Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 590
Zhu Wei felt that Liu Bei asked him to borrow siege equipment this time. It is very likely that Cao Cao knew that Zhu Wei had many special siege equipment, but deliberately borrowed Liu Bei's name.

Cao Cao may also be very interested in Zhu Wei's siege equipment, and wants to use it for reference, so that he can imitate this kind of siege equipment in the future, especially Zhu Wei's thunderbolt catapult that can throw rocks. It can make Cao Cao jealous.

It's a pity that Cao Cao also knew that Zhu Wei didn't really have a good impression of him. If he stepped forward, he would definitely not be able to get anything from Zhu Wei's side, so it would be different if Liu Bei stepped forward.

But Zhu Wei didn't want to show any interest to the envoys sent by Lu Bu and Liu Bei.

Liu Bei will not talk about it here. If he borrows some special siege equipment from the past, it is tantamount to handing over his own technology to Cao Cao for research. Even if Cao Cao fails to research the manufacturing principle of this siege equipment, But I can think of more countermeasures, isn't that just a vain enemy.

On Lu Bu's side, although the two parties are considered an alliance, Lu Bu is too worrying. I don't know what he will do this time. Lending him the siege equipment on his side is definitely a good idea. It must be the meat bun beating the dog, and there is no return.

So neither Zhu nor Wei wanted to lend any siege equipment. Well, maybe the cave car that filled the moat could be considered. Anyway, this kind of car has no technical content and is easy to be imitated. As for the siege tower, The Thunderbolt Catapult is a product of Zhu Wei's top-secret technology and will naturally not be loaned out.

It's just that after Zhu Wei discussed with Jia Xu, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others, even though he had such a plan, he still had to consider the wording of how to reject it.

The problem on Liu Bei's side is not very big. Anyway, the two sides have no friendship, and it is normal to lend favors or not.

But Lu Bu's side was another trouble. With Lu Bu's nature, if he knew that Zhu Wei refused, he might have some resentment towards Zhu Wei in his heart, and then he would push him to Yuan Shu's side.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wei felt that it was very troublesome to meet Lu Bu, a second-five boy, and he was really a person who didn't want to deal with more.

So after thinking about it, Zhu Wei simply asked the envoys from Liu Bei and Lu Bu to come to see him together, and then dismiss the matter together.

So soon Liu Bei's envoy Mi Zhu and Lv Bu's envoy Chen Deng came to the main tent of the army stronghold built by Zhu Wei outside the south gate of Shouchun City, and then entered the army tent one after another under the order from the tent.

Of course, both Mi Zhu and Chen Deng are from Xuzhou. In fact, they were both ministers under Tao Qian's tent, and they knew each other. At this moment, the two made some concessions, but it was Chen Deng who entered first, and Mi Zhu who entered later. Army account.

This Chen Dengnian was in his early thirties, dressed in a Confucian robe, he looked like a gentleman's son, but his figure was slender and thin, his cheekbones were visible, and he seemed a little sick.

It seems that Chen Deng loves to eat sashimi (sashimi) all the year round, and his body has been affected by parasites in raw fish meat, which made his body also show signs, but Chen Deng still doesn't know his illness, or he I don't know how to get rid of internal parasites, so I don't pay much attention to the condition of my body.

Anyway, before the actual onset of the disease, Chen Deng was still able to live a normal life, he just thought that he was weaker, and as a child of a rich Xuzhou family, he could find enough medicinal materials to nourish his body.

On the contrary, Zhu Wei felt a little pity looking at him. The problem is that Zhu Wei can't cure him now. Even Hua Tuo can't do anything about Chen Deng's condition. Besides, Zhu Wei hasn't been able to find Hua Tuo yet.

Of course, this Chen Deng was actually on Zhu Wei's side in secret, but now there is Liu Bei's envoy Mi Zhu with him, so Chen Deng also concealed his identity and saluted Zhu Wei, saying, " Xuzhou Chen Deng has met General Zhennan and Governor Jingyang!"

"Oh, it's Mr. Chen Deng, please sit aside and talk!"

Zhu Wei was polite to Chen Deng, so he returned the favor and asked him to sit on the military folding stool aside.

Then Mi Zhu also walked in. Mi Zhu is now 35 or [-] years old. Although he is not from a noble family and can only be classified as a poor family, he is also from a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou. The ancestors of the Mi family have been engaged in farming for generations. The Mi clan has nearly [-] servants, diners, and countless assets.

Before Tao Qian's time, Mi Zhu had already been enlisted by Tao Qian to work in Biejia, and it could be regarded as stepping into the threshold of an official's family from a humble merchant, but the Mi family had not been further promoted to the gentry class. A class that can be entered by being an official.

Therefore, when facing Chen Deng just now, Mi Zhu was still a little weaker subconsciously and let Chen Deng go first. This was not only because of his amiable nature as a businessman, but also because of his inferior status.

The division of ranks between scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen has been handed down since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Even if a businessman is rich, he lacks some social status on the official path and has been suppressed by the officials of all dynasties.

But now Mi Zhu obviously wants to take advantage of the troubled times so that the Mi family can change their family style, from a lowly merchant family to a high-ranking scholar family, so he hugged Liu Bei, a down-and-out Han family clan's thigh.

Although Liu Bei seems to have no capital at all, this is the time when it is worth investing. With a small investment, you may get huge rebates. For a businessman like Mi Zhu, it is naturally time to test his vision.

After all, other clansmen of the Han family like Liu Yao and Liu Biao, although they have more territory and status than Liu Bei, they also look down on merchants like Mi Zhu. The icing on the cake will not make them really tempted to pay attention to it, but it may make them fall in love with Mi Zhu's money, and then ruin their family and steal it.

But Liu Bei is different. At least Liu Bei has now shown some things worth investing in. One is the identity of the clan of the Han Dynasty, the other is the former master of Xuzhou, and the other is the support of fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei around him. It seems that he has some ability, so as long as Liu Bei is given a chance, Liu Bei will be able to pout.

As far as the original history is concerned, although Mi Zhu's investment was almost in vain, he finally succeeded with Liu Bei.

Well, without further ado, at the moment Mi Zhu is just holding the leg of Liu Bei, a dilapidated hero who can't see any improvement, which makes people feel that his investment has failed.

However, since Mi Zhu wants to change Mi's businessman background, he does not have the vulgarity of a businessman in his attire. , that would be ridiculed by other regular Confucian scholars...
