Three Kingdoms King of the North

Hearing that Xu Shu called himself Xu Fu, Han Zhan was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that Xu Shu's real name was Xu Fu, and he changed his name to Xu Shu after he was rescued from murder.He didn't want to disturb Xu Shu's mother-child meeting, so while they were talking, he waved to the two maids and told them to leave.Just as he retreated to the door, he suddenly heard Xu's mother say: "Your brother Xu Kang has a daughter named Lin. She was lost more than ten years ago, and her whereabouts are still unknown."

Hearing that Xu Shu's niece disappeared more than ten years ago, Han Zhan suddenly became more careful, and said secretly: "If I send someone to help Xu Shu find this niece who has been missing for many years, maybe he will be grateful and sincere." put their trust in me."

Back in the chamber, he ordered Rob to invite Guo Jia.Tell him about the meeting between Xu Shu's mother and son.Finally, he said: "Feng Xiao, the Xu family is also from Yingchuan. Xu Yuanzhi's niece has been missing for more than ten years. Is there any way to find her?"

Guo Jia waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, then shook his head and said, "My lord, Jia thinks this matter is difficult to deal with. If it was a time of peace, if a girl got lost, there was still a possibility to find her. Chances are the kid would be dead by now."

In fact, Han Zhan had already considered what Guo Jia said.He took the initiative to help Xu Shu find relatives, but he couldn't help but want Xu Shu to be grateful to him, so that he could sincerely take refuge in him.But now hearing what Guo Jia said, he felt that he had taken it for granted.Not to mention the Yellow Turban riots in the past few years, and countless people died. Even in peacetime, finding a little girl who has been missing for more than ten years is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

Just when the two were at a loss, Patch suddenly ran into the conference hall in a hurry, and said anxiously to Han Zhan, "My lord, something happened!"

Patch is the housekeeper of the mansion. When he said something happened, he must mean something big happened in the backyard.Han Zhan stood up abruptly, and asked nervously, "Patch, what are you going to say?"

Patch smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, the maid you sent to attend Mrs. Xu came to report to me that when the Xu family's mother and son were reunited, Lihua went in to deliver something to Mrs. Xu. I don't know what they said, but the three of them are hugging their heads at the moment." Weeping bitterly."

When Xu Shu's mother and son met, it was human nature to cry in their arms, so Lihua went to join in the fun.Han Zhan muttered to himself, left Guo Jia behind, and followed Patch to the backyard.

Before reaching the courtyard where the old lady lived, Han Zhan heard a burst of crying.And the two maids were standing at the door, looking into the room.Han Zhan walked over and whispered to the two maids, "What happened?"

A maid hurriedly replied: "We don't know what's going on. When Sister Lihua came back with the things, she just heard the mother and child crying inside. She said to go in and put down the things and leave. Come out. We were worried, so we sneaked over to take a look, and saw that Sister Lihua was crying with the old lady and the others."

"So you reported to Patch?" When Han Zhan said this, he deliberately turned his gaze to Patch, wanting to make sure his guess was correct.After seeing Patch nodding, he quickly walked forward, opened the curtain and walked in.

As soon as Han Zhan entered the room, he saw Xu's mother and Lihua hugging each other and crying loudly, while Xu Shu was also standing aside wiping tears.Seeing this situation, Han Zhan was completely confused. He asked Xu Shu puzzledly, "Yuan Zhi, what happened?" When he asked this question, his eyes kept staring at Lihua, who was holding Xu's mother and crying.

Xu Shu wiped away the tears from his face with the sleeve of his robe, and then made a long bow to Han Zhan: "Tinghou, you have allowed my mother to reunite with Shu, and I am very grateful. Unexpectedly, my mother also found the missing dozen or so children. Nian's granddaughter, concubine's niece."

"It's all a trivial matter, so there's nothing to worry about." Han Zhan had just finished speaking, when he suddenly realized something was wrong, and asked in a panic, "Yuanzhi, what did you just say? My niece who has been lost for more than ten years?" He also asked He pointed to Lihua specifically to make sure his guess was correct.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shu nodded and said, "That's right, Miss Lihua is my niece who has been lost for more than ten years, and the biological daughter of my younger brother Xu Kang."

"Wait a minute," Han Zhan suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was too bloody, and hurriedly asked, "Yuan Zhi, you can't make a mistake, right?"

"There is no mistake." Xu Shu said in a positive tone: "Before my father was alive, he gave me and my younger brother a jade pendant with our respective names engraved on it, mine is Fu, and my brother's is Kang. "Speaking, he handed the two jade pendants in his hand to Han Zhan.

Han Zhan took it over and took a closer look. The two jade pendants were indeed engraved with the characters "Fu" and "Kang".He handed the jade pendant back to Xu Shu, and asked in puzzlement, "Yuanzhi, how can this prove that Lihua is your brother's biological daughter?"

Xu Shu glanced at Lihua, and continued: "My brother doted on this daughter, so he took the jade pendant that my father gave us, and gave it to my daughter. But more than ten years ago, Lin'er suddenly disappeared, and my brother repeated many times. I searched, but there was no whereabouts. Because of excessive grief, I was bedridden all year round."

Han Zhan didn't expect that Lihua had such a bizarre past. He stared at Lihua for a while, and then asked Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhi, how did you recognize Lihua?"

"Going back to Tinghou," Mother Xu wiped away her tears and said, "When I was talking to Fu'er about Lin'er's disappearance in the past, Lihua happened to walk in. She was about to leave after putting down her things, but she accidentally saw Fu'er's disappearance. The jade pendant in Er'er's hand, she exclaimed. When the old man asked her why, she took out Kang'er's jade pendant from her body."

After finishing speaking, Xu's mother stretched out her hand to gently stroke Lihua's head, and said lovingly, "My poor child, you have suffered for the past ten years."

Han Zhan is still skeptical about the origin of Yupei. He thinks that when Lihua disappeared, he might have been abducted by traffickers.If there is such a precious jade pendant on him, why don't the traffickers search it away?When this question was asked that day, the tearful Lihua looked up at him, and said innocently, "Master, have you forgotten that Lihua once told you. This jade pendant is a token of recognition with your family, Lihua How could it be lost? Ren Yazi did search for this jade pendant back then, but when the Han Mansion bought me, Li Hua begged the housekeeper to take this jade pendant back."

After listening to Lihua's explanation, Han Zhan guessed that the original owner of his body must know about it.Although I took his body away, I didn't inherit his memory, so I don't know many important things.He had no choice but to laugh, and then pretended to be confused and said, "Ewha, you may have told Ben Hou about this, but after Ben Hou hurt his head, he forgot many things, so it's not surprising that he can't remember this."

Chapter 181 Meeting an Old Man in the Army

Everything in the world is really a coincidence, if it wasn't for Han Zhan who secretly sent someone to fetch Xu Shu's mother in order to win over Xu Shu; The scene of blood will not appear.

"Tinghou!" Xu Shu saluted Han Zhan again, and said gratefully: "Tinghou's kindness to the Xu family will never be forgotten, if there is any order in the future"

Before Xu Shu finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xu's mother.She glared at Xu Shu fiercely, and said displeasedly: "Fu'er, to be a human being, you must know how to repay your kindness. Shouldn't you repay Tinghou's kindness to our Xu family?"

Xu Shu was confused by Xu's mother's words. He looked at his mother and asked puzzledly, "Mother, my son doesn't understand what you mean?"

Xu's mother pointed at him, and said in a tone of hatred, "Fu'er, you are now Tinghou's subordinate, but I have heard you say that it is Tinghou, not the lord, do you plan to marry him sooner or later?" Leave Tinghou?"

Although Xu Shu has been Han Zhan's subordinate for a long time, he always called Han Zhan the Marquis of Ting, but never called the lord, because he still needs to observe to see if Han Zhan is a lord worthy of his service.Hearing what Xu's mother said at this moment, he couldn't help hesitating. He didn't know whether to obey his mother's order or observe Han Zhan for a while before making a final decision.

Han Zhan noticed the strange atmosphere in the room, and he was not a fool, so he quickly said to Xu's mother, "Old lady, whether Yuan Zhi is willing to work for me or not depends entirely on him personally, and this prince is absolutely not what you can do."

"Have you heard it all?" Mother Xu turned to Xu Fu and said, "Tinghou doesn't want to force you to make a choice, so where can you find such a reasonable master?"

Xu Shu is extremely filial, seeing Xu's mother repeatedly mentioning the matter of changing her name, she does not want to let her mother down.Then he saluted Han Zhan deeply, and said respectfully: "I see you, my lord!"

Don't think it's just a change of title, but it means that Xu Shu is willing to put himself first. As long as he doesn't do anything that angers others, he will never leave him.Han Zhan quickly stepped forward to help Xu Shu up, and said with a smile, "Yuan Zhi is free!"

Han Zhan turned his head and said to Xu's mother, "Lady, I want to send people to Yingchuan to bring your second son Xu Kang to Jizhou to reunite with Lihua and his daughter. Is it possible?"

Although Lihua has been separated from her father since childhood, the relationship between father and daughter is not too deep.But at this moment when Han Zhan offered to send someone to Yingchuan to fetch her father, she couldn't help but shed tears down her cheeks again.Xu's mother held her in her arms and said lovingly: "My poor child, you can reunite with your father and daughter after a while. Kang'er has been ill for more than ten years. Maybe when he sees you, he will It can be cured."

When Xu's mother talked about curing diseases, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel moved. He said to himself: Since he came to this dynasty, he has seen Hua Tuo, but Zhang Zhongjing and Dong Feng, two genius doctors in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, have never seen him.It is said that Zhang Zhongjing is in Chang'an at the moment, and it seems that it is necessary to send someone to Jushou immediately, asking him to invite Zhang Zhongjing to Jizhou.

Han Zhan chatted with Xu's mother for a few more words, then took his leave and left.Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the room, Xu Shu also came out: "My lord, please stay!"

Han Zhan stopped and asked, "Yuanzhi, what's the matter?"

"My lord!" Xu Shu stopped in front of him and said to him, "I want to talk about my views on the allocation of Yongye fields to soldiers."

It was Han Zhan's whim to allocate Yongye fields to the soldiers, but he had no idea what to do, so after throwing it to Xu Shu and Shi Tao, he basically didn't ask.Hearing that Xu Shu had a different opinion at this moment, he quickly said, "Please tell me, Yuan Zhi!"

"There are more than [-] soldiers and horses in Jizhou now." Xu Shu said carefully: "Even if each person is only allocated ten acres of land, it will still require a million acres. The subordinates are worried that there will not be so much land to allocate."

"Yuanzhi don't have to worry," Han Zhan waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "Jizhou is not enough land, so we will go to Qingzhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou. Anyway, sooner or later, Benhou will take the land of the four states into his own hands." When he said this, he suddenly thought of a question, and asked quickly, "Benhou remembers that there were only [-] soldiers and horses in Jizhou. When did they become [-]?"

Hearing Han Zhan's question, Xu Shu smiled wryly, and replied: "My lord, since the introduction of the order to allocate Yongyetian to soldiers, the enthusiasm of the people in Jizhou to join the army has been unprecedentedly high. The number of soldiers in this city alone exceeds Thousands of people."

Han Zhan was also taken aback when he learned that tens of thousands of people volunteered to join the army in Jizhou City alone.He originally thought that even if he introduced the land distribution policy, there would not be too many people willing to join the army in the short term.Unexpectedly, he still underestimated how much people love the land in this era.

Just when he was feeling a headache, Xu Shu said again: "Master, you haven't been to the military camp for several months. If you have free time tomorrow, please go to the military camp. The soldiers are looking forward to your visit."

After being reminded by Xu Shu, Han Zhan couldn't help but blush, thinking that since he and Cai Yan had a physical relationship, he basically never left the state pastoral mansion except to deliver food to Cao Cao.Although none of his subordinates said anything, it is estimated that many people regarded him as a foolish king in their hearts.He nodded quickly, and said to Xu Shu: "Okay, the Marquis of Japan will inspect the barracks in person tomorrow."

The next morning, Han Zhan woke up early on purpose. After washing up, he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he took Rob and a team of cavalry and headed for the barracks.

When he came to the gate of the barracks, Han Zhan was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate. Du Bo, the leader of the team, politely said to Han Zhan, "My lord, please wait here, and I will report to General Zhao immediately!"

Rob, who was following behind, asked Du Bo angrily, "Since you know it's the lord, why do you still block our way?"

Han Zhan quickly raised his hand to interrupt Rob's next words, and said to him: "Du Bo is doing the right thing, he is doing his own duty." After speaking, he waved to the other party and ordered: "Hurry up and report to Zhao. General!"

Not long after, Zhao Yun, Zhang Yun, Huang Zhong and others came to the gate of the camp in a panic, and they all saluted Han Zhan: "The last general will see the lord!"

Han Zhan was welcomed into the conference hall by the crowd. He sat down in the middle and said to the crowd with some embarrassment: "Everyone, I have been busy with mundane affairs recently, so I have no time to come to the army for inspection. The military affairs have bothered you all." .”

As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Zhao Yun stood up and said respectfully, "Whatever the lord is talking about, training soldiers and horses is the job of the subordinates. There is no such thing as hard work."

After Zhao Yun reported the military affairs to Han Zhan for a while, he suddenly said, "My lord has rushed to the barracks so quickly. I must have not eaten breakfast. It just so happens that a cook came from the army a few days ago. My lord might as well try his cooking." After Han Zhan nodded his approval, he immediately shouted outside: "Bring in the mutton soup and noodles!"

Hearing Zhao Yun calling for mutton soup and noodle cakes, Han Zhan couldn't help being taken aback. He instinctively linked these two things with Zigu.Before the mutton head soup was served, he hurriedly asked Zhao Yun, "Zilong, where is this cook from?"

Although Zhao Yun didn't know the purpose of Han Zhan's question, he still replied truthfully: "He is a local, and he works as a cook in a mutton soup restaurant. He is good at cooking, so he was arranged in the kitchen."

When the soldiers brought the mutton soup and noodle cakes, Han Zhan took a sip and couldn't help laughing: It really is a familiar taste.He hurriedly said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, call that cook up, the Marquis wants to have a chat with him."
