Mi Zhu's house slave A trace of surprise flashed across Lu Bu's face, and then a little excitement flashed, as if he had guessed something.
"Isn't Mi Zhu the potter's kid, how could he send someone to see his father at night" Lu Lingji was puzzled.
"Let the messenger in."
Lu Bu flicked his hands and sneered.
A moment later, a middle-aged man, slightly frightened, walked into the tent, it was Mi Gui, the big housekeeper of the Mi family.
As soon as he saw Lu Bu, his legs immediately weakened in fear, and he hurriedly bowed to the ground, "The little one is the big housekeeper of the Mi family, and he came to ask to see Wen Hou on the order of my lord, and he has something important to tell him." ” Lu Bu didn't look at him directly, but said lightly: "Isn't Mi Zhu sealed by the pottery merchant in the middle of the rule, what does he mean by sending you to see Ben Hou?"
Mi Gui glanced around, and saw that there were many people present, as if there was something secret that was not easy for outsiders to know, so he didn't speak.
Lu Bu glared at him and said impatiently: "The tent is full of Benhou's cronies, there is nothing to say." ” Mi Gui hesitated for a moment, but took out a silk book from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said solemnly: "My master has admired Wen Hou for a long time, and now he wants to return to Wen Hou, this is my master's handwritten letter." ” A sneer flashed in Lu Bu's knife-like eyes, as if he had expected it.
Chen Gong and the others on the left and right were all slightly shocked, and they looked at each other, and their expressions were a little surprised.
Lu Bu glanced at it, and his soldiers hurriedly took the letter and dedicated it to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's eyes were already full of excitement, and he snatched the letter and opened it to look at it carefully.
It was a letter of surrender.
Mi Zhu said in the letter that he was forced to submit to the pottery merchants, but the pottery merchants because of the divorce, on the surface of the reuse of his weapons, in fact, he has always been suspicious, the pottery merchants under the command of those civil officials and military generals, he is also hostile, everywhere excluded him, Mi Zhu felt that it was difficult to gain a foothold under the pottery merchants, so he decided to return to Wenhou.
The more Lu Bu looked at it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but rejoice: "Does your master really want to return to Benhou?"
"A few days ago, my lord was worried about being robbed of grain by Wen Hou, and changed the grain transportation road halfway, causing the grain and grass to be sent to Tancheng three days late, but the potter was instigated by his wife and generals, and beat my lord in front of everyone's thirty military sticks.
When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and sigh, his originally arrogant face was much more gentle and kind, and he got up in person and helped that Migui up.
"This must be the potter's narrow-mindedness, and he remembers the old things that your Mi family worked for Liu Bei, so he just used the topic to play, Mi Zizhong abandoned the secret and returned to Ben Hou, it is really a wise move, Ben Hou will definitely reuse him."
Lu Bu swore solemnly.
Mi Gui was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "The little one will be my master and thank Wen Hou for his trust."
My master said that if Wenhou Kenna surrendered, he would reveal the transportation route of the next batch of 300,000 grains and grass to Wenhou, and then Wenhou could send troops to rob this batch of grain and grass, which could be regarded as a surrender gift from my lord to Wenhou, in order to repay Wenhou's kindness. ” 300,000 grains and grass Not only Lu Bu, but everyone present was shocked when they heard this number.
You must know that their biggest headache now is grain and grass, and it is just a matter of Mi Zhu's return, and they even sent 300,000 grains and grass, which is simply charcoal in the snow.
Lu Bu was overjoyed and said happily: "If Mi Zizhong can help Benhou get this batch of grain and grass, then he is the first credit of Benhou to take Xuzhou, and Benhou will never forget his credit." ” Under the excitement, Lu Bu laughed even more, as if victory was just around the corner.
Hao Meng, Lu Lingji and others next to them were all overjoyed, but only Chen Gong and Chen Deng, although they were also surprised, there was a bit of worry hidden in their expressions.
"The little acting master thanked Wen Hou."
Mi Gui was also overjoyed, and bowed to Lu Bu again.
Lü Bu then rewarded Mi Gui with a heavy sum of money, and ordered him to return to Tancheng as soon as possible to tell Mi Zhu, so that when the time was ripe, he would report the route of grain and grass transportation, and then Lü Bu would send an elite army to rob the grain and grass, and welcome Mi Zhu back.
Mi Gui responded with his mouth, bowed his hand, and left with Lu Bu's reward in his arms.
As soon as Mi Gui left, the smile on Lu Bu's face suddenly closed, and his eyes looked at Chen Deng, "Chen Yuanlong, this Mi Zhu said that he was going to surrender, do you think it is true or false?"
Chen Deng pondered for a moment, and said: "Mi Zhu has a prominent position in the official rule under the command of the pottery merchant, even if he changes to Wenhou, the official position is nothing more than that, and the pottery merchant has always been treacherous, Deng thinks it is better to be cautious." ” Chen Deng's meaning is naturally that he doesn't believe that Mi Zhu's surrender is true, on the other hand, it is also because the Mi family and the Chen family were originally the two major families in Xuzhou, so he naturally did not want Mi Zhu to return to Lu Bu and sit on an equal footing with his Chen family.
"Yuanlong's words are wrong."
When the words fell, Chen Gong retorted: "I heard that the Mi family even did not hesitate to divorce the potters in order to marry Liu Bei, but they were rejected by the potters, and the two sides were very stiff, and Mi Zhu also gave Liu Bei advice several times, wanting to deal with Mi Zhu, and now Mi Zhu has no choice but to return to the potters, and it is reasonable to be suspicious of the potters. ” Chen Gong wished that Mi Zhu could join in to check and balance Chen Deng, so that he could make a profit and use the competition between the Mi and Chen families to secure his position as the mastermind.
"Even so, how can you be sure that Mi Zhu's surrender is true, is it only based on that letter and a few words from a so-called cronie and a slave" Chen Deng immediately asked rhetorically.
Chen Gong smiled, stroked his short beard and said: "This is also simple, since the messenger said that the potter beat the Mi Zhu military stick in public, we only need to find out whether it is true or false from the eyeliner in the city, and naturally we will know whether Mi Zhu is true or false." ” Having said that, Lu Bu was most likely inclined to Chen Gong's judgment, and immediately ordered to go down, so that the eyes in the city would be rewarded as soon as possible.
Soon, the fine work in Tancheng sent back the news that Mi Zhu had indeed missed three days due to grain transportation, and at the instigation of Hua Mulan and Lian Po, he was ordered by the potter to beat thirty military sticks.
After this beating of the military sticks, Mi Zhu was beaten with flesh and blood, not only meticulously, but also more than 1,000 soldiers and civilians in the city witnessed it at the same time.
The return of the meticulous work further confirmed Chen Gong's judgment, and made Lu Bu convinced that Mi Zhu's intention to surrender was absolutely true.
After finding out the fact that Mi Zhu was beaten, Lu Bu sent Mi Zhu to marry Mi Zhu again, urging him to offer grain and grass as soon as possible, and repeatedly promised to reuse Mi Zhu.
Mi Zhu also sent Mi Gui to the camp three times and twice, showing his sincerity in surrendering many times, and asked Lu Bu to wait patiently, only waiting for his injuries to heal a little, and personally escort the grain and grass, which is the day when he sacrifices grain and submits.
Five days later, Mi Gui secretly came to the camp of the Lu army again, and Lu Bu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately summoned him into the tent for questioning.
"Wen Hou, two days later, my lord will personally escort 300,000 grains and grass, from the northeast path of Tancheng, the master specially ordered a small one to report to Wen Hou, please Wen Hou send troops to rob the grain, and accept my master's submission."
Lu Bu had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and he was suddenly overjoyed, so excited that he got up and laughed: "Ben Hou has finally waited for this day, potter, potter, God is going to destroy you, Xuzhou is destined to be my Lu Bu's, haha" After laughing wildly, Lu Bu said happily: "You should quickly go and tell Mi Zizhong that Ben Jiang will send elite soldiers to rob that batch of grain and grass and bring him to the camp, and Ben Hou will prepare good wine and meat in the tent, waiting for him to come and have a good drink." ” Mi Gui was overjoyed, thanked him for his gratitude, and hurriedly said goodbye.
As soon as Mi Gui left, Lu Bu immediately ordered to quickly summon his confidants, civil and military generals, to come to discuss the matter.
The order was handed down, and not long after, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Lu Lingji, Chen Gong, Chen Deng and other important civil and military officers all came.
Lu Bu glanced around at everyone and sneered: "Ben Hou has received Mi Zhu's reply, and in two days he will return with 300,000 grains and grass, as long as we get these 300,000 grains and grasses, our grain and grass problems will be solved." ” When the generals heard that they were going to war, their blood boiled in a blink of an eye, and they all geared up to hunt with murderous intent.
Although Lu Bu was convinced of Mi Zhu's surrender, he still did not rashly send troops and horses, but also sent a team of scouts and light horsemen to reconnoiter the grain transportation trail that Mi Zhu said.

Half a day later, the scout returned and brought back information that made Lu Bu completely reassured: On the trail northeast of Tancheng, a grain transport team was launched and was marching towards the east gate of Tancheng.
Lu Bu's face was already murderous, and he asked excitedly: "How many grain trucks, how many soldiers and horses are escorted?"
"There are more than 100 grain trucks and more than 1,000 soldiers and horses."
More than 100 vehicles should be able to hold 300,000 grains and grass, and only more than 1,000 soldiers guarding grain are not vulnerable at all.
The corners of Lu Bu's mouth were slightly raised, his hand stroked his chin, and a cold smile rose between his eyebrows.
Lu Lingji next to him said excitedly: "Father, since the information is accurate, this is really the day to destroy the potter's boy, and the daughter will personally lead a team of soldiers and horses to rob the kid's grain and grass to avenge his previous injury to his daughter." ” Lu Bu's face swept a little proudly, and he smiled happily: "Very good, for my father, I will allocate you 3,000 elite soldiers, and order you to lead the troops with Wen Yuan, and go to rob the batch of grain and grass for your father." ” Lu Bu immediately gave an order, but he knew that his daughter was too anxious to stand alone, so he ordered Zhang Liao to lead the troops with her.
"Father, you just wait for the good news from Lingji."
Lu Lingji was as excited as fire and had to retreat.
Lu Bu got up and walked to the tent door, standing with his hands in his hands, his heroic face was undisguised with pride, "Mi Zhu betrayed, and lost 300,000 grains and grass, potter, potter, even if you are scheming, suffer this double blow, Ben Hou will see how you can fight with me." ” At night, Tancheng, the inner hall of the state capital.
Under the flickering lights, Mi Zhu lay on the couch, his face pale, obviously not recovering from the military stick that day.
Footsteps sounded, the door creaked open, Mi Zhu looked up, only to see that the potter had walked in.
Seeing the state pastor entering, Mi Zhu hurriedly wanted to get up, and moved slightly, but the wound was involved, and the pain was even more painful.
"Zizhong, you are injured, just don't move while lying on your stomach."
The potter stepped forward and gently helped him down, smiling with concern on his face. isjgy:
