Chapter 686: Mi Family Takes Refuge
The two brothers looked at each other. They understood their sister's thoughts. They had cooperated with General Pingdong for several years and knew more about him. They were also attracted to these young people who started from scratch and built such a big foundation. After the news of the marriage was sent back from Luoyang for the second time, they were even more excited.
She said she was passing by, but in fact, she must have seen her elder brother hesitate, so she came in.
Seeing this, Mi Zhu finally made up his mind and said, "Let someone prepare. Tomorrow, my younger sister will go to Luoyang with us!"
Hearing this, Mi Huan blushed, nodded, bowed again and left the room.
The next day, Mi Zhu led hundreds of servants and maids, and went to Luoyang after asking for leave from Tao Qian.
On July 10, Mi Zhu and his party arrived in Luoyang. After entering Luoyang, he arranged his younger sister in Luoyang's house, and then took gifts to meet Huangfu Song. After discussing with Huangfu Song for nearly an hour, he returned to his house with satisfaction.
Then, Mi Zhu went to Lou Gui's house. Since he decided to take refuge with his whole family, the existing house in Luoyang was a bit cramped, so he had to buy some houses from Lou Gui and then connect them together, otherwise he would not be able to accommodate the family servants who moved from Qu County.
After meeting Huangfu Chaobo, Mi Zhu decided to offer all his tens of thousands of servants and maids, leaving only hundreds of direct servants and their families of the master's family. As for how to settle the others, that was Lou Gui's business.
Huangfu Chaobo was also very happy that the whole family of Mi came to surrender, and immediately decided to appoint Mi Zhu as a bookkeeper. Although it was quite different from the deputy driver in Xuzhou, Huangfu Chaobo let him take charge of the business of the entire Sizhou and Pingdong General's Mansion. His power was no different from that in Xuzhou. The most important thing was that in Sizhou, there was no one to restrict everything like in Xuzhou.
Not only Mi Zhu, but even Mi Fang was given important positions. Huangfu Chaobo knew that his future second brother-in-law had limited abilities. Just after Zhao Yu and Huang Xu got married, Huangfu Chaobo was going to let both of them go to Longhua. In this way, the position of the Eight Pass Commander was vacant, and Mi Fang was just right to fill this vacancy.
Such an arrangement moved the two brothers of the Mi family.
A few days later, Zao Qi, who went to Zhongshan, rushed back to Luoyang. As Huangfu Chaobo expected, the Zhen family declined the marriage and chose the second son of the Yuan family, who was in the limelight. However, everyone in Luoyang didn't care. Now that the two had been determined, it didn't matter whether the Zhen family's affairs succeeded or not.
In the following time, the entire Pingdong General's Mansion was busy with Huangfu Chaobo's marriage. According to the results of the discussion with Huangfu Chaobo, although Han Xue and Mi Huan could not be given the title of wife, all the wedding procedures were carried out according to the marriage, but the two got married on the same day.
After Lou Gui's careful calculation, the date was finally set on August 20th.
In the following time, Huangfu Chaobo was either busy with political affairs or taking time to accompany Xiaojing. To be honest, Huangfu Chaobo only viewed the marriage in the game with a playful attitude. If it were not for the stability of his own power, he would not have thought about this problem.
Fortunately, there were a group of subordinates to deal with such complicated issues, and Huangfu Chaobo basically didn't care, especially the three old men, because Hongnong and Hanoi were basically stable, and now they were conditioning their bodies, so the three were basically in Luoyang. The wedding was also taken care of by the three people. Fortunately, the three of them only needed to take charge of the overall situation, and a large group of people were doing the specific things.
The news that Huangfu Chaobo was about to get married spread quickly throughout the Han Dynasty. Although it was not a grand wedding, for the people of the entire Sizhou, especially the people of Luoyang and Hongnong counties, they were all greatly favored by Huangfu Chaobo, so after learning that Huangfu Chaobo was about to marry two wives, the people in the two counties spontaneously got busy.
Especially in Luoyang City, the people in all streets and alleys were spontaneously arranging.
In addition to the enthusiastic response of the people and officials and soldiers in the territory, other princes of the Han Dynasty had different reactions.
After receiving the news, the princes who had good relations with Sizhou sent people to Luoyang one after another to prepare to attend Huangfu Chaobo's wedding. For example, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Kong Rong of Qingzhou, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, Lu Bu of Bingzhou, Kong Zhu of Yuzhou, and Zhang Miao of Chenliu have clearly stated that they will send people to attend the wedding, and some people who are far away have even sent people to set off.
While Huangfu Chaobo was enjoying his rule, many places in the Han Dynasty were not stable.
The most eye-catching one is the Changshan State in Jizhou. Historically, Zhang Yan did not truly surrender until Cao Cao took control of Jizhou, so it can be seen that Zhang Yan is also a fierce man.
In the game now, with the help of Huangfu Chaobo, Yuan Shao attacked Zhang Yan without being prepared. On the contrary, with Huangfu Chaobo's reminder and secret help, Zhang Yan was much more prepared than in history.
The two families fought like a comet hitting the earth, and it was extremely fierce. After more than ten days of fierce fighting, Yuan Shao finally occupied the two outer counties of the Black Mountain Army, Jiumen and Pingji, but after the capture, he found that he had lost tens of thousands of troops and got two empty cities. Not to mention the population and materials, even the wood and stone of the houses were dismantled by the Black Mountain Army for defending the city.
Yuan Shao was furious when he saw the situation in the city. He ignored everyone's opposition and ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead 100,000 troops to attack Zhending City, which was guarded by Zhang Yan. Unfortunately, the tired Yuan Shao army could not get any advantage in the face of the Black Mountain Army, which had been well-rested and ready for battle.
At the beginning, Yan Liang's army was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of thousands of crossbowmen from the Black Mountain Army, and suffered heavy losses. In the following days, although the two led troops to attack the city several times, they were all repelled by the Black Mountain Army. When Yuan Shao led the army to arrive, he could only sigh at the city.
After the army attacked for several days, it still failed to capture the city. Under the persuasion of a group of advisers, Yuan Shao had to order the withdrawal of troops. After sending two generals to guard the two cities of Jiumen Pingji to defend against the Black Mountain Army, the army retreated to Bohai State. The two sides were deadlocked.
After returning to Nanpi, Yuan Shao learned that his hasty dispatch of troops was all due to Huangfu Chaobo's mischief, and he was furious, saying that he would teach Huangfu Chaobo a lesson sooner or later. Unfortunately, the two families are not in contact now, so for the time being, they can only jump and curse.
