Chapter 170: Jiangxia Changed Hands

Deng Long, who was sleeping in a daze, didn't take Deng Zhi's reminder seriously, and when he fell asleep, he muttered and replied: "There are hostages in the hands of Lord Taishou, where does Gan Ning dare to make trouble." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Seeing that his cousin didn't want to listen to his own ramblings, Deng Zhi could only continue to lie down in the bed, he had been in Jiangxia for four or five days, but found that his cousin Deng Long was now in control of the city defense of Jiangxia's east gate, and the people and merchants who were exploiting the money were wantonly accumulating money, and lived a drunken life and dream all day long.

When he learned that Deng Zhi intended to make a living in Jiangxia, Deng Long took Deng Zhi with him, and informed him that after the Chinese New Year, he arranged a military position for him, and was responsible for the city defense of Dongcheng and the money-making business on behalf of Deng Long.

Tonight is the last night that Deng Long slept at the city gate, because tomorrow is the first day, and Deng Long will go home to celebrate the Yuan Day Festival with his family, so Deng Long led Deng Zhi to stay at the city gate, the purpose is also to let Deng Zhi be familiar with the affairs of the city gate, so that he can be on duty for himself during the Yuan Festival.

In the face of Deng Long, who has no enterprising heart, but bullies the weak all day long, and wantonly accumulates wealth, Deng Zhi has already made up his mind to leave Jiangxia after the New Year.

At the gate of the city under the cover of night, Gan Ning, who was riding on a war horse, looked at the slowly opening city gate, and whispered to Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, and Gao Shun on the left and right: "There are only five hundred defenders in the east city, and most of them should sleep in the camp at this time. ”

"Whoa." Along the way, Gan Ning's ability to lead the troops, as well as his superb martial arts, as well as the recognition of Xu Huang and others, after a lot of competition, Gan Ning's martial arts only belong to Zhao Yun, slightly better than Xu Huang, and better than Gao Shun.

"Captain Gan, why are you so anxious?" The little colonel at the city gate looked at Gan Ning and asked with a yawn.

"It's a big event in the army, it's not in a hurry." Gan Ning smiled and threw a string of money over, and the little school cushioned it, and there were 100 yuan, so he laughed happily.

"The brothers have worked hard, take it to buy wine and drink." Gan Ning greeted and asked, "Is Deng Du not here?" ”

"My lord is sleeping in the barracks, he was still unhappy just now, Captain Gan, you have to invite him to drink another day." The little colonel replied casually, yawned, and was about to turn around, but found that the sergeant in front of him suddenly drew his sword.

"Don't move, squat down." The group of soldiers at the gate of the city, facing the blade that suddenly hung on his neck, all changed their faces for a moment, and when one of them opened his mouth and was about to shout, his neck couldn't help but be cold, and the blade had already cut his neck.

"If you don't want to die, squat down immediately, otherwise you will be killed." Xu Huang, who led the team, snorted coldly, and the ring-headed knife in his hand waved in the night sky, dancing a dazzling sword light.

Gan Ning and the others took a large group of people and horses, rushed into the direction of the barracks, in the camp next to the city gate, in a row of barracks, there were twenty people living in each room, Gan Ning and Gao Shun and the two led the troops, rushed into the barracks, and some sleeping soldiers were not awakened until the sword soldiers were added.

"All of them are tied up, and those who resist will be killed." Gan Ning did not hesitate at all, and with a wave of his hand, a team of sergeants tied up the sergeants in the barracks.

After a while, Deng Long and Deng Zhi were escorted by the sergeant and locked up in a barracks, and Deng Long, who hadn't even figured out the situation, couldn't help but change color when he saw Gan Ning at the door of the barracks: "Gan Ning, do you have to rebel?" ”

"Master Deng, you are right this time, I am really the opposite, if you know each other, just shut up, maybe I will spare your life." Gan Ning glanced at Deng Longdao, who was staring at him, lightly.

"You, you ......" Although Deng Long wanted to scold, when he saw the sergeants holding weapons at the gate of the camp, he couldn't help but snort coldly and was pushed into the barracks.

After successfully controlling the East City Gate, Gan Ning immediately asked Zhao Yundu to lead a thousand people to guard the city gate to guard the prisoners, and he, Xu Huang and Gao Shun led 9,000 men and horses, taking advantage of the last time before dawn, all the way to kill the Taishou Mansion.

"Who's coming?" A team of sergeants on duty at the gate of the Taishou Mansion immediately shouted when they saw the Ganning brigade killed.

"On the order of Liu Zhijun, come to support Huang Taishou." Gan Ning galloped his horse and shouted, but the blade in his hand had already been cut off, and the sergeant on the steps was pierced by the iron halberd in Gan Ning's hand before he could react.

Gao Shun and Xu Huang, who followed closely behind, were not to be left behind, brandishing the weapons in their hands and killing several sergeants in one fell swoop.

"Fight quickly, surround the mansion, and kill all the rebels." Gan Ning dismounted and rushed into the mansion first, and at this time, the guards in the mansion had already rushed out after hearing the news, and the people and horses on both sides started a fight in the empty courtyard of the mansion.

There are a thousand private troops stationed in Huang Zu's Taishou Mansion day and night, and these people are all Huang Zu's henchmen, so their combat effectiveness is not weak, even in the face of sudden attacks, they quickly rushed out in formation.

When Gan Ning and Gao Shun rushed into the courtyard, Xu Huang commanded the sergeants to surround the Taishou Mansion layer by layer, and he himself sat at the gate of the mansion, and all the personnel were only allowed to enter and not leave.

"Kill!" In the huge compound, thousands of Red Flame troops were divided into several battle teams, scattered and rushed in, Gan Ning, who was holding a long-pole iron halberd, commanded the Jinfan Erlang under the tent, and roared all the way to the backyard where Huang Zu lived.

Huang Zu was awakened in his sleep, although he didn't know what was going on, but when he heard the shouting of killing coming from the courtyard, he immediately summoned several guards at the door and said, "Quick, go out to the back door immediately." ”

Huang Zu, who was in a hurry, ran away from his shoes because he was in a hurry, but because the shouting and killing sound from the rear was approaching, he was worried, and he ran to the back door without looking back with his bare feet and the support of his own soldiers.

On the frost-covered ground, although it hurt Huang Zu's feet, he gritted his teeth and urged his own soldiers: "Hurry, faster." ”

"Squeak!" When the back door was pushed open, the soldiers in front of him had just rushed out, when they heard a shout from the front: "Put down your weapons and surrender, or you will be killed." ”

"Kill!" Huang Zu's own soldiers roared angrily, brandishing their weapons and rushing forward. The sergeant surrounding the wall at this moment was none other than the Red Flame Army soldiers commanded by Xu Huang, and the one leading the team in front of the door was a military horse.

"Attack." The military Sima who led the team did not hesitate at all, and immediately waved the ring head knife in his hand, took the lead in going up, and Huang Zu's personal soldiers were killed, Huang Zu was only ten personal soldiers, but there were fifty Red Flame Army soldiers in front of him, although the combat effectiveness of the two sides was equal, but the Red Flame Army relied on the numerical advantage, and after a fight, Huang Zu was dragged to death.

Huang Zu, who is already over half a hundred years old and has already been hollowed out, has no combat power at all, in the middle of the fight, one could not dodge, but was pierced through the abdomen by the ring head knife in the hand of a small soldier, the moment the cold blade pierced the body, Huang Zu subconsciously grabbed the blade with both hands, and let out a terrible scream from his mouth.

"The lord is dead, fight with them." The remaining few sergeants who were still alive roared and rushed into the crowd, but they were hacked to death by the Red Flame Army soldiers who rushed up.

When Gan Ning led the team to kill all the rebel forces in Taishou Mansion, he saw that the sky had been polished, but he still did not find Huang Zu, and he still did not even see the seal ribbon talisman, and he was anxious, so he had to look around Xu Huang and said: "Two generals, the matter is urgent, it seems that we have to take a risk and go to the south camp to see if we can collect the soldiers and horses in the camp, otherwise once the soldiers and horses in the camp find that the situation has changed, they will inevitably rebel en masse, and then it will inevitably lead to a hard battle." ”

"General, just now we blocked a group of men and horses at the back door, and we collected the seal ribbon talisman from one of them, please take a look." At this moment, the military Sima who had just blocked and killed Huang Zu and the others presented the seal ribbon talisman from Huang Zu's body.

"Great, it's a talisman." Gan Ning and the others couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw it.

There are a total of 8,000 men and horses in the south camp in Jiangxia City, which are led by the county lieutenant Chen Qi and the commander Zhang Shuo, who are generally stationed in the camp with the army, holding half of the talisman in their hands, and all the transfer of soldiers and horses must get the other half of the talisman in Huang Zu's hand.

In the early morning, although the city of Jiangxia was also covered with cold dew, because today was the Yuan Festival, there were already figures walking around in the city, and many sergeants in the barracks also got up.

When Gan Ning took the team of men and horses to the camp gate, because he was holding the Huang Zu Soldier Talisman, the captain of the camp gate did not dare to stop him, so he let Han Lie's team enter the camp, and Gan Ning, who was riding on horseback, looked coldly at the camp gate captain and asked, "Where is Zhang Shuo Chen?" ”

"Back to my lordship, the two adults are resting in the barracks on the east side, so I will send someone to bring the adults there." Although the captain hesitated to ask Gan Ning why he brought such a large team, he had also checked that there was no problem with the talisman in Gan Ning's hand just now, so he didn't dare to slack off.

"Lead the way immediately, and from now on, we will take over the camp gate, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave." With a wave of Gan Ning's hand, Xu Huang led the army to collect the weapons in the hands of the sergeants at the camp gate and took over the defense at the camp gate.

At this moment, although the defenders at the gate of the camp were a little puzzled in the face of such an unexpected situation, but because of the soldiers, they did not dare to resist, although the Taishou Mansion carried out a fight, but because Xu Huang led the troops to surround the Taishou Mansion, and the Taishou Mansion was several miles away from the camp, so the camp did not find that the Taishou Mansion had been broken at this moment.

Chen and Zhang Shuo in the bed were pulled out by Gan Ning's army, and the two in single clothes didn't understand what was going on, when they heard Gan Ning shouting: "According to the military order of Lord Taishou, Chen Zhang Shuo wants to rebel according to the thief, the evidence is conclusive, and he will be killed on the spot!" ”

"I want to see Lord Taishou, I want to see Lord Taishou......" Chen and Zhang Shuo were stunned for a moment, and then shouted as they struggled: "Wronged, wronged, I want to meet Lord Taishou......"

"Slash!" Gan Ning didn't give them any chance to quibble, so he ordered the sergeant to push the two onto the podium and directly cut off the heads of the two, which made the sergeants in the camp wake up one after another, and when they saw this scene, they immediately panicked.

Gan Ning wanted such an effect, and at that moment he waved his hand and shouted: "Pass the order of the general, Chen has rebelled against Zhang Shuo, and now he has been killed, and the rest of the people are not guilty, please return to their respective barracks immediately and stand by, if there is a loud noise, those who go out of the barracks without permission will be killed according to the conspirators." ”

The 8,000 sergeants in the battalion, although panicked when they received this order, turned back to the barracks one after another, but did not dare to go out of the barracks, and then Gan Ning sent someone to collect all the weapons and armor in the barracks, and distributed a dough cake and a bowl of hot porridge to each sergeant.

After a day of settlement, Jiangxia City was so easily taken over by Gan Ning, and the whole process of Chiyan was killed and wounded less than 100 people, Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu was killed, hundreds of the remaining guards were killed, and the remaining nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses were disarmed.

The Jiangxia soldiers and horses who were blocked in the barracks, after spending three days in a panic, finally got free, this time they were released by Xiakou Governor Su Fei, after gathering on the school field, Su Fei, who was dressed in military uniform, also came with a group of soldiers and horses, and Su Fei, who was standing on the point platform, shouted: "Soldiers, everyone must be very strange these days, what happened in the city, right?" ”

"Now what I can tell you is that due to Gan Ning's rebellion, Huang Taishou has been killed, and I received news a few days ago that this time I led Xiakou's men and horses to counterattack, recapture the city, and defeat Gan Ning's traitors, and now you are free. From now on, all the soldiers will be given 200 yuan and will have a 10-day rest, which means that you can return home and be reunited with your families. ”

"The general is mighty, the general is mighty!" The 8,000 soldiers in the camp were still full of suspicion and panic when they learned the truth of the matter at first, but then when Su Fei handed out coins and let them leave the camp, all the soldiers couldn't help but shout excitedly.

Su Fei waved his hand calmly, signaled the soldiers to be quiet, and then commanded the soldiers of the navy led by Zhou Tai to carry boxes of five-baht coins and distribute them to all the soldiers. Although more than a million coins were scattered at this time, the biggest uneasy factor in the city was removed at once, and it was not appropriate for 8,000 elite soldiers to stay in the camp after all, but to kill them like this would not only consume manpower, but also harm others and themselves.

With the killing of Huang Zu and the disbandment of the soldiers and horses in the city, Gan Ning and Su Fei staged a fake trick battle under the city a few days ago, and then Gan Ning led the army to withdraw from Jiangxia, and Su Fei led the army to retake Jiangxia, so that Jiangxia City changed hands and fell into the hands of Han Lie, but in the eyes of the people and scholars in Jiangxia, Liu Biao's banner was still hung on the city, and the general who commanded the city was still Liu Biao's subordinates, that is, Huang Zu's former general Su Fei.

But in fact, Su Fei has now returned to Han Lie, this time Su Fei in addition to the 5,000 troops stationed in Jiangxia, Zhou Tai and Ling Tong also led 10,000 horses into Jiangxia, and received the counties under the rule of Jiangxia County one by one. (To be continued.) )
