Before Han Zhan could train, the first snow in the winter of Chuping came unknowingly.

Han Zhan and Guo Jia stood at the door of the conference hall, looking at the goose-feather-like snowflakes falling from the dark sky, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the sky is really not going to destroy Yuan Shao. It didn't snow until he withdrew. If he had been going down two days earlier, half of the soldiers would probably not be able to return to Yecheng."

Han Zhan knew very well that Yuan Shao's army was short of food, and the soldiers also lacked winter clothes. They camped in the wilderness. After a heavy snowfall, there would inevitably be a large number of non-combat reductions due to frostbite. If it snowed two days earlier, he would be able to lead his troops to take the initiative and defeat Yuan's army.

Zhao Yun, who came to the meeting hall to report to Han Zhan, saw that Han Zhan and Guo Jia were actually having leisure and feeling the snow, and he couldn't help but look surprised on his face. Seeing Zhao Yun standing not far away, Han Zhan smiled and asked, "Brother came in a hurry. Is there anything important?"

Seeing that there were only Han Zhan and Guo Jia at the entrance of the conference hall, Zhao Yun said with a private name: "Second brother, it's snowing heavily in the sky, and many soldiers don't have winter clothes to keep warm. Now there are 500 leather jackets donated by Mr. Hu, so I don't know how to distribute them?"

Five hundred leather jackets are a drop in the bucket for the Guantao garrison, which has almost 30,000 people. After hearing Zhao Yun’s question, he thought for a moment, and then said: “These five hundred leather jackets are equipped for soldiers on duty on the city wall, so don’t let them freeze.”

After Han Zhan explained the distribution plan for the fur coat, Zhao Yun reported again: "There are soldiers from the wardens who came to report. They intercepted a carriage in the west of the city..." Hearing Zhao Yun solemnly reported that a carriage was stopped by a detective outside the city, Han Zhan immediately raised his ears and wanted to hear clearly what was said later, "There is a female family member in the carriage who claims to be the daughter of Cai Yong, the general of the Left Central Army of the dynasty."

"The daughter of Cai Yong?" When Han Zhan heard this name, he did not react, but Guo Jia was shocked. He grabbed Zhao Yun's arm and asked anxiously: "General Zilong, is Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji who are married to Wei Zhongdao in Hedong?"

When Han Zhan suddenly realized that Guo Jia mentioned the name Cai Yan, he found that the person Guo Jia mentioned was Cai Wenji, a famous later generations! Alas, it was terrible to be uneducated. He always thought that Cai Wenji's father was Cai Chao, but he was Cai Yong.

Zhao Yun shook his head at Guo Jia and said, "When Mr. Guo said, I don't know. When our sentry detective stopped the car and inspected it, a scholar blocked the car with a sword and refused to let the sentry detective move forward. The sentry detective guessed that the other party might be a person of great origin, so he did not dare to neglect it. While surrounding them, he sent someone to report to the general."

"This scribe is quite brave." The sentry detectives sent were all in groups of fifty people. A scribe could face so many soldiers, but still had the courage to block the car and prevent them from getting close. How amazing is this person. Han Zhan became a loving talent, and he hurriedly asked Zhao Yun: "Do you know what the other party's name is?"

Zhao Yun frowned and thought for a while, then replied, "According to what the detective said, it seems to be called Shan Fu!" As soon as he finished speaking, Han Zhan rushed over from him like a gust of wind, leaving only one sentence behind him: "What are you still standing there? Come with me out of the city to greet you!"

Han Zhan rushed out of the prefect's mansion and saw that the soldiers outside the door were holding a horse, Zhao Yun's Zhaoye Yu Lion, so he rushed over and turned over and headed towards the west of the city with a quick horse. When Zhao Yun and Guo Jia arrived outside the mansion, they saw only Han Zhan's shadow. He couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with my second brother? When he heard Cai Zhaoji's name, he had no reaction. Why did he become so disobedient when he heard the name of Shan Fu?"

Han Zhan went out of the city alone from the west of the city and rushed to the place where the carriage was stopped. After a while, he saw a group of horse-riding stalkers in front of him, surrounding a gorgeous carriage. The coachman was shivering, whether he was scared or cold. Next to the carriage, a thin scholar was riding on a dark horse with a sword in his hand, staring at the surroundings with a vigilant gaze.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him, several whistle detectives turned their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came. When they saw clearly that the person coming was Han Zhanhou, everyone bowed on the horse's back and said, "Join Tinghou!"

"No gift!" Han Zhan waved his hand to everyone, then slowed down his horse, passed through the crowd, came to the scholar, and said politely: "Dare you ask this righteous man, is Mr. Shan Fu?"

"It's just below," the scribe frowned and looked Han Zhan carefully, and asked coldly: "Who are you?"

"I am the new governor of Jizhou and Han Zhan, the Marquis of Zhangshuiting." After Han Zhan said something to the scholar, he looked around and ordered loudly: "Put away all the weapons!"

With Han Zhan's order, the whistle detectives surrounding him put away their weapons. When the scholar saw that the soldiers obeyed Han Zhanyan, he knew that what the young master said in front of him was credible. He inserted his sword back into the scabbard, turned over and dismounted, bowed to Han Zhan and bowed to Han Zhan: "Shan Fu, Yingchuan, have seen the Marquis of Ting!"

After confirming that the person in front of him was Shan Fu, Han Zhan quickly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to support the other party, and said politely: "Mr. Shan Fu, I have offended me just now, so I would like to ask you to atone for more sins."

"It's okay, it's okay." Seeing Han Zhan acted so politely, Shan Fu also said generously: "It's just a misunderstanding."

Han Zhan and Shan Fu were talking, and Zhao Yun and Guo Jia also arrived on horseback. After Guo Jia dismounted, he came to the carriage and asked respectfully, "Is Miss Cai in the carriage?"

"I'm the surname Cai," a nice voice came from the carriage: "I don't know what the young master should call him?"

"In Xiayingchuan Guo Jia, whose courtesy name is Fengxiao." After hearing the other party's identity report, Guo Jia quickly said respectfully: "I once visited the door because I envy Lingzun Daming. Unfortunately, my husband had already entered the capital as an official, so Jia had no chance to receive education in person."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a beautiful face. She smiled sweetly at Guo Jia and said, "It turns out that you are Guo Fengxiao. I once heard your father mention your name, but unfortunately I have never been able to see you."

When Guo Jia heard Cai Yan say this, his face suddenly showed a surprise expression: "Mr. Cai also knows the name of me, and I am so flattered."

Seeing that the two of them had not finished chatting, Han Zhan said to Guo Jia impatiently: "Fengxiao, it's cold in the wilderness. Don't freeze Miss Cai. Let's go back to the city and chat."

"Yes, yes, yes," Guo Jia came to his senses after hearing Han Zhan say this and said to Cai Yan: "Miss Cai, this is not where to speak, so let's go into the city before talking."

After a while, the carriage restarted and slowly headed towards the city accompanied by more than a dozen wardens. Seeing Shan Fu, who was about to get on the horse, Han Zhan shivered slightly, as if he felt very cold, and quickly asked, "Mr. Shan Fu, why are you dressing so thin?"

Shan Fu smiled at Han Zhan and said awkwardly: "When I saw these sergeants just now, I thought I had encountered a robber, so I urged the carriage to speed up and cut the back with my sword. In order to facilitate the fight, I took off the clothes I wore and threw them away. Tinghou should go back to the city first, and wait for Shan Fu to find his clothes, and then go to the city to pay homage to Tinghou."

Hearing that Shan Fu's clothes were thrown away while running for life, Han Zhan would definitely not miss this opportunity to please him. He quickly took off his mink cloak and put it on Shan Fu's body. He smiled and said, "Mr. Shan Fu, your clothes will not be found for a while, so put on my cloak first."

Shan Fu, who was almost frozen, was suddenly covered with a marten cloak, and suddenly felt warm all over. He quickly bowed to Han Zhan and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ting!"

"Mr. Shan Fu," Han Zhan was particularly polite to Xu Shu, who was named Shan Fu: "It's cold outside, so we'd better go back to the city as soon as possible."

When the two of them walked together, Han Zhan looked at Shan Fu and asked curiously: "Mr. Shan Fu, I am very curious. Why do you walk with Miss Cai?"

Shan Fu smiled slightly and replied, "If you say you are traveling to Hedong, Xia is traveling to Hedong. When she meets Miss Cai who wants to return to Chenliu's parents' home, she escorts her south."

Han Zhan was determined to keep Shan Fu, so he asked tentatively: "Mr. Shan Fu sent Miss Cai to Chenliu, don't know what plans are?"

"Dong Zhuo's rebellion caused the world to rise up." Shan Fu frowned and said, "I plan to continue to go south to avoid chaos after meeting with friends in Chenliu."

"I wonder if Mr. Shan Fu's friend is named, who may be sued?" After Han Zhan asked this, seeing that Shan Fu's face became a little gloomy and gloomy, he quickly added: "If the gentleman feels it is inconvenient to say it, there is no need to say it."

Logically speaking, like the person Han Zhan met for the first time, Shan Fu would not have a heart-to-heart relationship with him at all, but because the other party had just shown a manner of being a polite and a polite person and a gift of clothes, Shan Fu still told him the truth: "I plan to go south with my friend Shi Tao in the same county to avoid chaos and study. Liu Biao's Jingzhou has no war, but it is a good place for a long-term stay."

"Shi Tao?!" After Han Zhan repeated the name, he immediately remembered that this person was also one of Zhuge Liang's friends. Although there were not many descriptions of him in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, since he could become a friend of Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang, it proved that he still had some ability. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel the desire to recruit: "Mr. Shan Fu, I wonder if you can stay in Jizhou with Lingyou Shi Guangyuan to help me quell the troubled times?"

As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Shan Fu widened his eyes and asked, "Mr. Ting, how did you know that Shi Tao's name is Guangyuan?"

Han Zhan didn't expect that he accidentally let it go again. After hesitating for a while, he decided to take a risk to expose Shan Fu's identity and see if he could keep the other party. He smiled at Shan Fu and said, "Actually, this Hou not only knows Shi Tao's name is Guangyuan, but also has a little knowledge of Mr. Shan Fu's origin."

When Shan Fu heard Han Zhan say this, he showed a vigilant expression on his face: "Have you ever heard of Tinghou before?"

"I once heard someone mention a knight named Xu and Shu, Zi Yuanzhi. In order to avenge a friend, he killed a bully. After being caught by the government, he tied it to a pillar and made it public. He asked the local people to recognize him. Although everyone recognized who he was, because he was a loyal person, no one betrayed him to the government. Later, he was rescued by his friends. In order to avoid trouble, he changed his name and went to study." After Han Zhan simply said what he knew, he smiled and asked Shan Fu: "I wonder if Mr. Shan Fu knows this person?"

"That's right, Xu Shu is here." Seeing that Han Zhan had seen through his identity, Xu Shu did not hide it anymore, but said carelessly: "Since the Marquis Ting knew his identity, it was all right to kill or cut him."

Seeing Xu Shu acting so righteously, Han Zhan just smiled and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xu misunderstood. When I mentioned this, I did not want to ask the teacher for his escort. On the contrary, I admire his escort for his friend's behavior. At the same time, I sincerely hope that Mr. Xu and your friends can stay in Jizhou to help me."

After hearing what Han Zhan said, Xu Shu felt much more at ease, but he did not immediately agree to Han Zhan's request, but said tactfully: "Please forgive me, so Shu cannot agree to your request for the time being. Shu once promised to the Wei family that Miss Cai must be sent to Chenliu safely. When Shu arrived in Chenliu and met his friend Guangyuan, he would discuss this matter with him to see if he was willing to stay and serve Tinghou."

Xu Shu did not agree to serve him immediately, which somewhat disappointed Han Zhan. Fortunately, Xu Shu did not completely reject him, and there was still room for improvement, so he bowed to Xu Shu: "Since this is the case, this marquis will not force others to do anything, and everything will be respected."

Seeing that Han Zhan was rejected by him, he was not angry, but on the contrary, he was still polite. Xu Shu felt that when he arrived in Chenliu and saw Shi Tao, he could discuss with the other party carefully to see if he could temporarily stay in Jizhou as an official.

When he returned to the prefect's mansion, the servant had already prepared a charcoal basin and a banquet in the reception room. Han Zhan hurriedly called Xu Shu and Cai Yan and sat down. In order not to reveal Xu Shu's true identity, he still called the other party Mr. Shan Fu in front of everyone.

Guo Jia had just rode a horse and drove side by side with Cai Yan's carriage. The two talked a lot, and now they were already an old couple. Guo Jia asked Cai Yan with a smile: "Miss Cai, I wonder if you can stay in Guantao for a while, so that Jia can ask you about the issues in songs and essays."

Cai Yan smiled faintly, "Since Brother Guo is so interested, it's better to obey your orders than to be respectful. Stay in Guantao for a few more days." Speaking of this, her eyebrows turned to Xu Shu who was sitting under Han Zhan, "I wonder if Mr. Shan Fu mind staying here for a while?"
