Wang Can, Guo Jia, and Xun You were seated. The three of them frowned and looked a little solemn.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Wang Can said: "You should all understand the situation now. Hua Xiong was killed by Zilong, the morale of the Xiliang soldiers was low, and Li Jue once again avoided fighting. Although the morale of the allied forces was high
However, after experiencing the night attack on Hulao Pass, the princes were a little afraid of Li Jue's methods and thought about how to preserve their own strength and were unwilling to attack Hulao Pass. In this case, Hulao Pass was
Standing in front of me like a natural chasm, I can't rush through it. Fengxiao and Gongda, what suggestions do you two have?"
Xun You shook his head, not knowing how to answer.
Li Jue had a tolerant temperament, was good at defense and attack, and would avoid getting out of trouble when encountering difficulties. The princes were all afraid of being plotted by Li Jue again and were afraid to move forward.
Stalemate!
Li Jue avoided fighting, and the princes were afraid and unwilling to attack Hulao Pass. Li Jue did not fight, and the princes were unwilling to attack. The two sides were in a deadlock, and no one was willing to take the lead in breaking the balance. Li Jue garrisoned Hulao Pass.
Laoguan Pass, with its geographical advantage, is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, grain and grass can be continuously transported from Luoyang to Hulao Pass. However, the princes and allies have countless mouths waiting for food. The amount of food consumed every day is incalculable. If both sides
The situation is in a stalemate, and the disadvantage is definitely the princes and allies.
Wang Can saw Xun You shaking his head and turned to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia raised his head, met Wang Can's expectant eyes, smiled bitterly, and shook his head.
In a hurry, Guo Jia couldn't think of any good solution. This matter must be discussed in the long run.
"Eh……"
Wang Can sighed in his heart and thought about how to capture Hulao Pass.
In the novel, Hulao Pass was actually not breached. Only when Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an did the princes' allies have the opportunity to enter Luoyang. Now Wang Can is flapping his little butterfly wings. If Li Jue is allowed to secure Hulao Pass, wouldn't things in the future change?
What Wang Can is most proud of is grasping the general trend of the world and knowing the future trend. With these, Wang Can can more easily plan and make profits. If history turns, he will lose his advantage.
Wang Can still needs enough time to grow.
He was just the governor of Hanzhong, and his foundation was too poor.
Just as the three of them were deep in thought, steady footsteps came from outside the tent, and Zhao Yun strode in and said, "My lord, Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang to invite my lord to discuss matters. Do you want to go, my lord?"
"Yan Liang came in person?" Wang Can thought for a moment and said, "Go, of course!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Can stood up and walked out of the tent.
Yuan Shao was hit. Now is the time to make friends with Yuan Shao easily. Of course Wang Can will not let go of such an opportunity.
After leaving the camp, Wang Can saw Yan Liang wearing black armor outside the camp, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, waiting for Wang Can to come out. Wang Can was a little surprised thinking that Yan Liang came to invite him in person. When he was about ten feet away from Yan Liang
At that moment, Yan Liang clasped his fists toward Wang Can and said, "Yan Liang pays homage to Governor Wang!"
Wang Can waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Yan, why bother you to come and invite me? If the leader of the alliance has something to do, can't he just send his soldiers to convey the message?"
Hearing this, Yan Liang opened his mouth with a kind smile and said in a loud voice: "This is the Lord's order. Yan Liang is just here to convey the Lord's order."
Wang Can was stunned, and secretly sighed in his heart that Yan Liang's mouth was so tight that he couldn't speak.
The two of them walked one behind the other towards Yuan Shao's camp.
Along the way, there was silence.
"Prefect Wang, the Lord is in the tent, please!" Hua Xiong led Wang Can to the entrance of Yuan Shao's tent, and stood outside the tent without going inside. Just when Wang Can was about to step into the tent, someone behind him
Hearing Cao Cao's shout, Wang Can looked back and saw Cao Cao and a muscular man wearing armor walking over.
The strong man obviously knew Yan Liang. He nodded slightly to Yan Liang and stayed outside the tent like Yan Liang.
"First, please!"
Cao Cao walked to the big tent and waved his hand.
Wang Can's eyes fell on the strong man next to Cao Cao. He stayed for a moment and sighed in his heart. Judging from the expression on this man's face when he saw Yan Liang, as well as his height and shape, he should be Wen Chou, the general under Yuan Shao's command. Wen Chou
His face, like his name, is a bit hateful and ferocious, making people fearful. Especially the cold aura exuding from Wen Chou's body makes people tremble unconsciously.
"Brother Meng De, please!"
Wang Can came to his senses and waved his hand to signal Cao Cao to invite him first.
Cao Cao did not refuse, opened the tent and walked in. The two of them entered Yuan Shao's tent one after the other.
In the camp, Yuan Shao looked decadent, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole person exuded a feeling of despair. I think Yuan Shao had been hit many times, and his endurance was limited, and he was a little tired. Yuan Shao saw Cao Cao and Wang Can.
They walked into the big tent one after another, Qiang smiled to himself and said: "Mengde, come first, take a seat!"
The voice is hoarse and makes people sound very tired.
"Leader, you came to me and Wei in a hurry. What do you have to discuss?"
Cao Cao sighed secretly when he saw Yuan Shao's expression.
When Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance, he was so high-spirited and complacent. He exuded the momentum of a tiger that could swallow thousands of miles. Now he actually looks decadent and dejected. He is really a dog in the dark, and things are unpredictable. In other words, Yuan Shao is not suitable at all.
He ended up like this because he was the leader of the alliance.
Yuan Shao stared at Cao Cao and said: "Mengde, I want you to be the leader of the alliance, do you like it?"
When Cao Cao heard this, he felt as if he had been stung by a bee on his butt. He stood up suddenly. He walked to the center of the camp, lifted up his robe, knelt on one knee and said, "Leader, what do you mean by this?"
Could it be that you don’t trust Cao Cao and think Cao Cao’s mind is impure?”
Yuan Shao walked down tremblingly, helped Cao Cao up, and said: "Mengde, get up, get up and talk."
After helping Cao Cao up, Yuan Shao continued: "You and I have known each other since childhood and have been close friends. Although we have a good relationship, there is also competition, and we both want to compare with each other. You send a message widely, calling on the princes of the world to attack Dong Zhuo. To express your gratitude, I
I have served as the leader of the alliance of princes, but after so many days, I can't even conquer the small Hulao Pass. Needless to say, I feel ashamed myself and dare not face my fellow villagers. Mengde, I want you to be the leader of the alliance.
You can take charge of the overall situation, conquer Hulao Pass, and get rid of Dong Zhuo."
Wang Can sat nearby and watched the two people's affectionate exchange with cold eyes.
At Yuan Shao's words, Wang Can sneered in his heart. If Yuan Shao was willing to give up his position as leader, the sun would rise in the west.
As for Cao Cao, Wang Can believes that Cao Cao definitely wants to be the leader of the alliance.
As long as Yuan Shao is still alive, Cao Cao will not take the position of leader. Wang Can believes that Cao Cao is a sensible person and can see clearly what Yuan Shao is thinking. Perhaps Yuan Shao is in a state of embarrassment at this moment. On the surface, he looks decadent and dejected, as if he is in his twilight years.
Human, but there must be a dormant tiger hidden in this decadent body. Once the tiger's bottom line is touched, what will be suffered will definitely be the tiger's fierce and domineering claws.
The position of alliance leader is the bottom line in Yuan Shao's heart, Ni Lin.
Wang Can watched the two arguing, shook his head secretly, and couldn't help laughing.
Cao Cao saw Wang Can's expression and quickly looked at Wang Can, asking Wang Can to step down to Yuan Shao.
Wang Can understood the idea and did not embarrass Cao Cao. He stood up and said: "Alliance leader, you are the commander-in-chief elected by all the princes. This cannot be changed. Whether it is Mengde, me, Yuan Jiujiu, Gongsun Zan, or Kong
Rong and others are unable to convince all the princes, only the alliance leader can take charge of the overall situation."
"Li Jue is cunning and tolerant and avoids it. We are only encountering difficulties temporarily. As long as we persist in working hard, we will definitely win. Leader, don't say depressing words or sigh. What we need to do now is to cheer up and cheer up.
Find a way to conquer Hulao Pass!"
When Wang Can spoke, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
On the other hand, Yuan Shao deserved it, and his favorable impression of Wang Can skyrocketed.
At the critical moment, Wang Can's support is needed.
Wang Can's soldiers were all defeated and he was not qualified to serve as the leader of the alliance. When these words came out of Wang Can's mouth, there was no suspicion of being artificial. Yuan Shao felt that this was the truth.
He has to be the leader of the alliance.
Yuan Shao's tragic play uses retreat to advance, just to win over Cao Cao and Wang Can.
