In contrast to Jia Xu's gnashing of teeth.

Xu Gong, who held huge military power for the first time in his life, was full of energy and felt like a tiger with the power to swallow the world.

Dominating Jiangdong is just around the corner!
Especially when Xu Gong, who was standing on the chariot, turned his head and looked at the army that seemed to have no end in sight, he felt that it would only take a moment to defeat Wujun.

The only thing that made Xu Gong quite dissatisfied was the snail-like marching speed.

Even though they were marching along Lishui, it was obviously not a smooth road and the entire route was rugged.

It took three days to walk a distance of less than a hundred miles before we actually entered the Wu County, which was still forty or fifty miles away from Yangxian.

This allowed Xu Gong, who was accustomed to the Central Plains, to truly experience the dense water network and the mountains and rivers that are unique to the Jiangdong area.

In other words, the logistics of the army can be easily maintained through Lishui. Even if it is slow, the morale of the anti-Wu allied forces is still relatively stable.

However, after entering Wujun, they soon felt the resistance and harassment from Wujun.

The Shanyue people frequently appeared around the anti-Wu allied forces, relying on the geographical advantages to set up various traps to hinder the march of the anti-Wu allied forces, which made Xu Gong and a group of aristocratic families almost annoyed.

Those Shanyue were best at running and hiding in the mountains and forests, and it was almost a pipe dream to catch up with them.

Especially the Shanyue people, who usually gathered in groups of three or five, destroyed roads, set traps, and harassed people at night...

As a result of these measures, the marching speed of the anti-Wu coalition forces was further reduced, and the morale of each unit obviously declined to varying degrees.

This made Xu Gong feel as if there was a fly buzzing around him, but no matter how hard he waved his hands he couldn't hit it.

That night, about thirty miles away from Yangxian, the allied forces against Wu set up a temporary camp.

Faced with the annoyed and angry expressions of Xu Gong, Zuo Rong and a group of aristocratic families in the tent, Zhou Xin, who was also at his wits' end, had to speak to calm the troops.

"Why do you need to worry about such a small plan? Previously, Wujun and Shanyue had a good relationship, and indeed they won over quite a number of Shanyue people to serve Wujun."

"But after observing for the past two days, I found that the number of Shanyue people harassing us was less than a thousand. This proves that Wujun is strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

Xu Gong still gave Zhou Xin some respect and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Zhou Xin analyzed confidently.

"If Wujun had sufficient troops and was ready to resist our army, why would they go to such great lengths to send the Shanyue to harass us?"

"The damage caused by the Shanyue people is limited. Their intention is just to delay our army's march. This proves that Wujun has run out of tricks and is struggling to survive."

This analysis was undoubtedly well-reasoned and many people nodded in agreement.

Just, right now.

In the northwest corner of the big tent, a chaotic noise suddenly sounded.

Everyone in the tent was already accustomed to this, and they didn't even raise their eyelids.

Since entering Wu County, the Shanyue people have been harassing the camp from different directions almost every night, making strange noises, launching rockets, and pretending to attack...

After two consecutive nights, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, even Xu Gong, Zhou Xin, Zuo Rong and others were physically and mentally exhausted.

At the beginning, Xu Gong and others were quite sensitive and on high alert.

However, it turns out that no matter how sensitive the area is, after rubbing it back and forth dozens of times, the final trend is numbness.

Right now, the reaction of everyone in the tent to the strange phenomena in the outside world... is numbness.

Moreover, Xu Gong, Zhou Xin, Zuo Rong and others also understood that the Shanyue people would take advantage of the night to set up various traps along the road ahead to hinder the marching speed of the anti-Wu allied forces during the day.

Xu Gong sighed, secretly cursing the Jiangdong people for being so many rats and using such petty tricks that were not worthy of being shown on the public. Then he spoke as the leader of the alliance.

"What County Magistrate Zhou said is absolutely right. No matter how much the Shanyue people harass us, we will not be able to stop them after our army arrives in Yangxian. For now, we can only trouble you to be patient and have the soldiers be careful and alert."

In response to this, many representatives of aristocratic families who were dissatisfied with Xu Gong secretly rolled their eyes.

That's a very good point, don't say it next time.

In the end, they still had no strategy to come up with and could only ask the soldiers in each unit to be careful and alert.

"Yes, Alliance Leader."

After everyone in the tent bowed and responded one by one, no one had the energy to discuss anything else, so they dispersed to rest.

After two consecutive nights of harassment, the anti-Wu coalition forces, which had long been exhausted, were undoubtedly gradually approaching the point of numbness tonight.

Standing on a small hilltop separated from the Anti-Wu Allied Forces, Gan Ning watched from afar the movements in the Anti-Wu Allied Forces camp.

Obviously, now facing the harassment from the Shanyue, the anti-Wu coalition has adopted the strategy of "you do your flirting and I do mine", just like a eunuch who can't stand up no matter what.

The response of the anti-Wu coalition forces to the constant harassment from the Shanyue was becoming increasingly limited.

Even when some Shanyue people were less than ten steps away from the camp and threw some torches into the camp, the anti-Wu allied forces just stomped out the burned areas one by one and were too lazy to even chase the Shanyue people.

"Tsk, tsk, what a deep sleep you have."

Gan Ning smacked his lips as he spoke, his tone revealing a desire to make something new.

Jiang Zhi, who followed Gan Ning, heard the words and knew clearly that Gan Ning was restless to the core, so he immediately spoke up to remind him.

"Xingba, Jia Changshi's order is only for us to continue harassing the enemy to tire them out. Please don't do anything unnecessary."

"Of course, I, Gan Xingba, understand the principle that military orders are as heavy as mountains the best!"

Gan Ning laughed and said, "Uncle, I have a plan that can tire out the enemy."

Jiang Zhi stared at Gan Ning deeply and said, "I object."

Gan Ning was stunned and said unhappily.

"I haven't even told you what the plan is, what are you opposing?"

Jiang Zhi's face darkened and he said, "Who do you call yourself Laozi?"

Gan Ning was startled, but he smiled without any embarrassment. "Hehe, uncle, why bother about such a trivial matter? How about listening to my brilliant plan? The enemy troops have been harassed by the Shanyue people for many days and are exhausted. Many of them must be fast asleep."

"Next, let the Shanyue people frequently harass the west side of the enemy camp, and stop harassing the east side. This way, the enemy troops on the east side will definitely be alert and surrender, and even many soldiers on guard will fall asleep due to exhaustion after so many days."

"When the time comes, I will lead the Jinfan bandits to charge in from the east, turning the whole place upside down, trampling the camps, and setting fire to the camps. How can this not be a good strategy to tire out the enemy?"

Jiang Zhi was so angry that his beard could not help but tremble repeatedly. He knew that Gan Ning was not going to say anything good.

Since when did trampling the enemy's camps be considered a clever strategy to tire out the enemy?

This... is almost the end!
Jiang Zhi, who had recovered his breath after a long while, quickly spoke up to stop them. "There are only a hundred people accompanying Xingba, and the enemy has nearly 140,000 troops. How can we take such a risk?"

Gan Ning couldn't help laughing out loud, saying, "Hahahaha, even if the enemy army has 140,000 people, they are nothing but a bunch of grass in my eyes. How can they stop me, the Hundred Tigers, from raiding the camp?"

Jiang Zhi said with a sullen face, "No, I object anyway!"

Gan Ning pondered for a moment, sighed, looked at Jiang Zhi and spoke.

"Well, since my uncle objects, I can only..."

When he said this, Gan Ning suddenly gave a look to the Jinfan thief behind Jiang Zhi.

The next moment, before Jiang Zhi could react, he was tied up by the Jinfan thieves with great skill.

After Jiang Zhi was tied up properly, Gan Ning said the second half of the sentence with a smile, "... Please forgive me, uncle."

"You, you dare to tie me up? How dare you! I order you to immediately..."

However, before Jiang Zhi could finish speaking, Gan Ning tore off a corner of his clothes and blocked Jiang Zhi's mouth, then bowed respectfully to Jiang Zhi.

"My lord and Mr. Zikun have been so kind to me that even if I sacrifice my life, I will never let Wu County be seized by thieves and ruin my lord's foundation and Mr. Zikun's plan."

"Since Chief Jia ordered me to tire out the enemy, then I must tire them out. How can I let the enemy sleep peacefully?"

After a pause, Gan Ning bowed to Jiang Zhi again and said.

"The previous raid was quite dangerous. My uncle is a scholar and not good at fighting. So don't follow me. Just stay here and wait."

"If I can return safely after robbing the camp, I will apologize to my uncle."

Jiang Zhi's eyes widened, and he made a meaningless sound. "Woo woo woo!!!"

However, Gan Ning was not a person who hesitated, and he understood that Jiang Zhi, who was always cautious, would definitely stop him.

So Gan Ning ignored Jiang Zhi and turned to look at the Jinfan bandits who had only a hundred riders behind him.

The road is rugged and difficult to travel, and the more people there are, the greater the risk of exposure.

Therefore, Gan Ning, who was the person in charge of the Shanyue to continuously harass the anti-Wu allied forces, had only a hundred cavalry brocade sail bandits as his personal guards.

Now, Gan Ning was ready to lead a hundred cavalrymen to raid the camp...

It doesn’t matter if the sensitive area is numb. Cut it hard and then rub it again, and it will surely become sensitive again.

Immediately, Gan Ning asked three or five Shanyue people to leave behind to protect Jiang Zhi, and he ordered the rest of the Shanyue people to frequently harass the west side of the camp.

About two and a half hours later, it was the hour of Chou when people are most sleepy.

The allied soldiers on the west side of the camp faced constant harassment from the Shanyue people. No matter how numb they were, they were annoyed by such high-intensity harassment.

On the contrary, the east side of the camp had been peaceful, which made the exhausted Allied soldiers fall into a deep sleep. Even many soldiers on patrol and guard could not help feeling sleepy, and many of them fell asleep.

Gan Ning, who was hundreds of steps away from the camp, looked at the extremely quiet camp not far away and felt the blood in his chest almost boiling.

A surprise attack on the camp of nearly 140,000 soldiers with only a hundred cavalrymen...

This huge difference in numbers did not make Gan Ning feel fearful or shrink back. Instead, he felt extremely excited.

"As a man, what's the harm in dying?!"

Gan Ning grinned and laughed silently.

A Jinfan thief behind Gan Ning leaned close to Gan Ning's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Boss, if we get any closer, the bells on our bodies might be heard. Do you want to take off all the bells first?"

Gan Ning subconsciously wanted the Jinfan thieves to take down the bells so as to facilitate a surprise attack on the camp.

However, Gan Ning changed his mind and waved his hand.

"There's no need for that. I just want to tell these rats that the Jinfan thief Gan Ning is here!"

After a pause, Gan Ning couldn't help laughing and said, "Hehe, if I can get out alive this time, I will definitely let everyone in the world know the name of Jinfan Thief!"

Undoubtedly, Gan Ning's arrogant and arrogant idea was nothing short of crazy.

A surprise attack is all about taking the enemy by surprise.

The bell that Jinfan Thief always wears on his body as a symbol will undoubtedly expose the location of Jinfan Thief in advance.

Immediately, Gan Ning raised the weapon in his hand and pointed it toward the sky. He did not even think of sneaking towards the camp, but instead galloped on his horse towards the east side of the camp which was several hundred steps away.

Upon seeing this, the other Jinfan bandits also laughed and followed Gan Ning in galloping on their horses.

The sudden sound of horse hooves and bells woke up many Allied soldiers who were still sleeping.

However, the quality of these allied soldiers was mixed, and they had experienced many harassments from the mountains and were in a sleepy state, so even when they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, they were still in a daze.

Until Gan Ning, who was leading the way, rushed to the front of the camp and pushed aside the deer antlers, which were only used to block the enemy and had more decorative function than practical function.

Suddenly I found that the road ahead was flat and there were no obstacles.

This made Gan Ning shout out in ecstasy and arrogance.

"The Jinfan thief Gan Xingba is here, why are you sleeping, you rats? Get up now!!" (End of this chapter)
