Three Kingdoms King of the North

The apricot-yellow "Han" flag on the tower of Ximen Gate in Jizhou is swinging back and forth in the wind.Inside and outside the city gate, the people of Jizhou stood along the road.The Jizhou army in bright armor, holding long daggers, stood on both sides of the road, and the people who watched the excitement were not allowed to rush into the middle of the road.After receiving the news, Jizhou Mu Hanfu personally led his military officials to welcome Yuan Shao and his party outside the door.

There was a faint sound of horseshoes in the distance, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.Not long after, thousands of cavalry appeared in the distance, moving slowly towards Jizhou City.In front of the cavalry team is a team of flag bearers, with a large flag in the middle, with a large bean-shaped "Yuan" written on it.

Seeing the appearance of Yuan Shao's cavalry, Xin Ping was the most excited. He pointed to the big flag and said emotionally: "Fujun, look quickly, it is the flag of the Marquis of Haixiang." He was eager to change the gate, He didn't realize that his address to Han Fu hastily changed from the previous "Lord" to "Fu Jun".

Han Fu noticed the change of Xin Ping's address to him, and showed displeasure on his face, but considering that in the public, if he reprimanded Xin Ping for the title issue, it might affect his reputation, so he could only endure it. This bad breath.

The cavalry came very quickly, and in an instant, the distance was less than a hundred steps away.The big flag stopped, and the flag bearers who followed it also stopped, and then neatly flashed to the sides, making way for a passage.Yuan Shao led Yan Liang, Chou and Feng Ji, rode out from the passage on horseback, and walked slowly towards where Han Fu was standing.

Han Fu hurried up to meet him, stopped at a distance of more than ten steps away from Yuan Shao, gave a deep salute, and said respectfully: "Han Fu of Jizhou, welcome the Marquis of Bixiang, General Cheqi!"

Yuan Shao quickly got off his horse, walked forward with a smile, held Han Fu's hand, and said with a smile: "Jie, you and I are old friends, so there is no need to be so polite."

While Han Fu and Yuan Shao were talking, Han Zhan and Xun Chen got out of the carriage and each rode a horse to catch up.Stopping at a distance of more than twenty steps from the two of them, the two got off their horses and walked quickly to Han Fu.

Xun Chen stepped forward and bowed to Han Fu, while Han Zhan knelt down on his knees reluctantly, kowtowed to Han Fu, and said respectfully: "Father, fortunately, the child did not disgrace his life. Yuan Cheqi has invited you to Jizhou."

"Zhan'er, thank you for your hard work." Han Fu hurriedly stepped forward to help his son up from the ground.

"It is a child's duty to serve his father." Han Zhan replied without blushing and heartbeat: "I will go through fire and water."

"Jie," Yuan Shao and his father and son interjected after a few words, "Although your son is young, he has outstanding knowledge. Given time, he will definitely become your right-hand man."

"The Marquis of Beixiang is too much." Han Fu smiled happily when he heard Yuan Shao praise his son.But he didn't forget the business, he waved back, and a carriage that had been prepared earlier drove over and stopped beside them.

Han Fu pushed the driver out of the carriage, bowed his hands to Yuan Shao and said, "Please board the carriage, and take Fu to drive for you personally!"

"Jie personally drives for Shao, how can Shao deserve it." Yuan Shao pretended to decline and said, "I think it's better to walk into the city." got the carriage.

After the carriage driven by Han Fu started, Xun Chen, who had just arrived, followed closely behind on horseback with Han Zhan, Yan Liang, Chou, Feng Ji and others.Behind them were the two hundred cavalry brought by Zhang Xi and the five hundred fine cavalry under Yuan Shao's command.

The people watching saw Yuan Shao sitting in the carriage, and someone asked curiously, "Is this the General Yuan Cheqi who was the fourth generation and the third father?"

"Isn't that right? This is Yuan Benchu, Marquis of Beixiang and Governor of Bohai Sea." An insider immediately replied, "I heard from a relative on duty that Lord Han has given up Jizhou to Marquis of Beixiang. Nuonuo, The young man following the carriage is the eldest son of Mr. Han, and he personally gave the seal and ribbon of Jizhou to the Marquis of Bixiang. From now on, Jizhou will change its surname to Yuan."

The people in Jizhou have a very simple idea. As long as the world is peaceful and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, it really doesn’t matter to them who is the shepherd of Jizhou: "This is really great. It was said a while ago that Gongsun Zan was going to call, It made people panic, but now that the Marquis of Beixiang is here, Jizhou will be at peace."

On the second floor of a restaurant next to the street, by the window, sat a gorgeously dressed young gentleman, with two servants standing beside him.At the moment, he was staring at Han Zhan who was following the carriage with vicious eyes, gritted his molars, and said viciously: "Your surname is Han, you are lucky this time, none of the assassins can kill you. But don’t be complacent, if it’s three days at the fastest, or five days at the slowest, I will definitely let you die without a whole body.”

Chapter 0023

Seeing that he was about to reach the State Shepherd's Mansion, Xun Chen, who was riding alongside Han Zhan on horseback, suddenly called out, "Master!"

Hearing that Xun Chen didn't call himself "Zhan'er" but "Young Master", he knew that he must have something important to say, so he bowed immediately and asked respectfully, "I wonder what advice does uncle have? "

Xun Chen pondered for a while, and finally said: "My lord, the lord will be in the hall later and officially hand over Jizhou to the Marquis of Bixiang. You should go home early after you have been away for a long time, so you don't have to go to watch the ceremony."

Han Zhan froze for a moment: "Why?"

Xun Chen looked at Han Zhan, and said meaningfully: "Young master is a white man, not suitable to appear on such an occasion."

These few words of Xun Chen made Han Zhan understand that although he is the son of Han Fu, he has no official position, and he is not qualified to participate in such an important ceremony as the transfer of power in Jizhou.

Han Zhan endured the disappointment in his heart, and bowed to Xun Chen again: "In that case, Zhan'er, let's go now." After the salute, he bowed his hands to Yan Liang, Chou, and Feng Ji, "Everyone, we will meet later." After speaking, he turned the horse's head and walked towards the nearby alley.

Han Zhan walked through the alley and came to another street.He rode his horse and walked slowly along the street, preparing to enter the State Shepherd's Mansion through the back door.After walking for a certain distance, he suddenly found that there were no pedestrians on the street, and it seemed extremely deserted.He frowned, thinking that there is usually a lot of traffic here, why can't he see anyone today, did they all go to Ximen to watch the excitement?

After riding forward for a while, he unexpectedly found the back door of the State Shepherd's Mansion guarded by soldiers.Sixteen brightly armored soldiers lined up on both sides of the gate holding long daggers.A man dressed as a military marquis, riding a bay red horse and holding a steel gun, stood in the middle of the road in front of the door like a statue.The people who passed by the back door of the State Shepherd's Mansion did not dare to stop in the slightest, and hurried away one after another.

When Han Zhan saw this situation, he felt very strange, and thought what was going on, when did the back door of my house start to be heavily guarded?In order to find out what happened, he hurriedly drove towards the group of soldiers.

Seeing someone coming on horseback, Junhou quickly turned the horse's head and walked a few steps towards him, then reined in the horse, held a gun in his right hand, pointed at Han Zhan with his left hand, and shouted: "Stop whoever comes!"

Han Zhan was suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help being a little surprised. He thought, who are these people, and I'm not allowed to go home?As he continued to let the horses move forward, he asked curiously: "This military lord, dare to ask what you are doing here?"

"It's an important place for the government, and idlers are not allowed to come near." The Marquis looked Han Zhan up and down. Although he didn't recognize him as the son of Lord Han, judging from his clothes, he was also a rich man.Therefore, the Marquis Jun said politely: "I also ask you to leave quickly."

"Junhou, I am the son of Lord Han." Han Zhan saw that the other party still did not recognize him, so he could only reveal his identity and said, "I just came back from welcoming Yuan Cheqi outside today. Please, Junhou, please let me go home." Home."

"It turned out to be the son." Hearing Han Zhan's identity, the military marquis quickly got off his horse, cupped his gun and said, "I don't know the identity of the son. I have offended you so much. Please make amends."

"You don't have to blame yourself, the Marquis. Those who don't know are not guilty." Han Zhan sat on the horse's back and stretched out his hand to help him, and then asked, "I wonder if I can go home now?"

Hearing what Han Zhan said, Junhou showed a surprised expression on his face, and then returned to normal, "Young Master, I don't know that the family members of the Fujun no longer live in the mansion."

"What, the family members are not in the mansion?" Han Zhan was so surprised that he almost fell off his horse, "Then where is my family moving now?"

"The mansion of Zhongchang Shi Zhao Zhong."

After figuring out the address of his new home, Han Zhan thanked the Marquis and turned his horse's head to prepare to leave.At this moment, he noticed that the military marquis was nine feet tall and handsome, and he was not a commoner at first glance.He guessed that the military lord might have been a famous general in the Three Kingdoms period, so he asked curiously, "I don't know what to call the military lord?"

Junhou hurriedly cupped his hands and replied: "A certain surname is Gao Minglan, from Hejian County."

After hearing this, Han Zhan nodded slightly, and said casually, "Oh, he's from Hejian, and he's from the same town as Army Sima Zhang He." As soon as he said this, he suddenly trembled all over, and then asked, "Mr. Jun, you just now What did you say your name was?"

"Hejian Gaolan!" Junhou repeated his name again with a blank expression.

After confirming that the military marquis in front of him was Gao Lan, one of the Four Court Pillars who was as famous as Zhang He, Han Zhan couldn't help laughing.Unexpectedly, in just a few days, I have met Yan Liang, Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan of "Hebei Four Court Columns".

Although there are not many descriptions of Gao Lan in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he is basically juxtaposed with Zhang Yun, the comments on him are not high.In particular, his last appearance in the book was purely for the purpose of being shot by Zhao Yun, so as to achieve Zhao Yun's great reputation.But since he can become one of the four court pillars, he won't be too bad in terms of force or control.

"It turned out to be Uncle Yuan. I have admired him for a long time." Han Zhan bowed his hands to Gao Lan, and said with a smile, "I still have important matters today, so I won't disturb the Marquis here. Farewell!"

Looking at Han Zhan who was riding away on horseback, Gao Lan showed a confused expression, "I don't seem to have said my own words to the young master, how did he know?" But this kind of trivial matter was quickly thrown away by him. In the back of his head, he remounted his horse and returned to the back of the State Shepherd's Mansion to continue his duties.

Han Zhan was riding a horse, feeling a little disappointed, thinking that if he had soldiers and territory now, besides recruiting Zhao Yun, it would not be impossible to recruit Zhang He and Gao Lan just now under his command.But now with Han Fu's loss of power, he has become a rootless duckweed. It is not easy to protect himself, let alone create a foundation.

As he was walking, he raised his head inadvertently, and found that he had come to a strange place. He looked around for a long time, but he didn't recognize where he was in Jizhou City.He hastily got off his horse, grabbed a passing young man, and asked, "Brother, do you know how to get to Zhongchang Shi Zhao Zhong's mansion?"

The young man was taken aback by Han Zhan's sudden pull, he waved his hands hastily, broke away from Han Zhan without even saying a word, and ran away quickly.

Han Zhan was in the same place, looking at the people coming and going in front of him, fearing that he would ask another unreliable person, so he patiently observed the suitable candidate.Finally, I saw an old man in plain clothes approaching slowly, hurriedly went up to meet him, bowed and saluted, and asked, "Old man, you are polite!"

Seeing a man who looked like a rich man standing in front of him, the old man greeted him politely, and quickly said politely, "Young man, what can I ask you?"

"Old man," Han Zhan asked politely, "do you know where Zhongchang Shi Zhao Zhong's residence is?"

"Young master is on a mission. Zhao Zhong's mansion is in the north of the city," the old man said dumbfoundingly, "Why did you run to the east of the city?"

Han Zhan's old face turned red, and he said with some embarrassment: "Old man, I'm not familiar with Jizhou City, so I got lost. Please trouble me to show you the way."

Chapter 0024 Homecoming

Under the guidance of the old man, Han Zhan found the old mansion of Zhongchang servant Zhao Zhong.As soon as he came to the gate, he saw Patch coming out of the gate.Seeing that Patch hadn't noticed him, he raised his voice and shouted: "Patch!"

When Patch heard someone calling him, he was taken aback for a moment, looked left and right for a while, and saw Han Zhan on the horseback, with a surprise expression on his face, he ran over quickly and took the rein, surprised He asked earnestly, "Master, when did you come back? I'm still worried that you won't be able to find our new home."

"I came back today," Han Zhan said to Patch as he got off his horse, "I just went to the State Shepherd's Mansion, but the military marquis guarding the gate told me that my family has moved here." Patch called a station The servant outside the door asked him to take away the horse Han Zhan was riding, and then walked inside with Han Zhan.
