Chapter 107: Assassination
The raid in Dianjiang City broke out very suddenly and ended very quickly.
Gan Ning's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits made him mistakenly predict the situation on the battlefield, and at the same time, he also exposed his purpose in the open.
If he had just asked Li Hu to attack Dianjiang City at the beginning and acted like he wanted to attack the city, he would sneak into the city and destroy Dianjiang City. Maybe Li Jing was caught off guard and he might have opened the city gate by him.
If the army rushes into the city, Li Jing will not have a chance to save it.
Unfortunately, Gan Ning wanted to use Li Hu to attack the city from the front to restrain Li Jing and attract the attention of Dianjiang City. But he never thought that not everyone was Liu Fan, but he was Gan Xingba. Without several times the strength of the troops, who dared to start a war easily?
But this disproportionate force not only did not restrain the attractiveness, but instead made Li Jing feel suspicious and inspected the soldiers sent in Dianjiang City.
Therefore, the main reason for Gan Ning's failure in this raid was that he was anxious and underestimated the enemy.
He thought Li Jing would be like the previous city guards, and he was panicked when he saw the army siege. He would only quickly mobilize troops to defend the city, and would not do anything else. If Gan Ning led Liu Fan's troops like before, Li Jing might have really panicked.
But he never thought that he was leading the warrior this time. Li Jing was not unfamiliar with the warriors. Although he would be surprised, he would not be afraid. After all, the warriors did not have the momentum of Liu Fan's defeat in the battles.
If they were attacking Liu Fan's flag, Li Jing might have been frightened. Unfortunately, Gan Ning was not considerate and was anxious. The raid strategy was too hasty, and Li Jing could see the flaws.
Gan Ning's defeat was also the first time he had lost the battle since he followed Liu Fan's command. Compared to the defeat of siege, Gan Ning was more unwilling to accept this battle. Although he was injured many times, the first thing he did after returning to the barracks was to discuss with Li Hu to lead his troops to attack Dianjiang City again.
Central Army camp
Li Hu's face was as deep as water, looking at Gan Ning, who was bandaged by a military doctor while talking about the next strategy.
"Wu Yong, I didn't think about the raid just now, but I will definitely succeed this time!" Staring at Li Hu, Gan Ning said with a confident look: "You just imagine, who would have expected that another raid would be launched after a raid! If I don't say that there are so many, I'm sure Li Jing in the city will definitely not be prepared!"
Seeing that Li Hu still did not respond, Gan Ning was not embarrassed and said directly: "And this time I am the only one who leads the dead soldiers to sneak into the city to capture the city. You just need to ambush the city gate at the city gate. At that time, open the Longmen and you quickly lead the troops in. The small Dianjiang City can be determined by dozens of dollars!"
Looking at Gan Ning who was excited about speaking silently for a while, Li Hu seemed to feel that it was not appropriate to just respond like this, so he said, "I am sad that the soldiers were damaged and the attack was not good. I also want to take down Dianjiang City quickly, but I still want to remind you that the lieutenant is the chief general of the army and should not trust him in danger several times. If Xingba is still persistent, I have the right to exercise the duties of the deputy general."
He stopped talking and Gan Ning stared at Li Hu. The two of them collided, and at this moment, no one gave in to each other.
After leaving, Gan Ning spoke again, "Wu Yong, is he determined not to support me this time?"
Shaking his head, Li Hu also responded softly again, "Person Gan should understand that you are angry now and should not go out again. You need to calm down first. We can take this opportunity to wait for news in the city, or consult the Zuo Zhonglang General in Ansen City."
"What do you mean is to question my ability to command troops?" Gan Ning looked at Li Hu with a cold expression.
"It's not so!" Li Hu looked helpless, and at this moment he felt a little difficult to ride a tiger. "I just wanted our army to take Dianjiang with the smallest casualties. After all, I was not very popular with the number of warriors!"
Youyou stared at Li Hu, but Gan Ning did not respond.
After a long time, he suddenly stood up and shook his arms a few times. After feeling that nothing was wrong, he picked up his own clothes and started to wear them. His face changed slightly, and Li Hu stared at Gan Ning's actions, not knowing what he wanted to do.
After Gan Ning finished wearing it, he did not talk to Li Hu, so he walked out of the camp. Li Hu hurriedly stopped him, with a somewhat solemn expression, "Personnel Gan, what he said just now is really heartfelt. If there is no proper strategy, I really don't recommend launching another surprise attack!"
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
His tone stopped, and Li Hu looked at the faint anger floating in Gan Ning's eyes, clenched his fists, lowered his head without saying a word.
"Get out of the way! Even if the General of the Central Army came in person today, I would have to raid the second time, cut off the head of Li Jing and take Dianjiang City!" Suddenly, Gan Ning shouted angrily at Li Hu.
Taking a deep breath, Li Hu still remained motionless.
"You get out of the way. At worst, I won't lead you to fight. I have my own hundred entourages." As he spoke, Gan Ning slowly took a step back and clenched his fists, as if he wanted to fight with Li Hu.
Looking at Gan Ning with a frown, Li Hu knew that it was this time that Gan Ning personally suffered most of the casualties and injuries from the guards that aroused his anger of revenge in his heart, but how could the two armies act irresponsible?
After opening his mouth, Li Hu wanted to persuade him again. But suddenly he heard that the soldiers outside the tent came to report that Pang De of Anhan led the cavalry department to the outside of the camp.
After looking at Gan Ning, seeing that he also let go of his fists and snorted coldly, Li Hu slowly lowered his hand, and then the two of them went to greet Pang De, one after another.
Outside the plane
When Pang De, who was sitting on a white horse, saw Gan Ning wearing a regular dress, his eyebrows were slightly raised. As a general in the army, when he was leading troops to fight, he mostly had armor and armor on his body. Sometimes he might sleep with armor when he was resting at night. Generals like Gan Ning who were fond of war usually had armor and armor on his body.
If he takes off, there is only one answer. He is injured and needs to take off his armor and receive bandage.
After turning over and dismounting, Pang De strode to Gan Ning and asked with a little surprise: "Is Xingba's outfit injured?"
Nodded with a deep voice, Gan Ning responded, "I tried a raid before, but failed. After some minor injuries, I am planning another raid and caught them off guard!"
He nodded to himself and listened, but the corners of Pang De's eyes shrank slightly. He came here to bring a task, but he felt that the matter was not serious, but it was just a formality, but at this moment he became cautious. Because the development of the matter was going in the direction that Fa Xiaozhi and him had told before he came.
He glanced at Li Hu on the side. Seeing that he didn't say much, Pang De grabbed Gan Ning's hand, nodded, and walked into the central army tent with him, "Xingba, don't rush to attack the city again. I am ordered to come this time to bring you one person."
Looking at Pang De with confusion, Gan Ning looked confused.
Pang De did not explain and led him to walk into the camp. After everyone entered the camp and sat down, Gan Ning rushed Pang De impatiently, "Ling Ming, what's the matter? You can finish it quickly. I still want to attack Dianjiang City and make contributions!"
He raised his hand to comfort Gan Ning. Pang Deman looked cold and glanced at the tent, and said steadily: "I am the order of the lord to lead the cavalry to come here for two main purposes. One is to assist the army in attacking and seizing Dianjiang."
Seeing Gan Ning and Li Hu, seeing that neither of them responded, Pang De continued: "The second is to bring Zuo Zhonglang to this place!"
After the words came to an end, Gan Ning and Li Hu all changed their faces!
Staring at Pang De in shock, Gan Ning was a little uncertain, looking around the people in the tent, and finally staring at Pang De, "Ling Ming, don't joke with me. How could this happen like this coincidence?"
He smiled helplessly, and Pang De was helpless, "I think Guan Xingba's reaction should also know the responsibility of assassinating the traitor, so I won't explain much." At that moment, Pang De shouted outside the tent: "Chengbo, come in the account too!"
After saying that, a young man slowly walked in wearing brocade clothes, a heart-protecting glasses on his chest, and a short knife hanging on his waist.
He bowed to Pang De, then bowed to Gan Ning. Li Hu bowed and said softly: "The traitor Ma Qi came to supervise the army of the captain Gan Ning on the order of the lord. Please take care of him!"
His face was stiff, and Gan Ning and Li Hu both forgot to respond. The position of assassination started from the time of Wang Mang. In order to strengthen his control over the army, Wang Mang specially set up the assassination to supervise the army and had the power to punish the generals and schoolmen who were Fan Chou in the army.
Later, after Guangwu continued the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang's policy of assassination was continued. Generals could establish left-handed assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassination assassin
If it were Liu Fan's sudden establishment of a traitor, Gan Ning would have laughed it off before. He had not made any mistakes yet. The traitor was useless to him. However, for him at this moment, it was a sharp blade that could kill him.
"How could this happen!" Gazing widened his eyes, Gan Ning couldn't accept it, turned his head to look at Pang De, he wanted to appeal.
He slowly stood up from his seat, Pang De's expression was also cautious, staring at Gan Ning, his face was cold, "Xingba should not do anything extreme. I wonder if the original intention of the lord to set up this position was not to target you!"
Clenched his fists and counted breaths, Gan Ning had no choice but to slack off, and finally collapsed on the couch. Li Hu next to him was also as deep as water. At this moment, he was in a particularly serious mood. In fact, on weekdays, if Liu Fan really sent a traitor, he could also restrain his soldiers from abide by the law.
But at this critical moment when Gan Ning took the risk of raiding and defeat, someone needed to bear the responsibility of killing hundreds of soldiers in battle. Obviously, this newly appointed assassin will not show mercy.
At this time, Ma Qi, who had been talking after entering the tent, finally spoke. His eyes were on Gan Ning and Li Hu's face, and Ma Qi smiled and said, "According to the crime of casualties in marching and fighting, the two of them had just arrived in Dianjiang City, but had not found out clearly and had not made sufficient arrangements, so they rushed to attack Dianjiang City.
It caused hundreds of soldiers to die. I have reason to think that you and the two of you are inappropriate in this battle. For the sake of our army's follow-up, I will arrest you and collect the power and leave it to deal with it."
He suddenly looked up and Gan Ning and Li Hu were all staring at Ma Qi, but Ma Qi's expression was still the same, and continued: "As the main general in this battle, Gan Ning is eager for quick success and instant benefits and does not investigate the battlefield. In accordance with the military order, he took over the military commander of Gan Ning, stayed in the army, and reflected on himself."
"Impossible! Why do you deal with me like this?" He immediately refuted, and Gan Ning did not admit Ma Qi's punishment at all.
Miserly took out the seal in his arms, Gan Ning's eyes instantly shrank, staring at Ma Qi, "Is this the seal of the General of the Central Army?"
"The lord has an order to assassinate the traitor to act on his behalf, and he has the right to behead him first and then report him. If Captain Gan is dissatisfied, he can make a defense when he leads his troops."
At this moment, Gan Ning wilted like an eggplant made from frost.
Ma Qi didn't care about him, looked at Li Hu, and said in a cold voice: "As the deputy general of this battle, Li Hu also has an unshirkable responsibility for defeat. According to the law, Li Hu's right to dispatch troops to fight will be suspended, and will be left to the military camp and reflect on himself."
Hearing this, Li Hu turned his head to look at Gan Ning, looked up at Pang De, and finally he could nod and agree.
Seeing this, Pang De, who had been standing silently, slowly let go of his hand holding the hilt of the sword. Looking at Gan Ning and Li Hu who were bowing their heads and silently, Pang De was also quite helpless, "You two have come to this point, so don't worry about your own grief. Let's think about whether there will be good plans next. When the lord comes, he will give him advice and may be able to make the merits and sin."
He turned his head and looked at Ma Qi, who was standing upright and expressionless, and Pang De sighed helplessly, "As the lord defeated the powerful men of Ba County, and the number of troops under his command is increasing, it is inevitable to set up a traitor-supervising army. In the future, we will be more cautious!"
After saying that, Pang De no longer cared about Gan Ning and Li Hu, who were secretly sad, stepped out of the central army's tent and began to rectify the soldiers. As Ma Qi suspended Gan Ning as the assassination, after Li Hu's position, Pang De became the only general of these thousands.
He needed to quickly integrate the army and cheer up these soldiers again.
After learning that Li Hu had suspended the power of transferring troops due to his previous defeat in the siege, he had nothing to say. He silently accepted Pang De's arrangement. Of course, this has something to do with Li Hu's introduction and the instructions from all the soldiers.
After all, when entering the military camp, you should abide by the rules and defeat the rewards, and if you fail, you have to accept punishment. Fortunately, Li Hu just cannot dispatch troops. He leads troops every day and trains soldiers.
It didn't matter to everyone, and it began to sound Pang De's arrangements.
After a few days, Liu Fan, who had finished handling the Anhan matter, finally led a large army to the city of Dianjiang.
On the day of arrival, Liu Fan did not blame Gan Ning. Instead, after seeing him being injured, he directly lined up under Dianjiang City.
At the city Li Jing, Liu Fan shouted angrily: "You hurt my generals, have you ever thought about the consequences!"
