The next day, Liu Bei and Chen Gong reached an agreement and agreed to send troops to attack Wang Can.
Liu Bei agreed so readily, which made Chen Gong feel a little disappointed. Because he knew that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were firmly opposed to sending troops to attack Wang Can, and Liu Bei defied all opinions and agreed to send troops. It must be because of the conversation yesterday afternoon.
It worked, and Liu Bei readily agreed.
Chen Gong completed the task, but the feeling of disappointment in his heart became more intense.
This feeling was inexplicable and made Chen Gong feel a little irritable.
However, after Chen Gong completed his mission, he had other things to do and did not have much time to think about the matters between him and Liu Bei. He directly said goodbye to Liu Bei and prepared to leave Runan.
When Chen Gong left, Liu Bei personally escorted Chen Gong out of the city.
This time, Liu Bei and Chen Gong rode in the same carriage, and there was no situation where Liu Bei was driving the carriage.
However, after delivering Chen Gong to the city gate, Liu Bei walked a few miles before stopping and did not continue to deliver him.
Guan Yu, wearing a green shirt, rode his horse and stood beside Liu Bei, saying: "Brother, once Lu Bu is killed, there is a certain chance of conquering Chen Gong."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei also looked at Liu Bei intently, looking forward to Liu Bei's reply.
Liu Bei was confident. He twirled his short beard under his chin and said with a smile: "100% sure!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Bei turned around and walked back.
After hearing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a look of astonishment on their faces. Under the winter sun, the golden light fell on Liu Bei, looking dazzling, sacred, calm and confident. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei's returning figure and were stunned for a moment.
They were stunned. Now, their eldest brother spoke so confidently and sonorously. This was their eldest brother.
Under the bright sun, the group returned to Runan City.
…
"诱辘辘!"
The wheels turned and the carriage moved quickly.
In the carriage, Chen Gong closed his eyes and meditated, while the people driving outside the carriage were Chen Gong's followers and servants of Chen Gong. As for the soldiers accompanying Chen Gong, they were also Chen Gong's guards and were absolutely loyal.
Chen Gong's entourage asked: "Master, we have completed the task, why are you unhappy?"
Along the way, Chen Gong's face looked a little solemn, which made his entourage puzzled.
Chen Gong said calmly: "If you don't understand, don't ask, and drive well, we have to rush to Wancheng."
"promise!"
The attendant felt embarrassed, and immediately became silent. He sat quietly on the shaft of the carriage, waved his whip, and drove towards Wancheng.
After Chen Gong left Runan, he had to go to Wancheng.
When attacking Wang Can, the more princes there are, the better.
Liu Bei agreed to send troops to attack Wang Can, and Chen Gong naturally hoped that Zhang Xiu could join him. As long as these two princes participated in sending troops, the chance of defeating Wang Can would be much greater, so Chen Gong had to go.
Man proposes, God disposes.
Chen Gong doesn't care whether he can succeed or not, as long as he tries his best.
When Chen Gong arrived in Wancheng, Zhang Xiu received Chen Gong politely and hosted a banquet. However, Zhang Xiu did not mention the attack on Wang Can at the banquet. However, Chen Gong proposed to attack Wang Can, and Zhang Xiu immediately
They would just be careless and change the subject, or simply avoid answering, not wanting to get involved in the issue of attacking Wang Can.
Zhang Xiu fought with Wang Can and knew Wang Can's details.
Wang Can not only has Guo Jia and Xun You under his command, but also Li Ru and Jia Xu. These four are all top-notch counselors, full of schemes and cannot be defeated easily.
Zhang Xiu also received news that Jia Xu and Li Ru had lost consecutive battles, but he didn't believe it.
With the abilities of Jia Xu and Li Ru, it is impossible for them to be so miserable.
What's more important is that even if Li Ru and Jia Xu were defeated, and Xun You and Guo Jia were also defeated, Wang Can only lost Guanzhong without any losses. After the army retreated, Wang Can could recover all his troops.
Hanzhong, stick to Yizhou. In this way, even if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao join forces, it will be difficult to invade Yizhou, so Zhang Xiu has no plan to send troops.
Chen Gong wanted to persuade Zhang Xiu, but he was faced with a curled up hedgehog and was unable to do anything. After staying in Wancheng for two days, Chen Gong did not make any progress.
Two days later, Chen Gong returned without success and headed to Shangyong City.
…
Hanzhong County, Nanzheng County.
After Wang Can's army arrived in Hanzhong, the soldiers were handed over to Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others for training, while Wang Can and Xu Shu began to collect and analyze the news coming from Hanzhong and make countermeasures.
When the war began, Wang Can arranged for the hero buildings in various states to play a huge role.
Once there is any movement, it will be transmitted continuously.
When Wang Can and Xu Shu were discussing things, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
"Come in!"
Wang Can shouted, and after the voice fell, a soldier quickly walked in with a piece of paper and respectfully handed it to Wang Can's hand. Wang Can took the note and read it carefully, the look on his face suddenly changed.
He became solemn because the news on the note was about Chen Gong's mission to Runan.
After Wang Can read it, he handed the note to Xu Shu.
Not long after, Xu Shu also finished reading the news.
Wang Can waved his hands to dismiss the soldiers and said: "Yuanzhi, we don't know the outcome of Chen Gong's mission to Runan, but if Liu Bei agrees and sends troops to join this war, Shangyong's situation will change again."
Xu Shu smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Shangyong has three powerful generals: Zhang Ren, Chen Dao, Zhou Tai, and Fazheng in charge of the overall situation. They are enough to deal with the armies of Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and Liu Bei. Even if Liu Bei leads the army to join them,
At most, it’s just a few more soldiers, nothing to worry about.”
Wang Can said worriedly: "Yuanzhi, there are two tiger generals under Liu Bei's command, and their martial arts are not weaker than Lu Bu. One is Guan Yu, and the other is Zhang Fei. Both of them have courage that no man can match. If two
Together with Lu Bu, these three people attack Shangyong City, but three tigers come down from the mountain and it is difficult to resist!"
Xu Shu has been dealing with various news in the past few days and also learned about Liu Bei's affairs.
He smiled and said: "Judging from my humble position, there is nothing to worry about in Shangyong City."
Wang Can raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
Xu Shu said: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have strong tempers, and they are grudges against Lu Bu for taking over Liu Bei's Xuzhou, so they cannot cooperate with Lu Bu. Besides, Yuan Shu comes from a wealthy family, and they look down on Liu Bei who is a royal family member from the bottom of his heart. On the surface, they
If we unite, there will definitely be friction behind the scenes. Such an alliance is just like the coalition of princes in the past. Each has its own agenda and it is difficult to accomplish anything big."
After a pause, Xu Shu continued: "Fa Zhengshan has come up with a clever plan, and there are two wise generals, Chen Dao and Zhang Ren. In addition, Zhou Tai is brave and powerful. I believe that I can defend Shangyong from my humble position. My lord is just waiting for the news."
Wang Can thought about it carefully and finally nodded.
If he wanted to hone Fa Zheng, Chen Dao and Zhang Ren, he had to let them stand alone.
The army that can defeat Liu Bei, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu is the best. Even if it is defeated, Wang Can can still raise troops to rescue. Although such a battle poses a great threat, it is also a great opportunity to train troops, generals and counselors.
Wang Can made up his mind and immediately shouted: "Here comes someone!"
As soon as the voice fell, a soldier ran in, waiting for Wang Can's instructions.
Wang Can ordered: "Notify Fazheng immediately that Liu Bei may send troops to attack Shangyong City, and ask him to be careful and alert. As for how to respond, let him make his own decision without reporting."
Wang Can passed the news to Fa Zheng and gave Fa Zheng the right to make decisions freely.
The purpose of doing this is naturally to hone Fazheng and others. There is only so much that Wang Can can do, and Fazheng has to make his own decision on the specific matters.
Ps: The fourth update is completed, it’s time to call it a day and take a break.
