Han Zhan was left and right in the middle of the council room, and the civil and military officials were on the left and right.

Zhao Yun stood up first and reported the results of the night to Han Zhan. After hearing this, Han Zhan nodded again and again, with a satisfied smile on his face, because from this moment on, Yecheng was his own. I knew that I could take Yecheng so easily, and I was still tossing around blindly, and I was ready to return the captive Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, and I was ready to ask the court to play Yuan Shao as the pastor of Yanzhou. Now that Yuan Shao has fled, Yecheng is like a ripe apple, falling into his hands.

After Zhao Yun's report was completed, it was Xun You who came out to report on the list of Anmin and the acceptance of the treasury. Knowing that the money and food in the city could actually support an army of 80,000 for a year, Han Zhan couldn't help but be overjoyed.

After the report was completed, Huang Zhong stood up from the queue and said angrily: "Lord, there is something unclear in the end, please ask the lord for advice." ”

Although Huang Zhong hadn't explained what was going on, Han Zhan already knew it, and he asked with a smile, "Han Sheng, are you trying to ask, why did Ben Hou let go of Wen Chou, who was so hard to catch?" ”

"That's right!" Huang Zhong replied angrily.

Han Zhan smiled faintly, and then said in shock: "Han Sheng is not there, Ben Hou doesn't care about letting go of Wen Chou, but also letting go of Yuan Benchu. ”

"What, the lord let go of Yuan Benchu?" After hearing the news, except for a few people who knew the inside story, such as Guo Jia, Xun You, Fu Zhu, and Meng Dai, the rest of the civil and military forces were so shocked that their jaws almost hit the ground.

Huang Zhong asked puzzledly: "Lord, since you can capture Yuan Shao, why do you want to let him go, isn't this endless trouble after the tiger returns to the mountain?" ”

"The living Yuan Benchu is far better than a dead villager." Han Zhan only smiled faintly at Huang Zhong's questioning, and then said, "Over time, Han Sheng will naturally understand Ben Hou's hard work. ”

After the discussion, all the civil and military forces dispersed, and only Guo Jia and Zhao Yun remained. Guo Jia originally had something to say to Han Zhan in private, but when he saw that Zhao Yun was sitting in his position and didn't move, he asked curiously: "General Zilong, do you have something to do with the lord?" ”

"A little bit of a personal matter." Zhao Yun replied a little embarrassed: "If there is something to do with filial piety, please discuss with the lord first, it doesn't matter if Yun waits here for a while." ”

Guo Jia understood Zhao Yun's character and knew that he had nothing important to do and would never stay, so he explained to Han Zhan what he wanted to discuss in a few words, and then got up and said goodbye.

Seeing that there were only himself and Zhao Yun in the council hall, Han Zhan got up and walked over, and asked with a smile, "Big brother must be staying today, there must be something important, right?" ”

"Second brother...... No, my lord! Zhao Yun first habitually called Han Zhan's second brother, but then felt that something was wrong, and quickly changed his name: "Two days ago, the last general was ordered to lead his troops to camp outside the east gate, and someone in the city came out to see the last general. ”

"Big brother, you and I are righteous brothers, so you don't need to be so polite." Han Zhan turned around and walked back to his place and sat down, and then asked, "I don't know what the people from the city talked about with the eldest brother?" When he said this, he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart: The four gates of Yecheng were closed, and even Zhao and Feng Li couldn't get out of the city, and how could someone go out of the city at the east gate? Could it be that Yuan Shao had sent someone to persuade Zhao Yun to surrender?

Zhao Yun couldn't guess what Han Zhan was thinking in his heart, but reported truthfully: "The person who came is his cousin Zhen Yan." ”

Hearing the name Zhen Yan, Han Zhan immediately remembered the famous beauty Zhen Yan of the Three Kingdoms, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder what Zhen Yan's cousin said?" ”

Zhao Yun heard Han Zhan call Zhen Yan his cousin, he was stunned at first, and then he was relieved, he and Han Zhan are sworn brothers, he is younger than his cousin Zhen Yan, and there is nothing wrong with calling each other cousins. Then he continued: "He said that my aunt knew that the lord led the Jizhou soldiers and horses to surround Yecheng, and Yuan Xi's whereabouts were unknown, so she didn't want her cousin Zhen Mi to be a widow, and planned to marry her cousin to the lord. ”

Knowing that Mrs. Zhen planned to marry Zhen Mi Xu to herself, Han Zhan felt that he had been hit by a stack of pies falling from the sky, which made him a little dizzy. He thought to himself: Could this be true? Don't be my mistake, right? Thinking so, he twisted his leg vigorously, and the pain that instantly reached the cranial nerves made him understand that he was not dreaming, and what he heard was true.

Han Zhan originally wanted to agree to this matter in one bite, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he felt that he was a little too anxious to do so, and he might scare Mrs. Zhen, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Big brother, did Mrs. Zhen really promise to marry Mi'er to me?" ”

"That's right," Zhao Yun nodded and said, "My cousin is still in the year of the general horn, even if he is married, he will have to wait five or six years before he can marry into the Han family." ”

The five-year or six-year period that Zhao Yun said reminded Han Zhan that he seemed to be still in the period of Dai Xiao, and it would take three years before he could talk about marriage. Therefore, he nodded slowly and said to Zhao Yun: "Since Mrs. Zhen has a good intention, Ben Hou will not refuse." In this way, eldest brother, you will go to Zhen's Mansion on behalf of Ben Hou to see when Mrs. Zhen is free, and Ben Hou will visit in person. ”

As soon as Zhao Yun left the conference hall, Han Zhan hurriedly returned to the back hall. As soon as he entered the back hall, he shouted loudly: "Rob, Rob~!" ”

As soon as he shouted, a guard standing in the courtyard said to him respectfully: "Lord Qiqi, Luo Junhou is still recuperating from his injuries in Guantao at the moment, and he has never come to Yecheng. ”

After being reminded by the guards, Han Zhan suddenly remembered that Luo Bu, who had just been promoted to military marquis by himself, was still lying in the guard's mansion in Guantao at the moment, being taken care of by the eighth aunt who was kind to him. Han Zhan thought to himself, it's a pity that the eighth aunt is not here, otherwise he can ask her for advice, and when he visits Zhen's mansion, he should bring some gifts to the door.

Half an hour later, Zhao Yun came again to ask for a meeting.

Hearing that Zhao Yun was coming, Han Zhan hurriedly came out of the house. After a few polite words, he invited Zhao Yun into the house. After the two of them sat down and the people served tea, Han Zhan couldn't wait to ask: "Big brother, I don't know if you go to Zhen's mansion, what does Mrs. Zhen say?" ”

"Second brother," on this private occasion, Zhao Yun didn't call Han Zhan the lord anymore, but he spoke a little slurred: "I just went to the Zhen Mansion to visit my aunt......

Seeing Zhao Yun's appearance, Han Zhan's heart couldn't help but chuckle, and secretly said that it wouldn't be a good thing, and Mrs. Zhen would change her hexagram again, right? hurriedly asked: "Big brother, if there is anything but it doesn't matter, the younger brother has already been mentally prepared." ”

"That's right," Zhao Yun said with some embarrassment: "When my aunt sent Zhen Yan out of the city to see me, it was because the soldiers and horses of Jizhou besieged Yecheng, and she was worried that after the army entered the city, there would be chaotic soldiers harassing the people, so she temporarily decided to marry her cousin Zhen Mi Xu to the second brother." But now that our army has entered the city, and Qiu has not committed any crimes, she can't help but change her mind a little again......"

"Changed your mind?!" When Han Zhan heard this, he was a little dumbfounded, and when he saw that the cooked duck that was about to be brought to him actually grew wings and flew: "Could it be that Mrs. Zhen regrets her marriage." ”

"This, this," Zhao Yun's face turned red and said, "My aunt didn't say that she regretted her marriage, but she said that if a daughter doesn't marry a second husband, if she wants to marry Zhen Mi's cousin to her second brother, she must first divorce the Yuan family." ”

"Yuan Shao doesn't know where to go, where can I go to find the Yuan family to get out of marriage." Han Zhan was halfway through speaking, and suddenly remembered that the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were still locked up in the prison in Jizhou City, and immediately said with confidence: "Then Benhou will immediately send someone to escort the Yuan family brothers here and let them write a divorce document, so that I can go to Zhen's mansion to propose marriage." ”

"The living Yuan Benchu is far better than a dead villager." Han Zhan only smiled faintly at Huang Zhong's questioning, and then said, "Over time, Han Sheng will naturally understand Ben Hou's hard work. ”

After the discussion, all the civil and military forces dispersed, and only Guo Jia and Zhao Yun remained.
