The messenger sent by Liu Mang naturally didn't want to do anything, because Liu Mang knew that he could not force a person to the extreme. Once you do this, there would be no other result except to kill the death. It is true that Sun Gan was captured by Liu Mang, but it is impossible for Sun Gan to betray Liu Bei directly, because Sun Gan was already a loyal person to Liu Bei. This article was first published by...

"I wonder what Mr. Sun Gan has to think of Mi Zhu under General Zuo!" The envoy sent by Liu Mang asked Sun Gan with a smile.

"Mi Zhu?!" Sun Gan subconsciously frowned when he heard this name because he didn't like this person.

Who is Mi Zhu? He is a businessman. Even though he was once the richest man in Xuzhou, his identity as a businessman was destined to be. Mi Zhu has a low status, and Sun Gan is a gentry and is a person recommended by the great scholar Zheng Xuan to Liu Bei. Naturally, he is a point higher than Mi Zhu, but at the beginning, Sun Gan would not look down on Mi Zhu.

At most, he and Mi Zhu are two people in two parallel worlds. They have no intersection with each other. Mi Zhu is good at business, and he is good at government affairs, so it is difficult for the two to get along.

But after that, Sun Gan felt disgusted with Mi Zhu, that is, Mi Zhu is close to Pang Tong.

In fact, this was also a helpless move by Mi Zhu. The Mi family was a family of merchants. Among Liu Bei's army, the one who hated merchants the most was not others, but Liu Bei's second brother, the most proud person in the entire Liu Bei army, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang.

Guan Yu was originally a person who was not good at hiding his feelings. He could feel the disgust of the Mi family even a fool, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a pretty good relationship with Sun Gan.

The relationship between Sun Gan and Pang Tong was as powerful as fire and Pang Tong. When Pang Tong started to join Liu Bei's army, he was brushing Mi Zhu. What would you choose? Instead of being disgusted by Guan Yu, it would be better to accept Pang Tong's kindness. Mi Zhu was a businessman after all.

Sun Gan hated Pang Tong, so naturally Mi Zhu was also disgusted.

"Mi Zizhong is talented!" Sun Gan obviously didn't want to talk about Mi Fang more, but he was a scholar, and Sun Gan also learned Confucianism, so Sun Gan still couldn't describe the shortcomings of people behind his back, so he could only summarize it with talent! As for the talent of this person or the talent of Chaihuo, it's a big deal.

"Haha!" The envoy of Liu Mang saw Sun Gan's reaction and smiled in his eyes.

"Mr. Gongyou, there are only you and me here. Let's open the window and speak loudly!" Liu Mang's envoy directly cut into the topic. "Our lord. I don't like Mi Zhu very much, so I hope Mr. Sun Gan gets rid of this person with us!"

"Eliminate this person?" Sun Gan was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how Mi Zhu offended King Liu Mang of Shu. You should know that although Mi Zhu was once the richest man in Xuzhou, that was the same. Mi Zhu now lost the halo of Xu Banzhou. When Liu Bei attached importance to politics and military, the position of a businessman without capital was as embarrassing as it would be. For Liu Mang, Mi Zhu was just a small person.

"It was not Mi Zhu who offended our lord, but his younger brother Mi Fang who offended our lord!" The envoy of Sun Gan's doubts, Liu Mang had already prepared a speech. Using the Battle of Yingshang as a shadow, Mi Fang almost seriously injured his lord. Then he took over Liangzi, and what he hoped now was to make the Mi family uneasy.

"Impossible!" Sun Ganxiang refused without thinking. Although the merchants were humble, they were a necessary condition under their governance. Without merchants' mutual exchanges and without merchants selling their goods to various places, then this state would not be able to manage well. After all, the people do not produce salt and iron. Some states also need these merchants. If Mi Zhu is killed, it will be difficult for Liu Bei's subordinates to come up with a business person. Sun Gan will not betray the interests of his lord.

"Is it impossible?" The envoy of Liu Mang was not in a hurry. "Mr. Gongyou, don't worry, reject me!" Liu Mang's envoy walked aside and found a chair to sit down.

"Mr. Gongyou should know where Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan, your Yuzhou are not here!" Liu Mang's envoy told the story. Where did Pang Tong go, Sun Gan naturally knew that Liu Bei lacked food and grass. In order to weaken Pang Tong, Sun Gan planned to use the background of his Pang family to support his lord Liu Bei. Just like Mi Zhu and others, he took out all his family wealth, which was to weaken Pang Tong.

"Jingzhou!" Liu Mang's envoy asked and answered, "I went to Jingzhou to get food and grass! With the ability of the Pang family and Pang Shiyuan, I can still get food and grass in Jingzhou! It depends on how much! If there is less food and grass, then Mr. Sun Gan will naturally have no worries!" If Pang Tong brought back to Jingzhou, Sun Gan could mock Pang Tong to reduce Pang Tong's position in the heart of his lord Liu Bei.

"If Pang Tong brought enough food and grass back to Pang Shiyuan, or if Pang Tong opened up the bridge between Yuzhou and Jingzhou, then Mr. Sun Gan was not talking about you, you would better be a human being with your tail between them, otherwise you would be killed by Pang Shiyuan, and I believe General Zuo would not interfere!" Liu Mang's envoy looked at Sun Gan with a sneer and said.

"Fart!" Sun Gan was angry, what does it mean to be a human being with his tail between his legs and what does it mean to be killed by someone? Sun Gan was so angry that he even reported that he was swearing.

"What, Mr. Sun Gan, I'm wrong! Now you are just a prefect of Yuzhou, and Pang Shiyuan is already a prefect of Yuzhou!" Liu Mang's envoy continued to speak. The official position of the prefect is the same as a prefect, and it is a salary of one thousand stones, but the prefect is equivalent to the secretary of the provincial party committee. Even if the real power is not as high as a prefect, it is better to go directly to the heavens.

Originally, Sun Gan was the other person in charge, but after Pang Tong came, Sun Gan gave way.

"Mr. Sun Gan, don't forget Ruyin!" Liu Mang's envoy continued to speak. Ruyin was a pain for him. Pang Tong's suggestion, which made Liu Bei ask Sun Gan to guard Ruyin, and he didn't let him sing a plan for empty city. Originally, Sun Gan planned to use Ruyin's food and grass to survive, but who knew that the final redeemable food and grass was also burned by Pang Tong's fire. This was the rhythm of trying to force Sun Gan to death. Before this, Pang Tong wanted to kill Sun Gan. Once Pang Tong opened up the connection between Liu Bei in Yuzhou and Liu Biao in Jingzhou this time, Pang Tong's status in front of Liu Bei would be even higher. Originally, Sun Gan and Guan Yu supported him, but now seeing that Pang Tong's role could help his elder brother achieve a career, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu gradually changed their attitudes.

Once Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also brushed by Pang Tong, then Sun Gan will be in real danger.

"What does this have to do with Mi Zhu!" Sun Gan asked with red eyes as he looked at Liu Mang's messenger and roared.

"Once the bridge between Jingzhou and Yuzhou is opened, business transactions will inevitably be frequent. With the wealth of Jingzhou, a large number of merchants will definitely pour into Yuzhou. Yuzhou will inevitably need a business host, and this person is Mi Zhu!" Liu Mang's envoy finally expressed his purpose.

"Mi Zhu is not valued by Liu Bei now. But once Jingzhou and Yuzhou are engaged in trade, Mi Zhu will definitely use Jingzhou to make Yuzhou rich again! And this Mi Zhu is Pang Tong's person. Once this person gains power in front of Liu Bei, how likely can Mr. Gongyou have to fight with Pang Tong!"

Mi Zhu has no place to use his skills now, because Liu Bei puts his focus on military affairs, and he has made him lose his temper with food and grass. He has no time to care about business. Once the problem of food and grass is solved, Liu Bei needs Mi Zhu's ability whether he wants to expand his army or govern the entire place.

If you expand your army, you will naturally need military and armor, and you will naturally need food and salary. Isn’t these all relying on business? Nanyang and Yuzhou are not iron-producing places, even if you have one, Liu Bei doesn’t have so many good craftsmen, so trade in Jingzhou is indispensable.

Sun Gan frowned tightly. He hesitated. He didn't know whether he should do that. Although he was cruel to Pang Tong, he was indeed loyal to Liu Bei. If Mi Fang was harmed, Pang Tong would have lost one assistant, but Liu Bei would also lose one help.

"Of course, what Mr. Gongyou said is based on the premise that Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan were able to open the bridge between Jingzhou and Yuzhou, but now hehe!" This envoy of Liu Mang did not say anything, because his lord was also in Jingzhou. Whether Yangzhou was to win over Jingzhou or Yuzhou was to win over Jingzhou is a different story.

Now, it is a major choice to put Sun Gan's face. If Mi Zhu and Liu Bei are eliminated, they will lose a great help. However, this is based on the alliance between Liu Bei's army and Jingzhou army. If an alliance cannot be formed, then Mi Zhu is still a useless person. If Mi Zhu is not eliminated, once Yuzhou and Jingzhou form an alliance, then Pang Tong's status will be really indestructible in Yuzhou. Although this envoy of Liu Mang said something bad, it is a fact. At that time, Sun Gan really didn't want to fight Pang Tong. If you want to survive, it depends on Pang Tong's meaning. If you pity you, you will live a life of mercy. If you don't pity you, you will never say anything if you die.

"What should I do!" Sun Gan was still moved. He was actually comforting himself. What comforted him was that Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan could not allow Yuzhou to be alliance with Jingzhou. Then Mi Zhu would be a useless person for Yuzhou. If a useless person, die! It would be okay to the lord's great cause.

"Mr. Gongyou doesn't need to do too much. Just need Mr. Gongyou to inform Mi Zhu that his brother and sister are still alive!" Liu Mang's envoy looked at Sun Gan's answer and immediately laughed. As long as Sun Gan agreed.

"It's that simple?" Sun Gan frowned. He originally thought he needed to slander himself in front of his lord Liu Bei and to use Sun Gan's connections, but now he only needs this sentence?

"Of course it won't be that simple, but we will do the rest!" Liu Mang and the others needed Sun Gan to pass the message because they were afraid that if they would go directly, Mi Zhu would not believe it because Mi Zhu was also a loyal person to Liu Bei. Even though Liu Bei was very ordinary to him now, for the sake of title and ability to make the Mi family aristocratic family, Mi Zhu would not believe what Liu Mang's army said, but once the person who passed the message became Sun Gan, the person who passed the message became Liu Bei's army's own person, it would be different.

Although Sun Gan is now suppressed by Pang Tong, Sun Gan is also Liu Bei's second military advisor. Of course, there are many things that he knows if he has a very high status.

After the negotiation with Sun Gan, Liu Mang's envoy naturally needed to do other things.

...

"My brother and sister are not dead?" Mi Zhu was so ecstatic to get the news. The news was not given to him by others. If it was said by others, Mi Zhu might hesitate. But this news was said by Sun Gan, the second military advisor in Liu Bei's hands. Naturally Mi Zhu believed it.

The most important thing is that Sun Gan said that he had met Mi Fang and Madam Mi in Ruyin. He said that Liu Mang wanted to use Mi Fang and Madam Mi to trade with his lord Liu Bei as bargaining chips. At that time, Sun Gan was also captured by Liu Mang, and threw it into the fire by Liu Mang, and almost burned to death. He escaped after a lifetime of death.

Although Mi Fang and Sun Gan also had a gap, after this news, his eyes looked at Sun Gan much better. As a result, his younger brother and sister said that one was the wife of the lord Liu Bei and the brother-in-law of the lord Liu Bei. If he killed it like this, this would not be of any benefit to Liu Bei's army and Liu Mang's army. From the perspective of a businessman, interests are the most important. Aren't these princes also merchants? It's just that the merchants pursue the interests of money, while they pursue the interests of territory and status.

After receiving this news, Mi Zhu was happy for several days. The meals have become much more delicious in the past few days. As long as he knows his sister and brother are alive, it’s good to have his own price given to redeem his younger brother and sister, it’s something he will consider in the future. As long as Mi Zhu is still alive, the money can’t be transferred back!

"Master, General Zuo sent someone to send people to say something was up for discussion!" Just as Mi Zhu was still immersed in a dream of how to redeem his sister and brother, the butler over there sent news.

"Okay, I understand. Get ready!" Mi Zhu people were so excited when they were happy. Soon they rode on horses and didn't sit in sedan chairs and went straight to the prefect's mansion. It can be said that Mi Zhu was almost the first to arrive. When they saw other people, Mi Zhu was still greeting him, even if those people ignored him.

Waiting for the whole person, it was not until a long time before the lord Liu Bei came slowly from the backyard.

As soon as he came forward, the civil and military personnel below were stunned for a long time, because Liu Bei was not wearing his general's clothing, but wearing a piece of clothing. This was not a cloth clothing, but a thick linen clothing. Even the people rarely wear such products, and it was very uncomfortable to wear them. Moreover, wearing this clothing also represents one thing, that is, there is a funeral.

Sure enough, Liu Bei immediately felt sad as soon as he appeared, and roared to the sky, and tears on his face dripped down for no money.

"Who is dead?!" Looking at the actions of the lord Liu Bei, the ministers below also started to scream. Although they didn't know who it was, the lord was sad, so of course you can't smile.

Mi Zhu also knelt down. He didn't know who died. Those who could only let the lord's important officials and relatives, and the lord's important officials were Pang Tongsun Gan Jianyong. If the relatives were considered intimate, they would be the second general Guan Yu and the third general Zhang Fei.

But who died? Sun Gan and Jian Yong were both here, and the second general Guan Yu was still in Yuzhou, so he would not die suddenly. Then there were only Pang Tong and Zhang Fei who were on the mission to Jingzhou.

Is Pang Tong dead? No, either. This is obviously a worship of the general after his death! Could it be Zhang Fei? Zhang Fei is so brave!

Just as Mi Zhu was thinking, a messenger who issued an order came out from behind Liu Bei.

He held a scroll in his hand and pulled it out and read it loudly. The scroll mentioned that their Mi family was awarded the title of title, Mi Zhu was awarded the title of the Township Marquis, his younger brother Mi Fang was awarded the title of Duting Marquis, and his sister was awarded the title of the Loyal Lady.

Mi Zhu should have been happy, with three titles in each family. This glory is truly supreme. It can be said that the Mi family will get rid of the humble identity of the merchant family, and will be a real aristocratic family.

But after a while, Mi Zhu's face changed, "Impossible, Impossible!" Mi Zhu couldn't believe it at all, because a woman was awarded a title, but a loyal lady was usually dead. And even if her younger brother was awarded a title, he should be lower than himself rather than higher than himself. But now he is just a village marquis, while Mi Fang is a Duting Marquis.

The following words of the commander's soldiers were simply Mi Zhu's nightmare. Both his younger brother and his younger sister died! He died in Yingshang? Mi Fang died in battle. His younger sister was loyal and unyielding, so she was named the loyal lady.

"Impossible, impossible!" Mi Zhu stumbled and crawled up, and he shook his head suddenly. He wished that all this was fake, but the scene in front of him told him that all this was true.

The lord Liu Bei is the uncle of the Han Dynasty, General Zuo, and he can't make such a joke.

"Zi Zhongjie is sad and change!" The tears in Liu Bei's eyes were like the tilting water of the Yangtze River. He didn't have any money at all. The tears as big as beans made people feel sad.

That's right! Mi Fang and Mrs. Mi were crying and "death" by Liu Bei! After Yang Jie ran away, Yang Jie was not found for several days. Jian Yong had already sent a dead soldier to Yangzhou. Liu Bei was also afraid that the night would be too long, so he directly asked Mi Fang and Mrs. Mi to "death" first. Only by crying and "death" first, then Yangzhou would not be able to use these two people to threaten Yuzhou again.

"All this is fake?" Mi Zhu had learned before that his younger brother and sister were still alive, and he was thinking about how to pay the ransom and let his younger brother come back. Here, there was news that his younger brother and sister had died in battle. How could Mi Zhu have reported it more?

"They are still alive, still alive!" Mi Zhu suddenly remembered. The news was Sun Gan, which was told by Sun Gan.

Mi Zhu turned his eyes to Sun Gan, but Sun Gan deliberately avoided and lowered his head directly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Zi Zhong, please be mournful and follow the changes!" Jian Yong also stepped forward and said to Mi Zhu.

"Zi Zhong, don't worry, as long as Shi Yuan comes back from Jingzhou, my army has food and supplies, I promise you to send troops to Yangzhou immediately to seek justice for Mi Fang and Zhen'er!" Liu Bei's words were so powerful that they avenged you. If it were ordinary people, they would have kowtowed and thanked him. But Mi Zhu had received news before that his younger brother and sister were still alive.

"Try back to justice. Get back to justice!" The generals below were also angry. Their mistress died and died at the hands of the enemy. The master was humiliated and died, so he naturally looked at the enemy.

So Mi Zhu was confused and didn't know how he got out. The three appointment letters he took away from Liu Bei were all accepted by the title, but the ones that were gone were his younger brother and sister.

Seeing Mi Zhu leave the conference hall, Liu Bei and Jian Yong looked at each other, their eyes full of smiles, and there was no trace of sadness.

"Mr. Gongyou, Mr. Gongyou!" Mi Zhu left Liu Bei's mansion, but he still didn't believe that his younger brother and sister died just like that. Seeing Sun Gan's figure, Mi Zhu immediately chased after him, and he wanted to find out whether his younger brother and sister were alive or dead.

But it was obvious that Sun Gan was avoiding Mi Zhu. When he saw Mi Zhu's scream, he not only did not stop but accelerated his pace of leaving.

"Mr. Gongyou!" Sun Gan wanted to leave immediately, but how could Mi Zhu do what he wanted? Mi Zhu ignored it and rushed over and grabbed Sun Gan.

Sun Gan can't get away even if he wants to leave now. He just needs to step forward with a tough bullet and "I don't know why Zizhong blocked my way!"

"Mr. Gongyou, Mi Zhu just wants to ask, is my sister and brother alive or die!" Mi Zhu looked at Sun Gan tightly.

"Die, die, die in Yingshang! He died in battle. The lord asked Xu Du to confer the title of Duting Marquis and the Zhongzhen Madam!" Sun Gan said with a flashing look.

"Diet in Yingshang?!" Mi Zhu obviously didn't believe it. "Mr. Gongyou, you didn't say that before. What you told me also saw my brother and sister in Ruyin!" Mi Zhu grabbed Sun Gan's grammatical problem.

When Liu Mang's army attacked Yuzhou, it first took down Yingshang, which had heavy troops to defend. On the contrary, Sun Gan's empty city, which had no soldiers and one soldiers, persisted for a longer time.

"Die, die! I've read it wrong, I've read it wrong!" Sun Gan's eyes were erratic and he didn't dare to look at Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu is a businessman or a top businessman, how could he not see the change in his face? Sun Gan is lying. Generally, businessmen have this kind of erratic look when they quote false prices.

"You are lying!" Mi Zhu now, no matter what he offended or not, he directly pulled Sun Gan.

"How could I lie? I died, but I died in Yingshang? I misread it!"

"You read that right, my brother and sister must have lived to Ruyin!" Mi Zhu grabbed Sun Gan. Maybe his brother and sister were really dead, but they definitely did not die in Yingshang.

"Are you upset? It's useless to say it. The lord said it's dead, it's dead!" Sun Gan was also angry. He was caught by Mi Zhu so much that his clothes were almost broken. He was angry and shouted loudly.

"The lord said he died, he was dead!" Sun Gan broke free from Mi Zhu with great strength. Mi Zhu was stunned by this sentence, and did not care that Sun Gan broke free and left immediately, leaving Mi Zhu alone.

Mi Zhu was the mansion that he returned in a daze. Although the housekeeper Lao Guan saw his master, he didn't dare to ask more questions.

Mi Zhu locked himself in the study alone. After a long time, Mi Zhu made a sound.

But his voice has become hoarse now, "Old Guan. Go to the woodshed and bring that person up!"
