"Report to the lord!" Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said, "I have to say that sending troops at this moment is the best time to destroy Cao Mengde. If you miss this opportunity, after Cao Mengde occupied the surrounding counties and became a climate, it would probably not be so easy to destroy him."

Han Zhan heard Guo Jia’s statement a little ambiguous, and couldn’t help but frown slightly, and then asked tentatively: “Fengxiao, according to what you said, have you agreed to send troops?”

"Sending troops to attack Cao Mengde is just a matter of one sentence. As long as our Jizhou army is moving, it will be easy to seize Dongjun." Guo Jia said with some embarrassment: "But even if Zhang Miao sent Chen Gong to invite us to send troops to attack Cao Mengde, there will always be a little injustice. My subordinates are worried that the ministers in the court will complain about this matter."

In terms of heart, Han Zhan really wanted to agree to Chen Gong's request and sent troops to attack Cao Mengde with Zhang Miao. Although he had already dug up Cao Mengde's civil officials Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, military generals Dian Wei, Xu Huang and others, with Cao Mengde's ability, he could reorganize a group of teams that could compete for the world in less than two years. He could not allow others to snore on his side. With such a large time bomb by his side, the sooner he would be removed. But he would agree to Zhang Miao's request just because of Chen Gong's words and send troops to attack Cao Mengde, which would probably attract criticism from the court.

Guo Jia saw Han Zhan’s hesitation and said tentatively: “Lord, if you can’t make up your mind, it’s better to call Zilong, Hansheng and the others and ask them what they mean.”

"It makes sense, it makes sense." Han Zhan quickly got up and shouted loudly to the outside of the hall: "Robu, Rob..."

After shouting twice, he didn't see Luo Bu's traces. Han Zhan was about to get angry. Guo Jia reminded him: "Lord, you asked Luo Bu to take Chen Gongtai to the inn, have you forgotten?"

After Guo Jia reminded him, Han Zhan immediately remembered that he had indeed sent Rob to send Chen Gong to the inn, so he quickly changed his words and shouted: "Come, come!"

Following his shouts, two soldiers came in from outside, bowed and asked in unison: "What are the lord's orders?"

"You go to the military camp in the city as soon as possible and invite Zilong, Hansheng, Ziman and the others to the mansion!"

"Here!" The two soldiers agreed and turned around and walked out of the main hall.

"Fengxiao," as soon as the two soldiers left the main hall, Han Zhan asked Guo Jia seriously: "I will ask you again, should we agree to Zhang Miao's request and send troops to attack Cao Mengde?"

Guo Jia did not answer Han Zhan’s question directly, but asked back: “Lord, it would be easy for our army to destroy Cao Mengde as soon as it sends troops. What I want to ask is, what do you plan to deal with Cao Mengde?”

"Cao Mengde is a capable minister in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times." As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Han Zhan instinctively expressed the comments of later generations of Cao Mengde. Seeing the surprised expression on Guo Jia's face, he immediately realized that he had missed his words and hurriedly covered up, "But this lord wants to destroy Cao Mengde, it is a mere task. He will definitely not be a traitor. So let him be a capable minister in governing the world in the court."

Before Guo Jia could speak, a soldier who had just left suddenly walked into the main hall and bowed to report to Han Zhan: "Report to the three generals of lord, Zilong, Hansheng, and Ziman have arrived!"

"What, you'll arrive so soon?" Han Zhan thought to himself that the soldier had not even walked out of the gate of the provincial governor's mansion, so why did he invite Zhao Yun and the others? He asked quickly: "Where are they now?"

"We are coming to this place." The soldier reported: "Before we have walked out of the mansion, we saw three generals coming to this place. The young man hurried over and reported to the lord."

The effort was not long. Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei stepped into the main hall and bowed to Han Zhan: "I will meet the lord!"

"I am just about to send someone to find you, but I didn't expect you to come first!" Han Zhan waved his hands left and right and said, "Sit down."

After Zhao Yun and others met Guo Jia again, they found a seat to sit down. After everyone was seated, Zhao Yun, who was sitting next to Guo Jia, clasped his fists at Han Zhan and said, "Lord, I heard that you have been rehearsing a Huangmei opera in the mansion recently. I happened to be idle, so I made an appointment to come to the mansion. I wonder what you are interested in looking for us?"

"General Zilong," Guo Jia, who was sitting next to Zhao Yun, saw Han Zhan wink at him, took the initiative to tell Chen Gong about Chen Yun and others about the visit, and finally said, "The lord sent someone to invite you here to ask you what you think, should we send troops?"

"Cao Mengde and us have no grudges, why do we send troops to attack him?" To Han Zhan's surprise, Dian Wei was the first to speak. He said disdainfully: "What's more, villains like Zhang Miao sent troops together."

Hearing Dian Wei complaining, Han Zhan suddenly remembered that Dian Wei was once Zhang Miao's subordinate, a soldier who was responsible for raising the flag. Because he couldn't stand Zhang Miao's actions, he left Chenliu and was taken in by accident. Now that he was going to cooperate with Zhang Miao, it would be strange that Dian Wei had no emotions in his heart.

"Where are you?" Han Zhan turned his eyes to Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong again: "What do you think?"

"Lord!" As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Huang Zhong stood up and replied, "I will listen to you. What do you say? If you want to send troops to fight Cao Mengde, I will be a pioneer!"

Zhao Yun was silent, and Han Zhan did not urge him, but looked at him quietly. After a long time, Zhao Yun finally said, "Lord, when the court officials asked Cao Mengde to send troops to attack our army, he not only did not send troops, but instead sent Man Chong to report the news. Although the person who reported the news came a little late, it was considered to be kind to you after all. If you sent troops to attack someone who was kind to you, it would probably attract a lot of criticism from people, which would affect your reputation at that time."

Zhao Yun's words happened to hit Han Zhan's mind. He stood up, walked back and forth behind several cases with his hands behind his back, thinking about the interests of the troops sent. If he didn't send troops, Cao Mengde would sooner or later become his confidant; if he sent troops, the other party had sent someone to warn him. This was somewhat of a kindness. If he was ungrateful, he would definitely be stabbed in the back.

"Lord," Seeing that Han Zhan was undecided, Guo Jia stood up and suggested to him: "If you can't take care of it, you might as well let the Chief Secretary and the Supervisor come over to study it. Maybe they can resolve your worries."

"It is reasonable to say filial piety. Then I will recruit the Chief Secretary and the Military Supervisor to see what they think." After Han Zhan said that, he called the soldiers outside the door in and told them: "Go and the Chief Secretary and the Military Supervisor to come here. I have important matters to discuss with them."
