Chapter 313: The Fifth Column

(Thanks to the Great Alliance, the reward is heavier.) Thank you Zhao Wuxian 2014, although there is no lollipop, it is better than a lollipop.

With Xie Lone Boat Fishing, Great Love Egg Yolk, and Sun Devouring Demon's ticket support) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The sunset is obliquely shining, the half of the river is red, the distant mountains are flying waterfalls, and the blue sky is flowing rainbows.

At the foot of this picturesque Tongbai Mountain, Ma Han, Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, and Gan Ning sat down on the ground again.

The entourage was busy, warm wine and hot meat.

When Zhang Xiu revealed his identity, Gan Ning slapped his thigh and suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are Wancheng Zhang Wenjing!" I have admired the name for a long time, and the general who fought with me just now......"

"Hu Che'er."

Gan Ning laughed: "Beast Hu Che'er, I know, I know!" ”

While laughing, he greeted Hu Che'er who was on guard on the hillside.

Hu Che'er didn't know what to do, but he also admired Gan Xingba, who defeated himself and kept his hand, and others greeted him with a smile, so he naturally returned the salute.

Zhang Xiu's identity in Nanyang is very sensitive, and his appearance anywhere outside Wancheng will cause the Jingzhou generals to be highly vigilant, so when Zhang Xiu revealed his identity, he paid attention to Gan Ning's expression, and did not find any abnormal expressions other than surprise, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

Then there is Jia Xu's self-introduction.

Jia Xu is very famous in the Xiliang military system, but in Jingzhou, he has to say two.

If it was a year ago, Gan Ning really didn't know who he was.

However, to this day, Jia Xu's authority in Luoyang is getting heavier and heavier, and he uses Shangshu to carry out Shangshu orders, as if he is fighting against the Three Princes.

The real power is still excessive, well-known at home and abroad, and even a small official like Gan Ning who does not pay much attention to the affairs of the court knows it.

Knowing that it was Jia Junshi (general), Gan Ning's face was full of surprise, and he quickly straightened his posture.

Respectfully and respectfully.

Gan Ning was born in a strong family, and once he became serious, his etiquette was still impeccable.

When his gaze turned to Ma Han's face, Fang Cai's respectful appearance flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "I know who is under my feet!" ”

Ma Han smiled and groaned, "Hmm." I'm a little bit more famous than Jia Junshi, as you can guess. ”

Gan Ning stared at him and said word by word: "Liaodong Tianju, Ma Jinglong!" ”

Ma Han arched his hand: "No, it's exact." ”

Gan Ning finally balanced his mind and took a long breath: "I thought I would be defeated in the hands of a nobody." It was really depressed, but it turned out to be Liaodong Tianju - Gan Ning visited the hussar general, hoping that the general would forgive Ning's previous offense. ”

The ritual is even more than paying homage to Jia Xu.

Ma Han got up, stepped forward, held Gan Ning's arms with both hands, and said with a smile: "If I had known that Xingba was here, I would have come to Nanyang a long time ago." ”

One word.

The meaning of appreciation is fully revealed.

Gan Ning was just a nobody at this time, and no one appreciated him.

I never imagined that the dignified hussar general, who was close to the Son of Heaven, would value himself so much that he was so surprised and excited that he couldn't speak.

Ma Han is the main father, and he can only point to the end.

If you solicit it next, you have to talk to others.

For example, Jia Xu.

Jia Xu has always seen different people and said different things.

For a hero like Gan Ning, what he said was also straightforward: "The lord prospered in Liaodong, flourished in the Central Plains, became the lord of Luoyang, worshiped the hussars, cultivated the whole army, and forged ahead." There are countless heroes in the world, and only the lord's public opinion is the bull's ear. The male among the people, how can he be sideways and do nothing? Now my lord is invited, Wen Jing comes to the court, there is such an example, why don't Gan Jun follow suit, share the grand event with us, and live up to the ambition of his life. ”

I have to say that Jia Xu's words came to Gan Ning's heart.

In the same Nanyang, if it is said that Zhuge needs to look at the thatched house three times, it is a subject; That Gan Ning is the master of the three searches, and he is absolutely attacking.

For the first time, he traveled thousands of miles from Bashu to Liu Biao, but he was thrown into idleness, and his ambition was difficult to pay.

If he hadn't met Ma Han, Gan Ning would have abandoned the table and went south to Huang Zu in Jiangxia next year, and in the battle between Huang Zu and Sun Quan, he shot Ling Cao and made a great achievement.

But even so, because he was a guest general, he was not respected by Huang Zu, but he was suspicious of him.

made people secretly disperse and buy his subordinates, causing Gan Ning's subordinates to become scarce day by day.

Gan Ning searched for the master for the second time, but still ended in failure.

For the third time, Gan Ning still took the initiative to attack, and heard that Sun Quan in Jiangdong had set up a "Recruitment Hall"

, After recruiting talents from all over the world, he resolutely broke through many obstacles regardless of whether he had shot Sun Quan's favorite general and whether he would be disgusted by him.

With the help of Su Fei, the general of Huang Zu's department, Mingli served as the magistrate of Yi County, secretly fled to Jiangdong, and finally put himself under Sun Quan's account, and achieved his life's ambition.

Such a figure with a strong sense of seeking the Lord and making meritorious deeds is rare in the entire Three Kingdoms.

It can be said that as long as Ma Han's cousin can be recognized by Gan Ning, even if he is not in person, he only needs to send someone to say hello, and Gan Ning will lead a group of brothers to take the initiative to go north to join him, and he doesn't need to pay for the journey...... So, can Ma Han's expression be recognized by Gan Ning?

The eyes of Ma Han, Jia Xu, and Zhang Xiu were all on Gan Ning, and Ma Han was even more nervous in his heart.

Because if Gan Ning refused, in order not to expose his hiding and for the sake of Zhang Xiu's safety, he had only one choice: to take down Gan Ning and annihilate his entourage...... That would be a pity.

Gan Ning's answer was far more refreshing than Ma Han imagined: "If you want me to be attached, you only need the general to promise me one condition." ”

Ma Han said solemnly: "You say." ”

The three of them originally thought it was some harsh terms, but they didn't expect that Gan Ning's mouth almost made people kneel.

"I heard that the general's archery skills are the best in the world, and the Hu people respect it as 'greedy wolf divine shooting'. Gan Ning is not talented, and he also has a small success in the bow and crossbow, and is willing to compete with the general. ”

Ma Han almost laughed out loud, this Gan Ning is too competitive.

If you can't fight on land, you can fight underwater, and if you can't win underwater, you want to redeem it with archery.

Looking back at the hillside, the "Ganning" shot with arrows

The two words, fluttering white feathers in the sunset, swaying gently with the wind, pleasing to the eye, are indeed a must.

It's no wonder that we are full of confidence and take on the challenge again.

Ma Han didn't say much, beckoned: "Take my bow." ”

Gan Ning also cheered up, stood up on the ground, looked back at his entourage and said, "Take my golden dragon bow, yes, it's the bow with the highest number of stones......"

The bow bag was taken, and the moment Ma Han pulled out the magic pupil bow, his bloody eyes flashed, and all the Xiliang pawns and Gan Ning's entourage who saw this strange bow all shivered.

Hu Che'er and a few Hu pawns even solemnly bowed to this legendary blood-eyed bow.

Gan Ning's eyes were immediately attracted: "This is ......"

"This is the Blood Horn Bow enshrined by the Xianbei people."

Ma Han handed the bow to Gan Ning and said with a light smile, "Do you want to try Xingba first?" ”

Gan Ning is also a good bow person, and he was overjoyed when he saw this: "Thank you." ”

As soon as I took the blood bow, I was stunned, how can there be two rounded corners (pulleys)?

There is inexplicably an extra crossbar (chord guard) at the bow handle, obediently, how can it be three strings?

Which one do you want to hook?

Or a handful of grabbing?

Ma Han smiled and hooked his fingers to Gan Ning, signaling him to return the bow, then put on his fingers, hooked a golden string with his thumb, and slowly pulled it away.

The pulley is rotating, the bow arm is bending, and in the slight creaking sound, the bow is like a full moon, the string is like gold, the wheel is like blood, and the arms are like holding the moon, which has a shocking sense of power and beauty.

Hu Che'er and Hu pawns had already stood up, and when they saw this, they went down to worship again.

"Good bow! It's a must-have in the world! ”

Gan Ning was full of praise, and his entourage had already taken his bow bag, but Gan Ning held it down and didn't open itβ€”he really couldn't take it.

Ma Han slowly reset the bowstring and handed it over to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning couldn't put it down and played with it for a while, but he heard Ma Hao laugh and said: "If Xingba can open and close this bow freely, I am willing to give it to my brother." ”

Gan Ning was surprised: "Really! ”

Ma Haw's head: "There is no lie." ”

Gan Ning was overjoyed, and immediately held the bow, hooked the string, and led the bow...... But in the next moment, his face changed.

It's easy to see the horse open the bow, but it doesn't feel right when it's your turn - in response to the old saying "It's not hard to see people carry the burden, but you can rest by yourself"

。

Gan Ning is really "step by step"

, with a pull, the blood vessels in both arms swelled, and the blue tendons on the forehead protruded.

When the bow was drawn into a full moon, a bronze face was already the same color as the river rendered by the setting sun.

Originally, some of the entourage were ready to cheer loudly, but when they saw that the young master's face was wrong, they obediently shut up.

After Gan Ning reset the bowstring, he took a deep breath, held the bow high above the top with both hands, and knelt on one knee: "Gan Ning returns the bow of the Lord God!" ”

Ma Han looked at each other and smiled at Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu and others.

That night, Ma Han and his entourage stayed in a Ganning village at the foot of Tongbai Mountain, and everyone talked with candles and discussed the future.

According to Ma Han's construction and Jia Xu's planning, it was decided that Zhang Xiu and Gan Ning would remain in their positions, maintain the current situation, and wait for the opportunity.

Once Ma Han frees his hand, the dragon and wolf go south, and the two will immediately change banners, echo from north to south, and Nanyang is just around the corner.

Under Gan Ning's suggestion, he and Zhang Xiu both cut their palms with meat cleavers, held blood oaths with each other, and waited for the summons.

Ma Han stretched out his hand to close the back of the two hands, and said solemnly: "One day, if the two gentlemen don't make a sound, it will be a blockbuster that will shock the world!" ”

Gan Ning's blood surged when he heard this, and he turned his head and shouted: "Bring wine, I will drink with you tonight, and I will rest when I get drunk." ”

When the wine was hot, an escort sent urgent information, Jia Xu took it, glanced at it, and smiled at Ma Han: "The fifth column has set off." ”

The fifth column is a code name, which means the shadow.

This code name was given by Ma Han, and including Jia Xu, I don't understand why it's called the "fifth column"

Such a strange name.

However, people are the lords, so they can be so capricious.

Ma Han is really not capricious, because this code name has a history.

On the eve of World War II, Franco, the leader of the Spanish rebels, attacked Madrid with the support of Nazi Germany.

When a reporter asked Franco which force would capture Madrid first, one of his commanders proudly said it was the "fifth column"

。

In fact, he had only four columns of troops at that time, the "fifth column"

It refers to the inner line that lurks in the city of Madrid.

After that, the "fifth column"

It has become synonymous with the inside line.

If you understand the origin of this codename, you will know how apt it is to call that shadow.

Ma Han took the information, smiled happily, and swept his eyes over the faces of Gan Ning and Zhang Xiu - in fact, it was not just this shadow.

Nanyang Gan, Zhang, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, how can they not be the fifth column?
