After the army stayed in Guantao for another two days, Han Zhan returned to Jizhou with the army. Xun Yu, Zhang He, Tian Feng and others, who stayed in Jizhou, immediately led people out of the city ten miles in the snow to greet them when they learned the news of Han Zhan's return to Jizhou.

Xun Yu and Han Zhan walked side by side, glanced at the carriage in the queue, and asked curiously, "Zhan'er, is that the carriage with people?" ”

"Zuo Zhonglang will Cai Yong, Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Bojiao." Han Zhan explained to Xun Yu: "She married into the Hedong Wei family, and it didn't take long for her husband to die. Now that the three years of filial piety are over, he left the Wei family and returned to his mother's home. She was kept by me when she passed through the castle of Guantao. ”

Hearing that Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Yong, was in the carriage, Xun Yu's face showed an expression of surprise: "It turned out to be the daughter of Cai Bojiao, it is said that she is erudite and literate, writes poetry, is good at astronomy and mathematics, is good at debate and music, and has the color of the country and the city." I didn't expect her to come to Jizhou. ”

Seeing Xun Yu praising Cai Yan like this, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Uncle, Zhao Ji will live in Jizhou for a long time, and you will have the opportunity to meet her in the future." ”

Xun Yu nodded yes, and then talked to Han Zhan about business: "Zhan'er, I received a letter from Li Ru, and he hopes that you can go to Chang'an to meet Master Dong as soon as possible. ”

When Han Zhan heard Xun Yu say this, he thought to himself, now that the road is closed by heavy snow, the road is difficult to travel, and he can only wait for the beginning of spring next year to go to Chang'an, but it will not be far from Dong Zhuo's period at that time. Wang Yun used a series of schemes, and killed Dong Zhuo with Lu Bu, Li Su and others, while Li Dao and Guo Yan avenged Dong Zhuo and soon led the Western Liang soldiers to capture Chang'an. If he rushes to Chang'an during this time, he may accidentally put his own life into it. So he said decisively: "No." ”

Although Xun Yu couldn't get used to Dong Zhuo's actions, for the sake of Han Zhan's future, he still persuaded him euphemistically: "Zhan'er, although Dong Zhuo is a thief, why not coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world, which is where the righteousness lies. The reason why Li Ru wrote such a letter may be the instruction of Dong Thief. ”

"If you want to cross the Yellow River and the ice and the river, you will climb the snow-covered mountains in Taihang." Han Zhan casually said two lines of Li Bai's poem, adding: "It's not that Benhou doesn't want to go, but it's a pity that the weather is cold and the road is difficult, so it's not too late to wait for the spring of next year and go to Chang'an to meet the Taishi." ”

"Okay," Seeing that Han Zhan was reluctant to go to Chang'an, Xun Yu could only nod and say, "The messenger sent by Li Ru is still in the mansion, and when I return to the mansion, I will tell him what you mean." ”

Han Zhan suddenly remembered Guo Tu and Xin Bi who were missing, and hurriedly asked Xun Yu: "Uncle, I don't know if Guo Tu and Xin Bi have any whereabouts?" ”

Guo Tu disappeared after Yuan Tan was ambushed; As for Xinbi, after Hu Zhen and Du Chang's Black Mountain Army broke through Ren County, they fled from the city in disguise and disappeared. Before sending out the army to Tao, Han Zhan told Xun Yu that he must be clear about the whereabouts of the two of them, no matter what, they are more or less a historical celebrity, there is no reason to disappear like this, they must be hiding somewhere.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Han Zhan finished asking, Xun Yu nodded and said: "According to our army's detailed report, both of them have now gone to Bohai County and went to Nanpi City to join Yuan Shang.

"Did we find out the situation there for the detailed work we sent to Bohai County?" Han Zhan continued to ask: "Who are the capable people under Yuan Shao in Bohai County?" ”

Xun Yu thought for a while and replied: "There are Xu Yu in Wen, there are high-ranking cadres in Wu, and there are about sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses. ”

After understanding the strength of the Yuan army in Bohai County, Han Zhan just let out a soft "oh", and then said to Xun Yu: "Uncle, although there are a lot of soldiers and horses in Bohai County, there is nothing to worry about, we can easily eliminate them. ”

…………

Han Yan and Lihua, who greeted Han Zhan in the backyard, couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Han Zhan coming in and a charming woman behind them.

Pear Blossom's eyes were red, tears almost burst out of her eyes, there was a jade in the backyard, which made her sad enough, but she didn't expect her son to go out to fight, and when he came back, he actually brought back a woman.

Han Yan saw that Pear Blossom's expression was a little wrong, so she asked Han Zhan a little angrily: "Big brother, who is this little lady?" How did I follow you to the backyard? ”

Pear Blossom's reaction had already been seen by Han Zhan, he knew that the other party was jealous, and when he was thinking about how to explain it to her, his baby sister paper was angry at him. He hurriedly laughed, called Cai Yan over, and introduced to Han Zhan: "Second sister, let me introduce to you, this is Cai Yan, Cai Zhaoji, the daughter of Cai Bojiao, she will live with us in the future, you can't bully her." Then he turned to Cai Yan, "This is Han Yan, the sister of the house." ”

After Cai Yan waited for Han Zhan to finish his introduction, he stepped forward to salute Han Yan: "Zhao Ji has seen Miss Yan'er. ”

Han Zhan saw that Cai Yan was so polite to him, so naturally he couldn't have another seizure, so he could only try to squeeze a smile on his face and said to the other party: "In the future, it will be my own family, Sister Cai doesn't have to be so polite." ”

"Pear Blossom," Han Zhan saw that Pear Blossom looked like she was about to cry, and hurriedly ordered her: "Zhao Ji has been tired all the way and needs to rest, so you can take her to bathe and change her clothes." ”

"Yes, Childe." After Lihua agreed in a crying voice, she raised her hand and wiped it on her face, and said to Cai Yan with a smile: "Miss Cai, please come with your maid." ”

Cai Yan nodded gratefully at Han Zhan, and then followed Pear Blossom with her maid and walked in the direction of the inner courtyard.

After seeing Pear Blossom leave, Jade and A Nuan, who were standing in the crowd, immediately ran out, each holding one of Han Zhan's arms on the left and right, and the little bird leaned on his body and said softly: "Tinghou, you are finally back, and the slaves are thinking about you every day." ”

"Wait," Han Zhan couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard that the two of them had changed their name for themselves, "Didn't you always call me Little Marquis before, why do you call me Pavilion Marquis now?" ”

Jade's gaze quickly glanced at Han Yan who was not far away, and said timidly: "It's Miss who said it, or it's better to call Tinghou." ”

Han Zhan didn't continue to entangle on the title, but took the two back to his room. When he saw Patch coming in silently, he instructed him, "Patch, you go out to find Rob, just say that I ordered him, and let him arrange manpower as soon as possible to make a few more ondols in the room in the backyard." ”

"Ondol?" Hearing Han Zhan's order, Patch asked with a confused expression, "Childe, what is a fire kang?" ”

When the patch asked this question, Jade and Ah Nuan on the side also looked at Han Zhan with a curious expression, wanting to figure out what the fire kang was talking about in Tinghou's mouth? However, Han Zhan smiled and didn't answer, but urged the patch: "What are you still doing here, don't go quickly." By the way, you can arrange for someone to prepare hot water, and I plan to bathe in the house. When Patch turned to leave, Han Zhan ordered Ah Nuan to go to the back kitchen to get something to eat for him.

Hearing that Han Zhan was going to bathe in the house, as soon as Patch and Ah Nuan left, Jade leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice, "Tinghou, let the slave family wait for you to bathe and change your clothes later." ”

Han Zhan laughed and said teasingly: "Okay, okay, will you accompany Ben Hou to bathe later, how about we have a mandarin duck to play in the water?" ”

Jade didn't expect Han Zhan to say such a bold word, and suddenly blushed with shame, buried her head deep in Han Zhan's arms, and neither agreed nor objected.

After the people were ready for everything, Han Zhan, with the help of Jade, took off his clothes and lay down in the wooden barrel and began to soak in the hot bath. As Jade was washing his hair with water, he began to think quietly: in a few months, Dong Zhuo would die on the bodies of Wang Yun and Lu Bu. And Li Dao and Guo Yan were unwilling to sit idly by, and led the Xiliang army to capture Chang'an, forced Lu Bu away, killed Wang Yun, and held Emperor Xian of Han hostage. What should I do in this situation? The king of the soldiers, that is the old birthday star who hanged himself for a long time; Watching from the wall, watching Chang'an's lives in misery, he couldn't do it.

"What should I do?" Han Zhan thought to himself, and asked unconsciously.

"What are Tinghou talking about?" Jade, who was helping Han Zhan wash his hair, heard him talking to himself, and hurriedly asked, "Is it that the slave family is trying too hard and hurting Tinghou's hair?" ”

"No, no, it's none of you." Han Zhan waved his hand again and again and said, "Ben Hou was thinking about other things, and he was so engrossed in it for a while that he said it to himself. ”

Just as Han Zhan was staring at the jade with a face like a peach blossom, thinking about whether to drag her into the barrel and play in the water with a mandarin duck, the patch broke in at an inopportune time: "Childe! ”

Han Zhan, who had been disturbed by the good things, sank his face and asked dissatisfiedly, "Patch, what's the matter?" ”

"Back to Gongzi's words," Patch saw that Han Zhan's face was a little wrong, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Xun and Mr. Guo are waiting for you in the conference hall, saying that there is something important to discuss!" ”

"I know," Han Zhan waved his hand at the patch and ordered, "You go out first, after I take a shower and change clothes, I will go to the council hall." ”

Han Zhan thought that he had just returned to Jizhou today, and the big guys would have to rest for a day or two before they would gather in the conference hall to discuss matters. I didn't expect Guo Jia and them to be so anxious, and they actually sent patches to urge themselves when they were bathing.

Han Zhan hurriedly finished washing, got up, and with the help of Jade, put on his clothes, and didn't even care about the food that Ah Nuan had just brought, so he hurried to the conference hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen," after Han Zhan sat down in the middle of the conference hall, he asked the group of Wenchen sitting below, "I don't know what's the matter with urging me over in such a hurry?" ”

"Lord, Jia heard that Li Ru, the henchman of Dong Thief, sent someone to bring you a letter." Guo Jia came out and asked, "I wonder if the lord wants to rush to Chang'an immediately?" ”

Han Zhan snorted coldly, and then said, "Now that the weather is cold and the road is rugged and difficult, how can I go to Chang'an?" Even if we want to go, we will have to wait until the next year when we defeat Yuan Shao and capture Yecheng. ”

thought that such an answer could be perfunctory to Guo Jia and others. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jia said: "Lord tolerance, don't say you can't go now, even if we defeat Yuan Shao in the next year, we can't go to Chang'an." Dong Zhuo, a national thief, how can we bend our knees to him. ”

Guo Jia's words immediately aroused the response of Xun You, Tian Feng and others. After the chamber was quiet again, Guo Jia continued: "According to Jia's analysis, Dong Zhuo is full of evil, and sooner or later he will die, so we should draw a line with him as soon as possible." Otherwise, once we are classified as Dong Thief's fellow party, we will have a hard time arguing. ”

No one thinks Guo Jia's statement is alarmist, after all, Dong Zhuo has done too many bad things, and everyone wants him to die. Tian Feng asked Guo Jia curiously: "Fengxiao, I don't know how long Dong Zhuo can live?" ”

Without waiting for Guo Jia to answer, Han Zhan suddenly remembered a poem by Cao Cao, and couldn't help but chant in public: "The thief holds the authority of the country, kills the lord and dies Yujing." Overthrew the emperor's foundation, and the temple was burned. Sowing more and more westward migration, crying and walking. The city of Zempolo, the micro-child is sad. ”

Hearing Han Zhan's mouth, he casually made a poem, Guo Jia and Xun You, who had heard Han Zhan's poems in the pavilion, had natural expressions, but Xun Yu, Tian Feng, Zang Hong and others were shocked and almost fell to the ground, they never dreamed that Han Zhan would actually compose poems.

Xun Yu pointed at Han Zhan with his finger and asked in surprise, "Zhan'er, is this a poem you made?" ”

Han Zhan smiled faintly and asked rhetorically, "I wonder if my uncle has ever heard this poem before?" If not, it means that I did it. ”

Xun Yu frowned and thought about it, and finally shook his head decisively and replied, "No, never, this is the first time I have heard this poem." ”

"Xun Changshi," Guo Jia said to Xun Yu with a smile, "Since you have never heard this poem before, it means that this poem was made by the lord." In fact, what's so strange about this, a few days ago, when Gongda and I were in the pavilion, I also heard a poem given to Miss Cai by the lord! ”

"What, Zhan'er gave a poem to Miss Cai?" Xun Yu heard Guo Jia say this, and a suspicious expression appeared on his face: "Fengxiao, can you read it and listen to it?" ”

"Clouds want clothes, flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon. If it weren't for the jade mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon. After Guo Jia finished reciting the poems made by Han Zhan, he said to Xun Yu with a smile: "Xun Changshi, if I wasn't by my side at that time, I really can't believe that the lord can make such a good poem." As soon as this poem came out, Gongda and I immediately felt ashamed. ”

Xun Yu nodded after hearing this and said, "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable. I have never heard of these two poems, and they must have been done by Zhan'er. By the way, on the way back to the city today, I told him Li Ru's letter, and he said casually: If you want to cross the Yellow River and the ice and the river, you will climb the snow-covered mountains in Taihang. In just a few words, the road is difficult to walk, and it is vividly described, which is really unconvincing. ”

Everyone gathered in the conference hall, originally to discuss how to get along with Dong Zhuo, but as they spoke, everyone began to comment on several of Han Zhan's poems. Seeing that everyone was off topic, Han Zhan hurriedly coughed heavily, and waited for the meeting hall to be quiet again before he asked, "Tell me, how should we get along with Dong Thief?" ”
