The cavalry commander saw Wen Chou's soldiers appearing in the north, and looked at Huang Zhong who was fighting with Yan Liang again, and then said to Han Zhan: "Don't panic, lord, wait until the end will open a bloody road for you." After that, he rushed towards the army with fifty cavalry.

Han Zhan watched the cavalry commander rush towards Wen Chou without hesitation, and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart. Although he knew that Wen Chou was of high martial arts, he wanted to have a miracle. Even if this cavalry commander could not defeat Wen Chou, as long as he could support him for a while, Huang Zhong defeated Yan Liang and could go over and support him.

Then things went against my wishes. The cavalry commander walked for only two rounds under Wen Chou and was stabbed under a horse with a shot. The fifty cavalrymen were soon destroyed in the opponent's military formation.

Seeing that the cavalry commander was killed and the 50 cavalrymen who attacked were destroyed, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel despair. He held the sword in his hand tightly and prepared to fight with the other party to the death when Wen Chou rushed up.

At this moment, Wen Chou's rear army suddenly had a chaotic chaos. A horse rushed into the formation. The current general held two halberds in his hand and fought with Wen Chou. Han Zhan saw that it was Dian Wei who was coming clearly, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He raised his sword high and shouted loudly: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, kill!"

Although Han Zhan had a small number of cavalrymen around him, their mounts were equipped with stirrups, so that their combat effectiveness could be long and wide. As soon as they rushed into Wen Chou's formation, they immediately rushed Yuan Bing into pieces.

Wen Chou and Dian Wei's martial arts are not the same. If they fight alone, they will take at least two or three hundred rounds to decide the outcome. At this moment, they can't help but feel a little panicked. At this moment, they suddenly heard a loud roar in the distance: "Zhao Zilong, Changshan, is here!"

"Brother is here too!" Han Zhan felt more at ease when he heard Zhao Yun's voice. Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou had high martial arts skills, they had to face Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei at the same time, and they could only end up giving away their heads. Zhao Yun's arrival became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Wen Chou's subordinates immediately ran away in scattering.

Seeing that his subordinates were killed, Wen Chou quickly shot and forced Dian Wei back, and then drove his horse to escape to Yan Liang's location. Zhao Yun and Dian Wei chased each other closely behind.

On the official road to the south, Yan Liang, who was indistinguishable from Huang Zhong, suddenly saw Wen Chou escape in a mess, followed by a general who used a gun and a double halberd, hurriedly left Huang Zhong and rushed towards Zhao Yun and Dian Wei.

Yan Liang and Huang Zhong fought for a long time and were already exhausted. At this moment, in order to save Wen Chou, he didn't care. He rushed forward and slashed Zhao Yun with a knife. Zhao Yun knocked his sword with the spear in his hand, and then swept across the thousand troops and swept towards his neck. Yan Liang was so scared that he quickly shrank his head and avoided Zhao Yun's fatal shot, but his helmet was swept away by the tip of the gun.

Yan Liang did not dare to fight, so he fled south with Wen Chou. Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei chased each other closely behind. When the two fled into the formation, Yuan Bing immediately surrounded Zhao Yun and others, greeted him with a spear and a short sword, and came from time to time, which made Zhao Yun and others overwhelmed.

Han Zhan was afraid that Zhao Yun and others would make any mistakes, so he quickly ordered Mingjin. When Zhao Yun heard Mingjin's voice, he stopped fighting and slowly retreated.

When Zhao Yun came to him, Han Zhan held the other party's hand and said excitedly: "If it weren't for the eldest brother and Dian Wei arrived in time, I guess the life of this marquis would have been here." After saying the words of gratitude, he suddenly remembered why Zhao Yun and Dian Wei would appear so timely? He asked curiously: "Brother, aren't you in Jizhou? Why did you appear here?"

In front of everyone, Zhao Yun did not call Han Zhan as brothers, but replied respectfully: "Xun Gongda received the letter sent by the lord, and was quite pleased to know that the emperor had been rescued from Chang'an. Unexpectedly, he heard that the lord was left behind and the lord was left with Ju Jianjun and others to take the lord first. For fear that the lord would be in danger, he ordered his troops to come and pick him up."

Han Zhan's eyes turned to Dian Wei on the side, and then asked, "How did Dian Wei come from?"

"Return to the words of the lord," Dian Wei quickly replied, "I and the lord Ju Army escorted the lord. After crossing the Yellow River, I joined the army led by Mr. Guo and returned to Guantao. I happened to meet General Zhao. When Mr. Guo saw Zilong, he shouted badly, saying that the lord might be in trouble, so he ordered me to lead troops to accompany General Zilong to pick up the lord. As soon as we left the city, we met the cavalry sent by the lord to ask for help, so we immediately rushed over."

After listening to Zhao Yun and Dian Wei's narration, Han Zhan finally understood why the two of them came so timely. At the same time, he felt a little dissatisfied with Guo Jia, feeling that he was not as magical as recorded in history.

When passing the place where the battle had just begun, the corpses on the ground had been packed up. Han Zhan saw the corpse of the cavalry lying on the ground and turned his head to Huang Zhong and said, "If the cavalry ruthless commander led 50 cavalrymen to fight to the death, I am afraid that this marquis would not have been able to wait for Zilong and Dian Wei to arrive. Han Sheng, find a place immediately and bury them well."

...

Han Zhan led the army to Guantao, Guo Jia, Gao Lan and others were already waiting at the city gate.

After meeting with the two, Han Zhan asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, I wonder where the army and the emperor are now?"

"Return to the words of the lord," Guo Jia replied respectfully, "They have set off for Jizhou." He was worried that Han Zhan would not get off his horse or take off his saddle, so he went to chase Emperor Xian of Han, so he persuaded, "Lord, the soldiers are exhausted all the way, and they will rest in Guantao for a night before returning to Jizhou?"

In fact, even if Guo Jia didn't say it, Han Zhan didn't want to leave. He went with the flow and said, "Since that's the case, then the army will rest here for a night and it will not be too late to rush to Jizhou tomorrow."

After dinner, he summoned the civil and military officials in Guantao City to serve the ceremony. He said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, my marquis originally wanted to wait for the beginning of spring, so he ordered you and Xun Gongda to lead troops to capture Qingzhou. However, when the beginning of spring, it may delay the spring plowing and sowing, affecting the harvest of Qingzhou. In this way, even if we conquer Qingzhou, the people will still be unable to survive due to shortage of food. Therefore, my marquis intends to postpone the day of going to war until summer."

Hearing Han Zhan say this, Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others said in unison: "Lord is wise!"

After discussing for a while, Han Zhan asked everyone to retreat, leaving Guo Jia alone. He said casually: "Fengxiao, this time I met someone on the road, and there is still a lot of connection with you?"

When Guo Jia heard Han Zhan say this, he was stunned and asked back: "I have some connection with me. I wonder who the lord is talking about?"

Han Zhan asked with a smile: "Do you still remember the madam Bagu in Huanuan Pavilion in Sheguo County?"

"Remember." Guo Jia once regarded the Huanuan Pavilion as his home. After eating and living there for several months, he could not remember the madam Bagu. But he asked in confusion: "Master, why did you remember to ask her? Could it be that the person you met on the road was her?"

"That's right." Han Zhan nodded and said, "This time I was chased by Li Guo's soldiers. Robu was seriously injured in order to save me. It was Bagu who saved him. According to my Marquis' observation, Bagu seemed to be a little interested in Robu and planned to Yucheng and the others. I wonder if Fengxiao is willing to be this matchmaker?"

When Guo Jia heard that it was this, he laughed twice and replied, "This is a good thing for adulthood. There is no reason why Guo refused. If the lord doesn't bother too quickly, he might as well let them get married tonight."

"It's too early to get married tonight." Han Zhan waved his hand and said, "Robu is seriously injured and is not awake at this moment. If you want to have a wedding banquet, you have to wait for two months."

The two chatted for a few more times, and Guo Jia suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Lord, I have something to do with you, I don't know whether to talk about it or not!"

Seeing Guo Jia talking hesitantly, Han Zhan felt a little displeased: "Fengxiao, you are the military advisor of this marquis. Just say whatever you have. There is no need to look forward to it."

"Although the lord rescued the lord from Chang'an, all the civil and military officials are still in the capital." Guo Jia frowned and said to Han Zhan: "If Li Jue, Guo Si and others establish a new king again, then everything we have done will be in vain."

Guo Jia's words were like a wake-up call, which made Han Zhan tremble in a cold war. He only thought about how to rescue Emperor Xian of Han, but he didn't expect that without the words of civil and military officials, what would be the use of an emperor? If Li and Guo declared to the world that Emperor Xian of Han died suddenly and supported the new king, the Emperor Xian of Han in his hands would not only not be a helper, but would become a hidden danger.

Thinking of this, he asked tremblingly: "Fengxiao, I understand what you mean. If Li and Guo support the new king, they can also tell the world that we are looking for someone to pretend to be the sages and order the princes to siege us. Isn't it right?"

"That's right." Guo Jia nodded in response to Han Zhan's speculation and expressed his affirmation: "As long as the new king ascends the throne, our Jizhou will become the target of public criticism. Not to mention conquering Qingzhou and pacifying Bingzhou, even defending Jizhou will be a problem. And once we lose our righteousness, we will face the situation of being betrayal of our relatives."

Guo Jia's words shocked Han Zhan and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly asked Guo Jia for advice: "I don't know what can I do to overcome the difficulties in front of me?"

"We can only take risks," Guo Jia said carefully: "Send capable people to meet Li Guo and Guo, Xu and the Marquis, and ask them to send civil and military officials to Jizhou. At that time, our crisis will be solved."

"But, who should we send?" Han Zhan felt that what Guo Jia said was a solution, but he was worried about the candidates for the mission. If the messenger sent could not convince Li Guo and the others, it would only make things worse. "Fengxiao, do you have the right candidate?"

"There is one." Han Zhan just asked casually with a lucky mentality, but Guo Jia replied confidently: "When this person takes action, with his eloquence, he will definitely convince Li and Guo and ask them to send all the officials to Jizhou."

When Han Zhan heard that there was such a talent in Jizhou, he couldn't help but lit up and asked quickly: "Fengxiao, don't you know who you are talking about?"

"Shi Tao Shi Guangyuan."

"That friend of Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi?"

“That’s right!”

Han Zhan was a little hesitant about the talents recommended by Guo Jia. Although this person was on par with Cui Zhou), Meng Gongwei, Xu Yuanzhi and others were called "Zhuge Four Friends", but there is no detailed record of his abilities in history books. Han Zhan only remembers that this person later joined Cao Cao, was appointed as the lieutenant of the Diannong School, and also served as a county magistrate.

"Lord," seeing Han Zhan stop talking, Guo Jia urged: "I wonder if you think this person is okay?"

Han Zhan thought quickly in his mind, thinking that since this person could be appointed as the Diannong Captain and the County Magistrate by Cao Cao, it was proved that he still had real talents and knowledge. He might as well send him to try it. Anyway, the worst situation was that Li and Guo pretended to be the sages and asked the princes of the world to launch troops to attack him.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan nodded and said, "Since he was recommended by Xiaoxiao, then Benhou naturally had no objection. When we returned to Jizhou, we ordered him to go on a mission to Chang'an to find a way to rescue all civil and military officials."

Seeing that Han Zhan agreed to his proposal, Guo Jia was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to Han Zhan and said, "Lord's statement!"

After the big event was over, Han Zhan talked about private matters with Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, I wonder if Zhao Ji had sent a letter to Jizhou during the period when I left?"

After hearing this, Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Zhao Ji is filial to Shizhong Cai, so she may not care about the affection of her children." After saying this, seeing the expression on Han Zhan's face fading, he quickly added, "But in Guo's opinion, Miss Cai will not forget her lord." His words made Han Zhan happy again.

"By the way," said Cai Yan, Han Zhan suddenly remembered Lu Bu who had crossed the Yellow River with the Saint. There was also a beautiful beauty named Diao Chan who was famous all over the world by his side. I don't know where they went: "Where are Lu Bu and his men who are passing through the army of Ju Jian, there are also Lu Bu and several of his subordinates, where are they now?"

"After Ju Jianjun brought the carriage to meet us, Lu Fengxian walked south with a few people, saying that he was going to join Yuan Shu." Guo Jia said expressionlessly: "But there was a man named Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, who had four subordinates named Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng stayed, and followed Ju Jianjun and others to Jizhou."

Han Zhan never thought that Lu Bu would surrender to him. He walked with him at that time, but because he was desperately chased by Li Guo's troops, he temporarily hid himself. Now that he has crossed the Yellow River and has left Li Guo's sphere of influence, he can do whatever he wants. As for Zhang Liao and others staying behind, it was beyond Han Zhan's expectations, which could be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
