Three Kingdoms King of the North

Guo Jia patiently listened to Han Zhan's explanation, and the smile on his face became wider: "In this way, the friendship between Yan Liang and you is indeed not shallow, so our strategy will be more confident of success."

Han Zhan remembered that in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there were two successful divorce schemes.Once, Cao Cao separated Ma Chao and Han Sui, turning them against each other; secondly, Zhuge Liang separated Wei Lord and Sima Yi.

He thought to himself, if this divorce plan is successful, when Luo Guanzhong writes Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the future, three successful divorce plans will appear in the book.

Thinking of this, he smiled and asked Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, what do I need to do?"

"Young master, please write a letter to Yan Liang. You don't need to write anything in the letter, just write some greetings."

When Han Zhan heard this, he couldn't help laughing, thinking, isn't this the plot of Cao Cao's separation between Ma Chao and Han Sui?So he didn't wait for Guo Jia to finish, and continued: "Feng Xiao, did you blur the words in the middle, smear and change the key points yourself, and then send someone to confer Yan Liang, and deliberately let Yuan Shao know about it.

Yuan Shao was narrow-minded and suspicious. When he saw the important points in the letter, he would erase them all, and he would guess that Yan Liang was afraid that he would know some secrets, so he deliberately erased them.In this way, Yuan Shao is bound to become suspicious of Yan Liang. "

After listening to Han Zhan's words, Guo Jia held the feather fan in a daze for a while, then gave a thumbs up, and said approvingly, "Young master is really smart, and the thoughts in his heart coincide with Jia's. That's right, That's what Jia thought about. Without further ado, please write a letter immediately, and Jia will send someone to Jizhou as soon as possible."

For Han Zhan, such a letter could not be better, but within a short time, a letter that is enough to make Yuan Shao suspicious of Yan Liang was finished.Guo Jia took it over and looked at it, then nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad, if Yuan Shao sees this letter from Young Master, he will definitely have doubts about Yan Liang."

When Xun You took the letter and was about to find a reliable person to deliver it, Han Zhan stopped him.Han Zhan told him: "Cousin Gongda, tell the messenger that when you arrive in Jizhou, you must pretend to be sneaky and panicked, let the defenders in the city catch him, and then let him explain to the captors, They are here to deliver a letter to Yan Liang. I believe it will not be long before Yuan Shao will know that someone has sent a letter to Yan Liang."

"Hou Ye, don't worry." Xun You replied with a smile, "I will definitely pass on your words to the sender, and try to let Yuan Shao know about our letter delivery earlier."

In the afternoon of the next day, news suddenly spread in Jizhou City that Han Zhan, who was stationed in Guangping City, had sent a letter to Yuan Cheqi's general Yan Liang.

After Feng Ji heard the news, he immediately ran to the State Shepherd's Mansion to report to Yuan Shao.Although Yuan Shao didn't believe it verbally, he still sent people outside to inquire, and it turned out to be the same as Feng Ji's report.

Feng Ji took the opportunity to add embellishment and said: "My lord, I am not wrong, the child of the Han family really sent a letter to General Yan Liang. You should call General Yan Liang over quickly and look at the letter of the child of the Han family. What was written."

After Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately called a guard and told him: "Call Yan Liang to me immediately!"

Not long after, Yan Liang appeared in front of Yuan Shao.He stepped forward to salute and asked: "My lord, I don't know if you are in a hurry to recruit Yan Liang, what's the matter?"

"I heard that the child of the Han family sent someone to send you a letter." Yuan Shao looked at his most trusted Yan Liang, and asked coldly, "Is there such a thing?"

"But there is this matter." Yan Liang was straightforward, and when he heard Yuan Shao's question, he even took out the letter from his bosom and handed it over: "Here is the letter, my lord, please read it."

Yuan Shao took the letter and saw that there were a lot of smears on it, he couldn't help frowning and asked Yan Liang: "Yan Liang, why have so many places on the letter been smeared?"

Yan Liang replied with an innocent face: "Returning to the Lord, the general will not know. When the messenger delivered the letter to the general, there were so many smears on it. I was still thinking, maybe the child of the Han family sent the draft by mistake. I'm here."

Chapter 0106

"As far as I know, the youngest of the Han family is a cautious person." After hearing Yan Liang's explanation, Feng Ji said coldly: "How could he send a draft to you by mistake? It is clear that you and him have colluded in private , I am afraid of being noticed by the lord, so I will smear the important parts of the letter."

Suspicious Yuan Shao heard what Feng Ji said, he threw the letter in his hand at Yan Liang's feet, and shouted angrily: "Yan Liang, what else do you have to say?"

Yan Liang, who was full of grievances, angered Yuan Shao, and quickly knelt down on one knee, explaining to Yuan Shao: "My lord, please calm down. Yan has always been loyal to my lord, how could he do such a thing of colluding with outsiders?"

At this moment, a loud voice came from the entrance of the lobby: "My lord, you have wrongly blamed General Yan Liang."

Everyone followed the prestige and saw Ju Shou, the supervisor, striding in from the outside.He came to Yuan Shao's desk and bowed his hands: "I have seen the Lord!"

Yuan Shao snorted heavily, and asked back: "Gongyu, you say that Yuan has wronged Yan Liang, do you have any evidence?"

Jushou bent down to pick up the letter on the ground, quickly browsed through the contents, put the letter on Yuan Shao's desk, and said confidently: "My lord, if I guessed correctly, this is the letter from the Han family's son. The plan of alienation conceived by the counselors. They deliberately smeared out important parts of the letter, and made a big show of it when delivering the letter, just to attract the attention of the lord. When the lord sees so many smears on the letter, he will definitely be angry with General Yan Liang If he is suspicious, he will be dismissed from his official position and deprived of his military power in a fit of anger, so that the children of the Han family can take advantage of it."

Yuan Shao was originally an uninitiated person, after listening to Ju Shou's generous speech, he thought about it carefully, and felt that Yan Liang was indeed loyal to him, so he blamed Feng Ji: "Yuan Tu, I misunderstood your words, and almost It's a good man's fault." After speaking, he got up and walked around the table, stepped forward to help Yan Liang up, and comforted him with kind words.

After Yuan Shao returned to his seat, he looked at Jushou and asked, "Gongyu, now there are Gongsun Zan in the east, Han's children in the south, and Zhang Yan's [-] troops in the west, how should we retreat from the enemy? "

"Responding to my lord," Ju Shou replied confidently, "there are three thousand troops of Qu Yi on Jieqiao. Although the number is far smaller than that of Gongsun Zan, there is no problem in blocking them. Zhang Yan's army in the west, It's just a mob, and the [-] army of the eldest son and the ugly general is enough to break it."

"What about the children of the Han family in the south?" Yuan Shao felt uncomfortable when he thought of his second son and several generals being captured by Han Zhan. They are still imprisoned in the prison of Guangping City, how can they be rescued?"

"It's actually very simple to save the Second Young Master and General Chunyu." What Yuan Shao was worried about, Ju Shou had obviously thought about it a long time ago: "We can exchange them with Geng Wu and Min Chun who are locked in the prison."

"What, use Gengwu Minchun to exchange?" Yuan Shao shook his head like a rattle for Jushou's suggestion, "I can't wait to tear these two rebels into pieces, how can I exchange them with the Han family children? Woolen cloth?"

"My lord," Feng Ji, who was always dissatisfied with Ju Shou and opposed him everywhere, said unexpectedly, "I agree with Ju Jianjun's suggestion to exchange Geng Wu and Min Chun for Second Young Master and General Chunyu."

Yuan Shao looked at Feng Ji, frowned and said, "Yuan Tu, I really didn't expect you to have such thoughts."

Feng Ji hurriedly went to the table, and whispered to Yuan Shao: "My lord, the reason why this subordinate agrees to the exchange is because" At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice, and continued to narrate in a voice that only he and Yuan Shao could hear. go down.Ju Shou, who was a few steps away, pricked up his ears, trying to hear what they were saying, but he couldn't hear anything.

After listening to Feng Ji's suggestion, Yuan Shao burst into laughter suddenly, and said repeatedly: "Miao, Miao, it really is a wonderful plan! Yuan Tu, then I will leave this matter to you."

Feng Ji agreed, turned around and walked out.As soon as Fengji left, Yuan Shao continued to ask Fengji: "Gongyu, do you have any way to deal with the Han family's children?"

Jushou pondered for a moment, then replied: "Your Majesty, you can send someone to Guantao to recruit Zhang He, the school captain, to attack Guangping City, so that the Han family can't send troops to attack Jizhou in a short time. Wait until the eldest son defeats the Heishan army and Quyi The general repelled Gongsun Zan, and then we went south to recapture Guangping City at the combined forces."

After patiently listening to Jushou's strategy, Yuan Shao asked a little worriedly: "Zhang Yun used to be the former member of the Han family. If you ask him to attack Guangping City, he won't be cold-hearted, right?"

"Please rest assured, my lord," Ju Shou assured Yuan Shao, "Zhang Yun is a dutiful son. His family members are all in Jizhou City. He dare not betray the lord easily."

Knowing that Zhang He's family members were all in the city of Jizhou, Yuan Shao immediately felt at ease. He knew in his heart that no matter how courageous Zhang He was, he would not dare to betray him casually.So he ordered Jushou: "Since this is the case, then Gongyu should quickly write a letter to Zhang Jun, so that he can quickly lead the army to attack Guangping City."

When it was dark, a messenger sent by Yuan Shao came to Guangping City and handed a letter to Han Zhan.

Han Zhan opened the letter and read it. In the letter, he said that he was willing to exchange Geng Wu and Min Chun for the captured Yuan Xi, Chun Yuqiong and others.After reading the letter, Han Zhan said to the messenger: "Messenger, you go back overnight and tell Yuan Shao that the Marquis agrees to the exchange."

After the messenger left, Han Zhan handed the letter to Guo Jia, Xun You and others for circulation, and said with emotion: "This Marquis is worrying about how to rescue the two adults, Geng Wu and Min Chun. I didn't expect Yuan Thief to send someone to send a letter to call you." , intending to exchange the two of them for Yuan Xi, Chunyu Qiong and others who were captured by our army."

After Guo Jia read the letter, he frowned and said, "Young Lord, Jia thinks this matter is a bit strange, why didn't Yuan Shao change people sooner or later, but after we used the alienation plan, he couldn't wait to propose a replacement?" ?”

Han Zhan didn't have much hope for Yuan Shao's plan to alienate Yuan Shao, because counselors like Ju Shou and Tian Feng could easily see through such a plan.However, he agrees with what Guo Jia said in his heart. After Yuan Shao saw through his estrangement scheme, he actually offered to exchange Geng Wu and Min Chun. No matter how you look at it, this is a big conspiracy.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think there would be any flaws in it, because the exchange place chosen by Yuan Shao was only ten miles away from Guangping City, and the cavalry in the city could arrive there in at most one stick of incense. Yuan Shao didn't engage in any conspiracy at all. possible.

Puzzled, he shook his head vigorously, and then ordered: "Dian Wei, Xia Houlan, lead fifty cavalry tomorrow, and come with me to exchange. Zilong stays in the city, so that the cavalry will not dismount or ride." Unsaddle and strike as soon as you see the signal from us."

As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, and Dian Wei stepped out, and at the same time they clasped their hands and replied, "I will obey orders!"

At noon the next day, Han Zhan took Dian Wei, Xia Houlan and fifty cavalrymen to escort Yuan Xi, Chun Yuqiong, Lu Weihuang and others to the exchange place.After waiting for a short time, I saw a group of men and horses coming from the opposite side, carrying a big banner with the word "Yuan".

After the two sides stopped at a distance of [-] steps, a cavalry on the opposite side rushed to stop about [-] steps away from Han Zhan, and shouted loudly: "Master Han, my General Yan Liang wants to send someone to verify Real body, I wonder if it is possible?"

Before the exchange, it is a basic rule to find out whether the person brought by the other party is the person you want to exchange.So Han Zhan nodded in agreement after listening to the cavalry's shout.

Not long after the cavalry returned to the queue, Han Zhan saw a general with a helmet on his back riding his horse empty-handed.When the other party approached, he realized that it was really Yan Liang.He hurriedly cupped his hands towards the other party, and said politely: "General Yan Liang, it's been a long time! I wonder how you've been doing recently?"

Yan Liang snorted, and said coldly: "Master Yan wrote a letter yesterday, which almost killed Yan. How can Yan get better?!" He paused for a moment, and said to Han Zhan, "Yan stayed in the This place is a hostage, please ask the young master to go over and see if there is someone you want to replace on the opposite side?"

Han Zhan checked carefully just now, and among the group of people he brought, none of them knew Geng Wu and Min Chun, so he went to check the matter, even if Yan Liang didn't tell him personally, he would go there in person.He rode his horse across the open field and stopped a dozen steps away from the other party, carefully inspecting the two unkempt prisoners in prison uniforms on horseback in the horse team.After seeing clearly that it was indeed Geng Wu and Min Chun, he hurriedly cupped his hands towards each other: "The two adults have suffered, please wait again, Zhan will exchange with Yan Liang immediately."

After Han Zhan and Yan Liang returned to their respective formations, they saw the opposite flag waving a few times, which meant that the exchange ceremony had officially begun.The personnel to be exchanged all rode horses, came out of the queue, and then quickly rushed to the opposite camp.

Seeing the horses on which Geng, Wu, and Minchun were riding rushed in front of him, Han Zhan finally let go of his hanging heart. He was deeply afraid that Yan Liang would do some tricks during the exchange process, such as shooting a hidden arrow to kill Geng and Min. Category.But seeing that the two of them had arrived at his side safely at this moment, Han Zhan felt that he judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and blamed Yan Liang.

After the exchange ceremony, Yan Liangnabiao's cavalry immediately turned their horses and headed quickly along the official road towards Jizhou.
