Fan Ru's soldiers were still more than twenty miles away from Xiliang, and Han Xiu had been waiting here with Fan Xu for a long time.

Seeing Fan Xu at a glance, Fan Ru was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

"Why am I here?"

Fan Xu and Han Xiu both knelt in front of the car.

"Uncle Fan has worked hard from afar, but I can temporarily place the people here, follow the little nephew into the city, and ask my virtuous brother to explain the old man in detail." Han Xiu said.

Fan Ru got out of the car and helped Han Xiu up first, but he still looked suspicious. Soon, though, he seemed to understand eight or nine points.

Not long after returning to Xilianghou Mansion, Fan Ru already knew the ins and outs of the matter.

Fan Ru slapped the table.

"When General Ben raised his army, he originally had some scruples, worried that my son would be harmed by Sima Yan's wife, but today, since my son has come to Xiliang, the old man has nothing to worry about." Fan Ru said excitedly, but he still had some concerns, so he asked Han Xiu, "How many soldiers are there in Xiliang, virtuous nephew?" ”

"The little nephew has been here for many years, and the people he relies on are all subordinates of his former father before his death, and later he also recruited some on his own, and there are no less than 100,000 people in the three armies of Mabu, and no less than 300,000 bows and arrows. Han Xiu replied.

Fan Ru nodded.

"The old man still has 30,000 horses left in Qingzhou, and he can also be mobilized here if necessary. However......" Fan Ru suddenly changed his words, "Most of my subordinates are still Cao Wei's former ministers, once they confront Sima Yan's men, I'm afraid that many people will surrender in the battle." Therefore, it is still necessary to be cautious in the matter of sending troops, and now, it is only necessary to drill men and horses day and night, and issue Sima Yan's guilt to arouse the anger of the officers and men of the three armies. When the army is raised, it is necessary to draft a document to fight against the rebellion and announce it to the world, so as to win the trust of the people, so as to achieve great things. ”

"The old man sees the same as the little nephew." Han Xiu praised.

Fan Ru omitted the real purpose of his visit.

"Since the virtuous nephew has such ambitions, the old man must do his best to help him." Fan Ru added.

Not long after, a grand banquet was lined up in the Xiliang Marquis' Mansion, and Han Xiu not only wanted to entertain Fan Ru's father and son, but also invited a few confidant warriors to sit with him, but he deliberately left Sima Banru.

These warriors were all generals of Han Sui during his lifetime, and they were loyal to the Han family, although they were all a little old, but their loyalty and courage were still not inferior to the young people.

Until the bright moon is in the sky, this feast is gone.

"The old lady is camping twenty miles away, and she needs to go back to the camp tonight to settle down. Tomorrow morning, the old man will hold a banquet in the camp and invite the virtuous nephew and the generals. Fan Ru said to Han Xiu and several warriors.

"Uncle has worked hard, tomorrow the little nephew will definitely go on time." Han Xiu said.

Fan Ru arched his hand and beckoned to Fan Xu: "My son still needs to go back to the camp with me, and tomorrow he will return to Qingzhou to mobilize the rest of the people to come here to help." ”

"The little nephew sends the old man." Han Xiu was already drunk and hazy, and kept arching his hand to Fan Ru.

Fan Ru left with Fan Xu.

After sending everyone away, Han Xiu sat on the chair, still immersed in the excitement just now.

Suddenly, he jumped up, and he remembered that there was another great event waiting for him, that is, Wang Yuelan was still waiting for him to give an "explanation" of the cause of Han Meng's death.

Sure enough, there were still candles lit in Wang Yuelan's house, but the candles were extinguished not long after Han Xiu entered.

The maid Bi'er pursed her lips and went back to the house to rest.

Another level of yard:

Sima Banru hadn't slept yet, this guy was like a dog anxious to go outside to find food, walking around the yard with his hands behind his back.

Fan Ru's camp:

Fan Ru and Fan Xu returned to the camp, Fan Ru did not say anything to Fan Xu, but asked him to rest early, and he took two guards to other camps.

Fan Xu also drank a little too much and soon fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already the dawn of the next day, and from time to time there was the sound of the footsteps of soldiers and the sound of dragging heavy objects outside the big tent.

A warrior lifted the curtain and looked inside, and found that Fan Xu had woken up, so he walked in.

"Old General Fan has an order, the major general is not allowed to go out of the camp tent today, and after he has dealt with everything, he will come to meet with the young general." The samurai said, then adding, "If the major general has orders, let the villain do it." ”

"Didn't my father say that he wanted me to go back to Qingzhou today to mobilize people?" Fan Xu asked.

"This, the villain doesn't know." The samurai replied.

"So, did General Han Xiu bring someone to the banquet?"

"It's not here yet."

"Maybe my father still has to discuss the specific steps with Brother Han, or okay, I'll wait for news here." Fan Xu didn't think much about it and sat back in his chair.

Han Xiu really came with someone.

Today's Han Xiu is even more radiant than yesterday, not only because he has been "embraced" by everyone and feels that the big thing has been half successful, but also because he finally won Wang Yuelan.

Outside the camp, a neatly dressed samurai with a dozen soldiers greeted him.

"The villain is the adjutant general next to General Fan, and he was ordered to greet General Han here." The warrior dismounted and said, "Old General Fan has already set up the wine and food in the big tent of the Chinese army, waiting for everyone to arrive. ”

"There's General Law." Han Xiu said politely.

The samurai led a few men to the large tent of the Chinese army, which was set up in the middle of the many tents.

The crowd dismounted.

A soldier poked his head out of the big tent and glanced at Han Xiu and the others.

"General Fan has an order, first invite General Han Xiu into the tent, discuss important matters, and after the discussion is completed, invite all the generals into the banquet."

"It's fine." Han Xiu was about to go inside as he spoke, but was pulled by a person beside him.

"The villain looks at the big tent and has a different layout, and there seem to be many soldiers in the other tents. General Han and General Fan Ru have not seen each other for many years, and they need to beware of fraud. ”

Han Xiu shook his head again and again.

"My father and General Fan are close friends, how can I be selfish when I raise troops to help me this time? Don't doubt it, general, you are waiting here. With that, he pushed away the samurai's hand and strode in.

As soon as he entered the big tent, Han Xiu felt that something was wrong.

There was no shadow of Fan Ru in the big tent, but there were four warriors with sharp swords, and when he entered, they quickly surrounded him, and the four long swords were directly against his body.

"Traitor, how can you dare to rebel?" One of the samurai shouted, "Why don't you take it yet? ”

"Y-Who are you? Where is Uncle Fan now? Han Xiu said in shock.

"My old general Fan is an important minister of the imperial court and a confidant of the King of Jin, how can he be in the same league with a rebellious person like you, and this time he was ordered to come to get you." The samurai replied with a sneer.

Only then did Han Xiu realize that he had really fallen for Fan Ru.

"Where is Brother Fan Xuxian?"

"The major general can't save you." As he spoke, the warrior flew up and kicked Han Xiu in the lower abdomen.

Han Xiu was in unbearable pain and covered his stomach.

The four men took the opportunity to pounce and quickly tied his hands and feet.

"Han Xiu has been captured, and the generals have laid down their weapons to spare your lives." A samurai lifted the curtain and shouted outside.

As the sound landed, the soldiers who were ambushed in several other camp tents came out in response, and immediately surrounded the few people who followed Han Xiu.
