Chapter 196: Right Pioneer Wang Can
The next day, the Tiger Prison closed the chamber.
All the princes sat in the hall, waiting for Yuan Shao to speak.
The princes of all walks of life knew exactly what it was, because almost all of them got the news.
Yuan Shao's eyes swept over the princes and said, "I summoned you here today for Dong Zhuo's affairs, and you must have all received the news of Dong Zhuo's troops. Dong Zhuo's army attacked, the momentum was violent, but our princes' allies were also high-spirited, brave and invincible, I planned to go straight to the Xiliang army, and the Xiliang army confronted each other, defeating Dong Zhuo in a battle. ”
Speaking of this, Yuan Shao clenched his fists, punched lightly on the desk, and shouted: "This battle is decided by a battle!" ”
However, no one spoke out to echo Yuan Shao.
The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping.
"What? No one wants to fight? Yuan Shao asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth. As he spoke, Yuan Shao's eyes looked at Sun Jian, and his eyes seemed to say: Every time you are a pioneer, this time you will also fight.
Sure enough, Sun Jian stood up with a smile, clenched his fists and shouted: "Alliance leader, I am willing to be a pioneer!" ”
Yuan Shao nodded and smiled: "Okay, the leader of this alliance orders Changsha Taishou Sun Jian to be the vanguard!" ”
Such a scene is diametrically opposed to the silent scene just now, as if Sun Jian and Yuan Shao had discussed it.
At this time, Wang Can stood up and saluted Yuan Shao, and said, "Alliance leader, Can is also willing to be the vanguard and go out with General Sun to attack Dong Zhuo!" ”
Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he saw that Wang Can actually took the initiative to ask for battle.
Now the army of the princes belongs to Wang Can with the least number of soldiers, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is quite strong.
With Wang Can's 400 broken military camps and 400 Han soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the vanguard army can increase a lot.
Yuan Shao glanced at Sun Jian and then at Wang Can, weighing how to make a decision in his heart. After a moment of silence, Yuan Shao finally showed a smile on his face, and thought of a foolproof plan, he said loudly: "Although Wang Taishou's army was damaged, he still did not forget the heart of serving the country, okay, Wang Taishou also fought as a vanguard army, and the leader of this alliance ordered Sun Jian to be the left vanguard, Wang Can to be the right vanguard, and each leader of the soldiers under his command went straight to the Xiliang army!" ”
"No!"
Sun Jian and Wang Can drank at the same time, and the two smiled at each other and returned to their seats.
Wang Can took the initiative to ask for battle, which was also well thought out. has been staying in the rear of the army, and the soldiers under his command will always be only more than 800 people, and there is no chance to expand the soldiers at all. And with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in person, it is impossible to reap benefits from it, just like the attack on the Tiger Pass, Yuan Shao was frustrated three times and twice, and finally entrusted the matter to Cao Cao and Wang Can, and Cao Cao threw the matter to Wang Can, and Wang Can completed it alone.
The Tiger Prison Pass was conquered, and the biggest credit was Yuan Shao, followed by Cao Cao, and finally Wang Can.
This kind of thing is not as good as Wang Can doing it alone.
Although Wang Can is a vanguard army and opens the way for the army, he does not necessarily have to be a pioneer.
What specific decisions to make is not something that Yuan Shao can decide. There is a way that the general is outside, and the monarch's order is not subject to it, even if Yuan Shao gives an order in the rear, Wang Can can also ignore it and use other excuses to perfunctory things.
Wang Can took the initiative to ask for the war, just to make profits from it and expand his strength.
Returning to his seat, Cao Cao asked in a low voice: "First, you will be the ...... of the vanguard army with insufficient troops."
As soon as Cao Cao said half of his words, Wang Can interrupted: "Thank you Brother Meng De for your concern, but Brother Meng De doesn't have to worry, I have my own opinions." This attack on Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army is likely to be the last battle, if I have been nesting in the rear army camp and missed such an opportunity, I will regret it in my heart. ”
Wang Can will indeed regret it, but it is not that he regretted not participating in the crusade against Dong Zhuo.
regretted it because of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Wang Can was busy, but he didn't get any benefits, wouldn't it be a big loss.
Cao Cao shook his head and finally did not speak.
He is different from Wang Can, Wang Can has cavalry under his command, which is suitable for charging into battle. Cao Cao's command is full of infantry, and he can't be used as a vanguard army at all, so he can only fight with the army, and although Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan's martial arts are good, Cao Cao also knows that the martial arts of the Xiahou brothers are still some hot.
On the right side of the hall, Gongsun Zhan saw that Sun Jian and Wang Can were both asking for battle, and they also stood up.
Liu Bei saw that Gongsun Zhan was going to fight, and he was overjoyed in his heart.
If Gongsun Zan is the vanguard, Liu Bei can also take Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to show their skills and emerge.
The princes from all walks of life crusaded against Dong Zhuo, although Liu Bei also participated in it, but Liu Bei's three brothers were almost hidden in the snow, and did not play their due combat effectiveness. Later, Huaxiong fought, and Guan Yu was ready to ask for battle, but was disturbed by Wang Can; Later, when Wang Can opened the Tiger Prison and closed the city gate, Liu Bei and the others had no chance to go into battle at all.
It can be said that Liu Bei and the three of them are almost air.
Except for the occasional battle on the battlefield, he never gave full play to the ability of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's peerless generals.
If Gongsun Chan becomes the vanguard, the three of them can also show their skills. Moreover, this time the two armies clashed, and the princes' allies directly engaged Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers, and the people who watched the battle were not only Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other princes, but also big thieves like Dong Zhuo, as long as they behaved well, it was easy to stand out.
"Alliance leader, Gongsun Chan also asks for battle, willing to be the vanguard!"
As Liu Bei expected, Gongsun Zhan went out to ask for battle, wanting to be the vanguard like Wang Can and Sun Jian.
However, the outcome of the matter was not decided by Liu Bei, but by Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao listened to Gongsun Zhan's words, didn't think about it, and immediately refused: "General Gongsun, the vanguard army has Wang Taishou and General Sun is enough, and the 'White Horse Yicong' under the command of General Gongsun is brave and good at fighting, and it is an elite warrior who charges into battle, and when it comes to fighting with Dong Zhuo's army, General Gongsun's 'White Horse Yicong' and the cavalry under the command of the alliance lord form a large army on the left and right wings, and they rush to kill Dong Zhuo's army together." ”
"No!"
Gongsun Chan listened to Yuan Shao's explanation, did not hesitate, and retreated directly.
Since Yuan Shao had already made arrangements, Gongsun Chan didn't need to think about other things.
When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed slightly.
The left and right flanks are cavalry, and when they rush to kill, the individual's ability is minimal. Even though Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are superb in martial arts, the difficulty of showing their faces has increased a lot. It's a pity that Liu Bei is just a knife and pen official, he has no real power, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to sit in the hall.
Yuan Shao saw that no one objected, and his heart was also settled.
The vanguard army and the left and right flank armies have been arranged, and the lineup of the army can almost be determined. After fighting with Dong Zhuo, defeating Dong Zhuo's army, capturing or killing Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao had the capital to preside over the government.
"Everyone, the army will set off today, let's all go back and prepare!"
Yuan Shao smiled, his voice was thick and loud, and his tone was confident and calm, as if Dong Zhuo was already the prey that was about to arrive.
The princes bowed their hands to Yuan Shao and left one after another.
