When the sun passed, a group of people appeared due south, and the scout reported that it was King Han's team.

When the two sides were about a hundred paces apart, the brigade of 500 men stopped moving.

Several envoys passed on verbal inquiries back and forth, confirming the identities of both parties.

After a while, Xu Han held his sword in his hand and drove his horse out of his army slowly. On the opposite side, Han Zhaofu was also protected by the five knights, and slowly walked towards Xu Han's side.

The two sides were ten paces away from each other, and they strangled their mounts very tacitly.

Surrounded by everyone, the old man with white hair thought to be Han Zhaofu, the king of Han.

Xu Han's gaze swept around King Han's body, on the surface, Han Zhaofu was very calm, but the hidden fear could not escape Xu Han's eyes.

The guards around King Han were all nervous, staring at Xu Han nervously, as if they were afraid that Xu Han would suddenly change and rush forward to ask for their lives.

"The king of a state, but he is so afraid of a lone general like me, he is really a twilight hero, and it is already in vain......"

Xu Han was disdainful in his heart, but he arched his hand and said: "I have admired the prestige of King Han for a long time, fortunately!" ”

Xu Han's voice was like a bell, and he only said casual kind words, which seemed to hide a dignified deterrence.

Han Zhaofu, who was on the other side, trembled slightly, reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and also smiled: "I have heard for a long time that General Xu is the general of Yiguo, and when I saw it today, he was really heroic." ”

Xu Han laughed, and suddenly turned his horse and walked up a few steps.

It didn't matter if he moved like this, everyone on the other side, including Han Zhaofu, suddenly changed their expressions.

Han Zhaofu thought that Xu Han had bad intentions, and even subconsciously grabbed the reins, planning to turn the horse and leave.

Shi Ci, who was accompanying him, was also startled, and quickly held down the sword.

Only Yi Xiancheng, who was a little later, looked calm and was not afraid.

Xu Han sneered in his heart and said lightly: "King Han, don't be afraid, I just want to get closer so that it is convenient to talk to the king." ”

As he spoke, Xu Han had already restrained his mount.

Han Zhaofu's tense nerves eased slightly, and when he saw that Xu Han only had a portable sword and didn't even wear armor, he breathed a sigh of relief, but a layer of cold sweat had already soaked out of his forehead.

But Na Shici still held his sword tightly, not daring to slack off a little.

The panicked appearance of the people in Luoyang City formed a stark contrast to Xu Han's leisurely and calm appearance.

"This General Xu dared to come alone, he was really bold, King Han had the protection of everyone, and he was so nervous, but he lost to General Xu in terms of courage."

When Yi Xiancheng sighed secretly in his heart, when he looked at Xu Han again, he couldn't help but add a little respect.

Xu Han only moved one step, and Han Zhaofu was nervous like that, with courage and courage, and made a judgment.

"Han Zhaofu's panic and calmness, the five hundred people in Luoyang City present can see it clearly, and I believe that it will spread throughout the entire Luoyang City soon."

Xu Han's goal had been achieved, and he didn't want to waste his expression anymore, so he said loudly: "The details of the alliance, I believe that Mr. Yi has already talked to King Han in detail, if King Han has no objections, let's swear an oath." ”

Han Zhaofu couldn't wait to end this tense scene quickly, and immediately said yes again and again.

It stands to reason that the alliance will either be bloody, or burn incense and bow down and swear to the heavens, but considering Han Zhaofu's vigilance, the ceremony has to be simple.

The two sides immediately made a decision, swore an oath to heaven, and said a word of agreement, and the alliance was completed.

After the alliance ceremony, Xu Han and King Han bargained for a long time about his sphere of influence.

Giving up land is equivalent to cutting meat, King Han is naturally heartbroken, according to his original intention, he only wants to cut the three counties of Qianyang, Chaoyang and Fuyang to Xu Han, and claims that he will do his best to supply Xu Han's military rations.

Xu Han is not so easy to fool.

Although Qianyang is a rich land, the combined population of the three counties is only forty or fifty thousand people, which is not enough to support Xu Han's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention that he plans to continue to expand the army in the future.

If the supply of grain and grass is completely pinned on Han Zhaofu, it is equivalent to handing over his life to the other party, and when necessary, Han Zhaofu can use food to restrain himself at any time.

Obviously, Han Zhaofu alone cannot rely on Han Zhaofu for the food problem, and he must have his own family background.

So Xu Han decisively rejected Han Zhaofu's proposal, and in turn demanded that all the counties of Huaishang County north of the river be placed under his jurisdiction.

Xu Han opened his mouth widely, and Han Zhaofu was not so stupid to agree, and after several bargains, the two sides finally reached a compromise plan.

Seven northern counties, including Qianyang, Chaoyang, Anzhong, and Huyang, were assigned to Xu Han, while Jiangyang, Deng, and Anchang counties, which were closer to the river, were still under the rule of King Han.

Luoyang City has not been in war for a long time, and there are millions of registered households, among which Huaishang is a large county with a large population, and the total population of these seven counties assigned to Xu Han alone is more than 100,000 people.

In this era of drastic population decline, 100,000 people is already a large number, and according to the 1:10 military-civilian limit ratio, 100,000 people are enough to support 10,000 troops.

Besides, these 100,000 people are only registered Dingkou, and I don't know how many of those who are not on the list.

Xu Han was very full of this division, and immediately smiled proudly: "King Han is really a generous person, please rest assured, the king has my Xu Han to help you guard, you just have to let go of Manan Mountain, and sit back and enjoy peace of mind." ”

"With General Xu's words, I am relieved." Han Zhaofu felt bitter in his heart, but he still had to force a smile on his face.

The matter of cutting the land and forming an alliance has been completed, and Xu Han doesn't want to talk too much nonsense with Han Zhaofu, so he asks for his resignation.

Han Zhaofu, who was panicked, was afraid that something would happen outside the festival, and he couldn't wait to get as far away as possible from the tiger and wolf general in front of him, so he immediately said goodbye.

Han Zhaofu, escorted by Shi Ci, turned his horse and the army away.

"Mr. Yi, he has a chance in the future, and Xu has to ask Mr. for more advice." Xu Han bowed to Yi Xian, who was walking behind.

Yi Xian was stunned, and hurriedly arched his hand: "The general's words are serious, how dare you." ”

Xu Han didn't say much, only smiled and watched Yi Xiancheng leave.

Han Zhaofu, who had already turned around, heard this, turned his head to look, and saw the kind expressions of the two, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Xu Han's parting words showed great respect for Yi Xiancheng, but he deliberately showed it to Han Zhaofu, so that Han Zhaofu would be suspicious of Yi Xiancheng and make Han Zhaofu think that Yi Xiancheng had some ulterior conversations with Xu Han in private when he was envoy to Qianyang.

Han Zhaofu's flashing suspicion couldn't escape Xu Han's eyes, he smiled secretly in his heart, turned his horse's head, and walked towards the pious sun.

Five hundred people returned to Qianyang, Xu Han was in a very good mood, and he was already thinking about the next step along the way.

At present, although he has the seven counties of Qianyang and occupies a foothold in Luoyang Prefecture City, Xu Han knows very well that his strength is still very weak compared to the kings of the world, and their strength is far stronger than himself.

However, Xu Han has the heart to maneuver around the forces of all parties, relying on his courage and superhuman insight, to fight for his own world.

"Qianyang has been obtained, the next step is to buy people's hearts, expand the army and train soldiers, gradually encroach on Luoyang, and then reap a few more profits from the battle of Shanchun City......"

Xu Han, who was riding a horse, was planning a blueprint for the future in his mind.

"General, there seems to be a fierce battle ahead!" Cheng Ping's rough voice interrupted Xu Han's train of thought.

He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but saw that on the avenue by the water, there were indeed more than 100 people fighting.

On the two sides of the fight, the one with many people is dressed differently and holds weapons of various colors.

The besieged side was dressed in uniform and surrounded by a carriage.

Xu Han immediately understood that this was most likely a group of robbers who were robbing a passing family.

Under the rule of King Han, the law and order in Luoyang City is still good, and now this group of robbers dares to block the road and rob in broad daylight, just to take advantage of the situation that Qianyang has changed hands and the situation is chaotic, and they will touch a fish in troubled waters.

"General, it should be robbers, let the last general lead a team of soldiers and horses to kill them." Cheng Ping also understood and surrendered to the battle.

Xu Han originally planned to agree and suppress this gang of bandits in order to establish his image of protecting the territory and the people.

However, just as he was about to nod, he suddenly noticed something interesting.

"Let's see."

The corners of Xu Han's mouth raised slightly, and he called the soldiers and horses to station, and only brought Cheng Ping and a few people to move forward.

When he was thirty steps away, Xu Han saw the panorama of the battle clearly.

There were about 70 robbers, and there were only about 20 servants in the big family, and they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers.

But these more than 20 people circled around the carriage, forming horns with each other, helping each other, and the bandits could not attack it for the time being, and when they looked closely, the positions of each of those servants seemed to be very orderly, and there was a faint taste of military formation.

A group of servants, how can they put out a formation, there must be a master to command it.

Xu Han raised his gaze, and soon found that person, and his eyes couldn't help but light up suddenly.

It was a young girl.

With an apricot face and peach cheeks, a beautiful appearance, wearing a royal blue brocade leather jacket, and a piece of mink skin exposed at the neckline, the costume is quite gorgeous.

She stood in the carriage, the wind caressed her hair, fluttering like a butterfly, and the bell tied around her waist made a crisp chime, which was already picturesque.

In the midst of the crowd, she didn't have a trace of fear at all, but calmly gave orders to the servants around her, and killed the robbers who approached again and again.
