Wang Can rested in Chengdu for more than two months, once again put on his armor and took command, leading the army to leave Chengdu.
This action immediately attracted countless eyes, making people speculate what the purpose of Wang Can's troops leaving Chengdu was?
As the capital of Yizhou, Chengdu is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. Even if the hero building monitors the movements of Chengdu at all times, it cannot avoid the spies of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes in Chengdu. This cannot be prevented. Therefore, when Wang Can leads the troops from Chengdu
When I left, countless news spread.
However, Wang Can led the army to go south, and the spies of the princes were relieved again and did not need to worry.
As long as Wang Can did not send troops out of the Central Plains, it would have little impact on other princes.
Wang Can led his troops southward and went to Xianggao County.
When the army went to battle, Dian Wei and Wang Yue left with Wang Can. Because Dian Wei was Wang Can's personal guard, and Wang Yue was Wang Can's intelligence chief, they were indispensable.
However, there were not many generals who followed Wang Can southward.
Among the many generals, only two generals, Pang De and Yan Yan, accompanied them. As for the young generals, they were Lu Meng, Dian Man and Huang Xu. Lu Meng City had been recovering from injuries in Yong City for several months, and he had already recovered and returned.
Chengdu. Chen Dao and Zhang Ren have been incorporated into the army and are training soldiers in the army. They did not go south with Wang Can.
When defending Shangyong City, Chen Dao and Zhang Ren made great achievements and began to train their own soldiers.
Wang Can led an army of 40,000 people to go south, not by land, but by water.
The army moved south, with twenty large warships carrying tens of thousands of troops.
All the warships went down the Tuojiang River. When the warships entered the main channel of the Yangtze River, 40,000 troops landed on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and then all rushed to Xianggao County by land.
It has to be said that due to the inconvenient transportation in ancient times, the army did not rush on its way very fast. By the time the army arrived at Xangqi County, it was already July. From the time the troops were sent out in Chengdu, it took nearly a month. It was so slow.
The speed made Wang Can quite helpless.
However, the road was blocked, and Wang Can had no choice but to endure it.
This also gave Wang Can the idea of building roads. Later generations often said that if you want to get rich, build roads first. Wang Can wanted to have convenient transportation, so building roads was the easiest way.
When the army arrived at Xangqi County, Wang Can immediately summoned the prefect in charge of Xangqi County.
The prefect of Xianxian County was named Liu Chong, whose courtesy name was Shixin. He was from Mianzhu, Guanghan.
When Xu Shu served as the prefect of Zangqi County, Liu Chong served as the county magistrate of Zangqi County. After Xu Shu arrived at Zangqi County with Wang Can's decree, Liu Chong assisted Xu Shu in stabilizing the political affairs of Zangqi County. After Xu Shu resigned from Zangqi County, Liu Chong
Chong took over as the prefect of Zangqi County and became the person in charge of Zangqi County.
In the main hall of the Sheriff's Mansion, Wang Can was sitting in the main seat.
Sitting below were the civil and military officials of Zangqi County, as well as the civil and military generals brought by Wang Can.
Wang Can's eyes fell on Liu Chong, and he saw that Liu Chong was eight feet tall, with a crown and a powerful belt. He was impressively handsome and talented, which made people admire him. Wang Can saw that Liu Chong had an outstanding appearance, and he had a good impression of him. After all,
Everyone has likes and dislikes, and when faced with a good thing, his heart will always be happier.
Wang Can asked with a smile: "Prefect Liu, please tell me about the situation of Wuxi Barbarians."
As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, Liu Chong must have his own way of governing when he became the governor of Xianggao County.
However, Liu Chong's governing policy was quite different from that of Xu Shu. Xu Shu advocated defeating the Wuxi Barbarians and completely surrendering them, but Liu Chong advocated a gentle policy towards the Wuxi Barbarians and taking them for his own use.
Liu Chong smiled faintly, clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to your lord, I sent someone from my humble position to lobby Shamoke, the barbarian king of Wuxi, to make him love Yizhou and become a part of Yizhou." As he spoke, Liu Chong glanced at Xu Shu and continued.
: "The war can only increase the hatred of the Wuxi barbarians against the Han people. Only by using gentle methods can the Wuxi barbarians who have lived in Wuling for generations gradually recognize the Han people and fundamentally solve the barbarians. Please give me some advice."
These words overturned Xu Shu's previous policies.
After Wang Can heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up, with a faint smile on his face.
It seems that the prefect recommended by Xu Shu did not agree with Xu Shu, or that Liu Chong hid his thoughts when he was working with Xu Shu before, and only acted according to his own ideas after Xu Shu left.
Xu Shu looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose. His expression remained unchanged, without any change.
It seemed that he didn't hear Liu Chong's words.
Seeing that Xu Shu didn't say anything, Wang Can felt funny in his heart, and immediately asked: "It's a great achievement for Governor Liu to appease the Wuxi Barbarian King, so I can only celebrate it. But since you have convinced the Wuxi Barbarian King, Benzhou Mu will not send troops for the time being. Benzhou
The Mu is staying here, and you ask Samoko to come and have an audience with the Mu of Honshu."
After Liu Chong heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched and a troubled expression appeared on his face.
Wang Can asked: "Prefect Liu, do you have something to hide?"
Liu Chong wiped his forehead, waved his hand and said: "No, no problem!" Liu Chong bowed slightly, cold sweat began to break out on his back, and he secretly cursed himself for trying so hard.
In fact, Liu Chong did send people to persuade the Wuxi Barbarians and reached an agreement with the Barbarian King Samoko.
However, Liu Chong had no right to recruit the Wuxi Barbarian King.
He is a mute and cannot speak of his sufferings. He only hopes that after sending soldiers to inform Samoko, Samoko will cooperate and agree to come to see Wang Can, so that he will not be in the middle.
Liu Chong's method of dealing with Wuxi barbarians is somewhat similar to that of Liu Yu, the former governor of Youzhou. They both like to use gentle methods to appease the foreign tribes and achieve the ultimate goal. However, Liu Chong did not take over the Zangzhou County for a long time, not even a year.
, it is still difficult to recruit Samoko, but Wang Can's order has been issued, so he can only arrange it.
Wang Can waved his hand and said, "Okay, go make arrangements earlier. I'll wait for news at the Prefect's Mansion."
"promise!"
Liu Chong replied, turned around and left the hall.
Wang Can led his army to garrison in Xianggao County, and naturally occupied the prefect's mansion.
As for Liu Chong, who was originally in the prefect's residence, he immediately moved his residence and was put aside to become Wang Can's foil. At the same time, Dian Wei, Wang Yue, Xu Shu and Lu Meng who followed Wang Can also lived in the prefect's residence, while Pang De,
Yan Yan, Dianman and Huang Xu stayed in the military camp and took charge of the daily affairs of the army.
After Liu Chong left, Wang Can looked at Xu Shu, who had been silent, and said, "Yuanzhi, I think the new governor of Xianggao County has some objections to you!"
Xu Shu smiled and said: "My lord, we just have different political views. It's not surprising."
He spoke plainly and did not have much emotion.
In fact, it was Xu Shu who didn't see Liu Chong clearly. When Xu Shu and Liu Chong were partners in the past, Liu Chong followed Xu Shu in everything and did not hold Xu Shu back. That's why Xu Shu recommended Liu Chong to take over as the prefect. But Liu Chong was anxious.
Only by implementing his will can Xu Shu's policy policy be completely negated.
Each official in charge of the government has his own political philosophy, so it is not surprising that Liu Chong and Xu Shu went in opposite directions.
Wang Can shook his head and did not continue to pester Xu Shu and Liu Chong.
He ordered: "Yuanzhi, you are familiar with the situation in Zangqi County. Please seize the time to sort out the situation in Zangqi County, and also sort out all the situations in Wuxi Barbarians, and hand them over to me as soon as possible."
"promise!"
Xu Shu replied and agreed.
Wang Can waved his hand for Xu Shu to retreat, and then dismissed the civil and military personnel under his command.
He came with his troops and had a certain understanding of Xangqi County through Xu Shu's description. However, he knew nothing about the actual situation, so Wang Can asked Xu Shu to understand the recent situation.
