Chapter 0022: Return to Jizhou

After another two days, the sky finally cleared, and Yuan Shao's army was able to set off for Jizhou.

When he set off, Han Zhan originally wanted to ride a horse, but Zhang He and the others resolutely refused to allow him, so he had to ride in a carriage with Xun Chen. Zhang He said eloquently: "Childe, He is ordered to protect you and Mr. Xun. Now that he is about to return to Jizhou, if there is any mistake, the end will be dead. ”

Zhao Yun waited for Zhang He to finish speaking, and also said: "Son, what Jun Sima said is very true. You should sit in the carriage, even if you are attacked by thieves on the way, we can keep your son safe. ”

Seeing that Zhang He and Zhao Yun were both persuading him to ride a horse, Han Zhan didn't intend to embarrass the two, and after a little thought, he readily agreed: "Since everyone says so, then I will take the carriage today!" ”

Hearing that Han Zhan agreed to take the carriage, Zhang He and Zhao Yun both secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In order to ensure the safety of the carriage, Zhang He specially arranged for twenty cavalrymen armed with shields to guard both sides of the carriage, so that when attacked, they could block the crossbow arrows from both sides.

The army marched on the road for two days before approaching the city of Jizhou. And the leader of the assassins who was responsible for assassinating Han Zhan, disguised himself as a merchant and followed far behind on horseback, although there were hills and forests along the way, but because of Zhang He's strict protection measures, he didn't find any opportunity to take advantage of it, let alone sneak into the barracks at night, even approaching a range of two hundred steps, it was a luxury.

Seeing that it was only five or six miles away from Jizhou City, the leader of the assassins knew that it was tantamount to an idiot's dream to assassinate Han Zhan again, so he sighed, pulled out the sword he was wearing, and put it on his neck. When the blade of the sword cut through the skin of his neck, a thought suddenly occurred to him: I am only employed by Childe, not his subordinates. If you fail to complete the assassination mission, you don't want the remaining half of the bounty, so why do you have to cut it off yourself?

With this in mind, the Assassin leader removed the sword from his neck and inserted it back into its scabbard. He looked in the direction of Jizhou, sneered and said, "Childe, I'm sorry, although I didn't complete your mission, Chen didn't want to die so early, so don't leave it at that!" ”

After a pause, he continued: "Master Han, your men killed my three brothers, and I will settle this account with you sooner or later." You wait, I'll come back to you again! With that, he turned his horse's head and went in the direction he had come.

……

……

The apricot-yellow "Han" banner on the tower of Jizhou West Gate City is waving back and forth in the wind. Inside and outside the city gate, the people of Jizhou stood in the middle of the road. The brightly clad Jizhou army, holding Changge, stood on both sides of the road, not allowing the lively people to rush to the middle of the road. Jizhou Mu Han Fu, who got the news, personally led his civil and military officials to greet Yuan Shao and his party outside the door.

The faint sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance, which immediately drew everyone's attention. It didn't take long for thousands of cavalry to appear in the distance, slowly moving towards Jizhou City. In front of the cavalry team, there is a team of standard-bearers, and in the middle is a large banner with the word "Yuan" written on it.

Seeing Yuan Shao's cavalry appear, the most excited thing was Xin Ping, he pointed to the big banner with his finger, and said emotionally: "Fujun, look, that's the banner of the Marquis of Yixiang." He was in a hurry to change his court, and he didn't realize that his name for Han Fu in a hurry had changed from the previous "lord" to "the prince".

Han Fu noticed the change in Xin Ping's name for himself, and his face showed a look of displeasure, but considering that in front of the public, if he reprimanded Xin Ping for the issue of title, he was afraid that it would affect his reputation, so he could only endure this evil breath.

The cavalry came quickly, and in an instant, they were less than a hundred paces away. The banner stopped, as did the flag-bearer who followed it, and then flashed neatly to the sides, making way for a passage. Yuan Shao took Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Feng Ji and rode out of the passage on horseback, and slowly came towards the position where Han Fu was standing.

Han Fu hurriedly greeted him, stopped more than ten steps away from Yuan Shao, gave a deep salute, and said respectfully: "Jizhou Han Fu, welcome the Marquis of Yi Township and the general of the Che Cavalry!" ”

Yuan Shao hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward with a smile, held Han Fu's hand, and said with a smile: "Wenjie, you and I are old friends, so you don't need to be so polite." ”

Just as Han Fu and Yuan Shao were talking, Han Zhan and Xun Chen also got out of the carriage and each rode a horse to catch up. Stopped more than twenty steps away from the two of them, and after the two turned over and dismounted, they walked quickly in front of Han Fu.

Xun Chen stepped forward and bowed to Han Fu, while Han Zhan reluctantly knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to Han Fu, and said respectfully: "Father, the child is fortunate to live up to his life, and he has invited Yuan Che to Jizhou." ”

"Zhan'er, thank you for your hard work." Han Fu hurriedly stepped forward to help his son up from the ground.

"It is a child's duty to serve his father." Han Zhan's face was not red, and his heart did not beat, and he replied: "I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire." ”

"Wenjie," Yuan Shao and the other father and son said a few words, and then interjected: "Although Ling Lang is young, he has outstanding knowledge, and in time, he will definitely be able to become your right-hand man." ”

"The Marquis of Yi Township has won the prize." When Han Fu heard Yuan Shao praising his son, he immediately smiled. But he did not forget his business, and beckoned to the back, and a carriage that had been prepared for a long time drove over and stopped beside several people.

Han Fu threw the coachman out of the car, arched his hand towards Yuan Shao and said, "Please get in the car and take Fu to drive for you personally!" ”

"Wenjie personally drove for Shao, how can Shao afford it." Yuan Shao pretended to excuse himself and said, "I think it's better to walk into the city." When Han Fu persuaded him for the second time, Yuan Shao no longer shirked and couldn't wait to board the carriage.

After the carriage driven by Han Fu started, Xun Chen, who had just arrived, followed closely behind with Han Zhan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Feng Ji and others. Later, there were two hundred cavalry brought by Zhang He and five hundred elite cavalry under Yuan Shao.

The onlookers saw Yuan Shao sitting in the carriage, and some people asked curiously: "Is this the general of the Yuan chariot of the fourth world and the third duke?" ”

"It's not, this is the Marquis of Yi Xiang, Bohai Taishou Yuan Benchu." An insider next to him immediately replied: "I heard from a relative on an errand that Han Fujun had already ceded Jizhou to the Marquis of Yixiang. Nuo Nuonuo, the young man who followed behind the carriage, was the eldest son of Han Fujun, and he personally gave the seal ribbon of Jizhou to the Marquis of Yixiang. From now on, Jizhou will change his surname to Yuan. ”

The people of Jizhou have a very simple idea, as long as the world is peaceful and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, then who is the pastor of Jizhou, for them, it really doesn't matter at all: "This is really good." Some time ago, it was said that Gongsun Zhan was going to call, which made people panic, but now that the Marquis of Yi is here, Jizhou will be peaceful in the world. ”

On the second floor of a restaurant next to the street, by the window, sat a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes, and two domestic servants stood beside him. At this moment, he was staring at Han Zhan who was following the carriage with vicious eyes, gritting his back molars, and said viciously: "The surname Han, this time you are lucky, several assassins have not been able to kill you." But don't be complacent, three days as fast as possible, five days as slow as possible, and I will let you die without a corpse. ”
