When Wang Can left Cai Mansion, Cheng Yu and Gu Yong had already left, leaving only Dian Wei.
Next, Wang Can did not return to the palace, but went to the military camp.
Wang Can summoned Shi A and talked with Shi A for half an hour before taking Dian Wei back to the palace. In early March last year, Wang Can took Shi A and others to leave Chengdu and sneak into Xiangyang. It is now May of the following year.
, I haven’t been back for more than a year, and I miss the women at home so much.
After returning to the palace, Wang Can relaxed.
At this time, the palace's harem already included Cai Yan, Diao Chan, Dong Hui, Mi Huan, Wu Ran, as well as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, who had arrived in Chengdu not long ago. There were seven peerless beauties in the world, who could be said to be among the best in the world.
blessing.
For seven consecutive days, Wang Can stayed in the palace.
What to do?
There is no doubt about it, hanging out with the women in the harem.
How are the short seven days allocated? Only Wang Can and those who record Wang Can's daily life know clearly. During the time when Wang Can was hanging out in the harem, it was rare that no one came to disturb Wang Can. Everyone was busy with their own things. Shi A
He is never idle, he is busy all the time, and has been investigating the assassination of Cai Yong.
On this day, Xun You came outside the palace and wanted to see Wang Can on important matters.
In the palace, in the side hall.
This is where Wang Can handles official business. After Xun You came in, he bowed and bowed to Wang Can.
Wang Can put down his pen, looked up at Xun You, and said with a smile: "Gongda, I have been away for more than a year, leading troops abroad, and you are in charge of all domestic military affairs. Thank you for your hard work."
Xun You bowed and said: "My lord praises me, but I am ashamed to accept it."
Wang Can changed the subject and returned to the main topic, asking: "What do you want when you come to the palace to see me?"
Xun You put away his humble expression and said solemnly: "I hurriedly paid homage to my lord because I came here for important events in the Kingdom of Shu. Late last night, businessman Hu Bo quietly visited me outside my residence and reported an important matter. This matter is closely related.
Regarding the decisive battle between the Kingdom of Shu and the Kingdom of Wei, I dare not make any arbitrary decisions, so I came to see my lord and ask him to make a decision."
"Hu Bo?"
Wang Can thought for a while, with a look of understanding on his face, and said: "Hu Bo has always existed as a businessman, and almost no one knows that he is one of ours. Now that he has moved into the palace, it is not good for Hu Bo to be a businessman."
I'll see you as soon as you enter the palace. It seems that we have to resolve Hu Bo's identity and let him work conscientiously."
Xun You clasped his fists and said, "My lord is wise. Even if Hu Bo cannot reveal his identity, he definitely recognizes my lord more."
Wang Can asked: "Gongda, how do you think should be appointed?"
Xun You replied: "My lord, since Hu Bo is engaged in business, let's just let Hu Bo take a temporary post in the Ministry of Household Affairs and exist as an official and businessman of Shu. Now that the war is coming, Hu Bo's identity cannot be exposed, but he can get the support of the lord. Finally,
It solves Hu Bo's identity without embarrassment, and he will definitely be more loyal to the master."
Hu Bo has always been loyal to Wang Can, but he has no identity and has always been on the periphery. It is said that Hu Bo is a subordinate of Wang Can, but he has no official position; it is said that he is not, but he is loyal to Wang Can.
Wang Can nodded and said: "As for Hu Bo, I will do as you say."
After a pause, Wang Can asked: "What did Hu Bo report?"
Xun You said in a deep voice: "Hu Bo reported that Cao Cao's people in Chengdu contacted Yizhou merchants and wanted these merchants to risk selling Han knives, and even wanted to take away the craftsmen who forged the weapons. Even Cao Cao was still making gunpowder and
The idea of the ballistae is that the gunpowder and giant ballistae are heavily guarded and cannot get close. They retreated to the next best thing, mainly trying to get the Han sword."
Wang Can said: "From this, it seems that Cao Cao is ready to fight our army to the death, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to buy weapons. It seems that Cao Cao is not in a hurry."
Xun You said seriously: "Cao Cao is actively recruiting troops and collecting food. He must be planning a decisive battle."
Wang Can rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Since Cao Cao wants to buy weapons, we must entertain him well and let Cao Cao know our enthusiasm. Gongda, tell Hu Bo..., hum, since Cao Cao has money, we
What are you afraid of?" A wicked smile appeared on Wang Can's lips, it would be a good idea to trick Cao Cao.
"promise!!"
Xun You surrendered and prepared to implement the plan according to Wang Can's strategy.
A chamberlain hurried over, bowed and said, "To the King of Shu, Shi A is waiting outside the palace."
"Let him in."
Wang Can raised his eyebrows and his eyes showed joy. It seemed that Shi A had found a clue.
Although Wang Can stayed in the harem after returning to Chengdu, he was still thinking about the assassination of Cai Yong. When Xun You saw Shi Azhen reporting the matter, he stood up and prepared to say goodbye. Wang Can waved his hand and said: "Gongda, don't be in a hurry.
Come on, what Shi A reported is probably related to Cao Cao, the two things are mixed together, and maybe there is a connection."
Xun You returned to the seat and sat down, waiting for Shi A to come in.
Not long after, Shi A strode in.
Wang Can of Shi Achao bowed his head and said: "My lord, we have found out clearly about the assassination of Mr. Cai and the eldest son. The initiator of the assassination is none other than the person Cao Cao placed in Chengdu. Not only
In this way, the people Cao Cao placed in Chengdu still have two big fish, who are the main advisers under Cao Cao."
Wang Can frowned and said coldly: "We have been on the expedition for more than a year, and great changes have taken place in Chengdu."
A year ago, there were people placed by Cao Cao in Chengdu, but there were no important advisers to Cao Cao. Cao Cao ignored Wang Can. He was so arrogant, did he really think he could escape detection?
Thinking of Cao Cao's counselors stationed in Chengdu, a coldness flashed in Wang Can's eyes.
Now that you're here, don't leave.
Xun You was anxious and asked hurriedly: "Shi Jianshi, who are the two people Cao Cao has planted?"
Shi Ayi said 150%: "One of them is named Hua Xin, who was the Yilang under Cao Cao. He was a famous scholar at that time and was highly regarded by Cao Cao; the other is named Jushou, who was once Yuan Shao's counselor and was very talented.
He was outstanding and was a good friend of Tian Feng. In the battle of Guandu, Jushu was captured and later became Cao Cao's counselor."
"Hua Xin and Jushu were stationed in Chengdu and directed Cao Cao to place people in Chengdu"
"The two are very cunning. They have set up many people to cover up, and sometimes they even have a single line of contact. They can only inform the people below who are doing things. Most people don't know the existence of Jushou and Hua Xin."
A look of joy appeared in Shi'a's eyes and he said: "We were able to trace Jushou and Hua Xin because they sent people to contact merchants to buy weapons, which is why they exposed their flaws. Hu Bo controls most of the merchants in Chengdu, so the purchase of weapons has not happened.
Without hiding it from Hu Bo, we followed the clues through businessmen and traced Hua Xin and Jushu."
Xun You opened his eyes wide and said, "Cao Cao actually sent Ju Shou and Hua Xin out, I didn't expect it!"
Obviously, Xun You knew these two people.
Wang Can also had some impressions of Hua Xin and Jushu. In history, there was a case of severing ties, and it was about Hua Xin and Guan Ning. As for Jushu, he was a resourceful man under Yuan Shao, and he did not expect to be killed by Cao Cao.
They were sent to Chengdu. Jushou and Tian Feng were close friends and could think about it.
Shi A said: "Hua Xin and Jushu have been found out, should they be arrested immediately?"
Wang Can gradually had an idea in his mind, shook his head and said: "You can't arrest him. How can you trick Cao Cao if you arrest him? You send people to arrest the people who participated in the assassination of the teacher, and arrest the little leaders Cao Cao installed in Chengdu. The only exception is that it cannot involve Jushou and
Hua Xin, let these two people think that you failed to track them down and let them continue to stay."
Shi A was puzzled, but agreed.
Wang Can looked at Xun You and said: "Gongda, you and Shi A have a chat about the matter of Ju Shou and Hua Xin and exchange opinions. After you and Shi A leave, find Hu Bo immediately and ask him to prepare for action."
"promise!"
Xun You agreed.
Next, Wang Can talked to the two of them for a while before letting Shi A and Xun You leave.
Xun You smiled and said, "Swordsman Shi, can you come to your house and have a talk?"
Shi'a cupped his fists and said, "It's Shi'a's blessing to be favored by Master Xun. Please, Master Xun." After leaving the palace, the two expressed their thoughts and discussed strategies to deal with Hua Xin and Jushou.
"诱辘! 诱辘!"
The carriage was driving and the two people were talking in the carriage.
From time to time in the carriage, hearty laughter could be heard, wanton and very happy. Cao Cao let people act recklessly in Chengdu and openly assassinated Cai Yong, which made Xun You and Shi A hold their breath.
Now that I have the opportunity to trick Cao Cao, I feel very comfortable and cannot miss it.
ps: One of three updates; sadly, there was a power outage at home, and the power was only available at 8:30 in the evening. The keyboard in the Internet cafe is really difficult to use, and I have to sit in the Internet cafe for a whole day, which is torture!
