Chapter 254: Ambition
Lu Bu saw that the generals who came to besiege him were all generals in the princes' army, so he made up his mind and prepared to escape.
Once dragged by Zhao Yun, Sun Jian and others, it will be difficult to escape.
Therefore, Lu Bu didn't care about the Xiliang army behind him, and shouted: "Disperse, disperse and escape." β
In an instant, all the Xiliang troops under Lu Bu scattered in all directions, fleeing in all directions. These soldiers of the Xiliang Army only thought about their lives, thinking that there might be a glimmer of life if they fled in all directions, and they didn't think about whether there was a deep meaning in them, and they didn't doubt Lu Bu's motives. But Wang Can saw through Lu Bu's thoughts at a glance, and it was obvious that Lu Bu wanted to use the Xiliang Army to delay him time, drag the army of the princes, and let Lu Bu escape.
If the Xiliang army twists into a rope and breaks through in one direction, it will face a siege by the army of princes.
When all the Xiliang soldiers were broken into pieces and fled in all directions, the power of the princes' army was invisibly dispersed, and the princes' army wanted to kill the Xiliang soldiers, and only by scattering could they exterminate the Xiliang soldiers.
In this case, Lu Bu is also facing less pressure.
Lu Bu patted the back of the red rabbit horse, turned the horse's head, and rushed towards the right side of Wang Can's army. Relying on the speed of the red rabbit horse, Lu Bu quickly threw off Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were catching up from behind. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's war horses had been fighting all night, and their energy was obviously lacking, and it was very difficult to catch up with Lu Bu. At this time, as long as Wang Can gave an order, he could let the soldiers block Lu Bu's way, but Wang Can did not give an order.
Watching Lu Bu shake off the princes and soldiers and escape, a smile flashed on Wang Can's face.
Defeating Lu Bu's Xiliang army, Wang Can's goal has been achieved.
Guo Jia saw that Lu Bu fled easily, with doubts on his face, he looked at Wang Can in confusion, and didn't understand why Wang Can didn't send soldiers to surround Lu Bu. As long as the army surrounds Lu Bu and makes Lu Bu fall into the encirclement of the princes and soldiers, Lu Bu is a tiger with his teeth pulled out, and there is absolutely no possibility of escape.
Wang Can did this, which made Guo Jia very puzzled.
Lu Bu rushed left and right, and finally broke out of the encirclement of the princes' army, and Zhao Yun, Sun Jian and others were also left behind.
Lu Bu looked back at the soldiers who kept coming up, and shouted: "Wang Can, today's shame will be avenged by Benhou in the future." β
After finishing speaking, Lu Bu ignored the screaming and howling Xiliang soldiers behind him, and rode a red rabbit horse without looking back. Hao Meng and Cheng Lian were surrounded by the army of princes and couldn't get out. In the end, Cheng Lian was smashed into a puddle of rotten meat by Pei Yuanshao's mace, and Hao Meng was hit in the head by Huang Gai's iron whip, and Hao Meng was directly killed.
At this point, Lu Bu has become a loner, and he no longer has a confidant.
The Western Liang army was scattered, and although there was a chance to escape, it was easier to be broken by each one.
After LΓΌ Bu fled, the Xiliang army did not support it for a quarter of an hour, and the entire army was annihilated.
Yuan Shao snorted and chased after him, looked at Wang Can, and shouted: "First, Lu Bu fled on a red rabbit horse, why don't you send soldiers to surround Lu Bu, this is a great opportunity to kill Lu Bu, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation." β
Wang Can smiled and said, "Alliance leader, Lu Bu is a puppet, what if he is allowed to return to Dong Zhuo's side?" β
Yuan Shao glared at Wang Can, snorted, and shouted: "The tiger general of Lu Bushi is the first fierce general under Dong Zhuo, if he can kill Lu Bu, it will be of great significance to the army of princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo." Especially after killing Lu Bu, it can hit Dong Zhuo's arrogance even more, and it can also let the ministers in the court know that Dong Zhuo is not terrible, and Dong Zhuo can be defeated. β
Yuan Shao sighed again and again, his face full of regret.
Wang Can said: "Alliance leader, let Lu Bu ride the red rabbit horse back to Dong Zhuo, and he can also hit Dong Zhuo." β
Yuan Shao was aroused by Wang Can's curiosity and asked, "Oh, why is this?" β
Wang Can said: "Lu Bu rode back to Dong Zhuo's side alone, embarrassed, it can be said that he lost the face of the Xiliang Army, imagine what kind of expression Dong Zhuo would have after seeing Lu Bu's embarrassed expression?" Can guessed that Dong Zhuo would definitely be angry, and at the same time, Dong Zhuo would also be afraid of the power of the princes' army, which also made Dong Zhuo know that the princes' alliance was powerful and irresistible. β
Yuan Shao listened to Wang Can's words, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "The words of the first are not unreasonable. β
At this time, Wang Can put down his body again and said, "Alliance leader, if there is anything wrong with Wang Can, please punish the alliance leader." β
Wang Can first explained strongly, and now he pleaded guilty to Yuan Shao, one was rigid and one soft, and suddenly the impression in Yuan Shao's heart became better again, making Yuan Shao feel that although Wang Can was a little reckless, he still wanted to make contributions. In addition, Wang Can repeatedly supported Yuan Shao, in Yuan Shao's eyes, Wang Can was a very good subordinate, which made it easy for Yuan Shao to accept Wang Can's apology.
Yuan Shao waved his hand and said: "Okay, it is also a good intention to be the first, although Lu Bu was released, but the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to hold him accountable, the army cleared the battlefield, returned to the camp to rest for a day, and then approached Luoyang." β
Wang Can thanked him: "The leader of the alliance is wise! β
Yuan Shao smiled and left with a smug smile.
Cao Cao walked up to Wang Can's side, lowered his voice and asked, "First, what is your intention in letting Lu Bu go?" β
Wang Can said: "Brother Meng De, didn't I explain? Brother Meng De asked me like this, did he think that Wang Can would collude with Lu Bu, or that there was some ulterior secret between Wang Can and Lu Bu? β
Cao Cao shook his head and said indignantly: "No, I just think you're dizzy." β
Without getting an answer, Cao Cao turned around and left, but Cao Cao turned around, and a cold rush flashed in his eyes.
Wang Can's explanation, Yuan Shao would believe it, but Cao Cao would not.
Cao Cao and Wang Can have been on business for so long, and they know Wang Can's character very well. Cao Cao thought that Wang Can was definitely a master who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles, and Wang Can's own strategy was also very outstanding, so it was impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake. It's a pity that Cao Cao couldn't figure out what Wang Can thought about anyway.
Seeing that Cao Cao did not get an answer, Sun Jian did not come up to ask, and began to return to the camp with his soldiers.
If the army of the princes defeats LΓΌ Bu, they will be able to go straight to Luoyang.
The army returned to camp for a final rest, and then was about to depart for Luoyang.
After Wang Can returned to the camp, Guo Jia hurried to Wang Can's tent, accompanied by Xun You.
In the camp tent, Wang Can sat on the main seat, and Xun You and Guo Jia sat on the left and right sides below. The two came to Wang Can's tent, and Guo Jia took the lead in asking: "Lord, Jia is curious, Lord, you are clever, let go of Lu Bu must have a deep meaning, please solve your doubts." β
Xun You also looked at Wang Can, waiting for Wang Can to explain. Both of them agreed that Lu Bu should be killed and Dong Zhuo's first fierce general, and they didn't believe that Wang Can would make low-level mistakes, waiting for Wang Can to explain.
Wang Can smiled and asked, "Gongda, Fengxiao, do you really want to know?" β
Guo Jia and Xun You nodded again and again, and said, "Well, we all want to know the intentions of the lord. β
When Wang Can heard this, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, since Fengxiao and Gongda want to know why I did this, I will simply tell you all my thoughts." Fengxiao, you go and order Pei Yuanshao to personally guard the camp tent, and no one is allowed to approach the camp tent within one zhang. β
Guo Jia nodded excitedly, got up and hurriedly went to convey Wang Can's order.
After a while, Guo Jia came back again.
After Guo Jia sat down, he and Xun You both showed solemn expressions, and it can be seen from Wang Can that Pei Yuanshao guarded the camp tent and did not allow others to approach the camp tent within a foot of the tent, what Wang Can said must be very important.
Guo Jia said: "Lord, you can say it. β
Wang Can took a deep breath and asked, "Fengxiao, what do you think of Lu Bu?" β
Guo Jia replied: "Be a tiger general!" β
Wang Can asked again, "Gongda, what do you think?" β
Xun You replied: "Jackals! β
Guo Jia and Xun You, both of them gave their own answers. Guo Jia gave his opinion on Lu Bu based on Lu Bu's own ability, and Xun You gave his judgment on Lu Bu based on Lu Bu's character.
Wang Can listened to the answers of the two and said with a smile: "When the Tiger of the World will be fused with the Jackals, he will have ambitions. Lu Bu is ambitious, and it will be an unstable factor to be placed next to Dong Zhuo, as long as he makes suitable guidance, I believe that Lu Bu may rebel against Dong Zhuo. β
"Put Lu Bu back to Dong Zhuo, one is to leave Dong Zhuo with an unstable factor, and the other is to ensure that Dong Zhuo still has enough combat effectiveness."
"I'm just Hanzhong Taishou now, the situation is not big, my own strength is not strong, and I still need enough time to develop steadily and grow my strength. Therefore, for the time being, it is necessary for Lu Bu to return to Dong Zhuo's side, enhance Dong Zhuo's combat effectiveness, and ensure that Dong Zhuo coerces the Son of Heaven so that the princes can stabilize and maintain the temporary peace in the Han world. After our strength grows and grows, there will be no need for Dong Zhuo to exist, at that time, the world can be chaotic, and it is also the time for us to go out of Hanzhong and conquer the world. β
As he spoke, Wang Can's eyes revealed a strange light.
Ambition!
Guo Jia and Xun You both saw the ambition of devouring the sky and the earth in Wang Can's eyes.
After listening to Wang Can's words, Guo Jia and Xun You both understood that what Wang Can needed now was time to develop himself. Only when Dong Zhuo continues to occupy the dynasty can he maintain temporary stability.
Once Dong Zhuo died, the court was in chaos, and then there would be a series of wars.
Therefore, Wang Can wanted to take advantage of the short period of peace to develop and grow himself.
All this is so that Dong Zhuo can benefit from the war after his death. Wang Can's words show a strong and deviant ambition to overthrow the surname Liu.
Guo Jia and Xun You also showed surprised looks, both of them knew that Wang Can would not be willing to be subordinate, but they didn't expect that Wang Can had already begun to plan the way forward, and his scheming city was not deep. However, this situation also makes the two of them more competitive and assist a future emperor, which is more challenging and fulfilling.
Guo Jia took the lead in bowing and said: "The lord is far-sighted, Jia is willing to follow the lord and assist the lord to go straight to the nine heavens!" β
Xun You also bowed: "You are also willing to devote your life to help the lord achieve great things." β
Wang Can laughed, walked up to Guo Jia and Xun You, helped the two of them, and said with a smile: "With the help of Fengxiao and Gongda, I am confident that we can go that far, and I hope we can work together to create a new future!" β
Guo Jia and Xun You looked excited, and said loudly: "I am willing to drive the lord!" β
Wang Can looked at the two with a smile on his face.
This heart-to-heart exchange made Guo Jia and Xun You completely hand over their lives to Wang Can.
From now on, Wang Can will rise, and Guo Jia and Xun You will also rise; Wang Can failed, and Guo Jia and Xun You will also suffer together with Wang Can.
One is prosperous, and one is lost.
