Of course, there is also a reason for Ganshui's concerns, according to the news from Sunan, the barbarians have been repulsed, and the people of the three counties of Sunan have gradually returned to normal life.

In this case, the Violent Tiger Xiongguan naturally cannot be closed at every turn, after all, those people still have to enter and exit through this pass, if he forcibly closes it, I am afraid it will cause problems.

However, the opening of the pass also means that the Violent Tiger Xiongguan is in danger of being captured, even if this danger is very slim, he does not dare to be careless.

This is why Ganshui did not dare to move troops at will.

Of course, if his opponent is someone else, such a move is naturally no problem, but unfortunately, he is facing an opponent that he can't cope with at all! All mediocre means are so naïve.

On this day, the soldiers of the Tiger Xiongguan began to rotate on duty, as in the past.

There are 20,000 soldiers in the Violent Tiger Pass, and only 2,000 are really defending the city, and the rest of the soldiers are stationed in the large camp in the pass, which is some distance from the pass.

However, 2,000 men are more than enough to guard the pass, and if someone raids the pass, the rest of the troops can come in the shortest possible time.

As soon as the shift was changed, the soldiers on duty began to get bored, watching the people in and out every day, there was really nothing interesting, and they were guarding the city tower, no better than those guys at the city gate, they could eat and take cards, and in their spare time, this group of people could only chat and pass the time.

"Hey, have you heard, the grain transport team hasn't brought grain over for two months."

"I've heard about this, I have a buddy who is at the grain store, and he told me that now our grain can only last for a week."

When the soldier heard this, he was a little incredulous, "So? Doesn't that mean we're running out of food? ”

"Alas, who said it wasn't, but the news was still suppressed from above, I just don't know, when the food is really out of food, what else can we eat."

"Who do you think this would do?"

"Who else? Those rebels! I heard that the troops from the capital were all scared, and now they are huddled on the border of Danyang County and Zhongping County, and there is no action. ”

"Cut, the Beijing army is just all the rich soldiers who are powerful, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it has to be our northern soldiers."

"I also think that even the anti-thieves can't deal with it, this is not an appropriate young master soldier."

"It's a pity that General Gan refused to let us go to support, so he let us guard this useless slope, and now that the barbarians have been driven away, I don't understand what's the use of still staying here?"

"Shhhh

When the soldier heard this, he looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then whispered in the ear of another soldier: "I heard that we are staying here to prevent that ......."

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of Linjiang City.

When the other soldier saw it, he immediately understood, and also pointed in the direction of Linjiang City.

"You're talking about the one?"

The soldier nodded, the meaning obvious.

"Don't tell anyone else, or you and I will ...... at that time."

As soon as they thought of this topic, the two soldiers immediately shook their heads and shuddered.

This topic is beyond the scope of their discussion, and if they accidentally listen to it, it will be a loss of their heads.

"Back to what I said just now, you said that your brother in the grain reserve knows the news, what is General Nagan going to do? It's impossible to wait until the time is really out of food to think about it, right? ”

"Don't worry, I heard that General Gan is about to make a big move, and my brother over there in the grain reserve has already started to pack his luggage."

"Shhh This news is top secret, how do you know? ”

"The top secret of the fart, the people around me have heard about it, and you kid is stupid every day, and you don't know anything."

"Shall we go, then?"

"Let's not think about it, don't you see that the person on duty recently is familiar? It shows that General Gan is ready to leave us here. ”

"Damn, I'm dying of boredom, stay here!"

"Who isn't, there's no way!"

"What are you two talking about? Concentrate on duty! A general suddenly came to the side, pointing at the two and scolding.

was scolded by the general on duty, and the two of them immediately became honest, they didn't want to be caught and then punished.

But the news that came out of the mouths of these two soldiers was really correct.

Now the Tiger Xiongguan has begun to face the dilemma of food shortage.

Several truckloads of grain and grass sent from the imperial court were robbed one after another, which made Ganshui a headache, and the most important thing was that he didn't even know who robbed it.

Now that the country is all traumatized in the end, the anti-thieves in the direction of Zhongping County are extremely rampant, and there are also some bandits around who are making trouble, and it is really normal for those truckloads of grain and grass to be robbed.

Gan Shui had already sent several waves of soldiers to respond, but the location where the grain and grass were robbed was earlier and earlier, which made him annoyed, the other party was like a monkey, and he couldn't catch it at all.

And Gan Shui didn't dare to send troops on a large scale to investigate, and until now, the grain and grass in the Violent Tiger Xiongguan have begun to run out.

Because of this, Ganshui had to change his strategy.

He decided to transfer 10,000 troops to support the Beijing army first, and then send more people to protect the grain route, as for the side of the Violent Tiger Xiongguan, leaving seven or eight thousand people to defend it.

There is no way, if you don't make a decision early, and wait for the day when the food is really cut off, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After all, many soldiers in the army now have a lot of complaints about their stationing here, they are originally soldiers from the north, not to mention far away from their homeland, if they run out of food because they are stationed here, sooner or later there will be problems with the morale of the army, which is a price he cannot bear.

The next day, Gan Shuiqin led 10,000 soldiers to the border between Danyang County and Zhongping County.

On this side of the Violent Tiger Xiongguan, he left his close aide-de-camp and about 8,000 soldiers to guard it.

In this regard, although Gan Shui was worried, he thought that he might be suspicious.

After all, who would do anything to their own people?

But the day after Gan Shui left, there was a commotion outside the Violent Tiger Xiongguan.

I don't know who closed the gate of the Tiger Xiong, causing the people in and out of the gate to be congested in front of the gate.

Hearing the news, the adjutant general left by Gan Shui immediately rushed to the pass.

Sure enough, now the pass is already full of people, but the Violent Tiger Pass has not been opened for a long time.

There were noisy human voices everywhere, and people were very irritated to hear.

Seeing the closed gate, the adjutant general immediately shouted angrily: "Soldier! Soldier! ”

Unknown soldiers immediately surrounded them.

"What's going on?"

The soldiers shook their heads, too, indicating that they did not know.

"I don't know? You're in charge of guarding the gate, and now the door is closed, and you tell me you don't know? ”

"General, the guard in charge of the gate is closing the door now, so I'll call him over."

Because the side of the pass was almost congested and impassable, the soldier struggled to squeeze in.
