Gan Ningzi Xingba, a native of Shudiba County, was originally a rich son in Brazil, familiar with water since childhood, his father was a county official, and was bullied to death by his colleagues. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Gan Ning killed the person who oppressed his father in a fit of rage, and fled to the river to be a water thief. I heard that a Taoist with strong martial arts went to apprentice and learned a martial art, and his water skills were high, and he dominated the river. Because he likes to wear a bell, everywhere he goes, the bell jingles, and he is called a bell thief.

After a long time, he felt that there was no future for being a thief, and the wanted documents that happened to be aimed at him were also scattered, and the person he killed was not killed. So he returned home to concentrate on studying and practicing martial arts, and was favored by the county adults and accepted as a small official.

In the first year of Xingping, after Liu Yan's death, Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang took over, and Liu Biao instigated a rebellion against the Ba people. Liu Zhang quickly sent troops to suppress it, and the Brazilian soldiers were outnumbered and defeated by Liu Zhang. Gan Ning was also forced to flee to Xiangyang. Liu Biao looked down on Gan Ning as a thief and refused to include it. Gan Ning had to wander in Xiangyang, and heard that Liu Shi was unrestrained in employing people, and with the mentality of giving it a try, he deliberately made trouble in Fancheng to attract Liu Bao's attention.

Liu Bao went to catch the troublemakers and found that Gan Ning's martial arts were extraordinary, this Gan Ning also admired Liu Bao, explained the reason, Liu Bao did not dare to be slow, and reported to Liu Shi. It just so happened that Liu Shi came back from Lantian to make a fuss. Immediately recruited Gan Ning to see, after research, he was really talented, his martial arts were also good, and what was even more gratifying was that he was proficient in water warfare, and was immediately given the title of captain of the building, and secretly sighed that Liu Biao "has eyes but no beads, only born and employed." ”

Liu Shi took Li Ru, Liu Zhen, Shi Lian, and Gan Ning back to the Lantian Marquis Mansion, Liu Hu came to see him, and told Guo Yan and others to send the emperor to Xinfeng, Guo Yan repented, Yang Ding, Dong Cheng and others refused, Guo Yan urged the troops to attack, lost to Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, retreated to Chiyang and reconciled with Li Xu, and led the troops to pursue Dong Cheng and Yang Feng again.

Liu Shi was furious, and ordered Zhao Yun and Fa Zheng to immediately take 1,000 soldiers to guard the pass, 1,000 caravan guards, 2,000 village warriors and 100 light cavalry, a total of 4,100 to pursue Li Xuan and Guo Yan.

When Li Ru heard the news, he hurriedly came to meet Liu Shidao: "It's bad, Zilong will chase after him, Zhang Ji will definitely fight with Li Ji and Guo Yan, and the Son of Heaven will suffer." We have to go to the aid quickly, and then Zilong will be frustrated.

As he was talking, Huangfu Li came with 1,500 cavalry, which was the 1,000 light cavalry and 500 soldiers of Shangyu County that Liu Shi had left in Shangluo.

Liu Shi immediately made a decision, and asked Huangfu Li and Li Ru to take 500 foot soldiers to move slowly, and he and Gan Ning, Liu Zhen, and Shi Jian led 1,000 light horsemen to chase Zhao Yun.

As soon as they arrived in Huayin, Zhao Yun, Fa Zheng and others were defeated, and if they hadn't been trapped in the camp and blocked by the rear, they would have suffered heavy casualties. It turned out that although this townsman had been trained, he had never been through the battle array, how could he be able to meet the battle-hardened Xiliang soldiers. As soon as he took over, Xiang Yong was defeated, but fortunately, there was a trapped camp to defend it. Seeing that it was difficult for a while, Li urged to chase after the Son of Heaven. Zhao Yun and the others rested on the side of the road, discussing whether to chase again, and Duan Xuan, who was stationed in Huayin, led his troops to attack.

Duan Xuan had few soldiers, and seeing that although Zhao Yun and the others were defeated, there was still a group of Qu soldiers who were cleaned up, and they did not dare to move lightly, and retreated to hold the dangerous place.

Liu Shi ran over like a whirlwind with a thousand light horses, Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he saw it, came up to greet him, informed the reason for the failure, and asked Liu Shi to punish him, Fa Zheng bowed his head and was speechless.

Liu Shi has also experienced several battles, Zhixiang Yong can be used when he wins, he can use when he defends the city, and he will not be able to hold on to it when he encounters a fierce field battle.

I don't blame them, when they learned that there were only a few thousand Xiliang troops stationed in front, they immediately asked Zhao Yun to lead a thousand traps to cooperate with him and attack Duan Xuan urgently.

Duan Xuan was invincible and had to retreat.

Encountering warriors like Liu Shi, Gan Ning, and Zhao Yun, how could they retreat, except for some of the three thousand Xiliang troops who were killed, all were captured, and the military camp was also occupied by Liu Shi.

After getting supplies, Li Ru and Huangfu Li also brought people to come, everyone was an acquaintance, Li Ru knew Jia Xu who was attached to Duan Xuan, and through persuasion, Jia Xu and Duan Xuan agreed to surrender Liu Shizhong.

Liu Shi appointed Duan Xuan and Jia Xu to work in the army, and the 2,300 Xiliang troops, excluding the old and weak, still had 1,800 left, all of whom were included in Liu Shi's camp and continued to chase eastward.

Just after Huayin, he entered Hangu Road and met Li Xuan, Guo Yan and other troops.

It turned out that the Son of Heaven was in front, because the road was narrow, it was difficult for the army to deploy, and Yang Fengqian's army was blocked by Zhang Ji in Xin'an and could not be crossed, and the two sides were fighting fiercely. Liu Shi saw that countless palace maids and ministers were killed along the way, and he felt sad to see.

Seeing that Li Xuan and Guo Yan could not be quickly defeated, Liu Shi ordered Zhao Yun to immediately build a camp and pass in Huayin.

The mountains along this Tongguan Road are extremely dangerous, and even if millions of people are fortified, they cannot pass through.

The two sides were deadlocked for a while, and Peng Tuo and Guan Hai led 30,000 troops to arrive one after another.

Li Ru offered a plan to Liu Shi: "Now that Guanzhong is chaotic, we must beware of Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui taking the opportunity to come to fight, and the lord will quickly send people to Chencang, disperse the pass, Linjin Pass, and destroy the thieves in the land of Sanfu to appease the people." Stabilize the situation in Guanzhong. ”

Liu Shi nodded, and then ordered: "Peng Tuo led Wei Yan and Meng Da to take 10,000 elites to capture Chen Cang, and then enter and occupy Sanguan. Guan Hai led Gan Ning and Duan Xuan with 5,000 to seize Linjin Pass, and then control the Hexi Corridor. Zilong led Yan Rou to lead 20,000 to pursue Li Xuan and Guo Yan, and stationed in Huayin. Liu Zhen and Li Ru returned to Chang'an with more than 2,000 people, renovated Chang'an City, checked the population of Sanfu and the disaster situation of the people, and strictly prevented the reappearance of riots in Sanfu. ”

After the order was completed, he took Jia Xu and Shi Jian into Huayin City and waited for the news of the Son of Heaven.

Fifteen days later, Liu Zheng and Cao Xing again brought 30,000 men to reinforce Chang'an.

Liu Shi hurriedly asked: "Lu Su asked you to bring 30,000 troops to reinforce Chang'an, isn't this Nanyang empty?" Besides, there is a shortage of food in Chang'an, nearly 70,000 troops, and many people need help, how to solve the problem of grain and grass? ”

Liu Zhengdao: "The military advisor said: 'The land of Guanzhong is extremely important, not only the territory is wider than Nanyang, but also the passes on all sides, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. At that time, Gaozu was to Guanzhong and win the world, now the four seas are boiling, the princes are in their own way, the Son of Heaven is in trouble, the courtiers are robbed, if you can take back the Son of Heaven, rebuild Chang'an, and coerce the princes by the edict of the Son of Heaven, you should be able to save the Han family, build Huo, Yin Zhiwei, and make immortal contributions. The grain and grass division has arranged for personnel to be transported to Chang'an, and I am a few days late, which is also the reason for carrying grain. ”

Jia Xu heard Liu Zheng's words mentioning the military advisor, and his eyes flashed.

On this day, Shi Jian came to report: "The Son of Heaven and all the ministers have arrived in Anyi. ”

Liu Shi was shocked: "Didn't the Son of Heaven return to Luoyang?" How did you get to Anyi again? ”

Shi Jian said: "Although Li Qi and Guo Yan fought fiercely with our department, they still sent a department to pursue the Son of Heaven, and caught up with the Son of Heaven in Dongjian and fought fiercely with Yang Feng, Yang Ding and other departments. Yang Feng secretly summoned the Hedong White Wave thieves Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai and the Xiongnu Hu Chuquan to lead troops to help. With the assistance of these people, they were blocked by Zhang Ji and could not pass the customs when they went to Caoyang, and Li Qi chased after him in a hurry, so he had to cross the river from Caoyang to Hedong. For example, today Zi is in Anyi, but he has just escaped from a big disaster, and there is no food around him, and the situation is very bad. ”

Liu Shi said angrily: "This Li Qi and Guo Yan have lost their conscience and forced the Son of Heaven to come here." ”

turned around and asked Liu Zheng: "How much food do we have now, let's go and ask Wen You, Zishi, and Chang'an City how the situation is?" Sketch a copy of the stamp, and I will read it and then present it to the Son of Heaven. In the land of the three auxiliaries, there cannot be no one to shepherd and guard. Let the emperor come to see me. ”

Soon, Huangfu Li came to see him, and Liu Shi asked: "How is the grain and grass in Chang'an now, and has the watch seal been brought?" ”

Huangfu Li nodded and replied: "The grain and grass are enough for the half moon of the Chang'an army, and the seal is drawn up by Lord Li, please read it." ”

Liu Shi took a look, his face was gloomy, and then he asked Huangfu Li, "Can Jianyong go to Anyi on my behalf?" I sent Liu Hu to bring 500 elites to send grain to relieve the plight of the Son of Heaven, and asked Jian Yong to send this seal on his behalf. ”

Huangfu Li said: "I am willing to serve the king." ”

Liu Shi nodded and said, "There is Lao Jianyong!" ”
