Although Wei Yan and Liao Hua both came from the military, they had different experiences and considered issues in different directions.

Looking at the two people arguing, Wei Shi's heart sank, but he fell into thinking.

Join forces with Zhang Lu to attack Shen Dan and Shen Yi.

This is a strategy of distant friendship and close attack, and there is generally no deviation.

But the problem is that Wei Shi is currently weak. If he joins forces with Zhang Lu, it will be terrible if he kills the two evil wolves Shen Dan and Shen Yi and welcomes the fierce tiger Zhang Lu.

"Ming Gong, actually it's not a bad thing to have the Shen brothers blocking the way?" Lou Gui listened for a long time, couldn't help but snorted, shook his brocade robe, and cupped his hands.

As Wei Shi's status improved, Lou Gui's attitude became more and more cautious, and his title became Ming Gong.

I would rather have the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

Life was going smoothly and he was in a good mood. Lou Gui no longer mentioned the matter of defecting to Liu Biao in Xiangyang.

"Master Lou is very knowledgeable. I wonder if he has any wise ideas?" Wei Shi saluted Lou Gui and asked in a respectful tone.

He was in short supply of counselors, and Lou Gui was considered the most capable. A few compliments to this cheap teacher made Lou Gui work harder to make plans, so that Wei Shi would not suffer.

"It's not up to you to talk about Gao Jian, Gui's opinion. Now our top priority is not only to gather wealth and strengthen the army, but also to gain reputation and relocate the people."

"Reputation is prestige. Ming Gong is now a veritable prefect of a county. It is different from the past. The official position of Ming Gong's Fangling Prefect was issued by His Majesty. Now he is well-deserved and can send people to His Majesty.

Announce good news and strive for greater benefits."

"Relocating people is to increase the number of households under the rule. The reason why Fangling is weak is that there is a lack of people. When Ming Gong left the inner countryside, he made an appointment with General Zuo to invite the villagers who wanted to move westward, but General Zuo refused to do so.

stop."

"Now that Fangling has been demolished, Ming Gong can send people from Yushuwan Township to lobby. Anyone who is willing to move to Fangling will be given a heavy reward."

Lou Gui was very proud, waved his long sleeves, pointed out the country, and talked about it in general.

In front of Wei Yan, Liao Hua, Huang Xu and other descendants, his resourcefulness and scheming were obviously superior.

This kind of intellectual pleasure made Lou Gui feel much younger. Now, if Wei Shi brought up the matter of surrendering again, Lou Gui would definitely not say anything stupid about defecting to Liu Biao.

"The Master said: When three people are walking together, there must be one who is my teacher. The suggestions of all the princes have been recorded by Shi. The prosperity of the house and mausoleum in the future will not be the result of Wei Shi alone, but the credit of everyone."

Wei Shi listened and took notes.

A good memory is worse than a bad pen.

No matter what Wei Yan, Liao Hua or Lou Gui said, they were all valuable suggestions to him.

Wei Shi finally decided to take into account everyone's opinions and use their strengths.

At the diplomatic level, Liao Hua was sent as envoy to Hanzhong and submitted a letter to Zhang Lu to unite Zong and Lianheng. In the letter, Wei Shi also made a promise that after the Shen brothers were conquered and destroyed, each of them would be divided into Shangyong and Xiping.

, among which Shangyong belonged to Wei Shi, and Xiping was placed under the rule of Hanzhong.

Of course, this promise is just a promise, no one will take it seriously, it is just a show.

When it comes to Shendan and Shenyi being attacked and destroyed, whether Wei Shi and Zhang Lu will have another dispute is another matter.

At the military level, Wei Yan, Hou Yin and other generals stepped up their efforts to recruit brave warriors among the people, train new soldiers, train the team, and intensify their efforts to encircle and suppress Du Yi, the leader of the Huba tribe.

In terms of reputation, Guo Peng was sent by Wei Shi to return to Yingchuan again and went to Tang Zhai to report Wei Shi's situation to Tang Ying, Princess Hongnong.

In his handwritten letter to Tang Ying, Wei Shi specifically mentioned two important things.

The first is about his cousin. Although according to the crown ceremony, Wei Shi can't get his cousin until he is twenty years old, but now that he is the governor of a county, his status and identity are different. If he doesn't have a cousin yet, it will be really inconvenient.

.

Wei Shi's father's clan has long since dispersed, and he has no elders. Only Tang Ying's clan is relatively close to his mother's clan. It is only natural that Tang Ying should ask a well-known venerable to give Wei Shi his surname.

The second is Han Qiang's etiquette instruction. This matter is not difficult for Tang Ying. There are suitable palace servants around her, so just find one to send to Han Qiang.

In terms of relocation, Han Ping, Han Wu's wife, Han Jin's family, plus Wei Xiao'e and other Yushu Bay villagers are the most suitable candidates for lobbying.

Speak for yourself.

That will move people.

Aunt Han and her family are the best candidates for publicity.

The fact that Han's father and mother were brutally killed by Cao Jun can make the villagers feel the same without saying much.

In order to increase the sense of intimacy with the villagers, Wei Shi put Wei Xiao'e on the lobbying list this time.

When Wei Xiao'e heard that she was going back to Yushu Bay, her face flushed red with excitement. She pestered her sister-in-law Han Qiang for half the night and made small talk, which made Wei Shi very dissatisfied.

"Xiao'e goes out to fight, one can fight two. Brother, look at it. This time when I go back, I will find all the friends from Dengjiawan and Hanjiawan. By the way, little Dengfan who is herding cattle should have five people now.

Years old......"

Wei Xiao'e didn't sleep all night, thinking about old acquaintances in her mind.

She saw her brother Wei Shi's hard work over the past year and remembered it in her heart.

She also wanted to help Wei Shi, but she never had the chance. This time, Wei Xiao'e finally had a place to use her skills.

"Okay, my Xiao'e is the most powerful, no one can compare with her." Wei Shi touched Wei Xiao'e's head and said with a fond smile.

"Huh, sister-in-law, look, brother, he looks down on people." Wei Xiao'e shook her head, quite dissatisfied that Wei Shi had messed up her carefully combed bun.

Return home in fine clothes.

Wei Xiao'e had great expectations for returning to Yushu Bay this time.

"Okay, I will wait for little Deng Fan to come to Fangling. If Xiao'e does this, then I will ask your sister-in-law to prepare a large pot of steamed cakes, as well as roasted meat, soup cakes, and oven cakes...

....”

My own girl feels pain at home.

Wei Xiao'e followed him and suffered a lot.

Although life is getting better now, in Wei Shi's heart, he is still the thin little girl sitting at the door, cooking bitter vegetables and waiting for him to come back.

Under the protection of Guo Peng, Wei Xiao'e, together with Aunt Han Wu, Han Jin and other villagers, excitedly took a boat across Danshui and returned to Yushu Bay.

Wei Shi also looked forward to their return.

Little Deng Fan is from Dengjiawan next door. He lost his father when he was young. He depended on his mother in his early years and made a living by herding cattle.

Because of his stuttering, little Deng Fan was often bullied and became childhood playmates with Wei Xiao'e.

If there is no mistake, he should be the famous general Deng Ai in history.

It has little reputation and is located in a remote location.

Wei Shi couldn't attract outstanding generals for a while, so he could only take a long-term approach to catch the big fish and find Deng Ai, who was underage and still had potential.

It is also a good investment to develop it from an early age.
