Although Xu Shu was Wang Can's advisor, he did not stay in Chengdu. (）

After he returned to Wang Can, he held an official position outside for more than two years, first as a county commander, and then as the county guard of Qiqi County, and has been an official outside, so he doesn't know much about Jia Xu and Li Ru.

Gan Ning has been rampant on the Yangtze River all the year round, although he is a general under Wang Can, he does not know Jia Xu and Li Ru.

The two of them were very worried when they got the news of Jia Xu and Li Ru's successive defeats.

Wang Can's decision to wait and see what happens, not only shocked Xu Shu and Gan Ning, but also Pang De and Zhang Liao were very puzzled. Zhang Liao used to be a junior general under Dong Zhuo, but after all, he was a small boss and did not live in Dong Zhuo's core, so Zhang Liao didn't know much about Jia Xu and Li Ru, just on the surface.

Among all of them, only Lu Meng had the most contact with Li Ru and Jia Xu.

He also had some doubts in his heart, because with the ability of Jia Xu and Li Ru, it was impossible to defeat again and again. Moreover, even if Jia Xu and Li Ru have problems, Huang Zhong and Xu Rong are not people who do not understand the art of war, and such a situation should not occur.

But the facts are in front of him, so that Lu Meng has no way to refute.

Xu Shu said: "Lord, the situation is in danger, why do you have to wait and see what happens?" Once Yuan Shao's army enters the pass, it will immediately form a situation of joining forces with Cao Cao to flank Guo Jia and Xun You, and it will not only be Jia Xu's army that will collapse at that time, and he is willing to ask the lord to immediately support Jia Xu and save the situation! ”

Gan Ning also persuaded: "Lord, give the order!" ”

The two spoke sincerely, looking at Wang Can anxiously, but Wang Can was unmoved.

Not only that, Wang Can actually showed a faint smile on his face.

Wang Can carefully recalled the content mentioned in the letter, and became more determined in his heart to wait and see what happened. Although Wang Can was also a little apprehensive in his heart, he believed in Jia Xu and Li Ru, the ability of these two people was undoubted, absolutely powerful. Although Yuan Shao's commands are fierce generals and strategists are like rain, Yuan Shao can't, Wang Can believes that Jia Xu and Li Ru can win.

He looked at Xu Shu and said, "Yuan Zhi, you and Xingba are concerned about chaos, and sit down!" ”

Xu Shu was stubborn, and said loudly: "Please let the lord clear his doubts!" ”

Gan Ning also said loudly: "Please clarify your doubts!" ”

At this time, Zhang Liao, Pang De and Lu Meng also looked at Wang Can, with a look of expectation in their eyes. The three of them were shocked by the news of Jia Xu and Li Ru's successive defeats, and it was difficult to calm down and think for a while.

Wang Can didn't think about it, but asked with a smile: "Yuan Zhi, although the news says that Jia Xu has lost a lot, has he ever broken a general?" ”

Xu Shu thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I didn't mention it!" ”

Wang Can asked again: "After several defeats in a row, did you mention that the soldiers suffered heavy casualties?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head again and said, "I didn't mention it!" ”

Wang Can continued: "These two things are secondary, the most important thing is that the letter only mentions the news of Jia Xu and Li Ru's successive defeats to Yuan Shao, but does not mention Jia Xu and Li Ru's request for help. Once Jia Xu and Li Ru are defeated, involving the safety of Chang'an, how can the two sit idly by? It can be inferred from this that the two were not really defeated, but deliberately lost to Yuan Shao, which was a pride of the soldiers! ”

After Xu Shu listened, he thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed reasonable.

Gan Ning said: "Lord, although there is some truth, but there is no guarantee, after all, this is all conjecture, once Jia Xu and Li Ruzhen lose to Yuan Shao, Guanzhong will be in danger, why don't you send a message to ask?" ”

Wang Can shook his head and denied: "I have already put Jia Xu and Li Ru in charge of Yuan Shao's affairs, since they have not asked for help, there is no need to send a letter to ask, we will wait for the news!" ”

The words are categorical and unmistakable.

When Gan Ning and Xu Shu saw this, they didn't persuade either.

……

The north, the land of Guanzhong.

Yuan Shao's route of sending troops was from Yecheng, the seat of Jizhou, through Huguan, and then through Shangdang to the east of the river, and finally crossed the Yellow River, heading towards Gaoling to the west of the Yellow River.

Gaoling is Zuo Fengyi's administrative office, which is equivalent to the county administrative office.

Zuo Fengyi, not only the official name of the imperial court, but also the name of the administrative region of the imperial court, was one of the three auxiliaries of the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Feng Yi, and Right Fufeng were called Sanfu, that is, the area near Chang'an, the capital division, was managed separately by the three magistrates, and the status of the governor of the three auxiliaries was equivalent to that of the county guard, plus the proximity to the Jingshi, the power was even greater.

After Yuan Shao's army arrived in Gaoling, he successively attacked the army stationed in Gaoling.

It didn't take long, and the Gaoling defenders retreated directly.

Jia Xu, Li Ru and Yuan Shao's army fought many battles and kept retreating, but they could not stop the offensive of Yuan Shao's army.

With such a smooth battle, Yuan Shao was overjoyed in his heart. This is because his army has won consecutive battles and mediocre successes, while Cao Cao, Guo Jia and Xun You are in a stalemate, and Cao Cao is vaguely suppressed by Guo Jia and Xun You, on the other hand, he has gone all the way south, such a contrast makes Yuan Shao fluttering and happy in his heart.

Yuan Shao's big tent of the Chinese army has a lot of things in it.

The army went south, but Yuan Shao not only had to fight, but also to show his celebrity and gentlemanly manners, so a shelf was placed in the camp tent, with treasures and antiques, and some strange books and other items, which were deliberately placed by Yuan Shao to show people, nothing more than to show the heritage of his fourth and third dukes.

In the big tent, Yuan Shao was wearing a black robe and was sitting in a precarious position.

Below, Tian Feng, Xu You, Guo Tu, and Feng Ji sat on the left side, and Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Jaw, and Gao Lan sat on the right side.

Yuan Shao looked proud, with a smile on his face.

He smiled and said: "Cao Cao and Gu sent troops to Guanzhong together, and now Cao Cao is stagnant, and Gu led the troops south, all the way to the wind, it seems that there is no Wang Can in Guanzhong, and the military generals under his command are not good!" ”

Guo Tu smiled and said: "Our army has won many victories, thanks to the wisdom and martial arts of the lord and his proper command. Lord, the morale of the army is at its peak, the soldiers are high-spirited, it is a good time to go south to defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop, as long as we enter Chang'an first, and then go all the way south, attack Chengdu, the lord will be able to merge the state, Guanzhong, Yizhou into a piece, when the lord is mighty and the four seas, who in the world can resist the prince! ”

"Hahaha......"

Yuan Shao laughed loudly, proud in his heart.

Yuan Shao is actually a person with soft ears, likes to listen to good words, and likes other people's sycophants. He listened to Guo Tu's praise and was very happy. However, when Yuan Shao's laughter had not stopped, Tian Feng had already stood up and said loudly: "Lord, the army is in danger!" ”

In one sentence, Yuan Shao's laughter stopped abruptly.

The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth curled slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Without Tian Feng to speak, Yuan Shao knew what Tian Feng was going to say, it was definitely not a good word. But the facts are in front of you, he has won one victory after another, this is an indelible fact, what is there to doubt?

Yuan Shao asked, "Tian Feng, what do you have to say?" ”

Tian Feng hugged his fists and said: "Lord, my army is in danger!" "Tian Feng didn't say why? On the contrary, he mentioned the danger of the army, and such a straightforward and offending remark made Yuan Shao very unhappy in his heart.
