Guangping City is only half a day away from Jizhou, but Han Zhan did not send troops to attack Yuan Shao in a hasty way, but continued to stay in Guangping to appease the people and rectify the newly reorganized Yuan Shao's surrendered troops.

After seeing the information from Jizhou, Han Zhan summoned Guo Jia and Xun You to the main hall and asked them for advice: "Fengxiao, Gongda, there are now 10,000 elite soldiers from Yuan Shao and the powerful general Yan Liang in Jizhou City. When should we conquer Jizhou?"

"Yuan Shao has 10,000 elite troops, and our army's strength is only 10,000. It is not easy to seize Jizhou." Xun You shook his head and said, "If the troops led by Yuan Tan return to support, we will be in a situation of being attacked from both sides. Therefore, I think it is the most appropriate time to wait until Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan start the war, and we will send troops to capture Jizhou again."

"What Gongda said is a safe plan." Guo Jia continued: "As far as Jia knows, Yan Liang's courage is not inferior to Zhao Yun and Dian Wei. If it is a field battle, our army may be able to fight and win. Once Yuan Shao can't stand it, our army will fall into an unfavorable situation."

"If Zhang Yan's army arrives," Han Zhan and others expressed their opinions, and also talked about their own opinions: "Our two armies will have more troops than Yuan Shao. At that time, they will have a strong attack on Jizhou, and there may be a chance of success."

"The little marquis thought things too simple." Guo Jia waved his hand at Han Zhan and said, "Don't look at Yuan Tan, Wen Chou and others only brought 10,000 troops to fight Hu Zhi and Chang's army, but their chances of winning are much higher than those of the Black Mountain Army."

Han Zhan was stunned at first, and then he realized that Yuan Shao's army had a small number of soldiers, but they were all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and they could be ten; while the Black Mountain Army seemed to have a large number of people, but lacked training. To put it bluntly, it was a group of mobs. A group of wild wolves were enough to defeat sheep several times their number. Now, there is a relationship between the Yuan army and the Black Mountain Army.

"Fengxiao, what should we do?" Han Zhan humbly asked Guo Jia: "Does we really have to wait until Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan start the war at Jieqiao before we attack Jizhou?"

"The only military general under Yuan Shao's army is Yan Liang," Guo Jia frowned and said, "If we can use tricks to make them suspicious of each other, then even if Gongsun Zan does not attack Jieqiao in the short term, we have hope of defeating Yuan Shao."

"What strategy?" Han Zhan asked curiously.

Guo Jia shook the feather fan in his hand and said with a smile: "A plan to disagree!"

"A plan of separation?" Guo Jia's words immediately aroused Han Zhan's intense interest. He quickly asked, "I wonder how Fengxiao is preparing to implement this plan?"

Guo Jia did not answer immediately, but asked back: "I heard that the little marquis and Yan Liang have some friendship. I wonder if this is the case?"

"That's right," Han Zhan nodded and said with certainty: "Yan Liang and I do have some friendship. After I was assassinated at Julu camp, Yuan Shao was worried that my fault would affect his capture of Jizhou, so he sent Yan Liang to protect me. Later, when Zhu Han led his troops to surround my house, Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang to lead his troops to rescue his family with me..."

Guo Jia patiently listened to Han Zhan’s explanation, and the smile on his face became even stronger: “In this way, Yan Liang and you have a very good relationship, so we will have a greater grasp of our success in the plan.”

Han Zhan remembered that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there were two successful plans for the disagreement. One was that Cao Cao disagrees between Ma and Han Sui, causing the two to turn against each other; the other was that Zhuge Liang disagrees with the Lord of Wei and Sima Yi, which made the Lord of Wei worry that Sima Yi would rebel, so he could only hide his military power.

He thought to himself that if this plan of disagreement is successful, when Luo Guanzhong writes the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the future, three successful plan of disagreement will appear in the book.

Thinking of this, he smiled and asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, what do I need to do?"

"Please write a letter to Yan Liang, so you don't have to write anything in the letter, just write some greetings..."

When Han Zhan heard this, he couldn't help laughing, thinking that this was not a plot of Cao Cao's separation from horses and Han Sui? So before Guo Jia finished speaking, he continued: "Would the words "Fengxiao" be vague in the middle, and to modify them on the vital points, and then sent someone to marshal Yan Liang and deliberately let Yuan Shao know about this.

Yuan Shao is a narrow-minded person and suspicious person. When he sees all the important points in the letters, he will guess that Yan Liang is afraid that he knows something secret, so he deliberately erases it. In this way, Yuan Shao will inevitably be suspicious of Yan Liang."

After hearing Han Zhan's words, Guo Jia held the feather and slapped for a while, then raised a thumbs up and said with praise: "The little marquis is indeed extremely intelligent, and his thoughts are consistent with Jia. That's right, Jia is thinking that way. Without further ado, please write a letter immediately, and Jia will send someone to Jizhou as soon as possible."

For Han Zhan, such a letter was better. In just one stick of incense, a letter that was enough to make Yuan Shao suspicious of Yan Liang was finished. Guo Jia took it and looked at it, then nodded and said, "It's not bad. If Yuan Shao saw this letter from the little marquis, he would definitely have suspicion of Yan Liang."

When Xun You took the letter and was about to find a reliable person to deliver it, he was stopped by Han Zhan. Han Zhan reminded him: "My cousin, tell the sender that after arriving in Jizhou, he must pretend to be sneaky and panic, and let the defenders in the city catch him, and then let him explain to the person who arrested him that he was here to deliver a letter to Yan Liang. I believe that it won't take long before Yuan Shao will know that someone sent a letter to Yan Liang."

"Mr. Marquis, don't worry." Xun You replied with a smile: "I will definitely pass your words to the sender, so that Yuan Shao can know about our sender as soon as possible."

…………

The next afternoon, a message suddenly spread in Jizhou City that Han Zhan, who was stationed in Guangping City, sent a letter to Yan Liang, the general under Yuan Cheji.

After hearing the news, Feng Ji immediately ran to the provincial governor's office to report to Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao did not believe it verbally, he still sent people to inquire outside. As expected, the situation was the same as Feng Ji's report.

Feng Ji took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and said, "Lord, I'm not wrong. The Han family's child really sent a letter to General Yan Liang. You should call General Yan Liang over quickly and see what the Han family's child wrote in the letter."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao immediately called a guard and told him: "Call Yan Liang to me immediately!"

Not long after, Yan Liang appeared in front of Yuan Shao. He went forward and saluted and asked, "Lord, I wonder what's the point of asking Yan Liang to come here?"

"I heard that the Han family sent someone to send you a letter," Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang whom he trusted the most and asked coldly: "Is there anything wrong?"

"But there is this," Yan Liang was straightforward. When he heard Yuan Shao's question, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "The letter is here, please check it out."

Yuan Shao took the letter and saw that there were many smearing places on it. He couldn't help but frown and asked Yan Liang: "Yan Liang, why are there so many places on the letters already smeared?"
