Three Kingdoms King of the North

"Zhang Yang?!" After repeating the name, Guo Jia shook his head and said, "We have already made an appointment with him to meet today. With his personality, how could he arrange a group of people to ambush here before the meeting? Yi Jiazhi See, the mastermind behind the scenes must be someone else."

"Who could it be?" After hearing Guo Jia's words, Han Zhan began to think about who was going to put himself to death.He tentatively asked: "Could it be that Zhang Yang's subordinates did it?"

"It's possible." Guo Jia nodded and replied, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that our meeting with Zhang Yang was probably for the purpose of forming an alliance. Some people don't want to see us form an alliance, so they come out." This is the worst strategy, to ambush people in advance to deal with us."

Han Zhan thought that many of his soldiers died in this attack, and he was almost in an accident, so he gritted his teeth and said, "If this lord knows who the mastermind behind the scenes is, this lord will definitely tear him into pieces." .”

"My lord, please don't worry." Guo Jia tried to force a smile on his face and said, "Jia has ordered General Ziman to keep a few alive, so that we can find out who is trying to put us to death."

The second platoon and the third batch of cavalry who crossed the river joined Dian Wei's assault troops one after another, and defeated the bandits who were already at the end of their strength.In less than an hour, except for a dozen captured, the rest were killed by Dian Wei.

Han Zhan led the fourth batch of cavalry to join Dian Wei's soldiers and horses in front of the shed.Seeing the bandit soldiers kneeling on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs, he asked Dian Wei, "Have you been interrogated?"

Dian Wei nodded, "I have asked, but their mouths are very strict, and no one will confess. My lord, can you kill them all?"

"If we kill all the people, how will we know who the main messenger is?" Dian Wei's proposal was rejected by Han Zhan without hesitation.

Seeing that Han Zhan disagreed with his proposal, Dian Wei asked with some embarrassment: "My lord, but they are not willing to confess, what should we do?"

"It's not easy." Han Zhan pouted at Guo Jian, who was beside him, and said to Dian Wei, "Mr. Feng Xiao has always been resourceful, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to come up with a good plan for you."

One word awakened the dreamer, and Han Zhan's words enlightened Dian Weiru.He quickly came to Guo Jia, bowed his hands and asked politely: "Mr. Feng Xiao, dare to ask, is there any good way to make these bandits confess to the mastermind behind it?"

Chapter 346

Just when Han Zhan was furious, a horse suddenly came running from a distance.Dian Wei recognized the scout horse he had sent with his own eyes, and quickly said to Han Zhan, "My lord, the scout horse sent by the last general has returned. He seems to have heard something."

Han Zhan turned his head and glanced at the Tanma who was approaching, and said angrily, "Ziman, go ask and see what news he has heard."

Knowing that Han Zhan was on fire at the moment, Dian Wei quickly agreed respectfully, "I will obey!" Then he got on his horse and headed towards the direction the horse came from.

Just as Dian Wei left, Rob, who had been missing for a long time, appeared from nowhere. He limped to Han Zhan's side and asked with concern, "Master, are you alright?"

"Benhou is all right?" Han Zhan frowned when he saw that Rob was limping, and asked, "What's wrong with your leg? Did it hurt again?"

Rob grinned and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. I'm fine. I accidentally sprained my foot when I was chasing and killing the bandit soldiers. Just rest for a while."

Seeing Rob appearing in front of him, a smile appeared on Han Zhan's face.He looked at Rob and said jokingly, "I thought you had hurt your vitals again. If this is the case, Bagu will not marry you even more."

Guo Jia, who was standing aside, heard that Han Zhan was teasing Rob, and knew that the anger in the other party's heart had subsided a lot, so he said smoothly, "My lord, what should we do next? Should we send someone to question Zhang Yang? Let him Give us a reasonable explanation for this matter."

Han Zhan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Feng Xiao is right, we can't suffer from being dumb. Later, we will send people to send these captives to Shangdang, and ask Zhang Yang to explain to us what is going on. "

As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, he heard Dian Wei shouting from a distance: "My lord, my lord!" Han Zhan turned his head and saw Dian Wei coming on horseback, so he muttered, "What happened, let me Ziman yelled like that."

Dian Wei rode his horse and rushed up to Han Zhan, got off his horse, and said out of breath, "My lord, let me tell you that there is a group of horses coming towards us fifteen miles away. Look at the banner." It's a banner to flaunt."

"It's just in time." Han Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "The Marquis is planning to settle accounts with him, but I didn't expect him to come to your door. Ziman, get on the horse immediately, and we'll kill him."

"Wait a minute, my lord." When he heard that Zhang Yang was coming here with people, Guo Jia felt something was wrong, as if something had gone wrong.Seeing that Han Zhan was about to take someone to fight Zhang Yang, he quickly interrupted and said, "Don't be impulsive, let's figure out what's going on."

"Feng Xiao, don't you know?" Han Zhan said dissatisfiedly, "Zhang Yang brought people here just to see if Benhou has been killed by the bandit soldiers he ambushed here."

After Guo Jia waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, he quickly waved his hands: "My lord, don't be impatient. Please ask General Ziman before Jia. General Ziman," he said to Dianwei, "I Let me ask you, how many people did Zhang Yang bring?"

What Guo Jia said stopped Dian Wei at once.He only heard that Tan Ma said that Zhang Yang was leading people here, and he hurried back to report to Han Zhan without caring about asking.He replied with a wry smile: "I don't know very well!"

Seeing that Dian Wei couldn't answer this question, Guo Jia continued to ask: "Are the people who came with Zhang Yang infantry or cavalry?"

"" Dian Wei was a little confused, he didn't expect that he couldn't answer the two consecutive questions Guo Jia asked.

At this time, he realized that it seemed a bit too early for him to come to report, and he hurried back before Tanma finished speaking.In fact, he can't be blamed for this. After all, he just had a fight with Zhang Yang's subordinates. Now that he heard that Zhang Yang was leading people here, how can he hold his breath? Naturally, he rushed back to report the news to Han Zhan. .

From the conversation between Guo Jia and Dian Wei, Han Zhan realized that he was a little too impulsive, and he wanted to order someone to rush forward before he figured out what was going on.Thinking of this, he said to Dianwei: "Ziman, call that Tanma over, I want to ask him personally." Dian Wei blushed and agreed, and quickly waved for Tanma who was standing not far away to come over.

Han Zhan waited for Tan Ma to kneel down in front of him, and then asked, "My lord asks you, how many people did Zhang Yang bring?"

"Back to my lord," Tan Ma replied clearly, "There are about two hundred people."

"Are you bringing cavalry or infantry?"

Tan Ma thought for a while and replied: "The soldiers are all infantry, and the military officials are all riding horses. There are more than 20 people."

"What, more than 20 military officials came together?" Guo Jia couldn't help interjecting when he heard this detail, "You read it right, right?"

"Back to Mr. Guo," Tan Ma turned to Guo Jia, and replied respectfully, "The officer wears a black robe, and the military officer wears a red official uniform. You can see clearly from a long distance, and you can't make a mistake." .”

When he learned that the military officials traveling with Zhang Yang were all wearing robes instead of armor, Han Zhan felt more and more that there might be something wrong with his original judgment.He quickly asked Guo Jia for advice: "Feng Xiao, tell me, what should we do next?"

"My lord, I still don't know what Zhang Yang's origin is!" Out of caution, Guo Jia said to Han Zhan: "Let General Ziman assemble the soldiers and horses, take the prisoners, and let's go see the prefect Zhang Yang. "

Fifteen miles, it sounds like a long way, but if the two sides are going in the same direction, the time spent will be greatly reduced.After half an hour, the two sides could vaguely see each other.When there were still two miles away, Zhang Yang's team suddenly stopped, and then a general in red robe rushed out of the team, heading towards Han Zhan's team.

Seeing that the opponent had stopped advancing, Han Zhan quickly ordered his cavalry to stop as well, and formed a formation on the spot to ensure that they could advance, attack, retreat and defend.Just after setting up the formation, Zhang Yang's generals had rushed to a place not more than [-] steps away from Han Zhan. After the opponent restrained his mount, he asked loudly, "Who are you?"

"We are Jizhou Mu's subordinates!" Dian Wei replied loudly to the other party, and then asked back: "Who are you?"

When the general heard that the soldiers and horses in front of him were from Jizhou, he frowned and asked again: "Didn't you say that each side can only bring two hundred soldiers? Why do you seem to have thousands of soldiers?"

No one answered the other party's question, but Han Zhan raised his voice and asked, "Who are you?"

The general said loudly: "A certain is Sui Gu, the school captain under the command of Zhang Taishou of the Shangdang."

"It turned out to be Lieutenant Suigu, how disrespectful and disrespectful!" Han Zhan said a few times in a strange voice, and then asked, "Why did Zhang Taishou not come here, but sent you here?"

"The final general will see Mr. Han!" Sui Gu asked politely after saluting to Han Zhan on his horseback: "Mr. Han, we have agreed in advance that the number of entourages brought by both parties should not exceed 200. Why did Mr. Han want What about breaking the agreement?"

"Humph!" Hearing what Sui Gu said, Dian Wei snorted heavily, and said angrily: "If we had followed the agreement and only brought 200 people, we would have become a cold corpse long ago, and there are almost Are you talking too much here?"

Sui Gu was taken aback by Dian Wei's words. He looked at Dian Wei and said in a daze, "General, where do you start with this?"

"Captain Suigu, it's up to Ben Hou to explain this to you." Han Zhan sneered, and said to Sui Gu: "Ben Hou took two hundred cavalry and went to the meeting shed to wait for the arrival of Zhang Taishou. Who knows Zhang Taishou He didn't come, but a group of bandits emerged from the ground to besiege Benhou. If it wasn't for the desperate guards under Benhou's command, and the soldiers and horses from Hedong came to the rescue in time, I am afraid that Benhou would have died by now."

Sui Gu stared at Han Zhan with wide eyes in surprise, wondering whether Han Zhan's words were true or just a joke.After a long time, he tentatively asked: "Does Mr. Han think that those thieves are soldiers and horses of my Shangdang?"

Han Zhan did not entangle Sui Gu on this issue, but winked at Rob next to him.Rob, who understood, immediately shouted to the back: "Bring those captives up."

After a while, the dozen or so bandit soldiers who survived were pushed in front of Sui Gu.Han Zhan said coldly: "Lieutenant Suigu, these are the bandits who attacked this Marquis. Take a good look, is there anyone you know?"

Sui Gu looked down at the bound captives from a high position, and sure enough, he found that two of them looked familiar. Although they couldn't remember their names, it was absolutely certain that these people were from Shangdang.Sui Gu took a deep breath, clasped his fists at Han Zhan, and saluted: "Han Fujun, the general already knows what's going on. Please wait a moment, the general will invite Zhang Taishou over immediately."

Han Zhan waited for Tan Ma to kneel down in front of him, and then asked, "My lord asks you, how many people did Zhang Yang bring?"

"Back to my lord," Tan Ma replied clearly, "There are about two hundred people."

"Are you bringing cavalry or infantry?"

Tan Ma thought for a while and replied: "The soldiers are all infantry, and the military officials are all riding horses. There are more than 20 people."
