The task Liu Bei gave Gan Ning was to slow down Cao Cao's march, and he only led 2,000 troops. Every time, he just chased after Cao Cao and fought hard for a while before leaving.
This is not because he is afraid, but Cao Cao's troops and horses behind him are not that weak, and every time he catches up, the enemy will have reinforcements to rescue him. If the battle lasts for a long time, it will be difficult to escape.
Later, after Cao Cao left many soldiers and horses to cut off, Gan Ning rushed forward and fought hard for a while before leaving, leaving the enemy no time to react.
Now, he was leading his troops and horses in a hurry, and suddenly the cavalry reported that there was an enemy general riding alone in front of him with a sword, standing on the road, and there seemed to be enemy soldiers lurking on the side of the road.
"Ride alone to stop the enemy! Is there such a fierce general in Cao's army? Then I have to go and see it."
Gan Ning carried a bell on his back. The bell would ring when he walked around, and the two feathers on his back would sway in the wind.
"Sima, Cao Cao is good at setting up ambushes. Zhang Yide was ambushed and defeated by him before, so we should be careful."
The military lord who followed from Jingzhou advised.
"Afraid of me, huh, how many people can Cao Cao ambush? If he ambush less, he can't defeat us, but if he ambush too many, he can hold them all back, and wait for the lord to bring his troops to kill them. Go, let someone tell Uncle Chen first
Come, ask him to pay attention to meet us, and then ask him to send someone to inform the lord. If Cao Cao really ambushes his troops, it will be a credit to us, haha..."
"promise."
The military lord next to him quickly responded and asked someone to tell Chen Dao who was behind him.
However, Gan Ning was not afraid of returning and kept paying attention to the movement on the roadside as he rushed forward.
After walking two or three miles, I saw someone riding alone two or three hundred steps ahead, wearing armor and holding a knife in his hand.
A little further along the road, there were several flags that seemed to be hidden, as if they were hiding soldiers and horses.
"Sima, the enemy general is riding alone in the way. He must be trying to lure us to pursue him. Then he will ambush his troops and cut off our retreat. They will attack us from both front and back, hoping to kill us."

The military lord said next to him again.
Of course Gan Ning knew Cao Cao's intentions. If not, how could he dare to leave only one person to stop him.
"Are you afraid?" Gan Ning turned to stare at the military prince and asked.
"Of course I'm not afraid. Sima isn't afraid, so how can I be afraid?" Junhou quickly replied.
"You have been following me for so long. You should know that even a thousand troops can't stop me, let alone just one enemy general. If an enemy general blocked our way, it wouldn't make people laugh to death if word spread."
Gan Ning continued: "If you die, you will get a scar on your head. Remember, I will chase the enemy general alone later. Don't run around, and don't run too fast. When the enemy ambush comes out, you must resist."
Stay here, don't smear my reputation. Wait until Chen Shuzhi and my lord lead the troops to help and destroy the ambush. I will not lose your reward for my meritorious service."
"Sima, are you going to chase the enemy general alone?"
The military prince couldn't believe it. He, the commander-in-chief, knew that there was an ambush, but he was still willing to ambush him and pursue the general who lured the enemy. Wouldn't that mean he was going to die on his own?
"Yes, since Cao Cao set up an ambush, he must have thought that we would pursue him with all our troops, and then the ambush would come out again. If I chase alone, and you move forward slowly, the ambush troops will move out slowly, and the general who lured the enemy will also move forward slowly.
In this way, it will be easier for me to catch up with him and cut off his head to offer it to the lord. The lord has heard of my name for a long time, so I have to show it off no matter what this time, so as not to betray my reputation."
"Sima, let me chase with you!"
"No, you are here to lead the crowd. Remember, don't run too fast, let alone cause chaos. Don't be afraid, brothers. The lord's army is behind you. As soon as the enemy ambush comes out, the lord's soldiers and horses will kill them.
This is the time for meritorious service and reward, so let them all have the courage not to be afraid of death."
"promise."
Li Dian's military power was actually very average. Historically, when he and Zhang Liao defeated eight hundred thousand in Hefei, Zhang Liao made Sun Quan and the people of Jiangdong famous and fearful, but Li Dian died because of it. In the end, he got a victory just like Xia Houyuan.
The posthumous title of "Minhou".
The posthumous title goes like this: "When the country encounters difficulties, it is called Min; when the people are injured, it is called Min; when the country suffers from sorrow, it is called Min; when disaster occurs, it is called Min."
Being posthumously named "Minhou" expresses sympathy and pity. However, Zhang He was also posthumously named "Zhuanghou" because he died in battle, and Pound was also posthumously named "Zhuanghou".
As for the others, Zhang Liao is a "Ganghou", Le Jin is a "Weihou", Xu Huang is also a "Zhuanghou", Li Tong is a "Ganghou", Zang Ba is a "Weihou", and Wenpin is a "Zhuanghou"
, Xu Chu is also a "Zhuanghou", only Yu Jin is a "Lihou", and among Cao Cao's many famous generals, only Dianwei does not have a posthumous title or a title.
Perhaps it was because Dian Wei's status was so low that he didn't even have a nickname, so he was neither granted a title nor a posthumous title.
If this is the case, then Dian Wei's death is really not worth it.
Li Dian looked at the enemy soldiers who suddenly stopped in the distance, thinking that Gan Ning and others did not dare to move forward because they saw that he was riding alone blocking the road and saw the looming flag on the roadside, thinking that there was an ambush.
He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling slightly proud.
Not only was he proud that Guo Fengxiao had such a clever plan, but he was also proud that he could make a great contribution.
Unfortunately, Li Dian's pride did not last long and slowly turned into worry.
He saw that the man leading the troops in the distance, the man with the evil spirit on his body, actually slapped his horse and ran towards him.
Li Dian couldn't help but feel nervous. How could this man dare to charge? Wasn't he afraid of an ambush?
He never expected that although Guo Jia's plan was feasible, it was just that neither Guo Jia nor Cao Cao understood Gan Ning.
If it was Chen Dao who led the troops chasing him, or Zhou Ping and Li Jia, they might have doubts and not dare to move forward rashly, but would search and move forward.
Even Zhang Fei may not dare to move forward casually because he was defeated once.
If it is a search and advance, even if it is finally known that there is no ambush, it will be delayed a lot of time, and Cao Cao's goal can be achieved.
But now, Gan Ning only stopped for a moment, seemed to just tell his subordinates a few words, and then rushed towards him.
The opponent's troops and horses were slowly marching forward in groups, which made Li Dian confused as to what the opponent's move meant.
If the opponent was not afraid of an ambush, why did only the general come forward? If the opponent was afraid of an ambush, how could they dare to move forward?
Many doubts made Li Dian nervous, but when he saw that the other party was coming with only one horse, his nervousness eased slightly.
It seems that the other party still believes that there is an ambush. In this case, I will run after you first to make you believe that I deliberately lured the enemy.
Li Dian thought about it, and when Gan Ning ran less than a hundred steps away from him, he reined in his horse, patted the horse and drove away. He looked back from time to time, and even waved to Gan Ning, asking him to continue chasing.
When most people encounter this kind of thing, they will definitely think that the other party is deliberately tempting them to pursue them.
Gan Ning actually thought so too, but he was not afraid. This is called following a plan. If you want to ambush me, I will ambush you back.
You must know that Gan Ning dared to break into Cao Cao's camp of 400,000 soldiers and horses at night with only a few hundred men. How could such a person be frightened by one person?
If you want to scare him, then he is the only one who can scare you. Even Guan Yu didn't dare to cross the river after coughing.
Li Dian raced his horse and ran for nearly three miles. When he turned around, he saw that the enemy general was chasing him closer and closer. It seemed that he would not give up until he caught up with him.
At this time, the enemy soldiers were no longer visible.
Li Dian was panicked. After all, there was not really an ambush. However, he thought again. There was only one person chasing the enemy general, and he was also alone. Why not fight with him? Maybe he could kill the enemy general. In this way, he might also be able to block the enemy.
The army pursues the soldiers.
Li Dian thought about it, suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, turned his horse's head, raised his sword, and waited for Gan Ning.
Gan Ning was worried that the enemy would run too fast and it would be difficult for him to catch up. Fortunately, he stopped on his own.
Although he had caught up with the enemy general, Gan Ning also paid attention to both sides of the road, guarding against enemy soldiers suddenly rushing out or hidden arrows.
"Why don't you run away?"
Gan Ning reined in his horse thirty steps away from Li Dian and asked with a sneer.
"Haha, if you run away, how can I take your head?"
Li Dian swung his sword and pointed it at Gan Ning.
"Let your ambush soldiers come out quickly, don't let them hide."
Gan Ning looked to both sides and saw a horse stopped in the distance in front of him. It seemed to be an enemy scout. He was standing on horseback and looking towards here. Then he patted the horse and hurried away.
"Haha, if I take your head, why should I send out an ambush? Tell me your name quickly, so as not to become a nameless ghost."
Li Dian shouted sharply.
"This is Gan Ning, who are you?" Gan Ning replied with a smile.
"Li Dian is right."
As Li Dian spoke, he suddenly slapped his horse and rushed towards Gan Ning.
"Ring ring ring..."
As the bell rang on his body, Gan Ning also urged his horse to meet him.
As the two horses approached, Li Dian roared: "Suffer death!"
He raised his sword and struck at Gan Ning.
Gan Ning didn't know the depth of the opponent, so he quickly raised his knife to block it.
But he easily blocked the opponent's sword and couldn't help but smile scornfully: "You are so ignorant that you dare to block me. Are there any generals in Cao Cao's army who are incompetent?"
Li Dian's knife was blocked, and then he was struck with another knife.
Gan Ning blocked it again, turned the knife with his backhand, and swept it away from Li Dian.
After being deflected twice, Li Dian knew why the other party dared to pursue him alone.
This is a man who uses force to bully others and is bold and not afraid of death. He was careless!
But regretting it was useless now. He quickly raised his knife to block it. Although he blocked Gan Ning's blow, the opponent continued to slash at him with the knife faster than the other.
After only playing a dozen rounds, Li Dian was already in a hurry and looking for an opportunity to escape.
"Ring ring ring..."
When Gan Ning swung his sword, the bell on his body would ring. As the bell rang louder and faster, the sword became more and more violent.
Li Dian was shocked, knowing that he would lose if he continued to fight, but the opponent was still fighting hard, and even if he tried to escape, he could not find a chance.
At this moment, the big knife in Li Dian's hand was suddenly knocked out by the opponent, who shouted loudly: "Death."
The big knife struck down the head.
Li Dian looked at the rapidly falling knife and wanted to dodge it, but he didn't know how to dodge it and it was too late to dodge it.
Gan Ning wiped the blood that splashed on his face and spat out a mouthful: "Hmph, the thief general has so much blood."
He dismounted and carried Li Dian's body to Li Dian's horse. He then rode a horse and led another horse back leisurely.
As for whether the enemy scouts just now would move in for reinforcements, he wasn't afraid!
