When Wang Can left Cai's Mansion, Cheng Yu and Gu Yong had already left, leaving only Dian Wei alone.

Next, Wang Can did not return to the palace and went to the barracks.

Wang Can summoned Shi A and talked with Shi A for half an hour before returning to the palace with Dian Wei. At the beginning of March last year, Wang Can left Chengdu with Shi A and others and sneaked into Xiangyang, and now it is May of the second year, and he has not returned for more than a year, and he misses the women at home very much.

Back in the palace, Wang Can relaxed.

At this time, the harem of the palace already has Cai Yan, Diao Chan, Dong Hui, Mi Huan, Wu Amaranth, as well as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, who arrived in Chengdu not long ago.

For seven consecutive days, Wang Can stayed in the palace.

What to do?

There is no doubt that messing with the women of the harem.

How are the short seven days allocated? Only Wang Can and those who recorded Wang Can's life are clear. During the time when Wang Can was in the harem, it was rare that no one came to disturb Wang Can, and everyone was busy with their own affairs. Shi A is not idle, he is always busy, and he has been investigating the assassination of Cai Yong.

On this day, Xun You came to the outside of the palace and had something important to see Wang Can.

In the palace, in the side hall.

This is where Wang Can handles official business, and after Xun You came in, he bowed to Wang Can.

Wang Can put down his pen, looked up at Xun You, and said with a smile: "Gongda, I have been away for more than a year, leading the troops outside, and you are all in charge of the domestic military affairs, which is hard work." ”

Xun You bowed down and said: "The lord praises, and the minister is ashamed." ”、

Wang Can changed the topic, returned to the topic, and asked, "What is the matter when you enter the palace to see me?" ”

Xun You put away his humble expression and said solemnly: "The minister hurriedly met the lord for the major events of Shu Kingdom. Late yesterday night, businessman Hu Bo quietly went to meet outside the minister's mansion and reported a major event. This matter is related to the decisive battle between Shu and Wei, and the minister does not dare to make an arbitrary decision, so he came to meet the lord and ask the lord to decide. ”

"Hu Bo?"

Wang Can thought for a while, with a clear look on his face, and said, "Hu Bo has always existed as a businessman, and almost no one knows that he is our person. Now that he has moved into the palace, it is not easy for Hu Bo to be seen as a businessman when he enters the palace, so it seems that Hu Bo's identity has to be solved and let him work diligently. ”

Xun You hugged his fists and said: "The lord is wise, even if Hu Bo can't reveal his identity, he will definitely recognize the lord more." ”

Wang Can asked, "Gongda, how do you think it should be appointed?" ”

Xun You replied: "My lord, since Hu Bo is a businessman, simply let Hu Bo take a temporary post in the household department and exist as an official and businessman of Shu State." Now that the war is imminent, Hu Bo's identity cannot be exposed, but he can get the support of the lord, and Hu Bo's identity is not embarrassing or embarrassing, and he will definitely be more loyal to the lord. ”

Hu Bo has always been loyal to Wang Can, but he has no identity, and he has always been on the periphery. said that Hu Bo was a person under Wang Can, but he had no official position; said no, but he was loyal to Wang Can.

Wang Can nodded and said, "Hu Bo's affairs, just do what you say." ”

After a pause, Wang Can asked, "What did Hu Bo report?" ”

Xun You said in a deep voice: "Hu Bo reported that the people planted by Cao Cao in Chengdu contacted the merchants of Yizhou, and wanted these merchants to take the risk of selling Han swords, and even wanted to take away the craftsmen who forged weapons. Even, Cao Cao was still fighting the idea of gunpowder and ballista, but the gunpowder and giant ballista were heavily defended and could not get close, so they retreated to the next best thing, mainly trying to get a Han sword. ”

Wang Can said: "From this point of view, Cao Cao is ready to fight to the death with our army, otherwise he will not be in a hurry to buy weapons, it seems that Cao Cao is not in a hurry." ”

Xun You Zhengse said: "Cao Cao is actively recruiting troops and collecting grain, and he must be planning a decisive battle." ”

Wang Can rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Since Cao Cao wants to buy weapons, we will treat him well and let Cao Cao know our enthusiasm." Gongda, you tell Hu Bo,......,Hmph, since Cao Cao is rich, what are we afraid of?" The corners of Wang Can's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and it was still good to pit Cao Cao.

"No!!"

Xun You surrendered his hands and prepared to implement the plan according to Wang Can's plan.

An attendant hurriedly ran over, bowed down and said, "King Qishu, Shi A is waiting outside the palace." ”

"Let him in."

Wang Can raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed joy, it seemed that Shi A had found a clue.

Although Wang Can has been staying in the harem since returning to Chengdu, he is worried about the assassination of Cai Yong. Xun You saw Shi Ayu report the matter, stood up, and prepared to leave. Wang Can waved his hand and said: "Gongda, don't be in a hurry to leave, the matter reported by Shi Ah is likely to be related to Cao Cao, and the two things are mixed together, and there may be a connection." ”

Xun You returned to his seat and sat down, waiting for Shi A to come in.

After a while, Shi Ah strode in.

Shi Ah Chao Wang Can bowed and said, "Lord, the matter of the assassination of Mr. Cai and the eldest son has been investigated clearly. The initiator of the assassination was none other than Cao Cao's people in Chengdu. Not only that, but the people Cao Cao installed in Chengdu also had two big fish, which were the main advisers under Cao Cao. ”

Wang Can frowned, and said coldly: "After more than a year of expedition, Chengdu has undergone great changes." ”

A year ago, there were people installed by Cao Cao in Chengdu, but there were no important advisers of Cao Cao. Cao Cao didn't see Wang Can, he was arrogant enough, he really thought he could escape the investigation?

Thinking of Cao Cao's strategists in Chengdu, a trace of coldness flashed in Wang Can's eyes.

Since you're here, don't go.

Xun You was anxious in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Sword Master Shi, which two people did Cao Cao place?" ”

Shi A 1510 said: "One of them is named Hua Xin, who is a councillor under Cao Cao, a famous Confucian at that time, and is deeply valued by Cao Cao; The other person is named Fu Zhu, who used to be Yuan Shao's advisor, with outstanding intelligence, and Tian Feng is a good friend, and in the Guandu War, Fu Zhu was captured, and later became Cao Cao's adviser. ”

"Hua Xin and Fu Zhu sat in Chengdu and commanded Cao Cao to install people in Chengdu"

"The two are very cunning, setting up many people to cover up, and sometimes even one-way contact. It can only be the people who do things below that they inform, and most people don't know about the existence of Fu Zhu and Hua Xin. ”

Shi A showed a happy look in his eyes, and said: "I was able to track down Fu Zhu and Hua Xin, but the two of them sent someone to contact the merchant to buy weapons, so they showed their feet. Hu Bo controlled most of the merchants in Chengdu, and the purchase of weapons was not hidden from Hu Bo, so we traced Hua Xin and Fu Zhu through the merchants who followed the vine and found out the melons. ”

Xun You's eyes widened and said, "Cao Cao actually sent Fu Zhu and Hua Xin out, I didn't expect it!" ”

Obviously, Xun You knew about these two people.

Wang Can also had a little impression of Hua Xin and Fu Zhu. In history, there was a matter of cutting off diplomatic relations, which was the matter of Hua Xin and Guan Ning. As for this person, he was a wise man under Yuan Shao, but he didn't expect to be sent to Chengdu by Cao Cao. Fu Zhu and Tian Feng are close friends, and they can ponder it.

Shi A said: "Hua Xin and Fu Zhu were found out, did they arrest the two immediately. ”

Wang Can gradually had an idea in his heart, shook his head and said, "You can't catch it, how can you trap Cao Cao if you catch it?" You send people to arrest the people who participated in the assassination of the teacher, and arrest the small boss that Cao Cao installed in Chengdu, but you can't involve Fu Zhu and Hua Xin, so that the two of them think that you have failed to track them down, and let them stay. ”

Shi Ah was puzzled, but agreed.

Wang Can looked at Xun You and said, "Gongda, about the matter between Fu Zhu and Hua Xin, you can talk to Shi A and exchange opinions." After you and Shi Ah left, immediately find Hu Bo and ask him to prepare for action. ”

"No!"

Xun You agreed.

Next, Wang Can talked to the two for a while before letting Shi A and Xun You leave.

Xun You smiled and said, "Sword Master, can you go to the house to talk about it." ”

Shi Ah hugged his fists and said: "It is Shi A's blessing to be favored by Lord Xun, Lord Xun, please." Leaving the palace, the two of them spoke their minds and discussed strategies to deal with Hua Xin and Fu Zhi.

"Wheels! Wheel! ”

The carriage drove and the two talked in the carriage.

In the carriage, from time to time there was a burst of hearty laughter, wanton and very happy. Cao Cao let people act recklessly in Chengdu and openly assassinated Cai Yong, which made Xun You and Shi Ah both hold their breath.

Now that I have the opportunity to pit Cao Cao, I feel very comfortable in my heart and can't miss it.
