Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Dian Wei was thoughtful at first, then laughed, and cupped his hands at Mi Zhu, "Thank you for your heartfelt words, Mr. Dian, but Dian is not someone with big ambitions, and Shi Fenghou's visit to the prime minister is just a joke. Meat, I am already satisfied, besides, it is to protect the safety of my family master, and then I have nothing else to ask for!"

Mi Zhu stared at Dian Wei for a moment, then smiled wryly and leaned over to salute, expressing his admiration.

Afterwards, several people sat down again, talking about some trivial matters, while waiting for the news from Xu Sheng. Almost an hour later, news came one after another.

The first news was that Xu Sheng and his family had left the city safely, which reassured Mi Zhu.

The second piece of news was that there was indeed an official sent to Xu Sheng's house, but the Xu family was depleted, and the people in the government had no choice but to go back and report.

Dian Wei patted his heart with some fear, and said solemnly to Mi Zhu, "Thank you, sir, for your good fortune, otherwise today will be a disaster."

What Dian Wei said was sincere. If Xu Sheng’s family members were detained by Tao Qian because of him, Dian Wei thought to himself that with his own personality, if he got angry, he would probably do something like rob a prison. He also completely messed up this errand, so he was really afraid, and at the same time he was very grateful to Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu smiled and said modestly: "Mi doesn't dare to call it a fortune teller, but he just knew some news in advance and made some speculations."

At this time, Mi Fang who had been sitting with him suddenly said: "Tao Shijun has always had a good reputation, and he is not a violent person. How did elder brother see such a change?"

Mi Zhu was not so kind to Mi Fang, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have you thought about this before?"

Mi Fang was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "Of course I thought about it."

Mi Zhu asked again: "Then you don't know?"

Mi Fang was at a loss for words, she was speechless for a while, Dian Wei was amused by it, and helped him and said: "Please tell me clearly, Mr. Dian is also very curious."

Mi Zhu sighed lightly. He didn't want to say these words at first, but Mi Fang had already asked, so he couldn't hide it anymore, so he said, "General Dian Wei, have you ever heard of Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu in Pengcheng?" ?”

Dian Wei shook his head in a daze, he was a rough man, if he hadn't come to Xuzhou once, he wouldn't even know where Pengcheng was, let alone which onion Zhang Zhao was.

Mi Fang suddenly let out a soft "Huh", and then said: "Mr. Zhang was sent to prison by the envoy for some time ago?"

Mi Zhu nodded first, then shook his head, and said, "You only know one, but you don't know the other."

"Zhang Zibu is a resourceful man in Xuzhou. He is well-known, and my generation is far inferior. Before the New Year, Tao Shijun intended to enlist Zhang Zhao as an official, but Zhang Zhao refused. Zhao was contemptuous of him, so he sent Zhang Zhao to prison for disrespecting the elder Wei You."

Mi Zhu paused for a moment, with a look of regret on his face, obviously he disapproved of this matter, and he glanced at Mi Fang, and continued: "Because this matter is related to the reputation of the envoy, insiders are always salty, and outsiders only care about it." It is known that Zhang Zhao was imprisoned, but the specific reason is unclear, and the same is true of Mi, but there are too many strange things in this matter, and Zhang Zhao never concealed his whereabouts when he came to Tancheng, so before and after the contact, we can still see some inside information."

"Therefore, with Zhang Zhao's incident before and today's incident behind, although Xu Sheng's reputation is not obvious, there is no guarantee that the envoy will not be angry. Mi is worried that similar incidents will reappear, so Xu Sheng will be asked to join him. Family members leave the city as soon as possible."

"I see"

Dian Weizuo suddenly realized something, and at the same time curled his lips slightly, somewhat looking down on Tao Qian.

The most obvious comparison is Liu Biao, who was also unable to invite someone. No matter how depressed Liu Biao was, he still maintained his basic demeanor. What's the matter with Tao Qian directly sending people to prison?

While despising Tao Qian, Dian Wei did not forget to worship Li Yi in his heart. After all, Li Yi's methods are much better than others.

Mi Fang on the side listened to Mi Zhu's explanation, and felt very ashamed that he hadn't thought of this section, but soon, his shame turned into worry, and he asked, "Brother, since this is the case, will Tao Shijun make it difficult for me?" The Mi family?"

Dian Wei also hurriedly looked at Mi Zhu when he heard the words. After all, if the Mi family was suppressed, it would not be good for Li Yi.

Mi Zhu shook his head with a smile and said: "Zhang Zibu was imprisoned because although he is famous, his family foundation is mediocre, while my Mi family's reputation cannot be compared with his, but the business involves the livelihood of tens of millions of people. , as the Lord of Xuzhou, the envoy naturally has to consider the people, so as long as we don't offend the envoy too much, some trivial matters are fine."

Mi Fang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, but Dian Wei was still a little worried, and said: "Since Mr. has said so, Dian will not say more, but if there is any difficulty in the future, Mr. can bring the words to Nanyang! My family is gone, my lord will definitely help me!"

"Hehe, if there is a need, Mi will naturally not be polite."

After that, Dian Wei settled down in Mi's house. After one night passed, according to the news Mi Zhu got, Tao Qian did not mean to embarrass Mi's house, and he did not send anyone to follow Xu Sheng. After all, Xu Sheng was just an unknown person. It has been said that the little people above are unhappy and want to step on him. If they step on it, they may not have much sense of accomplishment, but if they fail, they will probably not be too disappointed. Therefore, this matter can be regarded as nothing.

At noon, the follow-up Pang Ji and others also arrived at Mi's house, but in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, all the accompanying soldiers and horses stayed outside the city, and only a few people entered the city.

Since Dian Wei arrived one day early, he did his part to introduce the two parties.

Mi Zhu responded calmly to this, because he already knew the identity of the visitor, but after listening to Dian Wei's recommendation, Mi Zhu was taken aback.

Because among Dian Wei's group, there is one more person who should not be here, Liu Pi, the leader of the Yuzhou Yellow Turban.

It turned out that when Dian Wei left He Yi's camp, Liu Pi and Gong, who had already decided to go to Li Yi, were worried that Dian Wei would encounter twists and turns on the road. After some discussion, they asked Liu Pi to accompany Dian Wei to Xuzhou. After all, Liu Pi still has some face in the group of "Yellow Turbans". When they meet the small thief Dian Wei, they can take care of themselves.

Naturally, Dian Wei would not refuse such kindness, and since Liu Pi had expressed such sincerity, Dian Wei could not neglect him, so he deliberately let Liu Pi enter the city together, and introduced Mi Zhu and others to get acquainted with him.

It’s just that Liu Pi’s appearance shocked Mi Zhu a little. The Mi family’s caravan traveled all over the country, so they naturally knew that the Yellow Turban forces in Yuzhou were not as good as the regular army, but no matter which family gathered together, there were tens of thousands of people. It's all okay, now that such a large force has suddenly taken refuge in Li Yi, and it seems that they still sincerely take refuge in it, so Mi Zhu has to admit that he still underestimated Li Yi's weight before.

However, while Mi Zhu reconsidered Li Yi, he also found that Liu Pi, the leader of the yellow scarf, was not in the right state. He was very cautious in his words and deeds, and he obviously lacked something that should be called "bandit spirit". Due to various psychological influences, Mi Zhu tested his words, but got a dumbfounding answer.

It turns out that Liu Pi, Dian Wei and others walked together all the way, and saw the appearance of the regular troops under Li Yi's command at close range, and their hearts were greatly shocked. Coming here with respect, he completely put away the edges and corners of his body.

Also because of this, before meeting Li Yi, Liu Pi took the initiative to express to Dian Wei that he hoped that after they defected to Li Yi, they could also train like Li Yi's elite descendants. It saves Li Yi the problem of breaking up the Yellow Turbans and reorganizing them after recruiting security.

After learning about Liu Pi, Mi Zhu's attitude towards Dian Wei and others became more polite, and he and Pang Ji agreed on a wedding date for the happy event of the two families, and Mi Zhu also promised that he would try to send his relatives to Nanyang in person when the time came. When I met Li Yi, even if Xuzhou really couldn't leave, I would ask Mi Fang to go on my behalf. It was full of sincerity, but when it came to the dowry, Mi Zhu just smiled and said nothing, and asked Dian Wei to wait. People are very curious, but it is not easy to ask too many questions.

Because the two sides got along well, Dian Wei and the others wanted to stay at Mi's house for a few more days, but on the third day, they unexpectedly received a letter from Li Yi. Dian Wei and the others did not dare to neglect, and confirmed with Mi Zhu After a lot of chores had been arranged, he set off for Yangquan County in Yangzhou to pick up Li Yi.

It just so happened that Dian Wei and the others had just set off, and Sun Ce, who had been thinking about Li Yi for a long time, had already arrived in Yangquan first.

Chapter 317 Zhuge Jin

In the past few days, Yangquan County has been very lively. The direct reason is not that Sun Ce who came quietly, nor that Li Xianghou from Nanyang is about to return to this place, but because there is a very rare auspicious omen here.

White deer!

There is a saying that "the king's filial piety will see the white deer". The news of the white deer in Yangquan County, although I don't know where it first came from, and I don't know who was the first to see it with my own eyes. Anyway, the city is now a big family I basically know that these days, there are many people wandering in the wild together every day, either wanting to have a glimpse of the white deer, or hunting it down.

And Huo Jun, who came all the way here under the banner of Li Yi, naturally got the news, and some people in his company even urged him to go to Li Yi to talk about it. Anyway, there are so many people in us. Got this fetish before.

However, although Huo Jun was quite fond of the white deer, he knew that Li Yi was not in the team now, and he had no way to report it. In addition to Li Yi's explanation before leaving, and the warning arrow, Huo Jun quickly calmed down. Not only did he not think about Bailu, but he ordered his troops to step up their guard and strictly ordered them not to cause trouble.

Afterwards, after Huo Jun reported to Li Yi's two wives-to-be as usual, he arranged for everyone to rest, got up early the next day and went on his way as usual, and didn't stay in Yangquan for an extra moment, which showed that he had nothing to do with the so-called White Deer. interest.

But Huo Jun's most normal behavior made Sun Ce, who was secretly observing, not calm.

What Sun Ce said to Yuan Shu in the battle report before was injured in attacking Wu County, which was only used to confuse others. In fact, his health is extremely good, otherwise it would not be possible to detour to Yangquan to ambush Li Yi.

And this so-called Bailu Xiangrui was also a trap specially set up by Sun Ce for Li Yi after listening to the advice of the think tanks around him.

Originally, Sun Ce thought that this trap was very reliable, because he felt that Li Yi was cunning, gloomy, and very ambitious. As long as he heard that Bailu was alive, he would definitely plan something. But with the arrangement made earlier, Li Yi could be led to a dangerous place to ambush him.

Don't say it's disgraceful to do so, the father's hatred is too great, and Sun Ce is not a pedantic person.

However, although the plan was good, the fact is that Sun Ce and a group of confidants could only hide in the forest outside the city and stare blankly at Li Yi's banner.

In order to avoid Yuan Shu's eyes and ears, Sun Ce only brought more than a dozen people with him on this trip. It is okay to sneak attack and kill them, but if Li Yi does not leave the brigade, they will have no chance at all.

"Ziyu, what's the reason?"

Sun Ce tightly held the spear in his hand, staring at the distance, feeling very resentful.
