I practiced magic in the Three Kingdoms

Zhu Han immediately ordered someone to bring a pile of prepared bamboo slips. There were hundreds of cases in total, all involving Han Fu's son. It was obvious that Zhu Han was well prepared to take revenge on Han Fu.

Looking at the "mountains" of case files in front of him, Han Fu's face trembled and his beard almost exploded with anger.

He has deeply experienced what it means that "a phoenix that has fallen to the ground is no better than a chicken". Thinking about these "trivial matters" in the past, who would dare to talk about them in front of him?

As for the character of his good-for-nothing son, Han Fu naturally knew it clearly.

Although he is not a good person and has done some things like bullying men and women, at most only one-fifth of these cases are true, and the rest are simply framed by Zhu Han.

In fact, it was indeed Zhu Han's method of framing others. He simply pushed a large number of unsolved cases that could not be found or were difficult to handle onto Han Fu's son.

Soon, Han Fu's son was dragged from the back hall to the yard by two soldiers and thrown heavily in front of Zhu Han.

Han Fu looked down from upstairs, his eyes red with anxiety: "If you have any tricks, just come at me, don't touch my son!"

The father is the son. Han Fu himself is a coward, and his son is also a coward. After seeing Zhu Han and the ferocious soldiers around Zhu Han, he was scared to death on the spot: "Father, save me!"

"Come here, break both of Han Xiaolangjun's legs, so that he won't flee for fear of the crime."

Zhu Han let out a sinister laugh, and then gave an order that made Han Fu furious.

He wanted to break his son's legs in front of Han Fu!

"Order."

Several local soldiers in Jizhou had long been dissatisfied with Han Fu, the useless governor, especially Han Fu's son, who was arrogant and did all kinds of evil things.

Now that they have found an opportunity to settle their personal grudges, how could they miss it?
Someone immediately found a few wooden sticks and hit Han Fu's son's legs twice, breaking them on the spot. The sound of broken bones made people's scalp numb.

Han Fu's son was spoiled and pampered, how could he bear such suffering?

The whole person fainted from the pain, and his legs were bent at a strange angle. The tragic scene was truly horrifying.

"Hahaha, let's stop here for today."

Zhu Han was very pleased, and then he glanced at Han Fu with a smug look and contempt: "Han Wenjie, we have a long way to go. There will be plenty of time and opportunities in the future. I will slowly kill you."

After saying this vicious remark, Zhu Han led a large group of people away from the Han family mansion.

Han Fu had a dejected expression, and he collapsed to the ground as if his whole body had been pulled to the bones.

The housekeeper was terrified and rushed forward to help Han Fu up from the ground: "Master, you need to cheer up, Master?"

Han Fu then managed to stand up, and urged the housekeeper: "You old slave, why are you still standing there? Go to the city and find a famous doctor to treat Ming's injury. Go!"

The housekeeper quickly agreed: "Yes, I'll do it right away."

Zhu Han had beaten his son so hard that he almost crippled him. Han Fu was both angry and sad after this incident. He wanted to kill the traitor Zhu Han to vent his anger, but he was also afraid that Yuan Shao would use this incident to punish him.

Think about it, when I was still the governor of Jizhou, who would dare to let me suffer such humiliation?

Now that power has fallen into someone else's hands, what's the use of getting the honorary title of General Fenwei?

When Han Fu thought of Zhu Han's arrogant face when he left just now, he clenched his fists, and anger burned in his chest as if it wanted to boil his blood.

"Lord!"

Geng Wu pulled Min Chun and Li Li to appear beside Han Fu. They all changed into servants' coarse linen clothes, looking a little strange.

"Why don't you leave yet?"

Han Fu was helped up, but he still felt a little sore and weak, and his spirit was even more depressed: "Alas, I believe you all witnessed what happened just now?"

Han Fu's words were weak, but the coldness hidden in them made people feel cold.

You can’t bully honest people like this!
Han Fu was willing to give up the position of governor in order to protect his life and property. He did not think too much about it. He just hoped to be a rich man with no worries about food and drink in the future and live the rest of his life in peace and stability.

But now, a small fry whom he had never taken seriously dared to come to his door openly and broke his son's legs in front of him.

Han Fu couldn't swallow this anger no matter what.

In other words, if the entire Jizhou was connected and no one could threaten Yuan Shao's position, Han Fu might really swallow his anger and consider himself unlucky.

But now, the news brought by Geng Wu and the other two gave him other options, and also made him rethink the idea he had originally said no to.

Geng Wu and the others had naturally seen what Zhu Han had done just now. Seeing Han Fu asking about it, they took the opportunity to suggest, "My lord, Zhu Han is just a minor official, how dare he be so rude to you? According to my guess, this must have been secretly instigated by Yuan Benchu. If my lord does not resist, I am afraid that even his life and property will be in danger."

"Yuan Benchu, I have already handed over Jizhou to you, why are you still afraid to let the Han family go? Don't blame me for being unjust if you are unkind. If I don't take revenge, I am unworthy of being a father!"

Han Fu's eyes became colder and colder, and the anger and murderous intent in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Yuan Shao might know what Zhu Han had done, or he might not, but Han Fu no longer dared to take the risk.

Today, Zhu Han dared to come and break his son's legs. Who knows if he would dare to chop off his head tomorrow?
Han Fu dared not entrust his life and property to Yuan Shao's character anymore. Otherwise, if a few more "cow men" or "horse men" came, his whole family would be killed without a burial place.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Han Fu immediately made a decision and cast a determined gaze on Geng Wu: "Have you really contacted Marquis Qi?"

"Of course. If you need me, the envoy is in Yecheng and can meet with you at any time."

Seeing Han Fu's attitude change, Geng Wu was secretly happy. At this moment, he really wanted to say thank you three times to Zhu Han.

If Zhu Han hadn't come to cause trouble today, it might have been impossible to get Han Fu to change his mind and agree to participate.

As for Han Fu, he thought about Zhu Han's expression when he left, gritted his teeth and nodded, saying: "Okay, bring the person here so I can meet him."

At nightfall, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the magpies fly south.

Han Fu sat alone in the study, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, with a frown on his face.

The housekeeper came over anxiously with a bowl of ginseng soup: "Master, the young master's injury is no longer serious. The famous doctor Zhang has written a prescription for both external and internal use. You can relax and things will get better slowly."

"Well, I'm fine."

Han Fu picked up the ginseng soup and drank it slowly, then said, "You go down, I will read for a while and then go to sleep."

"Yes."

The housekeeper bent over to clean up the dishes before leaving.

Then the study became silent again, with only the flickering candlelight illuminating Han Fu's uncertain heart.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew and blew out the candlelight.

In the darkness, a tall figure appeared in front of Han Fu: "Minister Han, I heard you want to see me?"

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the study. Han Fu was frightened and nervously gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm."

The man who appeared in front of Han Fu had a face mask on his head and his entire body was covered in specially made bull hide armor. Only a pair of sharp eyes were visible, and the exquisitely crafted hundred-blade machine gun receiver behind him proved his identity as a secret guard of the Northern Army.

"Are you the secret envoy sent by Marquis Qi?"

Han Fu has not given up his guard, or rather, he is now like a frightened bird and it is difficult for him to trust anyone.

"Minister Han called me Ding San. I came to Jizhou this time to represent my master and help Minister Han regain his former glory."

Ding San is undoubtedly just a pseudonym.

However, the secret guards never reveal their real identities and names, and only use code names, so it is not considered a lie. Han Fu looked at Ding San's mask, and his doubts remained in his heart: "How can I believe that what you say is true when you are so secretive?"

Ding San smiled calmly: "Minister Han can choose to believe it or not, I don't care."

"you!"

This light-hearted answer made Han Fu extremely angry.

I can say that I have risked my life and property for this matter. Once Yuan Shao finds out, I'm afraid my entire family will be killed. Yet, the other party is so careless?
hateful!

How dare a mere spy look down on me like this!

However, Ding San obviously ignored the anger and resentment on Han Fu's face. He leaned against the door casually and said in a contemptuous tone: "Minister Han, if the mission fails, I can still leave and at most go back to get scolded. But Minister Han will lose his family's lives. You can weigh it yourself."

After saying this, Ding San took out a dagger, played with it casually, and waited for Han Fu's choice.

Han Fu was angry when he saw Ding San was so confident, but he also believed that the other party was probably sent by Wang Jing. He hesitated for a long time and finally realized: "Okay, I will believe you this time!"

In fact, Han Fu did have doubts in his heart.

He even worried that this was a sting operation by Yuan Shao.

But Ding San's nonchalant attitude made him feel a lot more at ease.

The more anxious the other party is, the more they seem like a liar.

The less anxious the other party is, the lower the possibility that this is a scam.

Thinking about his son whose leg was broken, and the precarious life he would still have to live after Yuan Shao returned, Han Fu decided to give it a try.

"How will Marquis Qi support me in regaining Jizhou?"

Han Fu looked at Ding San with burning eyes. The reason why he had the courage to stand up and resist now was not only because Zhu Han forced him too much, but more because of Wang Jing.

In Han Fu's opinion, as long as he could obtain a strong foreign aid like Wang Jing, he might have a chance to regain the throne of Jizhou Mu. At worst, he would just have to obey Wang Jing's orders in the future.

Now Wang Jing occupies two and a half states, has a strong military force and a stable position. Even if I defect to him, I will not pose any threat. Therefore, Wang Jing has no motive to kill me.

Yuan Shao was different. Yuan Shao now only had Jizhou as his territory. Han Fu was the former governor of Jizhou, and his old subordinates were still extremely restless. Under such circumstances, suspicion was inevitable.

How could Han Fu dare to gamble his family's lives on Yuan Shao's character?
Seeing that the fish had begun to bite, Ding San couldn't help but curl up his lips behind the mask: "Minister Han, my lord's army has arrived outside the city, and General Lu and Commander Zhang are approaching Jizhou. As long as you raise the banner of rebellion, Yecheng will change its flag and Jizhou will once again be under your rule."

The two powerful generals, Lu Bu and Zhang Fei, were indeed harassing various counties in Jizhou, and they came and went like the wind, making Yan Liang exhausted but helpless.

If not for this, with heavy troops stationed in the city, Han Fu would not dare to start a rebellion even if he had ten times the courage.

"Why is Lord Qi willing to help me?"

Han Fu stared at Ding San and began to wonder about Wang Jing's motives.

In this world, there is no love without reason and no free lunch.

Everything has a price, but Han Fu was unwilling to be just Wang Jing's puppet, so he still wanted to bargain.

Ding San saw through Han Fu's thoughts at a glance and said immediately: "Before coming, my master has personally written a secret agreement. If Minister Han wants to know, he can read it himself."

After saying that, Ding San took out a scroll sealed with silk cloth and spread it out in front of Han Fu.

The extinguished candle was relit. Han Fu took the secret agreement and read it word by word very carefully. It took him half an hour to ponder the contents of the secret agreement word by word and confirmed that there were no textual traps or loopholes in the treaty.

"Is Marquis Qi's request really that simple?"

Han Fu showed an expression of disbelief.

It was really that the conditions proposed by Wang Jing in the secret agreement were too favorable for him. Even his own father would not treat his son like this.

It was agreed that after the success, Han Fu, in addition to recognizing the rule of the imperial court as the governor of Jizhou, only needed to open up trade routes and allow goods from the four counties of Bingzhou, Yanzhou and Luoyang to be sold to Jizhou.

Of course, Jizhou also needed to pay taxes to the imperial court.

The most difficult task was to implement the new policy and conduct an inventory of the land.

This matter would obviously offend a large number of Jizhou noble families and local powerful families.

But would Han Fu care about this?
If these noble families and powerful clans had not secretly supported Yuan Shao and attracted Gongsun Zan's covetousness, how could such a large Jizhou be handed over to others so easily?
After this incident, Han Fu was extremely disappointed with the aristocratic families in Jizhou and wished they would all die.

Now that Wang Jing wants Han Fu to lead the implementation of the new policy, not only will he not stop it, but he is so happy that he wants to applaud and praise him. Isn't it wonderful to take revenge in accordance with the emperor's order?
Ding San did not explain too much to Han Fu's question: "Minister Han, my master is magnanimous, how can he be compared with Yuan Benchu? As long as you, Minister Han, obey the court's orders and are willing to help my master implement the new policy, other problems are just details."

Han Fu felt relieved only after getting Ding San's affirmative answer.

Han Fu even made up his mind that as long as Wang Jing didn't go too far, he would keep this support.

"Okay, then next, we should discuss how to capture Yecheng."

Han Fu clenched his fists. After the twists and turns during this period, he now knew clearly how depressing life was after losing power.

Now that he had the chance to ascend the post of governor again, he was so excited that he wanted to lead his army to attack Yuan Shao immediately.

Ding San instructed Han Fu to stay calm: "Yuan Shao's 20,000 troops are still stationed in Yecheng. If Han Shangshu wants to overthrow Yuan Shao's rule over Jizhou, he must not act rashly at this time."

Han Fu agreed: "Then I will go and gather my old subordinates first."

Ding San nodded: "Go ahead, I will also contact my master in secret, and when the time comes, we can do something big."

The next day at noon, in Changyi, Yanzhou.

While Wang Jing was having lunch, he received a pigeon message from Ding San, in which he learned that Han Fu was willing to turn against them.

"Han Fu actually dared to rebel? It's really not easy."

In history, Han Fu was an envoy sent by Yuan Shao. He was so scared that he hid in the toilet and committed suicide with a knife.

To be able to persuade such a coward to rise up in rebellion, there is no doubt that Ding San did a lot of things behind the scenes.

Han Fu didn't know that the reason why Zhu Han attacked him so quickly was because Ding Sanzai was secretly helping him.

Guo Jia also finished reading the secret letter and couldn't help but sigh: "Han Wenjie has no ambition. If he hadn't been forced to the point of desperation, he would not have dared to resist Yuan Shao. But now it's a different time. Now our army has almost taken over the entire Yanzhou, and even sent cavalry to harass Jizhou, leaving Yuan Shao with no time to take care of himself. I think under this situation, even Han Wenjie would probably be unable to resist and want to take back the position of governor."

Xun You smiled and said, "Feng Xiao is right. Han Wenjie may be a coward, but even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered. It doesn't matter whether Yuan Shao wants to attack him or not. What matters is that we just need to make Han Wenjie think that Yuan Shao will attack him. When the monarch and his ministers are suspicious of each other, outsiders will take advantage of it."

This matter was secretly pushed by Xun You and Guo Jia behind the scenes, and the development of things was just as they expected.

In the small study, Wang Jing, Xun You and Guo Jia began to deduce the subsequent plan, intending to formally intervene in the civil strife in Jizhou and support Han Fu and Yuan Shao in their fight.

If successful, Yuan Shao's retreat would be cut off, his base camp would be lost, and he would end up losing despite winning.

It should be noted that Yecheng is the seat of Jizhou. In terms of population and economy, it even surpasses the capital Luoyang and is the largest city in the world.

As long as this city is captured, all of Yuan Shao’s plans in Jizhou will fail.

Even if he finally recaptured it, Yecheng would inevitably suffer severe damage under the fierce flames of war, losing a large number of people and wealth. After the buildings were destroyed, Yuan Shao would have to spend money to repair them himself.

That was why Wang Jing conspired with Guo Jia and Xun You on this matter. Even as early as a year and a half ago, Wang Jing had already sent a group of secret guards to lurk in Yecheng, which could be said to be a precautionary measure.

Even Guo Jia, a genius, felt that Wang Jing's move was a brilliant one: "Yuan Benchu ​​is going to be in trouble now. I hope he's okay."

Wang Jing also smiled and looked at Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, what do you think Han Wenjie's chances of winning are? Or does he need the Northern Army to send out a large force to help him fight against Yuan Shao?"

Guo Jia shook his head calmly when he heard this: "It is so easy to seize Jizhou. I think our army does not need to mobilize a single soldier." (End of this chapter)
