Tao Qian Offers Xuzhou, Long Chen Politely Accepts
But the more Mi Zhu thought about it, the more his eyes shone with excitement when Tao Qian mentioned giving Xuzhou to Long Chen.
Oh, my! Such a great opportunity, quickly agree to it!
However, Long Chen’s response greatly disappointed him.
On second thought, perhaps Long Chen was simply too righteous to do something that might tarnish his reputation.
This was exactly the time for Mi Zhu to play his role.
As long as he persuaded Long Chen and made him understand that taking Xuzhou would benefit the people, how could he refuse?
Mi Zhu smiled smugly to himself and then bowed deeply to Long Chen, speaking earnestly:
"Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, the Eight Directions and Four Seas are in chaos, and bandits and rebels are rising everywhere."
"The world is already in great turmoil, and the emperor is young and humiliated. Fortunately, Long Hou is loyal to the emperor and the nation, personally leading the army to bring the emperor back."
