Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

"Lord, just say Zhang Manzi, don't involve me!" Guo Jia glanced at Cheng Yu with a guilty conscience.

The expression on the father-in-law's face remained unchanged, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no other way. After marrying a fierce woman and having a ruthless father-in-law, Guo Jia's life is really not as easy as before.

After the army entered the city, Xuzhou's prominent figures had been waiting in the main hall of the Prefectural Mufu for a long time.

Seeing Cao Cao coming in, they all stood up to greet him.

In fact, this is understandable. Tao Qian was seriously ill and bedridden, so Xiapi had a new owner.

We all have to support our families to make a living, so we can't have Tao Qian still being loyal by now, right?

Tao Qian valued the aristocratic family and despised the humble family, but he forgot that the aristocratic family valued profit but ignored friendship.

It's just so realistic.

But this can be regarded as another kind of cause and effect.

Cao Cao, escorted by Dian Wei, walked to the main seat and sat down.

Below, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, Xu Huang, Taishi Ci, and Xu Chu are listed separately.

After that came the officials from Xuzhou.

Cao Cao is the most realistic person. If the wealthy people in Xuzhou opened the city gate and let him in, he might have been treated as a guest at this moment.

Now that he can enter the city on his own merit, he will be embarrassed and treated as an ordinary guest.

Regarding the three or two kittens in Xuzhou, Cao Cao really wasn't in the mood to play like a polite corporal.

"Why don't you see Tao Shijun? Could it be that you look down on me, Cao Cao?"

Chen Gui quickly stood up and went out: "Shijun is feeling unwell. He is seriously ill in bed now."

Cao Cao was just being polite, he didn't care at all about Tao Qian's life or death.

It's best to be dead, and it doesn't matter if you're alive.

After looking around the hall for a week, Cao Cao asked: "Who is Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong? Please come out and see him."

"Xuzhou Mi Zizhong has met the prime minister."

Mi Zhu was seven feet tall, had a delicate face, and wore a white turban and a white robe. He was quite dignified, and he was neither humble nor overbearing when he was in court, which made Cao Cao very fond of him.

Mi's family was founded in business, and the family had a lot of money and food. The most important thing was the trade route in their hands, which allowed them to buy a steady stream of food from other states and counties.

This is what Cao Cao lacks most.

"Before I left the city, I heard that it was you who advised Tao Gongzu to resist Ji Ling's troops. I wonder if this is the case?"

Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, "This is for you to make a decision, and Zhu dare not take advantage of it."

Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, Zizhong lives up to his name as a humble gentleman. I would like to ask Zizhong to serve as Yanzhou's farewell driver. What do you think?"

this.

In the hall, Chen and Cao, two of the big families in Xuzhou, had not received any awards yet, but Mi Zhu, who started his career as a merchant, was inexplicably given the post of Yanzhou Biejia.

No one could help but be frightened.

Although Cao Cao was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he still led the Yanzhou pastoralists. Mi Zhu became the Yanzhou Biejia. Didn't he suddenly become an important minister of the Cao family?

In this era, business is a cheap industry after all.

Everyone didn't know what was going on.

But when Cao Cao acts, he will distinguish between high and low, to win over those who are conducive to the development of power, and to discard the useless like worn-out shoes. How can he deliberately distinguish the family status.

Mi Zhu took a deep breath, clasped his fists and bowed: "I have received so much love from the Prime Minister, how dare Zhu die without serving? Zhu still has a small income in Xuzhou, I hope the Prime Minister will accept it."

He thought he understood what Cao Cao meant.

His foundation is in Xuzhou, but Cao Cao asked him to stay away from Yanzhou. This was obviously because he took a fancy to his family property.

Mi Zhu didn't have any objections.

After all, business is a lowly industry. In exchange for higher development of the family, why not do it?

However, Mi Zhu obviously underestimated Cao Cao's ambition. Now that he decided to use him, Cao Cao was not short-sighted enough to directly take his family property.

All he wanted was the food and trade routes in Mi Zhu's hands. Money was really not that scarce in Xuchang.

"Don't mention the matter of donating the property. Zizhongda can move the Xuzhou industry to Xuchang, but the food in Mi's hands will be taken at the market price."

Looking at Cao Cao's sincere eyes, Mi Zhu was really moved this time.

Although he was Tao Qian's guest, he was often looked down upon because of his birth.

After doing this for a long time, it is inevitable to belittle oneself and lead to self-denial.

After suddenly receiving Cao Cao's approval, Mi Zhu had the consciousness to die for his confidant.

Mi Zhu stood in the hall, and after three bows and nine kowtows, he said: "Thank you for your lord's love, Zhu is ashamed, but I also hope that your lord will not mention the purchase of grain. There is money and grain in the Mi family's treasury, and Zhu will keep it for the moment."

, available at any time if needed. "

From the prime minister to the lord, Mi Zhu has already expressed his thoughts.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and went down to the hall to help Mi Zhu up in person: "Zizhong is really a righteous man. I heard that Zizhong's sister is of marriageable age, so I say this on behalf of my useless son-in-law. What do you think?"

? ”

A gasp of cold air could be heard in the hall.

Cao Cao's useless son-in-law.

Is it really useless?

He was a hussar general of the Han Dynasty, a champion marquis, and a serious Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.

Apart from other things, the Mi family reached this high branch and not only became a top wealthy family, but they also became close to Cao Cao and had an old relationship with them.

The top families may mind if their legitimate daughter is a concubine, but this also needs to be divided. It is better to be the concubine of a prince than the wife of the head of Guizhou, so how can it be just talk.

Guo Jia on the side was even more jealous.

I thought that Zhang Manzi was so lucky that his father-in-law helped him find concubines.

You must know that even Cao Ang, the eldest son of the prime minister, only has two wives and concubines so far, and all marriages are arranged by the Ding family. Cao Cao has never cared about his son's heart.

.

When Guo Jia thought about his family's situation again, he felt like crying.

Not to mention taking concubines, even if you go out for a drink, you have to be sneaky and cautious, for fear of being discovered by the fierce woman in the family.

Seeing Mi Zhu in a daze, Cao Cao pretended to be angry and said, "Why, does Zizhong look down on my worthless son-in-law?"

Only then did Mi Zhu come back to her senses and waved her hands repeatedly: "How dare you, how dare you, my sister-in-law is the one who has the upper hand."

After the goal was achieved, Cao Cao went to take care of the other people in the hall. He took Mi Zhu and asked him to drink.

Instead, respectable heavyweights like Chen Gui and Cao Bao were left aside.

Bingzhou.

Zhang Wu, who was far away in Jinyang, didn't know that he had a beautiful woman as a concubine for no reason.

In the military camp.

The dust was flying, and the cavalry of five thousand people had already assembled.

This includes two thousand flying bear cavalry and three thousand newly formed wolf cavalry.

It has been some time since the formation and training of the Wolf Cavalry, and Zhang Wu was preparing to take these wolf pups to see the blood outside the customs.

Troops who have never seen blood, no matter how fierce they look, are still novices on the battlefield.

Now is the peak season for grassland grazing, and Zhang Wu doesn't mind teasing the Xianbei people's tiger beards.

It's hard to say that you can even make a fortune.
