Chapter 0008 Camping in the wild

After learning that the hundred generals beside him were Zhao Yun, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel ecstatic after a brief shock. He felt that he had picked up a treasure. He was still worried about not being able to recruit Zhang He, but who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, such a big piece of pie fell from the sky. Compared with Zhao Yun, Zhang He seemed irrelevant. Moreover, recruiting a hundred general is much easier than recruiting a Sima of the Army.

At this time, he also remembered that in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhao Yun was first under Yuan Shao's subordinate. Because he felt that Yuan Shao had no loyalty to the emperor and save the people, he defected to Gongsun Zan in the Battle of Jieqiao. In other words, long before Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, Zhao Yun was a member of the Jizhou Army.

When Zhao Yun saw Han Zhan looking at him, he felt a chill and thought to himself: This young master of Han Fujun would not have a Long Yang habit, otherwise how could he keep looking at him and giggling. He calmed down and shouted in a low voice: "Young Master, your son!"

When Han Zhan heard Zhao Yun calling him, he was shocked. He quickly sat upright on the horse's back and turned his head and asked, "Zilong, is there anything wrong?"

"Young Master, are you okay?" Zhao Yun quickly said perfunctorily: "I saw that the young master seemed to be stunned. I was worried that you would fall off the horse's back, so I called you twice."

Zhao Yun's words made Han Zhan realize his ruthlessness just now. He quickly laughed and said, "Zilong, I just thought of an important thing, so I was fascinated by the moment."

In order to conceal his loss of composure, he pointed to the mountains in the distance and said, "Zilong, look at the mountains over there. I was thinking that there are many stones and few land in the mountains. Even if the mountain people grow grain, they will not have much harvest in a year. It is better to let them plant persimmon trees, pomegranate trees and corn. When it matures, persimmons and pomegranates can go to the market to exchange for some copper coins, and corn can be left as grain..."

Before Han Zhan finished speaking, Zhao Yun asked in surprise: "Young master, I have heard of persimmons and pomegranates. But what is this corn? Is it a kind of rice with a color like jade?"

When Han Zhan heard Zhao Yun say this, he thought to himself that corn was not called the name corn when he was in the Three Kingdoms? So he asked tentatively: "Since you have never heard of corn, that corn, reed, corn, big millet, stick, corn, corn, corn, jade, jade, have you always heard of it?"

After hearing the alias of the corn that Han Zhan said, Zhao Yun still shook his head like a rattle, "Young Master, I have never heard of what you said."

Han Zhan was a little crazy. It shouldn't be. How could the Three Kingdoms have no corn? He clearly remembered that in the old version of "The Battle of Guandu" in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Yuan Shao suppressed Cao's army and ordered his subordinates to build a mountain of earth near Cao's camp and sent archers to shoot arrows into the camp. A group of officers and soldiers in Cao's camp hid behind the shield and ate corn. Could it be that the props in the drama were used in the wrong way? There was no crop like corn in the Three Kingdoms period?

Seeing Han Zhan staring at him in a while, and then saying something to him that he couldn't understand, Zhao Yun felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have come over to say hello to him. However, it was already in a dilemma. He could not leave casually before the young master had nothing to say. When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw a cavalry riding a horse back from the front and stopped in front of Zhao Yun, "Smart Sima, please!"

Zhao Yunru received a general amnesty and hurriedly bowed to Han Zhan and said, "Young Master, I have an urgent matter to recruit the army, but I have lost my companion." After that, without waiting for Han Zhan to speak, he and the cavalry who came to report the news rode forward.

After Zhao Yun left, Han Zhan turned over and dismounted the horse and returned the horse to the soldiers who led him. Second, he turned around and got on the carriage again. Seeing Han Zhan climbing onto the carriage again, Xun Chen said unhappily: "Zhan'er, your horsemanship is not good, so don't show off. Look, your riding time just now slowed down the convoy and wasted a lot of time."

The reason why Han Zhan was not good at equestrianism was, on the one hand, because the carriage was too bumpy, and on the other hand, he didn't want to see Yuan Shao so soon, so he deliberately delayed the time. Now that he met Zhao Yun, his ideas changed. Although Han Fu would become powerless after Yuan Shao moved into Jizhou, he wanted to come to protect the house. I believe that Yuan Shao, who had just occupied Jizhou, didn't know how to refuse, and he could just bring Zhao Yun over with justice.

Faced with Xun Chen's reproach, he did not refute, but bowed and replied with a smile: "My uncle has taught me, Zhan'er remembers it."

It is more than 200 miles from Jizhou to Yuanying, but due to the fact that there are several carriages full of gifts, the entire marching force has slowed down, so that it is only halfway through darkness.

Zhang He came to the carriage and asked Xun Chen for instructions: "Mr. Youruo, it's too late, are we going to camp on the spot?"

"General Ye Yi," Although Zhang He was just a military sarcasm, Xun Chen still called him the general very politely: "Can there be villages and towns nearby?"

Zhang He shook his head and said, "No, according to the horse's return, the nearest village is twenty miles away."

"Since that's the case, then camp in the wilderness!" After Xun Chen ordered Zhang He, he turned his head to Han Zhan and said, "Zhan'er, we are still far away from the villages and towns, so we can only camp in the wilderness."

With the order to set up camp, Zhang He commanded his troops to erect nearly a hundred camp tents in the open space next to a stream.

After setting up camp, Xun Chen sent someone to call Zhang He to his tent and asked straight to the point: "General Ye Yi, how long does it take for us to arrive at Yuanying?"

Zhang He frowned and thought for a moment, then replied, "Report to Mr. Youruo, if we speed up the march tomorrow, we will arrive at Yuan Gong's camp before it will be." As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously turned to Han Zhan next to him.

Xun Chen noticed that Zhang He was looking at Han Zhan, and knew in his heart that the other party was blaming his nephew. If he hadn't been riding a horse on a whim and slowed down the marching of the brigade, he might have been able to spend the night in the village tonight. Thinking of this, he turned to Zhang He and said, "Don't worry, our marching of tomorrow will definitely be faster than now."

At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from outside the tent, and then a voice was heard shouting: "Where is the military Sima?"
