On the morning of three days later, Han Zhan took Huang Zhong and 5,000 cavalry to escort 50,000 people from Chang'an and marched in the direction of Yecheng. Guo Jia, Xun You, Xu Shu and others sent him to the city gate, and before parting, Han Zhan repeatedly told the three of them: "In the past few days, 50,000 or 60,000 people have signed up, and you want to escort them all safely to the Jizhou border, and the responsibility on your shoulders is not light." ”

"Please rest assured," Guo Jia said to Han Zhan, "Jia and the princes must live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Han Zhan looked at the three strategists in front of him, thinking in his heart, these are the most outstanding strategists in the Three Kingdoms era, if even they can't handle these things, then who else can do it? So he didn't say anything more, just arched his hand towards the three of them, turned over the war horse, and took Chen Zhi and the others to catch up with Huang Zhong in front.

After a five-day trek, the army came to Hangu Pass. Looking at the banner with the word "Han" floating on the pass from afar, Han Zhan said with emotion: "If Han Sheng and Dong Guozhang did not seize this pass in time, it is estimated that my Jizhou army is still trapped in the east of the pass and cannot advance an inch, let alone the defeat of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others in Beijing." ”

Hearing Han Zhan's praise, Huang Zhong hurriedly said modestly: "The lord has won the award, and Huang doesn't dare to take credit." Our army was able to capture Hangu Pass, and Dong Guozhang contributed a lot. ”

Dong Cheng, who was sent to guard the Yuhan Valley Pass not long ago, heard that Han Zhan had brought people here, and hurriedly went out of the customs to greet him. Still far away, Dong Cheng bowed down and saluted: "Subordinates see the lord!" The lord is tired of saddle horses all the way, and let's go into the customs to rest. ”

Although Han Zhan had been riding on a horse, he still felt a little tired after several days of driving. Since Dong Cheng wanted to enter the customs by himself, he agreed to it.

In the Guard's Mansion, Dong Cheng set up a banquet for Han Zhan to wash the dust, and at the same time asked Han Zhan how he arranged his next step. He first raised the wine bottle and toasted Han Zhan with a bottle of wine, and then asked tentatively: "The lord has moved the people of Chang'an to Jizhou, I don't know how to think about this Hanguguan?" ”

Don't look at Dong Cheng didn't ask directly, how do you plan to place me? But Han Zhan still heard the sound from his words, and hurriedly said: "Now Chang'an and Luoyang are already sparsely populated, and it doesn't matter whether Hangu guards or not. After the people of Chang'an were evacuated, Dong Guozhang also led his troops to abandon this place and return to Yecheng. ”

Hearing that Han Zhan planned to let him return to Yecheng, Dong Cheng was overjoyed, he hurriedly got up and bowed to Han Zhan, and said, "In this way, Dong will thank the lord." As soon as the people of Chang'an were withdrawn, Dong set fire to the pass and withdrew to Yecheng with the army. ”

Regarding Dong Cheng's statement that he was preparing to burn Hangu Pass, Han Zhan did not raise any objections. He thought to himself, anyway, there will be no people in this ghost place for more than ten or twenty years, and there is really no need to keep people guarding here, and it is the easiest thing to burn it down, so as not to have a strong man occupy this matter and do evil.

After drinking for a while, Dong Cheng suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Lord, there are a few old friends under him, and they are Bai Boshuai's subordinates in the past." The subordinates plan to recruit them to join the Jizhou Army, but I don't know what the lord wants? ”

As soon as he heard Bai Boshuai, Han Zhan knew that it was the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, so he didn't immediately express his position, but asked rhetorically: "Dong Guozhang, I don't know which old friends they are, why don't you tell me about it?" ”

"They are Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai." Dong Cheng saw that the expression on Han Zhan's face did not change when he heard Bai Boshuai, and hurriedly continued: "There are about forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses under their command, if they can recruit under their command, the strength of the Jizhou army can be greatly strengthened." ”

If it were someone else, I would have heard that there were forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses joining, and I would definitely be happy to not find the north. But Han Zhan considered that these people were all remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, and the members in it were uneven, and if they accepted it rashly, they might have an impact on the image of the Jizhou Army. Therefore, it is inevitable to hesitate.

Seeing that Han Zhan didn't answer for a long time, the expression on Dong Cheng's face looked a little embarrassed. Before he said this, he had carefully considered it, and according to his experience, any lord with the ambition of hegemony would immediately behave with joy when he heard that forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses had joined. After hearing this, Han Zhan's expression became solemn regardless of whether he was happy or not. He asked tentatively, "My lord, it doesn't matter if you don't want to accept them, your subordinates just refuse them." ”

Although Han Zhan was a little reluctant to contain this group of soldiers and horses, he thought about it for a while, if he ignored this group of soldiers and horses and allowed them to operate in the Jizhou territory, sooner or later he would become a disaster. Rather than sending troops to wipe them out in the future, it's better to take them under your command for the time being and reorganize them. Thinking of this, Han Zhan nodded at Dong Cheng and said, "Since it is recommended by the national abbot, it must not be too bad." But I wonder how the prince plans to contact them? ”

Seeing that Han Zhan agreed to contain Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai and others, Dong Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, hearing that Han Zhan was anxious to see the three of them, he hurriedly said: "Lord, it is a coincidence, the three of them came to this pass yesterday and said that they wanted to meet the lord. I wonder if the lord can see the three of them now? ”

"Dong Guozhang, since the three of them are in your mansion, why don't you let them come and meet them earlier." Han Zhan smiled and said to Dong Cheng, "Hurry up and invite them to come out to meet." ”

Dong Cheng confessed his guilt to Han Zhan, got up and walked into the back hall. After a moment's effort, three generals with helmets and armor were brought out from inside. Under the leadership of Dong Cheng, the three of them came to Han Zhan, and at the same time hugged their fists and saluted: "Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai have seen Tinghou!" ”

"Three generals are exempt!" Han Zhan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, and then said to Dong Cheng: "Dong Guozhang, please instruct your subordinates to prepare wine and food for the three generals, and Ben Hou wants to have a drink with them." ”

After everyone sat down, Han Zhan carefully recalled the history of the three people in his mind, according to the record of the popular science book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the three of them were the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, especially Li Le, who was even more of a generation of people who gathered in the mountains and forests, if it weren't for the fact that there were no soldiers available, Dong Cheng and the others would not have recruited them.
