Chapter 505 Yuan Shu accepts Mi Zhu, Cao Cao seeks a retreat
"I have long heard that Mi Zhu and Mi Zhongnai are a world-shaking genius, and that the Mi family in Xuzhou is also a wealthy family in the world. Today, I can see that it is indeed a well-deserved reputation."
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Mi Zhu was obviously flattered and didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Let's go, I've already held a banquet at the Prefectural Mufu Mansion to welcome Zizhong."
After saying that, he took Mi Zhu and walked towards the city, while Ju Shou and Tian Feng followed behind them with smiles.
When they arrived at the Prefecture Mufu, Yuan Shu took Mi Zhu and sat at the front seat together.
"Sir, this is impossible."
Mi Zhu looked at Yuan Shu and said Jie again.
"Zizhong is a great talent. He deserves to be at the table and drink with me."
Yuan Shu shook his head and disagreed with Mi Zhu's statement.
"In this case, Mi Zhu will make trouble."
Since Yuan Shu was so insistent, it would be a bit artificial for him to be reserved, so he could only calm down and sit down beside Yuan Shu.
"Isn't this right? Come and have a drink with me, gentlemen, to support my son."
Yuan Shu picked up the wine cup as he spoke, and Mi Zhu quickly picked it up and drank with Yuan Shu.
"How can one cup be enough? Zizhong will come again."
After drinking three glasses of wine, Yuan Shu stopped.
"I wonder what the purpose of Zizhong's coming from Xuzhou is?"
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he stared at Mi Zhu in front of him.
"Your Excellency, Mi Zhu came here for no other reason than to deliver a personal letter from Tao Zhoumu, and please have your eyes read it."
Upon hearing Yuan Shu's question, Mi Zhu did not dare to neglect and directly took Tao Qian's handwriting out of his arms and handed it to Yuan Shu with both hands.
Yuan Shu opened Tao Qian's handwriting and quickly browsed it.
"Tao Gongzu's words are serious. Is Yuan Shu the kind of villain who takes advantage of others' danger? Although Cao Cao sent troops under the banner of avenging his father, the person who killed his father was Zhang Kai and not Tao Gongzu. It is indeed a bit too much. I take it for granted.
Send troops to help him defeat Cao Cao. As for the position of state pastor, let's forget about it."
Yuan Shu pressed down Tao Qian's letter and frowned at Mi Zhu.
"Sir, you can't say that. Although Tao Zhoumu did many benevolent deeds in Xuzhou, he is now in troubled times. He is old and the young masters under his command have mediocre qualifications.
If Xuzhou is in their hands, it will be a piece of fat that everyone covets. It will do more harm than harm to both the Tao family and the people of Xuzhou.
It is precisely because Tao Zhou Mu saw this that he wanted to offer up his position as Zhou Mu, which can protect the peace of the Tao family and the people of Xuzhou, so I hope you will not refuse."
Hearing that Yuan Shu refused to accept Xuzhou, Mi Zhu immediately became anxious.
Not to mention other things, just talking about Yuan Shu going out of the city to greet his unknown Xuzhou farewell, we can see that Tao Qian is very different from Yuan Shu.
If Yuan Shu really returns Xuzhou to Tao Qian, then it is basically hopeless for him to get ahead. Only by following Yuan Shu can he have a big future.
"But, it's still not good."
Yuan Shu looked at Mi Zhu. Although he felt happy, his expression was still frowning.
"Sir, this is not just my idea, it is also the hope of Taozhou Mu and hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou. I hope you will not refuse."
Mi Zhu heard that Yuan Shu still refused, so she knelt down and kowtowed to Yuan Shu.
"Zizhong, don't be like this. Let me consider this matter."
Yuan Shu helped Mi Zhu up, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.
"Your Majesty, please listen to heaven and consider the people below. Don't refuse anymore."
Although Mi Zhu was helped up by Yuan Shu, he immediately bowed his hands and asked Yuan Shu to take over Xuzhou.
"My lord, please go up to heaven and listen, and go down to look after the people of Limin and accept Xuzhou."
"My lord, please go up to heaven and listen, and go down to look after the people of Limin and accept Xuzhou."
Ju Shou and Tian Feng also bowed to Yuan Shu from below.
"Okay, in that case, I will be a villain who takes advantage of others' danger, Yuan Hao, and prepare troops and horses to send troops to Dongguan County."
The time had come and Yuan Shu's refusal was not modest but pretentious, so he stood up directly and sent an attack signal to Tian Feng.
"promise."
Tian Feng stood up and clasped his fists.
"Thank you, sir."
When he heard that Yuan Shu was about to send troops, Mi Zhu also stood up and bowed to Yuan Shu.
"Zizhong, please assist me and help Gong Xiang live in peace and prosperity."
The matter in Xuzhou was settled, and Mi Zhu was next. Although this person did not have Tian Feng's plans, he did have his own unique skills, which was business. He believed that Mi Zhu would definitely perform unexpectedly in Jizhou's business system.
"Mi Zhu is willing to join the lord's command, and will not hesitate to go through all kinds of hardships."
Hearing Yuan Shu extending an olive branch to him, Mi Zhu didn't dare to hesitate and knelt down on his knees to surrender to him.
"Okay, I have Zizhong to help me, so why worry about the big thing failing?"
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for recovering the famous historical official Mi Zhu. Ten points of prestige will be awarded."
Yuan Shu was completely relieved after hearing the system prompts. The Mi family has huge influence in Xuzhou, and can even be said to have controlled Xuzhou's economy to a certain extent.
Otherwise, Tao Qian would not have conquered Mi Zhu to serve as his commander in Xuzhou, and Mi Zhu's brother Mi Fang would not be able to become a general. Now that the Mi family has returned home, Xuzhou will be in the palm of his hand as long as he defeats Cao Cao.
Now that Tao Qian's letter asking for help had also fallen, Yuan Shu's army gathered, and hundreds of thousands of troops marched to Beihai Kingdom. With Zhao Yun's Yingyang Army as the vanguard and Yuan Shu as the commander, they launched an attack on Dongguan County.
"Lord, it's bad, Qingzhou has sent troops."
Cao Cao's spies deployed at the Xu Qing border immediately delivered the general information to Cao Cao.
"Qingzhou sent troops?"
When they heard the news from Tanma, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were stunned on the spot. Yuan Shu sent troops. This was unreasonable. Could it be that the temptation of Yanzhou was not as good as that of Xuzhou.
"Lord, the situation we least want to see has occurred. Yuan Shu chose to attack Xuzhou first, and we have to arrange a retreat."
Xi Zhicai frowned and looked at Cao Cao.
"How can you create skills when you have skills?"
After Cao Cao finished speaking, his face was filled with loneliness.
Even if he can occupy Yanzhou now, he still has the confidence to fight Yuan Shu, but now his strength is not inferior to Yuan Shu who occupies the four states, otherwise he would not want to abandon Yanzhou and attack Xuzhou.
Originally, I thought that after occupying Xuzhou, I would be able to settle down and make a living, but who could have expected.
"Lord, don't be depressed. Now we have three options. One is to return to Yanzhou and continue to fight for hegemony with Liu Bei. The other is to return to Yanzhou, where General Cao Ren is anxious to fight with us, and then abandon Xuzhou and go south to Yangzhou. The third is to
He is heading to Nanyang to join Yuan Benchu."
Xi Zhicai thought for a while and gave three routes they could take now.
"Now that I know that Yanzhou is a prison, I can't jump into it. Yuan Shao seems to be wise, but his mind is extremely narrow. I'm afraid we will be very restricted if we go to him. Let's go to Yangzhou, but Chen Wen is
