Three Kingdoms King of the North

When crossing the river yesterday, Huahu mentioned this matter to Han Zhan, but Han Zhan changed the subject.Unexpectedly, Guo Jia brought up the old matter again today, Han Zhan coughed twice, and said with some embarrassment: "Feng Xiao, we are here today to meet with Zhang Yang, and don't mention other things for now."

"Understood." Seeing that Han Zhan's face was blushing, Guo Jia said understandingly, "Let's go meet Zhang Yang first. As for the matter of taking a concubine, it won't be too late to discuss it when we come back."

After inspecting the pergola where they met, Han Zhan led the people back.

While waiting to board the boat by the river, Rob came to Han Zhan, summoned up his courage and said to Han Zhan, "My lord, do you know everything?"

"What's the matter?" Rob's nonsensical words made Han Zhan startled, and then he understood what was going on when Rob asked, and couldn't help but smile: "That's right, that's right, Feng Xiao has already told Ben Hou. "

Rob asked this because he watched Guo Jia and Han Zhan whispering from a distance, and was afraid that his little secret would be leaked, so he came to Han Zhan to find out.Unexpectedly, his worries were not superfluous, and Guo Jia had already told Han Zhan about his little privacy.

Seeing Rob's embarrassed face, Han Zhan raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder twice, saying, "Don't worry, when I get back to Yecheng, I will ask Doctor Hua and Doctor Zhang to treat you for you. With the two The medical skills of a miraculous doctor, within a month, are guaranteed to make you alive and well, and at that time, Ba Gu can't get out of bed again."

Rob was shattered by what Han Zhan said, and knowing that he would be able to regain his glory in the near future, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he just smirked at Han Zhan.

When the group returned to the county government, Guo Jia and Dian Wei began to discuss how many soldiers and horses should be sent to guard tomorrow.According to Dian Wei's idea, for the sake of safety, all the [-] cavalry brought out from Yecheng this time were taken with him, so that even if Zhang Yang came up with any tricks, he could deal with them calmly.

In order to get Han Zhan to agree to bring all the soldiers and horses with him, Dian Wei went to persuade Han Zhan, "Master, if you bring all three thousand cavalry, don't say that Zhang Yang brings the same number of soldiers and horses, it will count as ten times as many. A certain person is also confident that they will be wiped out."

Regarding Dian Wei's statement, Han Zhan didn't think he was bragging at all.Since the cavalry in Jizhou was equipped with high and low saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry has increased exponentially.Even if they meet Gongsun Zan's proud Baima Yicong, let alone one-on-one, even one-on-two, one-on-three, they are sure to win.

But tomorrow's meeting with Zhang Yang is for the sake of friendship between the two sides, not for war. If he takes three thousand cavalry to show off his power, it may arouse Zhang Yang's disgust.Thinking of this, Han Zhan shook his head and said, "No, Ben Hou will meet Zhang Yang tomorrow, and only two hundred cavalry are enough. Also, Feng Xiao and Luo Bu can go with Ben Hou. You and Hua Hu stay on the east bank .”

"My lord," Dian Wei became impatient when he heard that Han Zhan said he would not let him go, "You have only 200 people with you, what should you do if something unexpected happens?"

"Don't worry, even if something happens, two hundred cavalry will be enough to cover the Marquis out of danger." In order to reassure Dian Wei, Han Zhan then said to him: "Tomorrow you and Huahu will lie in ambush on the east bank of the Zhang River. There will be two flag bearers on the west bank, and if something happens, both flag bearers will wave the flag at the same time. If you see two flags waving at the same time on the west bank, immediately cross the river and come to the rescue."

Knowing that Han Zhan did not abandon himself, but let himself stay on the east bank to wait for orders, Dian Wei smiled again, and he quickly and loudly agreed: "Your subordinate obeys orders."

Guo Jia waited for Dianwei to leave, and said to Han Zhan with a smile: "My lord, General Ziman is worried about your safety. If you really let him stay in the city, you will definitely kill him. That's good too." , Let him go to the river to enjoy the breeze, and he will feel more at ease in his heart."

Chapter 345 The Mastermind Behind

"There are more than [-] soldiers beside him," Han Zhan stood on the fishing boat and looked into the distance. To Fan Si's question, he could only say vaguely: "It should be fine."

Having said that, Han Zhan's heart is actually in his throat. Guo Jia is one of the top strategists in the Three Kingdoms. Before Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi came out, he was the existence that crushed all strategists. If he died here for no reason , that is simply a big loss.

The first two hundred cavalrymen to cross the river were led by Dian Wei himself.He didn't wait for the cavalry to assemble, he waved the double halberds in his hand, and rushed towards the group of bandits.The cavalry who had just disembarked saw that Dian Wei had already rushed up, so how could they stay still, and rushed up in a mess.

Don't look at the cavalry brought by Han Zhan, they are now fighting with the sneak attacking bandits. The two sides are fighting inextricably. That's because those cavalry have lost their sprint speed, so they can't gain the upper hand in the battle in a short time.Although the cavalry brought by Ke Dianwei were in a messy formation, they had already increased their horse speed to the limit. As soon as they rushed into the formation formed by the bandits, the huge impact of the horses knocked out the bandits who blocked the way. The soldiers hit and flew.A few survived by luck, turned around and wanted to escape, but their two legs could not run faster than the four legs of a war horse. The cavalry rushed up and killed them all.

After killing this group of thieves, Dian Wei rushed to another place with the cavalry.Coincidentally, the place where Dian Wei rushed was exactly where Guo Jia and some twenty cavalrymen were. They were surrounded by bandit soldiers twice as many in number. With the sound of horseshoes and shouts of killing, Guo Jia carefully inspected it. After seeing clearly that it was Dian Wei, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Our reinforcements are here!"

The thieves who besieged Guo Jia and the others killed and wounded more than [-] cavalrymen when they fired arrows. Although they were large in number, they not only did not take advantage, but were killed more than a dozen .At this moment, seeing a cavalry rushing aggressively, they all turned around and fled where they dared to fight.

Seeing that the bandits started to flee, the cavalry didn't chase after them, but surrounded Guo Jia, and a group of bandits appeared from somewhere around him.They all knew in their hearts that Guo Jia was the most important person to the lord, and even if they lost their lives, they must not let Mr. Guo hurt a single hair.

Dian Wei rushed in front of Guo Jia with a group of cavalry, and he ordered others to continue chasing the fleeing bandits, but he stopped his horse and asked Guo Jia anxiously: "Mr. Feng Xiao, my lord where?"

"General Ziman, we were scattered by the bandits just now." Hearing Dian Wei's question, Guo Jia said with some shame: "I vaguely saw that the Lord seems to be walking towards the river alone."

Hearing what Guo Jia said, Dian Wei turned his horse's head and wanted to turn back to find Han Zhan, but was stopped by Guo Jia.He turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and asked in a vicious voice, "What else does Mr. Feng Xiao want?"

"Robu is still at the shed, fighting with bandit soldiers. General Ziman hurry to rescue him. Jia leads the knights around him to the river to find the whereabouts of the lord." After Guo Jia arranged for Dianwei to rescue Rob and the others, Fearing that Dian Wei would be jealous and kill everyone, he specially warned: "You must keep alive."

"I understand!" After Dian Wei said this, he quickly rushed out with his legs clamped on the horse's belly.

As soon as Dian Wei left, Guo Jia urged the knights beside him: "Let's go, let's go to the river to find the lord!"

The party came to the place where the river was crossed, and saw that the boat had returned to the east bank again, carrying the cavalry waiting there.The two flag bearers who had stayed on the bank while crossing the river had already collapsed by the river with their heads in different places.Seeing the body of the banner bearer, Guo Jia's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He was worried about Han Zhan's safety, and quickly told the people around him: "Look around and see if you can find the lord."

When everyone was looking for Han Zhan's whereabouts, the fishing boat he was on was going down the water towards the area where the cavalry gathered.Fan Si thought of the bandits who had just been chased and killed, and asked a little worriedly: "Mr. Han, is it really safe for you to go ashore now?"

"Don't worry, Miss Xiaofan." Han Zhan looked at his savior and said with a smile, "The east bank is all from my lord. As long as you send me there, my lord will be safe."

"Okay, since there are all our own people at the ferry, we will send you there." After Fan Si said this, he turned to the middle-aged fisherman and said, "Daddy, row quickly so that Mr. Han can Meet the people on the shore early."

Coincidentally, when the fishing boat returned to the pier, a boat full of cavalry was about to cross the river. Thinking that Guo Jia was dead or alive, Han Zhan boarded one of the boats and followed the cavalry across the river to find Guo Jia's whereabouts. .

When the boat reached the west bank, when Han Zhan got off the boat, he saw Guo Jia, a hundred paces away, riding on horseback, pointing around with his whip, while cavalrymen came by his side from time to time, and cavalrymen left from time to time. .Han Zhan quickly found a horse and rode it towards Guo Jia's position.

When there were still twenty or thirty steps away, Han Zhan shouted at the top of his voice, "Feng Xiao, Ben Hou is here!"

Guo Jia, who was burning with anxiety, thought he had heard Han Zhan's voice wrongly when he heard Han Zhan's shout.Looking left and right, he was overjoyed to find Han Zhan galloping towards him, and hurriedly urged his horse to meet him.

"Feng Xiao, I feel relieved to see that you are safe and sound." When Guo Jia came to him, Han Zhan grabbed Guo Jia's hands and said with lingering fear: "Just now, this Marquis was afraid that something might happen to you. Woolen cloth."

"My lord, where did you go just now?" Guo Jia pointed to the corpses of the two flag bearers by the river, and said to Han Zhan, "Jia thought something bad happened to you." He raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes tears.

"It's really dangerous just now." Han Zhan said to Guo Jia: "This Marquis ran upstream along the Zhangshui River. If I hadn't met the father and daughter of the Fan family who were fishing, I guess it would be very dangerous at this moment." In a word, Han Zhan changed the subject, "Feng Xiao, do you know who attacked us?"

"Judging from their clothes, they should be from Shangdang." Guo Jia said unhurriedly: "Jia just observed carefully. They dug a hole in advance to hide in, covered it with wooden planks and sprinkled it with soil. This will make it difficult for people to notice. After hearing the signal, lift the wooden board and crawl out from the ground."

Hearing Guo Jia say that these bandits were hiding in the ground, and after hearing the signal, they lifted the boards and climbed out. Han Zhan finally understood why the ground he saw was cracked, and then countless people emerged from it.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Rob found something abnormal, otherwise everyone might lose their lives.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan was so angry that his teeth itched, wishing to tear all those bandit soldiers to pieces.He hesitated for a moment, and then continued to ask: "Feng Xiao, do you think they were sent by Zhang Yang?"

"Zhang Yang?!" After repeating the name, Guo Jia shook his head and said, "We have already made an appointment with him to meet today. With his personality, how could he arrange a group of people to ambush here before the meeting? Yi Jiazhi See, the mastermind behind the scenes must be someone else."

"Who could it be?" After hearing Guo Jia's words, Han Zhan began to think about who was going to put himself to death.He tentatively asked: "Could it be that Zhang Yang's subordinates did it?"

"It's possible." Guo Jia nodded and replied, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that our meeting with Zhang Yang was probably for the purpose of forming an alliance. Some people don't want to see us form an alliance, so they come out." This is the worst strategy, to ambush people in advance to deal with us."

Han Zhan thought that many of his soldiers died in this attack, and he was almost in an accident, so he gritted his teeth and said, "If this lord knows who the mastermind behind the scenes is, this lord will definitely tear him into pieces." .”

"My lord, please don't worry." Guo Jia tried to force a smile on his face and said, "Jia has ordered General Ziman to keep a few alive, so that we can find out who is trying to put us to death."

The second platoon and the third batch of cavalry who crossed the river joined Dian Wei's assault troops one after another, and defeated the bandits who were already at the end of their strength.In less than an hour, except for a dozen captured, the rest were killed by Dian Wei.

Han Zhan led the fourth batch of cavalry to join Dian Wei's soldiers and horses in front of the shed.Seeing the bandit soldiers kneeling on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs, he asked Dian Wei, "Have you been interrogated?"

Dian Wei nodded, "I have asked, but their mouths are very strict, and no one will confess. My lord, can you kill them all?"

"If we kill all the people, how will we know who the main messenger is?" Dian Wei's proposal was rejected by Han Zhan without hesitation.

Seeing that Han Zhan disagreed with his proposal, Dian Wei asked with some embarrassment: "My lord, but they are not willing to confess, what should we do?"

"It's not easy." Han Zhan pouted at Guo Jian, who was beside him, and said to Dian Wei, "Mr. Feng Xiao has always been resourceful, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to come up with a good plan for you."

One word awakened the dreamer, and Han Zhan's words enlightened Dian Weiru.He quickly came to Guo Jia, bowed his hands and asked politely: "Mr. Feng Xiao, dare to ask, is there any good way to make these bandits confess to the mastermind behind it?"

"It's really dangerous just now." Han Zhan said to Guo Jia: "This Marquis ran upstream along the Zhangshui River. If I hadn't met the father and daughter of the Fan family who were fishing, I guess it would be very dangerous at this moment." In a word, Han Zhan changed the subject, "Feng Xiao, do you know who attacked us?"

"Judging from their clothes, they should be from Shangdang." Guo Jia said unhurriedly: "Jia just observed carefully. They dug a hole in advance to hide in, covered it with wooden planks and sprinkled it with soil. This will make it difficult for people to notice.
