Chapter 118: Horses for Oxen

At this time, an elderly military doctor walked in and said as he walked: "Only the doctor knows the disease best, and you are afraid that you don't understand your own disease, general." ”

Lian'er saw that another military doctor came, or an old military doctor, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the military doctor's sleeve and cried: "Doctor, please take a look for Gongzi, is there anything wrong with Gongzi?" ”

"Don't worry! My disciple is right, it's not a plague, I've already seen the child you mentioned, and there's nothing wrong with that child. The old medic said.

"Doctor, am I really okay?" Ma Hong asked with a tug in his heart.

"The old man has seen thousands of people who have died of the plague over the years, and he will never be mistaken."

The old military doctor touched his beard and said, and as he spoke, he suddenly remembered the miserable state in the Wancheng military camp, and secretly said in his heart: That is the purgatory on earth.

Ma Hong listened to the words of the old military doctor, and then he was relieved. At this moment, Gan Ning suddenly ran into Ma Hong's house barefoot, pushed away the young military doctor who was sitting in front of Ma Hong, took Ma Hong's hand, and asked in a panic: "Boy, are you okay?" ”

Ma Hong looked at Gan Ning, who was disheveled and sweaty, obviously Gan Ning was as messed up as he was just now. Ma Hong smiled bitterly: "Is there anything wrong with me?" You'll have to ask the doctor! ”

Gan Ning nodded mechanically and asked the young military doctor next to him, "Doctor, my brother's illness?" ”

The young military doctor said, "General Gan, rest assured, General Ma is definitely not infected with the plague." ”

Gan Ning wiped the sweat from his face with relief.

Ma Hong sat up on the bed and apologized to the young military doctor: "Doctor, I was offended just now, I apologize to you, and ask the doctor to forgive me for my mistakes." ”

The young military doctor hurriedly saluted and said, "It's really a shame for the general to say this, and I will give the general a recipe for this, and the general will rest for a long time." ”

Ma Hong nodded and motioned for everyone to go out, leaving only Gan Ning to stay.

After everyone left, Gan Ning looked at Ma Hong's eyes and was silent for a long time before saying, "Fang Cai really scared me, you are fine." ”

Ma Hong smiled slightly: "Maybe I ruined your good deeds!" Look at your clothes, did you just put a lot of effort into Cao Hong's woman! ”

Gan Ning laughed and said: "I took off my pants, I haven't done anything yet, I heard that something happened to you, and I was scared soft." ”

Ma Hong sighed and said with a tired face: "In the future, this kind of poisonous strategy will have to be used sparingly." ”

Gan Ning nodded, helped Ma Hong lie on the bed, told Ma Hong to rest, and then left barefoot.

After the capture of Wancheng, due to Ma Hong's sudden illness, a lot of things are still waiting to be dealt with. Gan Ning was not the kind of person who was good at handling government affairs, and he was busy at this time. Fortunately, Kuai He rushed to Wancheng in time to handle government affairs for Gan Ning, so Gan Ning has time to drink now, and Gan Ning looks much more pleasing to Kuai He now.

This Wancheng has just been captured, Cao Cao's officials have retreated with Cao Hong's defeat, all the affairs in this city have been taken over by Gan Ning's army, a well-disciplined army can make the people feel at ease, but the poorly disciplined army is not much better than the rogue in the eyes of the people. Most of the troops led by Gan Ning are composed of rogues, and since the last time Ma Hong asked Gan Ning to kill chickens and monkeys, the soldiers in the army no longer dare to make big mistakes. After Ganning's army entered the city, the people were not oppressed, but there were always livestock lost in the city. The people didn't dare to say anything if they lost a few chickens and ducks, but it was a big deal to lose a few cattle and sheep, and the cattle were used to plough the land, but now they went into the stomachs of the soldiers, which left the farmers without the tools to cultivate.

In the past few days, Kuaihe has received reports from the people one after another, and three cows have been lost, and the loss of one cow may be a coincidence, but if he loses three in a row, this may be a malicious act. Some people with brains can know what is going on just by thinking about it, it is obvious that Kuai He is not stupid, he has long guessed that this is the work of the soldiers, but he does not dare to say it to Gan Ning, saying this is obviously accusing Gan Ning of not governing the army strictly. Ma Hong has already told Kuai He that people like Gan Ning can't be provoked, otherwise they will die. If it weren't for that, Kuai He might have asked Gan Ning for his guilt by now. But if it is not treated, if it is tolerated and nurtured, the soldiers will be even more incurable, and it is unknown what they will do next.

Kuaihe has a headache, it would be easy for Ma Hong to deal with such a thing, because Ma Hong and Gan Ning have an excellent relationship, and their official position is equivalent to Gan Ning, while Kuaihe's official position is lower than that of Gan Ning, and he does not have much friendship with Gan Ning. Once this kind of affairs is handled, it will really kill people if they don't do it well. But now, if you trouble Ma Hong for such a trivial matter and it seems that you are too useless, what should you do? Kuaihe thought about it for an hour before he came up with a solution.

Kuai He put down the business in his hand and walked to Gan Ning's side and saluted Gan Ning respectfully: "General Gan, this noon has arrived, and it is time for dinner." ”

Gan Ning stood up and said with a smile: "Indeed, my stomach is hungry, and I have been watching that Mr. is busy, and I don't dare to disturb Mr., let's go to dinner." ”

Kuai He smiled slightly and said, "General Gan, to be honest, I want to go to the barracks and take a look at the food of the brothers by the way?" Let's see if there's anything to add. ”

Gan Ning was slightly stunned and said: "Mr. Lao, the food in our army is okay, and if the general doesn't dislike it, he can also eat in the army." ”

Kuai He smiled and nodded, and made a gesture of invitation to Gan Ning.

After a stick of incense, the two of them had already arrived at the barracks, and it was also the time for the soldiers to eat, and the soldiers were all sitting and eating in the camp tent. Kuai He and Gan Ning turned around and happened to find seven or eight soldiers squatting next to them with beef in their bowls.

Before Kuai He could speak, Gan Ning rushed up and grabbed the soldier's bowl and asked loudly, "What is this?" ”

The soldier said in a trembling voice, "Back to the general, it's meat,"

Gan Ning said angrily: "I'm asking you what kind of meat!" ”

The soldiers who were trained lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, and the rest of the soldiers also silently put down their dishes and chopsticks, and stood in a row autonomously waiting for Gan Ning's reprimand.

When Gan Ning saw the beef in the soldier's bowl, he immediately arrived at the reason why Kuaihe was going to come to the barracks with him, Kuaihe didn't want to point out to his face that he was not strict in governing the army, deliberately saving face for him or not wanting to offend him. Gan Ning handed the bowl to the soldier and said, "Eat! I've watched you eat. ”

"You know the importance of ploughing oxen, and now you have stolen the ploughing cattle of the people, how do the people go to plough the land, and if the people can't plough the land, then how should they live! Do you know that slaughtering ploughing cattle without permission is a violation of my great man's law? Gan Ning said angrily.

The soldiers stood silently, not daring to say a word or move.

"Now that you have slaughtered the farmer's cattle without permission, you have violated military law and should be beheaded according to the law." Gan Ning Road.

When the soldiers heard the slash, they all fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

Gan Ning looked around at everyone angrily and continued: "The brothers have made a contribution to Wancheng, it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with eating a few bites of meat, but they should never slaughter the cultivated cattle. How do we compensate farmers for their losses now? ”

Seeing that Gan Ning's words had taken a turn for the better, a soldier immediately said: "General, we are willing to work for the peasants to compensate for our crimes." ”

Gan Ning snorted coldly and said, "How is this enough, can you do farm work for a few days worth a ploughing ox?" ”

Another soldier hurriedly spoke: "General, we are willing to work for that farmer all the time. ”

"That's not enough, for now, the only way to do this is to compensate the farmers with war horses." Gan Ning looked around at everyone again with a cold face and said to the guards: "You go and pull my horse over, choose two more war horses, and we will use the horses to compensate the farmers." ”

"General, how can you fight without a war horse!" The guard said.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll fight on foot with my brothers in the future." Gan Ning Road.

The guard saw that Gan Ning's words were undoubted, so he could only lead Gan Ning's horse, he knew that Gan Ning's crotch was a BMW, Gan Ning usually took good care of him, and now in order to compensate the farmers for the soldiers, he was willing to compensate the war horse to the villagers, and Gan Ning's image in the guard's heart at the moment immediately became taller.

The soldiers all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gan Ning and said, "General, we are willing to go with the general to apologize." ”

Gan Ning nodded and said, "It's not enough to apologize, go and inform all the brothers who have eaten beef, and all of them will go with me to ask the farmers for their guilt." ”

Kuai He silently watched Gan Ning do all this, and secretly said in his heart: No wonder Gongzi and Uncle Chang attach so much importance to Gan Ning, Gan Ning really has a hand in leading troops, and now these soldiers must be loyal to him.

Gan Ning handled the matter, turned around and said to Kuai He apologetically: "Mr. made you laugh, it's because I don't govern the army strictly." ”

Kuai He hurriedly said: "Where is General Gan!" In the following opinion, General Gan handled things fairly and strictly, and he was really a famous general in the world. ”

Gan Ning laughed and said, "Mr. has won the award." ”

Kuai He also smiled: "General Gan doesn't have to be so polite, I am younger than the general, the general calls me by my name, and I will ask the general for more advice in the future." ”
