Chapter 411: Grinding Waiting

Wang Can led a large army to Chengdu and set up camp.

He did not rush to send soldiers to attack Chengdu, but practiced martial arts and drilled soldiers.

Standing on the tower of the north gate of Chengdu, you can vaguely hear the roar of the soldiers in the Hanzhong military camp. The sound was uniform, reaching into the sky, which surprised the soldiers who were patrolling and defending the tower of the north gate.

A soldier who sees the situation of the Hanzhong army may not spread the news.

However, on the city tower, the soldiers in charge of defense all saw the faintly fluttering flags in the distance, and heard the shouts of killing from the Hanzhong army, so it was impossible for them to shut up and not speak. After all, the army under Wang Can's command left too deep an impression on the Yizhou soldiers, killing Pang Xi, capturing Wu Yi, recruiting Yan Yan, and then breaking through Jiameng Pass and Mianzhu Pass, going straight down to Chengdu, all the way south, without the slightest obstruction, so that the soldiers stationed in Chengdu were afraid.

When the news reached the city, it immediately caused a panic.

After Zhao Wei got the news, he tried his best to appease the officials and the people, but he still couldn't stop the chaos.

On the second day, Zhao Wei sent a man to the Hanzhong military camp to meet Wang Can.

The envoy's name is Liu He, and it is said that the ancestor is the countless generations of great-great-grandsons of Liu Sheng, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. Although Liu He did not have a genealogy to prove his identity, he still mixed up as a petty official under Liu Yan by relying on his mouth.

Ren An went to see Wang Can and returned with a feather, which made Liu He very disdainful.

When Zhao Wei once again said that he needed someone to envoy Wang Can, Liu Hemao recommended himself and took the initiative to go to Wang Can's camp. Zhao Wei was worried that he couldn't find anyone, so Liu Hemao recommended himself, which made Zhao Wei very happy, and immediately agreed.

Liu He sat in a carriage with two soldiers beside him to protect his safety.

The carriage galloped all the way and stopped outside the Hanzhong military camp.

Liu He was wearing a brocade robe, wearing an ancient crown, and golden boots, and opened the curtain of the carriage and walked down, revealing the momentum of a royal nobleman, and his extravagance was compelling. The two soldiers beside him were also wearing armor and swords hanging from their waists, striding behind Liu He, and walked forward with their heads held high.

Liu He walked to the gate of the Hanzhong military camp, pointed to the soldiers standing at the door, and shouted: "You, immediately go and inform Wang Can, saying that Liu He, the envoy of Yizhou, has come to meet him, and let him meet him at the gate of the camp immediately." ”

When the soldier heard this, he was stunned.

Ren An, on behalf of Zhao Wei, visited Wang Can, with good words and good words, and felt good.

This young man, however, feels like a mallet and is not sensible at all.

The soldier reacted, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a sneer, and ignored Liu He. He clenched the spear in his hand, held his head high, and looked straight ahead, as if the person standing in front of him had become transparent, and there was no Liu He in his sight at all. This scene made Liu He so angry that he secretly stomped his feet, and he also despised Wang Can to the extreme in his heart.

There is a way that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Wang Can is arrogant and unreasonable, and the soldiers below are also competing to follow suit.

"Didn't you hear this envoy speak? Immediately go to inform Wang Can and let Wang Can come to greet him, otherwise he will bear the consequences. ”

Liu He thought that since he was serving as an envoy to Yizhou, he had to put the shelf on the shelf. Like Ren An, who visited Wang Can on behalf of Yizhou Mu, but grovelled and subordinated to Wang Can, he would definitely not be able to complete Zhao Wei's task. As a dignified envoy, you must have momentum and integrity, and you must suppress Wang Can in order to complete the task.

I have to say that Liu He's idea is superb and admirable.

When the soldier saw Liu He talking cheekily, he sneered in his heart, not knowing what kind of scene this mallet would be when he met Lord Taishou.

The soldier glared at Liu He and shouted, "You wait a while, I'll go and inform Lord Taishou." ”

Liu He said impatiently: "Go, go." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu He paced back and forth outside the camp with his hands behind his back, waiting for news.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Can was chatting with Guo Jia, and when the two were talking happily, the sound of soldiers visiting outside the camp tent came from outside. Wang Can looked at Guo Jia, nodded and smiled, and said, "Come in!" ”

The soldier rolled up the curtain and, entered, bowed.

Wang Can asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier bowed his head slightly and said, "Back to my lordship, a young man appeared outside the camp, he claimed to be an envoy from Yizhou, came to meet your lordship, and threatened to let your lord personally go to greet him. ”

"Oh, this person is a young man, isn't he middle-aged?"

After hearing this, Wang Can asked again.

The soldier looked resolute and said affirmatively: "My lord, there is indeed a young man outside the camp. Speaking of this, the soldier's face showed a sudden look, and he said: "I remembered my humble position, that person called himself Liu He, the envoy of Yizhou." ”

Wang Can asked again, "Is there anyone else?" ”

The soldier said, "The young man was followed by two soldiers, and there was no one else. ”

"In this way, Ren An is definitely not among them." Wang Can muttered, a playful look on his face.

Immediately, Wang Can said: "Fengxiao, when Jia Long sent an envoy to Hanzhong on behalf of Liu Yan, we boiled boiling water in the big ding outside the hall to welcome Jia Long. Now, Liu He, the envoy, is more arrogant than Jia Long and Ren An, and said that if I want to meet him in person, we will greet him well and give him a good show. ”

Guo Jia also showed a wicked smile on his face and said, "The words of the lord are very reasonable. Some people can't see the situation clearly, so they should be allowed to open their eyes and see the situation clearly. ”

"Hahaha......"

The two laughed, making the soldiers standing on the side feel cold in their hearts and shrink their heads.

Wang Can smiled and ordered: "Give you a task to drag Liu He outside the camp for at least one hour." ”

"No!"

The soldier laughed in his heart, arched his hand, and left the tent.

He ran back to the gate of the camp, and there was no one else behind him. When Liu He saw it, he was very unhappy, and before the soldiers could speak, Liu He asked with a slashed face: "Why did you come back alone, where is Wang Can, why didn't you see anyone?" I was hiding in the tent and didn't dare to come out to see me. ”

"What a arrogant man!"

The soldier sighed secretly, but said with a smile: "Lord Liu, you wait a while, the lord will come in a while." ”

When Liu He heard this, his face softened slightly, and he said, "Okay, I'll wait for a while." ”

Hearing that Wang Can would arrive in a while, Liu He showed a happy smile on his face, and secretly said in his heart: Look, being strong is different, Wang Can is ready to come out to greet him. Moreover, Liu He still imagined in his heart that Wang Can was late, and he must have to change into his official uniform again, so he would wait for a while.

At this time, Liu He's mood was very happy and excited.

Ren An's words that he had instructed him were all forgotten, and Liu He still complained a little about Ren An in his heart, feeling that Ren An's set was outdated and inapplicable.

A quarter of an hour passed quietly.

Liu He kept walking back and forth, looking at the soldiers patrolling the camp with an eager expression.

He took a deep breath, strode up to the soldier, and asked, "Hey, Wang Can said wait a while, it's been so long, why hasn't there been any movement?" You go and inform Wang Can and ask him to come and pick me up immediately, hmph, I am an envoy of Yizhou, Wang Can is too guarded, and he dares not to come to meet me, don't you understand etiquette? ”

The soldier's eyes rolled and he said, "Lord Liu, wait a minute, I'll go and inform Lord Taishou." ”

With that, the soldier ran to the camp with the spear in his hand.

After a short time, the soldiers returned to the gate of the camp. Seeing this, the soldier standing on the other side showed a puzzled look on his face, the time it takes to go to the big tent of the Chinese army and the time for the soldiers to enter the camp are far apart, this time is only enough to run half the distance, why did the soldiers come back suddenly after running in.

The soldier arched his hand towards Liu He and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, wait a minute, Lord Taishou still has a little matter, and he will come later." ”

Liu He snorted and said, "Okay, I'll wait a little longer." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, glancing at the camp from time to time, waiting for Wang Can to appear.

The two soldiers standing at the gate of the camp winked at each other, a wicked smile on their faces. In fact, the soldiers who had just returned to the camp only ran half the distance, only disappeared from Liu He's sight, and then stopped for a moment in the middle of the camp, and then quickly ran back without informing Wang Can.

In a quarter of an hour, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Liu He stood outside the camp, lost his patience, and shouted: "You, go and inform Wang Can again and let him come out quickly." ”

The soldier sighed and said, "My lord, it is not easy for us to be soldiers, you should be considerate and considerate, wait for another quarter of an hour, if after a quarter of an hour, the Taishou has not come out to see you, I will immediately go to the camp to inform the Taishou, please come and greet the Taishou, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, I'll wait another quarter of an hour."

Liu He was very helpless, walked back and forth for a while, and simply returned to the carriage, sat on the wheel, and waited for Wang Can to come out to greet him. At this time, Liu He still didn't notice it, thinking that Wang Can had something, and the two soldiers next to him frowned slightly, and they didn't say anything to remind Liu He.

In anxiety and helplessness, Liu He felt like a year.

He was ordered to come, and it was impossible for him to walk away.

When he wanted to meet Wang Can, he took the initiative, but Wang Can put it aside, which made Liu He feel very uncomfortable. A quarter of an hour, the time was very long, Liu He didn't know how he came over, and when he felt that the time seemed to be almost over, he immediately jumped out of the carriage and ordered: "You, go and inform Wang Can immediately, let him come to see me." ”

"No!"

The soldiers walked into the camp and ran to the big tent of the Chinese army.

At this time, outside Wang Can's camp tent, the atmosphere was solemn and depressing, at the door of the Chinese army's big tent, there was a row of elite soldiers standing on both sides, these soldiers were wearing black armor, their faces were hideous, and they were holding war knives, and the bright war knives were flashing with a cold murderous aura in the sun. Walking in it, I felt a chill rising from the soles of my feet.

One foot in front of the soldiers, a stone stove was built with large stones, and a large cauldron was placed on it.

In the stone stove, the firewood crackles and burns non-stop, and the fiery red seedlings burn the bottom of the red pot, boiling the water in the cauldron to a boil, and the slightest hot air rises from the cauldron, making people feel a hot breath coming to their faces.

When the soldiers saw this, they immediately returned to the gate of the camp.

Liu He saw the soldiers coming out, but there was no Wang Can behind the soldiers, and he immediately became angry. He asked loudly, "Didn't you go to inform Wang Can?" Why haven't you seen anyone yet? ”

The soldier smiled and said, "Lord Liu, don't worry, Lord Taishou is arranging the venue to greet you, wait a while." ”

"Oh, that's so?"

Liu He thought about it and felt that Wang Can was still quite good, but he felt that Wang Can was likely to delay time. But no matter what Wang Can did, he had no way to make Wang Can come out immediately, so he could only wait for Wang Can. This time, after waiting for half an hour, a soldier finally ran out, walked up to Liu He, and said, "Lord Taishou, please!" ”

After finishing speaking, the soldier ignored Liu He and turned around and walked back.

Liu He looked angry, but still walked towards the camp.

When approaching Wang Can's tent, Liu He's face turned pale in an instant, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead kept seeping out.
