Chapter 0020: Every Ji visits
In order to prevent the recurrence of assassins, Zhang He took the initiative to strengthen the defense of the camp and sent more personnel to work at several entrances to carefully check every person entering and leaving.
After all this, Zhang He returned to his tent and said to Han Zhan and Xun Chen who were still here: "Young Master, Zhang has strengthened the defense of the camp. However, for the sake of safety, before returning to Jizhou, I hope that the two of you can stay in Zhang's tent to ensure your safety."
"General Junyi said very well." Zhang He said this because it was his duty to protect Han Zhan and Xun Chen's safety. If something happened to the two, he would have to commit suicide and apologize. When Xun Chen heard him say this, he immediately nodded desperately and said with the flow: "Since that's the case, then Zhan'er and I have been bothering General Junyi these days."
"There are so many assassins here." Han Zhan said disapprovingly: "I guess there are only these three assassins. Before we return to Jizhou, there should be no new assassins. Everyone should not worry about it."
"Young Master, I'm afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one," Zhang He couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that Han Zhan did not take his safety to heart: "I think it's better to be careful. I've been wronged that you and Mr. Xun have been living here for the past few days..."
"Okay, General Junyi, no need to say anything more." Han Zhan interrupted Zhang He's words, turned his head to look at Xun Chen and said, "My uncle has been here these days. I have Zilong's protection, so I guess there will be no more problems."
"Yes, yes, that hundred general has good martial arts skills. Today, the three assassins were killed by him. If he protects you, I will definitely not encounter any danger again." Xun Chen thought of Zhao Yun's majesty during the day, and immediately agreed with Han Zhan's proposal: "Uncle, I will stay with General Junyi for the past two days."
Zhang He originally wanted to persuade him again, but seeing that Han Zhan had made up his mind and thinking that Zhao Yun's martial arts skills were very good, he probably had no problem dealing with several assassins, so he nodded and said, "Since the young master planned to go to Zhao Yun's place, Zhang would not force him. Anyway, the tents are not far away. If there is anything, just a greeting, Zhang will rush over immediately."
Han Zhan nodded, and when he was about to get up, a long man suddenly lifted the curtain and walked in. He came to Zhang He and bowed and bowed: "I report to the Sima of the army, Mr. Fengji, the chief of the Yuan Cheqi, who was asked to see him."
When he heard that Feng Ji was visiting, Zhang He did not dare to make a decision casually, but turned his head to look at Han Zhan and waited for him to make a decision. Han Zhan nodded and said, "Since Mr. Feng Yuantu is here, why don't you invite him in!"
Feng Ji entered the tent and saw Han Zhan and Xun Chen. He immediately gave a deep bow and said politely: "See the young master and meet Mr. Xun. Ji's politeness is here."
"Mr. Yuantu, please give up the gift." Xun Chen stood up and greeted him, and said in front of Han Zhan: "I don't know that Mr. Chen has not come far to welcome him, so please forgive me."
When Han Zhan heard the two of them talking nonstop, he felt a little impatient, but he was not easy to show it, so he had to force a smile to look at the two. After the two of them finally finished their greetings and each took their seats, he asked, "Mr. Yuantu, I don't know if I have any advice when I come to visit late at night?"
"Mr. Han, Mr. Xun." Feng Ji bowed to the two and said, "My lord knows that the two were almost assassinated during the day, and he is uneasy. In order to prevent any trouble from happening again, I would like to ask Ji to lead five hundred troops to protect your safety."
"Thank you Yuan Cheqi for your kindness," Han Zhan and Feng Ji finished speaking, immediately stood up and thanked: "With these five hundred soldiers, we can rest assured."
After a brief silence, Feng Ji said embarrassedly: "Young Master, how many words do Ji have? Don't you know whether to say it or not?"
Han Zhan guessed that the other party would definitely defend Yuan Shao, so he stretched out his hand, "Mr. Yuantu, but it's okay."
"My lord was extremely shocked when he learned that the prince and Mr. Xun were assassinated. He was afraid that Chunyu Zhongjian and the prince had a misunderstanding, so he did this confused thing for a while." Feng Ji looked heartbroken and said, "I sent a quick horse to return to the camp to learn about this matter. When General Zhongjian learned about this matter, he was confused. He assured the lord's envoy that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with him."
Speaking of this, Feng Ji deliberately paused for a moment, observed Han Zhan's expression, and saw that the other party looked as usual, he continued to say: "If the young master has any doubts, my lord can ask Zhong Jian Xingye to come here to accept the interrogation between the young master and Mr. Xun."
When Han Zhan heard this, he understood in his heart the purpose of Yuan Shao's decision to Feng Ji was to defend himself, and to test himself. So he smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Yuan Tu's words are wrong. Yuan Cheqi is a cavalry of Yishigong, Gao Fengyizhi, and the crown of the country. He was a hero at that time. How could he have an unworthy subordinate? Han believed that the matter of the assassin today had nothing to do with Yuan Cheqi."
Seeing Han Zhan acting so reasonable, Feng Ji also had a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that the young master's evaluation of my lord is so high. I wonder if he is willing to belong to my lord in the future."
When Han Zhan heard Feng Ji persuaded him to become Yuan Shao's subordinate, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, saying that Yuan Shao was just a flash in the upcoming Three Kingdoms chaotic times, and there was no future to join him. Even Zhang He, who was by his side, abandoned Yuan Shao and defected to Cao Cao during the Battle of Guandu. Wouldn't he, a person who knew the progress of history, choose a monarch with a future to join him?
However, in order not to offend Yuan Shao, he could not refuse too clearly, but said, "Mr. Yuantu was joking. When Yuan Cheqi entered Jizhou, all the civil and military officials and the people of Jizhou would regard him as the lord of Jizhou. As a member of Jizhou, Han naturally could no longer do anything about it."
Feng Ji saw that Han Zhan said nothing, and neither said he wanted to defect to Yuan Shao nor said he would not seek resignation. He could not press too much, but instead asked: "Young Master Han, I wonder if you have a partner of doubt?"
"Gongsun Zan!" As soon as Feng Ji finished speaking, Han Zhan said without hesitation: "Gongsun Zan has always been eyeing my Jizhou. Now he is in the north of Jizhou and is ready to march south at any time. Now he may see his father giving the seal of Jizhou to Yuan Cheqi, so he sent an assassin to stop our two families from cooperating."
The instigation of Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou and Han Fu gave Jizhou to Yuan Shao at the end of his own way out was originally Feng Ji's plan. Now he heard Han Zhan's words of conviction that the assassin might have been sent by Gongsun Zan, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious. And the more he thought, the more he felt that this possibility was greater. From various signs, if Han Zhan died, the biggest beneficiary would be Gongsun Zan. As long as Han Fu's son was killed in the Yuan army camp, Yuan Shao would be unaware of it. Whether he could successfully enter Jizhou would become an unknown. Although Han Fu had handed over his seal, he would never tolerate a person who killed his son and became the lord of Jizhou.
