When the troops under Wang Can and Sun Jian returned to the camp, it was already broad daylight.
After Sun Jian arranged the soldiers to guard the camp, he returned to the camp to rest.
Wang Can sat in the camp, still not asleep. Gao Shun and the five hundred captured camp soldiers imprisoned in the camp were already in Wang Can's hands, at Wang Can's mercy. And what Gao Shun was threatened to do by Wang Can was completely
This made Lu Bu give up on Gao Shun. Now, how to successfully regain Gao Shun is in front of Wang Can. If Gao Shun cannot be conquered, it is impossible for the Five Hundred Factions to become a force under Wang Can.
If you want to conquer the soldiers trapped in the camp, you must first conquer Gao Shun.
Therefore, after Wang Can returned to the camp, he began to think about Gao Shun's affairs.
Just as Wang Can was deep in thought, the sound of steady footsteps came slowly from far to near outside the camp.
After a while, the curtain of the camp tent opened. Zhao Yun, wearing silver-white armor and a long sword hanging on his waist, strode in. After a busy night, Zhao Yun's eyes were red and a little swollen, but his face showed a look of joy. One night,
Lu Bu's camp was burned down and the vanguard army was beaten to pieces. Zhao Yun couldn't help but be unhappy with such a record.
Zhao Yun bowed to Wang Can and said: "My lord!"
Wang Can raised his head, smiled, and asked, "Zilong, you've been busy all night and you still haven't gone to rest."
Zhao Yun said: "My lord has been busy all night, and he hasn't rested yet."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. What's the matter?"
Zhao Yun nodded, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Gao Shun asked the last general to send a message. He has something to say to my lord."
Wang Can exclaimed and said: "Gao Shun actually took the initiative to talk to me... Hehe, it seems Gao Shun can't bear it anymore. Zilong, please bring him in."
"promise!"
Zhao Yun responded with clasped fists, then turned and left the camp.
Wang Can watched Zhao Yun leave the camp, squinting his eyes slightly, and his face returned to calm. He thought that Gao Shun would definitely remain stable, but he didn't expect that Gao Shun actually took the initiative to talk to him. Could it be that Gao Shun couldn't bear it anymore and was going to have a showdown?
If this is the case, it would be a good thing.
During tea time, Gao Shun entered the camp alone.
In the camp, Gao Shun lifted up his robe and sat at the front seat on the left, looking a little embarrassed.
Staring at Wang Can, Gao Shun's eyes showed blazing anger. What Wang Can did made Gao Shun's calm heart unable to calm down. He said in a deep voice: "Prefect Wang, Gao Shun is a common man with no virtue or talent.
, he is just a young general under the lord's command. Why does Wang Taishou tease Gao Shun repeatedly when he has such a fierce general as Zhao Yun? If Wang Taishou wants Gao Shun to surrender, please give up on this idea early. Gao Shun cannot abandon his lord.
Surrender to Governor Wang."
Wang Can smiled and did not continue what Gao Shun said. Instead, he asked: "Gao Shun, the matter has come to this. If you don't want to submit to me, what are you going to do?"
Gao Shun held his head high and said forcefully: "Where to go is Gao Shun's business. I don't bother Governor Wang to think about it for Gao Shun."
Wang Can did not get angry and continued: "Okay, you can consider your own affairs. However, I will ask you one thing. Even if I release you and the trap camp, what are you going to do with the trap camp soldiers?"
? Should you take five hundred soldiers from the trap camp to defect to other princes? Or take five hundred soldiers from the trap camp to return to Lu Bu's command. If you join Lu Bu again, I believe that no matter how much Lu Bu hates you, he will still accept the trap camp, but Lu Bu
Will I accept you?"
Gao Shun gritted his teeth, his face uncertain.
Gao Shun could also understand what Wang Can said.
Gao Shun was not a man of Qin, Mu and Chu, and he never considered surrendering to other princes.
As for returning to Lu Bu's side, Gao Shun had not thought about it. But at night, he followed Wang Can to chase Lu Bu, killed so many Xiliang soldiers, and made Lu Bu flee in confusion. Such a thing happened, even if Lu Bu could accept the trap.
Although there are soldiers in the camp, Lu Bu will definitely be wary of Gao Shun and keep Gao Shun in cold storage, and it is impossible to accept Gao Shun as his confidant again.
Gao Shun was silent for a long time and sighed: "I am willing to take the soldiers trapped in the camp and return to the mountains and forests, and not care about worldly affairs."
"Hahaha... Go into seclusion? Don't care about worldly affairs? It's funny, it's funny..."
Wang Can laughed loudly, with a look of disdain on his face.
Seeing this, Gao Shun scolded: "I'm going to live in seclusion in the mountains. Does Wang Taishou think it's funny?"
"It's funny, I think you are very selfish!" Wang Can sneered and said, "Although you, Gao Shun, are the leader of the trapped camp, can you make decisions on behalf of the soldiers in the trapped camp? Do you have the right to let them follow you in obscurity for the rest of their lives?
Do you have the right to deprive them of the opportunity to get ahead? You don’t have the idea of closing your wife and son. Don’t the five hundred soldiers in the trapped camp have the same idea? Your choice to retreat to the mountains and forests is nothing more than your own wishful thinking and selfishness. "
Gao Shun's face was filled with astonishment, and he was rendered speechless by Wang Can's rebuttal.
Wang Can's words directly touched the weakness in Gao Shun's heart.
People join the army, some do it to provide food and clothing and not be threatened; some people are forced to join the army; some people do it to find a wife and a wife and get ahead. Being stuck in the camp may mean that you are willing to be mediocre, and you are willing to be ordinary.
They are unknown soldiers, but there are definitely many ambitious soldiers who want to make a name for themselves.
As Wang Can said, Gao Shun did not have the right to make decisions for the soldiers.
Wang Can struck while the iron was hot and continued: "I know that you will not lead the soldiers trapped in the camp to defect to other princes, but even if you return to Lu Bu's camp with the soldiers trapped in the camp, you will not be reused by Lu Bu. Lu Bu's vanguard army suffered casualties.
If you are exhausted, you will definitely be punished by Dong Zhuo. In addition, Lu Bu was chased by you all night again. The two situations are superimposed. With Lu Bu's character, he must hate you deeply in his heart and will never accept you again. Return.
Even if you go to Lu Bu's side, you won't get much use. Instead of that, why don't you submit to me and create a great cause with me?"
Gao Shun still shook his head after hearing this.
Wang Can didn't take it seriously and continued: "Lü Bu is arrogant and arrogant. He thinks he is the best in the world and is arrogant. His character is only suitable for a general and cannot be a prince. You are a smart man. You have stayed under Lu Bu for so long.
After a long time, it became clear that Lu Bu would never achieve great things. Besides, Lu Bu had a repetitive character and was nepotistic. Take Wei Xu who was killed as an example. Wei Xu was not very capable and was far from you, but Wei Xu was Lu Bu's
Relatives can be reused, and even if you lead the army and fall into the camp, will Lu Bu really reuse you? Obviously not."
After hearing this, Gao Shun remained silent.
In the clear eyes, the black eyeballs kept turning.
Wang Can talked for a long time, but Gao Shun still didn't say anything.
Wang Can took a deep breath. Obviously, the current situation was very critical. Gao Shun had already relented without continuing to refute. As long as he could go further, he could convince Gao Shun.
Wang Can thought for a while and continued to persuade: "Gao Shun, you have both political integrity and talent, and are both civil and military. You are a rare talent. With peerless skills, are you willing to live in seclusion for a lifetime, and are you willing to let five hundred soldiers fall into the camp?
I will follow you in silence for the rest of my life. A man who is a great man will fight on the battlefield wrapped in horse leather, or he will serve as an official in the court, benefiting the people of the world, and bringing wealth to his family and descendants for a lifetime. Since you have a talent, you should not waste it. "
Having said this, Wang Can stood up, walked slowly to Gao Shun, gave a long bow, and said: "What Wang Can did today was to recruit General Gao. If I have offended him, please forgive me."
General Gao forgives me."
After apologizing, Wang Can stood up and continued: "Wang Can is not talented. Although he is not as brave and invincible as Lu Bu, he cannot be as invincible as Lu Bu on the battlefield. However, Wang Can has a heart that loves talents, is ambitious, and can
Provide a platform for the general to display his talents, and invite General Gao and Wang Can to work together to create great achievements."
Wang Can stared at Gao Shun with burning eyes, waiting for Gao Shun's reply.
Whether to submit or not depends entirely on Gao Shun's thoughts.
Gao Shun stared at Wang Can, looking at this man whose actions were completely unpredictable, with mixed feelings in his heart.
In order to dispel his desire to die, Wang Can did not hesitate to threaten the lives of 500 soldiers in the trap camp; in order to cut off the possibility of him returning to Lu Bu's command, he also threatened the lives of 500 soldiers in the trap camp to make him show his behavior.
The illusion of surrendering to Wang Can also threatened Gao Shun to kill the Xiliang soldiers.
Such an approach can be described as insidious and disgusting.
But this action was done in order to recruit him. It can be said that Wang Can showed enough sincerity. It is not an exaggeration to describe Wang Can as a corporal of courtesy.
It is difficult for Gao Shun to understand such a "courteous and virtuous corporal" and "unscrupulous" person.
At this time, Gao Shun was also very complicated in his heart. Gao Shun knew very well who Lu Bu was. Gao Shun also knew Lu Bu's character very well. Lu Bu could betray anyone for the sake of fame and wealth. At the same time, Lu Bu was also nepotistic.
Character does things. Gao Shun also knew that such a person could not achieve great things, but it was really difficult for Gao Shun to abandon Lu Bu and surrender to Wang Can.
Gao Shun looked complicated and hesitant in his heart.
However, Wang Can showed enough sincerity, how should he respond?
