Chapter 189: Han Zhan's Decision
After the three of them discussed the stirrup for a while, Han Zhan suddenly remembered that the two of them came to see him early in the morning, and there must be something important, so he asked curiously: "Two, I don't know what is the important matter when you come to the mansion to see Ben Hou in the early morning?" ”
Han Zhan's question reminded Xun Yu and the others of their purpose. Xun Yu took out the letter from Jingshi from the sleeve of his robe and said to Han Zhan: "Zhan'er, this is a letter sent from Jingshi by Duke Fu and the envoy. He said that Wang Yunqiao made a series of schemes, so that Lu Bu and Dong Thief turned against each other. Now Lu Bu has assisted Wang Yun and successfully killed Dong Thief. ”
Dong Zhuo's death had long been expected by Han Zhan, and the expression on his face did not change much after hearing this. He was more concerned about whether he had an eyebrow about sending Fu Zhi to Jingshi to persuade Cai Yong to leave. As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, he immediately asked: "In my heart, did you say that he had left the Jingshi with Cai Shizhong?" ”
Xun Yu shook his head and continued: "I and Fengxiao are here precisely for this matter. Zhan'er, you better read this letter from Fu Gonghe first. ”
After Han Zhan quickly read the contents of the letter, he was so angry that he slapped heavily on several cases, and said angrily: "Gong and I are wrong, and I am wrong!" Then he got up and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. Guo Jia saw that Xun Yu wanted to persuade him, so he hurriedly shook his head at him, signaling him not to be impatient, and wait for Han Zhan's anger to subside.
After Han Zhan walked back and forth in the house a few times, he thought to himself that he had made a lot of preparations in advance, that is, he wanted Cai Yong, who valued love and righteousness, not to be killed when he hugged the corpse on the street and cried bitterly after Dong Zhuo's death. For this reason, he even sent Fu Zhi to Jingshi to give Wang Yun a series of schemes, who knew that Cai Yong's fate was still the same as in history.
Seeing Han Zhan stop, Guo Jia hurriedly asked, "Lord, now that the frustrated prison army is under house arrest by Wang Yun, what should we do?" Also, whether to send someone to Jingshi with heavy gifts, plead with Wang Yun, and let him release Cai Shizhong. ”
"Fengxiao, it's too late for us to do anything now." Han Zhan sighed and said: "Wang Yunchu is in power, and he is worried that he has nothing to do, but now Cai Shizhong is holding the corpse and crying on the street, which is just his fright. If Ben Hou's analysis is not wrong, Cai Shizhong has been killed by Wang Yun. As for the Fu Jian Jun and Captain Xiahou, as long as Cai Shizhong dies, Wang Yun will not embarrass them......
As soon as Han Zhan's words came to this, suddenly a dull voice came from outside the house, as if someone had fallen. Then a maid's panicked voice came into the house: "Miss Zhaohime, what's wrong with you?" Wake up, wake up! ”
When Han Zhan heard this voice, he immediately shouted badly, and hurriedly rushed out of the study. He saw Cai Yan lying on the side of the wall not far away, and a maid was holding her and shouting incessantly.
Han Zhan squatted down, took Cai Yan from the maid's hand, and scolded himself in his heart: When he just analyzed the situation for Guo Jia and Xun Yu, how could he forget that Cai Yan went to the kitchen to help him serve breakfast, and he would come over at any time. She must have heard about her father's murder, and she fainted in a moment of anger. Han Zhan picked Cai Yan up horizontally and walked towards his bedroom.
Cai Yan took the maid and prepared to bring breakfast to Han Zhan. Unexpectedly, when she walked near the study and heard someone talking inside, she was afraid that it would affect Han Zhan's business, so she stopped. Unexpectedly, he overheard his father's name, and hurriedly listened carefully. I didn't care about it, but I actually heard that my father was imprisoned by Situ Wangyun because after Dong Zhuo's death, he held the corpse on the street and cried bitterly.
Just as she was about to go in and ask Han Zhan to find a way to rescue her father, she heard Han Zhan being furious inside, so she stopped. Finally Han Zhan regained his composure, and before she could go in, she heard the news that her father might have been killed, and she was sad and angry for a while, her eyes were dark, and she was unconscious.
When Cai Yan opened his eyes, he saw Han Zhan sitting beside him. She sat up suddenly, grabbed Han Zhan's hand, and said silently, "Tinghou, please save the concubine's father." ”
In the past, Cai Yan called himself a "slave family" in front of Han Zhan, but today he suddenly changed to the self-title of "concubine", wanting to tell Han Zhan that he is now a member of the Han family. I only hope that Han Zhan can see her face and find a way to rescue her father.
Who knew that after Han Zhan heard this, he shook his head and said, "Zhao Ji, it's not that Ben Hou doesn't want to save Cai Shizhong, but he can't save it." As early as a few months ago, Ben Hou asked you to write to Ling Zun and ask him to come to Jizhou. Even two months ago, he sent the newly attached Fu Gonghe to Jingshi, and ordered him to try to persuade Ling Zun to leave Jingshi. The worst is to save Ling Zun's life. ”
Cai Yan heard Han Zhan talk about frustration, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly shook Han Zhan's hand and said, "Tinghou, aren't there still two hundred soldiers and horses in Beijing?" Can you let them rob the prison and rescue the concubine's father? ”
When Han Zhan heard Cai Yan say this, he really couldn't laugh or cry. He smiled bitterly and said, "Zhaoji, what you are thinking, Captain Xiahou and they have already thought of it. But before they could make a move, Wang Yun had already mobilized heavy troops to surround the post station where they lived, and they were also powerless. ”
Cai Yan weakly let go of Han Zhan's hand, looked at the front with his eyes, and said in despair: "Tinghou, in this way, the father of the concubine is lifeless?" ”
"Alas," Han Zhan let out a long sigh and said to Cai Yan: "Zhaoji, although the Fu Jian Army and Captain Xiahou could not save Ling Zun's life, presumably his body must be transported back to Jizhou, Wang Yun will not object." After saying that, he stood up, patted Cai Yan lightly on the shoulder twice, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
When he came outside, he saw Xun Yu and Guo Jia still standing outside, so he said to the two: "Give a letter back to Fu Zhi and tell him that even if he can't save Cai Shizhong's life, he must bring his body back to Jizhou." ”
Guo Jia took down Han Zhan's orders, and was about to turn around and leave, when Han Zhanyou stopped them and added: "At the same time, send reliable people to Liangzhou to make friends with the four generals Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, who fled there." ”
When Xun Yu heard this, he couldn't help but interject and said, "Zhan'er, these four people have now become lost dogs, is it necessary to befriend them again?" ”
"It's absolutely necessary." Han Zhan said resolutely: "If Wang Yun can pardon the four people, they will definitely serve the imperial court. But Wang Yun was stubborn and self-serving, not only would he not pardon them, but he would kill them all. In order to protect themselves, these four people will definitely raise troops to avenge Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun is estimated to die without a place to bury them. ”
Hearing Han Zhan say this, Xun Yu couldn't help frowning, and he thought to himself: Since Zhan'er knew that these four people were chaotic ministers and thieves, why did he still send people to interact with them? But Han Zhan's next sentence made him suddenly realize: "Benhou wants to befriend these four people, so that when they occupy Chang'an in the future, they can smoothly bring the Son of Heaven to Jizhou." ”
