Chapter 195: Wang Can's Transformation
Late at night, the tiger prison is closed.
In the wing, the dark yellow flames swayed slightly, and two blurred figures were reflected on the wall.
Wang Can and Xun You sat opposite each other, Xun You looked serious, and Wang Can was sleepy-eyed.
Rubbing his sour eyes, Wang Can looked at Xun You, yawned, and asked angrily: "Gongda, it's been three watches, come to me so late, what's the urgency?" ”
The third watch day, which is calculated as 24 hours, belongs to the time period of 1 o'clock at 23 o'clock.
At this time, most people have already fallen asleep, and Wang Can is no exception.
Xun You hurriedly ran to Wang Can's room and woke Wang Can from his sleep. Although he was woken up when he was asleep, his spirit seemed a little tired, but Xun You came to visit late at night, and there must be something very important, so Wang Can cheered up and waited for Xun You's report.
Xun You sat in the room, in good spirits, as if he was not tired at all.
He slowly took out a letter from his cuff, handed it to Wang Can, and said, "Lord, this is a letter sent by Wang Yue from Luoyang, and it was just delivered to the barracks. I thought that there might be important information in the letter, so I hurried to find the lord, disturbed the lord's rest, and asked the lord's forgiveness! ”
Wang Can waved his hand, indicating that there was no big problem.
"Whew!"
Wang Can tore off the seal on the envelope, opened the envelope, and pulled out the stationery in the envelope. There were several pages in the envelope, Wang Can glanced at ten lines, and the speed of browsing was very fast, and it didn't take long to finish reading the contents of the letter, and then handed the letter in his hand to Xun You.
Xun You took the letter and read it carefully.
The contents of the first and second pieces of paper Xun Yu just glanced at it and skipped it. Because the things recorded on the first and second pieces of letter paper are all about how Wang Yue got Cai Yong out of Luoyang and sent him to Hanzhong. The contents recorded on the back of the letter are all about what Dong Zhuo did in Luoyang and the movements of Dong Zhuo's army.
"Whirring ......"
After a long while, Xun You read the contents of the letter paper and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Immediately, Xun You sighed and said: "Lord, the situation in Luoyang is a bit grim!" ”
Wang Can nodded and said: "Yes, Dong Zhuo is rampant in Luoyang, forcibly expropriating and expropriating, and conniving at the Xiliang soldiers under his command to rob rich merchants and wealthy families, and now the situation in Luoyang is very chaotic......"
Speaking of this, Wang Can raised his eyebrows.
Robbery!
Dong Zhuo connived at the Xiliang soldiers to rob everywhere, doesn't this mean that Dong Zhuo looted money and began to plan to move the capital to Chang'an? However, the envelope did not mention Dong Zhuo's looting of the royal tombs, there should still be some time before the capital was moved, and Dong Zhuo was still thinking about how to defeat the allies.
However, the Xiliang army was really defeated by the allies, and I am afraid that Dong Zhuo is really preparing to move the capital.
"Lord, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? ”
Xun You saw that Wang Can was halfway through his words, and his heart was full of doubts, could there be something wrong?
Wang Can shook his head and didn't say what he thought in his heart. The matter of Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital is still unknown, and he is just alarmist and appalling when he says it. However, Wang Can had a thought in his heart, such a thing would happen sooner or later, and the earlier he prepared, he would be able to seek more benefits from it.
"Gongda, Dong Zhuo took Lu Bu as the vanguard and Li Dao as the general, and raised troops to approach the princes' allies, what do you think?"
Wang Can changed the topic and returned to the last thing mentioned on Wang Yue's envelope.
Xun You thought for a while and said, "From Yi You's point of view, this time Dong Zhuo takes Lu Bu as the vanguard, and there will definitely be no situation of avoiding and not fighting. Lu Bushi's great general, brave and good at fighting, brave and invincible, Dong Zhuo's arrangement must be intended to have an honest confrontation with the princes and the allies, and use Lu Bu to defeat the allies to restore the morale of the Xiliang army. ”
Wang Can nodded, squinting slightly, thinking about Lu Bu's matter.
"Gongda, it's late at night, you go back and rest!" Wang Can waved his hand and said softly.
Xun You arched his hand and said: "Lord, retire!" ”
After finishing speaking, Xun You stood up and left Wang Can's room.
In the room, Wang Can sat quietly alone, disturbed by the content of the letter, there was no sleepiness, Lu Bu's ability, but anyone who knew something about the Three Kingdoms knew very well that Lu Bu's inhuman combat power was incomparable, it was simply a humanoid fighting machine. The Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was sharp and strong, the red rabbit under his crotch was thousands of miles away, coupled with Lu Bu's own martial arts, Wang Can had absolute reason to believe that the current Zhao Yun was not Lu Bu's opponent.
Lu Bu is in the battle, who can stop him?
How to deal with Lu Bu?
How to preserve strength?
How to make a profit from chaos?
All things need to be carefully considered by Wang Can and think clearly, Wang Can only has 800 soldiers now, and basically does not have to fight. But there is one thing that is not good for Wang Can, Wang Can's number is too small to form a large-scale lethality, even if the eight hundred soldiers are not afraid of death and fight bravely, they are still a little behind, after all, the number is small.
It seems that Dong Zhuo's 3,000 flying bear army is all excellent cavalry, and its combat effectiveness is quite strong.
If Wang Can's broken military camp had 1,000 people, Wang Can would be satisfied.
Benefit!
What Wang Can needs now is real and tangible benefits, and the others are too ethereal.
Previously, when Wang Can set out from Hanzhong, what he wanted was to train soldiers and generals, and improve his reputation by crusading against Dong Zhuo. Through the battlefield fighting, the soldiers were indeed trained, fearless of death, brave and brave, but there were only more than 800 people left, and nearly three-quarters of the Hanzhong soldiers were lost, and at the same time, through the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Wang Can's reputation was also gained.
But in the final analysis, Wang Can still didn't get anything.
Grain, grass, soldiers, and money all seem to have been unfounded.
After the battle of Tiger Pass, Wang Can's thinking gradually began to change, and he couldn't seek benefits from it to enhance himself, so Wang Can simply didn't come, and nested in Hanzhong to develop his strength in a low-key manner.
……
Cao Cao's wing room is also brightly lit.
Cao Cao's expression was solemn, holding a letter in his hand, and there was a look of regret in his eyes.
If his suggestion is adopted, when Dong Zhuo has not yet laid out, the allies will take advantage of the great victory to pursue the Xiliang soldiers and come to Luoyang, and they will definitely be able to catch Dong Zhuo off guard. Now that Dong Zhuo has been given the opportunity to dispatch troops, the allies will have to fight against Dong Zhuo's army, and in this case, I don't know how many princes will have other thoughts in their hearts and be afraid.
Cao Cao was angry in his heart, but he couldn't stop it.
He had an opinion on Yuan Shao's insistence on keeping the army in the Tiger Prison Pass, and he was also very unhappy with Wang Can's approach. Obviously, Wang Can also knew the benefits of taking advantage of the victory to pursue, but he supported Yuan Shao to stay in the Tiger Prison Pass.
"Eh, alas, alas!"
Cao Cao sighed again and again, with a helpless look on his face.
The princes from all walks of life raised troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and on the surface they were peaceful, but secretly they were doing their own things and had different thoughts. This situation made Cao Cao very worried in his heart, when the allies faced the strong and fierce Xiliang army, whether all the princes could unite to send troops against Dong Zhuo was a problem that he was about to face.
……
Yuan Shao also got the news, sat on the bed, and couldn't sleep for a long time.
Unlike Cao Cao and Wang Can, Yuan Shao's face was pale and his expression was hideous.
What happened in Luoyang was too different from what Yuan Shao expected, and it could be described as a thousand miles away. According to Yuan Shao's speculation, Dong Zhuo knew that the Xiliang army was defeated, and he would definitely be angry and kill, but Dong Zhuo not only did not get angry, but was very broad-minded, and once again appointed Li Dao as the general, and Li Dao led the army to attack the princes' allies, and at the same time Lu Bu served as the vanguard. Such a thing was completely unexpected by Yuan Shao, which filled Yuan Shao's heart with anger.
The emperor is not dead!
The minister of the DPRK and China is not dead!
Knowing such a situation, Yuan Shao waved his troops to attack Luoyang.
It's a pity that there is no chance for things to happen again, Yuan Shao's own bureau, the bitter fruit in the brewing can only be swallowed by Yuan Shao himself, and now the princes and allies are facing Dong Zhuo's army, and there is only one battle.
……
Like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, many other princes also received news from Luoyang.
The princes of all walks of life began to think about their own affairs in their hearts.
