Three Kingdoms King of the North

After Xun Yu finished speaking, he walked quickly to the front of the hall, and waved away those idlers who were watching the fun at the door: "Okay, there is nothing for you here, let's go, let's go!"

After the people at the door dispersed one after another, Xun Yu returned to the lobby and walked in front of Aunt Gui and Sun Liang.He bowed deeply to Aunt Gui, and asked politely, "My lady, what do you call the late Anping King Liu Xu?"

"The late King Anping was the father of the slave family." Aunt Gui replied politely after wiping off the tears from her face, "The yellow scarves rebelled in the past and occupied Anping. Both the father and his family suffered. Only the slave family managed to escape from birth under the protection of County Captain Sun."

After confirming that the other party was the daughter of King Anping, Han Zhan also walked over. He first bent down to help Sun Liang who was kneeling on the ground, and said to him, "County Sun, get up and talk."

When Sun Liang stood up, Han Zhan turned to Aunt Gui and asked, "Aunt Gui, my envoy heard that after County Captain Sun led you out of Anping City, you were hunted down by a band of yellow scarf thieves, except for County Captain Sun who was alone. Except for those who escaped, the rest of the people were killed. I am very curious, how did you survive?"

Han Zhan's question was also the answer that Xun Yu, Sun Liang, Xia Houyun and others wanted to know, so everyone turned their attention to Aunt Gui, waiting patiently for her to give the answer.

Aunt Gui pursed her lips and said, "When the Yellow Turban Bandit came after him, fortunately, County Captain Sun led people to block the bandit desperately. The cook at home took me to take advantage of the chaos and flee to a nearby place to hide. After dark , The two of us returned to the place where we were separated from Lieutenant Sun, but we didn't expect to see corpses all over the floor.

The cook said that Anping City was occupied by Yellow Turban thieves, and the nearby villages were not safe, and that Yellow Turban thieves would come to harass the village at any time, so she took me back to her hometown.I had no choice but to live in seclusion with the cook in the mountain village, learn some cooking skills from the cook when I have nothing to do, and help people cook everywhere to make ends meet. "

"Where is the cook now?" Han Zhan was eager to find out whether the woman in front of him was really the daughter of Anping Wang Liu Xu, and wanted to find someone to prove her identity and experience: "Is it also in my backyard?"

Unexpectedly, Aunt Gui shook her head and replied: "The cook was killed by one of the men in black when she led people in black to rob the village and took everyone up the mountain to fall grass."

"Ah, the cook is dead?" Hearing that the cook who could be a witness has died, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Then who can prove your identity?"

"Return to Shijun's words," Han Zhan had just finished speaking, and Sun Liang who was standing aside said loudly, "I can prove that she is the daughter of King Anping."

Although Han Zhan and Aunt Gui didn't meet each other much, he could tell from the other party's conversation and behavior that the other party was from a famous family. Otherwise, when they first met in the cottage, he would not jokingly ask if the other party was from the Han family Clan.

"Han Shijun," Aunt Gui asked Han Zhan without changing her expression, "do you believe that I am the real Lord?"

"Believe it! I believe it!" Han Zhan stared at Aunt Gui intently, noticing that there was a hint of nobility between the other party's eyebrows, so he nodded and said with certainty: "I believe you are the real lord."

Facing Han Zhan's answer, Aunt Gui grinned, "To tell you the truth, I am the eldest daughter of King Anping, my surname is Liu and my name is Gui, and I am twenty-two years old."

After confirming each other's identities, Han Zhan and Xun Yu quickly knelt down and saluted Liu Gui.Liu Gui stood still and accepted the two people's kneeling.After the two got up, Liu Gui bowed to Han Zhan to salute, startled Han Zhan, quickly reached out to support him, and said in a panic: "My lord, don't be too polite, I can't bear your big gift. "

"Han Shijun, I have something to ask from my family." Liu Gui said sincerely: "Please punish the yellow scarf thief who killed my father and the whole family. In the next life, my family will definitely repay you even if it is tied with grass. Great kindness!" After finishing speaking, he was about to kneel down again.

Don't look at Liu Gui as a member of the royal family who is in trouble. Now he has no power or power, but after all, the innate status of others is there. How dare Han Zhan accept the gift from the other party? He quickly stretched out his hand to support the other party, and said loudly: "My lord, please rest assured, I will immediately order the servants to escort the yellow scarf thief to the street, and then take him to the execution ground for punishment."

After saying this, Han Zhan turned to face Sun Liang and said, "Captain Sun, I have appointed you as the prison officer to be responsible for cutting Lan Erqi's body into tens of thousands of pieces and avenging your old master. You No objection?"

Hearing that he was appointed prison officer, Sun Liang was overjoyed immediately, and he hurriedly saluted Han Zhan: "I would like to obey the order of the envoy."

Half a month later, Zhao Yun, who had wiped out the bandits and Yellow Turbans in the north of Sheguo County, returned to the county with his troops.Because of his two different ways of dealing with Qingyun Village and Jiusong Village, the bandits realized that if they wanted to fight the government army to the end, there was only a dead end. The bandits almost all waited for the wind to descend.

In less than 20 days, Zhao Yun recruited more than [-] bandits and yellow scarves, and seized money and food that could be used by Sheguo County for several years.And Hu Cha, who took the initiative to help Han Zhan recruit recruits, also sent a message back, saying that [-] recruits had been recruited in Ye County and other places, and they would rush back to Sheguo County in the near future.

Xun Yu was very happy when he heard the news. He said to Han Zhan: "Zhan'er, we have almost [-] soldiers and horses in our hands now, and the grain and grass that Guo Fengxiao bought from other places are also entering the county continuously. It looks like it's time for us to start preparing for the capture of Jizhou."

Don't look at the [-] soldiers and horses and sufficient food in hand, but Han Zhan didn't take it lightly. He knew that these were recruits who had not received any training. Sending them to the battlefield in a hurry is tantamount to letting them die.Therefore, after some careful consideration, he said to Xun Yu: "Uncle, from tomorrow onwards, let Dianwei and cousin Gongda lead troops to wipe out the bandits in the south of the city, while Zilong stays in the city and takes charge of the army. Train new recruits."

"Zhan'er's move is very kind." Xun Yu nodded in agreement with Han Zhan's arrangement: "After we wipe out all the bandits, our new recruits will also become soldiers with hundreds of battles, and the chances of winning the Yuan family will be even higher. gone."

Chapter 0078 Zhang Yan's Messenger

One day two months later, the main hall of Sheguo County.

Han Zhan sat in the middle, his uncle and nephew Xun and Guo Jia sat on the left side of his head, and Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Xiahou brothers and sisters sat on the right.They are celebrating Dian Wei and Xun You, who have just returned in triumph.

Han Zhan raised the wine bowl in his hand, gestured to everyone, and said, "Everyone, to celebrate the triumphant return of Dian Junhou and Xun Shaofu, please!" After speaking, he took the lead and drank it down.

Dian Wei put the wine bowl on the table, and then asked Han Zhan for instructions: "Your Majesty, the bandits and yellow scarves in the north and south of Sheguo County have been wiped out. I don't know when we will go to the east and west. Dian Wei is willing to help the envoy." You do the work of a dog and a horse."

"Dian Junhou, don't worry." Seeing Dian Wei's mood for fighting, Han Zhan said with a smile, "You just returned to the city today, so let's rest for a few more days before we talk about it."

After Han Zhan finished speaking, Xun You stood up and said, "Master, if we want to wipe out the bandits in the west, we may still need to collect ships so that our army can cross the river."

"No matter which direction we go to eliminate the bandits next, it is necessary to collect ships." Xun Yu continued: "After the bandits are wiped out, we still need to build a wharf in the west of the city, and trade with the outside world through the Zhangshui River."

Before Xun Yu could finish speaking, Luo Bu hurried in from the outside and bowed to report to Han Zhan, "I'd like to report to the envoy, Ping Nan Zhong Lang sent General Zhang's envoy to see him outside the county government office."

Han Zhan asked in surprise, "Who is General Zhang?"

Zhao Yun, who was sitting on the side, quickly explained to Han Zhan: "It's the leader of the Black Mountain Army, General Zhang Yan of the Pingnan Zhonglang."

It turned out that General Zhang that Rob was talking about was Zhang Yan. Han Zhan nodded and said, "Please hurry up!"

With little effort, Rob led the two of them into the main hall.One of them, wearing a black official robe, stepped forward to give Han Zhan a deep salute, and said politely, "Hu Zhi pays his respects to the state decree!"

When Han Zhan heard the name Hu Zhi, he felt quite familiar, but in a hurry, he didn't remember where he had heard it before.At this moment, brothers and sisters Zhao Yun and Xiahou who were sitting on the right stood up from their seats, bent down and saluted the visitor: "See Mr. Hu!"

The reaction of Zhao Yun and others immediately made Han Zhan understand who the person standing in front of him was, and it was Hu Zhi, the former Zhending county magistrate who had recruited more than 1000 recruits for Zhao Yun.He hurriedly returned the salute, and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that your Excellency is Mr. Hu. I didn't know Mr. Hu came, but Zhan never greeted him from afar. Please make amends."

Xun Yu also stood up and saluted Hu Zhi: "It turns out that it is Hu Zhi Hu De. Xun Yu in Xiayingchuan was an official with his father Hu Tongda."

"It turned out to be Mr. Xun." Hu Zhi heard that the official in front of him was Xun Yu, who was an official with his father, and hurriedly saluted: "I don't know, please make atonement."

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Hu Zhi called the man in armor who was following behind him, and introduced to Han Zhan, "Mr. Han, let me introduce you. Du Chang, the school lieutenant under the general's command, is the one who escorted me here to meet the envoy."

"It turned out to be Lieutenant Du, Han was rude." Han Zhan cupped his hands at the other party, "Please sit down and drink!"

After Hu Zhi sat beside Xun Yu and Du Chang sat next to Zhao Yun, Han Zhan immediately ordered his servants to serve them new food and wine.After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, he asked, "Shijun Hu, when I heard that you abandoned your official position in the past, Zhan still regretted not being able to get acquainted with such a hero like you. Today I can Seeing you here, I will be so clear!"

After Xun Yu waited for Hu Zhi to accompany Han Zhan to drink a bowl of wine, he asked curiously, "De, I don't know why you are here as General Zhang's envoy today?"

Hu Zhi got up quickly, saluted Han Zhan and said, "Han Envoy, under the orders of General Zhang, come to form an alliance with you."

"Alliance with me?!" Hearing what Hu Zhi said, Han Zhan couldn't help but his eyes lit up. You must know that Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army has millions of people, and at least 10,000+ elite soldiers can be selected from them. Defeating Yuan Shao will increase the odds of winning.But he thought about it again, he was an unknown junior, how could Zhang Yan suddenly send someone to form an alliance with him?So he asked curiously: "Mr. Hu, why did General Zhang think of forming an alliance with Zhan?"

Hu Zhi smiled and said: "Since Yuan Shao moved into Jizhou, the Black Mountain Army with millions of people has become a thorn in his side, and sooner or later he will get rid of it sooner or later. Han Shijun's father once led Jizhou, the old departments of various counties and counties. There are many, I believe that as long as the envoy ascends to the top, there will be a lot of people responding. General Zhang is sincerely forming an alliance with the envoy, but I don't know what the envoy will do?"

This incident happened so suddenly that Han Zhan was a little at a loss. He bowed his head and pondered for a while, thinking about the pros and cons of forming an alliance with Zhang Yan in his mind.

Seeing that Han Zhan did not speak for a long time, Hu Zhi went on to say: "The envoy should understand that Yuan Shi gave you the post of national order just to win people's hearts. If he really controls the entire Jizhou and wipes out the Black Mountain Army, the next The goal is to make you happy."

Guo Jia had never spoken at today's banquet, but seeing Hu Zhi repeatedly persuading Han Zhan and Zhang Yan to relieve their boredom, he calmly waved the feather fan in his hand in his seat and quietly observed what Han Zhan would do such a decision.

When Xun Yu saw that Han Zhan had been silent for a long time, he couldn't help feeling anxious.He hurriedly said to Han Zhan: "My envoy, if we form an alliance with General Zhang, we will be as stable as a rock in the future, and we will have no worries when we send troops to Jizhou."

When Han Zhan heard what Xun Yu said, he didn't speak, but first turned his eyes to the right side to see how Zhao Yun and the others would react.Brothers and sisters Zhao Yun and Xiahou were both from Changshan, so they naturally knew the strength of the Black Mountain Army operating in that area. All three of them looked at Han Zhan eagerly, hoping that he would agree to the alliance request.

From the expressions of the three, Han Zhan guessed what was on their minds, but he didn't speak, but turned his eyes to Uncle Xun and Guo Jia on the left.The expressions of Xun's uncles and nephews were similar to those of Zhao Yun and the others, they all looked at themselves anxiously, waiting for themselves to make a final decision.As for Guo Jia, like a normal person, he just sat there shaking his feather fan, putting on an expression that had nothing to do with him.

After observing everyone's expressions, Han Zhan finally made up his mind.He nodded and said decisively: "Mr. Hu, Mr. Han has decided to form an alliance with General Zhang. But does General Zhang have any additional conditions?"

Guo Jia, who was sitting on the side, heard Han Zhan's statement that he would form an alliance with Zhang Yan, the feather fan in his hand paused for a moment, and soon continued to fan it.Han Zhan, who was listening to Hu Zhi's explanation of Zhang Yan's additional conditions, took time to glance at Guo Jia's expression, but saw that he didn't respond at all, as if he didn't see or hear what happened in the main hall at all.

Chapter 0079 Han Zhan's Plan

Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Han Zhan couldn't help sneering inwardly.After Hu Zhi finished talking about Zhang Yan's conditions, he turned his head to Guo Jia and asked abruptly, "I don't know what advice Feng Xiao made to General Zhang's conditions?"
