Chapter 287 Dong Cheng's recommendation

Three days later, Han Zhan took Huang Zhong and 5,000 cavalry to escort 50,000 Chang'an people and headed towards Yecheng. Guo Jia, Xun You, Xu Shu and others sent him to the city gate. Before parting, Han Zhan repeatedly reminded the three of them: "There are 50,000 or 60,000 people who have signed up in the past few days. You have to escort them all safely to the boundaries of Jizhou. The responsibility on your shoulders is not light."

"Please rest assured, lord," Guo Jia expressed his opinion to Han Zhan: "Jia and the dukes will definitely live up to their trust."

Han Zhan looked at the three strategists in front of him and thought to himself that these were the most outstanding strategists in the Three Kingdoms era. If even they couldn't do these things well, who else could do it well? So he didn't say anything more, but just bowed to the three of them, turned over the war horse, and took Chen Dao and others to chase Huang Zhong in front.

After five days of trekking, the army arrived at Hangu Pass. Looking at the "Han" flag floating on the pass from afar, Han Zhan said with emotion: "If Han Sheng and Gongzhang Dong did not seize this pass in time, our Jizhou army would probably be trapped in the east of the pass, let alone the capital defeated Li Jue, Guo Si and others."

Hearing Han Zhan’s praise, Huang Zhong quickly said modestly: “The lord has been too much, and Huang dares not take credit. Our army can seize Hangu Pass, and Mr. Dong makes a great contribution.”

Dong Cheng, who was sent to guard Hangu Pass not long ago, heard that Han Zhan had brought people, so he hurried out to greet him. Even though he was still far away, Dong Cheng bowed and bowed: "See the lord! The lord is exhausted all the way, so let's go into the lord to rest."

Although Han Zhan had been riding on the horse, he still felt a little tired after rushing for several days. Since Dong Cheng wanted to enter the pass by himself, he agreed with the flow.

In the general's mansion, Dong Cheng held a banquet for Han Zhan, and at the same time asked how Han Zhan would arrange his next step. He first raised the wine bottle and toasted Han Zhan with a bottle of wine, and then asked tentatively: "The lord moved all the people of Chang'an to Jizhou. I wonder how to consider this Hangu Pass?"

Don’t think that Dong Cheng didn’t ask directly, how do you plan to resettle me? But Han Zhan still heard the implicit sound from his words and hurriedly said: “Now, Chang'an and Luoyang are sparsely populated, and Hangu Pass guards and non-guards are irrelevant. After the people of Chang'an have withdrawn, Dong Guozhang will also lead his troops to give up this place and return to Yecheng.”

When Dong Cheng heard that Han Zhan was going to let him return to Yecheng, he was overjoyed. He quickly stood up and bowed to Han Zhan, saying, "In this way, Dong thanks the lord. Once the people in Chang'an have withdrawn, Dong set fire to the pass and withdrew back to Yecheng with the army."

Han Zhan did not object to Dong Cheng's statement that Han Gu Pass was about to burn down Hangu Pass. He thought to himself that there would be no people in this ghost place for more than ten or twenty years, so there was no need to keep people here to guard it. It was the most convenient to burn it with a fire, so as not to have strong people occupy it and do evil.

After drinking for a while, Dong Cheng suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Lord, there are several old friends under his subordinates, who are the former Bai Bo Zhuang. The subordinates plan to recruit them to join the Jizhou Army. I wonder what the lord wants?"

As soon as he heard about Bai Bo, Han Zhan knew that it was the remaining unit of the Yellow Turban Army. He did not immediately express his opinion, but asked, "Dong Guozhang, I don't know which old friends he is, why not talk about it?"

"They are Han Xian, Li Le and Hu Cai." Seeing that Han Zhan heard Bai Boshuai's expressions had not changed much, Dong Cheng quickly continued: "Their men have about 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers. If they can be recruited, the strength of the Jizhou Army can be greatly strengthened."

If it were someone else, I heard that 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers would definitely be happy to find the North. But Han Zhan was considering that these people were the remaining members of the Yellow Turban Army, and the members were incomplete. If they accepted it rashly, it would probably have an impact on the image of the Jizhou Army. Therefore, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Seeing that Han Zhan refused to answer, Dong Cheng's expression seemed a little embarrassed. Before talking about this, he had thought carefully that according to his experience, any lord with ambition who was dominant would immediately be happy if he heard that 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers would join him. After Han Zhan heard this, no matter how happy he was, his expression became solemn. He asked tentatively: "Lord, it doesn't matter if you don't want to accept them, so just refuse them."

Although Han Zhan was a little reluctant to host these soldiers, he thought again that if he ignored the soldiers and let them move in the Jizhou area, it would sooner or later cause disaster. Instead of sending troops to eliminate them in the future, it would be better to take them under his command for the time being and then reorganized. Thinking of this, Han Zhan nodded at Dong Cheng and said, "Since it is recommended by the father-in-law, it must not be too bad. But I wonder how the father-in-law plans to contact them?"

Seeing that Han Zhan agreed to accept Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai and others, Dong Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He heard that Han Zhan was anxious to see the three of them, so he hurriedly said, "Lord, it's a coincidence that the three of them came to this pass yesterday and said they wanted to pay homage to him. I wonder if the lord can see them now?"

"Brother Dong, since the three of them are in your mansion, why don't you let them come to meet earlier?" Han Zhan smiled and said to Dong Cheng: "Hurry up and ask them to come out and meet."

Dong Cheng claimed the crime to Han Zhan, stood up and walked into the back hall. In a moment, he brought out three generals with helmets and armor from it. Under Dong Cheng's leadership, the three of them came to Han Zhan, and at the same time held their fists and saluted: "Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai had met the Marquis of Ting!"

"Three generals are exempted from the gift!" Han Zhan quickly reached out and helped him, and then said to Dong Cheng: "Bird of the Republicans, please instruct your servants to prepare wine and food for the three generals. This marquis wants to drink happily with them."

After everyone sat down, Han Zhan carefully recalled the history of the three people in his mind. According to the popular science book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the three people were all the remaining members of the Yellow Turban Army, especially Li Le, who were even more gathered in the mountains and forests. If there were no soldiers available, Dong Cheng and others would not have attracted them.
