Things in the world are really a coincidence. If Han Zhan had not secretly sent someone to bring Xu's mother to come to win over Xu Shu; if it weren't for Xu Shu's repeated, Li Hua went in to deliver things, and by chance he saw the jade pendant Xu Shu took out, this bloody scene would have probably not happened.

"Marquis Ting!" Xu Shu bowed to Han Zhan again and said gratefully: "Marquis Ting's kindness to the Xu family will never be forgotten. If there is any way to do it in the future..."

Before Xu Shu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xu's mother. She glared at Xu Shu fiercely and said unhappily: "Fu'er, you must know how to repay kindness in life. Shouldn't Tinghou repay such great kindness to our Xu family?"

Xu's mother said something confused. He looked at his mother and asked in confusion: "Mother, don't you understand what you mean?"

Xu's mother pointed at him with her hand and said in a tone of regret: "Fu'er, you are now a subordinate of Marquis Ting, but the old man who you say is Marquis Ting, not a lord. Are you planning to leave Marquis Ting sooner or later?"

Although Xu Shu has been a subordinate of Han Zhan for a long time, he always called Han Zhan the Marquis of Ting, and has never called him the lord, because he still has to observe whether Han Zhan is the lord who is worthy of his service. At this moment, he couldn't help but hesitate when he heard Xu's mother say this, not knowing whether to obey his mother's order or to observe Han Zhan for a while before making the final decision.

Han Zhan noticed the strange atmosphere inside, and he was not a fool, so he quickly spoke to Xu's mother: "Old lady, whether Yuan Zhi is willing to serve this marquis depends entirely on him personally, and this marquis is definitely not to force others."

"Have you heard it?" Xu's mother turned to Xu Fu again and said, "Mr. Ting is unwilling to force you to make a choice. Where can you find such a reasonable lord?"

Xu Shu was very filial. Seeing that Xu's mother repeatedly mentioned changing her name, she was unwilling to let her mother down. So she bowed deeply to Han Zhan and said respectfully: "Shu, please see the lord!"

Although this is just a change in the title, it means that Xu Shu is willing to take his position as the main one. As long as he does not do anything that is angry with heaven and people, he will never leave him. Han Zhan hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xu Shu up, and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi is exempt from the gift!"

Han Zhan turned his head and said to Xu's mother: "Old lady, I want to send someone to Yingchuan to bring your second son Xu Kang to Jizhou to reunite with Lihua and his daughter. I wonder if it is possible?"

Although Li Hua was separated from her father since she was a child, and the relationship between father and daughter was not too deep. But at this moment, when Han Zhan took the initiative to send someone to Yingchuan to pick her father up, her tears couldn't help but flow down her cheeks. Xu's mother held her in her arms and said lovingly: "My poor child, wait for a while before you can reunite your father and daughter. Kang'er's illness has been around for more than ten years, and maybe it will be cured when she sees you."

When Xu's mother talked about treatment, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel moved, saying: Since she came to this dynasty, she has seen Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing and Dong Feng, two miraculous doctors from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, have never seen them. It is said that Zhang Zhongjing is in Chang'an at this moment, and it seems that someone needs to send a letter to Ju Su immediately, asking him to invite Zhang Zhongjing to Jizhou.

Han Zhan chatted with Xu's mother for a few more words, then said goodbye and left. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the room, Xu Shu also walked out: "Lord, please stay!"

Han Zhan stopped and asked, "Yuan Zhi, what's the matter?"

"Lord!" Xu Shu walked up to him and said to him: "About the issue of assigning Yongye Field to soldiers, my subordinates want to talk about their views."

Assigning Yongye Field to soldiers was just a whim, but Han Zhan had no idea what to do, so after throwing it to Xu Shu, he basically didn't ask about it. He heard that Xu Shu had different opinions, and he quickly said, "Please speak Yuan Zhi!"

"There are more than 100,000 soldiers in Jizhou now." Xu Shu said carefully: "Even if each person only allocates ten acres of land, it will still require one million acres. The subordinates are worried that there is not so much land to allocate."

"Don't worry Yuanzhi," Han Zhan waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "The land in Jizhou is not enough, so let's go to Qingzhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou. Anyway, I will sooner or later take all the lands of the four states into my own hands." When he said this, he suddenly thought of a question and asked again, "I remember that there are only more than 80,000 soldiers in Jizhou. When did it become a hundred thousand people?"

Hearing Han Zhan’s question, Xu Shu smiled bitterly and replied: “When you say lord, since the dictatorship to allocate Yongye Field to soldiers, the enthusiasm of the people in Jizhou to join the army has increased unprecedentedly, and the number of people participating in the city alone has exceeded 10,000.”

When Han Zhan was shocked when he learned that there were tens of thousands of people joining the army in Jizhou alone. He thought that even if he introduced the policy of allocating land, there would not be too many people willing to join the army in the short term. Unexpectedly, he underestimated the level of love for land in this era.

Just when he felt a headache, Xu Shu said again: "Lord, you have not been to the military camp for several months. If you have free time tomorrow, please ask you to go to the military camp. The soldiers are looking forward to you."

After Xu Shu's reminder, Han Zhan couldn't help but blush. He thought that since he had a skin-loving relationship with Cai Yan, he had basically never left the provincial governor's office except for delivering food to Cao Cao. Although no one of his subordinates said anything, many people probably treated him as a fool in their hearts. He nodded quickly and said to Xu Shu: "Okay, the Japanese Marquis of Ming Dynasty will go to the military camp to inspect in person."

The next morning, Han Zhan got up early in the morning. After washing up, he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he took Rob and a team of cavalry toward the barracks.

When he arrived at the gate of the military camp, Han Zhan was held by the soldiers guarding outside the gate. The Du Bo, who led the team, said politely to Han Zhan: "Please wait here, the younger one will go and report to General Zhao immediately!"

Rob, who was following behind, asked angrily at Dub, "Since you know it's the lord, why do you still block our way?"

Han Zhan quickly raised his hand to interrupt Rob's words and said to him: "Uncle Du did the right thing, he is doing his own duties." After that, he waved to the other party and ordered: "Go and report to General Zhao quickly!"

Not long after, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Huang Zhong and others came to the camp in a panic and saluted Han Zhan together: "I will meet the lord!"

Han Zhan was welcomed into the meeting hall by everyone. He sat in the middle carelessly and said to everyone a little embarrassedly: "Everyone, I have been plagued by civil affairs recently and have no time to come to the army to inspect. The affairs in the army have trouble you."

As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Zhao Yun stood up and said respectfully: "Where is the lord who says something? Training troops is a matter of subordinates, so how can you talk about the word "hard"?"

After reporting on military affairs to Han Zhan for a while, Zhao Yun suddenly said, "My lord rushed to the military camp like this, probably haven't had breakfast yet. It happened that a chef came to the army a few days ago. The lord might as well try his skills." After seeing Han Zhan nodding and expressing permission, he immediately shouted outside: "Please bring in the mutton soup and noodles!"

When Han Zhan heard Zhao Yun call for mutton soup and noodle cakes, he was stunned. He instinctively linked these two things to Zi Gu. While the sheep head soup had not been brought in, he hurriedly asked Zhao Yun: "Zilong, I wonder where this cook is from?"

Although Zhao Yun was not sure about Han Zhan’s purpose of this question, he answered truthfully: “He is a local and works as a cook in a mutton soup restaurant. When he heard that the government was going to recruit soldiers, he came to sign up. The recruiting army Sima knew that he had good cooking skills, so he arranged him in the kitchen.”

When the soldiers brought the mutton soup and noodles, Han Zhan tasted it and couldn't help but smile: It was indeed a familiar taste. He quickly said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, call the chef up, I want to talk to him for a few words."

When everyone in the hall saw that Han Zhan didn't eat, they put down the chopsticks in their hands. Seeing that everyone didn't eat, Han Zhan hurriedly greeted them: "Why are you stopping? Eat quickly! The chef and I are acquaintances. I want to chat with him for a few casual words. Everyone doesn't have to worry about me, just eat."

Ge Bei in the kitchen, when he heard that General Zhao was about to see him, he was so scared that he shivered. He thought that since he entered the military camp, he had been cautious in his words and actions, and had done nothing wrong. He suddenly asked him to go there, what would happen? Although he was very scared, he still followed the people sent by Zhao Yun to the conference hall.

As soon as he walked into the hall, he saw that the army was full of generals on both sides, and everyone was burying their heads to eat. Only when Ge Bey passed by them, he occasionally looked up at him and no one paid attention to him.

Ge Bie saw Zhao Yun sitting beside him, and quickly knelt down on one knee in the last issue and said respectfully: "Little Ge Bie, please see the general. I wonder what instructions are the general who is recruiting villains here!"

"Ge, it's not that I want to see you." Zhao Yun pointed his hand at the center of the conference hall, "It's the lord who wants to see you!"

"Ge Bei." Han Zhan looked at Ge Bei below and smiled and said, "Why did you come to join the army if you are not a chef in Zigu's mutton soup restaurant? By the way, are you and Zigu already married?"

Ge Bie knew Han Zhan knew his background, so he hurriedly lay in front of Han Zhan, kowtowed a few times, and said, "If you go back to your lord, Xiao and Zi Gu have never been married yet."

"Oh?!" Ge Bei's words surprised Han Zhan, "I see that you have a deep affection for Zi Gu, why haven't she agreed to marry you yet?"

Hearing Han Zhan’s question, Ge Bie shook his head and replied with a wry smile: “Zi Gu thinks that the villain is incompetent, and he has no ability except to make mutton soup and noodles. Last time the thug came to the shop to make trouble, if the lord hadn’t helped, even if Zi Gu was kidnapped by the villain, the young man would be helpless.”

From Ge Bie's words, Han Zhan analyzed that the reason why Zi Gu was reluctant to marry the chef who had a crush on her was because he felt that he was not capable. In order to win Zi Gu's heart, Ge Bie decided to join the army and change his image in Zi Gu's mind by making achievements. Thinking of this, he asked Ge Bie tentatively: "Ge Bie, is it because Zi Gu doesn't want to marry you that you can join the army?"

"Lord, wisely!" As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Ge Bei immediately replied: "I want to make some small contributions when I enter the military camp and follow my lord to fight in the east and west. In the future, when the villain returns, I can only let Zi Gu look at him differently."

"Ge Bee, don't worry, sooner or later, you can return home in glory, so that Zi Gu can look at you with admiration." Han Zhan smiled and said to Ge Bee, "When I go to ask for a wedding banquet, you must not give it to me."

"Lord, if you can come to the villain when he gets married to Zigu in the future, it is a matter of giving the villain's face," Ge Bie said with a smirk, "How can you not give you a wedding wine?"

The generals who were having dinner on both sides couldn't help laughing when they heard Han Zhan and Ge Bei.

Han Zhan was about to wave Ge Bei to retreat, and accidentally glanced at the mutton soup in front of him, then stopped him again and asked humbly: "Ge Bei, I have one more thing to ask you."

Ge Bei replied respectfully: "I dare not take it if you ask me. What is the lord? Just ask me if you have anything. As long as the villain knows it, he will know everything."

"When I was in the mutton soup restaurant, I heard Zi Gu say that if the mutton soup tastes delicious, I must put a fish in when making the soup." When Han Zhan said this, he said a little embarrassedly: "But when I asked my servants to make it according to law, the soup tasted quite delicious, but there were many fish bones in the meat. I want to ask, how did you remove fish bones?"

When Ge Bei was stunned when he heard Han Zhan say this, he then asked back: "Dare you ask the lord, when the servants of the mansion cook mutton soup, did he wash the fish and put it directly into the soup pot?"

"Yes, this is what I did." Han Zhan knew that Ge Bei asked this, there must be a reason. Maybe it was the operation steps here that were wrong, so he asked quickly: "Is there anything wrong?"

"When the river fish is put into the soup pot, it will boil for half an hour, and the fish bones will spread into the mutton soup. If you drink it directly, it will easily be stuck in the throat." When Ge Bei said what he is good at, he no longer had any nervousness, but talked endlessly: "So when my family makes mutton soup, they always wrap the fish with cloth, tie it with a thin rope, and put it in the soup pot. When the fish meat is almost cooked for half an hour, then take out the cloth bag. In this way, the mutton soup tastes delicious, and there will be no fish bones in the soup."

Han Zhan silently remembered what Ge Bei said in his heart, then waved to Ge Bei and said to him: "Okay, there is nothing you have to do here, you can step down first."

When Ge Bei left the meeting hall, Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that there would be so many things to pay attention to if the mutton soup tastes good."
