Chapter 135 Kong Rong: Giving away pears? I made them risk their lives to eat pears!
Ultimately, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, and Chen Dao were executed.
As for whether Mi Zhen will resent Su Yu.
Su Yu felt that this question was not important at all.
The two are not equal in status.
If Mi Zhen were a smart woman, she would only be more attentive to Su Yu, not resentful.
resentment?
That depends on whether you're qualified!
If it weren't for Su Yu, the entire Mi family would have died!
The fact that only the main culprit, Mi Zhu, has been dealt with is already quite merciful.
Moreover.
The relationship between Mi Zhu and Mi Zhen was also quite ordinary.
Mi Fang and Mi Zhen were born to concubines, while Mi Zhu was the eldest son of the legitimate wife.
Despite claiming to be siblings, Mi Zhu only intended to use her as a tool for a political marriage with Liu Bei.
The reason Mi Zhen was allowed to take charge of part of the trade routes was because Mi Zhu's father only had these three children.
Mi Fang and Mi Zhen also had a talent for business, so Mi Zhu had no choice but to use them.
……
With the deaths of Mi Zhu, Chen Dao, and Sun Qian, the Battle of Xiapi came to an end.
Qingzhou border
The three Liu brothers, fleeing in disarray, now looked like beggars.
The three brothers endured wind and rain, sleeping outdoors along the way.
To avoid the possible appearance of Cao Cao's army, they dared not take the main road at all, but instead took detours along the side roads.
Even their warhorses were killed by the three brothers to satisfy their hunger.
"Big brother, where are we going now?"
Zhang Fei asked with a nervous expression.
People change as they are influenced by their environment.
The once arrogant Zhang Fei has lost his former spirit after the series of defeats in Xuzhou.
"Yide, Yunchang, it's all because your elder brother is incompetent that he has dragged you down with him."
Liu Bei burst into tears.
He wasn't crying on purpose; he was genuinely sad at that moment.
He finally became the governor of Xuzhou and entered the high-level game.
I thought I could make a name for myself in Xuzhou and build a successful career.
Unexpectedly, before he could even warm up the seat of governor, Cao Cao kicked him off!
"Big brother..."
Guan Yu was filled with grief and indignation.
After many twists and turns, the three brothers have been starting their own business for quite some time now.
Overnight, we were back to square one.
In fact, things have gotten worse and worse, not as good as before.
But Liu Bei was no ordinary person.
After calming himself down, he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Beihai to seek refuge with Kong Rong.
After all, he had once saved Kong Rong's life, and Kong Rong should not forget this kindness.
"Oh, right," Liu Bei suddenly remembered.
There is also a folk tale called "Kong Rong Giving Up the Pear".
It tells the story of Kong Rong when he was a child, giving the bigger pear to his older and younger brothers.
Surely such a "benevolent, righteous, loyal and honest" person would help Liu Bei, right?
……
however.
When Liu Bei and his two brothers arrived at the city of Linzi, they did not even get to see Kong Rong.
Enraged, Liu Bei shouted at the city wall:
"Prefect Kong, have you forgotten the kindness I showed you when I saved your life?"
Kong Rong chuckled:
"Xuande, Xuande, the meaning of gratitude is lost when it's spoken."
"It seems you still cherish this favor and hope that I, Kong, will repay it."
"Fine, I feel sorry for you, so I'll treat you to a meal."
After saying this, Kong Rong sent someone to deliver a few pears so that Liu Bei and his two brothers could have something to eat on their journey.
Liu Bei's mentality is about to collapse!
WTF!
Do you think you can just give us a few pears and leave us alone?
Guan Yu glared angrily and questioned Kong Rong:
"What do you mean by this, Prefect Kong? I have always heard that you are a benevolent and righteous man, and that you once shared pears with your brothers."
"And now you want to use this pear to humiliate us?"
Kong Rong laughed heartily:
“Xuande, Yunchang, Yide, I have already done more than enough by not sending anyone to arrest you.”
"Do you really want me to completely break ties with you and send troops to capture you and hand you over to Cao Mengde before you'll feel at ease?"
Liu Bei felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He got it.
It must have been news of the Battle of Xuzhou that reached Linzi, which is why Kong Rong treated them this way.
What are the three brothers now?
He was a defeated general, someone who almost became a prisoner!
When they rescued Beihai before, at least they were using Gongsun Zan's name.
Kong Rong was giving face to Liu Bei, which was also giving face to Gongsun Zan.
Now, Liu Bei's departure from Gongsun Zan's camp can be considered a betrayal in some respects.
Even if Gongsun Zan accepts them back, there will always be a thorn in their side.
With everything gone, Kong Rong naturally had no reason to give Liu Bei face.
The three brothers left Linzi and did not go to Gongsun Zan's place.
Only the three brothers know exactly where they went.
Given Liu Bei's personality, he might remain silent for a while, but he wouldn't give up.
This is his kind of "adversity quotient" spirit.
The more desperate the situation, the more potential can be unleashed.
But what the three brothers didn't know was...
The sequel to Kong Rong sharing pears is as follows:
Kong Rong committed a crime, and his brother took the blame for him, resulting in his execution according to Han law.
A mob stormed his house, and his younger brother was killed by the mob in his place.
Let pears?
That's like risking your life to eat pears!

Yanzhou
Xun Yu was sitting in his residence, diligently handling government affairs.
As a servant—no, as a political expert—Xun Yu was truly dedicated and responsible.
Suddenly, Cheng Yu walked in from outside.
Upon seeing Cheng Yu arrive, Xun Yu smiled:
"Lord Cheng, have you finished dealing with all your current affairs and come to help me with the remaining tasks?"
Cheng Yu's smile grew deeper and more sinister.
Xun Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Before Xun Yu could even guess, Cheng Yu smiled and said:
"Wenruo, I have come today to bid you farewell."
"Starting tomorrow, I will be the Prefect of Xuzhou."
"There's still a box of official business left today, I'll leave it to you, Wenruo."
Xun Yu froze instantly.
Cheng Yu walked out feeling refreshed.
Going to Xuzhou would allow me to pick up a few assistants, making the workload much lighter than in Yanzhou.
Xun Yu, inside the mansion, gently patted his chest, trying to comfort himself:
"It's just that Lord Cheng is taking office alone, it's not a big problem, not a big problem..."
A short while later, the butler came to report:
"Master, Master Cheng has packed his bags and is ready to depart."
"He also took Zhang Zhao, Chen Qun, Jiang Ji, Zhao Yan, and others with him!"
"boom!"
Xun Yu's veins bulged, and he jumped up!
He, who was always well-mannered, couldn't help but curse angrily:
"Is that old man Cheng Yu crazy?"
"It's one thing for Zhang Zhao and Chen Qun to leave, but why is he even targeting Jiang Ji and Zhao Yan?"
"He's trying to kill me!!!"
Enraged, Xun Yu completely forgot to consider who the mastermind was.
All he knew was that the four people chosen by Cheng Yu were the four with the strongest political abilities.
