Chapter 8: I can destroy Adou with just one move?

Looking at Jian Yong and the other two who were in tears of gratitude, Xiao Fang suddenly understood something.

The reason why Old Liu had a son in his old age, and A Dou was born when he was over 40, was probably due to the fact that he was displaced for too long in the first half of his life, either on the run or on the way to escape.

Take this time for example, if Mrs. Su had not been lucky enough to meet me, most of them would have died here, ending up with one corpse and two lives.

Old Liu's unborn son was gone just like that.

Now that Mrs. Su has been rescued by him, it may not be long before she gives birth to a son for Old Liu.

Does this mean that there will be no more work for Adou in the future?

Considering this, it is a blessing.

If a dynasty wants to be strong and continue for more than two hundred years, the first and second generation monarchs must at least be wise rulers.

Although Adou could not be considered a mediocre ruler, he was at least a long way from being an wise ruler.

Now that Adou has been replaced, it should be a good thing for the future.

"It's just a small favor, please stand up quickly."

Xiao Fang's thoughts returned to reality and he hurriedly helped the three people up.

Jian Yong then told Sun Mi and the others that Xiao Fang was planning to go to Haixi, and it just so happened that they also wanted to escort Madam Su to Haixi for temporary refuge.

When Mi Fang heard that Xiao Fang was also going to his Mi family's old nest, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he warmly invited Xiao Fang and his party to stay in his Mi family's cave for a while, and he also did his best to play the role of a good host to express his gratitude.

"Since Brother Mi has shown such kindness, I will apologize for bothering you."

Xiao Fang was originally going to Haixi to wait for Lao Liu. Since the Mi family provided food and accommodation, he naturally agreed.

So the two groups of people joined together, took a boat and headed north, continuing their journey to Haixi.

They escaped from Lu's pursuit and had a smooth journey, arriving near Haixi two days later.

After everyone got off the boat, Mi Fang took Xiao Fang and his party and went straight to Mijiawubi outside Haixi City.

In the afternoon, a dock wall facing the sea came into view.

"This Mi Family Wall is as big as a small city. This is the first time I have seen such a large wall."

"The Mi family is the richest family in Xuzhou, and their reputation is well-deserved."

Zhuge Liang muttered quietly.

Although they were from the same hometown of Xuzhou, Zhuge Liang was shocked when he witnessed the powerful strength of the Mi family for the first time.

Xiao Fang was not surprised at all.

The news that the Mi family is rich enough to rival a country is not just exaggerated.

When Old Liu came to Mi Zhu for help when he was down and out, Mi Zhu treated him generously and gave him thousands of slaves, allowing Old Liu to recover instantly.

Because of this, Lu Bu was afraid that Lao Liu still had strength and did not dare to force him too much. He chose to shake hands with Lao Liu and settled him in Xiaopei.

As the host, Mi Fang led Xiao Fang and others to Wubi, introducing the Mi family's industry in a proud tone all the way.

How many fields in Haixi belong to the Mi family? How many salt fields on the seashore belong to the Mi family? How many people are tenants of the Mi family within a hundred miles?

"Brother Mi, there seems to be something strange in your house!"

Xiao Fang suddenly reined in his mount and shot his sharp eyes towards the dock wall in front of him.

Mi Fang was startled and stopped with everyone else.

Faintly, there were shouts and screams, and from time to time, arrows flashed in the sky towards the sea.

"Someone is attacking my Mi family. Could it be Lu Bu's troops?"

Mi Fang's face changed and he was immediately shocked.

Everyone became nervous.

Xiao Fang looked calm and said calmly:
"Lü Bu just conquered Xia Pi, it is impossible for him to reach so far, most likely it is someone else."

"The enemy did not attack us from all sides. It must be because they have limited troops and are attacking from the east, most likely from the sea."

"Let's go, let's go check it out first."

Everyone was skeptical about Xiao Fang's analysis. Mi Fang did not dare to hesitate and immediately led everyone into the Mi family's cave.

When we arrived at the east wall of the dock, we saw that a battle of attack and defense was indeed going on.

Arrows flew in from outside the wall from time to time, and more than a hundred private soldiers of the Mi family were stubbornly resisting on the wall.

At first glance, I saw a beautiful young girl standing with her hands behind her back in front of the gate of the dock, commanding the family soldiers to fight off the enemy.

"Don't stop, archer. My Mi family has plenty of arrows. Don't be stingy with them!"

"The enemy's ladders are coming up from the east again. Where are the forklift operators? Push them down!"

"Bring ten more baskets of flying rocks, and quickly!"

"Everyone, cheer up and drive back the bandits. Each of you will be rewarded with a thousand coins!"

The girl was calm and measured, and her clear voice contained a kind of majesty. Xiao Fang looked at the girl and his eyes lit up.

"It's my younger sister Mi Zhen. When my brother and I are not around, she is in charge of the Mi family!"

After Mi Fang explained briefly, he rushed forward and asked:

"Little sister, what's going on? Who is so bold as to offend my Mi family?"

Mi Zhen turned around and saw that it was her brother who had returned. A look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

"Brother, why are you back?"

"I'll explain it to you later. First, tell me, what's going on?"

Mi Fang pointed at the sounds of killing outside the wall and asked anxiously.

Mi Zhen then told the whole story.

It turned out to be the Langya hero Xu Sheng, who was leading hundreds of his fellow clan members and was going to take the sea route south to Jiangdong to join the little tyrant Sun Ce.

When passing by Haixi, thinking that the Mi family was rich enough to rival a country, he went ashore and boarded a ship to borrow 3,000 hu of grain and fodder.

"This Xu Sheng said he was borrowing money, but he was actually trying to blackmail me!"

"Three thousand hu of grain and grass is nothing to my Mi family, but my Mi family cannot be threatened or blackmailed. Naturally, I flatly refuse."

"Xu Sheng was furious and led his men to attack, intending to rob us!"

Mi Zhen's indignation was mixed with a bit of arrogance.

Everyone turned around and looked at Xiao Fang.

"Master Xiao is really amazing. You really got it right. It's not Lu Bu's troops, but they are coming from the sea!"

Mi Fang exclaimed in admiration, his face full of admiration.

Mi Zhen's bright eyes then fell on Xiao Fang, and a deep curiosity flashed in her eyes.

She couldn't help but wonder who this handsome young man came from, as it seemed that her brother admired him very much.

"Brother-in-law, I have heard of Xu Sheng."

"This man is from Ju County, Langya. It is said that he is very skilled in martial arts and has extraordinary courage. He can be called a bully in the village!"

Zhuge Liang told the details of this fellow from Langye.

How could Xiao Fang not know Xu Sheng's background?

This man, one of the Twelve Tiger Generals of Jiangdong, is more than just a martial arts expert and a courageous man.

Historically, Sun Quan ordered him to garrison Chaisang. With only 500 men, he repelled the attack of Huang Zu, which had ten times the number of troops.

Needless to say, he is a talented general.

The key point is that Xu Sheng is one of the few people with integrity among the Jiangdong rats.

When Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou and killed Guan Yu, Liu Bei led an entire nation's army to march east for revenge. Sun Quan was so frightened that he disregarded his dignity and pledged allegiance to Cao Pi.

Xing Zhen, the Wei envoy, was sent to Jiangdong. He was arrogant and domineering, and looked down upon the civil and military officials of Jiangdong. A group of so-called heroes of Jiangdong dared to be angry but not to speak out.

Only Xu Sheng dared to stand up and openly declare that Sun Quan's submission to Cao Pi and alliance with him was a great shame and humiliation!
"Such a brave, resourceful, and honest general should be very much to Old Liu's liking..."

Xiao Fang had already made up his mind.

At this time.

Wei Yan behind him took a step forward and said expressionlessly:
"Master Jinglue, do you want me to rush out and chop off Xu Sheng's dog head?"

Everyone was shocked and thought to themselves that he was really arrogant.

Jian Yong coughed a few times and advised:
"Brother Wenchang, we have all witnessed your martial arts skills."

"But I heard that Xu Sheng's martial arts are pretty good, and he's not comparable to Xu Dan."

"And there are at least four or five hundred bandits outside, and they are forming a battle array to attack the city, and their battle array is well-organized!"

"Brother Wenchang, even if you rush out, you may not be able to catch Xu Sheng off guard like you did Xu Dan."

Mi Fang nodded repeatedly and said cautiously:

"Xianhe's words make sense. In my opinion, it is best for us to unite our forces and defend the wall to the death."

"We have about 200 men in total, so it shouldn't be a problem to hold on."

It was obvious that everyone was still wary of Xu Sheng.

Wei Yan ignored everyone and stared at Xiao Fang, waiting for him to speak.

Xiao Fang twirled his chin with his fingertips, his eyes rolled around a few times, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"In that case, let's capture Xu Sheng alive."
