Three Kingdoms King of the North

Seeing that Han Zhan was incoherent because of his excitement, Cai Yan couldn't help covering his mouth with a smile, and then said: "Tinghou, I can go back to Jizhou with you, but I need to write a book and report to my father so that he won't worry about it." .”

Seeing that Cai Yan agreed to stay in Jizhou, Han Zhan was immediately overjoyed. He couldn't help shaking the other party's hand and said excitedly, "Zhaoji, you're willing to stay. That's really great, that's great."

Seeing that Han Zhan was incoherent because of his excitement, Cai Yan couldn't help covering his mouth with a smile, and then said: "Tinghou, I can go back to Jizhou with you, but I need to write a book and report to my father so that he won't worry about it." .”

Chapter 0150

When Cai Yan heard Han Zhan mentioning his father, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "Tinghou, since my family married into the Wei family, I haven't seen my father for three years. I really want to go to Chang'an immediately to reunite with my father."

Han Zhan thought to himself that Cai Yong only had a few months left to live, if you rush over now, you might be able to see him for the last time.But at the same time, you are also putting yourself in danger. If Wang Yun gets involved when he kills Cai Yong, I am afraid that your life will not be saved.In order to prevent Cai Ji from being in danger, he decided to stabilize the other party first: "Zhao Ji, don't be impatient, you go back to Jizhou with me to live for a while, and when the spring of the next year comes, when I come to Beijing to face the saint, I will take you to Chang'an , then you will be able to see your father."

Hearing that it would take a few months, Cai Yan couldn't help but look sad: "In this case, it will take a few months before I can see my father."

In order to make Cai Yan happy, Han Zhan cleverly recited a poem by Li Bai to her: "The beauty rolls up the beaded curtain, sits deeply and frowns. But seeing the wet tears, I don't know who is on my mind." He deliberately put the last sentence " The word "hate" was replaced with the word "nian".

As expected, Cai Yan's attention was attracted by Han Zhan. She glanced at Han Zhan with resentful eyes, and said, "Tinghou lied to the servants, saying that you can't recite poems and compose poems. Yesterday's seven-character poems and just now's five-character poems are both It’s not something ordinary people can do. It seems that Marquis Ting has always been hiding his secrets.”

Han Zhan got up, walked to Cai Yan's side and sat down, put his hands on her fragrant shoulders, and said with a playful smile: "Actually, Ben Hou has always been an ignorant person, but seeing a beautiful and talented woman like Zhao Ji, I immediately Thinking like a spring, such poems can't help blurting out." After speaking, he moved closer to the other's cheek, wanting to kiss Xiangze.

Just at this time, Rob's voice sounded outside: "Qi Tinghou, Mr. Guo invites you to the conference hall, we have important matters to discuss."

Han Zhan let go of Cai Yan who was in his arms helplessly, and said to the outside: "Understood, I'll go now."

Cai Yan rolled his eyes at him coquettishly, pushed him gently with his hand, and said softly: "Tinghou, you have business to do, so go do it first. The slave family has to hurry back too."

Han Zhan thought that Cai Yan lived in his own backyard, and the cooked duck would definitely not fly away, so he smiled and nodded: "Zhao Ji, then you should go back to your room first, and wait until Benhou finishes his business, then go back to your room." to visit you."

When Guo Jia and others saw Han Zhan entering the conference hall, they hurried forward to salute.

Han Zhan waved his hand at them, motioning for everyone to be excused, and then asked Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, is it for the matter of the high school lieutenant?"

"That's right," Guo Jia nodded and said, "Although Gao Gaowei's assassination is not life-threatening, we should continue to search for the assassin hiding in the city, lest other officials be assassinated. Also, we were originally scheduled to be in the squadron." Afterwards, Lieutenant Gao Gao will continue to serve as Guantao Guard General, but judging from his current situation, he may not be qualified for this position, so please make plans early and arrange another manpower."

Han Zhan's eyes swept over the generals standing aside one by one, thinking about who to keep as the guard of Guantao.Zhao Yun, it is definitely not possible, so in the next battle of the Eastern Expedition to Qingzhou, he still needs to lead the troops; Huang Zhong, it is not possible, he and Zhao Yun are the best partners, if the two of them are in charge of the Eastern Expedition, they will definitely be able to Get twice the result with half the effort.Dian Wei, being a personal bodyguard is not bad, but if he is left alone, his ability will appear to be somewhat insufficient; It would be too risky for any one of them to serve as Guantao guard.

After some weighing, Han Zhan decided to take up the post of Guantao guard when Xia Houlan came.Originally according to his plan, Xia Houlan, Chu Ge and others should be with him at all times. These two are his future brother-in-laws, so they cannot be put in a dangerous place.But there is really no one available at the moment, so we can only rush the ducks to the shelves and let Xia Houlan temporarily act as the guard general of Guantao.

Han Zhan yelled at the queue of generals, "Where is Xia Houlan?"

"The last general is here!" Xia Houlan strode out from the queue, clasped her fists and saluted: "What orders do you have, my lord?"

"The Marquis intends to let you temporarily act as Guan Tao's guard," Han Zhan said to Xia Houlan: "After the injury of Gao Gao Lieutenant improves, I will hand over Yinshou to him."

"The general understands!" Xia Houlan replied loudly.

Han Zhan considered that even if Gao Lan recovered from his injury and returned to work, he would still be alone and needed to find him a deputy.After much deliberation, he went on to say: "I will leave the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang as lieutenants to assist the high school captain in guarding the Guantao."

After arranging the Guantao guard, Han Zhan looked at the military officials below again: "Is there anything else?"

Zhao Yun came out and reported respectfully: "My lord, it's cold today, and the bedding in the barracks is too thin. Many soldiers caught wind and cold at night."

"General Zilong," hearing what Zhao Yun said, Guo Jia hurriedly asked with concern, "Have you asked the doctor to heal the soldiers?"

"The doctor has been asked to heal them." Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Because the heavy snow came too early, we haven't had time to prepare the winter bedding for the soldiers. I'm afraid there will be many soldiers tonight. Frostbite."

Han Zhan knew that in this era of lack of medical care and medicine, even a small cold could kill someone, so he hurriedly asked, "Do you have any good solutions?"

Regarding the issue of heating, Guo Jia was also helpless. He said helplessly: "Jia thinks that we can only put a few more braziers in each barracks, hoping that the soldiers will not feel too cold when they sleep."

No one responded to the suggestion of setting up braziers. If there were braziers in every room in such a large military camp, how many braziers would be needed?How much firewood will be burned overnight?Therefore, no one responded to Guo Jia's proposal at all.

But the speaker didn't care, but the listener did. Guo Jia's brazier reminded Han Zhan of the "fired kang".Thinking of this, he said to the crowd: "Do you know the kang?"

"Fire kang?!" Hearing the term Han Zhan said, everyone looked at each other in dismay, and finally they all said in unison: "I don't know, please enlighten me, my lord."

Although Han Zhan has never seen how to cook a heated kang, he still knows a thing or two about the composition of a heated kang.He quickly drew a sketch on the paper with a brush, and explained to everyone: "The heated kang is a bit like the bed we usually sleep on. It is about eight feet to one foot wide, and the length can depend on the length of the room. There is a flue in the wall of the kang room, and it is covered with relatively flat stone or thick wood boards, and the top is smoothed with mud, and after the mud is dry, it can be used with a kang mat."

When Xun You heard this, he couldn't help interjecting and asked, "My lord, will this prevent the soldiers from catching the cold when they are sleeping?"

"It's not enough to just have a pit, there must be a fire, otherwise how can it be called a kang." Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Han Zhan continued: "The kang has a stove mouth and a smoke mouth. For those who come to burn firewood, when the smoke and heat produced by the firewood pass through the wall between the kangs, they will heat the stone slabs or thick wood boards above to make the kang generate heat. Finally, the smoke from the chimney kang is sent out of the house through the chimney.

Guo Jia, Xun You and others reacted quickly. Hearing what Han Zhan said, they suddenly realized: "The heated kang that my lord came up with is really ingenious."

Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward to ask for orders: "My lord, the general is willing to return to the barracks immediately and gather manpower to build the kang developed by the lord."

Although Han Zhan has theoretical knowledge, he has never built a heated kang with his own hands, so seeing Zhao Yun volunteering, he nodded and said, "General Zilong, you immediately lead a thousand soldiers to build a heated kang in the barracks. Before dark, at least There should be more than a hundred seats."

Although Zhao Yun is an ancient person, his IQ is no worse than that of modern people.He took the sketch of the heated kang provided by Han Zhan, and directed the soldiers to build the heated kang in the vacated barracks.

The soldiers surrounded the barracks, staring curiously at Pao Ze who was busy in the barracks, trying to figure out what they were doing.A soldier of the Qiangnu Battalion curiously asked Chu Ge who was also watching: "Mr. Chu, what are they doing?"

Chu Ge pinched his chin with his fingers, and said thoughtfully: "I asked General Zhao, and he said that this is a kind of heated kang developed by Tinghou. Brothers sleep on it at night, no matter how thin the bedding is, it will not be too heavy. Feeling cold."

In fact, there is no technology at all in the heating kang. With Han Zhan's structural diagram, the soldiers involved in the construction worked very quickly. By noon, hundreds of kangs that could accommodate 20 people had been installed.

It's freezing cold now, and I don't know how long it will take to wait until the mud smeared on the wooden boards is completely dry.In order to test the effect of the kang as soon as possible, Zhao Yun asked people to bring firewood and light a fire at the stove, trying to dry the mud as soon as possible.

Soldiers watching the excitement poured into their barracks one after another, wanting to see if this kind of kang is really warm.As the mud on the wooden planks dried up little by little, the temperature in the room began to rise slowly. The soldiers immediately cheered when they noticed this change.Then the soldier who just chatted with Chu Ge said: "My God, it is indeed a kang. The whole room is warm. Even if I don't cover the bedding at night, I don't think I will feel cold anymore."

Zhao Yun waited patiently for the mud on the wooden boards of the heated kang to dry, and then asked someone to spread a straw mat, and lay down on it with his clothes on for a while, feeling the warmth of the heated kang, before turning over and getting down into the pit.Called a military marquis and said: "While it is still early, you continue to lead people to make kangs in the barracks, and you must build two hundred kangs before dark!"

Seeing that the effect of the kang was really good, the Marquis quickly replied loudly: "Your subordinate obeys!"

After Zhao Yun finished his work, he immediately rode back to the prefect's mansion.Han Zhan was still discussing matters with Guo Jia, Huang Zhong and other Wu in the conference hall at the moment. When he saw Zhao Yun enter the door, he quickly asked, "Is the kang ready?"

"My lord," Zhao Yun replied with a smile on his face, "Now there are hundreds of heated kangs in the camp, and I have personally experienced them. As long as the firewood is burned in the stove, let alone sleeping on it, even the whole It's warm in the house."

After Guo Jia waited for Zhao Yun to finish speaking, he asked tentatively, "General Zilong, compared with the brazier, which one is better?"

Zhao Yun grinned and said to Guo Jia: "Mr. Guo, there is not much comparison between the two. Putting a few braziers in the room is nothing more than warming the places where the braziers are placed; and this kang makes the whole room as warm as it is." spring."

"Is it really so magical?" After hearing this, Guo Jia felt that it was beyond his imagination, and he murmured, "Jia wants to experience it for herself."

"Mr. Guo," Zhao Yun said with a smile on his face, "when Yun left the barracks, he brought back fifty nimble soldiers. They all passed the kang today. Just before I entered the meeting hall, I sent someone to take them to the backyard , I went to set up the kang for my lord. If Mr. Guo is interested, we can experience it in an hour."

"It's so good, it's so good!" Guo Jia nodded after hearing this: "Jia will definitely go and experience it for herself later."

An hour passed quickly, and Luo Bu came to report to Han Zhan: "My lord, the soldiers brought by General Zhao have already set up the kang, my lord, please go and have a look."

When Han Zhan heard that the heated kang was ready, he stood up and said to everyone in the conference hall: "Everyone, since everyone wants to know how the heated kang works, you might as well follow me to the backyard to find out."

A group of people rushed to the backyard and followed Han Zhan into his spacious bedroom.As soon as everyone entered, Dian Wei said in surprise: "My God, this room is really warm. I don't know how many braziers are put in it."

Han Zhan turned his head to look at Dian Wei, and said with a smile, "Lieutenant Dian, there is only one fire pit, not a single brazier." Then, he pointed to the new kang and said, "If it doesn't work, you can see it for yourself. .”

Everyone looked in the direction of Han Zhan's finger, and saw a waist-high kang by the wall, covered with straw mats and bedding, and indeed there was no brazier around.Dian Wei walked over dubiously, stretched out his hand to touch the surface of the kang, and then exclaimed: "My God, this kang is really warm, much better than the brazier."

After Han Zhan and the others studied the heated kang one by one, they asked them, "What do you think of this heated kang?"
