45. Yuan Shao in Jizhou

Xu You walked into the conference hall and bowed to Han Fu who was sitting in the main seat and said, "Mr. Zhou Mu, my lord sent me to send you a letter!"

After saying that, Xu You took out the letter from his arms and bowed to him. The guard next to him took it with both hands and placed it on Han Fu's desk. Han Fu did not read the letter, but looked at Xu You and said, "Xu Ziyuan, Nanyang, I know you! Let me tell you what happened to come here today?"

Xu You replied in a humble and arrogant manner: "Mr. Zhou Mu, please read the letter before you can say it."

Han Fu looked at Xu You suspiciously, opened Yuan Shao's letter and read it. Fortunately, when he didn't read it, Han Fu frowned. He didn't expect that Yuan Shao actually proposed to manage Jizhou for him in the letter.

Although he was angry, Han Fu was not angry. As a subordinate of Yuan, he had a thought that should be like this. In addition to the guards in the hall, there were only Han Fu, Xun Chen, Ju Su and Xu You. The other three saw Han Fu's face change on the main seat and knew that he was making a decision in his heart at this moment. The only unaware of Ju Su suddenly said, "Lord, what did Yuan Taishouxin write?"

"This...you both of you can take a look!" Han Fu hesitated for a moment and gave the letter to Ju Su. Ju Su quickly finished reading it and then passed it to Xun Chen. Xun Chen had already known the content of the letter, but at this moment he still pretended to read it again, and then handed it to the guards, who placed it on Han Fu's desk again.

Han Fu looked at the two plotters and asked, "What do you think?"

Ju Su immediately spoke, "Although Jizhou is small, there are millions of people who can wear armor and have enough food to support ten years. Yuan Shao took my breath with an outsider and a poor army, like a baby in the palm of an adult. If he doesn't feed him, he can starve him to death immediately. Why give him Jizhou?"

"Cough!" Xun Chen coughed lightly and said, "Although Mr. Ju said it well, his military power is now scattered to various counties. How many soldiers can the governor of the state have? In addition, Gongsun Zan is attacking Zhongshan Kingdom. If someone allows him to capture Wuji City, there will be no danger in the hinterland of Jizhou. Although Yuan Shao is an outsider, he has many virtuous ministers and generals under him. If he goes to fight, he will defeat Gongsun Zan to protect Jizhou!"

After hearing this, Ju Su opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. After hearing Xun Chen's words, Han Fu nodded in praise, thinking to himself: "This Jizhou is remembered by Gongsun Zan, and there is also the threat of black bandits on Taihang Mountain. At this time, it's like a hot potato. Since Yuan Shao intends to take over it, why not? He was the official in the past. Although he had been killed by Dong Zhuo, favors are favors, and I am still in the Yuan family at this moment."

Thinking of this, Han Fu's eyes became firmer, and he said to Xu You: "Since Yuan Shao is interested in Jizhou, I can give the governor of the state to him. But I want him to guarantee the interests of my Han clan in Jizhou!"

"Mr. Zhou Mu, this matter is easy! When I was traveling, my lord had already explained that if Master Zhou Mu was willing to give Jizhou, then the Han clan's status in Jizhou will be as usual! The houses and land are maintained in their original state!" Xu You said with a smile.

"Very good! You reply to Yuan Shao immediately and ask him to come to Yecheng to see me. I still need to listen to his personal promise. At that time, I will hand over the seal of the governor of the state in person." Han Fu stared at Xu You and said.

Xu You responded, then bowed to the ground, and then retreated. Ju Su looked at Han Fu and sighed and stood up to say goodbye. Han Fu also felt bored and waved his hand to signal that he could leave. Ju Su left the provincial muslim mansion, turned around and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar door, and had already made a decision in his heart.

Yuan Shao finally waited for Xu You's news, letting him know that Han Fu agreed to make Jizhou extremely happy and immediately walked to Yecheng. As a result, he was stopped by Feng Ji, who said, "The lord Jizhou is already in the lord's bag at this time. There is something to be solved before going to Yecheng."

"What's the matter?" Yuan Shao said in confusion.

"The lord Gongsun Zan is besieging Wuji City at this time. If Wuji City is down, Zhongshan Kingdom will not exist. The lord should arrange someone to support Wuji City, and only then will he hold Gongsun Zan down." Feng Ji explained.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded, and then summoned two of his generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou. When they arrived, Yuan Shao said to them: "Gongsun Zan is leading troops to attack Wuji City at this moment. I will order you and two of them to immediately lead 20,000 troops to support Wuji City. Guo Tu is the military advisor to the army. You and the two of you must make sure that Wuji City will not be lost before I arrive."

Yan Liang and Wen Chou immediately clasped their fists and said in unison: "Lord, General!" After that, they turned around and went to the army to reorganize. Guo Tu also stood up and said goodbye at this time, went home to settle down and then went to war with the two of them.

After Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he began to prepare for his trip to Yecheng. He left his eldest son Yuan Tan to guard Bohai Shen Pei and assist him, and then he took Feng Ji and his third son Yuan Shang to travel to Yecheng. Yuan Shao's third son Yuan Shang was only sixteen years old at this time, but his intelligence and cleverness were deeply loved by Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao insisted on taking him to Yecheng with him.

There was nothing to say all the way, and Yuan Shao rushed to Yecheng on the same day. After entering the city, he went straight to the provincial governor's mansion without rest. At this time, Han Fu was waiting in the provincial governor's mansion. After Yuan Shao came, the two of them had a secret conversation for a long time. In the end, Han Fu handed over the seal representing the Jizhou governor to Yuan Shao, and he himself took his guards to leave Yecheng and went to the manor outside the city.

At this point, Yuan Shao completed the transformation from the prefect of Bohai to the governor of Jizhou, and the rest was that the court needed to recognize it. However, under Dong Zhuo's control, Yuan Shao asked his subordinate Chen Lin to write a memorial to the court, and then he no longer paid attention to the matter. He had just taken over Jizhou and there were too many things to deal with. However, because it was a peaceful transition, Yuan Shao took over all the troops under Han Fu very smoothly, but there were two people missing.

The few were not others, Ju Su and Zhang He. It turned out that after seeing Han Fu give up Jizhou that day, Ju Su was a little discouraged. At this time, he remembered the letter from his friend Tian Feng, "Maybe Liu Bei is also a good choice." Thinking of this, he privately contacted Zhang He in the army. Zhang He had served under Ju Su, so Ju Su knew him very well. At this time, Zhang He had not yet revealed his head and feet, so he was relatively down. Ju Su bluntly said that he wanted to join Liu Bei. Zhang He agreed happily after hearing this. So he withdrew from the army, joined Ju Su's family, who pretended to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and came to Nanpi City.

Han Fei has been idle recently, and the letter of help from Beihai City has not arrived yet. In addition, because Jia Xu and Tian Feng are very capable, Han Fei has been in a state of doing nothing. Today, he came out of the prefect's mansion and came to Cai Yan's house again.

Liu Bei knew that Cai Yan was Cai Zhonglang's daughter, so when he arrived in Nanpi City, he gave her a mansion, and it was only a street away from Han Fei's home. Since Han Fei heard Cai Yan play the piano in the military camp that day, he always came to the mansion to borrow books and return books to find Cai Yan to listen to the piano.
