Three Kingdoms King of the North

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi couldn't help being overjoyed when they heard what Han Zhan said. They all knew that as long as they were led by generals, the number of troops would definitely not be small, so they all focused their attention on Rob and listened to his answer.

Rob pretended to frown and thought for a while, and then a surprised expression appeared on his face: "Master, I remembered, didn't the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang come to Yecheng to report to you two days ago? If they haven't left yet, Then they can escort the two Mr. Yuan to Bohai County."

"Yes, yes, the Marquis remembered it when you said it that way." Han Zhan put on a look of sudden realization and said, "They came to report on their work two days ago, and the Marquis was considerate of their tiredness and let them rest in Yecheng for a few days. Day, I must have not left at this moment. Rob, you go and have a look, and if the two of them are still there, call them here."

Yuan Tan knew that Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were his last hope, so when he saw Rob leave, he bowed his hands to him to express his gratitude.

Chapter 323

Brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang lived not far from Han Zhan's state pastoral mansion. It only took half a stick of incense for Rob to go out, and he brought them back.Seeing Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang entering the conference hall, Yuan Tan stepped forward to salute them a little recklessly: "You two Captain Lu, long time no see, are you okay?"

Seeing that Yuan Tan was greeting him, both Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang showed embarrassment on their faces. Although their brothers used to be Yuan Shao's subordinates, they have already taken refuge in Han Zhan.But Yuan Tan actually greeted him so enthusiastically in front of his lord, which made them feel in a dilemma.

Fortunately, Han Zhan saw this scene and knew that Yuan Tan was eager to get away, so he condescended to please the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, so he coughed lightly, and then said: "Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang!"

"The last general is here!" Hearing Han Zhan calling himself, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang hurriedly saluted with fists together.

"You two brothers accompanied me to escort the people back to Yecheng, and defeated Han Xian, Li Le and other Baibo soldiers on the way. This is a great achievement." Han Zhan looked at the two and said, "From now on, you two Ren is no longer a school lieutenant, but a general in the Jizhou army."

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang couldn't help but tremble when they heard that Han Zhan would not allow him to be the captain.When they heard that they had been promoted to generals, the two couldn't help showing joy on their faces, and they hurriedly saluted Han Zhan again: "Thank you, my lord! The general is willing to serve my lord, and I will go through fire or water."

"It's not enough to go through fire and water. The Marquis has an important errand, and I want to send you two to complete it." When Han Zhan said this, he looked at the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi beside him: "I wonder if you are willing?"

"Please tell me, my lord!"

Han Zhan pointed at Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi with his hands, and said, "I will give you three thousand soldiers and horses to escort the two Mr. Yuan back to Nanpi City in Bohai County. I will entrust you with the safety of the two of them." , if there are any mistakes, just come and see yourself!"

"Please rest assured, my lord!" Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang knew their mission a few days ago, and when they heard Han Zhan's announcement in public, they quickly agreed: "The final general will fulfill his mission and send the two Mr. Nanpi."

After explaining the characters to Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, Han Zhan turned to Yuan Tan and asked, "Master Yuan, when will you leave?"

"If Han Tinghou agrees, my two brothers plan to set off today." Yuan Tan couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard that Han Zhan asked Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to lead 3000 soldiers and horses to escort his two brothers to Nanpi.According to his idea, with these [-] troops, he would be invincible in the power struggle with Yuan Shang.

"Han Tinghou," Yuan Xi continued without waiting for Han Zhan's answer, "I have an unfeeling request. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Knowing that Yuan Xi was more thoughtful than Yuan Tan, Han Zhan must have interrupted at this time because he wanted to get the three thousand soldiers and horses out of his way, so he pretended to be confused and said, "Second Master Yuan, if you have anything to do, it's okay to say it."

"Han Tinghou, you should know that we have always had conflicts with the younger brother. He will definitely make things difficult for us when he sees us going to Nanpi." Yuan Xi asked cautiously: "I wonder if Han Tinghou can send brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to the palace?" The [-] soldiers and horses, lend us a period of time?"

"Yes, yes." Yuan Tan couldn't help but thumped in his heart when he heard Yuan Xi's words, and wondered why he had forgotten such an important matter.If Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang sent themselves to Nanpi and returned directly to Yecheng, wouldn't they and Yuan Xi still be lambs to be slaughtered?Thinking of this, he quickly echoed Yuan Tan and said, "Han Tinghou, I wonder if you can lend these 3000 troops to my two brothers for a while?"

"If you agree that you will not do anything that endangers Jizhou after borrowing troops, I can agree." After Han Zhan finished speaking, he looked at the Yuan brothers and asked, "I wonder if the two young masters agree with my proposal?"

"Han Tinghou, don't worry," Yuan Tan said quickly to Han Zhan: "My brothers borrowed troops just to gain a firm foothold in Nanpi, and we will never do anything harmful to Jizhou."

"Well, since Mr. Yuan said so, I agree to lend you Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's soldiers and horses. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang!" After Han Zhan agreed to Yuan Tan's request, he said to Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang. The man said: "After arriving in Nanpi, the two of you will obey the orders of Mr. Yuan, and he will follow the lead in everything. Do you understand?"

"The last will obey!"

After Han Zhan ordered Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, he said to Yuan Tan: "Master Yuan, I will lend you Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and the three thousand soldiers and horses they led for two months. After two months, Whether or not you get a foothold in Nanpi, they have to come back, can it be done?"

"Please don't worry, Marquis Ting." Hearing that Han Zhan was willing to lend his troops and horses to him for two months, Yuan Tan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said to Han Zhan: "Within two months, I will definitely let the two generals Lu lead the troops and horses back. Yecheng."

"It's getting late, you all go back and pack up. We'll leave in the afternoon." Han Zhan waved at the others and said, "Let's all step back."

When only Han Zhan and Huang Zhong were left in the conference hall, Huang Zhong asked cautiously: "Master, the general just heard you tell Yuan Tan that Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang only obey his orders. In this way Will it cause Yuan Tan to clash with his second brother Yuan Xi after gaining a firm foothold in Nanpi?"

Han Zhan didn't expect Huang Zhong to see his arrangement, so he said with a smile: "Han Sheng, the reason why I let Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang only obey Yuan Tan's order is to make the brothers quarrel, so no matter what Whoever controls Bohai County in the future will not be able to send troops to attack Jizhou."

"It turns out to be like this." After Huang Zhong figured out Han Zhan's intentions, he nodded and asked again: "My lord, if we want to capture Qingzhou, do we need to inform Xuzhou Mu Taoqian so that our army and the Xuzhou army will not have any conflicts?" Misunderstand?"

Hearing what Huang Zhong said, Han Zhan couldn't help being confused. He asked with a confused face, "What's the matter with Xuzhou if we take Qingzhou?"

"Don't you know, my lord, that if we attack Beihai County in Qingzhou, we may have a conflict with Xuzhou's garrison." Huang Zhong pointed to the map on the table and said, "The south of Qingzhou borders Xuzhou. There will be fears that there will be conflicts."

It only took half a stick of incense for Rob to go out, and he brought them back.Seeing Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang entering the conference hall, Yuan Tan stepped forward to salute them a little recklessly: "You two Captain Lu, long time no see, are you okay?"
