Chapter 458 The Attack on the Mi Family
What is more difficult to deal with is that the Mi family is related to the Xiliang Army in Chang'an. Liu Bei does not want to provoke the huge giant Xiliang Army for the time being. Judging from the weapons given to him by Jia Rong, the military strength of the Xiliang Army has reached its peak, and he must be careful when dealing with enemies like Mi Zhu.
When Liu Bei went to Mifu before, he saw Mi Zhu's sister. She was shocked and wanted to marry her. On the one hand, it was for the appearance of Mi Huan, and on the other hand, it was to get the support of Mi Zhu. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei refused on the grounds that he had been married to Cao Bao's son Cao Yan. Liu Bei didn't care about a woman and thought of Mi Zhu's sister. He will marry Cao Yan, and the Cao family and himself are already the same person, and his heart is also determined. However, what happened in the city recently made him feel a sense of crisis, especially when Tao Qian gave way to the throne, Mi Zhu's performance.
After Liu Bei left, Cao Bao's hazy eyes instantly became sober and whispered, "The Mi family has always prevented Lord Tao from giving up Xuzhou to Liu Bei. After all, it is a disaster. If you don't remove it, take some people, don't leave traces."
"No!" A figure flashed in the dark, holding a fist.
"Mi Zhu, Mi Zhu, although you and I have been ministers in Xuzhou for many years, don't blame me for being cruel, even if you have the Xiliang Army behind you." Cao Bao muttered.
As soon as Jia Rong was about to fall asleep, he heard the sound of weapons colliding outside. His voice was a little low. Obviously, he was a certain distance away from Mifu. He turned over and sat up, gently picked up the green sword on the head of the bed, and walked quickly out of Mifu.
In the night, countless people were fighting, and the sparks of weapons were particularly dazzling in the night. Both of them were dressed in black and lying on the ground.
"What's going on?" Jia Rong asked in a low voice.
"Lord, there are about a hundred of these people in black, well-trained and well-armed. Obviously, they are coming for Mi's family." Zhang Xiu replied in a hurry.
"Lord, please go to Mifu for a rest for a while." Zhao Fan persuaded.
Jia Rong's face showed a sad look and said with a sneer, "Is it a person from Xuzhou? Do you think the sword in my hand is unfavorable!"
After saying that, he pulled out the green sword and joined the battlefield. Although both sides were dressed in black, Jia Rong still recognized his own soldiers at a glance through his clothes.
With the sharpness of the green sword and the great power of Jia Rong, it is rare to meet the enemy on the battlefield. The death of the man in black is extremely tragic.
One person in black suddenly appeared, and the sword pointed straight at Jia Rong.
Before Zhang Xiu and others came forward, Jia Rong snorted coldly and was not afraid to meet him.
After only a moment of the fight, Jia Rong felt that the other party's swordsmanship was not bad. Although Wang Yue's swordsmanship was ethereal and fierce, he could also go to the court and enter the room. I don't know how much the power contained in each move is better than that of other people in black. It is estimated that his status among people in black is not low.
The chaotic scene aroused Jia Rong's fighting spirit. After being in a high position, such a battle seemed to be less and less predestined with him. Jia Xu and other officials always advised him not to get involved in danger easily for various reasons. In the face of the hardships of the officials, he had no choice but to compromise.
When the two swords met, Jia Rong tried his best to cut at the man in black. How could the sword in the man in black withstand such a confrontation? It was immediately broken.
In the hearts of the people in black, he looked at the green sword in Jia Rong's hand, full of eagerness. Looking around, he found that there were few of his own people and horses in the field. He took a few steps back and walked towards the distance.
"Puff!" A crossbow arrow hit the back of the man in black. His body paused slightly, and his speed did not decrease. He swept away into the distance, but for a moment, it disappeared.
The leader left, and the people in black in the field were quickly solved, leaving only two people alive.
Jia Rong looked at these people in black outside Mi's house with a gloomy face. In Xuzhou, only the Cao family and the Chen family can have such strength. When Liu Bei first came here, it was impossible to do such a stupid thing. When Xuzhou was in his hands, he couldn't get anything and would not be in a hurry. .
Mi Zhu in his sleep was woken up by Jia Rong. Seeing the scene outside the house, Mi Zhu's face immediately became gloomy.
Tell the family to clean up and take Jia Rong to Mi's house.
"Brother Zizhong, it seems that Mifu is not safe. If it weren't for my people who have some means, hum." Regardless of the blood stains on his body and face, Jia Rong picked up the wine cup and drank it all.
Mi Zhu said in a low voice, "Thank you, General."
"Don't be so polite. Just pay some hard work, but I can't stay in this mansion, otherwise I don't know how to lose my life."
Mi Zhu's face was bitter, and there was a trace of pleading in his voice: "General, how about giving me another three days? I know that the general is not interested in Xuzhou, but the Mi family has a great career in Xuzhou, and it will not be completed in a short time if you want to transfer it."
Jia Rong pondered for a moment and said slowly, "For the sake of Brother Zizhong's help to the Xiliang Army for many years, this matter will not be mentioned for the time being, but some people in Xuzhou City can no longer sit still. Brother Zizhong must pay attention to it when he goes out. On the way to Xuzhou, the caravan of the Mi family found the heavy armor and weapons of the Xiliang Army. This The matter is under investigation, and Zizhong also needs to carefully investigate Xia Han.
"Thank you, General!" Mi Zhu bowed, and Jia Rong could stay in Mi's house. That is to say, the life of the Mi family is temporarily safe, so that he can transfer the Mi family's family's family business in Xuzhou as soon as possible. As for Xia Han, the Mi family has a big business, and the management businessman does not know how much. How can Mi Zhu know who Xia Han is? However, if he wants to investigate Xia Han, he must be better than Jia Rongjian. A lot of orders.
How prosperous the land of Chang'an is. It is not like the land of the Central Plains. There are many wars and a little carelessness. I'm afraid that the family property accumulated for several generations will be lost once lost. With his past friendship with Jia Rong, it is not difficult to put the Mi family in Chang'an. He thought that Jia Rong personally invited him to settle in Chang'an for other reasons, but now But he had to brazenly mention the matter of the day, and Mi Zhu was also a little embarrassed.
Thinking of the current situation in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu suddenly felt how wise it was to choose to cooperate with Jia Rong in those years. In the face of life and death, it is not so important to be ashamed.
When Cao Bao saw the man in black covered with blood appear in front of him, his reverie was immediately interrupted, "How could this happen?"
The man in black's face was a little pale. "The guards in the Mi family are strict. Before we get close to the Mi family, we encountered a wave of people in black. I also escaped desperately before I can return to Cao's mansion."
"The rest are dead?" Cao Bao said in disbelief that the 100 people brought by the man in black were the dead men trained by the Cao family. The weapons and martial arts were all at the upper level. They were inadventive and could not enter the Mifu. It seemed that they still underestimated the strength of the Mi family.
The man in black lowered his head in shame.
"Go down and have a rest." Cao Bao said.
After the man in black retreated, Cao Bao's calm face was no longer there, and he changed to a solemn color, which intensified the vigilance in the house.
The next day, the city of Xuzhou was still bustling. Naturally, the people of Pingming did not know what happened outside Mifu last night. There were faint traces of blood on the ground, which did not attract the attention of passers-by.
Tao Qian summoned Xuzhou officials and once again proposed to cede Xuzhou to Liu Bei.
A small half of the officials in the house stood up to express their support. It can be seen that Liu Bei has been quite popular in the city recently and has been busy.
Mi Zhu snorted coldly and arched his hand and said, "Your Excellency, I went to Mifu last night to make trouble. Please mobilize soldiers from the army to protect Mifu."
Tao Qian was shocked and said, "Is there such a thing?"
Mi Zhu said, "The martial arts of the people in black who went to Mifu are not vulgar. If it hadn't been for the death of the Mifu family, I'm afraid that Mifu would have been at the hands of thieves."
"This matter should not be underestimated. Which general in the army is willing to take people to Mifu to guard? Lord Mi did his best when Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou. He was a great meritorious official of Xuzhou." Tao Qiandao.
After saying that, one person held his fist and said, "I am willing to lead the soldiers to guard Mi's house and not let Xiao Xiao make trouble."
"Good! General Qin will go there."
This general surnamed Qin, surnamed Qin Minghuang, is one of the best fierce generals in the Xuzhou army. His force is not as strong as Cao Bao. He is just right in the army and has often collided with Cao Bao, so he has not been reused. When Cao's army attacked the city, he was promoted from the army by Mi Zhu. The official position was like a rocket and quickly became a member of the army. The general is grateful to Mi Zhu. When he first hears this news, he is naturally willing to go.
Because Mifu was attacked by unknown people in black last night, Tao Qian proposed to let Xuzhou and Liu Bei be skillfully dealt with by the people of Mi Zhufang. A group of officials talked about the current public security in Xuzhou, and his words contained a lot of dissatisfaction with Cao Bao.
The literati's verbal attack is not something that Cao Bao, a general like Cao Bao, who fights on the battlefield, can cope with. On the surface, his face is indifferent, and his heart is already angry. On the other hand, Liu Bei is not affected at all, as if he does not know it at all. Cao Bao still learns, his eyes slightly narrowed, and let the civilian officials blame him.
Leaving the state herdsman's house, Cao Bao snorted coldly, "When Liu Bei sits in the position of the lord of Xuzhou, the first one will take your Mi family!"
Cao Cao still led the army to confront Yuan Shu. With the support of grain and fodder, Cao's army occupied the city one after another, and Yuan Shu had no power to fight back. Yuan Shu led the civilian generals and fled in a hurry. During this period, he rescued Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and other princes, all of which failed. Some of the counselors under his command found that Yuan Shu was difficult to resist and unexpectedly fled. Cao's camp.
In view of the current situation of the Yangzhou army, Yuan Shu was also anxious. He immediately organized 30,000 soldiers to fight to the death with Cao's army.
Now Yuan Shu is the son of heaven. The morale of the soldiers should be high-spirited, but on the contrary, the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command are very strong, and the walking team is crooked. Many soldiers are more like holding a hoe. They are all soldiers who have just recruited from the people. No combat experience.
With the army of 30,000 troops, Yuan Shu regained a little self-confidence and took Li Feng and others to take back all the lost land.
Unbeaware, the night when the 30,000 troops had just been camped, they were robbed by the Cao army. They suffered heavy casualties. The soldiers who were temporarily organized by Qingzhuang fled in confusion. Yuan Shu led the generals to flee back to the land in a hurry and closed the city.
