Time, two days ago.

Location, Upper Ancestral Water.

Characters, Gan Ning, Deng Zhi ...... "Xingba, if you want to solve the danger of Quyang, you and I can divide into two ways." ”

Gan Ning looked at Deng Zhi suspiciously, "How to divide the soldiers into two ways?" We don't have many soldiers and horses in our hands, and if we divide our troops, won't it be even more difficult to do? ”

Deng Zhi said: "The soldiers are divided into two routes, and I will return to Haixi immediately by myself. ”

"Oh?"

"There are still hundreds of troops in Haixi County, and I ask my uncle and grandson to send troops to help Quyang; However, I am afraid that the support that Haixi can give will not be too much. Although there are 80,000 people in Haixi, they have not been trained. originally planned to train troops this winter, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to suddenly send troops and ruin his uncle's plan. Temporary call-ups, too, take time. Therefore, the reinforcements from Haixi can make Youxue hold on for a few more days at most.

The real reinforcements lie with you. ”

"In me?"

Gan Ning's eyes closed slightly, revealing a deep groan.

In the distance, the Xiapi army attacked Quyang Zhengmeng, and the sound of shouting and killing was faintly heard.

"How do I help?"

"Shoot down!"

"Huh?"

"The surname Cao is the chief general of Lu Butun to guard the prime minister, and after the 6,000 soldiers and horses of Song Xian are wiped out, the surname Cao will come out. Therefore, the prime minister must guard the emptiness at this time, regardless of Chen Gong or the surname Cao, it is impossible to think that we have the courage to attack the prime minister at such a time.

I heard that Zhou Kui, the prime minister, has a false name, so I don't need to worry about it.

As long as he wins the next minister, it is equivalent to cutting off the back road of Chen Gongcao's surname. At that time, Chen Gong will inevitably divide troops to rescue the prime minister, and Quyang's danger will be solved. However, after taking the throne, you will face great danger. Once Lu Bu knows, he will inevitably send troops to rescue the prime minister, and you will be attacked by the enemy at that time. Therefore, after taking the lower prime minister, you must leave the lower prime minister as soon as possible to avoid the doom of the whole army. ”

Deng Zhi's plan can be called the bottom of the kettle.

Xiaxiang (now Suqian) is the southern barrier of Xiapi County, once breached, Xiapi will face the enemy army directly, and there will be no place to turn. Moreover, the grain and grass outside Quyang City originated from the lower phase. The capture of the lower prime minister is equivalent to cutting off the grain route of the Chen Palace...... This strategy cannot be said to be unreadable.

But again, as the main general of the surprise attack, Gan Ning will be under tremendous pressure.

He couldn't help but want to fight quickly and seize the next minister; Moreover, it is necessary to hold out until Chen Gong divides his troops, and at the appropriate time, evacuate the next minister.

At the same time, Gan Ning also had to face Xiapi's counterattack.

In short, this strategy is good, but the more it is really risky.

After pondering for a long time, Gan Ning said categorically: "If you want to be in danger of Quyang, this is the only plan!" ”

—————————————————————————— knife is fast, and the horse is fast.

In just twenty or thirty meters of distance, Zhao Yebai continued to slow down, making Gan Ning's momentum reach the limit in an instant. The dragon finch in his hand, hanging with a gust of wind, tore through the air. There was no fancy thing about that big knife, but it completely shrouded the surname Cao in the knife momentum.

However, the surname Cao is not mediocre!

As one of the eight athletes, he naturally has his outstanding skills.

In terms of martial arts, the surname Cao is under Zhang Liao, Zangba and others, but he can also be regarded as a first-class general.

can shoot Xiahoudun's eyes, how can he be an idle person? He joined the army as a young man and followed Lu Bu to fight in the east and west, and he was extremely experienced.

He has an extraordinary sensitivity to danger.

So the moment Gan Ning rushed out of the city gate hole, he was already aware of the danger.

Instinctively, he held the big gun in his hand in front of him and blocked it outward. One is to prepare for the battle, and the other is to respond in a hurry, although the surname Cao blocked Gan Ning's dragon bird broadsword, but he was shocked by the huge force contained in the big knife, and his arms were numb...... Gan Ning missed with a knife, and without saying a word, the big knife flipped over, and the big gun surnamed Cao was wiped out horizontally. If this knife is smeared, the hand surnamed Cao will be gone. Frightened, the surname Cao hurriedly let go of one hand, and the big gun flipped and was ready to stab out when the second horse staggered.

Who knows, his speed is fast, and Gan Ning is faster.

Zhao Yebai suddenly accelerated at the moment when he mismatched the war horse surnamed Cao.

Without waiting for the big gun surnamed Cao to stab out, Gan Ning came to his side. Leaning out on the horse, Peng suddenly grabbed the big belt around the waist of the surname Cao.

Gan Ning roared, picked up the surname Cao from the war horse with one hand, and immediately fell to the ground.

In this fall, Gan Ning used a bit of ingenuity. smashed the surname Cao to the point that the bones of the whole body seemed to be scattered, and he lay on the ground, and his head was blank. When he came back to his senses, more than a dozen soldiers had already swarmed up, and the big knife was on the neck of the surname Cao.

"A certain Gan Ning is here, and the main general has been captured, so you will not immediately abandon your weapons and surrender, let alone when."

Gan Ning immediately slashed and shouted at the gate of the city.

At the same time, hundreds of soldiers poured out of the hula at the head of the city, one by one holding strong bows and crossbows, and aimed at the soldiers under the city.

The Xiapi soldiers first retreated in a hurry, and then hurried for another day's journey, and were already sleepy and listless.

There was a shower of rain and a gust of wind under the city, and each one of them could not even hold their weapons steadily. In the blink of an eye, his own boss has become a prisoner of others, and Xia Xiangcheng is occupied by the other party. Quyang's two-day onslaught was fruitless, which made the Xiapi soldiers have an inexplicable sense of fear for the Haixi soldiers and horses. Many factors were mixed up, and when the archers of Shanghai West appeared at the head of the city, the Xiapi army was suddenly frightened.

"Hugh is going to release the arrows, I'll surrender!"

Youxia Bing really couldn't hold on, threw the weapon in his hand to the ground, and sat next to him, holding his head with both hands.

"Abandon your weapons and don't kill!"

There was a loud shout from the lower Xiangcheng Tower.

As a result, more and more Xiapi soldiers lost their weapons and sat obediently in the muddy water, not moving.

The surname Cao was pressed to the ground by several strong soldiers, raised his head and glanced out of the city, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

"Let Cao Youxue come to see me!"

He suddenly shouted.

Gan Ning turned the horse's head, arrived in front of the surname Cao, and sneered: "Want to see my son-in-law?" Let's be honest first. ”

After saying that, as soon as he waved his hand, a soldier stepped forward and punched the back of Cao's head, knocking Cao unconscious.

"Take him down and keep him on the lookout."

"Whoa!"

After Gan Ning finished speaking, he commanded the men to settle the prisoners.

He did not have many soldiers and horses, a total of more than 260 people. Sixty men were drawn to guard the guards, and at the same time they were brought hot porridge and water. It's not easy to get rid of these people. They were outnumbered, and after another fight, they were a flock of old birds. Therefore, they should not be too oppressed, give them some hot porridge, and then put them in the school yard, and arrange dry tents so that they can rest honestly...... As long as they remained stable before dawn, Ganning would complete the task.

When the time comes, Gan Ning will evacuate the prime minister with people, and these soldiers will ...... It's not something Ganning needs to think about.

In fact, Gan Ning didn't expect that the Xiapi army would come back so soon. When he got the news that the Xiapi army was retreating from the lower prime minister, Gan Ning even wanted to abandon the city immediately. After all, there are more than 200 people and more than 5,000 people, and the gap is really too big!

If it's bad, it's bad because of the scouts sent by the surname Cao.

Only then did Gan Ning know that Chen Deng had sent troops and crossed the Huaishui, so he made the Xiapi army evacuate Quyang.

In that case, you're welcome...... Gan Ning is also a master of art and bold, and after thinking for a while, he came to the conclusion that this group of Xia Pi soldiers no longer has much combat effectiveness, so he decided to stay in the lower phase and explore the reality. It's just that he didn't expect to capture the surname Cao, so that Gan Ning's soldiers would not be bloody and victorious.

"Immediately order someone to rush back to Quyang and ask the son to make a decision."

Gan Ning immediately made up his mind and sent scouts to report in the direction of Quyang.

At the same time, he ordered people to appease the people in the city and stabilize the situation, and then returned to the prime minister's mansion and ordered someone to bring the surname Cao up.

There were some things he had to ask.

The surname Cao had woken up at this time, was tied up with ropes, and was taken to the yahall.

"The general of the defeated army, why don't you kneel when you see a certain family?"

Gan Ning stood tall in the hall, stared at the surname Cao with tiger eyes, and asked sharply.

The surname Cao raised his head and sneered: "It's just a young general, but what kind of hero is it to win by sneak attack?" Cao's dignified husband, how can you kneel to a villain like you? ”

"Win by sneak attack?"

Gan Ning said: "You are just relying on the strength of the crowd and showing off their might.

With 8,000 people, they couldn't capture the small city of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in Quyang. Now that you have been captured by me, you still have the face to call yourself a 'big husband'? ”

In a word, the surname Cao couldn't help but blush.

But he still looked disdainful and snorted coldly.

Gan Ning said angrily: "Cao Shulong, don't you think that the sword in my hand is not sharp? ”

"If you want to kill, you can kill, why a lot of nonsense."

"You ......"

Gan Ning stood up and reached out to hold the sword.

He stared at the surname Cao, and the surname Cao also held his head high, looking at Gan Ning, with no fear on his face.

After a long time, Gan Ning suddenly smiled, "Cao Shulong, you are good at sword soldiers, but now you are like a lost dog." Aren't you convinced? Okay, let's wait for me to kill Lu Bu, and then see what you have to say. Come, take him down, and give me a strict watch over this fang, and I will not slack off. ”

"Whoa!"

A soldier came in and dragged the surname Cao away.

While struggling, the surname Cao scolded, "Gan Ning, a nobody, also dares to speak wildly." Wait for him to say that my family's prince and marquis soldiers are coming to the city, and take the dog's head. ”

"Gan Sima, why don't you kill this person?"

A small school couldn't help but persuade.

Gan Ning shook his head and said softly: "No matter what this surname Cao says, he also has some friendship with Gongzi. Whether to kill or stay, or wait for the son to decide. ”

"When will Childe arrive?"

"Come to think of it, it should be soon......"

Gan Ning couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart.

He wanted to evacuate the subordinate prime minister immediately, but he vaguely felt that it was extremely significant to control the subordinate prime minister in his hands. It's just that he doesn't know if he can keep the next phase. Judging from the current form, Chen Deng has crossed the Huaishui and will fight with Xiapi sooner or later.

I don't know when Chen Yuanlong's soldiers and horses will arrive?

Whether to keep this phase has become a very tangled question in Gan Ning's heart.

He wanted to defend it, but he was afraid of alarming Xiapi. If Lu Bu led the troops over, he would really not be able to hold these people in his hands.

Forget it, let's see.

If Childe can arrive before dawn, then I will continue to hold on.

If Childe is unable to arrive, and there are signs of a movement of troops and horses on the side of Xiapi, I will evacuate immediately.

In short, at this time, we must not be quick at the moment. But even if I leave, I have to teach Na Lu Bu a little lesson.

"Go, take out the tung oil in the treasury, once evacuated, we will set fire to this Xiangcheng."

Lao Tzu can't get the next phase, and you Lu Bu don't want to regain the next phase!

After Gan Ning made up his mind, he ordered the scouts to closely monitor the movements of the Xiapi side. At the same time, he was also nervously preparing for the next minister, so that he could evacuate at any time. This time, he was able to seize the prime minister, but it was really a loss to Deng Zhi's idea. The next minister is really empty, and the surname Cao almost poured out. After Gan Ning led his troops to arrive at the lower minister, he pretended to be a soldier and horse of Xiapi, and directly deceived the lower minister, Zhou Kui, and then slashed him.

After killing Zhou Kui, the prime minister lost his head.

A cadre subordinate and miscellaneous soldiers, who were Gan Ning's opponents, almost did not make any resistance, and obediently abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

It can be said that Gan Ning took Xia Xiangcheng without blood. It is easy to take off, but it is difficult to keep it...... It depends on Cao Peng's reaction.

When the —————————————————————————— day was about to dawn, Gan Ning had decided to abandon the next minister.

Just when he was preparing a fire to burn the city to the ground, he suddenly heard a report from Tanmalay, saying that Cao Peng led his troops and arrived outside the city.

How did Cao Peng come so fast?

It all started with him starting to pursue.

Around evening, the vanguard troops of Chen Palace arrived outside Quyang City.

And the leader of the vanguard is also Cao Peng's acquaintance: Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan and Cao Peng are also old friends, after learning that Cao Peng led people to pursue the surname Cao, Xu Xuan didn't say a word, ordered 800 cavalry and 1,000 foot soldiers, and set off at the same time, without even eating, and left Quyang. Xu Xuanqin led the cavalry and caught up with Cao Peng about forty miles away from Quyang. After discussing with Cao Peng, both of them believed that they should continue to pursue the Xia Pi army.

It doesn't necessarily cause much damage, the main thing is to put enough pressure on the Xiapi army to make its army unstable.

When the time comes, when Chen Deng leads his troops up, he can take advantage of the situation to seize the prime minister. So, Cao Peng handed over 300 soldiers and horses in his hands to Xu Xuan, took over the command of the cavalry from Xu Xuan, and led Pan Zhang, Xiahoulan, Zhoucang, and Deng Fan to pursue the Xiapi army overnight in the rain.

Unexpectedly, fifty miles south of Xia Xiang, Cao Peng caught Gan Ning's messenger.

After learning that Gan Ning had conquered the next minister, Cao Peng had an idea and immediately made a decision.

The two battles of Quyang have greatly improved Cao Peng's vision and psychology. He vaguely mastered some elements of capturing fighters. The capture of Xia Xiang is equivalent to opening the south gate to Xiapi...... Xiaxiangcheng must not give up.

So, Cao Peng immediately ordered someone to inform Xu Xuan, and then personally led 800 cavalry troops to the next minister.

Gan Ning was overjoyed when he heard the news...... He led people to greet the prime minister, and after meeting Cao Peng, he returned to the lower prime minister's city.

At this time, due to the arrival of Cao Peng, there were more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in Xiaxiang City.

In addition, Xu Xuan's infantry of 1,300 people will arrive later, which is enough to stabilize the situation of the next minister...... "Childe, what should we do next?" ”

Gan Ning didn't wait for Cao Peng to sit down and take a breath, then asked eagerly.

Cao Peng smiled and said in a deep voice: "Since we have occupied the lower minister, then next, we must make Zhang Liao return to Xu County!" ”
