But Han Zhan only hesitated for a moment, and then kowtowed to the holy decree to thank him: "Weichen Han Zhan, thank you for the decree!" ”

The eunuch re-rolled up the holy decree in his hand, walked over and handed it to Han Zhan, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Han Gongzi, you have been made a marquis at a young age." ”

When Han Zhan received the holy decree, he quietly stuffed a piece of gold cake in his hand into the eunuch's hand. The eunuch suddenly felt a sinking in his hand, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a golden gold cake, and the smile on his face suddenly became even greater. He arched his hand at Han Zhan and said, "The old slave's decree has been completed, and he will return to Beijing to resume the decree." Little Marquis, we will have a meeting later. ”

After the eunuch and Yu Linjun left, Guo Jia and Xun You hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Congratulations to the envoy, congratulations to the envoy, he was made a marquis at a young age, and his future prospects must be limitless." ”

Han Zhan sat down after returning to the table, put the holy decree in front of him, beckoned the two to sit down, and then asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, now that the will of the imperial court has not promoted me, but I have been given a knighthood, what should we do next?" ”

"Back to the words of the little marquis," Guo Jia no longer called Han Zhan an envoy, but changed his name to the little marquis, "Now that Gongsun Zhan is still in Fuliu City, we need to continue to wait." If he rashly sent troops, Yuan Shao would lead the Jizhou army to meet the battle, he had many generals, and the soldiers had been in battle for a long time, which was not something that our army could resist. With his words, he still advised Han Zhan to stay put, and when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were both defeated, he would send troops to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

While the three of them were talking, Zhao Yun suddenly hurriedly walked in from outside, stood in the hall and reported to Han Zhan: "Envoy Qi, I just received the news from Jizhou. ”

Hearing that there was news from Jizhou, Han Zhan hurriedly ordered: "Quickly bring it up." ”

Zhao Yun took a few steps forward and handed a white silk full of words to Han Zhan. As soon as Han Zhan took the white silk, he couldn't wait to expand and browse the content on it. Guo Jia and Xun You, who were sitting at the bottom, carefully observed Han Zhan's face, trying to figure out whether the good news or bad news came from the fine work.

I saw that after Han Zhan looked at a few lines, his brows furrowed, and then his face became more and more looked. After reading the above content, he slapped the white silk on the table and said angrily: "Yuan thief, it's really too deceitful!" ”

"Little Hou Ye," Seeing that Han Zhan was angry, Guo Jia hurriedly got up and asked curiously: "I don't know what is written on the white silk that makes you so angry?" ”

Zhao Yun, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face when he heard Guo Jia's address to Han Zhan. Because he was busy in the military camp just now, he didn't know that Han Zhan had been made a marquis.

Han Zhan threw the white silk in his hand to Guo Jia, and said indignantly: "Yuan Thief sent people to arrest all the civil and military officials close to the Han family in Jizhou City, and beheaded them all over the house, killing more than 2,000 people. And Geng Wu and Min Chun, the two adults, are now also in prison, just waiting for our soldiers to come to the city of Jizhou, they will be beheaded on the city tower. ”

Guo Jia finished reading the white silk in his hand, handed it to Xun Yu casually, looked at Han Zhan and asked, "Little Marquis, what are you going to do?" ”

"Geng Wu and Min Chun have been very kind to me, and now that something has happened to them, I can't sit idly by." When Han Zhan said this, he turned his head and instructed Zhao Yun: "Zilong, you immediately arrange competent manpower to rush to Jizhou in the starry night and try to rescue the two adults." ”

Zhao Yun hurriedly replied: "Obey!" Yun will send someone to infiltrate Jizhou as soon as possible to rescue the two adults. ”

Seeing Zhao Yun turn around and prepare to leave, Han Zhan stopped him again: "Zilong, General Zhang of the Black Mountain Army, once said that he would send troops to assist us, I don't know if there is any news about them?" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and replied, "Yun Xiang has sent probes everywhere, but so far, there has been no news that the Black Mountain Army has sent troops. ”

Without the assistance of the Montenegrin Army, attacking Jizhou with nearly 10,000 horses in his hands is a bit like hitting a stone with an egg. Han Zhan stood in silence for a long time, and then announced to everyone: "We will stay in Guangnian City for two more days, if there is still no news from the Black Mountain Army, regardless of whether Gongsun Chan sends troops or not, we must march to Jizhou." ”

Hearing Han Zhan say this, Guo Jia sighed softly and said helplessly: "So far, it can only be like this." ”

"Envoy, envoy!" At this moment, Xia Houlan's shout suddenly came from outside the hall. With the shout, Xia Houlan rushed into the lobby with a happy face, and without waiting for everyone to speak, he said to Han Zhan excitedly: "Congratulations to the envoy, congratulations to the envoy!" That's great news. ”

Han Zhan looked at Xiahou Lan and said in his heart that the good news he said, did he mean the matter of his own marquis? Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly heard Xiahou Lan continue: "Qi Qi envoy, the envoy sent by Hu envoy is outside the county office, and he has brought us good news. ”

Knowing that Hu Zhen's envoy was outside the county office, Han Zhan suddenly felt refreshed, and hurriedly said to Xiahou Lan: "Then why don't you hurry up and invite him in!" ”

After a while, Xia Houlan helped a pale man in civilian clothes into the lobby. Seeing Han Zhan standing behind the table, the man hurriedly broke free from Xiahou Lan's hand, knelt down and saluted Han Zhan: "The villain sees Han Envoy Jun!" ”

"Excuse me!" Han Zhan made a gesture of invitation to the other party, and then asked curiously: "I don't know if Hu Envoy Jun sent you here, is there anything important?" ”

With the support of Xiahoulan, the envoy stood up again and replied: "If you return to Han to envoy Jun, three days ago, my envoy Jun and Captain Du Chang sealed the order of General Zhang, commanded 50,000 troops, and rushed to Jizhou day and night. In four days at most, you will be able to reach Jizhou. ”

Hearing that Zhang Yan had sent troops, Han Zhan's heart, which was originally hanging in his throat, finally fell back into his stomach. He hurriedly instructed Xia Houlan: "The envoy has worked hard all the way, you quickly go and arrange a place for the envoy to stay, so that he can rest well!" ”

After Xiahou Lan helped the envoy to leave, Han Zhan said to Guo Jia and Xun You with a smile on his face: "Fengxiao, Gongda, since General Zhang has sent troops, let's talk about the next strategy." Zilong, you also stay and listen to it. ”

Zhao Yun took advantage of Guo Jia and Xun You's time to find Yutu, and asked Han Zhan in a low voice: "Second brother, I just heard Mr. Guo call you Little Marquis, what is going on?" ”

When Han Zhan heard Zhao Yun ask, he remembered that he didn't know about this matter, so he picked up the holy decree placed on the table, handed it to Zhao Yun, and whispered: "The eldest brother doesn't know, an angel just came to announce the decree, and the younger brother was named the Marquis of Zhangshui Pavilion." ”

After reading the content of the holy decree, Zhao Yun hurriedly congratulated Han Zhan: "When Brother Wei was patrolling the city just now, he saw a group of Yulin troops leaving the city, and he was still wondering what they were doing here, it turned out that they were sending the edict to the second brother. Congratulations to the second brother, congratulations to the second brother! At a young age, he will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future. ”

Guo Jia and Xun You found a map, put it on the table, and began to give advice to Han Zhan: "Little Marquis, we can send troops to Guangping tomorrow." If Taishou can obey the mandate of heaven and take the initiative to surrender, it will naturally be great. If he wants to hold the city, we can also take it by storming. Rest here for two days, and after the army of Hu Zhijun and Captain Du arrives, they will march to Jizhou. ”

"What about Gongsun Chan of Fuliu City?" Han Zhan waited for Guo Jia to finish speaking, pointed to the location of Fuliucheng with his finger, and asked: "If he keeps his troops moving, wouldn't Yuan Shao be able to lead the Jizhou army to meet the battle, then wouldn't we make wedding clothes for Gongsun Zhan?" ”

"Don't worry, little marquis." Guo Jia said with a smile, "I think Gongsun Chan must have arranged a detailed work in this city, as long as we send troops, within half a day, he will be able to get the news, and then he can take advantage of the emptiness of Jizhou to march towards the boundary bridge." For Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan is his confidant, as long as he hears that Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses are heading towards the boundary bridge, he will definitely send a member of the army to block us, but he himself returns to the military boundary bridge to meet Gongsun Zhan. ”

"What about Guangping?" Han Zhan waited for him to finish speaking, and then asked, "If Guangping is too strong to defend the city, aren't we in danger of being attacked by the enemy?" ”

"Please rest assured," Guo Jia said with a smile: "Jia has a plan, you can quickly take Guangping." Speaking of this, he turned to Zhao Yun who was standing aside, "Zilong, come over with your ears, and wait for Jia to tell you about Guangping's plan!" ”
