The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 215 Meeting Mi Fang
When Mi Fang heard that Liu Chan came to visit, she was a little surprised.He actually knew about Liu Chan's entry into Jiangling City a long time ago, but the relationship between him and Liu Chan was not very close, so he didn't immediately visit Liu Chan's home last night.Unexpectedly, Liu Chan came here by himself today.

However, now that Liu Chan has become the son of the Prince of Hanzhong, his worth has doubled, and Mi Fang dare not offend Liu Chan.He dressed up to greet them, and personally brought Liu Chan and Zhuge Qiao into the reception room of the government office.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Mi Fang said: "Nephew Adou, Uncle just heard the news of your entry into the city. I originally wanted to go and see you after finishing all the business affairs. Unexpectedly, your hands and feet are nimble. I found it by myself." After speaking, Mi Fang laughed dryly to himself, obviously he felt that these words were meaningless.

Of course Liu Chan knew that Mi Fang was lying.Now that he is in charge of Jiangling's affairs, how could he bring a group of people into the city without him knowing?What's more, Liu Chan's current status is not only the son of the king of Hanzhong, but also the special envoy of Jingzhou, the plenipotentiary representative of Liu Bei!I'm afraid he is too lazy to visit him in his mansion.

However, Liu Chan didn't care about the truth and falsehood with Mi Fang. After all, everyone said this kind of scene every day.He and Zhuge Qiao looked at each other with a smile, and then said to Mi Fang: "Ah Dou is a junior, how dare you bother uncle to visit me? It should be me, a junior, who came to visit uncle. Is uncle well?"

Mi Fang is nearly fifty years old, a few strands of gray have been added to her hair, and there are some wrinkles around her eyes.But he was already very rich, and Liu Chan suggested that he communicate with the thieves in Soochow and lure them to sell their private salt into Jingzhou. He must have profited the most from it.Such a rich and powerful person will naturally not treat himself badly, so in fact, his appearance is still very good, and he is not as old as a 50-year-old person in this era.

Seeing that Liu Chan still cared about her, Mi Fang saw that there was an old saying in the Han Dynasty that "nephew and uncle are the closest." Mi Fang felt warm in her heart, patted her chest, and said with a smile: "Uncle's You're in good health! Compared to a frail scholar like you, I'm afraid it's even better at 01:30."

Both Liu Chan and Zhuge Qiao also laughed, and the atmosphere that was a bit raw just now changed immediately.Only then did Liu Chan boldly ask about the recent situation in Jingzhou.

What Liu Chan didn't expect was that Mi Fang didn't answer his question directly, but instead seemed to bring back his memory all at once.He asked Liu Chan, "Ah Dou, do you remember your aunt, who is my paper-thin sister? Well, she was brought up by me and my eldest brother since we were young. Unexpectedly, at a young age, she died in the That Changbanpo..." Saying that, Mi Fang seemed to be genuinely moved, and the sockets of her eyes turned red immediately.

Liu Chan nodded and said: "When my nephew passed Changbanpo, I wanted to pay homage to my aunt, but I saw the stone tablet you set up by your uncle. I don't know where you moved my mother's bones to. Chan wants to go there tomorrow. Pay your respects."

Mi Fang nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: "In today's world, human relationships and trustworthiness can be said to be abandoned like worn-out shoes. It's rare that you still remember her kindness in saving you. It's not in vain that I lost my life because of you. She was buried by the river, next to your biological mother, Mrs. Gan."

Liu Chan nodded, feeling a little sad in his heart.Then, Mi Fang recalled the past with Liu Chan.

It is said that when the Mi brothers were in Xuzhou, they followed Liu Bei, using their family's capital for military use, and their family members as their servants.After being defeated in the battle, they shot arrows in the face of Changbanpo, and even lost their beloved little sister, Mrs. Mi.

When Mi Fang said this, she was already in tears.

In fact, Liu Chan also knew that the Mi brothers had made great contributions to the Liu family, but now Mi Zhu is a high-ranking official in Yizhou, almost no one can compare with him, even Mi Fang's official title is not low.Now that Mi Fang's words are so sensational, Liu Chan guesses that there seems to be something hidden in this, right?
Sure enough, Mi Fang complained a little next: "Fang has never done anything wrong to the King of Hanzhong since she joined the King of Hanzhong. It's a pity that the world is cold, and the emperor doesn't care about your uncle who is now in this miserable Jingzhou." , It’s no different from exile. Besides, Guan Yu, who was so proud and arrogant, always reprimanded his uncle severely because of small things, and finally even dismissed the post of vanguard officer by him. It's annoying!"

In fact, others may not be clear about the quarrel between Mi Fang and Guan Yu, but Liu Chan is very clear. Now Mi Fang wants to fool Liu Chan with one-sided words, there is no way at all!
At the beginning of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition, Mi Fang was too arrogant to lead troops, which caused a fire in the camp.Who is Guan Yu? He is famous for being harsh on others.Naturally, he couldn't just because Mi Fang was Liu Bei's brother-in-law, he would make a major incident into a minor one. He almost killed Mi Fang, but after someone interceded, he was allowed to return to Jingzhou to be a guardian.

Liu Chan sighed, and persuaded Mi Fang together with Zhuge Qiao, since the matter had passed for a long time, let him pass, now that he is in charge of Jiangling, his official position has actually grown a lot.And there is no war here, and life is more stable.

After the two of them put in a lot of effort, Mi Fang's face turned cloudy, and Liu Chan felt a little thirsty after persuading her, and sighed inwardly, this trip to Jingzhou was really not easy!

Mi Fang sighed again: "Although Uncle is in Jingzhou, I have heard about the matter between you and Queen Wu. Sigh, although I am your uncle, my heart is also with you, but now people speak lightly. , There is nothing you can do about it. If my little sister is still alive, how can you be bullied like this?"

Liu Chan also had a headache about Wu Cheng's matter, but after all, the other party's current identity was his mother, so he could only say: "Uncle, I won't talk about the Queen's matter today. As a son of man, my nephew had an affair with his mother." Contradictions, this is my son's fault, and Wu's mother cannot be blamed."

Liu Chan's words were definitely not his intention, but they were said so beautifully that no one could find anything wrong with them.Mi Fang could only sigh: "Your child is too honest, people have bullied you, yet you are so tolerant. Forget it, since you are so filial, naturally uncle can't say anything about you."

Liu Chan saw that after he entered the Jiangling government office, he was always listening to Mi Fang talking nonsense. He spent a lot of time, but he couldn't get to the point at all.And what makes Liu Chan even more uncomfortable is that the leading power of the topic has always been in the hands of Mi Fang, which is not in line with Liu Chan's style at all!

Therefore, Liu Chan decided to fight for the initiative.He changed the subject and said, "Uncle, my nephew also heard about the matter between you and my second uncle Guan Yu along the way. But uncle, do you know that after you made a mistake that day, with my second uncle's staunch temper, I'm afraid Even his parents and children would be beheaded, but why would he spare you and entrust Jingzhou to you?"

Mi Fang's complexion changed: "And why?"

"My uncle doesn't know. When Zhuge's military master returned to Jingzhou, my father asked him to send a letter to my second uncle. It said, 'Mi Zifang is my minister. If my second brother goes out to fight in the future, The only one Jingzhou can entrust is Mi Zifang!'"

When Mi Fang heard this, she was dumbfounded in surprise.His elder brother Mi Zhu was entrusted with important tasks as soon as he entered Sichuan, but he had been left in Jingzhou by Liu Bei all the time, so he always had some resentment in his heart, which was one of the reasons why he was easily surrendered by Pan Jun in the future.Hearing what Liu Chan said now, he knew that Liu Bei attached great importance to him. Such a contrast in his heart naturally surprised him.

Seeing the change in Mi Fang's expression, Liu Chan and Zhuge Qiao couldn't help laughing secretly.In fact, the letter in these remarks was temporarily fabricated by Liu Chan himself, just to impress Mi Fang.Even if Mi Fang wanted to investigate, would he dare to ask Guan Yu?

Only then did Mi Fang sigh: "Your uncle thought he had been forgotten by the King of Hanzhong, but the King of Hanzhong still remembered me as an old official!" As she spoke, her eyes turned slightly red, after all, it had been decades. If you are a monarch and minister, the friendship must be very deep.

Liu Chan added more firewood and said, "If uncle wants to be transferred to Xichuan to reunite with uncle, it is actually not impossible, as long as..."

Liu Chan's words guessed Mi Fang's mind in one fell swoop, and immediately asked, "How about it?"

Liu Chan was overjoyed and said, "As long as uncle can make great contributions to Jingzhou, he can be transferred to Xichuan with his merit."

Mi Fang felt guilty: "Your uncle is now transferred to the rear of Jingzhou, and he didn't even have to fight a battle. How can he make meritorious deeds?"

Liu Chan smiled and said: "Uncle, you are wrong, maybe Jiangling has a great contribution waiting for you to claim it!"

"How to say?"

Liu Chan said somewhat mysteriously: "Uncle's credit is actually on Soochow! Now my second uncle is fighting fiercely with Cao Wei in the north, and Jingzhou is empty of troops. Soochow's evil wolf must not be able to resist thinking about Jingzhou. So, as long as my uncle keeps Jiangling, then he can keep Jingzhou, isn't it a feat? Even my second uncle will be willing to bow down because of this!" Liu Chan finally started to play tricks on Mi Fang.

Mi Fang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and asked, "Is this your own analysis, or is there reliable news that Soochow is going to take action?"

Liu Chan's eyeballs moved, since he was going to lie, he would deceive Mi Fang to the end, and vowed: "Bo Song has always been in charge of intelligence, let him explain to you." Liu Chan said, and made a trick to Zhuge Qiao. Wink.

Zhuge Qiao understood and used his three-inch tongue to start analyzing the information from Jiangdong's spies to Yizhou, all the way to the current movements of Wu Jun in Jiangxia, Lukou and the counties south of Changsha, and immediately bluffed Mi Fang. I was startled and surprised, as if the Wu army would come to Jiangling city immediately tomorrow.

Mi Fang hurriedly asked: "Then what should I do now?" What a worthless guy, he lived a long time, and he still wants to ask two teenagers for advice.

Liu Chan had already helped him think about this problem, and said: "What uncle has to do now, first, immediately send people to eliminate all the secret agents of Soochow lurking in Jingzhou, so that Soochow won't get the information about Jingzhou again; secondly, start Prepare for war for Jiangling, and those who need to stockpile weapons and food should hurry up. I have read about the city wall. The moat should be deepened, at least deeper than the city foundation, so that when the enemy attacks the city, it will be difficult to dig tunnels..."

If so, Liu Shanlin and Mr. Lin said no less than twenty important things, which made Mi Fang dizzy.Among these suggestions, the reason why Liu Chan puts the eradication of spies first, besides the importance of intelligence, is to completely cut off the possibility of Mi Fang surrendering to Soochow!
Later, Liu Chan saw that Mi Fang was really incompetent, so he told him that after returning today, he would write down all the suggestions, and then send someone to bring them to him tomorrow.

When Mi Fang heard this, she was overjoyed, she immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Ah Dou, my good nephew, you are still the one who looks after Uncle!"

Liu Chan smiled, and thought to himself, if I didn't need you to defend Jingzhou, I wouldn't bother to talk to you idiot!
