I said, "It's well said! The so-called protection of heaven and Gods, but Gods do not forgive me, are just means to fool the people and cannot believe it. It's just that a good man stands in the world and should do something for the country and the people. It's not in vain to come to this world for a while. How can he be willing to be a thief in the river and become a brute-goer who oppresses good people?"

When Gan Ning heard my words, he was furious and said, "So what if it is a bandit? Gan robbed the rich and helped the poor, and did a chivalrous act. He asked himself that he would be hundreds of times stronger than you disciples of the emperor and the officials of the court."

When I heard Gan Ning's words, I knew that he was a man of blood and strong temperament, and could not tolerate any sand in his eyes. So I said, "Since that's the case, why did the general take advantage of the time when the rice in Yuzhang was first ripe? Why didn't he steal food?"

Gan Ning was speechless when I asked, her face turned red, and she couldn't help but shout: "Don't be clever and mean. I, Gan Ning, defeated you today, and I have nothing to say. When I return to Jiangxia, I will fight to the death with you."

I laughed and said in a deep voice: "I heard people talk about Gan Ning's ability before, thinking that it must be a hero of the world. After fighting today, I realized that he was just a reckless man, and he had a false reputation, just like a pig-killing butcher in a street market!"

Gan Ning is a handsome man and has a very high opinion of himself. Today, I am repeatedly inspired by my words and suddenly become extremely angry. The crescent halberd in my hand accumulates strength and exerts strength to fight me again.

Seeing that Gan Ning had been angry, I knew that if I couldn't explain the reason, Gan Ning would definitely be dissatisfied and said, "Then Huang Zuzi She has always had a disagreement with the general. If you return from your defeat, Huang Zu will harm you. It is still unknown whether you can save your life. How can you fight with me again?"

When Gan Ning heard what I said, his anger gradually subsided, and his face was skeptical. My words obviously touched his pain. It was not his intention to attack Yu Zhang this time. It was probably caused by the instigation of Grandpa Huang and his son.

Gan Ning pondered and said, "Even so, you kill my athletes and destroy my boat. This hatred is irreconcilable. When I am Gan Ning wins other places, I will be scheming with you again!"

I heard that Gan Ning's tone was not as firm as before, so I pointed to the river in the distance and said, "The general's personal guard is still trapped in the river, and the Jinfan flagship she was riding is basically intact. Most of the people killed by our army this time were Huang Zu's soldiers. I respect General is a man. If you insist on going back to die, I will not stop you, but I am just sad for those soldiers who believe in the general!"

Gan Ning followed my gesture and saw the handsome flag with the word "Gan" fluttering in the fire. The flagship was still docked in the river. I thought it was the Jinyi personal guard who was still fighting hard.

I saw Gan Ning's expression and was a little moved, so I said again: "For generals, we should choose a wise ruler and share with each other. Then Huang Zu is a person of no righteousness. How can he know the bravery of the general? In this battle, he has already known the heroic martial arts of the general and cherishes the talents of the general. If the general does not abandon him, he sincerely invites the general to join in righteousness and make great achievements together!"

Gan Ning was originally saddened by the casualties of his soldiers. At this time, he realized that he was fine after hearing what I said. His mind was a little calmer and his anger gradually calmed down.

I said, "If the general doesn't believe it, you can take a boat to see what's going on. I will let my soldiers not stop me."

Seeing that I was sincere and didn't seem to be panic, Gan Ning jumped over, snatched an empty boat, and urged his internal force to lean towards Mengchong's flagship. When I saw Gan Ning boarding the boat, I immediately ordered the soldiers around him to retreat. If Gan Ning really wanted to leave, with his ability, even if I really sent troops to stop him, I might not be able to take him down, and it would hurt more soldiers, which was not cost-effective.

It’s better to be generous and make a favor.

Although I won this battle, it is really surprising that the enemy's combat effectiveness is so tenacious. As the saying goes, killing 10,000 enemies will hurt 3,000 yourself. If the casualties are too great, the troops supporting the battlefield on Fanyang on the Eastern Front may not be enough.

"Look, the enemy's flag has fallen!" A soldier shouted wildly, and then there was a deafening cry. I jumped onto a light boat, and like the soldiers around me, enjoying the joy and joy of being the winner.

After Gan Ning was convinced that his personal guards were basically uninjured, he finally led his army to surrender.

When I stepped on Gan Ning's flagship, I saw a pair of hostile gazes. However, Gan Ning extended his hand to me. I knew that to completely convince Gan Ning and his subordinates, I had to show greater ability.

After all, compared with Liu Biao and Sun Ce, Yuzhang County is too small.

Hua Xin on the shore was directing the treatment of the wounded. I walked up and asked about the casualties of our army, but it almost suffocated me.

Among the 7,500 soldiers who participated in the war, Xu Jing's army finally joined, with more than 5,000 troops stationed, with few casualties, less than 20 people killed, and only about 300 injured. Among the 2,000 regular troops of Huaxin's army, one of them fought against the enemy troops that broke into the shore, with great casualties, with 110 people killed and 400 injured. What made me most sad was the 500 elite troops who followed me to assault. After the battle, less than 200 people remained, and most of the rest were not in the formation. Only one warship was still available, and the rest were all sunk. Fortunately, except for the seven Mengchong ships, which were severely damaged by fire, the other three Mengchong and half of the fighting ships, the scout ships were intact and could still be used.

In terms of the enemy, among the 2,000 people who invaded this time, in addition to more than 200 Jinyi Guards from Ganning surrendered with Ganning, more than 800 people who put down their weapons on the battlefield, were killed in battle, drowned or burned to death by fire.

...

On August 12, the moon shines, and the rain is pouring, covering the waters of Poyang Lake. In the rain and fog, Gan Ning and I led 400 elite soldiers to take the ten remaining warships to the south and head straight to Fanyang.

The battle situation on the Eastern Front was as dangerous as Sun Ce's army's fierce attack. At the beginning of the war, Liu Ye used a suspicious plan to command the army to station troops and advance eastward, creating the illusion that our army's main force reinforced the Eastern Front. Sun Benxin was already true. After the army arrived at the periphery of Fanyang on August 5, it did not rashly go deeper, but instead fought steadily and advanced step by step.

Since Sun Ben had not yet figured out our background, when Taishi Ci and Liu Ye arrived in Fanyang, they were still able to confront Sun Ben and Zhou Yu's army at first.

However, Liu Ye's plan could not be deceived by Zhou Yu. Three days later, Zhou Yu led a thousand people from his headquarters to raid our army camp at night. Zhou Yu's army was accustomed to night battles and had great experience in the enemy. As soon as he entered our camp, he rushed to the main tent, cutting off Taishi Ci and Liu Ye's connection with all sides. The army stationed troops who lacked defense experience suddenly became disorganized. When he heard the shouts of killing, he mistakenly thought that Sun Ce's army had captured the camp and was defeated immediately.

Taishi Ci led 500 personal soldiers to protect Liu Ye and struggled to break through the siege. When Sun Ben saw Taishi Ci's defeat, he also took advantage of the opportunity to fight. On the way from Fanyang to Shangliao, Taishi Ci lost consecutive battles until he reached Shangliao. Only when he reached Shangliao did he stabilize his position. After counting the number of people, the previous team was only about 3,000 left, and most of the others became prisoners of Sun Ce's army.

Fortunately, Shangliao is easy to defend but difficult to attack, the city is deep and solid, and the local clans raised troops to support each other again. Only then did Taishi Ci barely defend the city. Now, on the front line of a hundred-mile long from Fanyang to Shangliao, Fanyang has been surrounded by 4,000 Sun Ben's army. Fanyang Order Zheng Hun only had 700 troops stationed in his hands. It was extremely difficult to hold on until now. If there were no reinforcements, Fanyang might only fall in one or two days. Shangliao, Zhou Yu was leading the victorious army to camp at the city, and the two sides formed a new round of confrontation.

Judging from the situation of the war, Sun Ce's army was like a giant axe, embedded directly into the hinterland of Yuzhang, and Shangliao was the sharpest blade on this axe. If Shangliao was lost, Sun Ce's army could cut off the north and south passage of our army, and use this as a basis to attack Yuzhang in the south, take Haihun, and take Pengze in the north. Zhou Yu probably also saw the importance of Shangliao. Then, while besieging the city, he organized surrendered soldiers to accumulate food and grass to make a long-term plan to siege the city. The rice in Fanyang area of ​​Shangliao was probably captured by Sun Ben and Zhou Yu's army.

I stood at the bow of Mengchong's ship, letting the wind and rain fall on my body, wet my clothes, but I can't relieve my troubles. I just got rid of the Western Front War and I had to face a more severe test.

Sun Tzu said: Anyone who fights is in harmony and wins with wonders. Therefore, those who are good at making wonders are infinite as heaven and earth, and are endless as rivers and seas. They are reunited and reunited in the end, and they are invincible. Now the enemy is strong and I am weak. If I want to win, I must be in danger.

Gan Ning walked out of the cabin and stood beside me. I asked, "Are all the soldiers resting?"

Gan Ning smiled and replied, "I have all fallen asleep, they are no different from dead pigs."

After the fierce battle, I should have had a good rest and recovered from fatigue, but now the war on the Eastern Front is in a tight position, and I can only give them a short day.

It was the day when this boat was sailing on Poyang Lake.

Therefore, time is extremely precious for every soldier. Only by cultivating enough energy can we have the strength to go into battle and kill the enemy.

Gan Ning asked, "Shang Liao is the throat of Yuzhang. If it is lost, our army will be divided by the enemy from north to south, which is extremely unfavorable. Why didn't our army go up to Shang Liao and go to Fanyang this time?"

I said, "Although Shangliao is heavy, there is no worries. I am responsible for Ziyi, Ziyang can defend him. If Zhou Yu has the ability to attack the city, why should he store grain to prepare for war for a long-term plan? Although Fanyang is a small city, it is the key to Sun Ce's army's advance and retreat. Sun Ben attacked him with four thousand people, which shows the importance of Fanyang. Zheng Hun was trapped in the city and was besieged by several times of the enemy. Now the news from Fanyang and outside the city has been cut off. If there is no rescue, I am afraid Fanyang will be in danger!"

Gan Ning nodded, and a strange look appeared in my eyes.

I think I am surprised that I am so mature and scrupulous at my age.

This time, I rushed to the rescue without using all the remaining main forces, but mobilized the 200 elite troops surviving Pengzekou, plus Ganning's Jinyiwei, a total of 400 people as reinforcements. At the same time, Hua Xin, as my order, is now leading the remaining troops from Pengze and heading up by land.

Meng Chong was walking on the river, and the bow of the boat slapped the waves, making a "bumping" sound. It only takes one day to go straight to Fanyang by water. If you are lucky enough to take the land, it will take three days at the fastest.

Looking at the vague lake shore in the distance, I knew that Fanyang was right in front of me. At this time, Sun Ben probably never dreamed that our army would appear so soon, and a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

As the army was in danger, Sun Ben would never have expected our army to withdraw from the Western Front battlefield so quickly and not rescue Shang Liao, but attack Fanyang. The so-called strange ones were unexpected and unprepared to attack the enemy. To solve the crisis on the Eastern Front, they were in the battle of Fanyang. When they arrived outside Fanyang City, it was the hour of You, and the smoke was curling in Sun Ben's camp. It was Sun Ben's soldiers preparing supper. It seemed that Sun Ben did not expect our army to arrive.

I turned around and looked at the soldiers behind me. Their faces were wet with rain and they could not see their expressions. In this battle, I was 400 against 4,000, and the enemy was ten times more than me. If I want to win, I should have the confidence to win.

I stared at it for a while, then turned to Gan Ning and said, "General Gan, are you interested in competing with me again?"

When Gan Ning heard this, he shouted: "Why are you not interested? You and I did not decide the outcome in the previous episode. I was unwilling to accept it. I was just looking for an opportunity to compete again, but I don't know how to compare the method?"

I said, "How about this? You and I will lead two hundred soldiers from each of them to enter from the left and right gates. Which way can we reach the enemy's main tent first and kill Sun Ben, which is the winner?"

Gan Ning laughed and said, "I will definitely win by comparing this method."

I said, "General, don't be arrogant. The outcome is unknown?"

Gan Ningxiang didn't hear me and asked confidently: "I won, what reward do you have?"

I smiled and said, "If the general wins, all the Yuzhang naval troops will be under the control of the general. In addition, all the soldiers who follow you will be rewarded. How about it?"

Gan Ning replied loudly: "A word is determined, my boys, you all hear it clearly. Let me kill the enemy!" After that, he urged the horse to fight, and before I could answer, he would first kill Sun Ben's army. Behind him, two hundred personal guards in the Jinyi followed closely like yellow whirlwinds.

I knew that Gan Ning was not valued by Huang Zu, and I was very depressed. This time it was Gan Ning's first battle after he became effective. I promised it with my actual official position. In comparison with Gan Ning, I would be moved.

Seeing Gan Ning taking the lead in killing, I stopped neglecting it, and grabbed it with a snare in my hand, pointed at the sky, shouting: "Kill!"

It has been surrounded by Fanyang City for more than ten days. Zheng Hun had to defend the city because he had few soldiers. Seeing that our army did not dare to fight and there was no sign of reinforcements, the soldiers relaxed their vigilance in their minds. In addition to the raindrops on this day, the tent of Sun Ben's army was full of water. Except for the patrol guarding the gate, the soldiers hid in the tent to shelter from the rain.

With the cover of rain and fog, our army successfully entered the Zuoying Gate. It was not until a hundred meters before the patrolling guards were discovered and shouting. When the Sun Ben soldiers heard the shouts, they ran out of the tent with swords and guns.

Although Sun Ben's army was numerous, they had no response and cover for each other in a hurry. The scattered soldiers were not the opponent of our army, who was in full swing. The camp was penetrated by Gan Ning and our army, and there was a sudden chaos.
