Zhang Xiu hurriedly saluted and said: "Uncle has a great favor to his nephew, and it is unforgettable. Over the years, Zhang Ji's trust in him has been seen in his eyes, and even in the appointment of some generals in the army, Zhang Ji has no doubt about him, under Zhang Ji's command, Zhang Xiu's prestige is higher than that of Zhang Ji.

"Don't worry, General Fan's uncle will come to persuade you." A fierce color flashed in Zhang Ji's eyes.

It was late at night, but Fan Chou couldn't sleep for a long time, the news brought by Zhang Xiu made him feel critical, especially after hearing that Zhang Xiu had taken refuge in Lu Bu, a faint uneasiness lingered in his heart, who Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu were, he knew very well that if Zhang Xiu chose to take refuge in Lu Bu, then Zhang Ji would have the same choice, so that his situation in the city would become more critical.

"General, General Zhang is here."

The guard's voice disrupted Fan Chou's thoughts, and he asked in a low voice, "But Zhang Ji came alone?" ”

Seeing the guards nodding, Fan Chou said, "Let General Zhang wait, General Ben will arrive later." ”

"I don't know what happened when General Zhang came late at night?" Fan Chou wondered.

Zhang Ji smiled: "It's for the general's net worth." "Also a general under Dong Zhuo, Zhang Ji still has a certain understanding of Fan Chou, in terms of martial arts, Fan Chou is not as good as him, but in terms of wisdom, Fan Chou is outstanding.

"What do you mean by that?" Fan Chou showed a look of vigilance.

"General Fan, to tell you the truth, this general has chosen to take refuge in the Marquis of Jin, if the general does not take refuge in the Marquis of Jin, where should he go? If the general chooses to leave, the general will definitely not be embarrassed, but how many soldiers and horses are still in the hands of the general? Even after arriving in Chang'an, what should I do? It is still a traitor, as far as the general knows, the Marquis of Jin is a person who is a man of his word, and there is absolutely no reason to regret what he says, and the situation in Gaoling City, presumably General Fan has seen it clearly, if the state army surrounds Gaoling, how does General Fan defend the city, do you have to rely on reinforcements from Chang'an? Based on General Fan's understanding of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, would they send reinforcements at such a time? ”

The successive questions made Fan Chou hang his head weakly, how could he not understand his own embarrassment, when the defenders did not have enough defensive strength in the face of the enemy, how far away from defeat was, even if they bargained with the enemy, they did not have much confidence.

"Could it be that General Zhang willingly surrendered to the Marquis of Jin and then sank in the Bingzhou army?" Fan Chou wondered.

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "General Fan is too worried, as Youwei said, what is needed in the Bingzhou army is capable people, does General Fan think that his ability is not enough?" In terms of martial arts, General Fan may not be as good as the fierce generals in the Bingzhou army, but in terms of resourcefulness, General Fan is not weak, what kind of generals an army really needs, presumably General Fan knows it very well. ”

A fine light flashed in Fan Chou's eyes, after listening to Zhang Xiu's explanation before, he had been thinking about martial arts, after all, Lu Bu's most powerful thing was martial arts, and he must have very strict requirements for the generals under his command in terms of martial arts, but he ignored the problem of the generals' resourcefulness.

Most of the military generals in this era were illiterate, but Fan Chou had read military books, and this alone was beyond the reach of many generals in the army.

"General Zhang, you and I had many misunderstandings before, and I also hope that in the Bingzhou Army, you and I can get back together." Fan Chou said in a sincere tone.

When Zhang Ji heard this, he was overjoyed, Fan Chou's words had already indicated that he would choose to take refuge in Lu Bu, "General Fan is too worried, in the future, you and I will be generals under the command of the Marquis of Jin, and we should work together, and let him pass the past grievances." ”

"Thank you, General Zhang." Fan Chou hugged his fist, the reason why he compromised with Zhang Ji was that he saw the situation in the city clearly, if he didn't take refuge in Lu Bu, there was no other way out, and second, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu both chose to take refuge, if he didn't take refuge, it would be dangerous, and Zhang Xiu's martial arts were strong, and this time he was sent to the city to persuade the Marquis of Jin, which shows that Zhang Xiu has a certain status in Lu Bu's heart, and it is very necessary to make friends with Zhang Ji, and a news revealed by Zhang Xiu today is very important, that is, Zhang Xiu's junior brother Zhao Yun is the sworn brother of the Marquis of Jin.

For Zhao Yun, Fan Chou is no stranger, that is the original defender of Hedong, and he has won the trust of Lu Buzhi.

"If the Marquis of Jin knew General Fan's choice, he would definitely be overjoyed, and there are more rules in the state army, and I hope that General Zhang can restrain his soldiers so that nothing goes wrong at that time." Zhang Ji admonished.

Fan Chou said: "Although General Zhang can rest assured, General Ben has no other skills, and the soldiers under his command still obey General Ben's orders." ”

The next day, the generals of Zhang Ji and Fan Chou gathered in one place.

Zhang Ji glanced around at everyone and said slowly: "You were originally a Han soldier, but under the bewitchment of Li Dao and Guo Yan, you became a traitor who everyone shouted and beat, and now the Marquis of Jin led the Bingzhou army outside the city, and Gaoling City is also in danger under the attack of the Bingzhou army." ”

After seeing that everyone did not refute, Zhang Ji continued: "After discussing with General Fan, General Ben decided to open the city gate to welcome the Marquis of Jin into the city, and from then on, you will be the soldiers under the command of the Marquis of Jin. ”

As soon as the words fell, the generals in the hall suddenly discussed, the last moment they were still enemies of life and death, and in the blink of an eye, they became generals under the command of the Marquis of Jin, which always gave people an incredible feeling.

"General Zhang, General Fan, the Marquis of Jin is brutal, don't fall for the Marquis of Jin, how many families are ruined in the hands of the Marquis of Jin, as long as General Li and General Guo send reinforcements to come, it will not be difficult to hold Gaoling." One of the generals stood up.

Fan Chou saw that it was the general under his command, his face showed displeasure, and he snorted coldly: "Come on, pull this person out and behead him, this person is Li Wei's eyes and ears beside General Ben." ”

The general's face kept changing, he was indeed Li Wei's cronies, but he thought that he was well hidden in the army, how did Fan Chou find out, if Zhang Ji and Fan Chou took refuge in Lu Bu, it would be a huge crisis for Li Dao.

"If General Fan kills the lowly position, isn't he afraid that the generals in the army will be cold?" The general is still making the last effort, but in exchange for Fan Chou's impatient wave of his hand, this general thinks he is doing very hidden, in fact, he has long been discovered by Fan Chou, but he has not cleaned him up, and now this person is openly refuting himself on such an important occasion, making Fan Chou feel that he has lost face, so he naturally will not give up like this.

In the past, Fan Chou might have looked at Li Dao's face and not embarrassed this person, but now after deciding to take refuge in the Marquis of Jin, Li Dao is the enemy standing on the opposite side. Killing this person is also a sign of will.
