After receiving the order, the team leader immediately opened the gate of the village and put Han Zhan into the village.

Han Zhan sat upright in Zhang He's tent and asked Zhang He with a smile: "General Junyi seems unwilling to see this marquis!"

Han Zhan's words reminded Zhang He of the person sitting in front of him, not only the son of the former lord, but also a marquis of the court. He quickly tried to squeeze out a smile on his face: "Zhang only knows that the young master was awarded the title by the court today, congratulations to the young master here."

Although Gao Lan next to him had only seen Han Zhan two or three times, he had always had a good impression of him. At this moment, he saw Zhang He expressing congratulations to the other party, and hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Gaolan has met the Marquis of Zhangshuiting!"

After Zhang He and Gao Lan sat down, they asked Han Zhan lightly: "I wonder if the Marquis of Zhangshuiting came to visit late at night, what can I do if I have any advice?"

"I came here late at night to save the general's life."

After hearing this, Zhang He sneered and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Although Zhang is inexperienced in martial arts, it is not so easy for anyone to take his life on the battlefield."

"General Junyi is very skilled in martial arts, and he certainly has few opponents on the battlefield." Han Zhan asked back: "But if Yuan Shao sent someone to kill you, how will you deal with it?"

"The Marquis of Weixiang has great trust in Zhang, so how could he send someone to take Zhang's life?" Zhang He said unhappily when he heard Han Zhan say this: "Marquis of Zhangshuiting should not be exaggerated."

Seeing Zhang He appear to be seeing off the guests, Han Zhan hurriedly said, "General Junyi, I have a letter here, I believe you will be interested in seeing it." After that, he took out the letter from the sleeve of the robe and handed it to Zhang He. Unexpectedly, Zhang He sat in his original position and did not move. In the end, Gao Lan couldn't see it, so he got up to take the letter and put it in Zhang He's hand.

Zhang He thought it was Han Zhan's letter of persuasion written by the counselor. When he opened it, he still had a contemptuous smile on his face. After he saw the contents of the letter, his expression suddenly became serious. After reading the letter, he threw it on the ground, stood up and walked back and forth in the tent, and kept saying, "It's so unreasonable, it's so unreasonable!"

Gao Lan didn't know what happened, which made Zhang He so angry. He quickly bent down to pick up the letters on the ground. After he finished reading it, his expression on his face became extremely ugly. He never dreamed that Yuan Shao actually sent someone to secretly monitor him and Zhang He, and authorized the other party to kill the two of them when necessary to seize military power.

However, out of caution, he walked up to Han Zhan and asked in a low voice: "Young Master, I wonder where this letter comes from?"

Hearing Gao Lan called him Gongzi, not Zhangshuiting Hou, although the subtle names were different, Han Zhan was still very happy. This shows that Gao Lan had a good impression of him, and it seemed that he could open a breakthrough from him to persuade Zhang He to surrender. Thinking of this, he replied with a smile: "College Captain, this letter was obtained by our army's probe from a messenger. I saw that the content above was not good for General Junyi and the captain, so I came to report the news overnight."

"So that's how it is." After hearing this, Gao Lan bowed to Han Zhan deeply: "Gaolan thanked the young master again." After that, he walked to Zhang He with the letter, "Junyi, what should you do about this matter?"

When Zhang He and Gao Lan went to Guantao to take office, Yuan Shao sent Ma Yan to accompany him. Over the past few months, Ma Yan has been respectful to them. Even after seeing the handwritten letter from Yuan Shao, Zhang He was still half-believing and half-doubting about the matter. After some thought, he said to Gao Lan: "Capital College, I will order you to send the Marquis of Zhangshuiting out of the Great Village, so there must be no mistakes!"

When Han Zhan's smile froze on his face when he heard Zhang He's order to Gao Lan, he didn't expect that Zhang He was a lord who was indifferent to the situation. Before he could officially persuade him to surrender, he issued the order to expel the guests first.

Just then, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the door of the tent: "Wait a minute!"

Han Zhan looked at the door and saw a captain with a helmet and armor standing at the door, followed by five or six strong soldiers. The captain led the soldiers into the tent and said to Zhang He: "General Junyi, since the rebel Han Zhan is here, why don't you take him down?"

"Captain Ma," Zhang He looked at the other party and said coldly: "Don't forget, I have the final say in the army. It's not your turn to deal with the Marquis of Zhangshuiting."

After learning that the person coming was monitoring Zhang He. After Gao Lan's Ma Yan, Han Zhan's heart suddenly sank. He was worried that if Zhang He was concerned about serving Yuan Shao, he might have Ma Yan take him down and send him to Yuan Shao to seek credit and reward.

"The lord's command arrow is here!" Ma Yan pulled out a command arrow from his arms, raised it high, and said loudly: "Zhang He, Gao Lan, immediately take down the rebel Han Zhan!"

Zhang He didn't expect that there was a Yuan Shao's command arrow hidden on Ma Yan's body, and a surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face. When Ma Yan saw Zhang He standing there, he ordered the soldiers following him: "Take the rebel Han Zhan!" The soldiers responded with a loud bang, pulling out their waist knives and going forward to capture Han Zhan.

"Stop!" Zhang He roared, opened his arms to stop the soldiers, and said loudly: "Do you still have me as the coach in your eyes?"

Seeing that his soldiers stopped and turned their gazes for help to him, Ma Yan raised the arrow in his hand to the heights and said sternly: "The lord's arrow is here. If Zhang He stops it again, he will kill him without hesitation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He instinctively looked down and saw half of the sword tip emerge from his chest. He turned his head back with difficulty, and saw that it was not someone else who stabbed him with the sword, but Gao Lan, who had been ignored by him. He pointed at Gao Lan with his fingers and said in a blazing fire: "Why are you... you want to... kill me?"

However, Gao Lan did not answer his question, but decisively pulled the sword back from him and pushed it casually. His body shook and fell to the ground hard. Seeing that his master was killed, the soldiers following Ma Yan in hurriedly pointed the weapons in their hands at Zhang He and Gao Lan.

Seeing that Gao Lan killed Ma Yan, Zhang He was shocked: "Why did you kill Ma Yan? How should you deal with the aftermath now?"

"Come here!" Gao Lan didn't bother to answer Zhang He's question, but shouted calmly to the outside: "Take all these rebels!"

With the shouts, more than a dozen soldiers rushed in. The two of them dealt with one, and easily captured all the subordinates of Ma Yan, who was still in a panic.

After all Ma Yan's subordinates were taken out of the tent, Gao Lan replied: "Yuan Shao doesn't trust you and me at all. He actually sent someone to monitor us. Sooner or later, he will be harmed by him. How can we sit and wait for death? It's better to surrender to the young master."

Seeing Gao Lan killing Ma Yan and hearing him say this, Zhang He couldn't help but feel a little moved. He hesitated for a moment and said with concern: "Even if we defect to the young master, the young master's strength cannot compete with the Yuan family. Sooner or later, you and I will never escape the murder."

When Han Zhan saw Gao Lan killing Ma Yan, he knew that he was willing to take action. However, Zhang He was still worried, so he stood up and said, "General Junyi, don't worry. Half a year ago, this marquis didn't even have a foothold, and now he has control over five cities. Three months ago, this marquis had only 3,000 soldiers under this marquis, and now he has 20,000 more troops..."

After learning about Han Zhan's current strength, Zhang He did not immediately agree to apply for the results, but stood there without saying a word. Seeing his situation, Gao Lan guessed what he was worried about and quickly said to Han Zhan: "Young Master, General Junyi's original intention was to serve you, but all his family members are in Jizhou City. If he applies to you, it may implicate his family."

"General Junyi, it turns out that you are worried about this." Although Han Zhan has not received Zhao Yun's secret report and I don't know if Zhang He's family has received Guangping City, he still said carelessly: "Don't worry, I've sent someone to transfer your family to Guangping City. If you are willing to go to Guangping with me, you can reunite with your family."

When he heard that his family had arrived in Guangping City, the huge rock that Zhang He chose in his heart finally fell to the ground. He immediately ordered Gao Lan: "Gao Lan, summon all the soldiers immediately!"

Luo Bu, who was staying outside the village, saw Han Zhan entering the village without any news. He was already very anxious. When he heard the horns from the village, he thought Zhang He was going to attack Han Zhan, so he hurriedly rushed towards the village with a few cavalrymen. When the soldiers in the village saw Luo Bu and others rushing over, they neither shot arrows nor stopped, but did not open the gate of the village and let Robu shout outside.

Zhang He stood in front of the queue and whispered to his subordinates: "Yuan Shao is unkind and tries to send someone to take the lives of me and the captain. Now this general has decided to join the young master. Those who are willing to follow will stay. If they are unwilling to follow, they can leave immediately. I will never make things difficult for him." He shouted three times in a row, but no one left.

After reorganizing Zhang He's army, Han Zhan ordered the camp to be pulled out overnight and to join Dian Wei and Guo Jia. In order to avoid causing misunderstandings, Han Zhan also sent Luo Bu, who had just entered the camp, to bring a few cavalry back to report the news and notify Guo Jia of the news that Zhang He had surrendered.

After Rob left, Zhang He asked Han Zhan for instructions: "Young master, there are still 5,000 troops in Guantao. Do you need to send someone to transfer them here immediately?" He paused for a moment and added specifically, "They are all old subordinates of the Han family, and they only obeyed the orders of Gao Lan and me."
