Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 393 Guangling Chen Jiao
As soon as Zhang Sui came in, everyone in the shop noticed him.

The two women in front of the counter were about to come over.

Mi Zhen continued to work while asking, "Why are you here today?"

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "I saw you were busy before, so I came here today to see what you were doing."

"It's strange that you would do this."

Zhang Sui was about to go over.

Mi Zhen quickly signaled him to stop and pointed at the little girl.

The woman also looked at Zhang Sui warily.

Zhang Sui coughed a few times before stopping and standing at the door of the shop for a while.

Mi Zhen continued to dress the little girl while whispering something.

The little girl's face flushed and she hummed twice in response from time to time.

It took nearly half an hour to end.

The girl blushed and followed the woman away.

Mi Zhen sent the two away, and then invited Zhang Sui in. Under the veil, her pretty face said strangely: "My dear, why are you here today--"

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "Just came to see you."

Glancing around, Zhang Sui asked, "Are you specializing in the women's rouge and clothing business here?"

Mi Zhen hummed and said, "No matter if it's war or any other time, women from wealthy families always love to dress up and be particular about it."

"Comparatively speaking, it's easier for women to make money."

"Since I am the daughter of a businessman, my parents have always hoped that I would marry a son of an official, so they invited many people to teach me how to dress."

"Even after our parents passed away early, my brother did not give up on this."

"Although I hate these things, I have to force myself to do this for the sake of the family's revitalization."

"I just didn't expect that my brother would not care about my life or death at all for the sake of the family's revitalization."

Thinking of Lu Bu leading a large army to attack and besiege the city, she was terrified for her fiancé Liu Bei. However, the assassin she sent out to get information came back with the news: her fiancé had escaped! He had run away with a bunch of defeated soldiers!
She was so sad and angry at that time!
Such an irresponsible man, his brother, still delusionally hopes that he will let bygones be bygones and continue with the engagement.

Mi Zhen's teeth were about to break.

Mi Zhen glanced at Zhang Sui in front of him and suppressed his anger.

There are few good men in the world!

It's just that she didn't want to implicate others for no reason.

Zhang Sui saw that Mi Zhen looked a little strange and did not continue the conversation.

Mi Zhen settled down so quickly.

Then after I take over Xuzhou, I can try to cooperate with her.

In the late Han Dynasty, merchants had a low status.

However, merchants are indispensable.

Especially in the late Han Dynasty, he always believed that the three most important factors in fighting a war were: intelligence, food and soldiers.

All three are indispensable.

Especially in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, the early or late acquisition of intelligence could greatly affect the situation.

If you want to obtain intelligence as quickly as possible and cannot improve traffic in a short period of time, making full use of merchants is a good method.

Although Mi Zhen of the Mi family is a woman, she has such a talent for business. If used well, she will be a great help.

Zhang Sui stayed in the shop for a while and then left.

Mi Zhen looked at Zhang Sui's leaving back, with a hint of doubt in her eyes behind the veil.

She originally thought that this man came to her because of her beauty.

However, during these two exchanges, she did not see any greed in the other party's expression.

As for the rest, she couldn't think of it.

Now the wealth of Mi family has been squandered by Liu Bei, and the Mi family has long lost its former glory.

He had another argument with his brother.

She is also the daughter of a businessman.

She couldn't think of anything else about herself that could be used by others except her face.

After thinking for a while, Mi Zhen still couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and stopped caring about it.

When soldiers come, we will attack the enemy and when water comes, we will build earthen dams.

He always has a purpose when he looks for himself.

Wait for him to tell the reason. If he doesn't, just treat him as an old friend.

Zhang Sui left Mi Zhen's shop and then strolled around Xia Pi City to understand its layout.

Finally, he returned to Chen's house, drew a map of the entire Xia Pi City, and asked someone to send it to Tian Feng so that Tian Feng could prepare for the future siege.

As dusk approached, sixteen bodyguards rushed back one after another.

Brought back Chen Yu, the prefect of Guangling County!

Just as Guo Jia had predicted before, Guangling County Magistrate Chen Yu was very afraid of death!

According to Chen Yu himself, the city had not yet been breached and he felt that he could not withstand the attack of Sun Ce's army, so he left his soldiers to continue resisting and he himself fled with his personal guards.

He didn't even take his family with him.

He was afraid that bringing his family along would slow down his escape.

Zhang Sui felt extremely disgusted with Chen Yu's self-narration.

Before he traveled through time, he disliked Chen Yu in every way.

Although this person is Uncle Chen Deng, he does things in an extremely ugly and incompetent manner.

Once, Yuan Shu, the Xiongnu and Tao Qian jointly attacked Cao Cao, and before leaving, they entrusted Chen Yu to guard Shouchun.

As a result, after Yuan Shu was defeated, Chen Yu still dreamed of occupying Shouchun and becoming king!

He was beaten by Yuan Shu and fled in a panic.

Now, he was stationed in Guangling, but was beaten like this by the generals under Sun Ce.

He doesn't even dare to ask for his family.

Although he was disgusted, Zhang Sui still comforted Chen Yu and let him settle down in Xia Pi.

Chen Gui and his son Chen Deng were relieved to see Chen Yu return safely.

In the evening, Chen Deng called Chen Jiao and introduced him to Zhang Sui.

Although Chen Jiao is from the Chen family of Guangling.

To be precise, his father died early, and he followed his mother, and took his mother's surname, Chen.

He came to Xia Pi to study, and has been in Xia Pi for the past few years.

Because he was not in Guangling, he luckily escaped the danger of being slaughtered by Sun Ce.

When Chen Deng introduced Chen Jiao to Zhang Sui, Chen Jiao's eyes were swollen from crying.

His grandfather, uncle, and mother are all in Guangling!

This time Chen Yu abandoned the city, and Sun Ce's generals Lu Fan and Xu Kun massacred the people in the city, and none of his family members escaped.

Zhang Sui could only comfort Chen Jiao by saying that he would avenge him.

Afterwards, Zhang Sui asked Chen Jiao about his words to Cao Cao.

Chen Jiao suppressed his grief and anger and came forward with a confident tone.

Zhang Sui, Guo Jia, Chen Gui and Chen Deng all listened and thought there was no problem.

The next day, Chen Jiao took Chen Deng's family mark and headed straight to Shouchun!

According to intelligence, Cao Cao's army is outside Shouchun City.

Originally, Cao Cao wanted to besiege Shouchun.

However, the sudden addition of Yuan Shao's 3,000 cavalry forced Cao Cao to temporarily stop the attack.

Chen Jiao's goal this time was to let Cao Cao attack Yuan Shao's 3,000 cavalry, thus forcing Yuan Shu to be unable to send troops to rescue Lu Bu.

Three days after Chen Jiao left, Zhang Sui did not go anywhere. He stayed at Chen's house and repeatedly confirmed the details of the siege with Chen Gui, Chen Deng, and Guo Jia.

Three days later, Tian Yu rushed to Guangling and brought back information about Guangling.

Guangling is empty.

There are dead bodies everywhere!

Sun Ce's generals Lu Fan and Xu Kun massacred the already small population of more than 100,000!

Only less than 4,000 officials and their families from Guangling were left behind and taken away.

Chen Gui and his son Chen Deng began to slowly arrange for their clansmen to withdraw from Xia Pi and retreat to Guangling.

In order to avoid being discovered by Lu Bu, Chen Gui, Chen Deng, and several of Chen Deng's brothers were all in Xia Pi.

The Chen family of Xia Pi retreated from Guangling, starting with the children and the elderly.

Then came the women.

During this period, Qin Yilu, under Lu Bu's order, took his own 1,000 men and horses and escorted 30,000 hu of grain to Shouchun to seek another marriage alliance with Yuan Shu.
