Chapter 697: The Situation in the North
Wang Can withdrew with his front foot, and Yuan Shu and Lu Bu got the news with their back foot.
However, when Wang Can evacuated Shangyong, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were silent and did not send troops.
There is a way that once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, the last time Wang Can deliberately evacuated Shangyong and lured the two to send troops, but the result was a little trick, and the two fled in embarrassment, and they could not form an army.
To this day, the two are still apprehensive. Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were afraid of Wang Can's plan, how dare they brush Wang Can's tiger whiskers, and simply let Wang Can lead the troops to leave Shangyong. When the two of them got Wang Can is really retreating, and they also left the soldiers to stay in Shangyong City, they regretted it in their hearts.
Wang Can left, and Yuan Shu couldn't sit still.
Yuan Shu sent someone to find Lu Bu, and when Lu Bu arrived, Yuan Shu said anxiously: "General Lu, Wang Can has already evacuated Chang'an, what should we do?" ”
Lu Bu glanced at Yuan Shu, he was a big old man, how could he know what to do?
Yuan Shu saw that Lu Bu didn't say anything, and sighed again and again in his heart.
Yuan Shu's ability is not very good, but as a child of a family, the city government is quite deep. Of course, he knew that Lu Bu was a reckless man, but what he meant by what he said was not to let Lu Bu come up with ideas, but to ask Lu Bu to bring Chen Gong to discuss things. After all, Chen Gong Lu Bu's subordinates, if Yuan Shu was calling and drinking, it was obviously inappropriate, so Lu Bu had to speak.
It's a pity that Lu Bu was stunned and didn't understand the meaning.
Yuan Shu was helpless in his heart, so he had to say directly: "General Lu, why don't you bring Mr. Chen here and discuss countermeasures?" ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense, and immediately sent soldiers to invite Chen Gong.
After Chen Gong came, Yuan Shu was not polite, and asked directly: "Mr. Chen, we got the news that Wang Can left Shangyong City, and the scouts also confirmed that Wang Can really led the troops to leave, and Wang Can also left some soldiers to garrison Shangyong, and now there is no Wang Can in Shangyong City, what should we do?" ”
When Chen Gong heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.
The meaning of Yuan Shu's words is that he wants to send troops, but can Yuan Shu do it? Chen Gong smiled and asked, "Lord Yuan, we have less than five thousand soldiers, do you think we can capture Shangyong City?" ”
Yuan Shu shook his head again and again, indicating that he could not take it.
Shangyong City is the gateway to the east of Yizhou, and the city is strong, and with the forces of Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, it will definitely not be able to take it.
Chen Gong continued: "Wang Can is proficient in the art of war, there are countless civil and military generals under his command, even if Wang Can leaves Shangyong City, he will definitely leave the fierce generals to guard, there are generals under Wang Can's command, we want to capture Shangyong City, I am afraid it will be difficult to climb to the sky." ”
Yuan Shu sighed and said: "As Mr. said, it is indeed as difficult as climbing to the sky!" ”
Chen Gong said: "In this case, why do you want to attack Shangyong City? ”
Yuan Shu stopped talking for a while, he talked to Chen Gong, and he often talked to himself like this, but Lu Bu was a dumbfounder, and he didn't care at all, so he spoke.
Yuan Shu took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Mr. Chen, Wang Candu has already left Shangyong, and we still want to continue to hide in Tibet, is it really ...... Dare to ask sir, is there a way to conquer Shangyong City? Yuan Shu was very aggrieved in his heart, if he continued to hide and did not dare to fight the defenders of Shangyong City, he would go crazy.
Chen Gong smiled and said: "It's not that there is no way, but I don't know if it can be successful!" ”
Lu Bu's eyes lit up and asked, "Gongtai, what can you do?" ”
At this time, Yuan Shu was very unhappy in his heart, he had just pried something out of Chen Gong's mouth, and he was preempted by Lu Bu, it was too hateful. Yuan Shu glanced at Lu Bu, secretly clenched his fists, and immediately released them again.
Chen Gong Zhengse said: "There is only one way, to form the princes outside and attack Wang Can!" ”
Yuan Shu said: "We passed by Runan and Nanyang, and Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu disagreed, so what can we do? ”
Chen Gong sneered twice and said, "Lord Yuan and the lord want to attack Shangyong, which is something that they know they can't do, since this is the case, why don't you persuade the two of you?" Especially Liu Bei, this person has two tiger generals under the command of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, although these two people are not famous, they are also brave and useful. ”
When Lu Bu heard that he was going to invite Liu Bei, his expression was a little unhappy.
He directly seized Liu Bei's Xuzhou, but now he wants to invite Liu Bei, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!
Chen Gong caught a glimpse of Lu Bu's expression, sighed that Lu Bu was difficult to achieve, and persuaded him: "My lord, at this time, at that time, after Liu Bei occupied Runan, he had already freed up his hands to stabilize the situation in Yuzhou, and he was definitely willing to send troops." ”
Lu Bu was a little reluctant in his heart, but he didn't speak.
Yuan Shu didn't care so much, and said directly: "Since Mr. Chen has this plan, he will use Mr. Chen as an envoy to go to Yuzhou to persuade Liu Bei to lead the troops to join the alliance." I hope that Mr. Chen will go to Runan and successfully persuade Liu Bei. As for Zhang Xiu, after having Liu Bei, it doesn't matter anymore, it depends on the situation! ”
After finishing speaking, Yuan Shu looked at Lu Bu and motioned for Lu Bu to speak.
Lu Bu was helpless, so he had to nod symbolically.
Chen Gong saw that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu had agreed to let him be an envoy, his heart was cold, he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, he just made such a suggestion, but he became a real envoy.
This trip to Runan must be bumpy.
……
Chenggu County is located in the middle of the Hanzhong Basin, bordering the Qinling Mountains in the north, Yiba Mountain in the south, and adjacent to Nanzheng County, the seat of Hanzhong County.
Wang Can led his troops to Chenggu County, and did not continue to hurry, but stopped to rest. Just as Wang Can was resting in the county government, Dian Wei reported that a messenger had arrived in Chengdu.
In the hall, Wang Can was sitting in a precarious position, and below sat generals such as Xu Shu, Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Zhang Liao and Pang De.
Wang Can looked at the messenger who came from Chengdu and asked, "What message did Shi A let you convey?" ”
The messenger did not pass the word verbally, but took out a letter from inside his underwear and handed it to Wang Can. Wang Can saw that the seal of the envelope was intact, so he waved his hand to let the soldiers withdraw. Wang Can opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter, but the information that could be seen made Wang Can stunned, and even the envelope fell to the ground.
Immediately, Wang Can reacted and reached out to pick up the envelope.
Seeing this, the civil and military forces in the hall all had a bad feeling in their hearts, and it was very serious to make Wang Can lose his temper like this.
Wang Can took the letter again and carefully read the contents of the letter.
His brow furrowed slightly, but after a while he stretched out again, but the next moment, his expression became solemn again, his expression changed uncertainly, and at last he regained his composure, and the solemn expression on his face disappeared. Wang Can's changes affected everyone's hearts, and the civil and military forces in the hall wanted to know what was on the letter.
After Wang Can read it, he calmly handed the letter to Xu Shu.
After Xu Shu finished reading it, he passed the letter on again, and after everyone read it, everyone's faces changed.
Seeing that no one spoke, Xu Shu took the initiative to say: "Lord, Jia Xu and Li Ru have been defeated and retreated, and they have no power to fight back by Yuan Shao, and Huang Zhong, Dian Man, and Xu Rong have also been defeated in successive battles, should we go north overnight to reinforce Jia Xu and Li Ru?" ”
The content of the letter is about Jia Xu and Li Ru, and Guo Jia and Xun You are also slightly mentioned.
Jia Xu and Li Ru were defeated in successive battles and retreated, while Guo Jia, Xun You and Cao Cao fought and won and lost each other.
Gan Ning continued: "My lord, the situation in the north is critical, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" ”
Seeing Xu Shu's worried expression and Gan Ning's impatient expression, Wang Can smiled slightly, then shook his head and said, "Don't move for the time being, wait and see what happens!" ”
In a word, everyone's faces changed greatly.
The situation is already precarious, so why wait?
