Wang Can led his soldiers to pursue and kill Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, causing them to flee in embarrassment.
The army continued to pursue for several miles, and finally stopped when they were close to Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's camp, and returned to Shangyong City.
After Lu Bu and Yuan Shu fled back to the camp in embarrassment, they immediately ordered to dig ditches in the camp and install Juma and other fortifications to resist Wang Can's attack. Lu Bu and Yuan Shu stayed in the camp, licking their wounds alone. When they arrived at Shangyong, they
He led the troops to fight out with great momentum, but in the end they came back defeated and in a state of disarray.
After Chen Gong and Zhang Liao returned, they went to the camp to count the number of soldiers under their command and place the wounded.
Yuan Shu also sent people to arrange things for his soldiers, but no matter what, Yuan Shu's losses could not be made up.
Zhang Xun was killed and Yang Hong was killed. The death of the two generals greatly damaged Yuan Shu's strength and weakened it greatly. Even if the soldiers under his command can be replenished through recruitment, the weakening of the general's strength cannot be achieved by recruiting just a few soldiers.
Those who can recover must recruit military commanders again.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu sat opposite each other.
Yuan Shu looked at Lu Bu and asked: "General Lu, today your counselors sent troops to rescue us, which gave us a breath of relief. Who is this person?"
Lu Bu smiled and said, "He is my military advisor Chen Gong, whose nickname is Gongtai. He is good at strategy and can march and form formations. He is a powerful person. In the past, Chen Gong captured Cao Cao who fled Luoyang after he attempted to assassinate Dong Zhuo.
It's a pity that Cao Cao killed innocent people indiscriminately, so Gongtai abandoned Cao Cao. When I left Chang'an, he gave me advice."
"What happened today, Gongtai arranged soldiers to support our army's retreat. Unfortunately, Wang Can was too cunning. After sending a large army to pursue and kill for a while, he actually led an army to pursue and kill him. It is simply unpredictable. This is beyond human predictability, and Gongtai can stop it.
Wang Can's soldiers are already very good."
When Lu Bu mentioned Wang Can, he gritted his teeth with hatred.
In the past when the princes were fighting against Dong, Wang Can was unable to defeat Lü Bu, and Zhao Yun could not defeat Lü Bu. However, Wang Can invited Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and others to attack Lü Bu, causing Lü Bu to flee in confusion and had to retreat.
Now that Wang Can was full of wings, he actually sent three people to besiege him.
These three people are all top-notch powerful figures, and when the three of them attack together, Lu Bu is helpless.
While Lu Bu was gritting his teeth, he didn't notice that Yuan Shu's eyes were shining with a strange look. Yuan Shu thought for a moment and said, "General Lu, since Chen Gong is so powerful, why didn't Chen Gong give General Lu a hand when we sent out troops?"
Can you give me some advice? As long as he is willing to advise us, he will definitely be able to defeat Wang Can."
When talking, Yuan Shu did not mention Wang Can at all, but related everything to Chen Gong.
Lu Bu was a big boss and didn't notice Yuan Shu's difference at all.
Moreover, when Yuan Shu asked, Lu Bu looked a little embarrassed, and spoke hesitantly and reluctantly. Seeing this, Yuan Shu was unwilling to let Lu Bu go, and continued to ask: "General Lu, could it be that Chen Gongtu has a false reputation? You
Tell me you lied to me. If Chen Gong had given advice, how could we fail to attack Wang Can?"
Lu Bu was provoked by Yuan Shu and blurted out: "How can this be so? Gongtai had previously advised me to set up camp first and find out the specific situation before leading the troops to fight Wang Can!"
Yuan Shu said oh, but a hint of joy appeared on his face.
That being said, wouldn't it be...
Yuan Shu was secretly delighted. After some thought, he said in a deep voice: "General Lu, we fought with Wang Can and suffered heavy casualties. At this time, we need wise men like Chen Gongtai to come up with suggestions to stabilize the situation and defeat Wang Can. In my opinion,
, or invite Chen Gongtai to come to the camp, and we can ask him for advice on how to defeat Wang Can, what do you think?"
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows with an impatient look on his face.
He had previously rejected Chen Gong's suggestion, and now he was begging Chen Gong in a low voice. Wouldn't it be very shameful?
Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "General Yuan, I think it's better to forget it. The army has been defeated for the first time. Let all the soldiers recuperate for a few days. After the army recovers, we can discuss a plan to deal with Wang Can." Although Lu Bu also wanted to do it immediately.
Although he defeated Wang Can, he could not save his dignity and went to plead with Chen Gong. This is also the reason why it is difficult for people like Lu Bu to achieve great things.
In history, no one of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan was simple.
Li Zongwu commented that Cao Cao has a dark heart, Liu Bei has a thick face, and Sun Quan is not only dark-hearted but also thick-faced. This is also true. As a ruler, you must not only be able to control the overall situation, but also be able to bend and stretch.
At least, Lu Bu couldn't do this, and Lu Bu especially liked to show off his courage.
This is something Lu Bu has in his bones and is difficult to change.
Yuan Shu wanted to know more about Chen Gong's talent. How could he let Lu Bu go so easily?
He said in a deep voice: "General Lu, our crusade against Wang Can is of great importance. Not only are we attacking Yizhou this time, but Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will also attack together. If Yuan Shao and Cao Cao defeat the army that stayed in Chang'an and go south,
After they invade Chengdu, they will definitely get more benefits, but we will be less successful, so we should let Chen Gong make suggestions earlier!"
After hearing this, Lu Bu showed hesitation on his face.
On the one hand, it involves his face, and on the other hand, the attack on Wang Can makes him waver.
Seeing that Lu Bu was still hesitant, Yuan Shu secretly scolded Lu Bu for being a mediocre man who couldn't achieve great things. He ignored a good counselor and still cared about his own face.
It would be great if he had talented people to use him!
At this time, Yuan Shu was not only jealous of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Wang Can, but also jealous of Lu Bu.
You said Wang Can, a thief like Cao Cao is cunning, it is reasonable to have counselors, but a brave man like Lu Bu just stands in the manhole and does not shit, it is really a waste of natural resources.
He persuaded: "General Lu, the matter is urgent, so you can't hesitate!"
Lu Bu couldn't stand Yuan Shu's persuasion, so he waved his hands impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, I'll send someone to call Gongtai right now."
He looked a little unhappy, but he still turned his head, looked outside the tent, and shouted: "Here comes someone!" After the voice fell, Lu Bu's soldiers ran in, bowed to Lu Bu, and waited for Lu Bu's instructions.
Yuan Shu became happy when he saw that Lu Bu had made up his mind.
Lu Bu ordered: "Go and invite Military Advisor Chen. I have important matters to discuss with him!"
"promise!"
The soldier replied, then turned and left.
After Yuan Shu watched the soldiers leave, he turned his eyes and said loudly: "General Lu, we encountered obstacles in Shangyong City, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were blocked in Chang'an. As long as we defeat Wang Can first, no matter whether it is to kill
Wang Can, or if we capture Wang Can, we can get the opportunity to enter Chengdu first, won't we be able to share more benefits by then?"
After hearing this, Lu Bu nodded.
Not long after, the sound of trampling footsteps was heard outside the camp.
The tent door curtain opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a green robe walked in. The middle-aged man had a mustache, three short strands of beard under his chin, and a pair of bright eyes. The middle-aged man walked forward, revealing a
He has an extraordinary demeanor, elegance and a hint of majesty, which makes people feel good.
When Yuan Shu saw this, he secretly praised Chen Gong as a great talent!
