After Geng Zheng left, Wang Can let the army rest in Tianshui County for another day, and then led the troops to leave.
From Tianshui County to Longxi, the distance is thousands of miles.
However, the journey from Tianshui County to Jicheng was shortened by more than half. Han Sui chose Jicheng as the location for the negotiation. Wang Can didn't know what Han Sui's plan was? But Wang Can was sure that Han Sui had no good intentions.
Han Sui, the old fox, was as cunning as a fox and cautious. Since he invited Wang Can to go, he must have prepared a perfect plan.
When Wang Can led his troops to fight against Han Sui, he was extremely cautious and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
When the army was on its way, its speed plummeted.
Sometimes, I only walked ten miles in a day, or even walked five miles in a day.
This situation is the result of discussions between Wang Can, Guo Jia and Fazheng.
Moreover, Wang Can has already passed the news to Zhao Yun and asked Zhao Yun to arrange it. After the generals in the army learned about Wang Can's arrangement, they were not in a hurry and walked along leisurely, as if they were sightseeing along the way to enjoy the scenery.
, very leisurely. It doesn’t look like marching or fighting at all.
This situation is puzzling.
On this day, the army stopped and did not rush forward.
Wang Can took Guo Jia and Fazheng to leave the camp and went out for a stroll. Dian Wei and his soldiers were there to protect them, and the location was close to the camp where the army was stationed, so there was no safety risk.
The group of people walked and talked.
Wang Can looked at the surrounding scenery, feeling relaxed and quite happy.
Wang Can put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, how long do you think it will take us to reach Jicheng if we continue at this speed?"
Guo Jia loudly replied: "My lord, if we travel ten or five miles a day, even if we stop and not hurry, we may not be able to reach Jicheng in a year and a half. I estimate that it will take at least one or two years to arrive. By then, Han
So I waited in Jicheng until my eyes were filled with tears and my hair turned white."
Fazheng joked: "Han Sui has turned gray long ago at his age."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Then there is no need to grow old, just wait until death."
Fazheng continued: "My lord, what you said makes sense. Han Sui is waiting to die in Jicheng."
Guo Jia smiled and did not interrupt. The three people, including Dian Wei who was standing not far away, walked and stopped on the road, admiring the scenery of Xiliang. However, this is not a desert area, and there is no spectacular desolation.
It is impossible to see the solitary smoke in the desert. But Wang Can is in a good mood, and this is enough.
…
After Geng Zheng completed his mission, he hurriedly left Tianshui County and headed towards Longxi.
When he arrived at Jicheng alone and on a horse, Han Sui had not arrived yet. Therefore, Geng Zheng continued to walk a little further and met Han Sui's army on the road between Jicheng and Longxi.
After Geng Zheng saw Han Sui, he immediately reported the situation.
When Han Sui heard that Wang Can agreed to meet in Jicheng, he was very happy and said, "Mr. Geng is really powerful. He actually convinced Wang Can."
Mentioning Wang Can, Geng Zheng felt extremely angry.
Even though he completed the task given by Han Sui and received praise from Han Sui, an indelible shadow was left in Geng Zheng's heart. Geng Zheng will never forget that Wang Can asked Dian Wei to humiliate him in public, and it is impossible for him to forget.
Geng Zheng encountered such a situation. On the one hand, he was angry with Han Sui for not telling him the real situation, but more importantly, he hated Wang Can.
When Geng Zheng heard Han Sui's praise, he felt uninterested.
He shook his head and said humbly: "It was all thanks to Duke Han's planning to convince Wang Can."
Han Sui saw that Geng Zheng was able to do things efficiently, and he was also humble and kind. He began to love talents and said with a smile, "I would like to invite Mr. Geng to serve as a meritorious officer. What do you think of Mr. Geng?"
Geng Zheng immediately shook his head and said, "I have no intention of pursuing an official career. Thank you very much, Mr. Han, for your kindness."
He talked to Han Sui for a while, then said goodbye and left.
Seeing that Geng Zheng was ignorant of current affairs, Han Sui was angry in his heart, but did not show any emotion on his face. He sent Geng Zheng away with a smile, behaving like a courteous and virtuous corporal.
When Han Sui returned to the Chinese army's tent, the soldiers outside heard low voices and curses coming from the tent.
The soldiers kept silent for fear of being implicated.
…
Wang Can led the army to move slowly, but he sent countless scouts to check for news about Han Sui's army. In this war, Wang Can and his soldiers could move slowly, but the scouts under his command could not stay.
It is necessary to find out the news about Han Sui to ensure that Wang Can can seize the opportunity.
In the Chinese army's main tent, after Wang Can finished handling military affairs, he called Guo Jia and Fazheng over.
He suddenly thought of the two brothers Ma Chao and Ma Xiu, and asked directly: "Xiaozhi, we haven't heard about Ma Chao for a while. Have they ever showed up?"
Fazheng replied: "My lord, Ma Chao and Ma Xiu seem to have fallen silent, and no news has been revealed. After they escaped, did they defect to Han Sui?"
Guo Jiaxiao said: "Perhaps Ma Chao and others have met with Han Sui and are planning to defeat the lord."
Wang Can smiled and said: "I hope they defect to Han Sui so that I can catch them all in one fell swoop."
After a pause, Wang Can asked again: "Fengxiao, where did Han Sui's army arrive?"
Guo Jia looked solemn and said seriously: "At present, Han Sui's army has passed Beiyuan and is rushing to Jicheng. It is estimated that Han Sui will arrive in Jicheng in five or six days."
Wang Can said: "It seems that the old fox is really planning to do something big in Jicheng."
Fazheng said coldly: "We have exhausted all the mechanisms, but we are still in the middle. Although Han Sui is cunning, it is impossible to win in the end. This battle is destined for Han Sui to fail, and we will definitely win."
Fazheng's tone was firm, revealing strong confidence.
Wang Can nodded and agreed. He must defeat Han Sui, the old fox, in order to pacify Xiliang.
"Tap! Tread!"
Outside the camp, there was a rush of footsteps.
A soldier quickly walked outside the camp and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have something urgent to report." Wang Can immediately let the soldiers in. After the soldiers greeted him, Wang Can asked directly: "What's the matter?"
The soldier said: "A man claiming to be 'Yang Feng' came outside the camp and asked to see the king."
Yang Feng?
Wang Can murmured, with a look of confusion on his face.
Fazheng didn't know about Yang Feng. He saw the expressions of Wang Can and Guo Jia. They knew Yang Feng clearly, so he asked: "My lord, who is Yang Feng?"
Wang Can nodded towards Guo Jia, and Guo Jia gave a rough explanation, and Fazheng had a certain impression.
Wang Can looked at the soldier and said, "Invite him in!"
"promise!"
The soldier replied and immediately left the camp to inform Yang Feng.
Not long after, Yang Feng strode into the camp wearing a ghost mask, a navy blue robe, and a sword hanging from his waist, and bowed to Wang Can.
Wang Can asked: "Yang Feng, why are you asking to see me outside the camp? What's the important thing?"
Yang Feng said in a deep voice: "I am here for the life of the King of Shu."
After hearing this, Fazheng and Guo Jia had surprised expressions on their faces. This guy's tone was too arrogant. Even though they had met Wang Can once, they didn't get along well. After Yang Feng met Wang Can, he spoke
Just saying that they came here for Wang Can's life left an arrogant impression on Guo Jia and Fazheng.
Wang Can smiled and said, "Yang Feng, I have tens of thousands of troops under my command, and Dian Wei leads the troops to protect me. How can there be any danger? I'm afraid you are exaggerating."
In fact, Wang Can really didn't believe it.
He has 60,000 troops under his command, and Dian Wei is always protecting him, so he doesn't have to worry about his own safety.
