In the school grounds, Wang Can stood on a temporary high platform with his hands behind his hands, looking down at the yellow scarf soldiers standing below, feeling a surge of pride in his chest. Today, he finally has a formal official position in this era.
Yesterday, when Wang Can returned to Runan City, the Yellow Turbans cheered and cheered, and wine was served to celebrate.
All the soldiers knew that Wang Can went to Luoyang to seek an official position. Now that Wang Can has returned with a smile, he has naturally submitted to the imperial court and become an official of the imperial court. Since then, the Yellow Turbans have ceased to be Yellow Turbans, and Wang Can has also achieved
The promise to the Yellow Turban soldiers is to submit to the imperial court with the Yellow Turban and take off the hat.
Wang Can coughed twice and glanced across the school grounds.
In an instant, the school grounds, which were originally noisy, became extremely quiet.
"We are summoned today to announce something."
Wang Can's voice was neither slow nor slow, rich and resonant. Although the pitch was not high, the voice kept echoing in the school grounds. All the soldiers could hear Wang Can's words: "The Runan Yellow Turban has surrendered to the imperial court. Soon after,
The imperial court will dispatch the Xiliang cavalry under Grand Master Dong to garrison Runan City, and will also dispatch a new Runan governor to take charge of Runan. From today on, you will be soldiers of the imperial court. The yellow turban thieves are no longer yellow turban thieves, but the imperial court.
Officers and soldiers are eating royal food."
"The general is mighty!"
When Wang Can finished speaking, a loud roar suddenly came from the military formation, causing the soldiers in the military formation to look at each other in shock.
Immediately, loud roars came from the military formation.
"The general is mighty!"
"The general is mighty!"
…………
In the school grounds, the yellow scarf soldiers scratched their necks, blushed, and roared.
Amidst the roar, many soldiers' eyes were red, and crystal tears flowed down, wetting the clothes under their chins. You say that men don't shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet. Most of the yellow scarf soldiers are refugees.
They are composed of bandits and ordinary people. These people originally guarded their own one-third of an acre of land, facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky in order to survive for generations.
However, the generation is in chaos and it is impossible to survive.
At this time, the people will struggle to resist, but resistance is just a helpless act, because they can no longer live, and the only way out is to resist.
However, resisting the imperial court was not what the people had in mind.
Keeping one's duty has already penetrated deep into the bone marrow of the people. It is not so easy to remove it.
Once the court calls for peace, the people will never give up. For example, in "Water Margin", Song Jiang, the "timely rain", was sent to Jiangzhou for killing someone, but was later sentenced to death for writing an anti-poetry in Xunyang Tower.
, was finally forced to go to Liangshan helplessly, and became a bandit. However, just when Liangshan was defeated by Tong Guan twice and Gao Qiu three times, Liangshan was majestic and his career reached its peak, he accepted the imperial court's recruitment.
Song Jiang had to accept recruitment?
Of course not, but there is a thought of loyalty to the emperor and a thought of keeping one's duty deep in his heart.
Song Jiang was like this, and so were the Yellow Turban soldiers.
With a stable environment and becoming a soldier of the imperial court, he would be worthy of his ancestors and descendants, so he would naturally be extremely happy.
Wang Can was extremely excited to see all the soldiers, and he was filled with emotion.
He raised his hands and pressed down. Suddenly, the thunderous roar disappeared. The Yellow Turban soldier's eyes fell on Wang Can, waiting for Wang Can to speak.
"Everyone has changed from a yellow turban soldier to an officer and soldier of the imperial court. I have tried my best."
Wang Can's words immediately stunned the Yellow Turban soldier. What did this mean? Why did it feel so wrong?
Liu Cheng and Dong Fang looked at each other, then looked at Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao who were standing not far away, and saw that both of them had solemn expressions and frowned, and an unpleasant feeling arose in their hearts.
Because of Pei Yuanshao's relationship, Zhou Cang naturally knew the outcome of Wang Can's trip.
He probably guessed what Wang Can was going to say, so he didn't show any panic. But when the time came to make a choice, he didn't know how many people would choose to follow Wang Can. This was what Zhou Cang cared about. Liu Chenghe
Dong Fang didn't get the news and didn't know what Wang Can's official position was. Hearing Wang Can's words, he felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was going on.
Just when the two of them were in a daze, Wang Can's voice came over again: "I have been named the 'Hanzhong Prefect' by the imperial court, and I am about to go to Hanzhong to take up my post. Therefore, let all the brothers gather together to consider this matter. Among you,
Those who are willing to follow me to Shu can follow me to Hanzhong; those who are unwilling to go, stay in Runan City and wait for the arrival of Grand Master Dong's army; those who want to leave the army can also leave the army and make a living on their own."
At this time, Liu Cheng and Dong Fang finally understood.
Wang Can was not a general in Runan, but a prefect of Hanzhong.
The two of them looked at each other with solemn expressions in their eyes. They were already facing a dilemma.
Wang Can glanced at the soldiers in the school grounds, and a look of solemnity rose on his cheeks. He sighed in his heart and shouted: "Those who want to leave the army, I will provide them with travel expenses and settlement allowance; those who want to stay in Runan as a soldier, you can
Continue to stay in Runan City and wait for the arrival of Taishi Dong's army; those who want to join me in Shu can follow me to Hanzhong."
"That's the way it is."
"I will give everyone a quarter of an hour to consider. After a quarter of an hour, I hope everyone will make their own choice."
In the school grounds, soldiers were whispering to each other, discussing how to make a decision.
Time passed slowly, and a quarter of an hour passed in an instant.
Wang Can took a deep breath, opened his eyes wide, and shouted loudly: "The quarter of an hour has arrived. I think everyone has thought about it clearly. Listen clearly, stay in Runan and continue to serve as a soldier; those who choose to leave the army
Stand on the right side of the military formation; those who choose to join me in Shu will stand on the left side of the military formation."
In the military formation, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao naturally firmly supported Wang Can. Without thinking, they walked to the left side of the military formation.
But Liu Cheng and Dong Fang were different. They were people with families and had constraints in their hearts.
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Cheng finally did not move his position and chose to stay. Dong Fang, on the other hand, chose to go to the right side of the military formation, left your army and became an ordinary citizen. Dong Fang followed Liu Pi to resist the imperial court, and was very hostile to the Han court.
He was extremely disappointed and naturally did not want to submit to the imperial court, so he chose to leave.
In half an hour, more than 3,000 soldiers in the school field had made their decisions.
More than 1,800 people headed by Liu Cheng stayed in Runan and continued to serve as soldiers; while more than 600 people headed by Dong Fang chose to leave Runan and start a new life; headed by Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang
More than 600 people chose to follow Wang Can to Shu and took office in Hanzhong.
Wang Can glanced at Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
There are more than 600 people, which may be a little small, but this is definitely a direct army loyal to Wang Can.
A decision greatly reduced Wang Can's troops. However, the cohesion of the army was unprecedented. These soldiers who followed Wang Can into Shu were loyal to Wang Can and would not be half-hearted soldiers.
As for Liu Cheng, Dong Fang, and Wang Can, they have no intention of making things difficult. Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced.
Those who leave are not necessarily good, and those who stay are not necessarily bad.
However, Wang Can believes that the Hanzhong soldiers in the future will not be weak.
