Chapter 354: The Battle of Jingzhou (2)

Cai Mao was in Bowang, and when she saw Zhang Xiu, she couldn't help Cao Jun, and she was worried. Since Zhang Xiu's department is the elite of Liangzhou, he followed Dong Zhuo all over the world in the past. Zhang Xiu came to Kou Nanyang from his uncle Zhang Ji, and even broke the soldiers of Jingzhou, so he was able to take Nanyang. Such an elite soldier, but he is not Cao Cao's enemy. How can Jingzhou stop it?

said that Guan Yu and Zhu Zhi confronted each other in Hefei for several days. On this day, Gan Ning observed the situation of the enemy army, came to see Guan Yu, and said: "General, it is better to make another army after attacking Hefei." If he gets the city, Zhu Zhi will be defeated without a fight. ”

Guan Yu has been in Jiujiang for a long time, so he naturally knows that Jun Yu is the backup of Hefei and the place where Zhu Zhi tun grain. The grain and grass in Liyang counties were first transferred here, and then transferred to the front line in Hefei. He had also tried to attack him before, but he was well guarded by Zhu Zhi, and the army could not pass. Seeing Gan Ning's advice, he said: "I tried it, but Zhu Zhi guarded the dangerous pass, and he couldn't pass it." ”

Gan Ning said: "The good general learned that the foot cavalry can't pass, but the navy can't." There is a small river upstream of Shishui outside the city of Hefei, which can be passed by small boats to the dredging. ”

Guan Yu listened to it and stood up violently, Zhu Zhi was old in the army, and he defended Hefei City without leakage, and it was not a matter of one or two days to attack the city. He didn't have time to accompany Zhu Zhi here. Don't toss a little big move, how can Yangzhou be willing to withdraw from Jingzhou.

So Guan Yu asked Gan Ning: "I want to send the elite to attack Jun Xuan here, can Xingba go there?" "Guan Yu's deputy general Wu Kuang is an out-and-out landlubber, although Guan Yu was ordered to recruit Jianghuai heroes in Jiujiang, but after all, the time is short. It has not yet taken shape. He is the master of an army, and he can't move lightly, otherwise Zhu Zhi will definitely be suspicious. Therefore, it can only be entrusted to Ganning.

When Gan Ning first came, he was about to make a contribution, and when he saw Guan Yu asking, he smiled and said, "I want to do what I want." So the two agreed that Guan Yu would lead the army to attack the city in order to confuse Zhu Zhi. And Gan Ning led the water-proficient armor soldiers in the camp to sneak to Junyu.

On the morning of this day, the three armies had a meal, and amid the rumbling of drums, Guan Yu led his headquarters out of the camp and began to command the siege. In the city, Zhu Zhi also appeared in Hefei for the first time. Guan Yu led an elite division, and there were quite a lot of siege machinery in the army, and Zhu Zhi was also quite difficult to defend. Whenever Guan Yu came to attack, he had to muster all his strength and defend with all his might.

Just when the two armies were in position, and a big battle was about to break out. Gan Ning led hundreds of men and horses, quietly dispatched, and went to Shishui. The water is applied to bypass Hefei and finally injected into Chaohu Lake. Gan Ning led his troops to Shishui, drove the boat, the boat slurry entered the water and stirred silently, and took the boat to Junqiu.

Zhu Zhi is also a hundred secrets. He thinks that most of Guan Yu's subordinates are riding on foot, even if people with water access find that there is a waterway to go to Jun, this river is narrow, and the army cannot cross. As long as he guards the land route, Guan Yu wants to attack Junxuan, but it is doomed to be in vain. Who would have thought that after thousands of calculations, there was a Gan Ning in the Qingzhou army. Gan Ning was a young man wandering the rivers and lakes, and whenever he went to a place, he was accustomed to exploring the terrain first, so as to pursue or flee for his life. Although he has changed his evil ways and no longer does such nonsense as killing people and stealing goods, this habit has still been retained. In the past few days, Gan Ning's subordinates have explored the terrain and hydrology near Hefei, so there is a matter of Gan Ning's request.

There was no danger all the way, and when they arrived at Junxuan, Gan Ning led the crowd ashore. Before leaving, Gan Ning and the others said: "This I come to Qingzhou for the first battle, and I will pull out Jun to show my prestige." Whoever dares to slack off in battle, Hugh blames me for being ruthless under the knife! All of them received the order in awe.

Gan Ning then led the crowd to sneak to the vicinity of Jun Xuan City, and personally led people to inquire about the news, but found that there were many guards on the road from Jun Xuan to Hefei, and the checkpoints were also strict. Gan Ning said in his heart that this must be prevented after our army divided its troops to attack Hefei.

He also led people to the east gate of Junxuan, but this road leads to Liyang, Quanjiao and other counties. Although there were many soldiers, most of them were only responsible for collecting taxes and maintaining order. That lazy appearance, the spirit and spirit can't be compared with the defenders of Xicheng and Beicheng at all.

Gan Ning stared outside the east gate for a while. Then he led his troops to the direction of Liyang City, and arrived at a dense forest, where the soldiers were hidden. Gan Ning lay in the forest, and on the second day, he saw a grain team slowly coming on the official road. The grain overseer, who was riding on horseback in front of him, was overjoyed when he saw the dense forest here, and said, "Let's come here and rest for a while." So he rode his horse and whipped it.

It's dog days. The south is hot and humid, and this wood, with tall trees and shady canopies, happens to be a clearing in the middle, just to escape the heat. When the soldiers of the grain team behind him heard this, they also laughed and urged the people to drive the cart and go to the forest.

Gan Ning waited for the grain team to arrive in the forest, and after completely unloading his guards, after a gesture, all the soldiers surrounded the enemy, Gan Ning shouted loudly, and jumped out with a knife.

Suddenly, a group of bare-chested men jumped out of the forest, and the captain thought that he had encountered a robbery, and sneered: "I don't know whether to live or die, come on, kill me all!" ”

When the words fell, Gan Ning jumped a few times, and when he got closer, the captain pulled the knife and wanted to cut Gan Ning. Gan Ning's knife is like a match, only one knife, the captain with the knife with the person, split in half.

Gan Ning stretched out his hand to wipe the blood stains on his face, drank softly, and pounced again. Between the elbows and armpits, the unsuspecting Yangzhou soldiers were killed cleanly like chopping melons and vegetables. There are still those who want to escape, Gan Ning only said: "Those who descend live, and those who flee die!" Then he stopped as if by magic.

Gan Ning's experienced command dragged the corpse into the forest to bury it, and brought the soldiers into the forest for interrogation. In the end, Gan Ning, who changed the clothing and banner of Yangzhou soldiers, was satisfied, and waved his big hand and said: "Cut it all." "The people were terrified, and they fell on their knees.

A junior colonel hesitated and said, "Captain, there is an order in the army prohibiting the killing of surrenders, especially the indiscriminate killing of innocents. Gan Ning glared angrily, and was about to say believe it or not, I even cut you down. Suddenly, I remembered that now that I was the Governor of Qingzhou, I naturally had to abide by the Qingzhou military order. So he gave up.

Xiao Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief, Gan Ning's coercion just now was not pleasant. It's just that if he wants to slaughter these innocent people, he really can't do it.

Yangzhou descended people to pick up a life, and they didn't know what it was like in their hearts, when they were tied to a tree under Gan Ning's command and blocked their mouths, they all obediently cooperated, and they didn't dare to say a word. I'm afraid that the murderer just now will rebel and cut them down.

Gan Ning and his subordinates all changed into clean Yangzhou military uniforms, waving banners, and escorted the grain cart to Junyu along the way. Sooner or later, the people in the dense forest will be discovered, and they can only speed up their actions and seize Junyu City before the Yangzhou side reacts.

When he arrived at the east gate of Junyu and checked the paperwork password, Gan Ning swaggered and led the grain team into the city. When he arrived at the grain storage place in the city, Gan Ning entangled the captain of the camp at the entrance of the camp and made people enter to unload the grain.

The lieutenant and Gan Ning were chatting without a word, when they suddenly smelled a burning smell and asked, "What is the paste?" Suddenly reacted, looked at the camp, only to see green smoke curling up, and exclaimed: "The camp is flooded!" At this time, he still did not doubt Gan Ning, and said to Gan Ning: "You will follow me into the camp to fight the fire!" ”

Gan Ning replied: "Okay! But he pulled out his knife and slashed the lieutenant to the ground with one sword. Then he walked into the camp and saw that as long as he came in a hurry, he shouted to put out the fire, and he chopped it over one by one.

After a while, the fire spread, and Gan Ning thought to himself that even if they let them save it, they couldn't save anything. So with a roar, he led his troops out of the camp, and met a group of people who came to fight the fire, and said: "Where is the county order, there are people in the granary who are in trouble, and I want to repay it." ”

The group of soldiers was in a hurry, and they didn't distinguish between the real and the fake, so they pointed to the county office, and then hurried away. Gan Ning then led the army to attack the county government.

In the yazhong, officials such as the county commander and the chief bookkeeper saw the fire rising in the city from afar, vaguely in the direction of the granary. I couldn't help but be shocked. If there is something wrong with the granary, they have a few heads that are not enough to guard Zhu Zhi's cut. When he was anxious, someone suddenly came to report that there was a captain outside the door to ask for a meeting, so he did not suspect him and hurriedly called for him.

Gan Ning entered the county government and saw a group of officials, so he asked the person standing at the front, "You are the county order?" ”

The county commander said in his heart who this person is, why is he so vulgar, and he was anxious, so he said impatiently: "This official is, I came to ask you," Before he finished speaking, he saw Gan Ning sneering, raised his big knife and said: "Qingzhou Gan Ning, borrow your head to use it!" The sound of the knife fell, and the county commander only felt a chill on his neck, and a big head fell down.
