Chapter 210 Mi Zhu’s decision.
In fact, Mi Fang didn't need to say much, Mi Zhu understood it after receiving the letter.
What's more, he also has his own ideas, that is, if the Zhen family can do it, can't their Mi family do it?
It doesn’t matter who you marry, my little sister is no weaker than anyone else!
After Mi Zhu made up his mind, he immediately wrote a letter and handed it to the messenger sent by Xu Wenhao.
The content of the letter was nothing more than agreeing to move the family to Luoyang, and how he planned to support Xu Wenhao, and finally hoping to marry his younger sister to Xu Wenhao.
This is the key point. If Xu Wenhao is not happy, then there is no need to continue the conversation.
The very next day after Mi Zhu wrote back to Xu Wenhao, Liu Bei visited the Mi family.
Mi Zhu understood the meaning.
Unfortunately, he had already bet on Xu Wenhao, so he naturally would not stay in Xuzhou. How could he possibly invest in Liu Bei?
He doesn't have a second younger sister, and even if he does, Liu Bei and Xu Wenhao are naturally hostile to each other, so he would not be able to support Liu Bei.
"Is it God's will that I, Liu Bei, should be killed?"
After leaving Mi's house, Liu Bei couldn't help talking to himself.
In fact, when Liu Bei visited the Mi family, his intention was to form an alliance with them.
If in the past, a famous prince like Liu Bei wanted to marry into their family, the Mi family would definitely consider it.
But now it is no longer possible, so naturally I have to play dumb.
Liu Bei was not stupid either. He obviously saw that the Mi family did not value him, so he misunderstood that the Mi family thought he was incapable of defending Xuzhou.
"Okay, since you Mi family all think I'm incapable, then I'm determined to defend Xuzhou for everyone in the world to see. I don't believe that you Mi family will not support me when the time comes!"
I can only say that there is nothing wrong with the nickname. Liu Bei's nickname is Liu Paopao, which means he was always defeated and ran away, and then picked himself up again.
A few days later, Cao Cao received a "visiting card" from Liu Bei, asking him to accept Tao Qian's apology, withdraw his troops and make peace, otherwise he would share life and death with Tao Qian.
How could Cao Cao agree to the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time just because of Liu Bei's persuasion? So he summoned his entire army to Xuzhou to prepare for the siege.
This time, Liu Bei won’t be able to wait for Lu Bu to attack Yanzhou or Cao Cao to withdraw his troops.
Fortunately, Tao Qian was not really incompetent, otherwise he would not be able to control Xuzhou.
He had tens of thousands of Danyang soldiers under his command, and together with other garrison troops, the total number reached 8.
However, compared with Cao Cao's well-equipped and highly combat-capable troops, it is still somewhat inferior.
In the end, Tao Qian could only ask Liu Bei to station troops in Xiaopei and block the front, and leave if things were impossible.
Liu Bei had long wanted to make a career, and thought that if he could hold on to Xiaopei, he might be able to become famous in one battle and take Xuzhou into his possession at the same time, so he naturally had no intention of refusing.
In this way, Cao Cao and Liu Bei came into conflict in Xiaopei.
Fortunately, Tao Qian was really willing to give people and allocated 3 troops to Liu Bei, which was able to block the first few waves of attacks.
Liu Bei was full of confidence after stopping Cao Cao, but at this moment, he heard a piece of news that made him collapse.
That means the Mi family moved to Luoyang to develop, and Liu Bei guarded Xuzhou in vain.
The reason why Liu Bei guarded Xuzhou so patiently was simply for the troops under Tao Qian and the wealth of the Mi family.
Now the Mi family moved directly to Luoyang, and he took over Xuzhou.
But this is the most impossible thing.
You have to know that Liu Bei came here to help. If he took over someone else's house while helping, what would outsiders think?
At the same time, many of Tao Qian's subordinates were dissatisfied with Liu Bei and wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, which was why Liu Bei collapsed.
This wave can be said to be a loss of both people and money, and Liu Bei could not leave at this time, as it would be a betrayal.
In short, he was caught in a dilemma and could only stay in the room in a daze. He didn't even want to see Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
But the biggest problem is actually Tao Qian, mainly because the Mi family has always been his supporters in Xuzhou.
Without Mi Zhu's financial support, how could Tao Qian withstand Cao Cao's offensive?
Thinking of this, Tao Qian became a little discouraged and planned to give up Xuzhou and flee to Luoyang to retire.
Well, if it weren’t too far from Luoyang, and if Xu Wenhao wasn’t afraid to take over this hot potato, he would have wanted to hand Xuzhou over to him in exchange for a lifetime of wealth.
Of course, Liu Bei didn’t know this at the moment, and after being depressed for a day, he finally cheered himself up again.
The main thing is that he has no direction now and can only hang on in Xuzhou.
As for Tao Qian, he also wanted to see what kind of person Liu Bei was.
Investing in angel rounds always brings greater returns than investing in listed companies. It all depends on whether there is potential.
Back to Luoyang.
"This is Luoyang now. The general is indeed an extraordinary person."
After looking at the situation in Luoyang, Mi Zhu couldn't help but sigh.
He had been to Luoyang a few years ago, but at that time the road leading to Luoyang was still very rugged and there were refugees everywhere.
Like now, Xu Wenhao took out the formula of cement, asked the craftsmen to make it, and then gave it to Chen Gong to lead people to build the road.
The advantage of this is that the refugees who moved to Luoyang from all over the country at least had something to do and did not have to rely on relief from the court every day. Otherwise, there would not be enough land for so many refugees to farm.
From Bingzhou to Liangzhou, Xu Wenhao plans to arrange people to repair the official roads and speed up economic operations.
Even in wartime, food and fodder can be transported, unlike this era, when there are 10 people fighting and hundreds of thousands of logistics personnel.
Why? Because there are too many people needed to transport the food and fodder.
At the same time, some gaps in the city under Xu Wenhao's control began to be filled with cement to enhance defense.
Mi Zhu and everyone in the Mi family saw the changes in Luoyang and understood who brought them about. Naturally, they had more confidence in the entire Mi family's relocation.
When Mi Zhu led everyone to the Luoyang city gate, he saw Xu Wenhao coming to greet him.
"General!"
Mi Zhu did not expect Xu Wenhao to come out to greet them personally. He was surprised and hurriedly led everyone to greet him.
"Zi Zhong, no need to be so polite."
"I came to greet you because I value your business talent. I hope that with your joining me this time, you can help me develop the business in several states under my jurisdiction."
Xu Wenhao also waved his hand to indicate that he should not be so polite, and at the same time expressed his own thoughts.
"Since the general values me so much, I will definitely do my best!"
The reason why Mi Zhu moved his entire family here was probably because he was attracted by what Xu Wenhao mentioned.
What's more, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the Central Plains is full of heroes vying for supremacy, so what role do businessmen have? Being able to come to Luoyang to do business and have the support of Xu Wenhao is really like adding wings to a tiger.
"Let's go. His Majesty will meet Zi Zhong next and grant you a status so that you can make good use of your talents."
"I will welcome you tonight. I have also arranged accommodations for you at the Mi family's mansion and in the village outside Luoyang."
Xu Wenhao also waved his hand and took Mi Zhu into Luoyang.
The treatment mentioned during the period shocked the Mi family. How could they be so worthy of such treatment?
But in fact, Xu Wenhao was worried that the Zhen family would become the only dominant family, which would cause problems for the businesses in several states under his control. He specially invited Mi Zhu to compete, and naturally he had to arrange equal conditions for him.
