"When I left, I said to him in particular: "The Huodexing Lord from the south of our city has come in the form of an illusion. Because you are destined to burn down your house, I want to thank you for your hospitality, so I will tell you about it. You, please go back quickly and move all the heavy financial items out of the house. This can reduce losses. I will come back at night. "After that, he disappeared.
Mi Zhu was very surprised, knowing that it was the immortal who came to help him, so he hurried home as fast as possible and moved all the things out of the house. In the middle of the night, sparks were indeed generated in the kitchen, and the wind happened to be strong, and they were blown away. The houses were all burned down.
After this incident, Mi Zhu reflected on whether he had no good deeds, so he began to use his family's property to help poor people and did many good deeds. Later, Tao Qian heard about his reputation and sent someone to hire him, but After Cao Cao raised troops, he also forgot about the recruitment, so he didn't recognize it at the time.
He offered advice: "Although Cao Cao is powerful, his troops are unknown, and the prefects in surrounding counties are dissatisfied. I am willing to go to Beihai in person and seek help from Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, and ask him to send troops to rescue Xuzhou. In addition, I need one person to go to Tian Kai in Qingzhou. If we can call for help from these two groups of troops, the siege of Xuzhou can be solved, and Cao Cao's troops will have to retreat."
Tao Qian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and had no choice. He suddenly came up with a plan and felt very happy. He immediately adopted the plan and wrote two letters, one of which was given to Mi Zhu. The other was sent to Qingzhou for help. Before the candidate was decided, he shouted in the tent: "Who dares to go to Qingzhou?" As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up. Everyone looked at it and found that he was from Guangling. His surname was Chen, his given name was Deng, and his courtesy name was Yuanlong. So according to the plan, the two of them went to the predetermined locations to seek rescue. Tao Qian himself led the people in the city to lay out defenses and defend the city to deal with Cao Cao's attack at any time.
This plan soon spread to Chang'an City. At this time, Yu Yi was exercising his arm strength in the yard, hoping to perfect his knife-throwing skills.
After Jia Xu arrived, he didn't say anything, but quietly watched Yu Yi perform his flying knife skills.
"My husband didn't notify me when he arrived, which made me look embarrassed in front of him!"
Yuyi had a somewhat accusatory tone.
"Ordinary people use bows and arrows as long-range shooting weapons. You use flying knives. This is a very good innovative method."
Jia Xu sighed.
"Hey, I'm just an ordinary person. My physical condition has limited my development in martial arts, so I can only save the country through curveballs and learn other skills. The small flying knife can only be used as a trick and is of no importance on the battlefield."
Yu Yi put away the flying knife, adjusted his breath and regained his inner strength, and then walked to Jia Xu's side.
The two of them walked side by side towards the inner hall. Jia Xu said: "That's wrong. This flying knife is easy to carry and has great stealth. If it were to be launched suddenly at close range, even a fierce general like Lu Bu would have to avoid it." Let’s divide it.”
"Haha, sir, you are complimenting me. My tricks are like a clown in front of Lu Bu." Yu Yi is still somewhat self-aware.
"What if there is some fatal poison on the flying knife?" Jia Xu suddenly narrowed his eyes with a very mysterious expression.
This suggestion really reminded Yu Yi, but the method may be a bit vicious, and he may not be able to accept this method in his heart. Knowing that Jia Xu was looking for him, he must have some battle reports from the front line, so he changed the subject and said, "Sir, when you come here this time, you must have brought some information. Could it be that Cao Cao has withdrawn his troops?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Xuzhou is still surrounded by Cao Cao's heavy troops, but there are some counselors around Tao Qian who have provided strategies."
"What's the plan?" Yu Yi asked.
Jia Xu sat down and said, "It is said that Mi Zhu and Chen Deng went to Kongrong in Beihai and Qingzhou to borrow troops respectively."
Hearing Kong Rong, Yu Yi felt very relaxed. The story he heard a lot when he was a child was that Kong Rong gave up the pear, but this had nothing to do with whether he would send troops, so he continued to ask Jia Xu about Kong Rong's situation.
Jia Xu is really a know-it-all and knows everything about Kong Rong's family background.
Beihai Kong Rong, courtesy name Wenju, was born in Qufu, Lu State. He was the 20th generation descendant of Confucius. He was very smart since he was a child. Later he became a Zhonglang general and served as the prefect of Beihai. He was very hospitable. He had one wish, which was to ensure that he There are constant banquets at home, ensuring that there is sufficient supply of wine and that the seats are filled. He was charitable and charitable in Beihai and won the hearts of the people.
"So, Xuzhou's difficulties will be solved?" Yu Yi suddenly felt hope. At least the people would not have to die in vain.
"Otherwise, although these two places are not far from Xuzhou, it will take time to rush to rescue. Moreover, there are still golden remnants in the surrounding areas and they are too busy to take care of themselves. How can we send troops to rescue them?" Jia Xu analyzed.
"In that case, Xuzhou's demise is destined!" Yu Yi sighed, this was something he really didn't want to see.
In Beihai, Kong Rong was chatting with a guest. Suddenly someone reported that Mi Zhu was here. Kong Rong received him warmly and asked about his purpose. Mi Zhu took out Tao Qian's intimate letter and said: "Cao Cao is now besieging Xuzhou. The situation is already very critical. I hope Ming Gong will come to rescue him."
Kong Rong understood the situation and said: "Tao Qian and I still have some friendship, and you came to me specifically, why should I not go? It's just that I don't have any grudge against Cao Cao, so I think it's better to write about this first Go and persuade him to make peace, and if he doesn’t listen, send troops to rescue him.”
Mi Zhu said: "Cao Cao is relying on the superiority of his own troops and horses and will not say anything no matter what."
Kong Rong refused to listen and still carried out his plan. While counting the soldiers and horses in Beihai, he sent people to deliver a peace letter to Cao Cao. While they were discussing, someone suddenly reported that the yellow turban thief Guan Hai was bringing some remaining soldiers and horses. , ten thousand people came to fight in the direction of Beihai. Kong Rong was very surprised, so he quickly re-counted his troops and went out of the city to fight against the Yellow Turban thieves.
Guan Hai walked to the front of the formation and shouted: "I know you have a lot of food in Beihai, and I don't want to attack you. I just need you to lend me about ten thousand stones, and I will leave on my own, otherwise I will break your city." Kill all the people."
Kong Rong sneered and said: "I am a minister of the Han Dynasty, and I am guarding the land of the Han Dynasty. How can I give food and grass to the bandits?"
Kong Rong's words were full of sarcasm. Guan Hai was furious immediately, brandishing a machete, and was ready to attack Kong Rong directly. Kong Rong sent his own general Zong Bao to fight, but he didn't expect that his martial arts skills were too low and he didn't even get a few hits. In the next round, he was killed by Guan Hai under his horse and died.
As a result, the morale of the soldiers dropped and they were in disarray without fighting. Kong Rong had no choice but to take them and flee back to the city. Guan Hai surrounded Beihai City, and Kong Rong felt very depressed. As for Mi Zhu, who came to borrow troops, he secretly lamented his bad luck.
