Chapter 468 Mi Zhu
Liu Paopuo's face was gloomy and terrible, and the generals under his command were silent. Now the entire Nanyang County is in panic. There are four cities in the entire Nanyang County, which are under the siege, Anzhong Deng and Wancheng, the main city of Nanyang.
"Why don't we let him leave it alone?" someone next to him suggested.
But before this proposal was released, Liu Bei was caught by him at a glance. People were beaten to your door. You let Liu Paopu let him go? Although it is not a big deal to Liu Paopu, you have to know that Liu Paopu has a family business now. Although Zhang Xiu, the former owner of Nanyang, did not know how to manage, the four cities in Nanyang were also his own territory. Liu Bei's territory was also somewhat of a family business. Liu Mang sent three thousand cavalry, not three thousand foot. If he was three thousand infantry, then he would be free. After all, the infantry's mobility is not strong, and Liu Paopu can completely eliminate him. Even if he hides in the mountains and forests, he just needs to warn his city to be safe and prepared. The three thousand light cavalry is different. Liu Mang's light cavalry is still one person and two horses. This maneuverability makes Liu Paopuo jealous. A good horse is expensive, but Liu Mang is still playing with one person and two horses.
It can be said that there are three thousand light cavalrymen in Nanyang County in one day. They may be near Wancheng in the morning, and may be back to Wancheng in the evening. This is not that they are standing still in Wancheng, but that they have been walking around for a whole lot.
Now the threat of these three thousand light cavalry is great. Wancheng is now short of food and grass, all supplied from Yuzhou. The grain team in Yuzhou is transported there. If it is intercepted by three thousand light cavalry, then Liu Bei's army in Nanyang County will be ready to drink the northwest wind.
"Did the military advisor have a letter?" Liu Bei asked his subordinates. He was now missing the time when Pang Tong was by his side. He did not need to be so irritable at that time. Now the facts have to be done by themselves.
"The military advisor has never come to the news," the person in charge of contact answered. How dare Pang Tong reply? Zhang Fei was almost ruined by Huang Sho. If he had really calculated this, Liu Bei would probably be able to raise his troops and fight Liu Biao immediately.
Liu Bei was born with two powerful brothers under his command. Even if Liu Bei could bear it, Guan Yu, who was in Yuzhou, might not be able to bear it.
"Well! Let An Zhong be put in first, and the gate of Dengshu City is closed, and be on guard against Liu Mang's army!" Liu Bei issued an order.
"Lord. If these three cities are closed, what should we do with the market in Jingzhou and the transportation of military food?!" Jian Yong has been following Liu Bei. Although he lost a little in his strategy, he is a good player in overall planning.
When he arrived in Nanyang County, Liu Paopu called Jian Yong back from Yuzhou in order to let Jian Yong help him coordinate the supplies in Nanyang.
"Yes, lord, over the past few days, we have obtained thousands of kilograms of salt and iron from Jingzhou. It is enough for our army to build hundreds of pairs of heavy armor and thousands of long swords. If this gate is closed, what should this deal be done?" Another person came forward and said something. Although this person was not extremely handsome, he was also a handsome man. He looked pleasing to the eye. However, when Liu Paopu saw this person, his brows furrowed.
It turns out that this person is not someone else, but the person who is the best at trading in Liu Bei's army, that is, Liu Bei's brother-in-law, Mi Zhu, the richest man in Xuzhou.
Mi Zhu was once considered a person who was rich enough to rival a country. Almost half of the money and grain in Xuzhou was used by Mi Zhu. Why did Xuzhou attract Cao Cao's attack at that time? Not only was it because his father died in Xuzhou, but the main reason was that Cao Cao fell in love with Xuzhou's money and grain was like Sun Ce in Jiangdong. No matter how much the price it cost to take Xuzhou, he could replenish it. Therefore, the old Cao in Xuzhou was bound to be the time. If Lu Bu hadn't been in the back, how could Liu Bei get Xuzhou alone? And Mi Zhu's family income was half of Xuzhou, known as Xubanzhou, you could see Mi Zhu's family wealth.
Even if Lu Bu occupied Xia Pi Mi Zhu, he could still use 10,000 wealth and send 3,000 servants as dowry. This was the basis for Liu Bei to make a comeback in Xiaopei.
However, Liu Bei's brother-in-law, a favorite minister at that time, has now become a person who makes Liu Bei frown.
The first reason was that Mi Zhu no longer had the same effect as before. Mi Zhu's wealth had been dispersed. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu looked down on the Mi family as a merchant family. What if they had a wealth of thousands of yuan? Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants were the most humble class. Liu Bei was able to scold his two younger brothers because of the heavy weight of the Mi family, but now he became less and less concerned. Not only that, even if Zhang Fei mocked the Mi brothers in person, Liu Bei would only turn a blind eye, and the links that had previously connected the two parties disappeared. Mi Zhu was Liu Bei's brother-in-law.
But Mi Zhu's sister, Liu Bei's wife, Mrs. Mi, has disappeared, and the one who is missing is Mi Zhu's younger brother.
Mi Zhu suddenly became a naked official in Liu Bei. If Mi Zhu hadn't been for Mi Zhu's business manpower, Liu Bei might have been even less concerned about Mi Zhu.
‘Zi Zhong, stop the deal with Jingzhou first!’ Liu Bei said that he would still save face.
‘My subordinates know!’ Mi Zhu nodded. Doesn’t Mi Zhu know about Liu Bei’s indifference to himself? He can feel who he is! He is a big businessman. A businessman is good at observing his words and expressions. How could he not feel Liu Bei’s indifference? But he was helpless. What can he do if he is a businessman and a businessman? He does not have the ability to take the heads of the enemy generals about Zhang Fei, nor does Jian Yong’s coordination, nor does Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan’s ghost plan. He only has the ability to make money. Liu Bei’s Yuzhou is short of money now, but Liu Bei also has less capital to trade for Mi Zhu.
‘Okay, let’s get here today!’ Liu Bei rubbed his forehead. He was tired. He was very troubled and frustrated by the three thousand Liu Mang’s light cavalry outside the city. It would be fine if you say he was bullied when he was a commoner. He became an official and became an emperor uncle for his life. But now he has territory and army, he can still be bullied at the door of his house. This must be frustrated. Liu Bei’s patience does not mean that he will not be angry if he is bullied.
Since the encirclement cannot be encircled, then I simply close the door and see it. Anyway, these three thousand light cavalrymen are difficult to attack the city.
All the lord Liu Bei, the lord, went down, and the ministers naturally dispersed one by one.
‘Oh!’ He sighed as he looked at his colleagues who were away, because those colleagues were all from their companions, and Mi Zhuque could only be alone, because no one dared to get too close to Mi because he was afraid of offending the second and third generals. There was a younger brother who went down to the court hall with him, but now he was the only one. Brother, where are you, life or death?
Just as Mi Zhu was preparing to leave alone, a voice sounded from behind, "Zi Zhong is moving slowly, I can't catch up with the pace too fast!"
