At the head of the city, the torches make the city as bright as day.

Shen Tan was dressed in regular clothes, wearing a crown and a sword, standing on the city wall, leaning on the female wall and looking condescendingly to the east, his face was very solemn.

Shangyong is not far from the Ganning camp, and there is a fire in the camp, so it is easier to see clearly. When the shouts of killing started, and the Gan Ning camp did not turn into a fire ball, Shen Tan became worried.

"Hey." Shen Tan let out a long sigh. Soon after, the people and horses were clamoring, and Shen Tan could see two "Shen" flags condescendingly.

"Big brother, open the city gate quickly." Under the banner of Jing, Shen Yi shouted.

"Open the gates." Shen Tan waved his hand and ordered. Immediately, Shen Yi and Shen Ding led a large army into the city, and then closed the city gate.

Immediately decided to go down to count the number of people, and in tonight's battle, he was defeated by Gan Ning, but there were not many casualties. As for the exact number of dead and wounded, the number of people will be counted first.

And the night was chaotic, and there were many people who were separated and did not follow back.

In order to avoid being attacked by Gan Ning, the soldiers who came back late could only enter the city in hanging baskets.

Shen Ding went to count the number of people, Shen Yi, and Shen Tan brothers came to the city gate tower and sat down. The castle gate tower has built-in wine and food, which was originally intended to be celebrated.

At the moment, it can only be regarded as a stuffy drink. After Shen Yi entered, he sat down cross-legged and took a big sip of a glass of wine, Mi's wine, and the Shen family brothers also took a sip.

Speaking of which, the reason why Xinye is so strong is that the Shen brothers have also contributed.

Shen Tan didn't say a word, just watched his brother drinking alcohol. Shen Yi drank the wine and picked up the dishes and ate for a long time, then put down the chopsticks and wine glass, and said, "Big brother, tonight's defeat has caused a drop in morale. I'm afraid Shangyong City can't hold it. ”

The art of war is cloudy, win first and defend later, and it is impregnable.

Therefore, in the first battle of Hefei in history, Zhang Liao led his troops out of the city to fight Sun Quan, and returned victorious, so the morale of Hefei City was greatly boosted, and Sun 100,000 did not capture Hefei in his life.

And if you lose first and defend later, the situation is critical.

At this moment, the morale of the three armies has been taken away, the prestige of the two brothers has declined, and although there is still a battle strength in the city, I am afraid that life will not be easy.

Shen Tan was surprised when he heard this, and said, "I have a cursory look, and the soldiers should not lose much. Why is the second brother so depressed? ”

"My brother and I were defeated, and the eldest brother guessed how many soldiers and horses did Ganning have?" Shen Yi smiled bitterly and asked.

"Are there really only a few hundred?" Shen Tan was even more surprised. He thought that Shen Yi and Shen Ding's army were defeated because Gan Ning hid soldiers and horses, a small battalion of five or six hundred people, if the fortress was strong, it should not be a problem to plug a thousand people.

Gan Ning is famous, and if he breaks their brother's 3,000 elite soldiers with 1,000 elite soldiers, it is quite acceptable.

But if there were really only five or six hundred people, and they defeated their brothers' three thousand elite soldiers, it would be unacceptable.

"I glanced at it a few times, and there would be no more than seven hundred. Nagan Ning took the lead, and after being hit by the arrow, he was still brave and unstoppable. Although I had many soldiers and horses, he was scattered by himself. Then came the rout. If it weren't for the protection of the night, these 3,000 elite soldiers might have been slaughtered by Gan Ning. Shen Yi smiled bitterly and nodded.

Shen Tan gasped.

Prior to this, Gan Ning could only be regarded as a little famous, Yizhou Jinfan thief, Liu Bei's leading general, and Bowangpo made meritorious contributions in the first battle.

Therefore, the two brothers were very jealous of Gan Ning, and would rather stick to not being a shrinking turtle than fight with Gan Ning.

But they didn't expect it to be so powerful, with only a few hundred people, they defeated their brother's 3,000 elite soldiers, which was also terrible.

Defeated tonight, tomorrow Guan Ping's retreating brigade will definitely return.

The morale of the army in the city is low, the outside of the city is flat, and the morale of Gan Ning's department is high. Superior mediocrity is really dangerous.

"Let's count the soldiers first, and see how many people we have left before making a decision." Shen Tan thought that there was no good plan, so he could only say so.

"Hey." Shen Yi sighed and could only nod sullenly.

The two brothers sat in the gate tower for half an hour before Shen Ding pushed the door through the door. In the cold winter season, the cold wind is particularly stinging.

Shen Tan, Brother Shen Yi couldn't help but shudder.

But at this moment, he couldn't care whether he was cold or not, and Shen Tan opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Ding, how many people are left?" ”

"Two thousand, two hundred and thirty." Shen Ding's face was very ugly.

Although it is claimed to be 3,000 elite soldiers, the number of people who went out of the city to fight should be more than 3,100. That is, in this defeat, they lost more than 900 people.

And this loss of men and horses is by no means just a battle loss.

Shen Yi, Shen Ding saw very clearly that the soldiers killed by Gan Ning were only about 200 people, and maybe not even 200.

But the loss of more than 900 people, these 900 people, must have been because of the defeat, panicked, half of them were in a hurry, half of them deliberately, they did not return to the city, and dispersed.

Although the soldiers did not bring rations, everyone was from the mountains, and there were archers, and they could not starve to death when they entered the mountains, and after walking for a few days, they could go to other counties to avoid trouble.

But it's much better than working hard here in Shangyong City.

Shen Tan, Shen Yi's prestige is very high, and he can also govern the army, but it is obviously much worse than Wei Yan and Gan Ning, these top generals.

That's why this kind of thing happens.

"It's too late to regret." Shen Tan let out a long sigh, revealing a look of regret. If it weren't for the greed of the moment, he wanted to swallow the Gan Ning team, so he went to war, how could there be a disaster now?

Shen Ding lowered his head in shame, but it was his impulse that made him strongly want to go out of the city to kill the enemy.

"Big brother, is it a battle, or is it a surrender?" Shen Yi asked.

"Pacify the crowd first, depending on the situation." Shen Tan couldn't make up his mind, so he could only say so.

The Shen brothers are not resistant to surrender. More than ten years ago, when the world was not in turmoil, the two brothers raised an army.

Then Liu Biao wanted to occupy the three counties, and they surrendered to Liu Biao.

At this moment, Guan Ping wants to occupy the three counties, and it doesn't hurt for them to surrender.

The reason why they resisted was because they were suspicious of how the Guan family would treat their brothers. The two brothers are a soil overlord in Shangyong, and they are at ease, but they are extremely reluctant to have the power in their hands.

This is also the reason why to surrender or not to surrender now.

............

It is very dangerous to march in the middle of the night. So there was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Guan Pingcai led 3,000 men and women to interrogate, as well as 8,000 men and women led by Ma Liang, Ma Yan, Zhou Xiong, and Li Fei, and returned to Shangyong City.

The army was encamped, and the big tent of the Chinese army was erected first. The trial presided over the camp, and Li Fei and Zhou Xiong were guarding outside the door.

Guan Ping sat on the handsome seat, Gan Ning, and Ma Jian sat on both sides.

The battle was won, but the atmosphere was not jubilant.

The main thing is that Guan Ping is beaming, Ma Jian is calm, and Gan Ning is very calm.

Ma Jian is practiced, one in the hall, a stable one.

Gan Ning has seen a big scene, compared with the big scene, last night's battle was just a small test, and Captain Gan was naturally very calm.

Guan Ping was overjoyed, but when he saw that Wenwu was like this, he was also a little disappointed, so he also pretended to be calm and asked, "Brother Shen lost a game last night. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I should attack the city. What do you think? ”

"Brother Xian, today I will personally attack the city to ensure that I will break through the mediocrity within one day." Gan Ning was very calm, but his voice was like a landslide, and there was a momentum of pushing mountains and filling rivers.

Guan Ping was satisfied when he heard this, he was worthy of the general Gan Ning, and he was about to respond in one bite. Ma Yan arched his hand and said, "My lord." I have a plan that works together. ”

"Say."

Guan Ping had to swallow his words and asked.

"In the battle last night, Captain Gan bravely broke the enemy. The city must be frightened, and will never dare to go out of the city to fight. He could take advantage of the prestige of Captain Gan and order Li Fei and Zhou Xiong to lead 4,000 men and women to use the banner of Captain Gan to set up camps in the north and south of the city respectively, bluffing. Captain Gan is still in the east of the city. ”

"The art of war is missing one of the three. If the Shen brothers are afraid, they must flee from the west of the city, and they can be chased and killed. ”

"If the Shen brothers defend the city and don't know where General Gan is, they must have divided a large number of men and horses to guard the north and south of the city, and General Gan will attack the east of the city and take it in one fell swoop."

"If the brothers of the Shen family are afraid, it is best to go out of the city and surrender."

Ma Yan was very calm and said quietly.

Guan Ping couldn't help but nod when he heard this, this can be regarded as a suspicious plan.

It is also in accordance with the art of war, and the enemy is divided.

"Okay, order Li Fei and Zhou Xiong to lead 4,000 men and women to set up a village in the south of the city and north of the city. At noon, the drums beat to siege the city. Guan Ping ordered.

"No."

Gan Ning and Ma Tan agreed, and then Ma Tan came out of the camp tent and ordered Zhou Xiong and Li Fei to lead their subordinates and soldiers, as well as 4,000 men and women, to Lizhai.

So the fear in the city became more and more worried.

"Report to the Lord, Gan Ning is in the north of the city, and Gan Ning is in the south of the city, and the Lord, the camp in the east of the city is also a Ganzi banner."

In the battle last night, Shangyong City was already frightened. Although Tanma was active outside the city, he did not dare to get close to take a look, and could only see three Ganzi banners from a distance, which were set up in the east, south and north of the city.

Shen Tan, Shen Yi, and Shen Ding sat together in the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, and they were all worried when they heard that Tanma kept coming to report.

"These three places must be true and false. The men and horses in our city need to share the three gates, and although there are no enemy troops outside the west of the city, they also need to guard against changes. Gan Ning was clamoring, and the elite soldiers attacked. How to resist? ”

Shen Tan sighed, and then said to Shen Ding: "Brother Ding, if you go out of the city to see Captain Guan in person, you will say that my brother of the Shen family does not dare to stop the army, and is willing to surrender the city." ”

"Hey!" Shen Yi was quite unwilling, stood up and pulled out the saber at his waist, and cut off the previous plan with a sword.

"Hey." Shen Ding was also unwilling, tightened his fists, went and let go, sighed, went out of the Taishou Mansion with a few horsemen, and quickly rode out of the city gate and went to the camp of Ganning.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Guan Ping heard that Shen Ding rode his horse. With a smile, Gan Ning said to Ma Yan: "This Shangyong three counties are owned by me." ”

Immediately, Guan Ping led Ma Jian and Gan Ning together to personally go out to greet this person.

Although the name of this named Shending is not well known, Guan Ping has not yet entered the city, and the cave house is still one foot away, so he naturally wants to receive it wholeheartedly, so as not to fly the cooked duck.
