Three Kingdoms King of the North

"Back to Lord Hou," Hu Cha said respectfully, "I heard that Lord Hou has developed a new wine that tastes purer and more fragrant than the wine we usually drink."

Hearing this, Han Zhan nodded and said, "Mr. Hu, your news is quite well-informed. That's right, Benhou has indeed developed a new wine, but due to limited production, the new wine produced can only It is used to wipe wounds of wounded soldiers."

"Wipe the wound with wine?" Hearing what Han Zhan said, Hu Cha couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise: "Master Hou, isn't this too wasteful?"

Seeing that the topic of Hu Cha has always revolved around the new wine he developed, Han Zhan couldn't help asking curiously: "Mr. Hu, do you have any plans?"

As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Hu Cha gave him a thumbs up and said flatteringly, "Master Hou is still wise, and he guessed what the villain is thinking right away. That's right, the villain came to see Master Hou today just to Here comes this new wine."

Han Zhan didn't interrupt him, but just made a gesture of invitation to him, signaling him to continue talking.Hu Cha went on to say: "The villain has two wineries in Jizhou City, and the annual sales are not bad, which is also an important income in the villain's business. Now the villain wants to partner with Lord Hou to jointly develop this new wine. How about [-]% or [-]% of the profits? Villain [-]%, Hou Ye [-]%."

As early as when he ordered Rob to distill the wine, Han Zhan thought about finding a larger distillery to produce this kind of high-concentration baijiu, because he has been busy recently and has not been able to take care of it for the time being.Now that Hu Cha offered to cooperate with him in a wine shop, it was really a pillow that someone would give him if he wanted to fall asleep, so there was no reason not to agree.But he thought about it again, steaming wine does not have much technical content, and the people in Hu Cha Distillery can learn it after watching it once. If he wants too many shares, this kind of cooperation may not last long.

After careful consideration, he stretched out three fingers and said to Hu Cha: "Mr. Hu, you are not an outsider. If you want to partner with me, we will split it in [-]-[-]."

"[-]% to [-]%?" Hearing the share ratio proposed by Han Zhan, the muscles on Hu Cha's face couldn't help twitching violently. It's the limit, I didn't expect him to want to add another [-]%.If you don't want to cooperate, Jizhou is already his territory. If you offend him, many of your workshops and shops in the city may have to close sooner or later.Therefore, he hesitated for a long time, finally stomped his feet suddenly, gritted his teeth and said: "Three seven is three seven, young master, we have made a deal like this."

"Mr. Hu, wait a minute." Seeing Hu Cha's behavior, Han Zhan knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly said to him with a smile, "The [-]% to [-]% I said is [-]% for me and [-]% for you."

Hu Cha was stunned by Han Zhan's words. He didn't expect that Han Zhan would voluntarily give up [-]% of his share to cooperate with him, so that he stayed in the distance for a while, not knowing what to say.After a long time, he bowed deeply to Han Zhan and said, "Young master is indeed benevolent, and he is willing to give [-]% of the villain's share. The villain is very grateful."

After Han Zhan wrote the steaming method on paper with a pen, he handed it to Hu Cha and said to him: "Mr. Hu, apart from sending fifty altars of new wine to the wounded barracks every month, the rest , you can sell it at will.”

Hu Cha took the prescription from Han Zhan's hand, carefully put it into the sleeve of his robe, and then saluted Han Zhan again: "Thank you, Lord Hou, the villain is leaving!"

After Hu Cha left, Han Zhan returned to the backyard, and walked straight to his bedroom, which was the room he lived in when he crossed.As soon as he reached the door, he heard someone talking inside. He stopped and listened carefully. Apart from Patch's voice, there seemed to be two other young women's voices.

He coughed heavily, and the voice inside stopped abruptly.He pushed open the door and stepped in.After going in and seeing the people in the room clearly, he couldn't help being stunned.In addition to Patch, there are two young and beautiful women in the room.

Han Zhan stared at the two beauties intently, and asked Patch who was standing beside him, "Patch, whose family are these two girls from?"

"Young Master," Patch replied respectfully from the side, "These are the two singers that Mr. Hu gave you."

"Singer?!" Han Zhan originally thought that the two women were relatives of which family, and followed Hu Cha and Patch to Jizhou City. They stayed in the backyard for a while, but he didn't expect that they were the singers given to him by Hu Cha.After figuring out the identities of the two women, Han Zhan turned his head to look at Patch, and said displeasedly: "Patch, who told you to take the singer from Mr. Hu's family? Hurry up and send them back to Patch. Mr.'s house."

"Sir, calm down." Seeing Han Zhan's unhappy expression, Patch quickly explained: "Mr. Hu said that there is no one to take care of you when you are away, which is inconvenient. Therefore, I specially prepared these two singers to sing to you during the day." Distort boredom, serve the son's daily life, and warm the son's bed at night."

Knowing that these two singers were sent by Hu Cha in the name of warming the bed, Han Zhan couldn't order Patch to send them back, so he waved his hand and said to the two, "Since it's Mr. Hu's It's a good intention, so let's stay."

Hearing that Han Zhan was willing to stay with him, the two women looked at each other with joyful expressions on their faces.Then bowed at the same time and saluted: "My family, thank you, Young Master!"

Now that the two singers were left behind, Han Zhan asked politely, "What's your name?"

The woman on the left opened her mouth first and said, "Go back to Lord Hou, my slave's house is Emerald!"

The woman on the right went on to say: "The slave's family is Ah Nuan!"

"A Nuan?!" Hearing this name, Han Zhan couldn't help laughing, thinking that one of the two singers Hu Cha gave him to warm his bed was actually named A Nuan. This name is quite appropriate. of.

Suddenly there were two women with outstanding looks and excellent figure in the room, and Han Zhan suddenly had the idea of ​​being a fool, that is, to stay in this room and not go out for ten days and a half months, to enjoy the beauty life.

But as soon as he had this idea, he heard someone shouting outside: "Master Hou, Master Hou!"

Han Zhan, who had just sat on the couch with the two singers in his arms, recognized Rob's voice, and quickly raised his chin at Patch, motioning for him to open the door and let Rob in.

As soon as the door opened, Rob stepped in from the door, but saw Han Zhan sitting on the couch with his arms around two beautiful women.Just when he was hesitating whether to quit, he heard Han Zhan asking, "Rob, what's the matter?"

"Return to the Lord." Since Guo Jia changed his name to Lord Han Zhan, many people in the army also changed their words, and Rob was one of them: "Mr. Guo is waiting in the main hall, saying that there is something important to report immediately."

Han Zhan knew that Guo Jia would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and since he was so anxious to see him, there must be something important.He could only let go of the two singers in his arms, stood up, and said to Rob: "Leader Luo, come with me to the main hall to meet Feng Xiao."

Guo Jia, who was walking back and forth in the main hall, saw Han Zhan appearing, and immediately went up to him and said, "Please take the initiative, Mr. Xun has sent a letter." As he spoke, he handed over a letter in his hand.

"Mr. Xun, who is Mr. Xun?" Han Zhan took the letter from Guo Jia and asked casually, "Is it from my uncle?"

But Guo Jia shook his head and said, "It's not Xun Ruo, but Xun Gongda."

"Cousin Gongda?" After learning that it was Xun You's letter, Han Zhan didn't bother to read the letter anymore, but asked curiously, "Isn't he in Gongsun Zan's army and responsible for liaison matters? Is he writing at this time? Is there anything important?"

"My lord, I sent someone to send a letter to Xun Gongda two days ago, telling him in detail about the fact that we have captured Jizhou and regained Zhang He." Guo Jia said with a smile: "In today's letter, Gongda said that he had thought of One plan can break the stalemate between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan."

Ever since Han Zhan knew that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan had ceased fighting, he was also very anxious. If the two sides continued to confront each other like this, he didn't know how long he would have to wait before seeing the two of them fight each other.If, like in real history, Dong Zhuo came out to mediate between the two parties, everything he has done now would be in vain.He hurriedly asked: "What plan?"

Guo Jia quickly replied, "Gongda is going to speak to Gongsun Zan, saying that Yuan Shao's army in Jieqiao is already a lone army. As long as Gongsun Zan can be provoked to take the initiative to attack Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, who has few soldiers, will definitely not be able to resist it." , then we can reap the benefits of the fisherman.”

"Not bad." Hearing the strategy Xun You came up with, Han Zhan nodded with a smile, and said approvingly, "It's a good strategy to drive away tigers and wolves. , and when there are no reinforcements, we will decisively attack Yuanying. When they are almost finished fighting, we will send troops to clean up the mess."

After Han Zhan finished speaking, he was surprised to find that Guo Jia was frowning and muttering to himself.Can't help but ask curiously: "Feng Xiao, what are you talking about?"

Hearing Han Zhan's voice, Guo Jia's body shook suddenly, and then he raised his head and said to Han Zhan, "Jia thinks the strategy of driving away tigers and wolves that my lord just said is quite appropriate."

Hearing what Guo Jia said, Han Zhan murmured inwardly that it was not good, and said in his heart that I thought it was one of the 36 strategies. Unexpectedly, even Guo Jia had never heard of this strategy. Could it be that it appeared in other dynasties? of.He laughed twice and said: "Feng Xiao, I just said that casually."

In order for Xun You's strategy to fully exert its effect, Han Zhan ordered Guo Jia to say: "Feng Xiao, immediately send scouts to closely monitor the movement in the direction of Jieqiao. Once Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao start a war, we will immediately send troops to Occupy Guangzong and cut off Yuan Shao's retreat."

"Please don't worry, my lord." Guo Jia had already considered Han Zhan's question. He reported to Han Zhan: "Jia has sent three teams of scouts to Jieqiao to inquire about the situation of the two armies. If there is any change in them , Tanma will report back immediately." Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused for a moment, and then asked, "My lord, you once said that we will not kill Yuan Shao for the time being. If we really occupy Guangzong, Didn't it just cut off Yuan Shao's escape route?"

"Don't worry about Fengxiao." Regarding how to deal with Yuan Shao, Han Zhan already had a plan in mind. Seeing Guo Jia was so worried, he took the initiative to explain to him: "I will try my best to force Yuan Shao to the south, and after I occupy Jizhou, I will report to the court. Recommend him to serve as the shepherd of Yanzhou, and let him be in our south to help us defend against those potential enemies."

"Potential enemy?" Hearing what Han Zhan said, Guo Jia immediately became interested: "Master, who is our potential enemy?"

Naturally, Han Zhan would not tell him that Cao Cao was the most dangerous enemy, but said vaguely: "There are Yuan Shu, Liu Dai, Liu Biao and others in the south, and they are all potential enemies for us. We forced Yuan Shao to In the south of Jizhou, let him help us block these enemies, so that we can free up our hands to take Qingzhou in the east and Bingzhou in the west. After I have the land of four states, I will be able to stand on the ground where I can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. invincible position."

Chapter 0125 Destroy this dynasty

Gongsun Zan sent people to challenge Yuan Shao in front of Yuan Shao's gate for four or five days in a row, but Yuan Ying's cards were all up for exemption, and no one came to fight at all.Gongsun Zan thought that Yuan Shao was scared out of his wits by himself, so he couldn't help but feel complacent.

Another day, he sent Tian Kai to challenge Yuan Ying, but the gate of Yuanying was still closed.Gongsun Zan didn't notice the abnormal situation in Yuanying, and even held a banquet in the big tent, specially inviting Liu Guanzhang and the three of them, as well as Xun You who was in Liuying.

After drinking for three rounds and eating five flavors, Xun You got up and bowed his hands to Gongsun Zan, and asked, "General Gongsun, you have sent people to fight outside Yuan's camp for several days, but Yuan Jun has always stayed behind closed doors."

"Mr. Xun is worrying too much." Before Xun You finished speaking, Shan Jing got up and interrupted him, "A few days ago, Yuan Shao was defeated by my lord, and he has become a frightened bird. How dare he come out to compete with our army. "After speaking, he burst out laughing.

"That's right, that's right." Tian Kai, affected by Shan Jing's emotions, also stood up: "General Shan Jing is right, Yuan Shao must have been frightened by my lord, that's why he didn't dare to fight."

Hearing what the two said, Xun You murmured to himself: Can you show some face?If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hadn't assisted in the battle that day, it is estimated that your lord was either killed by Yuan Shao or driven back to his hometown.Is it your turn to challenge outside Yuan Jun's camp every day?

Xun You smiled lightly and continued, "General Gongsun, the reason why Yuan Shao stayed behind closed doors was because Jizhou had already fallen into the hands of my Tinghou; .”

As soon as Xun You finished speaking, the entire tent fell silent, and even the air seemed to freeze.

After a long time, Gongsun Zan slammed the table in front of him with a loud "pop", and saw that the wine bottles on the table were knocked down.He got up and pointed at Xun You, and said angrily, "I led my troops to fight Yuan Shao to the death at Jieqiao, but your Tinghou was lucky enough to take advantage of the fisherman and take Jizhou City without making a sound."

"General Gongsun, please calm down." Xun You waited for Gongsun Zan to get angry, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "After my Tinghou took Jizhou, he sent his army north to attack Yuan Tan who was stationed in Ren County, thus turning Yuan Shao of Jieqiao into a A lone army, unable to compete with the general any longer."

After listening to Xun You's explanation, Gongsun Zan's anger subsided a little, and he asked after a while, "I wonder if your Tinghou will be as dishonest as Yuan thief after we seized the entire Jizhou?"

"Please rest assured, General." Xun You comforted Gongsun Zan with a smile and said, "My Tinghou will definitely abide by the agreement. All counties and counties occupied by Gongsun's army will belong to the General."
