Chapter 984: You cant laugh, you have to hold it in!
"The latest news is that Qu County and Yufu County have been captured!" Yan Yan looked around the crowd and said word by word.
"What?!"
"How can this be!"
"Where did the troops come from!"
Everyone stood up in shock. At this moment, they no longer cared about etiquette. They all asked Yan Yan. The hall was as noisy as a vegetable market. Even Zhang Ren froze on the spot.
He even forgot to drink the tea he had brought to his mouth.
After a while, Huang Quan was the first to calm down, turned around to calm everyone, and then looked at Yan Yan and asked: "Who leads the troops? How many troops are there? Where do they come from?"
"According to the news currently circulating, the troops are led by General Zhengdong, Marquis Wu Ding, and Guan Yu Guan Yunchang. The number of troops is about 10,000. As for the direction of their coming, they can only come through Daba Mountain. Otherwise, it cannot be explained that they were still in Xuanhan before.
How could General Guan descend from heaven to Qu County?" Yan Yan said with a heavy expression. After saying this, everyone took a breath.

Sitting on their seats, the Yizhou locals all had faces as pale as earth and weak bodies. At this moment, everyone finally understood why Yan Yan didn't let Wang Lei curse out loud, and why he called Gan Ning "General Gan" instead of calling him directly.
Guan Yu's name brings with it a series of honorific titles.
Quxian, if you restore it, it will be equivalent to completely blocking the passage between Jingzhou and Yizhou. There are male passes all the way to guard against enemies in the direction of Jingzhou. If they hadn't deliberately let Cao's army in, how could Cao's army have been so successful?
Now being blocked by Guan Yu, Cao's army, even with a hundred thousand troops, can't even think of attacking again.
What's more, there are still 100,000 Cao troops in Jingzhou now!
With the passage blocked like this, not to mention that Yizhou fell completely under Liu Bei's control, even Cao Jun became a turtle in the urn. Don't look at the back and forth with Wang Xuan now. When the news comes,
Pass it over...
The consequences could be disastrous!
In this way, it can also be explained clearly why Gan Ning was so frantic in burning the food and grass of a wealthy family during this period. This was obviously to distract everyone's attention so that everyone would not care about other issues and give Guan Yu two surprise attacks.
The counties provided cover to buy time. Now Guan Yu completely took over the positions of the two counties and completely blocked Cao's army's retreat.
This strategy is indeed not only vicious but also interlocking. It actually hits them seven inches above the ground, making it difficult for people to guard against it.
Now everything is settled.
Of course, there is no time for them to worry about Cao Jun. The problem before everyone now is how to protect themselves.
"This, this, this pass, how could Wu Dinghou cross Daba Mountain? This makes no sense." Wang Lei felt a little lost. He had always been the vanguard to lead Cao's army into Shu, and now Cao's army was blocked from retreat.
Jue couldn't protect himself, and what he had done before might have dug a grave for the whole family, and he would just push them all down and bury them when Wang Xuan settled the accounts.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. The question is, what should we do?" Huang Quan was so irritated that he kept waving his hands in the air as if he was driving something away.
"Gong Heng, do you have any suggestions?" Gao Pei asked eagerly, and everyone looked at Huang Quan at the same time.
"I..." Huang Quan opened his mouth, but when it came to the end, he also looked confused. When everyone saw this, their expressions darkened.
At this moment, Yan Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly said, "Zhang Ren, what do you say?"
Hearing Yan Yan mention Zhang Ren, everyone's eyes lit up instantly and they all looked at Zhang Ren again.
Zhang Ren smiled bitterly and stood up, bowed to everyone and said, "As you all know, I and the two generals Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun under the command of the King of Han are brothers, but that's all. After we left the army and came down the mountain, we almost never left."
We have been in contact for fourteen or five years, and as for our understanding of the King of Han, we don’t know anything about him at all. It’s unclear whether we can protect ourselves. I can’t give you any advice at this moment.”
It was too late for Zhang Ren to hide from this kind of thing, and he would not talk nonsense at all. Everyone could only sigh heavily when seeing Zhang Ren say this, but their expressions became even more anxious.
But after Zhang Ren finished speaking, Yan Yan still looked at him intently, and Zhang Ren's face became even more bitter. This Yan Yan was very senior, and almost all the generals in Shu came from his sect. It was after he returned from studying that he had
The opportunity to become an official also gave me a lot of affection for Yan Yan. Now that Yan Yan is staring at me, I really can't let go of this face.
Therefore, it is said that those who have broad connections and are kind to others will never suffer at critical moments.
"But..." Zhang Ren had no choice but to continue. As soon as these two words came out, everyone's attention was immediately attracted, and everyone's eyes became bright again.
"However, there is someone in Ba County who knows the situation now. Why don't you call this person for questioning? It must be many times better than us making blind guesses." Zhang Ren completely reminded everyone with one sentence.
"You mean, Gan Ning, General Gan, this...General Gan can be trusted without waiting?" Yan Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhang Ren.
"I read……"
"Report!"
Before Zhang Ren could finish speaking, an urgent voice from outside the door interrupted Zhang Ren's words, which made everyone feel angry and wanted to strangle the intruder outside the door.
However, Yan Yan recognized that this was the voice of his trusted personal guard, and immediately knew that he would not be disturbed at this time unless there was something absolutely important, so he shouted, "Come in."
"General, the granary in the city was raided by thieves and was already on fire!" The guard immediately knelt down on one knee to report as soon as he entered the door.
"..."
"..."
Gan Ning!
Everyone immediately thought of who did it, and couldn't help but look at each other. Smiles appeared on their faces and were suppressed by everyone. After all, their own granary was burned. They couldn't laugh, they couldn't laugh, they had to hold it in, and they absolutely couldn't laugh!
But... I'm so happy Senna, I really want to dance!
He glanced at the others and found that everyone looked similar to himself. For a moment, everyone felt extremely complicated, relaxed, happy, cheerful, happy, proud...
The guards, who had their heads lowered, gradually felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. As expected, the senior officials should be furious and reprimand Gan Ning for his behavior. Then the army was dispatched, the whole city was under martial law, and Gan Ning and his gang were hunted down.
But now... why is there strangely no sound in the hall.
The guard quietly raised his head and looked around, and was so surprised that he almost dislocated his jaw. A group of big guys were looking back and forth with uncontrollable smiles on their faces. The scene was very strange for a time.
"Ahem." Yan Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, coughed, "Okay, I understand, let's get down."
The personal guard didn't know why, but even after his general spoke, he could only bow his head and retreat with full doubts.
"Everyone, everyone, I can be sure now that Marquis Zhenhai is in the city. Now time is tight. We must contact someone before Marquis Zhenhai leaves the city. Otherwise, we will be in trouble if we want to find someone." Yan Yan said with a smile.
"What the old general said is that the question is, who can win people's trust more by looking for the Marquis of Zhenhai." Huang Quan seemed to be saying this to Yan Yan, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Ren.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Ren could only stand up with a wry smile and said: "I'll leave this matter to you. I believe that the Marquis of Zhenhai will not suspect that I will do anything excessive."
"Thank you!" Everyone clasped their fists and saluted.
