Early the next morning, Liu Qi ordered the account to be raised and discussed against Cao's army.

Liu Qi said: "Although Xiahoudun was defeated, but the Cao army still has hundreds of thousands of troops in Mopo and Runan, and they will come again. ”

Mi Zhu persuaded: "Cao's army is large, it is not suitable to divide troops, Yexian is close to the Central Plains, even if the city is broken, it may be difficult to defend it, and the troops will be lost in vain." ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Instead of waiting for the Cao army to attack, why not take the initiative to attack and fight on the front line?" Offense is the best defense. ”

Gan Ning came out and said: "The general's words are extremely true, and he is willing to be a pioneer!" ”

Zhang Fei also said: "I have 3,000 soldiers to guarantee to take Ye County." ”

Gan Ning said loudly: "A certain 800 Jinfan army is enough to break the city. ”

Zhang Fei said angrily: "I only need five hundred troops!" ”

Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "Although Yexian has few soldiers, it is not suitable to attack, if Yide goes, the Cao army will defend to the death, Xingba can take the city for the vanguard, and Yide will take the city for the rear army." ”

Gan Ning received the order, hugged his fist to Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "Although I have taken the first credit, I still have to rely on the general's name to defend the city." ”

Zhang Fei touched the stubble and was very dissatisfied: "This is really a person who is afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong!" ”

The two strode out of the house, and when they arrived at the camp to order troops, Gan Ning only took 800 Jinfan troops, and left with a greeting.

turned back to Zhang Fei and said loudly: "Yesterday's wine, the winner has not yet been decided, this time I have taken the credit, and when the reward is down, I will compete with you again." ”

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Xingba is ambitious! Although your martial arts are not as good as mine, you are not as good as me! ”

"Turtle son, you wait!" Gan Ning laughed and scolded and left the camp.

Since Gan Ning joined the army, the barracks have been lively, and the two have been competing all day long, although they are slightly inferior, but they never admit defeat, but they have become more and more frustrated.

Yesterday celebrated and drank, and the two fought again, each drinking five altars regardless of the winner, but unfortunately the stomach was not as big as Zhang Fei, and he couldn't drink it, and unfortunately lost.

Although they were pressed by Zhang Fei everywhere, the two had similar temperaments, but they were like-minded, they didn't know each other, and the more they fought, the closer they became.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are righteous lovers, friends of life and death, and Gan Ning are heart-to-heart, the two eat, drink and fight together, almost inseparable.

In the palace, Xu Shu arranged the affairs of taking prisoners and transporting grain and grass one by one, and then hugged his fists and said: "The capable person should occupy an important position, and since Kong Ming has arrived in the army, I am willing to resign from the post of military advisor from now on, and Kong Ming will take the position." ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "How does Yuan Zhi make this, the military advisor or you to serve as the commander?" ”

Wei Yan and others also persuaded each other, they had been convinced by Xu Shu, but they suddenly let a white-faced scholar be in an important position, and they were called by him, so they were naturally unconvinced.

Xu Shu waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, although I don't serve as a military advisor, I will also counsel the military aircraft." The Art of War: Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated, I will be in charge of intelligence in the future and assist Kong Ming. ”

Liu Qizheng was puzzled why Xu Shu abdicated, and nodded when he heard this: "Yuan Zhi is extremely worried, the two countries are in conflict, intelligence is the key to victory, Yuan Zhi is like my eyes and ears, and it is also indispensable." ”

He was preparing to set up a strict intelligence system, Xu Shu took the initiative to put it forward, and he was in the middle of it, this position mastered the core secrets, and he had to be able to screen and analyze intelligence, he and Zhuge Liang complemented each other, and they were indeed the best candidates.

When everyone saw Liu Qi making a decision, they had no choice but to take orders and go to prepare, Xiahou was confused and defeated, but the next battle against Cao Cao was the main event.

When Bowang dispatched troops, Gan Ning also led his troops to Yexian County, and the horses came forward to fight.

After Xiahoudun was defeated and retreated, he stayed with Han Hao to guard Ye County, and returned to Xuchang to report his guilt.

Many remnants of the army in the city were defeated, and they had not had time to transfer to Xuchang, and their morale was low.

At this time, it was too late to ask for help, so he hurriedly came to the city to supervise the battle, but saw that there were only hundreds of soldiers outside the city.

Han Hao asked, "Who is this general?" ”

The guard general Xiahou Jie sneered: "The person who came called himself Gan Ning turned out to be a water thief. ”

Han Hao looked at these hundreds of people, all dressed in fancy clothes, and the formation was scattered, not at all like well-trained elite soldiers.

Han Hao always felt that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and wondered: "What is the meaning of Liu Qi sending this person to attack the city?" ”

After being calculated by Liu Qi several times, he also became suspicious, and always felt that this matter was not so simple.

Xiahou Jie said with a smile: "Liu Qi is recruiting troops in Jingzhou, it must be these thieves who are unruly and unruly, and sending them to death is just the right thing for us." ”

Han Hao shook his head and said, "Don't be careless! ”

As he was speaking, the man urged him to step forward, and the momentum of a squirrel, with Xiahoudun's helmet on the tip of the knife, shouted lazily: "Someone has lost three or four and left the armor, who dares to take it back?" ”

"The dog thief is so bold, he deceives people too much!" Seeing this, Xiahou Jie was furious, kicked the city wall, and was about to go out of the city to fight.

Han Hao suddenly remembered that this person was the person who robbed the camp that night, and he was leading these eight hundred people to rampage in the camp, and no one could stop him, so he hurriedly persuaded: "This person is prepared, don't underestimate the enemy." ”

Xiahou Jie said angrily: "Gan Ning actually humiliated my uncle, is it tolerable or unbearable?" ”

Regardless of Han Hao's obstruction of leading the troops out of the city, in fact, he was not completely angry, but he saw that only eight hundred thieves had come, thinking that Liu Qi had deliberately sent them to death, and the credit for sending them to his eyes would not be taken, let alone when?

"Watch out!" Han Hao couldn't stop it, so he had to order the defenders to stretch their bows and arrows and wait for the battle.

Gan Ning saw that the guards were really provoked out of the city, and he was secretly happy in his heart, holding high the golden helmet and waiting alone in front of the battle.

Xiahou Jie urged the horse out of the city, and when he saw that Gan Ning did not retreat, he sneered: "Gan Ning, just a few hundred people dare to come to take the city, your courage is too big, right?" ”

Xiahou Jie is a son of the side branch of the Xiahou family, and has always been a personal soldier by Cao Cao's side, and this time he was responsible for transporting grain to Ye County, but he never had the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Now in the Xiahou family, the Xiahou brothers have stolen the limelight, and he always feels that he has not met Huai Cai, and it is finally time to perform!

Gan Ning laughed and said: "Gan is not only bold, but also bigger, do you want to be taught?" ”

Xiahou Jie stepped forward and shouted: "Water thief Gan Ning, do you recognize General Anton Xiahoujie?" ”

Gan Ning's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, the murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he pouted and smiled, shook his head and sighed: "I don't know." ”

"You ......" Xiahou Jie suddenly became angry, rode out of the horse, and shouted: "From now on, you should know my name!" ”

The war horse galloped out, and stabbed straight at Gan Ning, his marksmanship was guided by a famous teacher, and he was quite confident, otherwise he would not have become Cao Cao's personal guard.

Seeing that Gan Ning despised him, he wanted to fight and stand up, and his shot was the most powerful move, like pear blossoms falling rain, and the cold light covered Gan Ning's face.

"Good marksmanship!" Gan Ning exclaimed in surprise, and rode his horse to the side to avoid it, as if he didn't dare to attack the front.

"Guts and mice!" Xia Houjie thought that Gan Ning was timid, and became more and more proud.

Hui Ma swept over with a backhand shot, trying to knock him off his horse and capture him alive.
