Chapter 80
"Since you said so, it seems that taking refuge in Li Yuan is a good choice." Chen Gui said.

At this time, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, another big family in Xuzhou, were also discussing about Li Yuan.

"Zi Fang, since Tao Qian has left, we can only rely on Li Yuan now." Mi Zhu already intends to submit to Li Yuan today, Li Yuan's vision and mind have already convinced him, even Tao Qian does not have such a good vision as Li Yuan , Merchants have always been underestimated. If he is under Li Yuan's command, he believes that he can show his strengths.

"Brother, is this too hasty? Li Yuan is ambitious. My Mi family is the richest man in Xuzhou. I'm afraid he will covet my wealth. If he finds a reason to copy my house in the future, wouldn't it be a disaster? The whole family?"

"Li Yuan is not a person with short-sightedness. He focuses on the world. Although my Mi family has a lot of wealth, Li Yuan is not a greedy person. Compared with the whole world, my Mi family is nothing." Mi Zhu shook his head and denied, he believed own vision.

Mi Fang originally wanted to fight Li Yuan and become famous, but she knew she had no ability, and Tao Qian had already surrendered and left Xuzhou, so now she can only listen to her elder brother Mi Zhu.

At this moment, someone said that Li Yuan called them into the prefect's mansion to discuss matters.Mi Zhu and Mi Fang glanced at each other, they didn't know that Li Yuan had something to discuss, but Li Yuan couldn't refuse to go when he summoned them, so they went to the prefect's mansion together.

After entering the prefect's mansion, they found that Chen Deng and Chen Gui were already waiting inside. Mi Fang and Mi Zhu were a little surprised. They didn't expect the Chen family father and son to be there, and Chen Gui was also surprised. The four of them bowed to each other and it was a fight. call.Mi Fang looked at Chen Deng with disdain. Chen Deng knew that Mi Fang looked down on him surrendering to Li Yuan, and he was not as knowledgeable as Mi Fang.

After a while, Li Yuan came out from the back hall, sat on the main seat, and looked at the four people in front of him with a smile. These four people can be said to be Tao Qian's most important former ministers. Except for Mi Fang who has no skills, Chen Gui, Both Chen Deng and Mi Zhu are people with real talents and hard work.

"I'm sorry to bother you to wait. I asked you to come here so late, but I have a worry in my heart that I need to discuss with you, otherwise it will be difficult for me to fall asleep." Li Yuan said.

"General Li??? My lord, what worries do you have? I'm willing to help you out." Chen Gui cupped his fists and said, because he hadn't gotten used to Li Yuan becoming his lord, so he almost called Li Yuan General Li. In fact, it wasn't just him. , Others have difficulty adapting to it for a while.

"I have heard for a long time that Tao Gong has four important ministers under his command. Mi Zhu is in charge of finance and business, Mi Fang is in charge of military affairs, and Chen Deng and Chen Gui are in charge of military affairs. It is a great fortune to finally see you today." Li Yuan first praised.

"My lord, Liao praised." Chen Gui and the others said at the same time.

"Xuzhou can't have today's grand occasion without the joint efforts of all of you. However, today the world has become a situation where heroes compete for the throne. The emperor of the Han Dynasty is weak. After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue and Guo Si controlled the government and were unable to restrain the princes. I know You may hold grudges against me because I attacked Xuzhou, but this is the general trend, and it is not decided by me, Li Yuan." Li Yuan simply explained what he said, without saying anything explicitly.

The four of Chen Gui glanced at each other, as if they knew what Li Yuan wanted to say.

Li Yuan continued: "Even if I don't attack Xuzhou, so what? People like Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce all have the heart to dominate the world. Can you guarantee that they will not attack Xuzhou if I don't attack Xuzhou, especially Cao Cao? This person is very strategic, recently he has completely controlled Yanzhou, Yanzhou is close to Xuzhou, I believe his next target is Xuzhou."

This is indeed the case in history. Tao Qian was defeated by Cao Cao, and Xuzhou was finally controlled by Cao Cao.

"Although I conquered Xuzhou, I never harmed a single commoner. Tao Qian took the initiative to let the virtuous, and I didn't feel sorry for him. All the officials in Xuzhou didn't touch them at all. The reason I did this was to ensure that Xuzhou could Stable and prosperous, avoid turmoil, although you are no longer based on Tao Qian, but on me, I hope you can still serve wholeheartedly, even if you don’t think about me, you must think about the people of Xuzhou. Today, the world is in turmoil. There are wars everywhere, whether we can keep Xuzhou is not up to me, Li Yuan, but to your joint efforts."

Li Yuan's words were sincere and sincere, and he also hoped that Chen Gui and the others would not disagree. Everything he did was for the sake of the people of the world, and he hoped that they could understand what he thought in his heart.

"My lord cares about the people, and I'm far behind. From now on, my Mi family will serve the lord wholeheartedly and do my part for the people of Xuzhou." Mi Zhu was moved by Li Yuan's words. .

"It's the same with my Chen family!" Chen Gui said the same.

"Okay, it's good if you have this determination. I intend to fight for the world, and I need your full support." After explaining the words, Li Yuan was also relieved, "Wang Lang is also a very talented person, but he has a stubborn personality, and he can't live or die. I am willing to surrender, but Han Yu and Zizhong need to pay more attention to this matter."

"My lord, don't worry, just leave this matter to me." Mi Zhu assured.With Chen Gui and Mi Zhu's reputation in Xuzhou, it shouldn't be too difficult to convince Wang Lang.After expressing their thoughts, everyone left.

After this night of talking, Li Yuan could be considered to have surrendered Chen Gui and others. If there were no words just now, the Chen family and the Mi family would only surrender on the surface, and would not serve wholeheartedly. They might even play tricks secretly. Mi Zhujie was finally moved by Li Yuan's sincerity.

The next day, Li Yuan asked Chen Gui and Mi Zhu to persuade Wang Lang to surrender, and Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu to persuade Zang Hong, while he personally went to persuade Tai Shici.

Tai Shici was injured by Li Yuan before, and now the wound has been bandaged. Li Yuan sent Guan Hai and Zhou Cang to supervise him, but instead of keeping him in a cell, he arranged a room for him to eat and drink, but he was not allowed to go out. , is already considered a very good treatment. The captives of this era are all spent in prison.

Li Yuan walked into the room and saw that Tai Shici's face was rosy and he was not haggard from the injury, he said with a smile: "It seems that your injury is not serious."

Seeing that it was Li Yuan, Tai Shici just snorted coldly and didn't speak.

"I've heard for a long time that Tai Shici is a man of great love and righteousness, but I don't agree with him when I see him today." Li Yuan sat down beside Tai Shici and said deliberately.

"Li Yuan, don't you want to slander me. How can I be unfaithful and disrespectful?" Tai Shici's eyes widened angrily, and his eyes were fixed on Li Yuan.

"Then let me ask you, what is the first thing to do in Baishan?"

"Of course filial piety comes first!" Tai Shici respected his mother very much, so he naturally understood this truth.

"Since filial piety is the first priority, why did you abandon your mother?" Li Yuanzhi asked.

"Don't be bloody. I treat my mother the best. I only listen to her. When will I abandon her?" If it wasn't because he couldn't beat Li Yuan, he really wanted to pinch Li Yuan.

"Your mother worked hard to raise you up, but you didn't understand the reason. Driven by Kong Rong, you rashly led troops to attack our army, and I captured you, making you unable to take care of your mother at home, leaving her to work hard alone. It's really unfilial, do you agree?" Li Yuan ignored Tai Shici's anger and continued to ask sternly.

Tai Shici stood up angrily, and said angrily: "My mother taught me that I should repay my kindness with springs. Prefect Kong is very kind to my mother, so I should do my best to share her worries. If I don't repay my kindness, wouldn't it be ungrateful? only?"

Li Yuan also followed Tai Shici and stood up, "This statement is wrong. You helped Kong Rong attack me, and you were captured and unable to fulfill your filial piety. What's the use of repaying your kindness like this? Could it be that Kong Rong's kindness to you is more than that of your mother?" Is the kindness of raising you even greater?"

"Hmph, Li Yuan, you can speak well. I, Tai Shici, can't beat you. If you really think that I should be filial, then let me go back. Don't say so many useless things." It seems to make sense, but in fact it is confusing right and wrong, how could he be so easily fooled.

"Okay, if that's the case, I'll let you go back!" Li Yuan broke his heart and decided to let Tai Shici go.

"What? Really?!" Tai Shici looked at Li Yuan in disbelief.

"One word from a gentleman is hard to follow. I, Li Yuan, have never broken my promise." Li Yuan patted his chest to assure.

"Why did you let me go?" Tai Shici asked puzzled.
