Cao Cao and Xun Yu stepped out of the carriage one after another and came together to pay homage to Xun Shuang, which surprised Wang Can.
After thinking about it, Wang Can felt relieved.
When Cao Cao and Xun Yu came to Yingchuan, didn't he also come to Yingchuan with Xun You to pay homage to Xun Shuang? It can only be said that the two men did the same thing and had the same deep meaning.
Cao Cao and Xun Yu walked hand in hand, and when they saw Wang Can and his party, they suddenly looked shocked.
Cao Cao walked slowly and steadily, and his eyes paused for a moment on Wang Can. Immediately, his eyes quickly swept over Pei Yuanshao, and finally stopped on Gan Ning, staying for a moment. At this time, another carriage stopped, and Xiahou Dun opened the door
He opened the carriage door curtain and jumped out of the carriage. He looked up and saw Gan Ning. He immediately took two steps and rushed to Cao Cao's side to protect Cao Cao's safety.
Wang Can saw Cao Cao slowly walking towards him. He was shocked at first, then quickly reacted and cupped his hands and said: "Brother Meng De, we have been apart in Luoyang for several months. How is Brother Meng De?"
Cao Cao cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile: "First of all, we haven't seen each other for several months, I think we are brothers!"
The two hugged each other, both smiling.
However, Wang Can was a little uncomfortable with Cao Cao's enthusiasm.
Xun Yu walked up and saw Wang Can snorted, but did not speak to Wang Can. He and Cao Cao walked towards Xun Shuang's grave together. Cao Cao respectfully offered a stick of incense to Xun Shuang and then stepped back.
Xun Yu stepped forward, looked at the tombstone, and was in a daze. When Xun Shuang died, Xun Yu served under Yuan Shao, and was unable to attend Xun Shuang's funeral. This was a big regret in Xun Yu's heart.
Xun Yu took a deep breath, lifted up his robe, knelt in front of Xun Shuang's grave, and kowtowed three times.
Then, Xun Yu raised his head and nodded towards Xun You.
The two looked at each other, but did not speak. They just knelt silently in front of the grave and burned money for Xun Shuang.
In the distance, Cao Cao stood next to Wang Can, talking quietly to Wang Can. Even so, Cao Cao's eyes kept drifting, and he glanced at Gan Ning from time to time.
Cao Cao was confused about Gan Ning's identity, but he held back his doubts and did not ask questions. However, Cao Cao was quite envious of Wang Can. In just a few months, Wang Can recruited another tiger and wolf general, but under his command
But there were still only Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan and others, and no fresh blood was injected into the army.
In Cao Cao's heart, he was very envious of Wang Can's luck.
The two whispered for a while, then fell silent and stood quietly in the distance, watching Xun You and Xun Yu.
A quarter of an hour later, Xun Yu and Xun You got up and returned.
The tears on the faces of Xun You and Xun Yu disappeared, replaced by calmness. However, their eyes were slightly red, with a touch of sadness, obviously they shed tears. The carriage returned the same way and entered Yingchuan.
They stopped in front of Yuelai Restaurant, where Xun Yu and Cao Cao stayed. The group entered the restaurant and returned to their respective residences.
Wang Can sat in the room, squinting his eyes slightly, thinking about Cao Cao's affairs.
Cao Cao now serves as the governor of Dongjun, and he is also the governor of a county. His status is not low, and he also has the power of his direct lineage.
More importantly, Cao Cao was assisted by Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai earlier than in history. This was also the butterfly effect caused by Wang Can traveling through time and poaching Xun You, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia. Although Cao Cao lost
He defeated the three major plotters, but also received corresponding compensation, and obtained the early surrender of Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai. For the current Cao Cao, the benefits are very great.
"Boom! Boom!"
Outside the house, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Wang Can didn't even raise his head and shouted: "The door is not bolted, come in!"
With a creak, Pei Yuanshao pushed open the door, walked in quickly, and respectfully said: "My Lord, Cao Cao sent someone to invite you to the private room on the second floor near the window."
Wang Can opened his eyes and asked, "Did you say anything important?"
Pei Yuanshao shook his head and said: "I didn't tell you, I just informed you to go there."
Wang Can stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the desk and said, "Okay, I'll go right away. I want to see what Cao Mengde has to do with me." After saying that, Wang Can stood up and straightened out the wrinkles on his body.
He took off his robe and walked outside the house. He and Cao Cao had been on the battlefield together and had killed people together. They were considered comrades in the trenches, but they also understood their respective positions. Even if they were on good terms now, they would definitely have to fight each other when they met on the battlefield in the future.
Swordsmen meet.
Wang Can strode out and turned around to see Pei Yuanshao following him. He stopped immediately, turned around and said, "Old Pei, you stay in your room, there is no need to follow."
Pei Yuanshao looked anxious and said hurriedly: "Lord, I didn't go, how about your safety...?"
Wang Can grinned and said with a smile: "How could Cao Mengde, a hero in the world, do such a despicable thing? Don't worry."
Pei Yuanshao wanted to speak, but Wang Can stopped him with his eyes.
Wang Can waved his hand and signaled Pei Yuanshao to return to the house, then turned around and walked to the private room near the window on the second floor without looking back. Cao Cao chose a very good location, close to the window, and he didn't have to stick his head out when sitting next to the window.
You can see the white scenery outside the window. Although the snow-white scenery is monotonous, it has a unique flavor when you see it.
"Brother Meng De!"
Wang Can cupped his hands, walked forward, lifted up his robe, and sat down.
Cao Cao was sitting next to the window with a faint smile on his face. He reached for a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of warm wine, poured it for Wang Can, and said: "It's freezing cold. It's very cold. Why?"
Let’s drink a cup of hot wine first to warm up your body.”
"Thank you, Brother Mengde!"
Wang Can didn't refuse, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Sitting by the window, although you can enjoy the scenery outside the window near the water, you feel the cold wind blowing, which makes you feel a bit chilly. Fortunately, the wine is warmed, and after a glass of hot wine, you feel a warm feeling in your stomach.
, very comfortable. Wang Can slowly put down the wine glass and said: "Brother Meng De, I heard that you captured Dongjun and served as the prefect of Dongjun. I was happy for a while. I am very happy to congratulate you. Come and have a drink for this."
Cao Cao also said: "To capture Yizhou first will make Cao Cao envious and jealous. Come and have a drink!"
Wang Can pursed his lips and smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The two of them were talking, going back and forth, and the bottom of the jar of wine was gone in the blink of an eye. Cao Cao asked the waiter to bring another jar of wine and warm it in hot water. The two continued to drink and chat, but they felt very comfortable.
I don't know when, it started to rain lightly outside the window. The rain was hazy, and a trace of rain mist rose. Coupled with the white snow outside the window, it added a hint of chill.
After a while, dark clouds covered the sky and it became dark.
The rain also gradually became heavier.
The elegant room where Wang Can and Cao Cao were was also dimmed due to the dim light. Cao Cao put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at the rolling dark clouds outside the window, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to a place outside the sky, and asked:
"First of all, look in this direction and see what the gathered dark clouds look like?"
Wang Can looked around and saw a group of dark clouds, rolling continuously and condensing into a dragon shape.
Seeing this, Wang Can's heart moved.
In the novel, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were drinking wine and discussing heroes. It was such a scene. Now that Cao Cao saw this scene, he was preparing to discuss the heroes of the world with him. However, Cao Cao is still just a county guard, and his official position is not high, far from being a prime minister.
Wang Can saw a rolling dragon-shaped dark cloud emerging from the sky. He pondered for a while and then slowly said: "The dark clouds gathered here are similar to a dragon."
Cao Cao nodded and asked, "Can I know the dragon's changes in advance?"
Wang Can secretly sighed: It is indeed so.
He was familiar with the novel and knew the content of the conversation between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, but he shook his head and said, "I don't know the details. Please teach me, Brother Meng De."
Cao Cao looked solemn and said: "The dragon can be big or small, it can rise or disappear; if it is big, it can stir up clouds and spit out mist; if it is small, it can hide its form; if it rises, it can soar in the universe, and if it is hidden, it can lurk in the waves. Now the dragon
The shapes gather together and change at any time, just like a man who has his ambition and travels across the world. The dragon is an object, which can be compared to the heroes of the world. Starting from the Yellow Turban in Runan, he worked hard and took charge of a state in just one year, which is admirable.
No wonder, he can be said to be a hero of the world."
Wang Can laughed and said: "Brother Meng De, you set up a five-color stick in Luoyang to assassinate Dong Zhuo. After leaving Luoyang, you sent out widespread propaganda and led troops to attack Dong... One after another, one after another, there is nothing that does not make people angry.
Thumbs up, please give me a thumbs up. Now that Brother Meng De is in charge of Dongjun, he can express his ambitions like a fish in water, and he can be called a hero at that time."
"Haha... each other, each other!"
The two looked at each other and laughed heartily.
Neither Wang Can nor Cao Cao refused the compliments from both sides and accepted them with smiles.
After laughing, Cao Cao sighed, shook his head and said: "For the first time, you are now in charge of Yizhou, and there is no one to restrain you. It can be said that you can get the wind and the rain, and the scenery is endless. Looking back at Cao Cao's situation, he depends on others and depends on them.
His face, every step he takes is like walking on thin ice, cautious, pity, pity!"
Wang Can curled his lips inwardly after listening to Cao Cao's words.
This guy was extremely happy to have won Dongjun, but he put on this expression, which was so fake. When he just spoke, Cao Cao was still accepting his praise with his tail raised, but in the next moment, he played the tragedy card, which is quite hypocritical.
Wang Can sneered in his heart and did not continue Cao Cao's topic. Instead, he asked: "Brother Meng De, the fourth and third prince of Yuan Shao, there are many disciples of the Yuan family. Many disciples of the Yuan family have defected to Yuan Shao, which greatly increased Yuan Shao's strength. Now
He even occupied Jizhou and had a large number of elite soldiers. Can he be called a hero?"
Cao Cao didn't even think about it and said immediately: "Yuan Shao is a hero in this world, he is admirable!"
Wang Can sneered twice in his heart, and immediately asked: "Mengde, I once heard that Mengde scolded Yuan Shao in Luoyang, saying that Yuan Shao was: a son of a prince who is not good at planning. Is this possible?"
When Cao Cao heard this, he had an embarrassed look on his face.
Immediately, Cao Cao recovered quickly. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Cao Cao despised Yuan Shao because Yuan Shao was indecisive and soft-hearted, making it difficult for him to achieve great things.
Cao Cao smiled awkwardly and said, "For the first time, you are really..."
After a pause, Cao Cao didn't know what to say, so he said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shaose is fierce and cowardly, and he is always scheming. He cherishes his life when he does great things, and forgets his life when he sees small gains. If you are not a hero, it is difficult to achieve great things."
Wang Can did not ask questions one by one like Liu Bei in the novel.
He put his elbows on the desk, leaned forward, and asked: "Mengde, who in the world can be heroes?"
Cao Cao also leaned forward slightly, leaned against the desk, and said in a low voice: "The only hero in the world is Cao Er!" Although his voice was low, his tone revealed infinite pride and domineering.
Wang Can heard the words, nodded and said: "Mengde, you and I both have great ambitions. Now that I have captured Yizhou and you have occupied Dongjun, we both have a stage to display our talents. Let's compete to see who can defeat Dong Zhuo first.
Welcome back the emperor, support the imperial court, and organize the imperial court." Regarding Cao Cao, Wang Can felt that this person was quite good. At least Wang Can felt that Cao Cao was not like Liu Bei and was more real. Even though Cao Cao was suspicious, a little hypocritical, and liked to wear pigtails, Cao Cao did not
Annoy people.
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes shone a little, and he raised his glass and said: "Be the first, I will definitely not lose to you."
Wang Can also raised his glass and said: "Who will win and who will lose is yet to be determined."
In front of Cao Cao, Wang Can would definitely not express his inner thoughts, otherwise he would definitely fall out with Cao Cao. There is no way that Cao Cao would listen to his words and draw his sword directly.
At this time, Cao Cao still wanted to help the court and straighten the court.
Wang Can naturally said the same thing when talking to Cao Cao.
The two exchanged cups and drank happily. In the end, Cao Cao was drunk and was carried back to the room by Wang Can. Wang Can also staggered and returned to the room with a flushed face.
