Atou Mountain.

The white cloth around the Ming army camp was removed.

"Is it really fake?" Gan Ning looked at this scene and muttered in a low voice.

Since two days, in order to judge whether Pang De is really dead, Gan Ning has been lurking outside the Ming army camp, monitoring day and night.

After waiting for a while, Gan Ning saw that the soldiers in the Ming army camp began to gather, and felt a little bad: "What is this for?" Is it going to be a decisive battle? Or ......"

"Leave?"

After pondering for a while, Gan Ning called an old subordinate beside him, who was one of the original Jinfan thieves, and ordered: "Return to the camp immediately, let everyone get ready, and wait for the general's order." ”

"Yes!"

When the old subordinates left, Gan Ning relaxed slightly, but he didn't dare to relax a little, still staring at the Ming army camp without blinking his eyes.

Inside the camp.

It took less than half an hour for the Ming army to gather, and now two quarters of an hour have passed, and there is no sign of moving. The army didn't react at all, just waited silently.

It's as uniform as the white cloth on their arms!

Click~

The camp gate was not opened, but directly split, and the atmosphere of slaughter was instantly transmitted.

Gan Ning touched his head and thought with a serious face: Decisive battle!

Five people in a row, neatly and orderly lined up out of the camp.

When about three or five thousand men came out, a newly made coffin appeared, pulled by three horses at the same time, and a circle of soldiers escorted out of the camp around it.

"Really dead?"

Surprise flashed in Gan Ning's eyes, but he still did not relax, his eyes swept back and forth on all the soldiers, trying to find Pang De and find the flaws in it.

Pity......

After looking at it for a long time, Gan Ning not only didn't find a flaw, but there was a problem in his eyes, and everyone thought it was - Pound!

This is naturally impossible!

Gan Ning knew that something was wrong, so he didn't stay longer, and quietly retreated, at this time he had already determined the intentions of the Ming army.

Not a decisive battle.

Rather, withdraw!

Why this happened, Gan Ning didn't know, and he didn't have time to think about it.

Returning to his camp, Gan Ning did not hesitate to give the order to dispatch.

Atou Mountain is located between Fancheng and Xiangyang, southerly, less than 20 miles away from Hanshui.

Before coming back, the Ming army had already walked for a while, how far could it go? If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid you won't have a chance.

Gan Ning hurried slowly, and finally rushed to the riverside before the Ming army crossed the river.

Gan Ning pulled out his halberd and roared: "Pang De is dead, all the generals will kill them with General Ben!" ”

"Kill~"

The murderous machine did not make the Ming army panic much, but more hatred.

Hatred!

Gan Ning was not afraid, but even more excited, because it meant that Pound was really dead.

"Hahaha!"

Gan Ning laughed wildly and said: "Pang De is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!" ”

"Gan Ning will die, and those who descend will not be killed!"

The sudden response made Gan Ning stunned. Then I saw a flying horse coming, it was none other than Pound.

"You ......" Gan Ning's eyes almost didn't fall to the ground. He knew he had been tricked.

However, without waiting for Gan Ning's order, there was a shout of killing behind him. At this time, Gan Ning completely understood. At the speed of the Ming army, if you want to withdraw, you will still be building a pontoon bridge, and you must have already crossed the river, at least most of it. didn't leave, the purpose was to wait for him.

"It's despicable!"

"Hahaha!"

This time, Pound laughed.

"General Gan is brave and brave, and he is quite capable of being a soldier, otherwise he can't be defeated."

After listening to this, Gan Ning's heart actually felt a lot better.

Being praised always makes people feel good!

"Liu Bei is about to die, why should General Gan sacrifice his life to serve? Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your hundreds of brothers, right? Pound did not act immediately, but spoke again to persuade him.

Gan Ning used to be a thief with a brocade sail, and there were 800 brothers under him, not to mention that all of them were white in the waves, but they were also good people, and their feelings for each other were also very good. It is precisely because of this that he can cross the rivers, even Liu Biao can only send people to surrender.

It's just that under Liu Bei, it is clear that he is good at water warfare, but he is made a general of land warfare, and only lets him lead the naval army when necessary. It is precisely because of this that he will try his best to defeat Pound this time, in order to get enough credit to become a general of the navy.

Maybe it's because there are too many blisters, my brain is in water, I fall in love with water, and I always want to be next to the water and look at the water.

Otherwise, no......

"Die!"

Thinking that he was like a fool who had been tricked, Gan Ning was annoyed and angry, ignoring Pang De's persuasion and pounced.

Seeing this, Pound said secretly: It shouldn't be! According to the news, this guy has a deep affection for Paoze, especially the Jinfan thief who followed back then, even now he is relying on his confidant, how can he not pay attention to it?

Thinking like this, but also, I didn't forget to face the battle.

It's just that how did he know that Gan Ning didn't believe that Pang De would kill innocents indiscriminately, as for whether he could continue to serve in the army, it was not a big deal, after all, under the rule of Emperor Ming, everyone could eat enough, and if he couldn't join the army, he would be a commoner, there was no problem at all.

Sometimes, an advantage is really an advantage, but it can also be a disadvantage!

After the fight, Gan Ning found that he was not Pound's opponent at all, and he was a little puzzled.

The two-day surveillance, although it was not long, but the continuous surveillance still made Gan Ning unconsciously consume a lot of energy, but it was not obvious for a while. But now that he has met Pound, who has been recuperating for a long time, he will naturally be magnified.

As soon as he fought, Pound was quite surprised, but in the blink of an eye, he was faster, and he no longer avoided the real and the false, and confronted it hard.

Gan Ning noticed this, and his face couldn't help but darken, but he was not the kind of person who sat still, especially when he was near the water.

"Withdraw~" is actually not withdrawn, but a code, a code that only the Jinfan thief can understand, but the meaning is just that.

Pound didn't understand, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but shoot faster. It's just that this also made him subconsciously ignore some things, and this is precisely the chance for Gan Ning and others to survive.

In a "ding" hand-to-hand sound, the two approached the pontoon.

"Let's go!"

With a long shout, Gan Ning suddenly repelled Pang De half a step with all his strength.

"Not good!"

As soon as Pound's exclamation came out, Gan Ning jumped off the pontoon bridge and disappeared into the water. Before there was time to react further, a series of falling water sounds came again.

"Knock Knock ......"

"General!"

Faced with his subordinates' proposal to shoot arrows into the river, Pound finally shook his head and said, "Deal with the people on the shore, he can't escape." ”

"Yes!"

As soon as Gan Ning left, the Liu army that was left behind naturally began to slacken, and was attacked from both sides, and after resisting for less than half an hour, they put down their swords and surrendered.

Those who do not surrender, their blood has already flowed into the Han River.

Is it that he who is wounded is shed into the earth?

After defeating the reinforcements from Xiangyang, Pound fell into hesitation.

"Attack Fancheng as planned? What to do with these captives? ”

"Continuing with the previous ...... That ......"

In the end, Pound chose to return to the previous camp, and then went to Gao Shun to pass the book on flying pigeons.

Dunse, the camp of the Ming army.

When Gao Shun got up in the morning, he happened to receive a summons from Pound.

"Pang Lingming really deserves to be a person valued by His Majesty, and his ability is extraordinary!" Gao Shun sighed with emotion and handed it to Chen Deng next to him.

After reading it, Chen Deng said thoughtfully: "It seems that Your Majesty is planning to expand the army again!" ”

Gao Shunhun didn't care: "The territory of the empire is vast, isn't it normal to have more troops?" ”

"Uh...... That's right! ”

Chen Deng was powerless to refute, but still said: "However, the Deputy Governor of the Western Army, the Deputy Governor of Gao Ran, the Deputy Governor of our army, and the Deputy Governor of Zhang He and the Deputy Governor of Tai Shici, these are all generals who can dominate the town, if Your Majesty also straightens General Pang, is the number of expanding troops too much?" ”

"Besides, now that the land of Jingxiang is about to fall, the empire is about to be unified, and there are many places where money needs to be used at that time, will there be problems?"

Gao Shun said strangely: "Since you are a soldier, then you should be a soldier well, what do you care about?" ”

These words were like thunder exploding in Chen Deng's ears, making him figure out a lot of things.

After a long time, Chen Deng got up and bowed deeply to Gao Shun, and said, "Du Du's words woke up the dreamer, thank you!" ”

Gao Shun accepted it without any psychological burden, and said at the same time: "What does Changshi think of what General Pang said?" ”

Chen Deng cleaned up his mood and said: "In the end, the siege is at a disadvantage, since it can cut off the connection between Fancheng and Xiangyang, this capture of Fancheng is no different, and maintaining the status quo may be the best policy." ”

Gao Shun nodded, put away the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and got up to leave.

Chen Deng sat down again, but his mood was very different.

Your Majesty wants to separate the military from the government? It seems that in the future, it will be necessary to deal less with the Minister of State of the DPRK and the Central Government, otherwise it will be over when he will be implicated because of this.

After the meal, Chen Deng pondered again, and then quietly sent a letter to his father.

About three days later, Chen Jue received the letter, and after reading it, he directly destroyed it.

However, the next day, it was as if he had asked the prince to resign because of his advanced age. To the surprise of all the ministers, Gongsun Yi agreed after only a little thought, but after retreating from the court, a carrier pigeon with obvious strength and strength rose into the air and flew towards a certain destination.

Except for the people in the ministry, no one knew that not long after, Chen Ying, Chen Bao and others resigned. They are distributed in several places in the empire, but they are all descendants of Chen Qi, or sons or grandchildren.

Another month and a half later.

Chen Qi, who was idle at home, received the holy decree again, but his official position changed a lot and he became the commander of the Chinese army. and Shi Li Ru, the former commander of the Central Army, was promoted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and became the Left Inspector of the Imperial History. At the same time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was reorganized, and Tian Feng was appointed as the imperial history of the capital, which was a product and a fake festival; Guo Jia is the deputy capital of the imperial history, from the first product; Under it, there are left and right supervision of the imperial history, is the second product, from the second product; As well as the inspection of the imperial history, is the eighth product.

Such a change was very strange to the ministers of the DPRK and China. Only a few people perceived the problem and made changes.

As a result, the number of officials in the army and the court who resigned increased, but except for Gongsun Du, the crown prince Gongsun Yi, and the officials, others were almost unaware of it.
