In the middle of the day, the camp in Ganling

"Zhonglang will have urgent military affairs to summon the generals in the army?"

Gan Ling, who had led the troops for a long time, stood in the tent with a little bit of the majesty of the general, his face was a little surprised, he repeatedly looked through the warrant of the visitor, and after confirming that it was correct, he returned the warrant to the visitor.

"Exactly, please go to the city quickly."

Gan Ling nodded, he led the troops to be stationed outside the city, and Shaanxi County became a corner, Niu Fu would send someone to give orders in advance whenever he had an important matter to raise the account and gather the generals in the army.

"Please also wait a moment, after this Sima has finished arranging the affairs of the army, he will enter the city immediately."

After Gan Ling finished speaking, he first asked the guards to invite the people from the city to wait in a special tent, and then summoned several military officials in the battalion, and after instructing some military affairs in the battalion, he personally ordered a team of guards and was about to leave for the city.

"Sima is a little slow, and his subordinates still have something to report."

Before leaving, a military officer in the battalion suddenly spoke up and dissuaded Ganling.

"What else?"

Gan Ling looked at the military official a little strangely and asked, the military official hesitated for a moment, and then approached Gan Ling's side and said softly:

"The battalion has just learned that not long ago, the city had sent additional cavalry scouts to patrol the north bank of the river, which happened to be not far from the time when the secret envoy set off, and now the city suddenly called a military council, I am afraid——"

This military official was one of the Fei Lian cavalry that Ganling brought to the Niu Auxiliary Army, and now he has also accumulated merit to achieve the position of a military candidate in the battalion, and he is Ganling's henchman, and he also knows some about sending secret envoys to contact Hedong, so he has some doubts about the sudden summoning of generals in the city this time.

Gan Ling listened to the words of this confidant soldier, and his heart also chuckled, recalling that the laiqi who had just come to give the order did not seem to be a familiar face, he was a little more vigilant in his heart, but he did not show his expression, and said with his chin bowed:

"I know about this, there is no need to mess with myself, the departments guard the camp, and I will deal with it carefully."

After saying this, Gan Ling strode out of the tent with a team of guards, and together with the herald, they mounted their horses and set off, and left the camp for the city.

There are only a few miles away from entering the city, some of the guards of Ganling are in front of the road, some are guarding in the rear, everyone is riding horses and whips, the sound of horses' hooves is brisk, and soon they have seen the earthy yellow city wall of Shaanxi County.

Before, Ganling was far away, and he had already seen that there were many soldiers guarding the city wall today, and the vigilance in his heart was even stronger. As he approached the city wall, he suddenly slowed down his horse, and the guards also reined in their horses and surrounded Gan Ling and the herald's rider in the middle and guarded them.

"In the next few days, Zhonglang will be in the house, can you eat and live well?"

Gan Ling suddenly asked the herald's rider.

Seeing Gan Ling's serious expression, the herald's laiqi was shocked, and he hurriedly replied:

"General Zhonglang is naturally fine in the house."

"No, I just heard yesterday that Zhonglang will go to the master's house in the city, how can he live in the mansion?"

Niu Fu placed the group of witches in the city, and when he went to find the group of witches in the past, he would live in their residence for a few days, which was something that Niu Fu's henchmen and cronies all knew, but the herald came to ride but did not react just now, so he was drunk by Gan Ling.

Laiqi looked nervous, but still resisted the panic and explained to himself:

"Yes, it means that Zhonglang will be all right in the house and in the master's house."

Listening to the explanation of Laiqi, Gan Ling still did not give up.

"Then since you are staying at the master's house, why did you suddenly gather all the generals in the palace?"

"This, this is naturally because of the military emergency, and General Zhonglang will temporarily return to Fuzhong."

Laiqi's eyes turned quickly, and while continuing to justify himself, he was also surprised in his heart where he showed his horse's feet, which made Gan Linghui suddenly vigilant.

"Then since the military situation is urgent, and all the generals in the army are convened to discuss the matter, why has Ben Sima's personal guards just learned that none of the other generals in the army have received the warrant for General Zhonglang to convene the military meeting?"

When the interrogation came here, the face of the rider who came to give the order had changed greatly, he clamped the horse, and was about to ride away in a hurry, but Ganling had already taken precautions, and the ape arm was wrapped, and he had already grabbed the hem of his armor first, and ripped him off the horse with a fierce force.

Two of the surrounding Ganling guards immediately dismounted, grabbed the fallen rider, and tied him to the horse.

And with the change just now, the soldiers guarding in the city also discovered the unusual situation of the suddenly stopped men and horses in Ganling, and the archers on the city wall had already been transferred to the direction of the team of men and horses in Ganling with the order of the military officials.

When Ganling saw that there was indeed something wrong in the city, he hurriedly ordered a retreat, and the guards around him also turned their horses' heads and escorted Ganling to the original road and fled back to their camp.

···

"What, Ganling went near the city wall, and even let Zhipo escape?"

In the hall of Niu Fufu's mansion, Hu Chi'er, who was standing, was like thunder, and several henchmen and subordinates around him who were involved in this matter saw Hu Chi'er angry, and they were also trembling when they thought of the consequences of the failure of this matter.

One of the subordinates said with annoyance.

"Now that Gan Ling has seen through our plan to trick him into the city, and has returned to the camp to support the army, how can this be good, if we wait until the master's solution is completed, return to the mansion and know about this matter, and investigate our crime of false military orders, how can this be good?"

Hu Chi'er glared at the subordinate fiercely, and his own brows furrowed. Niu Fu's temperament is becoming more and more difficult to guess these days, if they capture the ill-intentioned Ganling in advance, it will naturally be the first achievement, but at the moment, it is not enough to succeed and more than fail, but it has caused Ganling's defense and resistance in advance, and Hu Chi'er can hardly imagine how Niu Fu will treat them after he gets angry.

"At present, only by taking risks can we have a glimmer of life!"

Hu Chi'er thought for a long time with a gloomy face, and suddenly punched the pillar hard, and spit out such a sentence.

The other subordinates were all frightened by Hu Chi'er's face, they looked at each other, and asked suspiciously:

"What do you mean by that?"

"Sima Ganling colluded with the state soldiers to plot a rebellion, and on the orders of the lord general, he summoned the soldiers and horses in the army to attack him!"

···

Ganling Camp

"Sima, soldiers and horses have arrived on the east and south sides of the camp."

On the gatehouse of the camp gate, a garrison officer reported to Gan Lingyu with a stern face the arrival of soldiers and horses outside the camp discovered by the scouts.

"I see."

At this time, Gan Ling had already learned about Hu Chi'er's plan from the commander who was captured back to the camp by himself, and at first he was also annoyed that he was concerned about the chaos, because he was too worried about the current situation in Shaanxi County and Hedong, but instead caused the messenger sent to Hedong to be caught by the patrolling cavalry, and the secret letter was also captured, which caused the disaster of today's soldiers and horses besieging his camp.

However, after calming down, Gan Ling secretly felt that Hu Chi'er, who had a gap with him before, faked the general order and wanted to lure himself into the city, and after the conspiracy was revealed, he led his troops to attack, which was not an opportunity for him to break away from Niu Fu and control Shaanxi County.

"On the east and south sides, have the scouts ever seen General Niu Zhonglang leading the troops in person?"

"I've never seen it before."

"Okay."

With the confirmation of this situation, Gan Ling also became more and more confident in his heart, presumably Niu Fu was still in the room of those witches at this time, and he had been kept in the dark about Hu Chi'er's fake generals.

But this is also just right, the east is the soldiers and horses in the city brought by Hu Chi'er, and the south is the closest Dong Cheng soldiers and horses from his camp.

The situation was urgent, and after figuring out the key points, Gan Ling did not hesitate, and immediately went down to the gatehouse, he ordered a team of personal guards, and then got on his horse, and galloped out of the camp in the direction of Dong Cheng's soldiers and horses in the south.

The fast horse galloped for less than five miles, and had already encountered the scout of Dong Cheng's soldiers and horses, Gan Ling immediately waved his hand to let the guards around him stop the horses, and at the same time sent a personal guard to contact Dong Chengjun's scouts, asking to meet Dong Cheng here.

After a few moments, Dong Cheng, who was stout and neatly draped, also rode his horse past his marching army of soldiers and horses, and brought a team of cavalry to meet Ganling.

When he saw that it was indeed Ganling, Dong Cheng's rugged appearance also showed a hint of suspicion.

He received the general order from Niu Fu in the city to suppress the rebel soldiers in the Ganling camp, and even Sima Ganling became the culprit of colluding with the state soldiers, but the general seal on the military order was not bad at all, and the person who gave the order was Hu Chi'er, a henchman around Niu Fu.

With these, coupled with the urgency of the military situation, Dong Cheng immediately agreed to Hu Chi'er to send troops to quell the rebellion. But he didn't expect that seeing that his soldiers and horses were about to arrive at Ganling's camp, at this time, Ganling, who was secretly colluding with the state soldiers, would actually come out of the camp and ask for an interview with him.

The fox was hesitant in his heart, but after seeing that Gan Ling himself was there in person, and the guards he brought were fewer than his own cavalry, Dong Cheng still stabilized his mind, rode his horse and went away from the crowd, and came to meet Gan Ling, who was acting abnormally.

"I don't know why Dong Sima suddenly led his troops here?"

Gan Ling saw Dong Cheng riding a horse, and immediately took the lead in asking questions.

"General Zhonglang will be ordered to come to crusade against the thieves."

"Who's the thief?"

"Who is the thief, Uncle Sheng knows himself!"

Dong Cheng reined in the horses while impatiently replying, letting the cavalry he brought to be on guard beside him, and successfully opened a safe distance from Ganling, who was known as the first Zhan.

"Presumably, Dong Sima mistakenly believed Hu Chi'er's false military order, so he led the troops to my camp to fight the rebels. Hehe, misbelieving treacherous words, privately transferring troops and horses, does Dong Sima know that his death is coming? ”

Gan Ling looked at Dong Cheng, who was cautious and extremely impatient, and he said with a sneer.

"What do you mean, General Zhonglang's military order, can it still be fake?"

Dong Cheng was immediately furious, he also knew that Hu Chi'er and Gan Ling had a grudge before, and he had never intervened in the battle between the two, this time he came on the order of Niu Fu's general, how was it a felony of Gan Ling's mouth to privately mobilize troops and horses.

Gan Ling looked at Dong Cheng's angry appearance, he and Dong Cheng have been colleagues in the army for some time, and they also have some understanding of Dong Cheng's personality. Knowing that he was becoming more and more angry on the surface, he was actually shocked, after all, Niu Fu's order this time was indeed a bit abrupt and unusual.

Gan Ling struck while the iron was hot and continued to take the opportunity to ask.

"Dong Sima thinks that it is the military order of General Zhonglang, so have you ever seen General Zhonglang himself, or is it the tiger talisman of General Zhonglang to mobilize troops and horses?"

Dong Cheng was speechless for a while, he naturally had never seen Niu Fu himself and the tiger talisman of transferring troops, but because Hu Chi'er was in a hurry, coupled with the urgency of the military situation, the matter was very important, Dong Cheng had to be ordered to quickly bring troops over.

At this time, he was suppressed by Ganling's fearless attitude, Dong Cheng also retreated in his heart, but he thought that although Hu Chi'er did not deal with Ganling on weekdays, it would not reach the point of falsely passing on military orders because of personal enmity, so he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart on the spot.

"If Dong Sima still has doubts, he might as well secretly send someone to check on the soldiers and horses from the city to see who is leading the troops, and who is having bad intentions and falsely passing on military orders."

Having said this, Gan Ling didn't say anything more, and immediately turned the horse's head and returned to his camp the same way, leaving Dong Cheng, who was hesitant, still stationed in the same place, thinking about the stakes in Ganling's words.

"Sima, what you just said, can you really persuade Dong Cheng's soldiers and horses to retreat?"

Ganling's horse returning to the camp was very fast, and the henchmen and guards who followed him also galloped all the way, thinking about the incident of Ganling's temporary camp and meeting with Dong Cheng, he couldn't help but be curious, and asked in a loud voice.

Gan Ling smiled coldly when he heard the inquiry.

"Hehe, Dong Cheng is brave and unstrategic, he intervenes in the bureau and has wisdom, my words are true and false, and it is enough for him to be in chaos for a while, which will inevitably cause him to hesitate and hesitate to use his troops, with such a gap, it is more than enough for us to concentrate our forces and first break Hu Chi'er's soldiers and horses in the east."
