Chapter 274: Means
Hanzhong County, Nanzheng County, ten miles away southeast.
Hundreds of people were crowded with people looking into the distance, as if waiting for something.
A carriage was parked directly in front of the crowd.
Next to the carriage, there was an energetic old man. The old man's hair was white, and his silver-white hair was tied up. A wooden hairpin was inserted into his bun. The old man was wearing a dark blue robe, standing in the cold wind, looking into the distance, with an expectant look in his eyes. The old man's back was slightly protruding, looking a little hunched, but the old man's clear body was still straightening in the cold wind, standing like a pine tree, standing still.
Especially the old man's eyes were bright and bright, deep and vast as vast as the starry sky.
"Boji, the weather is a bit cold and you are prone to cold. Go back to the carriage and wait!"
A man with a cold face, eyes as lightning, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a long beard under his jaw looked at the old man standing in the cold wind and couldn't help but speak out.
When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "Zhongde, you are almost fifty years old. Isn't you standing in the cold wind and waiting first? You are not afraid, what's the point of being afraid of my old bones?"
Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde!
The person who persuaded the old man was Cheng Yu who stayed in Hanzhong. At this time, the traces of the passing of time had appeared on Cheng Yu's cheeks, which seemed a little old. But Yu's tall and thin body stood upright without any hunchback. His whole body was also quite good, especially his cold eyes, which were full of majesty, which made people unable to help but feel awe.
The person Cheng Yu persuaded was Cai Yong who was sent to Hanzhong.
Cheng Yu smiled bitterly after hearing Cai Yong's words. Cai Yong was older than him and he was arrogant and unreasonable. Cheng Yu was a little younger, strong in his body, and was not afraid of wind and cold. However, Cai Yong was nearly 60 years old and older than Cheng Yu, but he said that Cheng Yu was not afraid, so Cai Yong was even less afraid. Compared with the older ones, what is the reason?
Looking at Cai Yong's expectant eyes, Cheng Yu felt funny.
When Cai Yong was sent to Hanzhong by the people from the Hero Tower, he felt unwilling to do so.
However, Cai Yong had been in Hanzhong for a long time, and as he watched Hanzhong under Wang Can get better and better day by day, his mood gradually improved.
In addition, Cheng Yu is over fifty years old and Cai Yong is over sixty years old. The two are almost the same age as old people. As they interact with each other more, their relationship will naturally come out. Cai Yong admires Cheng Yu's method of governing Hanzhong, while Cheng Yu admires Cai Yong's talent. The two have not known each other for a long time, but they have become confidants.
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Boji, I have a good body and am not afraid of the cold. Although you can hold on, don't wait for your lord to come back and you will fall down. Then the time will be more than worth the effort."
Cai Yong laughed and scolded: "Okay, Cheng Zhongde, even if you fall down, I can still stand."
Xun You stood behind the two of them, and when he saw them talking, he interrupted and said, "Mr. Bo Yi, Duke Zhongde, in You's opinion, both of you are half a dozen, and you should not stand here for a long time waiting for your lord. It's better to go back to the carriage to rest. It's enough for me to wait for your lord here."
"If you want to go back, you can go back by yourself!"
Cai Yong and Cheng Yu said in unison.
After saying that, both of them were stunned, and then they looked at each other and laughed loudly.
"Here I'm back, Lord Prefect is back!"
Suddenly, the soldier standing in front saw a black flag fluttering in the distance, and the black flag was embroidered with the word "king" and immediately shouted loudly.
The spring is chilly and the cold wind makes the flags rush.
The black flag appeared in everyone's sight, making the atmosphere suddenly warm.
Cai Yong, Cheng Yu, and Xun You all looked into the distance, saw the flags fluttering in the wind, and at the same time, a vague figure kept moving forward in the front of the team.
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Can's face could be clearly seen.
Wang Can rode a black war horse under his crotch, wearing a black chain mail, a golden helmet, a big red cloak behind him, a long sword hanging around his waist, and a long bow hanging next to the horse's belly. The horse drove quickly. Under the cold wind, the big red cloak rose, like a fiery red elves following Wang Can. At first glance, Wang Can was handsome, majestic, and desirable.
Behind Wang Can, Zhao Yun and Pei Yuanshao walked hand in hand, with a look of joy on their faces.
After a few months of separation from Hanzhong, I finally came back.
Guo Jia looked at the crowded scene in front of him, and his eyes were slightly red and his expression was excited.
Wang Can's eyes were very nice, and he saw Cai Yong and Cheng Yu standing in front of him at a glance. He was excited, and he immediately squeezed his legs and suddenly exerted force, rushing forward. The black war horse ran rapidly like a whirlwind, and the slightly cold wind whistled in his ears. In the blink of an eye, Wang Can came to Cheng Yu and Cai Yong.
Wang Can turned over and got off the horse with joy, walked quickly to Cai Yong, bent down and bowed deeply to Cai Yong, and said with a sincere expression: "Disciple Wang Can, please pay homage to the teacher, how are the teacher in good health?"
"Okay, very good!"
Cai Yong laughed loudly, and the wrinkles on his old face also stretched out, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were like blooming chrysanthemums, full of joy. Cai Yong showed a happy expression on his face, and reached out to help Wang Can up, and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." After a pause, Cai Yong said again, "I have heard that you defeated Dong Zhuo this time, and you've done a good job!"
Wang Can smiled and said, "The teacher praised him, but the disciples were ashamed of being responsible."
Cai Yong said seriously: "This is your credit, what's there to be afraid to take it?"
Wang Can could not refute Cai Yong's words, so he could only nod and said yes. He looked at Cai Yong with deep gratitude in his eyes. If it weren't for Cai Yong, he would have gone to Luoyang as a Yellow Turban thief to seek an official position, and he would have definitely not become the prefect of Hanzhong. Without Cai Yong, Wang Can would have never been favored by Cai Yan's little loli; without Cai Yong, Wang Can would have slept with the beautiful Diao Chan by chance...
In short, Cai Yong can be regarded as a nobleman who traveled to the Three Kingdoms.
Wang Can is really full of gratitude for Cai Yong.
After a while, Wang Can calmed down his excitement, turned around and looked at Cheng Yu, bent down to bow to Cheng Yu.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Cheng Yu was immediately shocked by Wang Can's sudden actions. Wang Can is the king, Cheng Yu is the minister, and the king is the minister. As Wang Can's subordinate, Cheng Yu dared not accept Wang Can's bowing and bowing ceremony. He hurriedly dragged out Wang Can's hand and said, "Lord, you can't do it, you can't do it. How can Cheng Yu bear this great gift?"
Even so, Cheng Yu's eyes still showed excitement.
In front of so many people, Wang Can attaches great importance to him. Isn’t it a blessing to have such a lord?
Wang Can insisted on bowing down and said, "Donald Zhongde, this ceremony is well deserved."
Seeing Wang Can insist, Cheng Yu could only let Wang Can. He was an old guy, and he was not as strong as Wang Can. In addition, Wang Can was the lord, so Wang Can said that he could bear it, so he could bear it.
After Wang Can bowed, he stood up, held Cheng Yu's hand, and said in a deep voice: "In the past, Emperor Gaozu defeated Xiang Yu and pacified the world. He once praised Zhang Liang's plan and victory was decided thousands of miles away. Only by Zhang Liang's advice could he have no omissions; Xiao He conquers the country, pacify the people, provides military pay, and never stops the food route. He has received Xiao He's help from Emperor Gaozu without any worries; Han Xin leads a million people, and will win the battle, and will win the attack, and pacify the world for Emperor Gaozu. These three are the key to Emperor Gaozu's defeat of Emperor Xiang Yu."
"Now Duke Zhongde is in charge of Hanzhong to solve the worries of Hanzhong. Duke Zhongde can be called my Xiao He!"
"Gongda follows me, with unparalleled strategies, and wins a thousand miles away. Gongda can be called my son's house!"
"Zilong led the army camp and fought on the battlefield. He was invincible. Zilong can be called my Han Xin!"
"Working filial piety and good at making strange plans, and the schemes are unpredictable, which makes people scared. We can be called my Chen Ping!"
"These four are indispensable for my limbs."
Wang Can looked sincere, and his face was cut with a serious expression. At this time, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun had already walked up and were excited when they heard Wang Can's words. Although Wang Can's words were a bit different, Cheng Yu was practicing the Legalism theory, good at governing the government without losing the sacrificing the people, and stabilizing the rear. However, Cheng Yu's talent is enough to stabilize the small Hanzhong.
As for Zhao Yun, he has just finished his studies and has to grow up. Whether he can become a commander like Han Xin who leads a million-strong army depends on how he develops in the future.
Guo Jia was also very excited and was glad that he was the chief of Wang Can.
The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also chooses his king!
Cai Yong stood aside, and after listening to Wang Can's words, his face changed drastically, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
At this moment, Cai Yong seemed to be unable to understand Wang Can. He once heard Wang Can say such a bold statement: "Be worrying about the world first, worrying about the world before being happy about the world." He thought that Wang Can was loyal to the court and loyal to the Liu family. But now it seems that the world in Wang Can's mouth seems not the world of the Liu family, but the world of the Han people.
However, as Wang Can's teacher, he had to add the title of a father-in-law, which made Cai Yong silent.
Wang Can looked at familiar faces with a look of joy on his face.
His eyes passed through Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Cai Yong. Looking around, Zhou Cang was standing straight and quietly behind. Wang Can felt moved in his heart. Zhou Cang was steady and capable, and it was indeed a little aggrieved to stay in Hanzhong. Wang Can strode to Zhou Cang, held Zhou Cang's hand, and said, "Zhou Cang, thank you for your hard work in staying in Hanzhong!"
One sentence moved Zhou Cang very much.
All the grievances disappeared completely.
All that remains is just a sense of motivation and the idea of doing all his strength to serve Wang Can,
When Wang Can returned to Hanzhong, everyone was very happy, but Cai Yong was a little unhappy.
Cai Yong stood by and watched coldly. Seeing Wang Can greet everyone and appease the officials who stayed in Hanzhong, he sighed in his heart.
After a few months, Wang Can's appearance has not changed much, but his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. His behavior is calm and he shows his style. Moreover, what Wang Can said to Cheng Yu, Xun You and others is even more skillful. In a few words, Cheng Yu and others are loyal to Wang Can.
Even though Cai Yong was knowledgeable, he was very impressed by this method.
With these loyal loyal ministers, Cai Yong didn't know what Wang Can's future would be like. He didn't know what Wang Can's future scene was. He didn't dare to imagine Wang Can's future scene.
After comforting everyone, Wang Can ordered: "Set out and return to the county magistrate's mansion."
"promise!"
Everyone responded in unison and began to return to the county magistrate's office in Nanzheng County.
