- After Cha followed Cao's army and defeated Yuan Shu's army, the entire army marched northward until they began the final pursuit of Yuan's defeated army on the south bank of the river. The war situation has become clear, but the atmosphere in Xiabi City has become faintly depressing.
People who meet on the road always interrupt the conversation inexplicably when they are talking about something. And they said goodbye in a hurry and left. Not long after these people left, some people with secretive and strange actions would pass by where they were standing before.
It is said that these are spies secretly sent by Xia Hou, the new governor of the state. No one wants to be targeted by these spies who suddenly appear and are almost all-pervasive. Regardless of whether it is anyone who has any strange thoughts in their hearts.
The existence of these elusive spies has made the originally peaceful Xiaqi City become increasingly panicky. After people's worries grew like weeds in spring, various hidden rumors began to spread secretly in the city.
¡°I heard that Cao¡¯s army¡¯s granary was burned down on the front line, and now the army¡¯s food and fodder are in short supply again!¡±
"In order to supply the army with food, Cao Jun will once again cleanse the people of his subordinates everywhere, including our Xiaqi City! All edible things in the city, including human flesh, will be made into food and grass and sent to the frontline labor force. And the property of the rich households in the city will naturally They will be expelled from the army and used to buy food from Jiangnan!"
"Did so many people die in Xuzhou back then that Cao Jun became addicted to food? Has the man-eating demon returned? Oh my God!"
"Oh my god, is Xuzhou going to be a river of blood again? Everyone should go home quickly and take your family to escape to the south of the Yangtze River! The sooner you escape, the sooner you will be safe. If you are blocked in the city, then there is really only one option. It's a dead end.
"Mom, I don't want to die, I don't want to be eaten alive by the cannibal devil! Dad, take my little brother and mother, let's run away!"
Every day, countless rumors add some content, plunging people into boundless panic. However, the evil deeds done by Cao Jun in Xuzhou made no one in Xiabai City raise any doubts about this rumor.
Although Xia Hou also ordered a strict investigation into the origin of the rumors, he could not find out who was spreading them. Every living person in the city was talking about this message. No matter how good Cao Jun's spies are, they can't capture everyone in the city.
Destroy the bones, and the public mouth is gold! What's more, even the soldiers of Cao's army who were far away from the front line couldn't tell whether these rumors were true or false.
Not to mention the fact that the crime was not far away is still firmly imprinted in the hearts of Xuzhou soldiers and civilians.
In the north of Xiabai City, in a secret room in the backyard of the vast Mi family. An oil lamp as big as a bean gave off a dim light. In the light and shadow, two mysterious figures were gathering at a table, whispering.
"Master Mi! Don't worry, your second son and the dozen or so family members have arrived in Shu County. But you must also know that your Mi family has been targeted by Xia Hou's spies. He will attack your family at any time. .
If you still want to transfer members of your family, it must be completed within these two days. Otherwise, once Cao Cao's military orders arrive, I'm afraid his army will seal the city. At that time, your family will never be able to escape again! "
Mi Zhu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his second brother was out of danger. The super businessman who knew the key to negotiation felt that Song Ding was just deceiving him, so he sat up straight and relaxed.
He said with a calm face: "Oh, thank you so much to the Song Junhou. However, the Junhou was still overly concerned. I think Cao Jun is pursuing Yuan Shao's defeated army with all his strength. It will take at least half a month to a month before they want to return.
By then, the transfer of my Mi family¡¯s property had already been completed, so there was no need to panic. Let my second brother go to Shu County first, just to show your army the firm attitude of our Mi family towards Jiangnan Army.
As long as Cao Jun¡¯s army does not arrive, Xia Hou wants to attack my Mi family with only more than a thousand county soldiers, does he dare? Can he? Song Junhou, just rest assured and wait for a while. When I put these industries in order, it will also support the development of Jiangnan! "
Song Ding looked at Mi Zhu who was talking eloquently with some surprise, his face was very ugly. He thought to himself: "If it weren't for my master's fate, and Xinghuo Camp would do its best to protect the members of your Mi family, I wouldn't be bothered to bother you!
The life and death of the children of your Mi family has nothing to do with our Jiangnan Army! It would be better if they all died, and there would be fewer young men who would cause harm to the village. We would also have less affairs in the future. What a self-righteous guy! "
Although Song Ding was secretly angry, the matter was so important that he could only persuade him again: "Master Mi, you said that Cao Jun will not return to the army until half a month to a month later. I don't know where I heard the news.
¡°Did you know that Cao Jun¡¯s leopard cavalry, which moved like the wind, could travel five hundred miles a day? Yanzhou to Xuzhou is only a thousand miles away. NowadaysThe news of the contact between the Mi family and the Jiangnan Army must have been leaked. According to the general's estimation, they will come to kill them within three days at most.
Do you still think that Cao Jun will let your Mi family go? Mr. Mi, for the tens of thousands of people in your family, please think carefully.
"Cao's army will arrive in three days?" Mi Zhu's brows frowned instantly. Although Mi Zhu was the largest businessman in Xuzhou, he was confident, but after all, he was still a bit of a layman when it came to the secret troops in the army.
Seeing that what Song Ding said was so serious, it seemed that it was not an empty threat. I couldn't help but pay attention to it.
But Mi Zhu stared at Song Ding¡¯s young face for a moment and thought carefully for a moment. No matter what, he didn't want to believe that Cao Jun could have such a powerful and fast-moving army.
"They can run to Xiabai City thousands of miles away in two days. Is it possible that Cao Jun's troops are already so idle? Can they escape from the battlefield at any time? This is simply an exaggeration on his part. He didn't expect this in Jiangnan." There are also such timid people in the army.
It seems that he is still too young and has never seen a truly fierce enemy. I don¡¯t know where I heard the news from, so I¡¯m just being alarmist here! Fortunately, I have met many people in business, and I almost fell into his trap! "
Feeling that she had figured out Song Ding's plan, Mi Zhu smiled and said: "Haha, Song Junhou is overthinking. I will arrange the family affairs as soon as possible. After all, this is a major matter related to the survival of the family. I will act carefully!"
"Oh, I understand! I'll say goodbye then! Master Mi, take care of yourself!" Song Ding didn't have that much patience for such a self-righteous merchant. No matter how big the merchants in Xuzhou are, how can they compare with the Wu family and the Zhen family in Jiangnan?
I am used to seeing the spectacular sight of Wu Yong and the Zhen family shipping goods to the whole world at the same time, with dozens of caravans loaded with goods dispatched from the four gates of southeast, northwest and northwest. Ordinary merchants, even military generals, look down upon them.
After sending Song Ding away, Mi Zhu just smiled and continued to arrange his family and belongings in an orderly manner. Moving towards the outside of Xiabai City, he did not want to move too many people and property at once. In order to avoid causing Xia Hou to fall out directly.
But even so, the situation became sharply serious. Mi Zhu received feedback, and the Mi family's caravan began to encounter increasingly severe inspections day by day. Several caravans have been directly detained in the state pastoral palace for various strange reasons.
This has never happened before. Mi Zhu immediately understood that Xia Hou was forcing her to see him, but Mi Zhu, who finally felt that something was wrong, began to feel worried.
He didn¡¯t know if he could safely return to his home guarded by many guards after going to the State Shepherd¡¯s Mansion.
While Mi Zhu was still hesitant, it was the morning of the fourth day since he met Song Ding. Mi Zhu, who was still sleeping peacefully, was suddenly woken up by the housekeeper: "Master, master, it's not good, we, we are surrounded by Cao's army!"
Mi Zhu woke up suddenly after being called, and was so shocked that she turned over and sat up, almost sitting on the ground in front of the bed: "What? We are surrounded by Cao's army!"
Mi Zhu, who was completely awake, slowly calmed down and was no longer anxious. He asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? There are so many guards at home, what's the point to panic! Did Xia Hou take action then? He is quite courageous.
Aren¡¯t you afraid that we will directly take his head to ask for credit from the Jiangnan Army? "
The usually calm butler this time was panicked and said: "Master, no, it seems that the people coming from outside are not the county soldiers to which Xiahou belongs. Could they be the Leopard Cavalry that Song Junhou of the Jiangnan Army mentioned? , is the elite of their Cao army."
"What? Impossible! Come and see!" Mi Zhu just shouted the word impossible, as if to let him understand that everything in this world is possible. There was a violent bang on the door of Mi Mansion.
No matter how strong the Mi family's gate is, it can't withstand the fierce attack of the city ram. When Mi Zhu put on her clothes in a hurry and walked to the front yard, she saw the huge door of her home falling down with a crash, causing a high cloud of smoke and dust.
The soldiers of the Mi family, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately began to shoot arrows at the enemies who might appear outside the door at any time. Looking at the soldiers around him who were firing arrows to stop the enemy, Mi Zhu felt relieved.
He thought to himself: "There are at least two thousand well-trained soldiers in the mansion now. With Xiahou's few soldiers and horses, if he comes to attack the Mi family, he will just die. Moreover, there are still three soldiers stationed in various courtyards of the Mi family in the city. Thousands of soldiers.
When they see something is wrong in the main house of the Mi family, they will definitely come to help from all directions. At some point, I'm afraid that the elite soldiers sent by Xia Hou will only steal the chickens without losing the rice, and will be directly made into big dumplings by their own Mi family troops.
With so many people guarding the Mi family, what else is there to worry about? At most, thousands will be allowedFamily soldiers, let's all fight out of the city together. "
Still feeling that his soldiers were outnumbered, they were not afraid of Xia Hou's attack at all. A soldier who was watching from the arrow tower in the mansion suddenly screamed.
"Oh no, our people are there! Our people were stopped by Cao Jun and are intercepting and killing them everywhere." - Didn't finish reading?
