Guo Jia's reaction had long been expected by Han Zhan. If just now in the hall, the old bustard and that Guo Gongzi's attitude towards him was condescending, and Guo Jia couldn't guess his identity, then he didn't deserve to be called Cao Cao's first strategist. Han Zhan smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Brother Feng Xiao has already recognized this envoy? ”

"That's right." Guo Jia sat down opposite Han Zhan with a big grin, and said with a normal expression: "Although Jia has never seen the envoy, but Jia has just arrived in Sheguo County today, and he is not familiar with the place, and in such a short period of time, the person who knows Jia's whereabouts must know Xun Gongda, so the identity of the envoy is about to come out." In addition, when I was in the hall just now, I saw the attitude of the bustard and the prince towards you, and Jia decided that your Excellency was a state-related order. ”

"Brother Feng Xiao's guess is right, it is indeed Han Zhan who is involved in the country." Han Zhan nodded and agreed with Guo Jia's speculation, and then put forward his own request: "Sheguo County is barren and poor, and there are some vulgar fans in the green building, it is estimated that it is difficult to enter the eyes of Brother Feng Xiao, it is better to go back to the county government with Zhan, although there are no beauties, there are countless wines, which is enough to make Brother Feng Xiao drink happily." ”

Guo Jia smiled and said nothing about Han Zhan's invitation, he picked up the feather fan that was resting on the table when he was thrushing for Berry, shook it gently, and said slowly: "Han Envoy, Jia has something unclear about, and I want to ask you for advice." ”

Han Zhan hurriedly said respectfully: "Brother Fengxiao, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Guo Jia picked up the wine bowl on the table, took a sip, and asked, "Before the Yuan clan entered Jizhou, if the envoy was in the position of Lingzun, how did the envoy plan to prevent the Yuan clan from entering Jizhou?" ”

The question raised by Guo Jia is also the question that Han Zhan has been trying to think about for a while. At this moment, when Guo Jia asked about this matter, he knew that the other party was considering his own ability, so he said carefully: "The change of ownership in Jizhou is related to the disunity of civil and military forces below. If I am the lord of Jizhou, I should let Xun Chen, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Zhang He, and Gao Ran all become my henchmen, and then use the strategy of delaying the army to stabilize the Yuan family, and protect the Yuan family as the assassin ......of Yanzhou."

"Wait a minute," Guo Jia heard this, and immediately interrupted Han Zhan's words, reminding him: "The envoy may not know that the current Yanzhou Assassin is Liu Dai, and he is the brother of Liu Xuan, the Yangzhou Assassin Historian, how can he easily give up Yanzhou?" ”

Han Zhan knew that there were two Liu Dai in the Three Kingdoms era, one was Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou who participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and the other was Liu Dai, Cao Cao's subordinate, and the two were mistaken for one person in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Liu Dai, who was the assassin of the history, was a relative of the Han family, and he would die at the hands of the Yellow Turban Army in the second year.

Hearing Guo Jia's question, Han Zhan couldn't help but grin, and said in his heart that even if you are resourceful, you definitely don't know as much about what is about to happen in the future, as well as me, a traverser. He pretended to be thoughtful and said to Guo Jia: "Brother Fengxiao, you must know that now the Yellow Turban Thief is ready to move in Yanzhou, and sooner or later there will be chaos, but Liu Yanzhou is blind to this. Zhan can assert that if it is three months at the fast or half a year at the slowest, he will either die at the hands of the Yellow Turban, or he will be convicted and locked by the imperial court, and then there will be a vacancy in the post of Yanzhou Assassin. ”

Guo Jia originally looked down on this county magistrate who was four years younger than him, thinking that he could become this official, which was nothing more than a concession made by Yuan Shao in order to envelop the old Han family, and he had no real talent at all. Hearing him say this at this moment, the expression on his face became serious, he put down the wine bowl in his hand, and asked carefully: "If the Yuan clan really becomes the assassin of Yanzhou, what is the next plan for the envoy?" ”

"Send someone north to form an alliance with Liu Yu and make Gongsun Chan retreat." Seeing that his statement had attracted Guo Jia's attention, Han Zhan had some confidence in his heart, so he continued: "Next, Zhan plans to send troops to the east to take Qingzhou. Qingzhou has more people and less grain, so you can use the grain of Jizhou to feed Qingzhou, and when the general trend has been decided, you can go west and merge with the state. In this way, Zhan has the land of four states, and he can dominate the world when he enters, and he can protect himself when he retreats. ”

Han Zhan's answer made Guo Jia fall into deep thought, don't look at him resourceful, but he didn't expect that he could use this strategy to win the world. What he didn't know was that in Han Zhan's plan, Cao Cao was ruthlessly overshadowed, at this moment Cao Mengde was the Taishou of Dongjun to which Yanzhou belonged, as long as Yuan Shao became the assassin of Yanzhou, it would make Cao Cao lose the space for development, only with the enemies of several cities, plus several famous ministers and generals under him, and was poached by the shameless Han Zhan, and whether there would be a battle of Guandu in the future, it became an unknown. At that time, the person who can compete with Yuan Shao for the north is none other than Han Zhan.

Guo Jia threw the feather fan on the table and continued to ask: "Envoy, these are just your assumptions, and it is unknown whether they can become reality. Jia wants to ask, what is the strength of the envoy now? ”

Hearing this question, Han Zhan smiled bitterly, and then said: "Sheguo County has few soldiers, shallow moats, and low cities, so there is an urgent need to hang upside down, and there is a danger of exhaustion. ”

Han Zhan's words confused Guo Jia: "Since the situation is so bad, why did the envoy tell Geng Wu Min Chun and the others that they would be able to regain Jizhou within three and five years?" ”

"Alas~!" Han Zhan let out a long sigh, and then said, "If it weren't for that, how could Zhan be able to get the support of his father's old department, and would Brother Feng Xiao think that Zhan alone and the like would be enough to compete with the Yuan clan?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head after hearing this, and then said his thoughts: "Sheguo County, where the envoy is located, although the land is barren and the people are poor, but it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the envoy Jun is assisted by Xun's uncle and nephew, he will be able to maintain his glory here, and Jia feels that in a few years, he will at least have the strength to compete with the Yuan family. ”

"Brother Fengxiao's words are wrong." After Han Zhan waited for Guo Jia to finish speaking, he said unexpectedly: "Uncle and cousin stay in Sheguo County, but for the sake of the deceased mother, stay to help Zhan, once you meet the master, the two of them will leave me." ”

Regarding Han Zhan's statement, Guo Jia actually nodded in agreement: "What the envoy said is extremely true, Jia followed Xun's uncle and nephew to Jizhou in the north, just to find a good errand under the command of Lingzun Han Fujun." Who knew that when he arrived in Jizhou, he knew that Jizhou had become the land of the Yuan family. Jiaguan Yuan was not the master, so he insisted on rejecting his official position, preferring to be idle at home rather than being an official under him. ”

Han Zhan waited for Guo Jia to finish speaking, got up and gave a deep salute, and asked respectfully, "I don't know if Brother Feng Xiao is willing to help me?" ”

Guo Jia picked up the wine bowl, leaned close to his nose and sniffed it, and said casually: "Jia is weak and sick, and he has been tired for days and days, and he is a little tired, so I want to rest for a while, so please make you!" ”

Seeing that Guo Jia rejected his invitation, Han Zhan was disappointed, but he felt that it was expected. Liu Bei, as the uncle of the Han Emperor, invited Zhuge Liang three times, he is an unknown junior, how can he succeed at one time if he invites a talent like Guo Jia? So he saluted Guo Jia again: "Since this is the case, Zhan will not disturb Brother Fengxiao to rest, and say goodbye!" ”

Guo Jia waved his hand: "Let you go!" ”

When Han Zhan went down the stairs, he saw that the old bustard was standing at the top of the stairs with his head down, so he coughed lightly, although the old bustard had already seen Han Zhan go out, but because the other party didn't greet him, he didn't dare to go over to say hello casually. Hearing Han Zhan's cough at this moment, he hurriedly greeted him, pretending to be surprised: "Ouch, envoy, why are you leaving so soon, and the slave family hasn't had time to entertain you?" ”

As the eighth aunt spoke, her eyes looked towards the room where Guo Jia was staying, as if she was wondering why the young man, who seemed to be in poor health, didn't leave with the county order?

Han Zhan saw that the corner of the eighth aunt's eyes kept glancing at Guo Jia's room, and said with a smile: "That prince wants to live here for a few people, you can entertain him well." ”

"If you have a life, how dare the slave family disobey." The eighth aunt said with a smile: "The slave family must greet that son with good wine and food every day, and will never treat him badly." ”

Han Zhan looked downstairs and saw that Guo Gongzi had long since disappeared, so he pouted downstairs and asked the eighth aunt: "Eighth aunt, where is the son downstairs who wants to beat me?" The reason why he asked this was because he remembered Zhu Zhen, who almost took his own life, so he had to be vigilant.

"Envoy, you're talking about Guo Pingfan Guo Gongzi, he has already gone home." The eighth aunt was afraid that Han Zhan would blame him for letting Guo Gongzi leave without authorization, and specially explained: "Guo Gongzi's family is a big local family, but he lives in Huguan and rarely comes back, so I don't know the envoy, please don't remember the villain, just bypass him." ”

Hearing that the other party usually lives somewhere else, Han Zhan didn't want to continue to pursue it, he took out a gold cake from his sleeve, threw it to the eighth aunt, and said to him: "Remember, the son in the waiting room for a good life, whatever he asks, try to meet him." If the money is not enough, send someone to the county office to get it. Do you understand? ”

"Clearly," the eighth aunt nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice: "The slave family must remember the words of the envoy and serve that son comfortably." If you hear the prince complaining, you will send someone to remove the slave's head. ”

Hearing the eighth aunt's assurance, Han Zhan just laughed, and then walked away.
