Hanzhong County, Nanzheng County, ten miles away to the southeast.
Hundreds of people were crowded, looking into the distance, as if waiting for something.
Directly in front of the crowd, a carriage was parked.
Next to the carriage, stood an energetic old man. This old man had white hair and beard, and his silver-white hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. The old man was wearing a dark blue robe, standing in the cold.
He looked into the distance in the wind, with a look of anticipation in his eyes. The old man's back was slightly protruding and he looked a little stooped, but the old man's thin body stood in the cold wind, still straight, standing like a pine, unmoving.
.
Especially the old man's eyes were piercing and as deep as the starry sky.
"Uncle, the weather is a bit cold and you are prone to cold. Go back to the carriage and wait!"
A man with a stern face, eyes like lightning, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a long beard under his chin looked at the old man standing in the cold wind, and couldn't help but make a sound of persuasion.
Hearing this, the old man smiled and said: "Zhongde, you are almost fifty years old, aren't you standing in the cold wind and waiting first? If you are not afraid, what do you have to be afraid of with my old bones?"
Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde!
The person who persuaded the old man was Cheng Yu, who stayed behind in Hanzhong. At this time, Cheng Yu's cheeks had already shown traces of the passage of time, and he looked a little older. However, Cheng Yu's tall and thin body stood upright without any rickets, and his overall spirit was quite good.
, especially those cold eyes, which are full of majesty, making people feel awe.
The person Cheng Yu persuaded was Cai Yong, who was sent to Hanzhong.
Cheng Yu listened to Cai Yong's words and smiled bitterly in his heart. Cai Yong was older than him, and his words were also arrogant and unreasonable. Cheng Yu was slightly younger, had strong bones, and was not afraid of wind and cold. However, Cai Yong was nearly sixty years old, and compared with
Cheng Yu is older, but he said that Cheng Yu is not afraid, and he is even less afraid of Cai Yong. What kind of truth is this when comparing older people with younger people?
Looking at Cai Yong's expectant eyes, Cheng Yu found it funny.
When Cai Yong was sent to Hanzhong by the people from the Hero Building, he was unwilling in every possible way.
However, Cai Yong had stayed in Hanzhong for a long time and watched Hanzhong getting better day by day under Wang Can's rule, and his mood gradually improved.
In addition, Cheng Yu is over 50 years old and Cai Yong is over 60 years old. They are about the same age. They are both old guys. They have more contact with each other, and their feelings will naturally come out. Cai Yong admires Cheng Yu's governance.
Hanzhong's methods, Cheng Yu admired Cai Yong's talent. The two had only known each other for a short time, but they had become close friends.
Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Uncle, my bones are very good and I am not afraid of the wind and cold. But although you can hold on, don't wait for the lord to come back and you fall down. Then the gains will not be worth the losses."
Cai Yong laughed and scolded: "Well, Cheng Zhongde, even if you fall down, I can still stand."
Xun You stood behind the two of them. When he saw the two talking, he interrupted and said with a smile: "Mr. Bozhe, Mr. Zhong De, from your point of view, both of you are half-assed. You shouldn't stand here waiting for the lord for a long time, or both."
Go back to the carriage and rest, it is enough for me to wait here for your lord."
"If you want to go back, go back by yourself!"
Cai Yong and Cheng Yu said in unison.
After saying that, both of them were stunned, then looked at each other and laughed loudly.
"He's back, the prefect is back!"
Suddenly, the soldier standing at the front saw a black flag fluttering in the wind in the distance. The black flag was embroidered with a big word "王", and he immediately shouted loudly.
It's cold in spring, and the cold wind makes the flags rustle.
The big black flag appeared in everyone's sight, making the atmosphere suddenly lively.
Cai Yong, Cheng Yu, and Xun You all looked into the distance and saw the flags fluttering in the wind. At the same time, they also saw a vague figure at the front of the team advancing continuously.
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Can's face could be clearly seen.
I saw Wang Can riding a black war horse, wearing black chainmail and a golden helmet. He had a bright red cloak behind him, a long sword hanging on his waist, and a sword hanging on the side of the horse's belly.
Longbows and horses were coming at a fast speed. The cold wind blew, and the bright red cloak was raised, like a fiery red elf following behind Wang Can. At a glance, Wang Can was handsome, majestic, and desirable.
Behind Wang Can, Zhao Yun and Pei Yuanshao walked side by side, with happy expressions on their faces.
After being away from Hanzhong for several months, I finally came back.
Guo Jia looked at the crowded scene in front of him with red eyes and an excited expression.
Wang Can's eyes were so sharp that he saw Cai Yong and Cheng Yu standing at the front. He was so excited that he immediately clamped his legs on the horse's belly, exerted force and rushed forward. The black horse galloped like a whirlwind.
, the slightly cold wind whistled by his ears, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Can arrived in front of Cheng Yu and Cai Yong.
With a happy face, Wang Can got off his horse, walked quickly to Cai Yong, bent down and bowed deeply to Cai Yong, and said with a sincere expression: "Disciple Wang Can, please pay my respects to the teacher. How is the teacher?"
"Okay, very good!"
Cai Yong laughed out loud, and the wrinkles on his old face stretched out. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were like blooming chrysanthemums, full of joy. Cai Yong showed a happy look on his face, stretched out his hand to help Wang Can, and said: "Just come back, come back
That's good." After a pause, Cai Yong said again: "I also heard that you defeated Dong Zhuo this time, well done!"
Wang Can smiled and said: "The teacher praises you, but the disciple is ashamed."
Cai Yong said seriously: "This is your credit. Is there anything you shouldn't take credit for?"
Wang Can could not refute Cai Yong's words and could only nod in agreement. He glanced at Cai Yong with deep gratitude in his eyes. Without Cai Yong, he would have gone to Luoyang to seek an official position as a Yellow Turban thief, and he would not have successfully become a
The prefect of Hanzhong; without Cai Yong, Wang Can would not have been favored by Cai Yan's little Lolita; without Cai Yong, Wang Can would not have slept with the beautiful Diao Chan by chance...
In short, Cai Yong can be said to be the nobleman who Wang Can traveled to the Three Kingdoms.
For Cai Yong, Wang Can is really full of gratitude.
After a while, Wang Can calmed down his excitement, turned to look at Cheng Yu, bent down and saluted Cheng Yu.
"Lord, what are you doing?"
Cheng Yu was immediately shocked by Wang Can's sudden action. Wang Can is the king, Cheng Yu is the minister, and the king is the guide for his ministers. As Wang Can's subordinate, how dare Cheng Yu accept Wang Can's bow and salute, so he quickly pulled out Wang Can's hand.
, said: "My lord, I can't do it, I can't do it. How can Cheng Yu bear such a great gift from my lord?"
Even so, Cheng Yu's eyes still showed excitement.
In front of so many people, Wang Can valued him so much. It was his blessing to have such a master.
Wang Can insisted on bowing down and said: "Mr. Zhongde, Mr. Zhongde deserves this gift."
Seeing Wang Can's insistence, Cheng Yu had no choice but to let Wang Can go. He was an old guy and not as strong as Wang Can. In addition, Wang Can was the lord. If Wang Can said he could bear it, then he could bear it.
After Wang Can bowed and bowed, he stood up, held Cheng Yu's hand, and said in a deep voice: "In the past, Emperor Gaozu defeated Xiang Yu and pacified the world. He once praised Zhang Liang's strategizing and won the battle thousands of miles away. Zhang Liang had to make suggestions.
Only then can everything be counted; Xiao He controls the country, cares for the people, provides military pay, and has constant food supply. With the help of Xiao He, Gao Zu has no worries; Han Xin, commanding millions of people, will win every battle and capture every attack, and pacify the world for Gao Zu. These three
This is the key to Gaozu's defeat of Xiang Yu."
"Now Zhong De Gong is sitting in Hanzhong to solve Hanzhong's worries. Zhong De Gong can be called my Xiao He!"
"Gongda is at my side, his strategy is unparalleled, he can win thousands of miles, Gongda can be called my son-in-law!"
"Zilong leads the military camp, fights on the battlefield, and is invincible. Zilong can be called my Han Xin!"
"Feng Xiao is good at making strange plans, and his plans are unpredictable and frightening. Feng Xiao can be called my Chen Ping!"
"These four are my limbs and are indispensable."
Wang Can's expression was sincere, and his sharp face showed a solemn look. At this time, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun had already walked up. They both looked excited after hearing Wang Can's words. Although there were some discrepancies in Wang Can's words, after all, Cheng Yu studied Legalism.
He was good at governing without sacrificing the comfort of the people and stabilizing the rear. But Cheng Yu's talent was enough to stabilize the small Hanzhong.
As for Zhao Yun, he has just finished his studies and still needs to grow up. Whether he can become a handsome man like Han Xin who can command an army of millions depends on how he develops in the future.
Guo Jia was also very excited and felt lucky to have served Wang Can as his master.
The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king!
Cai Yong stood aside. After listening to Wang Can's words, his expression changed drastically, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
At this moment, Cai Yong seemed to be confused about Wang Can. He once heard Wang Can say such heroic words: "Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness." He thought that Wang Can was loyal to the court and loyal to the Liu family.
. But now it seems that the world Wang Can talks about is not the world of the Liu surname, but the world of the common people of the Han Dynasty.
However, as Wang Can's teacher, he also had the title of quasi-father-in-law, which made Cai Yong silent.
Wang Can looked at the familiar faces with a happy expression on his face.
His eyes passed through Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Cai Yong, and when he looked around, he saw Zhou Cang's body upright, standing quietly at the back. Seeing this, Wang Can was moved in his heart. Zhou Cang was steady and capable, and it was indeed true that he would stay in Hanzhong.
Feeling a little aggrieved, Wang Can strode up to Zhou Cang, held Zhou Cang's hand, and said, "Zhou Cang, you stayed in Hanzhong to stabilize the rear, thank you for your hard work!"
One sentence moved Zhou Cang deeply.
All the grievances were completely dissipated.
What's left is just a burst of motivation and the idea of doing my best to serve Wang Can.
When Wang Can returned to Hanzhong, everyone was very happy, except Cai Yong who was a little disappointed.
Cai Yong stood aside and watched with cold eyes. When he saw Wang Can greeting everyone and comforting the officials who stayed in Hanzhong, he sighed in his heart.
After a few months, Wang Can's appearance has not changed much, but his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. His demeanor is calm and leisurely, showing everyone's style. And what Wang Can said to Cheng Yu, Xun You and others
His words and tactics were very sophisticated. With just a few words, Cheng Yu and others were completely loyal to Wang Can.
Cai Yong was well-informed and admired this method.
With these loyal ministers, Cai Yong didn't know what Wang Can's future would be like, and he didn't dare to imagine Wang Can's future.
After Wang Can appeased everyone, he ordered: "Let's set off and return to the Sheriff's Mansion."
"promise!"
Everyone responded in unison and began to return to the Nanzheng County Sheriff's Mansion.
