Han Xiang

Chapter 407

After the banquet, the generals will return to the camp.

Huang Zu's deputy, Su Fei, Jiang Xia Governor, saw that Gan Ning was not in high spirits when he was leaving the field, so he followed him back to the camp.

A native of Linjiang, Ba County, Yizhou, Ganning, his ancestor was Gan Mao, a famous prime minister of the Qin Dynasty.

The Ganmao lineage originated from Xiacai people in Jiujiang County, Yangzhou. The Gan family continued to migrate westward for hundreds of years during the Qin and Han Dynasties, first to Nanyang County, Jingzhou, and then to Ba County, Yizhou, and developed into one of the five local prominent families.

When Gan Ning was young, he took pleasure in the affairs of knight-errants, who killed people and heard about it in the county.

Thanks to the strong enough family strength, Gan Ning did not flee to his hometown after killing people like Guan Yu and Xu Shu Qingxia. On the contrary, the officials in the city even welcomed him warmly.

It is such a powerful and unworthy descendant, his official career is destined to be very different from that of ordinary humble children, because the starting point of his official career is planning.

The so-called "Jiangsu", that is, the "Shangji Messenger" of the state and county, is responsible for reporting the performance indicators such as money and grain, taxes, and household registration in the jurisdiction to the superior department. Although this position is an errand job, it is a high-quality position that can frequently contact the powerful. .

At the same time, Zheng Xuan, Xu Jing, Jiang Ji, Jiang Wei, etc., who became officials as planners, were basically local powerful figures.

Due to the high starting point for becoming an official, Gan Ning filled the second post of Shujun Cheng (equivalent to the current deputy mayor of the provincial capital).

Originally, the future was bright, but Gan Ning was born restless when he was young, so he was destined not to follow the path paved by his parents.

In the first year of Xingping, Liu Yan died of illness, and Liu Zhang became the lord of Yizhou. Gan Ning, Shen Mi, and Lou launched a rebellion, and they were defeated and fled to Jingzhou to attach themselves to Liu Biao.

Gan Ning's aristocratic status may work in Yizhou but not in Jingzhou, so he is destined not to be reused.

After staying in Jingzhou for a few years, he was depressed and frustrated. Until Sun Quan succeeded to the throne in Jiangdong two years ago, Gan Ning saw the opportunity and prepared to join him. However, he was stopped by Huang Zu in Jiangxia and has been stranded ever since.

Gan Ning has eight or nine hundred elite trilogy, Huang Zu can't let him join the enemy Jiangdong, and he is not willing to reuse this wealthy chivalrous man who "respects people lightly, but raises healthy children well".

Reuse of a thorn is a risk. Liu Biao doesn't need it because of political considerations, and Huang Zu doesn't need it because he is afraid that the reuse will be out of control.

Gan Ning returned to the camp and lay down on the camp bed with all his clothes on, staring at the roof with black eyes and lost in thought, thinking about Zhao Yun who was drinking with him just now.

Gan Ning felt the pressure for the first time in the ten years of being a ranger, the oppression of pure force.

Such a person serves as a bodyguard for others?
"Xingba, are you going to sleep now?"

"Governor Su?"

Hearing Su Fei's voice, Gan Ning stretched his waist and sat up straight away.

Su Fei walked to the side of the couch and sat down, looked at Gan Ning seriously and said: "I have already told the prefect that I will bring you with me on this expedition, seize the opportunity to perform well, and the achievements in the future will not be inferior to mine. "

"really?"

Gan Ning was overjoyed to hear that, he was born in a wealthy and powerful family, he didn't care about his official career, he just wanted to be a rich and powerful knight-errant who was "Zang Jin Wei Zhou, responsible for carrying the bell" and enjoy the joy of fighting.

Su Fei nodded solemnly: "I will board the ship at Chenshi tomorrow morning, remember to obey the command and not act independently, the prefect is very strict in governing the army."

"Don't worry, I know what I know." Gan Ning stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for the recommendation from the governor. If I do something wrong, please remind me."

Su Fei shook his head lightly: "I'm afraid I can't mention it. I want to stay in Jiangxia with the young master, so you can do it yourself."

"OK then"

Gan Ning nodded slightly, seeing that Su Fei was about to leave after giving instructions, he stopped and asked: "Su Dudu, are you familiar with the guard beside Liu Ziyang?"

"Xingba asked Zhao Zilong? What happened to him?" Su Fei looked curious.

Gan Ning frowned and replied: "I feel that this person is not simple, and he can put pressure on me invisibly."

"Haha." Su Fei said with a smile: "You are right if you are under pressure. Isn't Zhao Zilong not simple? The letter from the Fujun praised him as an enemy. There is a record of beheading generals in battles, and most of them are united to control the enemy."

Gan Ning swallowed: "So strong? To be Liu Ziyang's bodyguard?"

Su Fei shook his head lightly: "Liu Ziyang is Liu Xuande's think tank, and he attaches great importance to this think tank. Liu Xuande has even stronger Guan Zhang, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, you should know, right? The one who killed Yan Liang among the ten thousand armies."

"I know"

Gan Ning rubbed his forehead, thinking that I really want to be like Guan Yu, and then asked a puzzled question: "What is this Liu Xuande and what is he capable of? So many fierce generals are so devoted to him?"

"Mr. Xuande is famous for his benevolence and righteousness, but I haven't had a chance to meet him yet." After finishing speaking, Su Fei joked with Gan Ning, "If Xingba is still in Xiangyang at this time, we can see his demeanor."

"Ha ha."

Gan Ning smiled noncommittally, he originally planned to vote for Sun Quan, but this year Sun Quan was defeated in Huainan, if he loses again in Yuzhang, wouldn't it be a joke for him to vote?So this battle also has the meaning of examining the future club.

As for Liu Bei, who was derived from Zhao Yun, Gan Ning was rather vague about this Uncle Liu, but no matter how attractive the princes are, they cannot have a bright future.

After sending Su Fei away to rest on the bed, Gan Ning had a good dream that night.

Probably because he was about to be able to fight in battle, Gan Ning dreamed back to his youthful days as a knight-errant who was "Zang Jin Wei Zhou, and Negative Man with Bell".

At the next day, Huang Zu went to the school grounds to count the troops.

The more than [-] soldiers and horses that Jiangxia set off for the expedition were divided into five armies: front, left, middle, and rear.

Gan Ning, who was 'connected', was assigned to be a backup rear army. The rear army only had a total of more than [-] people, including Liu Ye and his more than [-] guards.

Huang Zu's formation was very clear, he didn't intend to let the rear army participate in the battle at all, he just took them to observe and win.

Gan Ning comforted himself to fight harder, so that he would have a chance to come on as a substitute, and he would show Huang Zu the strength of the 'Jin Fan Bandit'.

However, the Jingzhou side was fully prepared. A few days before the troops left Jiangxia, Huang Zu informed Liu Pan to attack by land, and attracted Sun Ben's attention to Jianchang and other mountainous areas in the northwest of Yuzhang. Invaded and attacked major cities such as Haihun and Nanchang.

The west and north of Yuzhang County, Jianchang, Aixian, Haihun, Liling and other counties were originally Taishici's defense areas.

Tai Shici was transferred to Huainan as the captain, but Sun Quan did not send a new person to replace him, so Sun Ben became the "complete" Yuzhang prefect, but the funny mood didn't last long, Jianchang and Ai County in the northwest were in emergency at the same time.

In mid-October, less than three months after Taishi Cicai was transferred away, Liu Biao's son Liu Pan led an army to invade. The number of troops far exceeded the previous harassment, as if he was slapping Sun Ben in the face.

Liu Pan seems to be telling Sun Ben with his actions, I will give Tai Shici face but not you, because you are more bullying than the other party looks.

Sun Ben was once the leader of the second generation of the Sun family. He knew that his martial arts skills were not as good as Tai Shici's, but he felt that his use of troops was too much, so he ordered [-] troops to save Jianchang first and then Ai County.
