Chapter 228 Return to Jizhou

The large group of people came to the Yellow River again. This time, they were lucky. They found Yang Feng left several large ships by the river, and each time they could carry more than 100 people across the river.

Han Zhan originally wanted Huang Zhong to lead people to cross the river first, but Huang Zhong was worried about Han Zhan's safety and refused. Seeing that Huang Zhong insisted so much, Han Zhan did not force him, so he ordered the cavalry and governor to cross the river first to the other side. He and Huang Zhong stayed here and waited to go to the town to pick up Luo Bu and Ba Gu's men.

Although the water level they chose to cross the river was gentle and the river surface was not too wide, because there were not many soldiers who could ride boats, the speed of crossing the river was extremely slow, and it took at least one hour to travel back and forth.

When Han Zhan saw this situation, he was anxious, but he had no choice but to do anything. He could only pray in his heart that Li, Guo Si and others should not go back, otherwise these thousand people would have to jump into the Yellow River.

Fortunately, what Han Zhan was worried about did not happen, and Huang Zhong suddenly shouted: "Lord, look, the carriage that Rob was riding in is here."

Han Zhan looked in the direction of Huang Zhong's finger and saw a cavalry guarding several carriages slowly coming towards the river. Thinking of Rob being in one of the carriages, Han Zhan suddenly grabbed the horse's belly and rushed out. Huang Zhong was afraid that Han Zhan would encounter any danger, so he followed him to chase him.

Du Bo, the cavalry escorting the carriage, saw two cavalry rushing from the river, and was about to make his subordinates be alert, but suddenly he saw clearly that Han Zhan and Huang Zhong were actually rushing over. He hurriedly ordered his subordinates to slow down and wait for the arrival of the lord and the captain.

When Han Zhan and his men arrived in front of the carriage, the cavalry hurriedly bowed to them on the horse's back and said, "See the lord, see the captain Huang."

Han Zhan was anxious to see Rob, so he waved his hand and said, "No gift!" and then asked, "I wonder which carriage Rob is in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain in front of the second carriage was lifted, revealing the beautiful face of Bagu: "It turns out that Marquis of Ting is here, I am polite here!"

Seeing that it was the eighth aunt who saved Luo Bu's life, Han Zhan hurriedly bowed to her and said politely: "It turned out to be the eighth aunt. You saved Luo Bu and please accept the benefactor's greeting."

"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it." Seeing Han Zhan bow to him, the eighth aunt waved her hand and said, "I can't afford to be the great gift of Tinghou."

"Eighth aunt, don't know where Rob is now?"

"Just above my carriage." Bagu raised his hand and lifted the curtain higher, and said to Han Zhan: "If Hou Ting doesn't dislike it, please get into my carriage."

Han Zhan was not polite, so he turned over and got off the horse, walked to the front of the car, and with the help of the coachman, he got into the car. As soon as he entered the car, he smelled a pungent smell of medicine and couldn't help frowning slightly.

When the eighth aunt, who is good at observing words and expressions, saw that Han Zhan despised the strange smell in the carriage, he hurriedly laughed and said, "Mr. Ting Jun is seriously injured, and the wounds on his body are covered with ointment. The smell is a little bit worse. Please don't mind."

Han Zhan came to Luo Bu and looked at the subordinate who had been guarding his safety. Thinking that he was still unconscious now, he couldn't help feeling sad. Fortunately, Ba Gu said in time: "Tinghou, don't worry, Luo Junye's injury seems serious, but it's actually okay. Just rest for a while and you can recover."

"Did the doctor say that?" Han Zhan asked in a suspicious tone.

Bagu did not hear Han Zhan’s voice outside the painting, and replied truthfully: “We placed Luo Junye in the inn in the town, which was the wounds that the miraculous doctor Hua Tuo treated him. He said that as long as he had a good rest, he would be able to recover completely for up to two months.”

"Miscellaneous Doctor Hua Tuo?" When Han Zhan heard this name, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked Bagu, "I dare to ask Bagu, I wonder where Mr. Hua is now?"

"It's in the last car," Bagu pointed his hand behind and said, "Doctor Hua said he wanted to go to Jizhou, so I let him get on the carriage behind and walk with us."

When Han Zhan learned that Hua Tuo was going to return to Jizhou, he was overjoyed and thought that he would send troops to conquer Qingzhou in two months, and the army was in urgent need of doctors. If Hua Tuo had a miracle doctor helping him, it would greatly reduce the mortality rate of injured soldiers in the army.

Han Zhan got out of the car, came to the last car, and said respectfully to the carriage: "Han Zhan, the governor of Jizhou, ask to see Mr. Hua Tuo."

After a while, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Hua Tuo bent down and came out from inside, bowed to Han Zhan under the carriage and said, "Mr. Ting, it's been a long time since."

Han Zhan thought that many cavalrymen in the army were injured. Since Hua Tuo was here, he could ask him to help him treat him, so he didn't care about greetings and said bluntly: "Doctor Hua, the soldiers under this marquis, were injured in the battle with the bandits. I wonder if the sir can help him treat him?"

If Han Zhan and Hua Tuo were talking about something else, Hua Tuo probably had no interest, but at this moment he heard that many soldiers were injured, so he could not stay there. He asked quickly: "I wonder where those injured soldiers are now?"

"It's right by the river!" Han Zhan pointed at the Yellow River with his hand, and then flattered: "If we can get help from Doctor Hua, many injured soldiers will be able to save their lives. Han said to them, thank Doctor Hua." After that, he bowed to Hua Tuo.

Although Han Zhan did not call himself "Benhou" in front of Hua Tuo, but said "Han", Hua Tuo did not notice the difference in the title at all. His mind was to treat the injured soldiers. He said anxiously: "Turn me over quickly."

Huang Zhong cast an inquiring look at Han Zhan. Seeing Han Zhan nodding slightly, he ordered the cavalry Du Bo who was escorting the convoy: "You are still standing here and doing something, but you don't quickly escort the gentleman to the river to treat the injured brothers." The cavalry Du Bo agreed and asked the groom to drive the carriage that Hua Tuo was riding towards the river.

Hua Tuo arrived by the river and ordered his medicine boy to get his own medical tools and began to treat the wounded by the river. Almost all the injured soldiers were knife and gunshot wounds. When it comes to suturing the wound, the method Hua Tuo could use was to roast the iron bars red on the fire and then directly on the wound.

Some soldiers were sweating profusely, but they still gritted their teeth and held on; some soldiers fainted from the pain on the spot. There were even two more seriously injured people who were suffering from pain.

Han Zhan stood not far away, listening to the screams of the soldiers and the hissing sound of iron bars on his skin, and smelling the burnt smell of flesh coming from the air, he couldn't help feeling a little disgusted. But in order to maintain his image in front of his subordinates, he still endured it.

But when the ferry came back from the other side of the river, Hua Tuo had already treated more than 100 wounded people. Seeing that the boat arrived at the shore, Han Zhan arranged for everyone to board the ship one after another and prepare to cross the river to the other side.

Hua Tuo and Han Zhan were on the same boat. When the boat arrived at the center of the river, Hua Tuo suddenly whispered to Han Zhan: "Marquis Ting, there are probably seven or eight of these more than 100 wounded soldiers who are unable to protect their lives; there are more than twenty people, even if they are injured, they will be disabled for life, and they may not be able to play swords anymore in the future."

He heard that there were about thirty people who could not save their lives or would suffer from lifelong disability. Han Zhan felt uncomfortable. He was silent for a while and said to Hua Tuo: "Mr. Hua, even if these soldiers cannot go to the battlefield again in the future, I will not ignore them. This marquis is preparing to give the soldiers in the army Yongye field. To these disabled sergeants, they will also be given a certain amount of land so that they can have food and clothing in the future."

"Yongyetian?" When Hua Tuo heard this term, he felt it was very fresh. He asked curiously: "This is the first time I have heard of Yongyetian. I wonder what it is?"

"Doctor Hua," Han Zhan found that the Yongyetian he was preparing to promote seemed to be insufficient in publicity. He had never heard of Hua Tuo, who had traveled around the world, and quickly explained to him: "Yongyetian is the land that they can pass on from generation to generation after giving it to this family."

After hearing Han Zhan's explanation, Hua Tuo couldn't help but nodded and said with emotion: "If Tinghou could really promote the Yongyetian system, it would be a great thing with immeasurable merits. The foundation of the Han family in Jizhou would definitely be as stable as Mount Tai."

The ferry reached the other side, Han Zhan counted the people and then slowly walked north along the official road. Next, they would pass through Hanoi County, Cao Cao's East County, and Wei County controlled by Yuan Shao, and rushed to Guantao to meet with Gaolan's troops in a few days.

Although they were all cavalrymen, the several carriages and numerous wounded soldiers in the team slowed down the marching speed of the entire team. When they were in Hanoi County and Dong County, there was no need to worry about being attacked. After all, the prefects of these two counties had some friendship with Han Zhan, especially Cao Cao, who had borrowed grain from Han Zhan not long ago. The only thing to be wary of was Yuan Shao from Wei County, who had a deep blood hatred with Han Zhan.

When he was in Hedong County, the road was safe and sound. When the county magistrates in the small town learned that there were troops passing through the county, they immediately ordered the city gates to be closed so as not to be disturbed.

After entering Dongjun, many horses appeared near the official road. After learning that it was Han Zhan's troops, they left one after another.

On the fourth day, the large group of people entered the territory of Wei County. Han Zhan ordered Huang Zhong to send someone to Guantao to inform Gao Lan and ordered him to send someone to go south to respond, while ordering to speed up and pass through Wei County as soon as possible.

The messenger asking for help was sent out just now, when Han Zhan and his team were attacked by a county soldier. Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of these troops was not strong, and the troops of more than 500 people were rushed by Huang Zhong and two hundred people, and they immediately scattered.

On the fifth day, Han Zhan and his friends finally arrived less than a hundred miles away from Guantao. Just as Han Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, the cavalry behind him came to report that they saw a large area of ​​dust rising on the official road to the south.

When Han Zhan heard the report, he felt a little sneering. Guantao was on the north side of the official road, and a large amount of smoke and dust appeared in the south at this moment, which only means that it was the troops sent by Yuan Shao. He felt that he ordered the troops to speed up and wanted to meet up with Gao Lan's troops going south as soon as possible.

But the troops behind came very quickly, less than a stick of incense, only two or three miles away from Han Zhan and the others. Seeing that the situation was not good, Huang Zhong quickly said to Han Zhan: "Lord, you take your people first, and I will lead 500 cavalrymen to cut off the rear."

"No," Han Zhan thought that the number of cavalry was not large, and if the troops were divided into two groups, the strength would be weak. If Gao Lan did not send troops south in time, once he was intercepted on the front road, he would be likely to be destroyed. He denied Huang Zhong's proposal, "We should speed up and try to get rid of the pursuers behind and join the troops of the high school captain."

But things were not as simple as Han Zhan imagined. They walked forward for only five or six miles before being chased by the soldiers behind. Han Zhan saw the ensuing soldiers with a big word "Yan" written on the flag of the pursuers, and couldn't help but complain in his heart. It turned out that it was Yan Liang's pursuit. Since Yan Liang was here, Wen Chou must be not far away. He quickly ordered the soldiers to stop and prepare to face the enemy here. After defeating Yan Liang, he continued to rush forward.

Yan Liang saw Han Zhan's soldiers stop, and he also strangled them. He rode forward alone, pointed at Han Zhan with the big knife in his hand and said, "Mr. Han, I think about your friendship. As long as you dismount and get tied up, Yan will never hurt you for one soldier."

Seeing that Yan Liang was riding alone, Han Zhan also walked out of the crowd and said to him: "General Yan, are you okay? Although I believe in your character, I can't believe in Yuan Shao's character. Thinking about the fact that my father resisted the opposition and presented Jizhou to him, but he finally sent someone to kill him. I and Yuan Shao's dog thieves are incompatible. How could he surrender?"

"No," Han Zhan thought that the number of cavalry was not large, and if the troops were divided into two groups, the strength would be weak. If Gao Lan did not send troops south in time, once he was intercepted on the front road, he would be likely to be destroyed. He denied Huang Zhong's proposal, "We should speed up and try to get rid of the pursuers behind and join the troops of the high school captain."
