Cui Yan still agreed to surrender, and consciously began to help Gan Ning recruit local county soldiers and stabilize the situation in the city. Cheng Ping and his party, who were forcibly escorted by Gan Ning, saw that Cui Yan had surrendered, and they all simply became honest.
Gan Ning was relatively more at ease with Cui Yan. Although the Cui family in Qinghe had not yet reached its peak, it was still a well-known family. He was not afraid of Cui Yan making any small moves unless he wanted to drag the entire Cui family with him.
And Cui Yan cooperated, and Gan Ning didn't mind revealing more information. The more he knew, the more Cui Yan felt that Liu Bei was hiding too deeply.
No matter what Cui Yan thought, Gan Ning felt a little uncomfortable because of his free time, but also felt that his troops were too few!
There are only ten thousand troops in hand, and the central flower is blooming beautifully. But now, the entire Hejian County has been taken over at the fastest speed, and the surrounding counties are still at a loss. However, there are not enough troops in hand to further expand the results. Gan
Ning feels this itchy in her heart.
Seeing that greater achievements are in front of us, there is nothing we can do. It has only been four days from the date when we agreed to send troops. The other groups may have just entered the battle state. If we further expand the results, it will become a problem.
The biggest problem facing Gan Ning.
Six days after arriving, Zhou Tai had already captured Zhongshui City. At this point, all nine planned counties in Hejian were captured.
Looking at the more than 3,000 prisoners on the school grounds, Gan Ning stomped his feet and did it!
Quickly order Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to escort all the prisoners from other cities to Lecheng. He wants to expand!
Hejian County originally had 10,000 soldiers, but there were very few casualties during the surprise attack. Those who fled were left with about 8,000 soldiers. In fact, the number was already quite large.
Yuan Shao gathered an army of 200,000 in Ganling. Each county in the three states had to leave some county soldiers, and troops were stationed on the northern grassland border. After all, Yuan Shao had at least 400,000 troops.
Gan Ning's plan was simple. He planned to organize the prisoners under his command. In order to ensure that there would be no confusion in the command, and to ensure that the prisoners would not resist, Gan Ning directly sent out four thousand people to mix among the prisoners, and commanded them in a one-to-two manner.
.
In short, he can't just look at the credit in front of him and not seize it. For this reason, it's nothing to take some risks. He Gan Ning is the kind of timid person!
Gan Ning's strategy was also straightforward. He asked Zhou Tai to be responsible for the mixed formation, and at the same time asked the soldiers to explain Liu Beijun's treatment clearly. He directly went to Cui Yan for responsibility.
"Prefect Cui, these aristocratic families in Hejian County are not prepared to show their support?" Cui Yan was stunned at the first sentence they met.
Fortunately, Cui Yan reacted quickly and immediately understood that Gan Ning was planning to ask for benefits. However, it was not clear who got the benefits. There was a lot in this. Different people need different gifts, and some gifts should not be the same.
To give money, some can be given to land, some can be given to shops or channels, or gifts. This is an extremely profound knowledge.
"General Xingba is right. Of course our Hejian County family must support the cause of the resurgence of the Han Dynasty. General Gan and his party have worked hard and made great achievements, and we must express our gratitude." Cui Yan further probed.
Zhou Tai might not understand the meaning, but Gan Ning, a son of a noble family, didn't understand that Cui Yan was wrong and thought Gan Ning wanted money.
"Yes, we, the Han Dynasty, have a great cause of rejuvenation. Our soldiers fight in battles, defend our country, and suppress rebellions. Our hard work has achieved great results, so we should work in the army!"
Cui Yan frowned and realized that Gan Ning didn't mean to accept a gift, "Yes, yes, General Xingba, what is the past way of laboring in our army?"
"Money, meat!" Gan Ning answered simply.
Cui Yan's work efficiency was first-class, and those aristocratic families were also aware of current affairs. At this time, he wished he could spend more money to buy Gan Ning. That night, he collected 20 million yuan and a large amount of meat and sent it to the military camp.
Cui Yan looked at Gan Ning's curled lips and could only smile bitterly in his heart. This was twenty million dollars, but Gan Ning didn't expect it to be too little. I really didn't know what to say.
The system in the military is strict, so these things naturally need to be registered. The rest is to distribute rewards under the supervision of the instructor. The navy, sailors and prisoners in the army will all be given out continuously, plus plenty of meat.
, Liu Beijun didn’t feel much at all, but the morale of the prisoners suddenly exploded!
How many people haven’t smelled meat in years?
Not to mention the all-you-can-eat meal, not to mention the thousand dollars in hand.
Before, there were still people who didn't believe in Liu Beijun's treatment, but now, there are a million people who do.
Especially when I saw Liu Bei's soldiers' attitude towards the reward money. They simply looked down on the copper coins. They kept them all in the logistics army and waited to be exchanged for new money after returning. They just ate enough of the meat, unlike those prisoners.
, I wish I could push myself to death.
After taking real money and eating the meat, no one will remember what Yuan Shao is. From this moment on, it will be Liu Beijun. Well, even though they don't understand what a reserve force is.
With the army in hand reduced to 18,000, Gan Ning's heart immediately became restless again. He left 4,000 men to guard Lecheng, and Gan Ning once again divided his troops and marched westward.
Whether it is Yishui, Sushui or Zhangshui, it does not only flow through Hejian County.
The Yishui River flows all the way west to Boling, Zhongshan State, Jiwu, Anxi, Lunu and other cities. The Sushui River enters the Zhongshan State to the west and then flows through Anguo, Hanchang, Shangquyang, Nanxingtang and other cities, while the Zhangshui River can
Turning into the Tuo River and heading west, you can enter the northern part of Anping Kingdom and then Zhongshan Kingdom.
As long as the speed is fast enough, Gan Ning and his party can definitely take over the entire Zhongshan Kingdom and the northern part of Anping Kingdom again. Especially after taking the Zhongshan County Commandery Lunu, they can completely cut off the passage between Jizhou and Youzhou, cut off the north from the south, and ensure that Gongsun Zan
Can securely capture the entire Youzhou.
Wang Xuan knew that Gan Ning dared to think and do things. After all, he had done things like a hundred cavalry raids in history, so he made him the commander-in-chief of the Navy. But he didn't expect that he would be so bold once he was given space.
.
Afterwards, when calculating the contributions of each department in the entire Northern Expedition, the Gan-Ning branch division, with a mere 10,000 troops, took the greatest credit besides defeating the enemy's main force head-on. It captured two counties and twenty-four cities in one fell swoop, cutting off the north and south.
The passage can be said to be a battle that shocked the world.
…
Press Gan Ning, turn around and look at Guan Yu. After reaching the dispatch date, he took his two subordinates Wei Yan and Guan Ping and sent out again with an army of 20,000, with the target overlapping the county.
This is not the first time I have come to Chonghe County. Last time, Wei Yan deceived the city gate of Chonghe County. Later, Guan Yu used the Chonghe County city wall to practice his sword and smashed a section of the city wall that was 100 meters long.
Now this section of the city wall has been repaired, but the legendary invincibility of Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang is firmly engraved in the hearts of everyone in Chonghe County, and it has become more and more popular as time goes by. How can a sword break a hundred meters of city wall?
Thousands of heads fell to the ground with one strike... but everyone at the bottom believed in it.
