Three Kingdoms King of the North

Dong Zhao was originally Yuan Shao's subordinate. After Yecheng fell, he fled with Yuan Shao. Later, he felt that Yuan Shao's strength was exhausted, so he and Xin Pi left Yuan Shao on the way.The only difference is that Simpi went to Bohai County, while he went to Shangdang to join Zhang Yang.

As soon as Dong Zhao arrived, Zhang Yang handed over Han Zhan's letter, and asked at the same time, "Gongren, this is a letter sent by the herdsmen of Jizhou. He intends to talk to me by the Zhangshui River. What do you think?" "

After reading the letter, Dong Zhao pondered for a while, and then said: "Prefect, since the Lord Han defeated Yuan Shao, Li Jue and Guo Si, his power has become stronger and his threat to us has become greater and greater. If you want to survive in troubled times , can only be attached to the strong, and Lord Han is nothing more than a good choice."

After Zhang Yang waited for Dong Zhao to finish speaking, he asked tentatively, "So, Gongren also thinks that this general should meet with Lord Han to find a way out for the future?"

Dong Zhao felt that the only way to avoid angering Han Zhan was to arrange for Zhang Yang to meet him, so he expressed his true thoughts without hesitation: "This subordinate has exactly the intention."

"Since Gongren also thinks the same way, I will send the messenger back to Sheguo County tomorrow, and let him report to Mr. Han that I am willing to meet at the bank of the Zhang River." After Zhang Yang finished these two sentences, he ordered Dong Zhao : "I will leave this matter to you."

The messenger hurried back to Sheguo County with Zhang Yang's letter.After reading Zhang Yang's letter, Guo Jia looked at Han Zhan and asked, "My lord, Uncle Zhang Zhi agreed to our request. He will meet my lord by the Zhangshui River in three days. It seems that he also realized that he is alone. If you don't maintain a good relationship with us, you may have your life in danger."

After Han Zhan heard this, he just nodded slightly, and then told Huahu: "Magistrate Hua, immediately order to clear the boundary [-] miles west of the Zhanghe River and build a pergola. I plan to meet Zhang Taishou there."

"My subordinate obeys." Hearing Han Zhan's order, Hua Hu quickly replied, "My subordinate will arrange manpower to go to the meeting place and set up the pergola. The pergola can be erected at noon tomorrow at the latest."

After Hua Hu left, Han Zhan looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Feng Xiao, tell me, what conditions should be discussed when Ben Hou meets Zhang Yang?"

Hearing Han Zhan's question, Guo Jia didn't answer immediately, but smiled and asked, "My lord, do you think you will persuade Uncle Zhang Zhi to surrender when you meet him for the first time, will he agree?"

"No." To Guo Jia's question, Han Zhan replied without hesitation: "Don't look at Ben Hou's military strength, but Uncle Zhang Zhi knows very little about Ben Hou, even if Ben Hou asked to persuade him to surrender, he would refuse. Rather than hitting a wall, it is better to let nature take its course and make friends with him first, so that he will not be behind when our army sends troops to Qingzhou."

Huahu's work efficiency is not low, so early the next morning, he came to see Han Zhan.Han Zhan thought that there was some problem in building the pergola, and he was still muttering in his heart: This Huahu is really unreliable, so let him build a pergola, there are so many things that can't be handled.

Seeing Han Zhan coming out, Hua Hu quickly stepped forward to salute, saying, "This subordinate has seen the lord!"

"Magistrate Hua," Han Zhan asked after sitting down in the middle, looking at Huahu, "but did you encounter any difficulties in building the pergola?"

Unexpectedly, Hua Hu shook his head after hearing this, and said, "Master, you must have underestimated your subordinates. A mere pergola is nothing to worry about. After the craftsmen rushed to work all night, it has been completed at this moment. The subordinates are here to invite the Lord. to inspect."

Knowing that the pergola had been completed, Han Zhan quickly ordered Guo Jia and Dian Wei to be called, and led [-] cavalrymen towards the Zhanghe River.When we got to the riverside, there were three big boats parked on the pier by the riverside. Huahu respectfully said to Han Zhan, "My lord, please get on the boat!"

Although it is a big ship, it is only in relative terms.Each boat can only carry 50 people and the same number of horses.If all the troops led by Han Zhan wanted to cross the river, the boats would have to go back and forth several times.

The messenger sent by Han Zhan arrived at Shangdang two days later.

Knowing the messenger Han Zhan sent to him, Zhang Yang was very surprised. After reading the letter, he politely asked someone to take the messenger to rest, and then ordered his subordinates to invite the counselor Dong Zhao over.

Dong Zhao was originally Yuan Shao's subordinate. After Yecheng fell, he fled with Yuan Shao. Later, he felt that Yuan Shao's strength was exhausted, so he and Xin Pi left Yuan Shao on the way.The only difference is that Simpi went to Bohai County, while he went to Shangdang to join Zhang Yang.

Chapter 344 Alliance

After inspecting the pergola where they met, Han Zhan led the people back.

While waiting to board the boat by the river, Rob came to Han Zhan, summoned up his courage and said to Han Zhan, "My lord, do you know everything?"

"What's the matter?" Rob's nonsensical words made Han Zhan startled, and then he understood what was going on when Rob asked, and couldn't help but smile: "That's right, that's right, Feng Xiao has already told Ben Hou. "

Rob asked this because he watched Guo Jia and Han Zhan whispering from a distance, and was afraid that his little secret would be leaked, so he came to Han Zhan to find out.Unexpectedly, his worries were not superfluous, and Guo Jia had already told Han Zhan about his little privacy.

Seeing Rob's embarrassed face, Han Zhan raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder twice, saying, "Don't worry, when I get back to Yecheng, I will ask Doctor Hua and Doctor Zhang to treat you for you. With the two The medical skills of a miraculous doctor, within a month, are guaranteed to make you alive and well, and at that time, Ba Gu can't get out of bed again."

Rob was shattered by what Han Zhan said, and knowing that he would be able to regain his glory in the near future, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he just smirked at Han Zhan.

When the group returned to the county government, Guo Jia and Dian Wei began to discuss how many soldiers and horses should be sent to guard tomorrow.According to Dian Wei's idea, for the sake of safety, all the [-] cavalry brought out from Yecheng this time were taken with him, so that even if Zhang Yang came up with any tricks, he could deal with them calmly.

In order to get Han Zhan to agree to bring all the soldiers and horses with him, Dian Wei went to persuade Han Zhan, "Master, if you bring all three thousand cavalry, don't say that Zhang Yang brings the same number of soldiers and horses, it will count as ten times as many. A certain person is also confident that they will be wiped out."

Regarding Dian Wei's statement, Han Zhan didn't think he was bragging at all.Since the cavalry in Jizhou was equipped with high and low saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry has increased exponentially.Even if they meet Gongsun Zan's proud Baima Yicong, let alone one-on-one, even one-on-two, one-on-three, they are sure to win.

But tomorrow's meeting with Zhang Yang is for the sake of friendship between the two sides, not for war. If he takes three thousand cavalry to show off his power, it may arouse Zhang Yang's disgust.Thinking of this, Han Zhan shook his head and said, "No, Ben Hou will meet Zhang Yang tomorrow, and only two hundred cavalry are enough. Also, Feng Xiao and Luo Bu can go with Ben Hou. You and Hua Hu stay on the east bank .”

"My lord," Dian Wei became impatient when he heard that Han Zhan said he would not let him go, "You have only 200 people with you, what should you do if something unexpected happens?"

"Don't worry, even if something happens, two hundred cavalry will be enough to cover the Marquis out of danger." In order to reassure Dian Wei, Han Zhan then said to him: "Tomorrow you and Huahu will lie in ambush on the east bank of the Zhang River. There will be two flag bearers on the west bank, and if something happens, both flag bearers will wave the flag at the same time. If you see two flags waving at the same time on the west bank, immediately cross the river and come to the rescue."

Knowing that Han Zhan did not abandon himself, but let himself stay on the east bank to wait for orders, Dian Wei smiled again, and he quickly and loudly agreed: "Your subordinate obeys orders."

Guo Jia waited for Dianwei to leave, and said to Han Zhan with a smile: "My lord, General Ziman is worried about your safety. If you really let him stay in the city, you will definitely kill him. That's good too." , Let him go to the river to enjoy the breeze, and he will feel more at ease in his heart."

In the early morning of the next day, Han Zhan left Sheguo County with Guo Jia, Luo Bu, and [-] cavalrymen and headed towards the Zhanghe River.When they arrived at the river, the boats for crossing the river were already ready to stop. Just when Han Zhan ordered people to board the boat, Fan Si, dressed as a fisherman's girl, appeared from nowhere. She looked at Han Zhan on the horse and asked, "Han Zhan Your Majesty, where are you going?"

Han Zhan pointed at the opposite bank with the whip in his hand, and said, "This Marquis is going to meet a friend on the other bank. Miss Xiaofan, you got up so early, are you going out to go fishing?"

Han Zhan was just asking casually, but Fan Si nodded and said, "That's right, I'm going to go fishing with Daddy."

After chatting with Fan Si for a few words, Han Zhan boarded the boat and crossed the river.Guo Jia looked at Fan Si who was standing on the bank, and said to Han Zhan with a smile: "My lord, Jia sees how much this woman means to you. I wonder if my lord intends to take her as a concubine?"

When crossing the river yesterday, Huahu mentioned this matter to Han Zhan, but Han Zhan changed the subject.Unexpectedly, Guo Jia brought up the old matter again today, Han Zhan coughed twice, and said with some embarrassment: "Feng Xiao, we are here today to meet with Zhang Yang, and don't mention other things for now."

"Understood." Seeing that Han Zhan's face was blushing, Guo Jia said understandingly, "Let's go meet Zhang Yang first. As for the matter of taking a concubine, it won't be too late to discuss it when we come back."

After inspecting the pergola where they met, Han Zhan led the people back.

While waiting to board the boat by the river, Rob came to Han Zhan, summoned up his courage and said to Han Zhan, "My lord, do you know everything?"

"What's the matter?" Rob's nonsensical words made Han Zhan startled, and then he understood what was going on when Rob asked, and couldn't help but smile: "That's right, that's right, Feng Xiao has already told Ben Hou. "
