"Damn Wang Ce!" Zhao Quansheng's face was as dark as ink.
The brothers he called to discuss the matter remained silent.
"This bastard is driving so many refugees here. He's trying to force us!"
"Brother, our food supply is not enough to save so many refugees. What should we do now?"
Zhao Quansheng said impatiently: "If I knew, would I still come to you?"
His good reputation did not last long as it was destroyed by another rebel group led by Wang Ce.
Zhao Quansheng gained a lot of good reputation by providing relief to disaster victims, so the other party simply drove all the disaster victims to his side, and more and more disaster victims flowed to Daliang Prefecture.
It has long exceeded Zhao Quansheng's relief capacity.
If the number of people was as he imagined, the food would indeed be able to last that long. But how could Wang Ce, who was also a rebel, let him go so easily?
An Jingzhi knew about Wang Ce's expulsion of refugees from the original owner's memory, and it was confirmed by Shi Ziming and Bian Tianlei.
"Brother, there are more and more refugees gathered at the city gate. What should we do?"
"Who knows, there might be spies planted by Wang Ce among these people. If he encourages these refugees to charge the city, we might be in trouble."
Zhao Quansheng became more and more upset. If he drove away the people in advance, everything he had done before would be in vain, and the refugees he had recruited into his team would probably no longer be so loyal to him.
"Hey, if I had known earlier, I would have listened to Brother An and stopped earlier."
The person who was speaking was nudged by the elbow of the person next to him. The person looked at Zhao Quansheng's face and immediately fell silent.
Zhao Quansheng also regretted that if he had listened to An Jingzhi and stopped earlier, he would have gained fame and would not have been trapped by Wang Ce.
"Brother, didn't Brother An see the problem a long time ago? How about we send someone to call him? See if he has any good ideas?"
Zhao Quansheng refused, "No!" An Jingzhi came to see him several times, and except for the first time they met, he found an excuse to drive him away.
Now that he's in trouble, how can he have the nerve to bring people over?
Why did he call the man over to tell him that he shouldn't have ignored his advice?
"Brother An doesn't know anything about military affairs. Bringing him here will only cause him more trouble. Forget it, all of you go down. I'll think about it myself."
…
Following An Jingzhi's instructions, Ke Hongda has been paying attention to the situation in Daliang Prefecture.
He first reported the problem of the number of refugees to An Jingzhi. After seeing soldiers driving away the refugees, he hurried back to report.
"Brother, you are truly amazing! Zhao Quansheng actually sent troops to drive out the refugees. Some people refused to leave, and they even killed them."
Ke Hongdao said: "What Zhao Quansheng did before was in vain. No matter how thin the porridge is, it is still made from grain."
An Jingzhi had expected this a long time ago, and he was also sure that Zhao Quansheng would not be so embarrassed as to ask him to come over for advice.
He himself was an insurgent who came from a peasant family. He had finally made it to where he was today, with a reputation and soldiers. For him, besides his life, face was the most important thing.
Zhao Quansheng's reputation is ruined, even worse than before.
Before, he just led his troops to rob everywhere, but who wouldn't rob the rebels? Not to mention the rebels, the officers and soldiers even robbed more fiercely than them.
Anyway, everyone is bad, so no one should criticize anyone else.
But now it’s different. People provide porridge and disaster relief just to gain a good reputation. Many refugees and small forces rush to Zhao Quansheng for his good reputation.
Now Zhao Quansheng raised his butcher knife against these refugees, destroying all the reputation he had accumulated before.
Even those small forces that came to him because of his fame have become disloyal, and some have even secretly escaped with their men.
Zhao Quansheng was so angry that he smashed cups and cursed at people at home every day.
At the same time, he felt regretful. An Jingzhi came so many times, and if he had listened to him once, he would not have ended up like this.
But there were also some complaints. An Jingzhi clearly knew that something might go wrong, so why didn't he persuade him more?
Moreover, An Jingzhi hasn't visited him since the refugees were driven out. Is he laughing at him behind his back?
"What invitation?"
After a fit of rage, his soldiers brought him an invitation.
"It was sent by An Jingzhi. I heard that several other generals also received it."
Zhao Quansheng's expression flickered. He held the invitation in his right hand and waved his hand to let the soldiers go.
Why invite all these people over for no reason? Are you tired of seeing so many jokes and want to mock them in person?
But he also felt that An Jingzhi should not be such a reckless person.
The day of the banquet.
Zhao Quansheng was on time and arrived last.
After asking his brothers and hearing his opinion, they all came to the appointment.
"Brother Zhao."
Seeing Zhao Quansheng, An Jingzhi immediately apologized to the people around him and greeted him warmly.
Zhao Quansheng awkwardly handed over the gift in his hand, "Brother An."
An Jingzhi took it and said politely, "Brother Zhao, you are so polite. You are here, so why would you give me a gift? Come in, come in. All the brothers are here, except for Brother Zhao."
Zhao Quansheng was pulled down by An Jingzhi and sat down on the seat.
"Brother Zhao, let me toast you first."
Zhao Quansheng was a little confused. He only heard An Jingzhi say, "Brother Lou's wife was able to save a fish thanks to the doctor you arranged for her."
"Brother Lou entrusted his wife to me. If I fail to save her, I don't know how I will face Brother Lou after I go down."
"As for the men that Brother Lou gave me, except for some recruited on the road for safety reasons, the rest are all the brothers that Brother Lou trusts the most."
