Shi'a looked hesitant, and stumbled to Wang Can's tent, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, something happened in Shu."
When he received the news, Shi A was so shocked that he dropped the letter on the ground.
He could imagine what Wang Can would be like when he found out.
When Wang Can saw Shi'a's expression, he frowned and had a bad premonition in his heart. However, the calmness he had developed over the years allowed him to suppress his panic and asked calmly: "Shi'a, everything is fine in Shu. What happened?"
What's up?"
"Gudong!"
Shi A swallowed his saliva and said, "After listening to this, you must hold still and don't let your anger break your body!"
The more this happened, the more uneasy Wang Can felt.
"You bastard!" Wang Can shouted: "Whatever happened in Shu, don't hide it."
Shi A took a deep breath and said as slowly as possible: "I just received a letter from Mr. Cheng. The letter said that Mr. Cai and the eldest son Wang Zhen were assassinated. Among them, the eldest son only had skin injuries and no serious injuries.
No, but Mr. Cai used his old age to block an arrow from the eldest son, and he was seriously injured, and his life may be in danger."
"boom!!"
Wang Can's mind was like an atomic bomb exploding, and the energy in his pupils suddenly disappeared.
The teacher was seriously injured and his life was in danger, and Zhen'er was also injured.
The corner of Wang Can's mouth kept twitching, and his body was trembling slightly, which was difficult to accept. After a while, Wang Can's eyes regained their sparkle, but the dark eyes were flashing with blazing anger, and his handsome cheeks were so gloomy that it made people tremble. He was confused.
He stood up and walked around the tent with his hands behind his back without saying a word.
The more this happened, the more scared Shi A felt.
Shi A was the first person to follow Wang Can and knew Wang Can's situation.
It can be said that without Cai Yong, there would be no Wang Can today.
Cai Yong was a well-known Confucian and accepted Wang Can as his disciple, clearing Wang Can's identity as a Yellow Turban thief. Due to Cai Yong's recommendation, Wang Can was appointed by Dong Zhuo and became the prefect of Hanzhong, giving him a foothold.
In this way, Wang Can has come step by step to where he is today.
Perhaps without Cai Yong, Wang Can, with the assistance of civil servants and military generals, could have conquered the great empire, but it would obviously not be so smooth and smooth. Moreover, Cai Yong was Wang Can's father-in-law, so the teacher and father-in-law combined would have a huge impact.
.
Furthermore, Wang Can only has three children, and they are all Wang Can's babies.
Compared with the ancients, Wang Can still has the thoughts of future generations in his bones. He attaches great importance to his children and treats them as his heart, even if Wang Can is in a high position. When his child was assassinated, Wang Can's heart-licking feelings burst out.
In particular, Wang Can was away from home all year round and did not spend time with Wang Zhen, Wang You and Wang Xin. This made Wang Can even more self-blame and angry.
Suddenly, Wang Can stopped and returned to his seat.
Wang Can looked calm, as if nothing had happened.
However, Shi A did not believe that Wang Can could calm down, because he saw the crazy coldness in Wang Can's eyes. Those who assassinated Cai Yong and Wang Zhen had already touched Wang Can's reverse scale.
Dragons have reverse scales, and anyone who touches them will die.
"Shi A, what exactly happened?"
Wang Can's tone was calm and without any emotion.
Shi A bowed and replied: "Reporting to my lord, this is what happened. After the spring, the weather in Sichuan became warmer, and Mr. Cai took his eldest son Wang Zhen, his second son Wang You, and Miss Wang Xin to play outside the city. Unexpectedly,
I thought it was strange that I met a group of assassins on the way. These assassins specifically targeted Mr. Cai and the eldest son Wang Zhen, but did not harm the second son and the young lady. Under the protection of the accompanying guards, they repelled the assassins and rescued Cai.
The old gentleman and his party. Even so, Mr. Cai was also seriously injured."
Wang Can frowned after hearing this.
The assassin's targets are Cai Yong and Wang Zhen, and things are getting a little tricky.
Wang Can thought for a while and asked: "Shi A, what do you think is fishy about this matter?"
Shi A knew that Wang Can's family affairs were involved and did not dare to interfere at will. He pretended to be stupid and said: "Reporting to my lord, the matter is complicated and difficult to investigate, and it is difficult to determine at the moment."
"Hey!!"
Wang Can sneered twice, waved his hand and said: "Okay, summon the civil and military forces, I have something to announce."
"promise!"
Shi A came out of the camp, took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then turned and left. From the news coming from Shu, it was clear that the assassination was obviously aimed at Wang Zhen and Cai Yong, and was beneficial to Wang You. Under such circumstances, Shi A did not dare to intervene and could only retreat. After he left, he issued an order for Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Guo Jia, Shi A and others to come to the Chinese army's large tent to discuss matters.
In half an hour, all the civil servants and generals arrived.
Everyone looked at Wang Can in confusion, confused and didn't understand what happened?
Wang Can's eyes glanced below and shouted: "Xu Shu, listen to the order!"
"I'm here!"
Xu Shu didn't know what Wang Can was doing, but Wang Can called him by name. No matter what the matter was, Xu Shu had to stand up and obey Wang Can's orders.
Wang Can ordered: "I will appoint you as the governor of Yangzhou to take charge of the military and political affairs of Yangzhou."
These are extraordinary times, and Wang Can has not reduced the power of the governor.
"promise!!"
Xu Shu responded with cupped fists, feeling even more puzzled.
Yuzhang, Lujiang, Kuaiji, Danyang and other counties where Wu State is located are all the territory of Yangzhou. It can be said that Yangzhou has just been settled and the matter has not been resolved yet. Wang Can hastily pushed him to the position of Yangzhou governor, which was obviously too hasty. Okay. Even so, Xu Shu was a little excited. From a commoner to the governor of Yangzhou, he also became a feudal official.
Wang Can did not explain, but said in a deep voice: "This afternoon, General Gu will lead his army back to Chengdu. Yangzhou will be left to you to deal with. Which generals you need to assist you, please bring it up, but it doesn't matter."
Xu Shu gathered his thoughts and looked around at the generals in the tent.
Not long after, Xu Shu had already made up his mind, raised his hand and said: "My lord, the last generals are Taishi Ci, Zhu Huan, Lu Su, Lu Fan and Zhu Zhi, and with the assistance of Gandu's navy, they are enough to stabilize Yangzhou and not be afraid of Cao's army." Attack."
After Sun Quan's rebellion, Lu Su and others all chose to submit.
The Kingdom of Wu was destroyed, and it would be useless to resist any longer.
Wang Can looked at Taishi Ci and ordered: "Ziyi, you are a general in the army. Please assist Yuan Zhi."
Taishi Ci clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely live up to my lord's high expectations."
Guo Jia realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly stood up and asked: "My lord, Yangzhou has just been settled, and the arrangements of many officials have not been handled well. Now we are returning to Chengdu. What happened?"
Until now, everyone is still in the dark.
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "I just received a letter from Shu, and Gu's teacher Cai Yong and his eldest son Wang Zhen were assassinated. In order to protect Wang Zhen, the teacher was seriously injured and was in critical condition. Gu will immediately set off to return to Shu. Next, The affairs in Yangzhou will be left to Xu Shu and Taishi Ci, and as for the appointment of officials, they will be sent back to Chengdu after they are completed, and it will be up to me to decide."
Turning his eyes to Gan Ning, Wang Can ordered: "Xingba, Yangzhou has just been settled, Cao Jun may go south to attack at any time, your navy is very important, you must be careful, you know?"
"You will eventually understand!"
Gan Ning responded with clasped fists, a solemn look on his face.
Wang Can looked at Lu Meng again and ordered: "Amen, in the afternoon I will take Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Wei Yan and Pang De, and lead eight thousand elites to return to Chengdu by boat. You take the remaining three
More than 100,000 troops will return along the land route. When they pass through Jingzhou and Xiangyang, they must leave some generals in Jingzhou to guard them. You will discuss the arrangements for these personnel with Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, and then report them to me. I will announce
Appointed.”
"promise!!"
Lu Meng clasped his fists in response, with a worried look in his eyes.
Wang Can is a disciple of Cai Yong, and Lü Meng is a disciple of Wang Can. In other words, Cai Yong is Lü Meng's master. In this era when the king of heaven and earth are the masters, succession is very important, and Lü Meng is naturally worried about Cai Yong's safety.
Wang Can stopped talking to everyone, waved his hands and said: "It's an emergency, go down and get ready."
"promise!!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, turned around and left.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Can came out of the tent, took Dian Wei with him, left the military camp, and ran towards the Gu family. The people in the Gu family were very excited when they heard that Wang Can had arrived, and Gu Yong personally greeted him outside the door.
However, Wang Can was obviously not in the mood to chat with the Gu family.
He and Gu Yong came to the study, and Gu Yong asked: "King Shu, what can I do?"
Wang Can said straight to the point: "Brother, I just received the news that the teacher was seriously injured and his life may be in danger. This afternoon, I will return to Chengdu with some soldiers. Are you willing to go to Chengdu?"
"ah!!"
Gu Yong exclaimed, with a look of surprise on his face.
The last time he asked Wang Can, Wang Can said that Cai Yong was fine, why was he suddenly seriously injured? However, Gu Yong did not continue to inquire further, and simply said: "King Shu, wait a moment, I will pack some clothes.
After arranging things at home, I left with the King of Shu and went to Shuzhong to visit the teacher. I hope that the teacher will be blessed with good fortune and be safe and sound."
Wang Can nodded in agreement and waited in the study.
Half an hour later, Gu Yong pretended to salute and left the Gu family with Wang Can.
In the afternoon, Wang Can took Dian Wei, Jia Xu and others out of the city.
The group rushed to the nearest ferry. Gan Ning sent five large ships to sail into the Yangtze River carrying Wang Can and eight thousand elites, heading west towards Chengdu.
