On that day, the two armies were safe and sound, and they were on guard at night, and the third watch did not wait for Cao's army to beat the drums, but the drums on the south bank rose first.

Cao Jun was all shocked, all battalions were alarmed, and went out of the camp to defend, but saw that the shore was brightly lit, and the Jingzhou army held torches and laughed.

Lu Qian said angrily: "Zhuge Xiao'er dares to play tricks on me? ”

Xin Bi said with a smile: "Zhuge Liang's old tricks are repeated, and he is opposite to our army, which shows that his skills are poor, and I expect that there will be changes soon." ”

Lü Qian held back his anger and told the defenders to defend carefully, and the drums on both sides of the river continued to beat that night, Cao Jun beat drums in the upper mountains, and Jingzhou soldiers beat drums in the lower reaches in response, the two armies did not look like hostile fights, but seemed to echo each other to train soldiers.

For several days, the two armies confronted each other across the river and did not send troops, but later the soldiers gradually slackened, and disturbing the enemy became a routine like patrolling the camp, and the officers and men of the two armies were accustomed to it.

Zhuge Liang simply collected the soldiers and horses, and waited to see the changes, there was no drum sound this night, but Cao Jun roared in both ears, and it was difficult to sleep for a long time.

Xin Bi put on his clothes and went out of the tent, looked at the starry sky, and consulted with Lu Qian: "Zhuge Liang is scheming, and if he suddenly withdraws his troops, there must be other tricks, so you need to be more careful." ”

Lu Qian said with a smile: "A certain person sent troops to disturb the enemy, and he was about to take advantage of the situation to enter the army, how could he send troops?" There are soldiers and horses patrolling day and night on the riverbank, and there are also guards in the battalion. ”

When discussing countermeasures, a sudden report from Malay suddenly showed that a batch of grain and grass from Yingchuan was being transported from Yingchuan and was coming in the direction of Weishui.

"God help me!" Xin Bi couldn't help but be happy, and said: "The enemy army is blocked by me here, the men and horses are tired, I expect that Zhuge Liang has retreated, if he burns his grain and grass, he will withdraw his troops, and he can take advantage of the situation to counterattack." ”

"Mingfu Gaojian!" Lu Qian was overjoyed, and while dividing his troops to continue to harass the enemy, he sent someone to report to Wang Hui and ordered him to lead the elite soldiers from Songshan to cut off food.

The next day, Gan Ning came to fight again, Lu Qian could not hold out, in the evening, Wang Hui returned from the robbery of grain, personally went to the camp to report the victory, Cao Jun was all demoralized.

Lu Qian ordered someone to call Xin Bi and discussed: "The Jingzhou army has no food, and it will retreat overnight, and it can send troops tonight to defeat Zhuge Liang in a battle." ”

Wang Hui won a complete victory in the first battle, his confidence increased greatly, and he hugged his fists and said: "The last general sees that the Jingzhou army is also vulnerable except for a few people in Gan Ning, and it has been harassing the enemy for days, and if the camp is robbed tonight, it will be successful." ”

"No!" Xin Biyan said: "Zhuge Liang is cautious, and good at using troops, if the army retreats, there must be precautions, we wait for undefeated before we can win." ”

Wang Hui hurriedly said: "The Jingzhou soldiers are already exhausted, and if they don't take advantage of their military hearts to attack them at this time, I am afraid of missing the opportunity." ”

Xin Bi thought for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "Let's monitor the enemy's movements first, and it's not too late to make a decision tomorrow." ”

Jingzhou soldiers were robbed of grain and grass, Wu Ju only returned to the camp with hundreds of remnants, Zhuge Liang was furious, imprisoned and waited for the fall, and the camp was shaken.

Gan Ning said angrily: "Cao Jun is so bold, he dares to attack around the rear and deceive no one in our army? ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Cao Jun has changed from a defensive position to an offensive, which shows that he has been arrogant, and my plan has been successful!" ”

Xiahou Lan frowned and said: "The grain and grass have been robbed, and there are less than ten days left in the camp, what are the countermeasures of the military advisor?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Jun robbed the grain, I will go to rob the camp, who dares to go to break the enemy and help our army?" ”

Chen Zhi hugged his fists and said: "A certain wish goes." ”

Gan Ning hurriedly said: "A certain and Lu Qian have been confronted for many days, and the old thief refuses to fight, and today is just the right time, only eight hundred Jinfan troops are enough!" ”

Chen Zhiyan said: "A certain 500 white soldiers can also take the enemy's head. ”

Gan Ning sneered coldly: "A certain one only needs a hundred horses to break the enemy." ”

Chen Zhi frowned, glanced at Gan Ning, and retreated silently, the main task given to him by Liu Qi was to protect Zhuge Liang, and Bai Yubing could not fight recklessly like the bandits under Gan Ning.

Zhuge Liang said to Gan Ning: "Xin Bi is a wise and resourceful man, I am afraid that the Cao army will be on guard, and Xingba should not underestimate the enemy, let alone go deep into the enemy camp, if you see that you can't do anything, you should return quickly." ”

Gan Ning laughed and said: "I have already guessed a thing or two, just joking with Uncle Zhi, and it depends on whether I have the same heart and mind with the military advisor." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Xingba, wisdom and bravery, will definitely be able to return triumphantly, and you can give wine and food to help the army." ”

Gan Ning was ordered to return to the camp, and after a short time, the camp sent the wine and meat, and shared it with the Jinfan Army, everyone was puzzled, today was just robbed of food, and the army did not make an inch, why was it rewarded for no reason?

Gan Ning swallowed a piece of sheep kidney, got up and raised the bowl and said loudly: "Lao Tzu robbed the Wei camp with a hundred horsemen tonight, who will go with so-and-so?" ”

Everyone was shocked, and when they saw Gan Ning's unruly gaze sweeping over, after being stunned for a short time, they all waved their fists and shouted, they all wanted to fight with him.

"Ge Laozi, this is my brother!" Gan Ning laughed, raised his head to drink, wiped his mouth and greeted: "No one is allowed to fight, shake the dice, I'll talk about it if I win." ”

Su Fei hurriedly reminded: "Xingba, gambling is prohibited in the army!" ”

"Can it be called gambling?"

Gan Ning pushed him away, lifted the table directly, poured out the wine and food on it, stepped on the bench, and shouted: "Take the sieve!" ”

Xiahou Lan hurriedly reported to Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang laughed and ordered Wu Ju to take 3,000 troops and go to the estuary to ambush first, preparing to meet Gan Ning.

After the fourth watch in the second half of the night, Gan Ning took a hundred Jinfan troops to get on the horse and leave the camp, quietly came upstream, and waited quietly for the opportunity at the bridgehead.

After a while, a group of Cao troops came lazily, stretching their waists and yawning, huddled at the bridgehead for routine work, and the soldiers beating the drums even closed their eyes to relieve their fatigue.

"Brothers, come with so-and-so!" Gan Ning let out a deep sigh, and Pegasus rushed straight onto the bridge.

The sound of drums drowned out the sound of horses' hooves, and by the time Cao Jun found that there were people on the bridge, Gan Ning had already approached, shouting and wielding a knife to kill several people in succession.

Cao Jun was caught off guard and fled to both sides, but Gan Ning ignored it and went straight to Cao Jun's camp to take it.

The Cao army in the back was frightened and hurriedly beat the drum to warn, but the Cao army in the camp had long been accustomed to the sound of drums, thinking that it was disturbing the enemy as usual, and no one paid attention to it at all, and the defenders at the camp gate did not even close the gate, waiting for them to return.

Gan Ning rushed in first, the guards at the gate were scattered by the cavalry who followed up, and a group of patrol soldiers came in front, and Gan Ning rushed straight forward, like a plough court sweeping the hole, with countless casualties.

The defenders were frightened, and hurriedly beat drums and gongs, and the rapid sound of gongs and drums resounded throughout the camp, and Cao's army was finally awakened and got up one after another to meet the battle in a hurry.

Gan Ning led a hundred horsemen to gallop across the country, as if entering a no-man's land, the camp of Cao Jun did not know why, seeing Gan Ning urging the horses to kill, all of them escaped and ran around, and when he killed him, he drilled out and shouted warning in the back.

At this time, Gan Ning was like a violent pig dragon rampant across the river, if there was an obstruction in front, whether it was the enemy army or the camp, it was destroyed, Cao Jun avoided the front like a wave, and the rear gathered to follow, but no one dared to fight close to the front.

Gan Ning turned a blind eye to the surrounding enemy troops, and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, shouting: "Jin Ganning is here!" ”
