In the afternoon of that day, Xun You and Gao Shun packed up their clothes, left the camp with the injured soldiers and Diao Chan, and returned to Hanzhong.
Pei Yuanshao took over the Xiliang soldiers from Gao Shun and integrated them into the Hanzhong soldiers.
At the same time, Zhao Yun also expanded the military camp to 800 people.
After some actions, the strength of Wang Can's command returned to its peak again, and there was no need to worry about the future. After Pei Yuanshao and Zhao Yun rectified the soldiers, Wang Can led the army to leave Luoyang and pursue Dong Zhuo's army in the direction of Chang'an. The army rushed on without stopping, and a wave of
A group of scouts were sent out to find out the news.
Wang Can and Guo Jia walked side by side and said slowly: "Fengxiao, Dong Zhuo must be very serious about collecting so much money. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to snatch Dong Zhuo's money. Does Fengxiao have any tips?
?”
Guo Jia said: "My lord, trying to seize the money Dong Zhuo plundered is tantamount to snatching food from the mouth of a tiger, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"
"shit!"
Wang Can couldn't help but uttered a vulgar word, rolled his eyes at Guo Jia, and said bitterly: "Feng Xiao, don't I know that trying to steal Dong Zhuo's money is to snatch food from the tiger's mouth? But didn't you stop it? Huh, this is a matter of course.
I’ve dealt with it for you, think carefully about how to get all the money out of Dong Zhuo’s pocket.”
Guo Jia said: "My lord, you are just turning away the shopkeeper, you are irresponsible!"
Wang Can said: "I am the lord, I have the final say."
…
The two of them were talking and laughing, ostensibly trying to push each other off, but in their hearts they were thinking about how to securely and safely snatch away the money Dong Zhuo was escorting.
Snatching food from a tiger's mouth can lead to fire and burn one's body if not careful.
The sun sets slowly and the sky gradually becomes dark.
The army marched continuously for an afternoon, and the soldiers' bodies were already exhausted. Seeing this, Wang Can ordered the soldiers to rest for an hour, eat some solid food, and fill their stomachs before continuing on their way.
"Da da!……"
The two scouts galloped towards Wang Can and Guo Jia.
When Zhao Yun saw that the scout had brought back the news, he also walked to Wang Can's side.
"Report!" The two scouts turned over and dismounted. The scout in front quickly ran to Wang Can and said loudly: "Report to your lord, I have discovered traces of the Xiliang army."
When Wang Can heard this, he stood up suddenly.
His face showed joy and he asked hurriedly: "How far is the Xiliang Army from here?"
The scout thought for a while and replied: "Sir, the specific distance is not clear, but the army has been traveling day and night, and we should be able to catch up with the Xiliang army early tomorrow morning."
Although Wang Can didn't get the exact distance, he could get a vague time.
He thought for a while and then asked: "What is the situation of the Xiliang army? How many Xiliang soldiers are there? Have any traces of Dong Zhuo been found in the army? Are these Xiliang soldiers escorting many boxes?"
Wang Can asked four questions in a row, leaving the scouts dumbfounded.
So many questions, how can he answer them?
The scout thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Reporting to your lord, the Xiliang soldiers discovered by me were the Xiliang soldiers who were responsible for the rear. There was no trace of Dong Zhuo in the army. Moreover, the number of Xiliang soldiers was not large.
There are about 10,000 people, but these 10,000 people are escorting hundreds of thousands of people towards Chang'an. If you want to lead an army to catch up with Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid it will be difficult, because to pursue Dong Zhuo, you must bypass hundreds of thousands of people.
"
"hiss!"
Wang Can took a deep breath and suddenly became confused and froze.
Hundreds of thousands of people, what is this concept?
Wang Can recruited the Xiliang Army, and with his old base, there were only more than 3,000 people, less than 4,000. Facing hundreds of thousands of people, 4,000 people were too small to make a single ripple.
Wang Can knew that Dong Zhuo coerced the people to retreat, but he still felt unbelievable after hearing such a huge number.
Population is everything.
Wang Can suddenly thought of such a sentence, and understood Dong Zhuo's intention of moving hundreds of thousands of people to Chang'an.
However, it is too difficult for four thousand people to bypass hundreds of thousands of people.
Guo Jia stood aside, with neither sadness nor joy on his face, and murmured softly: "A wall of hundreds of thousands of people? If we make good use of it, this is a good opportunity."
Wang Can saw Guo Jia's calm expression and asked, "Fengxiao, have you thought of a solution?"
Guo Jiaxiao said: "Lord, these hundreds of thousands of people are indeed a difficulty. They not only make Chang'an prosperous, but also block our way. I think Li Ru's original intention of letting hundreds of thousands of people stay at the end must be
Li Ru planned to block the pursuing troops, forcing the princes to be unable to pursue Dong Zhuo. However, what Li Ru did not expect was that if these hundreds of thousands of people were used properly, they might not be unable to become a weapon to defeat Dong Zhuo's army. As long as the plan was proper, these hundreds of thousands of people would
The surname is the opportunity for the lord to seize Dong Zhuo's money."
Wang Canxiao asked: "Fengxiao, what are your ideas?"
Guo Jia looked serious and said word by word: "Incite rebellion against the people!"
"incite defection?"
After Wang Can heard this, his heart moved, a look of contemplation appeared on his face, and he considered the feasibility of Guo Jia's plan.
However, instigating rebellion is just a general policy outline, and how to implement it requires long-term planning. Wang Can thought about it and felt that although Guo Jia's strategy was bold, it was not unfeasible. As long as it penetrated into the people and successfully instigated rebellion, hundreds of thousands
People rioted at the same time. You can imagine what a colorful scene it would be.
The more Wang Can thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him, and he immediately said: "Okay, just follow the words of filial piety."
Guo Jiaxiao asked: "My lord, has he planned to rebel?"
Wang Can waved his hand and dismissed the scout, saying: "Let's discuss it carefully and perfect the plan so that we can complete the first step in seizing Dong Zhuo's money."
The two found an open space, whispered, and kept perfecting their plan to instigate the people.
An hour later, the army continued to set off.
Wang Can called Pei Yuanshao and Zhao Yun and ordered: "The army will march all night, and strive to catch up with the Xiliang army that Dong Zhuo used to back up early tomorrow morning, and implement the next step of the plan."
"promise!"
Zhao Yun and Pei Yuan received the order and immediately went to convey the order.
The night was dark, but the sound of footsteps and the clatter of horse hooves kept ringing in the night sky. Wang Can led the army and rushed through the night, hoping to catch up with the hundreds of thousands of people escorted by the Xiliang Army.
Hundreds of thousands of people marched very slowly.
For the soldiers under Wang Can, it was easy to catch up with hundreds of thousands of people.
When a touch of fish belly white rose in the eastern sky, the army led by Wang Can was about to catch up with the Xiliang army. Wang Can looked at Zhao Yun first and asked: "Zilong, how far is it from the camp where the Xiliang army is stationed?"
how far?"
Zhao Yun said: "My lord, according to the scouts' report, there is still ten miles to go."
After hearing this, Guo Jia said: "My lord, the army can stop. If we get too close to the Xiliang army, we will be easily discovered."
Wang Can nodded in agreement with Guo Jia's opinion and ordered: "The army will rest where it is and be vigilant."
After Zhao Yun heard this, he immediately conveyed the order.
While the army was resting, Wang Can sent someone to find Zhao Yun and Pei Yuanshao, and ordered: "Zilong, Pei Yuanshao, each of you select a hundred soldiers under your command who are absolutely reliable and smart, and find them.
I have something important to tell them to do."
Upon hearing this, both of them turned around and carried out the order.
Pei Yuanshao looked excited and geared up, finally going to fight Dong Zhuo's army again. Zhao Yun looked solemn, thinking about which soldiers to choose from the army camp.
The two of them had their own thoughts and returned to the military formation to start selecting soldiers.
