Xu Shu was appointed by Wang Can as the assassin of Yangzhou and presided over the overall situation of Jiangdong. (）

In an instant, there were two Yangzhou thorn histories in the world.

One of them was appointed by Cao Cao and stayed in Shouchun all the year round, which is recognized by the world as the seat of Yangzhou and the history of Yangzhou as a thorn. However, Cao Cao controlled Yangzhou only on the north bank of the Yangtze River, such as Tuzhong, Hefei, Chengde, Linhuai and other places, excluding Huiji County, Danyang County, Wu County, Lujiang County, Yuzhang County and other vast territories.

Xu Shu, appointed by Wang Can, controlled most of Yangzhou's territory and was stronger. And the Yangzhou assassin appointed by Cao Cao was afraid of the strength of the Ganning naval army and did not dare to go south, but he also transmitted the news of the destruction of the state of Wu back to Yecheng.

Wei State, in the middle of the side hall.

Cao Cao sat directly above the side hall, and on the left and right sides below were Wenchen.

Xun Yu, Liu Ye, Chen Qun, and Jiang Ji sat on the left side, and Sima Lang, Man Chong, Dong Zhao, Sima Yi and others sat on the right side, all of whom were wise and resourceful under Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said lightly: "Wang Can pacified the state of Wu, and the Sun family was destroyed, what do you think?" ”

Chen Qun arched his hand and said: "My lord, from the minister's point of view, the current usefulness of the Wu State is no different from chicken ribs, and it is not of much use. The lord only needs to send an order to Yangzhou Assassin Shi, so that he can strictly defend and not take the initiative to attack. At present, the main battlefields are in Chang'an and Luoyang, as well as Wang Can's old nest Yizhou, which is the point. ”

Liu Ye nodded and said: "Although we haven't taken the state yet, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun's offensive has been blocked, and they don't block the land in Guanzhong, which is a good sign." The minister thought that Changwen (Chen Qunzi)'s words were very reasonable, because Shu had a naval army of Ganning, and even if he sent troops south, it would be impossible to achieve victory. It is only necessary to block the power of Nanyangzhou, put all the energy on Guanzhong and Yizhou, and solve these two places, so that there is a chance to completely defeat Wang Can. ”

Cao Cao sighed and said: "It's a pity that the state was not taken, otherwise it would be much easier to deal with Wang Can, don't worry about the rear." ”

Sima Yi stood up and said confidently: "The minister is the lord and the state is merged!" ”

When Sima Lang heard this, he looked at Sima Yi reproachfully, thinking that Sima Yi shouldn't have said enough.

"Oh!"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, looked at Sima Yi in surprise, and said, "Zhongda, in front of everyone, you can't laugh at will." Our army sent troops again and again, and fought with the Shu army several times, but failed to take the state, especially Zhao Yun's light cavalry attacked, coming and going without a trace, this is a hard bone, not easy to gnaw. ”

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi with a smile, but his eyes flashed with excitement. Suddenly, Cao Cao's face changed drastically, and the smile on his face turned into hideous pain.

Obviously, Cao Cao's headache has been committed again.

Xun Yu hurriedly stood up and said, "Lord, the minister immediately went to ask for a doctor." ”

With that, Xun Yu turned around and prepared to go to the imperial doctor.

"Slow!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, his voice spit out from between his teeth, and said word by word: "What is a headache, is there anything more troublesome than the Shu army capturing the Wu State?" Is there anything more troublesome than Wang Can? Sit down, no need to call a doctor. Zhongda, then said, Lone can hold back. A little old problem, not worth the fuss. ”

Xun Yu was helpless, returned to the seat and sat down.

Cao Cao snorted and endured the pain, but waves of pain continued to invade, making Cao Cao's eyes widen, his eyes were about to split, his cheeks were congested and red, and the green tendons on his neck appeared, which looked extremely terrifying.

"Squeak! Chirping! ”

Fists clenched, knuckles rubbing.

Sima Yi glanced at Cao Cao with admiration, took a deep breath, and said quickly: "Lord, the minister has been thinking for a long time and has considered a strategy to break the enemy. The specific arrangement is like this, the lord personally led the army to battle,......, only in this way can Fa Zheng be confused, attract Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong out, and create opportunities for his subordinates to take advantage of. ”

"Okay, Zhongda is a good medicine."

Cao Cao laughed, his headache disappeared all at once, and he quickly regained his composure.

Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "It's only the beginning of May now, although the grain for the big war has been prepared last year, but if it is a decisive battle with the army of Shu immediately, the grain and grass are not enough. The minister suggested that after this year's grain harvest be harvested, the attack should be launched. ”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Wen Ruo, our goal is to merge with the state, and we will not fight Wang Can for the time being, so we have to go in the second half of the year." Be assured that you have plenty of time to harvest. Besides, Wang Can also has a headache now, how can he have time to care about us. If Wang Can wants to start a war, it will take half a year, and at that time we have already taken the state. ”

Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "Lord Mingjian!" ”

After Cao Cao heard this, he was not happy, but sighed.

Sima Lang asked, "Lord, why do you sigh?" “

Cao Cao said: "In the past, the lone army fought with Wang Can, and found the weapons of the cavalry under Wang Can's command, which were called horseshoes, stirrups and saddles after inquiry, these items are easy to imitate, and our cavalry has been equipped. However, the Han knife of the Shu army is sharp and tenacious, but it is difficult to imitate it, no matter how we imitate it, it cannot reach the level of the Han knife, this is a lonely heart knot! ”

When they heard this, they all fell silent.

Everybody knows about it.

Man Zhong said in a deep voice: "Lord, we defeated Yuan Shao and got a lot of money, since we can't build it, we just buy it from Shu Kingdom." Shu encouraged merchants to buy and sell, and there were countless merchants, so we started with merchants all over Chengdu and used merchants to buy weapons used by Wang Can's soldiers. Although it costs money, forging weapons also costs a lot of money, with the Han sword of Shu, plus we forge some ourselves, it will not be pulled away too much. ”

Cao Cao said: "Gu also wants to buy from Shu, Wang Can must be on guard, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky." ”

Full Favor said solemnly: "Merchants seek profits, there are businessmen who drill camps, what else can't be done?" Even if Wang Can ordered that the sale of weapons was strictly prohibited, there were always businessmen who would risk being killed to do it. Shu is big, there are always black sheep, as long as we are willing to pay, someone will go to the camp and get us weapons. ”

Cao Cao still frowned, feeling that he couldn't do anything.

Man Zhong said again: "My lord, the situation in Chengdu is tense and even a little chaotic, this is our good opportunity." Why didn't the lord send an order for the people of Chengdu to increase their strength, so that they could buy knives, and even the craftsmen who forged weapons could buy them at a high price. Whether you can succeed or not, whether you have a chance or not, you will only know until you do it. ”

Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said, "Boning's words are like morning bells and dusk drums!" ”

Everyone was very happy to see Cao Cao's eyebrows flying.

Cao Cao said ashamedly: "I fought several battles with Wang Can, and I lost a few battles, and I didn't believe myself anymore." I think of something that I can't succeed, so I don't dare to do it, and I'm really ashamed. Berning said well, whether it works or not, whether it can succeed or not, you have to give it a try to find out. Sent an order to the people in Chengdu to hurry up, buy knives, buy craftsmen, and even snatch back the craftsmen who forged weapons from Wang Can. As long as it can be done, don't care about the means. ”

A wicked smile appeared on Cao Cao's face.

Shu is in chaos, so there is a chance!

……

Chengdu, outside the South Gate.

A team of people came in a hurry, and this team of people and horses was naturally Wang Can and his party. He took Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Dian Wei and others to return first, and finally came back after traveling day and night.

At the gate of the city, Cheng Yu led people to greet him.

When the army arrived at the gate of the city, Wang Can did not turn over and dismount, and instructed Cheng Yu: "Zhong Degong, let all the officials go back to do things, you don't need to accompany me, you accompany me to visit the teacher." Cai Yong's mansion is close to Cheng Yu's mansion, especially Cai Yong and Cheng Yu are close friends, and Cheng Yu knows the details of Cai Yong.

Wang Can rebuked the waiting officials, turned around again, and instructed Jia Xu: "Wenhe, you set up the eight thousand elites you brought back. Wait until I visit the teacher and then think about other things. ”

"No!"

Jia Xu gave up and did not leave with Wang Can.

Cheng Yu is already sixty years old, but he is in good spirits. He rode a lean horse and followed Wang Can towards Cai's mansion. Cheng Yu saw that Wang Can was still followed by a thin middle-aged man, and asked, "Lord, who is this?" ”

Wang Can introduced: "This person's name is Gu Yong, and he is a disciple of the teacher. ”

Gu Yong rode on the horse, and immediately hugged his fists and said, "Gu Yong saw Mr. Cheng." ”

Cheng Yu politely smiled at Gu Yong as a return gift.

Wang Can asked, "Zhong Degong, you said in your letter that the teacher is in danger, how is the situation?" ”

Jia Xu's face showed a look of joy, and said, "Don't worry, the lord doesn't have to worry about it, Bo Xu's body is no longer in serious trouble." It's just that people are old and recover very slowly. Speaking of which, it is really blessed by the sky, before the flood in Xiangyang, Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo took away most of the doctors, leaving most of the apprentices, and only a few doctors. Their medical skills were limited, so they could only try their best to diagnose and treat, but Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing returned to Chengdu with people at this time, and the two divine doctors came to the rescue to save Bo Jiao. ”

"Whew!"

Wang Can let out a sigh, and he could already feel the thrill at that time.

The capable doctors of the medical school all left with Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, and all that remained were apprentices. They were helpless when they encountered Cai Yong's problems, and it was difficult to save Cai Yong.

If Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing didn't come back in time, Cai Yong would probably die.

Thankfully, though, it caught up.

Although Cai Yong was rescued, the anger in Wang Can's heart still rose uncontrollably. If the two miracle doctors didn't return to Chengdu in time, and Cai Yong was already a cold corpse, what would be the scene? Wang Can couldn't imagine what he would do, or even what Cai Yan would do.

Cheng Yu looked at Wang Can, who was becoming more and more calm, and said: "The dark tide in Chengdu is surging, it's good that the lord is back." ”

When Wang Can heard this, he immediately became alert.

What does Cheng Yu mean when he says this?

At the moment, Wang Can didn't have the heart to think about other things, so let's go and see Cai Yong's situation first. After Wang Can, Gu Yong, and Cheng Yu arrived at Cai's mansion, they went directly to the backyard where Cai Yong was resting.
