The cavalry governor saw the Wen Chou soldiers and horses that appeared in the north, and then glanced at Huang Zhong, who was fighting with Yan Liang, and then said to Han Zhan: "Don't panic, my lord, I will open a bloody road for you to kill at the end." With that, he took fifty cavalry and rushed towards the troop of soldiers and horses.

Han Zhan watched the Riding Governor rush towards Wen Chou without hesitation, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. Although he knew that Wen Chou's martial arts were superb, he even wanted a miracle to happen, even if this cavalry governor could not defeat Wen Chou, as long as he could support him for a while, Huang Zhong killed Yan Liang and could go over to support him.

Then it backfired, and the Riding Governor had only walked two rounds under Wen Chou's men before he was stabbed under his horse with a shot. And the fifty cavalrymen in the opponent's army formation were quickly wiped out.

Seeing that the cavalry governor was killed in battle and the fifty cavalry who attacked were all wiped out, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel hopeless. He clenched the sword in his hand, ready to wait for Wen Chou to rush up, and fight with the other party to break the net.

At this moment, there was a sudden chaos in Wen Chou's rear army, and a military horse rushed into the formation, and the front general held a double halberd and fought with Wen Chou. Han Zhan saw that it was Dian Wei who came clearly, and couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, he raised his sword high and shouted loudly: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, kill!" ”

Don't look at the small number of cavalry around Han Zhan, but their mounts are equipped with stirrups, so that their combat effectiveness can be higher than that of other cavalry. As soon as they rushed into Wen Chou's formation, they immediately rushed Yuan Bing to pieces.

Wen Chou and Dian Wei's martial arts are inherently equal, and if they fight alone, it will take at least two or three hundred rounds to determine the winner. At this moment, seeing his soldiers and horses in chaos, he couldn't help but be a little panicked. At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud roar in the distance: "Changshan Zhao Zilong is here!" ”

"Big brother is here too!" When Han Zhan heard Zhao Yun's voice, his heart became more and more steady, don't look at Yan Liangwen's superb martial arts, but the two of them faced Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei at the same time, and they only had to give away their heads. Zhao Yun's arrival became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Wen Chou's men immediately scattered and fled.

Seeing that his men were killed and scattered, Wen Chou hurriedly shook a shot and forced Dian Wei back, and then turned his horse and fled towards Yan Liang's location. Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were in hot pursuit.

On the official road in the south, Yan Liang, who was inseparable from Huang Zhong, suddenly saw Wen Chou fleeing in embarrassment, followed by a military general with a spear and a halberd, and hurriedly left Huang Zhong and rushed towards Zhao Yun and Dian Wei.

Yan Liang and Huang Zhong fought for a long time, and they were already physically exhausted, and at this moment, in order to save Wen Chou, he couldn't care less, so he rushed forward and slashed down with a knife according to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun knocked away his broadsword with the spear in his hand, and then came a move to sweep through the thousand armies and sweep towards his neck. Frightened, Yan Liang hurriedly shrank his head and dodged Zhao Yun's fatal shot, but his helmet was swept away by the tip of the gun.

Yan Liang didn't dare to fight, and fled south with Wen Chou, with Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei chasing after them. When the two fled into the formation, Yuan Bing immediately surrounded Zhao Yun and the others, greeted with long spears and short knives, and from time to time came two cold arrows, which overwhelmed Zhao Yun and the others.

Han Zhan was afraid that Zhao Yun and the others would make a mistake, so he hurriedly ordered Ming Jin. When Zhao Yun heard Mingjin's voice, he stopped fighting and slowly retreated.

When Zhao Yun came to him, Han Zhan held the other party's hand and said excitedly: "If it weren't for the arrival of the eldest brother and Dian Wei in time, it is estimated that Ben Hou's life would have been confessed here." After saying the words of gratitude, he suddenly remembered, why did Zhao Yun and Dian Wei appear in such a timely manner? So he asked curiously: "Big brother, aren't you in Jizhou?" Why is it here? ”

In front of everyone, Zhao Yun did not call Han Zhan a brother, but replied respectfully: "Xun Gongda received the letter sent by the lord and is quite relieved to know that the Son of Heaven has been rescued from Chang'an. Later, after hearing that the lord was left behind, they were led by the frustrated prison army with the holy car, fearing that the lord was in danger, so he ordered the troops to come to meet him. ”

Han Zhan's gaze fell on Dian Wei on the side, and then asked, "How did Dian Wei come from?" ”

"Back to the lord," Dian Wei hurriedly replied, "I escorted the holy chariot with the army of the frustrated prisoners, crossed the Yellow River, joined up with the army led by Mr. Guo, and returned to Guantao. When General Zhao came to meet him, Mr. Guo saw Zilong and shouted badly, saying that the lord was afraid that there would be a big disaster, so he ordered me to lead the troops to accompany General Zilong to meet the lord. As soon as we left the city, we met the cavalry sent by the lord to ask for help, and we immediately hurried over. ”

After listening to Zhao Yun and Dian Wei's narration, Han Zhan finally understood why the two of them came in such a timely manner. At the same time, he was also a little dissatisfied with Guo Jia in his heart, feeling that he was not as magical as recorded in history.

As we passed by the place where the battle had just begun, the corpses on the ground had been properly collected. Han Zhan saw the corpse of the cavalry governor lying on the ground, turned his head and said to Huang Zhong: "If it weren't for the cavalry governor leading fifty cavalry to fight to the death, I'm afraid Benhou would not have been able to wait for the arrival of Zilong and Dian Wei." Hansheng, find a place to bury them immediately. ”

……

Han Zhan led the army to Guantao, and Guo Jia, Gao Lan and others were already waiting at the city gate.

After greeting the two, Han Zhan asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, I don't know where the frustrated prison army and the holy driver are now?" ”

"Back to the lord," Guo Jia replied respectfully, "they have already set off for Jizhou." He was worried that Han Zhan would be on a whim and would not get off the horse or unload the saddle, so he went to chase after Emperor Han Xian, so he persuaded him: "My lord, how about the soldiers who have worked all the way and rested in Guantao for one night, and then returned to Jizhou?" ”

In fact, even if Guo Jia didn't say it, Han Zhan didn't want to leave. He pushed the boat along the way and said: "In this case, then the army will rest here for one night, and it will not be too late to rush to Jizhou tomorrow." ”

After dinner, he gathered the civil and military forces in the Pavilion Tao City to perform ceremonies. He said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, Ben Hou originally wanted to wait for the beginning of spring, so he ordered you and Xun Gongda to lead the troops to take Qingzhou. However, at the beginning of spring, I am afraid that the spring plowing and sowing will be delayed, and the harvest in Qingzhou will be affected, so that even if we conquer Qingzhou, the people will still be difficult to survive because of lack of food. Therefore, Benhou planned to postpone the day of the expedition until the summer. ”

Hearing Han Zhan say this, Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and the others said in unison: "The lord is wise! ”

After discussing things for a while, Han Zhan asked everyone to retreat, leaving Guo Jia alone. He said casually: "Fengxiao, Ben Hou met someone on the road this time, how much does he have a relationship with you?" ”

When Guo Jia heard Han Zhan say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked rhetorically: "How much does it have a relationship with me, I don't know who the lord is talking about?" ”

Han Zhan asked with a smile, "Do you still remember the old bustard eighth aunt of the Huanuan Pavilion in Sheguo County?" ”

"Remember, remember." Guo Jia once regarded Hua Nuan Pavilion as his home, and lived there for a few months, how could he not remember the truth of the old bustard's eight aunts. But he was puzzled and asked, "Lord, why did you remember to ask her?" Could it be that the person you met on the road was not her? ”

"Exactly." Han Zhan nodded and said, "This time I was chased and killed by Li Guo's soldiers and horses, and Rob was seriously injured in order to save me, and it was the eighth aunt who saved him. According to Ben Hou's observation, the eighth aunt seems to be a little interested in Rob, and plans to become them, I don't know if Feng Xiao is willing to be this matchmaker? ”

When Guo Jia heard that it was this, he laughed twice and replied: "This is a good thing for the beauty of adults, where does Guo have a reason to refuse." If the lord is not too fast, he might as well let the two of them get married tonight. ”

"It's too early to get married tonight." Han Zhan waved his hand and said, "Rob is seriously injured, and his consciousness is not clear at the moment, so if he wants to spend candles in the cave room, he has to wait for two months." ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Guo Jia suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Lord, there is something under my subordinates, I don't know whether to talk about it or not!" ”

Seeing Guo Jia talking in a hurry, Han Zhan's heart was a little unhappy: "Fengxiao, you are Benhou's military advisor, just say anything you want, don't look forward to it so much." ”

"Although the lord rescued the holy car from Chang'an, the civil and military officials are still in Beijing." Guo Jia frowned and said to Han Zhan: "If Li Dao, Guo Yan and others set up a new monarch again, then everything we have done will be in vain. ”

Guo Jia's words, like a slap in the face, made Han Zhan fight a cold war excitedly, he just thought about how to rescue Emperor Han Xian, but he didn't expect that if there were no civil and military officials, what was the use of having an emperor alone. If Li Guo and the others declared to the world, saying that Emperor Han Xian died violently, and supported a new monarch, the Emperor Han Xian in their hands would not only not be a help, but would become a hidden danger.

Thinking of this, he asked tremblingly: "Fengxiao, I understand what you mean." If Li Guo and the others support the new king, they can also announce to the world, saying that we are looking for someone to pretend to be a holy driver, and we can order the princes to besiege us. Right? ”

"That's right." Regarding Han Zhan's speculation, Guo Jia nodded and expressed affirmation: "As long as the new monarch takes the throne, our Jizhou will become the target of public criticism." At that time, not to mention the conquest of Qingzhou, pacification and annexation of the state, even holding Jizhou will be a problem. And once we lose the righteousness, we will face the situation of betraying our relatives. ”

Guo Jia's words made Han Zhan break out in a cold sweat, and he hurriedly asked Guo Jia for advice: "Fengxiao, I don't know if there is any way to get through the difficulties in front of me?" ”

"We can only take risks," Guo Jiazi said carefully, "Send a competent person to meet Li Guo and the others, and Xu and the high-ranking officials and marquises, and ask them to send the civil and military officials to Jizhou, and then our crisis will be solved." ”

"But who shall we send?" Han Zhan felt that what Guo Jia said was a solution, but when it came to the selection of envoys, he was worried again, if the envoys sent could not convince Li Guo and the others, it would only make things worse. "Fengxiao, do you have the right candidate?"

"There's one." Han Zhan just asked casually with a fluke mentality, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to reply confidently: "As soon as this person comes out, with his eloquence, he will definitely be able to persuade Li Guo and the others to send the hundred officials to Jizhou." ”

Hearing that there was such a talent in Jizhou, Han Zhan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked, "Fengxiao, I don't know who you are talking about?" ”

"Shi Tao, Shi Guangyuan."

"That friend of Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi?"

"Exactly!"

Han Zhan was a little hesitant about the talents recommended by Guo Jia, although this person was known as the "Four Friends of Zhuge with Cui Zhouping), Meng Gongwei, Xu Yuanzhi and others, but his ability, there is no detailed record in the history books, Han Zhan only remembered that this person later defected to Cao Cao, the official worshiped the captain of the agricultural school, and also served as a county guard.

"Lord," seeing that Han Zhan didn't speak for a long time, Guo Jia urged: "I don't know if you think this person is okay?" ”

Han Zhan's mind thought quickly, thinking that since this person could be appointed by Cao Cao as the captain of the agricultural school and the county guard, it proved that he still had real talent and learning. You might as well send him to try, anyway, the worst situation is just that Li Guo and the others pretended to be a holy order and let the princes of the world raise troops to attack themselves.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan nodded and said, "Since he is the one recommended by Feng Xiao, then Ben Hou naturally has no objections. When we returned to Jizhou, we ordered him to send an envoy to Chang'an to find a way to rescue the civil and military officials. ”

Seeing that Han Zhan agreed to his proposal, Guo Jia couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted Han Zhan deeply, saying, "Lord Declaration!" ”

After the big thing was over, Han Zhan chatted with Guo Jia about personal matters again: "Fengxiao, I don't know if Zhao Ji has a letter to send to Jizhou during the time I left?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head after hearing this, and said, "Zhao Ji is keeping filial piety for Cai, so she may not be able to take care of the love of her children." After saying this, seeing that the expression on Han Zhan's face darkened, he hurriedly added, "But in Guo's opinion, Miss Cai will not forget the lord." His words made Han Zhan happy again.

"That's right," Speaking of Cai Yan, Han Zhan suddenly remembered Lu Bu who crossed the Yellow River with the Holy Driver, and there was a world-famous stunning beauty Diao Chan beside him, and he didn't know where they went: "Isn't it Lu Bu and a few of his subordinates who have passed with the Frustrated Prison Army, where are they now?" ”

"After the frustrated prison army joined us with the chariot, Lu Fengxian took a few people and headed south, saying that he was going to defect to Yuan Shu." Guo Jia said expressionlessly: "However, there is a man named Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, who left behind with four subordinates named Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, and followed them to Jizhou. ”

Han Zhan never thought that Lu Bu would submit to him, and he was walking with him at that time, but it was because he was chased and killed by Li Guo's soldiers and horses that he was cornered, so he temporarily took refuge in his place. Now that he has crossed the Yellow River and has left Li Guo's sphere of influence, he can do whatever he wants. As for Zhang Liao and the others staying, it was much beyond Han Zhan's expectations, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
