Chapter 0154
"Last year, when Dong's thief was carrying the emperor and all officials to move the capital," Guo Jia and Xun Yu and Han Zhan calmed down and said slowly: "Teach all the doors to set fire, ban the residents' defense, and set fire to the ancestral temple palace. The north and south palaces were connected by flames; the Changle palace was full of scorched earth. Dong's thief sent Lu Bu to dig the tombs of the ancestors and the concubines, and took tens of thousands of kilograms of gold treasures to serve as military supplies."
When Han Zhan heard Guo Jia's tone, he seemed not to oppose his organization of people to rob the tomb, but he still asked cautiously: "I wonder if Fengxiao agrees with this matter?"
Guo Jia stood up, nodded, and said to Han Zhan and Xun Yu: "After the rule of Wen and Jing in the previous dynasty, a trend of burial was prevalent. Anyone with a wealthy family must have a lot of treasures and silver in the tombs. If we take them, we will be able to enrich our military pay."
Seeing that Guo Jia also agreed with this matter, Han Zhan finally fell back into his stomach, and then he could arrange personnel with confidence and boldness. He looked at the two and asked, "Uncle, Fengxiao, how many people do you think we should draw to carry out this matter?"
"There are too many people, and it is easy to leak news; but if the people are too few, it is difficult to transport all the treasures in the tomb;" Xun Yu said thoughtfully: "I think I will send 500 people to find a reliable person to lead the grave to steal and dig the grave."
"Shistor Xun" Guo Jia and Xun Yu finished speaking, immediately asked: "I wonder who do you think is reliable and can take on this important task?"
"College Captain Dian Wei," Xun Yu said without hesitation: "This person is loyal to the lord and is extremely brave. He led his troops to take charge of this matter, and is the best candidate."
Han Zhan fell into deep thought about the candidate proposed by Xun Yu: Yes, after several months of getting along, Dian Wei has followed him wholeheartedly and asked him to lead a unit to rob the tomb. He may not refuse. But such a powerful general would not let him charge in the battle, but instead let him steal the grave and dig the grave. This would be a bit of a useless trick.
Just when Han Zhan was hesitating, Guo Jia took the initiative to propose: "Lord, I think this matter should be called Zilong, Xiahou Captain, Dian Captain and others here to discuss it. Let's see what the three of them think?"
Guo Jia said that he would call Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, but Han Zhan thought it was natural. After all, the troops in Jizhou were under the control of Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei was the candidate proposed by Xun Yu. But what is the purpose of calling Xiahou Lan? Thinking of this, he asked in confusion: "Why did Fengxiao call Xiahou Lan?"
"Lord," Guo Jia smiled faintly and said to Han Zhan: "If Captain Dian is unwilling, we at least have a reserve candidate. Is there any danger in this way?"
"Yes, yes, Fengxiao is right. Be prepared for any trouble," Han Zhan praised Guo Jia's statement, walked a few steps towards the door and shouted outside: "Come here!"
With Han Zhan's shout, Chen Dao, who was leading the team on duty outside the meeting hall, immediately strode in and bowed to Han Zhan with his fists: "I wonder what the lord has to give?"
"Shuzhi," Han Zhan walked to Chen Dao and ordered him, "Immediately send someone to find Zilong, Dian Wei, and Xiahou Lan, and say I have something to discuss with you."
Zhao Yun and others had just left the provincial governor's mansion and were caught up by Rob who had sent out before they returned to the military camp. Rob came to Zhao Yun and bowed with fists: "General Zhao, the lord has urgent matters to summon him. Please rush to the provincial governor's mansion immediately."
Zhao Yun quickly glanced at Xiahou Lan who was walking with him and asked, "Are you the only one recruiting me?"
Luo Bu had sharp eyes and had already seen Xiahou Lan beside Zhao Yun, and quickly added: "The lord also asks the Xiahou Captain to return together."
After Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan left together, Rob asked others and found out that Dian Wei had already returned to the military camp, and hurriedly rushed to the military camp.
Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan returned to the meeting hall of the provincial governor's office and saluted Han Zhan. Han Zhan waved his hands to the two of them and greeted him: "You sit down and wait until Dian Wei comes, I will discuss an important matter with you."
When Zhao Yun heard that there was something important, he felt particularly puzzled. When he was discussing the matter, didn’t he say that he would not take any military actions recently except for training troops? He rushed to call himself back at this moment. Did he have any unexpected changes?
After a while, Dian Wei hurried in. As soon as he walked into the conference hall, he couldn't wait to ask: "Lord, come here, is there anything important?"
"Dian Wei, sit down, I have important things to tell you." After Han Zhan and Dian Wei sat down, they told them about the tomb robbery discussed by Xun Yu and Guo Jia in the puzzled eyes of the three. Finally, he looked at Dian Wei and asked, "Dian Wei, I plan to ask you to lead these 500 people to dig to enrich the military salary. I wonder what you mean?"
When Dian Wei heard that Han Zhan had sent him such a task, the muscles on his face twitched violently for a few times, then stood up, stammered his neck and said, "Lord, I won't do this kind of thing that damages my good deeds."
Seeing that Dian Wei rejected him so simply, Han Zhan smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Since the Captain Dian is unwilling to be responsible for this matter, then Benhou will order others to be elected."
"Lord," Zhao Yun stood up, clasped his fists at Han Zhan and said, "We have sufficient food and supplies, so there seems to be no need to do such a thing that attracts people all over the world."
"General Zilong," Xun Yu, who had been talking to him, saw that things were in danger of losing control, quickly stood up and said to Zhao Yun: "We want to expand our troops and repair the city, which will inevitably cost a lot of money. Now, the Jizhou treasury can run away with rats if they are empty. Apart from tomb robbing, I can't think of a better way."
"Brother," Han Zhan knew that if he didn't convince Zhao Yun, he would definitely encounter many obstacles if he wanted to withdraw personnel, so he said tactfully: "Our soldiers will become more and more, and the need for money and food will become greater and greater. This marquis does not want to plunder the people, which will make people angry and resentful, so he can only consider stealing some treasures from these tombs to enrich military pay and support his own soldiers. Tell me, is this wrong with this approach?"
After hearing Han Zhan’s heartfelt words, Zhao Yun was silent for a long time, and finally said, “My lord, what you said is also reasonable. I will not dare to object anymore. But if you have any questions, please give me the order.”
Han Zhan glanced at Dian Wei who was silent on the side, and then sighed: "I originally planned to let the Captain Dian be responsible for this matter, but he didn't expect that he would refuse. It seems that I can only find someone else."
"Lord, I am willing to take on this important task." Dian Wei was a straightforward person. When he heard the conversation between Han Zhan and Zhao Yun, he knew that he was not robbing the tomb to satisfy his own selfishness, so he changed his mind in time: "When will we take action? Please give me instructions."
Han Zhan returned to the middle and sat down. After sweeping his eyes over Dian Wei and Xiahou Lan, he spoke: "There are 500 soldiers and horses responsible for robbing tombs and making money. They are named 'Qiu Jun', and Dian Wei and Xiahou Lan are in charge of command. Dian Wei was promoted to General Qiu Zhonglang, and Xiahou Lan was the lieutenant of the Jinshima."
Dian Wei and Xiahou Lan hurried forward, bowed their hands and bowed: "The last general will take the order!"
"Remember," Han Zhan reminded the two of them: "The tombs robbed are mainly kings, princes, generals, and ministers, and wealthy businessmen as supplemented by wealthy and tycoons. The graves of ordinary people must not be destroyed at will. After Qiu Jun enters the tomb, he will only take property and not destroy the corpse. After emptiing the treasures in the tomb, he must seal the opening hole so that no one will enter again."
Regarding the regulations made by Han Zhan, Dian Wei and Xiahou Lan looked at each other and replied in unison: "I will obey the order!"
Xiahou Lan took a step forward and asked respectfully: "Lord, I don't know who should hand over the property we take every time?"
Han Zhan looked at Xun Yu on the side: "All the property taken from the tomb will be handed over to Changshi Xun."
"The last general understands." Xiahou Lan said and retreated.
Before Zhao Yun and the other three left, Han Zhan solemnly reminded them: "This matter is not glorious after all. Except for you and Qiu Jun's brothers, no one can let more people know about this. Do you understand?"
"I will understand." The three of them agreed in unison, turned around and left the conference hall.
Guo Jia looked at the backs of the three of them and said thoughtfully: "Lord, do you think the three of them will feel a grudge against you because of this?"
Before Han Zhan could answer, Xun Yu rushed to say, "I have been worried about Fengxiao. I think the three of them are loyal to Zhan'er. Especially General Zilong, he and Zhan'er are friends for eight times, but they have experienced life and death together, so they will not have any strange intentions."
Han Zhan was anxious to go back to the backyard to talk to Cai Yan, Lihua and the others about life, and was unwilling to stay in the meeting hall for too long, so he said perfunctorily: "Yes, Fengxiao is too worried. I have already explained the matter to them clearly. I guess they won't have any bad ideas. By the way, Fengxiao, if you are fine tomorrow, I will go to the military camp with my uncle to help my elder brother and others choose the right candidates and form the 'Qiu Jun'."
"Subordinate to obey the order." Guo Jia agreed and left the conference hall with Xun Yu.
Han Zhan returned to the backyard swayingly. Without going back to his room, he walked towards the place where Cai Yan lived. As a result, he encountered Jade. Jade asked with a smile, "Mr. Tinghou, where are you planning to go?"
Han Zhan didn't expect to meet Jade here. He laughed dryly and pretended to be serious and said, "I want to see if Miss Cai is used to living. Also, I asked Rob to bring someone to plate the kang for them. Is there any good one?"
After hearing Han Zhan's words of stealing the bell, Jade couldn't help but cover his mouth and laughed. But when he saw Han Zhan's eyes that wanted to eat people, he quickly lowered his head and stood up with a respectful attitude: "Qi Bingting Marquis, Miss Cai has already fallen asleep. If you want to see her, you can only wait for tomorrow."
