Yu Du sighed and was about to speak. Unexpectedly, Wu Kui took this opportunity to raise his sword and chop off Yu Du's head. Li Bi glared at Wu Kui and said, "Why are you killing the great leader?"

Wu Kui said disdainfully: "You are not ignorant of how good the great leader is. The great leader will revenge in his life. Today, we force him so much that even if he votes with us, he will definitely retaliate against us afterwards. Wouldn't we suffer a loss? Besides, the great leader is the commander of the army, and even if he surrenders under our pressure, his contribution to Prime Minister Cao will be much greater than that of us. Isn't we all robbed of the great leader? Don't you want to make great contributions and enjoy wealth?" Everyone was convinced by Wu Kui's words. Although Li Bi was unwilling to do anything.

Wang Biao was even more successful. He also contacted more than ten generals and secretly killed Yang Feng and seized some military power. At the third update, Ma Cchao's camp became popular. Wu Kui and Wang Biao and others led their subordinates to tie white cloth on their left arm to reverse Ma Chao's camp. Cao Cao, who had already been prepared, and Cao Ren and others all sent troops to attack Ma Chao's camp. Ma Chao woke up in his sleep. He had not had time to wear a helmet and lace a burqa, but he just stepped on a pair of boots, and carried a new gun and rushed out.

Sometimes a guard led Ma Chao's horse and said, "The major general is not good. Yu Du, Yang Feng's troops have rebelled. Our camp has been broken. You and run away." Ma Chao was angry and turned over and shouted loudly, "Ma Mengqi is here! The soldiers follow me." With Ma Chao's shouting, some soldiers gathered at Ma Chao. But in the entire camp, Ma Chao was extremely chaotic. There were fires everywhere, and there were shouting and killing everywhere. More soldiers in Ma Chao's camp were still fighting each other. Ma Chao led the gathered soldiers and horses to rush out. At the same time, they kept shouting loudly. Soon, Pang Dema Daijun, who was closer to Ma Chao's camp, rushed out.

Dai said to Ma Chao: "Brother, don't do anything. Let's retreat quickly." Ma Chao looked at the chaos in front of him and knew that Ma Dai's words were completely correct. More and more Yang Fengyu's subordinates began to surrender to Cao Cao's troops. Those who are still slaughtering to death are all Xiliang soldiers who have followed him for many years. On this chaotic night, these Xiliang soldiers have become a mess and cannot be effectively organized. The defeat is impossible to recover. Ma Chao is as if he is stolen. However, Ma Chao still made up his mind and said, "Brothers, follow me." After saying that, Ma led Ma Dai, and Pang De killed him like the east.

Along the way, Ma Chao, Pang De and Ma Dai killed several pursuers along the way, gathering many Western Liang soldiers. Suddenly, Ma Chao made a big furious fire in front of him, and a large group of people stopped Ma Chao's team. He shouted loudly for a general: "General Guide Bai Rao is here. Ma Chao is not going to get off the horse and tie it up quickly, when will he wait?" The soldiers behind Bai Rao all drew their bows and arrows and stared at Ma Chao. Ma Chao shouted loudly: "Those who think I am dead!" Then he urged Ma Rufeng to go forward and kill.

With Ma Chao's majesty over the past few days, Bai Rao dared to be so arrogant in front of Ma Chao. One is Bai Rao bullying Ma Chao's few men. The other is Bai Rao's many crossbows. Even if Ma Chao's kung fu is high and he can shoot Ma Chao as a hedgehog at close range. That's why Bai Rao is so bold. But now Ma Chao doesn't take this trick, Bai Rao is so scared that he runs away. While running, he shouts: "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Shoot for me!" Unfortunately, if Bai Rao doesn't run, those archers who aim at Ma Chao can't hold back and can still shoot Ma Chao to death. But Bai Rao ran away, blocking the sight of these archers. Only some archers can shoot at Ma Chao.

But how could such a scattered bow and arrow stop Ma Chao? They were all blocked by Ma Chao. Ma Chao followed Bai Rao and stabbed Bai Rao to death with one shot. Then he rushed into the enemy. Ma Dai and Pang De hurriedly followed him. Overnight, Ma Chao's army was broken. Only Ma Dai and Pang De led more than ten cavalry and followed Ma Chao out of the siege. But everyone was injured. Everyone was scared. Pang De asked Ma Chao, "Major General, our army was defeated. The hometown of Xiliang was also occupied by Xiliang and the others. Where can we go now?" Ma Chao lowered his head and said without saying a word. Ma Dai said, "Brother, since we have no place to stand in a cone now, why not put on makeup and go to Youzhou to surrender to the Grand Marshal. If you have to use it, you can raise troops to avenge your father." Ma Chao sighed and said, "The only way for the sake of this is now! Well! Let's go to Youzhou and join His Highness King Jin!"

Cao Cao broke Ma Chao, and the Central Plains returned to peace on the surface for a moment. There was no reason. First of all, although Cao Cao won a big victory, Cao Cao accepted so many surrendered soldiers at once. How complicated was that personnel arrangements, internal affairs, and military integration? How could Cao Cao have the spare time to do something else? Fortunately, Cao Cao was strong enough and had enough food and supplies after he captured Xuzhou. Moreover, Cao was a victor, so he did not need to be restrained like Ma Chao. So Cao Cao chose his elite troops to recruit 100,000 troops, and the rest went to various places to serve as military soldiers. But even so, Cao Cao would not do it for the time being.

In this way, if Cao Cao was not considered to be consumed by Ma Chao, Cao Cao successively received 150,000 troops from Ma Chao, and even if it was considered consumption, Cao Cao also received 100,000 troops from Ma Chao. Although these troops still need training, Cao Cao's strength has increased greatly. At least it is not as short of troops as before! This situation was something that Youzhou had never expected before! Although they knew that the remnants of the Yellow Turbans were too heavy to use, they did not expect that it would be so useless! Hundreds of thousands of troops were thrown into it, not only did not serve the purpose of seriously injuring Cao Cao, but instead greatly increased Cao Cao's strength. This solution is a pity! Fortunately, although it did not serve the purpose of punching the machine, it also served as the purpose of delaying Cao Cao's development, which was also a little reward!

After receiving this news, Liu Bin from Youzhou couldn't help but sigh and said to Guo Jia and others around him: "Oh! It's really better than God's plan! I didn't expect that in the end, not only did he not hurt Cao Cao, but he took advantage of him for nothing! Feng Xiao! How about it? I said before that Cao Cao cannot be ignored! With Ma Chao and the remnants of the Yellow Turban, he is not Cao Cao's opponent at all! Now you understand why I attach so much importance to Cao Cao. I regard Cao Cao as the biggest obstacle to our Youzhou unification of the world!" Guo Jia said ashamedly: "Lord! It's my subordinates who despise Cao Cao too much! I didn't realize Cao Cao's power! This time, it's all my subordinates' responsibility! My subordinates are willing to accept the punishment!" Liu Bin smiled and shook his head and said, "Feng Xiao" and said, "Lord! I'm my subordinates despised Cao Cao too much! I didn't realize how powerful Cao Cao is! This time, it's all my subordinates' responsibility! My subordinates are willing to accept the punishment!" Liu Bin smiled and shook his head and said, "Feng Xiao"

Don't care too much! Although this action ended in failure, this matter did not involve us after all. Cao Cao would not be wary of us because of this. We still have opportunities in the future! And we won't get nothing! Those yellow Turban remnants were originally abandoned children, and they would be gone, and it would be no big deal! There is no loss to us! On the contrary, although Cao Cao conquered these people, it still needed a lot of energy for Fafei to take them for himself. In this way, these yellow Turban remnants have also played the purpose of delaying Cao Cao's development! This time we were just too careless, patriotism and the ability to ask for advice from Cao Cao. As long as we pay attention to this point in the future, it will be fine!"

Guo Jia sighed and said, "My lord! My subordinates are grateful! Alas! This time, it was because we were too careless and too requested Cao Cao! Because our actions have been very smooth all the time, we have gradually developed a pride and arrogant attitude and contempt heroes in the world! Alas! I even forgot my lord's previous teachings! The lord's words, strategically despising the opponent and tactical attention to the opponent. It is really a good word! This time, the failure also sounded the alarm for us. In our future actions, we can no longer be careless!" Liu Bin heard it and smiled slightly, and said nothing more!

The next day, the senior officials of Youzhou held daily meetings as usual! But before others could speak, Mi Zhu, who had always been steady, jumped out first. And Mi Zhu also glanced at the ministers around him, saying that whoever dared to talk to me would be anxious. Then Mi Zhu said to Liu Bin: "My lord, my subordinates are not knowledgeable, and they are unsatisfied with the high expectations of his lord. They are unable to hold this position now. Please allow me to abdicate and give up the wise. Let me return to my hometown." Liu Bin was even more shocked when he heard this. What big thing happened? Why did his finance minister want to resign?

Mi Zhu is indeed the Minister of Finance of Youzhou. Since the Mi family defected to Youzhou at home, Liu Bin attached great importance to this, which turned out to be in the air. Liu Bei's Minister of Finance and Logistics! The Mi family was originally one of the world's biggest wealthy people who started as businessmen, and were as famous as the Zhen family! Although the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are not considered geniuses, they are also considered talents. In addition, in order to balance the situation in Youzhou, Liu Bin still attaches great importance to them!

In addition to letting the Mi family continue to do business in Youzhou and strongly support it in policy, Liu Bin also appointed Mi Zhu as the Minister of Finance of Youzhou! He was in Youzhou's Prime Minister's Office in charge of Youzhou's finance! Youzhou's finance mainly consists of two parts of the atmosphere, one is mainly the governing of Youzhou's Prime Minister. These are mainly the management of taxes, with Xun Yu as the Minister of Government. Mi Zhu personally took charge! The other is the King of Jin's Mansion, and Zhao Yun's elder brother is the steward of the King of Jin's Mansion. This is mainly the management of some industries under Liu Bin's name. Although the two systems are often confused and when spending money, they often do not distinguish between each other. However, there are still differences in name! One is public property and the other is private property!

After Mi Zhu took office, he worked diligently and managed Youzhou's finances in an orderly manner, which made Xun Yu and others praise him! Usually, Mi Zhu was also very silent and rarely spoke during daily meetings. He reported to Xun Yu or Liu Bin for any problems. If there were any problems, Xun Yu personally asked Liu Bin for instructions. Unexpectedly, he actually spoke in person this time. No wonder Liu Bin was so surprised!

The sun was bright outside the hall and the atmosphere in the hall was gloomy. Liu Bin clearly felt Mi Zhu's anger and frustration. And not only Mi Zhu, but many other ministers also had such expressions. Liu Bin wanted to ease the atmosphere and smiled and said, "Haha. What are you all? But I haven't seen you for a while, and nothing big happened in our Youzhou during this period. Why do you have to be so masculine? Have you all forgotten what I often say to you on weekdays?" How bold and productive are people? Only unexpected and unbelievable. This is the words Liu Bin often uses to inspire these subordinates. What an exciting bold statement!

However, these words that Liu Bin has been using to motivate his subordinates to realize their potential cannot make Mi Zhu feel excited. Mi Zhu feels that his potential has been discovered. Mi Zhu's expression is still a little excited. It is contrary to his usual graceful attitude. Liu Bin saw that the effect is not great. He laughed and said, "Zi Zhong. Since you were in charge of the finances of our Youzhou, your achievements are obvious to all. Moreover, the financial income of our Youzhou is also thriving. How can you say that you are not knowledgeable and unable to take responsibility? Could it be that I did something wrong that made Zi Zhong dissatisfied with me, so I have to give up my king? If so, come on! I apologize to you. I hope Zi Zhong can forgive me and not give up my king." As he said that, Liu Bin stood up and left the seat, and was about to bow to Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu couldn't stand it now. Mi Zhu was a real person. He was very polite. He was different from the top and the bottom, and he was divided into the top and the bottom. Mi Zhu valued it very much. Therefore, Mi Zhu saw that Liu Bin wanted to apologize to him. Mi Zhu was moved to forget most of his grievances. He hurriedly stopped Liu Bin before saluting and said, "My lord must not. In this way, you can kill me. Zhu can only repay him with death." Liu Bin stepped forward a few steps and held Mi Zhu in his hand and said, "In this way, Zi Zhong will not leave me?"

Mi Zhu choked and said, "Lord, did Zhu want to leave with his lord? Zhu Zi came to his lord. You treat me with great kindness and appointed Zhu to a heavy responsibility. Although Zhu was crushed to pieces, it was difficult to protect his lord. However, Zhu was unable to take on the task assigned to Zhu now. Even if Zhu kept his family, it would be difficult to maintain until this autumn harvest. Zhu was really powerless! Therefore, Zhu wanted to give up his position and let the lord choose another capable person to take it. Zhu was willing to assist him on the side to do his best."

The more Mi Zhu said this, the more confused Liu Bin was. Hearing Mi Zhu's words, this matter was still very serious. Liu Bin didn't dare to fight. He asked quickly, "What happened to Zi Zhong?" At this time, Mi Zhu also calmed down and said, "Lord, this matter is a first-level confidentiality incident. Please step down." Liu Bin's expression became more serious. He nodded and said, "All military advisors, ministers and left and right counselors stayed. I waited outside the hall." After Liu Bin said that, all the irrelevant personnel quietly withdrew. This was the first time in Youzhou's history that the first-level confidentiality measures were openly launched.

After all the irrelevant people left, Mi Zhu then said to Liu Bin: "Lord, because you are planning to build a city on the grassland to stabilize the situation in the grassland, and at the same time you have to carry out construction in Qingzhou. Moreover, the city you built has construction tasks, and sometimes daily restrictions. This makes it more difficult for us to support our logistics. For this reason, we mobilized a total of 840,000 civilians and slaves. This has caused a huge decline in money and surplus grain in our treasury. Moreover, in order to mobilize so much manpower and material resources, the progress of the places we originally planned to build was delayed.

And because of our continuous wars, the payment of our pensions is also a huge amount. There are also some military martyrs' reduction and exemption policies, which have also affected some of our estimated income. But this is nothing. The main problem is that the combined occurrence of these problems has caused the grain price in our Youzhou to be rising. It has exceeded the market price of one cent to five cents to one kilogram of rice. And our Youzhou banknotes are the grain standard. One cent can be exchanged for one kilogram of rice. This has led to the banknotes in our Youzhou in a high face value state. This makes us

The people used our banknotes to buy grain in exchange points in various parts of Youzhou, and then sold them in exchange for banknotes. Moreover, in order not to destroy the recognition of our banknotes among the people, Zhu neither dared to stop this exchange nor did he dare to adjust this exchange. Zhu could only secretly order each exchange point to delay time and slow down the time during exchange and use time to slow down the people's madness. But who knew that the exchange trend in the past two days has become more and more intense, and it is almost unstoppable. This is the first time Zhu encountered such a thing.

In the past, if our government had no money, some copper coins or printing some paper money could solve the problem. But now the more our banknotes are printed, the greater the deficit. Three days ago, after Zhu calculated all night, I am afraid that if this continues, the food in our Youzhou land will be exhausted in less than half a month. We are unable to support our millions of people. Zhu is really frightened. Since he has the heavy trust of his lord, he may have leaked this news and will cause even more unpredictable trouble. So he has lost his composure today. I would also ask the lord to punish Zhu De for his incompetence."

The banknotes mentioned by Mi Zhu were proposed by Liu Bin last time in order to promote the banking and insurance industries. Originally, he just wanted the banknotes to serve as checks in later generations. They were mainly used for conversion between caravans to facilitate the development of business! But later, seeing that the people responded well, they began to fully promote banknotes among the people! Naturally, grain is the most important in troubled times, so when Mi Zhu and others saw that the banknotes in Youzhou were based on grain! With these banknotes, you can buy grain in various places in Youzhou. Youzhou is now vast in territory and agriculture is developing rapidly, so his face is no longer a shortage of houses. It is understandable to use them as the basis of currency! (To be continued...)
