Chapter 0021: Yan Liang's Analysis
The rain continued for several days, and there was still no sign of stopping, and Yuan Shao's army had to continue to stay on the banks of the Zhangshui River.
With the protection of the heavy troops sent by Yuan Shao, Han Zhan naturally had peace of mind in his camp. However, Rao was like this, Zhang He still didn't dare to take it lightly, he increased the number of soldiers guarding outside Han Zhan's tent from three to seven, and there were two patrols of five people, patrolling around the corner day and night. Whether it was the subordinates who served Han Zhan and Xun Chen, or the men who delivered meals, they had to be carefully searched before they were allowed to enter the tent.
Seeing that the camp was heavily guarded, the Assassins would not be able to fly in even if they put on their wings, so he only stayed in Zhang He's tent for one night, so he hurriedly moved back to his tent and continued to be with Han Zhan. What makes him feel that the fly in the ointment is that it is not as convenient as before, and he can't visit friends as he did before, so he can only sit in the tent and drink to relieve his boredom.
In order to ensure that he could smoothly enter Jizhou, Yuan Shao handed over the responsibility of protecting Han Zhan to his henchman Yan Liang. Because of this, in the past two days, Yan Liang has inevitably come to the camp a little more often. After a long time, he and Han Zhan also became acquainted.
When Han Zhan was drinking with Xun Chen, Yan Liang opened the curtain and strode in, and said with a smile: "The two of you are so Yaxing, you have been drinking here so early." ”
"It turned out to be General Yan Liang," Seeing Yan Liang's arrival, Han Zhan suddenly felt relaxed, he was not good at drinking, but Xun Chen had to drink with him every day, and he could only obey his fate as a junior. Although the wine of the Han Dynasty is not as intoxicating as the liquor of later generations, the taste is too poor, and drinking too much makes people a little unbearable. Fortunately, he found that Yan Liang's alcohol consumption was good, so he asked him to accompany Xun Chen to drink instead of him: "You came just in time, my uncle has been waiting for you for a long time, hurry up and sit down to drink wine with him!" ”
Yan Liang arched his hand at Han Zhan, then sat down behind a few cases next to him with a big grin, picked up the wine lord that had been placed for him a long time ago, and made a gesture of invitation to Xun Chen on the opposite side: "Mr. Xun, please!"
Xun Chen drinks in the tent every day, and Han Zhan is the only one who can accompany him to drink, but he doesn't like to drink with his nephew, every time he drinks with a wine bowl, if he can't drink two bowls, he will say that he can't drink enough. As a result, he had to have someone replace it with a bronze wine jue, so that even if the amount of wine was shallow, he could drink two more jukes. It wasn't until Yan Liang, a drinking friend, appeared, that Xun Chen had the feeling that there were fewer than a thousand cups of wine for his confidant.
Every time he gets drunk, Xun Chen is drunk and unconscious, but Yan Liang is the same as no one. As soon as he drank two jars of wine today, Xun Chen was drunk again. Without waiting for Han Zhan to speak, Yan Liang easily helped Xun Chen onto the bed.
After Yan Liang sat down again, Han Zhan asked with a smile, "General Yan, I don't know how long we have to wait before we can leave for Jizhou?" ”
Yan Liang shook his head and replied, "Childe, we can only continue to rush when the rain stops." And after so long of rain, the roads became muddy, and even if most of us were cavalry, the speed of the march would be affected. ”
"Alas~!" After hearing this, Han Zhan sighed: "I don't know when we will be able to return to Jizhou." ”
Han Zhan was anxious to return to Jizhou, he wanted to arrange a future for himself, but Yan Liang misunderstood what he meant, thinking that he was worried that it would be dangerous to stay here, so he was anxious to think about Jizhou, so he hurriedly comforted him and said: "Don't worry, as long as Yan is here, you will never let Childe make a mistake." ”
From Yan Liang's words, Han Zhan heard that the other party had misunderstood what he meant, but instead of correcting him, he arched his hand and said, "In this way, thank you General Yan." ”
"Childe, there is something unknown about Yan, I don't know if to ask?"
"Since you don't think it's right to ask, don't ask." Han Zhan muttered in his heart, but on the surface, he said with a smile on his face: "General Yan, it's okay to ask. ”
"I don't know what kind of enemy Childe has?" Although Yan Liang is a martial artist, he is not as brave and resourceless as he said in the romance, he is also very good at observing words and feelings, seeing that Han Zhan's face is a little unpleasant, he hurriedly added: "I heard Mr. Feng Yuantu say the day before yesterday that it may be that Gongsun Zan in the north sent someone to assassinate the son, but Yan Mou did not agree with this statement. ”
"Why did General Yan say this?" In fact, Han Zhan didn't think that Gongsun Zhan would send someone to assassinate him, because doing so would affect Yuan Shao's plan to seize Jizhou. If Yuan Shao is unable to stay in Jizhou, then after the two sides agree in advance to obtain Jizhou, the plan of the two families to divide equally will be frustrated, and Gongsun Chan will never do such a thing. Seeing that Yan Liang actually saw this at this moment, Han Zhan was very surprised.
"It's very simple," Yan Liang explained to Han Zhan, "As far as Yan knows, Gongsun Zhan's army is still hundreds of miles away from Jizhou, how could he know that Han Fujun will send his son to send a seal ribbon to my lord?" Also, the Assassins had infiltrated the camp the day after the army had set up camp here, and even if Gongsun Chan knew the date of the return of Gongzi and my lord, he would not have had time to arrange it. ”
The situation that Yan Liang said, Han Zhan has also repeatedly considered it in the past two days. In fact, the people he suspected were none other than Yuan Shao and Chun Yuqiong, who had never considered Gongsun Chan at all, and when he mentioned Gongsun Chan in front of Feng Ji that day, it was nothing more than perfunctory to him. Listening to Yan Liang's analysis at this moment, a terrible thought suddenly popped up in Han Zhan's mind: the assassin might be from Jizhou, and the assassin had been following him since he left Jizhou.
He looked up at Yan Liang and asked tentatively, "General Yan, based on your analysis, who will send it at this moment?" ”
Yan Liang shook his head and replied, "Although I don't know who sent the assassin, I think that the mastermind should be someone who knows Gongzi, and it may even be from Jizhou. That's why I asked Childe if he had any enemies. ”
Hearing Yan Liang's analysis, which actually matched his own guess, Han Zhan couldn't help but shudder, and a cold breath rose from his tail vertebrae along his spine to his head.
……
……
At the same time, in a deep mansion compound in Jizhou, a gorgeously dressed boy knelt behind the table, looked at a middle-aged man in a soap coat kneeling in front of him, and asked coldly: "How is it, is there any news over there, did you kill that kid from the Han family?" ”
"Tell Childe." The middle-aged man kneeling below replied respectfully: "The little one sent three people to take advantage of the torrential rain to sneak into the military camp of Yuan Cheqi, and then lost contact with them. When the little one saw that they had not returned, he prepared to go in to find them, but the big battalion had strengthened its guard and could no longer blend in. The little worry was that the son was in a hurry, so he rushed back in the starry night. ”
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, the son suddenly became angry, grabbed the wine lord in front of him, and smashed it at the man. The man hurriedly tilted his head, and the wine lord flew past his ear, and landed on the ground with a series of sounds. The servant standing outside the hall heard the movement inside, and hurriedly probed in to investigate, and saw that it was the son who was angry, so he retracted his head again.
"Fool, you idiot." Childe stood up, pointed his finger at the middle-aged man and scolded angrily: "You immediately go back and continue to monitor, and find an opportunity to kill the Han family boy." If you let him return to Jizhou alive, hum, you don't have to come back alive. ”
