After Han Zhan occupied Guangping City, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, he ordered Xun Yu to issue a notice to calm the people.

As soon as he and Guo Jia returned to the Taishou Mansion, Dian Wei, who had a bitter face, came in from outside. He came to Han Zhan and knelt down on one knee, and took the initiative to plead guilty: "Master Hou, I have missed your big matter, please punish me!" ”

Dian Wei's actions startled Han Zhan, he hurriedly walked out from behind the table, stepped forward to help Dian Wei, and asked with some surprise: "Dian Wei, what's wrong with you, please get up quickly." ”

When Dian Wei got up, he glanced at Guo Jia, who was standing next to him, and said with a red face: "Guo Xiansheng and I took two hundred brothers into Guangping City, and agreed to seize the south gate after dark and lead the army into the city. However, because the city was heavily guarded, I did not seize the city gate as agreed,......"

Han Zhan didn't wait for Dian Wei to finish speaking, he raised his hand to interrupt his later words: "Chun Yuqiong has been in battle for a long time, and he is not incompetent, in order to prevent people in the city from making trouble, it is understandable to strengthen the guard. You don't have to blame yourself too much. ”

Guo Jia waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, and then said to Dian Wei with a smile: "Dian Junhou, when you left at that time, I told you to let you act cheaply according to the situation in the city. When you saw that the situation was not good for our army, you did not act rashly, and it was absolutely correct to do so. ”

Hearing Guo Jia's praise for himself, Dian Wei's face finally showed a smile again.

Guo Jia turned his head to look at Han Zhan and asked, "Little Marquis, in the first battle of Guangping, we captured a lot of prisoners, I don't know what to do with them?" ”

"Yuan Shao's soldiers are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles." In the First Battle of Guangping, a total of 4,000 Yuan troops were captured, and most of these people were elite soldiers in a hundred battles. Therefore, when he heard Guo Jia's question, Han Zhan replied without hesitation: "Integrate them all into our army, so that the overall combat strength can be improved." ”

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, he saw Guo Jia looking at him blankly. Han Zhan asked a little embarrassedly, "Fengxiao, did I say something wrong?" ”

Guo Jia said with some tears and laughter: "Little Hou Ye, what I asked is what to do with the captured Yuan Tan, Chun Yuqiong, Chen Zhen and others?" ”

It turned out that Guo Jia was asking about the captured civil and military under Yuan Shao, and Han Zhan knew that he had made a mistake. His face flushed for a moment, and then he said: "Put Yuan Tan, Chun Yuqiong, Wei Yuanjin, Lu Weihuang, Zhao Rui and others in prison, let the jailers serve them well, treat their injuries and see a doctor when they are sick, and they must not be allowed to die." ”

"What about Chen Zhen?" Guo Jia then asked.

Chen Zhen?! After Han Zhan repeated the name in his heart, he suddenly remembered his resume. This person's surname is Chen Mingzhen, the word filial piety, is a native of Nanyang County, Jingzhou, followed Yuan Shao in his early years, and later voted for Liu Bei. When Liu Bei was leading the Jingzhou pastor, he was engaged in; Later, he followed Liu Bei into Sichuan, and successively served as the governor of the northern part of Shu County, the Taishou of Wenshan, and the Taishou of Qianwei. After Liu Chan ascended the throne, he successively served as Shangshu, Shangshuling, and Weiwei.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said to Guo Jia: "Hurry up and invite Mr. Chen Xiaoqi in!" ”

Guo Jia couldn't help but be stunned for a moment about Han Zhan's title, but he still ordered someone to take Chen Zhen out of prison.

Seeing Chen Zhen, who was tied up with five flowers, he walked into the lobby under the escort of two soldiers. Han Zhan turned his face and said to the two soldiers: "Bastard, I asked you to invite Chen Taishou here, how can you be so rude to him and not quickly untie him?" ”

After the two soldiers untied Chen Zhen, Han Zhan waved his hand and sent the two out. Then he bypassed the table, stepped forward to salute Chen Zhen, and said politely: "Chen Taishou has been wronged!" ”

Chen Zhen glanced at Han Zhan, snorted heavily, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the roof of the hall, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to be so hypocritical, since Chen has fallen into your hands, you don't want to leave alive." If you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, Chen will never frown. ”

Han Zhan knew that Chen Zhen was an internal affairs talent and had the intention to take him under his command, so he was not only not annoyed by his rude behavior, but said with a smile: "What did Chen Taishou say, if Ben Hou wanted to kill you, he would have killed you a long time ago, so why wait until now?" ”

"Ben Hou?!" After Chen Zhen heard Han Zhan's self-title, he couldn't help but look at him, and asked puzzledly: "You are just a small county magistrate involved in the country, what qualifications do you have to call yourself Benhou?" ”

"Chen Taishou doesn't know," Han Zhan said with some pride: "A few days ago, the current saint issued a decree and named me the Marquis of Zhangshui Pavilion, so I called myself 'Ben Hou'. ”

Chen Zhen knew that the Marquis of Zhangshui Pavilion was the lowest rank in the title, but no matter what, the other party was no longer an ordinary county order, but a marquis. So Chen Zhen bowed and saluted: "Nanyang Chen Zhen see the little marquis!" ”

"Excuse me, excuse me!" Han Zhan saw Chen Zhen saluting him, and hurriedly beckoned the other party to sit down: "Sit down and talk." ”

After Chen Zhen sat down, Han Zhan asked tentatively: "Mr. Xiaoqi, Ben Hou intends to appoint you as the Taishou of Guangping, I wonder if you are willing to help Ben Hou?" After speaking, he stared at Chen Zhen intently, waiting for his reply.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Zhen got up and saluted Han Zhan again, and said apologetically: "Thank you for the kindness of the little marquis, but Chen has planned to resign and go into hiding, and will no longer ask about the world, and I hope the little marquis will understand." ”

Han Zhan thought that with his sincerity, Chen Zhen would definitely agree to come down with the water, but he didn't expect to refuse so simply. After the muscles on his face twitched violently a few times, he pretended to be generous and said, "Since Mr. plans to go into hiding, Ben Hou is not reluctant. Someone! ”

With a shout, a soldier standing guard outside the hall walked in. Han Zhan instructed him: "Immediately prepare a good horse for Mr. Chen, as well as the dry food he needs along the way." ”

Not long after, the soldier led a horse to the outside of the hall, Han Zhan smiled and said to Chen Zhen: "Mr. Chen, Benhou has nothing to give, so I will give you this horse as a foot force, I wish you to return to your hometown as soon as possible!" ”

Just as Chen Zhen thanked Han Zhan and was about to say goodbye and leave, Han Zhan took out a heavy wooden box as if magical, handed it to Chen Zhen, and said to him with a smile: "It's a small meaning, it's not a tribute, please accept it Mr. Chen." ”

Chen Zhen glanced at the wooden box, and a surprised expression appeared on his face, but he still accepted Han Zhan's gift calmly. He put the wooden box into the pouch on the saddle, then turned over on the horse, arched his hand at Han Zhan on the horse's back, and said, "Thank you, little marquis, farewell!" ”

After Chen Zhen left, Dian Wei asked Han Zhan curiously, "Envoy, what did you put in the wooden box for Mr. Chen?" ”

Han Zhan smiled and replied: "It's just a box of gold cakes, when I just came in, I saw it behind the table, it is estimated that it was originally Mr. Chen's things, I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and the things were returned to the original owner." ”
