Wang Can returned to the study, immediately wrote a letter, and sent someone to Nanzheng Hero Building overnight to ask Wang Yue to deal with the affairs of Yan Yan's family.
In ancient China, transportation was underdeveloped. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, horses were used as communication tools.
Therefore, there are eight-hundred-mile express, six-hundred-mile express, three-hundred-mile express...and so on are all expressions of the speed of delivering messages. Now that Wang Can defeated Yan Yan, it happened just now, and it was limited to the people in the city.
Know. It is impossible to be like the Internet age in later generations, where what happens in one place will be known to all parts of the country within a minute or two.
The news of Yan Yan's defeat would not reach Liu Yan's ears for more than ten days. This period of time also gave Wang Can the opportunity to bring Yan Yan's family to Hanzhong.
However, whether it can succeed depends on the ability of Wang Yue's spies.
After handling various matters, Wang Can went to rest.
Early the next morning, Wang Can led his troops and left Baocheng. Before leaving, he naturally had some pleasantries with the wealthy Baocheng clan headed by Li Li, talking about some nonsensical nonsense. The mountain trail leading from Baocheng to Nanzheng was blocked.
Wang Can sealed it with huge rocks. Wang Can ordered Li Li to send people to cut through the large rocks blocking the valley road and restore the passage so as not to affect pedestrians passing by. In short, Wang Can took care of all the things that had been backlogged in Baocheng so that they would not be left behind.
Influence the people of Baocheng.
After chatting for a long time, Wang Cancai led the soldiers to leave Baocheng and headed towards Nanzheng.
The army was on its way, and the hands and feet of the Yizhou soldiers who surrendered were all tied with ropes. The ropes functioned like shackles and handcuffs, which limited the range of activities of the Yizhou soldiers, but they were not heavy and could only affect their movements. Compared with the Yizhou soldiers,
, Yan Yan and Yan Zhi tied their hands and drove on in a carriage instead of being escorted in a prison car. Naturally, it was Wang Can who wanted to subdue Yan Yan, so he allowed Yan Yan and Yan Zhi to enjoy this kind of treatment, otherwise they would not have been allowed to do so.
People enjoy this kind of treatment.
In the carriage, Yan Zhi leaned against the frame of the carriage with a calm expression and asked: "Brother, if you go to Hanzhong with your life or death uncertain, what should you do?"
Yan Yan shook his head and said: "If you are captured by Wang Can, you will be a prisoner. What can you do?"
Yan Zhi chuckled and said, "Brother, I have thought about it for a long time and have a plan to escape from Wang Can."
Yan Yan stared at Yan Zhi, remained silent for a long time, and then asked: "Azhi, it's a good thing that you can come up with a solution. But instead of trying to hurt you for my brother's sake, why don't you ask yourself, can the solution you come up with hide from Guo Fengxiao? This man is very thoughtful.
, you have talents in the world, and you have the ability of ghosts and gods. You are a martial artist, how can you hide your little thoughts from him."
Yan Zhi said: "Do your best and listen to fate. No matter whether it works or not, you have to give it a try."
"you say!"
Yan Yan came to Yan Zhi's side with a helpless smile on her face.
Yan Zhi lowered his voice and said: "Wang Can values eldest brother very much. In this case, why didn't eldest brother pretend to surrender to Wang Can? However, eldest brother's condition is to take over two thousand Yizhou troops under his command and lead troops to attack Liu Yizhou. If Wang Can
Can agree to let the eldest brother lead the army to go out, wouldn't it be like a dragon in the sea, and the eldest brother can get rid of Wang Can's shackles."
Yan Yan's eyes rolled, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Although it is a trick to surrender, it is not impossible to give it a try."
After waving his hand, Yan Yan said: "Come here and I will talk to you in detail."
The two leaned against each other and whispered for a long time before nodding to each other and smiling on their faces.
The army marched slowly and continued to advance. When it got dark, the army set up camp and stopped to rest. In the tent of Yan Zhi and Yan Yan, they sat opposite each other, both with their hands tied behind their backs to prevent them from escaping. Outside the tent
, and there were soldiers guarding them, specifically responsible for guarding the two of them.
The two of them stayed inside the tent and looked outside the tent from time to time.
"Brother, if Wang Can wants to recruit you, he should send someone to find you. Why hasn't he sent someone after so long?" Yan Zhilianshan looked anxious and a little impatient.
Yan Yan shook his head and said: "Don't be in a hurry, wait slowly, someone will come."
While speaking, Yan Yan also showed an anxious look.
We have already discussed it, so why doesn’t Wang Can show up?
However, things were beyond Yan Yan's expectation. After Wang Can surrendered him in the hall of Baocheng County Government, no one was sent to look for him when the army stopped tonight. It was really strange. Time gradually passed, and an hour later,
Two hours...three hours later, there was still no sound outside the camp, and it was so quiet that it made people feel panicked.
"Da da!……"
The sound of footsteps came from far to near, coming from outside the big tent.
Yan Zhi heard the sound of footsteps and became energetic. He nodded towards Yan Yan and lowered his voice and said: "Brother, Wang Can must have sent someone here. Let me see if the two of us work together to get Wang Can in.
"
Yan Yan smiled slightly, straightened her body, and nodded in agreement.
Not long after, the battalion commander opened the door curtain.
Yan Zhi turned his head and looked, and saw that it was Wang Can who entered the camp, with a look of joy on his face. With him adding fuel to the fire, Yan Yan had a great chance of gaining Wang Can's trust and taking over the military power. As long as he has
With Wang Can's trust, Yan Yan can lead his troops into battle, escape, and maybe turn against Wang Can in one fell swoop.
Yan Zhi's eyes stayed on Wang Can, waiting for Wang Can to speak.
Yan Yan squinted at Wang Can, snorted, and said nothing.
Sure enough, after Wang Can walked in, he said: "Two generals, the night is dark, go to bed early. If you rest too late at night, you may not have the energy to travel tomorrow."
After speaking, Wang Can nodded and prepared to leave.
In an instant, Yan Yan and Yan Zhi were dumbfounded. How could this be the case?
Didn't Wang Can want to recruit Yan Yan to surrender? Why did he suddenly stop talking? There were looks of surprise on both of their faces, and they were both very disappointed. Seeing that Wang Can was about to leave, Yan Zhi had an idea and hurriedly shouted: "Prefect Wang
, I have persuaded the eldest brother to surrender to Governor Wang. Although the eldest brother is a little moved, there are two conditions that require Governor Wang to agree to, otherwise he will not surrender to death."
"Oh, there are those two conditions, let's talk about them."
Wang Can stopped, with a look of curiosity on his face.
Yan Yan vowed not to surrender yesterday and resolutely refused Wang Can's solicitation. Today, he actually thought about surrendering. It's really strange! Wang Can stared at Yan Yan and saw Yan Yan sitting there, still not moving, and he was even more confused.
Why did Yan Yan want to surrender voluntarily overnight?
Yan Zhi coughed twice and said: "Prefect Wang, it took a lot of efforts to persuade the eldest brother before he nodded and agreed. The eldest brother has two conditions: first, let things be bygones and not pursue past wrongdoings. At the same time,
, more than two thousand Yizhou soldiers must be returned to the eldest brother, and he will still be led by the eldest brother; secondly, Taishou Wang is fighting with Liu Yizhou, and the eldest brother has surrendered. Taishou Wang has not made any achievements, and he is willing to lead the troops to the battlefield to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, and attack the city for Taishou Wang.
Village. As long as Taishou Wang agrees to these two points, the eldest brother is willing to submit to Taishou Wang and be used by Taishou Wang."
Wang Can stared at Yan Yan, and when he saw that he was motionless, he sneered in his heart, but did not show anything on his face.
This is not a sincere surrender, it is clearly a false surrender.
After surrendering, he still has to capture the two thousand Yizhou soldiers under his command. This is not what a surrendering general should do. Not only that, Yan Yan also has to lead the Yizhou soldiers on the battlefield. It would be better if Yan Yan left directly with the soldiers.
There was no loss to Wang Can, but if Yan Yan led two thousand Yizhou soldiers to fight back during the confrontation between the two armies, wouldn't it put Wang Can's army into a passive situation instantly?
Yan Yan and Yan Zhi both stared at Wang Can. Although their faces didn't show anything, they were uneasy in their hearts.
In fact, Yan Yan's plan was to perform a double act.
When Wang Can took the initiative to surrender, he immediately rejected Wang Can. At this time, Yan Zhi came to play the role and persuaded Yan Yan to surrender. With Yan Zhi's cooperation, the two of them sang and harmonized without any flaws. In the end, Yan Yan said two more words
The bottom line should be stated directly without losing any integrity. This way, Wang Can can make his own decision, and things will be more complete.
However, Yan Zhi said it abruptly and was full of flaws, making both Yan Yan and Yan Zhi unsure that Wang Can would agree, especially since Wang Can was likely to see through their plan.
Wang Can's eyes wandered over Yan Yan and Yan Zhi, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
When Yan Yan saw this, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that the matter might have failed.
Yan Zhi felt uneasy and felt something was wrong.
"Haha..." Wang Can suddenly laughed loudly, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the two of you can submit to me, you are indeed a momentary hero, and you can see the situation clearly. General Yan, don't worry, I will accept the two conditions you mentioned
They all agreed, allowing you to take the two thousand surrendered Yizhou soldiers into your command, and also allow you to lead the troops in battle and make achievements."
Yan Yan bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Prefect Wang."
Yan Zhi also paid his respects and said, "Thank you so much, Prefect Wang, for your support."
Listening to the two people continuing to call 'Wang Taishou', Wang Can frowned slightly and secretly thought that the two people's pretense was fake and they couldn't even say the word 'Lord'. Immediately, a smile appeared on his face,
Said: "The night is already deep. The two generals should rest early. They will continue their journey tomorrow."
"promise!"
The two nodded and looked at Wang Can gratefully, both with excitement.
After Wang Can left, Yan Yan quickly calmed down and said, "Azhi, I always feel that something is wrong. You mentioned two conditions. It is obviously a trick to surrender. Why did Wang Can agree immediately?"
Yan Zhi said carelessly: "Brother is overly worried. Wang Can wants to recruit the eldest brother to surrender. Naturally, he will not refuse anyone who comes. He will agree first. As long as the eldest brother is willing to surrender, the conditions proposed do not touch Wang Can's bottom line. Wang Can
I will definitely promise to the elder brother." At this point, Yan Zhi sighed and said: "Actually, although Wang Can is an enemy, he values the elder brother very much. It is much better than Liu Yizhou who comes and goes at a moment's notice. If the elder brother can be with Wang Can
It’s not a bad thing to do things under Can’s command.”
Yan Yan looked solemn and shouted: "Azhi, pay attention to the propriety of your words."
Yan Zhi shook his head but said nothing.
In the camp, the lights went out and the two of them went to sleep.
After Wang Can inspected the camp, he returned to the camp and immediately summoned Guo Jia. After Guo Jia entered the camp, Wang Can told what happened to Yan Yan, and then said: "Feng Xiao, Yan Yan and Yan Zhi pretended to surrender and wanted to take the
The soldiers continued to flee. Even though it was a false surrender, I agreed to Yan Yan and allowed him to continue to lead the Yizhou army and also allowed him to lead troops to attack Liu Yan."
Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "My lord, it is correct to stabilize Yan Yan with the dragging tactics. As long as the army arrives in Nanzheng, Yan Yan's family members will be brought to Nanzheng to test Yan Yan's reaction."
Wang Can nodded and said: "That's what I planned too, but I'm worried that Yan Yan will lead the army on an expedition and never return."
Guo Jiadao: "My lord, there is no need to worry at all. When Yan Yan's wife and children arrive in Nanzheng, my lord will summon Yan Yan to the prefect's mansion and have a frank conversation to see how Yan Yan reacts? What if Yan Yan is not worried about the safety of his wife and children at all?"
, the lord must not let Yan Yan out, he must be imprisoned; if Yan Yan is worried about the safety of his wife and children, then the lord can let Yan Yan lead the troops to fight. Only when Yan Yan is bound can he submit to the lord."
Wang Can said: "Fengxiao's words are reasonable, so let's do it."
Guo Jia stood up, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I resign from my humble position!"
Wang Can hummed and waved his hand to signal Guo Jia to leave.
Wang Can sat alone in the big tent with a faint smile on his face. After returning to Nanzheng, the army would be able to gather together. Even if Liu Yan still had an army that had not yet been exposed, Wang Can was not afraid. After all,
Nanzheng also has absolute defensive power. Gao Shun is stationed in Nanzheng, which is enough to ensure that Nanzheng is worry-free.
The next day, the army continued on its way.
Yan Zhi and Yan Yan continued to sit in the carriage, their hands still tied.
This situation made the two of them feel uneasy.
Because Wang Can accepted the two of them, he should not continue to tie their hands. Now that he is still tying their hands, he undoubtedly does not believe them. Seeing this, Yan Yan and Yan Zhi's hearts sank to the bottom.
, the little hope in my heart is also wavering and may be shattered at any time.
