Three Kingdoms: Showdown, I am Cao Cao The first thousand two hundred and thirty-ninth chapters are not good for those who come, and those who see them are unhappy
The first thousand two hundred and thirty-ninth chapters are not good for those who come, and those who see them are unhappy
Chapter 1,239: It’s not a good idea to come, it’s unpleasant to see
Compared with the explosive frontline battlefield, Gan Ning's side seemed safe and calm.
But in fact, the pressure in Gan Ning's heart at this time is not huge - after the Battle of Chibi, Gan Ning has not participated in such a major battle for a long time. Faced with the rapidly changing situation, even he has a few more
Feeling of discomfort.
But this does not prevent him from looking forward to what he will do next...
"The secret weapon...what is it..."
Gan Ning thought this in his heart, but his feet did not stop——
Wancheng is right in front of you. This city was the outpost of the Battle of Hefei. In recent years, it is the only city that Sun Quan has taken away from Cao Cao. A few years ago, this place was still heavily guarded... But behind, Lu Meng
After being defeated by Guan Yu, in order to alleviate the crisis on the front line of Jiangxia, not to mention Wancheng, a large number of soldiers and horses of the Lujiang army were mobilized in the direction of Qichun.
Of course... Later, because of Zhang Zhao, he stationed heavy troops in the area from Wuchang to Chaisang. When he was overthrown, a large number of soldiers and horses in Jiangdong were killed by Liu Bei and others who had been stationed in Chaisang not long ago.
Card owner.
In addition to the 30,000 elite navy troops led by Gan Ning who were taken away by him, there were nearly 30,000 county soldiers who fled and scattered.
As a result, various places in Lujiang County that had mobilized troops to support the front line now simply have no reserve sources of troops.
Otherwise, Liu Bei and others would not be advancing so fast——
——
At dawn, Gan Ning finally led his small group of soldiers and horses to the outside of Wancheng... The only thing he wanted to know now was who was the guard of Wancheng now.
He motioned for everyone to stop, and everyone stopped in an uninhabited village less than ten miles away from the gate of Wancheng. Gan Ning stood up and dismounted, and took out the envelope that Yi Xiaotian had given him before.
letter.
...If Cao Cao's subordinates, or Lu Xun, Lu Meng and others, may have become accustomed to Yi Xiaotian's way of explaining things.
But Gan Ning still felt a little awkward looking at the letter full of handwriting in his hand.
"Who was the last defender of Wancheng?"
Judging from Yi Xiaotian's tone in the letter, it seems that he still knows the guard general of Wancheng?
So he asked casually to the people around him.
Someone in the know blurted out...
"When Wancheng still belonged to Cao Cao in the north, its guard was Zhu Guang, the prefect of Lujiang... But after my lord and the others led troops to break the city, Wancheng was also managed by Lord Lu Fan. But it has been so long, I heard
It is said that Master Lu Fan has returned to Wu County, then maybe..."
"Empty city?"
Hearing Lu Fan's name, Gan Ning remembered something... But when his subordinate said this, Gan Ning realized...
"My lord once said that before meeting us, most of the officials and generals from Lujiang and Qichun had already gone back to Wujun's base camp through various means."
"It seems that my lord and the others are really short of troops. Wancheng is such an important place. Because of the lack of troops, we have no choice but to give up..."
Gan Ning sighed, feeling some self-blame in his heart... If... if he had not been deceived by Zhang Zhao, if he had not been blinded by hatred, with him and the 30,000 troops coming around him, what would Sun Quan do?
As for such abjection?
Why was Jiangdong forced into such a desperate situation?
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Gan Ning put the letter away after receiving the instructions from Yi Xiaotian in the letter.
"The letter says that we should go directly into the city and someone will greet us."
"ah?
General...this...isn't this safe?"
Gan Ning glanced at his deputy general... and said in an annoyed voice:
"What else?
With us, you want to break the city?"
"No...no..."
"Then let's go, there's no point in talking!"
——
Of course, how could Yi Xiaotian lie to Gan Ning at such an important time?
In fact, it is indeed an old acquaintance of Yi Xiaotian who is "helping" the Jiangdong people to guard Wancheng.
As for why Yi Xiaotian was able to find someone to carry out some operations from behind Liu Bei and others in such an emergency situation, it must be attributed to Guo Jia.
Gan Ning was also a little nervous, but he had no choice now. As he led his team slowly to the open area outside Wancheng, there was suddenly more light on the originally silent city wall——
As if they had been waiting for a long time, a little spark lit up, and then the whole city wall lit up.
"General...this!"
Someone behind him was startled, thinking that they had been ambushed. Fortunately, Gan Ning was quite calm now. Looking closely, he found that the soldiers on the city wall had no intention of firing arrows at them.
My heart finally relaxed.
"Follow me closely."
Gan Ning said in a deep voice, walking slowly towards the city gate along the post road outside the city gate.
Sure enough, not long after, the city gate slowly opened amidst the calls of the soldiers, and what emerged from the city gate were two tall and thin men who did not look like military generals, and the men who followed them.
A troop of cavalry.
"General Gan, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Thank you for your hard work..."
Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed the other person's words and complimented him. Then he looked back at the soldiers behind him... and found that everyone had the same puzzled expressions as him.
Who is the stronger-looking Confucian scholar on the left?
Who is the thinner-looking young scholar on the right?
Seemingly sensing Gan Ning's doubts, the younger man rode up to meet Gan Ning. He came to Gan Ning alone. He first smiled at him, and then introduced him in a tone that was neither humble nor overbearing:
"I guess sir, you haven't introduced our identities to the general yet?"
"Your Excellency, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, are from Youjian Villa... Mr. Accountant, if the general doesn't mind, you can just call me "Fengxiao". If you have any questions next, I will try my best to answer them for the general. As for the person who is traveling with me...
…”
Guo Jia paused, lowered his tone slightly, and whispered to Gan Ning:
"That one is the grandson of Sikong Wang Chang, who is also the current Duke of the Great Han Dynasty, King Can and Wang Zhongxuan..."
"Wait...wait a minute!?"
Gan Ning heard nothing wrong before. He knew that Yi Xiaotian was the owner of the so-called Youjian Villa. Of course... his understanding of Youjian Villa was only at the stage of hearing about it, but after all, he was related to Yi Xiaotian.
Xiaotian tied up the things that made him famous. Guo Jia said that he was from Youjian Villa. After seeing Ma Yunlu's ability, Gan Ning did not dare to underestimate this young man who claimed to be Mr. Accountant.
But...something went wrong next...
Wang Can?
Is Wang Can the Wang Can he thought he was?
If so...then isn't this guy from Cao Cao?
For just a moment, Gan Ning couldn't hold back the murderous intention in his heart... Just as he was about to pull out the knife from his waist, Wang Canze walked slowly and alone in the distance.
