Chapter 216: Recruiting Gao Shun (I)

In the camp, Wang Can has a big tent.

When the army under Wang Can and Sun Jian returned to the camp, it was already dawn.

After Sun Jian arranged the soldiers guarding the camp, he returned to the camp to rest.

Wang Can sat in the tent, still not asleep. Gao Shun and the 500 soldiers in the camp who were imprisoned in the camp were already in Wang Can's hands, and they were at Wang Can's disposal. And what Gao Shun was threatened by Wang Can completely made Lu Bu die for Gao Shun. Up to now, how to successfully recover Gao Shun is in front of Wang Can's eyes, if Gao Shun cannot be subdued, the 500 trap camp will not be able to become a force under Wang Can's command.

If you want to subdue the soldiers in the trapped camp, you must first subdue Gao Shun.

Therefore, after Wang Can returned to the camp, he began to think about Gao Shun's affairs.

Just as Wang Can was deep in thought, the sound of steady footsteps came slowly from far and near outside the tent.

After a while, the curtain of the tent was lifted. Zhao Yun was wearing silver-white armor and a long sword hanging from his waist, and strode in. After a busy night, Zhao Yun's eyes were red and his eyes were a little puffy, but his face showed a happy look. One night, Lu Bu's camp was burned down, and the vanguard army was beaten to pieces, and Zhao Yun couldn't help but be unhappy with such a record.

Zhao Yun saluted Wang Can and said, "Lord! ”

Wang Can raised his head and smiled and asked, "Zilong, I've been busy all night, and I haven't rested yet." ”

Zhao Yun said: "The lord has been busy all night, and he hasn't rested yet. ”

Wang Can smiled: "Okay, don't talk this nonsense, is there anything wrong?" ”

Zhao Yun nodded, and arched his hand: "Lord, Gao Shun let the last general pass the word, he has something to say to the lord." ”

Wang Can exclaimed in surprise and said, "Gao Shun actually took the initiative to talk to me...... Hehe, it seems that Gao Shun can't bear it anymore, Zilong, you can bring him in. ”

"No!"

Zhao Yun responded with a fist clenched, then turned around and left the tent.

Wang Can watched Zhao Yun leave the tent, squinted his eyes slightly, and his face regained calm, he thought that Gao Shun would definitely be stable, but he didn't expect Gao Shun to take the initiative to talk to him, could it be that Gao Shun couldn't bear it anymore and was going to have a showdown?

If that's the case, that's a good thing.

After a while, Gao Shun entered the camp alone.

In the tent, Gao Shun lifted his robe and sat at the head of the left side, his face a little embarrassed.

Staring at Wang Can, Gao Shun's eyes showed raging anger, and what Wang Can did made Gao Shun's calm heart unable to calm down. He said in a deep voice: "Wang Taishou, Gao Shun is a layman, he has no virtue and no talent, but he is just a junior general under the command of the lord. Wang Taishou has such a fierce general as Zhao Yun, why has he repeatedly teased Gao Shun, if Wang Taishou wants Gao Shun to surrender, and asks Wang Taishou to die early, it is impossible for Gao Shun to turn his back on the lord and surrender to Wang Taishou. ”

Wang Can smiled, didn't follow Gao Shun's words, and asked instead: "Gao Shun, the matter has come to this, you don't want to submit to me, what are you going to do?" ”

Gao Shun raised his head and said to himself: "Where to go is Gao Shun's business, and I don't want Wang Taishou to think about Gao Shun." ”

Wang Can was not angry, and continued: "Okay, you can think about your own affairs. However, I will ask you one thing, even if I release you and the trapped camp, what are you going to do with the trapped camp soldiers? Did he take five hundred soldiers from the camp to join the other princes? Or return to Lu Bu with five hundred soldiers from the trapped camp, if you return to Lu Bu, I believe that Lu Bu will accept the trapped camp no matter how much he hates you, but will Lu Bu accept you? ”

Gao Shun gritted his teeth, and his face was cloudy.

What Wang Can said, Gao Shun can also understand.

Gao Shun was not a person from the Qin Dynasty, and he never considered surrendering to other princes in his heart.

As for returning to Lu Bu's side, Gao Shun didn't think about it. But at night, he chased and killed Lu Bu with Wang Can, killed so many Xiliang soldiers, and let Lu Bu flee in embarrassment, something like this happened, even if Lu Bu could accept the soldiers in the camp, but Lu Bu would definitely guard Gao Shun and refrigerate Gao Shun, and it was impossible to re-accept Gao Shun as a confidant.

Gao Shun was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I am willing to take the soldiers in the camp to retreat to the mountains and forests, and do not ask about the world." ”

"Hahaha...... Retreat? Don't ask about the world? Funny, funny......"

Wang Can laughed loudly, a look of disdain on his face.

Seeing this, Gao Shun scolded: "I retreat to the mountains and forests, does Wang Taishou think it's funny?" ”

"It's funny, I think you're selfish!" Wang Can sneered and said, "Although you Gao Shun is the commander of the trapped camp, can you make decisions on behalf of the soldiers in the trapped camp?" Do you have the right to keep them in obscurity with you for the rest of their lives? Do you have the right to deprive them of their chance to get ahead? You yourself don't have the idea of sealing your wife and son, don't the soldiers of the 500 camps have such an idea, and your choice to retreat to the mountains and forests is nothing more than your own wishful thinking and selfishness. ”

Gao Shun's face was full of consternation, and he was speechless by Wang Can's refutation.

Wang Can's words directly hit the weakness in Gao Shun's heart.

Ordinary people enlist in the army, and some of them are to solve the problem of food and clothing, and they are not threatened; Some people are forced to enlist in the army; Some people are trying to seal their wives and children and get ahead. There may be soldiers in the camp who are willing to be plain and obscure, but there is definitely no shortage of soldiers who are ambitious and want to make a name for themselves.

As Wang Can said, Gao Shun did not have the right to make decisions for the soldiers.

Wang Can struck while the iron was hot and continued: "I know that you will not lead the soldiers of the trapped camp to defect to other princes, but even if you return to Lu Bu's camp with the soldiers of the trapped camp, it is impossible to get Lu Bu's reuse. Lu Bu's vanguard army was killed and wounded, and he would definitely be punished by Dong Zhuo, plus Lu Bu was chased and killed by you for another night, the two situations were superimposed, with Lu Bu's character, he must hate you in his heart, and it is impossible to accept you again, and he will not be reused when he returns to Lu Bu. Instead of that, why don't you submit to me and do something great with me? ”

When Gao Shun heard this, he still shook his head.

Wang Can didn't think about it, and continued: "Lu Bu is arrogant, he thinks he is the first in the world, there is no one in his eyes, his character is only suitable for generals, and it is impossible to become a prince. You are a smart person, and after staying under Lu Bu for such a long time, you can also see that Lu Bu will never be able to achieve great things. Besides, Lu Bu has a repetitive personality and cronyism, take the killed Wei Xu as an example, Wei Xu's ability is not strong, and he is far from you, but Wei Xu is Lu Bu's relative, so he can be reused, and even if you lead the camp, but Lu Bu really reuses you, obviously not. ”

After Gao Shun listened, he was silent.

In the clear eyes, the black eyeballs kept turning.

Wang Can said a big call, but Gao Shun still didn't say anything.

Wang Can took a deep breath, obviously the current situation is very critical, Gao Shun did not continue to refute, he had already relented, as long as he could go further, he would be able to convince Gao Shun.

Wang Can thought for a while and continued to persuade: "Gao Shun, you have both ability and political integrity, both civil and military, and you are a rare talent. With peerless skills, are you willing to live in seclusion silently for a lifetime, and you are willing to let the five hundred trapped camp soldiers follow you to be silent for a lifetime. The man's husband, the horse leather shroud fought on the battlefield, or entered the dynasty as an official, Ze was born by the world, and was rich and noble for the descendants of the family. Since you have a skill, you shouldn't waste it. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Can stood up, walked slowly to Gao Shun, gave a long salute, and said: "What Wang Can did today is to attract General Gao, if there is any offense, please forgive General Gao." ”

After apologizing, Wang Can stood up and continued: "Wang Can is not talented, although he is not as brave and invincible as Lu Bu, he cannot be as invincible as Lu Bu on the battlefield. However, Wang Can has a heart for talents and ambitions, and can also provide a platform for generals to display their talents, so please General Gao and Wang Can work together to create a great cause. ”

Wang Can's eyes were burning, staring at Gao Shun, waiting for Gao Shun's reply.

Whether to submit or not is all in Gao Shun's thoughts.

Gao Shun stared at Wang Can, looking at this man who couldn't guess what he was doing, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

In order to dispel his desire for death, Wang Can did not hesitate to threaten the lives of 500 soldiers in the camp; In order to cut off the possibility of him returning to Lu Bu's command, he threatened the lives of 500 soldiers in the camp, making him show the illusion of returning to Wang Can, and at the same time threatening Gao Shun to kill the Xiliang soldiers.

Such an approach can be described as insidious and disgusting.

But this act was to be able to recruit him, it can be said that Wang Can showed enough sincerity, and it is not an exaggeration to describe Wang Can as Corporal Lixian.

Such a 'corporal of courtesy' and 'unscrupulous' made Gao Shun difficult to figure out.

At this time, Gao Shun's heart was also very complicated, who Lu Bu was, Gao Shun knew very well. Lu Bu's character is also well understood, Lu Bu can betray anyone for the sake of fame and fortune, and at the same time, Lu Bu is also nepotistic and acts with his character. Gao Shun, such a person, also knows that he can't make a big deal, but it is really difficult to get Gao Shun to turn his back on Lu Bu and surrender to Wang Can.

Gao Shun's expression was complicated, and he hesitated in his heart.

However, Wang Can showed enough sincerity, how should he respond?
