Chapter 902: Yan Yan eats soft but not hard

"Jinfan" Gan Ning's reputation in Shu is indeed loud enough. As long as it is a young Han man, they have more or less heard of Gan Ning's "glorious deeds"

When he was young, Gan Ning killed people in the county and hid his life, which can be described as the "idol" of young people. He is in and out of the country, majestic and dazzling. On foot, the Chen train rides, and the water line connects to the light boat. The attendants, dressed in splendid clothes, are brilliant wherever they go. When staying, the boat is often maintained with splendid splendor, and when leaving, it must be cut off and discarded to show that it is rich in luxury.

is such an unprofessional guy, but there are also things to admire. Although the Shu people called Gan Ning and his brothers as "Jinfan Thief", Gan Ning was a very righteous and trustworthy person, as long as he promised to do something, he would not repent and change his words.

The breakthrough battle launched by nearly 40,000 Yizhou troops under the leadership of Yan Yan certainly ended in failure, and the main general Yan Yan was also knocked unconscious and captured by Gan Ning before the battle, but the remaining 30,000 people are not a small number, if it were not for Gan Ning to show his unique signboard in time, it would not have been so easy to persuade all of them to surrender. Even if 30,000 pigs are placed in the valley of Nanshan Lagu, it will take a long time for the soldiers of the South Route Army to attack them, not to mention the 30,000 elite soldiers holding swords and wearing rattan armor.

Of course, if Tai Shi Ci and Gan Ning just wanted to wipe out all Yan Yan's troops, they would not have spread such a big pocket in Nanshan Lagu. Directly when Yan Yan first passed through Nanshan Lagu from Mu Mi, he used a burst of firearms, and then buried a large number of thunderbolts in the valley, ensuring that Yan Yan and 50,000 Yizhou soldiers were all buried in Nanshan Lagu, and not even a whole corpse was left.

In fact, Tai Shici and Gan Ning were very fond of these Yizhou soldiers. Gan Ning once discussed with Tai Shici the characteristics of Yizhou soldiers, which had the advantages of hard-working and obedience to orders. The soldiers of a unit are easy to feed themselves by enduring hardships and hard work, and if they obey orders, they are easy to manage and can quickly bring out their fighting strength.

Zhao Xing also commented on the soldiers in the states of the world, and he believed that the most suitable for mountain warfare were the soldiers in Yizhou and southern Jingzhou. Zhao Xing remembered that the Hunan army and the Sichuan army in later generations were particularly hard-working troops, relying on inferior equipment to resist the crazy strangulation of the little devils with huge casualties, and won a strategic buffer period for China.

Tai Shi Ci and Gan Ning were very confident that they would take the Yizhou soldiers for their own use, just because the treatment of the Jin troops far exceeded that of other forces, and the humanized management and education methods were all tried and tested effective means. Starting from Hexi Qianghu, the Yansheng tribe, the Yaoxing tribe, the Yanqi tribe, the Fuyu people, and the Tamluo people...... How many unruly races were subdued by the king of Pingxi.

As for the surrender of troops from various forces within the Han nationality and finally joined Zhao Xing's command, it is even more countless. At least more than half of Zhao Xing's troops were surrendered by other forces, and most of the remaining half were from the Yellow Turban refugees who rebelled that year.

In Zhao Xing's opinion, since Taizu could bring a group of peasants, bandits, bandits, and water bandits to fight the world, he could also transform the troops left by various forces into his own troops. The vigorous development of the Jin army in the past ten years has in fact proved that Zhao Xing's approach is completely feasible. Therefore, it is not surprising that Tai Shici and Gan Ning, who were deeply influenced by Zhao Xing, came up with the idea of merging the regular troops of Yizhou.

The Yizhou soldiers who surrendered now know that they were defeated by the regular troops of the Jin State led by Tai Shici and Gan Ning, and they feel much better. Losing to the Southern Barbarians would make them feel useless, but losing to the Jin troops with "Flamingos" and "Shenwei Cannons", the Yizhou soldiers did not feel much shame. Just ask, what other army in this world can defeat the troops of the Jin Kingdom?

Wang Lu, who has rich experience in accepting and surrendering troops, was directly appointed by Tai Shici as the main person in charge of the placement of 40,000 Yizhou surrendered troops, which is not an easy task. However, for Wang Lu, the surrender of 40,000 Yizhou troops is nothing, he followed Guan Yu to collect and surrender many troops, and has accumulated rich experience.

The 60,000 troops that Yan Yan brought from the northern line of Yizhou to the south were completely explained at the foot of Tanyu Mountain. About 20,000 of them completely withdrew from the battlefield because of casualties, and the remaining 40,000 all put down their weapons and honestly became prisoners. The casualties of the attacking South Route Army were only 5,000, of which more than 3,000 were wounded soldiers who had been treated.

At the cost of sacrificing more than 1,000 soldiers, in exchange for the 60,000 troops of Yizhou, Tai Shi Ci and his three tiger generals plus the military advisor Li Ru were all good! Especially when Tai Shi Ci asked Gan Ning to be his vanguard general by name, it seems that now it is really the best hand.

The army silently cleaned up the battlefield, built a cemetery on each side of the valley, buried the soldiers of both sides who died in the Nanshan Valley, and then returned to Kunze City. As for the thousands of soldiers who stayed behind in Mumi, they also escorted the Yizhou soldiers who surrendered earlier in the city, and returned to Kunze with the army.

After such a movement war, whether it is the attacking southern army or the surrendered Yizhou soldiers, they need to take a good rest. The small city of Mumi was neither safe nor able to accommodate such a large number of troops, so Tai Shici returned to Kunze with his troops, where the army could be supported by several cities, including Dianchi.

Three days had passed since the Battle of Nanshan Lagu, and in a mansion in Kunze City, Yan Yan, who had fainted, finally woke up slowly, and then he found himself wearing clean cotton clothes and lying on a very comfortable soft couch.

At this time, it is still early spring in February, and even if the climate in the Kunze area is warm, if you only wear single clothes, you will feel a little cold. The room where Yan Yan cultivated was placed with a bamboo charcoal brazier, and the room was warm and comfortable.

Yan Yan, who gradually came back to his senses, carefully recalled the picture before he fainted, and then remembered that he seemed to have been kicked in the chest by Gan Ning and lost consciousness. He shouted loudly outside the door, "Let the little thief Gan Ning come to see me quickly!" Even if there was no one in the room, Yan Yan knew that he must have been a prisoner now, so he shouted unceremoniously outside the house.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to hear Gan Ning's babbling voice outside the house.

"Squeak!" The door was pushed open from the outside, and then Gan Ning was heard grinning and said, "Old Yan, I heard that the first person you woke up called was me?"

Yan Yan, who had already sat up, said expressionlessly: "Let me ask you, what the hell is going on!"

Gan Ning knew that what Yan Yan wanted to ask now was the cause and effect of the whole thing, so he started from being sent to the Water Division City of the Jin State to talk about the time when the King of Pingxi sent a large army to land in Jiaozhou and attack the southern part of Yizhou.

Yan Yan listened to Gan Ning's explanation, raised his head and sighed, and said, "Alas, it is really not unjust to lose in your hands!"

Gan Ning said: "Lao Yan, you should recuperate in Kunze with peace of mind, the Sima family is at the end of the road, I don't advise you to switch to the camp immediately, I just hope you can persuade the Yizhou brothers in the city, it is definitely better to follow the King of Pingxi than to follow the Sima family, there is no need for everyone to accompany the Sima family to the funeral." ”

Yan Yan bowed his head and was silent, acquiescing to Gan Ning's request.
