jingxing?"

Liu Bei blinked. "Zizhong, just now Uncle Zi told me that you are willing to help me with everything. I want to know how many soldiers you can recruit for me, and how long can you prepare food? Only with soldiers and food can we defend Xuzhou."

Mi Zhu said without hesitation: "I have [-] parts, I can recruit another [-] people with the cash, and the food will last for three months. It will take some time to sell the fields and houses. In the event of a war, it may be difficult to find someone to take over. I try my best to Way to raise food for the envoy for half a year."

Liu Bei was overjoyed.

If Mizhu can really raise food for nine months, plus the money and food in his hands, it should be able to last for more than a year.For a year, no matter how slow the imperial court's response was, it was enough to mobilize.

"Will people from Xuzhou... respond to Yuan Shao?" Liu Bei asked.

With Mi Zhu's support, this was his only worry.

If the people of Xuzhou choose to support Yuan Shao, he will be attacked by the enemy, and the time he can hold on will be greatly shortened, even with Wang Lang's support, it will be useless.

Wang Lang is not a famous general, otherwise he would not have been driven away by Sun Ce.

The significance of Wang Lang lies in gaining the support of Xuzhou people.If the people of Xuzhou refused to support him, he would be useless.On the contrary, if Xuzhou people are willing to support Wang Lang and Liu Bei, he will not only be able to defend Pengcheng and Peixian, but also have the opportunity to defend the entire Xuzhou, at least until the imperial court sends troops.

"It's hard to say." Mi Zhu said with a smile: "But I believe that the truly smart people know how to choose. As for those stupid people who don't understand the general situation, it doesn't matter who they support, they are just buried for Yuan Shao."

Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu in surprise, and said, "In that case, I will visit Wang Jingxing tomorrow."
