Chen Deng didn't expect that Han Zhan would actually want to pull him over for the first time when he saw him. He hesitated for a while before answering with a wry smile: "The Tao Mansion Lord has the kindness of knowing Chen, even if Chen is broken into pieces, it will be hard to repay. For the good intentions of Anyang Hou, please forgive Chen for not obeying his orders."

Considering that his territory will grow bigger and bigger in the future, the talents under his command will soon be insufficient. Chen Deng is not only a wealthy family in Xuzhou, but also has real talents and knowledge. If he is willing to surrender, he can be appointed as the governor of Xuzhou to win over the natives of Xuzhou. At the same time, he can also restrain Yuan Shu from Yangzhou, Sun Jian from the Eastern Wu and others, so that he can be worried about the south.

He knew that the first time he met, he recruited Chen Deng in public, which seemed too abrupt and there was no hope of success. But he decided to throw a stone to ask for directions. Seeing that Chen Deng did refuse his recruitment without hesitation as he expected, he was not only not angry, but instead said with a smile: "Yuanlong is loyal to the Tao Mansion Lord, but this Hou is too reckless."

After saying that, he no longer tried to keep Chen Deng, but bowed to the other party, "Yuanlong, I still have important things to do today, so I won't keep you. If you have any rudeness, please forgive me." After saying that, he shouted to the outside, "Come on!"

With the shouting, Chen Dao walked in from outside and bowed to Han Zhan: "What are the instructions for lord?"

"Send someone to escort Mr. Yuanlong to Licheng!"

As soon as Chen Dao agreed, Chen Deng interrupted, "Mr. Anyang Hou was grateful for his kindness. Licheng is the territory of Xuzhou. I believe Chen will not encounter any danger, so he dare not worry about Anyang Hou's worries. Goodbye!"

After Chen Deng left, Han Zhan ordered Chen Dao to lead people to demolish the tent, while he and Guo Jia and Taishi Ci took fifty tiger and leopard cavalry along the official road to chase the army ahead.

Halfway through, Guo Jia, who was riding on the horse, suddenly laughed inexplicably, which aroused Taishici's curiosity: "Military advisor, why are you laughing?"

"I'm thinking about the lord recruiting Chen Yuanlong in public." Guo Jia said thoughtfully: "The lord knew that he had taken the initiative to recruit Chen Yuanlong for the first time and would definitely not succeed, but he still did this, which seemed to be quite meaningful."

Han Zhan wanted to know if Guo Jia had guessed his true thoughts, so he asked with a smile: "Fengxiao, do you think this marquis wants to recruit Chen Yuanlong?"

"The lord's territory is getting bigger and bigger now, but the civil servants and military generals that can be used in his hands are very limited." Guo Jia saw Han Zhan ask, and he said his thoughts without hesitation: "Qingzhou is now the lord's territory, but the candidate for Qingzhou's governor, the lord has spent all his efforts to barely choose Zang Hong. If Xuzhou also falls into the lord's hands, who should be chosen as the lord of Xuzhou? Judging from the current situation, Chen Yuanlong is undoubtedly the best candidate."

Regarding Guo Jia's analysis, Han Zhan nodded with a smile and said in praise: "Those who know me are filial piety." In order to let Guo Jia fully understand his intentions, he continued to say, "After we seize the four northern prefectures, the first thing we need to take is Xuzhou. Xuzhou is a place of four battles, and there is no capable person in charge. I am not at ease."

Although Guo Jia guessed that Han Zhan was optimistic about Chen Deng, he did not expect that he had such high expectations for Chen Deng. He asked tentatively: "Lord, are you planning to let Chen Deng take charge of Xuzhou in the future?"

"That's right." Han Zhan did not intend to hide his true thoughts. "After thinking about it, Chen Yuanlong is the best candidate. With him here, neither Yuan Shu from Yangzhou nor Sun Jian from Jiangdong is enough to worry."

"Sun Jian from Jiangdong?" Taishi Ci was stunned for a long time when he heard the order mentioned by Han Zhan, before speaking: "Lord, Sun Jian is now able to gain a foothold in Jiangdong. The lord compares him with Yuan Shu. Do you think too highly of him?"

"Don't look at Sun Jian's current few soldiers and few generals, but he will definitely be the overlord in the future." Han Zhan did not explain to the two of them why he was optimistic about Sun Jian, but said to himself: "Don't look at Yuan Shujia's fourth generation and three masters, but now he is on a downward trend. When Sun Jian sees his power is not good, he will come up with his own ideas and become one of our strong enemies at that time."

Guo Jia was not familiar with Sun Jian, so he naturally had no feelings for what Han Zhan said. He changed the subject in time and said to Han Zhan: "Lord, can you say that Wang Hun and Zhou Cang go to Kaiyang here to convince Zang Ba to surrender?"

When Han Zhan heard Guo Jia’s question, he did not immediately respond, but asked back: “Fengxiao, what do you think?”

"If it weren't for the gentry in Licheng's report, we would know that Zang Ba had controlled Kaiyang and other places in addition to Taishan, and the conditions offered were naturally not enough to convince him to surrender." Guo Jia said slowly: "The lord sent someone to send a letter to Wang Hun and asked him to propose the title of marquis to Zang Ba. I think most people who learned that they could be named marquis after surrendering to Jizhou will definitely make the right decision without hesitation."

"I believe that Wang Hun and Zhou Cang will definitely live up to their mission." Han Zhan felt that what Guo Jia said was not complete enough, so he added: "In addition to giving Zang Ba the conditions he could not refuse, we pressed from north to south toward the two armies of hundreds of thousands of troops from north to Mount Tai in Kaiyang at the same time, forcing him to choose between promotion and the disaster of destruction. I think Zang Ba is a smart person and he will make wise decisions."

The hundreds of thousands of troops that Han Zhan mentioned included those surrendered Yellow Turban Army. It was easy to destroy Zang Ba, who had only 30,000 people on such a large scale. What's more, shortly after Zang Ba's new acquisition of Kaiyang, whether the morale of the people is stable is still a big question. Therefore, Han Zhan dared to make such a bold speculation that as long as Zang Ba sees the new conditions he has offered, he will definitely choose to surrender to himself.

Guo Jia and Han Zhan thought of whether Zang Ba surrendered. However, Guo Jia had his own opinion on how to use Zang Ba surrendered. Taking advantage of today's opportunity, he cautiously stated: "Lord, in our newly established conditions, we promised that the court could grant Zang Ba the Marquis of Kaiyang, and would not touch his soldiers and let them continue to defend Kaiyang. I was worried that if Zang Ba was an ambitious person, would he have a second thought after a long time?"
