Wang Hun and Chen Dao, who had been executed by the grain merchants, hurried back to the county government office and handed over the order to Han Zhan.

Seeing that the two of them completed the task they had assigned so neatly, Han Zhan praised them a few times and said to Wang Hun, "Xuanchong, what are you doing today's things that you want to do? Now, this marquis has another more important thing that you have to leave to you. I wonder if you have any objections?"

Although he didn't know what task Han Zhan would hand over to him, Wang Hun still answered without hesitation, "Lord, if you have a dispatch, Wang will definitely go through fire and water."

"It's not going to go through fire and water." Han Zhan stepped forward and helped Wang Hun up and said to him, "I plan to send you to Mount Tai and lobby Zang Ba to surrender to this Hou. I wonder if you dare to go?"

"Lobbying the bandits of Mount Tai?!" Wang Hun couldn't help but hesitate for a while when he heard the mission given to him by Han Zhan, and then said cautiously, "Lord, I heard that Zang Ba is a murderer who can kill people without blinking. If you go to Mount Tai to lobby, you may not be able to persuade you to surrender, but will cause a disaster for your own life and death. If you miss the lord's big affairs, you will not be able to redeem it."

After hearing Wang Hun's words, Han Zhan thought that this person was quite scheming. Although he knew that the chance of success was not high, his way of rejecting him was very clever. He smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry Xuan Chong. This time I went to Mount Tai, I asked Zhou Cang to go with you. He had dealt with Zang Ba in the past and had some friendship with each other. In this way, even if Zang Ba refused to surrender, he would never make things difficult for you."

"It's great to have Zhou Yuanfu go with him." Learning that Han Zhan did not send him to die alone, but accompanied by Zhou Cang, Wang Hun's heart was put back in his stomach. He knew very well that since Han Zhan sent Zhou Cang to go with him, he must have considered that Zhou Cang and Zang Ba had had a dealing with him, even if he couldn't lobby, he could escape unscathed. Therefore, he said with confidence, "My subordinates must do their best to lobby Zang Ba to come and surrender to the lord."

Han Zhan really had no idea whether Zang Ba would surrender to him. However, after hearing Wang Hun's statement, he said leisurely, "If Zang Ba is willing to surrender, everyone will be happy. You will stay in Mount Tai and wait for this marquis to go. If you refuse to surrender, you don't have to force yourself to leave quickly and return to the army."

As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Wang Hun replied loudly, "Subordinate to obey the order!"

After Wang Hun and Zhou Cang left, Guo Jia asked Han Zhan for instructions, "Lord, Licheng is located in the Donghai Kingdom of Xuzhou, only three days away from Xia Pi, the capital of Xuzhou. If Tao Qian learned that our army was here, he would probably send envoys to ask, and he didn't know how the lord planned to reply."

"Why can you let others snore on the side of the bed?" Han Zhan said a casual idiom and continued, "If this marquis was Tao Qian, he would definitely think that the army was here to seize Xuzhou. He would definitely send envoys to ask questions while mobilizing the army and ready for war at any time."

"The lord's words, 'Why can't others snore on the side of the bed' are so vivid." Guo Jia praised Han Zhan, and then said, "Our strategy is to unify the four northern states, and after the foundation is solid, then erode the states in turn. At this moment, the war with Tao Qian is very high, but it is easy to make countless enemies."

"What Fengxiao said is very true." Han Zhan agreed with Guo Jia's statement. "Immediately send someone to Huang Zhong, Xun You and the other two to send letters, and ordered them not to rush here again and go directly to Dongguan County. After our marquis' army rested here for two days, they would rush to meet with them."

Guo Jia naturally agreed with Han Zhan's arrangement. Although the army would seize Dongguan County in Xuzhou next, compared with Xuzhou's change of ownership, losing a county is better than losing the entire Xuzhou strong Tao Qian can only knock down his front teeth and swallow blood, and pinch his nose and eat this mute.

After capturing Dongguan County, the road from Jizhou to Qingzhou was opened. In the future, if something happens in Qingzhou, the troops who rushed to rescue could take two days less. It was very helpful for Han Zhan to consolidate the rule of the four northern prefectures.

After Zhao Yun and Han Zhan and Guo Jia finished talking, they asked cautiously, "Lord, two troops gathered in Dongguan County and would definitely pass through Zang Ba's defense zone. Will he think we are..."

Before Zhao Yun finished speaking, Han Zhan raised his hand and interrupted the words behind him, "General Zilong, we are polite first and then soldiers. First, we sent Wang Hun and Zhou Cang to lobby. If he was willing to surrender to us, we would naturally be happy. If we refused to surrender, our army would suppress him when we passed through Mount Tai, so as not to become our confidant."

"The terrain of Mount Tai is dangerous. Should we send a detailed work first and go to the place to inquire about the terrain?" Zhao Yun said cautiously, "If Zang Ba refuses to surrender, we can send troops to wipe it out as soon as possible."

Considering that the army was going to stay near Licheng for a period of time, Han Zhan specifically reminded Zhao Yun, "General Zilong, to restrain the soldiers in the camp outside the city, and not leave the camp at will and enter the city at will. Those who first offenders will be punished with a stick, and those who repeatedly offenders will be beheaded and displayed for public display." The reason why he said this was because there were a large number of Yellow Turban Army in the army that had been surrendered for a short time. If they were not strictly restrained and allowed to enter and exit the city freely, they might cause disturbances.

"The last general obeys the order." Zhao Yun naturally knew the reason why Han Zhan issued this military order. The Jizhou army finally won the hearts of the people in the city by killing grain merchants and robbing grain. If he met a few young soldiers who were blind and went to the city to do whatever he wanted, it would damage the image of the Jizhou army in the minds of the people. He quickly replied, "The last general must be careful to restrain the soldiers outside the city, and prevent them from entering the city at will and harassing the people in the city."

Facts proved that Han Zhan's move was very wise. When the people in the city saw the army stationed outside the city, they were all scared to death, fearing that the generals in charge of the army would indulge their subordinates to rob the city. When they saw that the army was stationed outside the city, they killed the unkind grain merchants and distributed part of the property of these grain merchants to everyone, the people in the city had a different impression of the Jizhou army.

During the day, the people gathered in front of the county government office. In order to distribute money and grain, they expressed their gratitude to Han Zhan. After dark, the people dispersed one after another, and the gentry who had been frightened for a day came to the county government office in groups to visit Han Zhan to show their loyalty so that they would not end up with the three grain merchants.

Everyone waited in the county yard for a long time, but did not see Han Zhan's shadow, but waited for a general with a helmet and armor. A sharp-eyed man recognized at a glance that the general was the one who brought people to collect grain merchants during the day and took several grain merchants to the execution ground to behead them.

Everyone knelt down on the ground, saying that when Taishi Ci led his army into the city, he did not dare to send anyone to deliver food and wages to the soldiers because he did not know the other party's origin. Now he knows that it is the military of the court, and is willing to pay double the food and wages he owes, and asks Lord Anyang Hou to have a large amount to bypass his life.
