Chapter 476
Zang Ba originally thought that Han Zhan was now wielding the emperor to command the princes. Even if he was not as domineering as Dong Zhuo, he was a arrogant and difficult-to-dealer. Unexpectedly, when he saw him today, he unexpectedly discovered that the other party was so approachable, and his favor for him suddenly increased.
When they arrived at the main hall, Han Zhan originally wanted to let Zang Ba be the main position, but he refused. Both sides apologized for a long time, but in the end, Han Zhan sat in the main position, and Zang Ba sat in the lower left head. After the two sat down, the civil and military officials of both sides sat down in their respective positions.
After drinking three times, the dishes and five flavors, Zang Ba began to ask Han Zhan carefully about his arrangements for his next step: "Marquis Anyang, I have surrendered to Jizhou. I wonder how you plan to resettle us?"
Han Zhan had already thought of the answer to Zang Ba's question on the way. At this moment, when he heard Zang Ba ask, he said without hesitation: "General Zang, I am not asking Wang Hun to tell you that as long as you surrender to Jizhou, you can not only be promoted, but also the existing troops and territory will not change, and will still be under your jurisdiction."
When Han Zhan spoke, the main hall was very quiet. Not only Zang Ba heard it clearly, but even Sun Guan, Wu Dun and Yin Li, who was under his command, heard it. Seeing that Han Zhan was willing to keep his promise, the generals present could not help but look at each other. They all saw relief expressions on each other's faces.
Since Han Zhan was willing to fulfill his promise, the atmosphere of the banquet would be much warmer. Not only did Wu Dun and Yin Li, who strongly advocated surrender to Jizhou, stood up to toast Han Zhan, but even Sun Guan, who was the strongest opposition, stood up and saluted Han Zhan.
From Wang Hun's letter to him, Han Zhan knew that the person who opposed Zang Ba's surrender to Jizhou was Sun Guan, and he was very dissatisfied with him. Seeing him coming to toast him at this moment, he temporarily put down his dissatisfaction with him, and said a few words to him with a smile on his face, and drank a glass of wine.
After the banquet ended, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun followed Han Zhan to his room. After everyone sat down, Zhao Yun asked, "Second brother, are you really planning to hand over Kaiyang Taishan and other places to Zang Ba and others to the jurisdiction of?"
"That's right." Han Zhan nodded and replied, "This is one of the conditions for letting Zang Ba surrender to Jizhou. We cannot be a person without trust."
After Han Zhan finished speaking, he saw Zhao Yun frowning and looked worried, and added: "We sent troops this time mainly to capture Qingzhou, use the grain of Jizhou to support Qingzhou's fate, and ensure that there are stable soldiers in the future. As for Taishan and Kaiyang, it is just an unexpected surprise. Even if this marquis wants to send people to govern this place, no one can send them. Even so, why not be more generous and let Zang Ba and others manage this place, so there is no need to worry about unstable people."
Guo Jia talked to Zhao Yun in private and knew what he was worried about, so he said, "Lord, General Zilong is also kind. He is worried that you will hand over these two places to Zang Ba for management, but do not send officials to restrain him. I am afraid that there will be a situation where you will lose the worst in the future."
"Brother, since you are worried that there will be no officials to restrain Zang Ba, then leave Zhou Cang behind." Han Zhan said to himself: "Zhou Cang and Zang Ba are old acquaintances. I believe that keeping him will not arouse the vigilance of Zang Ba and others."
Zhou Cang once followed Zhao Yun for a while, and Zhao Yun was very clear about his personality. Therefore, he did not object to Han Zhan's decision, and even took the initiative to propose: "When Zhou Cang was in trouble, there was a sworn brother named Pei Yuanshao. It would be better to ask Zhou Cang to recruit this person and stay in Kaiyang together, so that they can take care of each other."
Han Zhan and others rested in Kaiyang City for one night, and early the next morning, they drove towards Jizhou. Zang Ba originally thought that Han Zhan would stay for a few days when he arrived at his territory. However, he had to leave for only one night and hurriedly went to Han Zhan to ask: "Marquis Anyang is so anxious to drive, is there anything wrong with his subordinates doing?"
"General Zang is too worried." Since the imperial court's decree to grant Zang Ba a title of marquis, Han Zhan no longer called him Kaiyang Marquis, but called his military post "the soldiers left Jizhou for a long time and were homesick. Since Qingzhou has been taken down, the team is returning to the court."
After listening to Han Zhan's explanation, Zang Ba's heart was finally put back in his stomach. He quickly bowed to Han Zhan and said respectfully: "Even if that's the case, I'll send Anyang Marquis with pride!"
After the army left Kaiyang in a mighty manner, Han Zhan ordered Zhao Yun: "Brother, send someone to send a letter to Hansheng immediately, telling them that they don't have to continue going south, and they can go back to Jizhou by Mount Tai."
After the messenger was sent, Han Zhan urged the horse to Guan Yu again and said to him: "Brother Yun, you and Brother Yide have fulfilled your promise to this marquis. This time when you return to Yedu, this marquis will definitely order someone to release Liu Xuande and reunite your three brothers. But I wonder where you plan to go next?"
Guan Yu once considered that as soon as the Qingzhou war ended, he and Zhang Fei would return to Yedu, take Liu Bei away, and then find a place to live in seclusion. However, after the war against Qingzhou, he realized that as today as the chaos was in chaos, even if he wanted to retire to the mountains and forests, he probably wouldn't be able to find a suitable place.
He hesitated for a long time before answering: "If you go back to Anyang Hou, my brothers and I will immediately hand over the military power after returning to Yedu and stay in the city with my elder brother to be an ordinary citizen."
"Chang Yun!" As soon as Guan Yu finished speaking, Guo Jia, who had caught up at some point, sighed and said, "You and Yide are both good martial arts, and are suitable for making achievements in troubled times. It would be a pity if you just stay in anonymous and become an ordinary person."
Han Zhan was unwilling to make things difficult for Guan Yu, so he said to him: "Brother Yun, when he returns to Yedu, I will release Liu Xuande immediately and give you three brothers a sum of money. As for where you go next and what you want to do, you will decide on your own. I will never interfere."
Seeing that Guo Jia seemed to want to say something, Han Zhan raised his hand and interrupted him and continued to say to Guan Yu: "If you want to continue to serve in the army, I am begging for it. If I don't want to stay in Yedu and plan to join others, I will never stop me. Everything will be followed."
