328.Chapter 328: The Turtle Son
Gan Ning carried the upper body of Yong'an Guard, and after escaping on horseback, he led the sailors under his tent to hide on the boat.
At the beginning, the 1,000 Xiliang soldiers, as well as the 500 men and horses who came to support behind, all ran to the bank of the Fenshui River, gritting their teeth and wanting to avenge their master.
However, Gan Ning and the others were roaming the river in a warship, and the Xiliang army had no choice.
It didn't take long for the Xiliang soldiers, who had lost their momentum, to begin to leave.
Some of the leaderless Xiliang soldiers fled to the rest of the city, and some ran directly to the mountains and fell into the grass.
Later, Gan Ning led an army of 800 sailors and occupied Yong'an County almost bloodlessly.
"How long will it take for the vanguard army of the state to arrive?"
"The five thousand Hun cavalry led by General Lu Bu have already rushed here at night. If it is not bad as expected, tomorrow evening, you will be able to reach the territory of Jiexiu. β
Jiexiu is a remote county in the southernmost part of Taiyuan County, where there are many mountains, vast and sparsely populated, and it happens to be adjacent to Yong'an in Hedong County.
At the beginning, Gan Ning led the water army, and it was from the Fenshui in the territory of Jiexiu that he entered the territory of Yong'an in Hedong County.
Chen Xu issued an order at that time, with the 5,000 Hun cavalry led by LΓΌ Bu as the vanguard, and let Gan Ning's warships be responsible for transporting them across the Fenshui.
However, Gan Ning is a high-minded and arrogant person, and he has never been very friendly to Lu Bu. If he wants to watch Lu Bu win the first credit, but he can only be a transport captain, how can Gan Ning be willing?
So, he wrote a letter, which was sent to Chen Xu quickly; On the one hand, he led the naval army under his tent to attack Yong'an County.
This is also why, there are only 1,000 sailors who attacked Yong'an this time.
Otherwise, if Lu Bu led 5,000 Hun cavalry soldiers to the city, plus Gan Ning's 1,000 water army. Yong'an County, which is already short of food, is likely to surrender in Kaicheng.
After Gan Ning occupied the county seat of Yong'an, he began to provide relief to the victims. Many people who were about to starve to death were lucky to save their lives because of the relief of the state army.
However, there is not much grain and grass that Gan Ning carries.
On the other hand, he was also worried about the Puzi defenders and came to the rescue of Yong'an. At that time, with a thousand naval troops, even if they could hold Yong'an, they would suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, Gan Ning asked when Lu Bu would be able to lead his troops to come.
"Tomorrow?"
Hearing the news, Gan Ning's heart relaxed. This time, he didn't get Chen Xu's order, so he led his troops to attack Yong'an County without authorization.
If he wins a big victory, it is naturally easy to say, but if he is a little careless, causing heavy losses to the navy army, and letting the Xiliang army have precautions, he is the sinner of the Bingzhou army.
On the official road, Chen Xu marched quickly with the soldiers of Bingzhou. When he heard the news that Gan Ning had sent troops to attack Yong'an without permission, he was immediately shocked and angry.
"Where is this?"
Chen Xu looked at the white expanse in front of him and asked the guide.
The guide said: "The front is Zhao Yuze." β
"Zhao Yuze?" Chen Xu was a little surprised, and asked Tian Feng behind him, "Could it be the position where Xingba trains the navy?" β
Tian Feng nodded and said, "Yes!" β
Thinking of Gan Ning, Chen Xu's face sank again.
Gan Ning rushed to send troops without getting an order this time, which was too bold and reckless. If you are not careful, it will destroy Jia Xu's overall plan.
seemed to see what Chen Xu was thinking, but Jia Xu chuckled lightly and said: "Don't worry, my lord, General Gan is brave and strategic, and he is a good general in the world." Since he dared to send troops to seize Yong'an County, he must have full certainty. β
When Chen Xu heard this, his face looked a little better.
"Stomp, stomp!"
A hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Chen Xu saw a herald riding a war horse, galloping towards him.
"Stop!"
As soon as the herald pulled the reins, the war horse under his crotch kicked and roared, and then stopped.
He said to Chen Xu: "Lord, the front-line battle report, General Gan has captured Yong'an County!" β
Chen Xu was first surprised, and then overjoyed.
Yong'an is the gateway to the southward movement of the Bingzhou army, if he can capture this county seat, Chen Xu can rely on Jia Xu's plan to quickly attack Guanzhong.
"Tell the three armies, go to Yong'an County under the stars!"
Chen Xu raised the spear in his hand and said loudly.
Jieshan is located in the territory of Jiexiu. To the west of Jieshan, there is a big river, which is Fenshui.
On the official road, a cavalry was galloping rapidly, and one of the generals headed by it was Lu Bu.
Wiping the sweat from his face, Lu Bu asked the guide impatiently, "How long will it take to get out of the realm?" β
The guide cautiously said: "General, I will not be able to march on a war horse if I go more than twenty miles." If you want to go up the Fenshui River, you must have a water army to respond. β
"Damn it!"
The guide mentioned the 'water army', and Lu Bu's face suddenly became gloomy.
Originally, this time, as a pioneer officer, he still went to ask Chen Xu for war with a shy old face, so he won this opportunity.
After all, many people want to make a contribution. Therefore, the competition for the vanguard officer is very fierce.
Fortunately, Chen Xu considered that Lu Bu had not made an inch of merit in the new investment and annexation of the state. In addition, the two are relatives, so Chen Xu asked Lu Bu to be the pioneer so that he could earn some credit.
But I didn't want to, the sailor army that was used as a means of transportation in the plan actually took the lead in seizing Yong'an and robbing this first achievement. This couldn't help but make Lu Bu annoyed in his heart.
For Lu Bu, this is simply a slap in the face. At this time, he couldn't help hating Gan Ning to the core.
"Full speed march!"
Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Lu Bu waved the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand and rushed forward first.
That night, Gan Ning was patrolling the city with his men, when suddenly a man rushed forward and said to him: "General LΓΌ Bu has led his army to the lower reaches of Fenshui, and he asked the general to lead a ship to meet him." β
"So fast?"
Gan Ning was taken aback in his heart, he didn't expect that Lu Bu had already arrived here a full day ahead of schedule.
At this speed, even if Lu Bu's command was full of cavalry, it would take a starry night to arrive.
After thinking for a while, Gan Ning took the big knife in his hand and said to the lieutenant general beside him: "You lead three hundred soldiers to lead the newly recruited young men to defend the city, and I will go to meet the forward army." β
In order to prevent the defenders of Puzi County from attacking, Gan Ning urgently recruited more than 1,000 young men to defend Yong'an.
He didn't spend much money on recruiting these young men at all, just two meals of gruel a day.
Although Gan Ning did not bring much grain and grass, during this time, he kept using warships to transport grain from Jiexiu.
Although these grains still can't support the consumption of the people in Yong'an County, they also ensure that there will be no shortage of food in the army.
In fact, after repeated raids by the Xiliang army, there are not many people left in Yong'an County.
The reason why Gan Ning was able to recruit a thousand young people was that there were still many people from outside, and when they heard that gruel was provided in the city, they rushed in.
The adjutant general said with some concern: "General, if I rob Lu Bu of the first credit, will he trouble us?" β
Gan Ning said disdainfully: "Those who can make merit occupy it, I am relying on the sword in my hand to capture Yong'an County." Even if Lu Bu is dissatisfied, what can he do to me? β
"You know, in the state army, it's not him who has the final say."
Although there were only 1,000 sailors in Bingzhou, for this war, Chen Xu ordered a hundred warships to be built.
When Gan Ning raided Yong'an, he only brought less than half of the ships, and the rest of the warships remained in Bingzhou.
This time, in order to transport 5,000 Hun cavalry, Gan Ning used all the warships.
Rao is like this, Gan Ning still tossed all night before transporting 5,000 Hun cavalry with men and horses to Hedong County.
"Damn it!"
After transporting all the 5,000 Hun cavalry, Gan Ning felt that he was exhausted.
During this time, in order to sneak attack Yongan County, Gan Ning has not slept well. After conquering the county seat of Yong'an, he was busy recruiting young people to defend the city, preventing the Xiliang army from attacking, and transporting grain and grass.
As soon as he took a breath, Lu Bu came over with five thousand cavalry.
Although 5,000 men were not many, if they were transported by a hundred warships, it would only take two trips to complete the transportation. However, the transportation of war horses is a big problem.
Not only are they bulky, but they are also difficult to transport, and it is for this reason that the navy has been tossing for so long.
Lu Bu was relieved to see that all the soldiers were transported. He hung a sword at his waist and held Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, so he went directly to find Gan Ning.
After coming to Yong'an to see Gan Ning, because he still had to rely on Gan Ning's navy to transport them over, Lu Bu kept holding back.
Now that he has no worries, he naturally won't watch his head work being robbed and be indifferent.
"Where's Gan Ning?"
Lu Bu searched for a long time, but he didn't find Gan Ning.
He had no choice but to come to the naval camp angrily, grabbed a naval sergeant, and asked him viciously.
The soldier, as if he was very afraid of Lu Bu, said cautiously, "General Gan is sleeping on the ship. β
After speaking, he pointed to a tattered fishing boat by the river.
"As the commander of the navy, why did he sleep in the fishing boat if he didn't stay on the warship?"
Lu Bu left the sailor soldier, took the Fang Tian painting halberd, and strode towards the fishing boat. He didn't see the soldier looking at his back, with a mocking look.
Looking at the dilapidated fishing boat, Lu Bu hesitated, but did not go up after all.
He stood on the shore, angry dantian, and shouted: "Gan Ning, what crime should you be guilty of disobeying the order of the lord and sending troops without authorization?" β
He shouted a few times with his throat drawn, and all the nearby sailors heard Lu Bu's words and glared at him angrily. However, there has been no movement on the fishing boat.
When Lu Buzheng was impatient, he suddenly heard a lazy voice sound: "Which turtle son is noisy with my rest?" β
When Lu Bu heard this, he was even more furious. He didn't want to ignore it, so he jumped directly on the fishing boat, wanting to teach Gan Ning a lesson.
