Wang Can looked at Wei Dan who was full of expectations and asked with a smile: "Wei Dan, what do you think?"
Without any hesitation, Wei Dan opened his mouth and said directly: "This junior wants to worship Mr. Pang De or Sima Hui as his teacher!" When speaking, Wei Dan ignored Wang Can's identity as the King of Shu and directly addressed him as a junior, which was really weird.
In fact, Wei Dan still wanted to take Cai Yong as his teacher.
But Wang Can was Cai Yong's disciple, and if he really became Cai Yong's disciple, wouldn't he become Wang Can's junior brother? Wei Dan had concerns in his heart, and finally removed Cai Yong from the list of disciples.
"Hahaha……"
Suddenly, Wang Can laughed loudly, making Wei Dan feel a little embarrassed.
Wei Duan listened to Wang Can's laughter, glared at Wei Dan, and frowned slightly.
Pang Degong and Sima Hui are great scholars in the world, how can they just become their disciples? Moreover, Wei Dan brought it up in front of Wang Can, which is already posing a problem for Wang Can, which is a bit rude. After all, Sima Hui and Pang Degong are not Wang Can's.
There is no subordination relationship between subordinates, and it is even less possible for them to accept Wang Can's orders at will.
Wei Kang secretly shook his head and felt that Wei Dan was acting awkwardly. It was okay to ask Wang Can for help in private regarding the apprenticeship, but asking Wang Can to give orders was obviously not feasible.
When Wei Dan saw Wang Can laughing, he became angry and asked loudly: "Dare you ask the King of Shu, is there anything wrong?"
Wang Can shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong. I just laughed at your request for being too simple."
When Wei Dan heard this, he was stunned.
It was so easy to become a disciple of Lord Pang De or Sima Hui? Such a result was too sudden. For a moment, Wei Dan felt like he was knocked unconscious by happiness.
Wei Dan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Can.
Wang Can said: "I built a liberal arts college in Chengdu and recruited students. Pang De and Sima Hui taught there. There were also other great Confucians teaching in the academy. No matter who they were, the students who entered the liberal arts college were all Pang De and Sima Hui.
Their disciples, after you enter the Academy of Arts, you will also be their disciples. This requirement is indeed very simple."
After a pause, Wang Can continued: "But if you want to become a direct disciple of Pang Degong or Sima Hui, it depends on whether you have that potential. Gu can arrange for you to enter the liberal arts academy to study, and the rest depends on your own destiny."
In an instant, Wei Dan was about to cry again but had no tears.
After listening to Wang Can's explanation, he felt that the chance of becoming a disciple was almost zero.
There were countless people going to study at the Chengdu Liberal Arts College, and it was not an easy task for him to successfully become a disciple. Wei Dan wanted to speak, but saw Wei Kang giving him a vicious look.
At that moment, Wei Dan thanked him sadly: "Thank you so much, King Shu!"
Wang Can nodded and didn't say much.
Wei Duan hurriedly asked: "King of Shu, when will the humble post come to Chengdu?" At this time, Wei Duan's own self-proclaimed name also changed, becoming a common official "humble post", obviously approving Wang Can's arrangement.
Wang Can smiled and said: "It's a long way to Chengdu, and since you are going as a family, there are a lot of people, so it's better to set off early. Let's do this. You will set off for Chengdu tomorrow. I will write the edict for your appointment and wait.
After you arrive in Chengdu, pay homage to Cheng Yu with the imperial edict, and you will take office immediately."
Wei Duan expressed his thanks again and left with Wei Kang and Wei Dan.
After leaving the hall, Wei Dan was still not in high spirits.
Wei Kang saw Wei Dan's expression and sighed: "Second brother, Mr. Pang De and Sima Hui are great scholars in the world and are well-known in Jingxiang. It is impossible for the King of Shu to force them to accept disciples. You proposed such an unreasonable thing in front of the King of Shu.
The requirements of etiquette make it difficult for the King of Shu to handle. Fortunately, the King of Shu allows you to study in a liberal arts academy. This is already good, so cherish it."
Wei Dan said: "Brother, I understand, I'm just a little disappointed."
The three of them talked as they walked and returned to the courtyard where they lived.
In the hall, Wang Can flipped through the household registration and taxes that Wei Kang had brought out, and then put them aside. These matters were left to the new Liangzhou governor, as long as he had a clear idea.
Wei Duan handed over power, which meant that Liangzhou was already under Wang Can's rule.
The rest of the small warlords or bandits have become insignificant.
As soon as the army arrives, it will be solved immediately.
…
Early the next morning, Wei Duan and his family bid farewell to Wang Can and left Jicheng. Fifteen carriages rushed to Chengdu. Wang Can sent Wei Duan and his family away, returned to the hall, and sent Fazheng and Guo
When Jia came and Wei Duan left, Liangzhou had become an empty frame. As long as the army led by Zhao Yun and Lu Meng arrived, they would be able to sweep Liangzhou immediately.
As for Zhangye County, Xijun and other places, they can also be pacified easily.
Wang Can looked at Guo Jia and Fazheng and said straight to the point: "Wei Duan went to Chengdu, Liangzhou has been pacified, and we are almost ready to return to Chengdu. But the governor of Liangzhou is vacant and someone must take over. What do you two think?"
"
It involves the deployment of officials, which is very important.
Fazheng was deep in thought, seemingly considering who was suitable to be the governor of Liangzhou.
Guo Jia said loudly: "My lord, although Liangzhou is basically pacified, there is no guarantee that there will be no invasion by foreigners, or that there will be bandits in Liangzhou. Therefore, it is obviously inappropriate to send a civilian official to serve as the governor. I think the candidate for the governor of Liangzhou will not be suitable."
You must be brave and resourceful, able to lead troops in battle and appease the people, otherwise Liangzhou will not be governed well."
Wang Can nodded, looked at Fazheng again, and asked, "Xiaozhi, what do you think?"
At this time, Fa Zheng was still deep in thought.
As soon as Wang Can spoke, he immediately woke up Fazheng and hurriedly said: "My lord, in the northwest, there are natural horse farms suitable for equipping cavalry. My lord wants to appoint the governor of Liangzhou. I think I can choose a general from the army to stay.
On the one hand, he governs the people, and on the other hand, he selects war horses and trains an elite cavalry force. In the past, when my lord occupied Yizhou, war horses were scarce, and there were only 3,000 soldiers in the barracks. Now that we have sufficient resources, we can expand the cavalry."
Wang Can asked: "Xiaozhi, do you mean to let Zilong stay?"
Fazheng shook his head and said: "All generals in the army can stay, it all depends on the Lord's decision."
When Wang Can heard this, he smiled and secretly cursed Fa Zheng for being slippery and unrestrained. However, according to the suggestions put forward by Fa Zheng, only Zhao Yun was the most suitable. Moreover, Zhao Yun was both civil and military, brave and resourceful. He could lead an army in battle when mounted and govern when dismounted.
Bao Min is a rare all-rounder who is better than other generals.
Of course, Chen Dao, Lu Meng and Zhang Ren are all good, but the three lack qualifications and prestige.
Wang Can pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Fa Zheng, please immediately send an order to Zhao Yun and Lu Meng to stop the attack and return to Jicheng with the army to discuss candidates."
"promise!"
Fazheng nodded in agreement and immediately carried out the order.
Guo Jia stood up, bowed to Wang Can, and turned to leave.
Wang Can sat alone in the hall, thinking about the candidates to stay. Even if Zhao Yun was allowed to stay in Liangzhou as the governor, it would not be possible for Zhao Yun to be the governor alone. This would appear to be a weak force, so there must be enough candidates.
Chen Dao and Zhang Ren are both good candidates.
In comparison, Dianman and Huang Xu are also good.
These people can stay and assist Zhao Yun in handling matters in Liangzhou.
After Wang Can carefully thought about it, not only did he not decide on the candidate, but he was in a mess. He didn't know who to keep and who to take away. In the end, Wang Can simply waited for Zhao Yun, Lu Meng and others to return to Jicheng, and directly
Ask them for their opinions and see which ones are willing to stay.
When the time comes, make a decision.
As time passed, Zhao Yun and Lu Meng led the army back quickly.
Both of them were full of doubts and failed to understand the situation. They had led the army to capture Jincheng. Next, Zhao Yun and Lu Meng were preparing to march straight in and capture Liangzhou.
However, at this time, Wang Can's order came, telling the two to suspend the attack and return to Jicheng immediately.
Zhao Yun and Lu Meng were confused, but they returned to Jicheng in the shortest possible time and met Wang Can.
