The things in the world are really coincidental, if it weren't for Han Zhan secretly sending someone to bring Xu's mother in order to win over Xu Shu; If it weren't for the repetition of Xu Shu's mother and son, Pear Blossom went in to deliver something, and coincidentally saw the jade pendant that Xu Shu took out, it is estimated that this bloody scene would not have appeared.

"Tinghou!" Xu Shu saluted Han Zhan again, and said gratefully: "Tinghou's kindness to the Xu family is unforgettable, if he sends anything in the future......

Before Xu Shu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu's mother. She glared at Xu Shu fiercely, and said unhappily: "Fu'er, as a man, you have to know how to repay Entu, Tinghou has such a great kindness to our Xu family, shouldn't you repay it?" ”

Xu's mother's words confused Xu Shu, he looked at his mother, and asked puzzledly: "Mother, the child doesn't understand what you mean?" ”

Xu Mu pointed at him with her hand, and said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "Fu'er, you are now a subordinate of Tinghou, but the old man hears that you keep calling Tinghou, not the lord, do you still plan to leave Tinghou sooner or later?" ”

Although Xu Shu has been Han Zhan's subordinate for a long time, he has always called Han Zhan Tinghou, and has never called the lord, because he still has to observe to see if Han Zhan is the lord worthy of his service. Hearing Mother Xu say this at this moment, he couldn't help but hesitate, not knowing whether to obey his mother's orders, or observe Han Zhan for a while before making a final decision.

Han Zhan noticed this strange atmosphere in the room, he was not a fool, and hurriedly said to Mother Xu: "Old lady, whether Yuan Zhi is willing to serve Ben Hou or not depends entirely on him, Ben Hou is definitely not strong. ”

"Did you hear it all?" Mother Xu turned to Xu Fu again and said, "Tinghou is unwilling to force you to make a choice, such a reasonable lord, where do you go to find it?" ”

Xu Shu is a filial piety, and when he saw that Xu's mother repeatedly mentioned the change of title, he didn't want his mother to be disappointed. He bowed to Han Zhan and said respectfully: "See the lord!" ”

Don't look at this as just a change in title, but it means that Xu Shu is willing to serve himself as the master, as long as he doesn't do anything angry and resentful, he will definitely not leave him. Han Zhan hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Shu up, and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi is exempt!" ”

Han Zhan turned his head and said to Mother Xu: "Old lady, Benhou wants to send someone to Yingchuan to take your second son Xu Kang to Jizhou and reunite with the Pear Flower father and daughter, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

Although Rika has been separated from her father since she was a child, the relationship between father and daughter is not too deep. But at this moment, when she heard Han Zhan offer to send someone to Yingchuan to pick up her father, her tears couldn't help but flow down her cheeks again. Mother Xu took her in her arms and said lovingly: "My poor child, wait a while, and you can be reunited with father and daughter." Kang'er has been sick for more than ten years, and maybe she will be cured when she sees you. ”

When Mother Xu talked about curing diseases, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and said in his heart: Since he came to this dynasty, he has seen Hua Tuo, and Zhang Zhongjing and Dong Feng, the two miracle doctors in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, have never seen them. It is said that Zhang Zhongjing is in Chang'an at the moment, and it seems that he needs to immediately send someone to send a letter to Fu Zhi, asking him to invite Zhang Zhongjing to come to Jizhou.

Han Zhan chatted with Xu's mother for a few more words, and then said goodbye and left. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the room, Xu Shu also walked out: "Lord, please stay!" ”

Han Zhan stopped and asked, "Yuan Zhi, what's the matter?" ”

"Lord!" Xu Shu walked in front of him and stopped, and said to him: "Regarding the matter of assigning Yongye Tian to the soldiers, my subordinates want to talk about their own opinions. ”

Assigning Yongye Tian to the soldiers was just a whim of Han Zhan, but he didn't have any idea in his heart about what to do, so after throwing it to Xu Shu and Shi Tao, he basically didn't ask. Hearing that Xu Shu had a different opinion at this moment, he hurriedly said, "Yuan Zhi, please speak!" ”

"There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhou today." Xu Shu said carefully: "Even if each person is only allocated ten acres of land, it will take one million acres." The subordinates were worried that there would not be so much land to allocate. ”

"Yuan Zhi don't worry," Han Zhan waved his hand and said disappreciatively: "The land in Jizhou is not enough, then we will go to Qingzhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou, anyway, sooner or later, Benhou will take the land of the four states into his own hands." When he said this, he suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly asked, "Ben Hou remembers that there are only more than 80,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhou, when did they become 100,000 people?" ”

Hearing Han Zhan's question, Xu Shu smiled bitterly and replied: "Back to the lord's words, since the introduction of the decree on the allocation of Yongye Tian to soldiers, the enthusiasm of the people of the entire Jizhou to join the army has been unprecedentedly high, and the number of people in this city alone has exceeded 10,000. ”

Knowing that in Jizhou City alone, 10,000 people took the initiative to join the army, Han Zhan was also taken aback. He thought that even if he introduced a policy of allocating land, in the short term, the number of people willing to join the army would not be too large. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the love of the people for the land in this era.

Just when he felt a headache, Xu Shu spoke again: "Lord, you haven't been to the barracks for months. If you have free tomorrow, please go to the barracks, and the soldiers are looking forward to your visit. ”

After Xu Shu's reminder, Han Zhan couldn't help but blush, thinking that since he had a skin-to-skin relationship with Cai Yan, he had basically never left the State Pastoral Mansion except for sending food to Cao Cao. Although none of his subordinates said anything, it is estimated that many people treat him as a faint king in their hearts. He nodded hurriedly and said to Xu Shu: "Okay, tomorrow the Japanese Marquis will personally inspect the barracks." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Han Zhan deliberately got up early in the morning, washed up, and didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he took Rob and a team of cavalry and headed towards the barracks.

When he came to the gate of the barracks, Han Zhan was stopped by the soldiers guarding the door, and Du Bo, who led the team, politely said to Han Zhan: "Please wait here, and the little one will report to General Zhao immediately!" ”

Rob, who was following behind, asked angrily at Dubo, "Since you know that it is the lord, why are you still blocking our way?" ”

Han Zhan hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt Luo Bu's words and said to him, "Du Bo is doing the right thing, he is doing his duty. After speaking, he waved his hand at the other party and ordered: "Hurry up and report to General Zhao!" ”

Not long after, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Huang Zhong and others came to the camp gate in a panic, and saluted Han Zhan in unison: "The last general will see the lord!" ”

Han Zhan was welcomed into the conference hall by everyone, he sat down in the middle with a big grin, and said to everyone with some embarrassment: "Everyone, Ben Hou has been entangled in mundane affairs recently, and he has no time to come to the army to inspect, and the affairs in the army have made you bothered." ”

As soon as Han Zhan's words were finished, Zhao Yun stood up and said respectfully: "Where the lord says, training soldiers and horses is a matter of his subordinates, and where can he talk about hard work." ”

After Zhao Yun reported to Han Zhan on military affairs for a while, he suddenly said, "The lord rushed to the military camp like this, presumably he hasn't eaten breakfast yet." It just so happened that a cook came to the army a few days ago, and the lord might as well try his craft. After seeing Han Zhan nodding his head in approval, he immediately shouted outside, "Bring in the mutton soup and pastry!" ”

Hearing Zhao Yun shouting mutton soup and pastries, Han Zhan couldn't help but be stunned, he instinctively associated these two things with Zigu. Taking advantage of the fact that the sheep's head soup had not yet been served, he hurriedly asked Zhao Yun: "Zilong, I don't know where this cook is from?" ”

Although Zhao Yun didn't know the purpose of Han Zhan's question, he still answered truthfully: "He is a local, working as a cook in a mutton soup restaurant, and he heard that the government was going to recruit soldiers, so he came to sign up. The recruiting military Sima knew that he had good cooking skills, so he arranged him in the room. ”

When the soldiers brought the mutton soup and pastry, Han Zhan tasted it and couldn't help but smile: it was indeed a familiar taste. He hurriedly said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, call that cook up, Ben Hou wants to talk to him a few words." ”

Everyone in the hall, seeing that Han Zhan was not eating, also put down the chopsticks in their hands one after another. Seeing that everyone was not eating, Han Zhan hurriedly beckoned them: "Why do you stop, hurry up and eat!" The cook and I are acquaintances, and I want to have a casual chat with him, so everyone doesn't have to worry about me, just eat. ”

Ge Bei, who was in the room, heard that General Zhao wanted to see him, he couldn't help but tremble with fright, he thought to himself that since he entered the barracks, he had been cautious in his words and deeds, and had not done anything wrong, and suddenly beckoned himself to go, what would happen? Although he was very scared in his heart, he still followed the people sent by Zhao Yun to the council hall.

As soon as he walked into the hall, he saw that both sides were full of army generals, and everyone was eating with their heads down. Only when Gebel passed in front of them, he occasionally looked up at him, and no one paid any attention to him.

Ge Bei saw Zhao Yun sitting on the side, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee in the last period, and said respectfully: "Little Ge Bei, see the general." I don't know what the general ordered to recruit villains here! ”

"Gebetsu, it's not General Ben who wants to see you." Zhao Yun pointed to the middle of the chamber with his hand, "It's the lord who wants to see you!" ”

"Gebetsu." Han Zhan looked at Ge Bei below, and said with a smile: "You don't work as a cook in Zigu's mutton soup restaurant, why did you come to join the army?" By the way, are you and Zigu already married? ”

Ge Bei knew that Han Zhan knew his details, so he hurriedly lay down in front of Han Zhan, and after kowtowing a few times in a row, he said: "If you go back to the lord, the little one and Zigu have never been married. ”

"Oh?!" Ge Bei's words made Han Zhan feel a little surprised, "I see that you have a deep affection for Zigu, why hasn't she agreed to marry you yet?" ”

Hearing Han Zhan's question, Ge Bei shook his head and replied with a wry smile: "Zigu thinks that the villain has no ability, except for being able to make mutton soup and pastries, he has no ability at all. The last time he came to the store to make trouble, if it wasn't for the help of the lord, even if Zigu was kidnapped by the gangsters, the little one would be helpless. ”

From Ge Bei's words, Han Zhan analyzed that the reason why Zigu was reluctant to marry this cook who had a crush on her was because she felt that she had no ability. In order to win Zigu's heart, Ge Bei decided to join the army and change his image in Zigu's mind by making meritorious contributions. Thinking of this, he asked Ge Bei tentatively: "Ge Bei, is it because Zigu is unwilling to marry you that you can join the army?" ”

"Lord Mingjian!" As soon as Han Zhan's words fell, Ge Bei immediately replied: "After the little one wants to enter the military camp, when he follows the lord to fight in the east and west, he can make a little contribution, and when the villain goes back in the future, he can make Zigu look at him differently." ”

"Ge Bei, don't worry, you will be able to return to your hometown sooner or later, so that Zigu will be impressed by you." Han Zhan smiled and said to Ge Bei: "When Ben Hou goes to ask for a cup of wine, you can't help it." ”

"Lord, if you can come when the villain and Zigu marry in the future, it is a matter of putting gold on the villain's face," Ge Bei smirked and said, "How can I not give you a happy wine to drink." ”

The generals who were eating on both sides couldn't help but laugh when they heard Han Zhan and Ge Bei from each other.

Han Zhan was about to wave his hand to let Ge Bei retreat, but he unintentionally glanced at the mutton soup in front of him, so he stopped him again, and asked humbly: "Ge Bei, Ben Hou has one more thing to ask you." ”

Ge Bei replied respectfully, "I don't dare to ask for advice." If the lord has any business, just ask. As long as the villain knows, he must know everything and say everything. ”

"When I was in the mutton soup restaurant, I heard Zigu say that if you want the mutton soup to be delicious, you must put a fish in the soup." When Han Zhan talked about this, he was a little embarrassed and said, "But when Ben Hou asked his subordinates to make it according to the law, the soup tasted quite delicious, but there were quite a lot of fish bones in the meat. Ben Hou wants to ask, how do you remove fish bones? ”

When Ge Bei heard Han Zhan say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask the lord, when the people of your mansion boiled mutton soup, did they wash the fish and put it directly into the soup pot?" ”

"That's right, it did." Han Zhan knew that Ge Bei asked this, there must be a reason, maybe there was a problem with the operation steps here, and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Put the fish in the soup pot and cook it for half an hour, then it will rot, and then the bones will fall into the mutton soup. If you drink it directly, it is easy to get stuck in your throat by fish bones. As soon as Gebetsu talked about what he was good at, he didn't have the slightest nervousness, but talked endlessly: "Therefore, when my family makes mutton soup, they wrap the fish in a cloth, tie it with a string, and put it in the soup pot. Wait for half an hour to boil, when the fish is almost cooked, and then remove the cloth bag. In this way, the mutton soup is delicious, and there are no fish bones in the soup. ”

Han Zhan silently remembered everything Ge Bei said, then waved his hand at Ge Bei and said to him, "Okay, there's nothing to do with you here, you can step back first." ”

When Ge Bei left the conference hall, Zhao Yun couldn't help but say with emotion: "I didn't expect that if you want to make the mutton soup delicious, there is so much exquisiteness. ”

Han Zhan decided to help him in order to let Ge Bei and Zigu have a lover and finally become a family, so he instructed Zhao Yun: "Zilong, tell the gang to take good care of this person, and definitely not let him be in any danger." Otherwise, the woman he likes will only be able to watch over the door in the future. ”
