After annihilated Han Sui's main force, the battle situation in the northwest completely lost its suspense, and the final question was when Han Sui died.

Gan Ning ordered people to escort four enemy generals to Chang'an, and then led their troops back to Wuwei.

Outside Wuwei City, Pang De arrived just before Gan Ning led his army back.

There were only hundreds of soldiers guarding the camp outside Wuwei. Pang De came alone and saw Ganning's triumphant troops and rode his horse to meet him.

"The General of the Imperial Palace has met the Great Governor and came to the Great Governor's tent to obey the orders. After the war in the Northwest ends, the Imperial Palace will remain under General Ma's command."

Gan Ning smiled gently and said, "Ling Ming doesn't have to be too polite in front of me, so I'd better go back to the camp first."

After saying that, Gan Ning looked back at Ma Chao thoughtfully.

After winning the battle, Ma Chao felt refreshed, and at this time, his expression was a little surprised.

Pang De abandoned him and now the two of them work together again, but Guo Jia instead assigned Pang De to him.

It seemed like an embarrassing situation, but Ma Chao had no grudges about Pang De. After a look of surprise flashed, Ma Chao smiled cheerfully and patted Ma to Pang De and said with a smile: "Ling Ming, it seems that your fate is not over."

Pang De responded with a faint smile: "I can't ask for it."

When the army returned to the camp, Gan Ning calculated the days and the food and supplies should be delivered tomorrow. It was confirmed by Pang De himself, so he ordered the reward of the three armies. After all, a great victory was fought. After this battle, Wuwei County could declare a change of ownership. Next, it would take a temporary rest and continue to pursue Han Sui to the northwest until he was wiped out. At least, it would be necessary to insert all the four counties in Hexi into the Taiping Army's flag.

Several generals followed Gan Ning to sit in the commander's tent. The atmosphere was very good, and everyone had the joy of victory on their faces. However, before Gan Ning could smooth the corners of his clothes with his hands, outside the tent, he assigned a left-behind lieutenant to report the situation in the past few days when he went out to war.

"Report to the Grand Governor, when the Grand Governor went to war, the people in Wuwei City were waiting for an opportunity to attack every day. Nearly a hundred soldiers from our army were either killed or injured. Last night, a thousand young and strong men in the city gathered together to steal food from the outside camp. If it weren't for the early discovery, the consequences would be unimaginable."

After hearing this news, not only Gan Ning's face was gloomy, but the other generals also frowned and looked unhappy.

When they were in a good mood, they were poured with cold water on their heads.

Ma Chao's mood suddenly became clear. He did not stare at Han Sui and ignored the others. After thinking about it, he clasped his fists and said to Gan Ning: "Grandmaster, the people in the northwest are fierce and unyielding. I wish I could speak abruptly and to the people here. It is difficult to govern by ethics alone. According to my opinion, those who do not accept it will be punished severely. Those who cause trouble will be punished severely. Those who kill people will naturally pay their lives. If they are traitors who deceive the public and commit crimes again, they will also be killed."

Others did not express their opinions, but Meng Da nodded and agreed.

Gan Ning, Zhang, Liao and Wu Yi showed contemplative expressions.

It is a military rule to be uncompromising to the people, but marching and fighting to attack cities and plunder the land. Especially when entering the enemy's territory, it is difficult to really be at peace with the people. However, as long as the Taiping Army does not take the initiative to show the attitude of invading the plunderer, occasionally there will be incidents that will affect the fish in the pond, the generals in the army will usually go out of the way.

Guo Jia entered Yizhou, attacked Guanzhong, pacified the southern barbarians, and also attacked Jingzhou during this period. It was difficult for him to avoid conflicts with the people when he led his army himself. However, these things were separate and small individual events, and there were no signs of scale or impact on the overall situation. However, the situation in Wuwei today is a bit tricky.

It is easy to wave a butcher knife, and Gan Ning is definitely not a cruel person. It is just that his killing ultimately affects Guo Jia's reputation.

Guo Jia is in Yizhou and the people in Guanzhong have a benevolent monarch. If Gan Ning starts killing in Wuwei, the blood from this city will be directly poured on Guo Jia.

In a dilemma, hesitation.

Just as Gan Ning was thinking about a compromise, Pang De stood up and left the table and came to Gan Ning, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Gan Ning.

"Grandmaster, this is a letter from Lord Xu to hand me over to the Grandmaster before I came to Wuwei from Jincheng."

Pang De sent the letter to Gan Ning and sat back.

Gan Ning opened it and looked even more solemn.

This letter was written by Xu Shu, but it contained Guo Jia's military order.

In order to attack Han Sui, whether it is Han people, Qiang, Hu, Yi and Di, those who resist and do not follow him, the three tribes of Yi!

This order allowed Gan Ning to think about how to deal with the situation in Wuwei without having to worry, but he was a little uneasy.

His friendship with Guo Jia for nearly twenty years was shocked when facing this military order.

Guo Jia seemed to have suddenly turned from an extreme of good to an extreme of evil.

What is the most ruthless punishment?

The three tribes of Yi!

"Wu Yi and Meng Da, mobilized ten thousand soldiers and followed me into the city."

Gan Ning stood up with a solemn look on his face and handed the letter to Zhang Liao who was sitting on his hands.

Wu Yi and Mengda didn't know what was written in the letter, but he guessed that the letter had unusual orders, so he immediately got up and walked out of the tent to mobilize the troops.

After reading this letter, Zhang Liao's reaction was exactly the same as Gan Ning's, with a solemn expression that implicitly worried.

Walking out of the tent, Gan Ning walked towards Wuwei City, and then asked someone to take the civil affairs household registration book from the Wuwei Government Office. He also called some officials in Wuwei City who had already surrendered for Han Sui and handed the household registration book to them. While walking towards the city, Gan Ning said softly without looking back: "I want you to find out all the residents in the city one by one. If you have not been naturalized, you have dereliction of duty before."

Several middle-aged people followed Gan Ning and walked with a timid voice, their heads covered with cold sweat. They had no idea what Gan Ning was going to do, and investigate the population?

There are only tens of thousands of people in Wuwei, what can I investigate?

Or is there any serious offenders in this city?

Anyway, they couldn't guess that for the sake of their own life and future prospects, they had to do what Gan Ning had to give in.

After the mobilization of ten thousand soldiers and horses, Wu Yi, Meng Da, Ma Chao, Zhang, Liao, Pang De, the five generals followed Gan Ning, and the army crossed the road and opened the way into Wuwei.

Before the capture of Wuwei, there were military camps inside and outside the city, but Gan Ning wanted to fight against the Western Liang army led by Cheng Gongying, and the military camps in Wuwei City retreated. If the people in the city wanted to escape, they would let them escape. After all, it was even more bitter and colder than the northwest. To the southeast, it was Guo Jia's territory. There was no difference between escaping and not escaping.

The Taiping Army's withdrawal from Wuwei to the outside of the city actually helped boost the resistance of the people in the city.

Before, they only dared to attack the patrol soldiers in the Taiping Army City secretly. Now, they dared to gather crowds to attack the military camps outside the city with the intention of robbing food. No matter which warlord was, it was untolerable.

When Gan Ning returned to the camp, he took off his armor and now he entered the city wearing only ordinary robes. The soldiers drove the way on both sides of the road, and Gan Ning led the people into the city.

The people in the city looked at Gan Ning and others from both sides of the road, with different expressions and colors, but they all had a very tacit understanding of Gan Ning and others with resentment.

Gan Ning didn’t understand, where did their hatred come from?

Is it a natural disaster or a **, or a yearning for freedom and unwilling to be ruled?

The group of people walking towards the city government office suddenly changed and suddenly changed on both sides of the road.

A group of young and strong men were watching Gan Ning walk with their arms around her, but when Gan Ning was approaching, several people rushed forward to push the Taiping Army on the side of the road away, showing a road. Behind them, a young man rushed up with a big pot of steaming green smoke.

Gan Ning stopped his steps and his expression remained unchanged. Just as he was about to draw his sword, several guards rushed up behind him, drawing his sword to protect him behind him. When the young man holding the pot saw this scene, he did not hesitate. He gritted his teeth and turned his ruthless face and threw the pot filled with boiling oil in his hand towards Gan Ning.

Thorny

The hot oil did not splash on Gan Ning, but someone who was loyal to him fell to the ground and screamed with his face.

Bang bang

The iron pot rolled on the ground for several times, and the sound stopped.

A soldier behind wanted to arrest the young man who could already be used assassination to determine his character, but he didn't expect that the man threw the pot at Gan Ning and turned around and ran away.

The Taiping Army soldiers wanted to chase after him, but were blocked by the young man who was connected to the mountain.

The people around who saw this scene raised their arms and shouted happily.

Gan Ning looked around. When the unarmed people turned hatred to him, they were still shouting freely. Even if they didn't see his embarrassed side, they would at least make them ugly.

The soldiers who were blocked by the people held the sword and hesitated for a long time. At this time, Gan Ning walked to the soldiers and reached out to hold the sword from one of them and held it in his hand.

As soon as he took a step forward, the three young men in Wuwei City looked at Gan Ning without fear. They had previously covered the man and hindered the pursuit, but they had no intention of escaping.

"Ha, I have courage."

Gan Ning glanced away and sneered.

Without any warning, Gan Ning turned his face to face those people, and waved his sword and fell!

An arm flew out of the sky!

The movements continued, Gan Ning took a small step to the left, repeating the previous movement. In the blink of an eye, five arms fell on the ground and blood sprinkled on the spot.

The five young men screamed and rolled on the ground with their bloody shoulders that were exposed to their bones.

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became silent, with only screams.

Zhang Liao and others looked at each other expressionlessly.

The Taiping Army soldiers who were poured on their faces were helped up by someone. He only screamed at the beginning, but now he is gritting his teeth and enduring it. His face is destroyed and his flesh is fuzzy and shocking.

Gan Ning grabbed the young man screaming on the ground with a cold look on his face, as if he could lift his scalp down and threw him in front of the disfigured Taiping Army soldier.

"Kowtow, kowtow until you die!"

Gan Ning spoke indifferently, as if she had no hatred.

The young man held his bleeding shoulders and raised his head and spitted at Gan Ning.

"dream!"

Gan Ning was not angry either, and he had enough hooked his fingers to the civil affairs officer who was already trembling all over and even incontinent.

Several middle-aged men holding the household registration book came to Gan Ning with weak legs waiting for the call.

"Finding out his family, father, mother, wife, as long as he is in Wuwei, he will find out for me, and he will catch one and kill one."
