Three Kingdoms King of the North

Feng Ji, Yan Liang, and Chou were all Yuan Shao's confidantes. They all said so, and the rest of Wu didn't understand Yuan Shao's original intention.

Yuan Shao saw that he was now "the hope of all", so he "reluctantly" took the seal ribbon in Han Zhan's hand, and then said in an official tone to everyone in the account: "Everyone, Jizhou is in crisis today. For the sake of the community and the people, Yuan Shao A certain person will temporarily take the post of Jizhou Shepherd, and when there is a suitable candidate in the future, I will pass this seal and ribbon to others."

After completing the handover of the seal and ribbon, Yuan Shao, who was overjoyed, immediately ordered the National People's Congress to throw a banquet in honor of Han Zhan and Xun Chen.

Chunyu Qiong limped into the tent, and when Yuan Shao saw him, he immediately ordered: "Zhong Jian, go to toast Mr. Han, if he hadn't pleaded for you, your head would have been hung on the gate .”

"Obey!" Chunyu Qiong agreed, picked up a wine bowl from the tray in the hand of the waiter next to him, came to Han Zhan, held the wine bowl in both hands, and said with restraint of anger: "Thank you, Mr. Han, for saving your life. Please drink this wine to the full."

Although Han Zhan didn't like Chunyuqiong, but now that he was in Yuan Shao's territory, he still had to be polite enough to Yuan Shao's generals, so he stood up, touched the wine bowl with both hands, and said to Chunyuqiong: " General Chunyu, let's drink together, please!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank the whole bowl of wine.

After Chunyuqiong left, Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the middle, asked, "Nephew, I don't know how old you are, have you ever been married, is there any words?"

Han Zhan quickly replied respectfully, "Back to Uncle Yuan, my nephew is seventeen years old, and he hasn't gotten married yet, and he hasn't reached the age to pick up characters."

Yuan Shao glanced at Xun Chen who was talking and laughing happily with his subordinates, and said a little puzzled: "My nephew is seventeen, why hasn't he married yet? How did I hear that the daughter of Xin Ping's younger brother, Xin Pi, has been betrothed to Lord Han?" the youngest son?"

"That's right." Han Zhan has learned about some situations in the mansion through Lihua in the past few days, and knows that Han Fu's youngest son, Han Yue, was born in a concubine's house, but he is deeply loved by Han Fu. At the age of two, she made a baby kiss with Xin Pi's one-year-old daughter, Xin Xianying. "My father saw that Mrs. Xin's daughter is lively and lovely, so he made this marriage for my younger brother." Han Zhan even thought in his heart that if Jizhou had not been handed over to Yuan Shao, Han Fu might choose this youngest son when choosing his heir in the future.

"Nephew has someone he likes." Yuan Shao had just accepted Jizhou Mu's seal, and he was in a very good mood, so he was also very enthusiastic about Han Zhan who came here to deliver the seal: "I can be a matchmaker for you."

"Thank you Uncle Yuan for your kindness." For Yuan Shao's kindness, Han Zhan quickly cupped his hands and thanked him: "My nephew has never had a woman he likes. When there is a suitable candidate in the future, I will definitely ask Uncle Yuan to fight for me."

After Yuan Shao and Han Zhan said a few more words, they went to discuss with Feng Ji how to accept the matter of Jizhou.Han Zhan turned his head and saw Xun Chen fighting with Yuan Shao's subordinates, and he couldn't help feeling secretly in his heart: After Han Fu's wife, the Xun family, passed away, the Xun family in Yingchuan and Han Fu became more and more alienated.Even if Han Fu strongly opposes giving up Jizhou to Yuan Shao this time, there is no guarantee that these half-hearted subordinates will not give up Jizhou to more powerful princes. 89

Chapter 0015 Suspicious Fengji

After the banquet was over, Han Zhan, who was somewhat drunk, returned to the tent that Yuan Shao arranged for him with the support of two Yuan Bing.After sending away the two Yuan Bing, he was lying on the couch and was about to take a nap for a while, but he heard someone outside the tent asking the guard at the door: "Is the young master in the tent?"

Han Zhan recognized Zhao Yun's voice, sat up quickly, and said to the outside, "Zilong is outside the tent, come in if you have something to say."

As soon as Zhao Yun lifted the curtain and walked into the tent, he bowed his hands to Han Zhan and said, "See you, my lord!"

Han Zhan, who was leaning against the couch, nodded at Zhao Yun, and pointed at the cushion beside the couch, "Zilong, please sit down and talk."

After Zhao Yun sat down beside the couch, he asked, "I don't know something, I hope you can give me advice!"

Although he felt that his eyelids could not be opened a little bit, Han Zhan still tried his best to say: "Zilong has something to do, but it's okay to say it."

"Outside the camp today, when Yuan Shao was about to punish Chunyu Qiongming, why did you plead for mercy?" Zhao Yun said angrily, "Shouldn't we seek justice for the villagers in Zhujiazhuang? ?”

Zhao Yun's complaints really made Han Zhan dumbfounded. He never thought that Yuan Shao's plan to kill Chunyu Qiong was just a public trick, but Zhao Yun didn't realize it.He said weakly, "Zilong, do you really think that Yuan Shao is going to kill Chunyuqiong?"

"Isn't it?" Zhao Yun said in bewilderment, "I heard Yuan Shao order his subordinates to drag Chunyu Qiong down and behead him, and hang his head on the gate for three days for public display?"

Han Zhan waved his hand and explained to Zhao Yun: "According to my observation, Chunyu Qiong is highly regarded by Yuan Shao. As long as he doesn't rebel, he won't be in danger of his life at all. It's like pretending to be a yellow scarf thief and looting one or two small villages." For a lord like Yuan Shao, killing a few ordinary people is just a trivial matter not worth mentioning."

"Since Yuan Shao doesn't want to kill Chunyu Qiong, why did he issue that order today?" Although Zhao Yun is a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, he is still too young at this time, and it still seems a bit one-sided to look at many things: "Isn't this going back on promises?"

"Yuan Shao did this because he knew in his heart that when we envoys from Jizhou saw that he was going to kill the general, we would definitely persuade him with words, so we were confident." Han Zhan spread his hands and said helplessly, "Even if We know he is acting, and we have to cooperate with him so that he can have a step down."

After digesting what Han Fu said, Zhao Yun continued: "Young Master, the generals I see in Yuan Shao's army today are nothing more than Yan Liang, Chou, and Chun Yuqiong. The rest are nothing to worry about; and I, Jizhou, although Even though Pan Feng was defeated and Qu Yi was turned against, there are still Zhang He and Gao Lan, two strong generals, even if the two armies are at war, they will not be at a disadvantage in the slightest, so we are really unwilling to let Jizhou be handed over to Yuan Shao."

After hearing this, Han Zhan sneered, "Zilong, do you know where my uncle Xun Chen and Xun Youruo are now?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "I haven't seen Mr. Youruo before."

"Of course you can't see my uncle. As soon as the banquet was over, he went to visit Yuan Shao's ministers and advisers. Yuan Shao couldn't wait to change his family before he entered Jizhou." Han Zhan said in a contemptuous tone: "Father The ministers and advisers around me are all alienated, relying on generals like Zhang Yun and Gao Lan to try to turn the tide is just an idiot's dream."

While Han Zhan and Zhao Yun were chatting in the tent, Yuan Shao was sitting in his tent, holding the golden seal of Jizhou Mu that belonged to Han Fu not long ago.After playing with it for a long time, he reluctantly put the gold seal on the table, raised his head and asked Feng Ji who was sitting beside him: "Yuan Tu, what are those two doing now?"

Naturally, Feng Ji knew who the two people Yuan Shao was referring to, so he quickly got up and replied, "My lord, Mr. You Ruo is visiting you in the camp, while Mr. Han is resting in the tent. I have asked Xu Ziyuan to stay in the tent." Watch him from afar."

Yuan Shao chuckled, and said: "If this Xunyou has some talent, he is worried that I will leave him idle after I take over Jizhou in the future. Now he is busy making friends with my subordinate Wutao, so that he can be more talented at critical moments in the future. help."

"Ji would like to ask my lord, how do you plan to arrange Mr. Youruo in the future?"

Yuan Shao stood up, walked back and forth behind the table with his hands behind his back, and said thoughtfully: "The Xun family is a famous family in Yingchuan. If we want to establish a solid foundation in Jizhou, we must establish a good relationship with them. Wait for me After officially becoming the lord of Jizhou, let Xun Youruo be my counselor."

"My lord is wise!" As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, Feng Ji flattered him: "As long as you treat the Xun family well, then the officials and generals of the Yingchuan faction will surely be used by the lord sooner or later."

While the two were talking, counselor Xu You came in from the outside, came to the tent and bowed to Yuan Shao: "See my lord!"

"Ziyuan is here." Seeing Xu You coming in, Yuan Shao greeted him politely, and then asked, "Son of Han Fu, what are you doing now, have you been in contact with anyone?"

Xu You quickly replied: "After Mr. Han was helped into the tent by the soldiers to rest, a hundred generals entered the tent."

"Hundred generals?" Yuan Shao frowned and asked, "Do you know who he is?"

"According to You's observation, that person should be one of Mr. Han's confidantes." He was afraid that Yuan Shao would not remember who it was, and reminded him specially, "It's the hundred-man general who drew his sword and slashed at General Chunyu in the morning!"

"Brother Ziyuan," Feng Ji interrupted and asked, "Have you ever heard what they were talking about?"

Hearing Feng Ji's question, Xu You immediately shook his head like a rattle: "That's not true. I thought that since the master and servant were chatting, it wouldn't be a military matter, so I didn't send anyone to monitor it."

"A dude and a general, what can the two of them do?" Yuan Shao said disapprovingly, "Yuan Tu doesn't have to worry about the sky."

Seeing that Yuan Shao didn't pay attention to his own opinion, Feng Ji couldn't help being a little anxious: "Ji's observation of the words and deeds of the second son today is definitely not something in the pool, given time, it will definitely become a disaster."

"Yuan Tu is too worried," Xu You said with a smile, "Han Fu is cowardly and incompetent, how can his son be so strong? I think he treats the lord respectfully. After the lord becomes the master of Jizhou, he can let him go." Be a rich man with peace of mind."

"Okay, okay, a child with a yellow mouth is worth talking about between the two of you." Yuan Shao interrupted the two of them impatiently, and said to himself: "Let's discuss when we will leave for Jizhou tomorrow." 89

Chapter 0016

In the early morning of the second day, Yuan Shao ordered Chunyu Qiong and Xu You to stay in the camp. He led generals Yan Liangchou and Chang Shi Fengji with [-] soldiers and horses, joined Han Zhan and the others, and marched towards Jizhou.

Yuan Shao rode a horse and walked beside Xun Chen's carriage, chatting while walking, while Han Zhan and Zhao Yun followed far behind.

Zhao Yun saw that the soldiers on the left and right were all on their way, so he lowered his voice and said to Han Zhan, "My lord, it seems that your analysis yesterday is completely correct?"

"Analysis, what analysis?" Han Zhan forgot what he had said with Zhao Yun after he sobered up, so when he heard what Zhao Yun said, he couldn't help asking blankly, "What analysis did I do?"

Zhao Yun pouted his lips at Yuan Shao in front, and said in a low voice: "Young Master said, Chunyu Qiong is Yuan Shao's favorite general, and he was not good enough at that time. But seeing Yuan Shao let the other party command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to sit in the camp, you know that Young Master What you said last night is very true." Since Yuan Shao took over Jizhou's Yinshou, when Zhao Yun and Han Zhan mentioned Yuan Shao in the conversation, they always called him by his first name.

"Regardless of whether Yuan Shao was acting or not yesterday, my act of pleading for Chunyu Qiong in public will make the other party remember my favor." Han Zhan said to Zhao Yun: "Even if I can't turn an enemy into a friend with him, at least in the short term Within a short period of time, it will not become an endless rival."

There was a burst of rumbling thunder in the distant sky. Zhao Yun looked up at the sky and saw thick black clouds rolling and piling up in the sky. He couldn't help but sighed and said, "The sky is about to change!"

"That's right, the sky is going to change!" Han Zhan looked up at the sky and said thoughtfully, "Not only the weather is going to change, but the sky in Jizhou is going to change too. I don't know if it will be a blessing or a blessing for the people of Jizhou." Disaster." He was thinking in his heart, if God opened his eyes and a thunderbolt struck Yuan Shao to death, would the history of the Three Kingdoms be rewritten from then on?

When the brigade marched to the Julu area, there was a thunder in the sky, and the pouring rain poured down from the sky like the water of the Yellow River that broke its embankment.Yuan Shao quickly issued an order to stop the troops from advancing, and camped on the spot to rest.

After the soldiers had set up tents for Yuan Shao and all the soldiers, they began to set up their own tents.Although the soldiers set up the tent very quickly, when Han Zhan entered Yuan Shao's big tent, he was still drenched in water.

Yuan Shao sat down behind the table in the middle, Wu Fen sat on the left and right sides, Han Zhan and Xun Chen sat where Yuan Shao started.Because of the heavy rain outside, a soldier who came in to report the news spoke at the top of his voice for a long time before Han Zhan heard clearly that the other party was reporting to Yuan Shao. The troops were temporarily unable to cross the river.

Yuan Shao waved his hand, signaling Tan Ma to back down, and then asked all the soldiers: "Everyone, Tan Ma reported back, the water in the Zhang River surged, the bridge was broken, and we can't cross the river for the time being, what do you guys think?"
