Chapter 5: Battle

Wang Can raised his head, looked at the person who came, with a warm smile on his face, and asked, "Captain Dong, is there anything wrong with the general?" ”

The soldier who came in was Dong Fang, a personal soldier beside Liu Pi, who had been to Wang Can several times.

Dong Fang said respectfully: "The general has something important to ask the adults to discuss?" ”

"Well, let's go, go to the county guard's mansion." Hearing this, Wang Can immediately got up, and at the same time reached out and took out a string of five baht coins from his waist bag, handed it to Dong Fang, and said, "It's a little meaning, Captain Dong took it to buy wine and drink with the brothers!" ”

This is a habit that Wang Can has developed, as long as it is someone sent by Liu Pi and Gong Du, he will give a little money.

Dong Fang didn't shirk either, took Wang Can's five-baht money with a smile, checked it, and put it in his pocket.

Every time Dong Fang comes to Wang Can, he will have money for drinking, which is why Dong Fang and the soldiers who followed Liu Pi are willing to come to Wang Can to report the news. After receiving the money, Dong Fang was no longer reserved, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the news from the brothers in the county guard mansion seems that there are officers and soldiers rushing to Runan City. ”

Wang Can was shocked, but with a smile on his face, he said, "Thank you, Captain Dong!" ”

Wang Can's guess was right, the disappeared officers and soldiers were not afraid of Liu Bi and Gong Du, but were brewing a more ferocious offensive. With the defeat of the officers and soldiers last time, this attack is definitely not comparable to the last one. Thinking of this, Wang Can couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart, with a trace of worry.

Seeing that Wang Can stopped talking, Dong Fang somewhat guessed a little bit of what Wang Can had in his heart.

Not only Wang Can, but even Liu Pi and Gong are all worried, not to mention Wang Can!

Today's world is no longer a shout, and the leaders of the 36 parties in Kyushu have responded, and the momentum is immense. The current Yellow Turbans are just a group of Yellow Turban thieves that everyone shouts and beats. No matter which way the princes are, they all want to defeat the Yellow Turbans to establish meritorious achievements, or to subdue the Yellow Turbans to strengthen their own power.

The two of them didn't say anything all the way and went straight to the county guard's mansion.

In the county guard's mansion, Gong Du and Liu Pi looked solemn, their faces were melancholy, and they sighed for a long time.

When Dong Fang and Wang Can arrived at the county guard's mansion, Dong Yi left, and Wang Can stood outside the hall, straightened his clothes, and then entered the living room. Seeing that Liu Pi and Gong Du, who were sitting at the top of the hall, looked depressed, Wang Can's heart was even heavier, it seemed that the situation was very bad, and he saluted the two and said, "Wang Can greets the two generals!" ”

Liu Pi's eyelids lifted and he didn't speak.

Gong Du sighed, waved his hand and said, "Find a place to sit by yourself!" ”

"No!" Wang Can answered, turned around and glanced at everyone in the hall, all of them looked worried, and they all shook their heads and sighed, as if the end of the world was coming, it seemed that Liu Bi and Gong had already told the officers and soldiers the news that they were going to attack the city on a large scale, his eyes stayed on Liu Li for a while, and then flashed away again, Liu Li seemed to know that Wang Can glanced at him, raised his head, stared at Wang Can, hehe sneered, and his eyes showed resentment.

Wang Can sneered in his heart, but he ignored Liu Li, just a clown.

He walked to the left corner of the hall, took off his robe and sat down, and at this time a few centurions and lieutenants entered the living room, and these captains and centurions showed surprised expressions, obviously not knowing what was happening. After all the people arrived, Liu Bicai said: "The scouts have sent news that the officers and soldiers are attacking in a big way. ”

"Officers and soldiers?" A centurion in the living room suddenly stood up and said, "General, aren't they just officers and soldiers who are attacking?" It's not a matter of one or two times, what is there to hesitate about, just send troops directly. ”

This person obviously didn't know the exact news, and only thought that it was an ordinary officer and soldier encircling and suppressing the yellow scarf.

Liu Bi shook his head and said, "This time is different, the person who led the army is Bao Hong, one of the eight captains of the West Garden. ”

"Bao Hong?" Wang Can wondered for a while, what kind of character is this Bao Hong, does the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden have such a person? But he recovered in an instant, in such a magnificent era as the Three Kingdoms, there are not a few people with great talent and great talent but who are unknown.

In any era, there is no shortage of unknown people, but they have the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes.

"General, who is this Bao Hong?" Wang Can stood up and asked respectfully.

Liu Bi said: "Speaking of this Bao Hong is not a person, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty once served as the captain of the Tun Cavalry, and later Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in order to suppress the Yellow Turban, he set up the Eighth Captain of the West Garden, and Bao Hong is one of the Eight Captains of the West Garden, although Bao Hong is the Eighth Captain, but he is not worthy of the name, he is really a mediocre talent, and he was defeated by the Yellow Turban, and he did not dare to fight. ”

Wang Can frowned slightly, since Bao Hong is a mediocre talent, what else do you have to worry about.

Liu Bi seemed to see through Wang Can's thoughts, and said: "Of course, a Bao Hong is not worth worrying about, but this time Bao Hong joined forces with Yuan Shu, the two alliances, and prepared to attack Runan together, which is what Ben will worry about the most." Especially Yuan Shu actually sent his general Ji Ling to attack Runan, this person is brave and fierce, and a three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand is extremely powerful, even if I join forces with Gong Heizi to fight against Ji Ling, it is not his opponent. ”

Wang Can's heart sank, but he asked quietly: "General, I don't know where Yuan Shu and Bao Hong's army has gone?" ”

Liu Pi said: "Well, calculate the time, they should go to Gepo, more than 100 miles southeast of Runan City." ”

"Got to Gepo?" Wang Can pondered for a moment, with a hint of determination in his eyes, and said in a loud voice: "General, please fight." ”

"You want to fight?" Liu Pi looked surprised, his whole body trembled, he stood up suddenly, and asked, "Are you sure that you are going to lead the troops to Gepo?" ”

Gong Du also stood up, with a look of consternation: "Wang Can, are you sure you want to lead the troops to battle?" ”

"Yes, humiliation and war!"

Wang Can looked firm and said resolutely. Since Dong Fang told Wang Can that the officers and soldiers were coming, Wang Can had already begun to think about inviting troops to fight. If he wants to quickly gain a firm foothold in the yellow scarf, from a small soldier to a lieutenant and a general, and then control his own destiny, he must take the initiative to fight and establish military exploits.

"Good, good, good, Wang Centurion is a real man, my old Liu admires."

Just when everyone grew their mouths and was shocked that Wang Can took the initiative to fight, Liu Li stood up and praised loudly, with a happy look on his face, his eyes turned straight, and he looked at Wang Can as if he was looking at a dead man. In fact, all the generals in the hall were not optimistic about Wang Can, including Gong Du and Liu Pi.

However, Liu Bi and Gong Du admired Wang Can's courage, and they had a better impression of Wang Can in their hearts.

Liu Pi's eyes fell on Liu Li, he smiled, and said without yin or yang: "Liu Li, you admire Wang Can so much, do you also plan to lead troops to fight and take the initiative to attack Bao Hong and Ji Ling?" ”

Liu Li looked stunned in surprise, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, the last general does not have the courage of Centurion Wang." ”

Liu Bi's face sank, and he scolded coldly: "Since you don't dare to fight, don't talk so much nonsense, step down, don't open your mouth if you don't let you speak, if you don't speak, others won't treat you as dumb." ”

Liu Li smiled, returned to his seat, and glanced at Wang Can viciously, wishing that Wang Can would die immediately. His heart was full of hatred for Wang Can, because of Wang Can, he was scolded by Liu Pi and Gong Du, and looked down on by the generals in the barracks.

Liu Bi turned his gaze to Wang Can and said: "If you want to fight, the general will not stop you, because there may be a glimmer of life if you take the initiative to fight, and the grain and grass, weapons, and war horses will be fully supplied to you, so that you have no worries." Well, I heard that there are not yet a hundred soldiers under your command, so what do you think, Ben will make an exception for you to select elite soldiers from other centurions and add them to your soldiers? If you have any other requests, they will also be put forward, and as long as they are within your ability, they will be agreed to you. ”

Wang Can said gratefully: "Thank you for the general's kindness, the lowly post only needs enough food and weapons, and the selection of soldiers is not necessary, the soldiers under the lowly post have been running in for a period of time, and there is already a certain tacit understanding, if the soldiers are re-selected to join the team, it will take a certain amount of time to run in, but it is not beautiful." ”

Liu Bi smiled and said, "Whatever you want, okay, you go and prepare." ”

While speaking, Liu Pi had a hint of frustration in his words, Wang Can shook his head in his heart, cowardly before fighting, and defeated himself without a fight. With a serious face, he arched his hand at Liu Pi and said, "Thank you, general, retire from your humble position!" ”
