Chapter 158: Gan Ning, the back-handed man
Guan Ping appointed himself as the county guard, Yang Wu Zhonglang general, appointed the county officials (Changshi, Gongcao, the main book), and the county order of the nine counties, which was a later matter.
First spread throughout the entire Fangling, Shangyong area, it was Guan Ping who defeated Jingzhou general Wang Wei on the rice grain mountain for a while, I heard that Guan Ping was wearing double armor, across the horse to fight, very brave.
Wang Wei then retreated and returned to Xiangyang, and then led his troops to reinforce Jiangxia, which is currently in the midst of a confrontation with Sun Quan.
After the news spread throughout the Fangling area, the reactions of relevant people were very mixed. People like Kuai Qi are of course relieved.
They belong to the people who surrendered, if Wang Wei's army captured the Fangling area, they would definitely be captured back to Xiangyang, even if Kuai Qi had a Kuai Yue cover, he was also terrified.
Not to mention the rest of the county orders and the like.
There are also indifferent, such as the original petty officials, the people, who are indifferent to who rules the Fangling area. However, the Guan army recruited soldiers in the Fangling area, and the conditions given were very lucrative, attracting many men in the prime of life to join the army.
The Fangling area is located deep in the mountains, and many men are both farmers and hunters, and several people gather together, carrying bows and knives, and dare to go into the mountains to hunt wild beasts.
In fact, the folk customs are relatively strong, and they are not exclusive to joining the army.
There are also people from the Shen family, who are a little disappointed.
Although Guan Ping gave Shen Tan to lead the Yong Taishou and led the troops as before, the power of the Shen family was well preserved. But what the future holds, who knows?
If the Guan family plans to stay in the Fangling area for a long time, they will have no taste for the Shen family, the emperor of the soil. Not to mention anything else, the general Gan Ning guarded the gate of Shangyong, as if it was a nail, nailed to Shangyong City, which made the Shen brothers very uncomfortable.
On the contrary, if Wang Wei enters the Fangling area, it will definitely be business as usual.
Liu Biao didn't have the energy to free up his hands and forcefully control the Fangling area.
At that time, the Shen family was still the Shen family, the soil emperor of the Fangling area.
Therefore, from Shen Tan, Shen Yi, Shen Ding brothers, to ordinary Shen family members, they all have expectations for Wang Wei for the battle between Wang Wei and Guan Ping, but unfortunately the news is very disappointed.
The Shen family has deep roots in Shangyong City, and all the clansmen are gathered in an area of the city, and there are dozens of men, slaves and maids, and many riders.
Shen Tan, the Shen Yi brothers are the main veins of the Shen family, and the two brothers guard an ancestral house. Shen Tan and Shen Yi have actually separated, Shen Tan often lives in the Taishou Mansion, Shen Yi lives in the ancestral house, and the two brothers take care of their own things.
Since the two brothers surrendered the city, they have often gathered together in the ancestral house. Without him, it is to discuss what to do.
To put it bluntly, the two brothers can be regarded as watching from the wall to see success or failure. If Wang Weisheng is victorious, the two brothers will dare to send troops to expel Gan Ning.
The two brothers are very confident in this, because the officials and people in this city are basically the henchmen of the Shen family, plus the army. Not to mention anything else, it was to lie in ambush on a nearby house, shoot arrows at the gate guarded by Gan Ning, set fire, and Gan Ning had to go.
And if Guan Ping wins, the two brothers will naturally continue to lie in wait.
And the facts have become clear, and the two brothers were disappointed when the news came.
On this day, the two brothers gathered together in the ancestral house to drink stuffy wine, and while drinking stuffy wine, the brothers did not forget to abandon the slave maid, so as not to leak their drunken words.
In the small hall, the two brothers showed sad faces while drinking. Shen Yi said with some anger: "That Wang Wei is known as the general of Jingzhou, second only to Wen Ping. Unexpectedly, even a little boy can't win. If he kills Guan Ping on Miliang Mountain, our brother will be able to take the opportunity to raise troops. ”
Compared with Shen Tan, in fact, Shen Yi is more ambitious.
In history, the surrender of the Shen brothers to Cao Wei was led by Shen Yi, and Meng Da was also led by Shen Yi, and finally this person was captured by Sima Yi and sent to the capital as an idle general.
"At this point, it's useless to talk about it. My brother and I can work under the Guan family with peace of mind. Speaking of which, Guan Ping is not bad to our brothers, let me continue to serve as Taishou and lead the troops. ”
Shen Tan is less ambitious and more open-minded. Although he was also very unwilling, he had no choice but to accept it.
"That's the case now, but I'm afraid it's just a temporary strategy to appease us. After waiting for a long time, I am afraid that I will be cut by the Guan family. ”
Shen Yi also talked a lot after drinking.
"That's also impossible, people have to bow their heads under the eaves." Shen Tan sighed.
The brothers were drinking and complaining when they heard a sound outside the door. "Two masters, Captain Gan sent someone to feast on the two masters."
Shen Tan and Shen Yi brothers were not surprised when they heard this, because since Gan Ning was stationed in Shangyong, he was very polite to their brothers and often set up banquets to entertain them.
And the two brothers also knew Gan Ning's name, and they flattered each other, and the two sides were very harmonious.
Therefore, the two were not suspicious, glanced at each other, adjusted their appearance a little, and then went out of the room, got into the chariot, and went to the camp in the east of the city under the escort of the entourage.
There are four military areas in the city, and four large battalions in the southeast, northwest, and north, which are garrisoned in wartime. At present, the eastern part of the city is occupied by Ganning.
After the two brothers came to this area, they saw Gan Ning standing in front of the door, looking forward to it. Seeing the two brothers, Gan Ning let out a hearty laugh, stepped forward to the side of the chariot, bowed and saluted, "Two brothers." ”
After drinking a few times, they got along fairly well, and the two sides began to call each other brothers.
"Brother Xian." Shen Tan, Shen Yi's brothers didn't dare to slack off, got out of the car, bowed and returned the salute. The two sides talked outside the door for a while, and the Shen brothers were led into the barracks by Gan Ning.
There are mostly row houses in the barracks, but Ganning has a big house, a lobby, a study, and a bedroom. Gan Ning led the two brothers to the lobby and sat down, and the soldiers had already placed the wine and food in advance.
Nothing else, started drinking. Gan Ning was very bold in persuading the two brothers to drink, and talked by the way, as usual.
Shen Tan naturally couldn't notice the abnormality, and while he was drinking, he also wanted to find out what was true and false. He put down the wine glass and asked Gan Ning, "Brother Xian." Wang Wei retired from the army, and Guan Xiaowei got three new counties, how do you plan to govern it? ”
In fact, it was to find out how Guan Ping planned to deal with them.
Will they continue to use them as mediocre guards according to their promises, or will they unload the mill and kill the donkey to reduce their power?
How do you know that Gan Ning suddenly turned his face and scolded him: "Shen Tan, what do you want to listen to the military situation?" ”
Shen Tan, Shen Yi was stunned, and Shen Tan hurriedly said, "Brother Xian, I didn't listen to the military situation." Gan Ning's charge was too blunt, and Shen Tan was shocked.
I just said, how are you going to govern it?
Shen Tan, Shen Yi brothers are not stupid, and now they know that something is wrong. But where would Gan Ning give them a chance, so he shouted: "Where are the left and right? ”
"Captain." A group of pro-soldiers who were ambushed at the door rushed in and met Gan Ningdao.
"These two men spied on the military situation, and they treated me even more disrespectfully, and tied them up and tied them to the pillars." Gan Ning said calmly.
"No." The soldiers responded to the promise, and immediately pounced, tied up the Shen brothers, dragged them out of the door, and tied them to the pillar.
Ganning took the bow and arrows, and the quiver followed.
Outside the big house was an open space, and in the open space, the Shen brothers were tied to two pillars and cursed.
"Gan Ning. If you want to kill our brothers, why bother looking for excuses, what to spy on the military is bullshit. ”
"Guan Ping, if you kill the people of the city, you will not die well."
Gan Ning sneered, stretched his bow and arrows, and the bowstring shook, and shot the Shen family brothers. After doing this, Gan Ning handed over the bow and quiver to his own soldiers, and said, "Drag these two brothers out and return them to the Shen family." ”
The obedient soldiers looked at each other this time. Gan Ning's deputy, Battalion Sima Xian, was not there, so an old soldier walked out and said stubbornly: "My lord." You killed the Shen brothers, not to mention that you killed the Shen brothers with lynching, it's not easy for Lord Guan to explain. It is said that the Shen family brothers still have thousands of elite soldiers in the city, and the Shen family is overwhelming. We should strike first and strike first. If we let the people of the Shen family know about this matter first and send troops first, wouldn't we be left behind? ”
Gan Ning sneered when he heard this: "No need to say more, just send the body back to the Shen family." If the Shen family dares to rebel, I will lead my troops to slaughter them. ”
"The Shen family is powerful, but the prestige is mostly in Shen Tan, Shen Yi brothers, the two brothers are dead, and the rest of the Shen family is just a plate of scattered sand. I forgive them for not daring to make trouble. As for Captain Guan's side, it doesn't matter. I'm a general, what's the point of killing two people? ”
Gan Ning's prestige is very high, and he explained again. The soldiers didn't dare to say any more, so they returned the bodies of the Shen family's brothers to the Shen family.
And as Gan Ning expected, although the Shen family was outnumbered, there were thousands of soldiers and horses. But the prestige is all on Shen Tan, Shen Yi's brothers.
Even their brothers of the same clan affirmed that their prestige was insufficient. After the bodies of the Shen brothers were returned, the Shen family was immediately in chaos.
Some people are as timid as a mouse and want to escape, but they don't dare.
Some people wanted to raise an army to attack Ganning, but no one agreed.
A mess.
After a long time, the Shen family reached a unified consensus. A man named Shen Ming was sent to visit Gan Ning.
This affirmation is in his forties, with a soft face and a very elegant appearance. Shen Ming was invited by Gan Ning into the lobby to sit down, and said cautiously: "Shen Tan, Brother Shen Yi disrespects the captain and has ill intentions, so he deserves to be killed by the adult." But the Shen family is innocent, and he also asked the captain to enlighten the captain Guan and pity the innocent members of the Shen family. ”
When Gan Ning heard this, he asked his soldiers to bring a bowl of wine, put it in front of Shen Ming, and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry." Captain Guan has always been merciful. The Shen brothers listened to the military situation and were killed with ill intentions, but they took the blame for themselves. This matter has nothing to do with the Shen family, and I will send Captain Guan to intercede for the Shen family. ”
"Thank you, Captain Kim." Affirm gratitude.
It's as nonsensical as that. Gan Ning used trumped-up charges to kill the two leading brothers of the Shen family, Shen Tan and Shen Yi brothers.
And it's tied up and shot.
Gan Ning used to like to do this, he was a thief who killed people without blinking, a thief with a golden sail.
The victim Shen family not only did not dare to come to take revenge, but had to carefully come to ask for mercy.
This is a political conspiracy that cannot be put on the table.
The reason why the brothers died was because they were too powerful. Guan Ping also knew that Shen Yi was a snake and rat and had to be killed.
Gan Ning is a hands-on person and a back-to-back person.
And the backstabbing man did it willingly.
Because Gan Ning is Guan Ping's confidant.
