After Han Zhan waited for Guo Jia to leave, he got up and came to the backyard of the Shou General's Mansion. Instead of going back to his room, he went straight to the room where Rob was recuperating.

The sergeant outside the door saw Han Zhan's arrival, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted him: "See the lord!" ”

Han Zhan waved his hand at them, looked at the room with his eyes, and asked with concern, "How is the situation inside, has Rob woken up?" ”

The sergeant shook his head and said, "Lord Hui, he hasn't woken up yet, and Doctor Hua is helping him treat his injuries inside." ”

"Ben Hou knows." Han Zhan walked over, lifted the curtain blocking the door, and walked into the room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Rob lying on the bed, Hua Tuo was bandaging his wounds, while the eighth aunt was squatting aside, staring intently at Rob who was still unconscious, with a face full of concern.

Han Zhan didn't speak, just stood aside and quietly looked at Hua Tuo, who was busy. After Hua Tuo finished bandaging his wound, he inadvertently looked up, saw Han Zhan standing aside, and said with some surprise: "I don't know when Tinghou came, the old man didn't notice it, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

"Doctor Huashen is exempt." Han Zhan waved his hand at him and asked with concern, "I don't know how Rob's injury is?" When will I recover? ”

Hua Tuo wiped his hands clean, got up and twisted his beard and said, "His injuries need to be recuperated, if he can stay here for a few more days, he can recover faster." ”

Hearing Hua Tuo say this, Han Zhan immediately made up his mind without hesitation: "Since this is the case, then we will stay in Guantao for two more days, and it will not be too late to wait for Rob to wake up and then hurry." ”

After speaking, Han Zhan walked to the bed, squatted down and looked at Luo Bu lying on it, sighed softly, raised his head and said to the eighth aunt who was squatting on the other side: "Eighth aunt, take care of Luo Bu, I will bother you." ”

The eighth aunt grinned and said, "Where did Tinghou say, serving people was originally what the old concubine was good at. Since Tinghou handed over Luo Junye to the concubine, the concubine should do her best to take care of him. ”

When Hua Tuo came out of the house with Han Zhan carrying the medicine box on his back, he whispered to Han Zhan: "Tinghou, I don't know if you have seen that the eighth aunt has some affection for Luo Junye. ”

"I see." Han Zhan nodded and said, "I want the two to get married as soon as possible, but unfortunately Rob is still unconscious, so he can only postpone the marriage." ”

…………

The next day, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others came to the Shoujiang's Mansion and asked Han Zhan to leave for Jizhou immediately. But Han Zhan shook his head and said, "Doctor Hua said that Luo Bu's injury needs to be recuperated, and Ben Hou plans to stay here for two more days, and when his injury improves, it will not be too late for us to go on the road again." ”

For Han Zhan's arrangement, Zhao Yun and other generals felt that it didn't matter, but Guo Jia was a little anxious: "Lord, have you forgotten what you and I discussed last night?" ”

After Guo Jia's reminder, Han Zhan also remembered the matter of sending Shi Tao as an envoy, and hurriedly said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, if you don't remind you, Ben Hou almost forgot about it." Since we can't go back to Jizhou for the time being, we will summon Shi Tao to Guantao and let him set off from here to Jingshi. ”

Hearing Han Zhan say this, Guo Jia understood in his heart that it was estimated that he would not be able to return to Jizhou in the short term, so he could only say helplessly: "My subordinates will repair the book for Shi Guangyuan and ask him to rush to the pavilion as soon as possible." ”

Seeing that Guo Jia wanted to say goodbye and leave, Han Zhan hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Fengxiao, let me ask you, now Chang'an and Luoyang are not suitable for Dingdu." Where should we place the Holy Drive? ”

"At the beginning, the lord once said that he would return Yuan Shao's two sons and his general Chun Yuqiong, and promote him as the pastor of Yanzhou in exchange for him giving up Yecheng." Guo Jia heard Han Zhan ask himself, and hurriedly told Han Zhan's past strategy. After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "After Yuan Shao sent troops to intercept and kill the lord yesterday, Jizhou and Yuan Shao were already incompatible. If you still use the original strategy, I am afraid it will not work. ”

"So what are we going to do?" When Zhao Yun heard this, he couldn't help but interject and ask.

"The lord said yesterday that the Qingzhou can be postponed to the summer and autumn season." Guo Jia said to everyone: "Today, we are not in a hurry to take Qingzhou, we can transfer the soldiers and horses over and seize Yecheng." As long as you take Yecheng, you can build a large number of buildings in the city and build a palace for the Holy Driver......"

Guo Jia's description of the bright prospect made everyone nod their heads again and again after hearing it. Everyone thought in their hearts that if they took Yecheng first and built a palace in the city, they would be able to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the lord would dominate the world in the future, which was just around the corner.

After Han Zhan waited for Guo Jia to finish speaking, he asked everyone: "Everyone, do you all agree with what Mr. Guo said?" Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, he hurriedly said: "Since everyone agrees with Mr. Guo's idea, then we will first transfer the soldiers and horses from Jizhou to Guantao and start a war with Yuan Shao as soon as possible." ”

"Fengxiao," Han Zhan stared at Guo Jia again and said, "Write a letter to Shi Guangyuan as soon as possible, and ask him to send an envoy to Jingshi and ask Li Guo and the others for civil and military officials." If there are no civil and military officials, we can't just have a saint. ”

After Guo Jia waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, he asked him for instructions: "Lord, if you decide to attack Yecheng, it is better to take the holy car back to the pavilion Tao. ”

"Why is that?" Regarding Guo Jia's proposal, Han Zhan asked curiously.

"Most of Jizhou is in the hands of our army." Guo Jia saw that everyone, including Han Zhan, looked confused, so he explained to them: "But don't forget that the boundary bridge dozens of miles east of Jizhou City can be in the hands of Gongsun Zhan. If he takes advantage of our army to Yecheng and sends troops to attack Jizhou City, the holy car may be robbed by him at that time. ”

When Han Zhan listened to Guo Jia's analysis, he felt that his mind was a mess. was originally going to marry Gongsun Zhan, so that he could calmly send troops to Qingzhou and merge the state, and bring these two states into his jurisdiction; Then induce Yuan Shao to give up Yecheng and build a new palace in the city for Emperor Han Xian.

But at this moment, everything seems to be out of order. Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses were eyeing the boundary bridge; And Yuan Shao of Yecheng also hated himself to the core, and even sent Yan Liangwen and Chou to try to put himself to death.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan stood up and said to the crowd: "Since Yuan Shao is so ignorant, then we will teach him a good lesson." Feng Xiao immediately wrote a letter to Xun Changshi, ordering him and Zhang He to leave 20,000 soldiers and horses to stick to Jizhou, and the rest of the men and horses were transferred to Guantao. ”

…………

Five days later, the army and grain and grass of Jizhou entered the Guantao City one after another.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both had their own spies in Guantao City, and the news of the gathering of Guantao troops soon spread to Yecheng and Dongjun.

After Cao Cao got the news, he immediately convened his subordinates to discuss why Han Zhan had gathered so many soldiers and horses. Cao Cao had five famous advisors under him: Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu. At this moment, the first three are already working for Han Zhan, and Jia Xu is still under Li Dao and Guo Yan, and Cheng Yu is the only one who can give advice to Cao Cao.

Cheng Yu walked out of the Wenchen queue, arched his hand towards Cao Cao, and said: "Qi Yu raised his hand, in Yu's opinion, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou gathered in the pavilion Tao to attack Yecheng. ”

As soon as Cheng Yu's words were finished, Cao Hong continued: "The city wall of Ye is high and deep, and it is probably not an easy thing for Jizhou soldiers and horses to take the city. ”

"Jizhou has a large number of soldiers and a wide range of generals, and there is plenty of grain and grass." Regarding Han Zhan's imminent attack on Yecheng, he expressed his opinion: "As long as they send troops and horses to surround Yecheng, and then divide their troops to take other cities, they can quickly isolate Yecheng." When the soldiers and civilians in the city find that Yecheng is already an isolated city, people's hearts will fluctuate, and when the Jizhou soldiers and horses launch an attack again, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort and take Yecheng lightly. ”

"The difference between what Mr. Cheng Yu said." Cao Ren also stood up from the crowd and said to Cao Cao: "Dividing troops to fight is a taboo for soldiers. If the soldiers and horses of Jizhou besieged the city while dividing their troops to seize other cities, once the plan was discovered by Yuan Shao's strategists and took the opportunity to counterattack, there was a possibility of being defeated. ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "General Cao Ren doesn't know that Jizhou originally belonged to the Han family, but it was just taken by Yuan Shao. Most of the officials in the county are the old Han family, as long as the Han family boy ascends to the heights and shouts, many cities near Yecheng can go down without a fight. ”

"What Mr. Cheng Yu said is extremely true." After listening to it for a long time, Cao Cao finally spoke: "Sir, if the soldiers and horses of Jizhou start a war with Yuan Shao, which side should we help?" ”

"If you don't help each other, watch from the wall." Cheng Yu suggested to Cao Cao: "If two tigers fight, one will be injured." When the two sides are inseparable, we will come forward to make peace. If possible, he can also take advantage of the fisherman and obtain a few cities from Yuan Shao's hands. ”

"That's a brilliant plan!" Cao Cao nodded and said, "Then Mr. Yi!" ”

…………

Yecheng, Yuan Shao's official residence.

Yuan Shao learned that Han Zhan's army had gathered in Guantao, and hurriedly summoned all the civil and military forces to discuss the matter. After the others arrived, he told everyone about the gathering of troops in Guantao City, and then asked, "Everyone, tell me, what should we do?" ”

Feng Ji stood up first and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there are still 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yecheng, plus the walls are high and the pools are deep, it is not easy for the Han family to seize the city." ”

Yan Liangwen and Chou, who had just suffered defeat under Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others, were feeling palpitations, and at this moment they heard that Jizhou soldiers and horses were gathering in Guantao and were about to come to attack Yecheng, and they were also a little anxious. Yan Liang hurriedly came out and said: "Lord, although there are 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yecheng, most of them are newly recruited soldiers and have never been in battle. ”

Yuan Shao was a person who had no idea, and when he heard Yan Liang say this, his heart became more and more panicked, he turned his head to look at Xin Ping and asked, "Mr. Xin, what do you think we should do?" ”

Xin Ping said thoughtfully: "What Feng Yuantu said has some truth, if the army of the Han family children comes, we just need to close the door and not go out, and when they run out of food, they will naturally retreat." ”

Five days later, the army and grain and grass of Jizhou entered the Guantao City one after another.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both had their own spies in Guantao City, and the news of the gathering of Guantao troops soon spread to Yecheng and Dongjun.
