It’s early July and the midsummer season has passed.
Wang Can led the army on the road, and without any further delays on the way, they headed north from Chencang.
However, Wang Can's sphere of influence is no longer in the north of Huaili County.
Even if Wang Can wants to rush on the road quickly, it is impossible to have a smooth road. After the army encounters a city, it must stop and attack the city. Even if it is a small county town, it will take a while. Otherwise, if the army goes deep alone, Wang Can's army will face difficulties.
Threatened. The 60,000-strong army gradually encroached and turned the northern part of Huaili County into Wang Can's power.
Wang Can's territory continues to expand northward.
After the army arrived at Tianshui County, they stopped at Tianshui County to rest and recuperate.
Tianshui County was founded in the third year of Yuanding, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. With the development of history, Tianshui County has become the gateway to the Western Regions, and its position is very important. Tianshui County is located to the east of Longxi and is the gateway to the east of Longxi. Wang Can wants to send troops
To go to Longxi, you need to pass through Tianshui County.
Wang Can led an army of 60,000 to attack, but Tianshui County was unable to stop him. The county guard directly opened the city and surrendered.
Wang Can captured Tianshui County, transferred the original county governor back to Chang'an, and deprived him of his rights.
Then, Wang Can sent people to investigate the situation in Tianshui County. After roughly knowing the situation in Tianshui County, he selected a person who could be used by Wang Can as the governor of Tianshui County. In this way, Wang Can could ensure his escape.
Only by ensuring the safety of the army and having someone loyal to Wang Can sit in Tianshui can Han Sui's power be eliminated and Wang Can's power be as solid as a rock.
The army stopped to rest, but Han Sui sent an envoy again.
This time, Han Sui still did not listen to Wang Can's words and still sent envoys.
Han Sui was cunning and cunning, and the city was deep, so it was impossible for him to take the risk to visit Wang Can himself. If Wang Can killed him, his death would be in vain. Therefore, Han Sui still sent envoys to visit Wang Can.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Han Sui's envoy bowed his head and said: "Geng Zheng pays homage to the King of Shu!"
Wang Can looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Last time, I told Han Sui to come in person if he surrendered, but he didn't have a long memory and sent someone as an envoy anyway. Geng Zheng, you are very brave and you are not afraid
die."
Geng Zheng said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "It is my duty to share the Lord's worries. I dare not not come."
Wang Can said: "Because of your courage, I will not kill you."
Geng Zheng snorted and said calmly: "Thank you, King Shu, for not killing me."
Wang Can smiled coldly and said: "Just because I won't kill you doesn't mean I won't punish you. Geng Zheng, I won't chop off your hands and feet, nor pick your nose, but I will leave a deep impression on you.
Find out the situation clearly and don't take any job at will." As he spoke, Wang Can had a hint of bad taste on his face and shouted: "Where is Dian Wei?"
Dian Wei stood up, cupped his fists and said, "The general is here!"
Wang Can ordered: "Slap Geng Zheng... well, you can decide how many."
Dian Wei grinned and walked up quickly.
His iron tower-like body stood in front of Geng Zheng, making Geng Zheng feel extremely depressed. Dian Wei stretched out his hand, grabbed Geng Zheng's clothes, lifted up the big hand of the cattail leaf fan, and quickly dropped it. A crisp sound of snapping sounded.
, Geng Zheng was slapped twice by Dian Wei, and was knocked dizzy by Dian Wei. Clear five-fingerprints quickly appeared on his left and right cheeks, which were very conspicuous.
Geng Zheng pointed at Wang Can, trembling with anger.
On the one hand, his face was in burning pain from being slapped twice by Dian Wei, but on the other hand, he was humiliated in front of everyone. You can imagine how he felt.
Wang Can ignored him and asked, "Geng Zheng, why did Han Sui send you here?"
It's as if what just happened never happened.
Wang Can didn't have the slightest fondness for Geng Zheng.
Regarding Han Sui's old fox, Wang Can even blacklisted Han Sui.
Han Sui sent an envoy carelessly, without any sincerity, just to fool Wang Can. In this case, why should Wang Can give Han Sui face? No matter what he sent to say, he should give him two slaps in the face first.
Geng Zheng was so angry that he wanted to rush up and slap Wang Can twice.
Hateful, so hateful.
In his thirties, he had never been so humiliated.
Even Han Sui had to speak to him politely, and Han Sui persuaded him for a long time before he agreed to go on a mission for Han Sui. As soon as he arrived at Wang Can's camp, he was slapped twice by Wang Can's people.
, one can imagine Geng Zheng’s mood.
He was in an extremely bad mood. He flicked his sleeves, with a look of disdain on his face, and shouted loudly: "King of Shu, I came to see the King of Shu on behalf of Duke Han to avoid the disaster of swordsmanship and to avoid the loss of life of the people. Could it be that the King of Shu insists on destroying the people?"
Do you insist on starting a war regardless of your own life?"
When Wang Can heard this, his heart moved.
Geng Zheng called Han Sui Han Gong. I'm afraid he was not Han Sui's subordinate, but someone Han Sui had hired.
Wang Can's mind was racing and he didn't take Geng Zheng's words to heart. He spoke with confidence and said: "Geng Zheng, do you know that Han Sui once sent someone to pay homage to me. This is the second time you are here."
Geng Zheng said proudly: "Of course I know!"
Wang Can added: "Did you know that I once said that Han Sui should come in person instead of an envoy?"
Geng Zheng raised his eyebrows. Han Sui didn't tell him about this matter. Wang Can mentioned it just now. However, Geng Zheng couldn't say it. After all, he couldn't dismantle Han Sui himself. He took a deep breath and said straight to the point.
: "King of Shu, in order to show his sincerity in submitting to the King of Shu, Duke Han is willing to send 100,000 stones of grain to support the King of Shu. I hope the King of Shu will accept it."
Wang Can suddenly became interested and asked: "When will the food be delivered?"
Geng Zheng immediately said: "One hundred thousand stones of grain are on their way to Jicheng. At that time, Duke Han will also go to Jicheng. At that time, King Shu and Duke Han will meet in Jicheng, and Duke Han and King Shu can discuss the matter of surrender.
, Han Gong offered one hundred thousand stones of grain as a token of his sincerity to submit to the King of Shu. I wonder what the King of Shu thought?"
Geng Zheng spoke very fast, and he already wanted to leave Wang Can's camp.
The longer he stayed here, the more depressed he felt.
Wang Can said nothing, but Fazheng stood up.
Fazheng looked solemn and bowed to Wang Can. Then he looked at Geng Zheng and said righteously: "The location of the negotiation cannot be chosen by you. It must be designated by my king. This clause cannot be changed and there is no room for negotiation."
Geng Zheng held his head high and said: "It's impossible, the location must be in Jicheng."
At this time, Guo Jia stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Lord, blast this person out, we will send troops immediately."
Suddenly, the other generals also stood up and asked Wang Can to drive Geng Zheng away.
Han Sui sent Geng Zheng here and asked Wang Can to hand over food and negotiate things in Jicheng. This was obviously to set up Wang Can. If Han Sui had really made up his mind to submit to Wang Can, he would not have played so many tricks. As long as Han Sui met Wang Can alone,
Chan, everything was solved, but Han Sui was unwilling, obviously having other ideas.
Fazheng, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and other civil and military officials all guessed Han Sui's thoughts, so they suggested Wang Can reject Geng Zheng's proposal.
Wang Can also came up with Han Sui's thoughts.
After listening to everyone's words, he showed a thoughtful look on his face and did not directly reject Geng Zheng.
After a long time, Wang Can said: "Geng Zheng, go and inform Han Sui. The location is in Jicheng."
After Geng Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed. He completed the task proposed by Han Sui and left directly. After Geng Zheng left, Guo Jia hurriedly stood up and admonished: "My lord, a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall.
If you agree to go to Jicheng, you will easily fall into Han Sui's trap. When the time comes, the enemy will be in the dark and I will be in the light, so it will be difficult to guard against hidden arrows!"
Fazheng and others also stood up and persuaded Wang Can to change his mind.
Wang Can looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I only said that the location was in Jicheng, but I didn't say that I wanted to go to Jicheng. Han Sui wanted to go to Jicheng. He went, so I don't have to go!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, as long as Wang Can doesn't go to Jicheng.
