Chapter 357: Meeting Zhang Yan for the first time (2)
When he reached the hillside, he ran towards him. After approaching, Han Zhan realized that he was a small leader of the Black Mountain Army. When Hu Zhi saw the other party, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
The little leader accompanied the smile and said to Hu Zhi: "Your Majesty, the lord heard that the Jizhou governor was visiting and came out to greet him in person. He was waiting at the Welcoming Pavilion not far ahead."
When Han Zhan heard the little leader say this, he thought to himself: "Hey, aren't the Yingbin Pavilion all built at the foot of the mountain? Why is there one on the hillside?"
However, before he could ask, two more horsemen appeared in front of him. Seeing two young generals with silver helmets and silver armor on the horse's back, Han Zhan couldn't help but smiled discouraged on his face. After the two approached, he asked first: "Do you, two Xiahou Captains, are you safe?"
It turned out that the two people who came were none other than Han Zhan sent here to lobby Zhang Yan, Xiahou Lan and Xiahou Yun brothers and sisters. When they heard Han Zhan’s question, they couldn’t help but blush. Finally, Xiahou Yun spoke, “Lord, the brother and sister who were insulted in their mission. They have not yet completed their mission. Please punish them.”
"The Xiahou Captain, don't blame yourself." Han Zhan thought to himself that it was Guo Jia's suggestion to ask you to come here to lobby Zhang Yan. Although he was one of the best military advisors in the Three Kingdoms period, unfortunately he is too young now and cannot be as experienced as he did when he assisted Cao Mengde. Now seeing the Xiahou brothers and sisters looking guilty, he quickly said to Xiahou Yun: "Since I am here, let me complete the rest."
After walking along the mountain road for another two or three miles, he saw a pavilion beside the mountain road ahead. Outside the pavilion, nearly a hundred Heishan soldiers wearing armor were standing, guarding a middle-aged man wearing fish scale armor sitting in the pavilion. Han Zhan was guessing: Could this person be Zhang Yan?
"Tinghou," Hu Zhi's voice sounded aside: "The person in the pavilion ahead is my lord Zhang Yan."
Seeing Han Zhan getting closer and closer, Zhang Yan, who was sitting in the pavilion, got up and walked out of the pavilion, standing on the side of the road waiting. After Han Zhan approached, he clasped his fists and said, "Zhang Yan, the General of the Central Army of the Pacification and Disaster, has seen Han Fujun."
Seeing Zhang Yan bowing to him, Han Zhan quickly turned over and dismounted and bowed back to the salute: "Han Fu, Jizhou, has seen General Zhang."
"Han Fujun, Zhang has prepared wine and food in the pavilion to entertain Fujun." Zhang Yan turned his body sideways and made a call: "Please."
There was a round table made of stones in the pavilion and four drum-shaped stone piers. After Han Zhan and Zhang Yan sat opposite each other, Guo Jia and Hu Zhi stood behind them respectively. Dian Wei, Xiahou Lan and Xiahou Yun held the hilt of the sword in their hands and stood outside the pavilion like several electric poles.
Zhang Yan raised the wine bottle in his hand and said to Han Zhan: "Han's mansion came from afar. Zhang didn't meet him because he was occasionally cold and asked him to forgive him. Zhang first drank it all, so he should be apologized." After that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the wine bottle. Seeing that Zhang Yan had finished drinking the wine in the wine bottle, Han Zhan naturally couldn't hold him back, so he raised the wine bottle and drank all the wine inside.
Seeing Han Zhan drinking so happily, Zhang Yan smiled on his face. He personally filled Han Zhan with wine bottles and asked tentatively: "Han Fujun, I wonder what you have to go to Heishan in person?"
"General Zhang, I am a wise man, and I don't say secret words, and I don't go around in circles. I will just tell you straightforwardly." Han Zhan knew that Zhang Yan was a straightforward person. If you have any questions, it would be best to explain clearly to him. If you can't tell the point, maybe he would pretend to be confused. Therefore, he said bluntly: "I plan to send troops to Qingzhou and Bingzhou. After the two states are included in the territory, I will definitely unify Jizhou next. Because I am worried that I will meet with General Zhang at that time, I sent Xiahoulan and sisters to visit General Zhang and convey my meaning to you."
Speaking of this, Han Zhan sighed heavily and continued, "Who knew that they were not lucky. They came to Heishan for many days but were not able to meet General Zhang."
When Zhang Yan heard Han Zhan say this, her face turned red and she said a little embarrassedly: "Zhang accidentally felt the cold wind some time ago, and was afraid of the wind and did not dare to see anyone. Therefore, she neglected the two envoys of the Duke. Please forgive me more."
Han Zhan analyzed Zhang Yan's attitude towards him that the other party actually intended to surrender to Jizhou, but he was still waiting for him to offer him conditions. After guessing Zhang Yan's thoughts, he continued: "General Zhang should have heard that when the son is in Jizhou today, he will wait until the palace in Yecheng is completed, the emperor will go to Yecheng and set it as the new capital."
"Corrested the capital of Yecheng?" Zhang Yan heard Han Zhan say this, and quickly turned his head to look at Hu Zhi behind him, as if he wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news from him.
Seeing Zhang Yan turning his head to look at him, Hu Zhi nodded a few times and replied: "When you say lord, you will give me a detailed return. Yecheng has indeed been building a large-scale project in the past few months, and the lord has stayed in Jizhou City."
When Zhang Yan learned that the Holy Driving was indeed in Jizhou, he turned his head again and looked at Han Zhan and asked tentatively: "Han Mansion, I wonder if you welcome the Holy Driving to Jizhou. Has the Holy Driving Enfeoffed you what official position?"
"In addition to the governor of Jizhou and the Marquis of Zhangshuiting," Han Zhan replied: "The Holy Lord also appointed the marquis as the chief clerk of the Secretariat to record the affairs of the Secretary."
Although Zhang Yan had only a slight understanding of the official positions that Han Zhan mentioned, he also knew that this was a big official. He thought to himself that if Zi was in Jizhou today, then what the Han Fujun in front of him must be obedient. If he really surrendered to him, he might even give his brothers a good way out. After thinking about this, his idea of surrendering to Jizhou became stronger and stronger.
Guo Jia, who was standing behind Han Sui, noticed Zhang Yan's abnormality, and immediately coughed gently, then pulled Han Zhan's clothes with his hand, indicating that he could take the opportunity to start lobbying Zhang Yan.
Han Zhan, who understood the truth, nodded, looked at Zhang Yan and asked, "General Zhang, I want to ask you, what are your plans after I occupied Qingzhou and Bingzhou?"
When he reached the hillside, he ran towards him. After approaching, Han Zhan realized that he was a small leader of the Black Mountain Army. When Hu Zhi saw the other party, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
The little leader accompanied the smile and said to Hu Zhi: "Your Majesty, the lord heard that the Jizhou governor was visiting and came out to greet him in person. He was waiting at the Welcoming Pavilion not far ahead."
