Seeing that he was about to arrive at the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Xun Chen, who was riding a horse and parallel to Han Zhan, suddenly shouted: "Son! ”

Hearing that Xun Chen did not call himself "Zhan'er", but "Gongzi", he knew that he must have something important to say, so he bowed down on the horse and asked respectfully: "I don't know what advice my uncle has?" ”

Xun Chen pondered for a moment, and finally spoke: "Childe, later on, the prince will be in the lobby and officially hand over Jizhou to the Marquis of Yixiang." If you have been away from home for a long time, you should go home early so that you don't have to go to the ceremony again. ”

Han Zhan paused for a moment: "Why?" ”

Xun Chen looked at Han Zhan and said meaningfully: "Gongzi is a white ding, and he is not suitable to appear on such an occasion. ”

Xun Chen's words made Han Zhan understand that although he was the son of Han Fu, he had no official position, and he was not qualified to participate in such a major ceremony as the transfer of power in Jizhou.

Han Zhan endured the loss in his heart, and gave another salute to Xun Chen: "Since this is the case, Zhan'er will say goodbye." After saluting, he bowed his hand to Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Feng Ji, "Everyone, there will be a period later." With that, he turned his horse's head and headed for a nearby alley.

Han Zhan walked through the alley and came to another street. He rode his horse and walked slowly down the street, ready to enter the governor's mansion through the back door. After walking some distance, he suddenly saw no pedestrians on the street, and it seemed very deserted. He frowned, and said in his heart that there is usually a lot of traffic here, why can't I see anyone today, do you all go to the West Gate to see the excitement?

He rode forward for a while, and unexpectedly found that the back door of the governor's mansion was guarded by soldiers. Sixteen soldiers in bright armor lined up on both sides of the gate with long arms in their hands. A man dressed as a military marquis, riding a red horse and holding a steel gun, stood in the middle of the road in front of the door like a statue. The people who passed by the back door of the state governor's mansion did not dare to stop in the slightest, and they all accelerated their steps to leave.

When Han Zhan saw this situation, he felt extremely strange, and said in his heart What is going on, when will the back door of my house start to be heavily guarded? In order to find out what was going on, he hurriedly drove his horse towards the group of soldiers.

When the military marquis saw someone coming on horseback, he hurriedly turned the horse's head, walked a few steps, and then reined in the horse, held the gun in his right hand, pointed at Han Zhan with his left hand, and shouted: "Stop!" ”

Han Zhan was suddenly stopped in his way, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, saying in his heart What kind of people are these, and I am not allowed to go home? As he continued to let the war horse move forward, he asked curiously, "This military marquis, dare to ask what you are doing here?" ”

"The government is important, and idle people are not allowed to approach." The military marquis looked Han Zhan up and down, although he didn't recognize him as Han Fujun's son, but judging from his clothes, he was also a rich son. Therefore, the military marquis said politely: "Please also ask the prince to leave quickly." ”

"Junhou, I am the son of Han Fujun." Han Zhan saw that the other party still didn't recognize him, so he could only identify himself and say, "I just came back from outside to welcome Yuan Che back today, please make it convenient for the military marquis to let me go home." ”

"It turned out to be Childe." Hearing Han Zhan's identity, the military marquis hurriedly turned over and dismounted, hugged his gun and said: "My subordinates don't know the identity of the son, I am offended, please atone for my sins." ”

"The military marquis does not have to blame himself, and those who do not know are not guilty." Han Zhan sat on the back of the horse and stretched out his hand to support him, and then asked, "I wonder if I can be allowed to go home now?" ”

When the military marquis heard Han Zhan say this, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and then he returned to normal, "Gongzi doesn't know that the family members of the prince of the mansion no longer live in the mansion. ”

"What, the family is not in the house?" The words of the military marquis were so shocked that Han Zhan almost fell off his horse, "Then where is my family moving now?" ”

"The mansion of Zhao Zhong."

After figuring out the address of his new home, Han Zhan thanked the military marquis, turned his horse's head and prepared to leave. At this moment, he noticed that this military marquis was nine feet tall and dignified, and he was not a layman at first glance. He guessed that this military marquis might be a famous general in the Three Kingdoms era, so he asked curiously: "I don't know what to call a military marquis?" ”

The military marquis hurriedly replied: "A certain surname is Gao Minglan, a native of Hejian County." ”

After hearing this, Han Zhan bowed his head slightly, and said casually: "Oh, it's from Hejian, it's the same villager as the military Sima Zhang He." As soon as he said this, he was suddenly shocked, and then asked, "Junhou, what did you just say your name?" ”

"Riverside Gaze!" The marquis repeated his name again with a blank expression.

After confirming that the military marquis in front of him was Gao Lan, one of the four court pillars on the same level as Zhang He, Han Zhan couldn't help but smile dumbly. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, I saw Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Ran of the "Hebei Four Courtyard Pillars".

Although there are not many places where Gao Ran is described in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he is basically juxtaposed with Zhang He, the comments on him are not high. Especially his last appearance in the book, purely to take a shot from Zhao Yun, so as to achieve Zhao Yun's prestige. But since he can become one of the Four Court Pillars, it will not be too bad in terms of force or dominance.

"It turned out to be Uncle Yuan, I have been looking up for a long time." Han Zhan bowed his hand to Gao Ran, and said with a smile: "This son still has important things to do today, so I won't bother the military marquis here." Leave! ”

Looking at Han Zhan who was riding away, Gao Ran's face showed a confused expression, "I don't seem to have said my own words to Childe, how did he know?" But this little thing was soon forgotten by him, and he got back on his horse and returned to the back of the governor's mansion to continue his duties.

Han Zhan rode his horse, thinking with some loss in his heart, if he had soldiers and territory now, in addition to recruiting Zhao Yun, it would not be impossible to recruit Zhang He and the Gao Ran just now under his command. But now, with Han Fu's loss of power, he has also become a rootless duckweed, and it is not easy to protect himself, let alone create a foundation.

As he walked, he inadvertently looked up and found that he had come to a strange place, and looked around for a long time, but he didn't recognize where it was in Jizhou City. He hurriedly dismounted, grabbed a young man passing by, and asked, "Little brother, do you know how to get to the mansion of Zhao Zhong, the middle attendant?" ”

The young man was suddenly stopped by Han Zhan, he was startled, he waved his hands in a hurry, and without even saying a word, he broke free from Han Zhan and ran away quickly.

Han Zhan was in the same place, looking at the people coming and going in front of him, afraid of asking another unreliable person, so he patiently observed the suitable candidate. Finally, I saw an old man in plain clothes walking over slowly, hurriedly greeted him, bowed down, and asked, "Uncle, it's polite!" ”

When the old man saw that a man who looked like a rich boy was blocking in front of him, he greeted him politely, and hurriedly said politely: "This son, dare to ask you something?" ”

"Old man," Han Zhan asked politely, "Do you know where Zhao Zhong's mansion is?" ”

"Childe is bad, Zhao Zhong's mansion is in the north of the city," the old man said with some tears and laughter: "Why did Childe run away to the east of the city?" ”

Han Zhan's old face turned red, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Uncle, I am not familiar with Jizhou City, so I am lost." I also bothered my husband to show the way. ”
