After Guo Jia left, Han Zhan stood up and went to the backyard of the guard general's mansion. He did not go back to the room he lived in, but went straight to the outside of the room where Luo Bu was recovering from his injuries.

The sergeant outside the door saw Han Zhan’s arrival and quickly knelt down on one knee to salute him: “See lord!”

Han Zhan waved his hand at them, looked into the room, and asked with concern: "How is the situation inside? Did Rob wake up?"

The soldier shook his head and said, "Go back to the lord, I haven't woken up yet. Doctor Hua is inside to help him treat his injuries."

"I understand." Han Zhan walked over, lifted the curtain blocking the door, and walked into the room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Luo Bu lying on the bed, Hua Tuo was bandaging his wound, but Ba Gu squatted aside, staring at Luo Bu who was still unconscious, with concern on his face.

Han Zhan didn't say anything, but stood aside and quietly looked at Hua Tuo who was busy. After bandaging the wound, Hua Tuo looked up accidentally and saw Han Zhan standing aside. He said unexpectedly: "I don't know when did the Marquis of Ting come? I didn't notice it. Please forgive me."

"Doctor Hua is not eligible." Han Zhan waved his hand at him and asked with concern: "I wonder how Robu's injury is? When will he recover?"

Hua Tuo wiped his hands clean, got up and twisted his beard and said, "He needs to rest in his injuries. If he could delay a few more days here, he would recover faster."

After hearing what Hua Tuo said, Han Zhan immediately made up his mind without hesitation: "Since that's the case, then we will stay in Guantaoduo for two days, and it will not be too late to wait until Luo Bu wakes up and then go."

After saying that, Han Zhan walked to the bed, squatted down and looked at Luo Bu lying on it, sighed gently, and said to Ba Gu who was squatting on the other side: "Ba Gu, I'll have to worry about taking care of Luo Bu."

The eighth aunt grinned and said, "What did Tinghou say? I was the first to be a good thing to do when serving the man. Since Tinghou handed over Luo Jun to me, I should do my best to take care of him."

When Hua Tuo came out of the house with the medicine box and Han Zhan, he whispered to Han Zhan: "Mr. Ting, I wonder if you can see that the eighth aunt has some affection for Mr. Luo Jun."

"I can see it." Han Zhan nodded and said, "I want the two to get married as soon as possible, but unfortunately Rob is still unconscious and can only postpone the marriage period."

…………

The next day, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others came to the guard general's mansion and asked Han Zhan to set off for Jizhou immediately. But Han Zhan shook his head and said, "Doctor Hua said that Luo Bu's injury needs to be rested. This marquis plans to stay here for two more days. When his injury improves, it will not be too late for us to set off again."

Zhao Yun and other generals didn't care about Han Zhan's arrangement, but Guo Jia was a little anxious: "Lord, have you forgotten what you and I discussed last night?"

After Guo Jia reminded him, Han Zhan also remembered the sending of Shi Tao on an envoy, and hurriedly said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, if you don't remind me, I almost forgot. Since we cannot return to Jizhou for the time being, we will summon Shi Tao to Guantao and let him go out of the capital from here."

After hearing what Han Zhan said, Guo Jia knew in his heart that he would probably not be able to return to Jizhou in the short term, so he could only say helplessly: "I will prepare a book for Shi Guangyuan and let him arrive at Guantao as soon as possible."

Seeing that Guo Jia wanted to say goodbye and leave, Han Zhan quickly called him and asked, "Fengxiao, I'll ask you, Chang'an and Luoyang are not suitable for capital. Where should we place the Holy Divine?"

"The lord once said that he would return Yuan Shao's two sons, Chunyu Qiong, his general, and recommend him as the governor of Yanzhou in exchange for him to give up Yecheng." Guo Jia heard Han Zhan ask himself, and quickly told Han Zhan's old strategy. After saying that, he paused for a moment and continued: "After Yuan Shao sent troops to intercept the lord yesterday, Jizhou and Yuan Shao were already incompatible and would never stop. If he still used the original strategy, it might not work."

"Then what should we do?" Zhao Yun couldn't help but interrupt and asked when he heard this.

"The lord said yesterday that taking Qingzhou can be postponed to the summer and autumn seasons." Guo Jia said to everyone: "Today we are not in a hurry to take Qingzhou. We can transfer our troops and horses to capture Yecheng. As long as we take down Yecheng, we can build a large-scale construction in the city to build a palace for the Shengjia..."

The beautiful prospects described by Guo Jia made everyone nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Everyone thought to themselves that if they took Yecheng first and built a palace in the city, they would be able to use the emperor to command the princes. In the future, the lord would dominate the world, and it would be just around the corner.

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Han Zhan asked everyone: "Everyone, do you all agree with what Mr. Guo said?" Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, he said anxiously: "Since everyone agrees with Mr. Guo's idea, then we will transfer the troops in Jizhou to Guantao and start a war with Yuan Shao as soon as possible."

"Fengxiao," Han Zhan stared at Guo Jia again and said, "Write a letter to Shi Guangyuan as soon as possible, ask him to go to the capital to ask Li and Guo for civil and military officials. If there are no civil and military officials, we can't just have a priest."

After Han Zhan finished speaking, Guo Jia asked him for instructions: "Lord, if you decide to attack Yecheng, it is better to take the Holy Driving back to Guantao."

"Why is this?" Han Zhan asked curiously about Guo Jia's proposal.

"Most of Jizhou is in the hands of our army." Seeing that everyone, including Han Zhan, were confused, Guo Jia explained to them: "But don't forget that the border bridge dozens of miles east of Jizhou City is in the hands of Gongsun Zan. If he took advantage of our troops to send troops to Yecheng and sneak attack Jizhou City, the Holy Lord might be robbed by him at that time."

When Han Zhan listened to Guo Jia's analysis, he felt a mess in his mind. He was originally planning to form Gongsun Zan so that he could calmly send troops to Qingzhou and Bingzhou, and put these two states into his jurisdiction; and then tempted Yuan Shao to give up Yecheng and build a new palace in the city for Emperor Xian of Han.

But at this moment, everything seemed to be in chaos. Gongsun Zan's troops were staring at the Jieqiao near the Jieqiao; and Yuan Shao in Yecheng hated him to the core, and even sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou to try to kill him.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan stood up and said to the civil and military officials: "Since Yuan Shao is so ungrateful, then we will teach him a lesson. Fengxiao immediately wrote a letter to Xun Changshi, ordering him and Zhang Heli to defend Jizhou for 20,000 troops, and the rest of the troops were transferred to Guantao."

…………

Five days later, the army and food and grass in Jizhou continued to enter Guantao City.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao all had their own spies in Guantao City. The news that Guantao army gathered soon spread to Yecheng and Dongjun.

After Cao Cao received the news, he immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss what Han Zhan had gathered so many troops. Cao Cao had five famous advisers: Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu. At this moment, the first three were already serving Han Zhan, and Jia Xu is still under Li Jue and Guo Si. The only one who can give advice for Cao Cao was left.

Cheng Yu walked out of the civil officials' lineup, bowed to Cao Cao, and said, "Qi Ren raised his hand, and in Yu's opinion, Jizhou soldiers gathered in Guantao to attack Yecheng."

As soon as Cheng Yu finished speaking, Cao Hong continued: "The walls of Ye City are high and the pools are deep. It is probably not easy for the soldiers and horses in Jizhou to seize the city."

"Jizhou has many soldiers and generals, and there is enough food and grass." He expressed his opinion on Han Zhan's upcoming attack on Yecheng: "As long as they send troops to surround Yecheng and then divide their troops to seize other cities, they can soon isolate Yecheng. When the soldiers and civilians in the city realize that Yecheng is already an isolated city, people's hearts will be fluctuating. At that time, Jizhou's troops attack again will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort and easily take Yecheng."

"What Mr. Cheng Yu said is the difference." Cao Ren also stood out from the crowd and said to Cao Cao: "Divide troops to fight is a taboo in military strategists. If the troops in Jizhou are siegeing the city while seizing other cities, once the plan is discovered by Yuan Shao's counselors and take the opportunity to counterattack, there is a possibility of being defeated."

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Don't General Cao Ren know that Jizhou belonged to the Han family, but was just taken away by Yuan Shao. Most of the officials in the counties were former subordinates of the Han family. As long as the Han boy climbed up and called out, many cities near Yecheng could go down without fighting."

"Mr. Cheng Yu said very well." Cao Cao finally spoke after listening for a long time: "Sir, if the soldiers and horses in Jizhou started a war with Yuan Shao, which side should we help?"

"Don't help each other, watch on the wall." Cheng Yu suggested to Cao Cao: "When two tigers fight, there will be one injury. When both sides are in trouble, we will come forward to do peace. If possible, we can still reap the benefits of the fisherman and get several cities from Yuan Shao."

"This plan is very wonderful!" Cao Cao nodded and said, "Then follow Mr."

Yecheng, Yuan Shao’s official residence.

Yuan Shao learned that Han Zhan's army gathered in Guantao, and hurriedly summoned all civil and military personnel to discuss the matter. After the people came to Qi, he told everyone about the gathering of troops in Guantao City, and then asked: "Everyone, tell me, what should we do?"

Feng Jixian stood up and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, soldiers come to block the water and soil, there are still 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yecheng, and the walls are high and the pool is deep. It is not easy for the Han family to seize the city."

Yan Liang and Wen Chou had just suffered defeat under Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others, and were still scared. At this moment, they heard that Jizhou soldiers gathered in Guantao and were about to come to attack Yecheng, and they were also a little anxious. Yan Liang hurriedly stepped out and said, "Lord, although there are 50,000 troops in Yecheng, most of them are newly recruited soldiers and have never fought in battle. If they fight with the Jizhou army, they may have no chance of winning."

Yuan Shao was an unintentional person. When he heard Yan Liang say this, he became more and more nervous. He turned his head to look at Xin Jing and asked, "Mr. Xin, what do you think we should do?"

Xin Ping said thoughtfully: "There is some truth to what Feng Yuantu said. If the Han children's army arrives, we just need to stay away and wait until they have run out of food, and they will naturally retreat."

Five days later, the army and food and grass in Jizhou continued to enter Guantao City.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao all had their own spies in Guantao City. The news that Guantao army gathered soon spread to Yecheng and Dongjun.
