Wang Can agreed to Man Chong's suggestion, immediately called for Xun You, and told Xun You to prepare.
Then, Wang Can slowly took Man Chong to the military camp to watch.
Along the way, Wang Can and Man Chong chatted happily, without any embarrassment as before.
The carriage stopped outside the school grounds, and Wang Can and Man Chong entered the military camp one after another. But when Man Chong saw the situation in the military camp, he was very disappointed and asked depressedly: "King Shu, the army is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people like this."
, Without an elite division, how can we defend ourselves against foreign aggression once we encounter it?"
As far as the eye could see, there were all wounded soldiers with broken limbs and arms. There was not a single intact soldier.
Naturally, Wang Can asked Xun You to prepare this arrangement.
In fact, during an ordinary review, soldiers will definitely bring out all their elites to show a fierce and fearless momentum, to show strong strength, and to shock people. But Wang Can does not need it. His brilliant reputation is always on the battlefield.
Fighting is achieved by fighting, and it is not just about soldiers practicing in the army and being able to bluff people.
Now, all the people Wang Can brought out were old, weak, sick and disabled, which made Man Chong feel like he was seeing flowers in the fog.
The more he tried to figure it out, the less clear he could see.
Man Chong was a sensible person, and of course he would not think that the soldiers under Wang Can's command were all old, weak, sick and disabled. But these soldiers in front of him were all remnants, which was obviously to frustrate him.
What Wang Can did made Man Chong feel that Wang Can was elite and had top-secret weapons.
This made Man Chong even more jealous.
Wang Can glanced at Man Chong, then looked at the soldiers in the camp, and said with a smile: "Bo Ning, I conquered Xiliang some time ago, and not long ago I defeated Liu Bei, and suffered heavy losses. Although I won, all I brought back was
We are old, weak, sick and disabled. You are not a householder and don't know how valuable firewood and rice are. Don't spread the word to prevent other princes from attacking Yizhou."
After Man Chong heard this, he even thought that Wang Can was deliberately trying to make things up.
He smiled and nodded in agreement, but secretly scolded Wang Can for being as cunning as a fox, even hiding the training of soldiers.
In this way, Man Chong also lost the meaning of this trip.
He and Wang Can walked around, looked at the empty military camp, and expressed condolences to the wounded in the army. Then they asked Wang Can to leave the military camp, and then Man Chong returned to the post house.
In the bedroom, Man Chong frowned and looked solemn.
He went to Wang Can's military camp, originally wanting to see the training of Wang Can's soldiers, but he didn't expect that Wang Can was hiding him and didn't give him a chance to inquire about the situation.
"Boom! Boom!"
Outside the bedroom, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Man Chong shouted: "Come in!"
After the door opened, a middle-aged man wearing a brown robe walked in, bowed respectfully to Man Chong, then sat down under Man Chong, waiting for Man Chong's instructions.
Man Chong asked: "You have been staying in Chengdu, have you ever found out about the weapons?"
Man Chong knew about the Han knives used by Shu soldiers.
Inquiring into the situation of Han Dao was one of Man Chong's missions this time.
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand to scratch his head and said: "Sir, Wang Can protects the forging of weapons very strictly and uses heavy troops to guard it. Even if there are many of us staying in Chengdu, we can't grasp the situation. We stay in Chengdu and can only inquire.
What happened recently and confidential matters are completely out of reach. Because of this, Wang Can acquiesced to our existence and did not send anyone to clean up."
After listening to this, Man Chong sighed.
Man Chong was very afraid of Wang Can's ability.
Man Chong believed in his heart that Cao Cao's biggest enemy was Wang Can. Only by destroying Wang Can could Cao Cao have a chance to unify the world. Otherwise, Wang Can would destroy Cao Cao and then unify the world.
Man Chong paid little attention to the man in Jiangdong and Liu Bei who fled in embarrassment.
Man Chong thought about it for a moment and then asked: "Is it possible to bribe the craftsmen and bring them back to Yanzhou?"
The middle-aged man still shook his head and said: "Sir, we have tried these things before, but they don't work at all. All the craftsmen are protected, and they live and eat in the place where the weapons are forged. It is difficult to start. The most important thing is that we
Once people approach the forbidden area where weapons are forged, they will be immediately counterattacked. Not only the people who go to inquire about the information will be hit, but the rest of the people who did not participate will also be hit. This happened more than once or twice, and we also
I have given up hope."
After Man Chong heard this, his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".
Things are too tricky.
Although he learned a lot about the situation during this trip, he didn't get any of Yizhou's secrets. Man Chong felt irritable and helplessly waved his hand, asking the middle-aged man to retreat.
Early the next morning, Man Chong resigned from Wang Can, left Chengdu with his soldiers, and set off back.
After Man Chong left, Wang Can prepared to summon Gan and Mi.
But when Wang Can was about to give the order, Cheng Yu asked for an audience outside the hall. In desperation, Wang Can had no choice but to give up summoning Mi and Gan and asked Cheng Yu to be invited in.
After Cheng Yu entered the palace, he bowed respectfully: "I am a humble official, Cheng Yu, and I have met my lord."
Wang Can asked Cheng Yu to sit down and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhong De, why are you here?"
After Cheng Yu sat down, he raised his hands and asked, "May I ask, my lord, if you are prepared to accept the Mi family and the Gan family as your concubines?"
Wang Can nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant!"
In fact, Gan and Mi first became Cao Cao's prisoners, and now they were sent to Wang Can. Even if Wang Can showed mercy and returned Gan and Mi to Liu Bei, the identities of the two women were also very different.
Embarrassing, first Cao Cao, then Wang Can, Mi and Gan said they were innocent, would Liu Bei believe it?
The answer is obviously no!
Instead of doing this, Wang Can might as well be more domineering and accept it directly.
Cheng Yu said sternly: "Logically speaking, Yu shouldn't get involved or interfere in my lord's family affairs. However, my lord's affairs involve the fundamentals of the Kingdom of Shu, but Yu has to say it. Please forgive me, lord."
Wang Can blinked, did Cheng Yu want to stop it?
However, Wang Can still asked calmly: "It's okay for Mr. Zhong De to speak frankly!"
Cheng Yu said: "My lord is in the prime of life in the Spring and Autumn Period, but there are only three princesses in the palace, and he only has two sons and one daughter, and the number of heirs is not good. Therefore, Yu kindly asks the lord to recruit more concubines and have enough concubines to expand the harem."
Ye, there are enough heirs for the Wang family." In fact, even Cheng Yu himself has more than three wives and concubines, and Wang Can is indeed too few, so Cheng Yu came to suggest it.
After Wang Can heard this, he was stunned.
He thought that Cheng Yu was admonishing him to stop him from taking over the Mi family and the Gan family, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yu was advising him to find more women.
Such excellent quality is really rare.
Wang Can shook his head and said: "Gong Zhongde, including the Gan family and the Mi family, there are already five people in the palace. Although there are few now, they will definitely increase in the future. The number of people will gradually increase, and the number of heirs will gradually increase."
Exuberant, don’t worry.”
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "My lord doesn't want to accept more concubines, so just add one more, okay?"
Wang Can immediately asked: "Who?"
Cheng Yu replied: "Wu Ran (xian)!"
Wang Can was confused and asked: "Who is Wu Ran?"
Cheng Yu explained: "Wu Ran is the sister of the surrendered general Wu Yi and the wife of Liu Hao. Wu Yi is a general who followed Liu Yan to Shu in his early years. He has deep roots in Yizhou. If the lord marries Wu Ran, he will definitely be able to win over her further.
The gentry in Yizhou. Although the lord appointed Ren An as the Minister of Rites, he still needed to go one step further. Therefore, accepting Wu Ran as his concubine would not only win over the gentry in Yizhou, but also stabilize the minds of general Liu Yan. Moreover, Wu Ran was charming and exquisite.
The beauty of the country makes her qualified to be the lord’s concubine!”
After listening to this, Wang Can finally understood who Wu Ran was.
Wang Can has never heard of Wu Ran's name, but Wang Can knows Wu Ran's identity.
Historically, Wu Ran was Liu Hao's wife first, but unfortunately Liu Hao was still on the sick bed. Liu Hao died a few months after the marriage, and Wu Yuan also became a widow.
Later, Wu Ran married Liu Bei and became Liu Bei's queen.
But Wang Can didn't expect that Cheng Yu would bring him up and make Wu Ran his concubine.
Wu Ran, Gan and Mi Huan are all Liu Bei's wives, and Wang Can has them all. It can be said that he has won Liu Bei's current and future wives. Wang Can laughed in his heart, nodded and said:
"Gong Zhongde is highly respected, so I will leave this matter to Gong Zhongde. But does Wu Ran agree?"
Cheng Yu said matter-of-factly: "The eldest brother is the father. As long as Wu Yi agrees, Wu Ran will have no problem."
When Wang Can heard this, he immediately laughed.
Wu Yi always wanted to climb his big tree, so how could he disagree?
He must have captured Liu Bei's three women.
