Chapter 80: Cutting the grass to the roots
Wang Can snorted and said, "Go ahead, call Zhou Cang after you go out, I have something to discuss with him." ”
"No!" Wang Yue responded, bowed to Wang Can, and left.
At tea time, Zhou Cang wore armor and entered the backyard.
"Lord, what are you looking for?" Zhou Cang strode in and said respectfully with his fists at Wang Can.
Wang Can waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk." ”
"No!"
Zhou Cang walked and sat up, between his words and demeanor, he had a more military demeanor, and in the barracks, the bandit spirit on Zhou Cang's body gradually disappeared, replaced by the courage of a soldier. He lifted the armor in front of him and sat on the wooden pier, his body straight, sitting upright, as if a statue was sitting in front of Wang Can.
Wang Can looked at Zhou Cang and said in a harmonious voice: "You and Pei Yuanshao were the first to follow me, this time I serve as the Taishou of Hanzhong, and the positions of you and Pei Yuanshao should also change." When the officials are convened tomorrow to discuss the matter, you will be named the captain of Fenwei and Pei Yuanshao will be the captain of the Fenwu. ”
After a pause, Wang Can said again: "However, your official position has been promoted, but the soldiers under your command will be reduced, the original six hundred Yellow Turban soldiers are no longer under your control, and the soldiers in Hanzhong are no longer under your jurisdiction." ”
Zhou Cang hurriedly asked, "Lord, why is this?" ”
Thinking that the military power was gone, Zhou Cang's face showed a hint of urgency, if it was according to Wang Can's words, he would rather not be promoted. Now Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao are in command of six hundred Yellow Turban soldiers, as long as they receive Hanzhong soldiers, after the expansion of the military camp, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao can both lead more soldiers, and when the time comes, they will lead the troops and be majestic.
Suddenly hearing Wang Can's words, Zhou Cang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, very anxious.
Wang Can looked at Zhou Cang's expression in his eyes, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry, it's not to cut your rights, I'm going to form a special army alone, led by you and Pei Yuanshao." ”
Zhou Cang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Lord, please speak." ”
At this time, a joy rose in Zhou Cang's heart, he thought that he would be appointed to an official position such as a guard, but now that Wang Can had set up an army alone, led by Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang was extremely happy in his heart.
Wang Can said: "The army that was established separately is called the 'Broken Army'. ”
Zhou Cang asked: "My lord, there are not six hundred Yellow Turban soldiers now, and we are also preparing to recruit more soldiers, why do you want to form a 'broken army'?" ”
Wang Can thought for a moment and asked, "Zhou Cang, have you ever heard of Baima Yicong?" ”
Zhou Cang showed a look of admiration on his face, and said with a straight face: "Bai Ma Yi has never been famous all over the world, of course I have heard of it." Baima Yicong was the first to follow Gongsun Zhan's good archers, and later when Gongsun Chan fought against the Huns, he took those good archers as the original form and formed a light cavalry force to deal with the Huns. Who in the world doesn't know? ”
Wang Can nodded and said: "The white horse is righteous, brave and fierce, and extremely powerful, and I also need such a team." ”
When he spoke, Wang Can looked expectant, he also had to have an elite force of his own. During the Three Kingdoms era, almost every prince had elite troops. For example, Dong Zhuo has the Flying Bear Army, Cao Cao has the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Qingzhou Soldiers, Yuan Shao has 800 Xiandeng Dead Soldiers and Euphorbia Soldiers, Lu Bu has a trap camp, and Liu Bei has Bai'er Soldiers......
Wang Can is now the Taishou of Hanzhong, and he already has the strength to form such a force.
It's just that Wang Can only has two generals, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, and there are no other generals, and Wang Can has no energy to train in person, so he has to hand over the broken military camp to Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to lead.
After hearing this, Zhou Cang looked excited and said: "Thank you for the cultivation of the lord, the last general will definitely not insult the word 'broken army'." ”
Wang Can smiled indifferently, what is the real effect? You have to go through the war to know.
After a pause, Wang Can said, "You and Pei Yuanshao will start recruiting soldiers now and prepare to form a broken military camp." Remember one thing, the soldiers are noble, not many, what is needed to break the barracks is elite soldiers, not bad seeds, the current number of broken barracks is determined to be 400 people, these 400 people, you select 200 people from the 600 Yellow Turban soldiers to integrate into the broken barracks, and the other 200 people are integrated into the broken barracks by recruiting soldiers. ”
"The broken barracks I hope to form is an army that cannot be defeated or dragged down."
"The soldiers in the broken barracks can be tigers, poisonous snakes, or wild wolves...... But the soldiers who broke the barracks must not be of the wrong breed, they must be absolutely elite, and if they can't gather four hundred people, then leave empty seats. ”
As Wang Can spoke, his expression was solemn, and his eyes looked at Zhou Cang, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
Zhou Cang patted his chest and said loudly: "Lord, four hundred broken military camps, the last general will definitely be fully recruited, there will be no one more, and there will be no one less." ”
Wang Can said: "You and Pei Yuanshao discuss the matter of breaking the barracks, but I will tell you a requirement, four hundred soldiers in the broken barracks, every soldier will be equipped with a war horse in the future, so every soldier in the broken barracks must be able to ride, and there can be no soldier who can't ride a horse, this is the most basic requirement." ”
Zhou Cang was stunned and said, "Lord, I'm afraid this is a little difficult?" You know that there is a shortage of war horses, and besides, most of the soldiers don't know how to ride. ”
Wang Can shook his head and said, "I don't care about these things, how to train is your business." If there are difficulties, you have to overcome them, if you don't know how to ride, then study hard, as for the lack of war horses, you don't have to worry, I will prepare four hundred war horses for the broken military camp, and there will never be one missing. ”
"Don't worry, the lord will not disappoint the lord in the end." Zhou Cang clenched his fists and said.
Wang Can snorted and said, "You and Pei Yuanshao discuss the matter of establishing a broken military camp, you can first select two hundred people from the Yellow Turban Soldiers, or you can recruit soldiers first...... You can handle the specific things yourself, and if there is anything that cannot be solved, you can come to me...... Well, you go to Su Mansion and find Pei Yuanshao, I have something to tell him to do. ”
When Zhou Cang heard this, he bowed to Wang Can, and then went to Pei Yuanshao.
It took half an hour for Pei Yuanshao to rush to the backyard of the county guard's mansion.
Pei Yuanshao strode over, and said angrily: "Lord, what are you looking for?" ”
Wang Can asked, "Do you know about the newly built broken barracks?" ”
Pei Yuanshao nodded, patted his chest and said loudly: "Zhou Heizi has told me everything, lord, you can rest assured, Lao Pei, I will not disappoint the lord, in the future, our broken military camp will be more powerful than the 'White Horse Yicong', 'Flying Bear Army', and 'Trapped Camp', you just wait to see the soldiers trained by me and Zhou Heizi." ”
Wang Can smiled: "Okay, it's a good thing to have confidence." Speaking of this, Wang Can changed the topic and asked, "Pei Yuanshao, let me ask you, how many people are in Su Gu's family?" ”
Pei Yuanshao thought for a while and said: "Lord, the servants in Sugu Mansion have all been dismissed, and there are still fifteen people detained in the mansion, of which eight are Sugu's women, two are Sugu's sons, and five are Sugu's daughters, and in addition, there are no other people in Sugu Mansion." ”
"What about Su Zhi's mansion?" Wang Can asked again.
Pei Yuanshao said: "There are more women in Su Zhifu, but there is no son with a handle, except for women, they are still women, and there is no threat." ”
Wang Can's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Pei Yuanshao, I'll give you a task, do you dare to do it?" ”
Pei Yuanshao was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and asked: "Lord, do you mean Su Gu's family ......" Speaking of this, Pei Yuanshao raised his right hand and gestured on his neck.
Wang Can nodded and asked with a smile, "Do you have the guts?" ”
Pei Yuanshao snorted coldly and said: "Lord, when he was in the hall, the last general wanted to suggest that the lord cut down Su Gu and Su Zhi's family to the roots, but he saw that there were too many officials who were opposed, so he didn't speak. ”
Wang Can shook his head and said: "It is still necessary to distinguish the object clearly by cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, Su Zhifu is full of women, give some money, let those women fend for themselves, and disperse." As for Su Gu's mansion, Su Gu's son, you let them die normally, don't show traces, those women don't have to deal with it, deal with it like Su Zhi's women, give some money, and let them live by themselves. ”
"No!" Pei Yuanshao replied with his fists clenched.
Wang Can nodded, then waved his hand, and Pei Yuanshao left.
After watching Pei Yuanshao leave, Wang Can sighed, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Su Gu's family has been dealt with at his discretion, just to get rid of Su Gu's son, this is also what Wang Can has to do, he can't leave himself with trouble, maybe now Wang Can can pinch Su Gu's son to death with one hand, but how many years later, Wang Can can't predict.
Since the future is full of unknowns, it can only be nipped in the bud.
Living in such a troubled world, Wang Can had to do this.
For yourself, but also for the people around you.
