In the side room, the dark yellow flames swayed slightly, and two blurry figures were reflected on the wall.
Wang Can and Xun You sat opposite each other, Xun You looked serious, and Wang Can looked sleepy.
Rubbing his sore eyes, Wang Can looked at Xun You, yawned, and asked angrily: "Gongda, it's already midnight. Is there anything urgent about coming to me so late?"
On the third watch day, converted to 24 hours, it belongs to the time period from 23 o'clock to 1 o'clock.
At this time, most people have already fallen asleep, and Wang Can is no exception.
Xun You hurried to Wang Can's room and woke Wang Can up from his sleep. Although he was woken up while he was sleeping soundly and seemed a little tired, Xun You must have something very important when he came to visit late at night.
Therefore, Wang Can braced himself and waited for Xun You's report.
Xun You was sitting in the room, feeling very energetic and not feeling tired at all.
He slowly took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Can, and said: "My lord, this is the letter Wang Yue sent at great speed from Luoyang. It was just delivered to the military camp. I think the letter may contain important information.
, I came to see my lord in a hurry, and I asked my lord to forgive me for disturbing my rest!"
Wang Can waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing serious.
"Hey!"
Wang Can tore off the seal on the envelope, opened the envelope, and took out the letter paper from the envelope. There were several pages of paper in the envelope. Wang Can could read ten lines at a glance, and he browsed very quickly. It didn't take long to finish all the pages.
After reading the contents on the letter paper, he immediately handed the letter in his hand to Xun You.
Xun You took the letter and read it carefully.
Xun You just glanced at the contents of the first and second pieces of paper and skipped them. Because the things recorded on the first and second pieces of paper were all about how Wang Yue got Cai Yong out of Luoyang and sent him to Hanzhong.
The things recorded on the letter paper at the back are all about what Dong Zhuo did in Luoyang and the movements of Dong Zhuo's army.
"Huhu..."
After a while, Xun You read the contents on the letter and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Immediately, Xun You sighed: "My lord, the situation in Luoyang is a bit serious!"
Wang Can nodded and said: "Yes, Dong Zhuo is running amok in Luoyang, imposing extortionate taxes, and allowing his Xiliang soldiers to plunder wealthy merchants and wealthy families. Now the situation in Luoyang is very chaotic..."
After saying this, Wang Can raised his eyebrows.
robbery!
Dong Zhuo allowed the Xiliang soldiers to loot everywhere. Doesn't this mean that Dong Zhuo started to collect money and start planning to move the capital to Chang'an? However, the envelope did not mention Dong Zhuo's robbery of the royal tombs. It should be some time before moving the capital, and Dong Zhuo is now
Still thinking about how to defeat the Allies.
However, the Xiliang army was really defeated by the Allies, and I'm afraid Dong Zhuo was really going to prepare to move the capital.
"Lord, what's wrong? Is something wrong?"
When Xun You saw Wang Can was halfway speaking, he was filled with doubts. Could there be something else going on?
Wang Can shook his head and did not say what he was thinking. Dong Zhuo's move to the capital was still unknown, and what he said was just alarmist and shocking. However, Wang Can kept it in mind that such a thing would happen sooner or later, so prepare early.
, and can also obtain more benefits from it.
"Gongda, Dong Zhuo, with Lu Bu as the vanguard and Li Jue as the general, raised an army to attack the allied forces of the princes. What do you think?"
Wang Can changed the topic and returned to the last thing mentioned on Wang Yue's envelope.
Xun You thought for a while and said: "From your point of view, Dong Zhuo will definitely not avoid fighting with Lu Bu as the vanguard this time. Lu Bu is a great general, brave and good at fighting, and invincible. Dong Zhuo's arrangement must be his intention
Have an open and honest confrontation with the princes and allies, and use Lu Bu to defeat the allies to restore the morale of the Xiliang army."
Wang Can nodded, squinting his eyes slightly, thinking about Lu Bu.
"Gongda, it's already late at night, go back and rest!" Wang Can waved his hand and said softly.
Xun You cupped his hands and said, "My lord, you leave!"
After finishing speaking, Xun You stood up and left Wang Can's wing.
In the room, Wang Can sat quietly alone. He was disturbed by the content of the letter and no longer felt sleepy. Anyone who knows something about Lu Bu's abilities in the Three Kingdoms knows very well Lu Bu's inhuman fighting power and toughness.
Wu Pi is simply a humanoid fighting machine. The Fangtian painted halberd in his hand is sharp and fierce, and the red rabbit under his crotch is thousands of miles away. Coupled with Lu Bu's own martial arts, Wang Can has absolute reasons to believe that Zhao Yun is not Lu Bu's opponent yet.
.
If Lu Bu goes to battle, who can stop him?
How to deal with Lu Bu?
How to preserve strength?
How to profit from chaos?
Everything needs to be considered carefully and clearly by Wang Can. Wang Can now only has 800 soldiers and basically does not need to go to war. But there is one disadvantage for Wang Can. Wang Can's number is too small and cannot form a large-scale lethality.
Even if the eight hundred soldiers were not afraid of death and fought bravely, they would still be short of firepower. After all, their numbers were small.
Just like Dong Zhuo's three thousand flying bear army, they are all excellent cavalry and their combat effectiveness is quite powerful.
If Wang Can's ruined military camp had a thousand people, Wang Can would be satisfied.
Benefit!
What Wang Can needs now is real and tangible benefits, other things are too ethereal.
Previously, when Wang Can set out from Hanzhong, he was thinking about training his troops and generals, and improving his reputation by defeating Dong Zhuo. Through fighting on the battlefield, the soldiers were indeed trained, and they were not afraid of death, and they were brave enough to advance, but there were only 800 soldiers left.
The remaining soldiers lost nearly three-quarters of the Hanzhong soldiers. At the same time, Wang Can's reputation also increased through the crusade against Dong Zhuo.
But in the final analysis, Wang Can still got nothing.
Food, grass, soldiers, and money seemed to have been harvested.
After the Battle of Hulaoguan, Wang Can's thinking gradually began to change. He could not seek benefits from fighting to strengthen himself. Wang Can simply refused to come and stayed in Hanzhong to develop his own strength in a low-key manner.
…
Cao Cao's wing was also brightly lit.
Cao Cao looked solemn, holding a letter in his hand, with a look of regret in his eyes.
If they adopt his suggestion, before Dong Zhuo has any plans, the Allies will take advantage of the great victory to pursue the Xiliang soldiers, and when they approach Luoyang, they will definitely catch Dong Zhuo off guard. Now that Dong Zhuo has been given the opportunity to mobilize his troops, the Allies will
It is necessary to face Dong Zhuo's army head-on. In this situation, many princes have other thoughts in their hearts and are afraid to move forward.
Cao Cao was angry but couldn't stop it.
He had objections to Yuan Shao's insistence on keeping the army at Hulao Pass, and he was also unhappy with Wang Can's approach. Obviously Wang Can also knew the benefits of pursuing the enemy while they were victorious, but supported Yuan Shao in staying at Hulao Pass.
"Oh, what a pity, what a pity!"
Cao Cao sighed repeatedly, with a look of helplessness on his face.
The princes from all walks of life raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo. On the surface, they were in harmony, but secretly they were working on their own affairs and had different ideas. This situation made Cao Cao very worried. When the Allied Forces faced the powerful and fierce Xiliang Army, could all the princes unite and send troops?
Confronting Dong Zhuo is the problem we are currently facing.
…
Yuan Shao also got the news and sat on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Unlike Cao Cao and Wang Can, Yuan Shao's face was ashen and his expression was ferocious.
What happened in Luoyang was very different from what Yuan Shao expected. According to Yuan Shao's speculation, Dong Zhuo would definitely be angry and kill people when he knew that the Xiliang army was defeated. However, Dong Zhuo not only did not get angry, but was very broad-minded.
, once again appointed Li Jue as general, and Li Jue would lead the army to attack the allies of the princes, with Lu Bu as the vanguard. This kind of thing was completely beyond Yuan Shao's expectation, and Yuan Shao was filled with anger.
The emperor is not dead!
The minister of the DPRK is not dead!
If he had known about this situation, Yuan Shao would have sent his troops to attack Luoyang.
It's a pity that there is no chance to repeat the situation. Yuan Shao set up the trap himself, and only Yuan Shao himself has to swallow the bitter consequences. Now the allied forces of the princes are facing Dong Zhuo's army, and there is only one battle left.
…
Like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, many other princes also received news from Luoyang.
The princes from all walks of life began to think about their own affairs in their hearts.
