Mi Zhu had already set up the banquet and was waiting for Zhou Cheng to take his seat.

Zhou Cheng walked around Mi Mansion.

This mansion located in Xuzhou City is just one of the many residences of the Mi family.

However, the interior of the mansion is very elegant and does not look like a nouveau riche at all.

Zhou Cheng walked around for a while, then suddenly stopped and said,"It is rumored that Mi is the richest man in Xuzhou. What we saw today is probably just the tip of the iceberg."

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang didn't know how to answer.

They thought Zhou Cheng was here to rip off again.

However, Zhou Cheng took Mi Zhen's hand in front of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang and said,"Today is a family dinner, no need to be polite."

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang smiled awkwardly.

At this time, Zhou Chengcai took his seat and dismissed everyone.

At this time, only four people, Zhou Cheng, Mi Zhen, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, were left in the lobby.

Dian Wei and others were waiting outside the lobby.

Mi Zhen poured wine for Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng said:"Zhen'er has been accepted by me, and the Mi family will be like the Zhen family in the future."

The five daughters of the Zhen family served Zhou ChengThe whole world knows this.

And because of the relationship between Zhen Mi and others, the Zhen family is now extremely valuable.

When Zhou Cheng said this now, he was obviously telling Mi Zhu and Mi Fang that Mi's treatment would not be bad in the future.

Zhou Chengyou went on to say:"Xuzhou's new settlement requires manpower to take care of many aspects. I will not stay in Xuzhou for a long time. In the future, Xuzhou will require more efforts from you two."

Is this trying to win over them?

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang thought in their hearts.

Zhou Cheng said:"You two are both smart people. I have hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers and I will unify the world. It is only a matter of time. If you follow me, your future will be limitless. In the future, the Mi family will be precious. If you two still have different intentions, , are unwilling to serve me, or even want to betray me, then the Mi family will cease to exist."

Zhou Cheng didn't like to play carrots and sticks, he just took this opportunity to chat face to face with Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, discussing the pros and cons.

The Mi family is a merchant family, so they know the pros and cons well.

Zhou Cheng said:"Zhen'er will stay here and come back later in the evening.""

……

Mid-June of the year 201 AD.

Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others left the city and took up their posts in various places.

Zhou Cheng treated Xuzhou officials as"unchanged" as possible.

Zhou Cheng is now in the north and does not have enough talent reserves. It is impossible to transfer people from the north.

As for whether Xuzhou officials might secretly collude with Yuan Shu, Zhou Cheng didn't care at all.

Not only because of supervision, but also because of interest groups.

Zhou Cheng's arrival in Xuzhou benefited Mi Zhu, Cao Bao and others a lot.

It was impossible for Yuan Shu to give them such treatment when he was in Xuzhou.

And Zhou Cheng's requirements are not high.

As long as Xuzhou is stable, Zhou Cheng will not forcefully requisition Xuzhou's grain and grass for the time being.

The food and grass forcibly raised from the wealthy families were centrally managed and allocated, and the refugees were managed according to the military settlement method.

Zhou Cheng only wants Xuzhou and Yanzhou to be stable and not cause trouble for him.

Of course, if trouble occurs anywhere in Xuzhou, Zhou Cheng can justifiably clean up the place where the trouble occurred.

……

Zhou Cheng left Zhao Yun and Xu Shu in Xuzhou City.

Xu Shu was appointed governor of Xuzhou.

Zhao Yun led 10,000 cavalry and left 20,000 death fighting troops.

Zhou Cheng took the rest of the army and horses and returned to Puyang.

Puyang City.

Ji Ling had already learned that Yuan Shu had withdrawn his troops.

However, Ji Ling didn't panic anymore.

Now that the Zhou army wants to occupy Xuzhou, it must divide its troops.

As a result, there were not many troops that could be used to deal with Puyang.

Ji Ling was confident that he could hold on as the difference between the army and the horse was not huge.

And Ji Ling also believed that Yuan Shu would definitely not give up on him.

At the same time, Ji Ling also believed that Yuan Shu would put pressure on Liu Biao.

When the time comes for the Yuan and Liu coalition forces to counterattack Xuzhou, they will definitely put pressure on Zhou Cheng.

When the day comes, Ji Ling will choose to break out.

Ji Ling's idea was good, and what he thought was not impossible to happen.

It's just that the soldiers under Ji Ling's command were in panic.

Especially Zhou Cheng's army returned to the outside of Puyang City again.

Now Puyang is under siege again.

Zhou Cheng sent Zhang Liao to send people to shoot arrows into the city every day.

There was a letter tied to the arrow, which stated that Yuan Shu had been defeated and fled to Huainan.

As a lonely army, an abandoned army, hanging alone, the psychological defense line is very fragile.

This is the battle of the heart.

A few days later, Zhou Cheng once again led his army to Puyang City.

Zhou Cheng sent Dian Wei to the city and shouted to the top of the city.

Dian Wei shouted:"Listen to the people in the city, Yuan Jiujiu has fled to Huainan. Now he is just a withered bone in the grave. He was killed by my lord in the morning and evening. If you want to return home, you only need to open the city gate and you can live."."_
