In the first year of Chuping (190), Cao Cao issued a document inviting the princes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo. (）

Princes from all walks of life gathered in Tiger Prison Pass in order to defeat Dong Zhuo.

Among them, whether it is the powerful assassin Shi, or the county guard who guards one side, or the archers with humble official positions, they are all involved. In addition to Wang Can, there are eighteen princes, and with Wang Can, a total of nineteen princes crusade against Dong Zhuo, and the princes of all walks of life are fighting with the army under Dong Zhuo's command, which is mighty and daunting.

A few years later, several more princes led troops to attack Wang Can.

The initiator of that year was Cao Cao, and the main characters were Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, and the initiator of today's crusade against Wang Can is also Cao Cao, and the main characters involved are also Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao, with little change.

Such a situation is unexpected.

……

To the north of Guanzhong, Yuan Shao led a large army across Huguan and headed east of the river, preparing to attack Chang'an.

When Yuan Shao led his troops to Chang'an, Jia Xu and Li Ru led Huang Zhong, Xu Rong, Dian Man, and Zhou Cang to lead 1,500 broken military camps, 100 wolf tooth battalions, and tens of thousands of foot soldiers to the north to meet Yuan Shao.

At the same time, Guo Jia led Zhao Yun, Huang Xu, and Pei Yuanshao to the west to Hangu Pass, where they were stationed and waited for Cao Cao to lead a large army to kill. In the past, Cao Cao raised troops to welcome the Son of Heaven, and once captured Hangu Pass, because the army retreated to Yanzhou and gave up Hangu Pass, so Guo Jia led people to Hangu Pass, and it was easy to obtain control of Hangu Pass, and stationed here to resist the attack of Cao Cao's army.

The two armies left Chang'an, and Wang Yue and Gao Shun stayed in Chang'an and were responsible for the coordination of the army.

……

After Wang Can arranged the affairs of Chang'an, he took Dian Wei and Lü Meng to the south and returned to Chengdu.

From the news from Shi A, it can be seen that the army led by Yuan Shu and Lu Bu has arrived in Yuzhou and is heading for Nanyang County. Time is urgent, and Wang Can must return to Chengdu as soon as possible. Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had made arrangements, Yuan Shu and Lü Bu's army did not have soldiers to resist, so Wang Can had to return quickly.

While hurrying, Wang Can issued several orders in succession, all of which were about resisting the army of Lü Bu and Yuan Shu.

The group traveled day and night, and returned to Chengdu in a short time.

When Wang Can returned to Chengdu with his soldiers, not only Dian Wei and Lu Meng came back together, but Xiliang Pang De was also brought back to Chengdu by Wang Can. Pang De is superb in martial arts, and he can come in handy when fighting with Lu Bu. Especially Pang De, who is both civil and military, and with Pang De leading the troops, the strength of the army can be improved a lot.

Wang Can returned to Chengdu and did not notify Cheng Yu, so no one came to greet him.

After the team of hundreds of people arrived in Chengdu, Wang Can immediately realized that something was wrong in Chengdu.

Because along the way, Wang Can saw many people carrying burdens, and they actually left from the direction of Chengdu and went to other places. Chengdu is the seat of governance in Yizhou, located in the hinterland of Yizhou, but some people have fled when they hear the wind, which makes Wang Can very puzzled and worried that something big has happened in Chengdu.

Wang Can instructed: "Shan Jun, you go and inquire and see what happened?" ”

Dian Wei nodded, reined in the reins, and then rolled over and dismounted.

He had a fierce face, but he also tried to relax his expression, but no one was willing to talk to Dian Wei. Seeing this, Dian Wei simply grabbed a middle-aged man and asked, "What happened in Chengdu, how could so many people leave?" ”

The middle-aged man replied: "Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are all going to fight, and Chengdu can't be saved." ”

When Dian Wei heard this, his face immediately changed.

He hurriedly ran to Wang Can's side and told Wang Can what had happened.

After Wang Can heard this, he suppressed the anger in his heart, but he didn't understand how Chengdu could be so bad? He instructed: "Speed up and rush back to Chengdu immediately!" At the sound of the order, hundreds of people hurried to Chengdu. On the spacious official road, the rumbling sound of war horses sounded, and smoke and dust flew up from the ground, covering the sky and the sun.

On the official road, you can see people leaving Chengdu everywhere.

When Wang Can saw this, his heart was like a knife.

Chengdu is his big rear, and it is simply disappointing that such a thing happened.

When the army arrived at the north gate of Chengdu, the soldiers rushed directly into the city and ran towards the prefecture governor's mansion. When entering the city, Wang Can directly ordered the soldiers guarding the city to call Cheng Yu and Shi A to the mansion, where he waited for the two.

When Wang Can returned to the state pastor's mansion, he did not go to the backyard, but waited in the hall.

He had no other thoughts in his head, just to know what was going on in Chengdu?

In ancient times, one of the criteria for whether a country could prosper and whether a prince could achieve great things was the number of people under his jurisdiction. Because the war in the era of cold weapons was a war of attrition, a meat grinder, and without the support of sufficient troops, it was impossible to form a strong army, so the loss of the people made Wang Can very angry.

The hall was silent.

Dian Wei carried two iron halberds behind him, standing quietly beside Wang Can as if it were a small mountain, motionless. As for Lu Meng and Pang De, they had already gone down to rest and did not stay in the hall.

"Step! Trample! ……”

Outside the hall, hurried footsteps were heard.

Cheng Yu arrived at the state pastor's mansion first and strode in.

He bowed respectfully to Wang Can, and then sat down in the hall. Although Wang Can bowed his head, his face did not smile at all, and even his expression was cold, which made Cheng Yu have some doubts in his heart.

Not long after, Shi Ah also rushed to the hall.

Shi Abai said: "Humble Shi, meet the lord!" ”

"Sit!"

Wang Can cherished words like gold, and only said one word.

After speaking, Wang Can waved his hand and asked Shi A to sit down in the hall. After Shi A sat down, Wang Can said: "On the way back to Chengdu with the soldiers today, I saw people leaving Chengdu with their burdens and taking refuge in other places, what happened? Why did the news of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others attacking Yizhou spread so quickly? ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, he chuckled in his heart.

He immediately understood why Wang Can's face was gloomy after returning to the mansion, and he didn't have a good face.

Cheng Yu stood up directly, walked to the center of the hall, and arched his hand: "My lord, because Gongda and Yan Yan left Chengdu, Chengdu's vigilance was relaxed, so that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu appeared in Chengdu. These people spread rumors, causing panic among the people, so that the people fled one after another, this is a dereliction of duty, please punish the Lord! ”

Shi A raised his eyebrows, and also stood up and said: "Lord, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao's people spread rumors everywhere, it is Shi A's dereliction of duty, please surrender your guilt." ”

The two stayed in Chengdu, and if something happened, it would naturally be the responsibility of the two.

Wang Can listened to the two talking, and felt irritable in his heart.

He took a deep breath and said, "At this time, there is no point in pursuing responsibility, Shi'a, I will give you two days to arrest and behead all the people in the city who spread rumors. ”

"No!"

Shi Ah replied with a fist clenched and agreed.

Wang Can waved his hand and said, "Go and execute it immediately, the sooner the better." ”

Hearing this, Shi Ah stopped lingering in the hall and turned to leave. After Shi A left, Wang Can looked at Cheng Yu and asked, "Have Zhong Degong, Xu Shu and the others returned to Chengdu?" ”
