Chapter 407: Returning in vain

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Can was wearing a black robe and armor, kneeling on the seat. He rested his right hand on his knee and pressed the hilt of his knife with his left hand, looking solemn and intimidating.

Outside the big tent, the sound of slow footsteps came from far and near, and after a while, a fifty-year-old man walked in.

This old man was wearing a black brocade robe, with a fluttering coat and a solemn expression, but he showed a fluttering and indifferent taste, like a hermit living in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

The old man was long and thin, and his eyes were deep and vast, and he was bright.

When I walked into the big tent, I was swaggering, solemn and serious, showing everyone's demeanor. After the old man walked in, he stood upright, his eyes were level with Wang Can, and there was no stage fright. did not bow down to Wang Can because this was Wang Can's territory, and tried his best to flatter, but was neither humble nor arrogant, and Wang Can was on an equal footing, or even slightly taller.

"Yizhou envoy Ren An, meet Wang Taishou." The old man put his hands together and arched his hands to signify establishment, but did not bend down to meet him.

As soon as he came up, Ren An gave Wang Can a dismount.

Ren An?

Wang Can recalled carefully, and there was no news about Ren An.

He saw Ren Anli but didn't bend down, and immediately smiled, this old man is interesting and arrogant. Wang Can's knife-like gaze fell on Ren An, and he looked at Ren An carefully. At the same time, Ren An's calm and benevolent gaze fell on Wang Can, and he was also looking at Wang Can. The expressions and movements of the two fell into the eyes of Guo Jia and Xun You next to them, which belonged to dry staring.

In the big tent, except for Xun You and Guo Jia, there was no one else.

"This old man is good, just this bearing is extraordinary, it seems that Zhao Wei is not simple, he actually dug out a talent." Wang Can saw that Ren An Bafeng did not move, and secretly praised in his heart.

"What a hero!"

When Wang Can praised Ren An, Ren An saw that Wang Can was sitting in a precarious position, his face was angular and angular, and he invisibly revealed a majesty, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart.

Wang Can praised Ren An in his heart, but he didn't show it. On the contrary, Wang Can's face sank, his expression was cold, and he shouted loudly: "Ren An, since you are an envoy of Yizhou, representing the envoy of Yizhou, when you see Ben Taishou, why are you arrogant and rude, and even salute so unruly, could it be that the people of Yizhou are all madmen like you?" ”

Ren An stroked his beard, his expression was unwavering, and he said lightly: "Wang Taishou's words are absurd, Wang Taishou, as the Taishou of Hanzhong, is an official under the command of Yizhou Mu. The old man as a Yizhou pastoral envoy, on behalf of the Yizhou pastor, the status is higher than Wang Taishou, the status of the two sides is not equal, the old man bowed to Wang Taishou, it is already benevolent and righteous, how can it be rude. This is like the court envoy to the small country of Fanbang, has Wang Taishou seen the court envoy bow to the small country of Fanbang? ”

After finishing speaking, Ren An flicked his sleeves, revealing a look of shame and companionship.

That indignant look made Guo Jia and Xun You both change their faces.

Yizhou Wenchen is not a military general, but he found an old man with sharp teeth out of nowhere, which is really amazing. Guo Jia stretched out his hand and stabbed Xun You, and asked in a low voice: "Gongda, this old man has rules and manners in his speech and demeanor, and he speaks calmly. It seems that even if you asked the main guild so early, you have seen a lot of knowledge and know many people, have you ever heard of Ren An's name? ”

Xun You frowned and said, "I am a little impressed, but not profound, I can't remember clearly." ”

Guo Jia sighed and shook his head slightly.

At this time, Wang Can can only rely on himself to deal with it.

Wang Can listened to Ren An's words, and laughed instead of being angry, now that Yizhou is in turmoil, how can he have the capital to compete with him? Moreover, Wang Can also got news from the spies lurking in Chengdu that Liu Yan was dead.

As soon as Liu Yan died, the situation in Chengdu was critical. Even if Zhao Wei presides over the overall situation, it will be difficult to recover the situation. Wang Can didn't feel much use for Liu Yan's death, because he had already led his troops south, and the troops were in Chengdu, and he didn't need the influence of public opinion, and now he relied on his own strength to capture Chengdu.

Wang Can said with a smile: "Mr. Ren's sharp teeth and sharp mouth make Wang Can admire." ”

Ren An didn't think about it, and immediately retorted: "Wang Taishou is arrogant and arrogant, and the old man's eyes are wide open. ”

Damn, I'm so quick to react.

Wang Can scolded secretly in his heart, although the old man is old, his brain is very good. Wang Can's eyes rolled, and he said: "Mr. Ren is talented, Canfei admires, like Mr. is so talented, it is too condescending to stay in Yizhou, Can is willing to sweep the bed and wait, welcome Mr. into Hanzhong as an official, what does Mr. think?" ”

Ren An was inexplicable, and he couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Can's gourd?

However, Wang Can behaved as a corporal of Lixian, and Ren An did not chase and beat him fiercely, he said decently: "Corporal Wang Taishou Lixian, the old man is also very admired." It's a pity that the old man is an envoy of Yizhou, and he visits Wang Taishou on behalf of Yizhou Mu, how can he enter Hanzhong as an official, Wang Taishou is good, and the old man understands it. ”

These words also gave Wang Can enough face.

Wang Can sighed: "Eh, it's a pity, it's a pity! ”

After sighing, Wang Can said again: "Yizhou's civil and military generals are all wine bags and rice bags, Wu Yi, Dong He, and Fei Guang have not yet fought with me, the army was wiped out, and the three of them and the rest of the generals and colonels were also captured alive; Pang Xi, Yang Huai, and Gao Pei were killed, and the army was defeated; General Yan is brave and good at fighting, but he met Liu Yan, a person who does not understand the art of war, but fortunately surrendered to me, so there was no pearl to secretly surrender. ”

"Today, when I met Mr., I realized that I underestimated the people of Yizhou."

"Mr. is talented, Chan loves Mr. very much, and wants to invite Mr. to Hanzhong as an official, and often asks Mr. for advice or two, but he doesn't think that Mr. categorically refuses, which makes Wang Can sigh."

"But don't worry, sir!"

"Wait for Chan to lead a large army to Chengdu, and after capturing Chengdu, I will definitely go to visit Mr. and ask Mr. to come out. After Mr. returned to Chengdu, he took care of his body, did not be affected by the war, and left his useful body to wait for Chan to come to visit. ”

Wang Can's words were sincere, making Guo Jia and Xun You, who were sitting in the big tent, cover their mouths and snicker.

That's probably it.

Suddenly, Wang Can seemed to remember something, and immediately asked: "Mr. is so talented, I don't know what official position Mr. holds under Liu Yan?" ”

Ren An listened to Wang Can's words, and his face was uncertain.

Wang Can's words showed that Wang Can valued him. However, Wang Can also showed his disdain for the civil and military generals in Yizhou, and did not take the generals of Chengdu in his eyes at all.

Moreover, what Wang Can said later made Ren An, the old man, cry and laugh. He was originally an envoy to Wang Can on behalf of Yizhou to persuade Wang Can to quit the army, but Wang Can asked him to obediently go back and wait behind closed doors, waiting for Wang Can's conscription after Wang Can's army broke through Chengdu, which made the corners of Ren An's mouth twitch slightly, and he didn't know what to say?

People are kind-hearted, and they can't open their mouths to scold.

Ren An took a deep breath and replied calmly: "The old man is clothed and does not hold any official position. ”

When Wang Can heard this, he was stunned, and then asked, "Mr. is actually a cloth cloth?" ”

Ren An nodded: "That's true." ”

Wang Can frowned, and said: "Since Mr. is clothed, he has not held an official position under Liu Yan, why did he send an envoy to Hanzhong for Zhao Wei?" ”

Ren An said: "The old man was invited and had to come. ”

In fact, Ren An did not hold an official position under Liu Yan, but because of Dong Fu's invitation, he served as an envoy to Yizhou and sent Wang Can to make Wang Can quit.

The history books record: "Dong Fu, the word Mao'an, Guanghan Mianzhu people." Shaoyou is too learned, and the villager Ren An is equally famous, and he is in the same county Yang Hou. "Because Dong Fu and Ren An are brothers and both studied under Yang Hou, Ren An will let go of the days of seclusion, but he will come to be a lobbyist, otherwise Ren An's Xingzi will definitely not go out of the mountain.

In the history books, Ren An worshipped Yang Hou as his teacher in his early years, and later entered Beijing to study Taixue, and soon showed extraordinary talent, which was praised and respected by teachers and students of Taixue.

After graduating from Taixue, Ren An returned to Mianzhu.

During this period, Ren An successively agreed to the invitation of the county Taishou to be the county gong cao (the assistant of the Taishou), and benefited from the recruitment of the state assassin history to be the middle of the governance (the assistant of the state assassin history, in charge of the clerical file). However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the government was dark and poured into each other, and Ren An couldn't stand the deception of the government, so he soon abandoned the official and returned to his hometown, and lived in seclusion to teach the Mianzhu cultists.

Later, Ren An was recommended as the choice of filial piety and honesty Maocai (the name of the official subject for the election of officials in the Han Dynasty), and he was also valued by Ren An's talent as a lieutenant of the imperial court, recruited him to be an official in the imperial court, served as a doctor, and sent buses to pick him up several times. However, Ren Andu refused all on the grounds that he was sick and could not be appointed, and did not become an official.

When Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yan served as the pastor of Yizhou, and Qin Mi, a famous scholar in Shu, recommended Ren An to Liu Yan. After Liu Yan learned about Ren An, he also attached great importance to it, and wrote to Emperor Liu Hong, hoping that the emperor could reuse Ren An.

Liu Yan is a member of the royal family, and his words carry a lot of weight, Liu Hong adopted Liu Yan's advice and prepared to recruit Ren An.

However, at that time, the world was in chaos, and the order of the Han Dynasty's conscription could not be sent to Mianzhu, and Ren An did not receive an order from the imperial court.

From seclusion to death, Ren An did not come out.

Wang Can didn't know Ren An's past, and if he knew, he would probably have another expression. When he heard that Ren An did not serve under Liu Yan, he immediately moved his mind.

After thinking about it, Wang Can said: "Sir, I know that you are talented, and I don't want to go around in circles with Mr. more, so I will tell you directly, Liu Yan once sent Zhang Lu to attack Hanzhong, and later sent a three-way army to attack Hanzhong, and now Liu Yan is dead, Chengdu is in danger, such an opportunity, I can't let it go." It is imperative and unstoppable for the army to attack Chengdu, if Mr. is interested, please return to Chengdu immediately, and when I break the city, I will definitely pay my respects to Mr. ”

After hearing this, Ren An shook his head slightly.

Wang Can raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I'll listen to what Zhao Wei plans to do, and Mr. will listen to it." ”

Ren An arched his hand and thanked him, and then said: "General Zhao said that as long as Wang Taishou quits the army, General Zhao is willing to bow down to Wang Taishou and pay tribute to Wang Taishou every year, and honor Wang Taishou." At the same time, with Luocheng, Mianzhuguan, and Fucheng as the boundary, all the places to the north are assigned to Wang Taishou, and they are governed by Wang Taishou. ”

Wang Can asked, "Is this the final bottom line?" ”

Ren An nodded and did not speak.

Wang Can laughed, with a sneering look on his face, and said, "Mr. Ren, Zhao Wei can't help but think too low of Wang Can, and he also wants to send Ben Taishou away at this point." Hmph, since Zhao Wei still wants to have his big dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival, you go back and tell him, let him open the city gate, wash his neck, and wait for Ben Taishou to go south and behead him. ”

"The king guards ,......"

Ren An opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Wang Can stretched out his hand to stop him.

Wang Can said: "Mr. Ren, I respect you as a talent, so there is no sword and soldier, in exchange for someone else, I directly chopped off one of his hands, so that he can return to Chengdu." You are also a wise man, go back, lest I get angry and cut off one of your hands, and it will not be good! ”

Hearing this, Ren An sighed and turned to leave.

He left directly and did not continue to speak, which was also why Wang Can valued him and made Ren An not want to continue to mess around.

After Ren An left, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Lord, you are pulling Ren An by retreating, I'm afraid Ren Anzhong has already hesitated, thinking about whether he should submit to the lord." ”

Xun You nodded and said, "What Feng Xiao said is extremely true!" ”

Wang Can smiled slightly and wooed Ren An, this was the effect he wanted.
