The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 391
Winter went to spring, and the earth warmed up. In March of the 14th year of Jian'an, Cao Wei passed the "severe winter", and Jiangdong recovered a little after the Chibi War. The troops stationed in Jiangxia gained a firm foothold under the leadership of Zhou Yu and stole Hefei. Liu Bei also raised his ambitions again in the new year, and the Taiping Army has already begun preparations for the next step of attacking the city and land after the cold winter.

The wind was sunny and the sky was cloudless, and the county that nearly killed Guo Jia was full of murderous spirit inside and out.

The gate of Xiaoxiao County was closed tightly, and [-] soldiers were stationed in the city, and the person who led the army here was Meng Da.

Above the city tower, Meng Da looked to the north, and as far as he could see, a long human-shaped team suddenly appeared in the distance.

pedal
When the sound of heavy footsteps came, Meng Da didn't turn his head back, only to hear Dian Man who ran behind him say in a slightly dejected voice: "General, General Wu will lead an army of [-] to escort food and supplies and will enter the city within an hour."

Meng Da sighed silently, it was a pity to be like Dianman, looking thoughtfully at the direction of Fancheng in the north, Meng Da clenched his fist secretly.

Cao Zixiao is so cautious!
"Open the city gate and come out of the city to welcome me."

Meng Da led [-] soldiers and horses to Bian County from Jiangling, either to welcome the food and supplies escorted by Wu Yi, or to prepare for a big battle. Between the two, the final situation that came was the former.

At Dianman, Xu Yi and Meng Da rode out of the city to meet Wu Yi.

Wu Yi, who came from the new city, was always on guard and cautiously led his army to arrive at Bian County safely, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

Looking at Meng Da and the others who greeted him at the gate of the city, Wu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

The grain, grass and luggage were transported from Hanzhong to Yonghe Xincheng. To safely transport them to Jiangling, they had to face the sneak attack of Cao Ren in Fancheng.

Before setting off, Fazheng asked Wu Yi to discuss with Gan Ning of Jiangling that the transportation of supplies this time could be regarded as an act of luring the enemy. Wu Yi only brought [-] soldiers and horses. If Cao Ren of Fancheng attacked Wu Yi on the road, intending to loot Or destroy the food and supplies, then the soldiers and horses sent by Gan Ning are arranged by the orioles.

It's a pity that Cao Ren was conservative, and he remained indifferent to Wu Yi's [-] troops, allowing Wu Yi to arrive at Bian County safely and peacefully. After reuniting with Meng Da, Cao Ren wanted to fight, and a head-on conflict would break out , it cannot be a surprise attack.

Outside the county seat, Meng Da and Wu Yi met each other, exchanged pleasantries, and then went to the city to rest.

This time, the plan to use Wu Yi as bait to lure Cao Ren out of Fancheng failed, which is not unexpected. Cao Ren in Fancheng now has only [-] troops. Cao Wei's stepping up recruitment in Hebei will always have a process of reorganization and training. Cao Ren is now What we have to do is to hold on to Fancheng, the southern throat of Cao Wei's forces, and we can't afford to take any risks.

Resting in Bian County for two days, Wu Yi continued to lead the army to escort food, grass and luggage to Jiangling.

Gan Ning in Jiangling heard the news of his return from the front, he was looking at the map of Xiangfan area in the commander's tent, and he thought deeply.

In recent years, since the conflict with Wu Yi broke out during the expedition to the Northwest, he and Wu Yi seemed to have cut off contact. Although the superior-subordinate relationship was higher than that of Gan Ning, Wu Yi did not even show respect to his superiors at all. This made Gan Ning very angry.

Anyway, he was the one who promoted Wu Yi back then.

At any rate, as the military governor of the Taiping Army with great achievements, Wu Yi shouldn't even give Gan Ning any face.

Isn't that just marrying a younger sister to the lord?
What is there to be proud of?
Gan Ning walked out of the handsome tent with his hands behind his back, and ordered people to hold a banquet in the government office of Jiangling, as a reward for Wu Yi's hard work all the way.

In order to speed up the delivery of supplies during the march, Meng Da asked Dianman to lead the new army back to Jiangling with Wu Yi, so that the soldiers and horses would alternately undertake the task of escorting, which would greatly improve the efficiency.

Arriving outside Jiangling City, Wu Yi, who was riding a horse, saw the Taiping Army waiting in awe at the head of Jiangling City and the city gate wide open, and his face darkened involuntarily.

Outside the city, there was no one who came to meet him!
It's not that Wu Yi deserves to be welcomed by Gan Ning, at least someone should come to receive him, right?
After leading the army into the city, Dianman led the army to take away the food, grass and luggage. Only now did Wu Yi find out that someone had come to inform him that Gan Ning was hosting a banquet in the government office to clean up Wu Yi's dust.

With a look of foreboding on his face, Wu Yi walked into the mansion with his head held high and his chest held high. Before he stepped into the main hall, he heard the sound of bold chatting and laughing from inside.

Wu Yi's face became even more gloomy.

Is this Gan Ning's euphemistically named reception banquet?

Has it started before the main character arrives?
Sure enough, when Wu Yi stepped over the threshold, he saw Gan Ning sitting on the main seat, drinking from a bowl of wine. In the hall, Pang Tong, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and many young generals sent out were present, including Gan Gui, Zhang Hu, Zhang Fang and so on.

The banquet was halfway through, and the generals were all drunk and talking about the world. How could there be any sincerity in hosting a special banquet for Wu Yi?

"Ziyuan is here, come and come, Ziyuan has worked hard and made great achievements, and escorting food, grass and luggage is even more thrilling. Drink a glass of wine first to calm the shock."

Gan Ning pointed at the seats, and he was at the bottom, even behind Zhang Hu.

In addition to words and actions, everything is crowding out Wu Yi.

Wu Yi cupped his fists, turned his eyes and said coldly: "It is the duty of the general to escort the food and grass. I dare not take credit for it. It is the honor of the general if the governor is willing to give you a glass of wine."

After finishing speaking, Wu Yi sat at the last table, picked up the wine bowl full of wine and drank it down in one gulp, then threw the wine bowl heavily on the table.

砰

This sound was heard clearly by everyone in the hall, and in an instant, the surroundings filled with laughter fell silent.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin obviously stood on Gan Ning's side. The conflict between Wu Yi and Gan Ning has been clear to them all these years, but in the army, generals must obey the masses, and they are very disgusted with subordinates who refuse to obey. .

Leading troops to fight, if there are subordinates who fight against their superiors, how can this army be led?
So Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin lowered their faces and stared at Wu Yi with displeasure, watching how Gan Ning would deal with the situation.

Disobedient subordinates, subordinates who always sing the opposite tune and are ignorant of current affairs, must be taught and beat, otherwise everyone will follow the example and will not have the power of the general. Isn't it just a name?

Gan Gui, Zhang Hu and other young generals hadn't seen much of a big scene, and the internal conflicts among their own people in the army kept them silent.

In the hall, only Pang Tong looked indifferent, and there was even a vague smile on his ugly face.

"Ziyuan, you don't seem to appreciate it when I host a banquet for you. When did I, Gan Xingba, offend you? You might as well say it today. The man acts aboveboard. If you are dissatisfied with me, don't keep it in your heart."

Gan Ning's face was flushed, and he was obviously a little drunk, but now he suddenly showed a slight look of anger, bursting out his dissatisfaction with Wu Yi in his heart.

Wu Yi has an unspeakable secret. He and Gan Ning have been arguing with each other to this day. It really stems from Guo Jia's secret order to him back then, but what Gan Ning did today really angered Wu Yi.

Wu Yi doesn't care about reception banquets!
The point is that the generals of the Taiping Army have not yet reached the point where they are complacent and arrogant.

There is Cao Ren in Xiangfan in the north, and Zhou Yu in Jiangxia in the east. If the Taiping army is not careful, it will be lost forever.

"All of you here are generals who hold important positions in the army. I would like to ask you, can we celebrate without restraint now? If Jiangling has made a mistake, how should we explain it to the master?"

Wu Yi's words were sonorous, his tone was heavy, his chest heaved and heaved, obviously the anger lingering in his heart could not be displeased.

The hall was completely silent again, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin had already connected with a somewhat angry expression.

What Wu Yi said was right, the Taiping Army shouldn't get carried away drinking and having fun.

But they don't do this every day, except that Gan Ning held a banquet when celebrating with the Jiangling people at the beginning of the new year, this is the first time in more than two months.

Why did it come to Wu Yi's mouth, and it sounds like they have all become wine bags and rice bags?

slam
Gan Ning got up with a blushing face, and brought down the low table, the wine and food spilled all over the floor, making a mess.

Gan Ning's footsteps were sloppy, and Gan Ning almost fell down. His son Gan Gui, who was at the side, wanted to help him, but Gan Ning slapped him hard.

With drunken eyes, Gan Ning came to Wu Yi swayingly, expressionless, looking down at Wu Yi, full of complexity.

"Ziyuan, a certain lord followed him when he was young, and you don't understand what he has experienced. Where were you when the lord almost died in Luoyang? When the lord captured Chengdu for the princess, you were still a prisoner. When the lord captured Guanzhong, When a certain led the army to attack in the starry night, you were only in the rear. In the northwest attack on Jingzhou, the certain led the army to go forward. What qualifications do you have to teach me?"

Gan Ning roared like a beast in front of Wu Yi.

No one in the Taiping Army can compare with Gan Ning in terms of illustrious military exploits.

If you want to say that Gan Ning has been criticized on the battlefield in this life, it is only when Yuan Shao attacked that year, Gan Ning chased Cao Cao but was killed halfway by the tiger and leopard rider, which led to his failure.

In terms of military exploits, anyone in the Taiping Army can hold his own. Wu Yi was speechless and silent.

At first, Wu Yi's arrogance had been suppressed, but the more Gan Ning spoke, the more excited he became. Suddenly, he waved his arms and shouted at Wu Yi: "If my lord does not have me, Gan Xingba, how can we come to today's foundation? If my lord, Wu Yi, would not It's nothing more than the loss of a concubine who warms the bed!"

Wu Yi looked up at Gan Ning, dumbstruck, shocked physically and mentally!

Except for Pang Tong, everyone else in the hall changed face when they heard the words!

"Cough cough."

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin hurriedly got up and went to pull Ganning back.

That sentence just now is not something that can be said casually!

Sarcastic Wu Yi is nothing more than saying that Guo Jia is an incompetent monarch.
Regardless of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin who came forward to pull him, Gan Ning struggled left and right, panting and staring at Wu Yi.

Wu Yi didn't expect Gan Ning to be furious, as if he lost his mind after being drunk, these words, no matter if they were insane or in his heart, since they were spoken, they must not be ignored.

"Great Governor, is this how you see my lord? You have to understand, it's not that the lord would not have today's inheritance without you, but that you will never achieve what you are today if you don't get the lord's appreciation! Excuse me for my farewell, what the lord said , I will tell the lord!"

After Wu Yi finished speaking, he turned around and walked out without saluting.

The stunned young generals in the hall did not react, but Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were not confused. If Wu Yi passed Gan Ning's words to Guo Jia's ears, Gan Ning would definitely suffer.

"Come here, stop General Wu, lock him into a wing in the mansion, and keep him under strict guard."
