Han Zhan lived a very comfortable life in the following days. During the day, he discussed affairs with Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others in the conference hall, or went to the military camp to see Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong train troops. After dark, he went to Cai Yong's house to listen to her playing the piano and write poems with her. Of course, he was also indispensable to do something about men and women's love and a short night.

Although Han Zhan has no literary talent, I don’t know if there were adventures during time travel. His memory is now particularly amazing. Even the poems and songs he read when he was studying are memorable. In addition to songs and songs, he cannot compare with Cai Yan, but the other poems he has come to speak out. Seeing that the wishful husband he likes is so versatile, Cai Yan even puts his heart all on him.

Early this morning, after Han Zhan helped Cai Yan draw his eyebrows, he was searching for appropriate poems in his mind, preparing to praise Cai Yan's beauty, but heard the patch shouting outside in a hurry.

Han Zhan knew that since he was staying with Cai Yan, as a butler, there was nothing important to him and he would never disturb him. So he asked outside: "Patch, what's the matter?"

"Reply to the young master," Patch replied outside the door: "Mr. Guo asked me to invite you to the meeting hall and said that a Lord Chen came to visit."

"Mr. Chen?" Han Zhan frowned when he heard the patch say this, and thought to himself: "Which Lord Chen, is it Chen Zhen and Chen Xiaoqi? If he doesn't stay in Guantao and become his prefect, why did he go to Jizhou to do?"

With this question, Han Zhan came to the conference hall, but unexpectedly found Guo Jia, Xun Yu and the others chatting with a civil servant with a strange face. Seeing Han Zhan walk into the conference hall, several people hurriedly came up and bowed: "See lord!"

"No gift!" Han Zhan raised his hand to the people, indicating that they didn't need to be polite. After Xun Yu and the others stood up, he looked at the strange civil servant and asked, "I wonder what this lord calls me?"

"See the Marquis of Ting," a civil servant who seemed to be in his early thirties bowed to Han Zhan and introduced himself: "My surname is Chen, his name is Gong, and his courtesy name is Gongtai, and he is a subordinate of Cao Cao in Dongjun."

"Chen Gong?!" When he heard this name, Han Zhan almost turned dark and fell to the ground. He thought to himself that Chen Gong had quietly left him because Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe's family by mistake, and said something like "I would rather let the world down than let the world down", and he quietly left him. Why has he become Cao Cao's subordinate now?

After Han Zhan sat down in the middle, he frowned and thought for a while, and finally figured out the problem. His understanding of Chen Gong all came from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was very different from the real history. He looked at Chen Gong and asked with a smile: "Mr. Gongtai came to Jizhou from Dongjun, I wonder what he had to do?"

"Tinghou," Chen Gong said respectfully: "This year, the grain harvest in Dongjun is a bad one. The prefect Cao is worried that the yellow will not be accepted next autumn, so he sent me here to borrow grain from Tinghou."

"Borrow grain?!" After hearing Chen Gong's purpose, Han Zhan asked expressionlessly: "I wonder how much food and grass should I borrow from this marquis?"

Chen Gong stretched out his right hand, made a gesture and said, "Eighty thousand hu."

Eighty thousand hu. When Han Zhan heard this number, he couldn't help but sneer, thinking that I and Cao Mengde were not close to each other, and I had never even seen each other before. He actually dared to speak loudly and ask me to borrow 80 thousand hu of grain. You can really speak.

However, he did not write his dissatisfaction on his face, but asked Guo Jia without saying a word: "Fengxiao, can we borrow this grain?"

Guo Jia from this time and space has never had any contact with Cao Cao, so he naturally would not help him. He thought for a while and replied: "Lord, 80,000 hu of grain is not a small amount. Even if we lend it to Cao Prefect, I don't know how he transported so much grain from Jizhou to Dongjun?"

Hearing Guo Jia’s words, Han Zhan immediately knew what he should say: “Yes, what Fengxiao said is very true. If we are in a relationship with Yuan Shao, we will definitely pass by Yuan Shao’s territory. Once he sends people to rob the grain, how should we deal with it?”

Chen Gong had long been prepared for Han Zhan's request to refuse his request to borrow food, but after hearing what he said, he really felt that this was an unsolvable problem: the soldiers and horses of Dongjun would definitely not be able to come to Jizhou to transport food; while the soldiers and horses of Jizhou would inevitably pass through Yuan Shao's territory, and would not be able to escape the fate of being hijacked.

Seeing Chen Gong's embarrassing expression, Xun Yu was a little embarrassed and quickly stood up and said to Han Zhan: "Lord, I have a way to do it, don't you know whether it should be said or not?"

When Han Zhan heard that Xun Yu unexpectedly did not call his name, but called him the lord, he knew that what he was going to talk about was very important, so he nodded at him and said, "Sir Xun, please speak!"

"Jizhou has sufficient food and grass, only 80,000 hu can be just a drop in the pot." Xun Yu said slowly: "We can transport the food and grass to Guantao, and then notify the prefect Cao to lead troops to Guantao to collect the food and grass. As for whether Yuan Shao will send troops to intercept them when they return, it has nothing to do with us."

As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, Xun You agreed: "What Xun Changshi said is extremely true, and my subordinates will discuss it!"

Then Tian Feng also stepped out and said, "I will also discuss it!"

Seeing Xun's uncle and nephew and Tian Feng say good things to him, Chen Gong gave them a grateful glance.

Han Zhan saw that Xun's uncle and nephew and Tian Feng were all helping Cao Cao say good things. If he objected again, he would be a villain. He stared at Chen Gong for a while, and suddenly thought that when Cao Cao sent troops to attack Xuzhou, Chen Gong inexplicably betrayed him and went to Lu Bu. Since Chen Gong could join Lu Bu, why can't he join him?

In order to leave a good impression on Chen Gong, he did not object to the matter of borrowing grain: "Okay, then Chief Xun will hurry up and prepare to lend the grain to Dongjun. After the preparation is completed, the Chief Huang will take people to Guantao."

After assigning the task to Xun Yu, Han Zhan said to Chen Gong again: "Mr. Gongtai, please send someone back to report to the prefect Cao and ask him to lead his troops to Guantao to receive food and grass."

Seeing that he finally fulfilled his mission and completed the errands assigned by Cao Cao, Chen Gong suddenly showed a relaxed expression on his face. He hurried forward and bowed to Han Zhan: "I represent the people of Dongjun, thank you Marquis Ting!"

After killing Chen Gong, Han Zhan ordered Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, immediately send someone to Guantao and inform Xiahou Lan to strengthen his defense and prevent the soldiers of the Dongjun County from using grain to destroy Guo."

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia had a smile on his face when he heard Han Zhan say this. Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Han Zhan couldn't help but ask strangely: "Fengxiao, why are you laughing at?"

"Lord," Guo Jia replied with a smile: "Jia thought you would ignore this, but she didn't expect you to take these things into consideration."

Seeing that he was the only one in the conference hall, Han Zhan lowered his voice and said to Guo Jia: "By the way, Fengxiao, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Seeing Han Zhan's mysterious expression, Guo Jia guessed that it must be a particularly important thing. In order to prevent the partition wall from being heard, he also whispered: "Law, please speak!"

"Chen Gongtai is quite strategic, and I want to recruit him." In front of Guo Jia, Han Zhan, that is, the real person, said bluntly: "I don't know what Fengxiao thinks?"

"As far as Jia knows," Guo Jia shook his head after hearing Han Zhan's words, "Cao Mengde failed to assassinate Dong Zhe and fled from Chang'an. He was captured by soldiers guarding the pass halfway. It was Chen Gongtai who was loyal and righteous, so he abandoned his official position and ran away with him. Jia believed that if he wanted to recruit him, it was tantamount to seeking fish from the land."

Seeing that Guo Jia had no great hope for recruiting Chen Gong, Han Zhan decided to tell Guo Jia about Lu Boshe: "Can you know about Lu Boshe?"

"Lu Boshe?!" Guo Jia's face showed a confused expression when he heard this name: "Who is he?"

"Lu Boshe is Cao Mengde's father's sworn brother. Chen Gong abandoned his official position and fled to Chenggao and came to Lu Boshe's home." Han Zhan was not sure whether Lu Boshe's incident was true or not, but he still told Guo Jia: "Lu Boshe was visiting his brother's son. Although he knew that he was painted with pictures, he was still warmly welcomed. Because there was no good wine at home, he went to the neighboring village to buy wine overnight.

The servants of the Lu family sharpened their knives in the backyard and were preparing to kill pigs to entertain Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, when Cao Cao heard the whetstone, he thought the other party was about to plot against him, so he rushed in without saying a word and killed all the servants and the Lu family. Only when the pigs tied in the kitchen realized that they had killed the wrong person.

When the two hurriedly left the Lu family, they met Lu Boshe who had returned from drinking. In order to prevent Lu Boshe from appearing in killing, Cao Cao actually killed Lu Boshe at the same time."

"No, is Cao Mengde like this?" Guo Jia opened his eyes in surprise after hearing this, and asked in an incredible tone: "He is such a wolf-hearted person. Dare Jia thought he was a good person."

However, Guo Jia was considering the problem more comprehensively. After a moment of silence, he found one of the doubts: "Lord, Jia thinks this statement is unreliable. As you said just now, everyone in the Lu family was killed by Cao Cao, so only Cao Cao and Chen Gong knew about it. They both would be secretly informed about it. So who revealed this matter?"

Guo Jia's question really stopped Han Zhan. He couldn't tell Guo Jia that he saw this in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", right? In that case, it would be strange if Guo Jia didn't treat him as a madman. He coughed heavily and then said, "There is a god three feet above his head. If you don't know, I will not do it unless you do it yourself, this is something that I occasionally heard of. If I hadn't seen Chen Gongtai today, I wouldn't have remembered this."

After listening to Han Zhan’s half-true explanation, Guo Jia said thoughtfully: “If this matter is true, then Jia believes that he is still somewhat sure to recruit Chen Gong.”

…………

The envoy sent back to Dongjun from Chen Gong, and on the fifth day, he brought Cao Cao's handwritten letter. In the letter, Cao Cao said that he was preparing to personally lead 3,000 troops to Guantao to receive the grain and grass loaned from Jizhou.

After seeing the letter from Chen Gongcheng, Han Zhan nodded, stood up and ordered: "Person Huang, tomorrow morning, you will lead three thousand troops to escort the food and grass to Guantao."

Huang Zhong quickly stepped out and replied, "I will obey the order!"

However, when Chen Gong thanked Han Zhan, Han Zhan saw Guo Jia winked at him. He immediately remembered the agreement with the other party two days ago, and quickly added: "This time lending grain to Dongjun is related to the life and death of the people of Dongjun. This batch of grain and grass must not be lost. Therefore, this marquis decided to personally escort this batch of grain and grass to Guantao with Captain Huang."

Han Zhan's decision, the people below had different expressions. Guo Jia was the initiator, so he naturally smiled secretly; but Xun's uncle and nephew were shocked and said in unison: "Lord, you are a body of gold, how can you take a dangerous place in person?"

"Tinghou," Although Chen Gong was particularly moved when he heard Han Zhan say he wanted to escort this batch of food and grass to Guantao, he still advised him kindly out of concern for Han Zhan's safety: "If the cold land is cold today, it is difficult to leave. In my opinion, Tinghou does not have to go this trip in person. I am here to express my gratitude to Tinghou!"

"Public Terrace," Han Zhan left his seat, walked to Chen Gong, helped him up, and said with a smile on his face: "I am really worried if I don't personally deliver this batch of grain and grass to Guantao and hand it over to the hands of the prefect Cao. Gongtai, you go back and rest first. Tomorrow morning, I will take the grain and grass to Guantao with me to escort it."

When Chen Gong heard Han Zhan say this, his eyes turned red and he quickly bowed and bowed again: "Thank you, Marquis Ting! In this way, I will leave first!"

"Mr. Gongtai, please!" Han Zhan waved his hand to Chen Gong: "We will see you tomorrow."

After Chen Gong left, Xun Yu, who was so anxious that he stomped his feet, came over and asked Han Zhan: "Zhan'er, only Captain Huang is responsible for transporting grain, why should you go this trip yourself?"

Han Zhan naturally would not tell Xun Yu in public that I was going to recruit Chen Gong. In order to leave a good impression on him, he decided to go to Guantao in person. His eyes rolled and immediately took a plan: "Uncle, we will fight with Yuan Shao in the future. If we can win over Cao Mengde, he will be able to send troops to restrain him, and we will have greater confidence in winning."

"If you want to contact Cao Mengde, Zhan'er can send a special envoy to Dongjun." Xun Yu said angrily: "Why do you have to go there yourself?"

"My uncle doesn't know. If this marquis sends people to discuss with Cao Mengde, what conditions the other party has put forward, the messenger sent will need to come back to ask this marquis for instructions. This time, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth." Han Zhan continued: "If this marquis goes in person, the situation will be different. If there is any problem between the two parties, this marquis can make a decision on the spot."

Although the reasons that Han Zhan said were far-fetched, they could not refute. Xun Yu could only smile bitterly and said helplessly: "Since Zhan'er has made up her mind, then my uncle will no longer stop her. Everything is up to you."

Seeing that no one objected to his trip to Guantao, Han Zhan began to instruct everyone: "When I was not in Jizhou, all the affairs in the state were handled by Xun Changshi and Mr. Guo."
