After Xun You persuaded Gongsun Zan to attack Yuan's camp, he immediately sent a messenger to send a letter to Han Zhan, informing him of the matter, and asked him to send troops to attack Yuan Shao.

After receiving the letter, Han Zhan discussed with Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Gongda's cousin sent me a letter saying that Gongsun Zan planned to attack Yuanying tomorrow morning and asked us to send troops to attack Yuan Shao. What were you thinking about?"

After reading the letter, Guo Jia looked up and said to Han Zhan: "Lord, Jia believes that we should send troops, and the entire army will be dispatched. As long as he defeats Yuan Shao, the territory he controlled north of Guantao will be completely lost."

"The whole army is dispatched?!" Han Zhan couldn't help frowning at Guo Jia's suggestion: "We just arranged thousands of soldiers under Yuan Tan's command two days ago, and their loyalty is not very high. Let them go with the army to fight, there is a possibility of turning against each other in the last battle; stay in the city, but I'm afraid they will cause trouble."

"Don't worry, lord." Guo Jia suggested to Han Zhan again: "Guangping City is not far from here. You can order General Zhang He to lead his troops to come. After his troops arrive, it is not too late for us to send troops to the Border Bridge."

"What Fengxiao said is very true." Although Zhang He had just surrendered, Han Zhan was particularly at ease with him, so he said readily: "With Ye and Yuan Hao staying behind, Jizhou must be as solid as a desolate person."

When the messenger was sent, it was already dark. Guo Jia stood at the gate of the main hall, looked up at the starry sky and said, "Lord, General Zhang He's army will arrive tomorrow. Jia needs to rush to the barracks immediately and tell General Zilong about sending troops." He walked a few steps outside, suddenly stopped, and asked Han Zhan with a mysterious expression: "Lord, did the wealthy businessman Hu Cha give you two singers a few days ago, have you had a night of singing in the past two days?"

Hearing Guo Jia’s question, Han Zhan couldn’t help but say with shame: “Fengxiao, have you forgotten that I was still in the filial piety period, how could I just marry and take concubines? The two women were just warming the bed. When the quilt became hot, they would naturally leave.”

"Two stunning beauties, you really only use them to warm the bed." Guo Jia shook his head and said with a look of regret that he was so angry: "It's really a waste of natural resources, a waste of natural resources!"

Seeing Han Zhan looking embarrassed, he added: "At the time of Emperor Wen, he issued an edict to replace the moon with sun, which means that his parents only need to be mourned for thirty-six days to replace the usual three years and thirty-six months."

Emperor Wen of Han?! After hearing this, Han Zhan thought to himself, that was the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. Now it was the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Is the edict issued by him still effective? Just as he was about to ask Guo Jia for advice, he continued: "Although you have been mourning for three years, as long as you don't marry and take concubines in these three years, even if you favor a few singers, it will not be harmful."

After Guo Jia left for a long time, Han Zhan stood in the distance to digest what he said: As long as he did not marry and take concubines during the mourning period, he would only be romantic and happy with the singer at home, no one would gossip.

Han Zhan returned to his room and saw that the jadeite, which was the turn of warming the quilt today, was only wearing a red bellyband, came out of the quilt, kneeling in front of him, and said timidly: "Mr. Marquis, the quilt has been warmed for you, you can go to bed." Perhaps because it was cold and she was dressed too little, her voice trembled slightly when she spoke.

Han Zhan helped Jade up, put it in his arms, and said lovingly: "It's cold outside, you'd better go back to the bed."

"Mr. Marquis, the quilt has been warmed up for you." Jade lowered his head and said, "I will go back to my room now."

"Stay," Although Jade is his singer, Han Zhan still said to her politely: "Let's stay with me tonight."

…………

The next morning, Han Zhan was awakened by the sound of patch knocking on the door outside. He gently moved the jade hands and legs pressed against his body, turned over and stayed, put on a robe and opened the door.

When Patch saw that Han Zhan was opening the door, he was stunned and glanced at the couch in the room quickly. Seeing Jade lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, he quickly whispered: "Young Master, Mr. Guo and the others are waiting for you in the main hall, saying that General Zhang's army has entered the city."

"You go and tell them, I'll go there immediately."

"Here!" the patch agreed, and then left quietly.

Han Zhan closed the door and was about to dress himself, but unexpectedly, Jade lying on the couch opened his eyes. Last night, Han Zhan put Jade on the bed and did the short matter of spring night, but Jade unexpectedly found Jade was unavailable. The two of them had to work for a whole night. Han Zhan felt refreshed when he woke up in the morning, while Jade felt weak all over, and he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers. At this moment, she saw Han Zhan changing clothes on her own, and said a little embarrassedly: "Marty, wait for me to change clothes for you." As she said that, she was about to sit up. But as soon as she moved, she said "Ouch" and lay down softly.

Han Zhan quickly sat next to the couch, possessed her forehead and kissed her, and said lovingly: "Jiacui, you should continue to sleep, I will change my clothes myself."

Han Zhan came to the main hall and saw Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and others on both sides. After everyone greeted him, Han Zhan said to Zhang He: "Yun Yi, I plan to lead my troops to Jieqiao and attack Yuan Shao with Gongsun Zan. I will leave this Jizhou City to you and Yuan Hao."

"Please don't worry, lord." Zhang He bowed and replied: "As long as Zhang is still there, he will never let Jizhou have any gaps."

Regarding Zhang He's statement, Han Zhan nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed him: "General Jun Yi, there are thousands of new troops affiliated with Yuan Shao in the military camp. During my time when I was not in Jizhou, I would like to ask you to train them well. Maybe they will be used in the next battle."

"Zhang He takes the order!" Zhang He replied loudly.

…………

Just as Han Zhan's army left Jizhou City, Gongsun Zan's army began to attack Yuan Shao's camp after breakfast.

As early as when Gongsun Zan's army was assembled, he was caught by Yuan Shao's exploration of horses and immediately returned to the camp to report to Yuan Shao. After hearing this, Yuan Shao threw the helmet on the table on the ground of the big tent and said angrily: "It's really a tiger falling into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs. Gongsun Zan is really too bullying. I haven't sent troops yet, but he actually sent troops first. Where is Yan Liangwen's Chou?"

In the past few days, Gongsun Zan's subordinates fought outside the village, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou would have been unable to stand it. If Ju Su had not tried his best to persuade them to "a little impatience would cause a big plan", they would have rushed out to fight with Gongsun Zan's subordinates. You must know that even if all Gongsun Zan's subordinates were sent out, they would not be their opponents at all.

At this moment, hearing Yuan Shao calling him, the two of them hurriedly stepped out: "Here!"

Yuan Shao drew a command arrow and held it in his hand and said to the two of them: "You two lead three thousand soldiers to fight, and you must kill Gongsun Zan to death."

Just as the two were about to come forward to receive the order, Ju Su stood up and persuaded: "Lord, no, no fight!"

"Why?" Yuan Shao asked angrily.

"Gongsun Zan has an army of 50,000, while our army only has 10,000." Ju Su said with a sad face: "If we fight in the field, we are not their opponents at all. Please bear with your lord for a few more days. After Xun Youruo's army arrives, we will go out to fight with Gongsun Zan again."

Usually after Ju Su offered advice to Yuan Shao, Feng Ji would come out to sing the opposite tune, but today he still stood there and said nothing. After all, Ju Su saved his life a few days ago, and he could not turn against others so quickly.

Yuan Shao always felt that the atmosphere today was a little wrong. After thinking for a long time, he realized that Feng Ji did not come out to sing a stage show with Ju Su. He held the arrow and asked Feng Ji: "Yuantu, what are your intentions?"

"Report to the lord," Feng Ji thought that Ju Su's proposal was the most secure. In the case of a huge gap in the number of troops, it is the best way to stick to it. Therefore, he said to Yuan Shao: "What Ju Jianjun said is very true. At present, there are many enemies and we are few. It is indeed not appropriate to go out to fight with them in the field. It is better to stick to it."

Seeing that Feng Jidu expressed his support for perseverance, Shen Pei quickly agreed: "Lord, Gongsun Zan's army is powerful, we need to avoid the edge of the situation for a while. It is better to go out to fight with him. It is better to stick to the camp."

Seeing that his advisers were all against the war, Yuan Shao hesitated for a long time and said to Yan Liangwen Chou again: "You two go to summon powerful crossbow soldiers and archers, and prepare to welcome the invading Gongsun Zan army."

Gongsun Zan's forward was led by Shan Jing. At the front of the team were three rows of swords and axes holding giant shields, behind them were five rows of archers, and behind them were eight rows of spearmen.

Facing the Gongsun Zan army approaching step by step, Yuan Shao's camp remained silent. Until fifty steps were still left, a trumpet sounded in the camp. The powerful crossbowmen and archers hiding behind the wooden fence shot at the same time, and the arrows flew towards Gongsun Zan army like locusts.

"Rise the shield!" With a command in the queue, the three rows of knife and axe players raised the shield in their hands at the same time. For a moment, only the "Doduo" sound of arrows hitting the shield was heard. But several arrows fell into the queue behind. The archers and sprites who were caught fell down screaming, but followed the soldiers behind quickly filled their gap.

A loud order sounded in the Gongsun Zan army's queue: "Shoot the arrow!" With the order, the archers in Gongsun Zan's army also opened their bows and shot arrows into the camp. A large number of feather arrows flew into the camp, and a series of screams came from behind the wooden fence. It seemed that many people in the Yuan army were also caught.

Archers on both sides were shooting arrows. At the end of each round of shooting, soldiers on both sides were shot and fell down. Although the arrows shot from the Yuan army camp were dense and fierce, and the Gongsun Zan army caused a lot of casualties, they still approached the camp step by step.
