Lu Xuan smiled, with a calm look, and continued without answering Mi Fang directly: "Brother Mi, do you know how the powerful local families responded to the chaos in the world?"
Mi Fang quickly asked: "Master Lu, how did you deal with it?"
In his heart, he was extremely nervous.
When it comes to the life and death of the Mi family, how can Mi Fang not be nervous?
At this moment, Mi Fang finally understood why her eldest brother, who was chatting and laughing freely around Tao Qian, always had a sad face. Why his eldest brother always stayed up until late at night when he returned home every night.
The eldest brother is thinking about the future of the Mi family.
Brother, you have worked so hard.
Mi Fang thought of this and looked at Lu Xuan again, her eyes even more sincere.
Lu Xuan was not very old, but Lu Xuan blocked Sun Ce's attack with his weak force, counterattacked Yuan Shu, raided Hefei, killed Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling, brewed Feixian wine, and was brilliant in literature.
Lu Xuan must have a way.
Mi Fang's eyes became more expectant.
Lu Xuan noticed the change in Mi Fang's demeanor, felt confident in his heart, and said with a smile: "No matter how fanciful the talk is, it is never as good as the evidence. So, let me give you a very simple example. Brother Mi of the Xun family in Yingchuan, right?"
Mi Fang nodded and said, "I only know that the Xun family is a wealthy family in Yingchuan. I don't know any other information."
Unlike his eldest brother Mi Zhu, he was more sensitive to officialdom and cared more about famous people in the world. He rarely cared about these things. Therefore, Mi Fang knew about the Xun family in Yingchuan, but he didn't know the details.
Seeing Mi Fang like this, Lu Xuan felt even more at ease. Mi Fang knew little, so he could just convince him.
If it were Mi Zhu, that wouldn't be the case.
Of course, Lu Xuan's starting point was also for the good of the Mi family.
Lu Xuan looked calm and introduced: "The Xun family of Yingchuan, the head of the previous generation, Xun Shuang, ranked sixth. There are eight brothers, known as the Eight Dragons of the Xun family. Each of them is famous throughout the world and serves as an official in the court."
"Although these people have passed away, they were all people of great renown."
"Among them, Xun Shuang once served as Sikong in the court. He was praised as 'Xun's Eight Dragons, Ci Ming Unparalleled', saying that Xun Shuang was the most powerful. Xun Shuang's father Xun Shu, known as Xun Shenjun, was a former scholar
Leader, countless scholars admired Xun Shu."
Lu Xuan asked: "Brother Mi, is this Xun family so powerful?"
Mi Fang nodded and praised: "The Xun family is indeed very powerful."
Lu Xuan continued: "The head of the Xun family this generation is Xun Yu. He, Xun You, Xun Yan and others work under Cao Cao. In addition, the Xun family also has Xun Chen, who is Xun Yu's cousin and is serving for Cao Cao.
Those who serve Yuan Shao, those who follow Xun Chen, and some other Xun family members."
"This is the Xun family's arrangement."
"Whether it's Xun Yu, Xun Chen, or Xun You, they are all descendants of the Eight Dragons of the Xun family and direct descendants of the Xun family. Outside these people, they can all say that they represent the Xun family."
"Brother Mi, after listening to the Xun family's arrangements, what inspirations do you have?"
Lu Xuan asked with a smile.
Mi Fang was a little confused. He didn't know who Xun Yu and Xun You were, but he roughly understood the arrangements between the two families.
Mi Fang said: "Master Lu, do you mean to bet on both ends? If Yuan Shao wins, the Xun family can gain a foothold in Hebei. If Cao Cao becomes the leader, the Xun family can still gain a foothold. No matter what, the Xun family will not be as strong as a mountain."
Lu Xuan laughed and said: "Brother Mi is very smart at one point. In my opinion, Corporal Yuan Shao Lixian is very good. The Mi family can arrange some people in advance to join Yuan Shao."
Mi Fang shook her head and said: "No, no, Hebei is too far. The Mi family goes from Donghai County to Yuan Shao, across Qingzhou and Yanzhou, so it's not possible to join Yuan Shao."
"Although I don't know the situation of the Xun family, I still know that Yuan Shao is famous. Yuan Shao likes famous people, and the Mi family is a merchant, a low-class person, and is not taken seriously."
Mi Fang said: "Besides, there is a big businessman named Zhen's family in Hebei, so it's useless to go to the Mi family."
Lu Xuan dusted off the wrinkled clothes in front of him and continued: "In this way, Cao Cao is more suitable. Yanzhou and Xuzhou are relatively close. The key is that Cao Cao also treats virtuous corporals and promotes meritocracy. If the Mi family goes there, they will have the same chance.
"
"Not even possible."
Mi Fang's mind was busy answering.
He quickly said: "Although I don't understand officialdom, I also know that Tao Qian and Cao Cao are hostile. The Mi family arranged for people to go under Cao Cao's command. I'm afraid that Tao Qian will take action against the Mi family in the blink of an eye. Especially when Cao Cao is cruel and kills countless people, this is also
inappropriate."
Lu Xuan sighed and said, "So, there is another person."
Mi Fang's eyes lit up, she leaned forward slightly, and asked with some urgency: "Master Lu, who else is there?"
"Jingzhou Liu Biao!"
Lu Xuan looked determined and recommended: "Liu Biao from Jingzhou serves as the pastor of Jingzhou, a corporal of courtesy, and accepts talented people from all over the world. Whether it is Mr. Mi Zhu or Brother Mi, they are all talented people. It is expected that Liu Biao will accept them. Especially Liu Biao
In Jingzhou, far away from the Central Plains, the place is stable."
Mi Fang thought about it for a moment, then shook her head and said: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate. I know Liu Biao too. He is also an old guy. He is in his fifties. Like Tao Qian, he may die one day."
Lu Xuan sighed: "In this way, I can't find anyone. The middle of Shu is too far away and the court is too chaotic, so it is not suitable for the Mi family."
Mi Fang's eyes were fixed on Lu Xuan.
The Lu Xuan in front of him has a thorough understanding of the situation and is capable of both literary and military skills. Isn't he the best candidate for the Mi family?
yes!
It’s Lu Xuan!
Although Lu Xuan still has no identity in Lujiang, Lu Xuan has Lu Kang to help him, and the Lu family is a powerful family in Jiangdong. In troubled times, it is definitely not bad to follow someone with both civil and military skills like Lu Xuan.
The key is that Lujiang County is not far from Xuzhou.
Thinking about it further, the Mi family and Lu Xuan have become closer. Isn't it logical that the Mi family wants to run Feixian Wine?
How wonderful!
The more Mi Fang thought about it, the more it made sense.
His eyes were burning and he said without thinking: "Master Lu, all the people are not suitable. I think only Mr. Lu is the most suitable."
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate."
Lu Xuan shook his head quickly and said: "Although my father petitioned the court to ask me to take over as the governor of Lujiang, and all the officials in Lujiang County also recognized me. However, I am too young. If you choose me, Mi Zhu will definitely not agree.
"
Mi Fang was even more shocked and asked in surprise: "Has Duke Lu taken over as the prefect of Lujiang?"
Lu Xuan chuckled and replied: "Yes, this happened not long ago. I raided Hefei and killed Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling, which made Lujiang breathe a sigh of relief. So, my father asked me to take over. Everyone
Everyone supports it unanimously, there is no way, there is no way to shirk it."
Mi Fang's eyes were shining brightly.
This is opportunity.
Lu Xuan was only around 20 years old, and he was already the governor of Lujiang County, in charge of one side. For such a capable and capable man, if the Mi family didn't submit to them, who would they submit to?
This is the best choice.
Mi Fang looked determined and said: "My Mi family is willing to serve Lu Taishou. Moreover, unlike the Xun family who bets on both sides, my Mi family is loyal to you. My eldest brother has been worried these days. Obviously the Tao family cannot do it, otherwise he will
I won’t worry about it, so I sincerely ask Governor Lu to accept it.”
After Lu Xuan heard this, he fell silent.
No words were spoken for the time being.
Mi Fang suddenly became anxious. He finally chose the future direction for the Mi family.
In fact, Mi Fang has a bit of inferiority complex.
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Biao mentioned by Lu Xuan are all people with status and status. The Mi family is indeed powerful. After all, they are merchants. Many people look down on the Mi family and their brothers.
So the Mi family actually doesn't have many choices.
Lu Xuan respected him very much and had great potential, so Mi Fang was unwilling to miss the opportunity.
Mi Fang solemnly said: "Prefect Lu, I am serious. I promise to persuade my elder brother. I will submit to the Mi family without any hesitation."
Lu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he took advantage of the situation and said: "Brother Mi, I heard that the best bond is marriage. This is the most reassuring arrangement for the people below. The Mi family works for me, and I am willing to marry a daughter of the Mi family.
