Chapter 227: Wang Yue returns to the camp

Seeing Cao Cao walk in, his expression was serious and his steps were heavy, and Wang Can's heart sank. Bubble *book* bar ()

Could it be that something big is happening?

Otherwise, with Cao Cao's indomitable character, how could he show such a look.

Wang Can waved his hand to signal Cao Cao to sit down, and asked loudly, "Brother Meng De, what happened?" ”

Cao Cao lifted his robe, sat down under Xun You, and said slowly: "First, I won't beat around the bush and get straight to the point." Today, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army and the princes' allied forces are fighting, on the surface, Dong Zhuo took the initiative to withdraw his troops, and he was at a disadvantage, and the princes' allied forces had the advantage, but the real situation is the first You can definitely see that the Xiliang Army and the princes' allied forces are comparable in combat strength, and both sides are comparable. ”

"After this battle, the princes from all walks of life wanted to defeat Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop, and their thoughts of going straight to Luoyang must have been suppressed again. Coupled with the fact that the strength of the two sides is equal, the situation is too stalemate, and the soldiers are killed and wounded heavily. In this case, the princes of all walks of life will definitely retreat and avoid fighting. ”

Cao Cao had a look of grief on his face, and his tone became deeper and lower, and he said: "Cao Guang sent a letter and called on all the princes of the world to work together to crusade against Dong Zhuo. Now that the army is approaching Luoyang, success is also close at hand, and you only need to find a way to defeat Dong Zhuo, so that you can rectify the dynasty and return the Han to a bright future. At this time, we must not retreat, we must find ways to take the initiative and seize the opportunity to defeat Dong Zhuo. ”

Wang Can smiled and said: "Brother Meng De, you are too worried, although the princes are a little cautious, they will not ignore the overall situation. ”

Cao Cao immediately asked, "First, do you dare to say that this is your true words?" ”

Wang Can smiled and said, "Mengde, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as the princes can send troops to fight the enemy." ”

Cao Cao's eyes widened, and he shouted: "First, you are outstanding in civil and military affairs, how can you not see the careful thinking of the princes, once they encounter difficulties, these princes will retreat, and once there are enough interests in front, they will move forward bravely." Now that Dong Zhuotun is gathering a large army in front, and the princes are fighting to no avail, there will definitely be other thoughts in their hearts, thinking of avoiding and not fighting. That's the case, why am I so worried? ”

Wang Can also did not give in at all, and asked rhetorically: "Today, Dong Zhuo took the initiative to withdraw his troops, and Yuan Shao just did not order the pursuit, how can Meng De be sure that the princes will avoid fighting in the face of Dong Zhuo's army?" ”

Cao Cao opened his mouth and said, "This is the result of my inference based on the situation of the princes. ”

Wang Can said: "There is no evidence, Meng De believes so much that the princes will definitely avoid fighting? ”

"Of course!"

Cao Cao's tone was resolute, his expression was firm, and he did not hesitate at all. From the point to the surface, the gap between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can also be seen from this small matter, involving major issues of right and wrong, Cao Cao is decisive and resolute, but Yuan Shao is looking forward and backward and hesitating, which is also the reason why Cao Cao has a stoic personality and can achieve great things.

Wang Can shook his head, knowing that Cao Cao would definitely stick to his own opinion and would not change.

Wang Can couldn't convince Cao Cao, and he didn't continue to entangle, he knew history, and he also knew that after Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao fought, Dong Zhuo's army withdrew to Chang'an, and Yuan Shao did not pursue Dong Zhuo, but drank and had fun with other princes. Wang Can sighed and said, "Meng De, since you speculate that the princes are afraid of losing soldiers and generals and dare not go to war, what is Meng De's strategy?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Pursue Dong Zhuo!" ”

Wang Can stretched out his hands and said helplessly: "The soldiers under my command have suffered heavy casualties, how can any soldiers pursue Dong Zhuo?" ”

Cao Cao retorted: "This is a bad word, although the Hanzhong army suffered heavy casualties, but the Hanzhong soldiers led by Pei Yuanshao are not afraid of death, Commander Zhao Yun's broken military camp is unparalleled, and Gao Shun's trapped camp is invincible, these are all elite divisions, how can there be no soldiers to pursue Dong Zhuo." Although many princes are definitely ready to be turtles with shrunken heads, not everyone is like this, such as Sun Jian, who is too protective of Changsha and is willing to raise troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, plus others, there must be many princes who pursue Dong Zhuo. ”

Wang Can smiled and asked, "In this case, Meng De said that there are still those princes?" ”

"Gongsun Chan!" Cao Cao immediately said.

Wang Can shook his head, it would be good for Gongsun Zan to lead the army to participate once, but he also had to face the pressure of Liu Yu, the Taishou of Youzhou, how could he put all the white horse servants on the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

"Xiliang Ma Teng?"

Wang Can still shook his head.

"Yanzhou Liu Dai?"

Wang Can still shook his head.

……

Cao Cao said several princes in a row, Wang Can shook his head, and finally Wang Can said: "Meng De, you should know in your heart that the only people who can pursue Dong Zhuo are me, you, Sun Jian, and no one else except the three of us." ”

Cao Cao nodded helplessly, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Wang Can asked again: "Meng De, Dong Zhuo's army is gathered together, how to pursue?" ”

Cao Cao suddenly showed a smile on his face and said, "If there is chaos in the imperial court, Dong Zhuo has to withdraw his troops, and this is a great opportunity for us to take the initiative to pursue Dong Zhuo." ”

"Civil strife in the imperial court?"

Wang Can stared at Cao Cao, and laughed after half a sound: "Mengde, Mengde, you played a big game of chess!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and remained silent.

Wang Can's gaze swept over Cao Cao, and a turbulent wave rose in his heart.

Cao Cao led his soldiers far away in the princes' camps, and was able to grasp the movements of the imperial court. As Guo Jia had previously deduced, once the court was in chaos, Dong Zhuo would inevitably face internal and external troubles, so Dong Zhuo's policy was definitely to settle the outside world first, stabilize the court first, and then prepare to fight with the princes. Cao Cao was able to do this, proving that there were still Cao Cao's people in the court, or people from the Cao family.

Wang Can said: "Brother Meng De, this matter is very important, let me think about it for a day?" ”

After Cao Cao heard this, although he was not directly rejected, he was also a little disappointed, but Cao Cao was also an open-minded person, and he recovered in an instant, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for the news first." ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao got up and said goodbye and left.

After Cao Cao left, Xun You said: "Lord, it's also a good thing to pursue Dong Zhuo, why are you ......?" ”

Wang Can looked at the direction in which Cao Cao was leaving, and said with a smile: "It is certain to pursue Dong Zhuo, but you can't agree to Cao Cao so easily, otherwise how can you show the importance of our Hanzhong army?" I have such a small number of troops under my command, if I don't make careful calculations, I will be defeated, and what face do I have to go back to see the elders of Hanzhong. ”

"The lord is wise!"

Xun You showed a sudden look, and he also admired Wang Can's methods.

Up to now, Wang Can's methods of dealing with people have become more and more mature.

Soon after Cao Cao left, Yuan Shao came to visit in person, and Wang Can greeted Yuan Shao into the big tent before asking: "Alliance leader, if there is something to send soldiers directly to say that Canzi will go to the alliance leader's tent, why bother the alliance leader to come in person." I don't know where the alliance leader came from? ”

Yuan Shao said: "First, today's battle between the army and Dong Zhuo, what do you think about first?" ”

Wang Can glanced at Yuan Shao, and said in his heart that Cao Cao was worthy of being Yuan Shao's old friend, and he actually saw through Yuan Shao's thoughts.

Yuan Shao must have planned to avoid a fight in his heart, and specially came to test Wang Can's attitude.

Wang Can smiled and said: "Alliance leader, my Hanzhong army has been beaten to pieces, and it is me and Zilong who go to the battlefield, if the alliance leader has any decision, the alliance leader can just give an order, and there is no need to worry about Wang Can." ”

Yuan Shao stroked his short beard under his chin and laughed: "With the words first, Shao will rest assured." ”

After a pause, Yuan Shaocai said leisurely: "First of all, in today's battle, the princes and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the other princes have advised that they should rest for a few days to let the soldiers recover." Therefore, I deliberately went to the camp to see what I thought, and since I supported my decision, let the soldiers rest for a few days. First, Shao had to go to the camps of the other princes and take his leave. ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Wang Can a chance to speak at all, and Yuan Shao got up and left the camp.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

Before the buttocks were hot, Yuan Shao left.

Wang Can looked at Yuan Shao's departing back and sneered in his heart.

How many days to rest?

Rest is fake, I'm afraid it's true that the princes are afraid that their strength will be damaged and they don't want to take the initiative to fight. Moreover, Yuan Shao blocked Wang Can's mouth with words, and directly thought that Wang Can agreed with his decision. It's a pity that Wang Can never thought of avoiding without fighting. If you don't take the initiative to fight with Dong Zhuo and stay in the camp every day to enjoy Qingfu, how can you take advantage of it? How can I get the benefits? There is a way to seek wealth and danger, and if there is no danger, you want to get rich and powerful, and you may not be able to dream of it.

Xun You looked worried, and said: "Lord, you are ready to send troops, and Yuan Benchu is ready to strike the army, how to deal with it?" ”

Guo Jia also looked worried, and thought so.

Wang Can said with a smile: "It's okay, although Yuan Shao is famous, there is nothing to worry about, our base camp is in Hanzhong, Yuan Shao is in Jizhou, we are too far away from Yuan Shao, and there will be no intersection for the time being." You only need to be with Yuan Shaoxu and the snake tail, and after the crusade against Dong Zhuo, this prince alliance leader will be an empty shell, and it is not yet known whether he will be a friend or an enemy at that time. ”

Looking at the confident and calm look on Wang Can's face, Xun You and Guo Jia were relieved.

At this time, Pei Yuanshao walked into the camp tent and said, "Lord, Wang Jianshi is back. ”

"Ziwu is back?" Wang Can looked delighted, stood up from his seat suddenly, and said loudly: "Go, I will go to meet Ziwu in person, if Ziwu does not handle the teacher's affairs in Luoyang this time, we will not be able to fight Dong Zhuo so easily, this battle Ziwu is not small." ”

Pei Yuanshao saw Wang Can stand up, and hurriedly said, "Lord, Master Wang is already outside the camp tent. ”

"Oh, it's all here, let Ziwu come into the camp tent, well, it's better for me to greet you in person!" Wang Can was overjoyed, walked to the door of the tent, saw Wang Gao's big but slightly rickety figure walking in from outside the tent, hurriedly stepped forward, held Wang Yue's hand, and said, "Ziwu, hard work." ”

Wang Yue looked at Wang Can's sincere eyes and happy expression, and his heart was also very moved.

He stood outside the tent and waited for Wang Can's order, and clearly heard what Wang Can said. From the tone of Wang Can's speech, it is enough to see that Wang Can attaches great importance to him. Wang Yue was also very excited, and said loudly: "Serving the lord, it is not hard to be lowly and hard." ”

Xun Yu saw this Wang Yue's excited expression, stroked his beard and smiled.

Seeing this, Guo Jia muttered a sentence that he could only hear: Emperor's mental technique.

Only then did Wang Can let go of Wang Yue's hand and said, "Ziwu, sit down, you have been in Luoyang for nearly three months, tell me in detail about the teacher, and what happened in Luoyang during this time." ”
