"Alas, this is my responsibility."

"It's all for Xuzhou."

Mi Zhu nodded repeatedly and responded to Liu Bei with a smile.

"Zi Zhong."

"How about sleeping with me tonight and having a good chat about the state of the world?"

Liu Bei held Mi Zhu's hand and suggested.

"Uh... still no."

"I'm just a businessman, how can I have any real insights?"

"I think that even if the envoy wants to find someone to discuss the world's situation, he should find someone as capable as Wang Lang."

Mi Zhu refused repeatedly and found someone to take the blame.

Hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but think of a few big words in his mind.

Isn't it beautiful!

He felt that if he really slept with Wang Lang, he would not have any sleep tonight.

He had to listen to Wang Lang's praise for a whole night.

"Uh... he'd better forget it."

Liu Bei waved his hands repeatedly.

"Report!"

"Your Excellency, I have come from Qingzhou to discuss important matters with you, my Lord."

Just then, a guard ran in and reported to Liu Bei.

"Qingzhou?"

Liu Bei frowned.

He had just sent Jian Yong to Qingzhou.

As a result, people from Qingzhou came.

Coincidentally, it is probably unrealistic to ask Jian Yong to come back now.

After all, he didn't have a phone these days.

"Since the Lord has important matters to attend to, I will take my leave."

Mi Zhu bowed and tried to slip away.

"Wait a minute."

"Zi Zhong is the deputy governor of Xuzhou, not an outsider, so please sit in."

"Maybe you can give me some advice."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei immediately spoke.

"This...No."

Mi Zhu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.

Soon, Wang Lu, who was exhausted from the journey, followed the servants of the mansion to the front hall.

"Wang Lu, the deputy governor of Qingzhou, greets Envoy Liu."

Wang Lu bowed respectfully to Liu Bei.

"Ah."

"You have come from afar, my dear. I wonder what brings you here?"

"I have a close relationship with Tian Bosi, but what difficulties did Tian Bosi encounter?"

Liu Bei looked at the person who came and asked.

"Your Excellency is truly a master of foresight."

"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou, people's livelihood has been in decline, with nine out of ten houses empty."

"Now my lord really has no food or fodder to provide aid to the people."

"Alas, I heard that the envoy has occupied Xuzhou and has become the governor of Xuzhou. My master hopes that the envoy will provide some food and fodder to Qingzhou for the sake of our past friendship."

"When the people of Qingzhou recover, we will return the money in full."

"Envoy Liu's righteous act will surely make the people of Qingzhou weep with gratitude."

Wang Lu's expression was moved, and his tone was pleading, which was so pitiful.

As for why it is said to be a subsidy to the people, rather than because they cannot afford to raise horses.

He is afraid.

What if he said that he couldn't afford to raise horses, and Liu Bei asked them to bring the horses over and he would help them raise horses in Qingzhou? What would that mean?

So he simply didn't say it, but instead used moral kidnapping to hold Liu Bei hostage.

Brother Liu, who always likes to kidnap others, was morally kidnapped today. He felt so disgusted.

Use my tricks against me?

You are the one who is rebelling against Tiangang!

However, the tactic of moral kidnapping is extremely effective when dealing with a moral person like Liu Bei.

After all, he relies on this to make a living. If he has no morals, how can he kidnap others?

"This... Since it is..."

Liu Bei was reluctant and was just about to agree.

"Cough cough!"

As a result, Mi Zhu beside him coughed.

We can't let him agree.

If he agrees, who will provide the food?

Isn't it still the Mi family who is being taken advantage of?

No, absolutely not!

"My Lord."

"You forgot, we also... have no food to survive the winter."

"Last year and this year, there were continuous wars, and even the rats in the treasury starved to death."

Mi Zhu cupped his hands and spoke immediately.

"Who is this?"

Wang Lu's eyes twitched slightly and he looked at Mi Zhu in confusion.

It was about to succeed, but it was messed up by this fat guy. Damn it!

"This is the Deputy Governor of Xuzhou, Mi Zhu and Mi Zizhong."

Liu Bei extended his hand and introduced Mi Zhu.

"It turned out to be Mi Beijia."

"This...can't you squeeze out a little bit?"

"If it weren't for the fact that life was truly difficult, my lord wouldn't have troubled Envoy Liu."

Wang Lu asked with a bitter look on his face.

"Zi Zhong, how about..."

Liu Bei was just about to speak to persuade them, as he knew that the Mi family would not be so poor.

Even if we have really reached the bottom, how deep this bottom is remains to be seen, isn't it?

“This is really not okay.”

Mi Zhu shook his head and refused verbally.

Are you kidding? He is ready to run away.

How could I possibly use my own food and supplies to earn fame for you, Liu Bei?

"Well, whatever, I'll take my leave now."

After being ruthlessly rejected by Xuzhou, Wang Lu had no choice but to leave in disgrace.

"Zi Zhong, why is this happening?"

After Wang Lu left, Liu Bei asked with an unhappy look on his face.

What a great opportunity!

Once the grain is provided to Qingzhou, wouldn't Tian Kai be his vassal?

"My Lord."

"You know, there will be a battle between you and Cao Cao next year."

"We can't even make ends meet."

"How can you fight if you give them food?"

Mi Zhu looked at Liu Bei and explained quickly.

"hiss!"

"Yes, I almost missed something important. Fortunately, Zi Zhong stopped me."

Liu Bei took a deep breath and finally came to his senses.

Yes, we still have to fight Cao Cao next year!

How to fight without food?

War may seem like a battle between people, but in reality it is a battle of logistical supplies!
