Luoyang City, the state pastoral mansion.

In the study, King Han painted with his own brush, painting a remnant chrysanthemum in winter.

Although he is in the cold winter and his body is broken, he is still noble and unchanging, and King Han, who is a celebrity, has always boasted of his character.

"Husband, take a break and drink hot water~"

A young, beautiful and plump woman outside the screen entered the screen, it was Han Zhaofu's princess Shi Jinglu.

The sideburns are lined with beads, the eyes are like stars and the moon, and the fat window powder can distinguish people, and it is slightly charming.

King Han has been king from the time when he was torn apart, and now he has no ambition and is extremely decadent, and it is inevitable that he has the credit of Princess Shi Jinglu.

Han Zhaofu raised his glass and drank lightly, looking down at the masterpiece that was about to be completed on the case, and the old man's face was smug.

Shi Jinglu looked at her husband's masterpiece for a long time, and praised: "The remnant chrysanthemum painted by the husband is very temperamental, and the withered fallen leaves everywhere are even more noble and noble of the remnant chrysanthemum, which is really a masterpiece." ”

Hearing his wife's praise, Han Zhaofu became more and more proud, and said with a smile: "It's really rare that Madame can understand the meaning of my painting, my painting hasn't been named yet, so it's better for Madame to think of one." ”

Shi Jinglu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she thought hard for a long time, and the corners of her mouth raised a shallow smile.

"This painting might as well be called 'the person in the painting', I don't know what the husband wants?"

"The person in the painting...... Well, yes, yes, just Mrs. ”

Han Zhaofu nodded his head to express his satisfaction, and then picked up his pen and wrote four timeless characters in the blank space of the painting.

Although the painting was completed, Han Zhaofu felt a little dissatisfied, so he picked up his pen and repaired it carefully.

Shi Jinglu was serving beside her, and asked casually: "I heard that Fujun has sent 20,000 troops to attack Na Xu Han, seeing Fujun's calm and relaxed appearance, is it possible that he is already confident?" ”

Shi Jinglu was born in a famous family, and she is also the sister-in-law of the general of Luoyang.

However, she is nominally Shici's aunt, but her actual age is in her early thirties, eight years younger than Shici's age.

"That Xu Han is just a warrior at the end of the road, this time it is Shi Ci and Rui An who are in charge of the army, these two are the heads of the martial arts under my command, and the two of them join forces, and there is no reason to win."

Han Zhaofu's tone was extremely confident, and he swayed freely when he spoke, completely ignoring Xu Han.

Shi Jinglu said "um", but said again: "Of course it's good to have a nephew and Mr. Rui come out, but the concubine heard that Xu Han is also very good, and he once defeated the Prince of Xuanguo, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with." ”

"Humph!" Han Zhaofu sneered, "That's just a fluke for him, doesn't Madam think that I can't even clean up a martial artist with less than 10,000 soldiers?" ”

Han Zhaofu's words were vaguely unhappy, and he seemed to be dissatisfied with Shi Jinglu's questioning.

Shi Jinglu's eyebrows moved slightly, and she smiled busily: "How can it be, the ability of the husband, can the concubine body still be unclear, how can it be compared to Xu Han." ”

A hint of pride appeared on Han Zhaofu's old face, and he was satisfied.

Shi Jinglu's voice fell, the footsteps suddenly left, and a guard hurried in.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, there is an urgent report from the front, and the two lords Shi and Rui have returned defeated!"

Bang!

The pen in his hand fell suddenly, and Han Zhaofu's whole person froze there, and infinite horror instantly surged in his shocked expression.

"Shi Ci and Rui An joined forces, more than 20,000 troops, how could they be defeated by Xu Han, how is this possible, impossible!"

Han Zhaofu roared in surprise, and his panicked expression burst out with a look of suspicion.

"It was Xu Han who defeated Xuan Guoxiao Zhennan first, and then took a small road to burn the grain in the fortress, and the two adults had to withdraw their troops, and they were ambushed by Xu Han halfway, so they ......"

First defeated Xiao Zhennan, then attacked the fortress, and then Fu Rui and Shi, just a few days apart, hundreds of miles apart, that Xu Han was able to do this!

This Xu Han, is it a man or a devil?

His heart was terrified and frightened, and Han Zhaofu's expression in fright became more and more distorted, so frightened that the attendant didn't dare to say any more.

The old body shook suddenly, and it looked like it was about to fall.

Shi Jinglu was startled, and hurriedly helped Han Zhaofu to sit down.

Unable to accept such cruel facts for a while, Han Zhaofu was in a trance, and kept muttering: "How is it possible, how can it be ......"

Shi Jinglu had to be patiently comforted, but she secretly thought in her heart: "This Xu Han is so amazing with soldiers, I don't know what he looks like, I really want to see him." ”

After a long period of panic.

Han Zhaofu had just recovered from the fright, and heard that Shi and Rui had been defeated and returned to Luoyang, so he was anxious to spread the news that the two of them had come to meet each other.

Half an hour later, Han Zhaofu staggered into the lobby with Shi Jinglu's support.

Rui and Shi stood there with a disgraced face, and when they saw Han Zhaofu entering, they quickly lowered their heads and stood solemnly, not daring to face it.

"Rui'an, when you persuaded this king to send troops before, didn't you say that Xu Han would definitely be defeated, but what now! Xiao Zhennan and you were defeated by him in a few days, I really can't understand, how did Xu Han do it, what the hell is going on? ”

Han Zhaofu couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and asked loudly.

At this time, the exact information had been transmitted back, and the two had to silently tell the cause and effect.

The two of them also knew that their army of 20,000 was frightened by Xu Han's bluff of 500 ambush soldiers, and they were ashamed in their hearts, so they hid this ugly incident and did not report it.

Han Zhaofu, who learned the truth, sat there weakly like a deflated ball, completely losing his temper.

"I knew that Xu Han was like a god, so I wouldn't be an enemy of him, alas!"

Han Zhaofu, who had been silent for a long time, shook his head and sighed, his expression was full of remorse, and there was a deep fear of Xu Han.

The two of them glanced at each other, and Shi Ci arched his hand and said: "Xu Han's defeat of Xiao Zhennan doesn't matter for the time being, his subordinates think that he dared to sneak attack the fortress with five hundred soldiers and horses, and ambushed our army halfway, someone must have secretly revealed to him the truth of our army, so he dared to be so rampant." ”

Han Zhaofu's expression changed, and he said angrily: "There are spies in my state, do you know who revealed his military information to that Xu Han?" ”

Shi Ci glanced at Rui'an, as if the two had discussed it beforehand.

"When the king wanted to send troops before, Na Yixian took advantage of his strength to stop it, looking at this person's words, he admired Xu Han very much, and the person who sent Qianyang this time was him, so his subordinates speculated that the person who secretly communicated with Xu Han must be this person."

Hearing this, Han Zhaofu's wrinkled old face twitched faintly, and he couldn't help but recall in his mind that after forming an alliance with Xu Han, Xu Han's respectful words to Yi Xiancheng at the time of parting.

At that time, Han Zhaofu was already secretly suspicious, and at this time, after Rui'an's analysis, the suspicion in his heart suddenly became a confirmed fact.

Han Zhaofu couldn't help but be furious, and scolded: "What a Yi Xian, this king treats him well, he dares to betray this king, it's really hateful, come on, quickly put Yi Xian in prison and torture him severely!" ”

At this time, Han Zhaofu put all his anger on Yi Xiancheng, and the two of them glanced at each other, and a look of relief flashed in their eyes.

Although Han Zhaofu sent Yi Xian to prison, he was terrified by Xu Han's greatness and did not dare to send troops to face him.

So the next day, Han Zhaofu sent the lobbyist Yan Nian to Qianyang to communicate with Xu Han, stating that he sincerely wanted to help Xu Han break the enemy, and the conflict between the two sides was a complete misunderstanding.

Qianyang, too guarded mansion.

"I have admired Mr. Yan's name for a long time, and I don't know what wind blew Mr. here."

Yan Nian is a famous person of the Yan family among the five surnames, Xu Han knows what Yan Nian means here, but he is pretending not to know.

Yan Nian said with a dry smile: "There were some conflicts between our army and the general's subordinates before, and the king of my family wanted to form an alliance with the general, and the two families would become one, how could they have a problem with each other, so he specially ordered the subordinate to explain the misunderstanding to the general." ”

"Misunderstanding? Hum! ”

Xu Leng snorted, and his originally peaceful expression suddenly flashed a trace of gloom.

Yan Nian was already apprehensive, but now that he saw Xu Han's anger, he was even more uneasy, and a layer of cold sweat quietly soaked out of his forehead.

"You 20,000 soldiers and horses, forcing the city to go down, obviously want to attack the city, do you think you will be blind?" Xu Han drank suddenly.

When Xu Han asked, Cheng Ping, who was standing next to him, also had angry eyes, and his fingers clenching the big knife gurgled, looking like he was going to chop Yan Nian into meat sauce.

Yan Nian was so frightened that he hurriedly laughed and said: "The general is angry, this is really just a misunderstanding, as for General Shi, they didn't withdraw in time, maybe they were still on the way to ask the king, who wanted to be a general, and he defeated Xiao Zhennan so quickly." ”

Yan Nian is quibbling again, and he is patting Xu Han's sycophants, where is there any celebrity fan.

Xu Han smiled secretly in his heart.

In fact, he didn't plan to turn his face with Han Zhaofu at the moment, so "intimidating" Yan Nian was nothing more than wanting to get some oil and water from Han Zhaofu back, and he couldn't let Han Zhaofu betray the alliance in vain.

Hearing Yan Nian's trembling defense, Xu Han's expression gradually softened a little.

"So, it's really a misunderstanding."

Yan Nian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "This is naturally a misunderstanding, although this is the case, but my king is also deeply disturbed, and specially ordered the subordinate to apologize to the general." ”

The corners of Xu Han's mouth slanted, and he said unhappily: "The general thought that King Han was going to attack the alliance and had to conquer the new Ding Zhuang City, I don't know how much money was spent, and King Han wanted to apologize and get rid of it." ”

Xu Han is "extorting" food from Han Zhaofu.

The territory under the jurisdiction of King Han is like a mountain, and there are countless talents under his jurisdiction, and he is simply sitting on a golden mountain, Xu Han not only wants to warp the corner of Han Zhaofu's talents, but also asks for his food.

Yan Nian immediately understood, and said: "What the general means, the lower official understands, in terms of food, the king of my family can do his best to make up for the general's loss." ”

"Since King Han is so generous, let's send 200,000 grains." Xu Han waved his hand, not polite at all.

"Two hundred thousand Hu!"

Yan Nian gasped, and was very surprised by Xu Han's lion opening.

200,000 grains, in non-war periods, but 10,000 soldiers were allowed to eat for more than four months.

Even if Han Zhaofu is rich, 200,000 grains are enough to make him suffer for a few days, and Xu Han is obviously going to eat a big family.

Seeing that Yan Nian seemed to be hesitant, Xu Han's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice: "It's only 200,000 grains, and King Han is unwilling to give it, how can he show his sincerity." Since this is the case, the general had no choice but to personally lead the troops to Luoyang to get it. ”

As soon as he heard that Xu Han threatened to send troops to attack Luoyang, Yan Nian panicked all of a sudden.

Although Han Zhaofu has 100,000 people, but now he has been defeated by Xu Han one after another, his morale has been greatly reduced, and he has no courage to fight Xu Han again.

"The general misunderstood, isn't it just 200,000 grains, how can my king be reluctant." Yan Nian immediately agreed happily for Han Zhaofu.

Xu Han was satisfied, and nodded slightly: "King Han is sincere, then please tell King Han that once the food is delivered, the previous misunderstanding will be written off, and I, Xu Han, am still his most determined ally." ”

Elder Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and his back was already wet.

When he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly remembered something, so he sneered again: "There is one more thing, since the misunderstanding has been explained clearly, I wonder if the general can release General Linghu Qiu?" ”

Linghu Qiu is Han Zhaofu's in-law, and now that he has been captured by Xu Han, Han Zhaofu naturally has to rush to rescue.

If Yan Nian didn't mention it, Xu Han almost forgot that he still had such a captive, and when he was about to let go, Xu Han's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered something extremely important.

He asked rhetorically: "Don't say anything about Ling Hu's revenge, I will hear that Mr. Yi was imprisoned by King Han, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Yan Nian didn't know why Xu Han suddenly mentioned Yi Xiancheng, and nodded blankly.

Xu Han said loudly in a commanding tone: "If King Han wants to make the fox revenge, then exchange it for Mr. Yi." ”

Yi Xiancheng has a lot of connections in Luoyang, and Xu Han is lacking such a talent.

In fact, as early as the first time he met, Xu Han was thinking about how to dig this person from Han Zhaofu, and now that Han Zhaofu took the initiative to create an opportunity for himself, Xu Hanyan could let it go.

When Yan Nian heard this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed, "Yixian committed the crime of dereliction of duty and should be interrogated, is this request of the general a bit difficult for a strong man?" ”

Yi Xiancheng is Han Zhaofu's subordinate, and now Xu Han openly asks Han Zhaofu to release him, of course Han Zhaofu can't get over in terms of face.

"Ben General doesn't care what crime Yi Xiancheng has committed, in short, if King Han wants to make the fox revenge, he can only exchange this person, otherwise he won't talk about it." Xu Han flicked his sleeves, and his tone was categorical.

Yan Nian was shocked again, and in desperation, he had to agree to ask Han Zhaofu for instructions.

After some "blackmail", Xu Han also had to spend more time with Yan Nian, so he sent him away.
