Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 196 Unpredictable People
Zhang De still has an impression of Mi Zhu.The Mi family is a big family in Xuzhou. Historically, when Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, the Mi family took refuge in Liu Bei. Mi Zhu also married his own sister to Liu Bei. Speaking of which, the Mi family is loyal to Liu Bei, even in Liu Bei's most difficult time. , Mi Zhu also followed Liu Bei all the time.

Later, Mi Zhu's younger sister jumped into a well in Changbanpo, and then Zhao Yun fought against Changbanpo.But it seems that Mi Zhu has nothing to shine after that.

Mi Zhu also had a younger brother named Mi Fang, who seemed to have surrendered to Soochow and killed the second brother Guan.So in his heart, Zhang De didn't have a good impression of Mi Fang.

But now that Mi Zhu came here, there must be some business, so Zhang De asked Chen Gong: "Sir, do you know why Mi Zhu came here this time?"

Chen Gong smiled and said: "Yesterday, Mi Zhu also revealed one or two things. My lord, remember that Tao Qian's second son, Tao Ying, is still in our hands! This old Tao Qian was very sad because his second son was not here during the Chinese New Year, so Order Mi Zhu to come here, hoping to redeem Tao Ying!"

After hearing this, Zhang De suddenly realized, if it wasn't for Chen Gong's mention, Zhang De would have forgotten that he had captured Tao Ying!Speaking of which, this guy Tao Ying did not succeed enough but failed, even if he returned it to Tao Qian, it would be fine, but how to pay it back is still up for discussion. Thinking of this, Zhang De said: "Go and invite Mr. Li Rou over here!"

After a while, Li Rou was invited over. Hearing what happened from Chen Gong, she changed her mind and said, "My lord, I think that Mi Zhu came here not just to redeem Tao Ying. My lord, don't forget Now that we have occupied Donghai County, this Mi Zhu seems to be from Donghai, and the Mi family is also a big family in Donghai. If we handle this matter properly, we can use the prestige of the Mi family in Xuzhou to stabilize Xuzhou, which will be very beneficial to our next plan!"

Zhang De nodded, and said to the two men: "I think this matter should be left to the two military advisers! If we can win over the Mi family, it will indeed be of great help to us to stabilize the two places of Pengcheng in the East China Sea, and it can also be disintegrated. Xuzhou aristocratic family, it will be convenient for us to attack Xiapi in the future, killing two birds with one stone!"

At this time, Mi Zhu had long thought of taking refuge in Zhang De.Speaking of which, Mi Zhu is from Donghai County, so most of the Mi family's property is in Donghai. Now Donghai has been occupied by Zhang De. If the Mi Zhu brothers are still working under Tao Qian, it will definitely have a great impact on the family and property. .

The second point is that now that Tao Qian is old and his body is not as good as before, is it possible to expect an old man to take back Pengcheng and Donghai, and Tao Qian's two sons are also incompetent? On the contrary, Zhang De is still young now, It has great prospects for development, and it seems that Zhang De can win half of Xuzhou in a few months. It seems that Xuzhou will belong to Zhang De sooner or later, and he should be aware of current affairs.

Thinking of that old man Chen Gui in Xiapi City, Mi Zhu couldn't help curling his lips.This Chen Gui old fox keeps saying that Zhang De cannot be allowed to take control of Xuzhou. Once Zhang De takes control of Xuzhou, the status of the family will be affected.But Mi Zhu has long seen that the status of the aristocratic family is affected, and it is clearly their Chen family's status that is affected.Like myself, although Tao Qian's subordinates are engaged in this job, but this job does not have much rights. I am a businessman, and I have been excluded in Xuzhou. On the contrary, it is the Chen family, who can be said to overshadow the sky in Xiapi City!
Thinking about the faces of the Chen family's children these days, it makes Mi Zhu angry!It just so happened that Mi Zhu saw that Tao Qian felt so sorry for his son Tao Ying that he didn't think about eating and drinking, so he simply asked Tao Qian to come to Beihai to redeem Tao Ying, which happened to be able to avoid the stinking faces of those Chen family children.

Just as he was thinking, someone reported from outside: "Mr. Mi, the military advisors Chen Gong and Li Rou are asking to see you!"

……

Compared with Beihai's joyful New Year's Eve, the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion in Xiapi is much more bleak.In recent days, Tao Qian has been bedridden with illness, thinking of his son Tao Ying being captured, he blamed himself for a while, if he had not promised his son to lead the army that day, nothing would happen today.

At this time, the servants came to report, and Chen Gui and his son came to visit.After a while, Chen Gui and Chen Deng were brought in. Seeing Tao Qian like this, Chen Gui couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. Could it be that Tao Qian couldn't last long!

And Chen Deng also felt bad in his heart. If he could stop Tao Ying from pursuing that day, Tao Ying would not be ambushed and captured, and Peng Cheng would not be lost.If he had forced Tao Ying to stay in Pengcheng at that time, Tao Ying would not have dared to turn against him. After thinking about it, he still lacked experience!

The father and son left the Governor's Mansion and got into the car. Chen Gui asked first, "Yuanlong, Mi Zhu went to Beihai a few days ago, do you know?"

"Baby knows!" Chen Deng replied immediately.

"Do you know the purpose of Mi Zhu's trip?" Chen Gui continued to ask.

Chen Deng thought for a while, organized his words, and said, "According to my son, Mi Zhu's trip is called redeeming Tao Ying, but it is actually a test to test Zhang De. My son thinks that Mi Zhu may already have the heart to seek refuge with Zhang De!"

Chen Gui smiled and nodded: "My son is right, not only Mi Zhu has this idea, but even other families in Xuzhou have this idea! Mi Zhu this time is not only looking for a way out for their Mi family, but also for Xuzhou Other aristocratic families explore Zhang De's tone!"

"Father, what should we do then?" Chen Deng asked.

Chen Guiyu said to his son earnestly: "Yuanlong, I am old, but you are still young. The Chen family will still rely on your younger generation to revitalize it. Although I don't want Zhang De to take control of Xuzhou as a father, but now the world Chaos, many things are beyond your control! Yuanlong, you have to remember, some things, if you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it! The general trend of the world cannot be stopped by manpower!"

Chen Deng was taken aback for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Father, what do you mean..."

Chen Gui smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go home!"

……

On the other hand, Cao Bao had a very bad New Year.

Pengcheng was lost, and he should bear the primary responsibility. Although Tao Qian did not blame himself after escaping back to Xiapi, Cao Bao could tell that Tao Qian was still very dissatisfied with himself.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Bao's life became worse day by day.When Cao Bao escaped from Pengcheng, his family only brought a few small things with them.However, there is still a large amount of gold and silver left in Pengcheng, these are still secondary, but I don't have much property in Xiapi, and all the industrial land in Pengcheng is gone, which makes Cao Bao's status plummet.

Feudal society valued land, and land was also used as a criterion to measure wealth and power. The status of landlords was always higher than that of rich people. Cao Bao’s land was all in Pengcheng, so Cao Bao, who has no land now, is a member of the aristocratic family. The status is not as good as before.

As soon as the news came that Mi Zhu went to Beihai to redeem Tao Ying, Cao Bao immediately realized that it might be a good choice for him to seek refuge with Zhang De, and maybe he could gain Pengcheng's property!But if I rashly go to seek refuge with Zhang De, will he be willing?
"Master, it's time to eat, Madam, Young Master and Miss are waiting for you!" At this moment, the servant came over and said softly.

Cao Bao raised his head suddenly, with a smile on his lips, he finally made himself think of an idea!
