Han Yan turned her head and looked at Lihua. After being silent for a long time, she said, "Brother, my uncle has some truth. It is better to be unfilial to have three no queens. If you send troops this time, what's the accident? Will our Han family be cut off from the queen?"

When Han Zhan heard Han Yan say this, he was so amused that he reached out to Han Bian, "Sister Yan, even if I am gone, won't I still have my second brother here? As long as he is alive, he can still make branches and leaves for our Han family."

"Brother," Han Bing said with some fear and trepidation: "I am a concubine's son. How can I bear the responsibility of spreading the Han family?"

Han Zhan glared at his eyes and said in a stern tone: "Since the Han family is only three of us, and there is no legitimate son or illegitimate son, do you understand?"

When Han Bing heard Han Zhan say this, he couldn't help but feel warm and quickly replied: "I understand, brother!"

...

Two days later, Han Zhan left Xun Yu, Xiahou Yun, and three thousand county soldiers to stay. He led Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Xun You, Dian Wei and others to command 5,000 troops and horses, and left Sheguo County in a mighty manner.

After a day of march, the army camped outside the first supply station set up by Xun Yu. Han Zhan stood on a hillside with Rob and a few cavalrymen, looking at the continuous camp tents, and felt as if he was in a dream. A few months ago, when he came to Shiguo County, he only brought more than 200 people. Now there are 5,000 soldiers to fight, not counting the civilians who transported food, grass and supplies sent by Xun Yu and his 6th association.

When Rob saw that Han Zhan seemed to be in a good mood, he asked carefully: "Is there a chance of winning when we go out here?"

Han Zhan grinned at Rob and asked back: "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

Rob was stunned at first, then said with a smile: "I want to hear the truth and lies of the little ones."

Han Zhan looked around and saw that the cavalry closest to them were all ten steps away. Compared to not hearing their conversation, he said boldly: "The lies are that our military advisor is famous. The counties along the way have turned against each other and will win this battle. As for the truth, we have no chance of winning." After saying that, he turned his horse, went down the hillside, and ran towards the camp.

Seeing that Han Zhan was about to return to the camp, Rob hurriedly called on the cavalry standing around to follow him.

The so-called central army tent has been set up, and Guo Jia and Xun You are sitting in the tent chatting. Seeing Han Zhan coming in from outside, he quickly got up and saluted him.

After sitting down behind the table in the middle, Han Zhan looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, according to the marching of our army, you can leave Taihang and enter the plains in up to three days. I wonder what you have to say?"

"Encourt," Guo Jia bowed to Han Zhan and said politely: "I don't know how confident I can defeat Yuan."

A few months ago, Guo Jia made a bet with Han Zhan that if someone started a war with Yuan Shao this year, he would be willing to regard Han Zhan as his lord. But at this moment he still only called Han Zhan "the envoy" rather than "the lord", saying that he was not willing to surrender to Han Zhan. His problem also includes some of the elements of taking the school exam.

"To be honest, I am really not sure to defeat the Yuan family." Han Zhan did not think of evading the two famous strategists in the Three Kingdoms in front of him, but said truthfully: "Even if the counties along the way turn against each other, our strength is still quite insufficient compared to the Yuan family."

Seeing that Han Zhan admitted frankly that his strength was not as good as others, Guo Jia nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Han Zhan was quite self-aware. Guo Jia felt that before he helped him out, he should understand his abilities so as to decide whether to help him sincerely: "I dare to ask the envoy, I wonder what you have to do to respond to the enemy?"

"For us, the enemy's enemies are friends." Han Zhan said confidently: "Although we were enemies with Gongsun Zan in the past, now we have a common enemy - Yuan Shao. If I send someone to contact Gongsun Zan and let him attack Yuan Shao with me, he would probably agree happily."

Han Zhan's words made Guo Jia feel quite fresh. After he carefully recalled it, he felt that it was indeed very reasonable, so he nodded and said, "What the envoy said is very true. We should send an envoy immediately to contact Gongsun Zan and ask him to attack Yuan Shao together. In this way, our chances of victory will be greatly increased."

"What Fengxiao said is very true." Xun You echoed: "Don't look at the fact that when the Yuan family entered Jizhou, there were only 20,000 troops. After the integration in the past few months, the military and civilians loyal to the Yuan family were at least 50,000, ten times more than me. If we were alone, let alone defeating the Yuan family, it was an unknown whether we could escape unstoppable."

Han Zhan unfolded the scroll of the map on the table, pointed to Wu'an, the first county town after leaving Taihang, and said to Xun You: "My cousin, according to Geng Changshi's letter, Wu'an Ling was the old subordinate of his father and was unwilling to submit to the Yuan family. We must contact him as soon as possible so that after leaving Taihang, we have a foothold."

"In addition to Wu'an Order, there are also prefects in Tantai, Quliang and Guangping, and they are also old subordinates of the Han family." Xun You pointed to the map and reminded Han Zhan: "Especially Guangping, as long as we seize this place, it will be only fifty miles away from Jizhou City. The army can reach the city of Jizhou in only half a day. Envoy, do you think we need to send people to contact these prefects too?"

Han Zhan naturally agreed with Xun You's proposal: "That's right, Gongda's cousin is right. As long as we contact these prefects and county magistrates in advance, they will open the door and surrender as soon as our army arrives, so that we may be able to arrive in Jizhou without bloodshed."

After a stick of incense, Xun You had already written the letters to Han Zhan to read, including Gongsun Zan and many prefects and county magistrates. Han Zhan took the letter and read it in one look at the ten lines, and handed it back to Xun You again, and ordered: "Send the fast horse immediately to send the letter."

The soldiers who were building the camp suddenly heard a burst of rapid horse hooves. When they looked up, they saw a cavalry rushing out of the camp like arrows and heading east along the official road. Before the soldiers could continue to work, the sound of horse hooves came again. Everyone was surprised to find that more than ten cavalry rush out of the camp one after another and headed east along the official road.

"What happened?" the soldiers couldn't help but whisper: "These people don't dress like sting horses, why do they all go east?"

Seeing that the soldiers were not working, but stood there and were talking, the nearby officers shouted: "What are you still standing there? Why don't you set up a tent? I warn you that no one is allowed to have supper before the camp is finished." The officer's last words immediately made the soldiers shut up and obediently continued the work that they had not completed.
