The sun rises and falls, and in a blink of an eye it has been more than a month.

With the joint efforts of everyone, Duchangcheng gradually regained its vitality.

After spending more than a month with Xiahou An, the thieves who surrendered also had a deeper understanding of the little adult. Although they have not yet reached the ideal state of eating every meal, at least they have never starved to death.

Those who initially yelled to find another place to work hard every day, and compared to the previous escape and fear of being frightened, this kind of sweaty day makes people feel more at ease.

On this day, Xiahou An was thinking about the future development plan of the city. At this time, Li Qing came to report that the lord was waiting for it had already appeared.

Upon hearing this news, Xiahou An showed joy on his face, and immediately put down his affairs. After explaining to everyone, he brought Xu Chu and more than ten personal soldiers and galloped out of the city.

On the road far from Duchang County, a team of hundreds of people was slowly moving forward. In the middle was a green elm carriage of more than meter long. The wheels were thick and stable, and the carriage was wide and thick, which was obviously owned by the wealthy family.

However, there are no gold and silver decorations around the body, which looks very low-key.

In the carriage, two men were chatting.

There was a fragrance on the table, and two cups of tea cups were placed. One of them said easily: "The trip to Beihai was successfully over, and I can finally return to our Xuzhou!"

This time, the governor of the state of the state came to sign an alliance with Kong Rong. Before leaving, Kong Rong signed the alliance letter, which also means that the task was completed.

The man sitting opposite him was not so happy. He was calm and had a gentle temperament. After taking the tea, he asked casually: "Zi Fang, what do you think of Kong Rong?"

The long-faced man answered without thinking too much: "Why did you ask this? I think Kong Rong is very nice, and he is polite to us. The hospitality is also rich. When he learned that we were leaving, he specially sent a general to escort..."

The Wen Ru man smiled but said nothing.

Mi Fang then wondered: "I'm wrong?"

Mi Zhu shook his head, I'm asking you how Kong Rong is?

Mi Fang was stunned.

Didn’t I just answered this question?

Then he heard his brother slowly say: "Kong Rong is a man who lacks courage and only knows some verbal writing on weekdays. As a county magistrate, he cannot even protect the county. He has only a false reputation and is destined to be difficult to accomplish... Although he has an alliance with Kong Rong today, if there is a great disaster in Xuzhou in the future, this person will definitely not be able to count on!"

After hearing what my brother said, thinking that Kong Rong was defeated by the Qingzhou moth thieves, and even the county town could not hold on, Mi Fang couldn't help but complain: "Kong Rong's military talent is really not good."

"But this trip to Beihai was not completely lost. There were two people who made me look at each other with admiration." Mi Zhu, who put down the teacup, smiled slightly.

"Who are they?"

Mi Fang was very curious about this, and even the most famous Kong Rong didn't care about who would be looking at him.

"The first person is Liu Xuande."

Mi Zhu gave the answer.

Mi Fang couldn't figure it out immediately. Liu Bei had also seen him. In addition to the vague identity of a Han clan relative, the others were simply poor. Oh, by the way, there were two sworn brothers, one who killed pigs and the other who sold jujubes...

He has a little reputation, but it is not just a far cry from Kong Rong.

It is said that when the moth thief broke out in the first year of Zhongping, this person joined the Youzhou Captain Zou Jing and followed the attack on the moth thief.

Now, eighty or nine years have passed, but there are still no achievements. Hulao Pass attacked Lu Bu, and the three brothers did not talk about martial ethics to bully the few. As a result, Lu Bu ran away.

Liu Bei is still dependent on Gongsun Zan, how could his elder brother fall in love with him?

My younger brother didn't know anything at all, Mi Zhu shook his head slightly: "Zi Fang, I have told you many times. You should not look at people based on the momentum in front of you, but you should look at them for a long time."

Then he asked: "Do you know why I stayed in the North Sea for so long?"

Mi Fang subconsciously replied: "Is it because of Liu Bei?"

Looking out the window, Mi Zhu nodded and said seriously: "Liu Xuande is a man with great mind and is sincere in dealing with others. He does not cling to others because of his noble status, and does not lightly practice it because of his humble status. He is in the mud, but can uphold the heart of benevolence and righteousness. He can be called a benevolent master."

However, Mi Fang felt that it was not. In his opinion, Liu Bei still had nothing to do. This is a fact.

"The enemy of Zhang, Zhang, was above Liu Bei, but the two were willing to follow him wholeheartedly and obey him. The soldiers under his command also loved and praised him in all respects. Doesn't this just show that Liu Bei's uniqueness?"

In contrast, Kong Rong's performance against the moth thief was simply terrible.

Mi Zhu told his younger brother firmly that all Liu Bei lacked was a display platform. If he could come to Xuzhou in the future, I would definitely help him jump into the dragon gate!

At this moment, Mi Fang even suspected that his elder brother had taken the wrong medicine, but he did not dare to refute it. After all, the elder brother was like his father, and his father died early, so the family business was supported by his elder brother.

So he was not too entangled with Liu Bei, and then asked: "Who is there anyone else?"

Mi Zhu was about to speak, but suddenly he heard the generals in front shouting: "A thief is coming, the whole army is on guard!"

After hearing the order, the soldiers around him immediately shrank and guarded the vehicle in a fish scale formation to defend.

For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Mi Fang in the car heard a thief and immediately said to his elder brother: "Brother, don't worry, I'll go and kill the thief!"

After saying that, Mi Fang jumped out of the carriage and pulled out his weapons to prepare for the battle.

In front, the galloping horse's hooves roared like thunder.

The soldiers in the defensive formation were all scared, but they also clenched the weapons in their hands and stared at the front with vigilance.

Soon after, the person who came showed his true form.

After seeing the warriors and the car parked in the middle, the young man in front of him strangled the horse galloping under his crotch, bowed his fists on the horse's back, and laughed and said, "You don't have to be afraid. I am Xiahou An, the magistrate of Duchang County. When I learned that Brother Zizhong was passing by Duchang, I came to invite Brother Zizhong to enter the city to have a glass of water and wine to practice. It is also considered to be a sign of expressing my feelings."

After hearing Xiahou An's self-report, the soldiers immediately felt relieved.

However, the general in charge was dissatisfied: "This place is dozens of miles away from Duchang County, so is it a passing by?"

Xiahou An frowned slightly: "Who are you?"

The general raised his head and replied proudly: "I am the general of Beihai Han Gou, who was ordered to escort Mi Biejia back to Xuzhou."

"A cat, dog, I haven't heard of it."

Xiahou An curled his lips, and he didn't even want to be a North Sea general, but only turned his attention to the chariot: "Brother Zizhong, what do you think?"

Hearing Xiahou An's voice, Mi Zhu lifted the curtain, bowed from afar, greeted him with a smile: "After a few days of separation, Duchangling's style remains the same, and it is not as good as before. Since Duchang's invitation was warmly invited, if he rejected it, he would seem to be alienated. Since this is the case, he had to be respectful and obeyed."

Seeing Mi Zhu agreeing, Xiahou An was very happy and nodded happily without hiding it. Then he made a gesture of invitation, turned the horse's head toward Duchang County, and opened the way for Mi Zhu.

Without any danger, the team set off again.

Mi Fang also returned to the car, put away the weapons, and continued the topic that she hadn't finished talking about just now.

"Brother, you continue."

"say what?"

"Tell me another person!"

"Didn't you already meet me?"

"Just now?"

Mi Fang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, with a shock in her eyes: "You mean, Xiahou An!"
