Chapter 304 Attacking the Camp at Night and Beheading General Xumi, Attacking the Enemy Thousands of Miles Away with Light Equipment

Just like this time, all the civil and military officials were filled with ridicule and ridicule!

In fact, during the battle with Cao Cao, such a situation often occurred in the court of Soochow.

——The whole house was watching in silence, and everyone was afraid to move forward.

Just like the Battle of Chibi in the past, there were a large number of surrender factions... Just like, even if it was a well-planned attack on Hefei, most civil and military forces did not support it.

That time it was Lu Meng and a group of warriors who stood up...

This time, it was Gan Ning who stood up. The audience was full of civil and military officials, but only Gan Ning was the true husband——

There are two reasons for this situation in Soochow. First, Gan Ning is not a native of Jiangdong. He is from Bajun in central Sichuan.

It is different from the image of a "reckless man" who always appears in movies and TV dramas.

He is from a serious family.

However, when he was a child, he loved to play. He often gathered a group of frivolous young men and appointed themselves as leaders. They carried bows and arrows, bird feathers on their heads, and bells on their bodies, wandering around. When the people heard the bell ringing, they knew it was Gan Ning. When the gang arrived, they called their group "Jinfan Thieves"!

Later, as he grew older, Gan Ning suddenly realized that he could no longer continue to be so wasteful.

Gan Ning suddenly realized that he no longer attacked others, but studied the theories of various schools of thought, hoping to make a difference and enter an official career.

Because of the family's help, he started as a ji and gradually rose to become a county magistrate in Shu.

But unfortunately, under Liu Yan, he just couldn't be reused!

This is because Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, father and son, were able to stabilize the situation in Yizhou because tens of thousands of refugees from Nanyang and Sanfu areas entered Yizhou during the chaos in the Central Plains. Collected and called "Dongzhou Soldiers"!

Liu Yan used this "Dongzhou Soldier" to suppress the local clans and soldiers in Yizhou!

Gan Ning was one of those suppressed.

Therefore, after Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne, Gan Ning joined forces with Shen Mi, Lou Fa and others to rebel against Liu Zhang, but was defeated by the "Dongzhou soldiers".

Then he fled to Jingzhou and took refuge with Liu Biao.

Later, it was discovered that Liu Biao was a "drunkard" who did not understand military affairs at all and would never succeed, so he wanted to join Soochow.

But he was blocked by Jiangxia and couldn't get through.

So he stayed under Huang Zu for a few more years. During this period, Huang Zu was defeated by Sun Quan. Gan Ning calmly shot Sun Quan's bandit commander Ling Cao.

Although he made great achievements, Huang Zu still did not entrust him with important tasks.

Later, it was because Su Fei helped him escape that Gan Ning took refuge under Sun Quan in Jiangdong as he wished. When he saw Sun Quan, he immediately proposed a plan to plot against Bashu...

This coincides with the strategy of "dividing the world into two" proposed by Zhou Yu.

Over the years, Gan Ning has made many military exploits in Soochow.

Even when Zhou Yu was preparing to attack Bashu, Gan Ning was the vanguard.

As can be seen…

Gan Ning was one of the few people in the civil and military circles of Soochow who really had the courage and courage, and one of the few who really wanted to fight out, or even fight back to Bashu.

He never came to Jiangdong to enjoy happiness or avoid disaster.

Unfortunately…

Gan Ning's ideas were contrary to the interests of the Jiangdong family.

The major families in Jiangdong, their goal is peace and stability in Jiangdong...it is their own interests.

As for who is the master, they don't care.

But it will take a lot of resources to attack north.

Sorry...they will only pursue the policy of not supporting or opposing!

Therefore, in the battle of Huainan...it seems that Sun Quan brought a lot of people, but in fact not many people really wanted to defeat Cao Cao and capture Shouchun and occupy Huainan.

More people are willing to settle for this status quo. Cao Cao cannot defeat Hefei, and Sun Quan cannot survive Shouchun. If this... can continue, the major families in Soochow will benefit from it.

And how could Sun Quan not see this in his mind?

Although he was angry at Gan Ning's blatant ridicule, he was even more angry at the lack of support from these civil and military factions, and the lack of support from these aristocratic factions!

It is too difficult for Soochow to get rid of the trapped beast You Dou.

call…

With a long exhale, Sun Quan exited the main hall of the government office first.

Gan Ningyou asked himself and shouted: "My lord, do you want to fight or not? Burn Cao's camp or not, you have to say something!"

The only responses he received were Sun Quan's heavy footsteps and worried sighs coming from the cold atmosphere in the government office.

——The entire military meeting broke up unhappy!

Gan Ning walked out of the office angrily. Many civil servants and military officials deliberately avoided him, as if Gan Ning had suddenly turned into a god of plague.

As Gan Ning walked, he cursed, "Who are these people? A bunch of rats! Rat eyes are short-sighted, short-sighted!"

At this time, Sun Quan's son Sun Deng chased him, "General Gan, General Gan..."

Sun Deng deliberately lowered his voice.

Gan Ning stopped and saw that it was the eldest son, and he became angry, angry...angry with his father.

When we first fought in Chibi, there was still Lu Zijing here who was fighting against everyone's opinions, but now...a bunch of wimps, feeling aggrieved and aggrieved.

Sun Deng could tell that Gan Ning was in a bad mood, so he did not dare to hesitate and said quickly: "General Gan, please take a step to speak!"

"Whatever you say!" Gan Ning looked nonchalant.

Sun Deng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still said: "Father just called me specifically to tell General Gan not to be angry. Attacking Cao's army is a serious matter. It is pitiable, but you need to be cautious! However, my father felt that Gan The general successfully robbed Cao Ying with hundreds of horses in the past. If he brings this 'burning pot' this time, he will definitely regain his former glory..."

Gan Ning listened for a long time and felt a little confused. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What do you mean, eldest son?"

Sun Deng said cautiously, "Father has personally selected five hundred knights for General Gan. I only hope to hear the news that General Gan burned Cao's camp and shocked the world!"

As soon as he said this, Gan Ning's originally angry expression suddenly changed. He couldn't help but said: "Okay..."

But when he said this, Gan Ning thought about something, and then asked: "Does this mean what the eldest son means, or what your father means?"

this…

Sun Deng hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "Of course it's what my father meant."

"Sure..." Gan Ning slapped Sun Deng heavily on the shoulder, "Wait for the news of my triumphant return. I will not let you down—"

While talking, Gan Ning went to order troops...

In front of the gate of Hefei City, there were only 500 cavalry, but a full 1,000 cavalry.

Just when Gan Ning was confused, Ling Tong was mysterious and very cautiously stepped out of the 500 horses he had brought with him.

"Ling Tong?" Gan Ning exclaimed.

Ling Tong glanced at him sideways: "I'm afraid that you died too tragically and no one will collect your body. Then I won't be able to avenge my father!"

"Haha..." Gan Ning suddenly understood what Ling Tong meant. Ling Tong was going to participate in "Burning Cao's Camp"!

Immediately, Gan Ning laughed and said: "This battle is won. I let you stab me three times, so I can avenge your father..."

Ling Tong's tone was as cold as ever.

"You should come back alive first before we talk!"

As he said this, what Ling Tong recalled in his heart were his father's words.

——"Private hatred must not be imposed on justice!" 』

In the battle at Xiaoyaojin, it was because he put personal hatred above justice that he neglected to take precautions and allowed Zhang Liao to pass through his and Gan Ning's vanguard and break into the Chinese army camp, shocking the world and making him Jiangdong became a laughing stock...

What he, Ling Tong, lost in the past, he must take back today!

"If you stay dazed again, it will be dawn!" Ling Tong reminded.

Gan Ning had already climbed onto his horse and shouted loudly: "Bring the clay pots to me, general, and follow me on a quick march to Feishui Cao Camp!"

No drumming, no shouting...

There were only a thousand knights, including Gan Ning and Ling Tong. They were like ghosts in the night, galloping towards Cao Jun's Feishui camp.

…

…

——Reward based on merit.

After the great victory in Anlu City, Guan Lin inevitably held a grand celebration banquet to discuss his merits and reward them.

At the banquet, Guan Lin first walked towards the father and son Zhu Ling and Zhu Shu.

"In this battle, if the two generals hadn't successfully misled the ban and lured them into a trap...how could they have achieved such a great victory? I owe these two generals a bowl of respect for this achievement!"

As he spoke, Guan Lin drank all the wine in the bowl.

The rest of the people looked at Zhu Ling and his son, and some who knew the truth... looked at the Zhu family and his son with interest.

Look at the sadness in their hearts, but they can't help but smile on their faces, and their smiles look like they are crying.

This expression... looks so comfortable.

Some people who didn't know the truth gave them thumbs up and praised them from time to time.

"The two Generals Zhu made such great achievements when they first came to Jiangxia, which makes us envious..."

"Yes, such meritorious deeds are just like the Battle of Chibi in the past, when Zhou Yu defeated Huang Gai's Huang Gai, just like the Battle of Guandu, when Xu You surrendered to Cao Cao late at night. It is a great achievement!"

These words passed into the ears of Zhu Ling and Zhu Shu, Huang Gai and Xu You... They felt that... these compliments were scratching their hearts, one by one... the scraping was painful and tearing. Heartbroken.

"Why doesn't General Zhu look unhappy?" Guan Lin looked at Zhu Ling's uncertain expression and deliberately joked.

Zhu Ling pursed her lips and wanted to open her mouth to speak, but her throat seemed to be choked and she still couldn't speak. At this moment, he seemed to be naked and ashamed to be seen by others.

"I…"

Finally, Zhu Ling hesitated with the word "I", and Zhu Shu quickly interrupted: "My father is so touched, yes... so touched, in the past in Cao Ying, never... never received such courtesy! Never... never had the opportunity to make such a great contribution!"

How shameless...to say this!

Suddenly, Guan Lin had another comment on Zhu Shu - he was so thick-skinned!

oh…

Guan Lin, on the other hand, nodded slightly and didn't mind Zhu Shu's thick skin. "Quick, fill General Zhu Ling with wine. He won't come home until he's drunk tonight."

As soon as he said this, Zhu Ling put the wine bowl to his mouth with difficulty and drank...

As the spicy wine passed through his enema, he was not relieved, but seemed to be forced to accept the truth, "Here, pour the wine, pour the wine...I respect the Fourth Young Master!"

This is just a small episode...

After that, Guan Lin went to pay respects to Jiang Qian, Hou Yin, Lu Xun... and then Liao Hua and Zhuge Ke.

The eldest brother Guan Ping was worried that the enemy troops would return after leaving, so he led the Guan army to guard the city gate and did not have a banquet here.

After three drinks, Guan Lin excused himself from the table...

On the contrary, not long after, a soldier said something in the ears of Jiang Qian, Hou Yin, and Lu Xun, and the three of them also left the table one after another...

It turned out that Guan Lin wanted to see them alone.

The first one to come was Jiang Gan.

After some pleasantries, Guan Lin got straight to the point, "Mr. Jiang, if you can win this time, you and the refinery have made the greatest contribution. I will tell my father about this achievement and let him report it to my uncle, who will reward you..."

"What did Mr. Yunqi say?" Jiang Qian spent the first half of his life doing nothing and accomplishing nothing.

In the dark circles, there are always people who make up stories to discredit him, saying that Jiang Qian stole books, and they say it in a decent way, describing him as an uneducated common man who only listens and believes!

But those are all nonsense!

Now, with this "Jiang Gan arson", Jiang Gan's back can finally straighten up, and he can finally stand up.

"Mr. Jiang, I plan to give you one thousand more people, including five hundred soldiers and five hundred migrant workers. You will coordinate them in the refinery. The refinery is very important... The burning tank is just the beginning, and there will be more in the future. Extraction of various powders, from now on, the affairs of the refinery will be left to you, Mr. Jiang!"

Guan Lin's words were heartfelt.

The burning cans come out of the self-made refinery. Perhaps soon, the world will spread. How powerful are these burning cans?

But who knows the dangers of the combustion can from mining to refining?

After this incident, Guan Lin discovered that Jiang Qian was a person with extremely strong execution ability and a delicate mind...

Guan Lin felt a lot more at ease when the smelting workshop was handed over to him.

After Jiang Gan thanked him, the two exchanged pleasantries again, and then Jiang Gan left...

Hou Yin came in after that...

Although this was his first face-to-face meeting, because of so many letters exchanged, he and Guan Lin seemed to have been friends for a long time.

"I have been mentioning exams and the hopes of the people at the bottom in my letters before, but I haven't had time to mention them in detail to Governor Hou... Now that Governor Hou is here, I feel much more at ease! As for the official title of Governor Hou, , I have asked my father to tell my uncle to give him the reward... I, Guan Lin, am a bit too young for the rank of official in Jiangxia, and I am not worthy of being the Grand Administrator of Hou."

"Hahahaha..." Hou Yin laughed, "If it was for the reward, I wouldn't have appeared here with Mr. Yun Qi... I came to Jiangxia for no other reason than for you... just for the establishment of a relationship with Mr. Kong Ming. That ideal state!”

Hou Yin's words were as expected for Guan Lin...

Unexpectedly, Hou Yin directly took out the military talisman, "This is the military talisman of Nanyang's 20,000 soldiers. My ambition has never been to lead the army and become a general. In the past, I was the governor of Nanyang to make the life of the people of Nanyang easier... Now, I just discovered that the one who can make their life easy is not me, but you, Guan Yunqi... Please accept this weapon talisman, it will be of great help to your future attack on Nanyang!"

Look at that soldier symbol...

Guan Lin felt moved, but he still pushed the military talisman back, "I accept the kindness of Governor Hou, but even if you give me the military talisman, it can't be now... Governor Hou has done so much for the people of Nanyang, how could he do it at the last moment?" , give me all the credit! As for..."

Guan Lin paused for a moment, and his eyes seemed to see through what Hou Yin was thinking, "The exam that can bring hope to thousands of people...I named it the 'Imperial Examination', but to achieve this step, we need to implement the After entering the country and abolishing the poll tax, we began to vigorously popularize books and teach people how to read. All these need to be implemented step by step!"

"The support of Prefect Hou will be indispensable at that time... With some soldiers on hand, it will be easy to popularize books and teach literacy among them... Also, papermaking and printing are all inseparable from human hands, so... this soldier talisman is still Let’s keep it in the hands of Prefect Hou first!”

call…

After hearing Guan Lin's words, Hou Yin nodded slightly and took back the military talisman.

But he said: "I agreed first, I will hold this soldier talisman for you, these soldiers belong to your Guan Yunqi..."

"Thank you, Governor Hou..."

"You and I have been exchanging letters and have been friends for such a long time, so this title has become very popular!"

"Little weirdo, thank you so much, Brother Hou!" Guan Lin smiled and poured tea for Hou Yin...

At this time, Mi Yangtong preached: "Report to the eunuch, General Lu has arrived at the door."

Hou Yin stood up quickly, "Yun Qi has a lot of people to meet today, so I'll take my leave first..."

Guan Lin saw Hou Yin out, and not long after, Lu Xun finally entered the study.

And as the two of them sat down... Lu Xun raised his eyes and looked at Guan Lin. His first words were faint, with a tone that was a little tough, a little sad and regretful.

"Young Master Guan, you have made me, Lu Xun, miserable—"

"Haha, this time, you forced me to Jingzhou. Who will be the next Soochow general you force to Jingzhou?"

--"sweet…"

Lu Xun's words made Guan Lin almost blurt out subconsciously.

He hurriedly poured tea for Lu Xun, "Bo Yan drank too much. Are you drunk? Sober up first... sober up?"

Lu Xun seemed to have caught Guan Lin's words. His pupils were condensed and he asked solemnly.

"Next, is Gan Ning?"

"Right? Right?"

…

…

"Enemy attack——"

"Enemy attack——"

The hoofbeats of a thousand Soochow knights broke the tranquility of the night. Gan Ning's double halberds and Ling Tong's colorful iron and black tassel spears seemed to be plated with silver light by the moonlight.

A thousand knights rushed straight to Cao Jun's camp.

Suddenly, Cao Ying blew the horn...

"boom--"

As the giant deer in front of the village gate was overturned, Ling Tong and Gan Ning's cavalry quickly charged into the enemy camp.

Compared with Guan Yu, Gan Ning and Ling Tong's charge was more violent. They not only rushed into the entrance of the camp, but also reached the Chinese army's tent.

These Soochow knights also chopped and smashed clay pots into the camp.

However, Gan Ning was not in a hurry to set fire. This time he came... In addition to burning Cao's camp, he had only one purpose, and that was to kill Cao Cao!

Sudden.

too suddenly.

After all, Zhang Liao, as the commander of this Feishui military camp, did not expect that after the previous defeat of the "Bronze Mirror", under the huge intimidation of the Soochow soldiers by the Shanxi fellows, and under the ridicule of his child...

The Soochow Army actually dared to come and rob the camp late at night?

Zhang Liao quickly walked out of a military tent. At this moment, the entire military camp did not seem to be in a panic. After all, there was no fire and the enemy army only had more than a thousand people. What were they afraid of?

"Everyone defends his own camp..." Zhang Liao immediately ordered, "Where is the enemy? Where is the enemy? Who came to rob the camp."

"It's...it's Gan Ning!"

Cao Jun was very familiar with Gan Ning...

There are not many people in Soochow who can make Cao Jun tremble.

"It seems to be heading...in the direction of the Chinese army's tent."

Following the words of a personal guard...

Zhang Liao was startled, "No, Gan Ning is crazy. He is going to assassinate the prime minister!"

Immediately, Zhang Liao did not hesitate and quickly led his soldiers towards the Chinese army.

quick…

Gan Ning and Ling Tong killed so quickly that they seemed to have no intention of returning alive.

Under the night sky, accompanied by the "crackling" sound of clay pots, the sounds of chaos, blood, and the clash of weapons were converging into the horn of charge, making a wanton noise in Cao's camp.

Group after group...Cao Ying's soldiers were not afraid of life and death and came towards Gan Ning and Ling Tong, hoping to cut off their path and protect the Chinese army.

"Stab it..."

Gan Ning's double halberds, with their dazzling blades, cut through the crowd in the night sky fiercely, and blood... flew around him.

"The thief will die——"

At this time, a young general in armor, carrying a crescent halberd, came towards Gan Ning very bravely.

"court death--"

Gan Ning's whole body's energy and blood surged. He let out a long roar, and a stream of energy was transmitted into his arms. The two halberds struck horizontally. The moment the halberd blades collided with the opponent's crescent halberd, the crescent halberd was directly shaken away by Gan Ning's huge strength...

The young general watched helplessly as Gan Ning's other halberd was inserted into his chest.

Blood splatters…

"My son..." At this time, Zhang Liao, who had arrived late, shouted loudly.

It turned out that the person Gan Ning was killing was none other than Zhang Liao's son - Zhang Hu!

This time... Zhang Liao went crazy. He seemed to be crazy and waved his crescent halberd directly towards Gan Ning. "I'll take your life—"

But at this moment, a colorful iron black tassel gun blocked Zhang Liao's crescent halberd...

It was Ling Tong. While he stopped Zhang Liao, he shouted to Gan Ning: "You go first, kill Cao's thieves, burn the camp, don't save me!"

As soon as this statement came out...

"Xilulu..."

Ling Tong's horse seemed to have sensed the fighting intention of its master. It stood up, looked up to the sky and neighed, looking down at the enemy Zhang Liao's horse in front of it like a prince among horses.

"fire--"

Ling Tong's spear entangled with Zhang Liao, and he shouted loudly: "Gan Ning, set fire to my side now——"

There were broken clay pots everywhere…

At this moment, fish oil and white phosphorus are sprinkled in the air. All it takes is a rocket, and the fire dragons rise up all over the sky. Ling Tong and Zhang Liao... will be killed in the fire!

No chance of survival!

Ling Tong's voice was still ringing: "Man, why are you afraid of death? Gan Ning, don't let me look down on you. Now... set fire to my place——"

As the saying goes:

——Strong soldiers broke through the formation and beheaded General Xumi, and light-armed troops quickly attacked the enemy thousands of miles away.

——A true man, have nothing to fear from death!
