Chapter 0025 It's too late to regret
"Young Master, what are you talking about? You're too quiet, and I can't hear it clearly." Han Zhan was thinking about it all, suddenly heard Li Hua's voice: "Speak louder."
Lihua's voice woke Han Zhan from his thoughts. He immediately realized that he was just thinking too much, and he unknowingly said everything in his heart. He quickly changed the subject and asked: "Lihua, what's the relationship between me and my second brother?"
When Li Hua heard Han Zhan’s question, she was stunned at first, and then she thought that the young man had forgotten almost all the past since he fell off a horse and was injured. When she woke up that day, she saw her expression, she seemed to be looking at a stranger. She was like this to her maid who had been with her day and night, let alone other people.
Lihua quickly replied, "Is this a big deal? Of course, it's because of my brothers and brothers. The second young master not only respects you normally, but also speaks very politely when he sees me and does not show off at all."
Originally, Han Zhan had already thought that his second brother was the culprit of the assassin's assassin, but after hearing Li Hua said this, he couldn't help but doubt his guess. After careful consideration, he decided to see the second brother himself. Seeing the other party's expression when he saw him, he could basically tell the truth of the matter.
Thinking of this, he looked up and asked Lihua: "When does the second young master practice martial arts every day?"
Lihua thought about it, then said in an uncertain tone: "It's probably Xu time."
“What time is it now?”
"It's already the hour of Xu."
Han Zhan stood up from the wooden barrel and ordered: "Lihua, help me change my clothes. I want to go to the garden to see my second brother practice martial arts."
Lihua responded, wiped Han Zhan, who had just come out of the bucket, and then took the clothes he had prepared and put them on one by one for him. After putting on the clothes, she tentatively persuaded: "Young Master, the second master practices more than an hour every day. You should go after dinner."
"I'll have dinner when I'm back." Han Zhan, who was eager to find out the truth, couldn't wait for a minute, and there was nothing to worry about eating. But in front of Li Hua, he wanted to pretend to be nothing: "I haven't seen my second brother for many days, so I'm going to talk about the past."
"Young Master, even if you and the second master haven't seen each other for many days, you won't be in a hurry to meet you." Li Hua continued to persuade: "You'd better go after dinner. I'll call the patch over now and ask him to move the wooden barrel away."
Before Lihua could walk out of the room, Patch hurriedly ran in and shouted in panic: "Young master, it's not good, Young master, something happened..."
"What a panic!" Han Zhan frowned and asked dissatisfiedly: "Patch, tell me slowly, what happened?"
"Report to the young master," Patch quickly lowered his eyebrows and replied: "The Lord of the Mansion is back!"
"This is Fujun's home. After receiving the marquis of Guixiang, what's wrong with returning to his own home?" Han Zhan asked in confusion: "Is it worth your fuss?"
"Young master, you'd better go and have a look," said Patch with a sad face, "You'll understand everything after you look."
When Han Zhan heard Patch's tone, it seemed that something big happened, so he quickly asked: "Where is the mansion?"
"Just entering the gate, I was walking towards the main hall..." Before the patch was finished, Han Zhan had already run past him like a gust of wind and headed towards the main hall in front.
After entering the main hall, he saw two servants lighting oil lamps inside. Han Zhan quickly asked loudly, "Where is the mansion?"
A servant pointed outside, "The Lord of the Mansion is still in the yard."
Han Zhan looked out the door and saw two rows of lanterns slowly coming. He hurriedly went up. With the help of the lantern light, he saw clearly that Han Fu, who had been in a state of spirit and even surrendered to be Yuan Shao, was driving. At this moment, his eyes were dull and his steps were staggering. The man in his early forties looked like an old man in his seventies and eighties. He didn't even have the strength to walk around, but was supported by two servants and moved forward little by little.
After Han Fu was placed in the main hall, Han Zhan beat the servants out and asked with concern: "Father, you shouldn't be in the provincial and ministers' office at this moment and accompany the marquis of the Wei Township to have a banquet. Why are you so frowning?"
"Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Guo Tu," Han Fu said viciously, "I respect them very much. Unexpectedly, as soon as they saw Yuan Benchu, they could not wait to change the door. My ex-Master of Jizhou was still sitting next to him, and they showed goodwill to Yuan Benchu as if no one was around, and they simply didn't take me seriously..."
After Han Zhan and Han Fu complained for a while, he asked carefully: "Father, don't know how the Marquis of the Weixiang City plan to resettle you?"
Han Fu looked bleak and said with regret. "Xun Chen once said that as long as I gave Jizhou to Yuan Shao, he would definitely thank me for my virtue, and Gongsun Zan would not dare to rush his troops south again. In this way, I not only have the reputation of giving up the wise, but also as stable as Mount Tai in Jizhou. Who knew that today Yuan Shao actually appointed me as the General of Fighting and Brave, and could not manage the army or the people. It was just a false title with name but no real name."
Hearing this, Han Zhan sighed inwardly, saying that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person, and Han Fu was also reaping his own consequences. But then he thought, in such a large Jizhou, there could not be only two loyal ministers, Geng Wu and Minchun, and there should be many civil and military officials who opposed Yuan Shao's move into Jizhou. Thinking of this, he asked tentatively: "Father, although there are people who are competing for the power, Jizhou must have loyal ministers who are unwilling to serve Yuan Shao. I wonder if there are such people?"
When Han Fu didn't notice that when he talked with his son, he had already changed his name to Yuan Shao from the Marquis of Guixiang and Yuan Benchu. He thought for a while and replied: "When he went out of the city to welcome Yuan Shao this morning, all the civil and military officials in Jizhou arrived, and only two people said they were sick and were at home and they would be in the future."
"Are they Geng Wu and Min Chun?" Han Zhan asked.
Unexpectedly, Han Fu shook his head and replied, "Geng Wu, Min Chun has already resigned from his post and left me. Today, the person who claims to be sick at home is the counselor Ju Su and Tian Feng."
Ju Su and Tian Feng, when they heard these two names, the muscles on Han Zhan's face twitched violently. He thought to himself that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ju Su Tian Feng was two of the most capable strategists under Yuan Shao, especially Ju Su. After being captured by Cao's army, even Cao Cao wanted to recruit him. If you have such a good strategist under your command, you don't know how to use it, it's a waste of resources. No wonder you can't keep the foundation of Jizhou.
At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the door: "Father, I heard you have returned home, so I'll come to see you." Han Zhan looked in the voice and saw a slightly tender boy walking in from outside. He was wearing a black arrow suit, carrying an iron arch, and carrying an arrow bag on his back. Seeing Han Zhan sitting aside, he was stunned for a moment, and then a surprise expression appeared on his face, "Brother, why didn't anyone tell me what you came back?"
Although Han Zhan had never seen this person before, he guessed that this person should be his second brother Han Bing from his age and dress. He nodded to the other party and said lightly: "It's almost an hour since I've been back. I've just finished my bathing and hadn't come to have dinner yet, but I heard from the servants that my father was back, so I rushed over to pay my respects."
Han Bing nodded, came to Han Fu and knelt down on one knee, put the iron-feed bow in his hand aside, and asked with concern: "Father, what happened to you that made you so frustrated?" After hearing Han Fu talk about the situation, he grabbed the iron-feed bow and stood up suddenly, and said furiously: "Yuan Shao is a dog thief, who is too bullying. My father is here to wait for me to finish the provincial governor's mansion and shoot Yuan Shao to death with one arrow. My father can be the Jizhou governor again."
As soon as Han Bing came in, Han Zhan was observing him carefully. He did not show any strangeness, and even expressed his true feelings towards Han Fu. If all the things he saw were fake, then his acting skills were enough to win the Oscars. If the Three Kingdoms had an Oscar.
Seeing Han Bing turning around and going to find Yuan Shao’s bad luck, Han Zhan quickly got up and hugged him in the waist, and said loudly: “Second brother, don’t be reckless. Yuan Shao has a wide range of soldiers and generals. If you break through alone like this, you will hit the stone with an egg."
Han Bing threw the iron arch in his hand to the ground and said angrily: "Brother, are we just watching our father be humiliated by Yuan Shao's dog thief?"
