Seeing that Lu Bu's situation was getting more and more dangerous, Chen from Xiapi began to make plans of his own.

"Brother Yuanlong (Chen Deng), you are well."

"Brother Zifang (also known as Mi Fang), long time no see."

"please."

"please."

Chen Deng secretly came to Donghai County and met with Mi Fang.

The Mi family of Donghai has a huge fortune, but has never been able to integrate into the inner circle of the gentry. In the final analysis, the gentry looked down on the businessman and did not want to play with him. Before Mi Zhu met Liu Han, the nobles looked kindly on him, but in their hearts they looked down upon him. They did not respect Mi Zhu, but wanted to get money from Mi.

Because of this, when Mi Zhu first took over the shaky family, she chose to make a desperate move to secure a future. When Liu Han was still very weak, she invested all her property to stabilize his status.

Now, Mi's years of investment have finally paid off. Not to mention that Mi Zhu has been working under Liu Han for many years. He is in charge of a huge caravan and resources, and trades between the north and the grasslands. Under the premise that Liu Han doesn't care, Mi Zhu is in charge of all the nobles and the foreign races in the north. If Mi Zhu didn't agree to the mutual trade of power, it would be impossible for the gentry to enter the northern border.

Mi Zhu's third sister, Mi Zhen, has entered the palace. The Mi family has successfully transformed from a merchant family to a royal relative. It can be said that the carp jumped over the dragon's gate.

No matter how much the nobles disliked the Mi family, they could only endure it.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Mi family relied on Liu Han's support to seize the opportunity to acquire land in Xuzhou, recruit refugees, and expand armaments. The number of the army continued to expand. Now, with eight thousand troops, the Mi family has a pivotal position in Donghai County and has become the owner of An existence that no one dares to despise.

Mi Fang knew very well in her heart how the Mi family achieved today's glory. She was thousands of miles away from her brother, but she resolutely followed the orders from Jinyang.

Chen Deng did not dare to be disrespectful at all when facing Liu Han's spokesperson in Xuzhou.

The two sat opposite each other.

"Brother Yuanlong, I wonder why you came here today?"

Mi Fang did not dare to look down upon a person like Xiapi Chen who would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.

"Alas! Brother Zifang, what a disaster there is in Xuzhou!"

Chen Deng's tone was full of emotion: "Since Cao Cao massacred Xuzhou, there has been no peace for a day. First, Shijun Xu died of illness, before Shijun Liu could sit down, Yuan Shu came to invade, Lv Bu stabbed him in the back, and now Lv Bujiu has occupied the magpie's nest. , surrounded by enemies on three sides, and seeing that Xuzhou was about to fall into war and ruin, I couldn't bear it, so I came to ask Brother Zifang for help. "

Mi Fang understood. Chen Deng said a lot, and the last sentence was the key point.

It was a lie to ask him to take action. Chen Deng came today to test his attitude towards Xuzhou, or rather the king's attitude towards the Xuzhou nobles.

"Brother Yuanlong is joking. I am a white man. You are in Xuzhou. If you can't save Xuzhou, how can I save Xuzhou?"

The order Mi Fang received was that if there were changes in Xuzhou, he would lead his army north and cooperate with Zhang Liao's troops in Pingyuan to capture Langya and control the two counties of Beihai.

Chen Deng heard what Mi Fang meant, or Liu Han was in a wait-and-see attitude toward Xuzhou, but he didn't want to give up, "Brother Zifang, I..."

"Brother Yuanlong, there is no need to say more."

The conversation ended unhappily, and Chen Deng left Mi Fang's residence in a disappointed mood.

#
"Father."

"Yuanlong, how are you?"

When Chen Deng returned home, he went to see Chen Gui.

Chen Deng smiled bitterly: "As expected, Mi Zifang was unwilling to take action."

Chen Gui's eyes flashed: "That person doesn't want to leave us a way to survive!"

As a nobleman, Chen Gui could see what Liu Han wanted to do, so this time he asked his son to test Mi Fang's attitude towards Xuzhou. If Mi Fang softened his attitude towards the noblemen, he would immediately lead the Xuzhou noblemen to rebel and attack Lu Bu. Liu Han Han could capture Xuzhou intact without spending a single soldier.

pity……

"Then, what should we do?"

Following Lu Bu will undoubtedly lead to death, Yuan Shu is arrogant and will not survive long, Xuzhou will eventually fall into the hands of Liu Han, and the Chen family in Xiapi has a great cause and cannot just leave.

"Alas! How great would it be if Ambassador Liu was still in Xuzhou?"

Liu Bei was ambitious, and he had a good relationship with the Xuzhou nobles. For the nobles, Liu Bei was the only spokesman for Xuzhou, but it was a pity that he was driven away by Lu Bu, a fool.

"Yuanlong, what do you think?" Chen Gui asked his son.

Chen Deng thought for a moment: "Father, since that man won't accept me, we can only choose to join Yuan Shu, devote all the efforts of the Xuzhou and Yangzhou nobles, and then contact the Jingzhou nobles to fight him!"

Chen Deng's idea was to have a match with Liu Han. As long as he defeated Liu Han, there would be nothing he couldn't talk about next.

"But, have you considered the consequences of losing?"

"I……"

The gentry in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Sili areas learned from the past experience that if you lose, you don't simply admit your mistake. Many people will die.

"Can you guarantee that you will win?"

"Yuan Shu has 100,000 men, Liu Biao also has 40,000 naval troops and 50,000 road troops, plus Lu Bu has 30,000 men here in Xuzhou. Can't we have a fight with him?"

"Last year, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao thought the same way. Later, Yuan Shao was defeated and retreated to Nanyang. He became a dog with a broken back and was still licking his wounds in Nanyang. Cao Cao was nowhere to be found."

"How do Yuan Shu from Yangzhou and Liu Biao from Jingzhou compare to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao?"

"This……"

Of course Chen Deng knew that Yuan Shu and Liu Biao were inferior to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but he had no choice.

"Then...what should we do?"

"There is another way!"

"what?"

"Make meritorious service, make great achievements!"

Seeing Chen Deng's puzzled expression, Chen Gui said, "Just come over here...such and such...such and such."

Chen Deng's face flashed as he listened to his father's words: "Father... it's too risky. If you're not careful..."

"That's all. Just do it."

"Here."

Shouchun.

Yuan Shu sat on it and looked at Chen Deng: "Why did you come here today?"

"Ming Gong, Lu Bu is brave but has no plan. He is like a jackal! This man is unjust and acts rashly when he sees profit. Ming Gong should have taken advantage of him as soon as possible!"

Yuan Shu looked unkind: "Chen Deng! You are Lu Bu's envoy, why did you hurt your master like this in front of me?"

Although Lu Bu is really of poor quality, he is now the lord of Xuzhou after all, and Chen Deng is not someone you can criticize.

"Hey! Ming Gong! Chen Deng's ancestral home is in Xuzhou. He first assisted Tao Qian and later Liu Bei. Only because Xu Chu got into trouble after drinking and beat Lu Bu's father-in-law, Lu Bu captured Xuzhou. Chen Deng couldn't leave his family business because his father was in court. Therefore, it is not good for oneself to bow oneself under Lu Bu's tent."

"Oh?"

These words made Yuan Shu believe a little bit: "I have always known that Lu Bu's ambition is wolfish, and it is difficult to maintain it for a long time. What's your plan?"

"If Ming Gong takes any action, I will be the internal response."

Yuan Shu knew the influence of the Xiapi Chen family in Xuzhou. When Chen Deng said these words, Yuan Shu was moved: "Seriously?"

"Absolutely true!"

After receiving Chen Deng's affirmative reply, Yuan Shu immediately said: "Okay! I will give you the title of Grand Administrator of Guangling."

"Thank you Minggong!"

"I'll leave the affairs of Xuzhou to you, how about it?"

"Don't worry, Ming Gong!" (End of this chapter)
