Subconsciously, he wanted to agree to the other party's request.

Because back in Liangzhou, Fan Chou had seen not one thousand, but eight hundred people who would bring their family's private soldiers to join them at every turn.

It is actually a very common thing to seek refuge with a large warlord in troubled times and seek a career.

……

And the most important thing is that now they are in a critical period of guarding Hedong alone. If the other party can come to help them, or give them some advice, this is not insignificant to Fan Chou and others.

……

Of course, the same, it is precisely because it is now a critical period when Fan Chou is ordered to guard the east of the river, so he hastily opened the door to accept the refuge of an unknown army... This is extremely risky.

After weighing the pros and cons of the two, Fan Chou couldn't help hesitating for a while.

……

Chapter 40 The Art of the Inside Ghost

It would definitely not work to rashly include more than 5000 people like Yang Feng.

Now is a sensitive period. If the other party has any relationship with the princes from the Kanto, if they attack the city, it will have a great impact on Fan Chou's defense.

And if these more than 5000 people are left outside like this...

Fan Chou felt that something was not appropriate.

First of all, these people are all from the local Yang family. The Hedong family is connected with each other, and I have neglected these people from the Yang family who came to work for me. Then the other families in Hedong County, especially Anyi Things hurt their kind, so it is inevitable that they will not feel resentment towards Fan Chou.

Secondly, even without these twists and turns between the aristocratic families, Fan Chou really lacks someone who can make up his mind for him.

Strictly speaking, he and Li Su were not suitable for making suggestions. Now facing the attack of the Kwantung Allied Forces, it must be a lie to say that Fan Chou has no psychological pressure at all.

Everyone understands the principle of gathering armpits and forming furs. Maybe with this army of soldiers from a family from a local family in Hedong, it will be much easier for him to defend the city in the future?

It has long been heard that these aristocratic families in the Central Plains have always attached great importance to poetry and etiquette, so since this Yang Feng is a son of the Yang family...in this respect, he will always be better than him and Li Su, right?

Thinking of this, Fan Chou actually had some conclusions in his heart.

Just because of his status, he couldn't directly order that Yang Feng and others be put into the city.

After turning his eyes slightly for a moment, he set his sights on Li Su beside him.

Isn't this one of his own deputy? At this time, if the other party offers to let people in, and he pushes the boat along... Even if this decision really leads to the fall of Anyi in the future, in front of Dong Zhuo, he, Fan Chou, can explain it clearly.

If you want to blame, you can blame Li Su for recommending him to open the door and let people go. This whole matter has nothing to do with him, Mr. Fan.

……

"Ten thousand years later, this is you?"

……

On the side, seeing Fan Chou looking at him suddenly, Li Su was a little puzzled for a while, so he asked a casual question.

And that Fan Chou, of course, even his old face was almost wrinkled from laughter:

"Brother, now there are aristocratic families outside the city who have come to serve with troops, what do you think we should do?"

After just one glance, Li Su understood what Fan Chou meant.

At the same time, a slight resentment grew in his heart towards Fan Chou's "inaction".

……

"Wannianhou, this matter is of great importance. I am just a lieutenant general in the army, so I really don't want to judge rashly."

"You are the commander-in-chief of this army. Please make your own choice. You will definitely follow orders."

……

It was just a light sentence, and Li Su turned Fan Chou's thoughts back, and at the same time, he ordered Fan Chou overtly and secretly:

He, Fan Chou, is Dong Zhuo's designated army commander, and he wants to leave the risk of making a wrong decision to Li Su... I can only say that you, Fan Chou, are really thinking too much.

He can swear that he will never take the initiative to be fooled by Fan Cong and come to be Fan Cong's emissary.

……

It's just a pity that although Li Su had already felt a bit of resentment towards Fan Chou deep in his heart, his character was still a little weak after all.

After saying something, Li Su, who felt deeply that his words were too serious, couldn't help but say a word to Fan Chou in front of him:

"If you really can't make up your mind in ten thousand years, then in my humble opinion, you might as well ask the aristocratic family in Hedong County for their opinion on this matter."

"The families of Hedong County have known each other for a long time, and they must be more familiar with Yang Feng's situation than we are."

……

"Just like the Wei family in this city..."

"Didn't you say last time that the Wei family took the initiative to show favor to you in order to protect themselves?"

"Since the other party has already expressed favor to you, it's better to call the Patriarch of the Wei family here to inquire about it than the two of us guessing here?"

……

I have to say, Li Su's words sound reasonable at first glance.

Coupled with the fact that Fan Chou had just been slapped by Li Su at this moment, it was an embarrassing time, and when he heard Li Su's last half of the suggestion, he rescued himself in disguise, and the trust in his heart was already three points more than usual.

……

"Yes, yes, exactly!"

"This method is wonderful!"

Sure enough, after hearing Li Su mention that he could ask the local family, Fan Chou immediately became excited.

"Thinking about us being the frontrunners, the aristocratic family in the city is weak, so they definitely wouldn't dare to hide anything from us."

"Hurry up, go and call the head of the Wei family in the city, and tell him that the general has something to ask him!"

Hastily greeted outside the door, Fan Chou didn't care that Yang Feng was waiting outside the city at this time, and immediately sent someone to go to the largest family in the city, which is the mansion of the Hedong Wei family, and drag Wei Bocuo, the head of the Wei family, from his home come over.

……

"Ah... ah! Wait, slow down!"

"Little generals, I don't know why General Fan called me here in such a hurry."

……

In the mansion of the Wei family, Wei Ji was still discussing with several elders at home about the recent turmoil of the Hedong Allied Forces, but was inexplicably arrested by several soldiers from the Wei mansion.

Reminiscent of the sudden appearance of a strange army outside the city that he had just heard from the servants at home, Wei Jiao immediately became more aware, and whispered a question to the soldiers who "escorted" him in advance.

Calling himself over in such a hurry... Could it be related to the army outside the city?

Wei Ke secretly thought in his heart.

……

"This...Patriarch Wei, don't ask, just follow us."

"What's going on, we brothers are not qualified to know, so General Fan told us to bring you to the mansion quickly and discuss something important with you."

……

Because the Wei family has always been generous, Dong Zhuo's army stationed in Anyi county sent some wine, meat and property into the camp to reward the soldiers from time to time. After coming and going, the reputation of Wei Jiawei spread among Dong Zhuo's army.

Not only the low-level soldiers like them, but even the low-level generals who actually led the army were more courteous to the old man Wei Ke.

Hearing Wei Ke's question now, the soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army suddenly explained something to him with embarrassing expressions.

……

"Is there something important to discuss?"

After hearing the words of several soldiers, Wei Ke frowned immediately, and then said softly:

"Didn't General Fan say anything important?"

……

"Hehe, we really don't know about this..."

Not far from him, among the few soldiers, the one closest to him shook his head.

But soon, some of them tentatively whispered:

"However, Patriarch Wei, brother, I heard from a friend who works in the general's mansion that it seems to have something to do with the army that suddenly appeared outside the city... probably because they don't know the origin of the other party, so I asked you to go and understand the situation."

This is a guy with a thin body and a mischievous facial features.

After saying this sentence beside Wei Ke, he lowered his head and didn't say anything more.

With these two sentences, Wei Ji recognized this person—it was a small guard in Dong Zhuo's army who was in charge of guarding the camp when he rewarded Dong Zhuo's army with wine, meat and money.

That night, Wei Ji specially left a lot of property for the little guard. No wonder the other party reciprocated and helped him find out a lot of news.

……

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, and several people came from Wei's mansion to the current general's mansion.

Wei Ji had just stepped into the mansion with his front foot, when several people hurriedly led him into the depths of the mansion.

In that room, what was waiting for him were two tall and burly men who looked like they were dressed as generals.

……

"Hedong Wei's family... Wei Ji, I have seen the two generals."

"I don't know what the two generals called me here today?"

……

As soon as they had a face-to-face meeting, Wei Ji took the initiative to speak and greeted the other two.

And the taller one among the two had been pacing back and forth in the room until he saw Wei Ji.

It wasn't until he saw Wei Ke approaching that he hurried to Wei Ke's side as if he had seen a treasure:

"You are the Patriarch of the Wei Family?"

"Sit down, I have something to ask you!"
