Chapter 508

~7 min read 1,356 words

For example, the Imperial Seal; Zhang Zhao felt that Sun Sun Jian should not take it at this time.

That thing is just a broken stone.

Taking it at this time, apart from gaining the hostility of warlords like Lord Yuan Shu, Lord Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao, has no benefits at all.

Zhang Zhao actually asked Sun Sun Jian tentatively whether he had taken the Imperial Seal or whether he should let it go.

But Sun Sun Jian always shirked and said he didn't take it at all.

Can Lord Yuan Shu and the others not know whether he took it or not?

But Sun Sun Jian didn't admit it, and Zhang Zhao had no way.

However, this time the Mi clan's money and grain absolutely cannot be taken.

Otherwise, it will only be seeking one's own death.

"Alas!"

Sun Sun Jian sighed.

Don't he know these things?

"What a pity! What a pity!"

Sun Sun Jian shook his head helplessly: "I can only miss this opportunity!"

In fact, he was originally prepared to join forces with Tao Zou Zou Qian to deal with the Mi clan and Su Xuan's Jiang Jiang Xiajun navy.

But considering that even if he succeeded afterward, he would have to face Su Xuan's anger and even more terrifying troops, he had to give up this tempting idea.

"Why are all the good things Su Su Su Boyuan's? This child is really too enviable and jealous!"

Sun Sun Jian sighed.

He often fantasized that if he had Su Xuan's luck.

He wouldn't be in this situation today.

Zhang Zhao on the side also nodded with emotion: "Yes! Su Xuan, he really seems to have been favored by heaven;"

"However, the lord also needs to worry about his threat;"

"Since this person chose to implement the New Deal, he was destined to stand on the opposite side of the scholar-gentry of the world and could no longer turn back!"

"He will only move toward destruction in the future! We just need to wait quietly."

In his view, this world has always been the world of the scholar-gentry. Su Xuan is fighting against the scholar-gentry; does he still want to have a good ending?

Wasn't Wang Mang the best example back then?

Many of Su Xuan's policies today are actually quite similar to Wang Mang's back then.

For example, the policy of public ownership of land is like this.

He really doesn't understand why a smart person like Su Xuan would make such a stupid choice.

The key is that famous scholars like Xun Shuang and Cai Yong are also messing around with Su Xuan; it's completely incomprehensible!

Zhang Zhao could only attribute it to them being fooled by Su Xuan, or being senile.

"That's true!"

Sun Sun Jian nodded in agreement.

Of course, only on the surface.

In his heart, Sun Sun Jian actually understood the reason why Su Xuan took action against the scholar-gentry.

This is the same reason why he took action against the scholar-gentry in Wu Commandery and Danyang.

Because their background is not high, these scholar-gentry people are arrogant and don't look down on him at all, let alone support him.

If I don't target them, how can I gain a foothold in Yang Province?

Su Xuan's background is also not high; I think he encountered the same problem as me, so he chose to implement the New Deal, right?

As for Su Xuan marrying Xun Cai and gaining the recognition and support of the Xun family, Sun Sun Jian selectively forgot about it at this time.

Taishan Commandery,

"What? The Mi clan chose to marry into the family of the Governor of Jingzhou, Su Xuan? And they are even preparing to move the entire family and family wealth to Jingzhou?"

Tao Zou Zou Qian learned this shocking news from the messenger sent by Tao Shang, and his face turned black, and he gritted his teeth: "Good for you, Mi Zhu! Good for you, Su Su Su Boyuan! You have such courage, how dare you treat me like this?"

"I treated your Mi clan with such courtesy, and you made such a choice?"

"I said before why you, Mi Zhu, were so evasive about marrying into the family with my Shang'er; it turns out you don't look down on me, the Governor of Xu Province, but are preparing to hug Su Xuan's thigh?"

"Simply unreasonable!"

"This matter is absolutely not over! How can I let you have your way?"

"Since it is the money and grain of my Xu Province, you don't even think about taking away a single bit!"

"Someone, summon Cao Bao to see me!"

Soon, Cao Bao was summoned. Tao Zou Zou Qian directly told Cao Bao about the Mi clan's choice to marry into Su Xuan's family, and then said with a dark face: "Cao Bao! I am preparing to lead 5,000 cavalry to return to Tancheng at full speed; I will leave this side to you for the time being!"

"Is there any problem with you stabilizing Zang Ba?"

"Uh... no problem! Leave it to me!"

Cao Bao was slightly startled, then hurriedly bowed and agreed.

He really didn't expect to eat such a big melon.

So, Tao Zou Zou Qian was slapped in the face by the Mi clan?

Interesting!

"Besides, the Mi clan is preparing to move the whole clan to Jingzhou? And they hugged Su Xuan's thigh; they had good luck!"

"However, in this way, their influence and industries in Xu Province will all be vacated!"

"No! I must send a message to my family and let them contact the Mi clan and find a way to get some shops and land back;"

"Even if I can't get them for free, I have to buy some back at a low price; I can't let the Chen family take all the benefits!"

Cao Bao thought to himself.

The benefits of Xu Province had long been divided up.

Now that the Mi clan is leaving, many benefits will naturally be vacated; how could he miss it?

"Hmm! Then that's it!"

"Remember not to attack, just continue to confront like this, understand?"

Tao Zou Zou Qian still warned with some worry.

"Hmm! I understand!"

Cao Bao bowed and replied.

He thought: "Even if you don't say it, I won't run off to die."

He still has some self-awareness about his own abilities.

Zang Ba is so powerful; if he takes the initiative to attack, wouldn't it be seeking his own death?

He hasn't lived enough yet, so it's absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing.

"That's good! You go! I will set off immediately!"

Tao Zou Zou Qian dismissed Cao Bao, then mobilized all 5,000 cavalry, brought 2 days of dry rations, and set off directly to Tancheng.

And after Tao Zou Zou Qian left, Cao Bao also sent out fast horses to send the letter he had just written.

And warned the messenger to arrive in Tancheng before Tao Zou Zou Qian.

Otherwise, if Tao Zou Zou Qian really intervened fully, he might not be able to get many benefits.

More than a day later, Tao Zou Zou Qian successfully arrived in Tancheng in a hurry.

Just as he arrived at the north gate, he met Tao Shang and others who came to welcome him.

"Father, you are finally back! Great!"

Tao Shang saw Tao Zou Zou Qian and stepped forward excitedly to welcome him.

"Shut up!"

Tao Zou Zou Qian frowned, scolded, and asked: "Tell me quickly, what is the situation with the Mi clan now? Are they still in the city?"

"Uh..."

Tao Shang hesitated: "They are! However, they are about to transport all their family wealth out of the city!"

"What?"

Tao Zou Zou Qian was furious: "Then why don't you take me there quickly?"

"Father, calm down!"

Tao Shang stopped him: "I haven't finished yet! Su Xuan has already sent the Jiang Jiang Xiajun navy to meet the Mi family;"

"Moreover, there are already more than ten thousand elite Jiang Jiang Xiajun navy soldiers in the city protecting the Mi clan's transfer of family wealth!"
