Don't look at Han Zhan's mouth and say that he let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei choose to stay freely, but in fact, he couldn't help it, for such a fierce general, how could he be willing to let them leave. After he said in public that he let the two choose whether to go or stay, he regretted it in his heart, and he was afraid that Guan Zhang and the others would return to Yedu to find Liu Bei without hesitation.

At this moment, after hearing the replies of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he pretended to be generous and said: "The two pioneers must be very tired after fighting for several months, so they might as well go back to their respective camps to rest first, and after resting here for two days, it is not too late to lead the troops south." ”

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei left, Guo Jia saw that there were only himself, Han Zhan and Zhao Yun in the lobby, so he approached Han Zhan's side and asked in a low voice: "Lord, if Guan and Zhang are determined to go to Yedu, what are you going to do with them?" As he spoke, he wiped it on his neck with the palm of his hand, "Do you want to send someone to ...... them on the road?"

Although Guo Jia's words came to an abrupt end here, Han Zhan still understood what the other party meant, so he shook his head and said: "Feng Xiao's words are wrong, even if the two of them don't want to stay, Ben Hou will let them leave, and he will definitely not send someone to plot against them on the road." ”

"But has the lord considered that Guan Zhang and the others are brave, if they return to Yedu, they will definitely think of rescuing Liu Bei." Guo Jia reminded Han Zhan: "Liu Xuande is not a person who has lived under the people for a long time, if he gets out of trouble, he will definitely think of leaving Yedu with Guan Zhang and the others, and make a comeback elsewhere, and then it will be a problem for our henchmen." ”

For Guo Jia's concern, Han Zhan smiled, and then said with a big grin: "Feng Xiao is too worried. The bravery of Guan and Zhang is well known to Ben Hou. However, even if Liu Xuande gets the help of the two of them, I am afraid it will be difficult to become a climate. ”

Seeing that Han Zhan said so surely, Guo Jia couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why is the lord so confident that he thinks that Liu Xuande is difficult to become a climate?" ”

"Guan Zhang and the two are both enemies, and they can be invincible when they charge into battle, but they can only be generals, not officials." Han Zhan explained to Guo Jia: "Liu Bei's Sun Qian and Jian Yong's generations are white-faced scholars, not talents who help the world. Without the help of geniuses, if he wants to achieve hegemony, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky. ”

When he said this, Han Zhan secretly thought in his heart: Liu Bei's identity as a so-called "Han clan relative" has been confirmed to be nothing under his own encouragement. Losing this dazzling aura, it is believed that there will not be so many military generals loyal to the Han Dynasty to defect to him. In addition, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and others have become his subordinates, so that Liu Bei's strength is far weaker than in history, and it may be difficult for him to do anything.

"It seems that the lord has already thought about this matter, but Jia has been thinking about it." After Guo Jia said this, he diverted the topic: "General Ziyi has been recruiting troops in Xuzhou for several months, but there has never been any news, and I don't know if he has recruited new soldiers from Danyang for the lord?" ”

After being reminded by Guo Jiayi, Han Zhan immediately thought that he had sent Tai Shici to Xuzhou to recruit troops, but it had been a few months now, but he had no information at all, and he didn't know if the Danyang male soldiers he wanted had been recruited, and when he would be able to rush to the border between Qingzhou and Xuzhou to join his main force.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly instructed Zhao Yun: "Big brother, immediately send capable people to Xuzhou to find Ziyi's whereabouts and see if he has recruited new soldiers from Danyang." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Yun bowed, turned around and walked out of the house quickly, and went outside to arrange people.

"My lord," Guo Jia continued to ask, "If General Ziyi returns with Danyang recruits, I wonder how you plan to settle them?" Will they be scattered among the armies, or will they be alone? If you are a solo army, who should lead it? ”

"This, this ......" Han Zhanguang considered that the Danyang Army was a strong army in the Three Kingdoms, so he couldn't wait to order Tai Shici to go to Xuzhou to recruit troops, and he didn't think about how to settle them after this army came back.

Guo Jia also saw Han Zhan's embarrassment, and hurriedly suggested to him: "Lord, didn't you name your escort army as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Guard?" ”

"That's right, there is only one tiger and leopard cavalry now, and the Tiger Guard Army will not be formed until we return to Yedu." When Han Zhan said this, he immediately guessed Guo Jia's voice-over, and hurriedly asked tentatively: "Fengxiao, do you mean to directly organize the Danyang recruits into the Tiger Guard?" ”

Seeing that Han Zhan guessed his intentions, Guo Jia nodded with a smile: "Lord, Jia Zheng has this intention, after General Ziyi brings this new army back, he will directly reorganize it into the Tiger Guard Army, responsible for protecting the safety of the lord." ”

"That's very good," Han Zhan agreed very much with Guo Jia's suggestion, and he continued: "After Ziyi brings back the new army, it will be reorganized into the Tiger Guard Army, and Ziman will be in command." ”

"General Dian Wei will command the Tiger Guards?" Guo Jia heard Han Zhan say this, and his face showed a look of surprise: "Lord, Ziman is brave and fierce, suitable for charging on the battlefield, and the position of the commander of the Tiger Guard, in Jia's opinion, it is better to appoint someone else." ”

Han Zhan thought to himself that in real history, Dian Wei Ke had been Cao Cao's escort until he finally died in Zhang Xiu's army. Thinking of this, he said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, although Ziman is brave and fierce, he lacks strategy and is not suitable for commanding troops, so let him command Benhou's Tiger Guard." ”

Guo Jia saw that Han Zhan had already made up his mind, and it was difficult to argue anymore, so he could only follow the other party's meaning: "Since the commander of the Tiger Guard Army is the lord of General Ziman, then this matter is all up to the lord." ”

While the two were talking, Zhao Yun, who had just left, hurriedly walked in again. He said to Han Zhan with a sad face: "Second brother, Ziyi sent a messenger to say that there is something important to ask to see the lord. ”

When Han Zhan saw Zhao Yun's face, he immediately realized that something might be wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, is there any bad news?" ”

Zhao Yun nodded vigorously and replied, "According to the messenger, Ziyi recruited thousands of recruits in Xuzhou, and on the way back, he was chased and killed by the soldiers and horses sent by Yuan Shu. Ziyi took the recruits and fought and left, and now he has retreated to Licheng in the East China Sea, and asks the lord to send troops to rescue him as soon as possible. ”

Knowing that Tai Shi Ci was actually chased and killed by Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, Han Zhan couldn't help frowning, he walked to the map hanging on the side, and after carefully checking it, he asked puzzledly: "Yuan Shu is competing with Liu Shu for Yangzhou, how could he send someone to Xuzhou?" Could it be that Tao Qian is ignoring it? ”

Regarding Han Zhan's question, Zhao Yun shook his head with a wry smile, saying that he didn't know either. Seeing that Zhao Yun couldn't give the answer he wanted, Han Zhan hurriedly ordered: "Big brother, call Ziyi's messenger in, and the younger brother will personally ask what is going on." ”
