In the spring of the 19th year of Jian'an (214), Cao Cao sent Zhu Guang to guard the Lujiang River, stationed in Anhui City (now Qianshan, Anhui), opened up rice fields, produced military rations, and sent spies to secretly cross the river, recruiting and tempting the forces against Sun Quan in Duyang (now Jiangxi), in a vain attempt to attack Sun Quan.

After Lu Meng learned the information, he suggested to Sun Quan: "The area around Anhui City is fertile and the land is fertile, if it is harvested in one season, Cao Cao's strength will inevitably increase, and if it is harvested for several seasons in a row, it will inevitably cause great trouble." In my opinion, it should be eliminated immediately. ”

Sun Quan adopted this suggestion and personally conquered the city of Anhui.

Sun Quan asked the generals, and everyone said that if you want to capture the fortified city, you must pile up dirt and mountains, and you must control the attacking tools.

Lu ** disagreed and said: "It takes a lot of time to pile up dirt mountains and control attacking tools. In that case, as soon as Cao's reinforcements arrived, it would be difficult to capture Wancheng. The only way is to storm and take Wancheng in one fell swoop. ”

Lü Meng recommended Gan Ning as the governor of Shengcheng.

During the siege of the city, Lü Meng personally beat the war drums to cheer.

Gan Ning held the Lian Suo, took the lead in the pawns, climbed the upper city, and finally captured the city of Anhui and captured Zhu Guang.

Zhang Liao heard Xun, led the reinforcements to Jiashi (now Tongcheng north), heard that Anhui City had been lost, had to retreat.

After the war, Gan Ninggong ranked second, second only to Lü Meng, and was worshiped as a general.

…… ……

When Gan Ning and Lu Meng were camping, Gan Ning went to Lu Meng's house and saw Lu Meng's mother, he bowed his head and bowed, saying that he had lost his mother since he was a child, and he really wanted to call "Mom" when he saw Lu Meng's mother.

Lu Meng's mother said, "Then your name is you." ”

Gan Ning kowtowed again, and really called Lu Meng's mother to her mother.

Lu Meng said, "Since you call my mother mother, then we have to be brothers." ”

Gan Ning still did not bow down, saying, "Who will bow to you?" I only worship my mother, what does it have to do with you? ”

When Lu Meng's mother saw that he was playing tricks, she stopped her son with a smile and said, "That's it, I'll just accept a son for nothing, what should I do?" ”

From then on, Gan Ning called Lu Meng's mother as his mother, and in front of him, Lu Meng was not allowed to call the old lady's mother.

Everyone knows that Gan Ning is cute and coquettish, and no one takes it seriously.

…… ……

Gan Ning had a concubine who had an affair with Gan Ning's subordinates, and she revealed the news and fled to Lu Meng's house. She didn't say that she escaped due to life style problems, but said that she had a few words with Gan Ning, and Gan Ning wanted to kill her, so she escaped. Lu Meng's mother hid her and didn't let Lu Meng send her back immediately.

Gan Ning knew that this little concubine must have fled to Lu Meng's house and let the old lady hide it, so she brought gifts to visit Lu Meng's mother.

After Gan Ning heard this, she knew what the concubine said to the old lady about her reason for escaping, so she followed the old lady's words and continued.

The old lady saw that there was nothing wrong, so she called out the little concubine and returned it to Gan Ning, who promised not to kill her.

However, Gan Ning led the concubine back to the ship, tied the concubine to the mast of the ship, and personally pulled her bow and shot her to death.

Then, the people on board were ordered to strengthen the ship's cables, untie their clothes and lie down in the boat.

The affairs on their side, someone on Lu Meng's side has long seen it clearly. reported to Lü Meng, who was furious, beat drums and gathered troops, and prepared to board the ship to attack Ganning.

Gan Ning heard the movement and deliberately lay down and couldn't get up.

Lu Meng's mother ran barefoot to dissuade Lu Meng: "The Lord treats you like flesh and blood, and entrusts you with great affairs, how can you want to attack and kill the general Gan Ning because of a little woman?" If Gan Ning dies, even if the Lord does not question you, it is illegal for you to do so as a courtier. ”

Lu Meng has always been very filial, and after listening to his mother's words, he understood in his heart.

He came to Gan Ning's boat in person and greeted him with a smile: "Xingba, my mother is waiting for you to eat, come ashore quickly!" ”

Gan Ning was very ashamed, choked up to Lu Meng with tears, and said, "I am disappointed by you. ”

So he went back with Lu Meng to meet Lu Mu, and feasted happily for a day.

- There is another theory for this matter, which says that it was not Gan Ning's concubine who fled to Lu Meng's house, but a child. If you are a child, there are many things that do not make sense.

…… ……

In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Gan Ning attacked Hefei with Sun Quan (see Battle of Hefei). The unfavorable situation of the war, coupled with the epidemic of plague in the army, had to order the withdrawal of the army. The large army had withdrawn from the battle, and only Lü Meng, Jiang Qin, Ling Tong, Gan Ning, and more than 1,000 Hushi under the Chexia were stationed north of Xiaoyaojin (present-day Hefei, Anhui) with Sun Quan.

Cao Cao's general Zhang Liao watched and took the opportunity to lead the infantry to attack, and Chen Wu was killed in battle.

Sun Quan's generals Gan Ning and Lu Meng struggled to resist, and the generals Ling Tong led the guards to fight to the death.

Sun Quan witnessed all this, and his respect for Gan Ning increased.

Under the heroic resistance of Gan Ning and others, the speed of Cao's attack slowed down.

Ling Tong led 300 troops to protect Sun Quan and break out of the siege. Sun Quan fled to Xiaoyaojin, when the river bridge was half demolished, and there was no board, Sun Quan hurriedly rode a horse to cross over. The general He Qi led 3,000 people to meet in the south of Xiaoyaojin, and Sun Quan was spared. After the battle, except for Ling Tong, none of the three hundred soldiers survived.

Ling Tong was the son of Ling Cao, and Ling Cao was shot to death by Gan Ning while attacking Huang Zu. Because of the hatred of killing his father, Ling and Gan had a deep contradiction, so Gan Ning also guarded against Ling Tong and tried to avoid meeting him.

Sun Quan ordered Ling Tong not to be an enemy of Gan Ning.

Gan Ning and Ling Tong gathered at Lu Meng to drink, the wine was hot, Ling Tong stood up and danced the knife, Gan Ning also stood up and said, "I can dance the double halberd!" ”

Lu Meng saw that the two had the intention of fighting, so he separated them in the middle and said, "Although Gan Ning can dance, he is still not as delicate as me. ”

So, he used a knife and a shield to separate the two.

Later, Sun Quan knew that Ling Tong could not forget his father's enmity, so he asked Gan Ning to lead his troops to be stationed in Banzhou.

But at the current critical moment of the great enemy, it is commendable that the two can put aside their personal grievances and unite against the enemy.

In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220), Gan Ning died, and Sun Quan regretted it very much.

…… ……

In the Song Dynasty, Gan Ning was named a god, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, he was even named "King Zhaoyi Wuhui's bereaved love Lingxian", and was able to build a temple to enjoy sacrifices, and was called "King Wu" in some novels. The crows gathered in front of the temple are called "sacred crows". Such as the "bamboo green" story in Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".

…… ……

Gan Ning's tomb is located in half of the mountain of Fuchi Town, Yangxin County, standing near the river and leaning against the military mountain. Covering an area of 66.7 hectares, including 53.36 hectares of forest area, it is the tomb of Taishou Ganning in the Xiling of Wu State during the Three Kingdoms, which was repaired by the local ** fundraising, because the original tomb was destroyed during the "**".
