The army entering the city, led by their respective generals, rushed directly to the prefect's mansion where Gongsun Fan was; the other two groups rushed along the city wall to the east and west sides, preparing to seize the city walls and gates in the two directions, and let the army outside the city enter the city.

The direction controlled by Chen Jiang and Yu Ze was attacked by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and they could not support it. The soldiers of Jizhou who rushed along the city wall became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel. The Youzhou soldiers who had no intention of fighting again abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Just as Zhao Yun and his troops were taking over the remaining enemies in the city, more than a dozen soldiers carried the injured Dian Wei out of the city and were about to find a doctor to treat him. Han Zhan found that the general lying on a stretcher and about to be shot into a hedgehog was Dian Wei. He hurriedly asked them to stop, then turned over and dismounted, walked to the stretcher, held Dian Wei's hand, and asked with concern: "Ziman, are you okay?"

Although Dian Wei was hit by more than a dozen arrows, he was in good spirits. When he heard Han Zhan’s question, he waved his head and tried hard to squeeze out a smile on his face: "Thank you, lord, I will not be seriously injured."

Han Zhan quickly counted the arrows on his body, about seventeen or eighteen. Thinking of Dian Wei's death in history, he couldn't help but say worryingly: "Ziman, you have been hit by so many arrows, how could you be fine?" Thinking that Dian Wei might have left him because of this, his nose felt sour when he spoke.

"My lord, don't worry." Seeing Han Zhan's worried look, Dian Wei pretended to be relaxed: "Don't look at the fact that I have many arrows inserted, but because of the cover of the armor, it is not inserted deep, so it will not be fatal. The reason why it is difficult to move while lying is simply because I have lost my strength at the top of the city just now, and I can get back to normal after a night of rest."

When Han Zhan learned that Dian Wei was not in danger of his life, he finally put his heart back in his stomach and quickly said to the soldiers carrying Dian Wei: "Hurry and send General Dian back to the camp and let the doctor who accompanied the army treat him, so there must be no mistakes."

When the leader of the team heard Han Zhan say this, he quickly agreed loudly: "Little obey the order!" After that, he waved to his subordinates, "Come on, carry General Dian back to the camp quickly."

After Dian Wei was carried away, Guo Jia asked Han Zhan: "Lord, since Qingzhou has been pacified, what should we do next?"

After hearing Guo Jia's question, Han Zhan thought for a while and replied: "Let the army rest in the city for two days, and then we will go south to pick up the troops recruited by Taishici, and seize several cities in Xuzhou. However, before the southern expedition to Xuzhou, this marquis still has one important thing to do."

"What's the matter?" Guo Jia asked instinctively, then a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Lord, do you want to kill Gongsun Fan? If you do this, then we and Gongsun Zan will really become mortal enemies."

"Fengxiao, who told you that this marquis wants to kill Gongsun Fan?" Han Zhan looked at Guo Jia and asked in surprise: "Since this marquis has not killed Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's brothers, how could he kill Gongsun Fan?"

Han Zhan's words made Guo Jia even more confused. He asked in confusion: "Didn't the lord just say that before the southern expedition to Xuzhou, you should do something important? Is what you said not to kill Gongsun Fan?"

"Of course not." Han Zhan shook his head and said, "Fengxiao, you should still remember that when this marquis was appointed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as the vanguard of left and right, he promised that as long as Qingzhou was pacified, they would let them leave. No matter whether they were wandering around or returning to Yedu to accompany Liu Xuande, this marquis would never interfere with them."

"That's right, Jia did hear the lord talk about this." Guo Jia learned that Han Zhan was about to release Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei left, and quickly persuaded him: "But when it comes to release Guan Yu, Zhang Fei left, Jia thought this was inappropriate."

"Why?" Han Zhan decided to let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go, but because he had an agreement with the other party in advance that he wanted to be a trustworthy person, he decided to let Guan and Zhang leave. However, unexpectedly, this matter was opposed by Guo Jia. He asked curiously: "What is wrong with this marquis wanting to let Guan and Zhang leave?"

"Master, have you forgotten that although you have helped Liu Xuande many times, he was bewitched by Gongsun Zan and wanted to get rid of you soon. Although he was imprisoned in the prison in the capital at this moment, because he claimed that he was the King Jing of Zhongshan, he deceived many court officials and asked these court officials to plead for him in front of His Highness." Guo Jia said worriedly: "Maybe we have not returned to Yedu, Your Majesty can no longer withstand the pleading of the ministers and release Liu Xuande from the prison. If we release Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at this time and let them return to Liu Xuande's side, it would be like a tiger returning to the mountain."

After Han Zhan originally planned to enter the city, he summoned Guan Yu and Zhang Fei directly and told the two that he had obtained Qingzhou and would keep his promise and let them leave. At this moment, when he heard Guo Jia say this, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel a sudden slap in his heart. He thought that Liu Bei had become a loser many times in history, but he finally made a comeback. Especially after recruiting Zhuge Liang, his market situation was even more optimistic and he could still make a difference in the world in the end.

Han Zhan, riding on the horse, gently tapped the saddle with his fingers, and carefully considered what Guo Jia said: If you don’t let Guan Yu go, Zhang Fei leave, and he will become a villain who is untrustworthy; but if Guan and Zhang leave, there may be a situation Guo Jia said, and the two continue to assist Liu Bei and become their own confidant.

The problem that caused Han Zhan's headache has not been resolved yet. Zhao Yun has sent someone to invite him, saying that the prefect's office has been taken down, and Gongsun Fan, Sun Kang, Chen Jiang, Yuze and others have become prisoners. Han Zhan is asked to go to the prefect's office as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation.

After arriving at the prefect's mansion, Han Zhan found that the place had been carefully cleaned, the bodies had been removed, and the blood was covered with mud. If Han Zhan had not known that there had been a fierce battle here, there would be no trace of the battle. After Han Zhan sat down in the middle of the main hall, he said to Zhao Yun who was standing in the lower head: "Brother, where are Gongsun Fan and others now?"

"We have been imprisoned by Brother Wei," Zhao Yun thought Han Zhan was anxious to deal with the captured Gongsun family generals here, so he asked tentatively: "Are you planning to deal with them? If so, Brother Wei immediately ordered someone to bring them here."

"No need," Although he captured Gongsun Fan and others, Han Zhan did not mean to surrender or kill them. Therefore, the nature of seeing and not seeing each other is similar: "I don't plan to see them, so let them continue to stay in the prison."

After Han Zhan said this, his eyes swept around the room, and then asked Zhao Yun in an official manner: "General Zilong, I don't know where your vanguard is now?"

"They are making an appointment in the city," Zhao Yun heard Han Zhan's name change, and quickly replied respectfully: "If the lord wants to see them, the last general can immediately order someone to summon them here."

Guo Jia, who had not spoken next to him, heard that Han Zhan wanted to see Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and were worried that he would bring up the old things again, so he quickly coughed heavily, but Han Zhan said without looking back: "Since that's the case, please send someone to find both of them."

Zhao Yun called a subordinate and ordered him to find Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. After looking at Han Zhan, he asked, "Lord, I want to ask Dian Wei's injury, will he not be worried about his life?"

"Of course not," Han Zhan shook his head and said, "Although he was hit by a lot of arrows, he was just a skin trauma at best. As long as he had a good rest for a few days, he could get back to normal."

When Zhao Yun heard that Dian Wei had no worries about his life, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good if Ziman has no worries about his life. Lord, don't you know, when someone climbed the city and saw Ziman's body full of arrows and blood, his heart was in his throat, afraid that he would have any accidents. Fortunately, he was lucky. After so many arrows, he didn't even have anything to do."

After receiving the notice, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not sure about the purpose of Han Zhan summoning him, they hurried back. After the two walked into the main hall, they both bowed their luggage to Han Zhan, who was sitting in the middle: "I will meet with Anyang Hou!"

"No gift!" Han Zhan waved his hand to the two of them and said, "Yun Chang, Yide, do you still remember that when this marquis appointed you as the vanguards of the left and right, he once said that as long as Qingzhou is pacified, you will be free to choose to stay or leave. Now Qingzhou has been pacified, and it is time for this marquis to fulfill his promise. Tell me, what are your plans?"

Han Zhan's words surprised Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. According to their ideas, since Qingzhou has been pacified, the next thing to do is to turn south to conquer Tao Qian from Xuzhou after the army has completed the rest. On the way to come, the two of them have discussed in private whether Han Zhan should be asked to fulfill his promise. But unexpectedly, before the two had time to mention this matter, Han Zhan would actually ask first.

"I am a person who believes in his words," Han Zhan knew very well. The reason why Guan Yu and Zhang Fei served him was entirely because Liu Bei was detained in his own hands. They had to compromise for the sake of his sworn brother's life. Instead of waiting for the two of them to make him keep his promise, it would be better to take the initiative in his own hands: "Now you two choices: one is to go back to Yedu to meet Liu Xuande; the other is to continue to help me fight against Tao Qian in Xuzhou."

When Zhang Fei heard Han Zhan say this, he hurriedly said, "Marty of Anyang, I and my second brother have both thought about it. After Qingzhou is pacified, they will immediately leave the army and return to Yedu to visit the eldest brother. Do you think so, second brother?!" After Zhang Fei said this happily, he turned his head and found that Guan Yu next to him frowned, as if he was worried.

He looked at Guan Yu and asked in confusion: "Second brother, what's wrong with you? It seems that you have something to worry about?"

"Third brother," Guan Yu raised his head and said to Zhang Fei: "Although Anyang Hou had promised us that as long as Qingzhou was pacified, we would let us leave, but I felt that we should not leave now, at least we should wait until we occupy the important land of Xuzhou, and then we would follow the army to return to Yedu."

When Zhang Fei heard Guan Yu say this, his eyes suddenly widened: "Second brother, don't you want to go back to see the eldest brother?"

"I think I want to put on my wings and fly back to Yedu to see my elder brother." Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Why can we just leave when we say goodbye to the Marquis of Anyang so trustworthy? Anyway, we have been out for so long, so it's not too late to defeat Tao Qian and follow the army to return to Yedu with the army."

When Han Zhan heard that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a dispute in order to stay or leave, he couldn't help but feel happy. He knew that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a good relationship. As long as Guan Yu decided to stay and continue to help him, Zhang Fei would definitely not be able to leave. He turned his head and looked at Guo Jia sitting next to him. Seeing the other party's smile on his face, he guessed that he must have the same thoughts as him, so he coughed gently and signaled him to come out to smooth things over.

Guo Jia, who understood the truth, quickly stood up and saluted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and then said, "Guan Xianfeng, Zhang Xianfeng, you don't have to argue anymore. Jia has an idea, I wonder if you two would like to listen?"

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, Guan Yu made a call to Guo Jia and said politely: "Sir, I have something to say, but it's okay to say it!"

"Now Qingzhou has been fair to my lord. After resting here for two days, the army went south to attack Xuzhou." Guo Jia cleverly persuaded: "It is better for the two vanguards to continue leading troops south and help our lord seize Xuzhou. If we can get the help of the two vanguards, our attack on Xuzhou will definitely be unstoppable. Then you can return to Yecheng with the army as soon as possible and meet Liu Xuande."

Guo Jia's words made Guan Yu feel excited. He thought to himself: If he and Zhang Fei leave alone, it would take at least half a month to return to Yecheng through the area controlled by the Jizhou army. If everything goes well, he will reach the goal of Anyang Hou in about one month. He will return to Yecheng in half a month to meet his elder brother. He probably won't blame himself and his third brother for not blaming him and his third brother.

Thinking of this, Guan Yu looked at Guo Jia and said decisively: "Sir, Guan is willing to continue to act as the vanguard of the Jizhou Army and charge for the Anyang Hou."

"That's great, this is really great." Han Zhan was overjoyed when he heard Guan Yu's statement. He looked at Zhang Fei who was standing next to him angrily and asked tentatively: "Brother Yide, Brother Yun, Brother Yun, decided to stay and help me. I wonder how you think about it?"
