Three Kingdoms King of the North

Hearing Guo Jia's tone, Han Zhan didn't seem to object to his organizing people to rob the tomb, but he still asked cautiously, "I wonder if Feng Xiao agrees with this?"
Guo Jia stood up, nodded, and said to Han Zhan and Xun Yu: "After the rule of the former dynasty, rich burials prevailed. Anyone with a wealthy family must have their tombs filled with treasures, gold and silver. If we If you take it, you will be able to enrich the military salary."
Han Zhan saw that Guo Jia also agreed with this matter, and the heart hanging in his throat finally fell back into his stomach, and then he could arrange staff with confidence and boldness.He looked at the two of them and asked: "Uncle, Feng Xiao, how many people do you think we should transfer to carry out this matter?"
"If there are too many people, it is easy to leak information; but if there are too few people, it will be difficult to move out all the treasures in the tomb." Xun Yu said thoughtfully: "I think we should send 500 people to find a reliable person." Commander, come to carry out the matter of stealing graves and digging graves."
"Xun Changshi" Guo Jia and Xun Yu finished speaking, and immediately asked: "I don't know who do you think is reliable and can take on this important task?"
"Captain Dianwei," Xun Yu said without hesitation, "This man is loyal to the lord, and he is also very brave. He is the best person to lead the troops to take charge of this matter."
Regarding the candidate proposed by Xun Yu, Han Zhan fell into deep thought: Yes, Dian Wei has followed him wholeheartedly after getting along with him for the past few months. He might not refuse to ask him to lead an army to rob the tomb.But for such a fierce general, instead of letting him go to the front line, let him steal graves and dig graves, it would be a bit of a waste of talent.
Just when Han Zhan was hesitating, Guo Jia proposed: "My lord, I think it's better to call Zilong, Xiahou Xiaowei, and Dian Xiaowei here to discuss this matter, and see what the three of them think." how?"
Guo Jia said that Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were called, and Han Zhan thought it was logical. After all, Zhao Yun was in charge of Jizhou soldiers and horses, and Dian Wei was the candidate proposed by Xun Yu.But what is the purpose of calling Xia Houlan here?Thinking of this, he asked puzzledly: "Feng Xiao, why did you call Xia Houlan here?"
"My lord," Guo Jia said to Han Zhan with a faint smile, "If Captain Dian is unwilling, at least we have a backup candidate, so we can be prepared."
"That's right, that's right, Feng Xiao is right. Be prepared," Han Zhan applauded Guo Jia's statement, walked a few steps towards the door, and shouted outside: "Come here!"
Following Han Zhan's shout, Chen Dao, who was leading the team on duty outside the meeting hall, immediately strode in and saluted Han Zhan, "I don't know what your lord wants?"
"Uncle Zhi," Han Zhan walked up to Chen Dao and told him, "Send Zilong, Dianwei, and Xiahoulan to find you immediately, and tell me that I have something important to discuss."
Zhao Yun and the others had just left the State Shepherd's Mansion and before they returned to the barracks, they were caught up by the dispatched Rob.Rob rode up to Zhao Yun, clasped his fists and saluted: "General Zhao, my lord has urgently summoned you, please rush to the State Shepherd's Mansion immediately."
Zhao Yun quickly glanced at Xia Houlan who was walking side by side with him, and asked, "Is it just me?"
Rob's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen Xiahou Lan beside Zhao Yun, and quickly added: "My lord, I also ask Captain Xiahou to return with me."
After Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan left together, Rob asked others and found out that Dian Wei had already returned to the barracks, so he hurried to the barracks.
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan returned to the council hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion and saluted Han Zhan.Han Zhan waved his hands at the two of them, and said in greeting: "Sit down, and I will discuss an important matter with you when Dianwei comes."
Hearing that there was something important, Zhao Yun felt particularly puzzled. When he was talking about the matter, didn't the second brother say that he would not take any military actions for the time being except for military training?At this moment, he hastily recruited himself back. Could it be that something unexpected happened?
After a while, Dian Wei also hurried in.As soon as he entered the meeting hall, he couldn't wait to ask: "My lord, come here, what's the important thing?"
"Dianwei, sit down, I have something important to tell you." After Han Zhan waited for Dianwei to sit down, under the suspicious eyes of the three, he explained the tomb robbery he had discussed with Xun Yu and Guo Jia. One thing, told them again.Finally, he looked at Dian Wei and asked, "Dian Wei, the Marquis intends to let you lead these 500 people to dig the tomb in order to make up for the army's salary. I don't know what you want?"
When Dian Wei heard that Han Zhan had assigned him such a task, the muscles on his face twitched violently a few times, then he stood up, pouted his neck and said, "My lord, I won't do such things that harm morality."
Seeing that Dian Wei rejected him so flatly, Han Zhan smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said: "Since Captain Dian is not willing to take charge of this matter, then the Marquis will choose someone else."
"My lord," Zhao Yun stood up, cupped his fists at Han Zhan and said, "Our army has enough food and grass, it seems that there is no need to do such a thing that attracts the resentment of the world."
"General Zilong," Xun Yu, who had been silent by the side, quickly stood up and said to Zhao Yun when he saw that things were in danger of getting out of control, "We will spend a lot of money to expand our troops and repair the city. If the library is empty, you can run away from mice, except for tomb robbery, I can't think of a better way."
"Brother," Han Zhan knew that if he didn't persuade Zhao Yun, he would encounter a lot of resistance if he wanted to transfer manpower, so he said euphemistically, "Our soldiers and horses will increase, and our need for money and food will increase. The bigger it is. The Marquis doesn't want to plunder the common people and cause anger and resentment, so he can only consider stealing some treasures from these tombs to supplement the army's salary and feed his soldiers and horses. Tell me, is there anything wrong with this Marquis' approach? "
After listening to Han Zhan's heartfelt words, Zhao Yun was silent for a long time, and finally said: "My lord, there is some truth in what you said, and I will not dare to object any more. But if you have an order, please just order it."
Han Zhan glanced at the silent Dian Wei, and then heaved a long sigh: "Benhou originally planned to ask Lieutenant Dian to be in charge of this matter, but I didn't expect him to refuse. It seems that I can only find someone else."
"My lord, I am willing to take on this important task." Dian Wei is straightforward. Hearing the conversation between Han Zhan and Zhao Yun, he knew that he did not rob the tomb to satisfy his own selfishness, so he changed his mind in time: "When will we do it?" , please command, my lord."
Han Zhan returned to the center and sat down again. After sweeping his eyes over Dian Wei and Xia Houlan, he said, "There are 500 soldiers and horses responsible for robbing tombs, named Faqiu Army, led by Dian Wei and Xia Houlan. Dian Wei was promoted to Faqiu Zhonglang General, and Xia Houlan was promoted to Mojin Xiaowei."
Dian Wei and Xia Houlan hurried forward, cupped their hands and saluted: "The last general takes orders!"
"Remember," Han Zhan told the two of them, "the robbed tombs are mainly dominated by princes and generals, supplemented by rich merchants and wealthy merchants. The cemeteries of ordinary people are not to be destroyed at will. After Fa Qiujun entered the tomb, he only took Do not destroy the bones of the property. After emptying the treasures in the tomb, the opening must be sealed to prevent anyone from entering."
Regarding the regulations made by Han Zhan, Dian Wei and Xia Houlan looked at each other and replied in unison: "The general will obey!"
Xia Houlan took a step forward and asked respectfully: "My lord, I don't know who should dispose of the property we take each time?"
Han Zhan looked at Xun Yu who was at the side: "All the property taken from the tomb will be handed over to Xun Changshi for disposal."
"The general understands." After Xia Houlan finished speaking, she withdrew.
Before Zhao Yun and the other three left, Han Zhan told them solemnly: "After all, this matter is not honorable. Except for you and the brothers of Faqiu Jun, don't let more people know about this matter. Do you understand?"
"The general understands." The three agreed in unison, then turned and left the meeting hall.
Guo Jia looked at the backs of the three of them, and said thoughtfully: "Master, do you think the three of them will feel bad for you because of this?"
Before Han Zhan could answer, Xun Yu had rushed to say: "Feng Xiao is too worried, I think the three of them are all loyal to Zhan'er. Especially General Zilong, he and Zhan'er are friends of eight worshippers, but they have experienced together. After life and death, there will be no more disagreements."
Han Zhan was anxious to go back to the backyard to talk about life with Cai Yan and Lihua, and he didn't want to stay in the meeting hall, so he said perfunctorily: "Yeah, Feng Xiao is too worried, I have already explained the matter clearly to them, I must They won't have any bad ideas, right? By the way, Feng Xiao, if you are free tomorrow, go to the barracks with my uncle and help my elder brother and the others choose suitable candidates to form the Faqiu Army."
"I obey." Guo Jia agreed, and left the conference hall with Xun Yu.
Han Zhan wandered back to the backyard, instead of returning to his room, he walked towards Cai Yan's place.As a result, he walked halfway and met Emerald.Fei Cui asked with a half-smile: "Tinghou, where are you planning to go?"
Han Zhan didn't expect to meet Fei Cui here, so he laughed dryly, pretended to be serious and said, "I want to see if Miss Cai is used to living here. Also, I asked Rob to bring someone to set up a kang for them. Is it ready?"
After hearing Han Zhan's deceptive words, Fei Cui couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.But seeing Han Zhan's cannibalistic eyes, he quickly bowed his head and stood upright, and said respectfully, "Qi Tinghou, Miss Cai has already fallen asleep, if you want to see her, you can only wait until tomorrow."
Hearing that Cai Yan had gone to bed, Han Zhan sighed in disappointment.But when he saw the beautiful jadeite in front of him, he smiled again and said: "Although there is a kang in Benhou's room, sleeping alone is still a bit lonely. I wonder if jadeite can help me warm the bed tonight. "
"Tinghou," Fei Cui looked around before speaking, and seeing that no one else was present, she said a little embarrassedly: "Jade has become popular tonight, so I can't serve Tinghou." After she finished speaking, she saw Han With a disappointed expression on his face, Zhan carefully suggested, "Why don't I ask Ah Nuan to serve you?"
Fei Cui's proposal made Han Zhan's heart flutter, he almost agreed, but suddenly thought of Lihua's face that could squeeze out water, if he stayed overnight with Ah Nuan tonight, he probably wouldn't even be able to drink herbal tea from tomorrow On the way, the food was even more difficult to swallow.Thinking of this, he immediately retreated again.He shook his head and said, "Since your body is inconvenient, forget it. This Marquis is still in mourning period and cannot marry wives and concubines. It is better not to do some things."
"There is evil heart but no courage." Hearing Han Zhan's high-sounding words, Fei Cui muttered in a low voice: "Obviously I like Ah Nuan, but I dare not let her serve you."
"What are you talking about?" Han Zhan heard what Fei Cui muttered in a low voice. He frowned and asked, "How dare you speak ill of Ben Hou in front of Ben Hou?"
"Tinghou heard it wrong." Fei Cui quickly defended with a smile on her face, "How dare Fei Cui say what Ting Hou said, don't you want to die?" After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something Said, "Oh, I almost forgot, Sister Lihua still has something to explain to me, I have to rush over to find her."
Seeing Fei Cui leaving as if fleeing, Han Zhan shook his head with a smile. He really couldn't discipline these women in the backyard.Now there are only three or four, and it has become like this. If we find a few more in the future, the world will not be in chaos.It seems that when there is a chance, he must find a powerful woman to come back and help him manage the backyard.
As soon as Han Zhan returned to his room, Patch rushed over after hearing the news.Respectfully asked: "My lord, I don't know what orders you have."
"No," Han Zhan waved his hand at Patch and said, "Go back and rest first."
After Han Zhan was left alone in the room, he began to consider the pros and cons of the Faqiu army in the city.Although with the Faqiu army, he can get a lot of treasures to supplement his military salary by robbing tombs, but at the same time, it will also have a bad impact on his reputation.You must know that in real history, Cao Cao sent troops to rob the tomb after the outbreak of the Battle of Guandu, and was severely reprimanded for what Chen Lin did in Yuzhou for Yuan Shao.Cao Cao, who was originally in pain from the headache, was startled to break out in a cold sweat after seeing it, and his head suddenly healed.
Once the matter of sending Qiu Jun is known, the person who will be reprimanded in the future will no longer be Cao Cao, but himself.Thinking of this, Han Zhan couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking that it's really hard to have both.In order to feed his own army, if he didn't search for the people, he could only start with these treasure-rich tombs.I hope that in future history books, those historians can experience their own difficulties and be merciful to their own writing.
Chapter 0155
In the early morning of the next day, Han Zhan was sitting in his study, and Patch came in and reported to him, "Master, Miss Cai is outside the door, can you let her in!"
Knowing that Cai Yan was outside the door, Han Zhan was immediately overjoyed. He quickly stood up and said to Patch, "What are you doing here, why don't you invite Miss Cai in?" Patch agreed, turned around and walked out of the study .
After a while, Cai Yan followed Patch and walked into the study.She came to Han Zhan, bent down and saluted, and said softly: "My family has seen Tinghou!"
