Geng Wu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the old housekeeper tell him that Gongzi was asking to see him outside the mansion, because he had very little time to deal with Han Zhan, and he couldn't think of any reason for the other party to visit him.

When he walked to the door, he saw the smiling man in white standing outside the gate of the mansion, it was indeed Han Zhan, the eldest son of Han Fujun, Geng Wu hurriedly stepped out of the threshold and stepped forward to salute: "I don't know if the son has arrived, the old man has missed the distance, and I hope to forgive the sin." ”

Han Zhan replied with a smile: "Geng Changshi, Zhan came to visit rashly, there is a lot of trouble, please don't blame it." ”

Geng Wu stepped aside and stretched out his hand to the door to make a gesture of please: "Childe, if you don't dislike the humble house, please go in and sit down." ”

Han Zhan followed Geng Wu to his room, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a middle-aged man in a black official uniform kneeling next to the table in the middle of the room. Han Zhan was guessing who the person who came to visit Geng early in the morning was, and the person had already gotten up and saluted him, and said respectfully, "Min Chun greets Gongzi!" ”

"It turned out to be Min Beijia," when he heard that the person in front of him was Geng Wu's friend Min Chun, Han Zhan's heart couldn't help but be secretly happy, because in this way, he wouldn't have to go to Min Mansion again later. He returned the salute to Min Chun, and said respectfully: "Zhan is polite!" ”

As soon as the three of them sat down around the table, Geng Wu's old butler walked in with a tray. After placing the tea bowl in the tray in front of Han Zhan, he quietly withdrew.

As soon as the housekeeper left, Geng Wu arched his hand towards Han Zhan and asked curiously: "I don't know if the prince came to the cold house, what do you think?" ”

"Three days after my father's order, he took his seal and ribbon to Yuan Ying to welcome Yuan Benchu into Jizhou." Han Fu didn't go around in circles with the two, but asked straight to the point: "Before leaving, do you want to hear what the two adults think about this matter?" ”

When Min Chun heard Han Zhan's question, he couldn't help but snort heavily, and said angrily: "Childe asked the wrong person, we have resigned now, there is nothing to say." ”

Geng Wu's attitude was much better, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I don't know what Gongzi thinks of Yuan Shao?" ”

Although Han Zhan has never seen Yuan Shao, to evaluate him, he only needs to copy the evaluation of Yuan Shao when Cao Cao and Liu Bei were cooking wine and talking about heroes: "Yuan Benchu is fierce and timid, and he is indecisive and scheming; Do big things and spare your life, and forget your life when you see small profits. ”

Han Zhan's evaluation of Yuan Shao greatly surprised Geng Wu Min Chun. The two looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Geng Wu coughed lightly, and then asked politely: "Since Gongzi knows Yuan Benchu so well, why don't you dissuade Fujun and prevent him from letting Jizhou out?" ”

"My father has made up his mind, and persuasion is useless." After Han Zhan said this with a bitter face, he suddenly remembered the reason why Han Fu said to him that he had to give up Jizhou, so he asked the two curiously: "Two adults, I want to ask you, if Gongsun Chan attacks Jizhou from the north and Yuan Shao from the west at the same time, can we resist it?" ”

Min Chun sneered, "What Gongsun Chan relies on is nothing more than his white horse righteous servant, and the 10,000-strong crossbow of Zhao Fucheng and the two of them is enough to break it." After breaking Gongsun Zhan, it would be simple to turn around and deal with Yuan Jun again. Yuan Benchu had no food in his army, and as long as our army could not hold out, it would be inevitable to withdraw in a few days. ”

"There are millions of people in Jizhou, which can support ten years of food. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. Geng Wu was not to be outdone, and said: "Don't look at Gongsun Zhan's menacing, but his strength can't be compared with Fujun, even if our army doesn't go out of the city to meet the enemy, as long as it can't hold out, Gongsun Chan will withdraw his troops sooner or later." ”

Min Chun sighed, and then said: "Jizhou is originally a land of ointment, especially after the governance of the Hou Emperor Fu Song of Huaili, the government has sufficient money and food, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. As long as you can hold Jizhou, then you have the strength to dominate the world. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao will salivate and try his best to seize Jizhou. ”

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." After Han Zhan dragged an ancient sentence, he asked Geng Wu Min Chun: "Yuan Benchu occupied Jizhou, and he is already a boat, I don't know what the two adults plan to do in the future?" ”

Geng Wu smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I plan, it's just death." ”

Geng Wu's reply once again reminded Han Zhan that in the romance, although Geng Wu and Min Chun had resigned, the two did not leave immediately, but ambushed outside the city, and when Yuan Shao passed by, they rushed out of the roadside in an attempt to kill Yuan Shao, but they were killed by Yan Liangwen Chou, who accompanied him. Since he has come to this era, he cannot let these two loyal and good people sacrifice their lives in vain.

Thinking of this, he leaned back slightly, squinted his eyes and asked, "Could it be that you want to assassinate Yuan Shao?" ”

As soon as Han Zhan's words came out, Geng Wu and Min Chun were immediately shocked to stand up from their seats. Geng Wu asked a little flustered, "Why did Childe say this?" ”

Hearing Geng Wu's answer, Han Zhan guessed that the two had made the decision to assassinate Yuan Shao, maybe before he came, the two were discussing the details of the assassination, otherwise how could Min Chun go to Geng Wu's house early in the morning.

Han Zhan didn't answer Geng Wu's question, but said to himself: "Yuan Shao has two generals by his side, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, even ordinary generals can't get close, let alone you two civil officials. If you assassinate Yuan Shao, you can only send him to death in vain. ”

Min Chun naturally couldn't say such a famous saying as "I'd rather die if I'm not free", he just gritted his teeth and said: "As long as I can kill Yuan Shao's dog thief, it's not a pity for me to die." ”

"There is no value in dying like this." Han Zhan raised his hands and pressed them down, motioning for Geng Wu and Min Chun to sit down, "We have to think about it in the long run." ”

Geng Wu looked at Han Zhan carefully and found that this son of Han Fujun, who usually looked inconspicuous, actually had a convincing temperament. After he sat down again, he arched his hand at the other party and asked politely, "I don't know what Childe has to say?" ”

"Give up the plan to assassinate Yuan Shao." In order to stop the risky behavior of the two, Han Zhan deliberately emphasized: "Because you don't have the slightest chance of winning. ”

"The eldest husband is not afraid of life and death," Min Chun said proudly: "Even if I want to die, I will take a risk." ”

However, Geng Wu was very calm at the moment, he guessed that Han Zhan might have any good ideas, so he humbly asked: "Childe, since you asked us to cancel the assassination operation, could it be that you have other plans?" As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately attracted Min Chun's attention, and both of them turned their eyes to Han Zhan, who was sitting on the side, wanting to hear what he would say.

"Yuan Shao's stay in Jizhou is already a sure thing, no matter what we do now, we can't change this reality." Han Zhan said with a normal expression: "Therefore, I beg the two adults to continue to stay here, if Yuan Shao invites the two of them, don't refuse." My Han family will be the lord of Jizhou sooner or later, and I hope that the two adults can help me then. ”

Han Zhan's words surprised Geng Wu, and he sat up straight and asked, "I wonder how long it will take Gongzi to recapture Jizhou from Yuan Shao's hands?" ”

"Three years at least, five years at most." Although Han Zhan didn't have any foundation at the moment, in order to stabilize Geng Wu and Min Chun and prevent them from making sacrifices in vain, he still stubbornly said: "I will definitely take back Jizhou from the Yuan thief." ”

"A word?" Geng Wu asked tentatively.

"It's a deal!" Han Zhan replied with a resolute expression.

An alliance with Geng Wu and Min Chun is a good start. Han Zhan decided to strike while the iron was hot, thinking that there were too few people in the anti-Yuan alliance at present, he asked Geng Wu again: "Geng Changshi, our strength is too thin, I don't know who else can recruit?" ”

Geng Wu thought for a moment, and then replied: "Zhao Fucheng and Cheng are loyal to the monarch of the house, and they must also be usable people. ”

Although he hadn't seen Zhao Fu and Cheng Lian, since Geng Wu said so, it proved that these two people were still reliable, Han Zhan told Geng Wu: "Geng Changshi, you go and contact the two as soon as possible, so that they can return to their respective defense areas, lest they stay in Jizhou and be seized by Yuan thieves, and then it will be too late to regret it." ”

"Don't worry, Childe, I'll visit the two of you in person later." Geng Wu replied briskly.

"Childe, there's one more person available." As soon as Geng Wu's words were finished, Min Chun continued: "Captain Caidu was frustrated with the Duke of Fu, and yesterday in the council hall, he also strongly opposed letting Yuan Thief enter Jizhou. ”

"Min don't drive," Han Zhan, who had watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, had a very good impression of Fu Zhu, and when he heard Min Chun recommend Fu Zhu to him, he immediately replied: "The matter of contacting Fu Gong and Gong is up to you to complete." ”
