Chapter 335: Take Hefei lightly
Until now, the military marquis still thought that it was "Deng Da Man" who captured him, but some soldiers found out that this person was not Deng Da Man, and it was not even everyone they knew!
"Big ...... My lord...... He's not a big man...... Nor are our people! A soldier reminded the marquis.
"No...... Not Deng Da Man? This brother, this ...... Is there some misunderstanding...... Yes...... May you let go, let's sit down and talk slowly? ”
"No need, just hold it like this, I'll ask you a few questions now, remember, you only have one chance to answer each question, you have to choose well, if you answer wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Gan Ning looked at dozens of enemy soldiers without fear and said coldly.
"Yes, yes, you ask, you ask......" the military marquis hurriedly said.
"Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
"I want to live, I want to live......"
Gan Ning nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since you want to live, how can you live?" ”
"Listen...... Listen to your commands......"
Gan Ning nodded again and said, "Okay, good, the son can be taught...... So now I ask you to order them to lay down their weapons and all crouch in the corner, is there a problem? ”
"No, no...... Didn't you hear what this big brother said? Whole...... Squat in the corner ......"
After listening to the words of the military marquis, the soldiers hesitated a little and then threw down their weapons and obediently squatted in the corner, it seems that the prestige of this military marquis is not small!
"Very good, your answer is very correct, for the time being, your life is saved, you have to continue......" Gan Ning smiled and whistled.
I saw dozens of people dressed in all kinds of people's costumes, but holding a bright ring-headed knife in their hands, into the house, these people immediately divided into two groups, one to collect weapons on the ground, the other to carry the ring-headed knife to guard the soldiers squatting in the corner.
"I don't know if you are the heroes on that mountain and that waterway, you have always been convenient with people in the next place, and you have never offended anyone......"
"Don't talk nonsense......" Gan Ning's hand on the neck of the military marquis was slightly forced, and the marquis was immediately silent.
The soldiers who were squatting at the foot of the wall were slightly commotion when these people crowded into the house, but at this time they were unarmed, and the military marquis fell into the hands of the other party, and could only watch the other party surround them.
Looking at the frightened soldiers, Gan Ning said: "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately......"
Regardless of whether Gan Ning's words were true or not, the captured Yuan soldiers were a little calmer when they heard this.
Gan Ning handed over the marquis to a personal soldier, took off the clothes of Yuan Jun on his body and threw them on the ground, and said to the marquis: "Now there is only one last thing, you go and drive up all those who are sleeping......
The military marquis did not dare to object, and scolded Gan Ning's personal soldiers, and drove all the Yuan soldiers who were sleeping outside the house, and the unsuspecting Yuan soldiers suddenly became prisoners of Gan Ning's steps.
Gan Ning took down the enemy guarding the south gate without a single casualty, and he was also proud in his heart, but he quickly calmed down, and while ordering people to tie up all the prisoners, he personally opened the closed south gate, and the drawbridge was lowered, and Jiang Qin, who had long been lurking outside the south gate, immediately led a large army into Hefei, an important town in the north of the Yangtze River, which was very strategically located.
There was nothing to say about the next battle, Jiang Qin went straight to the county government and captured Yang Jie, who was snoring, Gan Ning led 5,000 elite soldiers straight to the barracks, and Yuan Jun raised his hand to surrender after a little resistance.
The Shu army suffered less than 100 casualties before taking the important town of Hefei in Huainan (only 23 people were killed in the battle), and completely annihilated the defenders in the city, including more than 4,500 prisoners.
If it weren't for Gan Ning to ask someone to report to Lei Bo, none of the enemy troops in the city would have thought of escaping. It turned out that according to Gan Ning's order, Jiang Qin had already sent 3,000 soldiers to block the eastern, western, and northern gates in the dark night, and gave Yuan's army an urn to catch turtles. However, Gan Ning considered that Lu Su had insufficient soldiers and horses, and was worried that there would be problems on Lu Su's side, so he ordered people to deliberately let go of some enemy troops, so that Lei Bo could get the news that Hefei had been captured and retreat from Lujiang as soon as possible.
The next day, the people in the city walked out of their homes nervously only to find that the city had changed the king's flag, to Gan Ning's surprise, the people immediately cheered after a short shock, many people even hugged each other and cried, how many years, they have been looking forward to being rescued They finally got what they wanted, how can they not be excited!
Gan Ning, who was arranging defenses with Jiang Qin in the county office, listened to the cheers that resounded throughout the city, and said to Jiang Qin with a smile: "The people's hearts are available!" The people of Hefei support our army so much, Yuan Shu will inevitably fold under the city even if he brings 100,000 troops! ”
Jiang Qin sighed: "Yes, it's only to blame Yuan Shu for shaving too hard over the years, he enjoys wine and food in Shouchun's palace, while the people of Huainan can only eat wild vegetables, leaves, grass roots and river mussels...... As a native of Jiujiang, I am very familiar with the situation in Huainan, Huainan has been rich in fish and rice since ancient times, and the people live a prosperous life, but as soon as Yuan Shu came, the whole Huainan immediately starved to death...... Looking at the poor appearance of the villagers, it is really not a good feeling in my heart! ”
Gan Ning smiled: "Don't be depressed, the hard days of the people of Huainan are coming to an end!" ”
"Yes, as long as the righteous division of my Shu Kingdom arrives, the people of Huainan will soon be able to live and work in peace and contentment!"
"We can't take care of other places now, but tens of thousands of people in Hefei City are waiting to be fed, and we have seized a lot of them this time, which can be used to help these people!"
"Yes, I'll find someone to do this right away!"
Gan Ning stopped Jiang Qin and said, "We are not good at this matter, and we are not clear about the situation in the city, we should find someone who is familiar with the situation and clever to do it!" ”
Jiang Qin looked at Gan Ning and said, "It seems that the general already has a suitable person to choose?" ”
"Maybe!" Gan Ning was noncommittal, at this time, a pro-soldier came to report, saying that there were three people outside the county government pushing a truck to find Gan Ning, originally this kind of thing pro-soldiers would not return, first, they were afraid that someone would assassinate, and secondly, Hefei had just been taken, where did Gan Ning come from to meet a few ordinary people, but this time they got Gan Ning's order in advance, so they came in to report.
Gan Ning said with a smile: "People are coming...... ordered someone to bring the three people in, and he briefly told Jiang Qin the origin of the three.
Zhang Shou and the three of them came to the lobby, bowed their heads, and Gan Ning smiled and helped the three of them up.
Zhang Shoudao: "The villain has long seen that General Gan is an extraordinary person, but he didn't expect that the general was actually a general under the command of the King of Shu, with 100,000 male soldiers...... Today's general relieved me of the people of Hefei in the city of water and fire, the general is the reborn parents of my Hefei people, and the villain kowtowed to the general on behalf of the people of Hefei! ”
Gan Ning hurriedly grabbed it and said, "This is not my credit, everything depends on the leadership of the prince and the soldiers." ”
Zhang Shou couldn't kneel, so he could only thank him in his mouth, and said: "Today, the general saved the villain brothers from fire and water, and the villain brothers had nothing to repay, so they were willing to ask the general to accept them, and then the villain brothers were willing to lead the horse for the general, and they were willing to die!" ”
Gan Ning shook his head and said, "The laws of my Shu Kingdom stipulate that the army does not have the right to recruit soldiers, and those who violate it will be punished severely, and I can't agree to your request." ”
"Then, if we don't join the army, we can be the general's slaves!" Zhang Shou said again.
Gan Ning said: "This is not appropriate, if you really want to repay me, I do have one thing I want to find someone to do now, I don't know if you are willing?" ”
Zhang Shou hurriedly said: "General, please command, the villain will fight for his life, but also for the general!" ”
"It's not necessary to ......" Gan Ning smiled: "That's the case, General Gongyi and I saw that the people of Hefei were living a difficult life, and we couldn't bear it, and we planned to open a treasury to relieve the people, but the two of us didn't know much about the situation in Hefei, and we also had to concentrate on military affairs to prevent the Yuan army from counterattacking, so I want to leave this matter to you to do, can you do it well?" ”
Zhang Shou was overjoyed and said: "The general's move is to save me tens of thousands of villagers in Hefei from dying, the grace is immeasurable, the villain on behalf of the people of the city to thank the general for his grace, the villain to the general ordered a military order, if there is the slightest difference, the villain raised his head to see the general!" ”
"Okay, I will order you to go down and send a team of soldiers to help you, and after you go down, you will specify the people who need help according to the living conditions of the people in the city, and the standard will be 20 catties for children over 15 years old, and 15 catties for children under 15 years old, and you must put the food in the hands of those who need it, and don't waste food for those rich households, understand?"
"Yes, general, please rest assured, the villain will personally deliver the grain to those who need it, and never waste a grain of grain!"
"Okay, go ahead, do a good job, I'll find you another errand when you're done!"
"Thank you, General Gan, General Jiang, the villain is retiring!"
Zhang Shou only took one day to distribute the grain to the hands of the poor people, for a time the people of the city of Shu and the Shu army were known as the Buddha of ten thousand families, only one day of effort, the vast majority of people in Hefei City became the absolute supporters of the King of Shu. Later, Gan Ning saw that Zhang Shou and the three were careful, so he arranged for them to work in the Yali of Hefei County.
