It was already autumn, and after the rest of Wuwei's whole army, Gan Ning led the army to the west and stepped into Zhangye County--other book friends are reading:. Biquge.info15

The three armies were mighty and arrogant, and no one could stop them all the way to the west.

Seeing that Wulan City was close at hand, the expressionless Gan Ning and Zhang Liao and the others were in the same mood: hatred was monstrous!

Han Sui, the old fox, while retreating, was still spreading public opinion unfavorable to the Taiping Army in the counties along the way, and even the massacre in Wuwei City was the evidence of this remark.

From Wuwei to Wulan, seven county towns along the way, every time he entered a city, Ganning had to suppress at least three small-scale civil uprisings.

As for Wulan in front of him, as early as three days ago, Gan Ning got a scout report: Han Sui fled and continued westward, I am afraid that he has fled to Jiuquan County at this time.

Gan Ning didn't have to think about it, the people in this Wulan City would definitely have fierce opposition to the Taiping army.

"Governor, you can't kill it again. If you kill it again, the reputation of the lord will be ruined! ”

Wu Yice immediately stepped forward and said to Gan Ning earnestly.

There is a good saying: good things don't come out of mén, and bad things go a thousand miles.

Guo Jia has done good deeds to the people of Yizhou and Guanzhong for ten years, and slaughtered in the northwest for a while, and the reputation between the two is probably that the image of a tyrant will far cover the image of Renjun.

How could Gan Ning not understand this kind of truth?

But this military order was issued by Guo Jia, not his own opinion, and Guo Jia should have expected such a consequence, since this is the case, what room does he have to disobey the military order?

"Needless to say, let's go into town -- other book friends are reading:."

With a wave of his hand, Gan Ning ordered the three armies to enter the city.

"Wait!"

Wu Yi rode his horse out of the crowd and crossed in front of the formation, suddenly turned over and dismounted and knelt down on one knee towards Gan Ning, holding his head high and clenching his fists.

"The Grand Duke. In the end, I would like to ask you to think twice, and I would like to ask my lord again. ”

The autumn breeze was bleak, and the three armies were moved.

When there is a dispute between generals in the commander's tent, ordinary soldiers will not know about it, at most they will listen to some gossip and forget about it, but what is happening in front of them is indeed a scene of disagreement between the generals and commanders.

Gan Ning looked down at Wu Yi. He said softly: "Wu Yi, step aside." It's just vexatious. I acted according to the orders of the lord, and now I ask the lord, are you telling me to question the lord and disobey the order? ”

Wu Yi lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "The last general will not dare, but this act of slaughtering the people has lost the hearts of the people." If it is contrary to morality, what if the lord can get the four counties of Hexi? If the subjects are not satisfied, it will become a disaster in the future, and I hope that the metropolitan governor will think twice before acting, and ask the lord to consider this matter again. ”

Gan Ning's eyes suddenly widened and he glared at Wu Yi angrily. Said sharply: "Wu Yi! You are presumptuous! Subjects dissatisfied? Those who disobey are mobs, and who dares to disobey? Our Taiping army has never committed any crimes with Minqiu, if it weren't for the stubbornness of those mobs who committed me first, how could I have killed in vain? I asked myself. None of the souls of the dead under the knife were innocently suffered. Someone came, tied up Wu Yi and escorted him back to Chang'an, if you want to ask the lord, you can go by yourself! ”

The others were in an uproar, Meng Da opened his mouth to ask for intercession, but Gan Ning raised his hand and looked at Wu Yi sharply, the subtext of this move is that others should not bother with more tongues, he has made up his mind.

Zhang Liao closed his eyes, he was not ready to intercede for Wu Yi - other book friends were watching:. This is in front of the officers and men of the three armies, and Gan Ning's authority as the commander of the army cannot be provoked. If it really evolves from a discord between generals and commanders to a military admonition, then it doesn't mean that this battle can't be fought. From top to bottom, when the generals returned to Chang'an, they would definitely be swallowed by Guo Jia's thunderous rage.

Wu Yi was tied up and dragged down, and he was still opening his mouth to ask Gan Ning not to easily enter the city to slaughter the people, but Gan Ning turned a deaf ear to these words.

After a sāoluàn, Gan Ning marched into the city, and sure enough, the people attacked the Taiping army at the entrance of the city, and Gan Ning did not hesitate to order to kill the people who resisted on the spot, and began to search for the relatives of the three tribes in the city according to the order of the three tribes.

The death toll in Yalan City exceeded 10,000 that day!

Han Sui continued to flee northwest from Wulan, and this time, he left hundreds of people behind in each city to incite the people to resist the Taipings, and built simple fortifications in the city, with the obvious intention of delaying the Taiping army and withdrawing the troops when winter came.

Gan Ning waved his army to the west, Shaowu, Lejuan, Huishui, Lufu and other county towns were all flattened, and Han Sui escaped from Jiuquan before Gan Ning's arrival and went to Dunhuang County.

Within a month, Gan Ning led his army to more than 20 cities in three counties and slaughtered more than 70,000 people in four counties in Hexi......

Two months later, Han Sui concentrated the last less than 10,000 troops stationed at Yumén Pass, outside which was a scene of the Gobi Desert, which was obviously not conducive to the Taiping army's expedition here.

Gan Ning garrisoned in Dunhuang County and sent fast horses back to Chang'an to bring the news to Guo Jia.

Seeing that winter is coming, Han Sui is guarding Yumén Pass, this battle, I'm afraid it won't be finished this year, so what should I do now?

The autumn leaves are lonely and quiet, Guo Jia is standing by the courtyard pond, accompanied by Wu Yi, in the gazebo behind him, Xiao Qiao is holding Guo Ying, Wu Yuan and Cai Yan are sitting aside, listening to Guo Ye tell Guo Ying the story of the war, and the family is happy.

"I didn't expect Han Sui to be this plan, hehe, he actually wants to make a comeback, it's just a fool's dream."

Guo Jia read the documents sent by Gan Ning and smiled easily.

The current situation is obvious, Han Sui dragged the supply line of the Taiping army, and moved the battlefield in the Gobi Desert, he occupied the Yumén Pass, naturally easy to defend, and the Taiping army of the troops, either cavalry, or crossbow archers, only the remaining pikemen are not good at attacking cities.

Winter is coming, and the Taiping army will inevitably withdraw if it cannot defeat Han Sui and save grain and grass.

At this time, Han Sui was given the opportunity to regroup and counterattack the four counties of Hexi.

Anyway, it was a tug-of-war, as long as the Taiping army withdrew, Han Sui would advance, and the Taiping army would advance, and Han Sui would retreat to Yumén Pass to protect himself.

After Wu Yi was escorted back to Chang'an, he was not reproached by Guo Jia, as if Wu Yi was transferred back from the front.

"In the current situation, does the lord plan to concentrate his forces to exterminate Han Sui in the coming year?"

Wu Yi asked softly.

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "No, there are not many people in the four counties of Hexi, I just need to feed these tens of thousands of troops, isn't it just to endure a winter?" Hehe, I can still figure out this bit of family money. ”

Since it has reached Dunhuang County, there is no reason to withdraw the army, an army of 40,000 people, not too much, no less, let Guo Jia send food thousands of miles away, it is not a thing that makes him feel sorrow.

Not only transporting grain, but also transporting siege equipment, Guo Jia's purpose is very simple, to clear the four counties of Hexi, didn't Han Sui occupy Yumén Pass? Then capture Yumén Pass, if he dies at Yumén Pass, if he escapes from the Pass, then let him escape, anyway, there can be no more independent warlords in the four counties of Hexi.

Wu Yi nodded, in this way, as long as it takes another half a year, Guo Jia will officially unify Kansai!

The price seems to be a bit heavy, not only in terms of the cost of war, but also in terms of population loss.

"Lord, the last general doesn't understand, the people of the four counties of Hexi were tricked by Han Sui, if the lord can use two years and three years to run the four counties of Hexi, the people will be happy and convinced. But why do you treat innocent people with such brutal means? ”

Guo Jia turned his head and glanced at Wu Yi, patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "People are good at being bullied, whether the people are innocent or not, you should ask the soldiers who were attacked first." The four counties of Hexi are just what I used to kill the monkeys. ”

Wu Yi is full of suspicions, kill Ji and make an example of the monkey?

Who is it for?

He couldn't think of it.

Guo Jia will not explain any more.

Looking at the south, Guo Jia often looked in that direction after the official crossing.

His eyes had already been aimed at Jingzhou.

With a decision on the war in the northwest, Wu Yi suddenly had a sad face, and asked Guo Jia in a low voice: "Lord, I have a gap with the Metropolitan Governor, and I still don't understand the intention of the lord." ”

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth raised slightly, and he didn't seem to be worried about the contradictions between his generals.

"Don't worry, one day, you'll understand. Xingba tied you up and sent you back to Chang'an, and in the next year, you will go to Hanzhong to serve as the unification of the capital. ”

Guo Jia looked at the pond with fallen leaves, and smiled wryly.

Wu Yi was shocked, and his expression was full of worry.

Whose subordinate is the Hanzhong Sailor?

Gan Ning is the Governor of the Water Division!

Guo Jia transferred Wu Yi to the sailor again, and returned to Hanzhong after Gan Ning pacified the northwest, then Wu Yi was still Gan Ning's subordinate, and there would be more fierce contradictions at that time.

Wu Yi couldn't understand Guo Jia's intentions, but he took the order and didn't ask again.

Out of the corner of Guo Jia's eyes, he suddenly saw Guo Ying hurriedly running out, turned around and asked the people in the pavilion, "Why is she going?" Running in such a hurry. ”

Cai Yan raised his voice and said to Guo Jia: "Ying Ying heard Ye'er say that Gan Gui carried him on his back and survived the battlefield, so she went to thank Brother Xiaojiu, hehe." ”

"She doesn't add luàn to others is the biggest thanks, find a few maids to keep up with her, the weather is getting colder, and bumps are the easiest to hurt."

Guo Jia smiled heartily, and returned to the pavilion after Wu Yi retired, Cai Yan stroked the qin, and Guo Ye danced the sword, as if carefree.

Gan Ning led the army to camp in Guangzhi, and after receiving the grain and grass equipment sent by Guo Jia, he planned to send troops to Yumén Pass after winter!

The war in the northwest had always been on Cao Cào's radar, and he hoped that Han Sui would make trouble for Guo Jia, or at least delay Guo Jia's unification of Kansai.

When information from Kansai reached Xuchang, Cao immediately summoned his advisers to discuss.

Cao Cào must attack Hebei before Guo Jia unified Guanxi, otherwise Guo Jia has no worries, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be able to sit on the throne when Cao Cào is ready to reap the benefits, and only by expanding his territory to Hebei can Cao Cào arrange the fortifications of Guanxi more calmly.

Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan fought hard in Qingzhou, and Cao Cào prepared for half a year, and finally decided to pick the fruits of victory.

Cao Cào decided that in the coming year, he would personally lead the army to smash Yecheng!
