Cao Cao and Wang Can were drunk, and they were both asleep and snoring in bed.

Early the next morning, the winter rain stopped, and a red sun rose in the sky.

The golden light was sprinkled and very dazzling.

The warm sunlight shines on the body, and it is extremely comfortable. When the sun shines, the ice slag dotted on the branches and the snow on the ground begin to melt, and drops of crystal snow water slide down from the branches, illuminated by the golden sun, reflecting all kinds of light, which is quite moving.

Wang Can, Cao Cao and others went out of the restaurant, wandered around Yingchuan City, and finally walked to the Xun family compound.

After a year, Xunfu has long been dilapidated.

The reason is because Xun Yu, as the elder of the Xun family, took all the family members of the Xun family away when Xun Yu left Yingchuan County. Xunfu is uninhabited, naturally it is dilapidated and damaged, and there are spiders everywhere.

After a walk around Xunfu, Cao Cao, Wang Can and others left and went to the city again.

It's almost the New Year, and the city is full of people.

Xun You looked at the bustling streets and the laughing crowd, without the slightest interest.

He walked quickly to Wang Can, lowered his voice and said: "Lord, there are frequent wars in Yingchuan, although no princes occupy Yingchuan, but all the princes in the world have spies in Yingchuan, if you stay in Yingchuan for too long, it will inevitably attract the attention of other princes." You have finished worshiping your uncle and can leave for Yizhou. ”

Xun You's words are the real situation in Yingchuan at present.

Dong Zhuo led his troops to evacuate Luoyang and retreat to Chang'an.

However, after Dong Zhuo left, Yuan Shao also led his troops out of Luoyang. Yuan Shao and all the princes left, and no one remained in Luoyang. Seeing this, Dong Zhuo sent soldiers to retake Luoyang, and his forces still covered the surrounding areas of Luoyang, and Yingchuan was also in Dong Zhuo's sphere of influence. Although Dong Zhuo did not garrison the army in Yingchuan, Yingchuan was threatened by Dong Zhuo.

The princes were afraid that Dong Zhuo's troops would attack after occupying Yingchuan, and Dong Zhuo was also afraid that the army stationed in Yingchuan would be besieged. As a result, Yingchuan became a vacuum, and no princes came.

Not only that, but Dong Zhuo also occupies Runan County and can threaten Yingchuan.

At the beginning, Wang Can returned to the imperial court and ceded Runan to Dong Zhuo. After Wang Can entered Shu to serve as the Han Taishou, Dong Zhuo sent troops to garrison Runan.

Due to Wang Can's arrival, both Liu Pi and Gong were killed in advance.

Runan is geographically important and is the place of four wars.

However, the princes of the world were still strengthening their strength, and there were no extra troops to attack Runan, so that after Dong Zhuo retreated west, Runan was still under Dong Zhuo's control. Dong Zhuo retreated westward, and the Xiliang army occupying Runan also knew that without reinforcements and grain and grass support, it would be difficult to attack the rest of the place, so they just stuck to Runan and kept this place.

Therefore, Yingchuan was calm on the surface, but it was the result of the balance between the princes and Dong Zhuo.

When things happen, this balance can easily be upset.

It can be said that Cao Cao and Wang Can both risked their lives and risked their lives to worship Xun Shuang.

Fortunately, several people have changed their outfits, just wearing ordinary clothes, which is not easy to attract the attention of others, but there is no major problem, and it is not easy to encounter danger.

Xun You suggested to Wang Can to return to Yizhou, Xun Yu also walked to Cao Cao's side, and said in a low voice: "Lord, there are many affairs in Dongjun, and Zhicai is not in good health, if everything is pressed on Zhicai, I am afraid that Zhicai's health will not be good." Yu has finished paying homage to his uncle, and we will immediately return to Dongjun to avoid accidents. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he changed color in horror.

The drama is talented and strategic, and Cao Cao relies on him as his right-hand man, which is indispensable.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai have been together for a period of time and know Xi Zhicai's style very well. Xi Zhicai is simply desperate to do things, as if he is playing with his life, and he doesn't care about his body at all. Cao Cao and Xun Yu are not in Dongjun, all the official affairs are piled up, wouldn't it be even more fatal for Xi Zhicai to deal with it alone.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao showed an eager look on his face, and he couldn't wait to return to Dongjun immediately, and thought for a while: "Ruo, let's go back to the restaurant immediately, and prepare to set off and return to Dongjun." ”

Cao Cao's expression was not good, he arched his hand at Wang Can, and then turned to leave.

For Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao regards it as a treasure and is very important. It was not easy for him to get a person like Xi Zhicai, who has the opportunity to hide the universe in his chest, is full of strategy, and has the talent of gods and ghosts, but he can't easily lose.

Seeing Cao Cao leaving in a hurry, Wang Can also said to Xun You: "Gongda, let's go back too." ”

The group returned to Yuelai Restaurant.

When a few people returned, a young man dressed in brocade clothes, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and two mustaches on his lips, like a Jian businessman, smiled and ran into a residence opposite Yuelai Restaurant.

The man entered through the back door, and when he reached the hall, he bowed respectfully to the person sitting in the hall.

He bowed his waist, bowed his head and said, "My lord, the villain has found out the news of Wang Can. ”

When the person sitting in the hall heard this, he opened his eyes and said, "You should tell me in detail, and you must not omit one thing. ”

"No!" The young man clenched his fists and shouted, with a flattering smile on his face. He said it very carefully, and 1510 made the matter of Wang Can and Cao Cao clear.

"Jiji, I finally caught up, and there is a Cao Cao, interesting, even more interesting." The person sitting in the hall sneered a few times, waved his hand, and said, "You go to the account room to receive ten rewards, go down." ”

The young man looked overjoyed and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

After finishing speaking, the young man ran to receive the reward.

In the hall, only the people who sat on the main seat remained.

If Wang Can stood in the hall, he would definitely be able to recognize this person, because this person was the imperial envoy sent by Dong Zhuo to Yizhou, and this person sent the appointment of Yizhou Pastor and Dong Zhuo's daughter to Wang Can's mansion and left Yizhou. However, halfway through, he and his entourage changed their attire and asked the entourage to return to Chang'an on his behalf, while he quietly returned to Chengdu to monitor Wang Can's every move.

This person is called an envoy of the imperial court, but he is a person from Li Ru'an Cha in Han.

Wang Can and Xun You went all the way north, and this person and his subordinates chased after him and kept probing Wang Can's news.

Because Wang Can asked Gan Ning to drive the boat by water, it took him a lot of effort to catch up with Yingchuan. As soon as I arrived in Yingchuan, I got news from Wang Can, which was really taken care of by God. Moreover, he not only showed Wang Can's traces, but also Cao Cao was also in Yingchuan, and the two of them stayed together, which made him very excited.

"Opportunity, great opportunity!"

He abruptly stood up and paced up and down the hall, thinking about what to do with it.

Suddenly, he shouted, "Someone! ”

Outside the hall, a few attendants ran in, although these attendants were wearing the clothes of the family, their bodies were extremely strong, the expression on their faces was a fierce spirit, and their palms were also covered with calluses, obviously the warriors of the army, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a look.

He beckoned to a few people and kept telling things off.

When several attendants heard this, they all showed happy expressions.

In a few moments, the man finished his order and beat the attendant. He stood in the hall, looking at the little golden light spilled from the hall with his hands behind his back, sneering twice, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

……

Yuelai Restaurant, Cao Cao and Xun Yu packed up their bags and walked to Wang Can's residence.

"Boom! Boom! ”

Cao Cao knocked on Wang Can's door, and after a while, Wang Can opened the door and welcomed Cao Cao in. Cao Cao packed his bags and prepared to leave.

Wang Can is also packing up and preparing to return to Yizhou.

When Wang Can saw Cao Cao coming in, he said with a smile: "Brother Meng De, this farewell, I don't know what year and month we will see each other again, I can't say that the next time we meet, we are already on the battlefield." ”

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and punched Wang Can, laughing and said, "First, I will definitely not lose to you." If you let me go, fuck must defeat Dong Zhuo one step earlier than you and welcome back the Son of Heaven. When the time comes, you will become an official in the court and serve in the court, hahaha......"

Wang Can shook his head and smiled: "Whoever wins and who loses, how can it be based on personal wishes." ”

Cao Cao looked resolute and said: "First, although you have Yizhou, there are too many natural dangers in Yizhou, and the road is difficult to travel, which makes it very difficult for you to get out of Shu." Although there is only Dongjun, it is in the original hinterland, and it is as fast as thunder, but it is not necessarily worse than you. Don't worry, I will definitely welcome back the Son of Heaven one step ahead of you. ”

Wang Can packed up and arched his hand: "Brother Mengde, wait and see!" ”

Cao Cao arched his hand and said: "First, we will rely on our own means to see who is powerful." Take a step forward for my brother and say goodbye. ”

After speaking, Cao Cao and Xun Yu turned around and left Wang Can's room. After the two left, Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "Lord, Wang Can is ambitious, if he defeats Dong Zhuo and welcomes back the Son of Heaven, he can't be the next Dong Zhuo." It is really unwise for the lord to deal with such a person. ”

For Wang Can, a state pastor born in a yellow scarf, Xun Yu really lacks a good impression.

Moreover, Xun Yu's intuition was that Wang Can was too ambitious and could never be a person loyal to the Han family.

Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's words, his eyes burst out with a little essence, and said: "If, in troubled times, who doesn't have a little ambition? If everyone was like this, the world would have been Dong Zhuo's long ago. Wang Can spent a year to become a Yizhou pastor, his ability and means should not be underestimated, he is a hero in the world, and he is worth associating. If I defeat Dong Zhuo and welcome back the Son of Heaven, I will definitely recruit him into the court as an official, rectify the dynasty, and benefit the world. ”

After Xun Yu heard this, a look of admiration appeared on his face.

After a pause, Xun Yu said again: "Lord, Wang Can is this person...... Eh, forget it, after a long time, you can see this person's ambition. The lord will wait and see, and he will definitely be able to see through the true face of this person. ”

Cao Cao smiled indifferently, ambition? Face?

Who can see through who these days?

……

In the house, Wang Can was waiting for Pei Yuanshao, Gan Ning and others.

After a while, Xun You was the first to arrive, and then Gan Ning and Pei Yuanshao, as well as the four black-clothed warriors who protected Wang Can, also arrived at Wang Can's room. The group packed up and prepared to leave.

Wang Can nodded, left the room, and left the restaurant.

Several people quickly boarded the carriage and left Yingchuan County.

Cao Cao went to Dongjun and hurried in the northeast direction, and Wang Can went to Yizhou and hurried in the northwest direction, in diametrically opposite directions. When you leave the city, it's hard to see each other.

The carriage galloped all the way, and the slightest cold wind blew into the carriage, carrying a hint of cold.

Because when it was time to leave, dry food had already been prepared. Therefore, at noon, the carriage rested for a while, and after eating dry food, it continued on its way.

As the sun sets, the sky leaves a blood-red remnant sun.

The sky gradually darkened, and the two sides of the official road were still deserted, and there was no place to stay. Pei Yuanshao said: "Lord, it's freezing this day, let's find a place to rest for the night, and then we will go tomorrow." ”

Wang Can said: "Okay, you pay attention along the way, see if there are dilapidated Taoist temples, temples or people's homes around, we will stay overnight and leave tomorrow." ”

"No!"

Pei Yuanshao replied, and rode his horse to continue on his way.

Driving all the way, because the place is too deserted, I didn't encounter a populated place. Eventually, encountering a dilapidated Taoist temple, the carriage stopped at the Taoist temple. Several attendants immediately cleaned up the spiders in the Taoist temple, and cleaned up a clean place for Wang Can and Xun You to stay.

The fire ignited, dispelling the cold of the Taoist temple and restoring the warmth of several people. After eating dry food and bread, they lay down on the dry grass of the Taoist temple to rest.

Gan Ning sat at the gate and kept watch for half the night.

The sky was dark, Gan Ning squinted his eyes slightly, closed his eyes and recuperated.

I don't know when, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the distance of the Taoist temple, and the torches were shining in the night sky, extremely dazzling. Gan Ning hadn't fallen asleep before, when he heard a voice in the distance, he suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the Hengjiang knife on his thigh, and was on guard.

ps: One of the three watches, ask for collections and flowers.
