Three Kingdoms King of the North

When the leader of the team heard what Han Zhan said, he quickly and loudly agreed: "Your order!" After speaking, he waved at his subordinates, "Hurry up and take General Dian back to the camp."

After Dianwei was taken away, Guo Jia asked Han Zhan, "My lord, since Qingzhou has been pacified, what should we do next?"

After listening to Guo Jia's question, Han Zhan thought for a while and replied: "Let the army rest in the city for two days, and then we will join forces and go south to meet the soldiers recruited by Tai Shici, and take a few cities in Xuzhou by the way. But Before going south to Xuzhou, this Marquis has one more important thing to do."

"What's the matter?" Guo Jia asked instinctively, and then a look of astonishment appeared on his face: "Master, do you want to kill Gongsun Fan? If you do, then we and Gongsun Zan will really become immortals." Endless rivalry."

"Feng Xiao, who told you that this Marquis is going to kill Gongsun Fan?" Han Zhan looked at Guo Jia and asked in surprise, "Since Ben Marquis didn't kill the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi after he captured them, why don't you kill them?" How could you kill Gongsun Fan?"

Han Zhan's words made Guo Jia more and more confused, and he asked puzzledly: "Didn't the lord just say that there was an important thing to do before going south to Xuzhou? Could it be that what you said was not killing Gongsun Fan? "

"Of course not." Han Zhan shook his head and said, "Feng Xiao, you should still remember that when Ben Hou appointed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as the left and right pioneers, he once promised them that as long as Qingzhou was pacified, they would be allowed to leave. Regardless Whether they are wandering around or returning to Yedu to accompany Liu Xuande, this Marquis will never interfere with them."

"That's right, Jia did hear from my lord about this." Guo Jia learned that Han Zhan was going to let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go, and quickly dissuaded him, saying, "But when it comes to letting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go, Jia thinks it's inappropriate. "

"Why?" Han Zhan decided to let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go. It was simply because he had an agreement with the other party in advance. He wanted to be a trustworthy person, so he decided to let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go. He asked curiously: "This Marquis wants to let Guan and Zhang leave, what's wrong with it?"

"My lord, may I have forgotten that although you have helped Liu Xuande many times, he was bewitched by Gongsun Zan and wanted to get rid of you quickly. Although he is imprisoned in the capital's prison at the moment, because he went around claiming that he was King Jing of Zhongshan, he was deceived. Many courtiers asked them to intercede for him in front of His Majesty." Guo Jia said worriedly: "Maybe we haven't returned to Yedu, Your Majesty can't hold back the entreaties of the courtiers and release Liu Xuande from the prison. If we Letting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go at such a time, and letting them return to Liu Xuande's side, would be tantamount to returning the tiger to the mountain."

After Han Zhan originally planned to enter the city, he summoned Guan Yu and Zhang Fei directly, and told them that he had acquired Qingzhou, so he would keep his promise and let them leave.Hearing what Guo Jia said at this moment, Han Zhan couldn't help but thump in his heart. He thought that Liu Bei had been reduced to a homeless dog many times in history, but in the end he succeeded in making a comeback. Especially after recruiting Zhuge Liang, his market was even more optimistic all the way , In the end, the world can be divided into three parts.

Han Zhan, who was riding on the horseback, tapped the saddle lightly with his fingers, carefully considering what Guo Jia said: If you don't let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei leave, you will become a little boy who broke your promise. However, if Guan and Zhang are allowed to leave, the situation Guo Jia said may occur. The two continue to assist Liu Bei and become his confidant.

The problem that caused Han Zhan a headache has not yet been resolved. Zhao Yun has sent someone to invite him, saying that the prefect's mansion has been captured, and Gongsun Fan, Sun Fu, Chen Jiang, Yu Ze and others have become prisoners. Han Zhan is asked to go to the prefect's mansion as soon as possible to preside. big picture.

After arriving at the prefect's mansion, Han Zhan found that the place had been carefully cleaned, the corpses had been removed, and the blood was covered with mud. If Han Zhan didn't know that a fierce battle had taken place here, there would be no traces of the battle at all. .After Han Zhan sat down in the middle of the main hall, he said to Zhao Yun who was standing at the bottom, "Brother, where are Gongsun Fan and others now?"

"They were all put in jail for my brother." Zhao Yun thought that Han Zhan was in a hurry to deal with the generals of the Gongsun family who were captured here, so he asked tentatively, "Is the second brother planning to deal with them? If so, my brother will order the generals immediately." They brought it here."

"No need." Although he captured Gongsun Fan and the others, Han Zhan didn't intend to surrender or kill them, so the nature of seeing and seeing them is similar: "I don't plan to see them, let them stay in the prison Let's go."

After Han Zhan said this, he glanced around the room, and then asked Zhao Yun in a business-like manner, "General Zilong, I don't know where are your left and right vanguards?"

"They are going out to appease the people in the city." Hearing that Han Zhan's address had changed, Zhao Yun quickly replied respectfully, "If my lord wants to see them, I can order someone to call them here immediately."

Guo Jia, who had been silent by the side, heard that Han Zhan wanted to see Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and was worried that he would bring up the old matter again, so he coughed heavily, but Han Zhan said without turning his head: "If that's the case, then it's troublesome." General Zilong send someone to bring them both back."

Zhao Yun called one of his subordinates and ordered him to go to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. He looked at Han Zhan and asked, "My lord, I want to ask how Dian Wei's injuries are. Is there no danger to his life?"

"Of course not," Han Zhan shook his head and said, "Although he has been shot by a lot of arrows, at best he only has skin trauma. As long as he rests for a few days, he will be back to normal."

Hearing that Dian Wei was not in danger of his life, Zhao Yun also heaved a sigh of relief, "It's good that Ziman is not in danger of life. You don't know, my lord. When I climbed to the top of the city, I saw that Ziman's body was full of arrows, and he was covered in arrows. When it was blood, I raised my heart to my throat, fearing that something might happen to him. Fortunately, he was lucky, he was hit by so many arrows, and nothing happened."

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei received the notice, although they didn't know the purpose of Han Zhan's summoning, they hurried back.After the two entered the main hall, Han Zhan, who was sitting in the middle, cupped his luggage in both hands: "The final general will see the Marquis of Anyang!"

"Exemption!" Han Zhan waved his hands at the two of them and said, "Yun Chang and Yi De, do you still remember that when Ben Hou appointed you as the left and right vanguards, he once said that as long as Qingzhou is pacified, you will be freed?" You can choose whether to stay or leave. Now that Qingzhou has been pacified, it is time for this Marquis to fulfill his promise. Tell me, what are your plans?"

What Han Zhan said surprised Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. According to their thinking, since Qingzhou was pacified, the next thing to do was to turn around and go south to conquer Tao Qian in Xuzhou after the army finished resting.On the way here, the two discussed privately whether they should ask Han Zhan to fulfill his promise.But unexpectedly, before the two of them had time to mention the matter, Han Zhan would actually ask it first.

"Benhou is a man of his word," Han Zhan knew very well in his heart, the twisted melon is not sweet, the reason why Guan Yu and Zhang Fei worked for him is because Liu Bei was detained in his hands, they are for themselves The life of the sworn brother had to be compromised.Instead of waiting for the two of them to ask me to keep my promise, it's better to preemptively strike, so that I can hold the initiative in my own hands: "Now I give you two options: one is to go back to Yedu to see Liu Xuande; the other is to continue to help Ben Hou Zheng attacked Tao Qian of Xuzhou."

Hearing what Han Zhan said, Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Marquis of Anyang, my second brother and I have already made up our minds. After Qingzhou is pacified, we will leave the army immediately and go back to Yedu to visit the elder brother. What do you think, the second brother Brother?!" After Zhang Fei said these words happily, he turned his head, only to find that Guan Yu beside him was frowning, as if something was on his mind.

He looked at Guan Yu puzzled and asked, "Second brother, what's the matter with you, what's on your mind?"

"Third Brother," Guan Yu raised his head and said to Zhang Fei, "Although the Marquis of Anyang once promised us that as soon as Qingzhou was settled, he would let us go. However, I think we should not leave now, at least we should wait until Xuzhou is occupied. After that, we will return to Yedu with the army."

When Zhang Fei heard Guan Yu say this, his eyes widened: "Second Brother, don't you want to go back and see Big Brother?"

"I think so, I can't wait to fly back to Yedu to meet my eldest brother." Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei and said, "The Marquis of Anyang is so trustworthy, how can we just leave? Anyway, we have been out for so long, why don't we go?" After defeating Tao Qian, it will not be too late to return to Yedu with the army."

Hearing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were arguing over whether to stay or leave, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel happy. He knew that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a good relationship. As long as Guan Yu decided to stay and continue to help him, then Zhang Fei would definitely I can't go either.Turning to look at Guo Jia who was sitting next to him, seeing the smile on his face, he guessed that he must have the same thoughts as himself, so he coughed lightly, motioning him to come out and smooth things over.

Guo Jia, who understood, stood up quickly, saluted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and then said: "Guan Xianfeng, Zhang Xianfeng, you two don't need to argue anymore. Jia has an idea, I wonder if you two would like to listen to it?"

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other the same way, Guan Yu made a gesture of invitation to Guo Jia, and said politely: "Mr. has something to say, but it's okay to say it!"

"Now Qingzhou has been determined by my family master. After two days of rest here, the army will go south to attack Xuzhou." Guo Jia took advantage of Guan Yu's desire to repay Han Zhan's kindness, and subtly persuaded: "The two pioneers should continue to lead the army. Go south and help the Lord of our army to capture Xuzhou. If we can get the help of the two vanguards, our attack on Xuzhou will be overwhelming, and then you will be able to return to Yecheng with the army early to meet Liu Xuande."

Guan Yu's heart was moved by Guo Jia's words. He thought to himself: If he and Zhang Fei left alone, it would take at least half a month to return to Yecheng through the area controlled by the Jizhou Army.And directly lead the troops to attack the city of Xuzhou in the south, if all goes well, it will take about a month to reach the goal of the Marquis of Anyang, and return to Yecheng to see the eldest brother in half a month in the evening, presumably he will not blame himself and the third brother .

Thinking of this, Guan Yu looked at Guo Jia and said decisively: "Sir, Guan is willing to continue to be the vanguard of the Jizhou Army and charge for the Marquis of Anyang."

"Great, this is really great." Han Zhan couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard Guan Yu's attitude. He looked at Zhang Fei who was standing beside him angrily, and asked tentatively, "Brother Yide, Brother Yun decided to stay and help Benhou, I don't know how you think about it?"

According to Zhang Fei's idea, he wished to return to Yecheng to see Liu Bei immediately, but seeing Guan Yu's initiative to stay at this moment, he had to reconsider his decision to stay or stay.After a fierce ideological struggle, he stomped his feet abruptly, gritted his teeth and said, "Marquis Anyang, since my second brother is willing to stay and help you, then I will stay too."

Chapter 450

Don't look at Han Zhan saying that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are free to choose to stay or stay, but in fact he doesn't mean it. How can he be willing to let them leave for such a fierce general?After he publicly told the two of them whether to go or stay, he also regretted it in his heart, and he was deeply afraid that Guan and Zhang would go back to Yedu to find Liu Bei without hesitation.

At this moment, after hearing the answers from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He pretended to be generous and said: "The two pioneers must be very tired after fighting for several months. You might as well go back to your respective departments first. After resting here for two days, it will not be too late to lead the troops south.”

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei left, Guo Jia saw that there were only himself, Han Zhan, and Zhao Yun in the hall, so he approached Han Zhan and asked in a low voice, "My lord, if Guan and Zhang are determined to go to Yedu, why don't they go to Yedu?" How do you plan to deal with them?" As he spoke, he wiped his neck with the palm of his hand, "Do you want to send someone to kill them on the road?"

Although Guo Jia's words stopped abruptly at this point, Han Zhan still understood the other party's meaning, and shook his head and said, "Feng Xiao's words are wrong. Even if the two of you don't want to stay, I will let you go." When they leave, they will definitely not send someone to assassinate them on the road."

"But my lord, have you ever thought about it? Guan and Zhang are extremely brave. If they return to Yedu, they will definitely try to rescue Liu Bei." Guo Jia reminded Han Zhan: "Liu Xuande is not a person who has lived under others for a long time. Knowing how to leave Yedu with Guan Zhang and make a comeback elsewhere will be our deepest worries."

Regarding Guo Jia's worries, Han Zhan chuckled, and then said carelessly: "Feng Xiao is too worried. This Marquis is well aware of the bravery of Guan and Zhang. However, even if Liu Xuande gets the help of the two of them, it will be difficult for him." Become a climate."

Seeing Han Zhan's words being so sure, Guo Jia couldn't help asking curiously: "Why is my lord so confident that Liu Xuande is difficult to achieve?"

"Both Guan and Zhang are enemies of thousands of people. They can be invincible when they charge into battle, but they can only be generals and not officials." Han Zhan explained to Guo Jia: "Sun Qian and Jian Yong under Liu Bei are white-faced scholars, and they are not economical. Without the help of a genius, if he wants to achieve hegemony, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky."

When he said this, Han Zhan thought to himself: Liu Bei's so-called "Han Family Clan" identity has been proved to be false under his own help.Without this dazzling halo, it is said that there would not be so many loyal officials and generals who were loyal to the Han Dynasty to defect to him.In addition, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and others have become his subordinates, which makes Liu Bei's strength far weaker than in history. It may be very difficult for him to do anything.

"It seems that my lord has already considered this matter carefully, but Jia has been more concerned." After Guo Jia finished speaking, he changed the topic: "General Ziyi has been recruiting troops in Xuzhou for several months, but there has never been any news. I don't know if he recruited Danyang recruits for the Lord?"

After being reminded by Guo Jia, Han Zhan immediately thought that he had sent Tai Shici to Xuzhou to recruit soldiers. It has been several months now, but there is no information at all. Where it borders Xuzhou, it meets with its main force.

Thinking of this, he quickly told Zhao Yun: "Brother, immediately send competent personnel to Xuzhou to find Ziyi's whereabouts and see if he has recruited Danyang recruits."

"Obey!" Zhao Yun bowed and saluted, then turned around and walked out of the room quickly, to arrange staff outside.

"My lord," Guo Jia continued to ask, "If General Ziyi brings Danyang recruits back, how do you plan to arrange them? Should they be dispersed among the various armies, or form an army alone? If they form an army alone, who should be in charge? Commander?"

"This, this..." Han Zhanguang considered that the Danyang Army was a powerful army during the Three Kingdoms period, so he couldn't wait to order Tai Shici to recruit troops in Xuzhou. He didn't even think about how to arrange them after the army came back. At this moment, Guo Jia asked, It was speechless.

Still, Guo Jia saw Han Zhan's embarrassment, and quickly suggested to him: "My lord, didn't you name your guards Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Tiger Guards?"

"That's right, there is only one tiger and leopard cavalry now, and the Tiger Guards will not be formed until we return to Yedu." Han Zhan said here, and immediately guessed Guo Jia's off-screen voice, and quickly asked tentatively: " Feng Xiao, do you mean that the recruits from Danyang were directly organized into the Tiger Guards?"

Seeing that Han Zhan had guessed his intentions, Guo Jia nodded with a smile: "Master, Jiazheng has this intention. After General Ziyi brings this new army back, he will directly reorganize it into the Tiger Guard Army and be responsible for protecting the safety of the Lord. "

"That's very good," Han Zhan agreed with Guo Jia's suggestion, and he continued, "After Ziyi brings the new army back, it will be reorganized into the Tiger Guard Army, and Ziman will be in command."

"General Dianwei will be in command of the Tiger Guard Army?" Hearing Han Zhan's words, Guo Jia showed surprise on his face: "My lord, Ziman is extremely brave and suitable for charging on the battlefield. In Jia’s opinion, it’s better to appoint someone else.”
