Zhuangzi is not far from Su family fortress. The Su family is a local big family. Not only has good ethnic education, but also often protects some surrounding villagers.

Therefore, the surrounding villages are centered on the Su family fortress, and they are very close to the Su family members.

After receiving gifts from the villagers, Liu Fan and the Wushang never disturbed them again. According to Liu Fan's military order, those who dared to enter the village house in a selfish way would be killed and refused to forgive them.

So nearly a thousand soldiers set off in the open space outside the village, igniting a bonfire to rest.

Flirting with the bonfire in front of him, Liu Dan stared at the flames in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. Liu Fan and Xu Huang sat side by side. After a long time, Xu Huang said, "General of the Central Army, if the Su family fortress is unwilling to give us food tomorrow, we will really have no food."

Looking at his worried eyes, Liu Fan turned around and looked at the peaceful village not far away, "Then do you want to rob these farmers?"

Shaking his head, Xu Huang sighed and lowered his head and said, "But Guanzhong is in chaos now. If we just respect Su, Huang thought they would not necessarily appreciate it."

After breathing a long sigh, Liu Fan reached out and patted Xu Huang on the shoulder and said, "Gongming, you still don't understand the wealthy family. Sometimes they would rather spend some money than offend us migrant soldiers."

"Besides, I am not a free army, but a righteous soldier." He gently beat his shoulders, Liu Fan said to himself: "If Su family wants to continue to become a prominent family in martial arts and even Guanzhong, he must have this awareness of being kind and generous."

"Brother, this move should be called to defeat others with power." Suddenly, Liu Dan, who had been silent on the side, looked up and said.

Looking at him with a smile, Liu Fan nodded, and then he stood up and walked towards Pang De. Before camping, Liu Fan was relieved enough about Lang Guards. Those who were worried that something might happen were the Xiliang soldiers under Pang De's command, so Liu Fan specifically emphasized to him that he must restrain his soldiers.

Looking silently at the direction where Liu Fan left, Liu Dan stared at his back and was stunned. Suddenly, he found that this brother seemed to be different from before.

Liu Fan didn't know what changes happened in Liu Dan's heart, he was communicating with Pang De at this moment.

"How is it? Are all the robes still adapting?" Liu Fan asked with a chuckling as he looked at Pang De's busyness.

He quickly turned around, and after bowing to Liu Fan, he scratched his head and said honestly: "It's all pretty good. The General of the Central Army may not know anything. When he was in Xiliang, everyone was hungry and full."

Listening to Pang De's subconscious mind, he wanted Liu Fan to know that his soldiers would not be in turmoil because of starvation. In response, Liu Fan nodded with a smile and said nothing. He asked curiously: "I talked to Liangzhou Jianguo before, I heard that Han Sui had a brave general who was Yan Xing, but I don't know what the general under the tent of the Western Expedition?"

Upon hearing this, Pang De was a little stunned, and after a while he responded quietly: "If you talk about the brave general of Xiliang, then Yan Yanming is indeed capable. If he is heroic, the major general of the General of the Western Army will be better."

"Oh?" Liu Fan seemed quite surprised, "Why did he come with Ma Zhengxi this time?"

"This." After thinking for a while, Pang De said uncertainly: "Based on his age, he still does not allow him to join the army, but the young man from Xiliang drove his horse to kill the enemy. The major general is not weak, and maybe he will follow him by himself this time."

"Well!" Liu Fan seemed a little disappointed, looked at the night sky and murmured: "If I could meet him this time, it might be a blessing."

Looking at Liu Fan silently, Pang De didn't say anything. He and Ma Teng were just subordinate, let alone Ma Chao, which was really not familiar. Speaking of which, Ma Chao was young, but he was so arrogant that he didn't take anyone seriously in Xiliang. Thanks to Ma Teng and his own bravery, something would happen sooner or later.

However, seeing that Liu Fan stopped talking about Ma Chao, he did not mention it much. Next, Liu Fan comforted everyone a little and then rested.

The next day

It was still dawn, and Liu Fan had already ordered the soldiers to clean up their clothes and prepare to leave. When the three elders in Zhuangzi saw Liu Fan's army, they were both amazed and moved when they saw Liu Fan's army. When they said goodbye, he also said that he introduced Junxian Su from the Su family to Liu Fan to know each other, but Liu Fan declined it.

Although Liu Fan is now displaced in Guanzhong, his status is not lower than Su Ze, so there is no need to do anything deliberately, as long as he is down-to-earth.

But when Liu Fan led everyone out of the Zhuangzi and passed by Su's fortress, he found that there were already a group of people standing there waiting for a long time under the fortress.

Wearing Confucian uniform and looking straight at Su Ze, Su Ze saw Liu Fan leading his troops over, and walked quietly towards him. He raised his hand to stop the soldiers behind him. Liu Fan turned over and dismounted, briefly sorted out his clothes, and walked towards Su Ze.

After the two met and got their names and names.

Su Ze spoke first, "After returning from the city last night, I heard from the clan members that the General of the Central Army led his troops to Wugong. He wanted to visit him overnight, but he was afraid of disturbing Bo to rest often, so he waited under the fort today. Please forgive me for any negligence!"

"It's okay!" At that moment, Liu Fan smiled and waved his hand to respond, "No need for this to Master Wen. I came out of Chang'an and went to Yizhou to attack the thieves of Xiliang by His Majesty's edict. Passing by Guizhuang, I heard that Master Wen was famous and wanted to make friends."

"Bo Chang's name has been heard for a long time. Now that Your Majesty is trapped by Li Jue and Guo Si, Bo Chang can stand up at this critical moment. He is a hero of the world and a model of our respect." After that, Su Ze pointed to the back and said clearly: "This is a little food and fodder. Please don't dislike Bo Chang. Please respect Bo Chang's righteous deeds."

Seeing this, Liu Fan's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he admired Su Ze quite well. So the two of them naturally had a good chat. Finally, at the invitation of Su Ze, Liu Fan led his soldiers directly into the fort and rested for half a day.

As for Su Ze and Liu Fan talked about governing prefectures and counties based on the general trend of the world, and the more they talked, the more they became more and more acquainted. Perhaps Su Ze did not expect that he just thought that Liu Fan, who had ambition, could have such a broad view of the overall situation and strategy.

Liu Fan also found that Su Ze seemed to be a versatile person who was both literary and martial, and had principles in his actions. Now he was short of a scholar under his command, so he wanted to win him over.

So the two of them had a good time talking, until the end, everyone under Liu Fan finished resting and was energetic and ready to set off.
