At this moment, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were no longer on the battlefield.
The two of them took Liu Bei and the Chinese army's nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and early took advantage of Chen arriving at Wei Yan to fight Gan Ning, and marched towards Wancheng without looking back.
Gan Ning was manipulated hard by Pang Tong.
Zhuge Liang did not make any sense of this plan.
They quickly reached a consensus - they did not expect Guan Yu Mi Fang and others to quickly support them, they should create their own opportunities in such a situation.
Although in the end, we still have to expect Guan Yu to win the battle, at least their situation is much better now.
Outside Wancheng, Pang Tong issued orders to the army. Although Chen Dao and others were still fighting the enemy on the front battlefield, they were still not in a hurry to attack Wancheng.
It was not until the army led by Wang Can hurried toward Wankou in the south in Wancheng that Pang Tong issued an order to attack the city with all his strength.
This plan could never be said to be brilliant, but it took advantage of Gan Ning's situation where he was unable to take care of both ends. In less than half an hour, the defenseless Anhui City was easily captured by them.
At this time, Gan Ning in Wankou had just resolved the crisis.
——
When Gan Ning realized that the enemy had changed its target and Wancheng was in danger, it was already too late.
The battlefield was still in a miserable state, but Gan Ning could not care so much and could only lead his tired soldiers and horses towards Wancheng in the north.
Wang Can also realized the problem. Judging from the scene where his reinforcements arrived and the enemy quickly retreated, if there was no deceit in it, then there was something wrong.
The enemy is now withdrawing all the way to the north without any cover-up. Even if Wancheng has not been lost yet, I am afraid that by the time they arrive, Wancheng will have already become the enemy's bag.
Gan Ning was completely defeated in this battle.
In just one day, Liu Beijun's near-dead end situation was reversed by the combined efforts of Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang.
It has to be said that these two people are indeed qualified to serve as Yi Xiaotian's opponents.
When Gan Ning felt under Wancheng and saw the Liu-character flag floating on the wall of Wancheng, his heart instantly went cold.
Not only that... They were supposed to be warmly received by Wancheng, but what they received were ruthless arrows——
Gan Ning evacuated in a hurry, but he did not go too far. He could only station himself on the bank of the Anhui River not far from Wancheng, and then quickly informed the incoming friendly forces of the bad news.
——
The first to arrive nearby were the coalition forces of Zhang Liao and Zhu Huan.
Immediately afterwards, within half a day, the team of Yi Xiaotian and others also arrived outside Wancheng.
It can be seen that even Yi Xiaotian was a little surprised when he saw such a scene.
On this day, the fourth day of the first lunar month in the 17th year of Jian'an, the troops of Sun and Cao's coalition surrounded Wancheng.
This began the confrontation between Liu Bei's army and Sun Cao's coalition forces.
The cold wind is still there, and the sky outside Wancheng is particularly gray.
It's going to rain - the cold rain in winter is the most destructive to people's will. It happens to be at this time, just when Liu Bei's army is turning the corner, the sudden cold rain makes the already depressed Sun Quan and others' faces once again become clouded.
Added a layer of shadow.
The raindrops fell on the tent, making a heavy sound. Although there were still people on duty in the military camp, the stiff expressions on the faces of the soldiers on duty could tell how torturous the weather was.
Gan Ning has been kneeling in the commander's tent for a whole day.
He had his head lowered, his upper body was naked, and his whole body was bowed on the ground, as if he was apologizing for his mistake in losing Wancheng.
But this was not the request of Sun Quan or Yi Xiaotian.
This is what he has to do.
"General Gan, you have been kneeling all night. Get up quickly... I can't blame you for this matter. It is our joint responsibility."
Wang Can tried to dissuade him, but Gan Ning remained motionless.
Wang Can was also very conflicted - he came to help Yi Xiaotian, but he didn't expect that their situation would be so awkward when they met.
And... Speaking of which, if he hadn't insisted on deploying troops to support Wankou, Wancheng would not have been left with such an empty defense and was captured so easily by the enemy.
"Mr. Wang, you don't have to excuse Mr. Gan anymore. If it weren't for your reinforcements, we would have been killed long ago. In the end, the reason why we were plotted by Zhuge Liang and the others was because I underestimated them too much... All the responsibility lies with me.
!”
Sun Quan sighed. Although he was sitting in command, facing Gan Ning, he could not say a single word of reproach.
"Gan Ning, get up. The punishment for losing Wancheng will wait until everything is over. Besides, you and Zhong Xuan worked together to wipe out the enemy's navy. If you really want to add up, the merits outweigh the faults——"
"Now that we have this time to admit our mistakes, why not let us brainstorm ways to capture Wancheng."
What Yi Xiaotian said seemed to have finally fallen into Gan Ning's ears.
Gan Ning slowly raised his head, biting his lip, his expression looking so unwilling.
But seeing Sun Quan nodding to him, Gan Ning finally couldn't hold himself any longer.
"Why…"
"Mr. Yi, what you are saying is... my lord... Gan Ning was confused... When everything was over, Gan Ning voluntarily removed all his official positions and started over from the bottom of the military camp..."
"I'll do as you say, but right now, we can't do without anyone, so don't think about anything guilt-ridden."
Seeing Gan Ning finally stand up, Sun Quan forced a smile on his face. He nodded in agreement, then looked around and said.
No one person is missing - there are many good generals in the house now.
In addition to Yi Xiaotian and Lu Xun and Wang Can, Zhu Huan, Pan Zhang, Zhou Tai, Quan Cong, Han Dang, Zhu Ran, Lu Meng...
There are also a group of veterans such as Lu Dai, Lu Fan and Yu Fan who joined later.
It can be said that the most powerful generals in Jiangdong are already gathered here.
Not to mention, Zhang Liao, a strong supporter from the north, and Zhao Yun, who has a special status.
Such a luxurious lineup does not mean that they are helpless in dealing with the situation.
Sun Quan suddenly realized that he had never fought such a wealthy battle in his life, but he knew that the worst mistake he could not make at this time was to be aggressive and complacent like he was before.
The richer the battle, the more cautious it must be. This is the lesson of blood and tears.
Of course, except for Gan Ning's incident, the reason why everyone gathered in the commander's tent today was not to hear his confession.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get straight to the point."
Yi Xiaotian's words set the tone for what happened just now and set the tone for what will happen next.
Yes, they came to brainstorm and analyze how to defeat Liu Bei.
"This is what you asked for, sir, about the food and grass situation in Wancheng..."
Hearing what Yi Xiaotian said, Lu Xun hurriedly handed over a list.
After Yi Xiaotian took the list, he sighed slightly - although he had not considered this situation, but now it seems...
"Everyone, I have no intention of pouring cold water on everyone, I just want everyone to understand the current situation——"
He spread out the list in front of everyone, and then said:
"Judging from the supplies in Wancheng, as long as Zhuge Liang and the others are willing, they can even hold on in Wancheng for half a year."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience gasped.
Similarly, Gan Ning's face looked even uglier now, but after the previous experience, he did not come out to take responsibility again.
