Chapter 490 Liu Guanzhang leaves
After bowing to Han Zhan, Luo Bu reported, "Report to the lord, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang were asking for a meeting outside the mansion. The military advisor asked me to ask the lord to return home quickly."
"The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang want to see me?" After hearing Rob's report, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel surprised. What would these three people have to do with him? He quickly ordered: "Prepare the car quickly and go home!"
Xun Yu, Ju Su and others who came out of the hall saw Han Zhan leaving with Rob in a hurry, and couldn't help but look at each other. After a while, Xun Yu asked Ju Su: "Don't you, your lord, have you left in a hurry. Could something big happen?"
Ju Su muttered in his heart for a long time, feeling that even if something happened, it was outside his authority. He shook his head and replied with a wry smile: "Return to the words of the Changshi, the lower official will not know what happened." After saying that, he saw Xun Yu with a puzzled look on his face, as if he didn't believe in his words, and quickly added, "If the Changshi does not believe, the lower official will be willing to follow the Changshi to the Prefecture and the Prime Minister's Mansion to check."
Xun Yu did not believe that Ju Su didn't know what happened. Seeing that the other party offered to go to the provincial and ministerial palace to check, he nodded and agreed: "It's so good, let's go to the provincial and ministerial palace to see what happened."
When the carriage that Han Zhan was riding approached the Zhoumu Mansion, he specifically poked his head out to check it out. When he saw that there were three people standing at the door of the mansion, they were Liu, Guan and Zhang. When the carriage arrived at the door of the mansion, Han Zhan lifted the curtain and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Han when you are here?"
"Have you met Anyang Marquis!" When Liu, Guan and Zhang saw Han Zhan appear, they hurried forward to salute him.
Han Zhan was helped out by Rob and said to the three of them: "This is not where to speak. You and others followed me into the mansion to speak."
After coming to the main hall to sit down, Han Zhan looked at Liu, Guan and Zhang standing in front of him and asked, "You are the three brothers who have been together for a long time. If you don't stay in the mansion to reminisce about the past, what are you going to do here?"
"When you go back to Anyang Hou," Liu Bei quickly stepped forward and replied respectfully: "I have been away from home for a long time and want to go home to worship my ancestors. Please let Anyang Hou let go."
When Han Zhan heard Liu Bei's reason, he couldn't help laughing. He thought that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Liu Bei married to Dongwu and wanted to escape back to Jingzhou, he used this reason in front of Wu Guotai. At this moment, half a year was still left before the day of worshiping ancestors. Liu Bei said this just to escape from Yedu.
Although he had seen through Liu Bei's Xiaojiu, Han Zhan still asked without hesitation: "Envoy Liu, I wonder how many people do you plan to bring to worship your ancestors?"
"Brothers are three." Liu Bei continued to beg: "I would like to ask if the Marquis of Anyang can be assured."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, Han Zhan did not express his opinion immediately, but shouted to the outside: "Come on!"
When Liu Bei heard Han Zhan's shouting, he couldn't help but tremble all over. He thought the other party was about to ask someone to take him down, and he couldn't help feeling a little confused. Seeing Rob swaying into the lobby with his head held high, he even had the idea of running away.
"Lord!" Rob came to Han Zhan and asked, "I don't know what instructions?"
"The Liu Xuande brothers and three want to leave the capital," Han Zhan said to Rob: "Get out to get a plate of gold as their money."
When Liu Bei learned that Han Zhan asked Robu to enter, not to take him down, but to prepare his travel expenses, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In order to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, he waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, you don't have to worry about it. My three brothers have accumulated some savings for so many years, and there is enough on the road."
Seeing that Liu Bei wanted to reject his kindness, Han Zhan waved his hand at him and said, "This time he went to Qingzhou, Yun Chang and Yide made many great achievements. If he paid less, why refuse?"
Guan Yu, who was standing aside, heard Han Zhan mention him and Zhang Fei, quickly stepped forward and said humbly: "Marquis Anyang, what's the point of asking?"
"Your brothers don't have to refuse, this is what you and Yide deserve." Han Zhan said seriously: "You three brothers have to go so far, and there must be a lot of money along the way, so it's better to bring more money."
As he was talking, Rob had already walked out of the back hall holding a plate of gold. Han Zhan pointed at Liu Bei with his hand and signaled him to hand over the gold to Liu Bei. After Liu Bei took the gold with both hands, he thanked Han Zhan: "Thank you for the reward of Anyang Hou."
Han Zhan comforted the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang a few more words, and sent them away.
Shortly after the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang left, Xun Yu and Ju Su rushed over. When they learned that Han Zhan had agreed to Liu Bei and the others leave Yecheng, Ju Su remembered to stamp his feet and said repeatedly: "Lord, if you ask Liu Bei to leave Yecheng, it will be like a tiger returning to the mountain, and sooner or later it will cause great trouble."
Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei, they could not pose a threat to Han Zhan. To gain a foothold in troubled times, it would be far from enough to have military generals, and they also need the assistance of civil servants. Sun Qian and Jian Yong, the most capable civil servants under Liu Bei, are now staying in Yedu and will not follow him. After Liu Bei left Yecheng, it is not easy to recruit civil servants again, because in this era, to cultivate a qualified civil servant, in addition to studying and making friends, they also need to become famous through various reputations, and there is no need to avoid the various resources provided by famous families.
Liu Bei and others are like rootless duckweeds at this moment, with no soldiers or power in their hands. Which civil servant who is eager to prove their abilities in troubled times will follow them desperately? It is precisely based on this consideration that he was worried about Ju Shu that Han Zhan disagreed with: "Liu Guan and Zhang are not only three people. Even if they are braver, they can still defeat the former King of Chu? The King of Chu even committed suicide by slashing his throat. If Liu Bei wanted to continue to fight against this marquis, he would probably be even more miserable by King of Chu."
According to Ju Su's idea, since Liu Guanzhang and others cannot be used by Han Zhan, it is better to kill them as soon as possible, so as not to become a major concern in the future. At this moment, seeing Han Zhan looking confident, he felt disappointed. He laughed dryly and was about to retreat to the side, but he heard Han Zhan say, "Don't you, although this marquis agrees that Liu Xuande and others will leave Yecheng, you should still know where they are going as soon as possible. If possible, send more people to monitor him, so that if he does anything wrong, this marquis can also prepare earlier."
After giving Ju Su instructions, Han Zhan looked at Xun Yu and said, "Chang Shi, the Taishi Ci army's food supply must not make any mistakes, otherwise it will cause unstable morale."
