The Danyang Army, the Danyang Army is gone! The eldest young master also..."
The old man who was sitting at the head of the table drinking tea suddenly heard the report from his servant and fainted without taking a breath.
"Brother, have you heard about Xiaopei?
What should we, the Mi family, do? I’m afraid that Xiang Yu will be here soon."
In a magnificent mansion, a strong man dressed as a military commander asked a tea-drinking scribe.
Looking at the panic-stricken man opposite him, the scribe took a sip of the tea in his hand.
"Don't be so impatient.
Haven't you heard that big trees attract the wind? Even if we are in a hurry, it's not our Mi family's turn.
We are just businessmen, but we still have someone in charge in Pi City."
Looking at the scribe with a calm face, the strong man almost fainted from anger.
"Brother! That person is a bandit! If he enters Xiapi City, will our Mi family be able to survive?"
Yes, there is also that old dog Chen Gui. His son was beheaded by Xiang Ji, and the two families became mortal enemies. But what if he dies too?
Can that document spare us? Even if we don’t exterminate the clan, I’m afraid it’s inevitable to confiscate our homes, right?”
The strong man was very anxious, very anxious.
You know, although the Mi family is not a clan, they are world-famous merchants.
If this person enters the city, will the property of their Mi family be confiscated and used as military supplies?
"You also know that there is an old dog like Chen Gui standing in front of you, so why are you so anxious?
Do you think you can still defend Pi City now?"
When he heard his elder brother ask again, the strong man seemed as if he no longer recognized his elder brother.
What's going on? Isn't my elder brother always smart? Why would he ask me such an idiot question?
To defend? What to defend? To rely on the more than 10,000 county soldiers in the city who can't even stand in order?
You know, the so-called county soldiers are only a little more advanced than the militia.
They just maintain public order in each town and collect a city fee.
It's okay to fight against the bandits, but what if we really let them go to the battlefield?
You might be able to fight with a tailwind, but if you fight against a headwind, you'll just have to fight.
Moreover, there is currently no general leading the army in Xiapi City.
Cao Bao was taken away by Tao Qian, and the current guard is himself, Mi Fang.
You asked Mi Fang to lead these ancient city administrators to attack Xiang Ji's regular army? This is indeed embarrassing for him.
"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly and don't be pretentious. This city will definitely not be defended anyway.
What I mean is, if that doesn’t work, let’s hurry up and pack up and run away before Xiang Ji comes!”
This is Mi Fang's true intention.
He didn't have the slightest confidence in guarding Xiapi.
But the head of the family is his eldest brother Mi Zhu, so although he really wants to escape, he still needs the permission of the head of the family, Mi Zhu.
"Escape? Where to escape? Can we escape? Even if we escape, where will we go? You know, our foundation is here in Xuzhou, right here in Xiapi. If we leave here, will our Mi family still be the Mi family?
?”
As if he was treating an idiot, Mi Zhu was truly speechless towards his brother, who had strong limbs and a simple mind.
"We can't fight, but we can't escape. What should we do? Is it possible that we still surrender to the bandit leader?"
Her idea of escape was rejected by her elder brother, and Mi Fang began to lose her rationality.
Seeing his brother yelling at him, Mi Zhu really had a headache.
Why? They were both born to the same parents and received the same education since childhood. How come there is such a big gap in their lives?
"Surrender? Of course you have to surrender.
Mi Fang, I can tell you that Xiang Ji is not a bandit leader.
They are descendants of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. Speaking of which, the place we live in was also the territory of the Chu State, and our ancestors were also from the Chu State.
Moreover, haven't you seen Xiang Ji's ambition? Does he plan to go into the city, burn, kill and loot? He wants to occupy Xuzhou and participate in this competition for the world.
Now that Xiang Ji is just starting out, haven't you heard the saying of providing help in times of need?
Not only must we surrender, we must surrender as a whole family.
We will give you whatever the title requires. Only in this way can we preserve the Mi family's family business that has been passed down for hundreds of years."
What!?
Mi Fang was shocked when she heard what her eldest brother Mi Zhu said.
Give me what you want? Is the eldest brother really stupid?
"Brother! What are you talking about? Give me what you want? Does he want all our family property? What about our little sister? Do you really give it to him after he asks for it?"
"Here! I plan to give my little sister to him without him asking.
Do you understand? This is a riot.
If we win, our Mi family can become a real clan, and a top clan.
If you lose, it will just destroy a century-old family fortune.
With the current situation in the world, do you think our family business can be preserved if we don’t find someone worthy of relying on?"
After all, he was his biological brother. No matter how impatient he was, Mi Zhu still tried to persuade him.
After hearing her elder brother Mi Zhu's explanation, Mi Fang gradually calmed down.
After all, he was not really stupid, he was just blinded by greed.
After some mental struggle, the ferocious-looking Mi Fang spoke.
"In this case, let's just tie up that old dog Chen Gui and surrender directly to Xiang Ji.
In this case, at least it can increase the impression in his mind, and he can treat her better when she passes."
Mi Fang still valued her relatives very much.
You know, the three brothers and sisters have been dependent on each other since childhood, and their feelings for each other are still very close.
Seeing Mi Fang's awakening, Mi Zhu nodded happily.
At the very least, this brother is not hopelessly stupid.
Xiang Ji, who was traveling quickly, naturally didn't know what was happening in Xiapi City.
When Xiang Ji led the army to Xiapi City, he was stunned when he saw everything in front of him.
What is going on?
I haven't shaken the tiger's body yet, why is this happening?
Xiang Ji was speechless at the scene of people kneeling and surrendering in front of the gate of Xiapi City.
"Don't drive Mi Zhu in Xuzhou, and guard Mi Fang in Xia Pi City. We respectfully welcome General Xiang into the city."
Well, when he heard what Yi Wen and Yi Wu said when he knelt down in front of everyone, Xiang Ji understood everything.
It has been going on for a long time, and it was caused by this big businessman.
It seems? I was taken aback by this businessman and became an object of speculation?
Xiang Ji naturally had no dissatisfaction with this situation.
Now is the stage where we are short of people and food. If the Mi family can help us, we will naturally welcome them with both hands.
You know, Xiang Ji was already thinking about Mi Zhu before he captured Pi.
