Three Kingdoms King of the North

After the envoy left, Xun You turned to Han Zhan and said, "My lord, if what the envoy said is true, then the army and people of Jizhou have not returned their hearts to the Yuan family. Otherwise, Gongsun Zan's army would not be as powerful as a broken bamboo."

Han Zhan took the map, greeted several people to the table, and said to them: "Everyone, judging from the current situation, Gongsun Zan's army will reach the east of Jizhou in four or five days at most, and the Yuan family will definitely lead the way." The soldiers rushed out to Jieqiao to face the invading Gongsun Zan."

If Han Zhan had said these words a few days ago, although the few Wu present would not have said anything, they would definitely have disapproved of what he said.At this moment, seeing that Gongsun Zan really sent troops, and had to compete with Yuan Shao, he realized that Han Zan, the envoy, was really good at predicting the situation, and he could analyze the situation so thoroughly.

After Xia Houlan and Han Zhan finished analyzing the situation of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, they couldn't wait to ask, "Master, when can we go out to the east to capture Jizhou?"

"Young Master Xiahou," Han Zhan replied with a bitter face when he heard Xiahoulan's question, "We haven't found a reason to send troops yet, and sending troops rashly is nothing but a failure."

"Then what should we do," Xia Houlan asked anxiously: "We can't just sit here and do nothing, right? In that case, we are likely to miss the opportunity."

"Xun County Prime Minister, Xun Shao's Mansion." Han Zhan said to his uncle and nephew Xun solemnly: "You two arrange civilian husbands as soon as possible to transport the food and grass needed by the army to the warehouse along the way, so that the army can use it when it passes by. "

Then he ordered Zhao Yun and Dian Wei: "Zilong, Dian Wei, you and others are responsible for building siege equipment, in order to prepare for the need to capture Jizhou."

Not long after the crowd dispersed, Xia Houyun brought Han Yan and Han Bing into the main hall.

"Brother!" Seeing Han Zhan standing in the middle of the main hall, Han Yan shouted, rushed forward and hugged Han Zhan tightly, crying bitterly: "I thought I would never see you again."

Han Zhan hugged Han Yan, his nose was sore, he patted her on the back lightly, comforted her and said: "Sister Yan, it's okay, you are in the territory of the elder brother, the elder brother will protect you, and will never let you No one bullies you." After saying this, he nodded to Xia Houyun who was standing not far away, and said politely, "Miss Xiahou, thank you very much!"

Xia Houyun didn't speak, just smiled sweetly, then turned and left.

Han Zhan cast his eyes on Han Bing who was dazed aside, and said to him, "Second Brother, how is your leg? Can you walk?"

Han Bing limped over, shouted with red eyes: "Brother!" Then he hugged Han Zhan tightly.

After the three separated, Han Yan asked curiously, "Brother, Miss Xiahou who just came to pick me up and my second brother is our future sister-in-law, right?"

"What future sister-in-law?" Han Zhan was taken aback by Han Yan's words. Although Zhao Yun was a matchmaker some time ago and recommended Xia Houyun to him, he didn't agree at all.Hearing Han Zhan's question at this moment, he quickly corrected him and said, "He is Zilong's righteous sister. I have to ask her to pick you up because of all kinds of troubles."

After listening to Han Zhan's explanation, Han Yan showed the original expression on her face, but she said playfully, "Brother, I think this Xiahou girl is pretty good, she is beautiful, and she speaks kindly. Why don't you make mistakes and make mistakes? Marry her."

"That's right, big sister is right." As soon as Han Yan finished speaking, Han Bing also joined in the fun: "Brother, why don't you marry Miss Xiahou as our sister-in-law."

The sad atmosphere was diluted by the jokes between the three siblings.Han Zhan approached Han Yan and smelled it, then slapped his nose with his hand, and said pretending to be disgusted: "I said, sister Yan, how long has it been since you took a bath, and you smell sour. It happened that Lihua was in the backyard Take a bath, and you should hurry up and take a shower, too."

Women love beauty, and Miss Han is no exception. Hearing that Han Zhan said that she had a sour smell, she exclaimed and trotted towards the back hall.Han Zhan saw that Han Bing's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he helped him walk to the back hall, and asked with concern on the way: "Second brother, didn't Master Hua say that as long as you apply his medicine, your legs will return to normal?" ?”

Hearing Han Zhan's question, Han Bing showed an angry expression on his face: "According to what Doctor Hua said, my legs will return to normal after only ten days and a half months of training. Who would have thought such a big change would happen? My legs have been bumpy for half a month, and I haven't changed the dressing in time, so I probably won't be able to return to normal."

Two days later, Xizuo, who was sent by Xun Yu to Chenliu, rode back to Sheguo County in person and reported the bad news to Han Zhan.

Hearing that there was a detailed work from Chen Liu, Han Zhan quickly called him into the main hall, and asked bluntly, "Quickly tell me, there is news from the Fujun."

Xi Zuo knelt down in front of Han Zhan with a plop, kowtowed his head several times, and said in a panic, "Reply to Shi Jun, something happened to Fu Jun."

Hearing that something happened to Han Fu, Han Zhan couldn't help feeling secretly happy. Knowing this, he finally had a legitimate reason to send troops.He hurriedly walked around the table and came to Xiaozuo, pretending to be nervous and asked: "Tell me, what happened to my father?"

"Responding to the envoy's words," Xizuo said nervously, "The Fujun committed suicide in the Chenliu prefect's mansion a few days ago."

Hearing that Han Fu committed suicide, the boulder hanging in Han Zhan's heart finally fell to the ground.But in order to show the true reaction of a son when he heard the news of his father's death in front of everyone, he deliberately yelled, then shook his body on the spot, closed his eyes tightly and fell back.

Before he fell to the ground, Zhao Yun, who had a quick reaction, rushed over and supported his body.Zhao Yun didn't know Han Zhan's reaction, and he pretended to show everyone. Seeing Han Zhan with his eyes closed, he couldn't help shouting anxiously: "Master, sir, wake up!"

Chapter 0084 There are three types of unfilial piety

Han Zhan opened his eyes and saw Xun Yu and others surrounding him, staring at him nervously.He hastily acted impromptu, pointed to the east, and said sharply with a painful expression: "Tie Yuan, you and I are irreconcilable!"

Xun Yu asked Zhao Yun and Dian Wei to help Han Zhan back to the desk and sat down, and asked about the details of the letter himself: "Tell me, how did Mr. Han commit suicide?"

"If you go back to the county magistrate," Xi Zuo quickly replied, "Since Mr. Han arrived in Chenliu, he has been living in the mansion of Zhang Taishou. A few days ago, there was news in the prefect's mansion that Mr. Han committed suicide. My little one." I bribed a servant in the mansion, and after asking him, I learned that it turned out to be an envoy from Jizhou, who had a secret conversation with Zhang Taishou in the study, and after a short while, the news of the mansion's death came out."

Xun Yu nodded after listening, and then asked Xun You, "Gongda, what do you think?"

Xun You frowned and said, "From my point of view, there is something strange about this matter. Lord Han didn't commit suicide sooner or later, but Yuan Shao sent a secret envoy to Chenliu, so he committed suicide."

"That's right, I see it that way too." After hearing this, Xun Yu nodded again, turned his gaze to Han Zhan, and asked tentatively, "I don't know what your envoy's plan is?"

"My father died because of Thief Yuan. As a son, if you can't avenge your father, you will be in vain." After Han Zhan finished these two scenes, he covered his face with the sleeve of his robe and began to howl dryly.

Xun Yu heard Han Zhan crying bitterly, and quickly persuaded him, "Your Majesty, you can't come back to life after death, so please be patient. The most urgent thing is to get Taishou Zhang to send back the body of Mr. Han so that he can be buried in peace." , It’s not too late to study revenge.”

"The county magistrate is out of order," Han Zhan waited for Xun Yu to finish speaking, and quickly wiped his face with the sleeve of his robe twice, pretending to be angry, and said, "Tie Yuan killed my father, this hatred is irreconcilable! I will use all my troops to return to Jizhou and take the head of Yuan Thief Xiangshang to comfort my father's spirit in heaven!"

Hearing Han Zhan's statement, Dian Wei hurriedly came out and said loudly: "My lord, Dian Wei is willing to be the vanguard, lead the troops to attack Jizhou, take Yuan Shao's head, and avenge Han Fujun."

Zhao Yun stood up and said: "Master, Yun is willing to lead the troops to Jizhou with Dian Junhou to avenge the Lord Han!"

Han Zhan saw that Zhao Yun and Dian Wei both took the initiative to fight, and he felt more at ease. As long as these two strong generals are on the team, coupled with counselors like Guo Jia and Xun You, even though the number of troops is smaller than Yuan Shao, at least the winning rate will be higher. It has been greatly improved.He stood up and began to issue orders: "Xun County Prime Minister!"

Xun Yu saw that Han Zhan spoke to him in a businesslike tone, and quickly agreed, "My subordinate is here!"

"I'll give you two days to set up the white flag and white armor, and the whole army will pay tribute to attack Yuan Shao."

After Xun Yu finished listening, he immediately asked for instructions: "I wonder if the envoy can give an accurate number, how many white flags and white armors need to be bought, so that I can arrange manpower to prepare?"

"There are hundreds of white flags, and two of them have to be written with four characters of revenge and hatred. As for the white armor," Han Zhan thought about the number of soldiers he was going to take away, and replied, "Let's prepare five thousand first!"

Regarding the amount Han Zhan said, Xun Yu frowned slightly, and then said, "It's not difficult to buy the white flag, but it's hard to get the five thousand for the white armor, why don't you prepare three thousand first."

After the discussion, everyone left one after another, only Xun Yu was still standing in the distance.Seeing his hesitant to speak, Han Zhan guessed that he must have something to say to himself, and quickly asked, "Is there anything else you need to do, Uncle?"

"Zhan'er, going to Jizhou is extremely dangerous." Xun Yu said hesitantly, "For the sake of safety, you should try to leave a queen for the Han family!"

"Leave a queen for the Han family?" Hearing Xun Yu's inexplicable words, Han Zhan was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood. He said with a wry smile, "Uncle, my father's bones are not cold, how can I marry a wife at this time?"

"It's not for you to marry a wife." Xun Yu said, "It's just for you to leave a queen for the Han family. Even if your expedition doesn't go well this time, the Han family will not lose their incense."

Han Zhan asked in a daze, "If you don't marry a wife, how can you stay as an empress?"

Xun Yu coughed and said, "I saw that your personal maid, Li Hua, is a filial, virtuous, well-educated, and elegant woman. You might as well take her into the house, so that you can leave a successor for the Han family."

Although Lihua is a beautiful woman, she is still too young for Han Zhan. She is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year. At this age, she will still be a high school student in later generations. Han Zhan has a strange feeling in his heart for consummating himself with such a young woman. Feel.

When Han Zhan and Xun Yu returned to the backyard, they found that even the mourning hall had been set up here. The white spirit-calling banners in front of them were blown by the wind, sometimes slowly floating up, and sometimes falling down gently.

As soon as Han Zhan approached the mourning hall, a naked woman rushed out of it, put her arms around his waist, and cried, "Brother, father died so wrongly, you must avenge him!"

"Don't worry, sister Yan." Han Zhan patted Han Yan's back lightly, gritted his teeth and said, "I will raise troops to attack Yuan Shao in two days, and vow to sacrifice my father's spirit in heaven. "

He stepped into the mourning hall and saw Han Bing kneeling in front of Han Fu's tablet burning paper money. The black smoke rising from the basin was filled with flames, and the ashes of the paper money were thrown into the air, and then scattered down one after another, falling on the ground. In all directions of the mourning hall.

Xun Yu went up to put three sticks of incense on Han Fu's spiritual seat, and after the three brothers and sisters of the Han family knelt down to return the gift to him, he sighed and said to Han Zhan, "Zhan'er, there are three ways to be unfilial, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants. Uncle Think about what you said carefully." After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and turned to leave the mourning hall.

"Brother, what is uncle talking about?" Han Bing asked curiously as soon as Xun Yu left.

Han Zhan replied bitterly: "I plan to send troops to attack Yuan Shao. Uncle is worried that my trip will be dangerous, so he asked me to leave the Han family with a queen before I leave." Having said that, he glanced at the busy Lihua not far away. , thinking to himself, "Even if I take over Lihua's house, the child I will give birth to in the future will only be a concubine. If you want him to inherit the incense of the Han family, it may be a bit unfair."
