The climate in Yecheng is not bad, even if the sun is in the sky, it is a little cool.

Han Zhang walked alone through the alleys of Yecheng.

He looked a little nervous and a little anxious.

But there was an ironic contrast between his nervousness and the flask in his hand.

As the only son of Jizhou Mu, Han Zhang's status in Jizhou should be quite high, but in fact this is not the case.

Han Zhang's reputation in Jizhou is not obvious, because he always likes to hide in his own small circle, only a few friends who work with him know his identity, and some people don't even know that Jizhou Mu Han Fu has a son.

Actually, if you talk about it.

Han Zhang is a hypocritical young master.

If you follow the normal script, maybe Han Zhang will have a conflict with his father, find his own direction in his own life and the arranged life, and then finally after some twists and turns, he will come back to inherit his father's career and achieve a hegemonic position.

It's a pity that this is just a script, not a reality.

In this era when war may break out at any time, there is not so much time for the eldest young master to be entangled for too long on the road of drinking and writing poems and mourning love.

The disagreement between Han Zhang and his father Han Fu is actually because the young Han Zhang fell in love with a girl.

Han Fu felt that this girl's family background was not suitable for his son's wife, so he only allowed Han Zhang to take a concubine.

In fact, Han Fu is already enlightened, but Han Zhang doesn't think that young boys will always be easy to indulge in love and can't extricate themselves, they can't tell the gap between ideals and reality.

In the end, I don't know how to make trouble, anyway, Han Zhang and Han Fu broke up, and the girl is gone.

It is also in recent years that Han Zhang has been older, and he has reconnected with Han Fu, Han Fu hopes that Han Zhang can take over, but he finds that his son no longer has that kind of heart.

If not, there will be no one, and it would be okay to spend more time on him to re-cultivate.

However, Yuan Shao would not give them time.

Whether it is bright or dark, Yuan Shao's forces have begun to infiltrate Jizhou and infiltrate the entire Yecheng.

Although Yuan Shao was still recuperating in Jizhou as a guest at this time, Yuan Shao's thoughts could be seen by the people of Jizhou, right?

Han Zhang only confirmed his guess after analyzing and discussing it with his friends, and this guess also made him panic.

He was going to rush to remind Han Fu to beware of Yuan Shao.

Han Da Shao is still Han Da Shao after all, although he just made an alliance with the princes, and after he came back, he ran to his own small circle to close himself, but the guards of the state capital still knew him, and he easily entered the state capital.

However, he did not find Han Fu, but met Geng Wu first.

Geng Wu is the chief of Jizhou Mansion, and he is considered to be the most valued among his father's staff, but it seems that Geng Wu's face is not very good-looking, and when he saw Han Zhang, he just sighed and patted Han Zhang's shoulder.

Han Zhang didn't know what Geng Wu meant, but he always had some ominous premonitions in his heart.

He was stopped in front of the government hall and watched from afar as his father and two men were talking there.

It's not that the guards don't know him, but Han Fu told him not to let Han Zhang enter the hall.

"The eldest prince, the lord has ordered, you can't go in now."

The commander of the guards personally raised a knife to stop Han Zhang at the door, Han Zhang did not have the courage to break in, he has always been a somewhat cowardly person.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to escape when he had a conflict with his father.

Han Zhang clenched his fists tightly and stood outside the door, looking at his father's figure in the government hall from afar, he didn't look at him, as if he didn't know what was going on here.

"It's Ling Gongzi outside the door, why don't you let him in?"

Gao Gan looked at Han Zhang, who was stopped at the door, and asked Han Fu with some curiosity.

But Han Fu just smiled dullly and shook his head.

"He's still mentally immature, don't let him know these things."

"It seems that Han Jizhou also has his own ideas."

Xun Chen on the side observed Han Fu's expression and demeanor, as if he had mentioned it casually.

Han Fu didn't answer, but lowered his head slightly, as if he was making a decision.

"Let's go back to what we just talked about, Han Jizhou."

Gao Gan saw that Han Fu was not interested in discussing his son, so he did not deviate from the topic.

This time, he and Xun Chen came to persuade Han Fu to give way according to Yuan Shao's instructions.

Gongsun Zhan went south, Zhang Yan invaded, and all kinds of internal and external troubles were crowded into one place, just to put pressure on Han Fu.

Han Fu did feel the pressure, and he also knew the intention of Xun Chen and Gao Gan, what he had been guarding against for a long time still happened.

You must know that since the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Yuan Shao followed Han Fu back to Jizhou, but Yuan Shao did not go to find a new foothold to leave, but chose to work with Han Fu and them, wanting to support Liu Yu as the new emperor.

But because Yuan Shu and Cao Cao did not agree, and Liu Yu himself also expressed a clear refusal, it was not done.

But now that I heard that the abolished emperor Liu Wei has arrived in Jizhou, it has reached Yuan Shao's hands, and it is estimated that Yuan Shao will take this opportunity to set up another abolition of the emperor and let himself abdicate from Jizhou, right?

As for Gao Gan and Xun Chen, although they did not come in the name of Yuan Shao, Han Fu was not a fool, how could he not see that the two who came were Yuan Shao's people.

"Han Jizhou, this time Gongsun Chan led his troops south, and the momentum was mighty, compared to when the princes were fighting Dong, you have also seen how fierce Gongsun Zhan's team is, are you confident that you can block his attack?"

Gao Gan is a hub, and the one who is really communicating with Han Fu is Xun Chen.

Xun Chen is Xun Yu's elder brother, and he also came out of Yingchuan Academy, but Xun Chen and Chen Chen are not very familiar with each other, and Xun Chen graduated from the academy relatively early, so they don't have much intersection.

Xun Chen is eloquent and good at planning, and his status under Yuan Shao's account is actually somewhat similar to Xun You, except that he is more wise and wise.

Although he felt that Yuan Shao had the talent of the hero, he also discovered some weaknesses in Yuan Shao's character, so he would take a look at it for the time being to see the after-effects.

Xun Chen slowly interacted with Han Fu amicably.

Han Jizhou thinks.

Xun Chen spoke, and from the moment he opened his mouth, his identity was revealed, he was Yuan Shao's lobbyist.

"Think about it yourself a little bit, how does it compare with Yuan Benchu in terms of generosity and benevolence, accommodating talents, and letting people in the world sincerely belong to these talents?"

Han Fu seemed to have known that Xun Chen would ask these questions, so he didn't hesitate much, and replied indifferently.

"I'm not as good as him."

Xun Chen nodded and continued to ask.

"Then in terms of being able to stand up in times of crisis, use ingenuity to win, and be wise and brave beyond ordinary people, who do you think is better than Yuan Benchu?"

"I'm not as good as him."

Xun Chen nodded again, this is a process, allowing Han Fu to convince his heart to hand over the military power in peace.

"Then in the aspect of the world's protégés, the family has given favors to the people of the world from generation to generation, and can be admired by all families, how do you think you compare to Yuan Shao?"

"I'm not as good as him."

"Now Yuan Benchu is stationed in the Bohai Sea, although it is a county, but its troops are sharp, its power is unstoppable, the general is not as good as Yuan Benchu in these three aspects, but he has always been in a high position, then Yuan Benchu will definitely not be angry."

What Xun Chen said was to put himself in Han Fu's situation.

However, Han Fu is not a fool, he naturally can't completely listen to Xun Chen, but what Xun Chen said, because it was from Han Fu himself, some of his words are not unreasonable.

This mixture of truth and exaggeration is what can bring deeper fear to a person.

Han Fu is cowardly by nature, although he is quite intelligent, but he does not have a strong opinion.

Xun Chen saw that Han Fu was hesitating, so he struck while the iron was hot.

"If Gongsun Chan goes south and Yuan Benchu attacks again, then does Han Jizhou think you can hold Jizhou?"

"I can't."

"What about your son's talent and temperament?"

Xun Chen glanced at Han Zhang, who was pacing anxiously outside the door, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes.

The cowardice of the Han family's father and son is really passed down from generation to generation, and cowardice in this era will only bring disaster.

Because this is not an era of diplomacy with the weak, this is an era in which the strong are respected and the winner takes all.

This is probably the case in every war year, and if they do not recognize this essence, then the last way they will go should be ......

In fact, Xun Chen's last question really asked Han Fu's heart.

He only has one son, Han Zhang, but Han Zhang obviously does not show the talent to be able to stand alone and control the overall situation, nor does he have the kind of heart that can become a superior.

If he insisted on leaving Jizhou to Han Zhang, maybe Han Zhang's fate would be even worse.

was killed by his subordinates as a gift, and was attacked and killed on the spot by a foreign enemy, or ......

The kind of character of his own son, Han Fu can come up with countless ways to die, because he knows him, he can't control these families and rebellious generals in Jizhou, and even in fact, he can't control it.

What's more, now that Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao are eyeing each other, Zhang Yan has always wanted to make trouble.

He is still worried about whether Han Zhang can control the situation of peace and stability, not to mention this situation of internal and external troubles?

He glanced up at his son outside the door, and when he saw that he didn't even have the courage to step on the steps of the government hall, he understood what he should do.

In fact, at this time, there is no point in fighting for yourself, and what you also need may be a guarantee, a guarantee that allows you and your family to survive in this immeasurable era.

"Then the gentleman said, what should I do?"

Han Fu looked at Xun Chen in front of him, Xun Chen's analysis was not unreasonable, then he hoped that Xun Chen could give him a solution, and he would regard it as a path that Yuan Shao could choose for him.

"It depends on what Han Jizhou wants."

Xun Chen smiled, it seems that Han Fu has already thought about it, his role as a lobbyist this time is half of the success, and the next thing is to talk to Han Fu about the conditions.

"All I want is for me and my family to be safe."

Han Fu did not hesitate and put forward his own request.

As long as he and his family can be safe, he is willing to let Jizhou out.

He didn't want to wait until the blade was on his neck to think about it, and Xun Chen gave him a better reason.

"Han Jizhou think about it, now that you and Yuan Benchu are allies, and you are old friends, in the current situation, as long as you give Jizhou to the Yuan family, then Gongsun Chan will definitely not dare to act rashly."

"And because of your abdication and Xian's move, Yuan Benchu will definitely be very grateful, and when the time comes, everyone in the world will also know your reputation and righteous deeds, even if it is to prevent people from saying that he Yuan Benchu is ungrateful, he will not do anything to you, plus the original relationship between you, then Han Jizhou's status will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai, and there will be no worries."

Xun Chen's statement made Han Fu's originally restless heart a little calmer.

His statement is not unreasonable, and it is.

"What does Han Jizhou think?"

Xun Chen asked Han Fu's opinion again, and Han Fu closed his eyes and sighed.

"I'm not as good as him."

"I see."

Han Fu didn't directly say that he would give up, but his I am not as good as him, and he has already expressed his attitude that he is willing to give up Jizhou in exchange for a stable life.

Gao Gan nodded at Xun Chen with satisfaction, sure enough, the strength of the Xun family's children is extraordinary, and they have succeeded immediately, and their own wave can be regarded as rubbing his credit.

Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew, and he can come with Xun Chen, in fact, because he is a relative, otherwise, with his performance, the bolt dog and Xun Chen can complete the task.

After getting the answer they wanted, Xun Chen and Gao Gan said goodbye to Han Fu.

Although reluctantly, Han Fu still sent them out of the government affairs hall.

It was a long time before he looked at his son outside the door and spoke.

"Zimei, come in."

Han Zhang dared to come in, Han Fu shook his head helplessly, maybe his son is like this, his decision is actually right.

"Father."

Han Zhang hesitated for a moment, followed his father into the government affairs hall, and then opened his mouth to explain his intention.

"There is news that Yuan Shao's troops have moved, and Yuan Shao's people are moving more and more frequently in the city, they may want to attack Jizhou."

Han Zhang told Han Fu the information he received.

"And some families in the city have already established a relationship with Yuan Shao and them, and some generals in the army have also talked very happily with Yuan Shao's people, I'm worried about ......"

"Enough! Say no more. ”

Han Fu turned his back to Han Zhang and interrupted him sharply, maybe their Han family is like this, cowardly to the outside world and tough on their family.

This is vividly reflected in Han Fu.

Han Zhang stopped talking and looked at his father in a daze.

"I have already decided to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao in exchange for the stability of our family."

Han Fu didn't look back at Han Zhang, because of this incident, it was quite embarrassing, and he surrendered before fighting.

"Why?"

Han Zhang's voice trembled, this was completely different from what he expected, why did he give up the strong Jizhou like this?

"Because, I'm not as good as him."

Han Fu turned around, unconsciously his face was full of tears, and Han Zhang only realized at this moment that his father's temples were already mixed with white hair.
