When Chun Yuqiong was dragged aside by the soldiers to beat the military stick, it was time to carry out the ceremony of letting Jizhou go. Such a grand ceremony would definitely not be held outside the camp, so the group came to the camp tent.

Han Zhan waited for Yuan Shao to sit behind the long case in the middle of the big tent, and the civil and military forces under him also stood on the left and right, and then held the seal ribbon in his hand and came to Yuan Shao with Xun Chen. He took a step forward, bowed deeply to Yuan Shao, and said respectfully: "The fourth and third princes of Yuan Gong, with high virtue and talent, can lead Jizhou." On the orders of his father, Zhan came to deliver the seal ribbon and begged Yuan Gong to accept it. ”

Although Yuan Shao dreamed of obtaining Jizhou, he still had to make some excuses according to the convention. He stood up, bypassed the table, came to Han Zhan's face, waved his hands and said: "Gongzi is serious, Shao Gong is weak, and he is afraid that he is incompetent for Bohai Taishou, not to mention Jizhou Muhu!" ”

Han Zhan secretly glanced at Yuan Shao and saw that although he tried his best to put on an unsmiling appearance, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth revealed the ecstasy in his heart. Han Zhan couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, and said in his heart that Yuan Shao, this guy, wanted to get Jizhou in his dreams, but at the moment he was behaving coyly, he had to be like those powerful ministers when they were receiving Zen, and they had to come up with a routine of three concessions and three rejections. So, he bowed again: "At present, there is Gongsun Zan of Youzhou outside, and there are remnants of the Yellow Turban making trouble inside. May Yuan Gong take the world first and take over the post of Jizhou pastor. Jizhou is very lucky, and the world is very lucky! ”

After the second let Jizhou, Yuan Shao couldn't help but be a little moved, and instinctively raised his hand, wanting to pick up the seal ribbon in Han Zhan's hand. After Feng Ji on the side saw it, he hurriedly coughed heavily. The coughing sound woke up Yuan Shao, he felt that he was a little too anxious, and the other party had not yet made three concessions, so he took the initiative to take the seal ribbon, which was a bit inappropriate. He hurriedly shook his hand and put on a stubborn reluctance: "Thank you Han Fujun and Gongzi for their kindness, Yuan is a shallow scholar and can't take on this big responsibility." Liu Yu of Youzhou is a relative of the Han family, and he is close to Jizhou, so why not let it go to the state? ”

When Han Zhan heard Yuan Shao say this, he scolded in his heart: What are you really going to do again, and you want to set up a memorial arch. I have long coveted Jizhou, and now I still pretend to disdain Jizhou, if it weren't for my strength being too weak, I wouldn't give it to you.

Even if he is no longer willing to let Yuan Shao enter Jizhou, this Jizhou has to be given to Yuan Shao today. So he bowed to Yuan Shao for the third time and saluted: "Today's disturbance, Jizhou is in danger, my father is not enough, and I hope that Yuan Gong will think of Jizhou and receive the Jizhou pastoral seal." ”

Regarding Han Fu's three concessions to Jizhou, Yuan Shao still resolutely refused: "Shao's ability is limited, can An be able to take on this big task?" ”

Xun Chen saw that the procedure of three refusals had been completed, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pretended to persuade: "Gong Yuan, please also take the common people of Jizhou as your mind and accept the Jizhou pastoral seal." ”

"Lord!" Standing aside to watch the lively Feng Ji, seeing that the time was ripe, he hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Since it is Han Fujun's sincerity, for the sake of Sheji and Li Min, you still agree!" ”

Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou are military generals, they are not stupid, and when Feng Ji finished speaking, he also stood in the tent and said: "Lord, please don't live up to Han Fujun's kindness, just accept it!" ”

Feng Ji, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou were all Yuan Shao's henchmen, they all said so, and the rest of the civil and military forces still didn't understand Yuan Shao's original intention, so they hurriedly went out to echo it, and unanimously asked Yuan Shao to accept Han Fu's kindness and accept Jizhou Mu's seal.

Yuan Shao saw that he was now "expected by everyone", so he "reluctantly" took the seal ribbon in Han Zhan's hand, and then said to everyone in the account in an official tone: "Everyone, Jizhou is in danger today, for the sake of Sheji and Li Min, Yuan will temporarily take the post of pastor of Jizhou, and when there is a suitable candidate in the future, he will transfer this seal ribbon to others." ”

After completing the handover of the seals, the overjoyed Yuan Shao immediately ordered the people to hold a banquet to entertain Han Zhan and Xun Chen.

Chun Yuqiong limped into the tent, and when Yuan Shao saw him, he immediately ordered: "Zhong Jian, go and toast Han Gongzi, if it weren't for him to intercede for you, your head would have been hung on the gate." ”

"Yes!" Chun Yuqiong agreed, picked up a wine bowl from the tray in the hand of the waiter next to him, came to Han Zhan's face, held the wine bowl in both hands, and said angrily: "Thank you Han Gongzi for saving your life, please drink this wine." ”

Although Han Zhan didn't like Chun Yuqiong, but now that he was on Yuan Shao's territory, he still had to be polite enough to Yuan Shao's generals, so he stood up, touched the wine bowl with both hands, and said to Chun Yuqiong: "General Chunyu, let's drink together, please!" With that, he raised his head and drank a bowl of wine.

After Chun Yuqiong left, Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the middle, opened his mouth and asked, "Virtuous nephew, I don't know how old you are, but you have been married, do you have any words?" ”

Han Zhan hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to Uncle Yuan's words, the little nephew is seventeen this year, and he has not yet married, nor has he reached the age of picking up words. ”

Yuan Shao glanced at Xun Chen, who was chatting and laughing with his subordinates, and said with some puzzlement: "The virtuous nephew is seventeen, why hasn't he been married yet?" How did I hear that the daughter of Xin Ping's brother Xin Bi has been married to Han Fujun's youngest son? ”

"That's right." In the past few days, Han Zhan has learned about some of the situation in the house through Pear Blossom, and knows that Han Fu's youngest son Han Yue, although he was born to a concubine, is deeply loved by Han Fu, and he has just turned two years old and Xin Xianying, the one-year-old daughter of Xin Bi, and made a baby kiss. "My father saw that Lord Xin's daughter was lively and lovely, so he decided to do this family business for his younger brother." Han Zhan was even thinking in his heart that if Jizhou had not ceded to Yuan Shao, Han Fu might have chosen this youngest son when he chose an heir in the future.

"A good nephew can have a favorite object." Yuan Shao had just accepted the seal ribbon from Jizhou Mu, and he was in a very good mood, so he was also very enthusiastic about Han Zhan, who came to send the seal ribbon: "The old man can be a matchmaker for you." ”

"Thank you Uncle Yuan for your kindness." For Yuan Shao's kindness, Han Zhan hurriedly thanked him: "The little nephew has never had a favorite woman, and when there is a suitable candidate in the future, he will definitely ask Uncle Yuan to do it on his behalf." ”

Yuan Shao and Han Zhan said a few more words, and then discussed with Feng Ji how to accept Jizhou's affairs. Han Zhan turned his head to see Xun Chen, who was fighting with Yuan Shao's subordinates, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: With the death of Han Fu's main Xun clan, the Yingchuan Xun clan and Han Fu became more and more estranged. Even if Han Fu took a strong stance against ceding Jizhou to Yuan Shao this time, there was no guarantee that these half-hearted subordinates would not cede Jizhou to more powerful princes.
