Chapter 339 Killing Zhang Lu and Collecting Yanpu (Seventh)
Returning to the Prefect's Mansion from the school grounds in the south of the city, Wang Can changed his attire again, took off his armor, put on a long crown, and put on a black robe again.
Now, Wang Can is getting stronger and stronger, and his requirements for dressing are also higher.
Most of the clothes he usually wears are black, because black is more solemn and can highlight the majesty of the superior. This is not because Wang Can deliberately creates a situation where he is superior to others, but because Wang Can is the prefect of Hanzhong.
, things were busy, and he often had to meet with civil servants and generals in Hanzhong. He had to show the majesty of a county governor in order to convince the crowd.
Back in the hall, Wang Can sent an order to bring Zhang Lu to the hall. Under the leadership of the soldiers, Zhang Lu staggered into the hall, walked to the center of the hall and stood still.
Wang Can waved his hand and drove the soldiers away.
The soldiers left, leaving only Wang Can and Zhang Lu in the hall.
At this time, Zhang Lu looked gloomy, and his face had lost the high-spirited expression he had when he was conquering Wang Can. The three long strands of beard under his chin were uneven, and many of them were cut off. Although the bun on his head was rearranged, it was also the same.
It looks messy.
That's how it is to become a king and lose a bandit.
Wang Can smiled and asked: "Zhang Lu, how did you feel once you became a prisoner?"
Zhang Lu coughed twice, smiling but not smiling, and said coldly: "On this day, I don't have to worry about food or clothing. It's very good, very good. It won't take long before you will be like me."
"
"It won't take long? Haha..."
Wang Can laughed loudly, and the laughter was full of sarcasm. He stared at Zhang Lu and asked with a smile: "How long are you talking about, one year, five years, ten years...a hundred years? Humph, my whole life
No one will become a prisoner. Even a hundred years later, they will not be as useless as you. When you are born, you are a hero, and when you die, you are a ghost. When you are alive, you should be above all living beings and be the master of others; even if you die, you are still a ghost.
The hero among them, the king and hegemony.”
When Zhang Lu heard this, his body trembled.
He raised his head, looked at Wang Can in astonishment, and said: "I thought that my plan to separate Hanzhong was already audacious. I didn't expect that you are also ambitious and don't want to live under others for a long time. This idea is beyond my comparison."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Thank you!"
After a pause, Wang Can asked: "Zhang Lu, are you willing to surrender and submit to me?"
Zhang Luxiao asked: "If I submit, are you not afraid that I will rebel?"
"Afraid, of course I'm afraid!"
Wang Can shrugged, showing an indifferent expression, and said: "What I'm afraid of is the trouble of deploying troops, not your rebellion. I don't care at all about the threat posed by your rebellion, let alone your news.
Is it comparable to my source of information? Just Wen Chen and General Wen Chen, who under your command can compare to the people under my command? A group of rabble who want to rebel is nothing more than a moth chasing a flame and destroying themselves."
Hearing this, Zhang Lu shook his head and said, "I was not defeated unjustly!"
Wang Can suddenly showed his sharp edge and said loudly: "Of course you were not unjustly defeated. From the moment you led the army into Hanzhong, it was destined that you would fail. As far as this battle between the two armies is concerned, you led 36,000
Thousands of troops are approaching with great force, including 30,000 infantrymen and 6,000 elite soldiers. They have sufficient food and grass and no shortage of weapons. It can be said that the troops are strong and the horses are strong, and the momentum is as strong as a tiger."
"Looking at the military strength Hanzhong has, there are only 3,000 Hanzhong infantry, 800 cavalry to break the camp, and 800 infantry to trap the camp. The total is less than 5,000, which is less than one-seventh of your strength. So,
There is a huge gap, but in the end you were completely defeated, so you really didn’t think about it?”
Wang Can showed a solemn look on his face and said in a deep voice: "War is not a child's play, nor is victory based on numbers. Sun Tzu's Art of War once said that the winner is the one who has no battle but temples, and the one who has the temples before the battle is not the winner.
, you have to count with less. If you count with more, you will win, if you count with less, you won’t win, but what if you don’t count? If I look at it this way, I can see the outcome.”
"Furthermore, there is a saying that if you know yourself and the enemy you can fight a hundred battles without danger. When two armies are fighting, they are not only competing in terms of numbers and weapons, but also in various aspects such as strategies and whether they are well-informed. You only have Yan Pu as a counselor. At the same time,
There are no other sources of information, and I have three great advisers, Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Guo Jia, and there is a steady stream of information collected together. I have all the information in my hands about your every move, so you have not won at all.
Opportunity."
"Looking at you again, do you know how strong I am? How many troops are under my command? Do you know the characteristics of the civil servants and generals under my command? Who can be used by you? Who must be killed? You can control everything.
Are you doing things based on your own imagination? Can you accomplish something without preparation based on your imagination? Absolutely impossible!"
After Wang Can finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zhang Lu looked defeated and was speechless after being retorted.
Yes!
He despised Wang Can from the beginning, and did not face Wang Can when he raised troops to attack Wang Can. In such a battle, Zhang Lu was already doomed to fail when the two sides sent troops. This was an impossible war to win.
It could have been Wang Can who won, not Zhang Lu who won by coincidence.
After a long silence, Zhang Lu suddenly straightened his back and showed a solemn look on his face.
Wang Can looked at Zhang Lu and asked again: "Zhang Lu, are you willing to surrender?"
Zhang Lu shook his head and said: "I have my persistence and my pride. I, Zhang Lu, don't obey Liu Yan, I don't obey the emperor, and I won't obey you, Wang Can!"
Wang Can sighed, Zhang Lu chose death after all.
Even so, we can only add swords and axes together.
"Someone is coming!"
Wang Can roared, and the soldiers on patrol outside the hall came in, bowed their hands to Wang Can, lowered their heads slightly, and waited for Wang Can to give orders.
Wang Can said: "Drag him down and show his head to the public!"
"promise!"
The soldier walked towards Zhang Lu and wanted to pull Zhang Lu out. However, Zhang Lu snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and said, "I can leave on my own. You don't need to force me to leave." In response to Wang Can's order, Zhang Lu
He also knew Wang Can's thoughts in his heart. Zhang Lu was still valuable even after his death. Wang Can used him in the end to frighten the people in the city, which was also expected.
During tea time, a scream came from outside the hall.
Wang Can took a deep breath and ordered the soldiers to escort the imprisoned Yan Pu to the hall.
At this time, Yan Pu looked embarrassed, with two bags under his eyes. His clothes were wrinkled, and his spirit seemed a little decadent. Looking at Wang Can sitting in the middle of the hall, Yan Pu gritted his teeth and wanted to rush up and arrest him.
Live with Wang Can and beat him up.
Wang Can glanced at Yan Pu and asked, "Yan Pu, are you willing to submit to me?"
Yan Pu said without thinking, "No!" Although Yan Pu still had some expectations for Wang Can, he immediately rejected Wang Can's words when he heard that Wang Can didn't have any intention of being polite.
How could he be persuaded to submit to Yan Pu with such a tone?
Wang Can was a little agitated after what happened with Zhang Lu, and he didn't want to continue talking nonsense with Yan Pu.
He knew Zhang Lu in his memory, but he had no impression of Yan Pu, so he didn't have much intention to retain him. However, Wang Can thought that it was not easy to recruit talents, so he asked again: "Yan Pu, are you really unwilling to surrender?"
"unwilling"
Yan Pu glanced at Wang Can and directly rejected Wang Can without any hesitation.
Yan Pu was very disgusted with Wang Can's rudeness.
Wang Can snorted coldly and shouted: "Come here!"
The sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and the soldiers who had taken Zhang Lu away quickly ran in, bowed to Wang Can respectfully, and waited for Wang Can's order.
Wang Can shouted: "Drag it down and chop it down!"
"promise!"
Upon hearing this, the soldier walked directly to Yan Pu, picked up Yan Pu and walked out of the hall.
At this time, the look on Yan Pu's face was still calm and not surprised at all, because he thought this was a method used by Wang Can to subdue him. The purpose was to scare him and threaten to kill him.
He surrendered. Therefore, Yan Pu did not show any panic, but was confident that Wang Can would definitely stop the soldiers and take him back to the hall.
However, when the soldiers pulled him out of the hall, Yan Pu immediately panicked.
Wang Can didn't react at all. Doesn't it prove that Wang Can doesn't care about his life or death?
Thinking of this, Yan Pu immediately shouted: "Prefect Wang, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender." He stood on the ground, pulling the soldiers and not letting them take him away, because once he was taken away, he would face
Even with the combined force of swords and axes, there was absolutely no chance of survival. Yan Pu stood outside the hall and roared loudly, regardless of his own face.
After Wang Can heard this, he suddenly laughed.
Some people always like to ask for trouble.
"Put him down!"
Wang Can looked at Yan Pu who was struggling outside the hall, with a playful look in his eyes. After Yan Pu walked into the hall, Wang Can didn't speak and kept silent. Yan Pu looked up at Wang Can and saw Wang Can squinting his eyes slightly.
, secretly thinking that Wang Can must have asked him to speak first. He took a deep breath, put his hands together, and said: "Yan Pu, Yan Zimao, meet my lord!"
This time, Yan Pu bowed to the ground and seemed very sincere.
Wang Can then opened his eyes, nodded, and ordered: "Go to the Chief Registrar's Mansion to find Cheng Yu, and work with him as a small official. If your ability is outstanding, you can be promoted quickly. If your ability is average, you will be poor.
Sutra, just concentrate on writing documents!"
Yan Pu was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Thank you so much, Lord!"
He is confident that his abilities are not weak and he will definitely be reused.
Wang Can waved his hand, and Yan Pu took the initiative to say goodbye and leave. Wang Can looked at Yan Pu's leaving figure and secretly thought that Liu Yan didn't know the situation in Hanzhong, so it was time to give Liu Yan a big gift.
