Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 350 In Business Talk, Mi Zhu's Carefulness
Zhang Liao won a big victory, and the eastern front immediately advanced a lot.

Cao Cao and Zhao Yun, who were Zhang Liao's flanks, also advanced smoothly for ten or twenty miles. Zhang Liao confiscated a cartload of weapons and armor and sent them directly to the prefecture, while the captured grain and grass were carried with the army.

The supply trucks passing by Cao Cao's defense area made Cao Cao so greedy that he almost wanted to rob him.

At the foot of Fuzhen Mountain, Liu Qing's temporary camp, Liu Qing was discussing the next step with Guo Jia, Guo Jia came back from Dongping, and went straight to join Liu Qing.

"In the next stage, Xuande will be stationed in Duchang County, Uncle Ju will be stationed in Hanting, and the King will cross Wenshui and enter Chunyu County. Yellow Turban War dare not fight, there is no way to attack, only to retreat!" Liu Qing drew another line on the map.

"This method is very effective. However, there is one problem that the lord should consider."

"What's the problem?"

"The smaller the range, the more yellow turbans will gather. If there are tens of thousands of yellow turbans, the lord will not take them seriously, but if there are hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands?"

Guo Jia's words awakened Liu Qing, but he hadn't considered this issue carefully.

Because in Liu Qing's subconscious mind, how could a weakling like the Yellow Turban, his armored army, be unable to defeat him?

However, when the number of yellow turbans gathers to a certain number, it may really become tricky. After all, there are too many ants and they can kill beasts.

"What Feng Xiao said is not unreasonable. If hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves are gathered together, it is really difficult to deal with. It seems that we must change our strategy and not blindly shrink the encirclement."

"My lord, there is another way, it's just..."

"But it doesn't matter."

"It's just that it will be darker. My lord, have you ever thought about it, if there are millions of yellow scarves in Qingzhou, what would they eat? You know, Qingzhou has been plagued by natural disasters and man-made disasters for several years, and the food that can be robbed may be exhausted."

Liu Qing glanced at Guo Jia, and was extremely reluctant to think about that dark side.

"What's more, after Wenyuan's victory, the Yellow Turban is obviously shrinking. My lord, we have to guard against this change!"

Guo Jia's reminder was very timely. He was still too idealistic when he set the strategy of hunting the Yellow Turban.

"Under the premise of gathering and destroying them, we must look for opportunities in advance and divide them to attack them, so as to reduce the strength accumulated by the Yellow Turban Army as much as possible. The combination of the two is the best strategy." Guo Jia suggested.

As for who will be the one who will be the striker, Liu Qing has already chosen someone.

For this task, who is better than Zilong!
"This king is going to revise the book now, ordering Wenyuan to take over Zilong's defense line, and Zilong will lead his troops to kill fish in the net!"

"In addition to worrying that the fish caught in the net will bite back, my lord also needs to beware of other fishermen."

The riddler Guo Jia went online again, but Liu Qing didn't understand what "fisherman" meant for a while?
"What do you mean by filial piety?"

"My lord, don't forget who was eyeing Qingzhou before and sent troops there."

Tao Qian!

As soon as Guo Jia reminded, Liu Qing understood.

It is true that Liu Qing misjudged Tao Qian a lot. Based on the established impression, he thought that he would not be a monster. However, in fact, Tao Qian had similar behaviors before. Taishan County in Yanzhou, Donglai County in Qingzhou, There are already lessons learned.

"What Feng Xiao said is not unreasonable. It seems that we should take precautions as soon as possible, but now the soldiers under my king's account are fully arranged. Who will watch Tao Qian?"

Liu Qing thought for a while, right now, there is only Zhu Ling. Taishan County and Xuzhou have a large area of ​​border land, and the main Zhu Ling is stationed on the border of Xuzhou, Tao Qian should not dare to act rashly.

……

In Pengcheng, Xuzhou, Tao Qian just saw off a guest.

This guest was very mysterious, and even Tao Qian's confidants such as Mi Zhu were dismissed.

After the guests left, Tao Qian suddenly assembled the troops from various battalions. Although Mi Zhu didn't know what Tao Qian wanted to do by gathering the troops, he only had a vague guess.

Except for Qingzhou, which is currently using troops, other places seem unlikely.

On this day, when Mi Zhu was resting and taking care of business in the clan, an old man suddenly came to visit.

As a giant businessman in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu was supposed to be busy with business and have many guests.

However, in order to further develop the family, Mi Zhu joined politics again, and since then used politics to open the way to further develop the Mi family. However, due to his limited ability and distraction, he failed to do both things well.

But those who come today are a little different.

He is the head of the Chen clan in Xiapi, Chen Gui.

As the most prominent family in Xiapi, Mi Zhu naturally treated him with courtesy, and Chen Guiyuan also engaged in politics, but now he retired and returned to his hometown.

"Brother Han Yu, I don't know what to come here today?"

Chen Gui smiled, frowning several times.

"Mi's businessman, this old man came here to discuss cooperation with brother Zizhong."

"Oh? It's a troubled time, and it's not easy to do business in this troubled world."

Chen Gui found that Mi Zhu was deliberately avoiding his topic, so he cut to the chase and said, "This old man thinks that Xuzhou Tao Gongzu is not a good lord. Brother, you have already thought of a way out."

Of course I have thought about it!Mi Zhu thought to himself, thinking about it almost all the time, but he still cupped his hands and said, "Brother Han Yu, please show me."

Chen Gui secretly said: "I think that the one who is worthy of Xuzhou must be Yuan Benchu ​​from Yuzhou."

Mi Zhu suddenly realized that it was Yuan Shao, and now all the threads were connected.

Perhaps that guest of Tao Qian should also belong to Yuan Shao's.

Such a battle seems to have failed.

Chen Gui smiled, "Brother Zizhong, what do you think?"

Chen Gui blocked his feet, so there would be no place for someone like him in Xuzhou.

But in fact, Mi Zhu has his own ideas. When he came in, he was paying attention to the King of Bohai in many ways, and found that the King of Bohai not only acted decently, but also had a business background. This, Mi Zhu felt that he was very close, maybe this was a secret coincide.

Voting for Yuan Shao, it's not like he didn't think about it, Tao Qian once voted for Yuan Shao, what happened?

Now facing Chen Gui's persecution, Mi Zhu had no choice but to do the opposite and persuade Chen Gui.

"Brother Han Yu, you have seen a lot, but do you think Yuan Benchu ​​is the master of success?" Mi Zhu confronted him.

Chen Gui didn't expect that Mi Zhu already had his own idea, so it would be superfluous for him to say more.

"Since that's the case, the old man bids farewell!"

Mi Zhu also clasped his fists coldly, allowing several figures to follow Chen Gui and finally distort into a monster like a door. Mi Zhu understood that Yuan's was on the other side of the door.

The reason is that Mi Zhu still wanted to wait a little longer, and when the King of Bohai suppressed the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou and came to Xuzhou, he would persuade Tao Qian to surrender to the King of Bohai. The existence of it can be said to be full of confidence.

For a while, Mi Zhu still couldn't make up his mind, and he still couldn't do the act of openly surrendering to the enemy.

Then, Tao Qian suddenly asked him to discuss matters together.

Mi Zhu went, frank and frank, Chen Gui complained of illness and was absent, upon hearing the news, Mi Zhu couldn't help feeling ridiculous.

However, after not laughing for a long time, Mi Zhu's smile suddenly froze. It turned out that Tao Qian had assembled his troops and was ready to attack Qingzhou.

Tao Qian couldn't hold back after all.

"Make you think twice, Qingzhou has its own governor, and the King of Bohai is currently in Qingzhou, you must not blame him, please make you think twice."

"I've already thought about it!" Tao Qian said, "Suppressing the thieves in Qingzhou, I have no credit but also hard work. What's the result?"

"As soon as the Bohai King arrives, it's unreasonable to ask others to leave?" Tao Qian said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the King of Bohai also has a long-term plan. It is better for you to write a letter, and I am willing to take it to the King of Bohai. If you request it, you can write it clearly in the letter. If this is the case, it will not waste your soldiers."

Tao Qian was silent for a while, chewing over the gains and losses over and over again, the act just now was quite shocking, if it is according to Mi Zhu's intention, can it be done?
In fact, Tao Qian has no ambition to annex other forces now, except for Guangling in the south, most of them are in a state of self-preservation.

Mi Zhu understood Tao Qian's appeal, so he was a little more confident in his trip to Qingzhou.

What he was most worried about was that Yuan Shao promised Tao Qian some things, which aroused his ambition.

A few days later, Mi Zhu found out that the King of Bohai had arrived in Jiaodong, so Mi Zhu went straight to see him.

These days, it is extremely easy to march in. Liu Qing felt strange that the Yellow Turban Army seemed to have disappeared.

"Feng Xiao, the thing you and I are most worried about has happened! Now that Huang Jin has given up his territory and let us take it, I'm afraid he will make a big mess."

Guo Jia was thoughtful, "If the Yellow Turban really intends to fight our army in Guanyang, if it is well prepared, it must be done."

"Feng Xiao has an idea, come and hear it!"

"Report-"

"My lord, don't ask Mi Zhu to see you in Xuzhou."

Mi Zhu?Why is he here?Liu Qing was puzzled.

"Let's put the matter on hold for now. Feng Xiao will meet the guests with me!"

Guo Jia smiled, "Maybe, Mi Zhu sent the Lord to Xuzhou."

Liu Qing smiled without saying a word.

Mi Zhu was dressed in colorful clothes, with a blue robe and a yellow skirt. He didn't look like an official at all, but rather a wealthy businessman.

Liu Qing remembered that Mi Zhu was originally a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, and his business was probably much more than his original Junzheng firm.

"Don't drive Mi Zhu in Xuzhou, pay homage to the king!" Mi Zhu saluted.

"Your envoy doesn't need to be too polite, please take your seat quickly!"

Mi Zhu got up, sat opposite Guo Jia, and looked at Guo Jia.

"I don't know if Mi Bie came here, so what's the matter?" Guo Jia asked directly for Liu Qing, and also declared that he has the right to speak here.

Mi Zhu was stunned and sighed.

"Alas! Back to your Majesty, Tao Qian wanted to hand over Xuzhou to Yuan Shao. Zhu thought it was absurd. The Yuan family has been regarded as a rebellion by the court. If it hadn't been established in the gentry, it might have fallen down early. We're gone, and now Yuan's hand is reaching out to Xuzhou, which is the last thing Zhu wants to see, but Tao Qian..."

Mi Zhu made a distressed expression.

"So, Mi Biejia means..."

Mi Zhu's eyes froze suddenly, and he said: "Although Zhu is immersed in business, he has also heard of the Bohai King's ambition to merge Jizhou and Zhouzhou. Although Xuzhou's Yellow Turban is not as severe as Qingzhou, it also hurts the people. Zhu boldly, please take over the king." Xuzhou!"

Liu Qing and Guo Jia raised their eyebrows, it was unexpected that Mi Zhu would be so direct.

"If the king gets Xuzhou, what do you want?" Liu Qing didn't meander, both of them were businessmen, so when talking about things, they should use the thinking of businessmen.

The Bohai King's words hit Mi Zhu's heart directly. This is the feeling of a sympathetic heart!
"Returning to your lord, Mi Zhu has made a small success in doing business. This trip is not for himself, but for the sake of millions of people in Xuzhou. I hope the King of Bohai will check it out!" Mi Zhu said.

Liu Qing believed in this point.

A stable and prosperous Xuzhou is completely in the interests of the Mi family.

Conversely, if Xuzhou fell into the flames of war, not to mention doing business, even survival might become a problem. In history, Mi Zhu tried every means to support Liu Bei, mostly because Liu Bei's strength was limited and he was easy to control, so as to maintain the stability of Xuzhou.

On this point, the interests of the Mi family and the interests of the people of Xuzhou are indeed consistent.

Liu Qing pretended to smile, "Don't think that there is no one like this king. Those who work for this king are all high-ranking officials and marquises, rich and powerful. The only one who doesn't want an official position is right in front of you."

Liu Qing was referring to Guo Jia, and continued: "But although Guo Fengxiao has no official position, he can speak freely in front of this king. Under one person, everyone can get what they want with this king, so, Farewell to Mi, I will ask again, if I win Xuzhou, what do you want?"

Since it is a business, let's talk about it in a business way, and don't talk about benevolence, justice and morality.

Liu Qing's performance this time, in Mi Zhu's heart, his favorability has risen.

Mi Zhu was not taken by the spirit of the King of Bohai, and smiled head-on.

"Your Majesty, I have no worries about food and clothing. There is only one thing that I worry about."

"What's the matter?"

"Xiaguan has a younger sister who is beautiful, well-educated and reasonable, but she is arrogant and says that she will not marry if she is not a hero in this world. This is a headache for Xiaguan!"

As soon as Mi Zhu opened his mouth, Liu Qing had a bad feeling.

Good guy, I asked you what reward you want, and you actually want to be my brother-in-law!
If Mi Zhu said something about high officials and rich salary, it would obviously be different from what he said just now, and talking about the kiss would also show that he cared about his sister.

This is embarrassing, this is Liu Bei's early days, and I have become a big-eared thief.

Guo Jia laughed happily beside him, for some reason, every time Liu Qing married a wife and concubines, he liked to hear and see them, and he was happier than marrying himself.

It was as if he was hoping that Liu Qing would marry a few more wives to break him down, so that he wouldn't laugh at him.

Although Liu Qing was already [-]% sure, but out of courtesy, he asked politely: "Don't worry, this king is your sister's matchmaker?"

Mi Zhu cursed secretly: You cunning Bohai King!I'm already like this, you still pretend!

"Your Majesty misunderstood me. What I mean by this official is that the King of Bohai is a heroic young man, and all women in the world admire him. The younger sister is one of them. I hope that the King can accept the younger sister as a concubine and marry the Mi family. From then on, the Mi family will offer her sacrifices." Your Majesty urged."

Liu Qing: "This..."

Liu Qing looked at Guo Jia as if asking for help, without any lust.

Guo Jia was sitting in danger, and said slowly: "Mi Biejia is easy to calculate. If the king really marries Lingmei, from now on in Xuzhou, Biejia will be under one person. You can't get any high-ranking officials and rich salary. What do you think?" Yes or no?"

Mi Zhu was pointed out by one word, and fell silent.

Guo Jia continued: "My lord cares about the people of Xuzhou. I wish I could go there to quell the chaos and restore peace to Xuzhou. Don't be a parent official in Xuzhou. If you have such a heart, how can my lord live up to it? It's just an addition to the palace. A family affair—"

"This military division agrees!"
