"When the Dong thieves coerced the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials to move the capital," Guo Jia and the others Xun Yu and Han Zhan quieted down, and then said slowly: "Teach the sects to set fires, block the defense of the residents, and set fire to the Zongmiao Palace." The north and south palaces are connected by flames; The Changle court is all scorched earth. Dong thief also sent Lu Bu to excavate the tombs of the emperor and the concubines, and took tens of thousands of catties of gold treasures to replenish military funds. ”

Listening to Guo Jia's tone, Han Zhan didn't seem to object to organizing people to rob the tomb, but he still asked cautiously, "I wonder if Feng Xiao agrees with this matter?" ”

Guo Jia stood up, nodded, and said to Han Zhan and Xun Yu: "After the rule of Wenjing in the previous dynasty, the practice of thick burials prevailed, but those with a solid family background must have treasures and gold and silver in the tomb, if we take it, we will be able to enrich the military salary." ”

Han Zhan saw that Guo Jia also agreed with this matter, and the heart hanging in his throat finally fell back into his stomach, and then he could rest assured and boldly arrange manpower. He looked at the two of them and asked, "Uncle, Fengxiao, how many people do you think we should send to carry out this matter?" ”

"There are too many people, and it is easy to leak information; However, if there are too few people, it is difficult to carry all the treasures in the tomb. Xun Yu said thoughtfully: "I think I will send 500 people to find a reliable person to lead the matter of stealing and digging graves." ”

"Xun Changshi" Guo Jia waited for Xun Yu to finish speaking, and immediately asked: "I don't know who you think is reliable and can take on this important responsibility?" ”

"Captain Dian Wei," Xun Yu said without hesitation: "This person is loyal to the lord and brave in martial arts, and he is the best person to lead his troops to take charge of this matter." ”

Regarding the candidate proposed by Xun Yu, Han Zhan fell into deep thought: That's right, after these few months of getting along, Dian Wei has followed him with all his heart, and asked him to lead a force to rob the tomb, he may not refuse. But such a fierce general, instead of letting him charge, let him steal the grave and dig the grave, which is a bit petty.

Just when Han Zhan was hesitating, Guo Jia took the initiative to propose: "Lord, I still call Zilong, Xiahou Lieutenant, and Dian Lieutenant here to discuss this matter, and see what the three of them think?" ”

Guo Jia said that he called Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, and Han Zhan thought it was logical, after all, Jizhou soldiers and horses were in charge of Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei was the candidate proposed by Xun Yu. But what is the purpose of calling Xiahoulan? Thinking of this, he asked puzzledly: "Fengxiao, what are you calling Xiahoulan for?" ”

"Lord," Guo Jia smiled faintly and said to Han Zhan: "If the captain is unwilling, we will at least have a backup candidate, so we can be prepared." ”

"Yes, yes, Feng Xiao is reasonable. Be prepared," Han Zhan praised Guo Jia's statement, walked a few steps towards the door, and shouted outside: "Someone!"

With Han Zhan's shout, Chen Zhi, who was leading the team on duty outside the conference hall, immediately strode in and saluted Han Zhan with his fists in his hands: "I don't know what the lord commands?" ”

"Uncle Zhi," Han Zhan walked in front of Chen Zhi and instructed him, "You immediately send someone to find Zilong, Dian Wei, and Xiahou Lan, and say that I have something important to discuss." ”

Zhao Yun and the others had just left the state pastoral mansion, and before they returned to the barracks, they were caught up by the sent Rob. Luo Bu rode his horse and came to Zhao Yun's face, clasping his fists and saluting: "General Zhao, the lord has an urgent summons, please rush to the state pastor's mansion immediately." ”

Zhao Yun quickly glanced at Xiahou Lan, who was walking with him, and asked, "Is it just me?" ”

Luo Bu's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen Xiahou Lan beside Zhao Yun, and hurriedly added: "The lord also asked Captain Xiahou to return with him." ”

After Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan left together, Luo Bu inquired about others and learned that Dian Wei had already returned to the barracks, and hurriedly rushed to the barracks.

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan returned to the council hall of the Prefecture Governor's Mansion and saluted Han Zhan. Han Zhan waved his hand at the two of them and beckoned, "You guys sit down, and when Dian Wei comes, I will discuss an important matter with you." ”

Hearing that there was something important, Zhao Yun felt extremely puzzled in his heart, and when he talked about the discussion, didn't the second brother say that he would not take any military action for the time being except for military training recently? At this moment, he is in a hurry to recruit himself back, is there something unexpected happening?

After a while, Dian Wei also hurried in. As soon as he walked into the council hall, he couldn't wait to ask, "My lord, is there anything important to come to me?" ”

"Dian Wei, sit down, I have something important to say to you." After Han Zhan waited for Dian Wei to sit down, he told them about the tomb robbery that he had discussed with Xun Yu and Guo Jia under the puzzled eyes of the three of them. Finally, he looked at Dian Wei and asked, "Dian Wei, Ben Hou plans to let you lead these five hundred people to dig up the grave to enrich the military salary." I don't know what you think? ”

When Dian Wei heard that Han Zhan had actually assigned him such a task, the muscles on his face twitched violently a few times, and then he stood up, stiffened his neck and said, "Lord, I won't do this kind of thing that damages yin morality." ”

Seeing that Dian Wei rejected him so simply, Han Zhan smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said, "Since Dian Wei is unwilling to be in charge of this matter, then Ben Hou will choose someone else." ”

"Lord," Zhao Yun stood up, clasped his fist at Han Zhan and said, "Our army has enough food and grass, it seems that there is no need to do this kind of thing to attract the scolding of the world." ”

"General Zilong," Xun Yu, who had been beside him without speaking, saw that things were in danger of getting out of control, and hurriedly stood up and said to Zhao Yun: "We want to expand the soldiers and horses and repair the city, which will inevitably cost a lot of money. And now the Jizhou Treasury can run away from the empty ones, except for robbing the tomb, I can't think of a better way. ”

"Big brother," Han Zhan knew that if he didn't convince Zhao Yun, if he wanted to transfer manpower, he would definitely encounter a lot of resistance, so he said euphemistically: "Our soldiers and horses will be more and more, and the need for money and food will be greater and greater." Ben Hou didn't want to loot the people and make people angry, so he could only consider stealing some treasures from these tombs to enrich the military salary and feed his own soldiers and horses. Tell me, is Ben Hou's approach wrong? ”

After listening to Han Zhan's heartfelt words, Zhao Yun was silent for a long time, and finally said: "My lord, what you said also has some truth, and the last general will not dare to oppose it again." But if there is a sent, please do not hesitate to command. ”

Han Zhan glanced at Dian Wei, who was silent on the side, and then sighed: "Ben Hou originally planned to let Dian Wei be in charge of this matter, but I didn't expect him to refuse, it seems that I can only find someone else." ”

"My lord, I am willing to take on this heavy responsibility." Dian Wei was a straight man, and when he heard the conversation between Han Zhan and Zhao Yun, he knew that he was not robbing the tomb to satisfy his own selfishness, so he also changed his mind in time: "When do we do it, please ask the lord to order." ”

Han Zhan returned to the middle and sat down, his gaze swept over Dian Wei and Xiahou Lan, and then he spoke: "There are a total of five hundred soldiers and horses responsible for robbing tombs and obtaining wealth, named the 'Faqiu Army', and they are led by Dian Wei and Xiahou Lan. Dian Wei was promoted to the rank of general of Faqiu Zhonglang, and Xiahou Lan was appointed as the captain of the school. ”

Dian Wei and Xiahou Lan hurriedly stepped forward and clasped their fists in salute: "The last general will take the order!" ”

"Remember," Han Zhan told the two, "The tombs stolen are mainly princes and generals, supplemented by wealthy businessmen and magnates, and the cemeteries of ordinary people must not be destroyed at will." After entering the tomb, the Faqiu army only took property and did not destroy the bones. After emptying the treasure in the tomb, be sure to seal the open hole so that no one can enter it. ”

Regarding the regulations made by Han Zhan, Dian Wei and Xia Houlan glanced at each other, and replied in unison: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Xiahou Lan stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Lord, I don't know who should dispose of the property we take every time?" ”

Han Zhan's eyes looked at Xun Yu on the side: "The property taken from the tomb will be handed over to Xun Changshi for disposal." ”

"The Admiral understands." After Xia Houlan finished speaking, she retreated.

Before Zhao Yun and the others left, Han Zhan solemnly told them: "After all, this matter is not very glorious, except for you and the brothers of Faqiu Jun, let more people know about this matter." Do you understand? ”

"The last will understand." The three of them agreed in unison, turned and left the chamber.

Guo Jia looked at the backs of the three of them, and said thoughtfully: "Lord, do you think the three of them will have a grudge against you because of this matter?" ”

Without waiting for Han Zhan to answer, Xun Yu had already rushed to say: "Feng Xiao is too worried, I think the three of them are loyal to Zhan'er. Especially General Zilong, he and Zhan'er are friends for eight worships, but they have also experienced life and death together, and they will not have different hearts. ”

Han Zhan was anxious to go back to the backyard to talk about life with Cai Yan and Lihua, and he didn't want to stay in the conference hall for long, so he said perfunctorily: "Yes, Fengxiao is too worried, I have already explained the matter to them, presumably they won't have any bad thoughts." By the way, Fengxiao, if you are okay tomorrow, you will go to the barracks with my uncle to help my eldest brother and them choose the right candidates and form the 'Faqiu Army'. ”

"Subordinates obey." Guo Jia agreed, and left the conference hall with Xun Yu.

Han Zhan staggered back to the backyard, and without going back to his room, he walked towards where Cai Yan lived. As a result, halfway through, I met Jade. Jade asked with a smile, "Tinghou, where are you going?" ”

Han Zhan didn't expect to meet Jade here, so he laughed dryly twice, and said with a serious look: "I want to go and see if Miss Cai is used to living there." Also, I asked Rob to bring someone to plate the kang for them, is it good? ”

After listening to Han Zhan's words of covering her ears and stealing the bell, Jade couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. But seeing Han Zhan's eyes that were about to eat people, he hurriedly lowered his head and stood solemnly, and said with a respectful attitude: "Qiyu Pavilion Marquis, Miss Cai has already fallen asleep, if you want to see her, you can only wait for tomorrow." ”

Hearing that Cai Yan had gone to bed, Han Zhan sighed a little disappointed. But seeing the beautiful and moving jade in front of him, he smiled and said: "Although Ben Hou's room has a fire kang, but sleeping alone, it is still a little lonely, I don't know if Jade can help Ben Hou warm the quilt tonight." ”

"Tinghou," Jade looked around before speaking, and when she saw that no one else was present, she said a little embarrassedly: "Jade is red tonight, and she can't wait for Tinghou." After she finished speaking, seeing Han Zhan's lost expression, she carefully suggested, "Why don't you let Ah Nuan come and wait for you?" ”

Jade's proposal made Han Zhan's heart flutter, and he almost agreed, but suddenly thought of the pear blossom's face that could squeeze out water, if he spent the night with Ah Nuan tonight, it is estimated that starting tomorrow, he will not even be able to drink herbal tea, and the food he eats will be even more difficult to swallow. Thinking of this, he suddenly retreated again. He shook his head and said, "Since your body is inconvenient, then forget it." Benhou was still in the period of filial piety, and he couldn't marry a wife and take a concubine, and some things were still not done. ”

"There is a thief's heart but no thief's courage." Hearing Han Zhan's high-sounding words, Jade muttered in a low voice: "I obviously like Ah Nuan, but I don't dare to let her serve you." ”

"What are you talking about?" Jade's whispered words were heard by Han Zhan, and he frowned and asked, "You actually dare to say bad things about Ben Hou in front of Ben Hou?" ”

"Tinghou misheard." Jade hurriedly defended with a smile on her face: "How dare Jade say the words of Tinghou, is it not going to die?" After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, and said, "Oops, I almost forgot, Sister Pear Flower still has something to explain to me, and I want to rush over to find her." ”

Seeing Jade fleeing and leaving, Han Zhan shook his head with a smile, he really couldn't discipline these women in the backyard. Now there are only three or four, and it has become like this, and if a few more are found in the future, it will not be a mess in the world. It seems that when you have the opportunity, you must find a powerful woman to come back and help you manage your backyard.

As soon as Han Zhan returned to his room, Patch rushed over when he heard the news. He asked respectfully, "Childe, I don't know what you command." ”

"No," Han Zhan waved his hand at the patch and said, "You go back and rest first." ”

After Han Zhan was left alone in the house, he began to consider the benefits and disadvantages of the Faqiu Army in the city. Although with the Faqiu Army, he can obtain a large amount of treasure to enrich his military salary by robbing tombs, but at the same time, it will also have a negative impact on his reputation. You must know that in real history, Cao Cao sent troops to rob tombs, and after the outbreak of the Battle of Guandu, he was reprimanded in Chen Lin's "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao". Cao Cao, who was originally in pain because of the head wind, was shocked into a cold sweat after reading the text, and suddenly got up, and the head wind suddenly healed.

Once the matter of the Faqiu Army is known, the person who will be reprimanded in the future will no longer be Cao Cao, but himself. Thinking of this, Han Zhan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart that this is really incompatible. In order to feed his army, if he did not loot the people, he had to start from these tombs with rich treasures. I hope that in the future history books, those historians can experience their own hardships and be merciful to themselves.
