Chapter 0164: Xu Shu returns
After sending Cao Cao away, Han Zhan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In this way, his mind will not always have the idea of killing Cao Cao, and he will not have to worry about the other party digging into his corner.
He even secretly rejoiced that he didn't bring Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, Dian Wei and others. These strategists and generals who have followed Cao Cao in history, although they have been with themselves for a long time, but if when they see Cao Cao, Wang Ba looks at the mung beans and directly chooses to jump ship, then his trip to borrow grain is not a loss for his wife and soldiers?
Thinking that he had been in the city for a long time, but he had never visited Gao Ran, he said to Chen Zhen, who was walking with him: "Xiaoqi, accompany me to visit the high school lieutenant to see how his injuries are." ”
Hearing that Han Zhan was going to visit Gao Lan, Chen Zhen's face showed a look of surprise, and he hurriedly replied, "My subordinates obey orders!" ”
"Filial piety," as the two walked along the street towards Gao Lan's mansion, Han Zhan opened his mouth and asked Chen Zhen: "Who is responsible for investigating the assassination of the high school lieutenant?" ”
Chen Zhen shook his head and replied, "Back to the lord, after you returned to Jizhou, Captain Xiahou also sent people to investigate in the city many times, but there was no clue. It was as if the Assassins had fallen from the sky, and their origins could not be traced. ”
Han Zhan knew that this kind of headless public case was the most difficult to investigate, so he did not embarrass Chen Zhen, but said understandingly: "Xiaoqi, no matter what, this matter must continue to be investigated, and we must give a satisfactory answer to the senior lieutenant." After saying this, he was silent for a while, and said with emotion, "I was also assassinated in Yuan Shao's army at the beginning, if it weren't for my righteous brother Zhao Yun, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago." ”
The two were talking, and unconsciously came to the door of Gao Lan's mansion. On each side of the gate of the mansion stood four soldiers with halberds, and when they saw Han Zhan and the others coming, a team leader ran out of the door and saluted Chen Zhen, "See Chen Taishou!" ”
"Excuse me!" Chen Zhen rushed to the team and asked, "How is the captain today?" ”
"Back to Taishou," the team leader heard Chen Zhen's question, and replied with some excitement: "Half an hour ago, with the support of his subordinates, the senior lieutenant once went to the gate of the mansion and chatted with the brothers. Everyone was very happy to see that the lieutenant's body was like a day by day. ”
"That's great, I'll go in and see him." After Chen Zhen finished speaking, he walked inside.
Han Zhan followed behind Chen Zhen and walked inside, but he was stopped by the team leader. Seeing that Han Zhan was very young, the team leader thought that he was Chen Zhen's son and nephew, so he said to Chen Zhen with some embarrassment: "Chen Taishou, in order to ensure the safety of the high school captain, no one else needs to go in except you, right?" ”
"Bold!" Seeing that the team leader actually dared to stop Han Zhan, Chen Zhen was immediately furious, and shouted at the other party: "This is the Marquis of Zhangshui Pavilion, and you and the other small team leader actually dared to prevent him from entering the mansion to visit the high school captain." ”
Hearing that the person standing in front of him was Han Zhan, the team leader was taken aback, and he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The little one has eyes and no beads, and he didn't recognize the lord, please forgive the lord!" ”
The soldiers standing next to him also hurriedly knelt down with the team leader, and said in unison: "The little ones have no eyes and no beads, and they don't recognize the lord, please forgive the lord!" ”
Han Zhan waved his hand at the soldiers, and said magnanimously: "Those who don't know are not guilty, get up!" Then he walked up to Chen Zhen and said to him, "Let's go, filial piety, let's go in and visit the senior lieutenant." ”
The two came to Gao Ran's bedroom, and Gao Ran, who had been informed by his subordinates, was already standing at the door to greet him. As soon as Han Zhan came over, Gao Ran was about to bow down, Han Zhan hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said, "The high school lieutenant is injured, so there is no need to be so polite." ”
After the three of them walked into the warm bedroom, Gao Ran beckoned his subordinates to bring tea, and then said with a face full of shame: "The lord appointed the last general to guard the pavilion, but the last general was injured and couldn't serve the lord, it's really ashamed." ”
"The lieutenant doesn't have to blame himself, you are injured, so you should naturally recuperate at home. After the injury heals, he will come out to preside over the defense of the pavilion pottery. In order to reassure Gao Ran, Han Zhan also emphasized to him: "Captain Xiahou is only the temporary acting general of the pavilion, and when your injuries heal, he will naturally let Xian." ”
Han Zhan pondered here for more than half an hour, in addition to understanding his injuries, more importantly, teaching him the right time to deal with it when Yuan Shao restarted.
After talking about the military, we started talking about civilians again. Chen Zhen remembered the rumors he had heard recently, so he asked Han Zhan curiously: "Lord, I heard the rumors, it seems that Jizhou City is preparing to give Yongye Tian to all the soldiers. ”
"Yongye Tian?!" Hearing this unfamiliar word, Gao Ran asked curiously, "What is this?" ”
Seeing that Chen Zhen, Gao Ran and others didn't know anything about their upcoming "Yongye Tian", Han Zhan couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart that the promotion of this kind of system did not seem to be ideal. For the questions of the two, he made a simple one by one: "Yongye Field, as the name suggests, is the land granted to the soldiers, which can be cultivated for generations and never received. For example, if you are given 10 acres of land, even if you die in the future, this property can be inherited by your children or relatives. ”
After listening to Han Zhan's explanation, Chen Zhen and Gao Ran glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes. After a pause, Chen Zhen asked, "My lord, I don't know when you plan to implement this 'Yongye Tian' system?" ”
"Even if you want to promote it, you need to wait until the beginning of spring next year." Han Zhan said with a sad face: "But Ben Hou has not yet found a suitable person to be in charge of Yongye Tian's affairs. ”
Chen Zhen waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "Has the lord forgotten that Mr. Shan Fu?" According to the observation of his subordinates, Na Shan Fu also has the talent of heaven and earth, and he is a rare talent, and he is undoubtedly the best candidate to be responsible for rewarding Yongye Tian. ”
If Chen Zhen didn't mention Shan Fu, Han Zhan almost forgot that Xu Shu had been going to Chen Liu for a while, but there was no follow-up. I don't know if he is persuading his friend Shi Tao, or if he has already gone south to Liu Biao's territory to escape the war like real history.
Han Zhan looked at Chen Zhen and asked, "Xiaoqi, I don't know if you have any news about Mr. Shan Fu?" ”
Chen Zhen nodded and replied, "If the subordinates' estimation is correct, wait for another three or five days at most, and Mr. Shan Fu will return to the pavilion." Once he is sure to accept the invitation of the lord, he can leave the affairs of Yongye Tian to him to handle. ”
"Three or five days to wait?" Han Zhan, who originally planned to return to Jizhou with his troops and horses the next day, couldn't help but ponder when he heard that Xu Shu might be able to return to Guantao in a few days. He looked at Gao Ran in front of him, and thought to himself: Gao Ran's injuries may be healed in a few days, and then he will be able to return to Jizhou with Xu Shu and Xiahoulan. And he also thought about it, let Xiahou Lan and Dian Wei together, lead the Faqiu army to dig graves and prepare money and food for themselves. As soon as Xiahoulan returns, Xiahouyun, who temporarily acts as his post, can step down.
"Since Mr. Shan Fu will be able to arrive at the pavilion in three or five days." Han Zhan nodded and said, "Then Benhou will stay here for a few more days, and when Mr. Shan Fu arrives, he will return to Jizhou with him." In order to calm Gao's heart, he also deliberately said, "Captain Gao, when Benhou returns to Jizhou, he will take Captain Xiahou with him." Pavilion Tao here, but it will be left to you and Xiaoqi to be responsible. ”
"Thank you, lord," Gao Ran hurriedly stood up and saluted Han Zhan with a fist: "The last general will definitely live up to his mission." ”
After returning to the Taishou Mansion, Han Zhan immediately ordered someone to call Xiahou Lan to his residence. When he saw that there were only himself and Xiahou Lan in the room, Han Zhan opened his mouth and said, "Captain Xiahou, in order to raise military salaries, Benhou has formed a 'Faqiu Army', and you and Dian Wei are in charge. Dian Wei is now the general of Faqiu, and you are the captain of the touching gold. Since you were not in Jizhou at the time, the position of captain of the Jin school was temporarily taken by Ling Mei. ”
It was the first time Xia Houlan had heard of the "Faqiu Army", and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lord, what is the Faqiu Army?" ”
"He was responsible for digging graves and stealing gold, silver and jewels from the tombs of princes and generals." Han Zhan observed Xiahou Lan's expression and said slowly, "Use this money to enrich our army's salary. ”
Regarding the new position that Han Zhan had arranged for herself, Xia Houlan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, since this 'Faqiu Army' established by the lord has not even objected to you and my eldest brother Zhao Zilong, it proves that this army is still necessary to be established." Please rest assured, as soon as the last general returns to Jizhou, he will immediately take over the position of captain from the hands of the sister. The last general will definitely do his best to assist General Dianzhong Lang in commanding the Haofa Qiu army. ”
…………
Han Zhan stayed in Guantao City for two days, either inspecting the barracks or going to the people to ask for warmth. As soon as he and Xiahou Lan returned to the Taishou Mansion from outside on this day, they saw Chen Zhen greet him and said excitedly: "Lord, Mr. Shan Fu is back!" ”
"Mr. Shan Fu is back?!" Hearing that Xu Shu had returned to the pavilion, Han Zhan was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed Chen Zhen's arm and asked excitedly, "Where is he now?" ”
"Just above the main hall,......" Before Chen Zhen's words were finished, Han Zhan had already run past him like a gust of wind and rushed towards the main hall.
When Han Zhan rushed into the main hall, he saw two people sitting next to several cases, chatting in a low voice. When they heard someone coming in, they all turned their heads and looked at the person who came in.
When it became clear that it was Han Zhan, Xu Shu hurriedly stood up and prepared to salute the other party. Unexpectedly, Han Zhan rushed directly to his side, grabbed his arm and said happily: "Mr. Shan Fu, you are finally back, I really want to die Benhou." ”
After Xu Shu and Han Zhan exchanged a few words, he turned around and pointed to his companion sitting next to him and said, "Tinghou, Shan Fu will introduce you to you, this is my friend below, Yingchuan Shi Taoshi Guangyuan." ”
"It turned out to be Mr. Shi!" Hearing that this person was Shi Tao, Han Zhan hurriedly stepped forward to salute him: "Ben Hou is polite!" ”
Seeing Han Zhan saluting himself, Shi Tao hurriedly stood up and saluted back: "Tinghou is polite, Shi doesn't dare to be!" ”
After everyone sat down again, Han Zhan looked at Xu Shu and couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Shan Fu, I don't know what to do next?" ”
After Xu Shu and Shi Tao glanced at each other, they asked Han Zhan with a smile: "I don't know what work Tinghou plans to arrange for him?" ”
Knowing that Xu Shu was willing to help him, Han Zhan hurriedly said: "Ben Hou plans to award the 'Yongye Field' to the soldiers in Jizhou in the near future, and he is worried that there is no suitable person to be in charge of this matter. Since Mr. Shan Fu is here, Ben Hou plans to hand over this matter to Mr. to be responsible, I don't know if Mr. is willing? ”
When Xu Shu heard Han Zhan mention "Yongye Tian", he frowned and asked Chen Zhen, who was sitting on the side: "Brother Xiaoqi, I don't know what 'Yongye Tian' is?" ”
Chen Zhen explained to Xu Shu with a smile: "It is the land granted to the soldiers, which can be cultivated for generations and will never be granted." This matter, according to Chen, Mr. Fei Shan Fu can't complete it. ”
After figuring out what the "Yongye Field" was, Xu Shu nodded and said to Han Zhan: "Meng Tinghou will not give up, Shan Fu is willing to serve the Tinghou and try his best to do a good job in the distribution of the 'Yongye Field'." ”
Seeing that Xu Shu had promised him, Han Zhan turned his gaze to Shi Tao on the side again. Don't look at this person's amazing performance in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but since he can become a friend of Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang, he must still have the ability. Therefore, he asked Shi Tao with a smile: "Mr. Guangyuan, I wonder if you can stay and help Mr. Shan Fu?" ”
Shi Tao didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Xu Shu, as if asking for his opinion. Xu Shu smiled and nodded, signaling that Shi Tao could agree to this. Seeing Xu Shu's performance, Shi Tao made up his mind and prepared to stay and retreat with Xu Shu. He hurriedly stood up and bowed to Han Zhan: "Thank you Tinghou for your kindness, I am willing to be Jizhou to do my part." ”
Now that Xu Shu has come to vote, and there is a Shi Tao who is not bad at being willing to serve him, Han Zhan was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Chen Zhen: "Chen Taishou, today two gentlemen, Shan Fu and Shi Guangyuan, have come to serve our army. If you don't quickly clean up your food and drink and treat them well, how long will you wait? ”
When Han Zhan picked up the wine bottle and was about to toast everyone, he suddenly remembered one thing, and hurriedly vaccinated Xu Shu and Shi Tao: "Two gentlemen, Jizhou has been decided, and the official position is still relatively chaotic, and it will take time to gradually adjust. If the official position conferred by Benhou is too low, I hope you will not blame it. ”
"What did Tinghou say," Xu Shu said politely: "We serve Tinghou to support the Han family, and the size of the official position does not matter." ”
Seeing that Xu Shu was so reasonable, a smile appeared on Han Zhan's face, he raised the wine bottle in his hand high, and said to Xu Shu and Shi Tao: "Two gentlemen, please drink this cup together!" With that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the wine bottle cleanly.
