Wang Can stayed at the Academy of Sciences for several hours, discussing with Mo Yan, Ma Jun and others the future development of the Academy, the production of new giant crossbows, improved gunpowder and other matters, and finally left the Academy with satisfaction.
After that, Wang Can went to the Medical College, Liberal Arts College, and Martial Arts College, and successively visited important figures of the older generation such as Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Tong Yuan, Deng Zhan, and Wang Yue.
This trip took several days.
On the last trip, Wang Can met Zuo Ci, Yu Ji and others, and then everything was successfully completed.
On the road, the carriage was driving, returning to the palace.
Wang Can sat cross-legged in the carriage, closing his eyes to meditate. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, lifted the curtain hanging on the carriage window, and shouted softly: "Tiger, come inside the carriage, I have something to ask you!"
"Xi Yu Yu!"
The horse that was pulling the carriage neighed a few times and stopped.
Dian Wei knew Wang Can's character and did not refuse. He directly reined in the horse, dismounted, and sat down in the carriage.
This guy was tall and thick, with a round waist and broad arms. Sitting in the carriage, he was like a hill. Fortunately, Wang Can's carriage was spacious enough, otherwise it would have been overcrowded for two people sitting in it. Dian Wei grinned.
He smiled, clasped his fists and said, "Lord, please call the general into the carriage. What's the matter?"
Wang Can asked: "Tiger, what do you think Zhou Cang should do?"
Zhou Cang?
When Dian Wei heard this, he was stunned and a little confused.
He said doubtfully: "My lord, Zhou Cang is in good health. I met him yesterday and saw him training soldiers in the school field. He is in good health. What can I do to arrange it?"
When Dian Wei spoke, Wang Can was extremely depressed.
This guy didn't understand what Wang Can meant, so he started talking nonsense.
Wang Can was very depressed, so he had to say carefully: "I know that Zhou Cang is in good health, and I also know that Zhou Cang is training soldiers in the military camp. But Zhou Cang is different from you. You are very skilled in martial arts. You have been following me on expeditions here and there, and you can also kill people."
The general will capture the flag and kill the enemy to perform meritorious service. Although Zhou Cang's martial arts is good, it is far behind Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu, Lu Meng, Huang Zhong and others. Moreover, Zhou Cang's military talents are also limited and cannot be as good as Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun.
Guarding one side. Zhou Cang’s ability is neither good nor bad, and it is difficult to arrange. This is what I want to say, do you understand?"
Dian Wei nodded heavily, understanding Wang Can's thoughts.
Zhou Cang was the first person to follow Wang Can, and Wang Can was unwilling to watch Zhou Cang go silent.
For other generals in the army, the selection of generals must be based on the survival law of the fittest in the army. But the relationship between Zhou Cang and Wang Can is unusual, especially since Pei Yuanshao died for Wang Can, leaving Wang Can with fewer subordinates.
Being the first person to follow made Wang Can attach great importance to Zhou Cang's arrangements.
Dian Wei thought for a while and finally shook his head.
He is a big boss. After thinking for a long time, he still has no solution.
Wang Can looked at Dian Wei's appearance and smiled. In fact, he had no intention of asking Dian Wei to come up with a specific solution. He just wanted Dian Wei to be a listener.
Suddenly, Dian Wei said: "My lord, the general has thought of an idea."
Wang Can was immediately overjoyed and said hurriedly: "If you come up with any ideas, please tell me."
Dian Wei said quickly: "Since it is difficult for Zhou Cang to arrange, let Zhou Cang train troops. Anyway, Zhou Cang is already in his thirties, so it is okay to let him be responsible for training troops!"
Training!!
Wang Can murmured and thought carefully.
He shook his head at first, because training soldiers is too common. If Zhou Cang is directly allowed to train soldiers, it is almost the same as being exiled. Why not take Zhou Cang with him to fight on the battlefield? In this way, it is better than training soldiers.
!But after Wang Can thought carefully, he felt that this method was feasible, as long as he made slight changes.
At this time, Dian Wei continued: "My lord, if it doesn't work, just put it in the martial arts academy and let Zhou Cang teach the students in the martial arts academy."
Wang Can shook his head and said firmly: "No, let's just train!"
At this moment, Dian Wei was confused.
Training?
He just said it casually, but he didn't expect Wang Can to take it seriously.
Dian Wei suddenly felt sorry for Zhou Cang and wanted to persuade Wang Can, but Wang Can said: "Tiger, you don't have to say anything, I have my own opinion. Regarding Zhou Cang's arrangement, I will not let anyone feel wronged. Don't worry."
.”
There was no words all the way. After Wang Can returned to the palace, he immediately sent someone to notify Zhou Cang to see him.
In the side hall, Wang Can was dressed casually, not in formal court uniform.
"Boom! Boom!"
The sound of steady footsteps came from outside the side hall. After Zhou Cang quickly walked into the main hall, he bowed respectfully to King Can and bowed: "General Zhou Cang, pay your respects to the lord!"
Wang Can waved his hand for Zhou Cang to sit down and said: "Sit down, I'm here to see you this time. I have something to discuss with you."
Zhou Cang cupped his fists and said, "Please tell me, Lord!"
Wang Can organized his speech and said slowly: "I came to you because of your position. With the expansion of power and the increase of civil and military officials, your role gradually weakened, and you were rarely the one to lead the troops in battle.
General. I know that you are worried about being marginalized, so you work hard to train soldiers and practice martial arts. I can understand your thoughts and I also know that you have concerns, so I asked you to come here today to talk about this matter.
.”
When Zhou Cang heard this, he suddenly felt very uneasy.
Wang Can is the dominant overlord, but talking about these things with him now makes Zhou Cang very uneasy.
Although Wang Can cared about Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang found it unbearable.
The huge disparity in status between the two sides made Zhou Cang feel so uneasy.
He stood up hurriedly, walked quickly to the center of the hall, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said loudly: "My lord, the last general is just like Pei Yuanshao. He will be loyal to the lord and serve the lord in this life. Even if the last general's ability is insufficient, the last general will be the same as Pei Yuanshao."
The general still has a little bit of ability, but he still has a lot of passion, and he still has a loyal heart. He can go into battle to kill the enemy and die for his lord!"
These words made Wang Can feel very uncomfortable.
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were the earliest people to follow him, and they were also the people who were absolutely loyal to him.
However, now there is one person missing.
We must share adversities together, and we must also enjoy blessings together!
Wang Can stood up from his seat, strode to Zhou Cang's side, slowly squatted down, stretched out his hands to help Zhou Cang, and said sincerely: "Zhou Cang, you and old Pei Zhong are very loyal to each other, I understand, I understand
!”
Zhou Cang immediately said: "In that case, my lord, please let me stay in the army!"
In fact, what Zhou Cang was afraid of was that Wang Can transferred him out of the army and left him idle. Although this was to let Zhou Cang enjoy the glory and wealth, what Zhou Cang wanted was not a comfortable life, but to be able to exert his energy.
This is Zhou Cang's heartfelt voice.
Wang Can took Zhou Cang's hand, nodded and said, "Don't worry, you are still working in the army and have something to do."
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Zhou Cang breathed a long sigh of relief and then relaxed. He rubbed his sore eyes and said, "My lord, the general was a little excited just now. Please forgive me."
Wang Can waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sit down, let's talk about this matter."
Zhou Cang returned to his seat and said, "My lord, please speak clearly!"
Wang Can said unhurriedly: "You are the first person to follow me. I can rest assured that you will do things. From today on, I will set up a separate veteran camp in the army, with you as the chief general. Your task is to serve in the army
Select elite veterans who are over forty but not over fifty, organize them all and put them under your command."
Zhou Cang immediately asked: "Lord, what will the general do after he selects the veterans?"
Wang Can replied: "Your mission is to train new recruits and turn them into veterans. This is also the origin of the name 'Veteran Camp', so that they can transition from recruits to veterans."
In fact, this is similar to the training for new recruits after joining the army.
Veterans train new recruits to adapt to the environment.
Wang Can paused for a moment, then continued: "The veteran camp has a wide range and will be established in each county under my rule. You first do things in Chengdu, and after you gain experience, you can spread out one by one. The final goal is
Every county must have veteran camps to train new recruits. This is also a way to solve the survival problem of veterans and give them something to do."
After Zhou Cang heard this, he immediately felt pressure.
It would be very easy and easy to just establish a veteran camp in Chengdu. But not only in Chengdu, not only in every county in Yizhou, but also in Liangzhou, Nanyang, and the places that Wang Can will occupy later, there will be veterans.
The construction of barracks. These matters need to be handled by Zhou Cang. Although it is not difficult, it is not simple either.
Once this is done, it will be an independent system.
As for Zhou Cang, he is the leader among them.
Zhou Cang said with some excitement: "Don't worry, my lord, the general will definitely form an elite veteran battalion and train the new recruits into veterans so that the new soldiers can fight and kill bravely."
Wang Can smiled and said; "There is a long way to go, so work hard!"
Zhou Cang clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I will retire at the end of the day!"
When Zhou Cang slowly walked out of the hall, Wang Can's voice came from inside the hall, saying very clearly: "Zhou Cang, although your abilities are limited, you must believe in yourself. You are the first to follow me.
People, I have fought, killed, and encountered failures together. I remember all these things and keep them firmly in my heart. I hope you can let go and do what you should do. As long as I am alive for one day, I will definitely protect you.
A lifetime of glory and wealth.”
Zhou Cang heard Wang Can's words and continued walking forward without looking back.
However, Zhou Cang's eyes were red and wet.
When he strode out of the hall, he looked up at the sky and murmured to himself: "Pei Heizi, our original decision was correct. We did not follow the wrong person. You left too early."
Ps: The fourth update is completed, call it a day. The update is a bit late, sorry.
