Han Zhan stayed in the back garden for five days in a row, learning archery with Han Shan.

Maybe he really has a talent for archery, as the archer said. From the next day, his hit rate increased to seven out of ten, and even the archers were amazed at how quickly his archery skills had improved. However, Han Shan's archery level improvement is very limited, barely reaching four or five out of ten.

In order to facilitate the improvement of Han Zhan's archery skills, the archery master ordered someone to place a new arrow target at a position of fifty steps, and said to the two brothers: "From today onwards, there will be two arrow targets in the back garden. The fifty-step target is for the eldest son to practice, and the thirty-step target is continued to practice by the second son. ”

The arrow target suddenly moved far away, and Han Zhan was still a little unfamiliar, so he shot several arrows in a row, but he didn't hit the target. Seeing Han Zhan's repeated mistakes, the archer was a little anxious, and hurriedly stopped: "Eldest son, although the position of the arrow target is farther away than usual, as long as you calm down, you can still shoot the target." ”

The archer master's words calmed Han Zhan, he re-opened his bow and set up his arrows, aimed at the target in the distance, and after holding his breath, he suddenly loosened the bowstring, and the arrow flew out with a sudden, and landed on the arrow target impartially.

Seeing that the arrow shot by Han Zhan was re-targeted, the archer nodded with a smile and said with satisfaction: "Grand Prince, just shoot like you just now, and your level will soon be improved." ”

Before Han Zhan could finish shooting the arrows in his quiver, Patch walked into the garden with an old servant in Tsing Yi. Respectfully reported to Han Zhanyu: "Son, Geng Changshi's family has something to ask to see. ”

Han Zhan turned his head and saw that the old servant in Tsing Yi was the one he had seen when he went to the Changshi Mansion last time, so he said politely: "Old man, please wait for a while, and then talk to you after I finish shooting these arrows." ”

The archery master arranged for the two brothers of the Han family to shoot twenty arrows each morning and evening, so Han Zhan didn't care about talking to the old family members of the Geng Wu family until the prescribed arrows were finished. When he was shooting, he thought to himself that Geng Wu was in such a hurry to send someone to find him, could something have happened? Because he was absent-minded, the arrows he shot out lost their accuracy, and he shot out the remaining seven or eight arrows in one go, and all but one of them missed.

After Han Zhan returned the iron-tired bow to the archer, he came to the old family and asked politely, "Old man, don't you know what Geng Changshi is looking for me?" ”

The old servant bowed to Han Zhanshen and replied, "Son, the master of the house, please come over to the house." ”

Although he knew in his heart that the old servant didn't necessarily know the reason for inviting him over, Han Zhan still asked casually: "Do you know something?" ”

The old servant shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Childe, the old man is just a subordinate who listens to the dispatch of others, where does he dare to inquire about the master's affairs casually." If Childe is okay, please come with me. ”

Han Zhan knew that after Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, Geng Wu and Min Chun moved out of their original residence and lived only two or three streets away from here. Therefore, when he went out, he saw that the old servant did not ride a horse, so he did not ask the domestic servant to prepare a horse, but went to Geng Wu's new residence on foot.

When he arrived at the place, Han Zhan couldn't help but be taken aback after seeing Geng Wu's new residence clearly. There was only a simple house, with a hall in the middle, a living room on the left and right, a roof covered with straw, and the walls were made of yellow mud and straw. Outside, there was a small courtyard, and the walls of the courtyard were the same as the walls of the houses, which were made of yellow mud mixed with straw.

Seeing that the old family took Han Zhan into the courtyard, Geng Wu and Min Chun hurriedly greeted them and respectfully let Han Zhan into the house. After everyone was seated, Han Zhan opened his mouth and asked, "Two adults, I don't know if you have any advice for calling Han here today?" ”

After Geng Wu and Min Chun glanced at each other, Min Chun said, "Wenwei, let's talk about it." ”

Geng Wu nodded, and said to Han Zhan with a serious expression: "When Yuan Shao entered Jizhou a few days ago, the strategists Fu Zhu and Tian Feng refused to go to greet him because they were sick. ”

Hearing this, Han Zhan nodded, signaling that he knew about it. At the same time, I thought that Geng Wu suddenly mentioned this matter to himself, could it be that the purpose of looking for himself here today has something to do with these two people? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Geng Changshi summoned Han here today, could it be related to Fu Zhu and Tian Feng?" ”

"That's right," Geng Wu said with certainty, "I heard that Yuan Shao once personally visited Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, and according to the information I received, the two of them had officially taken refuge in Yuan Shao yesterday. ”

"Childe, Wen Wei was extremely angry when he learned about this, and he was ready to go to the house of the two in person and reprimand them." Min Chun looked at Han Zhan and said, "It was I who advised him to think in the long run, first find Gongzi and you to discuss, and then decide how to deal with it." ”

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, so let them go." Han Zhan knew in his heart that no matter who was the lord of Jizhou, Fu Zhu and Tian Feng would defect to each other, and he, a powerless and powerless little person, would not be able to recruit them, so he said magnanimously: "Even without them, we will be able to take back Jizhou sooner or later." ”

Before going to Yuan Shao's military camp, Han Zhan said this, Geng Wu and Min Chun were still convinced, and at this moment, listening to him bring up the old matter, Geng Wu couldn't help frowning and said: "Childe, the prince of the mansion is now just a vain general of Fenwu, if you want soldiers or generals, how can you have the strength to compete with Yuan Shao?"

Although Han Zhan also felt that his future was bleak in the past two days, in front of Geng Wu and Min Chun, he still pretended to be full of confidence and said: "Two adults, please wait a little longer, things will take a turn for the better, and then we will build up our own strength and accumulate strength to recapture Jizhou." ”

After Min Chun waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, he expressed his worries again, "I heard from a colleague that Yuan Shao went north two days ago to persuade Lu Yi to submit to him. Lu Yi is a rare fierce general, if Yuan Shao gets him, it will be like a tiger with wings, and it will be even more difficult for us to succeed in the future. ”

"Don't look at Yuan Shao is now the lord of Jizhou, but many of the original Jizhou civil and military forces don't buy him." In order to dispel the concerns of the two, Han Zhan analyzed the current situation for them: "At least Zhao Fu and Cheng Lian's soldiers and horses, he can't mobilize them." The tens of thousands of strong crossbows under the command of these two generals are not far behind even the most elite white horse righteous servants of Shanggong Sun Zhan. If Yuan Shao wants to take this army for his own use, it will take at least half a year or so. ”

After listening patiently to Han Zhan's analysis, Min Chun said, "Childe, let's believe in you for a while. If Childe is not able to cultivate his own power within three months, please forgive the two of us for not being able to obey your orders anymore. ”

Looking at the two old ministers of Jizhou who had died at the hands of Yan Liangwen and Chou in front of him, Han Zhan asked with a sigh of relief: "Han wants to hear what the two adults have in the future?" ”

"Youzhou Liu Yu is known as a virtuous person," Geng Wu said slowly, "The two of us plan to go to him!" ”

……

Just when the three of them were spying at Geng Wu's house, on the street where Han Fu's mansion was located, a large group of soldiers suddenly appeared. They walked along the street to the gate of the mansion, and one of the officials leading the team drew the sword at his waist and shouted: "Surround the Han Mansion for me, and no one inside is allowed to let go!" ”

After the soldiers surrounded the entire Han Mansion, the official glanced back at the dozens of soldiers who followed behind him, and waved his sword forward: "Rush in with me!" ”
