The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 243 Gan Ning's Actions

"Yang Sicheng, should we chase after them?" Taishi Ci looked at Ju Yi and Yan Liang and Wen Chou who were slowly retreating, turned his head and asked Yang Ji.

Taishi Ci had already set his sights on one of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, waiting for Yang Ji's order, and then he would attack one of them, or it could be Ju Yi.

Although these three people are guarded by personal soldiers, he is also beside him, and Yang Ji is right beside him, so why would he be afraid of them?
Yang Ji looked at Taishi Ci who was eager to make a move. It seemed that there was no general who was not interested in military merit.

"Okay, that's all for tonight. You should go and organize the soldiers to restore the camp. We can deal with the rest of the matters in two days." Yang Ji just stared at Ju Yi and others who were slowly retreating, and said casually to Taishi Ci.

"Ah?" Taishi Ci was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Yang Ji's order meant. Isn't this a great opportunity to pursue the enemy? Why would Yang Ji give it up?
Maybe it was because Taishi Ci's expression was too obvious, or maybe it was because Tian Kai and others were there, so Yang Ji gave them a brief explanation.

"Did you write a letter to that guy Gan Xingba before, asking him to come here via the Zhang River?" Yang Ji did not say when Taishi Ci sent the letter to Gan Ning.

Taishi Ci nodded blankly, then he realized that he seemed to have never told Yang Ji about this. How did Yang Ji know that he had sent a letter to Gan Ning and asked him to come and rescue people?

"Si Cheng, how do you know about this?" Taishi Ci asked Yang Ji curiously.

You have to know that before tonight, Yang Ji had been staying in Pingyuan County, and he had just arrived at Gongsun Camp on the other side of Jie Bridge. How did they know that he had sent a letter for help to Gan Ning?
"Don't worry about it." Yang Ji rejected Taishi Ci's curiosity. After all, he couldn't tell him that he saw it in a novel.

Since Yang Ji didn't want to say it, Taishi Ci didn't want to ask anymore. After all, anyone who had been in the Taishan system for a long time knew that Yang Ji was abnormal.

Perhaps Yang Ji knew that Taishi Ci sent a letter to Gan Ning through the art of divination.

Taishi Ci seemed to have heard somewhere that Yang Ji had some connection with the world consciousness of the world they were in...

Speaking of which, Taishi Ci had also heard that the person in charge, Chen Xi, seemed to be quite abnormal, and the amount of knowledge he possessed was simply not something that could be summarized and created by people of this era.

Thinking of this, Taishi Ci couldn't help but shudder. It's better not to think too much about this kind of mysterious stuff. What if he gets infected...

Oh - let's not think about it anymore. Taishi Ci doesn't think his brain can play tricks with those evil gods.

Of course, if the evil god could be convinced by physics, Taishi Ci would definitely want to taste what the evil god's taste was like.

"By the way, Xingba should have entered the Zhangshui River now. Do you want me to notify him and ask him to turn back?" Taishi Ci asked Yang Ji.

After tonight's night attack, the battle of Jie Bridge is probably over, so Gan Ning's action up the Zhang River will be meaningless.

After listening to Taishi Ci's suggestion, Yang Ji pondered for a while before saying, "Forget it. Just inform Gan Xingba of the battle situation here, and then let him act on his own."

"Ah?" Taishi Ci was stunned again. What was going on?

Yang Ji glanced at the stunned Taishi Ci and said, "Alright, if you don't understand, don't think about it. When the results come out, you will know what is going on."

Taishi Ci now doubted his own brain. Was his brain so bad? He couldn't even understand what Yang Ji said...

[The riddle man deserves to die,] Taishi Ci thought to himself as he completed the task assigned by Yang Ji.

Adventurers with poor brains will always encounter such a Riddler, and then they have to be patient and complete the tasks assigned by the Riddler, otherwise they will not even get the Riddler's task reward.

-

Gan Ning fell silent as he looked at the letter that Taishi Ci had just sent him. He was a little confused at this moment. How did things turn out like this?

Wasn't this supposed to be a moment for their navy to show their might? Why did it turn out like this?

And what does it mean by 'let him act on his own'? Does it mean to let him go back to where he came from?

Then wouldn’t his trip be in vain?
Okay, okay, before we came, we could only fight pirates and got nothing. Now that we are here, we still get nothing.

Isn't this a waste of time?!

Gan Ning's face changed suddenly. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He threw the letter on the deck of the ship. It was about to be thrown into the river because of Gan Ning's great force.

Just as the letter paper was about to jump into the river, a flash of inspiration emerged from Gan Ning's mind.

"Bang!" Gan Ning bumped into the guardrail and grabbed the letter that had already passed over the guardrail back into his hand.

Poor letter paper, which had just been thrown around, and had finally escaped from the devil's clutches, now it was being strangled by the back of the fate's neck again.

Gan Ning narrowed his eyes and scanned the words on the letter, trying to find some unique information in it.

"Yes, that's right, it's you!" Gan Ning stared at the summary words titled [Free Action] that his fingertips touched with shining eyes.

Gan Ning looked around a few times, but he didn't see Gan Lan, who usually followed him. He shouted decisively: "Gan Lan, where is he? Come here quickly!"

After Gan Ning shouted a few times, Gan Lan did not appear beside Gan Ning. This was a bit strange.

You know, Gan Lan is the one from the same family that Gan Ning's father specially selected for Gan Ning when Gan Ning was away.

After discovering that Gan Lan was not on the boat, Gan Ning immediately became anxious. Gan Lan was his real brother. If something went wrong here, Gan Ning would not have the face to go back and face Gan Lan's family.

Just when Gan Ning was about to send out more than 300 of his men to look for someone, Cai Lan jumped out from the reeds on the shore.

"Boss, look who we caught?" Gan Lan shouted to Gan Ning excitedly.

After seeing Gan Lan, Gan Ning breathed a sigh of relief and then turned his attention to the people that Gan Lan had captured.

"Who is this? The clothes he is wearing don't look like those of a Youzhou soldier, right?" Gan Ning asked Gan Lan, touching his chin.

"Boss, these are Yuan Shao's army's grain transporters!" Gan Lan said to Gan Ning excitedly.

Gan Lan had read the Thirty-Six Strategies that Chen Xi gave to Gan Ning and learned something from them.

Gan Ning would not refuse Gan Lan's advice, and would even take the initiative to teach Gan Lan. Well, of course, it was limited to the people Gan Ning brought from home. As for the other pirates who were converted into marines, forget it, unless they had some special abilities that could attract Gan Ning's attention.

Gan Ning's eyes widened, and then he said happily: "Yuan Shao's army's grain transport soldiers? Isn't this just perfect!"

"As expected of Yang Sicheng, he can even calculate this. No wonder he gave me such an order!" Gan Ning touched the letter in his arms.

"Brothers, let's burn the food supplies!" Gan Ning believed in his instincts without thinking and led the marines who were originally pirates to burn the food supplies of Yuan Shao's army.

"Oh!" The daring pirates responded to Gan Ning loudly, and followed Gan Ning to ambush in the grass on the road that Yuan Shao's army's grain transport team had to pass.

Fortunately, the grass was growing extremely lush at this time. Although the weeds were almost dry at this season, it was still possible to hide people.

Without the grain transport team noticing, Gan Ning and his pirates suddenly attacked and knocked down all the soldiers in the grain transport team.

Gan Ning pulled off a piece of armor that was obviously more advanced and put it on himself, while calling out to his brothers, "Quick, change into Yuan Shao's army uniforms."

Gan Ning, along with more than 300 of his brothers, escorted Yuan Shao's grain and fodder along the route given by the grain transport team all the way to the Handan granary.

The grain supervisor at the Handan granary looked at Gan Ning who was coming slowly and couldn't help but ask him, "Did anything go wrong on the way?"

"Alas," Gan Ning sighed, "I met a few Youzhou soldiers on the way and almost got robbed."

Gan Ning's sighing feeling was really not an act, but what Gan Ning was sighing about was not the Youzhou soldiers he had just recruited, but the fact that he had not shown his prowess on the battlefield.

After all, as the chief of the navy, he has not yet led the navy to achieve achievements that would make those guys who like to complain shut up, and he is a little panicked.

If it weren't for Chen Xi's strong support behind the scenes, Gan Ning, who had not made any moves for such a long time, would have been taken down long ago. Those powers were considered unique even among the generals like Guan, Zhang, and Zhao Hua.

The grain supervisor frowned and said, "I didn't expect those Youzhou soldiers to get here. What are those guys on the front line doing? If their grain supply is cut off, what will they eat?"

For a moment, Gan Ning wondered if the grain inspector in front of him had really seen the Youzhou soldiers sneaking over from the Jie Bridge in Yuan Shao's rear area.

Gan Ning glanced at the grain supervisor and said casually, "Forget it, never mind. These things have nothing to do with us. After the grain is delivered to the warehouse, I will report this matter to my superiors and let them worry about it."

The grain supervisor thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case. He said to Gan Ning, "That's right. It's not our turn to worry about these things anyway."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You wait here for a while. I'll have someone test the grain, and then you can bring it in."

"Okay, okay, you should find a cook right away. We haven't eaten for almost a day. When the food is ready, serve a few bowls to the brothers!"

Gan Ning spoke anxiously to the grain inspector, saying that after all, they really hadn't eaten for a day and were now hungry.

The grain inspector looked at Gan Ning and others who were making a lot of noise, but he was not angry. He just shook his head and said nothing more.

If it were before, Gan Ning would have been severely criticized for this kind of behavior, but now the battle on the front line has been won, so he and others can relax.

Although the night attack failed that night, it removed the shadow of the White Horse Volunteers from their heads. It was a great victory for Yuan Shao's army and certainly relaxed their tense minds.

After a while, the cook prepared lunch using the food and fodder that Gan Ning had escorted over.

Gan Ning didn't wait for the people from the Handan granary to come and test the grain. He went straight to the cook, holding the bowl and chopsticks he had taken from the cook.

The cook looked speechlessly at the bandit-like guys surrounding him, and couldn't help but look at the grain inspector on the other side.

The grain inspector twitched his lips, but couldn't say anything, and finally could only nod to the cook.

After the grain inspector nodded, before the cook could say anything, Gan Ning snatched the wooden spoon from the cook's hand and pushed the cook aside.

The cook pointed at Gan Ning and others, not knowing what to say. In the end, he could only spit at Gan Ning and left the place angrily.

Three hours later, Gan Ning and his fuss-filled companions, as well as the soldiers sent from the Handan granary to test the grain, were carried into the Handan granary.

In the evening, Gan Ning asked Gan Lan about the situation of the granary in Handan. After all, he had eaten too much in the morning, so he could only let the dedicated Gan Lan go out to inquire about the news.

"Boss, fortunately, the soldiers stationed in this granary come from various backgrounds, otherwise if anyone recognizes this team of grain transport soldiers we are pretending to be, we will be captured." Gan Lan said with lingering fear.

Gan Ning felt relieved after listening to Gan Lan's words. Although he didn't think it was a big deal when he made the decision, he was a little nervous after he really infiltrated the enemy.

Fortunately, his intuition came in handy again.

Gan Ning pretended not to care and asked Gan Lan directly: "Don't talk nonsense like that. Where is the tung oil I'm looking for?"

Gan Lan didn’t care about Gan Ning’s performance at all. He had followed Gan Ning for so long. Didn’t he, Gan Lan, know what kind of personality Gan Ning had?
"This Handan granary is called a granary, but it is actually a logistics base. The logistics supplies for Yuan Shao's army at the front basically come from this base."

However, before Gan Lan finished speaking, Gan Ning slapped him on the head and said, "What I'm looking for is tung oil, not these things!"

"Um, Boss," Gan Lan touched his head and continued, "Our goal is to make Yuan Shao's army on the front line retreat as soon as possible, rather than continue to stalemate at Jie Bridge.

Now, this is the chance for Yuan Shao's army to retreat!" Gan Lan winked at Gan Ning.

Seeing such obvious hints from Gan Lan, how could Gan Ning not understand what Gan Lan was saying.

Gan Ning rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go get to know the brothers here. We all eat in the same trench, so how can we not know each other?"

After saying that, Gan Ning took out a handful of five-zhu coins and stuffed them into the pockets of Gan Lan.

Gan Lan blinked and instantly understood what Gan Ning wanted to do.
