Three Kingdoms King of the North

Before he could speak, Lizheng added: "Young master, the daughter of the Hua family was spotted by the yellow scarf thieves. When they pulled her out of the crowd, the old couple of the Hua family stepped forward to stop her. She was hacked to death with knives. What do you want to do?" The folks who died unjustly are the masters!"

For these evil deeds committed by Yuan Bing, Han Zhan had long been prepared in his heart, but he did not show any abnormalities.As for Zhao Yun, who was sitting on the horseback, after listening to these fake yellow scarf thieves killing people and stealing goods, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and his eyes were full of murderous looks. Hesitantly ordered people to kill them.

After listening to the old people's cries, Han Zhan didn't express any opinion, but turned his head and asked Zhao Yun, "Zilong, what do you think?"

Zhao Yun took a deep breath, and then replied: "My lord, I think it's better to hand over the captured yellow scarf thieves to the villagers for disposal!"

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, the old man kowtowed again, and said gratefully, "Thank you, General, thank you, General. In the next life, the old people will definitely form grass rings to repay the great kindness of you two!"

Chapter 0011 son Yuan Tan

As soon as Han Zhan and Zhao Yun returned to the camp with the cavalry, they saw Xun Chen coming out of the tent and said anxiously, "Thank God, you two are finally back. It's driving me crazy!"

Han Zhan hurriedly got off his horse, stepped forward and replied, "Uncle Lao is worried. Didn't I come back safely?"

Hearing the news, Zhang Yun rushed over from a tent not far away, and anxiously asked Zhao Yun who was standing next to Han Zhan, "Have all the yellow turban thieves in the village been wiped out? Are there too many casualties in our army?"

"Report to the Sima of the Army," Zhao Yun cupped his hands and replied, "Except for the leader who escaped from the 217 yellow scarf thieves in the village, the rest have been killed by our army. A certain soldier led a hundred cavalry to attack, and when he came back, there were still a hundred cavalry. One person and one ride are injured."

Hearing that all the yellow turban thieves in the village had been wiped out, Zhang He was overjoyed at first; but when he heard Zhao Yun say that he had never hurt a man or a horse, he became suspicious. He felt that even if the cavalry was a nightmare for the infantry, it would be twice as much as he had to be wiped out. Even if the opponent is a mob with little combat effectiveness, it is impossible to achieve zero casualties.After quickly counting the number of cavalry, he found that there were still 100 of them, and there were three more horses.

After confirming that the cavalry brought out by Zhao Yun was unscathed, Zhang Xi couldn't help but look at this hundred-man general under his command with admiration. You must know that even if he leads the team himself to attack, it is very difficult to achieve such a result.He was even thinking in his heart, if Yuan Gong took over Jizhou and could entrust him with important responsibilities, then he must promote this young hundred general.

Han Zhan greeted the ice room, brought the three captured war horses over, pointed to the packages on the horses' backs, and said to Xun Chen and Zhang He, "These are cattle gifts from the villagers to thank us for eliminating the Yellow Turban Bandits. mutton, goods, and wine."

When Zhao Yun left with his subordinates, Han Zhan returned to the tent with Xun Chen and Zhang Yun. He told them about Yuan Bing pretending to be a Yellow Turban bandit and ransacking the village.

Zhang Xi has a character of jealousy and hatred. After listening to Han Zhan's words, he snorted heavily, and then slammed his fist on the cases in front of him. His voice trembled uncontrollably because of anger, "Where are these officers and soldiers? Clearly." It’s a bandit! It’s really embarrassing for Yuan Cheqi. If Yuan Cheqi is not dealt with in time, once Yuan Cheqi takes control of Jizhou, the common people will suffer even more.”

Xun Chen was much calmer. After Zhang Yun finished complaining, he asked cautiously, "Zhan'er, how did you deal with those Yuan soldiers who were captured alive?"

"What else can I do?" Han Zhan said with a clear attitude: "I handed them over to the villagers, and they are probably all dead now." He was afraid that Xun Chen would interrupt him, so he spoke faster, " Such black sheep cannot be kept, otherwise, after they become the masters of Jizhou, more Limin people will suffer."

"Zhan'er, you are right." Xun Chen said thoughtfully: "But this matter should not be made public. To the outside world, we said that we wiped out a group of yellow scarf thieves who looted the village. Anyway, they are dead without proof, and no one can take it." We have nothing to do. Understand?"

"Understood." Han Zhan and Zhang Yun nodded and answered in unison.

Early the next morning, the convoy set off again.

Han Zhan rode on the captured horse and walked side by side with Zhao Yun.With the experience of fighting side by side last night, Zhao Yun's attitude towards Han Zhan is much closer.He looked around and saw that the other cavalrymen were some distance away from him, so he asked in a low voice: "My lord, there is something I don't understand, and I want to ask you for advice."

As soon as Han Zhan stretched out his hand, he said with a smile, "It's okay for Zilong to say it."

"As far as someone knows, our strength is not weaker than Yuan Cheqi, and it can even be said to be far superior to him." Zhao Yun asked with a puzzled face, "Why did you give up Jizhou to him?"

"Zilong, although Jizhou Wu has Pan Feng, Qu Yi, and Zhang He, and Xun Chen, Xin Ping, and Guo Tu." Han Zhan saw that Zhao Yun was puzzled by Han Fu's handling of Jizhou affairs, so he explained to him: "Pan Feng is begging Dong Zhuo. Shi was killed in battle, and Qu Yi betrayed Fujun Zili not long ago, leaving only General Zhang He alone. As for the officials, the people I mentioned just now have long been in bed with the Fujun; Yuan Ben entered Jizhou at the beginning, but he was unable to support himself alone, and he could not change the current situation."

After Zhao Yun heard this, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and then asked: "My lord, if Yuan Cheqi takes control of Jizhou, what do you plan to do?"

Han Zhan shook his head and said, "I don't know, let everything take its course." Just after saying this, he suddenly remembered that Zhao Yun had not been under Yuan Shao's hand for long before he ran to join Gongsun Zan, so he called him in advance. Inoculation, "Zilong, Yuan Benchu ​​certainly did not have the heart to be loyal to the emperor and love the people, and he was not a master; if you don't want to work for the Yuan family, you can't vote for Gongsun Zan in the north. He and Yuan Shao are the same raccoon."

Although Zhao Yun didn't agree with Han Zhan's statement in his heart, on the surface he said politely: "Thank you, son, Zilong has been taught."

At this moment, a scout horse suddenly ran over and reported to Zhao Yun: "I found a military horse ahead. Judging by the flag, it seems to be Yuan Cheqi's subordinate."

A subordinate of Yuan Cheqi?Hearing what Tan Ma said, Han Zhan and Zhao Yun were shocked, because according to the information they had, Yuan Shao's camp was at least eighty miles away.A group of Yuan Jun soldiers and horses suddenly appeared here. Could it be that they came to seek revenge for what happened last night?

And Zhang Yun, who had been accompanying Xun Chen's carriage all the time, saw the scout horse he had sent back, hurriedly drove forward, and asked loudly from a long distance, "Teacher horse, what's the military report?"

Tanma came in front of Zhang Xi, got off his horse and knelt down on one knee, repeating the news he had just reported to Zhao Yun.After Zhang Yun heard this, he also thought of something with Han Zhan, thinking that Yuan Jun sent someone to retaliate, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He was about to discuss with Xun Chen what to do, but he saw that Han Zhan and Zhao Yun had ridden side by side and left the team, galloping forward.He hurriedly told Chief Luo Shi beside him: "Hurry up and take someone to protect the young master, and don't let him have any accidents, otherwise come and see him."

"Here!" Commander Luo Shi promised loudly, greeted Ben Shi's ten cavalry, and sped up to catch up with Han Zhan and Zhao Yun ahead.

The reason why Han Zhan and Zhao Yun left the brigade and headed towards places where Yuan Jun was haunted was mainly because Han Zhan considered whether it was a blessing or a curse or that he could not escape it. Sooner or later, I still have to enter Yuan Ying, and then I will become a self-proclaimed Luo.Rather than that, it is better to go and see what is going on first, so as to formulate a countermeasure.

Zhao Yunshen was afraid that Han Zhan would be too nervous, so he tried to find something to say on the way to distract him: "My lord, you rode like a beginner yesterday, feeling like you would fall off the horse at any time; I feel like an old rider with rich experience, it seems that you have a great talent for riding horses."

Han Zhan didn't know why he rode so smoothly today. It was also the skills left by the original owner of this body, so he probably fused it with him.

Suddenly someone shouted from behind: "Master, slow down! Wait for us."

Han Zhan turned his head and looked, it turned out that Chief Luo Shi followed up with a dozen cavalrymen, and quickly slowed down his horsemanship.Chief Luo Shi came in front of the two, bowed his hands and saluted, "Someone was ordered by the Sima of the army to protect the young master."

A group of people galloped for five or six miles, and then saw a group of men and horses on the road ahead, about five or six hundred people, all cavalry.Seeing this scene, Han Zhan couldn't help but secretly groaned in his heart. There were only a dozen of them, and if he fought with each other, he would definitely suffer a big loss, and even if he wanted to escape, he would not be able to escape.

If you want to turn around and go back, your pedestrian has been seen by the other party a long time ago, and the other party's dozen or so banners are heading in your direction.Seeing that there was no way to retreat now, Han Zhan raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and stood there waiting for the other party to come over.

When the two sides were separated by more than ten steps, the opposing team's cavalry stopped, and a general came out from behind the banner, cupped his hands from a distance, and asked loudly: "Is the team from Lord Han's coming ahead?"

Seeing that the other party didn't want to use force, Han Zhan thought, did he make a mistake in his judgment?In order to find out what was going on, he urged his horse forward, and replied in the same loud voice: "This is Han Zhan, the son of Lord Han of Jizhou. I wonder which general under Yuan Cheqi's command is on the opposite side?"

"It turns out to be the son of Mr. Han Fu." The tall and handsome general on the opposite side cupped his hands at Han Zhan again, and said politely: "My surname is Yuan and my name is Tan. He is the eldest son of the Marquis of Bingxiang. By the order of my father, I am here to welcome Mr. Han and his party."

Chapter 0012

Han Zhan thought it was an ordinary general under Yuan Shao, but he didn't expect it to be his eldest son Yuan Tan, so he looked him up and down again, cupped his hands and said politely, "So it's Mr. Yuan Chang, I've admired his name for a long time."

Yuan Tan came in front of Han Zhan, glanced behind him, and asked a little puzzled: "Mr. Han, why do you only have so few people?"

"Young Master Yuan doesn't know something," Han Zhan replied with a smile, "The horse scout reported that an army horse of unknown origin was found ahead, so I brought a few people to check it out. The team is still behind."

Hearing that Han Zhan said that he was an army horse of unknown origin, Yuan Tan smiled awkwardly and explained: "My father heard that the Yellow Turban bandits are making trouble in this area, and he is worried that the road will be disturbed. The special agent will come down here and wait."

After hearing this, Han Zhan thought that Yuan Shao was really considerate. In order to get Jizhou Mu's seal as soon as possible, he actually sent his son out of the camp dozens of miles to meet him.But he still pretended to be nonchalant, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask Mr. Yuan, how far is the camp of the Marquis of Bei Township from here?"

"Fifteen miles to the west is where the camp is located." Yuan Tan replied with a smile.

Fifteen miles west? !Hearing Yuan Tan's answer, Han Zhan couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Zhao Yun next to him. It happened that the other side turned his face to look over, and both of them saw surprise in the other's eyes.Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao was so eager to get Jizhou as soon as possible, and quietly moved his camp eastward for dozens of miles.But in this way, it also shows that what the captives said last night is the truth. Since it is not only a dozen or twenty miles away from the big camp, they will not appear in that village.

While speaking, the brigade led by Zhang Xi also appeared in everyone's field of vision.Yuan Tan asked curiously: "Mr. Han, I wonder which adult from Jizhou is coming with you this time?"

Han Zhan quickly replied, "Master Xun Chen."

Yuan Tan hurriedly led people up to greet him, got off his horse a dozen steps away from Xun Chen's carriage, stood on the side of the road and respectfully said, "Bohai Yuan Tan pays homage to Mr. Xun Chen."

Xun Chen was very familiar with the members of Yuan Shao's family. Seeing Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan standing on the side of the road to greet him, he didn't dare to take it too seriously, so he quickly got out of the carriage and went forward to greet him.

After the two greeted each other on the side of the road, they chatted a few more meaningless routines, and then Yuan Tan said: "Mr. Xun Chen, my father is already waiting in the camp. Please get in the car and follow the younger generation to the barracks."

Xun Chen bowed his hands towards Yuan Tan, turned around and got into his carriage, and continued to move towards Yuan Ying.

Yuan Shao received a report from the fast horse sent by Yuan Tan, knowing that Han Fu's envoy was about to arrive at the barracks, so he quickly summoned Wu and followed him outside the barracks gate to meet him.

The convoy stopped fifty paces away from Yuan Shao, Han Zhan got off his horse, waited for Xun Chen who was behind to get off the car, and walked towards the welcoming crowd side by side.

Yuan Shao saw Xun Chen, whom he knew, coming with a young prince, he hurried forward a few steps, and asked with a raised voice, "Is the one coming in front of you the son of Han Jie?"
