Chapter 59: Dog, Female, Tiger Son

The flood flooded the inside and outside of Fancheng for a while, but it was difficult to accumulate water with such ordinary outer high walls. The soil quality, gaps under the wall and other factors would gradually flow away from the surroundings. The scene of flooding the city of Fancheng was also relieved overnight. Three days later, the flood receded and the inside and outside of Fancheng became a depression.

People in the city are searching for lost things on the bumpy streets, and may also cry for funerals.

Cao Ren and Man Chong came to the military camp in the city, looking in disarray, holding weapons and armor soaked in the flood, Cao Ren felt heartbroken.

Many leather armors were soaked in heavy water and swollen and cracked, and obviously became vulnerable.

Compared to the soldiers' equipment being destroyed by the flood, Cao Ren and Man Chong were even more anxious that the food stored in the city was also destroyed by the flood.

Although Man Chong ordered the soldiers to go to the granary to rescue him as soon as the flood came, in a short time, even one-tenth of the grain was not rescued. Grains such as grains such as rice must be stored in a dry place. They will deteriorate quickly if they are slightly damp, let alone after being soaked in the water?

"General, the grain storage in the city is not enough to support one month. I hope the general will make a decision early and ask the King of Wei for help."

Man Chong's voice was dry and his eyes were dull. The blow of this battle had completely defeated the morale of Cao Wei, and even the people in the city were worried, as if they were dying.

Cao Ren put down his cracked armor, full of reluctance and his expression was extremely struggling.

Seeking help again?

Before asking for help, Yu Jin led the seven armies to come, but the entire army was wiped out, and Yu Jin surrendered to the enemy. This made it difficult for Cao Ren to give Cao Pi a satisfactory explanation. Now he still wants to ask Cao Pi for help? For more than 20 years, Cao Ren has always been invincible in the battle of south and north. The most glorious time was the Battle of Guandu to pacify the rebellion in the south and attack Yuan Shao in the north. Now he is huddled in Fancheng and beaten by Gan Ning so hard that he has no room for fighting back.

The situation has changed drastically.

Before, Cao Ren was guarding Fancheng with all his might, and could delay the battle-free sign for more than a year.

Now, Cao Ren will not fight, and in one month, Fancheng will fall into a famine throughout the city. If the battle is fought, the high walls built by the Taiping Army outside the city will make Cao Ren unfavorable to attack, and from taking the initiative to passing. To break the deadlock, it will inevitably cost a heavy price.

"Now Fancheng is surrounded on all sides, even if it breaks through, there is no way out."

The other party waited for the rabbit, waiting for Cao Ren to take the initiative to go out, and then the Taiping Army could easily defend the enemy from a high position. Cao Ren wanted to send someone to deliver letters to Cao Pi, but it was difficult not to pay tens of thousands of people.

Now that the morale of the army has fallen to the bottom, it is conceivable that if the Taiping Army is head-on, the casualties of Cao Wei will be extremely heavy.

Man Chong pondered for a while and gave Cao Ren an idea.

"General, you can dig tunnels in the city to reach the periphery, as long as someone goes out to deliver a letter."

Cao Ren thought about it and thought this plan was feasible, so he acted as Man Chong said.

Digging tunnels is not to go around the city to fight the Taiping Army, otherwise it will take a wider tunnel. The time required is a risk that Cao Ren cannot afford. At the same time, the movement will be huge and may alarm the enemy.

Therefore, digging a narrow tunnel that allows people to leave the city to deliver letters will not cause too much trouble, but will also increase the success rate.

In just three days, Cao Ren successfully opened a tunnel to the north and ordered people to send a letter to the King of Wei in Yecheng to ask for help!

Before Cao Pi received the news of Fancheng's emergency, the person who first learned about the battle situation in Xiangfan was Sun Quan in Chaisang.

The Ganning River flooded the seven armies, and Yu Jin's entire army was wiped out!

Sun Quan was shocked after Chaisang received the information sent by Zhou Yu.

Sitting in the main seat, Sun Quan was dumbfounded.

Gan Ning was able to defeat the seven armies led by Yu Jin without bloodshed, and forced Fancheng into a desperate situation!

Everything is in chaos!

Sun Quan had previously expected that the Battle of Fancheng would definitely be a situation where both sides suffered losses. Gan Ning of the Taiping Army and Cao Ren and Yu Jin of Cao Wei, the strength of both sides was definitely not something that could easily swallow the other side. The price they paid to win was bound to be quite high.

Yes, yes, yes...

After Lu Xun and Lu Su saw the information, they looked at each other and sighed with a heavy expression.

The Taiping Army often surprises the attacks and plunders outside, especially with the advantages of the right time and place, they can always exert extraordinary combat power.

This time, Gan Ning is so powerful that everyone in the world is not afraid of it?

Judging from the current situation, Gan Ning is very likely to capture Fancheng within one month, and there will be no major damage. Once Xiangfan is broken, Jingzhou will fall completely, and then Jiangdong will be even more precarious.

The Central Plains of Cao Wei faced the danger of changing hands, and Jiangdong's life was hanging on the line.

Sun Quan used to dominate Jingzhou for expansion and ambition, but now he had to go to war with the Taiping Army in order to protect himself. If he remained neutral, after Guo Jia took down the Central Plains, even if Ma Chao captured Guanzhong, Guo Jia's comprehensive strength would still rise instead of decline. Moreover, all south of the Yellow River would fall into Guo Jia's hands. Ma Chao's rebellion in Guanzhong would be like digging his own grave.

If you want to stab the Taiping Army in the back, it must be fatal!

After thinking about it, Sun Quan handed Lu Su in front of him and said, "Zijing, you go to Fancheng to meet Gan Ning quickly, saying that I intend to marry him and marry my eldest daughter to his son Gan Gui."

Lu Su bowed down to take over this errand.

Marry again?

Lu Su and Lu Xun both knew it well that Sun Quan wanted to show his weakness to the enemy and make Gan Ning feel at ease with Jiangdong, so as not to be prepared for Jiangdong as soon as possible after capturing Fancheng, which would make Jiangdong very passive.

Guo Jia has always liked to play tricks, and Sun Quan also started to show weakness, remove the enemy's defense, and wave a fatal blow to the greatest extent.

In the Taiping Army outside Fancheng, Gan Ning had a leisurely time to play chess with Zhang Hu in the general's tent.

As Zhang Liao's son, Zhang Hu was not as burly as Dianman and Xu Yi, but he also inherited Zhang Liao's wisdom beyond his courage. Among the younger generation, only his chess skills can be used as a platform for entertainment with Gan Ning.

Just as the coach and the young player were playing chess, someone outside the tent reported that Jiangdong and Lu Su were asking for a meeting.

Gan Ning didn't stand up to greet him, and ordered people to call Lu Su in.

Lu Su walked into the tent of the coach and saw that Gan Ning was still playing chess with Zhang Hu while he was still playing chess with Zhang Hu. He immediately said: Arrogant and arrogant!

When Gan Ning did not even give Lu Su the most basic hospitality ceremony, Lu Su had already figured out Gan Ning's attitude towards Jiangdong.

Contempt!

Guo Jia is quite etiquette towards Jiangdong. As a prince, Guo Jia will never lose the most basic etiquette in formal occasions. This is the principle of dealing with people.

Although Guo Jia must have disdained Jiangdong in his heart, at least he would not write it all on his face like Gan Ning.

"Zijing, what are you doing?"

Gan Ning asked without looking back.

Lu Su suppressed his anger and bowed, "Come on, I'm here to congratulate the general on his success in the battle."

The two families are allies, and Lu Su's words are not considered flattery. That's the truth.

Gan Ning raised his lips slightly, and he looked proud and said lightly: "Zi Jing praised me, I dare not take credit. I have always acted according to the lord's plan."

When Lu Su heard this, he suddenly realized that the bureau of the flooded Seven Army was designed by Guo Jia, and Gan Ning was just an executor. However, Gan Ning's ability to perfectly implement this plan was also an indispensable part of his contribution.

"If there is nothing else, Zijing should ask him to go back. This place is the front line of war. It is possible that war will break out at any time, so it is not advisable to stay for a long time."

Gan Ning had no good feelings for the people from Jiangdong, and had no patience, so he politely said that he would see the guests off.

Lu Su hurriedly revealed his true intention.

"General, my lord admires the power of the general and intends to marry the eldest daughter under his knee to the eldest son of the general. In this way, my lord and the envoy Guo will be considered to be more kinship."

Gan Ning pinched the chess piece and clenched it into a fist. For the first time, he turned his head and looked at Lu Su, his eyes full of coldness.

"You still have to kiss me?"

Faced with Gan Ning's cold expression, Lu Su opened his mouth and could not continue to speak a word.

Gan Ning turned his body and faced Lu Su, sarcastically said, "When someone was drinking and talking to Sun Wentai in Jingzhou, your lord was just a naughty boy playing with mud. In terms of seniority, he should respectfully call me senior. Zijing, your lord led the six counties of Jiangdong, which is the foundation that Sun Bofu has built. Go back and tell him that he would manage the six counties peacefully and make no mistakes."

After all, Gan Ning looked down on Sun Quan from beginning to end. Have he had any brilliant achievements since Sun Quan took office?

The Battle of Chibi may be counted, but what is the result? The benefit of getting it is still from the Taiping Army. Sun Quan's marriage can only show that he is not as wise as others.

Turning around again, Gan Ning said softly again disdainfully.

This sentence changed Lu Su's face and he was immediately furious.

"A dog girl is also a tiger child?"

Lu Su didn't expect that Gan Ning would despise Jiangdong and Sun Quan so much.

In front of him, a Jiangdong native, he dared to call Sun Quan a dog!

"Gan Ning! You!"

Lu Su pointed at Gan Ning and was very angry, but Gan Ning waved his hand and shouted, "Come on, blow this person out."

After Lu Su was bombarded by the guards coming in outside the tent, Gan Ning raised his head and looked at Zhang Hu. The young general was already silent.

"What's wrong?"

Facing Gan Ning's question, Zhang Hu swallowed his saliva and whispered with a wry smile: "Isn't the Grand Governor worried that Marquis Wu felt resentful after hearing this and raised an army to take revenge?"

Gan Ning said disapprovingly: "He dares to come, so he will give him a coffin. Jiangdong really dares to treason and start a war with our army. When he breaks Fancheng, he will rush Jiangdong to purge him."

Zhang Hu is just a low-level general. Even if his father is Zhang Liao, he has no say.

After hearing Gan Ning say this, Zhang Hu stopped talking.

The two of them went back and forth, and they fell into the chess word by word. Gan Ning thought about it, looking at the chess game, and recalled in his mind the plan that Guo Jia told him to break Fancheng that day.

Everything was exactly as Guo Jia expected, but Gan Ning felt suspicious in his heart, will the war in Xiangfan eventually develop as Guo Jia expected?

When Lu Su returned to Chaisang and informed Sun Quan of his conversation with Gan Ning, Sun Quan was furious and hated Gan Ning. At the same time, he also took the step of betraying the two families' alliance.
