"Ziman!" Seeing that everyone was not talking, in order to break the deadlock, Guo Jia walked to Dian Wei and asked, "Where is the assassin now?"

Faced with Guo Jia's question, Dian Wei did not answer immediately, but turned his gaze for help to Han Zhan. After Han Zhan and Dian Wei's eyes met, they understood what the other party wanted to express, so they nodded to him and signaled that he could tell the truth.

"If you go back to the military advisor," Dian Wei replied truthfully after getting Han Zhan's acquiesce, "The assassin has been killed after being tortured."

"Oh, it's such a pity." Xun You stomped his feet when he heard Dian Wei say this, "General Ziman, you should leave a living place so that when the army returns to the court, we can take him back and confront Yang Qi and others in the court."

"Your words are wrong," Guo Jia immediately refuted Xun You's statement: "Even if we take this assassin back to confront Yang Qi and others, they will deny it, and even bite it back, saying that the lord intended to frame it, which may have an impact on the lord's reputation at that time."

The reason why Han Zhan did not instruct Dian Wei to stay alive was that he considered that such as an assassin brought back to the capital, and the envoys would not admit it. Instead of arguing with them in the court, it would be better to calm down for the time being, and wait for them to relax their vigilance and give them a thunder blow to completely eradicate them.

Having made up his mind, Han Zhan said to everyone: "Since the assassin is dead, you must keep your mouth shut about this matter and just pretend that this has not happened."

Everyone was stunned when they heard Han Zhan say this. But Guo Jia, Xun You and others quickly figured out the reason and said repeatedly: "The lord is a great plan. As long as we conceal the news of the assassin's assassination, the court officials secretly instructed in the capital will not know whether the assassin has attacked the lord. If they mistakenly think that the assassin is just collecting money and not doing things, the two sides may feel a grudge and will no longer be able to join forces to deal with the lord."

After hearing the explanations of the two military advisors, the civil and military officials in the tent immediately showed a sudden enlightenment on their faces. If the news of the assassin was strictly blocked, the court officials in the capital would not know whether the assassin should take action and would ask the remnants of the Yellow Turban tribes. When the remnants of the Yellow Turban tribes saw that the assassin was missing, they would think that they had been silenced by the court officials and would definitely send someone to argue with the court officials. In this way, the two parties who originally cooperated had conflicts and were extremely dull and wanted to send someone to deal with Han Zhan again, so they could only find a way again.

Seeing that everyone had understood his intentions, Han Zhan waved to them and said, "Everyone, it will be dawn in another hour. Then the army will still have to rush forward, so go back and rest."

After Guo Jia and others left, they came to Han Zhan and asked in a low voice: "What will the lord plan to deal with these court officials in the future?"

"Let the Ju Jianjun collect their evidence first," Han Zhan had a plan in his mind. Seeing Guo Jia asking on his own initiative, he simply said what he was thinking: "When the time is right, another one will kill the root." He was worried that his plan would cause Guo Jia's plan, and he added, "If these people are not eliminated, it will sooner or later be a disaster in the court."

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia agreed with Han Zhan’s approach: “What the lord said is that we are temporarily tolerant and secretly collect their evidence. When the time is ripe, we will decisively eradicate them.”

As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Chen Dao suddenly walked in from outside the tent and bowed to Han Zhan: "Report to the lord, there is an envoy from Cao Mengde, the prefect of Dongjun, outside, asking for a visit."

"What, Cao Mengde's envoy?" Han Zhan looked out of the tent. There were stars outside the sky. He frowned and muttered, "How could he appear outside the camp at this time?"

"Jia probably was because Cao Mengde had something important to send the messenger to travel overnight." Guo Jia said to Han Zhan: "It's better to recruit him and ask what happened."

Han Zhan was also anxious to know what was sold in Cao Cao's gourd, so he ordered Chen Dao: "Shuzhi, bring the envoy up."

The effort was not long, and an official who seemed to be over 30 years old followed Chen Dao in. Seeing Han Zhan sitting in the middle, he hurried forward to salute and said respectfully: "The prefect of Dongjun is under the rule of Gaoping County, Man Chong, and has met the Marquis of Anyang."

Man Chong?!When Han Zhan almost jumped out of his seat when he heard the other party’s name. He thought Cao Cao had sent an ordinary subordinate as an envoy, but he didn’t expect to send a three-country awesome man like Man Chong to take action. It seemed that there must be something big to tell him. He quickly pointed to the empty seat next to him and said with a smile: “Man Boning is exempt from gifts, please sit down quickly!”

Man Chong didn't expect Han Zhan to know his words, so he couldn't help but be stunned. Han Zhan said to Chen Dao: "Shuzhi, Mr. Boning is traveling all night. He must be tired and hungry. Go quickly to clean up the wine and food and wash Mr. Boning."

Man Chong, who woke up from the shock, saw Han Zhan’s instructions to prepare food and drink for him, and quickly bowed to him again, and said gratefully: “Thank you, Marquis Anyang.”

After Man Chong sat down, Han Zhan continued to ask: "Mr. Boning, I wonder if you are the one who is important to you when you come to see me late at night?"

Hearing Han Zhan’s question, Man Chong quickly took out a letter from his sleeve, held it with both hands and raised it over his head, and said, “My lord told me to send an emergency letter to Anyang Hou overnight, and ask Anyang Hou to take a look.”

Han Zhan turned his head and winked at Rob who was standing behind him. Rob quickly walked to Man Chong's side, took the letter from him, and then walked back, put the letter in front of Han Zhan.

Han Zhan pulled out the letter from the envelope and looked carefully. After looking at it for a while, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After reading it, he put the letter on the table casually and said with a sneer: "A bunch of shameless villains, I am polite to them. Do you really think that this marquis is weak and can you bully?"

Seeing Han Zhan showing murderous aura, Guo Jia stood up and asked, "Lord, I don't know what happened?"

Han Zhan picked up the letter on the table and handed it to Guo Jia, saying, "These court officials are very afraid that this marquis will not die. Not only will they send assassins, but they even contacted Cao Mengde privately, preparing to launch a sneak attack from behind while our army was marching. Cao Mengde disdained to join them, so he compiled a letter and sent Mr. Boning to warn me."
