On the fifth day of the fourth month of the fifth year of Jian'an, the wind blew people and couldn't open their eyes, the battle flag made a heart-wrenching sound, Gan Ning stood quietly by the tree and carried the wine jar, Ma Hong stood in front of Gan Ning and looked at Gan Ning with a smile, and kept smiling and looking at it without speaking.
Finally, Gan Ning couldn't help but say, "Boy, why don't you drink my wine this time." β
"Wine wasn't bought, was it?" Ma Hong asked.
Gan Ning nodded.
Ma Hong smiled and asked, "It's not bought, it's robbed, it's robbed of the people's wine?" Or the robber's wine? β
"If I want to say that you rob the people's wine, you will definitely not drink it, so I will definitely say that it is the wine of the robbers." Gan Ningpi replied with a smile.
Ma Hong stopped the smile on his face and said, "I heard a few days ago that Xingba cut down more than thirty prisoners of war, right?" β
Gan Ning nodded and said, "They killed my brother Kong Bai, and I naturally killed them to avenge my brother." β
"But I also heard that Xingba did not restrain you, allowing your subordinates to plunder the people, and I also heard that you robbed a woman from a village, right?" Ma Hong asked.
Gan Ning didn't speak, just turned his head and stopped looking at Ma Hong.
Ma Hong continued: "Maybe this is taken for granted in the eyes of Xingba, but what will this be in the eyes of Childe? Childe is a relative of the Han family, and he is influenced by Confucianism, and if these things are introduced to Childe's ears, it will inevitably make Childe dissatisfied with you. Then my hard work to recommend Xingba will be in vain. β
Gan Ning said: "In less than a month, I helped Gongzi quell the thief chaos, and Gongzi should not be ......."
Ma Hong interrupted Gan Ning's words: "Meritorious work is merit, passing is excessive, Gongzi understands, I think Xingba you should also understand." If you don't pay attention to it, it may seriously affect your future. β
"What should I do?" Gan Ning asked.
Ma Hong smiled and said: "Xingba is a smart person and a general, and if you want to become a good general, you should have strict military discipline." β
Gan Ning lowered his head and said four words silently: "I know." β
On the fifth day of the third month of the fifth year of Jian'an, Gan Ning personally beheaded eighteen soldiers who violated military discipline, and released all the captured women and made corresponding compensation.
Gan Ning held the knife, the knife was still stained with blood, the blood was still warm, but Gan Ning's hand holding the knife was cold, he liked to kill, in the past his hands were always warm after killing, but today his fingers were cold after killing someone.
In less than a month, Gan Ning continuously persuaded and defeated almost all the thieves, and now only one of the thieves is left living on the mountain twenty miles away from Xinye. The leader of this group of thieves is named Zhang Kai, and Zhang Kai's father was killed at the banquet by Liu Biao when Liu Biao set up a Hongmen banquet when Liu Biao settled in Jingzhou, and Zhang Kai hated Liu Biao to the core. In the face of Gan Ning's strong attack, Zhang Kai also contacted all the rogues to deal with it at first, but after the rogues from all sides were defeated by Gan Ning one after another, Zhang Kai could only retreat to the mountain to defend the mountain gate, so that Gan Ning couldn't do anything about him for a while. Zhang Kai urgently needed to resist the strength of the Jingzhou army, so he gathered some thieves from other forces, but Zhang Kai made a mistake, because when he gathered the thieves, Gan Ning let some thieves who surrendered to Liu Qi take advantage of the situation to blend into Zhang Kai's camp.
Now Zhang Kai's every move is under Gan Ning's surveillance, and Gan Ning is very relieved of the eyeliner he sent, because the relatives of those eyeliner are under his knife. Now Gan Ning got another piece of news, Zhang Kai felt powerless to fight against the Jingzhou army, so he asked Zhang Quan, the son of Zhang Xiu of Wancheng, for help, because Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu went north with Cao Cao to resist Yuan Shao, and the responsibility of guarding Wancheng naturally fell on the shoulders of Zhang Quan, the son of Zhang Xiu, Zhang Quan accepted Zhang Kai's surrender and promised to bring 800 cavalry to meet Zhang Kai.
Gan Ning hesitated after getting the news that Zhang Quan would rescue Zhang Kai in the future, because Gan Ning was not sure that he would take the current army of soldiers with low combat effectiveness to fight Zhang Quan's cavalry, but he was very unwilling to let Zhang Kai leave. Ma Hong was very happy when he heard the news that Zhang Quan came to rescue Zhang Kai, and Ma Hong said that he needed war horses now, and eight hundred war horses was also a large number.
Gan Ning was a little worried, because according to the current form, Liu Biao had no intention of fighting Cao Cao, if he rashly attacked Zhang Quan, it must have provoked the end of the battle first. When Gan Ning told Ma Hong about the doubts in his heart, Ma Hong only said that it was only the thieves who fought with Zhang Quan, not the Jingzhou army.
Gan Ning was puzzled and asked the reason, Ma Hong said that a thief can also be a soldier, and a soldier can also be a thief. Gan Ning is not stupid, Ma Hong has said everything to this point, Gan Ning naturally understands that Ma Hong wants him to disguise his troops as thieves. Then Gan Ning and Ma Hong made a careful plan, contacted the eyeliner that penetrated into the inside of Zhang Kai, and successfully incited the bandits who did not want to follow Zhang Kai to surrender to Cao Cao, and the soldiers who broke into the inside of Zhang Kai cut off Zhang Kai's head and opened the mountain gate at night, Gan Ning and Ma Hong led the army to take advantage of the night to attack the cottage and completely defeat the bandits.
When the day dawned, the blood on the sword was dry, and Ma Hong stood on the top of the mountain facing east with his sword, waiting for the sunrise. Gan Ning sat on a stone and wiped the sword given by Ma Hong with a rag pulled from the dead bandit, and wiped it very carefully.
"How to solve the splayed remnant? There are so many people who don't want to surrender! Gan Ning asked as he wiped his sword.
"More than 500 prisoners of war! How could ordinary bandits choose death, they will definitely surrender. Ma Hong replied.
Gan Ning laughed and said, "But I heard that Zhang Kai is the most cruel leader of all the bandits, and their subordinates are like beasts, and the people of Xinye hate them to the core!" β
Ma Hong turned to Gan Ning and smiled: "What, didn't you cut enough people last night?" β
Gan Ning smiled and continued to lower his head and wipe his sword.
Ma Hong continued: "You go and select half of the thieves who are physically strong or you have a crush as your subordinates, and the rest of the people are escorted to Xinye City, and let the people of Xinye punish them!" β
Gan Ning raised his head and smiled and said, "This is indeed a good way, which can not only win the hearts of the people, but also allow the people who have been harassed by thieves to vent their evil anger, and also let Gongzi win reputation in Xinye." β
Ma Hong said with a smile: "It is better to win the support of the people than to win the support of those Xinye clans, these thieves are also the thorns of the Xinye clans, we pull them out for them, and they have to show something." β
"Well, I forgot to tell you." Gan Ning smiled.
"What's the matter?" Ma Hong asked.
"The sun is out, you missed it." Gan Ning looked at Ma Hong with a smile, and the rising light of the rising sun brushed Ma Hong's side face into Gan Ning's eyes, and at this moment Gan Ning felt that the young man in front of him had a colorful light.
Missed the sunrise? Ma Hong turned around and looked at the sunrise in the east, and secretly thought: Thinking about watching the sunrise while cutting people last night, have I completely integrated into this world?
At noon on the seventh day of the fourth month, Zhang Quan led 800 cavalry to the outside of Xinye and stopped three miles in front of the mountain gate.
Zhang Quan's lieutenant asked, "General, since we have already come here, why don't we go and visit Zhang Kai." β
Zhang Quan held the reins and said: "It's better to be cautious, this Zhang Kai will not come out to greet me, you take two hundred cavalry to ask Zhang Kai to come to see me alone." β
The lieutenant general gave the order and went to the bottom of the mountain with two hundred cavalry.
Gan Ning said to Ma Hong: "Zhang Quan himself may not know Zhang Kai, I can go to see Zhang Quan and gain his trust." β
Ma Hong said: "Zhang Quan may be suspicious, deliberately stationed his troops on the open plain, they are cavalry and we are infantry, once we fight, we will definitely suffer great losses." Moreover, the opponent is highly mobile and can retreat at any time, which is not easy to intercept. Besides, I don't know if anyone in their army recognizes Kai, and if so, you are not in danger. β
"So what to do?" Gan Ning nodded.
Ma Hong drew his sword and said: "Two hundred cavalry, two hundred horses are also meat, eat it first." β
Gan Ning ordered an attack, and the soldiers in ambush dressed as bandits rushed out and surrounded the cavalry.
When Zhang Quan saw the change, he already knew that the cavalry sent had been ambushed, and the road down the mountain was bumpy, and it was obviously impossible for the cavalry to fight with the infantry, and he could not take risks to save the two hundred soldiers. Zhang Quan originally came to the grain and grass promised by Zhang Kai in the letter, but now that the grain and grass had become a bubble, Zhang Quan raised his head and shouted at the sky unwillingly, and then ordered the whole army to retreat.
Gan Ning saw that Zhang Quan had withdrawn his troops, and said to Ma Hong: "It seems that this Zhang Quan is not stupid, he has gained a lot of knowledge with his father, and he may think that this Zhang Kai has taken refuge in Jingzhou." β
Ma Hong said: "But he is not smart, he just stays there, we can't do anything about him, the later he withdraws, the more soldiers we will fight, and now those two hundred soldiers see that their generals have fled, they will definitely not fight again." β
Everything is as Ma Hong said, the cavalry who stayed in the ambush circle no longer had the will to fight, when Gan Ning's army raised the banner of the Jingzhou army, the cavalry all surrendered, it may not be easy for the soldiers to surrender to the bandits, but it is not difficult to surrender to the Jingzhou army.
