Five days passed in a flash, and it was soon time to enter the palace to perform.

Han Zhan was not in a hurry to consider that Emperor Xian of Han was going to court to discuss matters in the morning, but waited until almost noon before he sent Rob to call his eighth aunt to the back hall.

After the eighth aunt finished the ceremony, Han Zhan asked straight to the point: "Eighth aunt, the five-day deadline has arrived. I wonder if I have practiced the two new Huangmei operas that I told you to rehearse, have you ever practiced them?"

"I have already mastered my words when I go back to my lord." After reporting truthfully, the eighth aunt asked worriedly: "But I am worried that the girls have never seen the emperor before, and suddenly entered the palace, and I can't help panic. If you lose your etiquette before, you may implicate your lord."

"Since you are already skilled, after entering the palace, you will perform as you normally do when you rehearse." After hearing the eighth aunt finish speaking, Han Zhan waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Tell the girls later that this marquis will enter the palace with you. Even if there is any situation where the marquis in front of you, this marquis will take it with you."

Han Zhan's words were equivalent to giving Bagu a reassurance. Her face showed a relaxed expression and she said hurriedly: "Thank you, lord, I will tell you what your lord said to the girls so that they can express it well today and not embarrass you."

"Let the girls hurry up and prepare. After lunch, we will come to the palace to meet the holy."

Considering that Emperor Xian of Han was used to being bullied by Dong Zhuo before, Han Zhan might scare him if he brought people into the palace rashly. He called Chen Dao and told him, "Shuzhi, please send someone to the palace to report that after lunch, this marquis will bring the opera troupe to the palace to perform his skills."

As soon as Chen Dao left, Rob walked in with a letter and reported to Han Zhan: "Reported to take the initiative, Chen Gongtai sent someone to send him."

"Chen Gongtai's letter?" Han Zhan heard that it was Chen Gong's letter, and immediately felt an ominous premonition in his heart, and he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and show me the letter."

Han Zhan's premonition was correct. Chen Gong told Han Zhan in a letter that after Zhang Miao learned that the court planned to recruit Cao Mengde into the capital, he suddenly changed his mind and was unwilling to send troops to attack Cao Mengde.

After reading the letter, Han Zhan snorted coldly, and then ordered Rob: "Rob, go and invite the military advisor!"

Before Rob left, he saw Guo Jia staggering in from outside and said, "Lord, I don't know what to look for at subordinates?"

"Fengxiao, Gongtai just sent someone to send a letter." Han Zhan frowned and sneered, "I didn't expect Zhang Miao to change his mind again."

"What, Zhang Miao changed his mind again?" Guo Jia couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with a serious expression: "What did the Gongtai say in the letter?"

Han Zhan handed the letter in his hand to Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, you can take a look at it yourself."

Guo Jia took the letter and carefully browsed the contents on it. After reading the letter, a relaxed expression appeared on his face. He sorted out his clothes and bowed to Han Zhan: "Congratulations to lord, congratulations to lord?"

"Where does the joy come from?" Han Zhan asked blankly.

"Lord, some time ago, we agreed with Zhang Miao to jointly send troops to attack Cao Mengde and then divide the East County equally." Guo Jia said with a smile: "Since Zhang Mengzhuo has resigned and is unwilling to send troops, then we just happened to wait for Cao Mengde to take over the entire East County after he entered the capital, so we don't have to divide the entire East County equally with anyone."

Han Zhan was considering sending troops with Zhang Miao and seizing Dongjun from Cao Mengde. When he saw that the other party did not send troops, he felt a little uncomfortable. But now after hearing what Guo Jia said, he realized that he was in a slight horn. In fact, since Emperor Xian of Han issued an edict to Cao Mengde and ordered him to enter the capital, Zhang Miao became irrelevant. He changed his mind and took Dongjun, and he had nothing to do. When the time was right, he would then rush his troops south to capture Chenliu and expand his territory.

"Also," Guo Jia continued: "The emperor's edict to Cao Mengde should have arrived in Dongjun at this moment, but no news has been heard for a long time. I don't know if Cao Mengde will enter the capital with the order. I think we should order the army to prepare for the expedition as soon as possible. Once Cao Mengde resists the order, we can send troops with justification."

"If you want to send troops, you must call my elder brother and the others." Han Zhan said, and ordered Rob who was standing aside: "Rob, go to the military camp immediately and invite my elder brother."

Rob naturally knew that the eldest brother Han Zhan was talking about was Zhao Yun, so he quickly agreed, turned around and left. Guo Jia asked curiously: "Lord, the last time he sent troops to Qingzhou was General Zilong led his troops to the expedition. This time he went to Dongjun, why not let General Ziyi try it?"

"No." Han Zhan immediately shook his head to object to Guo Jia's proposal. Seeing Guo Jia's confused look, he quickly explained: "I once said that when I brought Miss Cao back, I would arrange for Ziyi to get married immediately. Now Miss Cao can enter Beijing soon. How can I delay Ziyi's life due to going to war?"

As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, the butler patch in the backyard walked in from outside the hall. He came to Han Zhan and said respectfully: "Young master, lunch is ready. Are you having meals here?"

Han Zhan nodded and said, "Yes, put lunch in the lobby, and I will have dinner with the military advisor." At this point, he turned his head and said to Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, after lunch, I will take the opera troupe into the palace to perform. How about Fengxiao and I will eat with me, and then enter the palace together after dinner?"

Guo Jia is a regular guest in Han Zhan's mansion, and the purpose of coming here today was to enter the palace with Han Zhan to meet the saint. Since Han Zhan took the initiative to make a request, he did not refuse. He sat down in the lower position with a swagger and bowed to Han Zhan and said, "Thank you for your kindness, then Jia is more respectful than obedient."

Seeing that Guo Jia was willing to stay and have a meal with him, Han Zhan urged the patch: "Patch, bring the lunch quickly, and I will have a meal with the military advisor."

"Master, wait a moment." Just as the patch turned around and was about to leave, Guo Jia called him and reminded Han Zhan: "You will see General Zilong later. I guess he has no meals either. Why not wait for him to come, and we will have another meal?"

"Fengxiao, you are right." After Guo Jia reminded him, Han Zhan immediately remembered that he had forgotten such an important person as Zhao Yun, and quickly told him to patch: "Patch, tell the meals of three people in the kitchen. Remember, General Zilong is a warrior, and he has a large appetite, so he doubles the amount of prepared for him."
