Chapter 256: Parting Ways
Wang Can talked to Diao Chan for a while, comforted Diao Chan, and then left Diao Chan's camp.
As soon as he walked out of Diao Chan's tent, Wang Can saw Pei Yuanshao squeezing his eyebrows at him, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord!" ”
Wang Can didn't know why, and asked rhetorically: "Pei Yuanshao, where does the joy come from?" ”
Pei Yuanshao heard Wang Can's question, the smile on his dark cheeks dissipated and became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The lord and Miss Xiu'er have become their good deeds, and the heirs are hopeful, of course it is a happy event." ”
Wang Can looked at Pei Yuanshao's serious expression, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
FeelingsPei Yuanshao has always been looking forward to him having a relationship with Diao Chan, so that Wang Can can sow seeds and create people!
Wang Can didn't understand Pei Yuanshao's mood, after all, Wang Can was only in his early twenties, still young, and ambitious, and didn't care too much about whether he had an heir now. However, being young does not guarantee that Wang Can will not have any accidents, and the birth of a child to be born will be able to continue Wang Can's foundation, which has a huge impact on the generals under Wang Can's command.
Even if Wang Can suddenly had an accident, he also had the young master to assist.
Wang Can didn't continue to dwell on this issue, changed the topic and asked, "Pei Yuanshao, how did Gao Shun recruit the Xiliang soldiers?" ”
Pei Yuanshao replied: "The specific matter is not clear, so I will go to the lord to inquire about the news?" ”
Wang Can waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll go by myself, you continue to patrol the camp." ”
"No!" Pei Yuanshao responded with a fist clenched, a happy smile on his face, and left humming an unknown song. He looked excited, as if he had won the battle.
Wang Can watched Pei Yuanshao leave, turned around and walked towards the place where Xiliang soldiers were held.
As soon as he walked to the place where Xiliang soldiers were being held, he saw Gao Shun walking out.
Wang Can asked, "Fuyi, what's going on?" ”
Gao Shun showed a smile on his face and said, "The last general lived up to the high expectations of the lord, and finally said that he had surrendered the three thousand Xiliang soldiers who had been captured. However, the last general felt that the Xiliang soldiers had just surrendered, and if they were immediately used to crusade against Dong Zhuo, there was likely to be a mutiny, so he suggested that the lord observe more, so that the Xiliang soldiers could completely submit to the lord. ”
Wang Can smiled: "Well, I understand. This time, the Western Liang soldiers were recruited, and it was thanks to Fu Yi's persuasion of the Western Liang soldiers that the three thousand Western Liang soldiers could be surrendered so smoothly. ”
Gao Shun said modestly: "This is also because the lord has prepared in advance, and the end will be so smooth." ”
Wang Can smiled and said, "Well, since you have subdued three thousand Western Liang soldiers, these three thousand Western Liang soldiers are temporarily managed by you." ”
"No!" Gao Shun shouted: "The last general must manage the three thousand Xiliang soldiers well, and strive to make the three thousand Xiliang soldiers become a strong force under the lord's command as soon as possible."
Wang Can hummed, waved his hand, and then said, "You are busy, I will continue to look around." ”
Subsequently, Wang Can inspected the camp again before returning to his camp.
After being tired all night, Wang Can returned to the camp tent and fell asleep in a short time.
After the army rested and the trivial matters of the princes from all walks of life were settled, they began to march towards Luoyang with the army. Along the way, the army did not encounter any resistance and easily arrived in Luoyang.
By the time the army arrived in Luoyang, the city of Luoyang was already in chaos, full of ruins and scorched earth.
Smoke was billowing out, the city was very mixed, and people fleeing with backpacks could be seen everywhere.
The princes of all walks of life camped their soldiers in the school field, and then the princes all went to the Luoyang Palace. Because before Dong Zhuo left, he let the Xiliang soldiers rob everywhere, dig up the imperial tomb, rob the rich merchants, and do all kinds of evil. All the valuables in the palace were also looted, and the imperial tomb and the temple were also looted.
In Luoyang City, except for the Hero Building, which has not yet suffered losses, other wealthy businessmen and gentry, imperial relatives and relatives have been slaughtered by the Xiliang army, and it is difficult for anyone to survive.
In the palace, the princes are divided into left and right.
Yuan Shao stood first on the left, and Cao Cao stood first on the right.
Kong Rong looked at the ruined palace, his face was gloomy, his eyes were full of anger, he stood up and said: "Alliance leader, the Luoyang Palace has been burned, and there are rubble and ruins everywhere; Then the imperial tomb was excavated and the temple was burned. Please send someone to clean the palace, restore the original appearance of the imperial tomb, tidy up the temple, and return Luoyang to a bright and prosperous world. ”
Yuan Shao walked out, stood in the center of the hall, faced the princes, and said loudly: "Kong Beihai's words are very reasonable, the royal family temple is a major event of the country, and you must not slack off. Among the princes, who is willing to lead the troops to clean the palace, repair the imperial tomb, and tidy up the temple. Although these are delicate tasks, they are complicated and need to be treated with caution. But for Dahan, this is also a move for the benefit of the country and the people. ”
Yuan Shao's gaze swept over everyone, but no one stood up.
Only Sun Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "Alliance leader, I am willing to go." ”
Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Okay, since this is the case, please ask Wentai to immediately lead the troops to clean the palace and tidy up the Taimiao and the imperial tomb." ”
"No!"
Sun Jian responded and turned to leave.
Cao Cao sighed faintly when he saw Sun Jian leaving.
Sun Jian was the main force in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and now Sun Jian led his troops to clean the palace, and there was one more powerful reinforcement missing. Cao Cao looked around at the princes in the hall, and slowly stood up and said: "Dong Zhuo led the troops to the west, fleeing in embarrassment, now is a great opportunity to take advantage of the victory to pursue, please lead the army to pursue Dong Zhuo, and rescue the emperor and hundreds of officials and ministers." ”
After Yuan Shao heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy.
Chasing Dong Zhuo?
What are you kidding, although Dong Zhuo is dead, Li Dao and Guo Yan, the two generals, have countless elite soldiers under his command, and the closer to Chang'an, the closer to Dong Zhuo's lair, and the stronger Dong Zhuo's strength is. Now leading the troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, it must be a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return. Yuan Shao made up his mind not to pursue Dong Zhuo, but he didn't show it himself.
After thinking about it, Yuan Shao asked, "Highway, do you agree to pursue Dong Zhuo?" ”
Yuan Shu said indifferently: "I want to chase you and me, I won't go anyway." ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Yuan Shao's cooperation was the most in line with his thoughts. After a pause, Yuan Shao asked again: "General Gongsun, Meng De said to pursue Dong Zhuo, are you willing?" ”
Gongsun Zhan's expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the princes will join the alliance, the army has fought again and again, and the battle with Dong Zhuo is also a mutual victory, although Dong Zhuo was finally defeated and occupied Luoyang, but after a series of battles, the soldiers have long been exhausted and do not have enough energy to continue to pursue Dong Zhuo. Zan thinks that it is better to stay in Luoyang for the time being and rest. ”
Yuan Shao asked several princes in succession, and the reply he received was that the army was tired and unwilling to continue the war.
After listening to everyone's answers, Yuan Shao had a kind smile on his face. He said in a harmonious voice: "Mengde, you see that all the princes think that the army should be rested. As the leader of the alliance, although I have the heart to crusade against Dong Zhuo with you, I also have to consider the opinions of the princes, everyone has the same idea, and I can only adopt the opinions of the princes, and the army will stay in Luoyang, recuperate, and wait for the opportunity. ”
Yuan Shao's words made the princes from all walks of life unhappy.
Obviously, Yuan Shao himself was unwilling to send troops, but he shirked it to the princes.
Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao refused to send troops, and immediately became anxious, if he didn't pursue Dong Zhuo, would it still make sense to crusade against Dong Zhuo?
He bowed to the princes in the palace and said in a deep voice: "Princes, please listen to Cao Cao's words. ”
Cao Cao issued a letter calling on the princes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but fortunately, with the full support of the princes, he personally led the troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo. Now Dong Zhuo burned the palace and hijacked the Son of Heaven, the world was shaken, the people's hearts were unstable, the Han Dynasty had reached a critical juncture, and it was necessary for the princes to lead the troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and the world would be decided in a war. Meritorious achievements are in front of you, what do you have to hesitate about? ”
Yuan Shu pursed his lips and said, "My army is tired and unable to enter. ”
Gongsun Zhan also stood up and said, "Brother Meng De, the soldiers are tired and can't join the army!" ”
Zhang Yang sneered: "Brother Meng De, you have to be considerate of the soldiers, and when the soldiers are rested, it is not too late to enter the army." ”
……
All the princes dissuaded Cao Cao from taking the initiative to send troops.
Yuan Shao stood up again as a peacemaker at this time, and persuaded him with good words: "Mengde, you see that all the princes think that they should take a break for a while, don't argue, stay, and after the army is rested, attack Dong Zhuo with the army." ”
Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao was unwilling to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo, so he was angry and shouted: "The erector is not enough and the plan!" ”
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao brushed his sleeves and left.
Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, and his face was very embarrassed. He already gave Cao Cao a lot of face, but Cao Cao didn't know the current affairs, so he could only blame Cao Cao himself.
Seeing Cao Cao leaving, Wang Can also stood up and said: "Alliance leader, Dong Zhuo's new defeat is a great opportunity to pursue, and Can thinks that he should lead his troops to defeat Dong Zhuo." However, the soldiers of Zhugong were tired, and it was definitely impossible to lead the troops into battle, so Wang Can asked for battle and voluntarily led the troops to attack Dong Zhuo. ”
Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and asked, "First, why don't you wait for two more days?" ”
Wang Canxin said in his heart to wait for two more days, maybe he will wait for two more days after two days, how can he have a chance to do a big vote. He was deliberately silent for a moment, and said, "Alliance Leader, Chan has made up his mind, please ask the Alliance Master to agree." ”
Yuan Shao saw that Wang Can had made up his mind, and sighed and said, "First, since you insist on going, then go!" ”
Wang Can thanked him and said, "Thank you Alliance Leader." ”
After speaking, Wang Can also left the main hall.
Yuan Shao watched Wang Can and Cao Cao leave one after another, with a gloomy face, not knowing what was going on in his heart.
When Wang Can walked out of the main hall, he saw Cao Cao waiting for him outside the palace, as if he knew that Wang Can would come out. Cao Cao smiled, walked up to Wang Can, and said: "First, I knew that you would definitely lead the army to attack Dong Zhuo, and with you and me joining forces to attack Dong Zhuo, we would definitely be able to defeat Dong Zhuo and rescue the emperor's important ministers." ”
Wang Can shook his head and refused: "Brother Mengde, I'm ready to go it alone." ”
Cao Cao exclaimed: "First, how can you want to go it alone? ”
Wang Can stretched out his hands and said helplessly: "Brother Meng De, you are dedicated to the country, I can understand your hard work." Now that the princes have lost their enterprising spirit, it is useless to remain among the princes. I led the troops to attack Dong Zhuo this time, just to see if there was a chance to inflict heavy damage on Dong Zhuo, if there was no chance, I would directly lead the troops back to Hanzhong, so I would not be with Brother Meng De. ”
After Cao Cao heard this, he was deeply convinced of Wang Can's words.
Dong Zhuo's westward move was a great opportunity to pursue Dong Zhuo, but the princes stayed in Luoyang, which was a pity.
Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "First, since you have already decided, I will not dissuade you from joining me." I still have to gather soldiers, and I am busy with military affairs, so I will take my leave first...... This time I led the troops to attack Dong Zhuo, hoping that you can achieve victory and defeat Dong Zhuo. ”
Wang Can said: "Thanks to Brother Mengde's auspicious words, Can also resigned." ”
Arching his hand towards Cao Cao, Wang Can left.
