Although it is not difficult to control the kang, Zhao Yun's group of soldiers have become familiar with each other after hundreds of them were sold out in a row. However, due to the limitations of materials, it is still a bit unrealistic for tens of thousands of troops to live in a barracks with kangs. In just two days, the mountains of blue bricks that were originally piled up in a corner of the barracks were consumed.

Seeing that there was no material for the fire-placing kang, Zhao Yun hurried to the prefect's office and asked Han Zhan to discuss the matter. As soon as he saw Han Zhan's face, he did not go around in circles, but said bluntly: "Second brother, all the blue bricks in the military camp have been exhausted. Before the new blue bricks are shipped, I'm afraid I can't continue to roll the kang anymore."

When Han Zhan heard Zhao Yun say this, he was stunned and then asked, "Brother, are the bricks you use to carry the kang all the same colored blue bricks?"

"That's right," Zhao Yun nodded and said, "It is said that the blue bricks stored in the military camp were all left when the city wall was built. Brother Wei used all the kangs."

After hearing this, Han Zhan was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "Brother, in addition to using blue bricks to plate the kang, we can also use adobe to build the kang. The weather has been good these two days, so we can organize some soldiers to take off the adobe and dry it for several days, so we can use it to build the kang."

After listening to Han Zhan's instructions, Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Second brother, I am sometimes very curious. How can you, a child of an official, know so much? You should know that you can't learn from the book slip, such as making a wheelbarrow, nailing horses with horses, steaming wine, and placing a kang, etc.?"

Naturally, Han Zhan would not tell Zhao Yun that he had traveled from two thousand years later, but instead said mysteriously: "Brother, this is the secret of heaven. The secret of heaven cannot be revealed!"

Just as Han Zhan and Zhao Yun were discussing the matter of putting kangs on the military camp in the prefect's mansion, on the walls of the west of the city, two soldiers wearing brand new fur coats were chatting together. An elderly veteran said, "I have been in the army for 20 years and it is the first time I have worn a brand new winter suit in winter. When I went to bed at night, I was not awakened by the cold because the bedding was too thin..."

The young soldier next to him touched the brand new fur coat with his hands and said with a deep sense of emotion: "I have never heard of any lord who asked the soldier to wear such a good fur coat. I sold this life to Tinghou for this winter dress."

As they were talking, the sound of horse hooves came faintly from the distance. The two of them looked out of the city at the same time and saw more than a dozen knights coming along the official road full of snow.

The team standing at the gate of the city saw a team of cavalry in casual clothes coming towards the city gate. They hurried outside the suspension bridge, putting one hand on the hilt of the knife with one hand on the hilt of the knife, preparing to stop them.

The cavalry team may be afraid of causing misunderstandings, so they stopped moving forward at a distance of more than twenty steps from the suspension bridge. A scholar came out in front of the team leader and bowed from the other party on the back of the horse, asking politely: "This military master, can the Marquis of Zhiting be in the city?"

Although the team leader did not know what the other party was from, he saw that the person who came was dressed as a scholar and acted very politely to himself, so he replied friendly: "Yes, the prefect of Tinghou is in the city. I wonder what the sir is called?"

"In the south of Nanyang, Chen Zhen and Chen Xiaoqi came to visit Tinghou." Chen Zhen smiled and asked the team leader, "I wonder if the military officer can do it for convenience. Let us go to the city to see Tinghou?"

"So it's Mr. Chen," the team leader glanced at the team of knights behind Chen Zhen. More than a dozen looked extremely tough, not good-for-nothing. However, when the city gathered heavily and these people wanted to make trouble, they couldn't make any prodigal sons, so he made a decisive decision: "You and your entourage, please go to the city." After that, he flashed to the side and gave up a passage for Chen Zhen and others.

After thanking the team leader, Chen Zhen turned around and shouted at the knights behind him: "Let's go into the city!"

After entering the city, a handsome young man with a spear and Chen Zhen walked with him and asked nervously: "Mr. Xiaoqi, do you think Tinghou can see us?"

Chen Zhen smiled at the other party and then said, "Don't worry, uncle, as far as I see, although the Marquis of Ting is in a high position, he is humble and respectful and can respect the virtuous and humble. If he hears us coming to vote, he will definitely meet us."

The person who was called Shuzhi was still half-believing and half-doubted about Chen Zhen's statement. He even muttered in his heart: "If Han Tinghou refused to accept me, I would take people to Xuzhou to join Tao Qian."

After a while, the group came to the prefect's mansion. Chen Zhen said, "Shuzhi, we are here." After that, he turned over and dismounted. Shuzhi then got off the horse and handed the weapons in his hand to his servants. Then he followed Chen Zhen to the gate of the prefect's mansion.

Chen Zhen rushed to a Shi Zheng who was guarding the gate and said, "This military master is polite!"

"Isn't this Mr. Chen?" Before Chen Zhen could reveal his identity, the Shi Chang said in surprise: "Do you want to meet Marquis Ting?"

Shi Chang's attitude made Chen Zhen stunned. He thought to himself that he was so famous in Guantao City that even the soldiers standing guard at the gate of the prefect's mansion knew their identity. He looked Shi Chang up and down and found that he didn't know the other party at all, so he asked tentatively: "You know this military master?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen." Shi Chang nodded vigorously and reminded him: "When you were in Guangping City some time ago, you brought Huang to see Marquis Ting, and I went to inform me. At that time, I was still a small commander, and you may not have noticed me."

When Chen Zhen heard that the Shi Chief in front of him was an acquaintance, he couldn't help laughing. He said to Shi Chief: "Please go in and report to the Marquis of Ting, saying that Chen Zhen of Nanyang asked for a meeting. Maybe he would be happy and promote you again."

Shi Chang grinned at Chen Zhen's teasing, and then said to Chen Zhen: "Mr. Chen, please wait for a moment here and wait for the younger one to come in to report to Tinghou."

When Shi Zheng walked into the conference hall, Xu Shu was about to say goodbye to Han Zhan: "Mr. Ting, since Miss Cai is going to go back to Jizhou with you, Shan Fu's mission has been completed. Today I came to say goodbye to you."

"Mr. Shan Fu is leaving?" Han Zhan felt quite reluctant to let go when he heard that Xu Shu was leaving. After all, there were not many people in his hands. Xu Shu was letting go with such a big shot. He asked with some regret: "I wonder what sir has to do?"

"Shan Fu wants to go back to Chenliu first." Xu Shu saw that Han Zhan had the intention of trying to stay, and quickly explained to him: "My friend Shi Tao and Shi Guangyuan were still staying in Chenliu, wanting to go south with me to avoid the chaos. I plan to persuade him to come to Jizhou and serve the Marquis of Ting!"

Hearing that there was such a good thing of buying one free one, although Han Zhan tried his best to control his emotions, the slightly upturned corner of his mouth still exposed his true thoughts. He raised his hand and patted him twice, and Rob appeared in the conference hall with a small wooden box.

Han Zhan pointed to the wooden box in Rob's hand and said to Xu Shu: "Mr. Shan Fu, there are ten gold cakes in this box. As a way for Mr. Hu to be a mess along the way, please don't refuse."

Xu Shu originally wanted to reject the golden cakes given by Han Zhan, but when he saw the other party's sincere look, he couldn't bear to disappoint his pleasure, so he agreed readily.

Just as Xu Shu took the wooden box, Han Zhan saw the leader standing at the door. He knew that if these soldiers had nothing to do, they would not appear in the conference hall casually, so he asked at him: "What's the matter?"

Seeing Han Zhan asking him, Shi Chang hurriedly walked forward a few steps and bowed: "Report to the lord, Mr. Chen Zhen, Nanyang, Mr. Chen Xiaoqi is asking for a meeting outside the mansion!"

"What, Chen Xiaoqi?" Hearing Chen Zhen's name, Han Zhan stood up suddenly and put on his shoes in a hurry. Even Xu Shu didn't care about it, so he ran out of the conference hall like a silence and ran outside the mansion.

Chen Zhen and Uncle Zhi were chatting outside the mansion when they suddenly saw a young man in black robe rushing out of the mansion. The soldiers standing guard at the door saluted him one after another. Chen Zhen recognized at a glance that the young man was Han Zhan. He hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and bowed: "Have you seen the Marquis of Ting!"

"Sir, please don't give me a gift!" Han Zhan hurriedly stepped forward to support Chen Zhen, and said to him with a smile: "Mr. Xiaoqi came to visit today, which really surprised me. The mansion is too cold and is not where to speak. Please follow me to the mansion." After that, he held Chen Zhen's arm and was about to walk into the mansion.

"House Ting!" Chen Zhen called Han Zhan and said to him: "I have a distant relative. I think of Ting Hou's men as a subordinate, but I wonder if Ting Hou can accept it?"

Han Zhan is now at the moment of using people, and he is eager to come and join him as many people as possible. At this moment, he heard Chen Zhen say this, and he nodded vigorously: "The people recommended by Mr. Xiaoqi must be real people. I am here. I don't know where your distant relative is now?" He had seen Shu Zhi standing beside him, but he thought it was Chen Zhen's entourage. At this moment, he guessed that it might be the talent Chen Zhen wanted to recommend, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"Uncle Zhi, come here!" Chen Zhen saw that Uncle Zhi called in front of him and introduced to Han Zhan: "This is my distant relative, Chen Da, Runan, Uncle Chen!"

When Han Zhan heard that the person in front of him was Chen Dao, he was stunned. Although this man had hardly appeared in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he left a strong mark in real history. He was the commander of the Bai Er soldiers who defended Liu Bei's safety. Some of his deeds were imposed on Zhao Yun in the Romance of the Romance by the author.

Seeing Han Zhan staring at Chen Dao without saying anything, Chen Zhen couldn't help but show an embarrassing expression on his face. He was guessing in his heart that maybe Han Zhan didn't want to accept his relative at all, and was considering how to politely reject him at this moment. When Chen Dao saw Han Zhan staring at him without saying something, his heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom. He thought that if he was rejected later, he would immediately take his group of subordinates and go south to Xuzhou to join Tao Qian.

Fortunately, Han Zhan didn't stay for long, and his expression returned to normal. He looked at Chen Dao and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is Uncle Chen. I have long admired your name. I know that you have high martial arts skills and are extremely alert. I am a rare general. I am really lucky to see you today!"

Han Zhan's words made Chen Dao stunned. He thought to himself that Marquis Ting had recognized the wrong person, how could he give me such a high evaluation? Before he could figure it out, Han Zhan had already held him and Chen Zhen and walked towards the prefect's mansion, strode toward the prefect's mansion.

When he returned to the meeting hall, there was no one inside, and Xu Shu had left at some point. Han Zhan greeted Chen Zhen. After Chen Da sat down, he asked, "Mr. Xiaoqi, you said you were going back to Nanyang last time, why did you appear here today?"

"Marquis Ting," Chen Zhen quickly replied, "Before I had returned to Nanyang, I heard on the road that Yuan Shao had been defeated and retreated to Yecheng. Not long after, there were rumors that Yuan Shao had all the Wei County army and came to besiege Guantao. I thought of coming here to find out what happened. Before leaving, my uncle came to join me, so I brought him to Guantao together."

It is a pity to get a powerful general, but a talented person like Chen Zhen cannot serve him, but it is a permanent pain in Han Zhan's heart. He ordered Rob to buy food and drinks and prepare to entertain Chen Zhen and Chen Dao. After Rob left, he asked Chen Zhen: "Mr. Xiaoqi, I wonder what your plans are in the future?"

If Han Zhan asked this a month ago, maybe Chen Zhen would answer him, saying that he wanted to be an unrestrained and idle cloud and wild crane. But now seeing that Han Zhan has the strength to defeat Yuan Shao, Chen Zhen’s thoughts changed, otherwise he would not have brought Chen to join him.

Chen Zhen hesitated for a moment. He said carefully: "Marquis Ting, I returned to Runan. After careful consideration, I decided to come to serve Marquis Ting. I wonder if Marquis Ting can accept it?"

Hearing Chen Zhen’s heartfelt words, Han Zhan couldn’t help but be overjoyed. There were only guards in Guantao, but no prefect. Han Zhan had been considering choosing the right person to come here to serve as prefect after returning to Jizhou. At this moment, he heard Chen Zhen say this, and stood up and said, “Mr. Xiaoqi has forgotten that this marquis once said that as long as the marquis is willing to serve this marquis, this marquis will be waiting for the marquis.”

He paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued: "If Mr. Don't dislike him, I plan to appoint Mr. Guantao as the prefect of Guantao and take office immediately. I wonder what Mr. thinks?"

Chen Zhen thought that Han Zhan had thought about it for a while after hearing his request, but he did not expect that the other party would think that he was raising his hand without hesitation. After a while, he quickly stood up and walked to Han Zhan, bowed and bowed: "I thank you lord for your good intentions. I must do my best to govern Guantao for your lord."

After arranging an official position for Chen Zhen, Han Zhan turned his attention to Chen Dao. He thought that this man had high martial arts skills and a loyal and righteous person, so the official position he gave him should not be too low; but at the same time, it should not be too high, otherwise it would cause dissatisfaction from other generals. In real history, he led hundreds of Bai'er soldiers to protect Liu Bei and emerged from the tens of thousands of troops of the Eastern Wu. Then it would be more appropriate to keep him by his side to take charge of the defense work.

After making up his mind, Han Zhan said to Chen Dao: "Shuzhi, there are more than 500 soldiers who protect this marquis, but there is a lack of a commander. I wonder if you are willing to take this position?"
