"How is her condition?" An Jingzhi asked after Shen Xianyi entered the room.
As she walked, she said, "The situation has stabilized." She walked over and sat next to An Jingzhi. She whispered, "Why did we come here?"
After Lou Sanma entrusted the silver and Xiao Huan to An Jing, they traveled all the way to the nearest Daliang Mansion.
The silver hidden by Lou Sanma was also secretly taken away by An Jingzhi, who sent his most trusted men Shi Ziming and Bian Tianlei.
Lou Sanma was seriously injured at the time, and the person closest to him was only An Jingzhi. He even leaned close to An Jingzhi's ear to whisper something, so no one else knew that Lou Sanma had hidden the silver.
An Jingzhi used the silver he had on him to recruit soldiers and escort them all the way to Daliang Prefecture. Otherwise, in the chaos of war, it might not have been so smooth.
He also distributed the extra silver to the men left to him by Lou Sanma. Those men had originally admired his loyalty, and now they were even more loyal to him.
When An Jingzhi arrived in Daliang Prefecture, he took the initiative to hand over the more than a thousand people he brought with him. Zhao Quansheng saw that he was so sensible and had taken the initiative to surrender with his troops, and also heard about his relationship with Lou Sanma, so he was quite polite to him.
A house was specially arranged for him to live in and a doctor was invited.
The concubine entrusted to An Jingzhi by Lou Sanma was lucky enough to survive until now. Her condition stabilized after being treated by a doctor.
City Lord's Mansion.
Zhao Quansheng is hosting a banquet for his brothers.
Zhao Quansheng was also a peasant rebel, and I wonder how much he still remembered about the original intention of the uprising.
"Brother," someone said drunkenly, "Who is An Jingzhi? Why did you give him such a nice house?"
When An Jingzhi led his troops to the city of Daliang, everyone thought it was an enemy attack. Fortunately, he had someone identify himself in advance.
"Yes, big brother, isn't it because he brought more than a thousand people here? Now that we have captured Daliang Prefecture, how many soldiers can we recruit? Why should we be so polite to him?"
Zhao Quansheng took a sip of wine, narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you know? His thousand men are nothing. What I care about is his reputation."
"Lou Sanma just took him in, but he was so loyal to Lou Sanma and saved him from danger twice. All of Lou Sanma's men are now following An Jingzhi. Go ask them, which one of them doesn't admire An Jingzhi?"
"What does it mean that someone with such a good reputation comes to me for help? It means that I, big brother, am also a man of great integrity and worthy of your support."
"After we take over Daliang Prefecture, things will be different now. We can no longer just do whatever we want. We need to have a good reputation."
Zhao Quansheng also took the opportunity of this banquet to confide his true feelings.
"This Daliang Prefecture is our own territory. We can't just rob the people. Otherwise, who will listen to us? If we rob and kill all the people in Daliang Prefecture, what will we use to fight the war?"
One of the drunken men said, "Brother, what does it matter? There are so many people in the world anyway. If we lose them all, we can just catch some more."
"Fool." Zhao Quansheng scolded with a smile: "Don't we have to spend our own food to feed the captured people? We should let the people of Daliang Prefecture feed themselves, and then we can collect some taxes. Daliang Prefecture will be our foundation from now on."
After half a month of drinking, Zhao Quansheng was a little dazed. "You should be more polite to An Jingzhi from now on. After all, he brought so many people to join us. I dispersed him and he didn't say anything. If I treat him harshly, who will dare to join us in the future?"
"Brother, I didn't know this before, but after a few years of fighting, I finally understood. It's not enough to be a good fighter, you have to be both a good fighter and famous. Look at the founding emperors who successfully led uprisings in history books. Which one didn't have a good reputation?"
"Tsk, they all like to flatter themselves. If they can flatter, so can I!"
"Whatever Big Brother says is what it is."
"Yes. Big Brother, we will listen to you. We respect people who are loyal to us the most."
After arriving at Daliang Mansion, Chen Dan was extremely happy. His son-in-law had a way. All the money he had given away was returned, and he gained even more.
Now the son-in-law has gained both fame and profit. Although these thousand men are fewer than in the previous life, they seem to have gained more trust from Zhao Quansheng.
A thousand people are neither too many nor too few, and letting them in won't cause much of a splash, not to mention breaking them up and making arrangements.
These are the numbers that An Jingzhi deliberately controlled. Anyway, he is not fighting now and has accumulated a good reputation. With these cannon fodder in the front, he is just waiting for them to be wiped out and then take advantage.
When he defected to Zhao Quansheng, the other party actually pretended to be polite and let An Jingzhi continue to lead the team.
An Jingzhi declined directly, saying that he had no ability to lead troops. Even the men that Lou Sanma had left for him were given away by An Jingzhi.
If these people are not allowed to go out, how can he spread An Jingzhi's good reputation?
An Jingzhi, who has a good reputation but cannot lead troops in battle, is of the greatest benefit to Zhao Quansheng.
"Son-in-law, should we give some silver to Zhao Quansheng?"
In his previous life, he was stingy and unwilling to give money, so he was able to hold on for so long. This time, he strongly supported the cause, and his wealth has shrunk by one third, but he does not feel sorry at all.
The money given out will eventually be earned by the son-in-law anyway, so what's there to be afraid of?
"Zhao Quansheng has a good reputation, so the more silver he gets, the better. But we have already given him more than a thousand men, so we don't need to give him more silver, so that he won't think we have more." An Jingzhi said.
Chen Dan nodded, naturally he would do whatever his good son-in-law said.
He asked about another matter, "Zhao Quansheng's men invited us to drink, do you want to go?"
