Wang Can was horrified, with an expression of astonishment on his face.
However, Huang Chengyan could not detect the expression on Wang Can's face, because Wang Can also wore a ghost mask on his face, blocking Huang Chengyan's sight, so that Huang Chengyan could not see clearly.
In the thatched cottage, it became quiet for a while.
Huang Chengyan sat casually, with a look of wisdom on his face.
Wang Can sat cross-legged, thinking about the strength comparison between Shu and Chu.
Neither of them spoke, only the faint sound of breathing could be heard, as if everything was silent at this moment.
Suddenly, Wang Can thought of what Huang Chengyan had just said. He thought about it carefully, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he figured out the possibility. Just now, Wang Can was disturbed by Huang Chengyan's tone and the result of what he said, but he didn't.
I went to think about what Huang Chengyan said, so I fell into a dead end.
The Chu army was defeated by the Shu army, but it was able to defend Jingzhou.
Why?
There was obviously foreign aid, otherwise the Chu army would not have been able to defend Jingzhou.
Wang Can thought it through, laughed loudly, and then bowed his hands in thanks and said: "Thank you Mr. Huang for the tip. I will send the news back to Yizhou and inform the King of Shu."
Huang Chengyan raised his hands and said, "You are really good at this step. You can guess what's going on."
Wang Can raised his hand and said: "Thank you!"
After a pause, Wang Can continued: "I think the situation mentioned by Mr. Huang is not scary. What should Cao Cao and Sun Jian be afraid of? The Kingdom of Shu was once besieged by the five great princes: Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu, but they could
They were as stable as a mountain and defeated them one by one, which shows how powerful the Shu Kingdom is. Now it is just Cao Cao, Liu Biao and Sun Jian who are sending troops. I think it is difficult to be the leader of the Shu army. Mr. Huang, don't you really want to plan for the Huang family?"
Huang Chengyan shook his head and said: "If I wanted the Huang family to go further, I would have become an official long ago. How could I travel around the world?"
Wang Can frowned and sighed: "So, Mr. Huang is not going to cooperate with us?"
Huang Chengyan nodded and said immediately: "Although I am not cooperative, I came to see you for something."
Wang Can asked hurriedly: "Mr. Huang came to the appointment, does he want to meet a certain family, or does he want to ask about Miss Huang's situation in Chengdu?"
Huang Chengyan smiled and said: "It's both the situations you mentioned, but there's one more thing!"
Wang Can cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Huang, please speak clearly."
Huang Chengyan said seriously: "I came to see you. Firstly, I want to see who is in charge of Jingzhou's affairs. Unfortunately, you are wearing a ghost mask, so I can't know. Secondly, I want to ask about Yueying's situation.
It's a pity that you have been staying in Jingzhou; thirdly, I want to show my attitude, which is the attitude of the Huang family. When the Shu army attacks the city, the Huang family will not intervene to resist it, but after the Shu army breaks the city, the Huang family will not surrender and will always do so.
Maintaining a neutral posture does not belong to Liu Biao nor to Shu."
Wang Can chuckled and said: "Miss Huang is in Chengdu, doesn't she represent the Huang family?"
Huang Chengyan shook his head and said: "My daughter will get married after all, and the one who gets married should be thrown away. She only represents the husband she will marry in the future, not the Huang family. Yueying is Yueying, and the Huang family is the Huang family. They cannot be confused.
"
His tone was firm, leaving no room for doubt.
This is Huang Chengyan's attitude.
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "In that case, please go back to Mr. Huang. But I also hope that Mr. Huang can change his mind and make plans for the Huang family and the Kingdom of Shu. After all, Miss Huang is in Chengdu and will marry someone from the Kingdom of Shu in the future.
, but they are from Shu."
Huang Chengyan shook his head and chuckled, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Farewell!"
After finishing speaking, Huang Chengyan strode away.
When Huang Chengyan came to Lumen Mountain for an appointment, the most important thing was to show the neutral attitude of the Huang family, neither helping Liu Biao nor Wang Can. Only in this way can the Huang family be unaffected and stand as stable as Mount Tai. Perhaps helping Wang Can can benefit
, but living on a knife's edge is not in line with Huang Chengyan's ideas.
At this time, there is no fight but fight!
Cai Ya and Huang Yueying are in Chengdu, and the Huang family will not decline after all.
When Huang Chengyan left the thatched cottage, Shi A covered Huang Chengyan's eyes and sent Huang Chengyan down the mountain.
In the thatched cottage, Wang Can sat alone, with a look of regret on his face.
If Huang Chengyan can be pulled on board, it will be a big help. However, Huang Chengyan neither joins Liu Biao nor Shu, which is a good thing. There is one less enemy and one more friend. Wang Can collects Shi'a
The information that had come up began to be screened one by one again. If you want to dismantle Liu Biao's internal strength, you have to think slowly and work slowly to get the details out.
"Tap! Tread!"
Outside the thatched cottage, steady footsteps could be heard.
Shi A and Dian Wei came hand in hand and bowed to Wang Can.
Dian Wei had always been hiding in the dark and had no idea of the conversation. He hurriedly asked: "My lord, how is your conversation with Huang Chengyan going? Is he willing to surrender to my lord?"
Shi A is also very concerned about this topic and is waiting for Wang Can's answer.
Wang Can asked the two of them to sit down, shook his head and said, "Huang Chengyan is an old man and has not gotten involved."
Shi A's expression turned cold, and he immediately suggested: "In that case, let's do something ruthless, seize Huang Chengyan's family, and threaten him to submit. We won't be afraid that Huang Chengyan will not agree."
Wang Can said coldly: "If Huang Chengyan is pushed into a hurry and he goes directly to tell Liu Biao regardless of the life and death of his family, wouldn't we be in danger? Huang Chengyan has already said that he will remain neutral and will neither surrender to Liu Biao nor to us. That's the case.
If there is one less enemy, our situation will be better, so don't worry about it."
Dian Wei asked again: "My lord, we have found out where Zhuge Liang lives. When will you go to see him?"
Wang Can thought for a while and said: "Let's do business first, and after we finish dealing with the affairs in Jingzhou, we can go to visit Zhuge Liang together."
Shi A then asked: "Lord, if Huang Chengyan can't do it, which company should we notify next?"
Wang Can picked up the information collected by Shi A and said: "The information you collected covers the general situation of the eight major families in Jingzhou, namely the Yang family, the Kuai family, the Cai family, the Xi family, the Pang family, the Ma family, the Huang family, and the Xiang family. But
It's too rough. Send an order to Wu Huang and ask him to immediately investigate the specific information of the Yang family, Xi family, Ma family and Xiang family. We will start with these four families. As for the Kuai family, Cai family, Pang family and Huang family,
These four major families have deep roots and flourish, so we will ignore them for the time being."
"promise!"
Shi A nodded and wrote down Wang Can's order.
In the afternoon, Shi A brought the news back.
Although the situation in Shuchu was tense and Xiangyang City was heavily defended, the people in the Hero Building were ordinary people, and their movements did not attract attention.
After Wu Huang collected the information, he sent people to Lumen Mountain.
Wang Can carefully read the information on the four major families collected by Wu Huang and analyzed them one by one.
Among the four major families of Xiang, Ma, Yang, and Xi, the Xiang family has Xiang Lang as the head of the family. However, this man was released as an official and was appointed by Liu Biao as the head of Linju. If someone in the family is an official, the Xiang family is also powerful.
.
Among the Yang family, Yang Yi is young and talented, and is very outstanding. Yang Yi's elder brother Yang Lu is a model figure of the Yang family because of his high virtues. He is called the "virtuous Yang Jun", which shows his great reputation. The Yang family is very famous.
The reputation and influence are not weaker than the Pang family and the Kuai family, but no one in the family is an official, and the power is not as good as the Kuai family and the Cai family.
The Ma family is also a large family in Jingxiang. The Ma family has five sons, all of whom are young and intelligent and well-known in the countryside. Among the five Ma family members, Ma Liang is the most famous one because he was born with white hair on his eyebrows. But even so, Ma Liang is only thirteen years old now.
He is underage, and the rest of the brothers are all in their early teens. Even if the five of them are extremely talented, they cannot support the family, and they are a weak clan.
Among the Xi clan, Xi Zhen is the most powerful.
This man is in his early twenties, but has not yet become an official, and is struggling to support the entire Xi family. Even though the Xi family has inextricable connections with other families, they are as weak as the Ma family.
After reading the information on the four major families of Xiang, Yang, Ma and Xi, Wang Can finally set his target on the Ma family.
There is no other reason for this, because the five sons of the Ma family are all very smart and are still in school, so they need a good environment. In the past, wasn't it just for the sake of her sons that Meng's mother moved three times? For the future of the five sons of the Ma family, Wang Can believed in the Ma family.
It is the easiest to persuade among the four major families, and this is Wang Can's opportunity to get involved.
Next is the Xi family, and finally the Yang family and the Xiang family.
With the goal in mind, Wang Can immediately started taking action.
At that moment, Wang Can called Shi A in and told Shi A to deliver the message.
While Wang Can took advantage of the relationship with Heroes Building to move extensively in Jingzhou, the envoys sent by Liu Biao to Jiangdong had already arrived in Wu County and were about to meet Sun Jian and ask for help from Sun Jian.
