Three Kingdoms King of the North

Seeing that the money bag was in Shichang's hands, Kong Rong asked coldly, "Since the money is in hand, can you hand over these common people to us?"

"Yes, yes." Shi Chang nodded his head vigorously a few times, and ordered his subordinates: "Give all the remnants of the yellow scarf to this lord from Yecheng."

Seeing that Tai Shici's troops wanted to take over the people, a corporal quickly whispered to Shichang, "Shichang, if we hand over all the remnants of the Yellow Turban to this lord, then all of our rewards will be lost." It's over."

Shi Chang shook the heavy purse in his hand, and said in a disdainful tone: "My lord's reward is much more than that given in the camp. I'll invite you brothers to drink later."

Seeing that there seemed to be a lot of money in the purse in Shichang's hand, Wu Chang didn't insist anymore, but took the initiative to hand over the remnants of the Yellow Turbans to Tai Shici and the others, then turned around and walked away.

When the Youzhou soldiers left, Kong Rong dismounted from his horse, stood in front of these people, cupped his hands and said to them, "Fathers, it's all right, you can go home."

Unexpectedly, those common people became flustered when they heard what Kong Rong said.An old man took the lead in kneeling in front of Kong Rong, kowtowed and said, "My lord, please help us. If we go home now, it won't be long before those damned officers and soldiers will be arrested again as the remnants of the Yellow Turbans." "

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he felt that someone pulled the clothes on the back vigorously and coughed heavily.The old man was awakened by the sound of coughing, and he remembered that the cavalry in front of him were also officers and soldiers?Didn't he court death if he said that to them?Thinking of this, the old man broke out in a cold sweat, knelt on the ground and shivered, not daring to say another word.

Fortunately, Kong Rong didn't notice these details. After listening to the old man's words, he turned around and asked Tai Shici, "Ziyi, what do you think about this matter?"

"My lord." Tai Shici heard the old man's words and knew that what he said was very reasonable.Although Kong Rong spent money to buy these people from Jizhou soldiers, if they were released home, they might be captured by another group of Jizhou soldiers in two days and sent to the camp for exchange. tips.At that time, we might not even be able to save our lives. Thinking of this, Tai Shici hurriedly said to Kong Rong: "I think it's better to take them with you, so as not to cause them another unreasonable disaster. After we return to Jizhou, we will find a proper place to resettle them." They are."

"However, if we take this group of people with us, our marching speed will be greatly slowed down." In order to prevent the people from suffering further losses, Kong Rong wanted to bring these people with him, but he felt that it would affect the schedule, so he seemed a little hesitant. Jue: "In this way, the matter of going to Jicheng to pass the decree will be delayed."

"My lord, don't worry." Seeing that Kong Rong was so indecisive, Tai Shici smiled wryly, and then said to him, "This announcement is to reprimand Gongsun Zan. It doesn't make any difference whether it's earlier or later."

"That's true." Regarding Tai Shici's statement, Kong Rong felt that there was some truth to it. Anyway, it was an imperial decree reprimanding others. Take these people with you. Ask them if they are hungry, and order the soldiers to bring some dry food to satisfy their hunger."

In this way, there were more than 40 ordinary people in the team of Tai Shici and Kong Rong.According to the speed of the cavalry, it would take at most two days to reach Jicheng, but because there were women and children among the people, the marching speed was seriously slowed down.According to Tai Shici's calculations, he would have to wait at least five days before arriving at Jicheng.Fortunately, the soldiers all carried enough dry food, so they didn't have to worry about starving if they ran out of dry food on the way.

Chapter 383 Han Zhan's Power

Three days later, the messenger sent by Tai Shici returned to Yecheng.

"Ziyi caught a remnant of the Yellow Turban named Zhang Ning." After reading Tai Shici's letter, Han Zhan asked Guo Jia curiously: "Feng Xiao, have you heard of her?"

"Zhang Lin?!" Guo Jia asked blankly, "I've never heard of it. Could it be that he's the Yellow Turban Bandit again?"

When Guo Jia mentioned Qu Shuai, Han Zhan immediately realized that the other party might not even know Zhang Ning's gender, and quickly explained: "Ziyi said in the letter that this person is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman. , claiming to be Zhang Ning, the daughter of Zhang Jiao. Feng Xiao, do you think she is not a fake?"

"Pretend to be Zhang Jiao's daughter?" Guo Jia was taken aback when Han Zhan said this, and then laughed loudly: "My lord's words are wrong. If you pretend to be the daughter of an official in the court, Jia thinks it is possible. If you pretend to be a rebel Girl, didn’t you commit suicide? From Yi Jia’s point of view, this woman must be Zhang Jiao’s daughter.”

Han Zhan thought about it for a while, and felt that he had never seen Zhang Jiao have a daughter in the book.It stands to reason that even if there is a daughter, after the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, all relatives of the Zhang family should have been slaughtered.How could there be another missing fish, and by such a coincidence, it was caught by Tai Shici.

He looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Feng Xiao, what do you think we should do with her?"

"Since she is the daughter of the rebel, then kill her directly." After Guo Jia said this, seeing Han Zhan's unbearable expression on his face, he quickly added: "But because she was young, she never If Zhang Jiao and others rebel against the imperial court, let her be rewarded with a whole body."

Han Zhan understood that what Guo Jia said about rewarding her with a whole body was to suggest that he use white silk or poisoned wine to kill the other party and leave the other party with a complete body.But to Han Zhan, it was a death anyway, and it made no difference whether or not the whole body was left behind.He shook his head and said, "Feng Xiao, you just said that she never fought against the court with Zhang Jiao. The only thing wrong with her is that she shouldn't be Zhang Jiao's daughter. Based on this alone, she can't be blamed." until death."

"Then how should we deal with her?" Guo Jia seemed to remind Han Zhan: "If the ministers of the DPRK and China know about this, they will definitely impeach you."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Han Zhan laughed dryly, and then said, "Feng Xiao, do you think that in the court, is this Marquis afraid of those ministers of Wu? Or are the ministers of Wu afraid of me?"

Regarding Han Zhan's question, Guo Jia thought for a while, and finally replied with a wry smile: "My lord is right. Although my lord keeps a low profile, since Jizhou is my lord's territory, even the soldiers guarding the palace are Jizhou soldiers. Everyone is worried that the lord will become another Dong Zhuo, so naturally they dare not offend you easily."

"Although this Marquis is not afraid of the ministers of the court." Fortunately, Han Zhan is not an arrogant and domineering person. Although the lives of Chao Zhongwu and even Han Xiandi are completely in his own hands, he has never thought about eradicating those who are with him. Dissidents.Even though he spared Zhang Ning's life, the ministers in the court did not dare to say anything, but he still decided to keep a low profile: "However, it is better to keep the matter of Zhang Ning secret. As long as the ministers in the court do not know what is behind Zhang Ning, Who will impeach this Marquis?"

Han Zhan finally told Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, you immediately send someone to send a letter to Ziyi, ordering him to send Zhang Ning back to Yecheng secretly, and don't leak any information."

"Please don't worry, my lord." Hearing Han Zhan's order, Guo Jia quickly replied, "This subordinate will never disgrace the mission. However, Jia thinks it is possible to send Rob to Jicheng and pick him up without anyone noticing. Zhang Ning, I don't know what the Lord wants?"

"What Feng Xiao said is very true." Han Zhan nodded after hearing this, and then called Rob who was standing aside, and told him, "Rob, the Marquis will give you ten cavalrymen, and you will rush to Jicheng day and night. , find Tai Shici, and bring Zhang Ning back from him. Remember, this matter must be kept secret, and you must not let the slightest rumor go by.”

After receiving the order, Rob took the letter written by Guo Jia and the ten knights assigned to him by Han Zhan, and hurried to Jicheng.

It took Rob and others two and a half days to arrive at the military camp outside Jicheng.As soon as he saw Tai Shici, he presented Han Zhan's letter and told the other party: "Brother Ziyi, I was ordered by my lord to bring Zhang Ning back to Yecheng. When you hand her over to me, remember to dress her up like an ordinary soldier."

"I understand." Tai Shici nodded, and asked back: "Guard Luo, don't you stay here for one night before leaving?"

"No, my lord told me to go back early, so I don't dare to stay longer." After Rob finished speaking, he found that Kong Rong didn't seem to be in the camp, so he asked curiously, "Brother Zi Yi, I don't know where Master Kong Rong has gone?"

Tai Shici pouted in the direction of the city, and said, "Ever since he entered the city to deliver the decree, he has never been seen. Someone sent someone into the city to inquire, and learned that he was either hunting with Gongsun Zan, or staying with Liu Youzhou. Having banquets in the mansion, the days are very happy."

After hearing this, Rob couldn't help sneering, and he said to Tai Shici: "My lord was worried that Kong Rong would be made things difficult by Gongsun Zan when he went to Jicheng to preach the decree, so he specially ordered his son and righteous brother to escort him with troops and horses. Who would have thought that his life would be so smooth?" Chic, it looks like the lord is worrying for nothing."

Rob rested in the camp for two hours. After changing horses, he asked Tai Shici to bring Zhang Ning, who was disguised as a soldier.Just as he was about to set off, Zhang Ning suddenly said, "My family doesn't know how to ride a horse!"

Zhang Ning's words made it difficult for Rob. You can't ride a horse, so I can't get you a carriage, right?That is tantamount to telling Gongsun Zan in Jicheng that I have an important person here, so hurry up and bring someone to arrest her.In the end, Tai Shici suggested: "Guard Luo, although Zhang Ning doesn't know how to ride a horse, you can share a ride with her."

Three days later, the messenger sent by Tai Shici returned to Yecheng.

"Ziyi caught a remnant of the Yellow Turban named Zhang Ning." After reading Tai Shici's letter, Han Zhan asked Guo Jia curiously: "Feng Xiao, have you heard of her?"

"Zhang Lin?!" Guo Jia asked blankly, "I've never heard of it. Could it be that he's the Yellow Turban Bandit again?"
