In that exquisite room, the lights are still bright.
Under the lamp, Mi Huan's beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she was looking over the account books at her desk, mumbling numbers from time to time, and calculating profits and losses.
Because of the benefits from investing in Yuan Fang, the Mi family's industries in Qingzhou, from farming to salt cooking, to maritime trade to and from Liaodong, have blossomed everywhere.
Mi Zhu cannot take care of these new industries personally, so she can only hand them all over to her sister.
An hour passed, and the accounts were finally settled. Mi Huan stretched, and a somewhat satisfied smile appeared on his pretty face.
¡°Obviously, last year was a fruitful year for the Mi family. How could she not be satisfied with millions of new incomes.
At this time, the maid outside the room came to report that the old housekeeper Mi Zhong had arrived and was looking for an audience.
"Azhong? Why is he here?" My brother Xingye sent the old housekeeper of the family here. There must be something important, so Mi Huan quickly ordered the general to come in.
A moment later, the gray-haired Mi Zhong entered. After the ceremony, he took out a secret letter and presented it to Mi Huan, saying that it was written by Mi Zhu himself and that it was an extremely important matter.
Mi Huan had a vague premonition, so he hurriedly opened the letter and read it several times, his expression becoming solemn.
"Liu Bei, how dare you force our Mi family to donate food to him!" Mi Huan said angrily.
Mi Zhong also said angrily: "Liu Bei's attitude was extremely tough. He also threatened that if our Mi family did not donate food, he would send troops to raid our Mi family directly on charges of collaborating with the enemy."
Snapped!
Mi Huan slapped the case fiercely and said angrily: "What a arrogant tone he has! Although our Mi family is not as good as the Chen and Cao families, we are still one of the three major families in Xuzhou. How can Liu Bei be able to do it if he wants to? He really thinks he can. Covering the sky with one hand!"
Mi Huan was angry, and changed from the previous Yongrong and Duanli, and actually revealed a bit of majesty.
Mi Zhong sighed, "I heard that Taozhou Mu was so frightened that he couldn't afford to fall ill. He handed over all the military power in Xuzhou to Liu Bei. The Cao family and Liu Bei were married, and the Chen family was silent about Liu Bei taking power. No wonder Liu Bei was like this. Arrogant, don¡¯t take our Mi family seriously.¡±
Mi Huan¡¯s eyebrows formed the character ¡°Chuan¡±. His face became more solemn.
Previously, she was only concerned about the affairs of Qingzhou and did not pay much attention to the development of the situation in her hometown in Xuzhou. Today, after Mi Zhong reminded her, Mi Huan realized that Liu Bei had become powerful and had replaced Tao Qian. He became half the master of Xuzhou.
"What do you think, brother?" Mi Huan asked in a deep voice.
"The master just couldn't make a decision for a while, so he sent my old slave Xingye here to hear what the young lady wanted. After all, if our Mi family donated food to Liu Bei, Yuan Zhoumu would definitely have to give an explanation." Mi Zhong explained. .
Mi Huan waved his hands and said, "I will check with Yuan Zhoumu as soon as possible. Go back and tell your brother immediately. Don't act rashly until I hear back."
Mi Zhong took Mi Huan's reply and hurriedly left.
As soon as Mi Zhong left, the maid came back to retaliate. It was said that Yuan Fang from the front line had sent someone and asked Mi Huan to rush to the Tancheng camp as soon as possible to gather together.
"Could it be that Liu Bei's request for food from my Mi family reached Xianzheng's ears so quickly?" Mi Huan was shocked.
She realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately lost all sleep. She left Juxian that night and headed to the Tancheng camp at starry night.
¡¡
A few days later, the Chinese army opened its tent.
Yuan Fang had just gotten up early in the morning when he learned that Mi Huan had arrived at the camp and was waiting to meet him outside.
"You're here so quickly? Please ask Miss Mi to come in." Yuan Fangli said.
A moment later, hurried footsteps sounded, and Mi Huan stepped into the tent. He was greeted with a slight smile on his face, and he didn't look dignified at all.
"Xiao Huan, you must have been traveling under starry night to reach Tancheng so quickly, so thank you for your hard work." Yuan Fang said apologetically.
Mi Huan smiled faintly: "Xianzheng, if you have something urgent to call you, I will naturally come here in a hurry. There is nothing to do. I wonder if there is something important for you, Xianzheng?"
Yuan Fang briefly explained to Mi Huan the situation between the enemy and ourselves in Tancheng, as well as the fact that he could not break the city despite repeated attacks.
"Your Mi family is a big family in the East China Sea, and Tancheng is the administrative seat of the East China Sea. The Mi family must have many servants in Tancheng. I invite you, Xiaohuan, because I want you to use the people of your Mi family in the city. Cooperate inside and outside to help me conquer Tan City."
Yuan Fang did not mince words and stated his request straightforwardly. This was also Guo Jia's plan to break the city.
Tan City is impregnable, and Liu Bei defends the city in an orderly manner. With Yuan Fang's current strength, he does not have the ability to attack the city by force, so he relies on the Mi family as an internal response.?Disintegrating Liu Bei's city defense from the inside is the only good way to break the city.
Mi Huanhua's face changed color slightly, and she looked a little surprised. It was obviously Yuan Fang's request, which was beyond her expectation.
The surprise was fleeting, and Mi Huan gave a meaningful smile: "Using my Mi family members to support you in seizing the city is asking our Mi family to openly betray Tao Qian. Once this is done, our Mi family will There is no way out, this is a risky business.¡±
The roots of the Mi family are in Xuzhou. Even though they secretly invested in Yuan Fang before, it was still profitable.
Now that Yuan Fang is attacking Xu, if the Mi family publicly stands up to support it, Yuan Fang will be successful. If he retreats in the end, how can the Mi family gain a foothold in Xuzhou?
How could Mi Huan ignore the matter regarding the survival of the Mi family? This time, she did not respond to Yuan Fang's requests as usual.
Mi Huan¡¯s reaction was something Yuan Fang had expected.
Laughing loudly, Yuan Fang said boldly: "Of course I will not let your Mi family do a loss-making business. After I capture Xuzhou, I will support the Mi family to become the largest clan in Xuzhou and completely overwhelm the Chen and Cao clans. Such a huge reward , it should be enough.¡±
Mi Huan's heart was shocked. At a certain moment, he was really deeply moved by this tempting benefit.
Although her Mi family is one of the three richest people in the world, because her ancestors were not officials, they have been suppressed by the Chen and Cao families in Xuzhou's political arena.
What the Mi family brothers and sisters think about day and night is to exchange the Mi family's monetary capital for political capital, so that the Mi family can have a reputation that is equal to that of the Cao and Chen families.
Mi Huan¡¯s previous investment in Yuan Fang had this intention.
But what Mi Huan didn¡¯t expect was that Yuan Fang was developing so fast and was already planning to annex Xuzhou before the Mi family was fully prepared.
After a moment of silence, Mi Huan suppressed his excitement and said calmly: "The reward you offered Xianzheng is indeed tempting, and it is indeed the dream of our Mi family. However, Xianzheng, you only have 30,000 soldiers and horses. If you want to swallow Xuzhou, you are a little too confident."
"With only two thousand soldiers and horses, I can capture Qingzhou. Now with 30,000 soldiers, can't we capture Xuzhou?"
Yuan Fang asked back, how confident and crazy he is.
Mi Huan's figure couldn't help but be shocked.
Yuan Fang looked at Mi Huan and said resolutely: "Xiao Huan, you have to believe me, I will take Xuzhou this time, Tao Qian and Liu Bei will be defeated, and I will win!"
His strong self-confidence deeply stirred Mi Huan's heartstrings, making her excited and almost agreeing to Yuan Fang's request.
The next moment, she forced herself to calm down, took out the secret letter from Mi Zhu in her arms, and handed it to Yuan Fang silently.
Yuan Fang was startled. He didn't know why she suddenly showed him the letter. He subconsciously took it and opened it to examine it.
After reading the letter, Yuan Fang frowned and snorted: "Liu Bei is really arrogant and wants to eradicate your Mi family. It seems that he wants to force your Mi family to make a choice between Liu Bei and me. "
Mi Huan sighed: "Currently, all military power in Xuzhou belongs to Liu Bei. He also has the support of the Cao family. If he is willing, he is indeed capable of destroying our Mi family."
Looking at Mi Huan's expression and listening to her tone, Yuan Fang had guessed Mi Huan's thoughts and suddenly burst into laughter.
Mi Huan raised his head and looked at Yuan Fang in surprise, but she didn't know why he could still laugh out loud at such a solemn moment.
The laughter stopped, Yuan Fang waved his hand and said magnanimously: "I, Yuan Fang, do not force others to do anything. You should consider the matters I mentioned. As for Liu Bei forcing you to donate food, it is up to you to make your own decision. Even if you really give Liu Bei Donate food, and I, Yuan Fang, will not blame you."
Hearing this, Mi Huan was shocked and looked at Yuan Fang with surprise, as if he couldn't believe that Yuan Fang was so generous.
"Xianzheng, do you really not blame us for succumbing to Liu Bei's threat?" Mi Huan asked in surprise.
Yuan Fang said calmly: "You also said that your Mi family was also threatened by Liu Bei and had no choice but to do so. I, Yuan Fang, have been threatened many times and I know the dilemma best. Don't worry, I will not vent my anger on you. I, Yuan Fang, still have this kind of magnanimity.¡±
Mi Huan was completely shocked. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuan Fang, his eyes flashing with gratitude and wonder.
It wasn¡¯t until today that Mi Huan truly realized how broad Yuan Fang¡¯s magnanimity was.
Compared with Yuan Fang, Liu Bei and his like are simply not worth mentioning.
Yuan Fang not only has the decisiveness of a hero to kill and avenge his enemies, but also possesses the extraordinary magnanimity of a hero.
As a well-informed businessman, in Mi Huan's eyes, Yuan Fang is absolutely unique and rare in the world.??.
Thoughts were rolling like a tide, and the excited Mi Huan fell into deep thought.
After a long time, she secretly gritted her teeth, looked at Yuan Fang and said, "Xianzheng, I promise to help you. My Mi family will help you capture Tancheng."
Yuan Fang was shocked and looked at Mi Huan in surprise.
Mi Huan continued: "I will leave for Qucheng right now and convince my eldest brother personally to let the Mi family express its position. From now on, I will openly support you."
Not only did Mi Huan want to help him take Tancheng, she actually wanted the Mi family to break with Tao Qian and Liu Bei directly, risking their wealth and life to openly support Yuan Fang.
Given the influence of the Mi family in Xuzhou, if they openly turn to Yuan Fang, it will definitely cause huge waves in the hearts of the people of Xuzhou, and it will be a heavy blow to the two enemies of Tao Qian and Liu Bei.
What Mi Huan gave was far beyond what Yuan Fang asked for.
"Xiaohuan, are you really" Yuan Fang was overjoyed for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Mi Huan suddenly stepped forward, stood on tiptoes, and kissed his face gently with her red lips.
Then, she felt dizzy and pursed her lips with a smile: "I'm going to wait for my good news."
Just before Yuan Fang came back to his senses, she had turned around and left, leaving only a beautiful figure behind.
