Three Kingdoms King of the North

"Yes." Guo Jia nodded vigorously, indicating that what he said was true.

With gunpowder and oil, if these two things can be used reasonably, then in the next battle, Han Zhan feels that he should not be able to find his enemy in the whole world.Just when he was complacent, he suddenly heard Guo Jia ask: "My lord, Jia heard that the gunpowder refining workshop caught fire last night. I don't know what happened?"

"Feng Xiao, the situation is like this." Hearing Guo Jia's question, Han Zhan quickly passed Ju Shou through the alchemist to find out the gunpowder formula. What kind of experience, he was afraid that the dew would wet the gunpowder, so he put the gunpowder next to the stove, which caused the fire.”

Just as Han Zhan was halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered something else, and hurriedly said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, immediately send someone to inform the transporter of the stone fat water, never let the stone fat water get close to the fire source. "

Guo Jia looked at Han Zhan blankly and asked, "Master, why is this?"

Han Zhan said dumbfoundedly: "Feng Xiao, you don't know something. Shizhi water is the most terrible burning thing in the world. Once it burns, it can't be extinguished even with water. So you must send someone to tell you immediately. Subordinates, tell them not to let Shizhi water get close to the fire source, otherwise they will put themselves in danger."

"This subordinate understands." Hearing what Han Zhan said, Guo Jia immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and quickly got up and said, "Subordinate will go back and send someone to deliver the letter. Farewell!"

Guo Jia walked forward, and someone walked into Han Zhan's house behind him.Han Zhan thought it was Rob who came, so he ordered: "Robu, go and tell Patch to prepare breakfast for me." Before he finished speaking, Han Zhan smelled a faint fragrance. He quickly looked up and found that The one standing in front of him was not Rob, but Xia Houyun who was left out by him.

Han Zhan got up quickly, walked in front of Xia Houyun, held her hand, and asked with concern: "Yun'er, why did you wake up so early?"

"Young master." Although Xia Houyun always called Han Zhan the master in public, but in private, she followed Lihua and others to call Han Zhan the son.Xia Houyun asked with a blushing face: "Sister Ning has been with my righteous brother's army for more than a month, and there is no news so far. The slave family is very conceptual. When I passed by outside, I saw the light in the son's room, so I went Come in and have a look, and find out if there is any news about Sister Ning."

The news that Zhao Yun wiped out 40 yellow scarf thieves in Qingzhou and was made a marquis has not been mentioned by Han Zhan to anyone in the backyard so far, so Xia Houyun knows nothing about it.When Han Zhan heard Xia Houyun asked about Zhao Yun and Zhang Ning, he coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment: "Yun'er, I got news from Qingzhou yesterday that your righteous brother, my elder brother Zhao Yun, and Zhang Ning In Qingzhou, 40 Yellow Turban thieves were wiped out by combining suppression and appeasement."

"Ah, 40 yellow scarf thieves?" After hearing what Han Zhan said, Xia Houyun couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise, because the news was so shocking.She asked in an unbelievable tone: "Master, is this all true?"

"Of course it's true." Han Zhan nodded and said, "In order to reward my eldest brother's military achievements, the Holy One has made him Marquis of Guannei."

"Marquis of Guannei?!" For Xia Houyun, the news Han Zhan said was more shocking than the other.She didn't speak after listening, but stared at Han Zhan non-stop.

Seeing Xiahou Yun staring intently at him, Han Zhan was a little embarrassed: "Yun'er, what are you doing staring at Benhou?"

"Young master, tell the servants." Xia Houyun asked with a smile in his eyes: "Could it be that what you said just now was fabricated on purpose to please the servants? My brother-in-law has only set off for a month, how could it be possible to wipe out 40 yellow scarf thieves?" , and was conferred the title of Marquis of Guannei by the Holy One?"

Seeing that Xia Houyun didn't believe him, Han Zhan was a little speechless.After a long time, he sighed and said, "Yun'er, do you think this Marquis would fabricate such unimaginable things to please you?"

Xia Houyun heard Han Zhan's displeasure from his tone of voice, and asked in surprise, "Master, is everything you said true?"

"Of course it's true." Han Zhan nodded vigorously.

"However," Xia Houyun said with some doubts, "My family also served in the army. If the number of yellow scarf thieves killed by my righteous brother was more than a dozen or 20, it is more or less possible. But 40 is too unbelievable." Right? You know, the soldiers and horses that my righteous brother brought to Qingzhou are only [-]."

"Yun'er, what Benhou said is true." Seeing that Xia Houyun still didn't believe what he said, Han Zhan said dumbfoundedly: "If you don't believe it, Benhou will take you to Qingzhou to let you If you ask my eldest brother, your righteous brother Zhao Zilong, and that little sister Ning face to face, won't everything become clear?"

"My lord, are you going to take my family to Qingzhou?" Xia Houyun's eyes sparkled when he heard what Han Zhan said, "Is this true? It's not a lie deliberately made up to make my family happy, right?"

"How could this be fake?" Han Zhan said impatiently to Xia Houyun's question, "It's more real than real gold and silver."

Chapter 408 Coincidence

After Han Zhan's explanation, Guo Jia and Xun Yu realized that the "tiger and leopard riders" and "tiger guards" that Han Zhan mentioned were all guards and horses responsible for protecting his safety.

Guo Jia thought for a while, and said to Han Zhan: "My lord, there are only Dian Wei and Chen Dao in the accompanying military generals, which is a bit short. You can bring two more, so we can rest assured."

"Xia Houyun will also go to Qingzhou with me." Han Zhan said a little coyly: "With her protection, I think there will be no threat to me."

"How about Brother Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang?" Although he heard that Han Zhan planned to bring Xia Houyun with him, Guo Jia still added: "These two brothers are good at martial arts, and the Lord will bring them by your side. Sooner or later they will be of great use."

Regarding the plan proposed by Guo Jia, Han Zhan did not object, but nodded and said, "Okay, then the Marquis will bring Brother Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang along."

"I don't know when the lord will leave?" Xun Yu thought of Han Zhan's going to Qingzhou and had to do a lot of preparations, so he asked quickly: "Your subordinates should also make preparations for the lord."

"The people who went to Qingzhou with Benhou this time are all cavalry, and there is nothing to prepare." Han Zhan thought that the soldiers and horses he brought to Qingzhou this time were all cavalry, so he didn't need any civilians to pass by, so he said simply : "Leave in the afternoon."

Regarding Han Zhan's long journey, many ministers of the DPRK and China who got the news secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Although Han Zhan behaved very low-key in the court and had never been domineering, but for the courtiers who had experienced the chaos of Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, Han Zhan would be another Dong Zhuo sooner or later, and they could not help but be on guard against him. Seeing him leaving Yedu, someone actually wanted to hold a banquet to celebrate.

After Jushou got the news, he immediately came to discuss with Guo Jia.After he finished telling Guo Jia what he had heard, he asked tentatively: "Feng Xiao, my lord keeps a low profile, but there are still many people in the court who regard him as a confidant, do you think we can find a way to get rid of these things?" people?"

After hearing this, Guo Jia didn't express his opinion immediately, but asked instead: "Do you have a list?"

"Yes." Jushou said, took out a piece of cloth from his bosom, handed it to Guo Jia, and said: "The courtiers who are dissatisfied with the lord are all recorded on this cloth."

Guo Jia took the cloth from Jushou's hand, carefully browsed the contents, and found that they were all names and corresponding official positions. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Gongyu, I don't know where you got this list from?"

"Returning to the military division," Ju Shou replied respectfully, "This list was collected secretly by one of his subordinates named Mo Quan. There may be omissions in it, but they are still being added."

"Okay, Gongyu, let's end this matter." Guo Jia handed the cloth back to Jushou, and said to him: "If so many ministers are really eradicated, then the master's reputation of domineering and domineering will be confirmed. With so many officials missing at once, there is no way to replenish them in a hurry, and it will be difficult to explain to the master at that time."

"However, they slandered the lord in private and spread rumors everywhere to slander the lord." Seeing that Guo Jia returned the cloth to himself, Jushou couldn't help but said anxiously: "If you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."

"Gongyu, this matter is very important, neither you nor I can make decisions without authorization." Guo Jia saw that Jushou was really thinking about Han Zhan, so he said to him: "In Jia's opinion, this matter should wait until the Lord returns from Qingzhou. It’s not too late to report to him.”

Seeing that Guo Jia was unwilling to ask about this matter, Ju Shou, who had hit a soft nail, could only get up and leave, and left in embarrassment.But he thought in his heart: This matter is of great importance, if we wait for the lord to come back to deal with it, it may be too late.So as soon as he returned to the mansion, he quickly wrote a letter to Han Zhan, called his confidant Mo Quan, and said to him, "Hurry to Qingzhou quickly, and hand this letter to the lord."

Mo Quan took the letter in Jushou's hand, and quickly replied, "Here!"

Besides, after Han Zhan left Yedu, he was eager to go to Qingzhou to meet Zhao Yun, so he ordered to speed up, and camped after traveling two hundred miles a day.If it is the cavalry of other princes, it may not be able to complete Han Zhan's order, but after the cavalry of Jizhou is equipped with stirrups, new saddles and horseshoes, its mobility has been greatly improved.

Before dark, the soldiers and horses came to camp in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers.Since they were all cavalry, it was impossible to build any large-scale camps, so Han Zhan ordered to camp by the water.The purpose of doing this, besides the convenience of fetching water and drinking horses, does not need to send too many troops to guard in this direction.

After the camp was set up, Chen Dao saw that Han Zhan had not sent any patrols to patrol the camp except for a few sentries in several directions of the camp, so he suggested to him: "My lord, we are camping outside. It is far from enough to send sentries in four directions, how about sending two patrols to patrol the camp?"

Han Zhan felt that he was marching on his own territory with [-] soldiers and horses, so he should not encounter any threats.So when Chen Dao said this, he said absent-mindedly: "Uncle Zhi, we are still in Jizhou. Seeing our army appear, those little thieves have no time to hide. How dare you provoke us? Soldiers rush After two hundred miles, they are exhausted, let them have a good rest."

Unexpectedly, when Chen Dao heard what Han Zhan said, he insisted unrelentingly: "Master, if there is no patrol team in the camp, once they are attacked by surprise, only a few sentries will not be able to stop them."

Seeing Chen Dao's stubbornness, Han Zhan knew that the other party was thinking about his own safety, so he waved his hand and said impatiently, "The Marquis knows. Uncle Zhi, you can arrange the camp tour yourself."

After Han Zhan's explanation, Guo Jia and Xun Yu realized that the "tiger and leopard riders" and "tiger guards" that Han Zhan mentioned were all guards and horses responsible for protecting his safety.

Guo Jia thought for a while, and said to Han Zhan: "My lord, there are only Dian Wei and Chen Dao in the accompanying military generals, which is a bit short. You can bring two more, so we can rest assured."

"Xia Houyun will also go to Qingzhou with me." Han Zhan said a little coyly: "With her protection, I think there will be no threat to me."

"How about Brother Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang?" Although he heard that Han Zhan planned to bring Xia Houyun with him, Guo Jia still added: "These two brothers are good at martial arts, and the Lord will bring them by your side. Sooner or later they will be of great use."

Regarding the plan proposed by Guo Jia, Han Zhan did not object, but nodded and said, "Okay, then the Marquis will bring Brother Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang along."

"I don't know when the lord will leave?" Xun Yu thought of Han Zhan's going to Qingzhou and had to do a lot of preparations, so he asked quickly: "Your subordinates should also make preparations for the lord."
