Chapter 442 Volume Mi Zhu Mi Fang
Pengcheng.

One step ahead of Lu Bu’s iron hoof was Cao Cao’s military order.

Che Zhou, who was in charge of guarding this place, was shocked when he saw in Cao Cao’s letter that Lu Bu was going to attack Pengcheng!

But when he saw that Cao Cao had taken precautions against Lu Bu’s attack, Che Zhou finally felt relieved.

“My Lord, you actually want to transfer Mi Fang away at this time?”

Che Zhou didn’t quite understand this military order.

Mi Fang is a super wealthy man in Xuzhou!
He was also very sensible and would send valuable gifts during festivals. Che Zhou was reluctant to see such a God of Wealth leave.

But when he thought that becoming the prefect of Guangling was a promotion after all, he still called Mi Fang over and set a banquet for him to celebrate his promotion.

“Guangling Governor?”

When Mi Fang heard that he was promoted to the position of prefect of 2,000-stone official, he was very pleased and celebrated with Che Zhou.

“Zifang (Mi Fang’s courtesy name), the Lord wants you to take up your post as soon as possible, and it would be best if you could leave tomorrow.”

tomorrow?

At the banquet, Mi Fang heard Cao Cao so anxious that he put down his wine glass and felt a little confused.

“Why is it so urgent this time? Could it be that something important happened in Guangling? That doesn’t make sense… The person in charge of guarding Guangling now is your cousin Cao Ren, what kind of trouble could possibly happen?”

Che Zhou was unwilling to expose Cao Cao’s intentions.

But one should be grateful for the favor… When he thought of Mi Fang’s filial piety over the years, he revealed some news to Mi Fang.

“Zifang, it’s a good thing for you to go to the south now.”

“There is news that Lu Bu suddenly changed his route and is heading towards Pengcheng.”

“Although you have already planned to kill Lu Bu, Lu Bu is an unrivaled warrior and extremely brave! If you stay in Pengcheng, you will be injured by stray arrows. It is better to take refuge in the back!”

Lu Bu actually came to Pengcheng!

Mi Fang’s eyes flashed with a strange expression, but his face was filled with horror: “Why is Lu Bu here? Didn’t they say that Lu Bu and the emperor were going to attack Qingzhou together?”

“Then I don’t know, hiccup!”

Seeing that Che Zhou was drunk, Mi Fang knew that Che Zhou really didn’t know what was going on, so he went out and said goodbye.

After leaving Che Zhou’s mansion, Mi Fang did not go directly back to his home, but came to a secluded courtyard.

“Brother! Brother! Something terrible has happened!”

There was a man in the courtyard who was graceful, honest and elegant. He was a little displeased when he saw Mi Fang.

“What are you here for?”

“…”

Mi Fang ignored his brother Mi Zhu’s indifference to him. He carefully looked outside twice after entering the door. After making sure that there was no one behind him, he closed the door and whispered to Mi Zhu: “Brother! I went to Che Zhou today and heard from him that General Lu Bu has come to Pengcheng!”

Mi Zhu’s reaction was exactly the same as Mi Fang’s!
“Why is Lu Bu here?”

“Who knows? But it must be the Emperor’s plan!”

Mi Fang rubbed his thighs at this moment: “Brother, I know you are somewhat dissatisfied with my acceptance of the official position appointed by Cao Cao.”

“But my Mi family is not a rich family, nor a famous family. We only have some reputation thanks to the little money left by our ancestors! If we really disobey Cao Cao, with his vicious nature, I’m afraid he would have wiped us out long ago!”

“But now that the imperial court has sent Lu Bu here, Cao Cao is clearly doomed to fail! We should take this opportunity to turn from darkness to light and serve the emperor!”

The rumors in recent years are actually not wrong.

Mi Zhu was unwilling to accept Cao Cao’s official position because he was loyal to the Han Dynasty. Although Mi Fang knew his brother’s intention, he was not as strong-willed as Mi Zhu, so he compromised and became the Prime Minister of Pengcheng appointed by Cao Cao.

Now that he heard that Lu Bu was coming, he obviously thought of Mi Zhu first, and also thought of the possibility of surrendering to the imperial court!
When Mi Zhu heard his brother’s plan, he was a little hesitant.

“Brother, why are you so hesitant?”

Mi Fang also informed Mi Zhu of the news that he had been promoted to the prefect of Guangling.

“Cao Cao is suspicious by nature. He must have become suspicious of me if he asked me to leave now.”

“In this case, why not just go all out and wait for an opportunity inside the city to surrender to the Han Dynasty!”

When Mi Zhu heard that Cao Cao actually transferred Mi Fang away before the war, he immediately realized that this was a bad signal.

This shows that in Cao Cao’s mind, Mi Fang, who provided him with a huge amount of money, was still not trustworthy.

If there is any mistake in this “untrustworthiness”, it may turn into a sharp blade that cuts off the heads of the Mi brothers!

“It seems that we can’t stay here with Cao Cao for long!”

“But now Cao Cao is going to transfer you to be the governor of Guangling. How can you still have the opportunity to stay in Pengcheng and wait for an opportunity to surrender to the Han Dynasty?”

A hint of anger appeared on Mi Fang’s face.

“This is easy!”

“As long as my brother breaks one of my legs right now and throws me into a nearby canal, and says that I got drunk when I came out of Che Zhou’s mansion, and accidentally broke my leg, and I need to recover and cannot take up my post, can Cao Cao still load me onto a carriage and take me to Guangling?”

This proposal made Mi Zhu gasp.

He looked at Mi Fang carefully, and it seemed that he had not expected that his brother actually had such a violent temper in his heart!
Break your own legs…

Can such words be said so easily?
Mi Zhu was reluctant, but was urged by Mi Fang.

“Brother, hurry up!”

“Now that Cao Cao is about to be defeated, we can only seek wealth and honor by joining the imperial court!”

“Our ancestors have all been businessmen, so we should know the principle of ‘waiting for the right price’.”

Mi Zhu frowned: “Zifang, this is your fault! Now we have clearly abandoned the dark and joined the light, why do you say we are profit-seeking people?”

“It makes no difference!! I hope you can act quickly, brother, so that no one else sees you!”

Mi Zhu had no choice but to ask his close servant to get a stone and smash it hard on Mi Fang’s legs!

“hiss!”

Mi Fang groaned, but did not dare to shout out loud.

Several servants carried Mi Fang to a canal, threw him down heavily, and quickly left the scene.

On the second day, Mi Fang was found in the canal and reported to Che Zhou.

When Che Zhou heard that Mi Fang broke his leg because he drank the wine at his banquet, he naturally felt extremely guilty.

When Che Zhou went to visit Mi Fang, Mi Fang cried as soon as he saw Che Zhou: “My life is worthless, I can’t bear the honor of being a governor!!”

Che Zhou was also very upset when he saw this, so he could only assure Mi Fang: “Don’t worry, I will definitely write a letter to Ming Gong, asking him to reserve the position of Guangling governor for you, and you can take up the position after you recover!”

Mi Fang was grateful and burst into tears. After receiving Che Zhou’s letter, Cao Cao felt that Mi Fang was more suspicious, but after all, there was no evidence and it was impossible to carry a person with a broken leg to Guangling.

“Anyway, Mi Fang’s legs are broken, so I don’t think he can do anything big.”

“The real key now is Lu Bu in front of us!”
