""The Match of the Immortals"" Seeing Guo Jia's interest in "The Match of the Immortals", Han Zhan coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and began to introduce this drama to him "Scholar Dong Yong sells himself as a slave to the Fu family, The father was buried with the money he got, and his filial piety touched the heavens. Just because the seven fairies had the meaning of thinking about the world, the Jade Emperor ordered the seven fairies to go down to earth and marry Dong Yong for a hundred days. On the day Dong Yong went to work, he married the seven fairies under the locust tree. The latter seven fairies weaved ten bolts of brocade silk overnight, and Fu Yuanwai changed the three-year long-term labor to a hundred years; Dong Yong and the seven fairies were adopted as adopted sons and daughters. After the hundred days expired, the husband and wife resigned from work and went home. On the way, the seven fairies told Dong Yong told the truth, and presented Luo Qun and a white fan treasure, and agreed that on February [-]th of the next year, after seeing off his son, he would return to the Heavenly Court under the locust tree..." Although Han Zhan's description of the pairing of immortals is familiar to everyone in later generations There is a big discrepancy in the Huangmei opera in the past, but Guo Jia still listens to it with gusto.

After Han Zhan finished speaking, Guo Jia was still unsatisfied, and asked repeatedly, "Master, this "Pairing of Immortals" is really wonderful, but what about "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" and "Chasing Fish"?"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Seeing Guo Jia's impatient look, Sokov couldn't help laughing, "Feng Xiao, "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "Chasing Fish" may take some time, you should rest assured Listen to "Pairing of Immortals"." After finishing speaking, Han Zhan stood up, raised his hand and interrupted the women who were singing, and told them, "Sing "The Son-in-Law" first, and now sing "Feng Xiao" Heaven Matching."

The two women who were singing agreed, turned around and returned to the wing room not far away, ready to change into new costumes, and then came to sing "Pairing of Immortals" for Han Zhan and Guo Jia.

Chapter 504 Chen Gong Visits

When these band girls first started learning Huangmei Opera, it was Han Zhan who sang a line and they learned a line.But they are talented and intelligent, and within half a day, they learned "The Female Consort".Now that they have learned one play, it will be much easier to learn another play. Han Zhan took out the script of "Pairing the Immortals", and they knew how to sing almost as soon as they finished reading it.They all knew that Guo Jia was Han Zhan's most valued subordinate, so they naturally spared no effort in singing, and Guo Jia was fascinated by listening to Guo Jia.

Han Zhan saw that Guo Jia was so devoted, and felt that the hard work he had put in for the early release of Huangmei Opera was finally not in vain.Taking advantage of the time when the first act was finished, he asked Guo Jia with a sideways face: "Feng Xiao, what do you think of this Huangmei Opera?"

"Very good, very good." After Guo Jia nodded vigorously, he asked Han Zhan tentatively: "My lord, there are also many singers in the mansion under my command. I wonder if you can let these girls from the music workshop sing this Huangmei Opera, Pass it on to them one by one?"

After the master of the army returned to the court, Han Zhan ordered people to send many singers to Guo Jia, so that he would not always go to the brothel and find no one when he was in a hurry.Guo Jia readily accepted Han Zhan's reward, and stayed in the mansion every day to drink and have fun.Hearing the Huangmei Opera that sounded like the sound of nature at this moment, Guo Jia felt that the songs sung by the singers in his mansion had become insipid, so he rashly made such a request to Han Zhan.

Han Zhan would naturally not refuse Guo Jia's request.He nodded and said: "No problem, you can send the singers from the mansion to learn, or you can let these girls from the music workshop go to your mansion to teach."

Seeing that Han Zhan agreed to his request, Guo Jia couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to salute Han Zhan: "In that case, Jia would like to thank my lord for your kindness."

"Feng Xiao, this is a trivial matter, so there is no need to be so polite." Han Zhan raised his hand and beckoned Guo Jia to sit down: "Sit down now, the next scene will be more exciting."

Guo Jia sat down and was about to continue listening to the play, but saw Rob who had just left and walked over quickly.Guo Jia could tell from the expression on Rob's face that he had something urgent to report to Han Zhan, so he couldn't help but cast a curious look at Han Zhan.

"Rob!" Han Zhan stood up and asked Rob who was hurrying over, "What's the matter?"

"Report to my lord!" Rob stopped five or six steps away from Han Zhan, cupped his fists and saluted, and reported, "You Dongjun is in charge of Chengong Chen Gongtai, please see me!"

"Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai?" Hearing this name, Han Zhan couldn't help but turned his head and glanced at Guo Jia who was standing beside him, as if he was talking to himself or asking Guo Jia: "Why did he come to my place?"

How did Guo Jia know what Chen Gong was here for.He pondered for a while, then said to Han Zhan: "My lord, except for the last time Dongjun borrowed food and Man Chong reported the news, we have no contact with Dongjun. Jia really can't think of what Chen Gongtai is here for. "

Seeing that Guo Jia couldn't guess Chen Gong's intention, Han Zhan told Rob: "Robu, take the public platform and wait in the main hall first, and Feng Xiao and I will arrive later."

As soon as Rob turned to leave, Han Zhan waved at the girls in the music workshop, signaling them to back off.After all the girls had entered the room assigned to them, Han Zhan turned to Guo Jia and asked, "Feng Xiao, tell me, what is Chen Gongtai's purpose in coming to Yedu?"

"East County has just harvested food not long ago, so there should be no more food shortages." Guo Jia frowned, and analyzed to Han Zhan: "Even if there are thieves in East County, Cao Mengde's strength is enough. There is no need to ask us to send troops to encircle and suppress? It is really puzzling for Chen Gongtai to come here.

Could it be that the courtiers who were demoted sent letters to Cao Mengde again?If that's the case, then you have to guard against it.To be on the safe side, the subordinate felt that it was better to send someone to kill them to avoid future troubles. "

"Feng Xiao, be safe and don't be impatient." Regarding Guo Jia's proposal, Han Zhan said with a normal expression: "It's not too late to make a decision after Ben Hou asks Chen Gong what's going on."

The two came to the main hall, where Chen Gong was already waiting.Seeing Han Zhan's arrival, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The palace has met the Marquis of Anyang."

"Gongtai, don't come here without any problems." Han Zhan bowed his hands to Chen Gong, and it was right to return the gift.After calling Chen Gong to sit down, he didn't wait for the other party to speak, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what the public table is here today, what's your business?"

Chen Gong, who had just sat down, heard Han Zhan's question, and quickly stood up from his seat, cupped his hands and said to Han Zhan, "I report to the Marquis of Anyang, the palace is here to visit the Marquis of Anyang under the order of Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo, the prefects of Chenliu. , I invite you to send troops to attack Cao Aman in Dongjun."

As soon as Chen Gong finished speaking, the room immediately fell into silence.Han Zhan's first feeling was that he heard it wrong. He looked at Guo Jia with a puzzled face, and saw confusion in the other's eyes, so he tentatively asked: "Gongtai, I don't know if you are following Cao Mengde's advice?" The order here is to prepare about Benhou to send troops to attack who is the first starter?

"The Marquis of Anyang got it wrong." Han Zhan's reaction was obviously already under Chen Gong's guess. Come here to invite the Marquis of Anyang to send troops to attack Cao Aman, the prefect of Dongjun."

Chen Gong's words shocked Han Zhan and Guo Jia again. They looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. They didn't know when Chen Gong became Zhang Miao's subordinate.Fortunately, Han Zhan knew the history of Chen Gong's betrayal of Cao Mengde, so he quickly woke up from the shock. He asked cautiously, "Gongtai, I remember that you are Cao Mengde's subordinate. I don't know when you changed to Zhang Taishou?"

Since Chen Gong would suggest Zhang Miao to form an alliance with Han Zhan, it was definitely not a hot-headed decision, but after careful consideration, he felt that it was entirely possible for Han Zhan to join forces with Zhang Miao for his own benefit and eradicate hidden dangers around him.After he explained in detail what Cao Mengde had done that both people and gods were angry with, he said respectfully: "The palace has persuaded Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo to attack Cao Aman. If the Marquis of Anyang is willing to help us, then it will be easy to destroy Cao Aman."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, Han Zhan did not express his opinion immediately, but turned his head to look at Guo Jia who was sitting at the bottom and asked, "Feng Xiao, what do you think this Marquis should do?"

"Cao Mengde killed the Bian prefect and occupied his wife. This is indeed wrong." Hearing Han Zhan's question, Guo Jia said cautiously: "If we use this reason to attack Cao Mengde, I'm afraid it's because of no one. "

Guo Jia's words reminded Han Zhan that he and Bian Rang Su had never met, and the life and death of the other party had nothing to do with him. He sent troops in the name of avenging him. speak ill of oneself.As soon as the idea of ​​sending troops came up, it was extinguished by Guo Jia's basin of cold water.He pondered for a long while, then said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, this Marquis deeply sympathizes with the prefect's family, but if he wants to use this matter as an excuse to send troops to attack Cao Mengde, this Marquis feels that it will be difficult to convince the public. Cao Mengde even sent Mr. Man to report when someone in the middle was planning to assassinate Benhou."

"Marquis of Anyang..." Chen Gong heard that Han Zhan was unwilling to send troops, and opened his mouth to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Han Zhan raising his hand.

"Come here!" Han Zhan yelled outside, and Rob, who was waiting outside, walked in quickly, crossed his hands and asked, "What's your order, my lord?"

Han Zhan pointed to Chen Gong standing in the hall with his hand, and told Rob: "Put Mr. Gongtai in the post house, so that you can entertain him. There must be no mistakes." After speaking to Rob, Han Zhan turned to Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, you may be a little tired after traveling and traveling, why don't you go to the post house to rest first. I'm free, I will definitely go to pay a visit, and we will discuss the matter of dispatching troops when the time comes, how about it?"

Chen Gong saw that although Han Zhan did not agree to send troops, he did not reject his proposal either. Knowing that there was no point in persuading him any further, Chen Gong bid farewell to Han Zhan and left the main hall with Rob.

After watching Chen Gong's back disappear from the door, Han Zhan couldn't wait to ask Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, what do you think this Marquis should do? Should I send troops to help Zhang Taishou, or sit on the sidelines and watch?"

Chapter 505 Indecision

"Report to my lord!" Guo Jia pondered for a moment, then said: "I have to say, sending troops at this moment is the best time to destroy Cao Mengde. If this opportunity is missed, after Cao Mengde occupies the surrounding counties and becomes the climate, If you want to destroy him again, I am afraid it will not be so easy."

Hearing Guo Jia's ambiguity, Han Zhan frowned slightly, and then asked tentatively, "Feng Xiao, according to what you said, do you agree to send troops?"

"Sending troops to attack Cao Mengde is just a one-sentence matter. As long as our Jizhou army is dispatched, it will be easy to capture Dongjun." Guo Jia said with some embarrassment: "But even if Zhang Miao sent Chen Gong to invite us to send troops to attack Cao Mengde , there has always been a little injustice, and my subordinates are worried that the ministers of the DPRK and China will have criticisms about this matter."

In all honesty, Han Zhan really wanted to agree to Chen Gong's request and send troops with Zhang Miao to attack Cao Mengde.Don't think that I have already recruited Cao Mengde's civil servants Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, military generals Dian Wei, Xu Huang, etc., but with Cao Mengde's ability, it will take less than two years to form a new gang that can compete for the world. team.How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch, with such a big time bomb by your side, naturally, the sooner you get rid of it, the better.But if I agreed to Zhang Miao's request and sent troops to attack Cao Mengde just because of Chen Gong's few words, I'm afraid I would attract criticism from the court.

Guo Jia saw Han Zhan's hesitation, so he tentatively said, "My lord, if you can't make up your mind, why don't you invite Zilong and Hansheng here and ask them what they mean."

"It makes sense, it makes sense." Han Zhan got up quickly and shouted out of the hall: "Rob, Rob..."

He yelled twice, but he didn't see Rob. Han Zhan was about to get angry when Guo Jia reminded him, "My lord, you asked Rob to take Chen Gongtai to the post house. Have you forgotten?"

After being reminded by Guo Jia, Han Zhan immediately remembered that he had indeed sent Rob to send Chen Gong to the posthouse, so he quickly changed his voice and shouted, "Come here, come here!"

Following his shout, two soldiers walked in from the outside, and after bowing their hands and saluting, they asked in unison: "What is your order?"

"Go quickly to the military camp in the city and invite Zilong, Han Sheng, and Ziman to the mansion!"

"Here!" The two soldiers agreed, turned and walked out of the main hall.

"Feng Xiao," as soon as the two soldiers left the main hall, Han Zhan asked Guo Jia seriously, "I will ask you again, should we agree to Zhang Miao's request and send troops to attack Cao Mengde?"

Guo Jia didn't answer Han Zhan's question directly, but asked instead: "My lord, as long as our army sends troops, it will be easy to destroy Cao Mengde. What I want to ask is, how do you plan to deal with Cao Mengde?"

"Cao Mengde is a capable minister in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times." As soon as Guo Jia's voice fell, Han Zhan instinctively expressed the evaluation of Cao Mengde in later generations.Seeing the astonishment on Guo Jia's face, he immediately realized that he had slipped his tongue, and quickly covered up, "However, it is easy for the Marquis to destroy Cao Mengde. He must not be a traitor, so let him come Let's be a capable minister in the DPRK and China

Before Guo Jia could speak, a soldier who had just left suddenly walked into the main hall and bowed to report to Han Zhan: "My lord, the three generals Zilong, Hansheng, and Ziman have arrived!"

"What, we're here so soon?" Han Zhan wondered why Zhao Yun and the others were invited here before the soldier had even walked out of the gate of the State Shepherd's Mansion, and quickly asked, "Where are they now?"

"He's coming here." The soldier reported, "We haven't even walked out of the mansion when we saw three generals coming here. The younger one hurried over to report to the lord."

After a short time, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei walked into the main hall, and bowed to Han Zhan: "The last general will wait to see the lord!"

"The Marquis was about to send someone to look for you, but you came first!" Han Zhan waved his hands to the left and right, and said, "Sit down."

After Zhao Yun and others greeted Guo Jia again, they found a seat and sat down.After everyone was seated, Zhao Yun, who was sitting next to Guo Jia, clasped his fists at Han Zhan and said, "My lord, when I hear that you are rehearsing some Huangmei opera in the mansion recently, and you just have nothing to do, we will come to the mansion together. I don't know what you want to do with us?"
