    (Thank you brothers for your reward votes, the second update will be sent)

    In the big tent, two rows of swordsmen and axe-hands stood solemnly, each with murderous intent.

    Yuan Fang sat high on it, with his eyes half open and half closed. The ninety-two kilogram skull-crushing stick was placed horizontally on the table, and the blood stains reflected the scarlet light.

    The curtain was lifted, and Mi Zhu, with a gloomy complexion, cautiously stepped into the tent.

    As soon as Mi Zhu came in, she was frightened by the solemn atmosphere in the tent and couldn't help but shudder.

    Mi Zhu secretly took a breath, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Mi Zhu from the East China Sea, pay homage to the young master."

    Mi Zhu has a respectful attitude and does not dare to be self-reliant when facing Yuan Fang.

    Yuan Fang slowly opened his eagle eyes, looked down at the rich man, and said in a deep voice: "Mi Zhu, you colluded with Kong Rong and Liu Bei to go against me, Yuan Fang. If you have any last words, please tell me as soon as possible."

    "Any last words?" Mi Zhu's expression changed drastically when he heard it, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

    In panic, Mi Zhu hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Young Master has misunderstood. Zhu just happens to be doing business in Duchang and has nothing to do with those two people. Please tell me."

    "It doesn't matter?" Yuan Fang snorted coldly, "If it doesn't matter, why did you escape with Liu Bei? Liu Bei led a helpless person like you to break out. He was full and felt that it was not enough.  A burden?"

    Yuan Fang¡¯s eyes were sharp and his words were sharp. He exposed Mi Zhu¡¯s lies in just a few words.

    Mi Zhu was speechless after being questioned. She was so panicked that cold sweat rolled down her forehead. She stammered and didn't know how to defend herself.

    Deterrence has been effective, Yuan Fang said: "To be honest, I might consider letting you die. If you pretend to be confused in front of me again, I will smash your head immediately."

    During the threat, Yuan Fang¡¯s hand was already pressed on the skull-crushing stick on the case.

    Mi Zhu trembled with fright. She glanced at the red blood stains on the skull-crushing stick and remembered that both Shan Jing and Tian Kai died under this iron rod.

    "Those two people are both dignitaries, and Yuan Fang will kill them whenever he says, let alone a businessman like Mi Zhu.

    "This Yuan Fang is powerful and insightful. He is not as bad as Liu Bei and Kong Rong said. It seems that I can't fool him anymore"

    Thinking of this, Mi Zhu did not dare to hide anything anymore, so he told the truth about his escape.

    It turned out that Liu Bei wanted to break out of the encirclement, but because Kong Rong wanted to save face, he secretly asked Mi Zhu to come forward and asked Kong Rong to go to Xuzhou for help. Liu Bei used the excuse of protecting Mi Zhu to get Kong Rong's permission to lead his troops to break out of the encirclement.

    "I see, so you were just used by Liu Bei?" Yuan Fang's expression softened a bit.

    Mi Zhu remembered that before breaking out of the siege, Liu Bei had promised to protect him to the death, but when he encountered an ambush, he only cared about himself and abandoned him to Yuan Jun.

    All these things made Mi Zhu complain a lot about Liu Bei. Now that Yuan Fang asked him, he suddenly realized that Liu Bei just wanted to use him to get out of the city.

    With a long sigh, Mi Zhu laughed at himself: "Zhu was indeed taken advantage of by Liu Bei. I didn't expect that at the critical moment, he would abandon me and ignore me. I, Mi Zhu, really looked away."

    Yuan Fang raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, thinking that Liu Bei was a tycoon. He would abandon his wife and children without hesitation at a critical moment, let alone a businessman like you who has only just met him.

    "So, you are indeed not in the same group as Liu Bei, so why did you take the risk and escape?" Yuan Fang asked again in a deep voice.

    Mi Zhu said hurriedly: "I'll tell you the truth, because Liu Bei said that the young master is cruel and unkind, and that whenever the city is breached, his troops will burn, kill and loot. Zhu was afraid, so"

    Mi Zhu did not dare to say any more, but Yuan Fang already fully understood what was going on.

    It turned out that it was Liu Bei, the big-eared thief, who spread rumors about his cruelty.

    This is not surprising. In history, apart from killing many people in the Battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao actually did not do anything cruel.

    On the contrary, Cao Cao practiced farming, self-sufficient in military provisions, and greatly reduced the burden on the people. Unlike other princes, who would only levy and expropriate the people under his rule.

    Even so, wherever Liu Bei fled, Cao Cao's reputation for cruelty and unkindness spread far and wide, while his reputation for Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness became increasingly louder and louder.

    Yuan Fang somewhat understood Liu Bei's methods this time. How could he demonstrate his reputation for benevolence and righteousness without first ruining his enemy's reputation?

    "Liu Bei, your methods are really vicious"

    With a sneer in his heart, Yuan Fang Fang said: "Since you were deceived by Liu Bei and did not intend to go against me, Yuan Fang, then I will be lenient and spare your life."

    Mi Zhu was overjoyed and vomited secretly.Angry, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Second Young Master, for the grace of living. If there is a chance in the future, Zhu will definitely repay you."

    What I¡¯m waiting for is your words.

    Yuan Fang coughed lightly and said calmly: "Life is short. Since you want to repay your kindness so much, why wait until the future? I will give you this opportunity now."

    Mi Zhu was startled and suddenly looked confused.

    He said he wanted to repay him, but he just said it casually. Who would have thought that Yuan Fang was not polite at all and actually wanted to repay him.

    "I don't know I don't know how you want me to repay you?" Mi Zhu asked suspiciously.

    "It's very simple." Yuan Fang waved his hand, "Now our army is running out of money and is in urgent need of support. Your Mi family is the richest in the world and has plenty of money. Please donate 50 million to me as repayment for my kindness in not killing you.  .

    Fifty million dollars!

    Mi Zhu secretly took a deep breath, and then suddenly realized that Yuan Fang was trying to rip him off, asking him to bleed and pay for his own life.

    ¡°Moreover, Yuan Fang is like a lion, asking for 50 million yuan every time he opens his mouth.

    However, Yuan Fang had a calm look on his face, admiring Mi Zhu's surprised expression, and smiled in his heart: "Fifty million dollars is enough to pay for an army of 10,000 people for a year. Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan, you are cutting my military pay because you want to shake our military morale.  I never thought I would catch a money tree here.¡±

    The Mi family is one of the three richest people in the world. Although fifty million sounds scary, to the Mi family, it is just a drop in the bucket.

    Yuan Fang believed that Mi Zhu would never refuse to give him 50 million yuan in exchange for his life.

    Sure enough, after a moment of astonishment, Mi Zhu sighed helplessly and expressed her acceptance of the conditions proposed by Yuan Fang.

    "Mi Zizhong is indeed a happy person. Come on, I will serve you with pen and ink." Yuan Fang laughed and ordered loudly.

    The left and right hands presented the pen and ink that had been prepared long ago. Mi Zhu had no choice but to pick up the pen and repair a book, and ordered his family to send 50 million yuan to Duchang City as soon as possible.

    After the letter was written, Yuan Fang asked people to set off at starry night to deliver the letter to Mi's house in Xuzhou.

    Mi Zhu was so knowledgeable that Yuan Fang did not embarrass him and ordered Mi Zhu to be placed under house arrest and treated to delicious food and drinks.

    Two days later, Yuan Fang divided a thousand troops and ordered Guo Huai to lead his army to Gaomi County in the southern part of Beihai Kingdom to urgently strengthen the city defense and rush to build fortifications.

    According to the speculations of Yuan Fang and the generals, if Tao Qian really sends troops to rescue Kong Rong, his army will be dispatched from Langye Kingdom, which borders Qingzhou, along the Weishui River, into Beihai Kingdom, and reach Duchang.

    If so, then Gaomi County is the only way for Xuzhou Army to pass.

    Yuan Convenient wants to strengthen the high-density defense fortifications. Once the Xuzhou Army advances northward, he can increase the number of high-density troops at any time to block the enemy.

    While guarding against the Xuzhou Army, Yuan Fang also stepped up the persecution of Duchang. Under Yuan Fang's intimidation, Duchang's Beihai soldiers began to surrender beyond the city. From the first dozen people to the later several  ten people.

    In less than ten days, nearly 400 Beihai soldiers deserted Kong Rong and left the city to surrender to Yuan Fang.

    Kong Rong was very worried and anxious. Fortunately, Tai Shi Ci supported him and he was able to suppress the trend of soldiers fleeing.

    Kong Rong was in poverty, and Yuan Fang's life was actually not easy either.

    ??Chinese military tent.

    "Sir, this month's military pay has been delayed for twenty days, and the soldiers have begun to complain. This is not the way to go." Zhu Ling had a gloomy look on his face and told Yuan Fang his pain.

    Yan Liang also said in a deep voice: "Young Master, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, we don't have to worry about much anymore. Let's order more taxes to be levied on the counties. Anyone who dares to pay taxes dishonestly will be killed. Let's see who pays back."  Dare to complain."

    Faced with the invitation from the second general, Yuan Fang only looked at the military books and said without raising his head: "You don't have to be impatient. Within a few days, someone will naturally give us military pay."

    Yan Liang and Zhu Ling looked at each other, both of them looking confused. They didn't know what Yuan Fang meant by what he said, let alone where Yuan Fang's confidence came from.

    Who else besides Yecheng will provide them with the military pay for their 10,000-strong army?

    When the second general was waiting to ask again, Yuan Gui rushed in excitedly and shouted excitedly: "Master, a young woman named Mi came outside, bringing many mule carts. She claimed to be from the Mi family of Donghai, and came here specially.  Come to the army."
