Hanzhong soldier camp, in the big tent.

Wang Can, Guo Jia, and Xun Youbin sat down, and all three of them frowned, their expressions a little solemn.

Seeing that the two were silent, Wang Can said: "You should all understand the current situation, Huaxiong was killed by Zilong, the morale of the Xiliang soldiers was low, and Li Dao once again avoided without fighting. Although the morale of the allied forces was greatly boosted and the momentum was high, but after the night attack on the Tiger Prison Pass, the princes were a little afraid of Li Dao's methods, thinking about how to preserve their strength, and were unwilling to storm the Tiger Prison Pass. ”

Xun You shook his head, not knowing how to answer.

Li Dao is forbearing, good at defending and attacking, and he can't avoid difficulties when he encounters them, and the princes are afraid of being calculated by Li Dao again and are afraid to move forward.

Deadlocked!

Li Dao avoided but did not fight, and the princes were afraid to move forward and were unwilling to storm the Tiger Pass. Li Dao did not fight, the princes were unwilling to attack, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and no one was willing to take the lead in breaking this balance. Li Dao is stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, standing in a geographical advantage, easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus the grain and grass can be continuously escorted from Luoyang to the Tiger Prison Pass, but the princes and allies have countless mouths waiting to eat, the daily cost of money and food can not be calculated, if the situation between the two sides is deadlocked, the disadvantage must be the princes and allies.

Wang Can saw Xun You shaking his head, and his eyes turned to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia raised his head, met Wang Can's expectant gaze, smiled bitterly, and shook his head.

In a hurry, Guo Jia couldn't think of any good way, and this matter had to be discussed in the long run.

"Eh......"

Wang Can sighed in his heart, thinking about how to capture the Tiger Prison Pass.

In the romance, the Tiger Prison Pass was not actually breached, but Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, and the princes and allies had the opportunity to enter Luoyang. Wang Can is most proud of grasping the general trend of the world and knowing the future trend, with these, Wang Can can make it easier to lay out and make profits, if history turns, he will lose his advantage.

Wang Can still needs enough time to grow.

It's just that the shepherd guards are too guarded, and the foundation is still too poor.

Just when the three of them were in deep thought, there were steady footsteps outside the big tent, and I saw Zhao Yun striding in and said, "Lord, Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang to invite the lord to discuss matters, does the lord want to go?" ”

"Yan Liang came in person?" Wang Can thought for a while and said, "Go, of course you have to go!" ”

Before he finished speaking, Wang Can stood up and walked towards the outside of the big tent.

Yuan Shao was hit, now is the time to make friends with Yuan Shao, of course Wang Can will not let go of such an opportunity.

Out of the camp, Wang Can saw Yan Liang outside the camp wearing black armor, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, waiting for Wang Can to come out. Wang Can was a little surprised when he thought that Yan Liang actually came to invite him in person. When he was a foot away from Yan Liang, Yan Liang hugged his fist at Wang Can and said, "Yan Liang meets Wang Taishou!" ”

Wang Can waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Yan, why do you come to invite me, the alliance leader has something to do, can't you just send soldiers to pass the word." ”

When Yan Liang heard this, he grinned and showed a kind smile, and said angrily: "This is the lord's order, Yan Liang just came to convey the lord's order." ”

Wang Can was stunned, and secretly sighed in his heart that Yan Liang's mouth was very tight, and he couldn't speak.

The two of them walked one after the other towards Yuan Shao's camp.

Along the way, there was silence.

"Wang Taishou, the Lord is just in the big tent, please!" Hua Xiong led Wang Can to the door of Yuan Shao's big tent, stood outside the big tent, and did not continue to go inside. Just as Wang Can was about to step into the camp, Cao Cao's shout came from behind him, Wang Can looked back, and saw Cao Cao and a sturdy man wearing armor and a tiger's back walked over.

The strong man obviously knew Yan Liang, and bowed slightly towards Yan Liang, and stayed outside the big tent like Yan Liang.

"First, please!"

Cao Cao walked to the big tent and waved his hand.

Wang Can's eyes fell on the strong man beside Cao Cao, stayed for a moment, and sighed in his heart, looking at the expression that this person showed when he saw Yan Liang, as well as the height and size of this person, it should be Wen Chou, the general under Yuan Shao. The ugly face of the text is related to the name, and there is some hatred and hideousness, which makes people fearful. Especially the cold aura emanating from Wen Chou's body made people tremble unconsciously.

"Brother Mengde, please!"

Wang Can came back to his senses and waved his hand to signal Cao Cao to invite first.

Cao Cao did not refuse, opened the big tent, walked in, and the two entered Yuan Shao's big tent one after the other.

In the tent, Yuan Shao's expression was decadent, his eyes were bloodshot, and the whole person exuded a disheartened atmosphere. Thinking about it, Yuan Shao has also been hit repeatedly, and his ability to bear it is limited, and he is a little lazy. Yuan Shaowang saw Cao Cao and Wang Can walking into the big tent one after another, and said with a forced smile: "Meng De, first, sit down!" ”

The voice is hoarse and makes people sound very tired.

"Alliance leader, what did you discuss with me and Wei Wei in a hurry?"

Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao's expression and sighed secretly in his heart.

When Yuan Shao served as the leader of the alliance, he was so high-spirited, full of ambition, and his body exuded the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, but now he actually showed a decadent and depressed expression, it was really a white cloud and a dog, and the world was unpredictable. Or that Yuan Shao is not suitable to be the leader of the alliance at all, so he ended up like this.

Yuan Shao stared at Cao Cao and said, "Meng De, I want you to be the leader of the alliance, do you think it?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he seemed to have been stung by a bee on his buttocks, and he stood up suddenly, he walked to the center of the tent, lifted his robe, knelt on one knee, and said, "Alliance leader, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that he doesn't believe in Cao Cao and thinks that Cao Cao's mind is not pure? ”

Yuan Shao trembled and walked down, helped Cao Cao up, and said, "Mengde, get up, get up and speak." ”

Helping Cao Cao up, Yuan Shao continued: "You and I have known each other since childhood, and we have a good relationship, but there is also competition, and we all want to compare each other. You wrote widely and called on the princes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo. Accept your affection, I served as the leader of the princes' alliance, but after so many days, I couldn't even overcome the small tiger prison pass, needless to say, I myself felt ashamed and didn't dare to face my father and fellow villagers. Meng De, let you be the leader of the alliance, I hope you can preside over the overall situation, conquer the tiger prison, and get rid of Dong Zhuo. ”

Wang Can sat next to him and watched the affectionate exchange between the two with cold eyes.

To Yuan Shao's words, Wang Can sneered in his heart, if Yuan Shaoken gave up the position of alliance leader, the sun would rise in the west.

As for Cao Cao, Wang Can believed that Cao Cao definitely wanted to be the leader of the alliance.

It's just that Yuan Shao is still alive, Cao Cao will not sit in the position of the leader of the alliance, Wang Can believes that Cao Cao is a person who understands and can see Yuan Shao's thoughts clearly. Maybe Yuan Shao at this moment is embarrassed, on the surface he looks decadent and depressed, as if he is a person in the twilight, but there must be a dormant tiger hidden in this decadent body, once he touches the bottom line of the tiger, what he suffers is definitely the fierce and domineering claws of the tiger.

The position of the leader of the alliance is the bottom line and reverse scale in Yuan Shao's heart.

Wang Can watched the two of them arguing, shook his head secretly, and couldn't help laughing.

Cao Cao saw Wang Can's expression, and hurriedly glanced at Wang Can, asking Wang Can to give Yuan Shao a step down.

Wang Can comprehended it, and he was not embarrassed by Cao Cao, stood up and said: "Alliance leader, you are the commander jointly elected by all the princes, and this cannot be changed. Whether it is Meng De, or me, or Yuan Highway, Gongsun Zhan, Kong Rong and others have no ability to convince the princes of all walks of life, only the alliance leader can preside over the overall situation. ”

"Li Dao is cunning and forbearing, avoiding it, we are only temporarily encountering difficulties, as long as we persist in working hard, we will definitely achieve victory, the alliance leader will not say frustrating words, sigh, what we have to do now is to lift our spirits, cheer up, and find a way to overcome the tiger prison!"

When Wang Can spoke, he felt goosebumps all over his body.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao deserved it, and his good impression of Wang Can in his heart rose sharply.

At a critical time, you have to support Wang Can.

Wang Can's soldiers have collapsed, and they are not qualified to serve as the leader of the alliance, and when these words came out of Wang Can's mouth, there was no suspicion of contrivedness, and Yuan Shao felt that this was the truth.

Alliance leader, he has to do it.

Yuan Shao's tragic drama is to retreat into advance, just to win over Cao Cao and Wang Can.

The next step is Yuan Shao's real purpose.

PS: The third one.
