Chapter 254 Reunion with Cai Yan
Before receiving the letter from Xiahou Lan, Han Zhan, who had never been able to get Cai Yan's whereabouts, was extremely depressed. Every day, he asked Chen Dao: "Shuzhi, can the troops of various departments have any information?"
As Han Zhan's subordinate, Chen Dao naturally understood what Han Zhan was asking, and quickly shook his head and said, "If you go back to your lord, there will be no news from all walks of life."
"Damn, what's going on? Why is there no news yet? Where did Feng Ji, the dog thief, go?" Han Zhan stood up and raised his foot and kicked over the table in front of him, walking back and forth in the conference hall with his hands behind his back.
Chen Dao quickly asked someone to put the table in a straight way, and then put the things that fell on the ground back on the table one by one. After doing all this, he waved his hand and asked the servant to leave, then stood by himself, waiting for Han Zhan's instructions.
Guo Jia walked in from outside with a swagger. Seeing Han Zhan like he was walking wild, he quickly pulled Chen Dao aside and asked whisperedly: "Shuzhi, what happened? The lord seemed a little unhappy."
"What else can happen?" Chen Zhidao Han Zhan looked around in the hall and replied to Guo Jia: "There are no messages sent to the outside to set up the checkout for three days, so the lord couldn't help but feel a little anxious."
"Yes, it's been three days." Guo Jia nodded and said, "There is still no news. If Feng Ji had not yet walked to the place where we set up the checkpoint, it would be better to say that if he secretly bypassed our level, it would be harder to rescue Miss Cai than to climb to the sky."
When Chen Dao heard Guo Jia say this, the muscles on his face twitched violently, and then asked back: "Mr. Guo, do you really think that Feng Ji Dog Thief has bypassed the checkpoint of our army and fled to Bohai County?"
"This possibility is not ruled out." Guo Jia nodded and said in an uncertain tone: "Actually, we just don't know if Feng Ji has passed the level. From now on, it is hundreds of miles away to Bohai County, and they will not be able to get there for a while. If we can grasp his whereabouts, we can use him at the right place..."
Before Guo Jia finished speaking, he saw a messenger rushing in from outside. He shouted excitedly: "Report to the letter from the lord, Captain Xiahou, he has rescued Miss Cai."
"What, Miss Cai has been rescued?!" Hearing the messenger shouted, the few people in the conference hall were stunned.
Chen Dao first reacted. He stepped forward and grabbed the messenger and asked impatiently: "What did you say just now, repeat it."
The messenger was shocked when he saw Chen Da's appearance of being fierce. But he still said tremblingly: "When the general's words, the Xiahou Captain sent me to deliver a message to the lord, saying that he had rescued Miss Cai."
"Where is the letter?" Guo Jia rushed over at this moment, reached his hand in front of the messenger, and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and hand the letter to me."
As soon as Guo Jia took the letter from the messenger, he had no time to read it, so he hurried to Han Zhan, handed the letter from his hand, and said, "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, Miss Cai finally has a whereabouts. This is a letter sent by the Captain Xiahou. Please check it out."
Although Han Zhan looked anxious when there was no whereabouts of Cai Yan. But at this moment when Guo Jia handed him a letter related to Cai Yan, he was a little timid. He stretched out his hand and immediately said back, and finally said guiltily: "You should give it to me by the marquis."
Guo Jia took out the letter from the envelope and opened it. When he saw Juanjuan's small characters on it, he immediately recognized that it was written by Cai Yan. He asked Han Zhan carefully: "Master, this letter was written by Miss Cai himself. Do you still want your subordinates to continue reading it?"
"Read it, read it!" Han Zhan waved to Guo Jia and urged: "Let me listen to what Zhao Ji said in his letter."
In Cai Yan's letter, he briefly introduced his experience of being kidnapped, and finally pleaded with Han Zhan, saying that the Huang brothers were bewitched by Feng Ji and did something wrong. I hope Han Zhan can be a good friend and not severely punished the Huang brothers.
When Guo Jia was reading a letter, he naturally skipped the sentence Cai Yan expressed his personal affection to Han Zhan directly, and only picked the contents of the kidnapped and read it to Han Zhan.
After hearing this, Han Zhan was so angry that he slapped his slap on the table and said angrily: "Damn it, this Fengji Gou Thief is really hateful. After Xiahou Lan takes him back to Yecheng, this marquis will definitely tear him to pieces to vent his anger."
When Han Zhan looked up, he saw the messenger standing at the door of the conference hall, he waved to him and asked him to come forward to reply. When the messenger came to him, Han Zhan smiled and said to him: "Brother, since the Xiahou Captain sent you to deliver the letter, you must be an eloquent person. So, tell us how the Xiahou Captain captured Feng Ji and rescued Miss Cai. If he spoke well, this marquis would definitely be rewarded."
The messenger was a little nervous at first, but when he saw Han Zhan being easy-going and even called himself a brother, his mood calmed down a lot. He coughed, cleared his throat, and began to tell the whole process of arresting Feng Ji. Although it was dull at this time, it was suddenly thrilling after his words, which made Han Zhan and others listen with relish.
After the messenger finished speaking, Han Zhan said to Chen Dao: "Shuzhi, this messenger has made great contributions to delivering the message and will reward him ten thousand yuan. Now you can take him down to receive the reward!"
The messenger thought that after he had told the content of the arrest of Feng Ji, Han Zhan was happy for a moment. At best, he rewarded him with only a few melons, but he did not expect that he was so generous and he could make ten thousand yuan at one time. He quickly knelt down and thanked Han Zhan: "Thank you, little, thank you lord, thank you lord!"
"Okay, you go down first." Han Zhan waved to the other party: "Follow General Shuzhi to receive the reward."
After Chen Dao and the messenger left, Guo Jia said to Han Zhan: "Lord, since Miss Cai has been rescued, then all the checkpoints we set outside the city can be withdrawn, right?"
"Retreat, all of them are gone." Han Zhan felt a little embarrassed when he thought of letting thousands of officers and soldiers starve and freeze in the wilderness for his own selfishness, and added: "My Hou Nian, the soldiers who work hard outside, each of them rewarded thousands of coins."
After Guo Jia recorded Han Zhan's order, he immediately asked someone to send him to various levels. Then he asked Han Zhan: "Lord, I wonder what you plan to deal with Feng Ji?"
"Feng Ji Dog Thief," Han Zhan thought that if Feng Ji had not instigated Yuan Shao to seize Jizhou, he might have been a carefree official child now. He lived a good life of clothes and food every day. After eating and drinking, he brought a group of evil servants to the street to tease the good women. Therefore, when he heard Guo Jia's question, he gritted his teeth and said, "Because of him, his father not only lost his foundation in Jizhou, but also took his own life. Now he has kidnapped Zhao Ji crazy. This marquis will not let him live in this world anyway."
In Guo Jia's mind, he also advocated severe punishment for Feng Ji, which would have the effect of killing the chicken and intimidating the monkeys, so that the surrounding princes could also see Han Zhan's iron-blooded side, so as not to make a mistake, and this would be of great help to seize the surrounding prefectures and counties.
"Fengxiao," Han Zhan explained his attitude towards Feng Ji, and discussed with Guo Jia a little uneasy: "According to what Zhao Ji said in the letter, they will take as long as two days before they can return to Yecheng. Look, can you stay in the city and temporarily replace all the affairs in the city?"
"Master!" Hearing Han Zhan say this, Guo Jia immediately guessed that he must have wanted to bring people to greet Cai Yan in person, so he asked tentatively: "I want to ask, how many soldiers do you plan to bring out of the city to greet Miss Cai?"
Seeing that Guo Jia guessed what he was thinking, Han Zhan grinned a little embarrassedly, and then said, "I plan to bring Zilong, Han Sheng and five thousand soldiers to welcome Zhao Ji."
Guo Jia was originally worried that Han Zhan would lightly car Jian Cong, so he took a few people to greet Cai Yan. But now he heard that he planned to bring Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong with him, and there were five thousand soldiers and horses with him. Such a lineup, let alone encounter some bandits, could easily escape even if he encountered tens of thousands of troops. Therefore, he nodded immediately and said, "Since the lord has considered it so carefully, then the subordinate will temporarily take on all matters while the lord is not in Yecheng."
Han Zhan got up and was about to go to the backyard, but after walking two steps, he stopped again. He raised his hand and slapped his forehead, and said shyly: "Fengxiao, look at me, I'm too impatient. Now Zilong and Han Sheng are still leading troops. Even if they send people to recruit them immediately, they will have to wait until evening before they can return to Yecheng."
"My lord, in the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to set off west tomorrow morning." Guo Jia said with a smile: "If it goes well, the lord will be able to meet Miss Cai at the latest tomorrow evening."
The next morning, Han Zhan, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, led 5,000 cavalry to leave Yecheng and head west. Although Han Zhan couldn't wait to see Cai Yan, he did not let the soldiers rush to the west, but walked slowly according to the daily marching speed. The messenger sent by Xiahou Lan acted as a guide and followed Han Zhan's side and side.
Every time he walked more than ten miles, Han Zhan would ask the messenger: "Brother, is the path we are taking correct?"
The messenger was particularly excited when he heard Han Zhan call his brother one by one. But he still tried hard to control his emotions and replied respectfully: "Lord, that's right, it's indeed this road."
After noon, Zhao Yun came to Han Zhan and said to him: "Second brother, the troops have been away for most of the day. Do you see if they let them get off the horse and rest for a while before leaving?"
Han Zhan turned his head and looked back. Although no one of the soldiers spoke, they could still see the tiredness on their faces. Han Zhan thought that these soldiers had set up checkpoints outside for three days and were urgently recalled by him. Before he could rest, he rushed to set off again. Thinking of this, he nodded to Zhao Yun and said, "As far as my elder brother said, it's not too late to rest here for half an hour, and it's not too late to continue on the road."
In Guo Jia's mind, he also advocated severe punishment for Feng Ji, which would have the effect of killing the chicken and intimidating the monkeys, so that the surrounding princes could also see Han Zhan's iron-blooded side, so as not to make a mistake, and this would be of great help to seize the surrounding prefectures and counties.
