After Luo Bu bowed down to Han Zhan, he reported and said: "Lord Qi, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang are asking to see me outside the mansion, and the military advisor asked me to ask the lord to return to the house quickly." ”

"The three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang want to see me?" After listening to Rob's report, Han Zhan's heart couldn't help but feel very surprised, what would these three people do to find themselves? hurriedly ordered: "Prepare the car quickly and go home!" ”

Xun Yu, Fu Zhu and others who came out of the hall couldn't help but look at each other when they saw Han Zhan leaving in a hurry with Luo Bu. After a long while, Xun Yu opened his mouth and asked: "Gong He, the lord left in a hurry, could it be that something big happened that couldn't happen?" ”

Fu Zhi muttered in his heart for a long time, feeling that even if something happened, it was outside his authority, he shook his head and replied with a wry smile: "If you go back to Changshi, Xia Guan doesn't know what's going on. After finishing speaking, seeing Xun Yu's puzzled face, he didn't seem to believe his words, and hurriedly added, "If Changshi doesn't believe it, Xia Guan is willing to go to the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion with Changshi to check." ”

Xun Yu really didn't believe that he didn't know what was going on, and when he saw that the other party offered to go to the State Pastor's Mansion to check, he nodded and agreed: "That's very good, let's rush to the State Pastor's Mansion to see what happened." ”

When Han Zhan's carriage approached the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, he went out to check and saw that there were three people standing at the gate of the mansion, and it was Liu Guanzhang and the others. When the carriage came to the gate of the mansion and stopped, Han Zhan lifted the curtain and asked, "The three of you are here, but is there something to find Han?" ”

"I've seen Anyang Hou!" When Liu Guanzhang and the others saw Han Zhan appear, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute him.

Han Zhan was helped out of the carriage by Luo Bu, and said to the three of them: "This is not the place to speak, you and the others will follow Ben Hou into the mansion to talk." ”

After coming to the main hall and sitting down, Han Zhan looked at Liu Guanzhang and the three of them standing in front of him, and asked, "The three brothers are reunited after a long absence, and they don't stay in the mansion to reminisce about the past, what are you doing here here?" ”

"Back to Anyang Hou," Hearing Han Zhan's question, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully: "If you want to go home for a long time and go home to worship your ancestors, please let Anyang Hou go." ”

Hearing Liu Bei's reason, Han Zhan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he thought that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Liu Bei wanted to escape back to Jingzhou after marrying in Eastern Wu, he used this reason in front of Wu Guotai. At this moment, there is still more than half a year before the day of ancestor worship, Liu Bei said this, it is nothing more than wanting to escape from Yedu.

Although he had seen through Liu Bei's Xiao Jiujiu, Han Zhan still asked without moving: "Liu Yuanjun, I don't know how many people you plan to take to worship your ancestors?" ”

"Just prepare the three brothers." Liu Bei continued to plead: "Please also ask the Marquis of Anyang if you can be accommodating." ”

Han Zhan waited for Liu Bei to finish speaking, and did not immediately express his opinion, but shouted outside: "Someone! ”

When Liu Bei heard Han Zhan's shout, he couldn't help but tremble, he thought that the other party was preparing to ask someone to take him down, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Watching Rob strut into the lobby, he even had the idea of running away.

"Lord!" Rob came to Han Zhan's face, bowed down and asked, "I don't know what to order?" ”

"The three Liu Xuande brothers want to leave Jingshi," Han Zhan said to Luo Bu, "Go inside and take out a plate of gold and use it as their coil." ”

Knowing that Han Zhan asked Luo Bu to enter, not to take down himself, but to prepare the passage for himself, Liu Bei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In order to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Thank you for the kindness of Anyang Hou, there is no need to entangle." After so many years, the three of my brothers still have some savings, which are enough for the road. ”

Seeing that Liu Bei was about to refuse his kindness, Han Zhan waved his hand at him and said: "This expedition to Qingzhou, Yun Chang and Yide have made a lot of great contributions, especially in case of small pay, why bother to resign?" ”

Guan Yu, who was standing on the side, heard Han Zhan mention himself and Zhang Fei, and hurriedly took a step forward and said humbly: "Anyang Hou, just a little work, why worry about it." ”

"Yun Chang doesn't have to shirk, this is what you and Yide deserve." Han Zhan Zhengse said: "You three brothers are going to walk so far, there must be a lot of use along the way, and it is good to bring more entanglements." ”

As he was talking, Rob had already walked out of the back hall holding a plate of gold, and Han Zhan pointed at Liu Bei with his hand, signaling him to hand over the gold to Liu Bei. After Liu Bei took the gold with both hands, he thanked Han Zhan: "Thank you for the reward from the Marquis of Anyang." ”

Han Zhan comforted Liu Guan and Zhang a few more words, and then sent them away.

Not long after the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang left, Xun Yu and Fu Zhu hurried over. Knowing that Han Zhan had agreed to Liu Bei and them leaving Yecheng, he remembered to stomp his feet and said in a loud voice: "Lord, if you let Liu Bei leave Yecheng, it will be tantamount to returning to the mountain, and sooner or later it will become a big disaster." ”

Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei, for Han Zhan, they would not be able to pose a threat to themselves. If you want to gain a foothold in the troubled times, it is far from enough to have military generals, and you also need the assistance of civilian officials. Liu Bei's most powerful civil officials, Sun Qian and Jian Yong, are now staying in Yedu and will not follow him away at all. After Liu Bei left Yecheng, it was not easy to re-recruit civil officials, because in order to cultivate a qualified civil official in this era, in addition to studying and making friends, he also needed to become famous through various reviews, not to mention various resources provided by famous families.

And Liu Bei and the others are like rootless duckweed at the moment, with no soldiers and no power in their hands, what civilian officials who are eager to prove their abilities in the troubled times will follow them desperately? It was based on this consideration that Han Zhan said disapplaudedly: "Liu Guanzhang is only three people, even if he is brave, can he still beat the former Chu overlord?" The overlord of Chu still kills himself in Wujiang, if Liu Bei wants to continue to fight against Benhou, I am afraid that the end will be more miserable by the overlord of Chu. ”

According to Fu Zhu's thoughts, since Liu Guanzhang and the others could not be used by Han Zhan, it was better to kill them as soon as possible, so as not to become a big trouble in the future. At this moment, seeing Han Zhan's appearance of being a bamboo in his chest, he couldn't help but feel lost. He laughed dryly twice, and was about to retreat to the side, but heard Han Zhan say: "Gonghe, although Benhou agrees with Liu Xuande and the others to leave Yecheng, you still have to grasp their whereabouts as soon as possible." If possible, send more people to monitor him, so that if he has any inappropriate actions, Ben Hou can also prepare earlier. ”

After giving the order, Han Zhan looked at Xun Yu and said, "Changshi, the supply of grain and grass for Taishi Ci's army must not make any mistakes, otherwise it will cause instability in the army's heart." ”

"Please rest assured," Although Xun Yu was Han Zhan's elder, he still showed enough respect for Han Zhan. He replied respectfully: "My subordinates have ordered someone to send ten days' worth of military rations to General Taishi's camp, presumably at this moment the grain and grass have been put into storage. ”
