Wu Guotai persuaded him hard, but Sun Quan had his own considerations.

No matter how good and reasonable Wu Guotai said, Sun Quan was unmoved, and finally acted according to Sun Quan's wishes.

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

Sun Quan reached an agreement with Yu Ban and sent an order to Gan Ning, who was stationed at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, to remove him from all his posts and hold him accountable for the loss of Guangling Port.

After receiving the order, Gan Ning handed over the military power to the Sanjiangkou guards.

He did not go back to Jianye, but went to Yangzhou first, met Zhou Yu, and wanted to ask Zhou Yu what was going on. In other words, he wanted Zhou Yu to save him. Because in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu has always had the final say in matters in the army, even if Sun Quan has given an order, Zhou Yu can give it or not.

However...

When he arrived in Yangzhou and met with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu beat him for twenty boards.

never expected that Zhou Yu would also hold him accountable for the loss of Guangling Port.

Gan Ning was taken out of the prison car and sent back to Jianye for trial.

This series of things did not alarm too many people, and those in the know were none other than Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and several senior generals. But they also don't fully understand why Ganning was demoted. It is also unclear what the agreement reached between Zhou Yu and Yuan Xi was reached.

In this way, Gan Ning was treated unfairly.

He was sent back to Jianye.

"My lord, in the battle of Guangling Port, the last general led his troops to inflict heavy losses on Yuan's army and captured a large warship, how can he be blamed?" Gan Ning saw Sun Quan complaining.

"You lost Guangling Port, the sin is unforgivable!"

"It's... Guangling Port is just a small port, originally occupied by the Yuan army, they have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the last general is only 3,000. How can you keep it? ”

Gan Ning explained.

If it was before, Sun Quan would not mention the matter of Guangling Port at all, and he would reward Gan Ning heavily, but now that he has reached an agreement with Yuan Xi, he can only face the scalp and blame Gan Ning.

"No matter what you say, losing Guangling Port is a felony and has to be punished! From now on, remove you from all your duties, and go back and think about it behind closed doors. And also.... Sun Quan almost gritted his teeth and said: "Come on, drag Gan Ning down, and the staff will be fifty!" ”

Four soldiers rushed in and dragged Ganning out.

"Lord, lord..." Gan Ning shouted anxiously. It's not that he's afraid of being beaten, fifty boards is not a big deal for him. He felt wronged and was very unhappy.

Sun Quan ignored him.

The four soldiers who dragged Gan Ning did not give him a chance to speak, and quickly dragged him outside the hall.

Bang bang bang...

In front of many civilians, soldiers, and soldiers, he was scolded with fifty boards.

"General Yu, you should be satisfied now, right?" Sun Quan found Yu Ban.

"It's not enough, we have to force Gan Ning away..." Yu Ban said.

"What?!"

Yu Ban seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "Ming Gong, I remember you said that Gan Ning was Zhou Yu's person, and when Ming Gong removed him from all his positions, he did not come back for trial, but went to Zhou Yu. Ming Gong can use this as an excuse to punish him again! And then... The motive for sending people to assassinate them is to eradicate dissidents. In this way, Gan Ning could not get the trust of Ming Gong and was abandoned by Zhou Yu, so he could only take refuge in my lord. ”

Sun Quan: ".... ”

Since he had decided to abandon Gan Ning, although he was angry in his heart, he did not refuse to forbidden.

In the following days, Sun Quan punished Gan Ning several times. not only held him accountable for Guanglinggang, but also punished him every once in a while in the name of his disloyalty, and even put him in prison.

And Jiangdong Wenwu, including Zhou Yu, no one interceded for Gan Ning, and no one asked about this matter.

Everyone watched Gan Ning suffer an injustice.

Until a few days later.

Yu Ban took a group of people to find the cell where Gan Ning was held. rushed in like this, killed the soldiers guarding the cell, and rescued Gan Ning. Take Gan Ning to the inn.

In order to make the trick real, Sun Quan sent a car to get off the tiger soldiers and search for the robbers in Jianye City.

Anyone who was suspected was arrested.

The post house where Yu Ban was located also faced a search, but Yu Ban, as an envoy, repelled the soldiers who came to search.

It's a big deal.

Gan Ning did not doubt at all that this was a prison robbery planned by Yu Ban and Sun Quan.

In the room.

Yu Ban sat opposite Gan Ning and said, "General Gan, have you thought about it?" ”

"Think of what?"

Gan Ning didn't understand Yu Ban's words.

"Two days ago, I suggested that you... Come with me to Hebei and take refuge in my lord.... Yu Ban reminded him. In fact, Yu Ban casually said this suggestion at the time, testing Gan Ning. At that time, he had just been released from prison and was chased by the tiger soldier under the car, how could he be in the mood to think about it, two days passed, and Gan Ning actually forgot about it.

"Although I am suspicious of my lord, I have no dissent, how can I go elsewhere?" Gan Ning Road.

"So what do you do now? Where to turn Sun Quan in? ”

"It's... Let me think about it again, in short, thank you for saving your life, but I won't go to Hebei, let alone take refuge in Yuan Xi, so you don't have to say it anymore. "Gan Ning is also a loyal and righteous person, he has served Sun Quan for many years, and has been reused by Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, so it can be said that his kindness is like a mountain. Even if you are being treated unfairly, you can't leave with it.

"Okay."

Yu Ban nodded and said, "Let's put the matter of going to Hebei now." Let's just say that now, if you go to Sun Quan to surrender, you will have to be severely punished, and he will ask you, who saved you, what do you say? ”

Gan Ning raised his head and said, "If I go, I will never confess you!" ”

Yu Ban said: "Thank you." But.... Sun Quan will not let you go easily, he will be even more suspicious of you, and you will be really sad in the future. ”

"If you don't turn yourself in, you have to get out of here quickly, or it will still affect me." Yu Ban smiled and shook his hand: "In order to save you, I have dozens of lives in my hands, if I am caught, I will not be divided by the five horses?" ”

"You're right..." Gan Ning didn't want to be involved in the ban.

But...

Is there any difference between leaving Jianye like this and betraying Sun Quan?

Since you have made a mistake, you should admit it and face it.

After thinking about it, Gan Ning mustered up the courage to say, "I have decided, go and surrender to the lord." ”

"Huh?"

Yu Ban thought he had heard it wrong: "Are you really going to turn yourself in?" ”

"Hmm. I have to turn myself in! ”

"Okay...." Yu Ban said: "It's okay if you go and turn yourself in, I'll give you something, and you can save your life when it's critical." After saying this, Yu Ban got up and returned to the inner room, worked in it for a long time, came out with a bag and handed it to Gan Ning.

"What is this?"

Gan Ning took it and wanted to open it to see.

Yu Ban hurriedly stopped him: "No, no... You can't watch. If you see it, it won't work. When you are helpless and in critical condition, you give Sun Quan the tips, and he will not embarrass you. ”

"Thank you."

Gan Ning didn't think much about it, thinking it was something great.

Or a letter of atonement that Yu Ban wrote for him.
