As soon as Han Zhan and Zhao Yun returned to the camp with the cavalry, they saw Xun Chen coming out of the tent and said anxiously: "Thank God, the two of you are finally back, and you are about to drive me crazy!" ”

Han Zhan hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and replied, "Uncle Lao is worried, didn't I come back safely." ”

When Zhang He heard the news, he also rushed over from the tent not far away, and anxiously asked Zhao Yun, who was standing beside Han Zhan: "Have all the yellow turban thieves in the village been cleared, and are there many casualties among our army?" ”

"Returning to the army Sima," Zhao Yun replied, "Of the 217 Yellow Turban thieves in the village, except for one of the leaders who escaped, the rest have been killed by our army. A certain led a hundred cavalry to attack, and when he came back, he still had a hundred cavalry, and he never injured a single person or a horseman. ”

When Zhang He heard that the yellow turban thieves in the village had been eliminated, he was first overjoyed; But when he heard Zhao Yun say that he had never injured a person or a horseman, he had doubts, and he felt in his heart that even if the cavalry was a nightmare for the infantry, it was impossible to destroy an enemy that was more than twice as large as himself, even if the other party was a rabble with no combat effectiveness. After he hurriedly counted the number of cavalry, he found that there were still a hundred people, and there were three more war horses.

After confirming that the cavalry brought out by Zhao Yun was unharmed, Zhang He couldn't help but look at the hundred generals under his command with admiration, knowing that even if he personally led the team to attack, it would be very difficult to achieve such a result. He was even thinking in his heart that if Yuan Gong became the ruler of Jizhou and could entrust him with important tasks, then he must promote this young hundred generals well.

Han Zhan beckoned to the ice room, led the three captured war horses, pointed to the package placed on the horseback, and said to Xun Chen and Zhang He: "These are the beef and mutton, goods and wine that the villagers have given us in order to thank us for eliminating the Yellow Turban Thieves. ”

When Zhao Yun and his subordinates left, Han Zhan and Xun Chen returned to the tent together, and he told the two about Yuan Bing's pretending to be a yellow turban thief and sacking the village.

Zhang He is jealous and hateful character, after listening to Han Zhan's words, he snorted heavily, and then slammed his fist on the several cases in front of him, his voice trembling uncontrollably because of anger, "Where are these officers and soldiers?" It's clearly a bandit! It's really a shame for Yuan Cheqi. If it is not dealt with in time, once Yuan Che rides into Jizhou, then the people will have to suffer even more. ”

Xun Chen was much calmer, and after Zhang He finished complaining, he cautiously asked, "Zhan'er, how did you deal with those Yuan soldiers who were captured alive?" ”

"What else can I do?" Han Zhan said with a clear attitude: "I handed them all over to the villagers to dispose of, and it is estimated that they are all dead now." He was afraid that Xun Chen would interrupt him, so he quickened his voice and said, "Such black sheep can't be kept, otherwise after they become the masters of Jizhou, more Li people will suffer." ”

"Zhan'er, you're right." Xun Chen said thoughtfully: "But this matter should not be publicized, to the outside world, we will say that we have exterminated a group of yellow turban thieves who ransacked the village, anyway, there is no proof of death, and no one can take us seriously." Do you understand? ”

"Understood." Han Zhan and Zhang He nodded and replied in unison.

……

……

Early the next morning, the convoy set off again.

Han Zhan rode on the captured war horse and walked side by side with Zhao Yun. With the experience of fighting side by side last night, Zhao Yun's attitude towards Han Zhan was much closer. He looked left and right, and saw that the other cavalry were some distance away from him, so he asked in a low voice: "Childe, there is something unclear and I want to ask Childe for advice." ”

Han Zhan stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Zilong, it's okay to say it. ”

"As far as I know, our strength is not weaker than Yuan Cheqi, and it can even be said that it is far superior to him." Zhao Yun asked with a puzzled expression, "Why did you give Jizhou to him?" ”

"Zilong, although Jizhou Wu has Pan Feng, Lu Yi, and Zhang He, and Wen has Xun Chen, Xin Ping, and Guo Tu." Han Zhan saw that Zhao Yun was puzzled by Han Fu's affairs in Jizhou, so he explained to him: "Pan Feng died in battle against Dong Zhuo, and Lu Yi betrayed the prince of the palace not long ago, leaving only General Zhang He alone. As for the civil officials, the people I just mentioned have long been in the same bed with the prince; The most capable frustration, although he tried his best to oppose Yuan Benchu to enter Jizhou, it was difficult to support it alone, and he couldn't change the current situation. ”

After Zhao Yun heard this, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and then asked: "Childe, if Yuan Che rides into Jizhou, what are you going to do?" ”

Han Zhan shook his head and said, "I don't know, everything will be as it is." As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly thought that Zhao Yun had not been under Yuan Shao's hands for a long time, so he ran to Gongsun Zhan, so he gave him a vaccination in advance, "Zilong, although Yuan Benchu did not have the heart of loyalty to the monarch and love the people, he was not a master; If you don't want to work for the Yuan family, you can't go to Gongsun Zan in the north, he and Yuan Shao are both raccoon dogs. ”

Although Zhao Yun didn't quite agree with Han Zhan's statement in his heart, on the surface, he still said politely: "Thank you, son, Zilong has been taught." ”

At this moment, a scout horse suddenly ran over and reported to Zhao Yunyu: "I found a military horse in front, looking at the flag, it seems to be Yuan Cheqi's subordinate." ”

Yuan Cheqi's subordinates? Hearing Tanma say this, Han Zhan and Zhao Yun were both taken aback, because according to the information they had, Yuan Shao's camp was at least eighty miles away from here. A team of Yuan soldiers and horses suddenly appeared here, could it be for the sake of last night's incident to seek revenge?

And Zhang He, who had been accompanying Xun Chen's carriage, saw the return of the scout horse he had sent, and hurriedly drove forward, and asked loudly from afar: "Tanma, what is the military report?" ”

Tanma came to Zhang He, turned over and got off the horse and knelt on one knee, repeating the news he had just reported to Zhao Yun. After Zhang He heard this, he also thought of it with Han Zhan, thinking that Yuan Jun had sent someone to retaliate, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He was about to discuss with Xun Chen what to do, but he saw that Han Zhan and Zhao Yun had already ridden away from the team side by side and galloped forward. He hurriedly instructed Chief Rosh beside him: "Hurry up and bring someone to protect Gongzi, don't let him have any accidents, otherwise you will come to see him." ”

"Whoa!" Luo Shi replied loudly, beckoned Bensh's ten cavalry, and sped up to catch up with Han Zhan and Zhao Yun in front.

The reason why Han Zhan and Zhao Yun broke away from the brigade and went to the place where Yuan's army haunted was mainly because Han Zhan considered that it was a blessing or a curse and that he couldn't avoid it, even if he was lucky enough to escape Yuan's army who came to seek revenge, he would still enter Yuan's camp sooner or later, and then he would become a self-defeating snare. Rather than that, let's see what is going on and come up with a response.

Zhao Yunshen was afraid that Han Zhan would be too nervous, and he had no intention of saying anything on the way to distract him: "Childe, yesterday you rode on a horse like a beginner, and you felt like you would fall off the horse at any time; Today, you feel like an experienced rider, and you have a lot of talent for horseback riding. ”

Han Zhan didn't know why he rode so smoothly today, and it was also the remaining skill of the original owner of this body that was fused by himself.

Suddenly, I heard someone behind me shouting: "Childe, slow down!" Wait a minute. ”

Han Zhan turned his head to see that it was Chief Rosh who followed with a dozen or so cavalrymen, and hurriedly slowed down his horsemanship. Chief Luo Shi came to the two of them and bowed, "A certain person came to protect Gongzi on the order of the military Sima." ”

When the group galloped five or six miles, they saw a group of men and horses on the road ahead, about five or six hundred men, all of whom were cavalry. Seeing this scene, Han Zhan couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, there were only a dozen of them, if he fought with the other party, he would definitely suffer a big loss, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't escape.

Have the heart to turn around and go back, your own group has long been seen by the other party, and the other party's more than a dozen flags are coming in your direction. Seeing that there was no way back now, Han Zhan raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and stood where he was waiting for the other party to come over.

When the two sides were still separated by more than a dozen paces, the opponent's horse team stopped, and a general came out from behind the banner, arched his hand from a distance, and asked in a loud voice: "Is it Han Fujun's team coming ahead?" ”

Seeing that the other party didn't want to use force, Han Zhanxin said that he had made a mistake in his judgment? In order to find out what was going on, he urged him to step forward and replied in the same voice: "Down is Han Zhan, the son of Han Fujun in Jizhou, I don't know which general under Yuan Cheqi is opposite?" ”

"It turned out to be Han Fujun's son," the tall and handsome-looking general opposite, arched his hand again towards Han Zhan, and said politely: "The next surname is Yuan Mingtan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Yi Township, and he is on the order of his father, so I am here to welcome Han Gongzi and his party." ”
