The army formed an orderly formation, with Pei Yuanshao leading the Hanzhong soldiers and Zhao Yun leading the army camp. The two men lined up on the left and right sides.
In the center, Wang Can is riding on a horse, which is the Chinese army led by Wang Can.
At the front of the military formation, a huge black flag was erected in the cold wind. When it was blown by the cold wind, it made a hunting sound. On top of the flag, there was a purple and black big "king" embroidered in a majestic font.
The momentum is majestic, and at first glance, it gives people the feeling of being on a mountain.
Wang Can was dressed in armor, with a bronze helmet on his head, and a long sword hanging from his waist. He was riding on a horse, looking majestic and imposing.
"Clang!"
Wang Can's eyes widened, he suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, and roared loudly: "The army is moving!"
After giving the order, the army outside the city immediately marched forward, heading towards where the princes of Hulao Pass were.
Pei Yuanshao led 3,000 Hanzhong soldiers as the vanguard and marched first; Wang Can, Guo Jia, Xun You and others served as the middle army and marched slowly; 400 soldiers from the broken barracks led by Zhao Yun stayed behind to protect the safety of the army.
The dark army marched slowly, gradually moving away from Nanzheng.
At this time, the sound of clanging piano came from the tower.
After Wang Can heard this, he suddenly turned around. Although he could only vaguely see the shadow on the tower, Wang Can could feel the emotion of separation from the sound of the piano. Cai Yan followed Wang Can into Hanzhong and separated from Cai Yong. Now Wang Can leads
During the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Cai Yan and Wang Can separated again, leaving Cai Yan alone in the prefect's mansion.
Loneliness and loneliness are the best portrayal of Cai Yan.
Although Wang Can felt distressed, he could only suppress the pity in his heart, took a deep breath, and suddenly looked away, never looking at the increasingly smaller and disappearing figures on the tower...
##########
The army set out from Nanzheng and wanted to reach Hulao Pass. The journey was very long.
Wang Can led the army, passed through Chenggu County, Shangyong County, crossed the Han River, arrived at Nanxiang County, passed through Wuguan, went around Lushi County, Yiyang County, and finally stopped in Xingyang, which is closest to Hulao Pass.
.
The journey took a month and a half.
In the blink of an eye, the sixth year of Zhongping has passed, and we have entered the first month of the first year of Chuping.
At the beginning of the new year, Wang Can was not happy at all, but was thinking about how to deal with the crusade against Dong Zhuo.
The army rested for a day in Xingyang. By using the name of the princes to challenge Dong, Wang Can successfully deceived four thousand shi of food as supplies, which replenished the food of Wang Can's army, which was enough to sustain Wang Can's army for a period of time. The army continued to advance.
Along the way, as the scouts continued to send back news, several groups of princes had arrived at Hulao Pass.
Bohai Governor Yuan Shao and Cavalry Commander Cao Cao were the first to arrive.
In addition, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Kong Niao, the governor of Yuzhou, and other princes also arrived at Hulao Pass, but General Yuan Shu and Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, had not arrived yet.
After marching for another five days, the army finally arrived near Hulao Pass.
It took almost two months to travel all the way, and we were finally almost at our destination.
The meeting place of the princes was five miles outside Hulao Pass. The princes were encamped and working on their own affairs. At this time, Wang Can was still half an hour away from the meeting place. Suddenly, the scouts who were inquiring about the news rushed up to the meeting place.
Wang Can stepped forward and reported back: "Sir, there is a large army blocking the way ahead, and the way forward is blocked."
Wang Can frowned, he was almost arriving at the meeting place, why would there be a large army blocking the way?
"Zilong, come with me!"
Wang Can waved his hand to signal the scout to leave, then turned around and gave an order.
Zhao Yun heard the words and hurriedly rode towards the front of the army. Wang Can and Zhao Yun galloped towards the front of the army. After a while, Wang Can and Zhao Yun rode towards the front of the army. They saw Pei Yuanshao with a solemn expression, leading the vanguard and blocking the road.
The troops at the front were facing each other, and no one on either side moved.
Wang Can stepped forward and shouted: "I am Wang Can, the prefect of Hanzhong, leading my troops to join the alliance. Which army are you from? How dare you block the advance of the army?"
"Jiejie...Wang Can, don't you recognize me?"
From the military formation on the opposite side, a middle-aged man wearing a black cotton robe, armor, and a long sword hanging on his waist came out. The middle-aged man was not very old, with three short strands of beard under his chin, thick eyebrows, and big eyes.
He is tall and slender, and at first glance, he looks majestic. However, the middle-aged man's thin lips are tightly pursed, making him look a bit cold and vicious.
Seeing the middle-aged man's cold smile, Wang Can asked: "I don't know you, who are you?"
The person who came was not kind, Wang Can could feel it from his tone.
Therefore, when speaking, you are not polite and ask for your name directly.
The middle-aged man laughed loudly, pointed the riding crop in his hand at Wang Can, and shouted: "Wang Can, you are really a noble man who forgets things. You forgot about Runan so quickly? You were still an inconspicuous yellow turban thief at that time.
You killed my general Ji Ling, why don't you recognize me now?"
"Are you General Yuan Shu?"
Wang Can was stunned, not expecting to meet Yuan Shu here. In other words, this was planned by Yuan Shu, who wanted to kill Wang Can and take revenge before the alliance.
"Hey, this general is Yuan Shu." When Yuan Shu heard Wang Can call him General Hou, a look of arrogance suddenly appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "You killed my general Ji Ling. It's such a big revenge. How do you think you should settle it?"
Wang Can smiled and said: "Yuan Gongli, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? You actually asked me about Ji Ling? You don't know what the situation was at that time? Your general Ji Ling and the school captain Bao Hong led their troops to attack Runan.
, this is an unreasonable thing, you are making such a fuss here, how unbecoming it is! You have really disgraced the face of the old Yuan family. No wonder Yuan Benchu is famous all over the world, but you, as the legitimate son of the Yuan family, are not famous.
What big things can you achieve if you are stupid?"
"Hahaha……"
"It's funny, it's so funny..."
"Shameful, so shameful..."
The soldiers behind Wang Can burst into laughter after listening to Wang Can's words, especially Pei Yuanshao. This guy actually burst out laughing. He pointed the mace at Yuan Shu and kept muttering in his mouth. This scene made Yuan Shu gnash his teeth with hatred.
, I wish I could cut Wang Can into eight pieces, smash his bones and spread his ashes.
Yuan Shu's face was ashen and he scolded: "Wang Can, you have gone too far to deceive others. You were just a yellow turban thief at that time. I am an official of the court, and one official is a thief. Why can't I kill you? But you killed the official of the court. Isn't it you?"
It’s your fault?”
Yuan Shu's body was trembling, and Wang Can was furious.
However, he had to gain the upper hand first, so moving Wang Can out was a matter for thieves who wanted to gain the upper hand.
Wang Can said with a smile: "Yuan Gongli, you are a rear general, but a general with no name. If you didn't have the title of fourth generation and third prince of the old Yuan family, what would you have? If I were a thief and you were an official,
But you are a miscellaneous rear general who has no right to conquer all directions, so why should you send troops to attack Runan? Could it be that you have the self-respect of supporting troops, want to separate one side, and plot to usurp the government?"
"Conspiracy to usurp the government?"
When Yuan Shu heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "My dear Wang Can, you are spitting blood on others."
The fourth and third sons of the old Yuan family were all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. If Yuan Shu was labeled as a treason by Wang Can, Yuan Shu's life would not be easy. His eyes were spitting fire and he said loudly: "Wang Can, if you are willing to surrender and
I, I can let go of the past, if you don't surrender, you can't blame me for being ruthless."
Wang Can was amused in his heart, this guy was looking at Hanzhong covetously and wanted to take Hanzhong as his own, so he was wrangling here.
Wang Can immediately refused and said: "Yuan Gongli, you are just a dandy, how can you make me surrender? If I don't surrender, what will you do?"
Yuan Shu immediately said: "We will know after the first battle!"
Wang Can raised his head and said loudly: "If we fight, we will fight. What do I have to fear!"
