Three Kingdoms King of the North

Han Zhan is on the left and right in the middle of the meeting hall, and the military officials are on the left and right.

Zhao Yun stood up first and reported the results of the night to Han Zhan.Han Zhan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, with a satisfied smile on his face, because from this moment on, Yecheng is his own.If I had known that Yecheng could be taken so easily, why did I mess around, because Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were going to return the captives, and I was going to ask the court to play Yuan Shao as the shepherd of Yanzhou.Now that Yuan Shao has fled, Yecheng fell into his hands like a ripe apple.

After Zhao Yun finished his report, it was Xun You who came out again to report on the release of the list to secure the people and acceptance of the treasury.Han Zhan couldn't help being overjoyed to learn that the money and food in the city could support an army of [-] for a year.

After all the reports were completed, Huang Zhong stood up from the queue and said angrily, "My lord, there is one thing I don't know at the end, so please give me your advice."

Although Huang Zhong didn't explain what was going on, Han Zhan already knew it well. He smiled and asked, "Han Sheng, you want to ask, why did the Marquis let go of Chou, who was so hard to catch?"

"That's right!" Huang Zhongweng replied angrily.

Han Zhan smiled lightly, and then Shi Potian said in shock: "Han Sheng is not here, no matter whether Ben Hou let go of Chou, he also let go of Yuan Benchu."

"What, my lord released Yuan Benchu?" After hearing the news, except Guo Jia, Xun You, Ju Shou, Meng Dai and a few people who knew the inside story, the rest of the Wus were so surprised that their jaws almost hit the ground.

Huang Zhong asked puzzledly: "My lord, since you can capture Yuan Shao, why do you let him go? Isn't this going back to the mountain with endless troubles?"

"A living Yuan Benchu ​​is far better than a dead Marquis of Bei." Han Zhan just smiled lightly at Huang Zhong's doubts, and then said: "With time, Han Sheng will naturally understand the painstaking efforts of this Marquis."

After the discussion was over, all the warriors dispersed, leaving only Guo Jia and Zhao Yun.Guo Jia had something to say to Han Zhan in private, but seeing Zhao Yun sitting still in his seat, he asked curiously, "General Zilong, do you have something to do with the lord?"

"A little personal matter." Zhao Yun replied a little awkwardly: "If Feng Xiao has something to do, please discuss it with the lord first. It doesn't matter if Yun waits for a while."

Guo Jia understood Zhao Yun's character and knew that he would never stay if he had nothing important to do, so he explained clearly to Han Zhan what he wanted to discuss in a few words, and got up to leave.

Seeing that he and Zhao Yun were the only ones in the conference hall, Han Zhan got up and walked over, and asked with a smile, "Brother is staying here today, must there be something important?"

"Second brother, no, my lord!" Zhao Yun first habitually called Han Zhan's second brother, but then felt that something was wrong, so he quickly changed the address: "Two days ago, the last general was ordered to lead his troops to camp outside the east gate, and someone from the city came out. See you at the end."

"Brother, you and I are sworn brothers, so there is no need to be so polite." Han Zhan turned around and walked back to his seat to sit down, and then asked, "I don't know what people from the city have talked to my brother?" He said this While talking, a question could not help but arise in my heart: the four gates of Yecheng were closed, even Qianzhao and Feng Li could not leave the city, but how could someone from the east gate leave the city?Could it be that Yuan Shao sent someone to persuade Zhao Yun to surrender?

Zhao Yun couldn't guess what Han Zhan was thinking, but reported the truth: "The person who came is my cousin Zhen Yan."

Hearing the name Zhen Yan, Han Zhan immediately thought of the famous beauty Zhen Yan in the Three Kingdoms, and quickly asked: "I wonder what cousin Zhen Yan said?"

When Zhao Yun heard that Han Zhan called Zhen Yan his cousin, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he was relieved. He and Han Zhan are sworn brothers, and his age is younger than his cousin Zhen Yan. There is nothing wrong with calling him a cousin. .Then he continued: "He said that my aunt knew that the lord led Jizhou troops to surround Yecheng, and Yuan Xi's whereabouts were unknown, so she didn't want to let my cousin Zhen Mi be a widow, so she planned to betroth her to the lord."

Knowing that Mrs. Zhen planned to betroth Zhen Mi to him, Han Zhan felt that he was hit by a stack of pies falling from the sky, which made him a little dizzy.He thought to himself: Could this be true?Don't be my fault, right?Thinking of this, he twisted his leg vigorously, and the pain that instantly spread to the brain nerves made him understand that he was not dreaming, and what he heard was true.

Han Zhan originally wanted to agree to this, but when he opened his mouth, he felt that he was too hasty to do so, and might frighten Mrs. Zhen, so he pretended to be calm and said: "Brother, Mrs. Zhen really agreed to betroth Mi'er to you." Me?"

"That's right," Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Cousin is still in her prime, even if she is engaged, she will have to wait five or six years before marrying into the Han family."

Zhao Yun's five or six-year deadline reminded Han Zhan that he seemed to be still in mourning, and it would take three years before he could talk about marriage.So he nodded slowly, and said to Zhao Yun: "Since Mrs. Zhen has such kind intentions, this Marquis will not refuse. How about this, elder brother, you go to Zhen's mansion on behalf of Benhou, and see when Mrs. Zhen will come back. So empty, this Marquis will visit in person."

As soon as Zhao Yun left the conference hall, Han Zhan hurried back to the back hall.Once in the back hall, he yelled, "Rob, Rob!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he yelled, a guard standing in the yard said to him respectfully: "My lord, Luo Junhou is still recuperating in Guantao, and has never come to Yecheng."

After being reminded by the guards, Han Zhan immediately remembered that Rob, who had just been promoted by him, was still lying in Guantao's guard mansion, being taken care of by the eighth aunt who had affection for him.Han Zhan thought to himself, it's a pity that Aunt Ba is not here, otherwise he could ask her for advice on what gifts to bring when visiting Zhen's residence.

After half an hour, Zhao Yun came to see him again.

Hearing that Zhao Yun was coming, Han Zhan rushed out of the room to greet him.After a few words of politeness, Zhao Yun was invited into the room.After the two sat down and the servants served tea, Han Zhan couldn't wait to ask, "Brother, I don't know if you are going to Zhen's residence, what does Mrs. Zhen say?"

"Second brother," Zhao Yun did not address Han Zhan as the lord in such a private situation, but he hesitated: "I just visited my aunt in Zhen's mansion."

Seeing Zhao Yun like this, Han Zhan couldn't help but thump in his heart, and secretly said that it would not be a long-term success, and Mrs. Zhen would change her mind again?Quickly asked: "Brother, if there is something, it's okay to say it, the younger brother is already mentally prepared."

"It's like this," Zhao Yun said with some embarrassment: "At the beginning, my aunt sent Zhen Yan out of the city to meet me because Jizhou soldiers and horses besieged Yecheng. Mi is betrothed to the second brother. But now that our army has entered the city and Qiu has committed no crimes, she has changed her mind a little bit."

"Changed your mind?!" Hearing this, Han Zhan was a little dumbfounded. The cooked duck that was about to be brought to him actually grew wings and flew away: "Could it be that Mrs. Zhen really regrets the marriage?"

"This, this," Zhao Yun said with a flushed face, "My aunt didn't say she regretted the marriage, but she said that one daughter does not marry two husbands, and if you want to betroth Zhen Mi's cousin to your second brother, you must first marry the Yuan family. Just resign."

"Yuan Shao doesn't even know where he went. Where can I find the Yuan family to divorce?" Han Zhan said halfway, when he suddenly remembered that Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were still locked in the prison in Jizhou City, and he immediately felt confident. Confidently said: "Then Ben Hou immediately sent someone to take the Yuan family brothers here, and asked them to write a divorce letter, so that I can go to the Zhen Mansion to propose marriage."

"A living Yuan Benchu ​​is far better than a dead Marquis of Bei." Han Zhan just smiled lightly at Huang Zhong's doubts, and then said: "With time, Han Sheng will naturally understand the painstaking efforts of this Marquis."

After the discussion was over, all the warriors dispersed, leaving only Guo Jia and Zhao Yun.Guo Jia had something to say to Han Zhan in private, but seeing Zhao Yun sitting still in his seat, he asked curiously, "General Zilong, do you have something to do with the lord?"

Chapter 243 Yuan Shao's Choice

Yuan Shao and others escaped from Yecheng and ran westward in the middle of the night.By dawn, it was exhausted.Yan Liang said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, I have been traveling all night and we are far away from Yecheng. Why don't we find a place to rest."
