After the beginning of summer, the temperature gradually rises.
In late June, the sun in the sky is radiating heat like a furnace. Although the weather is unbearably hot, we still have to work and continue to do things.
Wang Can was sitting in the main hall, busy with the Northern Expedition to Cao Cao.
After the Kingdom of Wu was destroyed, there were only two people in the world, Cao Cao and Wang Can. Especially since both Wang Can and Cao Cao had proclaimed themselves emperors, and the two emperors coexisted, both sides worked hard to defeat each other and dominate the world.
.During this period, Wang Can seemed to have made no major moves, but he had been arranging personnel and busy preparing food, ordnance, troops, etc.
"Your Majesty, I am so happy, so happy!"
No one entered the palace, and sharp sounds came from outside the palace.
A eunuch rushed in with a happy face and bowed to Wang Can.
Wang Can frowned slightly and asked without raising his head: "Why are you so happy?"
Seeing Wang Can's expression, the eunuch's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he had been carried away with excitement just now, so he said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Queen has ordered the servants to send word that two queens in the palace are pregnant, and the imperial doctor has just found out."
Wang Can suddenly stood up and laughed heartily.
Putting down the pen in his hand, Wang Can immediately left the hall and headed towards the harem.
Wang Can had three children, Wang Zhen, Wang You and Wang Xin, two sons and one daughter, but it was obviously not enough. Now that someone was finally pregnant, Wang Can was naturally very excited. When he arrived at the harem, Wang Can found that everyone was in Cai Yan's palace.
They were talking and laughing, looking very happy, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
Wang Can walked in and talked to the girls, only to find out that Da Qiao and Wu Ran were pregnant. They were already one month pregnant.
Calculating the time, it happened to be sowing when I came back.
Da Qiao and Wu Ran are both shy and maternal, and extremely satisfied. Regardless of whether the child in their belly is a boy or a girl, at least they are pregnant.
Xiao Qiao and Mi Huan looked forward to it and wanted to be pregnant with a child.
Now that Wang Can is the emperor, he has children to rely on.
As the mistress of the harem, Cai Yan was used to the days of the harem, and every move she made had the demeanor of a queen. But in front of Wang Can, she looked like a queen again. She said softly: "Your Majesty, the army is about to move north, and the capital will follow.
I will move north, but my two sisters are pregnant, they will have to travel a long distance, and it’s a hot summer, so I’m afraid they won’t be able to bear it.”
Wang Can nodded and said: "In that case, you stay in Chengdu and wait until the child is born before leaving. I will ask Shi A to leave some people to protect you, and I will also leave generals to guard Chengdu. This time I will lead the army to fight Cao Cao. In a short time
Time is hard to complete. After the war is over, the child may be born, and it won't be too late for you to go north."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
Da Qiao and Wu Ran thanked him immediately and looked at Cai Yan gratefully.
Wang Can smiled and reassured the two girls that they would have a good baby.
While Wang Can was talking with the girls, another chamberlain reported that Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and Xun You were waiting outside the hall. Wang Can got the news, turned back to the hall, and immediately summoned the three of them. Not long after, Jia Xu, Cheng
Yu and Xun You entered the hall and paid homage: "Your Majesty, Cheng Yu (Jia Xu, Xun You), pays homage to your majesty."
"Pingsheng!"
Wang Can waved his hand for the three of them to sit down, looked at Cheng Yu, and asked: "Mr. Zhong De, you, Wen He, and Gongda came to the palace to see you today. What's the matter?"
Cheng Yu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what I met on the way, Wenhe and Gongda are not the same thing."
Wang Can smiled and said: "In that case, Mr. Zhong De will speak first."
Cheng Yu said solemnly: "Your Majesty has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He is ranked ninth and fifth. The two princes under his knees are already eight years old. I would like to ask your Majesty to establish a prince, appoint a heir apparent, and stabilize the situation in the court."
Wang Can frowned slightly, not wanting to establish the crown prince immediately.
Currently, Wang Zhen is too young.
Once the prince is appointed, it means that Wang Zhen has to bear the burden of the prince, and every move must be based on the prince's identity. It is impossible to be as relaxed as now. It is for this reason that Wang Can does not want to establish the prince immediately, especially
Even Cai Yan didn't mention it, so Wang Can wasn't in a hurry.
Cheng Yu ignored Wang Can's thoughts and continued: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince Wang Zhen is honest and intelligent, and is suitable for the position of crown prince. Once the crown prince is confirmed, officials will not have other thoughts, and the court can develop steadily.
"
Wang Can did not answer, looked at Jia Xu, and asked: "Wen He, what do you think?"
Jia Xu, an old fox, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the matter of establishing a crown prince is decided by your Majesty. It is your Majesty's family matter. I only ask that your Majesty follow your lead." After Jia Xu received the ball, he immediately kicked it back, not wanting to get involved in the matter of establishing a crown prince.
He doesn't have the same prestige as Cheng Yu, so it's better to watch quietly.
Wang Can turned his eyes and looked at Xun You.
Before Wang Can could ask, Xun You took the initiative and said, "I am the same as Wen He, but your majesty is following the lead."
Neither of them interfered. Wang Can's eyes returned to Cheng Yu and said truthfully: "Mr. Zhong De, I have already decided on the position of the crown prince. I also tell you that I will make Wang Zhen the crown prince. But at present, Wang Zhen is only the prince.
He is less than eight years old and is still young. If he establishes Prince Wang Zhen at this time, he will definitely bear too much pressure."
Cheng Yu heard this and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I can understand your mentality. But since you are the crown prince of a country, you certainly have more responsibilities and pressures. If the prince wants to inherit your majesty's legacy, if he can't bear anything, then
He is not suitable for the position of prince. It is impossible for him to shirk his affairs in order to pursue his own affairs in his position. Your Majesty, please think twice."
Wang Can pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Gong Zhongde is right, the prince has the responsibility of the prince and cannot shirk it. You are responsible for drafting the edict and establishing the eldest son Wang Zhen as the prince."
When Cheng Yu saw that Wang Can had agreed, he happily bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I will go and deliver the order right now."
After the matter was resolved, Cheng Yu left immediately.
After Cheng Yu left, Wang Can looked at Xun You and Jia Xu and said with a smile: "You two are both slippery. Tell me, you two came to see me together. What's the important matter?"
Xun You cupped his hands and replied: "Report to your majesty, the food, grass, and ordnance are all ready, and we can start the northern expedition against Cao Cao."
"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words."
Wang Can was refreshed, waved his hand and said: "You and Wen He go and get ready, and we will take oath to fight tomorrow."
The two of them said goodbye and left the main hall, and Wang Can also turned around and headed towards the harem.
…
Early the next morning, a morning glow rose in the east, illuminating the earth.
Wang Can, wearing a helmet and a sword hanging on his waist, strode into the school grounds surrounded by Dian Wei and Lu Meng. When he walked into the school grounds, the noisy voices inside immediately quieted down, and all the soldiers focused their attention on Wang Can.
On the body, I saw Wang Can walking straight to the high platform built in the school grounds, with a serious expression, deep eyes, and full of majesty.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Can yelled: "The Shu army fought in the south and north. In the second half of last year, Jingzhou was pacified and Liu Bei was defeated. In the first half of this year, our army destroyed the state of Wu and defeated Sun Jian. Until now, there is only one left in the world.
Cao Cao is alone. Today, you will go north to attack Cao Cao and bring peace to the world." His words were simple, without too many clichés.
Only Cao Cao is left in the world, and the next step is to destroy Cao Cao.
"The Shu army will win!!"
When Lu Meng saw Wang Can finish speaking, he immediately yelled.
Immediately afterwards, waves of soldiers roared at the top of their lungs, and in an instant, waves of loud roars could be heard in the school grounds. The sound was as loud as thunder, causing the heaven and earth to change color.
Seeing the momentum of the army, Wang Can suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist and shouted: "Let's go!"
The order was conveyed, and Lu Meng led the army to leave the school grounds and head for the northern battlefield.
Wang Can and Dian Wei and others quickly followed and set off with the army. Although Wang Can left, the civil and military officials in the court stayed temporarily, and could only slowly move the capital to Luoyang. In this battle, Wang Can led one hundred thousand
The elite Shu army, together with Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Kuai Yue, Xu Shu and others, has a strength of at least no less than 400,000 troops.
…
North, Zhongmu County.
After the news came that Wang Can had pledged to fight for the Northern Expedition, Cao Cao's army immediately mobilized and prepared to fight. Cao Cao had been preparing for this for several years and was waiting for this opportunity.
He laid out the plan and waited for Wang Can to arrive.
In the past, battles between Cao Cao and Wang Can ended in failure. But this time it was different. Cao Cao could not be in vain. He believed that it was him, not Wang Can, who won the battle with Wang Can in the end.
