Wang Can raised his head and saw the person coming. With a warm smile on his face, he asked: "Captain Dong, General, what can I do?"
The soldier who came in was Dong Fang, Liu Pi's personal soldier, who had been to Wang Can several times.
Dong Fang said respectfully: "General, do you have something important to discuss with your Excellency?"
"Well, let's go to the county governor's house." Wang Can immediately stood up after hearing the words. At the same time, he reached into his pocket and took out a bunch of five-baht coins, handed it to Dong Fang's hand, and said, "It's just a small thing. Captain Dong will take it and buy it with the brothers."
Drink!"
This is a habit that Wang Can has developed. Anyone sent by Liu Pi or Gongdu will be rewarded with a small amount of money.
Dong Fang did not refuse, took the five baht from Wang Can with a smile, weighed it, and put it in his pocket.
Every time Dong Fang came to Wang Can, he would get money for drinking. This is why Dong Fang and the soldiers who followed Liu Pi were willing to come to Wang Can to report the news. After receiving the money, Dong Fang became less reserved and lowered his voice.
He said: "Sir, the news from the brothers in the governor's mansion seems that there are more officers and soldiers coming towards Runan City."
Wang Can was shocked, but with a smile on his face, he said, "Thank you so much, Lieutenant Dong!"
Wang Can's guess was indeed correct. The disappearing officers and soldiers were not afraid of Liu Pi and Gong Du, but were preparing to launch a more ferocious offensive. After the officers and soldiers were defeated last time, this attack is definitely not comparable to the last one. Thinking about it
Here, Wang Can couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart, with a hint of worry.
Seeing that Wang Can was silent, Dong Fang guessed a little bit of Wang Can's thoughts.
Not only Wang Can, but also Liu Pi and Gong were worried, let alone Wang Can!
Today's world is no longer about raising one's arms and shouting, and the leaders of the thirty-six squares of the world respond with great momentum. The Yellow Turbans now are just a group of Yellow Turban thieves that everyone shouts to beat. No matter which princes they are, they all want to defeat the Yellow Turbans
Establish meritorious deeds, or conquer the Yellow Turbans and expand your own power.
The two of them were silent all the way and went straight to the county governor's house.
In the governor's house, Gong Du and Liu Pi looked solemn and worried, and sighed from time to time.
When Dong Fang and Wang Can arrived at the governor's house, Dong Fang left. Wang Can stood outside the hall, straightened his clothes, and then entered the living room. Seeing Liu Pi sitting at the head of the hall, Gong Du looked depressed.
Wang Can's heart became even heavier. It seemed that the situation was very bad. He saluted the two of them and said, "Wang Can pays homage to the two generals!"
Liu Pi raised his eyelids but said nothing.
Gong Du lamented, waved his hands and said, "Just find a seat and sit by yourself!"
"No!" Wang Can responded, turned around and glanced at everyone in the hall. Everyone looked worried, shaking their heads and sighing, as if the end of the world was coming. It seems that Liu Pi and Gong had already told the officers and soldiers that a large-scale attack was about to take place.
When he received the news of the siege, his eyes paused on Liu Li for a moment, and then moved away. Liu Li seemed to know that Wang Can glanced at him, raised his head, stared at Wang Can, and sneered, with a look of resentment in his eyes.
color.
Wang Can sneered in his heart, but ignored Liu Li, he was just a clown.
He walked to the left corner of the hall, lifted up his robe and sat down. At this time, centurions and captains entered the living room one by one. These captains and centurions all showed surprised expressions, obviously they were still there.
I don't know what happened. After everyone arrived, Liu Picai said: "The scouts sent news that the officers and soldiers came in large numbers."
"Officers and soldiers?" A centurion in the living room suddenly stood up and said: "General, isn't it just the officers and soldiers who are attacking? It's not just once or twice. There is no need to hesitate, just send troops directly."
This person obviously didn't know the exact information and just thought it was ordinary officers and soldiers encircling and suppressing the Yellow Turbans.
Liu Pi shook his head and said: "It's different this time. The person leading the army is Bao Hong, one of the eight captains of Xiyuan."
"Bao Hong?" Wang Can was confused for a moment. Who is this Bao Hong? Does the Eighth Lieutenant of Xiyuan have such a figure? But he recovered in an instant. In such a magnificent era as the Three Kingdoms, there were great talents.
, there are not a few people who have great talents but are unknown.
In any era, there are always people who are unknown but possess great abilities.
"General, who is this Bao Hong?" Wang Can stood up and asked respectfully.
Liu Pi said: "Bao Hong is not a big figure. During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he served as a garrison captain. Later, in order to suppress the Yellow Turbans, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty established the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan, and Bao Hong
He is one of the eight captains of Xiyuan. Although Bao Hong is an eighth captain, he is not worthy of his name and is really a mediocre person. He was beaten by the Yellow Turbans and was beaten back by the Yellow Turbans, so he did not dare to fight."
Wang Can frowned slightly. Since Bao Hong was a mediocre person, what else did he have to worry about?
Liu Pi seemed to have seen through Wang Can's thoughts, hehe said: "Of course Bao Hong is not worth my worry, but this time Bao Hong and Yuan Shu have joined forces, and the two alliances are preparing to attack Runan together. This is my best choice."
Things to worry about. Especially Yuan Shu actually sent his general Ji Ling to attack Runan. This man is brave and fierce, and the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand is extremely powerful. Even if Gong Heizi and I join forces to fight against Ji Ling, we will not be his opponent."
Wang Can's heart sank, but he asked calmly: "General, I wonder where Yuan Shu and Bao Hong's army are?"
Liu Pidao: "Well, counting the time, they should have arrived at Gepo, which is more than a hundred miles southeast of Runan City."
"Arrived in Gepo?" Wang Can thought for a moment, with a firm look in his eyes, and said loudly: "General, I humbly ask for a fight."
"You want to ask for a battle?" Liu Pi looked surprised, his whole body trembled, and he stood up suddenly and asked, "Are you sure you want to lead troops to Gepo?"
Gong Du also stood up, with a look of astonishment on his face: "Wang Can, are you sure you want to lead troops to fight?"
"Yes, I am humble enough to invite soldiers to fight!"
Wang Can looked firm and said decisively. Ever since Dong Fang told Wang Can that officers and soldiers were coming, Wang Can had already begun to think about inviting troops to fight. He wanted to quickly gain a foothold in the Yellow Turbans and start from a small soldier.
When you become a captain or a general, and then control your own destiny, you must take the initiative to fight and establish military exploits. Opportunities are not given by others, but you create opportunities yourself and seize them.
"Okay, okay, okay. Centurion Wang is a real hero. I, Old Liu, admire him."
Just when everyone was dumbfounded and shocked that Wang Can took the initiative to fight, Liu Li stood up and praised loudly. There was a look of joy on his face, his eyes turned straight, and he looked at Wang Can like he was looking at a dead person.
Generally. In fact, all the generals in the hall were not optimistic about Wang Can, including Gong Du and Liu Pi.
However, both Liu Pi and Gong admired Wang Can's courage, and they liked Wang Can even more in their hearts.
Liu Pi's eyes fell on Liu Li, he chuckled, and said calmly: "Liu Li, you admire Wang Can so much, do you also plan to lead troops to fight and take the initiative to attack Bao Hong and Ji Ling?"
Liu Li looked stunned for a moment, then waved his hands quickly and said: "No, no, the last general does not have the courage of Centurion Wang."
Liu Pi's face darkened and he scolded in a cold voice: "Since you don't dare to fight, don't talk so much nonsense. Just retreat. Don't open your mouth if I don't ask you to speak. If you don't speak, others won't treat you as a mute."
Liu Li smiled sheepishly, returned to his seat, and glanced at Wang Can fiercely, wishing that Wang Can would die immediately. His heart was filled with hatred for Wang Can, because of Wang Can, he was scolded by Liu Pi and Gong Du,
He was looked down upon by the generals in the military camp.
Liu Pi turned to Wang Can and said: "If you want to go to war, I will not stop you, because there may be a chance of survival if you take the initiative to fight. I will provide you with sufficient supplies of food, grass, weapons, and horses, so that you have no worries. Well, listen.
It is said that you do not have a hundred soldiers under your command. So, I will make an exception and let you select elite soldiers from other centurions to add to your soldiers. What do you think? If you have other requirements, please also include them.
If you bring it up, as long as it is within my ability, I will agree to it."
Wang Can said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, General. The humble post only requires enough food and weapons, and there is no need to select soldiers. The soldiers under the humble post have been running in for a while and have a certain tacit understanding. If we re-select soldiers to join the team, it will be better."
It takes a certain amount of time to get used to it, but it’s not beautiful.”
Liu Pi smiled and said: "It's up to you. Okay, go and prepare."
As he spoke, there was a trace of frustration in Liu Pi's words. Wang Can shook his head in his heart. He was timid before fighting, and would be defeated without fighting. With a serious look on his face, he cupped his hands towards Liu Pi and said: "Thank you, general, and I will resign from my position!"
