Chapter 477 The class teacher returns to court (2)
Two days later, the troops led by Huang Zhong and Xun You met with Han Zhan and others. The two sides joined forces and drove towards Yedu in a mighty manner.
The army walked on the road for seven days, only 150 miles away from Yedu. Seeing that it was getting late, Han Zhan ordered to camp on the spot. At the same time, he sent an envoy to Yedu to inform Xun Yu and others of his return date and let them prepare accordingly.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day the army continued to rush forward. At noon, Huang Zhong, who was driving the road in front, personally brought a messenger to Han Zhan's carriage. Seeing Huang Zhong coming in person, Han Zhan guessed that there must be something important, so he quickly ordered the coachman to stop the car.
After the carriage stopped, Han Zhan lifted the curtain and poked out half of his body, looked at Huang Zhong outside and asked, "Hansheng, what's the important thing?"
"Report to the lord!" Huang Zhong bowed his fists to Han Zhan on the horse's back: "Ju Jianjun sent someone to send an emergency letter from the capital. The general dared not delay the delay, so he brought the messenger over."
Han Zhan glanced at the messenger behind Huang Zhong and asked casually: "Where is the letter?"
When the messenger heard Han Zhan’s question, he quickly turned over and got off the horse, took off the bamboo tube on his back, held it with both hands and raised it over his head. Rob, who was standing beside him, quickly stepped forward to take the bamboo tube in the messenger’s hand, returned to the carriage, and handed it to Han Zhan in the carriage.
Han Zhan opened the lid of the bamboo basket, pulled out the rolled-in ball of letter paper, and expanded it to browse. After seeing the content above clearly, Han Zhan couldn't help frowning.
Xiahou Yun, who was sitting in the carriage, saw Han Zhan frowning and guessing that something must have happened in his heart that upset him. He quickly asked softly: "Young Master, what did Mr. Ju say in his letter?"
Han Zhan handed Xiahou Yun the letter he had read, and poked his head out to order Rob who was standing next to the car: "Robu, go and invite the two military advisors, General Zilong, General Ziyi and others here."
"Lord, I wonder if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two pioneers, also called each other?" Rob asked immediately after Han Zhan finished speaking.
Han Zhan thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Rob's proposal.
Seeing that Han Zhan agreed to his opinion, Rob bowed and bowed, turned around and left.
After Huang Zhong and Luo Bu left, he respectfully asked Han Zhan: "Master, have you set up a tent next to the road?"
When Han Zhan was on the way, when he wanted to call his subordinates to discuss matters, he would temporarily set up a tent on the side of the road, and then chase the army after the matter was completed. At this moment, when he heard Huang Zhong's inquiry, Han Zhan felt that it was not appropriate to discuss the matter in public, so he nodded and agreed to Huang Zhong's request.
After receiving the order, Huang Zhong immediately directed the manpower to build a tent on a flat side of the road. When Guo Jia, Xun You, Zhao Yun and others received the notice from Rob, the tent had been set up, and Chen Dao was deploying the Tiger Guard outside the tent as a warning.
Everyone walked into the tent and saw Han Zhan sitting in the middle, while Xiahou Yun stood behind him. Guo Jia knew that Han Zhan would not have summoned everyone during the march if there was nothing important. He hurriedly bowed and asked, "Lord, I don't know what is the important thing to ask me to wait here in a hurry?"
"Ju Su and Ju Gong have sent a letter, please take a look." After Han Zhan said that, he turned his head and looked at Xiahou Yun behind him, winked at her, and signaled her to hand the letter to everyone to browse.
Xiahou Yun nodded, and came to Guo Jia with the letter in his hand, and handed him the letter sent by Ju Su to him. Taking advantage of Guo Jia's time to read the letter, Han Zhan said to Xun You, Zhao Yun and others who were anxious, "Duke Ju and sent someone to send a letter, saying that rumors are everywhere in the capital that we have been angry with Qingzhou, and all the princes will send troops to Yedu like they were attacking Dong Zhuo. As a result, the hearts of the people in the capital were fluctuating. Many wealthy families and wealthy families were like ants in a hot pot, packing up their fine and soft to escape. There are also rumors that because some people in the court were dissatisfied with this marquis, they privately colluded with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and prepared to return to the army, which was not good for us."
"Marquis of Anyang!" Guan Yu heard that the people in Yedu were panic and were afraid that something would happen to Liu Bei, so he hurriedly bowed to Han Zhan and asked anxiously: "I wonder when we can return to the capital?"
"According to the current marching speed, the army should arrive in Yedu in the afternoon tomorrow." Han Zhan did not know how the remnants of the Yellow Turban tribes colluded with the ministers in the court would hinder the army, so he decided to slow down the marching speed so that even if he encountered a sneak attack, the army could handle it calmly. When he heard Guan Yu's problem, he said casually: "Now that there are variables, we may have to wait until the next day before we can return to Yedu."
Guan Yu knew that Han Zhan delayed his arrival in Yedu to prevent ambushing on the road, and it was meaningless to his arrangements. Zhang Fei was anxious to see Liu Bei, so he said in a suffocation: "Marquis Anyang, we have a 100,000 army. How many people can there be in the remnants of the Yellow Turbans? Please let my brothers set the way for the army in front. If they don't come, Lao Zhang will make them turn into powder in an instant."
"Brother Yide is at ease, so you have to make a long-term plan for this matter." Han Zhan said this, and saw that Guo Jia had read Ju Zu's letter, he looked at him and asked, "Fengxiao, what do you think about this matter?"
"Return to the lord's words," Guo Jia quickly replied, "The people in the city are in a state of great peace. The lord needs to go back early to calm the people's hearts. Jia feels that the army's itinerary remains unchanged, and he should still rush back to Yedu tomorrow afternoon. Those who are rioting will naturally stop seeing more than 100,000 troops returning."
"In addition to the people in the city's hearts, there are ministers in the court colluding with the old Yellow Turbans." Han Zhan reminded Guo Jia: "If these troops attack the army on the road, something might be a big deal."
Regarding Han Zhan's concern, Guo Jia just smiled faintly and said casually: "Lord is worried too much. As Zhang Xianfeng said, how many people can the old Yellow Turban subordinates dare to compete with our tens of thousands of troops? If they don't come, they will be turned into powder in an instant."
Zhang Fei, who was standing aside, saw that Guo Jia's opinion coincided with him, and his mouth was almost at his ears. He thought to himself that if he marched at the current speed, he would see his long-lost brother tomorrow afternoon.
Seeing that Han Zhan was still silent, Guo Jia continued to say: "In Jia's opinion, the old Yellow Turbans may send someone to assassinate the lord on our way back to the capital. Therefore, when we camp tonight, the Tiger Guards must strengthen their defense."
When Guo Jia mentioned the word assassination, Han Zhan couldn't help but shook his whole body and his pupils shrank violently. He felt that since he came to this era, he seemed to have a special fate with him. If he hadn't been lucky, he would not have known how many times he had died. If the ministers in the court really sent the old Yellow Turbans to assassinate him, he ordered the army to slow down the marching speed, which would hit the other party's wishes. For the present plan, it was to let the army continue to maintain the marching speed and rush back to Yedu tomorrow afternoon. As for the evening, it would be enough to let Chen Dao strengthen the defense near his tent. No matter how high the assassin in the remnants of the Yellow Turbans were, could he still be free to enter and exit the army of more than 100,000?
Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful. In order to appease the surrendered Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, he left Zhang Ning and a group of Yellow Turban generals in Qingzhou. If Zhang Ning was by his side, perhaps those old Yellow Turban subordinates who came to assassinate would be afraid of the mouse and dare not attack him easily.
"Lord! Lord!" Seeing Han Zhan's absent-minded look, Guo Jia quickly called him twice and woke him up from his thoughts. Seeing Han Zhan's eyes turned to him again, he continued to ask: "Does the army continue to march at the current speed?"
"Fengxiao, what you said is very much." Han Zhan nodded at Guo Jia: "Our slowdown in the marching speed will only give the ministers in the court more time to deal with us. This marquis now announces that the army will continue to maintain its current marching speed and must rush back to Yedu in the afternoon tomorrow."
