Three Kingdoms King of the North

Before Dian Wei could finish speaking, Han Zhan raised his hand and interrupted him: "Chunyu Qiong is not incompetent after a long battle. In order to prevent people from making trouble in the city, it is justifiable to strengthen the guard. Dian Junhou, You don't have to blame yourself too much."

Guo Jia waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, and said to Dian Wei with a smile: "Dian Junhou, when you left, I told you to act according to the situation in the city. You see that the situation is not good for our army. It’s wonderful that we didn’t take rash action, which is absolutely correct.”

Hearing Guo Jia's praise for him, Dian Wei finally smiled again.

Guo Jia turned to look at Han Zhan and asked, "My Lord, in the first battle of Guangping, we captured a lot of prisoners. I don't know how to deal with them?"

"Yuan Shao's soldiers are all veteran soldiers." In the first battle of Guangping, a total of [-] Yuan troops were captured, and most of them were elite soldiers.Therefore, hearing Guo Jia's question, Han Zhan replied without hesitation: "Incorporate them into our army, which can improve the overall combat power."

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, he saw Guo Jia looking at him blankly.Han Zhan asked a little embarrassedly: "Feng Xiao, did I say something wrong?"

Guo Jia said dumbfoundedly: "Young Lord, what I'm asking is how to deal with the captured Yuan Tan, Chun Yuqiong, Chen Zhen and others?"

It turned out that Guo Jia was asking about the captured Wu under Yuan Shao, and Han Zhan realized that he had made a mistake.He blushed a little, and then said: "Put Yuan Tan, Chunyuqiong, Sui Yuanjin, Lu Weihuang, Zhao Rui and others in prison, and let the jailers take care of them, treat them if they are injured, and see a doctor if they are sick. Don't let them die. gone."

"What about the prefect Chen Zhen?" Guo Jia continued to ask.

Chen Zhen? !After Han Zhan repeated the name in his heart, he immediately remembered his resume.His surname is Chen Mingzhen, and his courtesy name is Xiaoqi. He is from Nanyang County, Jingzhou. He followed Yuan Shao in his early years and later voted for Liu Bei.When Liu Bei was in charge of Jingzhou animal husbandry, he served as an officer; then he followed Liu Bei to Sichuan, and successively served as the captain of the northern part of Shu County, the prefect of Wenshan, and the prefect of Qianwei.After Liu Chan came to the throne, he successively served as Shangshu, Shangshuling, and Weiwei.

Thinking of this, he quickly said to Guo Jia: "Hurry up and ask Mr. Chen Xiaoqi to come in!"

Guo Jia couldn't help but hesitated for a moment when he called Han Zhan, but he still ordered Chen Zhen to be brought out of the prison.

Seeing Chen Zhen who was tied up, he walked into the lobby under the escort of two soldiers.Han Zhan straightened his face, and said to the two soldiers: "Bastard, I asked you to invite Chen Taishou, how can you be so rude to him, and why don't you untie him quickly?"

After the two soldiers untied Chen Zhen, Han Zhan waved them away.Then he bypassed the table, stepped forward to salute Chen Zhen, and said politely: "Chen Taishou has been wronged!"

Chen Zhen glanced at Han Zhan, snorted heavily, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the roof of the hall, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to be so hypocritical, since Chen has fallen into your hands, there is no I want to leave alive. If you want to kill or die, you can do whatever you want, and Chen will never frown."

Han Zhan knew that Chen Zhen was a talent in internal affairs, and he wanted to take him under his command, so instead of being annoyed by his rude behavior, he said with a smile, "What did the prefect Chen say? If the Marquis wants to kill you, I killed you a long time ago, why wait until now?"

"Benhou?!" After hearing Han Zhan's self-proclaimed name, Chen Zhen couldn't help turning his eyes to him, and asked puzzledly, "You are just a small country magistrate, what right do you have to call yourself Benhou?"

"Chen Taishou doesn't know something," Han Zhan said with some pride, "a few days ago, the current emperor issued a decree to grant me the title of Marquis of Zhangshuiting, so I call myself the Marquis of Zhangshui."

Chen Zhen knew that the Marquis of Zhangshuiting was the lowest among the titles, but no matter what, the other party was no longer an ordinary county magistrate, but a Marquis.So Chen Zhen bowed and saluted: "Nanyang Chen Zhen sees the young master!"

"No courtesy, no courtesy!" Han Zhan saw Chen Zhen salute himself, and quickly asked him to sit down: "Sit down and talk."

After Chen Zhen sat down, Han Zhan asked tentatively: "Mr. Xiaoqi, I intend to appoint you as the prefect of Guangping. I wonder if you are willing to help me?" After finishing speaking, he stared at Chen Zhen intently, waiting for him answer.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Zhen got up and saluted Han Zhan again, and said apologetically, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master, but Chen has already planned to resign from office and go into seclusion, so he won't care about worldly affairs. I hope that Young Master will understand."

Han Zhan thought that with his sincerity, Chen Zhen would definitely agree to it, but he didn't expect him to refuse so simply.After the muscles on his face twitched violently a few times, he pretended to be generous and said: "Since the master intends to retire, I will not force you. Come here!"

Following the shout, a soldier standing guard outside the hall came in.Han Zhan ordered him: "Immediately prepare a good horse for Mr. Chen, as well as the dry food needed along the way."

Not long after, the soldier led a horse to the outside of the hall. Han Zhan smiled and said to Chen Zhen: "Mr. Chen, I have nothing to give you, so I will give you this horse as a leg. You go back to your hometown as soon as possible!"

Just when Chen Zhen thanked Han Zhan and was about to say goodbye and leave, Han Zhan magically took out a heavy wooden box, handed it to Chen Zhen, and said to him with a smile: "It's a small thing, it's not a respect, Mr. Chen please accept it."

Chen Zhen glanced at the wooden box with a surprised expression on his face, but he accepted Han Zhan's gift calmly.He put the wooden box into the saddle bag on the saddle, then got on the horse, arched his hands at Han Zhan on the horse's back, and said, "Thank you, little lord, farewell!"

After Chen Zhen left, Dian Wei asked Han Zhan curiously, "Master, what did you put in the wooden box for Mr. Chen?"

Han Zhan smiled and replied, "It's just a box of gold cakes. When I first came in, I saw it was placed behind the table. It must have belonged to Mr. Chen. I just borrowed flowers to present to Buddha and returned it to the original owner."

Chapter 0102

Not long after Chen Zhen left, Xun You, who had gone out to appease the people, came back.Hearing that Chen Zhen didn't want to be the prefect of Guangping anymore and had been sent out of the country by Han Zhanli, he couldn't help sighing, and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that such a good talent is let go for nothing!"

"No way," Han Zhan shrugged, and said helplessly, "Mr. Chen doesn't want to work for me. Even if he is forced to stay, it won't help. Let him go."

Although Han Zhan already has a title, when it comes to official positions, he is just a small county magistrate involved in the country. Before obtaining the permission of the court, he is not even qualified to appoint a county magistrate or a county lieutenant, let alone a person who is higher than himself. High prefect.But Guo Jia didn't care about this, and asked as a matter of course: "Young Lord, I don't know who you plan to appoint as the prefect of Guangping." When he said this, he cast a meaningful glance at Xun You who was standing beside him. .

Hearing Guo Jia's question, Han Zhan also had a headache.Don't look at the talented people in the Three Kingdoms era, but in this era that I live in, most of the counselors who are familiar to later generations are still children of the general.For example, Sima Yi has just turned 12 years old, while Zhuge Liang is only 10 years old.As for the slightly famous counselors, either they have long followed the lord, or they don't like themselves as a junior at all, so there is no possibility of recruiting them.

Thinking of Guo Jia's eyes, Han Zhan thought to himself: Feng Xiao is not implying me to let Xun You be the prefect of Guangping, right?Thinking of this, he turned his attention to Xun You, and asked tentatively: "Cousin Gongda, I plan to appoint you as the prefect of Guangping, do you have any objections?"

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your kindness!" Hearing that Han Zhan intends to appoint himself as the prefect of Guangping, Xun You hastily saluted: "But you have no experience in governing a county, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to be such a high-ranking official. I hope that Lord Hou will choose another talent." Sergeant, come to take on this important task!"

Han Zhan originally thought that Xun You would agree to serve as the prefect of Guangping, but he did not expect the other party to refuse so simply, and he couldn't help showing an embarrassed expression on his face: "Cousin Gongda, if you insist on not being the prefect of Guangping, can you recommend someone for me?" What about famous talents?"

Xun You shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "You have searched in the city, and there are no talented people here. If the Marquis can't find a suitable candidate, how about appointing Yuan Jun Cheng as the prefect?"

Han Zhan knew that Juncheng was loyal to the Han family's old department, but when he first entered the prefect's mansion, he had a few chats with him, and felt that this person was mediocre and not a suitable candidate for prefect.

When he was in a dilemma, Rob, who was on duty outside the gate of the mansion, suddenly walked into the lobby in a hurry, bowed his hands to Han Zhan and saluted: "Report to Lord Hou, Mr. Chen has left and returned, and is waiting outside the gate of the mansion!"

Hearing that Chen Zhen was back, Han Zhan couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly told Rob: "Please come in, Mr. Chen!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly added, "It's better for me to go out to meet him in person." he."

Han Zhan led Guo Jia and Xun You out of the prefect's mansion, and immediately saw Chen Zhen standing beside the war horse he had given him, talking to a middle-aged man in common clothes.Han Zhan thought to himself: Chen Zhen went and came back again, did he change his mind and planned to stay as the prefect?Thinking of this, he hastily stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Mr. Chen is back in Guangping, but is there anything urgent?"

Chen Zhen hastily returned the gift, and then said: "Back to Lord Hou, after Chen left Guangping, he met a friend from the same country on the road, and he just came here from his hometown to join Chen. Chen thought that he was a talent, in vain It's a pity to be buried, so I want to recommend it to Lord Hou, hoping to find a family background for him."

Hearing that Chen Zhen didn't intend to stay behind, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he still asked enthusiastically on the surface: "Dare to ask Mr. Chen, where are your friends from the same hometown now?"

Chen Zhen turned sideways and pointed at the middle-aged man standing beside the horse, and said: "This is Chen's hometown, Nanyang Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng, who can draw a bow of two stones and hit a hundred shots with a hundred shots; Can't get close."

After Han Zhan heard the name Chen Zhen said clearly, he almost fell over: Who, Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng?This is one of Liu Bei's five tiger generals, why did he come here?At this time, shouldn't he be Liu Biao's subordinate?

Seeing Han Zhan standing there without saying a word, just staring blankly at Huang Zhong in a daze, Chen Zhen thought that he disliked Huang Zhong for being too old, coughed quickly, and said with some embarrassment: "Master, although Han Sheng is old He is a bit older, but he is a rare talent. He is superb in martial arts, and on the battlefield, he is definitely a rare fighter."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Han Zhan rushing past him, coming straight to Huang Zhong, bowing to him, and said respectfully: "I have seen Huang Zhuangshi, Han is very polite." Already!"

Seeing Han Zhan rushing over to salute himself, Huang Zhong was a little surprised, and he quickly bowed to return the salute: "Caomin has seen Lord Hou!"

"Excuse me, excuse me!" Han Zhan quickly supported Huang Zhong's arm, and said to him with a smile: "I believe what Mr. Chen said, Huang Zhuangshi must be a rare and fierce general. There is a soldier in the army who is a marquis." The position is vacant, I wonder if Huang Zhuangshi is willing to give in?"

Seeing that Han Zhan was polite to him, Huang Zhong originally had a good impression of him, but he conservatively estimated that for the sake of Chen Zhen's face, it would be good for him to appoint him as a general of a hundred people at best.But at this moment, he couldn't help being stunned when he heard that he was directly appointed as Qu Junhou.

Seeing Huang Zhong standing there in a daze, Chen Zhen was afraid that his gaffe would cause Han Zhan's dissatisfaction, so he quickly reminded Huang Zhong: "Han Sheng, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and thank you Lord Hou!"

After Chen Zhen's reminder, Huang Zhong quickly saluted Han Zhan, "Thank you, Lord Hou!" When he said this, he agreed to work for Han Zhan.

Han Zhan was overjoyed to get such a famous general like Huang Zhong by accident. He was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he turned around and told Rob: "Rob, take Han Sheng to the barracks to meet my elder brother immediately, and help him arrange everything as soon as possible."

When Rob took Huang Zhong away, Han Zhan discovered that there was a horse parked by the road not far away. There were many things on the saddle. The objects wrapped tightly in cloth should be the big knife and the sword used by Huang Zhong. bow and arrow.

Seeing that Han Zhan readily awarded Huang Zhong the official position, Chen Zhen finally understood what was on his mind. He cupped his hands at Han Zhan and said, "Master Hou, the matter here is over, so Chen will leave."

Seeing that Chen Zhen was in a hurry to leave, Han Zhan felt that he should try one last time to see if he could stay. He quickly said, "Mr. Chen, the position of prefect of Guangping is vacant. Please help me!" When it's over, I can't stand it.

Chen Zhen hesitated for a long time, and finally replied: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your kindness. Mr. Chen is now a wild crane, and has no intention of being an official, and the post of prefect. Please ask Lord Hou to choose someone else."

When Chen Zhen left and the people returned to the main hall, Guo Jia asked Han Zhan curiously: "Young Master, do you really believe in Chen Xiaoqi? He said Huang Hansheng is a strong general, but you didn't let him show it off." Wu Yi hastily awarded him the post of Marquis, isn't it a bit too hasty?"

"Don't be hasty, don't be hasty!" After getting a famous general like Huang Zhong, Han Zhan was in a particularly good mood at the moment. He smiled and said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, you have to believe in my vision. How capable a person is, I will It only takes a few glances to tell, and so far, nothing has gone wrong."
