Han Zhan and Guo Jia and his party came down from the hills and returned to the camp, they saw Zhao Yun talking to the returning knights. Han Zhan urged him to step forward and asked Zhao Yun in an official voice in front of many subordinates: "General Zilong, where did they come from?"

"See lord!" The knight who was talking to Zhao Yun saw Han Zhan appear and knelt down on one knee to salute.

Han Zhan recognized these knights, and it was the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who sent him to send urgent letters to Wang Hun and Zhou Cang. He vaguely remembered that the commander who led the team was Wu Qi, so he asked directly: "Wu Qi, aren't you the messenger who sent me to Wang Hun and Zhou Cang?"

The sergeant was extremely excited when he saw that Han Zhan had called out his name in one word. But he did not forget the purpose of his trip, and quickly reported to Han Zhan: "Report to the lord, the youngest is Wu Qi. He came to deliver a letter to the lord at the order of the prefect Wang Hun."

When Han Zhan heard that it was a letter, he knew that it must be related to lobbying Zang Ba, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is the letter?"

Wu Qi took off the bamboo tube on his back, pulled out the letter rolled into a ball from it, held it in both hands and handed it to Han Zhan: "The letter is here, please check it out."

Han Zhan was eager to understand what was going on with Wang Hun, so he quickly opened the letter and quickly browsed the contents on it. Halfway through, Han Zhan's face showed joy. Guo Jia, who was standing beside him, saw this and guessed that the words on it must be good news, and asked quickly: "Lord, could Wang Hun have convinced Zang Ba?"

"That's right." Han Zhan continued to read the letter and nodded his head and replied to Guo Jia: "I really didn't expect that Wang Xuan Chong was quite capable of doing things, and he actually convinced Zang Ba."

Seeing that the big tent not far away had been set up, Guo Jia took the initiative to greet Han Zhan: "Lord, this is not where we talk, so let's go back to the big tent first."

Han Zhan came to the tent, read Wang Hun's letter, and then handed it over to Guo Jia and others for circulating it, saying with emotion: "Zang Ba's ability to surrender will eliminate a great war from our army and allow countless soldiers to survive, which is also a great achievement."

After reading the letter, Guo Jia confirmed that Zang Ba had indeed decided to surrender to Jizhou. He put down the huge rock in his heart and said to Han Zhan with relief: "Lord, don't see Zang Ba having tens of thousands of troops. However, he was not born in a family and had no foundation. Even if he barely occupied two places, his status would be in danger over time. But as long as he surrendered to the lord, he could be named Kaiyang Hou and occupy the name of righteousness. At that time, his foundation would become more and more solid."

Since Zang Ba has surrendered, he needs to comfort him as soon as possible. Han Zhan stood up and said to everyone: "Tomorrow morning, Fengxiao, Ziyi, Shuzhi leads three thousand cavalry to Kaiyang first. Zilong leads the army to move slowly behind."

As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, everyone stood up and replied respectfully: "Receive the order!"

The next morning, Han Zhan, Guo Jia, Taishi Ci, Chen Dao and others led three thousand cavalry to gallop towards Kaiyang. Two hours later, seeing Kaiyang City looking, Chen Dao urged his horse to come to Han Zhan, pointed his finger in front, and said loudly: "Lord, there are soldiers and horses on the official road ahead, but I don't know if they are Zang Ba's soldiers."

"Stop the troops!" Han Zhan saw that there were indeed many soldiers and horses on the official road ahead. He didn't know what the other party was going to come, so he warily ordered the cavalry to slow down and at the same time ordered Chen Dao: "Shuzhi, send someone to see who the other party is." Not much time, the two cavalry rushed out of the formation and ran towards the soldiers and horses in front.

Guo Jia, who was originally behind, saw that the front team suddenly stopped, quickly rode his horse to Han Zhan and asked curiously: "Master, why did you stop here?"

Han Zhan pointed his hand in front and said, "There are soldiers and horses with unknown origins on the official road ahead. For the sake of safety, this marquis has sent someone to check it out."

After hearing Han Zhan say that, Guo Jia put on a turret and looked into the distance for a while, turned his head to Han Zhan and said, "Lord, according to Jia's opinion, the soldiers in front of him seem to be preparing to welcome someone."

Although Han Zhan had long guessed that he might be a welcome team, such a soldier suddenly appeared in a strange place. Before he saw a familiar person, he had to be vigilant. Therefore, he replied to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, although this place is close to Kaiyang, he cannot be taken lightly. If Wang Hun and Zhou Cang do not appear today, he will wait until Zilong's army arrives before continuing to advance, so as not to be ambushed by the thieves."

"The Lord is right." Guo Jia agreed with Han Zhan's statement. Although Wang Hun's letter said that Zang Ba was willing to surrender to Jizhou and that this place was already Kaiyang's territory, it still cannot be taken lightly. If Zang Ba uses fraud and breaks through it in such a rash manner, he might encounter an unexpected accident: "We are waiting for the reward of the horse exploration here to see who is ahead."

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the two saw the siege who had just sent out, and came back from the troops in front of them, and there were two more people. Han Zhan had good eyesight and saw that one of them was familiar with him, so he said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, look at the person who returned with the siege, is Yuan Fu?"

Guo Jia quickly looked at it intently, and saw clearly between the two people who followed the horse. Sure enough, one of them was Zhou Cang who was sent to Kaiyang. He nodded twice and said, "That's right, it's indeed Yuan Fu."

Since Zhou Cang appeared, it proved that the soldiers on the official road ahead would definitely not be detrimental to him. Han Zhan turned his head and ordered Chen Dao: "Shuzhi, order the soldiers to continue moving forward!"

"Lord!" Chen Dao heard Han Zhan say this and quickly dissuaded: "The origin of the troops in front is unknown, and it may be inappropriate to just pass like this."

"There's nothing wrong." Han Zhan waved his hand at Chen Dao and said, "You haven't seen Yuan Fu come back with the two explorers you sent. I guess the troops in front of us were greeting us on the official road."

Not long after, Zhou Cang and his group came to Han Zhan. After saluting him immediately, he said to Han Zhan: "Report to the lord, Chief Zang personally led someone to welcome you. This is his subordinate, Wu Dun and Chief Wu!"

"Yuan Fu, since General Zang is preparing to surrender to my Jizhou, why do you still call him Leader Zang?" Han Zhan corrected him after Zhou Cang finished speaking, and said, "He should be called Kaiyang Hou!"

Although Wu Dun agreed to Zang Ba's surrender to Jizhou, he saw that the Jizhou army was powerful. If he resisted, it would be equivalent to hitting the stone with an egg. Therefore, he chose the expedient approach to surrender to Jizhou first to resolve the current crisis. Zang Ba sent him to welcome Han Zhan with Zhou Cang, and he was somewhat unwilling to do so, but when he heard what Han Zhan said, his eyes lit up. You must know that sponsoring Zang Ba as the Marquis of Kaiyang was just one of the other's conditions for recruitment. Now that he said it in public, it was a foregone conclusion that Zang Ba became the Marquis of Kaiyang.

Thinking of this, Wu Dun's attitude towards Han Zhan suddenly became enthusiastic. After he clasped his fists and saluted, he said respectfully: "The young Wu Dun meets the Marquis of Anyang. My leader leads people to wait on the official road ahead. Please move to it."

Accompanied by Wu Dun, Han Zhan came to the crowd to greet him. Sitting on the horse's back, he saw Wang Hun and the general with a beard and armor beside him. Han Zhan guessed that the man was probably Zang Ba, so he turned over and dismounted and walked over quickly.

Wang Hun and the general walked over shoulder to shoulder. When they saw Han Zhan coming, they stopped quickly and bowed to salute: "As a subordinate Wang Hun, please see the lord!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the general beside him also bowed to Han Zhan: "Zang Ba, Taishan, pay homage to Marquis Anyang!"

When Han Zhan learned that the person in front of him was indeed Zang Ba, he quickly reached out and held the other party's arm: "Han doesn't know it is Kaiyang Marquis, so he is very negligent, so please forgive me more."

When Zang Ba hesitated for a moment when he heard Han Zhan call him for Kaiyang Marquis, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled on his face. After laughing dryly, he said to Han Zhan: "Marquis Anyang, Zang has arranged a banquet in the city to welcome you, please!"
