Three Kingdoms King of the North

"Don't worry." Han Zhan recalled Yuan Tan's expression just now, and found that although the other party kept saying that he didn't want to go back to Beihai, he was still somewhat moved. Therefore, after hearing Rob's question, he said confidently: "Based on this According to Hou's judgment, he will definitely agree."

"Master Yuan," Han Zhan clasped his fists and said to them, "You have been here for a long time. You must miss your family very much. Here, it is not suitable, so I plan to send someone to take you home."

"Go home?!" Hearing what Han Zhan said, Yuan Tan smiled bitterly, and said, "Where do we have a home?"

"Who said you two don't have a home?" Han Zhan said to Yuan Tan with a smile: "Your younger brother Yuan Shang and Yuan Xianfu are currently sitting in Beihai County. Oh, by the way, it seems that your stepmother, Mrs. Liu, is also there. After the two of you go to Beihai, you can help your younger brother guard the city, and you can also honor your elders. You can kill two birds with one stone, so why not do it?"

Unexpectedly, after Han Zhan finished speaking, he saw Yuan Tan's face turn livid.Han Zhan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Young Master Yuan, isn't this Marquis right?"

"The Marquis of Ting doesn't know something," Yuan Tan said, cupping his hands toward Han Zhan: "Liu is narrow-minded. In order to support his son to succeed my father's title, he has been secretly instigating in front of my father. He wants to get rid of me and hurry up, my brother." The two are at odds with her."

Regarding the situation of Yuan Shao's wife, Han Zhan had already learned about it in the book, and knew that she was narrow-minded and jealous.After Yuan Shao's death, Mrs. Liu killed all five of Yuan Shao's beloved concubines, and feared that their ghosts would meet Shao again under the Nine Springs. corpse.Fearing that the relatives of these concubines would retaliate, they simply exterminated them all.

Chapter 322

"Xianyi," Yuan Tan unexpectedly did not address Yuan Xi as his second younger brother, but directly called the other person's name: "How do you think about what you said to the little boy of the Han family in the hall today?"

Seeing Yuan Tan speaking to him in such a serious tone, Yuan Xi guessed that the other party must have made a decision, so he respectfully said: "Your younger brother is the elder brother's leader. Whether we two brothers will go to Bohai Sea or not depends on the elder brother's decision. "

"Since the second brother said so, we might as well have a long-term plan." Regarding Yuan Xi's attitude, Yuan Tan nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "It's not impossible to go to Bohai County. But now it is the territory of Xianfu and the Liu family. If you and my brother go rashly, we will inevitably be killed."

For the two Yuan brothers, when it comes to marching and fighting, Yuan Tan is naturally stronger; but when it comes to being cautious, Yuan Xi is better.He knew very well in his heart that no matter how strong his ability was, as long as Yuan Tan, the eldest son of the Yuan family, was around, many things could only be decided by the other party. But he has his own plan.Seeing that Yuan Tan did plan to go to Bohai Sea, he tentatively asked, "I don't know what the elder brother intends to do?"

"Borrow soldiers from Han Tinghou." Yuan Tan asked Han Zhan at this moment, and he couldn't help calling him "Han family boy" to "Han Tinghou". Thousands of soldiers and horses, when the two of us brothers go to Beihai, we can rest easy."

Yuan Xi knew very well that if he and Yuan Tan were the only ones going to Bohai County, if Yuan Shang and Liu Shi had any wrong ideas and sent someone to intercept and kill them on the way, their lives would be in danger.If they could borrow troops from Han Zhan, then Yuan Shang and others would not dare to act rashly, so that the two brothers could reach Bohai County smoothly.As long as they can reach Nanpi City smoothly, they can contact the old department in private and come to replace Yuan Shang's position as the Bohai prefect.

But when it came to borrowing soldiers from Han Zhan, Yuan Xi was a little apprehensive. He felt that it would be difficult for him to borrow soldiers and horses from Han Zhan just by relying on the two of his brothers, so he said hesitantly: " Brother, do you think Han Tinghou is willing to lend us troops?"

"We can only gamble on luck." Yuan Tan looked at Yuan Xi and said, "I think since Han Tinghou offered to send us back to Bohai County, he must have already planned this."

As soon as Yuan Tan finished speaking, Yuan Xi immediately asked, "Then when shall we go to see Han Tinghou?"

"Wait for another two days." Yuan Tan said a little embarrassedly: "After all, I just rejected his offer today, and it's not appropriate to ask for an interview now."

Although Yuan Xi was eager to get to Nanpi as soon as possible, but when he heard Yuan Tan say this, he also understood that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he could only say helplessly: "Since the eldest brother has decided to return to Bohai County, we might as well wait for two more days I just hope that Han Tinghou can agree to our brother's request for borrowing troops, if there is no Jizhou soldiers to help, we don't need to go back."

The messenger sent by Han Zhan arrived at Chaoge that night and handed Han Zhan's letter to the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang.After reading the letter, Lu Kuang said to Lu Xiang: "The Lord told you and me to rush to Yecheng immediately. When do you think we will leave?"

"Didn't my lord order you and me to supervise the captured Baibo soldiers here?" Lu Xiang didn't read the letter on the table, but asked bluntly: "I don't know what to do if we are recruited to Yecheng in such a hurry. thing."

Lu Kuang shook his head and said, "My lord's letter didn't say, but let us rush to Yecheng as soon as possible. I guess there may be an urgent military situation. You pack up as soon as possible, we will set off tomorrow morning."

In the early morning of the next day, brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang rushed to Yecheng with a team of soldiers.Worried that Han Zhan was in a hurry, they even ate dry food on horseback.Hurry up slowly, and finally arrived in Yecheng that afternoon.

Seeing the arrival of the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, Han Zhan had a surprised expression on his face. He didn't expect them to come so quickly.After the ceremony between the two of them, Han Zhan said, "Two Lieutenants Lv, the Marquis is in such a hurry to recruit you from Chaoge because there is an important thing to do. I want to tell you to go."

"My lord has any orders, but it's okay to say." Lu Kuang said carelessly, "Brother Yu will definitely be willing to go through fire and water."

"The Marquis intends to let go of the Yuan brothers." Han Zhan looked at Lu Kuang and said, "The two of you will escort them to Nanpi."

"What, let go of the Yuan family brothers?" Hearing what Han Zhan said, Lu Kuang showed a surprised expression on his face. After he and Lu Xiang looked at each other, he said cautiously: "My lord, Nanpi is still the territory of the Yuan family. , Sending the Yuan family brothers back to Nanpi, isn't that going back to the mountain like a tiger?"

"Zonghu returns to the mountain?!" Han Zhan couldn't help laughing when he heard the idiom used by Lu Kuang, and then said: "If Yuan Shao is still in Bohai County, I will send you to send the Yuan family brothers back to Nanpi City. Even if the tiger returns to the mountain. But now there are only Yuan Shang, Gao Gan and others in Nanpi City, sending Brother Yuan Tan back now is two different things."

Lu Kuang was confused by Han Zhan's words, and he asked in puzzlement, "Two different things, why are they two different things?"

And Lu Xiang's reaction was obviously to be quick, with a surprised expression on his face: "Why did my lord let go of the Yuan brothers? I think I know the reason."

Seeing that Lu Kuang still looked blank, Han Zhan said to Lu Xiang, "Since you have already guessed what this Marquis is up to, you might as well tell Brother Ling so that he can understand what's going on."

Lu Xiang faced Lu Kuang and said: "Don't you understand what my lord means? The current governor of Bohai is Yuan Shang. My lord asked us to escort the Yuan family brothers to Bohai County. It is for them to fight for power with Yuan Shang. As long as Bohai County Once there is chaos, when we send troops to Qingzhou, we don't have to worry about someone standing by our side."

After Lu Xiang ended like this, Lu Kuang finally realized suddenly: "It turns out that this is the case, my lord's plan is really clever."

"The two of you brothers used to be the former members of the Yuan family." Seeing that Lu Kuang had understood his intentions, Han Zhan continued, "You guys will be responsible for the escort, so the Yuan family brothers will have no scruples."

Lu Kuang waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, and immediately asked, "Master, when will we escort them to Bohai County?"

"Don't worry about this matter." Han Zhan waved his hands and said, "I want to keep the Yuan family brothers in the cold for two more days, so that they don't ask me a lot of conditions. Since Chang'an came back, the two of you have been busy chaoge The captives have never had a good rest, so why not take advantage of the two days' free time and take a good rest in the city."

The Yuan and Tan brothers, who were eager to return to Bohai County as the prefect, waited patiently in their yard for two days. Seeing that Han Zhan had never sent anyone to look for them, they seemed to have forgotten about themselves, so they were cheeky. Go to see Han Zhan.After listening to Rob's report, Han Zhan smiled lightly, and then said slowly, "Robu, Ben Hou doesn't want to see them now, let them all go back."

Knowing that Han Zhan didn't want to see them, the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi couldn't help panicking.The two closed the door to discuss in the room. Yuan Tan knew that Yuan Xi had more eyes than himself, so he could only humbly ask him for advice: "Second brother, you said that Han Tinghou said two days ago that we should return to Bohai County. Is there really such a thing?" Planning, or just saying it casually?"

Yuan Xi frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Brother, according to my observation, it seems that Han Tinghou is joking, and he should be really planning to let us return to Bohai County."

Hearing what Yuan Xi said, Yuan Tan anxiously slapped the table in front of him several times: "I'm really obsessed. A few days ago, Han Tinghou offered to send us back to Bohai County, so I should agree to him." .Now he doesn't even want to see us, so there must be no hope for this matter."

"Brother is not worried." Seeing that Yuan Tan was a little out of sorts, Yuan Xi comforted him and said, "Han Tinghou doesn't want to see us, he must be still angry about what happened two days ago. We might as well wait for his anger to subside. , it’s not too late to ask to see you again.”

Yuan Tan looked at Yuan Xi with a wry smile and said, "How do we know when he will calm down? We can't wait indefinitely, right?"

Yuan Xi stood up, walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, stopped and said to Yuan Tan: "Brother, according to my guess, the reason why Han Tinghou was in such a hurry to send the two of us away may be that he was going on an expedition. Qingzhou is just around the corner. In order to prevent being constrained by Xianfu and the others when sending troops, he must send us back to Bohai County as soon as possible."

"In this way, even though he is unwilling to see us today, as long as we continue to seek to see us tomorrow, he may see us." After Yuan Xi's analysis, Yuan Tan suddenly felt confident again: "In this case, Then you and I will visit Han Tinghou tomorrow morning, and hope that he can see us then."

After the two made up their minds, they went to see Han Zhan early the next morning.Han Zhan had just woken up, and when he heard Rob report that the Yuan brothers were asking to see him, he said calmly, "The Marquis still has some business to deal with, let them wait first."

It was almost noon when Han Zhan finished his business, and then he told Rob: "Rob, go and bring the Yuan brothers to Benhou."

The Yuan brothers who had been waiting outside for more than two hours were overjoyed when they saw Rob coming over and saying that Han Zhan wanted to see them.If Yuan Tan hadn't been penniless, he might have stuffed some gold and jewels into Rob's sleeve to express his inner gratitude.

Seeing Han Zhan sitting in the hall, the two quickly stepped forward and bowed to salute: "See Tinghou!"

"The two young masters are free!" Han Zhan looked up at the two of them and asked, "I heard that you are going to see the Marquis, do you know what's going on?"

After Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi looked at each other, they said cheekily: "Returning to Tinghou, didn't you say that you planned to send brother Yu back to Bohai County a few days ago? In the past two days, after repeated discussions between my two brothers, I feel that I can’t let down Marquis Ting’s good intentions, so I think it’s better to go back to Bohai County. Please be kind to Marquis Ting!”

Hearing Yuan Tan's plan to go back to Bohai County, Han Zhan couldn't help feeling ecstatic, but he still pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Since the two young masters want to go back to Bohai County, please do as you please. Come here!"

Following Han Zhan's shout, Rob hurried in and asked respectfully, "My lord, what orders do you have?"

Han Zhan pointed at Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi with his hand, and said, "The two Mr. Yuan are planning to go back to Bohai County. You should prepare two fast horses and rations for them immediately, and then send them on their way."

Seeing that Rob promised and was about to go out, Yuan Tan quickly stopped him, and then said to Han Zhan helplessly: "Han Tinghou, the journey to Bohai Sea is far away, and it is not peaceful. If my two brothers If you go on the road alone, it may be difficult to reach Balhae County safely."

"That's right, what my elder brother said makes sense." As soon as Yuan Tan finished speaking, Yuan Xi added, "Apart from the thieves who roamed the mountains and forests, the Yellow Turban thieves who hid among the people, and Gongsun Zan from Youzhou. As you know, My family and Gongsun Zan are mortal enemies, if the Youzhou Army finds out the identities of our two brothers, we may die without a place to die."

"I really didn't expect that the road from Yecheng to Bohai County would be so uneven." Han Zhan waited for Yuan Xi to finish speaking, and pretended to say: "Since this is the case, the two young masters might as well stay in Yecheng and wait for the road ahead." After peace, it will not be too late to return to Bohai County."

Yuan Tan didn't know that Han Zhan said this on purpose, and thought that the other party had really changed his mind, so he quickly said: "Han Tinghou, my two brothers have been bothering you for a long time, and it's time to go home. Although the journey is not peaceful , but if Tinghou is willing to send an escort, we will be able to reach Beihai County smoothly."

"Ask Benhou to send an army to escort you?" Han Zhan pretended to be surprised and said, "What if our army enters Beihai County and clashes with your brother's army?"

"Tinghou, don't worry." Yuan Tan patted his chest and said in order to persuade Han Zhan to send troops: "As long as my two brothers are here, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou will never have any conflicts with the Bohai Navy."

"Rob," Han Zhan felt that the heat was almost ready, and turned to ask Rob: "Are there any free generals in the city?"
