Three Kingdoms King of the North

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Han Zhan felt a little embarrassed. Since he came to Sheguo County, except for going to the brothel to find Guo Jia, he didn't even have a woman around him, and a maid appeared somewhere.

Just when he was about to order the yamen servant to drive away the person who was beating the grievance drum, Zhao Yun stood up and asked the yamen servant, "Did that woman ever say her name?"

The yamen servant tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said in an uncertain tone: "She seems to say that her name is Taohua, or something like a flower. I am in a hurry to come back and report to the envoy, but I didn't hear clearly for a while."

Before he finished speaking, Han Zhan already ran past him like a gust of wind, quickly ran out of the lobby, and ran towards the county office.Zhao Yun once heard Han Zhan mention pear blossoms, and seeing Han Zhan's big reaction, he guessed that it was this maid who came, and quickly ran out after him.

The nephew and uncle of the Xun family said they were Han Zhan's relatives, but they didn't know the name of the maidservant next to Han Zhan, but they couldn't continue to stand stupidly in the hall when they saw Han Zhan and Zhao Yun running out one after the other. They exchanged winks and walked out.

"Brother, who are the people outside?" There were only two Xiahou brothers and sisters left in the hall, and Xia Houyun asked Xiahoulan curiously: "Why did you make Jun and brother Yi go out?"

"I don't know." Xia Houlan replied honestly: "But since Shi Jun and Brother Yi have such a strong reaction, it must be someone they know, so let's go out and see."

When Han Zhan rushed out of the gate of the county yamen, he happened to see two yamen servants carrying a ragged, unkempt woman walking out.The woman waved a drumstick in her hand and shouted loudly: "Let me go, let me go, I want to see my son"

"Stop!" Although Han Zhan couldn't see the woman's face clearly, he heard the voice very familiarly, and shouted loudly at the two yamen servants, "Let her go."

After the two yamen servants let go of the woman, they automatically moved aside.The woman stared at Han Zhan for a long time, and the drumstick in her hand fell to the ground with a thud. She choked up and called out: "Master!" Then she fell down limply.

Sure enough, it was Lihua. After confirming the identity of the other party, Han Zhan rushed forward, hugged the familiar body in his arms, and shouted repeatedly: "Pear Blossom, Pear Blossom. I am the young master, please open your eyes and see I."

Lihua woke up leisurely, and saw clearly that she was lying in Han Zhan's arms, tears streaming down uncontrollably: "Master, Lihua finally found you."

"Pear Blossom, I'll go home with you, Young Master." After Han Zhan said this, he supported Li Blossom's shoulder with one hand and her foot with the other, and hugged her horizontally.Regardless of the surprised eyes of the people around him, he strode towards the county government office with Lihua in his arms.

Chapter 0082 Gongsun Zan sent troops

When Han Zhan entered the back hall with the pear blossom in his arms, he disturbed Patch who was instructing his subordinates to work. He hurried over and saw the pear blossom in Han Zhan's arms. He couldn't help being surprised: "Isn't this Miss Lihua? so embarrassed?"

Hearing someone calling her name, Li Hua, who was lying in Han Zhan's arms, opened her eyes, and when she saw clearly that the person standing in front of her was Patch, she forced a smile on her face and said weakly, "Patch, it's you! "

Patch went up to take Pear Blossom, but Han Zhan glared at him and said sternly, "Patch, hurry up and order the servants to prepare hot water for Pear Blossom, she needs to take a bath and change clothes." Patch hurriedly responded, Turned around and ran away.

Han Zhan carried Lihua back to his room, and carefully placed her on the bed.After sitting down beside the couch, he grabbed Lihua's shoulders, hugged her tightly, and asked with concern: "Lihua, can you tell me what happened and why you are in such a mess?"

Lihua looked at Han Zhan in a daze, she didn't dare to speak, she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would wake up from the dream and the young master in front of her would disappear without a trace.She was still thinking about the dream she had just had, and it felt so real. She went to beat the grievance drum by herself, and was dragged away from the front of the county government office by two yamen servants. Hug up.I even saw Patch who has been serving the young master.

Seeing that Lihua didn't speak, Han Zhan became a little anxious. He shook it vigorously twice, and asked anxiously, "Lihua, you are talking. What happened? Why are you in such a mess?"

The pain from her shoulder finally gave Lihua a real feeling. She finally knew that she was not in a dream, but had really come to her son's side.She threw herself into his arms sideways, and burst into tears: "My lord, my lord, Lihua thought I would never see you again."

Han Zhan hugged Lihua tightly in his arms, his nose felt a little sore: "Lihua, don't cry, tell me what happened, why did you leave Jizhou suddenly?"

Lihua cried for a while, looked up at Han Zhan, and said weepingly, "Young master, someone came to the house last month and sent the second wife a letter from the Fujun, telling the family to leave immediately to join him in Chenliu."

When Han Zhan heard this, he understood why his family left Jizhou without saying a word. It turned out that they had received a letter from Han Fu telling them to rush to Chenliu to meet up.He asked with concern: "What happened next?"

"We left Jizhou City in the early morning of the next day and headed south along the official road." Lihua wiped her tears and continued, "Unexpectedly, we were intercepted and killed by robbers in the evening. Me and the eldest lady, The second son fled out in a car. After we got out of danger, we found out that we had lost our way because we ran for our lives in a panic. Fortunately, the second son said that you are an official in Sheguo County, and proposed to go west along the official road , come here to join you."

"You were robbed by robbers?" Hearing this, Han Zhan couldn't help frowning and asked, "Have you seen who it is? Is it a yellow scarf thief?"

Lihua shook her head and continued: "I was sitting in the carriage with Miss and Second Young Master, when I suddenly heard someone shouting outside: The robbers are coming! Immediately after that, I heard fierce shouts of killing, as well as the screams of maidservants and servants." Fortunately, the coachman who drove the carriage was loyal and did not abandon us, but instead drove the carriage and took the three of us to escape.”

Han Zhan asked curiously, "Where is the coachman now?"

"Dead." Lihua said sadly, "When we escaped, we found out that the coachman had been shot by several arrows, and he was already dead."

"Later, how did you come to Sheguo County?" Han Zhan wiped away the tears on Lihua's face with one hand, and patted her on the back with the other hand: "Han Yan and the second brother are in the same place again. Where?"

"After walking along the official road for two days, the carriage suddenly broke down, and we had no choice but to abandon the carriage. The second son's legs and feet are not good, so we let him ride the horse. But it didn't take long for our money to be used up. It's over, and there's nothing to eat." At this point, Lihua suddenly lowered her head deeply, and said a little embarrassedly: "I can only bite the bullet and go begging in the villages along the way. Fortunately, there are kind-hearted villagers. Give us something to eat so we won't starve to death."

"Pear Blossom, I have wronged you." Han Zhan hugged Pear Blossom tightly in his arms again, and said apologetically, "For my younger siblings, I made you suffer."

"My lord, see what you said." Lihua raised her hand to wipe away her tears, leaned her head on Han Zhan's shoulder, and whispered, "Lihua was originally a maidservant of the Han family, and she should do such a thing."

Han Zhan was eager to know the news about his younger siblings, and he didn't care about his relationship with Lihua, so he asked anxiously, "Lihua, where are Han Yan and the second brother?"

Lihua looked up at Han Zhan and replied, "The two of them are hiding in an abandoned village in the north. I volunteered to come to the city to look for your son."

"Where are the horses?" Han Zhan naturally knew that the village Lihua mentioned was the village that was massacred by the Yellow Turban Bandits a few months ago, and that it was not close to the county seat, so he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why doesn't my second brother let you ride a horse?" Come here?"

"Master, don't get angry." Hearing Han Zhan's tone with a trace of anger, Lihua quickly explained: "It's not because the second son refused to give the horse to Lihua, but because Lihua couldn't ride a horse, so she could only walk. Come here."

While the two were talking, Patch brought a large wooden barrel into the room with two servants, and Liu Gui came in with them.Han Zhan hurriedly stood up and saluted Liu Gui: "I have seen the Lord!"

Liu Guichong nodded to Han Zhan, then sat down next to Lihua, stopped her shoulders, and said softly: "This little sister is in such a mess, she must have suffered a lot on the road." Having said that, she raised her head and looked at Han Zhan said, "Master, I want to help this sister take a bath, you should avoid it for a while."

Han Zhan was about to arrange for someone to pick up his younger siblings, when he heard what Liu Gui said, he nodded, turned and walked out of the room.

Back in the main hall, Han Zhan saw that everyone was still waiting here.He hurriedly bowed his hands to everyone and said, "I've kept you waiting for so long, sorry, sorry!"

Xun Yu asked on behalf of the crowd: "May I ask the envoy, who is the woman who was carried into the back hall by you just now?"

"It's my personal maid, Lihua." Han Zhan said seriously: "According to what she said, last month, my father sent someone to send a letter back to the mansion, asking the family to rush to Chenliu to meet him as soon as possible, so the family set off overnight. Who Knowing that he was intercepted and killed by robbers on the way, Lihua, my eldest sister and second brother escaped in a carriage while taking advantage of the chaos."

Xun Yu waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, and immediately asked impatiently, "Where are Yan'er and Bing'er now?"

"The two of them are in the abandoned village to the north at the moment." Han Zhan couldn't help but look at Xia Houyun on the right when he said this, and he asked politely: "Miss Xiahou, I wonder if you can bring a team to replace them?" I will go to the village in the north and pick them up back to the county?"

Although Han Zhan was only asking Xia Houyun in a negotiating tone, Xia Houyun rushed out of the queue immediately, handed over his luggage and said, "Please rest assured, Xia Houyun will definitely fulfill his mission."

As soon as Xia Houyun left, a yamen servant rushed in and handed a letter to Xun Yu.Xun Yu opened the letter and saw a look of surprise on his face. After reading the whole letter, he walked quickly to Han Zhan, put the letter on the table, and said a little excitedly: Your Majesty, please return carefully, Gongsun Zan dispatched troops five days ago, they have already descended to Linping and Fucheng, and the troops are pointing directly at Jizhou City."

Hearing that Gongsun Zan had sent troops, Han Zhan couldn't help showing joy on his face. He knew that his chance had come.As long as Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao are both injured in the fight, he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

But within 2 minutes of being happy, his mood became depressed again.Because there is no suitable reason to send troops yet, sending troops rashly will definitely backfire.

Chapter 0083 Han Fu's Sad News

Seeing Han Zhan's uncertain expression, Xun Yu guessed that he might be worried about sending troops, so he quickly reminded him, "Master, do you need to call the messenger in and ask Gongsun Zan for details about sending troops?"

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Han Zhan nodded quickly, and ordered the yamen servant standing aside: "Please come in the messenger from outside."

A moment later, a man in a black arrow suit stumbled into the lobby with the support of two yamen servants.Seeing the messenger who couldn't even stand still, Han Zhan quickly stopped him from saluting, but asked with concern: "Let me ask you, how many days have you been on the road?"

"Responding to Shijun's words," the messenger with a tired face quickly replied, "After leaving Jizhou, I hurried all the way to Sheguo County, and spent a full day and night on the way."

After hearing what the messenger said, Han Zhan said thoughtfully, "So, Gongsun Zan sent troops should have been six days ago."

The messenger simply replied: "Your Majesty is right, Gongsun Zan's army indeed went south six days ago."

"Let me ask you." As soon as the messenger finished speaking, Xun You couldn't help asking: "Gongsun Zan's army marched south from Anping, and if they wanted to reach Fucheng, they had to pass at least six or seven passes on the way. Why did Gongsun Zan's army make so little progress? So fast?"

Although the messenger saw that Xun You was wearing a black official uniform, he didn't know his identity, so he hesitated and didn't answer immediately.Seeing that the messenger didn't speak, Han Zhan knew that he didn't know whether he should answer Xun You's question, so he said to the messenger, "This is Shao Xun's mansion in this county. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."

"If you go back to the Shaofu," the messenger immediately replied respectfully after knowing that the person who asked the question was the Shaofu of this county: "The soldiers and generals of Jizhou along the passes all turned against each other. That's why Gongsun Zan's army can be without a single soldier." With one soldier, he conquered two cities twice within five days, and captured six or seven passes."

"The courier has worked hard all the way," Xun You waited for the courier to finish speaking, and immediately ordered the two yamen servants who supported him, "Both of you send him to the post station to rest."
