After Ji Ling led the army into Bowang City, the soldiers left by Cao Cao immediately shot rockets, igniting the interference wood of the other party at the city gate, and the fire burned instantly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Cao Cao took the opportunity to break through from the south gate, the south gate was really weak, and after killing Bowang City, Cao Cao went all the way south and went directly to Anhui County.
Before arriving in Anhui County, Cao Cao encountered Huang Zu's army, Huang Zu asked Cao Cao about the war, Cao Cao reported to Huang Zu in 1510, Huang Zu immediately sent Gan Ning to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard, directly to Bowang City.
Gan Ning ordered all the soldiers and horses, marched at night, and when he arrived at Bowang City, the city gate had already been occupied by Ji Ling, and the opportunity had been lost, so Gan Ning had to lead his troops to retreat and wait for Huang Zu's army to come.
Attack and defense exchanged, after the arrival of Huang Zu's army, Ji Ling and Huang Zu went out of the city for a decisive battle, although Ji Ling lost thousands of soldiers and horses when attacking Bowang City, but the strength consumption was not large, and the number was still close to twice that of Huang Zu.
Gan Ning and Ji Ling went head-to-head, they were at a disadvantage, Su Fei took advantage of the situation to kill, Cao Cao also led his troops into the battle, the two sides fought a melee, each other won and lost, Ji Ling occupied Bowang City, still in the upper hand.
The battle between the two armies became anxious, and at this moment, Ji Ling's adviser gave him advice: "General, except for Gan Ning, no one in Huang Zu's army is the general's opponent, I heard that Huang Zu's son and Gan Ning have a grudge, so Huang Zu doesn't trust Gan Ning very much, why don't the general between Huang Zu and Gan Ning, if Gan Ning goes, no one in Huang Zu's army is the general's opponent." ”
When Ji Ling heard it, the method was a good way, but he didn't know how to operate it, and asked again: "What is the clever plan of the sir?" ”
"The general just needs to do this and ......"
The more Ji Ling listened, his brows gradually relaxed, nodded frequently, and finally said: "There is Mr. Lao in this matter, what you need Mr. can only use, you don't have to report it." ”
"Thank you, General!"
Ji Ling's advisers soon bribed Huang Zu's henchmen with a large amount of gold and silver, Huang Zu led the nepotism was very serious, most of the people in the army were his same clan, at this time someone received gold and silver, and immediately gave Gan Ning eye medicine in front of Huang Zu, saying that after Gan Ning went to fight Ji Ling a few days ago, he felt that his martial arts were extraordinary, but he was not valued by the general, and he complained in his heart.
Huang Zu didn't care about it at first, but then he slowly investigated, and found that Gan Ning's dissatisfaction with Huang Zu was really circulating in the army, and at this time, Huang Zu's son also took the opportunity to take eye medicine, saying that Gan Ning was self-respecting and arrogant, and did not take Huang Zu as the main general in his eyes at all.
As the so-called three people become tigers, Huang Zu had to believe it, he invited Gan Ning to ask, Gan Ning and him fought red-faced, after returning to the camp, he drank a few more glasses, and complained to his friend Su Fei: "If you didn't say that Huang Zu was good that day, why would I Gan Xingba secretly invest in Mingzhu now, no matter what, Huang Zu is difficult to make a big deal, Liu Biao really misbelieved Huang Zu." ”
Su Fei's face was horrified when he heard these words, and then somehow, these words reached Huang Zu's ears, and Huang Zu was furious, and immediately sent someone to arrest Gan Ning and punish him.
Gan Ning had long been dissatisfied with Huang Zu, he thought that if he fell into the hands of Huang Zu, it would not be a dead end, so he ran away overnight with his henchmen and brothers.
Gan Ning's run can make Huang Zu angry enough, Huang Zu immediately wrote to Liu Biao, saying that Gan Ning was about to surrender to the enemy, Liu Biao was originally not happy with Gan Ning's birth, at this time I heard that Gan Ning had surrendered to the enemy, Liu Biao asked Huang Zu to come and arrest Gan Ning.
Cao Cao is the favorite of famous military generals, he has long coveted Gan Ning, Huang Zujun's remarks he also heard some, but he did not interfere, he also personally went to Gan Ning a few times, the two can be said to be a bit of a personal relationship.
Gan Ning ran, Cao Cao was the first to know the news, and immediately pursued Gan Ning overnight, the two met, Gan Ning looked at Cao Cao vigilantly and asked, "Is General Cao also here to arrest Gan Ning?" ”
"Of course not!" Cao Cao knew that Gan Ning was wary of him now, so he rode forward alone and said: "Cao Mou has said a long time ago that Huang Zu is small and cannot tolerate people, and it is wise for Xingba to leave Huang Zu, but if he leaves like this, Xingba will inevitably bear the name of betraying the master, is Xingba really willing?" ”
Of course Gan Ning was unwilling, but he had no choice, now Huang Zu wanted to punish him, if he didn't run, he could only be the meat on the board, and let others slaughter him, so he asked: "Could it be that General Cao has a way to save me?" ”
"Cao does have a way that is not a way."
"What's the solution?"
"Cao wants to ask the general to take refuge in Xinye, although Xinye is only a county, but after all, it is Cao's territory, and it is very close to Xiangyang, even Liu Biao would never have thought that the general would hide in Xinye, so he can keep the general safe for the time being."
"Joke!" Hearing this, Gan Ning said disdainfully: "I think that back then, I Gan Xingba was in the name of Jinfan, on the river, how could I ever be afraid of the official army, with my eight hundred brothers in life and death, even if Gan returned to his old business, Liu Biao wanted to arrest me, I am afraid it is not so easy." ”
"Xingba is naturally not afraid of Liu Biao, but Xingba is difficult to become a water thief for the rest of his life, the man is alive, when he lifts the three-foot sword, he makes immortal achievements, in order to seek the vast lintel, I value Xingba's talent, if Xingba is willing to go to Xinye, the general promises, one day he will make Xingba famous Xiangyang, and return to his hometown!"
"This ......" Gan Ning hesitated a little when he heard this, but looked at Cao Cao's current family background and asked: "General Cao has no more than 10,000 soldiers and no more than 1,000 horses, even if I defect to the general, what room can I have?" ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao said with a smile: "Liu Biaokong has such a rich place as Jingxiang Nine Counties, but he only has the will to defend the land, and has no enterprising heart, and sooner or later he will be captured by the princes of the Central Plains. ”
Gan Ning was also a little moved by Cao Cao's heart as a corporal of courtesy, and was provoked by Cao Cao, and immediately responded: "Since General Cao is so gracious, then I, Gan Ning, am not a person who does not know how to lift, and Gan Ning went to Xinye with the general." ”
"Good!"
Cao Cao subdued Gan Ning and was very happy, Huang Zu's defeat was decided, and he didn't want to give Huang Zu a funeral, so he asked Huang Zu to bid farewell on the grounds that the soldiers were poor and needed to be rectified.
Huang Zu was a little disdainful of Cao Cao, and did not care about Cao Cao's farewell, not long after Cao Cao left, Huang Zu was really defeated by Ji Ling, Huang Zu fled to Anhui County, but was caught up by Ji Ling's army, and Huang Zu fled to Xiangyang.
Ji Ling opened the city gate of Anhui County, and Cai Zhan, the county guard of Anhui County, had already been unable to escape with Huang Zu, and the soldiers in the city had no intention of fighting at all, and soon surrendered to Ji Ling.
Ji Ling sent the report to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was very happy, rewarded Ji Ling heavily, and appointed Ji Ling as the Taishou of Nanyang.
