Xia Pi City, in the Palace Palace.

From the day before yesterday, the owner of the provincial capital mansion no longer had a surname Tao, but Chen. After moving the Tao family's thirty-six people out of the provincial capital mansion, Chen Deng found a house outside the city. Although the house was far inferior to that of the provincial capital mansion, there were so many people living there. There were some wastelands outside the courtyard that could be reclaimed, and some food and vegetables could be self-sufficient. Mrs. Tao left Xia Pi City with great gratitude, but she didn't stay for a moment.

Chen Gui appointed his son Chen Deng as a deputy to Xuzhou to assist him in handling military and political affairs in Xuzhou. The father and son still lived in their own houses, but only went to work in the provincial governor's office during the day.

At this moment, Chen Gui, who had just become a member of the country, looked no more joyful, but he frowned and was wandering around in the study with his hands in his arms. Chen Deng sat aside in silence, his face turned pale and he didn't say a word.

After a while, Chen Gui finally stopped and looked at Chen Deng and said, "Deng'er~~ I'm in a state of confusion for my father, please give me some advice~~"

Chen Deng was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect Fatty Mi to keep this forever, but we don't have to worry. Now Zhang Kai has used it for us. His three thousand soldiers are all elite. With the five thousand troops of Du Feng, the commander of Xia Pi City, it is enough to deal with it."

Chen Gui's eyes flashed with a fierce light and said in a deep voice: "That's all. Yuan Shu's army is approaching, and we have another 10,000 East China Sea soldiers! This Mi Fang is so brave that he dares to take the blame. I think if he doesn't give him some color this time, how can we order the military and civilians of Xuzhou in the future?"

Chen Deng stood up and said, "If my father agrees, I will gather Zhang Kai and Du Feng now. According to my father's opinion, we will gather all our people and teach the arrogant Mi Fang a lesson!"

Chen Gui asked with some concern: "Deng'er, Cao Bao is the most elite mobile unit in Xuzhou. He was promoted by Tao Gongzu. Do you think... will he take revenge on us after he gets Tao Gongzu's death?"

Chen Deng looked relieved and replied, "Don't worry, my father, I have always had relationships with Cao Bao. In my judgment, Cao Bao seemed loyal, but in fact he was a person who likes to take advantage of the situation. He always likes Tao Gongzu, so he has to keep getting promoted. Now Tao Gongzu is dead, but we are the ones who control the power of Xuzhou. Even if he has doubts about Tao Gongzu's death, he will definitely not offend us for those orphans and widows. I don't expect that the letters of his loyalty will be sent back tomorrow."

"Oh~~If that would be great~~" Chen Gui was obviously still lacking confidence. He waved his hand and said, "Deng'er, the most important thing in front of him is to drive away Mi Fang quickly and leave it to you to take responsibility. You... also need to pay attention to safety..."

Chen Deng's handsome face also had some murderous aura at this moment. He said fiercely: "Don't worry, Father, I will send someone to confiscate Fatty Mi's house first, take his old nest, and then lead troops to defeat Mi Fang, and come to see him with his head!"

At this moment, the man Mi Fang, who was extremely hated by the Chen father and son, had already brought 10,000 Donghai soldiers to Xiapi City, and chose an open place in the west of the city to build a camp. The equipment of a unit can be seen from the scale of the camp alone. The East China Sea is close to the seashore, with abundant fishery and salt mines, so the government's taxes are quite abundant and there is still extra money to equip the troops.

The camp established by Mi Zhu's troops is very large in scale. A cowhide tent is arranged neatly. The weapons outside the tent are all set together, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, and the sharp parts are polished and shining. There are piles of feathered arrows placed next to it. The war horses are leisurely eating the fodder under the care of the groom...

If the army can be divided from the rich and the poor, Mi Fang's men are undoubtedly a wealthy family.

In the camp's central army tent, Mi Fang took off her armor and was wearing only a light robe. She sat upright in front of the Shuai Case, holding a sharp knife in her hand, eating and drinking with a sip of wine and meat. On the camp, a large basin of boiled beef was steaming, and a jar of strong wine had also opened the sealing mud.

As the son of the Mi family, a wealthy family in Xuzhou, Mi Fang, who has been used to enjoying since childhood, naturally likes to live a life of luxury. Although he is still very particular in the military, at least, there must be wine and meat for each meal, which is also something that Mi Fang's subordinates need to remember, otherwise it will lead to Mi Fang's scolding.

Although he was a rich young man, Mi Fang did not have the slightest elegance. His limbs were thick, his face was dark, and his facial features were stubbornly separated, making people feel dizzy when they saw it.

Since receiving the urgent letter from his elder brother Mi Zhu, Mi Fang quickly ignited his troops and rushed over, without delaying the journey. However, when he arrived at Xia Pi City, the defenders in the city refused to let him enter the city, and said that this was the meaning of the new Xuzhou Prefecture Lord Chen.

Mi Fang hurriedly sent people to mingle in the city and got the exact news. Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, had already died of illness. In his will, he gave Chen Gui the prefect of Xia Pi, the court, to serve as the governor of Xuzhou. Before the court formally ordered it, Chen Gui temporarily took over the affairs of the prefecture and was in charge of Xuzhou's military and political affairs.

At this time, Mi Fang understood no matter how stupid Tao Qian died, even if his elder brother Mi Zhu was in vain. The Chen family must have hated them to the core, and it will be difficult to live in peace from now on. Now Chen Gui has already occupied the position of governor of the state. Will the ten thousand East China Sea soldiers he brought dare to surrender?

After years of being in the officialdom, Mi Fang's eyes turned around and the entire army set up camp outside the city. Then he sent his confidants to the city to tell Chen Gui that Lord Tao Qian's death was quite strange, and he suspected that someone had poisoned him. In order to calm everyone's heart, he hoped that the coffin could be opened and the autopsy could be examined.

Chen Gui had a ghost in his heart, so he naturally refused. Mi Fang took advantage of the situation to raise the banner of "avenging the governor of the state", threatening to ask Chen Gui, and Chen Deng and his son came to the camp with both hands to apologize, otherwise they would attack Xia Pi City.

For a moment, the military and civilians inside and outside Xiapi City were panicked. After several years of stability, they were facing war again and found that they could no longer react quickly. Many people were like headless flies. Some people who were already dissatisfied with the Chen family took the opportunity to jump out or stir up behind their backs, and some people secretly began to contact Mi Fang. Suddenly, there was an undercurrent in Xiapi City.

The power that Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son just obtained was met with a powerful challenge.

When Mi Fang was having a happy meal, she suddenly heard a faint sound of drums outside the camp, and a personal soldier came to report: "General, there is an enemy outside the camp to challenge!"

"Oh~~" Mi Fang swallowed the beef in her mouth and asked, "Who is coming?"

The personal soldier replied: "The person who came claimed to be Zhang Kai from Danyang."
