After Liu Bei met Liu Biao, he stayed at Yiji Mansion.
The next day, Longzhong.
A man came outside the thatched cottage. He was wearing a soap cloth robe, a scarf on his head, a sword hanging from his waist, sword-shaped eyebrows, and three long beards. He was handsome and handsome. He rode a thin donkey and drove slowly. , carefree and at ease, exuding a feeling of ecstasy. This person is Cui Jun and Cui Zhouping who are hiding in Xiangyang. He tied the thin donkey outside the thatched cottage, walked to the door, and shouted: "Is Kong Ming a mixed family?"
After the voice fell, the boy opened the door and said with a smile: "Mr. Cui, please come inside."
In the thatched cottage, Sun Qian and Zhuge Liang were drinking tea.
Zhuge Liang and Sun Qian were relieved when they learned that Liu Bei had successfully persuaded Liu Biao. Even though Zhuge Liang was sure that Liu Bei would succeed, he was still a little uneasy. Only after the news was confirmed could he feel completely relieved.
"Kong Ming, Gongyou, you two feel so at ease!"
After Cui Zhouping walked in, he flicked his sleeves and sat down carelessly. Zhuge Liang was introduced to Sun Qian by Cui Zhouping. The three of them had contacts and had a good relationship.
Zhuge Liang joked: "Zhou Ping, you spend all your time traveling around the mountains and rivers. Who can compare with you?"
Sun Qian sighed: "It would be great if Mr. Cui could assist the lord."
Cui Zhouping waved his hands repeatedly, shook his head and said: "I have no intention of becoming an official. It's not interesting at all for you to kill here and there. It's better to play in the mountains, that's more fun."
Zhuge Liang asked: "You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. What do you want to do today?"
Cui Zhouping pretended to be mysterious and said seriously: "Let me tell you, I discovered something extremely important yesterday. Especially this matter is very important to you. If we don't have a good relationship, I will never reveal it."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and asked, "Oh, what on earth is going on?"
Sun Qian sat upright and asked seriously: "Mr. Cui, what did you discover?"
Cui Zhouping whispered: "I discovered Wang Can's whereabouts!"
"ah!!"
When Zhuge Liang and Sun Qian heard this, they exclaimed at the same time, with incredible expressions on their faces.
Zhuge Liang quickly regained his composure, thought carefully, and then said, stroking his hands: "Yes, yes, if Wang Can hadn't taken action, how could he have revealed the information about his lord and led his men to intercept and kill nearly a hundred Chu soldiers cleanly?" Soldier. I have never been able to determine who it is. Now that you tell me, I finally understand."
Sun Qian opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Wang Can is too bold. He sneaked into Xiangyang alone. He is so bold. It's awesome, it's really awesome."
Zhuge Liang sighed: "As expected of the King of Shu, he can do such things."
A cold light flashed in his eyes, knowing that Wang Can was in Xiangyang, things would be much easier to handle.
Sun Qian asked: "Mr. Cui, where did you find traces of Wang Can?"
Cui Zhouping said with a smile: "Actually, I discovered it accidentally. Yesterday, I was passing by Lumen Mountain and suddenly saw a group of people running quickly towards Lumen Mountain. This group of people were wearing black clothes and holding steel knives and bows and arrows. , and his face was covered with black cloth, making him look mysterious."
Zhuge Liang asked: "Since their faces are covered, how do you confirm their identities?"
Cui Zhouping chuckled and said: "Of course I didn't know about it at first, and I didn't dare to ask. After I found the man in black, I hid directly and observed in secret. When they rushed into the forest, I found that one of them actually pulled a The black cloth fell off his face. As it happens, I know the person who pulled the black cloth off."
Sun Qian immediately asked: "Mr. Cui, is this Wang Can?"
Zhuge Liang looked at Cui Zhouping and felt that it couldn't be Wang Can, otherwise this guy wouldn't have betrayed him.
Cui Zhouping smiled proudly, shook his head and said: "Gongyou, you are wrong, it is not Wang Can, but Dian Wei, Wang Can's personal guard. In the past, Wang Can came to Jingzhou to form an alliance with Liu Biao. I met Wang Can and Dian Wei in Lumen Mountain. Wei, so I immediately recognized Dian Wei. Now that Dian Wei appears in Lumen Mountain, Wang Can must also be in the mountain."
"His! His!"
After hearing this, Sun Qian took a few deep breaths, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Wang Can's hiding place is discovered, and there is a chance to encircle and suppress him in one fell swoop.
Sun Qian turned his eyes and found that Zhuge Liang's calm expression also concealed excitement. He had obviously encountered a huge opportunity. Although Wang Can had children, they were all too young and they were all underage. Once Wang Can was killed, the Kingdom of Shu might collapse instantly, so Zhuge Liang couldn't help but get excited.
In Zhuge Liang's plan, Wang Can is the most powerful and difficult to defeat. Only by combining the power of all the princes in the world can Wang Can be defeated. But now there is a huge opportunity.
Killed Wang Can and forced civil strife in Shu.
Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and said, "Zhou Ping, thank you very much for this."
Sun Qian also paid his respects: "Mr. Cui, you first recommended the military advisor, and now you provide such important information. Thank you very much. Please pay your respects to Sun Qian."
Cui Zhouping did not refuse and accepted directly.
This news was so important that Sun Qian and Zhuge Liang both bowed to express their thanks.
Cui Zhouping took two sips of tea, waved his hand and said: "I have delivered the message, and I have left to go sightseeing. Helping you this time has gone against my original intention. Alas, who made you my friends? ?”
After finishing speaking, Cui Zhouping drifted away.
He leaves just as quickly as he comes.
After Cui Zhouping left, Zhuge Liang said: "Gongyou, now we have an excellent opportunity, we must seize it. If this thing is successful, the Kingdom of Shu will no longer be monolithic, and my lord will also have the opportunity to march westward to Bashu."
Sun Qian smiled bitterly and said: "The opportunity is good, but we don't have enough troops. We can only dispatch more than a hundred soldiers, and we have to leave more than a hundred soldiers to protect the lord. We don't have enough manpower, so we can't take down Wang Can."
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Who said we have to do it ourselves to kill Wang Can? We have too few troops, so we have to let Liu Biao take action. In addition, Lumen Mountain is very big, and spring has already begun, and the trees in the mountain are lush and leafy. , it is easy to hide, and without enough troops, it is impossible to destroy Wang Can. The top priority is to encourage Liu Biao and let him use troops to surround Wang Can."
Sun Qian clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's set off and go to Xiangyang immediately."
"Wait!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan to stop Sun Qian.
"Military advisor, is there anything else?" Sun Qian asked.
Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "My lord was intercepted and killed by Wang Can when he went to Xiangyang. We must be careful when we go to Xiangyang. Now when we go to Xiangyang, we will bring out all the 200 elite soldiers that the lord brought back and let one hundred of them be matched." Crossbows and bows, and let another hundred soldiers accompany us for protection. In this way, even if Wang Can blocks us, we can delay the attack until the soldiers from Xiangyang City come to kill us, and then we can safely reach Xiangyang."
Sun Qian said seriously: "What the military advisor said makes sense, I will make arrangements right away."
A quarter of an hour later, Zhuge Liang and Sun Qian left the thatched cottage and headed towards Xiangyang City.
