After staying in Runan City for two days, Wang Can prepared to lead more than 600 soldiers under his command to set off for Hanzhong.
During this period, Wang Can talked with Liu Cheng who was stationed in Runan City for a long time. The conversation was naturally about Dong Zhuo's sending troops to station in Runan. Liu Cheng asked Wang Can about the candidate for the governor of Runan, and Wang Can could only shake his head.
He shook his head, because Wang Can didn't know who the prefect of Runan would be?
However, Wang Can also had a guess in his mind, could it be Liu Cheng?
After all, Dong Zhuo's army first arrived in Runan and needed a puppet to balance the situation in Runan.
Wang Can didn't think too much about this matter. He was concerned about the situation after entering Hanzhong. Su Gu had been the prefect of Hanzhong for several years. Wang Can was appointed as the prefect of Hanzhong, which undoubtedly pulled out one of the tiger's teeth and usurped Su Gu's territory.
The situation in Hanzhong is not optimistic either.
Runan City, West Gate.
More than 600 soldiers under Wang Can stood in formation, ready to go.
Under the city gate, four carriages slowly drove out of the city gate.
The first carriage was naturally that of Wang Can and Cai Yan, the second carriage was that of Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu, the third carriage was that of Lu Meng and Lu Meng's mother, Wang Yue and
The carriage of the warrior under the sect was at the end. After the four carriages drove out of the city gate, Liu Cheng galloped out of the city gate on his horse.
The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and Liu Chengzong rode up to Wang Can's carriage and said respectfully: "General, you are going to Hanzhong. The journey is long, and there is nothing to say about your humble position. I wish you a bright future and domination in Hanzhong."
One side.”
Wang Can got out of the carriage and stood on the shaft.
He waved his hand and said: "Liu Cheng, if you lead your troops to stay in Runan, I will also give you a message: I hope you can work hard, work hard, and work harder, and become a powerful figure as soon as possible. Okay, it's almost time.
, I still have to hurry, you go back, guard Runan, and wait for Dong Zhuo's army."
After finishing speaking, Wang Can waved his hand and got back into the carriage.
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao looked at each other and shouted, and immediately the soldiers of the army began to run quickly.
The sound of horse hooves and rapid running merged together, and groups of soldiers gradually moved away.
"The general is mighty!"
"The general is mighty!"
…………
I don't know when, loud roars came from Runan City, and the roars like thunder spread like ripples into the distance.
Wang Can opened the car window curtains and ducked his head out. He looked back at Runan City, where only the outline could be seen clearly, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
Runan City has become a thing of the past.
Ahead is Hanzhong County.
########
Shangyong County is located on the north bank of the Zhu River, 40 miles southwest of present-day Zhushan County, Hubei Province.
The appearance of Shangyong place name was first seen in "Warring States Policy" and later in "Historical Records". Its geographical location has a characteristic: it is surrounded by mountains on both sides, with Qinling Mountains and Micang Mountain to the west, Daba Mountain to the south, and Daba Mountain to the east and north.
It is relatively flat. Especially Shangyong is located at the upstream end of Xiangyang. If you go down the river, it will be a great threat to Xiangyang, so the strategic location is more important.
Wang Can's army stopped when they reached Shangyong.
It's not that Wang Can didn't march, but Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, actually stayed in Shangyong to welcome Wang Can.
Su Gu is young, about forty years old, and has three short strands of beard under his chin.
I don’t know if it’s because Su Gu has lived in Hanzhong all year round and received less sunlight. Su Gu’s face is extremely white, as smooth and delicate as a woman’s face. His nose is high and strong, his lips are thin and slightly feminine, and his whole face is
The temperament exudes a feminine atmosphere.
Seeing Wang Can get off the carriage, Su Gu hurriedly led a group of officials from Hanzhong to greet Wang Can.
Before Wang Can could say anything, Su Gu said: "Sir, it's a long journey, thank you for your hard work."
Wang Can bowed his hands to the people standing beside him and said with a smile: "Master Laosu and all of you have been waiting for a long time. Please forgive me and bear with me."
Wang Can was confused and didn't understand why Su Gu greeted him in Shangyong in advance?
Although he didn't understand in his heart, Wang Can had a smile on his face and said: "Wang Can serves as the governor of Hanzhong for the first time and has no experience. Please forgive me if there are any mistakes. However, Mr. Su is a native of Hanzhong, so he must be
Mr. Su is very experienced, and with Mr. Su on his side, I believe he will be able to handle things in Hanzhong well."
When Su Gu heard this, her feminine cheeks twitched twice unconsciously.
He narrowed his eyes, and the cold light flashed in his dark eyes.
Dong Zhuo issued an edict and dismissed Su Gu's Hanzhong prefect, and Wang Can took over as Hanzhong prefect. Su Gu instantly fell from the most powerful person in Hanzhong to an ordinary citizen. Su Gu was naturally dissatisfied with this situation.
, but Su Gu did not dare to openly oppose Dong Zhuo. After all, Dong Zhuo's cavalry could enter Hanzhong from Xiegu Pass and attack Hanzhong.
Although Su Gu was powerful, he was still very afraid of Dong Zhuo. After listening to Wang Can's words, Su Gu said: "My lord, I am humbled to hold a banquet in Shangyong County to receive the wind and wash away the dust for you. Please invite me."
Su Gu waved his hand and forcefully invited Wang Can to the banquet without giving Wang Can a chance to refuse.
Wang Can smiled, but did not give up, and said: "Master Su, please."
Regardless of whether Su Gu hosted the Hongmen Banquet or not, Wang Can had to go to the banquet. Because Su Gu led the main officials of Hanzhong to greet Wang Can in Shangyong County, this was not only an invitation from Su Gu alone, but also an invitation from all officials in Hanzhong.
, this is already an upright conspiracy, Wang Can cannot refuse, and he does not dare to refuse.
If Wang Can had lost his courage when he met the main officials of Hanzhong for the first time and did not even dare to enter Shangyong City, I am afraid that the news about Wang Can's timidity would have spread throughout Hanzhong County before Wang Can arrived in Hanzhong.
Even if Wang Can was aware of Su Gu's thoughts, he could only bite the bullet and go to the county magistrate's office for the banquet.
Su Gu and his party, as well as Wang Can and his party, slowly headed towards the county magistrate's office.
After Lu Meng's mother and son, Cai Yan, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and Xun You entered the county seat of Shangyong County, they followed Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao. Wang Yue and the three warriors under Wang Yue followed.
Be by Wang Can's side and protect Wang Can's safety.
Shangyong County, County Magistrate’s Office.
The guests were seated separately, with Wang Can sitting first on the left and Su Gu sitting first on the right.
Su Gu picked up the wine bottle, cupped his hands towards Wang Can and said: "Master Wang is young and promising. He is already the governor of Hanzhong at such a young age. His future is boundless. Su Gu here represents all the officials in Hanzhong and wishes to express his respect to Master Wang."
With a glass of wine, I wish Mr. Wang a bright future and may he serve as an official and benefit the whole country."
After finishing speaking, Su Gu picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
Wang Can's expression was as usual, he also picked up the wine bottle and drank all the wine in the cup, and then said: "Master Su praised me, Wang Can deserves it, but when Master Su served as the governor of Hanzhong County, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
That is the true purpose of serving as an official and benefiting one party. Wang Can still needs to ask Mr. Su for advice in many aspects. When the time comes, I hope Mr. Su will give you your advice."
Both of them have smiles on their faces. If you compliment me, I will compliment you.
A banquet ended with the conversation between Wang Can and Su Gu.
When Wang Can walked out of the county magistrate's office, Wang Can was blown by the cold wind, and his chaotic head suddenly came to his senses. "What does Su Gu mean? Is it just to wash away the dust? But it doesn't have to be in Shangyong County.
"Wang Can had countless doubts in his heart. He didn't understand why Su Gu chose to welcome him in Shangyong County, and even set up a banquet in Shangyong County to welcome him.
More importantly, the expected Hongmen Banquet did not appear.
All the officials were smiling and did not show any extreme behavior in standing up for Su Gu. Wang Can couldn't figure out what kind of conspiracy was hidden in this.
pS: Huh~~ The fourth update has finally been completed, please give me flowers...please collect... A new battle is about to begin, please give me some peace of mind!
