Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce in surprise, and asked, "Bo Fu is very optimistic about Liu Bei?"

Sun Ce explained: "Liu Bei is single and weak in Yuzhou, and is far away from our army. We also have Yuan Shu as an enemy at the same time. Isn't that the reason for the so-called long-range friendship and short-term attack?"

"Liu Bei won't stay in Yuzhou for long, otherwise I would suggest that Bofu form an alliance with him!"

"Why?" Sun Ce was amazed. Liu Bei's servants and generals were all superior to his own. Why didn't Zhou Yu favor Liu Bei?

Zhou Yu explained: "Liu Beiwu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are two peerless generals, and Zhao Yan and Du Xi are two far-sighted men. It is reasonable to say that it is not difficult for him to defend Yuzhou, but he unexpectedly fought against Yuan Shu at the same time. , to attack a stronger enemy, Dong Zhuo, which shows how arrogant this person is."

Dong Zhuo's strength was by no means what it appeared on the surface. Although Lu Bu was not by his side, their Xiliang iron cavalry was by no means something that others would dare to confront head-on.

Zhou Yu said again: "Is Cao Shuo strong? He didn't dare to occupy Henan Yin. Cao Cao was stronger than Liu Bei, but he still didn't go deep into Henan Yin. As soon as he was a soldier, Liu Bei began to ignore the princes. This man not only Arrogant and conceited."

Sun Ce said: "Listening to Gong Jin's analysis, then Liu Bei really made a bad move!"

"If this person can learn a lesson from this incident, then he will definitely achieve much higher achievements in the future than he is now."

Zhou Yu felt that as long as Liu Bei's family fortune was still there, he would definitely be able to make a comeback. This man could win the hearts of the people wherever he went. He was very reliable as an ally, but he would definitely cause headaches as an enemy.

The two chatted and chatted, and then they talked about Zhou Yu's marriage.

"Gongjin, you are old and not young, so you don't have a rich girl to look up to?"

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu curiously. He has married two concubines, and Zhou Yu is still single. Could it be that he hasn't forgotten the two girls from the Zhen family in Jizhou?

Cao Shuo's approach is very straightforward, the sisters of the Zhen family look very similar, and this person is lustful, so he will definitely not take advantage of others.

Cao Shuo took care of the Zhen family's business, and it developed very quickly. The princes all traded with them. Cao Shuo would never let others get involved in the Zhen family.

"My brother's foundation has just started to improve, and there are many affairs in the military, so I have no time to consider this matter!"

"Hey, Gong Jin is like this, it makes things difficult for Brother Wei!"

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu with a face full of remorse, and said, "Gong Jin, what do you think of my sister?"

Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat, an ugly look flashed across his face, and then disappeared instantly.

He had met Sun Ce's two elder sisters before, not to mention comparing them with the sisters of the Zhen family, even compared with Mrs. Wu, they were very different in appearance.

He was very surprised, why Sun Ce's mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law looked so amazing, but when it came to his daughter, they became another kind of 'amazing'!

"Bo Fu, there are still some matters in the army, I will go back first."

Zhou Yu stood up and said goodbye to Sun Ce, which made Sun Ce smile wryly, this guy is too serious.

After Zhou Yu left, Sun Ce also left the mansion. He was going to visit Jiangdong Erzhang to find two strong helping hands for himself.

"Brother, are you going to find my little lady?" Sun Quan stopped Sun Ce's way as soon as he left the house.

Sun Ce frowned, and said with a slightly ugly face, "Brother Quan, I have something important to deal with, so you should take your guards to look for it slowly."

"Oh!" Sun Quan left disappointed.

Chapter 194 Tao Qian attached to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao married the Mi family

After Yuan Shao's envoy Wang Xiu came to Xuzhou, he told Tao Qian what Yuan Shao meant.

After discussing with his subordinates, Tao Qian decided to join Yuan Shao.

"Brother Gongzu understands righteousness deeply, I thank you on behalf of my lord!"

Wang Xiu bowed to everyone in the hall.

Tao Qian said: "From now on, the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou will be under the command of Benchu, and all the generals will obey Benchu's dispatch."

"promise!"

Wang Xiu asked: "Brother Gongzu, how many soldiers and horses are there in Xuzhou?"

Tao Qian replied: "Five thousand cavalry, [-] infantry, and [-] sailors!"

Wang Xiu was overjoyed, he didn't expect Tao Qian to have [-] sailors, isn't this exactly what the lord wants?

Since there is a water army, Tao Qian must have a general who trains the water army, so they will still be afraid of Cao Shuo's water blockade in the future?It's ridiculous.

"I don't know who will train the navy?"

Wang Xiu looked at Tao Qian expectantly, and Tao Qian replied, "Lv Fanyu, Captain of the Marine Army, is in charge!"

Tao Qian glanced at Lu Fan, Lu Fan stood up, and said respectfully: "Lv Fan and Lu Ziheng, I am willing to expand the territory for Yuan Gong and protect the safety of one side!"

Wang Xiu said: "Your Majesty's lack of generals in the navy has caused him Cao Shuo to harass our Qingzhou on the water many times. If Ziheng joins us, then Cao Shuo's navy will be nothing to worry about."

Lu Fan said firmly: "I grew up by the sea since I was a child, and I have learned the method of training sailors in the south of the Yangtze River. I will definitely help my lord solve problems!"

"Where is our navy?" Wang Xiu looked at Lu Fan suspiciously.

Lu Fan explained: "Originally the navy camp was in Hailing Port, Guangling County, but Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, didn't want to offend Cao Shuo, so he drove our navy to Haixi Port!"

"Zhang Chao?"

Wang Xiu narrowed his eyes, this guy must be Cao Shuo's internal response, it seems that he has to inform the lord, let this guy leave Guangling County as soon as possible!

To the south of Guangling County is Danyang County, Yangzhou, which is ruled by the river with Danyang. The geographical location is extremely important. People who have two hearts for the lord must not stay here.

Tao Qian said: "Zhang Chao has always been a disaster in Guangling County, we must get rid of it as soon as possible."

Tao Qian's number one general, Cao Bao, said: "Let the last general lead two thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry, and I will destroy Zhang Chao."

Zhao Yu persuaded: "Zhang Chao has [-] sailors, [-] cavalry, and nearly [-] infantry in his hands. We can't take it lightly. It's better to let Yuan Gong send two generals to help our army destroy Zhang Chao."

Cao Bao blew his beard and stared angrily, you clearly look down on me.

"Hmph, the last general is willing to lead the military order, if he loses, he is willing to be punished!"

Wang Xiu said: "General Cao is brave. I have heard about it in Qingzhou. However, Zhang Chao has a lot of soldiers. If General Cao is alone, I am afraid that many soldiers will be lost. It is better to find two helpers."

Tao Qian persuaded: "General Cao, this matter cannot be rushed, we must obey Yuan Gong's orders."

Cao Bao saw that everyone was dissuading him, so he didn't insist any more. If he violated the lord's wishes as soon as he took refuge, his future future would be worrying.

But now he is eager to perform meritorious service and gain a firm foothold in Yuan Shao's army, otherwise he will always be inferior to others.

"When I came, the lord told me that we must first remove the obstacles between Qingzhou and Xuzhou!"

Tao Qian said: "Zang Ba has occupied Taishan County for many years, occupying Langya Kaiyang all the year round, how easy is it to destroy him?"

If Zang Ba was so easy to deal with, they would have killed him long ago.

Wang Xiu said: "After the weather warms up in March, my lord will personally lead the army to wipe out the Taishan bandits."

Representatives of several big families in Xuzhou, such as Chen Gui, Mi Zhu, Xiao Jian, etc., have been waiting and watching. They are not optimistic about Tao Qian's joining Yuan Shao.

Among the vassals, Yuan Shao belongs to the kind of existence that is more than enough than the top. Compared with Yuan Shu and Sun Ce in the south, Yuan Shao is still remarkable, but if he is compared with Cao Cao in the west and Cao Shuo in the north, he must , he has no advantage at all.

Yuan Shao and Cao Shuo fought several times, and each time they were defeated miserably. If you lose, you lose. You have to send some compensation to the other party to redeem your son.

Yuan Shao's Qingzhou was already a bit short of resources, and he asked Xuzhou for food and grass many times. Under such circumstances, Tao Qian would still attach to Yuan Shao.

Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries, and when they thought Wang Xiu was about to leave, he suddenly came to Mi Zhu and asked, "I heard that Miss Mi's family is staying in her boudoir, and her second mission here is to represent the lord. Get married with the Mi family."

"Get married?"

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were stunned at the same time, Yuan Shao married the Mi family at this time, the purpose was too obvious, Yuan Shao must have taken a fancy to the property of the Mi family.

They are both the same protagonist, why is there such a big gap?With the help of Cao Shuo, the Zhen family thrived. Originally, they only did business in Hebei, but now they have extended their business to Jiangnan.

But Yuan Shao has nothing, and Mi Zhu doesn't think that the Mi family will ban the Zhen family with Yuan Shao's help. Not only will they not be banned, but the gap between them may become wider and wider.

"Little sister is still young and has no intention of getting married!" Mi Zhu resolutely rejected Wang Xiu's proposal.

Mi Fang on the side wanted to speak, but was stopped by Mi Zhu.

Tao Qian persuaded: "Brother Zi Zhongxian, the Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and there are many family officials. If we can get married with the Yuan family, wouldn't the Mi family's business road be much smoother?"

Mi Zhu replied: "Sorry, the Mi family has no intention of marrying anyone!"

Mi Zhu thought to himself, is he planning to let his younger sister marry Yuan Shao's two good-for-nothing sons, or is he planning to let her marry that good-for-nothing Yuan Shao?

Mi Zhu has long wanted to act as an agent for the Zhen family's products, but unfortunately there is no way out. If they get too close to Yuan Shao, they will definitely be suppressed by the Zhen family and Jizhou.

Wang Xiu said, "Brother Zizhong, why are you so stubborn?"

"It's not because I'm stubborn, but because of the situation. If Mr. Yuan can help me solve the current predicament of our Mi family, I can consider the marriage of the two families."

"What predicament?" Wang Xiu looked at Mi Zhu suspiciously.

"The Zhen family's products have already entered Xuzhou, and our Mi family is blocked everywhere. If Mr. Yuan can drive the Zhen family's chamber of commerce out of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, this matter can be discussed again."

"This……"

Wang Xiu looked embarrassed. Although they had a deep hatred with Cao Shuo, the products of the Zhen family were really good. If they refused the inflow of the products of the Zhen family, then their Mi family did not have the conditions to replace the Zhen family.

"I need to go back and discuss this with the lord!"

Mi Zhu said: "I hope Yuan Gong will be considerate. If the Zhen family is not driven out, our Mi family's business will be difficult. We still have to keep a part of the family property to live."

Everyone looked helpless, they could see that Mi Zhu didn't want to give Yuan Shao his family property for nothing.

Chapter 195 The Big Xuzhou Family with Different Hearts

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."
