Expedition

After the battle, Wen Qi began to organize the people to repair the city walls, clean up the corpses, and dredge the moat, and Fang Cheng took some Langzhong to start treating the wounded.

"System, what's going on with these Yellow Turban captives, they look like they've been brainwashed, and they've been thinking about the great sage and good teacher."

"To remove the bewitched state, you need to leave the Taiping Dao for three months before you can return to normal, and the time is reduced to one month due to the influence of the host's evil breaking attribute."

"Hey, that's not another month's worth of food for nothing."

The Yellow Turban Army will suffer a defeat, I don't know when it will come back, and nearly 5,000 Yellow Turban prisoners in the city is a hidden danger, and it is also a pressure on their own food, if it is a normal moment, they can still let these prisoners work and work, but the food cannot be planted in the city, now at this time, planting outside the city may not know when a group of Yellow Turban Army will come and snatch the food, external worries and internal troubles, Wenqi even felt that it was a mistake to choose Runan, if he chose a small city in a remote point, would it be better.

Fortunately, things did not develop on the bad side, Zhu Jun drove to Yingchuan with an army of 40,000 to suppress the Bocai army from Yingchuan to Runan, and Huang Pusong also rushed to Nanyang with an army of 40,000 to suppress Zhang Mancheng's 300,000 Yellow Turban Army.

Yan He, who came from Luoyang with Wen Qi, found the skeleton and fish skin of the bloodthirsty shark in the warehouse, and transformed a thousand bone spears and two hundred fish skin shields for Wen Qi.

Bone spear, level 5 white weapon, damage plus 5, fish skin shield, level 5 white shield, defense plus 3, water defense plus 5, Wenqi is assigned to his soldiers.

Although the crisis is temporarily lifted, Wenqi must seize the time to strengthen his strength as much as possible, as a rare city between Nanyang and Runan, which still belongs to the Han Dynasty, a large number of refugees pour in every day, and Wenqi accepts them all.

"My lord, I'm afraid our grain and grass will only be enough to eat for half a year, and if we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to last for three months." Li Gao is worried about Wenqi's behavior in accepting refugees.

"Soldiers are selected from among the refugees as much as possible, and the rest are those who are willing to participate in farming and labor, and those who are not willing to work will eat two meals a day, and those Yellow Turban captives will only use a bowl of gruel every day to hang their lives, and they will wait until they wake up from the spring and autumn dream of the great sages and good teachers."

Wenqi didn't know about the crisis of grain and grass, the ancient city was just a small city, and it couldn't support so many people and soldiers at all, but it was precisely because of the small, if you don't absorb the population, don't recruit soldiers and horses, with a population of 2,000, what can you do, no matter in the eyes of the Yellow Turban Army or the princes, there is only the point of being swallowed.

"Soldiers, now the Bocai Legion has regarded my ancient city as a thorn in the side, there must be scouts to monitor day and night, if you go back like this, I am afraid that it is the way of these Yellow Turban Army, it is better to stay in this ancient city to make contributions, in the future, I will definitely show the merits of your soldiers to the West Garden, these two thousand yuan, please also ask your soldiers to collect." Wen Qi said to the six hundred infantry from the West Garden.

"Then thank you, Lord Wen." The six hundred infantry from the West Garden could only secretly call out bad luck while taking the money with tears in their eyes.

"Report to your lordship, Zuo Zhonglang will invite Huangfu Song to attack Zhang Mancheng's army in Nanyang together." Li Gao came in to pray.

Huangfu Song's invitation is undoubtedly good news for Wen Qi, Wen Qi urgently needs food and grass to replenish military supplies, so he can only take it from the city occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, and he is now unable to attack the city, and even if it is defeated, it is difficult to defend, and cooperate with Huang Fu Song's army, there are many variables, even in the worst case, this Huang Fu Song will not let himself go hungry to fight.

"Tell the messenger that our army has just fought a fierce battle with the Yellow Turban Army, and it needs to be repaired urgently, but within a month, it will definitely set off."

Give one month, on the one hand, for the sake of their own troops to recuperate, and at the same time recruit new recruits to enlist, on the other hand, you can also see what the result of the duel between Huangfu Song and Zhang Mancheng is, and see if you can have a chance to grasp it.

The time of January passed in a flash, 2,000 recruits were enlisted in the ancient city, plus the original 2,000 soldiers and 600 people from Luoyang, a total of 4,600 people, Wen Qi drew 1,000 people from the recruits, and 1,000 veterans, leaving Gao Shun and Zhou Cang to guard the city, and rushed to Nanyang with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong.

At this moment, the two major battlefields of Yingchuan and Nanyang have been fighting for more than a month, whether it is the Yellow Turban Army or the official army, except for the soldiers defending the city, all the troops that can be mobilized are gathering in these two places, Wen Qi took Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong and fifty cavalry to reconnoiter and open the road in front, and Guan Yu took the infantry to retreat about a mile behind.

I thought that without the Yellow Turban Army, the road would be safe, but I was stopped by someone.

A group of about thirty or so bandits and bandits blocked the way of Wen Qi and others, and one person looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a brocade suit, a bird feather on his head, a bell, and a horizontal knife immediately blocked the front.

"Bajun Gan Xingba is here, the dog official in front of him will hand over the money and spare your life."

Wen Qi saw that this person was Gan Ning, but he was a little surprised, but this Gan Ning now looks a little immature, with dark skin, a good handsome young man, he has to wear a red brocade dress, hang a bell, and have bird feathers on his head, this taste is really, Wen Qi doesn't know how to evaluate, according to history, this Gan Ning is still a few years as a "brocade thief", maybe a few years later, Gan Ning's aura can afford this dress.

"Since you are from Ba County, why did you come to this Nanyang realm to be a thief?" Wenqi asked.

"Ha, the villagers, how embarrassed it is to always rob them, dog official, hand over all your horses, I Gan Ning has never seen such a good horse when I am so old."

Wen Qi shook his head and said, "You are just more than thirty people, and you dare to come and rob more than fifty of us?" ”

"Hey, Dog Officer, let me tell you, as far as the wine bags and rice bags from your court are concerned, I can beat a hundred of you alone." Gan Ning said proudly.

Zhang Fei on the side was already about to rush out, but was grabbed by Wen Qi, and Huang Zhong's face on the side also darkened, and his hand had begun to quietly hold the bow, although he followed Wen Qi, who was born as a half thief, he still looked down on other thieves.

Gan Ning, a level 7 purple general, has 84 force, 71 dominance, 61 intelligence, 51 politics, 68 charisma, and 25 might.

Attributes: Armor level 7, defense increased by 21 points; Gangfeng level 7, increases damage by 35 points when holding a weapon, level 7 of attribute water combat, and increases surface combat force and dominance by 28 points.

"You're so confident?" Wen Qi pinched a sweat for him, that is, Gan Ning will have to suffer a big loss today if he exerts his ability to rob the camp with hundreds of horsemen in the future, not to mention that he is still an immature boy who does not know the height of the sky, and he has not even learned a skill.

"Shoot the feathers off his head!"

Huang Zhong had already opened the bow, Gan Ning was still looking at the sky, not looking at the people on his side, Wen Qi was afraid that Huang Zhong would shoot Gan Ning to death, so he let Huang Zhong just be a feather on his head.

Huang Zhong shot an arrow, and the arrow grazed Gan Ning's hair, Gan Ning came back to his senses, checked it, and found that he didn't have anything, only two feathers floating in the air.

Gan Ning let out a cold sweat and said, "This doesn't count, the one I said is a hundred, not archery." ”

"Hahaha," Wen Qi was amused by Gan Ning, and said: "I am the left and right generals, you choose one of them, if you can win, I will pay you, how about it?" ”

"Is that true?"

"Naturally, take it seriously!"

"I don't believe the one who released the arrow, I can't beat you." Gan Ning pointed at Huang Zhong and said.

Zhang Fei on the side saw that Gan Ning chose Huang Zhong and didn't choose himself, thinking that Gan Ning underestimated him, so he rode his horse and galloped out, shouting and saying: "The lord, the eldest brother is not resting, this kind of thief, I am here." ”

Gan Ning saw Zhang Fei coming towards him, so he said: "It's okay for you black bear to come first, if you win the battle, then hit the one who released the cold arrow." ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he was even more furious, and the fine iron snake spear went straight to Gan Ning, and Gan Ning blocked it with a horizontal knife, but he felt a huge force coming towards him, and he almost couldn't hold the knife steadily, so he immediately shook his spirit and took out all his self to fight Zhang Fei.

The two sides have fought back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, Zhang Fei has grown into a golden general, and has weapons and horses, so that Gan Ning only has the power to resist, and Wen Qi saw that Huang Zhong was full of contempt, and he already had a plan to surrender Gan Ning in his heart, if Huang Zhong still looked at Gan Ning with contempt for bandits and bandits in the future, with Gan Ning's character, the two were afraid that they would have a contradiction, and if the two became generals in the future, this contradiction would even lead to military cooperation.

"Why don't Han Sheng try this person's catties?" Wen Qi said to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong had long wanted to go up and slaughter the thief with a knife, but seeing that the lord didn't seem to have the intention of killing him, he was preempted by Zhang Fei before he did it.

"Yide rests for a while, let my brother fight this thief."

Huang Zhong flew out, Zhang Fei was fighting, and when he saw Huang Zhong coming, he was unwilling to fight two or one, so he could only retreat.

Huang Zhong was imposing, the fine iron knife was flying, like a vicious wolf's bloody mouth about to bite off a piece of meat from Gan Ning's body, and after a short period of defense, Gan Ning also adjusted in time, after all, the foundation of the famous general is here, and he has lasted for a while.

Twenty rounds later, Huang Zhong's fine iron knife slashed horizontally, and Gan Ning resisted with the knife, but when he heard a "clanging bell", Gan Ning's knife was broken into two.

Originally, Huang Zhong only needed one knife to end the battle, but in the end, he left a sentence: "Find a good knife and try again." Then he turned his horse back.

Seeing Huang Zhong coming back, Wen Qi stepped forward and said to Gan Ning, "How is it?" ”

"I lost both games." Gan Ning said dejectedly, looking at the knife that was broken in two, and it hurt a little.

"I am Runan Tai Shouwenqi, today you are willing to surrender to me, under my command, how about I send you a good knife?"

"Nope." Gan Ning looked up and said.

"Why?" Wenqi felt that this Gan Ning seemed to be a little out of the routine.

"I'm afraid that I will surrender you, and I will be deceived by you, so I will be arrested and sent to see the official."

"I'm an official, why should I arrest you to see an official again, besides, do I have to lie to you now?"

"That's not necessarily, if I can't beat it, can I still run away?" Gan Ning seemed to be in the spirit again, looking eager to try and run away.

That's it, Wen Qi really obeyed this guy, he didn't want to come down today, won't it be long in the future, put a long line to catch big fish.

"In the future, if you can win against my two generals, I will give you a good knife."

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

"I'm going to be like the iron knife I just had."

"I'll give you the same fine iron knife."

"Okay, official, it's a word, I'll come to them once when I have time."

"If you say it, come to the ancient city to find me."

After receiving Wenqi's reply, Gan Ning was very happy, beckoned his brother to go back, and after walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Guan'er, I didn't rob anything today, and I borrowed a couple of dollars to buy a wine to drink." ”

"This is hardware, take it well, do less robbery, and be a thief is not the right thing after all."

"I know, you're an interesting official." With that, he left.

Zhang Fei on the side couldn't stand it, and said, "Why don't you let me shoot the guy who doesn't know how thick the sky is?" ”

Wen Qi didn't answer yet, but Huang Zhong on the side said: "Yide don't be reckless, this person has this ability at a young age, I'm afraid I was not his opponent back then, if I was a general under the lord's account, I will be a tiger general in the future." ”

Huang Zhong's words made Wen Qi very pleased, from disdain to appreciation, Huang Zhong had already figured out the purpose of letting him fight with Gan Ning.
