When Mi Zhu and Mi Fang returned home, Mi Fang hurriedly asked, "Brother, why did we reject Yuan Shao?"

Mi Zhu explained: "Yuan Shao is strong outside but capable in the middle, and sooner or later he will be destroyed by Cao Shuo or Cao Cao. We don't need to take advantage of the future of the Mi family."

"But Xuzhou now belongs to Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao targets everywhere, how can we last long?"

Mi Fang looked worried, Yuan Shao was their immediate boss, and Tao Qian worked hand in hand with him, so if they rejected Yuan Shao this time, it would be very difficult for them to develop in Qingxu in the future.

However, Mi Zhu was very open-minded. The Chen family and Xiao family in Xuzhou did not express their views, and several other big families did not express their views. They were just waiting to see if Yuan Shao could defeat Zang Ba in March to improve the situation. His prestige in Xuzhou.

They just didn't expect that Yuan Shao would actually propose marriage to the Mi family and let the Mi family be the leader, to see what Yuan Shao would do against the Mi family.

"Report! Patriarch, second master, Chen Deng from the Chen family, please see me!"

The two were discussing Yuan Shao, but they didn't expect that Chen Deng would come here. Could it be that this guy didn't make a statement in front of Yuan Shao's emissary, did he want to secretly unite with the Mi family to form a unified line of defense?

"Brother Zizhong, brother Zifang!" Chen Deng walked in with a smile.

Mi Zhu asked, "What's the matter with Yuanlong?"

Chen Deng said meaningfully: "We are here to match Miss Mi and Yuan Shao!"

"Huh?" Mi Zhu's face turned gloomy for an instant, and this Chen Deng actually took refuge in Yuan Shao.

Chen Deng said: "Zizhong, although there are only two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu left in the Yuan family, their strength should not be underestimated, especially Yuan Shao, now sitting in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, looking at the world, only Cao Shuo can compete with him match."

Mi Zhu said: "Although Yuan Shao's family background is more prominent than Cao Shuo, in terms of personal ability, Yuan Shao is no match for Cao Cao, let alone Cao Shuo. There is no comparison between the two."

Chen Deng said in a deep voice: "Could it be that Zizhong is not afraid of Yuan Shao's revenge?"

Mi Zhu said with a look of disdain: "Revenge? If they want revenge because they rejected the Yuan family's marriage proposal, then I really look down on Yuan Shao."

He, Yuan Shao, can bully others because no one in Qingzhou and Xuzhou can do anything to him, but if Yuan Shao uses force against them, at worst, he will give his sister to Cao Shuo. With her sister's beauty, Cao Shuo will never refuse.

If he can climb up to Cao Shuo, let alone Xuzhou, even Qingzhou, Yuan Shao has to weigh his own army, whether it can stop Cao Shuo's army.

Chen Deng said in a low voice: "Brother Zizhong was so offensive just now!"

"What do you mean?" Mi Zhu looked at Chen Deng suspiciously.

Chen Deng explained: "Just now I was just trying to test Zhong Zhong. In fact, our Chen family is not optimistic about Yuan Shao. This man is very resourceful and successful. Comparing him with Cao Shuo, it is like a firefly compared to a scorching sun."

Mi Fang's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, isn't Haoyue even better?
"Yuanlong is looking for more than this thing today, isn't it?"

Mi Zhu guessed that if it was purely for this reason, even if Chen Deng didn't come, he knew that the Mi family didn't plan to join Yuan Shao.

"I don't know Brother Zizhong, do you think Cao Shuo is reliable? Can you help us fight Yuan Shao in Xuzhou?"

When Chen Deng explained his reason for coming, Mi Zhu was surprised. He didn't expect Chen Deng to directly join Cao Shuo.

Mi Zhu said with a sad face: "Cao Shuo is far away in Jizhou, how can he take Xuzhou into consideration?"

If Cao Shuo was in Yanzhou, he would have contacted Cao Shuo without hesitation, but Jizhou and Xuzhou were separated by several counties, how could he have traveled so far to cause trouble for himself?
Chen Deng said: "If brother Zizhong wants to join us, we can send a representative to Jizhou to see Cao Shuo's opinion."

"How many people know about this?"

Mi Zhu doesn't want to make this matter known to the whole city. Yuan Shao will definitely take revenge at that time. If he uses this as an excuse to destroy their Mi family and snatch his sister away, this is definitely not the result he wants .

"At present, only me, my father, and you and Mi Fang know about this matter."

Mi Zhu reminded: "It is not appropriate to add more people to this matter, in case the news leaks!"

"I think so too, so I just tested Zizhong's opinion just now."

The two hit it off immediately, and after discussing, they decided to let Mi Fang, as a businessman, go to Jizhou to contact the Zhen family, and through the Zhen family to contact Cao Shuo.

Mi Zhu looked at Mi Fang and confessed: "Second brother, don't cause trouble in Jizhou. Everything is about the overall situation. If the Zhen family doesn't want to form a line, we will find another way. We must not have conflicts with the Zhen family."

"Don't worry, brother, I know what to do!"

After Mi Fang left, Mi Zhu and Chen Deng discussed again to see which families were worthy of their wooing. After Cao Shuo expressed his opinion, they came forward to contact the heads of these families.

However, within two hours of Mi Fang's departure, someone from the Mi family came, which no one else expected.

"In Xiataishan County, Zhuge Gui asked to see Mr. Mi Zizhong."

When Mi Zhu received the notification from his subordinates, he looked confused. Zhuge Gui was also one of the big families in Xuzhou, and their influence in Langya County was not small. It handles the government affairs of the county.

What is the purpose of this person coming here today?

"Invite people to my study!"

Zhuge Gui came to Mi Zhu's study under the leadership of the servants of Mi Mansion, Zhuge Gui was not polite, and directly explained his purpose of coming.

"Zhuge Gui, the governor of Xiataishan County, met Mr. Zizhong."

"Sheriff?" Mi Zhu was stunned!
I haven't seen you for a few years, and this guy has changed from a county town to a county guard?He wouldn't be surprised if it was another county, but Taishan County belongs to Zang Ba, how did you become the county guard?
Mi Zhu questioned: "Lord Jungong, you said you are the sheriff of Taishan County?"

Zhuge Gui said firmly: "Yes, I was personally appointed by Jizhou Mu!"

"Uh……"

Mi Zhu wiped off his cold sweat, Jizhou Mu Cao Shuo appointed him personally?Can he, Jizhou Mu, appoint the governor of Yanzhou?Does it mean that Taishan County is already Cao Shuo's territory?

This is big news. They tried every means to contact Cao Shuo, but they didn't expect Cao Shuo's forces to be stationed in Xuzhou.

"I don't know where Zang Ba of Taishan County is now?"

Zhuge Gui explained with a smile: "Zang Ba has already taken refuge with my lord, Jizhou Mu Cao Shuo!"

"How is it possible!" Mi Zhu looked at Zhuge Gui with horror on his face. Although he thought of it a little bit, Zhuge Gui's own admission still terrified him.

This Cao Shuo was terrible. Not only did he win the Jibei Kingdom in Yanzhou, but he also defeated Taishan County without anyone noticing.

"In Tao Qian's house, our people saw that brother Zizhong rejected Yuan Shao's suggestion. I think you should have no interest in Yuan Shao. That's why I came to find Zizhong. I want brother Zizhong to serve as Jizhou Mu, Hu Cavalry General, Marquis of Wei Cao Shuo, and Cao Zi will serve together."

"I just sent my brother to Jizhou!"

"What a coincidence!"

The two smiled at each other!
