Wang Can raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, and said: "You have killed thousands of Xiliang soldiers, which is a merit! But you have been greedy for merit and lost hundreds of soldiers. You are guilty! The merits and demerits are balanced, and the blame will not be held.
.However, you should not be allowed to serve as the vanguard. For the sake of your loyalty and bravery, I will allow you two to serve as vanguards and continue to serve as vanguards."
After Wang Can finished speaking, Guo Jia and Li Ru both smiled.
The old fox Jia Xu had an expressionless face, still neither sad nor happy.
Zhou Cang cupped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Lord, I will definitely live up to my Lord's high expectations."
Pei Yuanshao also bowed his head and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Pei Yuanshao will definitely be the first to rush into Ziwu Valley."
Not only were the two men not punished, but they continued to lead the troops, feeling grateful in their hearts.
The status of the two of them is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. It can be said that they are not capable. They have good martial arts skills and are extremely loyal and brave, so they can be used in many ways. They can be said to be capable, but their talent in leading troops is very average. Therefore, Pei Yuanshao and
Zhou Cang's status in the army can only be regarded as a middle-level general, which is far behind generals such as Zhao Yun and Gao Shun. They are very excited to be reused by Wang Can again.
"Cough! Cough!"
Wang Can coughed twice, and Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang quickly calmed down after hearing this.
Just listen to Wang Can say slowly: "Although you two have not been punished, you cannot be the same as before. This time the vanguard army will be led by Huang Zhong as the main general, and you two will be the deputy generals to assist Huang Zhong."
"The general will obey your orders!"
Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang agreed in unison and agreed.
The two of them were not unhappy at all regarding Huang Zhong taking over as the commander-in-chief, but were instead very happy.
Huang Zhong is both civil and military, brave and resourceful. The two people admired him for his trick to scare away Zhang Rong last night. Moreover, Huang Zhong's sword skills were superb, which the two could not match. In addition, Huang Zhong saved their lives.
The three reasons were combined, and the two of them were convinced that having such a general as the leader of the vanguard army was something they could only dream of.
Wang Can waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to stand up and join the queue.
After a pause, Wang Can looked at Wang Yue and asked, "Ziwu, how is the situation in Chang'an?"
Wang Yue came out, clasped his fists and said: "Reporting to my lord, because the Ziwu Valley is sealed, the people sent to Chang'an to inquire about the news cannot return from the Ziwu Valley. They can only go south from Xieguguan and Wuguan, and then take a detour back to Ziwu Valley.
It takes a lot of time to come and go, and it is difficult to get the latest news. However, news came back yesterday that Cao Cao was also blocked by the Xiliang army, and the army led by Xiliang Ma Teng drove straight in and headed straight for Chang'an."
"What?"
When Wang Can heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes showed a solemn look.
He took a deep breath, waved his hand and said: "Wang Yue, Guo Jia, Li Ru, and Jia Xu will stay. The others can go down and train the soldiers more quickly. Zilong, you allocate three thousand soldiers to Huang Zhong and let Huang Zhong lead the vanguard."
Enter Ziwu Valley to test the situation."
"promise!"
The generals left quickly, and Zhao Yun responded with clasped fists after receiving the order.
This march was mainly based on Zhao Yun's broken military camp, and tens of thousands of infantrymen marched with the army. Zhao Yun had the highest official position among the army's lieutenant generals, and the military power was controlled by Zhao Yun. Therefore, if Huang Zhong wanted to lead 3,000 soldiers to set off, Zhao Yun must agree to do so.
, Huang Zhongcai led his soldiers to Ziwu Valley.
When Zhao Yun went out, Huang Zhong, Pei Yuanshao, and Zhou Cang followed closely behind him.
There were only five people left in the big tent: Wang Can, Wang Yue, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Li Ru.
Wang Can's face was a little gloomy. He always thought that Cao Cao and he were the only ones who raised troops to serve the king. Jia Xu, Li Ru and others also thought so, but they ignored a very inconspicuous Ma Teng.
Ma Teng's ability is not very good, but Wang Can is very clear about Ma Chao.
Ma Chao is unruly and unruly, and is not a good person. Although Ma Chao is young, he has passed his crowning years. With the Ma brothers and Ma Teng's prestige among the Qiang people, he may lead a large army to conquer Chang'an. If
There are officials in the DPRK and China supporting Ma Teng, which makes it even more possible.
Once Ma Teng takes control of the government, it will cause more than just a little change.
Wang Can asked: "Ziwu, besides this, is there any other news?"
Wang Yue replied: "My lord, this news is probably relatively late. Because Ziwu Valley is sealed, it is difficult to know what news there is in Chang'an. We can only know the news after the people sent to Chang'an return."
After hearing this, Wang Can frowned slightly.
This method of messaging is too slow and needs to be reformed.
Wang Can thought about it, nodded and said: "Cao Cao and I were blocked by the Xiliang army. As a result, Ma Teng has a chance. You can share your opinions."
Guo Jia said: "At present, we still don't know what Ma Teng's character is? If Ma Teng is the same as Dong Zhuo, there will be no problem. Even if Ma Teng controls the government, the impact will not be big. On the contrary, it will make the court more chaotic and the situation worse.
It's out of control. If Ma Teng is like Wang Yun, loyal to the emperor, and he has military power, it will be a big disaster for the lord, not a blessing. If the lord wants to achieve great things, Ma Teng must be eliminated."
After hearing this, Wang Can said without thinking, "Ma Teng is a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan. He has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty. He is definitely loyal to the emperor."
Historically, during the periods of Li Jue and Guo Si, Ma Teng once raised troops to attack Chang'an in order to rescue the emperor; after Cao Cao moved the capital to Xuchang, the Clothes and Belt Edict occurred, and Ma Teng once again raised troops to attack Cao Cao in order to rescue the emperor.
, but was eventually killed by Cao Cao. Such a person must be loyal to the emperor.
Li Ru asked: "My lord, if Ma Teng is really loyal to the emperor, things will indeed be difficult to handle."
None of the three asked Wang Can why he knew Ma Teng was loyal to the emperor, and just assumed that this was the worst plan.
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "No matter which prince comes to take control of Chang'an, it will not be a good thing for us. Do you have any clever plans?"
Guo Jia clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the top priority is to capture Ziwu Valley as soon as possible. Only after arriving at Chang'an can we know the situation. If Ma Teng or Cao Cao takes control of Chang'an, my lord will attack it with all his strength, capture Chang'an, and then take over."
Chang'an controls the government. Anyway, after the lord takes over the court, he will definitely be criticized by the people in the world. He doesn't care about this little reputation. As long as he can coerce the emperor and order the princes, the lord's goal will be achieved."
Li Ru nodded and said: "The words of filial piety are justified. My Lord, just attack Chang'an."
Wang Can thought about Cao Cao's move of the capital and said, "What if Cao Cao takes the emperor back to Yanzhou and moves the capital to Yanzhou?"
This sentence is the most critical point.
If Wang Can captures Chang'an, he will definitely move the capital and return to Chengdu. He will not return to Chang'an until he captures Guanzhong, and the same will certainly be true for Cao Cao. Without capturing Guanzhong, Cao Cao would not be able to keep the emperor in Chang'an.
When Jia Xu heard Wang Can's words, a coldness flashed in her eyes, and she said: "My lord, if this is the case, we cannot let the little emperor stay in the world. Since the little emperor is useless to the lord, just get rid of him, so as not to harm the lord."
At that time, there is no master in the world and all the heroes have risen together. That is the time for the lord’s troops to go out from Yizhou and sweep away the world!”
This guy is so courageous that he doesn't care about anything except his own life.
After Wang Can heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Killing the little emperor is so courageous! Wang Can took a deep breath and said: "This is just for us to deduce the situation. The matter has not reached this point. Let's attack Ziwu Valley first."
Wang Can changed the topic and no one mentioned anything about Chang'an anymore.
The army finished repairing and continued to march towards Ziwu Valley.
