Three Kingdoms King of the North

"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."

"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?"

Chapter 409 Trip to Qingzhou

Knowing that the person in front of him was related to the assassin who almost took his life back then, Rob couldn't help but spit blood to his head. If he hadn't heard Han Zhan said he wanted to ask something, he would have rushed forward and chopped him into meat paste.

Chen Dao, who came over after hearing the news, saw that he had been caught at this moment, so he hurried over to plead guilty to Han Zhan: "My lord, the last general is incompetent, and let the assassin touch the lord's tent, please punish me."

Han Zhan walked up to Chen Dao, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder twice, and said, "Uncle Zhi, you are not only innocent, but also meritorious. If you hadn't insisted on arranging the patrol team, I'm afraid the Marquis would have died." In the hands of assassins."

Dian Wei stuck the two halberds behind his back, and also came over curiously and asked, "My lord, what's going on?"

"The assassin was discovered by the patrolling soldiers when he entered Benhou's tent." Han Zhan introduced the situation to the two: "Benhou was still asleep at the time, and vaguely heard someone roaring outside the tent, and then He was hugged and rolled aside by someone. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was Yun'er who rolled to the side of the tent with Ben Hou in his arms, and there was a man holding a dagger squatting in front of Ben Hou's bed."

After Han Zhan introduced the situation to the two of them, he looked at Xia Houyun and said with emotion, "If Yun'er hadn't rescued me, I'm afraid this Marquis would have died by now."

When Dian Wei and Chen Dao heard that it was Xia Houyun who saved Han Zhan, they hurriedly bowed to her and said, "Thank you, Miss Xiahou! If Miss Xiahou hadn't saved the lord, the last general would have died."

"The two generals are too modest." After Xia Houyun calmly accepted the two salutes, she first said to Chen Dao: "If Commander Chen hadn't insisted on sending soldiers to patrol the camp, my family would not have heard the soldiers' warnings, nor We couldn’t rescue the lord in time.” Then he turned to Dian Wei and said, “General Dian didn’t come too late, almost a moment after the battalion patrol soldiers gave the warning, he appeared outside our tent.”

When Dian Wei heard Xia Houyun's words, he quickly explained: "The final general was worried about the danger of the lord, so he stayed in the nearby tent with dozens of soldiers without taking off his armor. Lead someone to rush out to save the Lord."

After the doctor had wrapped up the assassin's wound, Han Zhan ordered the assassin to be brought in front of him, and asked with a straight face, "Tell me, who is the envoy for you to come here to assassinate this lord?"

After the assassin heard this, he sneered at first, and then asked back: "I wonder if you want to know the mastermind of the last assassination by the Zhangshui River, or this time?"

Han Zhan was eager to find out who wanted his life on the way to welcome Yuan Shao back to Jizhou, so he said unhurriedly: "Let's talk about the last time by the Zhangshui River first!"

"The last time we were by the Zhangshui River, our brothers took money from Zhu Zhen, the son of Zhu Han, the capital official of Jizhou, to take your life." The assassin looked at Han Zhan and said coldly, "It's a pity you In that case, you escaped with your life."

Han Zhan thought that if Zhao Yun and Rob hadn't been there at that time, he probably would have lost his life.Although after analysis at that time, Zhu Zhen, who had a grudge against him, was the most suspected person, but there was no real evidence.Hearing what the assassin said now, he finally let go of his worries.

After a short pause, Han Zhan continued to ask: "The assassination by the Zhangshui River, the Marquis has long guessed that it was Zhu Zhenzhu who made it. It seems that the guess is not wrong. Tell me, who is the master this time." of?"

The assassin sneered twice, and said: "No one is in charge this time. I just passed through Yecheng. When I saw you leaving the city with soldiers and horses, I remembered the hatred of those brothers in the past, so I came here specially to look for you and want to do it for them. Revenge. Since I have been captured by you, I will not frown."

"Robu, I remember that in the military camp by the Zhangshui River, you were stabbed in the back in order to save Ben Hou. Is this the case?" After Han Zhan finished speaking, he paused for a moment to observe Rob's expression.Seeing him gritted his teeth and nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case, he ordered: "This Marquis will hand over this person to you."

The assassin didn't expect Han Zhan to hand himself over to Rob, and he couldn't help showing a look of horror on his face.When Rob heard that Han Zhan asked him to deal with the assassin, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly ordered the two soldiers who were escorting the assassin: "Take him to the river, and I must deal with him properly."

When Rob and two soldiers escorted the assassin towards the river, Xia Houyun hurriedly approached Han Zhan's ear and whispered to him, "My lord, I think this assassin may have been sent by a minister in the court. Why did you deal with him before asking for a confession?"

Han Zhan tilted his head and whispered to Xia Houyun: "Yun'er, don't look at him acting indifferent when he admitted that the assassination by the Zhangshui River was done by him, but if Benhou really asked who was in the court Instigated, maybe he will gossip about and implicate innocent officials. That's why the Marquis handed him over to Rob. As for whether he is willing to confess truthfully, it is simply insignificant to this Marquis."

Knowing that the person in front of him was related to the assassin who almost took his life back then, Rob couldn't help but spit blood to his head. If he hadn't heard Han Zhan said he wanted to ask something, he would have rushed forward and chopped him into meat paste.

Chen Dao, who came over after hearing the news, saw that he had been caught at this moment, so he hurried over to plead guilty to Han Zhan: "My lord, the last general is incompetent, and let the assassin touch the lord's tent, please punish me."
