"Back to my lord!" Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said, "I have to say that sending troops at this moment is the best time to destroy Cao Mengde. If you miss this opportunity, after Cao Mengde occupies the surrounding counties and becomes a climate, I am afraid it will not be so easy to destroy him again. ”

Han Zhan heard that Guo Jia's statement was a little ambiguous, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and then asked tentatively: "Fengxiao, according to what you said, did you agree to send troops?" ”

"Sending troops to fight against Cao Mengde is just a matter of words. As long as our Jizhou army is dispatched to seize Dongjun, it will be easy. Guo Jia said with some embarrassment: "But even if Zhang Miao sent Chen Gong to ask us to send troops to attack Cao Mengde, there was always a little bit of unjustification, and his subordinates were worried that the ministers of the DPRK and China would complain about this matter." ”

Speaking from his heart, Han Zhan really wanted to agree to Chen Gong's request and send troops together with Zhang Miao to defeat Cao Mengde. Don't look at it, you have already dug up Cao Mengde's Wenchen Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, military generals Dian Wei, Xu Huang and others, but with Cao Mengde's ability, in less than two years, he will be able to re-form a group of people who can compete for the world. The side of the couch does not allow others to snore and sleep, and with such a big time bomb by his side, the sooner he can get rid of it, the better. But if he wants to agree to Zhang Miao's request just because of a few words from Chen Gong, and send troops to fight against Cao Mengde, I am afraid that he will attract criticism from the court.

Guo Jia saw Han Zhan's hesitation, so he said tentatively: "Lord, if you can't make up your mind, it's better to bring Zilong and Hansheng and ask them what they mean." ”

"Makes sense, makes sense." Han Zhan hurriedly got up and shouted outside the hall: "Rob, Rob ......"

shouted twice, but didn't see any trace of Luo Bu, Han Zhan was about to get angry, Guo Jia reminded him: "Lord, you asked Luo Bu to take Chen Gongtai to the post house, did you forget?" ”

After Guo Jia's reminder, Han Zhan immediately remembered that he had indeed sent Rob to send Chen Gong to the post house, so he hurriedly changed his words and shouted: "Someone, someone!" ”

As he shouted, two soldiers walked in from outside, bowed their hands, and asked in unison, "What does the lord command?" ”

"You go to the military camp in the city quickly, and invite Zilong, Hansheng, and Ziman to the mansion!"

"Whoa!" The two soldiers said yes, turned and walked out of the main hall.

"Fengxiao," as soon as the two soldiers left the main hall, Han Zhan asked Guo Jia with a straight face: "Ben Hou asks you again, should we agree to Zhang Miao's request and send troops to fight against Cao Mengde?" ”

Guo Jia did not answer Han Zhan's question directly, but asked rhetorically: "Lord, as long as our army sends troops, it will be easy to destroy Cao Mengde, what my subordinates want to ask is, how do you plan to deal with Cao Mengde?" ”

"Cao Mengde is a capable minister who rules the world and a traitor in troubled times." As soon as Guo Jia's words fell, Han Zhan instinctively said the evaluation of Cao Mengde by later generations. Seeing the look of surprise on Guo Jia's face, he immediately realized that he had leaked his words, and hurriedly covered it up and said: "But Benhou wants to destroy Cao Mengde, it is a gesture, he will definitely not be a traitor, then let him go to the court to be a capable minister of the world." ”

Without waiting for Guo Jia to speak, a soldier who had just gone out suddenly walked into the main hall again, bowed down and reported to Han Zhan: "Lord Qiqi, the three generals Zilong, Han Sheng, and Ziman have arrived!" ”

"What, so soon?" Han Zhan thought to himself that this soldier hadn't even walked out of the gate of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, so why did he invite Zhao Yun and them, and hurriedly asked, "Where are they now?" ”

"Coming here." The soldier reported: "Before we have left the palace gate, we saw three generals coming towards us, and the younger one hastened to report to the lord. ”

It didn't take much time, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei walked into the main hall and bowed to Han Zhan: "The last general will wait to see the lord!" ”

"Ben Hou was about to send someone to find you, but I didn't expect you to come first!" Han Zhan waved his hand left and right and said, "Sit down." ”

After Zhao Yun and the others greeted Guo Jia again, they found a seat and sat down. After everyone sat down, Zhao Yun, who was sitting next to Guo Jia, hugged his fists towards Han Zhan and said, "My lord, the last general heard that you were rehearsing some Huangmei opera in the mansion recently, and you happened to be idle, so I made an appointment to come to the mansion." I don't know what you want to do with us? ”

"General Zilong," Guo Jia, who was sitting next to Zhao Yun, saw Han Zhan winking at him, so he took the initiative to tell Zhao Yun and the others about Chen Gong's visit, and finally said: "The lord sent someone to invite you here, I want to ask you what you think, should we send troops?" ”

"Cao Mengde and we have no grievances, why do we send troops to attack him?" To Han Zhan's surprise, it was Dian Wei who spoke first, and he said disdainfully: "What's more, it's villains like Zhang Miao who send troops together." ”

Hearing Dian Wei's complaints, Han Zhan suddenly remembered that Dian Wei used to be Zhang Miao's subordinate, a soldier who was specially responsible for raising the flag, and because he couldn't get used to Zhang Miao's actions, he left Chen Liu, and was taken in by himself by mistake. Now that he wants to cooperate with Zhang Miao, it is strange that Dian Wei has no emotions in his heart.

"What about you?" Han Zhan turned his gaze to Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong again: "What do you think?" ”

"Lord!" As soon as Han Zhan's words fell, Huang Zhong stood up and replied, "The last general will listen to you, and you will do what you say." If you want to send troops to recruit Cao Mengde, the last general is willing to be the vanguard! ”

Zhao Yun was silent, and Han Zhan did not urge, but looked at him quietly. Wait until he says what's in his heart. After a long time, Zhao Yun finally spoke: "My lord, when the courtiers asked Cao Mengde to send troops to attack the army of our class, not only did he not send troops, but instead sent a full favor to report the news. Although the person who reported the news came a little late, after all, it is considered to be kind to you, and if you send troops to crusade against those who are kind to you, I am afraid that it will attract a lot of criticism, and it will affect your reputation at that time. ”

Zhao Yun's words just hit Han Zhan's heart, he stood up, walked back and forth behind several cases with his hands behind his back, thinking about the stakes of this dispatch. If you don't send troops, Cao Mengde will become his confidant sooner or later; Send troops, the other party once sent someone to warn him, this is more or less a kindness, if he is ungrateful, he will definitely be poked in the back.

"My lord," seeing Han Zhan's hesitation, Guo Jia stood up and suggested to him: "If you can't pay attention, you might as well let Changshi and the prison army come over for a detailed look, maybe they can resolve your worries." ”

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, then Benhou will recruit Changshi and the prison army to see what they think." After Han Zhan finished speaking, he called the soldiers outside the door in again and instructed them: "Quickly go and invite Changshi and the prison army to come here, Ben Hou has something important to discuss with them." ”
