Now Liu Bei is even more complacent, and looks down on the Mi family even more.
This time the Mi family moved to Lu County. To be honest, Liu Bei was not very willing.
He only heard that the Mi family still had [-] private soldiers, which would benefit Liu Bei who was currently short of troops, so he ordered his newly recruited subordinate, Sun Qian, to arrange a residence for the Mi family.
Today Liu Bei was training the new army outside the city, and he didn't pay much attention to the arrival of Mi Fang's guards.
Just now Liu Bei accidentally saw the Liushan army setting up their camp in an orderly manner, obviously a well-trained and powerful army, he sent someone to inquire, and after learning that it was the Mi family's private army, he was shocked and rushed to meet Mi Fang.
Chapter 342
Mi Fang led Liu Bei to the main hall that had just been tidied up, and the two sat down as guests and hosts.
Liu Bei couldn't wait to ask: "Zi Fang, Bei heard that the Mi family has recently recruited some of the former Yellow Turbans. I wonder if the news is true?"
When Mi Fang was asked about the most proud thing in her life, she immediately beamed with joy.
"It's Fang's luck to let you know. When he was traveling in the rivers and lakes as a merchant, he became good friends with Liu Jiaotou and Gong Jiaotou. These two used to be thieves and joined the Yellow Turban, but now they have turned their backs. Repent and make amends, and lead all the sons and daughters under his command to join the Mi family, willing to be driven by the imperial court, to protect the environment and the people, and benefit one side."
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the words.
Outside the city, he had seen with his own eyes that Liushan soldiers were well-trained. Although they were still not comparable to the white-eared elite soldiers he had formed recently, and they were far inferior to the five hundred school swordsmen carefully trained by his second brother Guan Yunchang, even if they were placed in Lu Among the regular army sequences in the two counties of Dongguan and Dongguan, they are also elite divisions.
"So, this army has already joined the Mi family's private army?"
"Of course!"
Mi Fang proudly blows up the beard on her chin, looking inexplicably happy.
"But I don't know what role Zifang intends to take when he comes to Surabaya?"
Liu Bei put aside his previous contempt for Mi Fang, and behaved as affectionately as if seeing his second uncle.
Uh, it seems right, Mi Fang is really Big Ears' second uncle who is about to take office.
Mi Fang was so shocked by Liu Bei's words that she couldn't believe it.
"Liu...that gentleman, you mean that someone can hold an official position in Surabaya City?"
Mi Zhu was appreciated by Tao Qian by virtue of his own ability, and he served as Xuzhou Biejia. He successfully changed from a merchant to an official, and got rid of the family of merchants for generations.
But Mi Fang has never been favored by Tao Qian. Although Mi Zhu has repeatedly recommended her, she has never been given an official position. Now she is just Mi Zhu's uninhibited commander-in-chief. To put it bluntly, the imperial court does not recognize it, and Mi Zhu pays for it herself. hired non-staff personnel.
This kind of identity is not worth showing off. Even a fucking fool can figure out how shameless it is to serve as a non-staff employee for his own brother.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into Surabaya City, Big Ears gave Mi Fang a big surprise.
Master Mi Er can also rely on his own ability to enter the Xuzhou officialdom.
Of course, most of the positions given to Mi Fang by Liu Bei belonged to Xuzhou's internal appointments and were not officially recognized by the Han Dynasty.
After all, even Liu Bei, the prefect of Lu County, still has the seal privately issued by Tao Qian, which has not been recorded in the court.
Now most of the princes in the states are like this. Ping Yuan and Chen Liu have formed two courts. Even if everyone wants to file, they must first know who has the final say.
In other words, the official positions of Lin Feng and Cao Dabailian belonged to Zhengyin officials.
Lin Feng relied on Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and his appointment documents were affixed with the seal of the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.
The Dabailian family raised the Young Emperor of Han Dynasty, the eldest son of the first emperor Lingdi Han, and was guarded by a group of veterans from the former court. Although there is no jade seal handed down to the country, there is the emperor's private seal, which is also released all over the world to take effect.
The rest of the princes are self-contained. Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Tao Qian are still good. At least their own official positions have a history and evidence. People like Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, etc. are simply crowned with monkeys. There are no appointment documents that the big man admits, it all depends on his big fists and thick arms, he is either a rich man or a cook... Wrong, he is either a prefect or a doctor.
As for Dong Zhuo, a well-recognized national thief, he simply proclaimed himself a prince. Anyway, no one recognized him, so he went home and closed the door, and he was happy.
Right now, Liu Da Er has promised to give Mi Fang an official position just because he has a thousand soldiers left behind. Although it is because he overshadows the sky in Lu County and no one dares to talk about what he wants to do, it can also be seen from this how much Liu Bei is eager to expand his subordinates. army, in order to gain a bigger and stronger power turf.
Therefore, on the first day of entering Surabaya, Mi Fang dreamed of becoming Sima of the West Army of Sishui City, in charge of military affairs in the west of Sishui City, and in charge of guarding and guarding the west city gate.
Hey!
Now Mi Fang trembled.
The commander-in-chief issued by Liu Bei is hidden in the sleeves of ordinary people who don’t like to show off, and those who love to show off hang it around their waists to show off. Wherever he went, the first thing he did was to lift up the military commander's order and scratch his beard, so that people would see the seal first when they saw him.
After handing over the western city of Surabaya to Mi Fang, Liu Bei personally inspected the remaining soldiers, and he was so relieved to win over Liu Pi and Gong Du, and expressed his appreciation and admiration for the remaining soldiers.
Lin Feng found Mi Fang who was busy showing off all day.
"Second master, please do something serious."
Mi Fang's eyes widened: "Why didn't I do something serious? Spreading the prestige of the Mi family in Lu County is not a serious thing?"
"My lord is still gritting his teeth and fighting with Mrs. Chen in Xiapi right now, but you are showing off in Surabaya. Don't you think it's too heartless?"
Lin Feng is not preaching alone now, he represents the ancestors of the Mi family and the glory of the generations of the Mi family, he has sublimated at this moment, at this moment he...
He told Mi Fang to cry.
Mi Fang was in her late thirties, her face was full of tears, the tears were rushing, she was crying like a tearful person.
"Old Guan, you are still a good friend. I have temporarily forgotten that my elder brother is still suffering from all kinds of attacks from the Chen family in Xiapi, but you are still worrying about my elder brother."
Speaking of this, Mi Fang embraced Lin Feng with open arms: "From today on, you are the third son of my Mi family, whether you recognize it or not, my Mi family will always regard you as the third master."
Lin Feng broke away from Mi Fang in disgust: "Stop learning more
It's useless, remember to get the elder to come to Surabaya as soon as possible. "
Mi Fang's face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum: "No way, Xiapi City still has a lot of fields of the Mi family, if there is no big brother to sit there, some people may try to seize the property of the Mi family without shame."
Lin Feng shook his head again and again, seeing that Mi Fang seemed to be taking care of Hai: "Second Master, just write to the Elder Master about the current situation in Surabaya, and the Elder Master will naturally make a decision."
Mi Fang looked in disbelief: "I'm wrong about what you mean? Is it true that the Mi family really wants to give up all the land in Xiapi?"
"Second Master, there is an old saying: If you save land and lose people, everyone will lose their land; if you save people and lose land, everyone will gain land. You don't even understand such a simple truth?"
"Is there an old saying like that? I've never heard of it, but it sounds really reasonable."
Lin Feng said in his heart, this is not nonsense, these few words are said by the old man Taizu, he has only been born in 5000 years, how can he be a person who has earned his fame?
"That's all I can say. As for how to deal with it, let's wait for the Elder Master to reply."
Lin Feng took the initiative to end this exchange between the two.
Five days later, Mi Zhu's secret letter was quietly sent to Surabaya by his confidants.
After Mi Fang opened the letter and read it, she ordered people to invite Lin Feng over and over again.
