When it was still a village, Xia Town developed military and agriculture. After annexing Xiaozhu Village, Xia Town's economy developed. Now there are literati and aristocratic families settling in, and its cultural influence has increased.

If he had not only known that Tao Qian of Tan County was planning to gather 200,000 soldiers and horses for a decisive battle with Chu Tian, ​​Chu Tian would have thought that this was to rule the world.

Fang Xuanling came to report: "My lord, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang from the East China Sea Kingdom request to meet."

Mi Zhu, Mi Fang?

Chu Tian had a close relationship with Mi Fang, but he had never met Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, and this time it was Mi Zhu and Mi Fang who jointly asked for a meeting.

"The military advisor thought that Mi Zhu and Mi Fang came to visit. What was going on?"

"Mostly they want to seek peace and prevent Qu County from being destroyed by the war, or they want to change sides."

Fang Xuanling easily guessed what brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were thinking.

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, as wealthy businessmen in Xuzhou, value the interests of their family more than sacrificing their own interests for Tao Qian, a Yangzhou native.

"Invite them to come and see you."

Out of the intention to covet the Mi family's property, Chu Tian agreed to meet them.

Mi Zhu, who looked a little frail, came in at the same time as Mi Fang, who was built like a military commander.

Mi Fang and Chu Tian had been friends for a while. When they jointly suppressed the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Chu Tian also led troops to rescue Mi Fang who was surrounded by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which was a life-saving grace for him.

"Brother Chu, it's not that I didn't want to help you before, but Tao Qian no longer trusts me. He didn't hand over the military power to me at all, but gave it to Cao Bao and his family..."

Mi Fang felt ashamed that she could not help Cao Bao when he led his troops to invade Langya Kingdom.

"Brother Mi, there's no need to say more, I believe you."

Chu Tian didn't expect Mi Fang to save him.

He finally met Mi Zhu, the financial backer who originally belonged to Liu Bei.

Chu Tian suspected that Mi Zhu had hundreds of millions of assets. Hundreds of millions of copper coins meant one hundred thousand silver. Mi Zhu might also have millions of silver.

"I wonder why Biejia took the initiative to come to visit?"

"Langya is in danger."

Mi Zhu was worried.

"Why do you say that?"

"Lord Zhou Mu gathered 200,000 soldiers and horses in Tan County, supported by ten foreign lords, and used all the troops in Xuzhou. It is really dangerous for Prime Minister Langya to use the land of one county to compete with the land of four counties. It is better for the two sides to turn the war into friendship and cease the war for the time being.

.”

"I personally led the army to attack Dong Zhuo. Tao Qian took advantage of my absence in Langya Kingdom to try to cut off my retreat. How can I tolerate him? Now, I only want to avenge the soldiers who died in the past, so I am raising a righteous army."

Chu Tian was unmoved, Tao Qian was definitely going to fight, it just depended on when and how.

Seeing Chu Tian's high fighting spirit, Mi Zhu knew that there was nothing he could do. He could no longer stop Chu Tian's determination to fight for Xuzhou.

As an aristocratic family, it doesn't matter who wins Xuzhou, what matters is standing on the right side.

If you stand on the right side, you can still control the situation in Xuzhou; if you stand on the wrong side, a thousand-year-old family may be destroyed in the flames of war.

Mi Zhu asked tentatively: "I wonder how sure Langya Prime Minister is of winning?"

Chu Tian said without hesitation: "If Cao Bao becomes the coach, I am 100% sure. If Xiang Yan and Yang Ye serve as the coach, I am 50% to 60% sure."

"With the land of one county, are you still 50% or 60% sure of the land of four counties?"'

"Brother, you have to believe in Zimou. He defeated those yellow scarf thieves in Qingzhou."

Mi Zhu was persuaded by Mi Fang and saw that Chu Tian was confident, so he couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

"What is Chu Zimou doing?"

"The battle for Xuzhou is about to begin, but he is vigorously developing culture. I really don't understand."

At this time, the lords of the four counties of Xuzhou who were setting up defenses in Tan County and Qu County were puzzled when they learned that Xiacheng was vigorously promoting the Twelve Beauties of Luoyang, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and developing culture.

Does Chu Zimou still want to have a good fight?

"Chu Zimou, what are you thinking about? No matter how powerful your generals are, you will definitely be defeated this time..."
