Piaotianwen     It was already autumn. After the rest of the entire Wuwei army, Ganning led his army westward and stepped into Zhangye County.

The three armies were majestic and arrogant, and no one could stop them all the way west.

Seeing that Wulancheng was approaching, Gan Ning, who had a expressionless face, was in the same mood as Zhang Liao and others: they were full of hatred!

While Han Sui retreated, he spread public opinion that was unfavorable to the Taiping Army in counties along the way. Even the massacre in Wuwei City was proof of this remark.

From Wuwei to Wulan, there are seven county towns along the way. Every time they enter a city, Gan Ning will suppress at least three small-scale civil unrest. According to Guo Jia's military order, the three tribes of Yi will deal with it. The city they pass by will flow into a river.

The Wulan in front of her was reported by Gan Ning three days ago: Han Sui fled to the wind and continued to go west, probably already fled to Jiuquan County at this time.

Gan Ning didn't have to think about it. The people in this Wulan City would definitely have fierce opposition to the Taiping Army.

"Grandmaster, you can't kill again. If you kill again, your lord's reputation will be ruined for the rest of your life!"

Wu Yi rushed forward and said earnestly to Gan Ning.

There is a saying that goes: Good things do not go out and bad things go thousands of miles.

Guo Jia has been doing good deeds and accumulating virtues to the people of Yizhou and Guanzhong for ten years, and slaughtered in the northwest for a while. The criticism between the two is probably the image of a tyrant that will far conceal the image of a benevolent king.

How could Gan Ning not understand this principle?

However, this military order was issued by Guo Jia, not his own decision. Guo Jia should have expected such consequences. In this case, what room does he have to disobey the military order?

"No need to say much, enter the city."

Gan Ning waved his hand and ordered the three armies to enter the city.

"Let's wait!"

Wu Yi rode his horse out of the crowd and stepped forward in front of the formation. He suddenly turned over and got off the horse and knelt down on one knee at Gan Ning, holding his head up and holding his fist.

"Grandmaster, please think twice before you can ask your lord for a while."

The autumn wind is bleak, and the three armies are moved.

Ordinary soldiers would not know about the dispute between generals in the commander's tent. At most, they would just leave it behind when they listened to some gossip. But what happened in front of them was indeed a scene where the generals and the commanders had disagreements.

Gan Ning looked down at Wu Yi and whispered: "Wu Yi, retreat. It's simply unreasonable. I acted according to the orders of my lord, and now I ask my lord to ask me to question my lord and disobey my order?"

Wu Yi lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I dare not, but this act of massacre of the people is completely lost. If it is contrary to morality, what if the lord has obtained all the four counties of Hexi? If the subjects are not convinced, the disaster will surely be caused in the future. I hope the Grand Governor will think twice before taking action and ask the lord to consider this matter again."

Gan Ning suddenly opened his eyes and glared at Wu Yi. He said sternly: "Wu Yi! You are arrogant! The subjects are dissatisfied? Those who dissatisfied are mobs. Who dares to dissatisfied? My Taiping Army has never violated the people. If those mobs were not stubborn and violent, how could I kill them? I asked myself. None of the dead souls under the knife was innocent. The person who came, tied up Wu Yi and took them back to Chang'an. If you want to ask your lord, go by yourself!"

Others were in an uproar. Meng Da wanted to ask for love, but Gan Ning raised his hand and stared at Wu Yi with a sharp look. The subtext of this action was that others should not waste their words and talk more. He had decided.

Zhang Liao closed his eyes. He was not going to plead for Wu Yi. In front of the soldiers of the three armies, Gan Ning's authority as the commander cannot be provoked. If he really evolved from a discord between generals and generals to a military admonition, then this battle would not be fought. The generals from top to bottom would definitely be swallowed by Guo Jia's thunderous anger.

Wu Yi was tied up and dragged down. He was still asking Gan Ning not to enter the city to slaughter the people easily, but Gan Ning turned a deaf ear to these words.

After a riot, Gan Ning led his army into the city. As expected, the people attacked the Taiping Army at the gate of the city. Without any hesitation, Gan Ning ordered the people who resisted and dissatisfied on the spot, and began to search for relatives of the three tribes of the criminals in the city according to the orders of the three tribes of the Yi tribes.

The death toll in Wulan City exceeded 10,000 that day!

Han Sui continued to flee northwest from Wulan. This time, every time he passed by a city, he would leave hundreds of people behind inciting the people to resist the Taiping Army, and build simple fortifications in the city. The intention was already very obvious, which was to delay the Taiping Army and force Gan Ning to withdraw its troops when winter came.

Gan Ning rushed to the west, and the counties such as Shaowu, Lexu, Huishui, Lufu and others were all flattened, and Han Sui escaped from Jiuquan before Gan Ning arrived and went to Dunhuang County.

Within one month, Ganning led its army to more than 20 cities in three counties and slaughtered more than 70,000 people in four counties in Hexi...

Two months later, Han Sui concentrated less than 10,000 troops to station at Yumen Pass. There was a scene of the Gobi desert outside the pass, which was obviously not conducive to the Taiping Army's expedition here. Looking back, the supply line of the Ganning Army was also infinitely lengthened.

Gan Ning garrisoned troops in Guangzhi, Dunhuang County, and sent a fast horse back to Chang'an to bring the news to Guo Jia.

Seeing that winter is approaching, Han Sui is guarding Yumen Pass. This battle may not be over this year, so what should I do now?

The autumn leaves are lonely and quiet. Guo Jia is standing by the pond in the courtyard, Wu Yi is accompanying him. In the pavilion behind him, Xiao Qiao is holding Guo Ying, Wu Xian and Cai Yan sit aside, listening to Guo Ye telling Guo Ying the story of the war, and the whole family is happy.

"I didn't expect Han Sui to have this plan. Haha, he actually wanted to make a comeback, which is simply a fool."

Guo Jia had read the documents sent by Gan Ning and smiled relaxedly.

The current situation is very obvious. Han Sui extended the supply line of the Taiping Army and moved the battlefield to the Gobi Desert. He occupied Yumen Pass and naturally defended easily. The troops in the Taiping Army were either cavalry, crossbows and archers, but the only one pike soldier was not a skilled person in siege.

Winter is coming, and when the Taiping Army cannot defeat Han Sui and wants to save food and grass, he will inevitably withdraw his troops.

At this time, Han Sui was given the opportunity to regroup and counterattack the four counties of Hexi.

Anyway, it was a tug-of-war. As long as the Taiping Army retreated, Han Sui would advance. When the Taiping Army advances, Han Sui retreated to Yumen Pass to protect himself.

After Wu Yi was taken back to Chang'an, he was not criticized by Guo Jia, just as Wu Yi was transferred back from the front line.

"As for the current situation, is the lord planning to concentrate his troops to wipe out Han Sui next year?"

Wu Yi asked softly.

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "No, there are not many people in the four counties in Hexi. I just need to support these tens of thousands of troops. Isn't it just to endure it for a winter? Haha, I can still take out this little property."

Since he had already reached Dunhuang County, there was no reason to withdraw his troops. The 40,000 troops said that there were not too many or too few. It was not a painful thing for Guo Jia to travel thousands of miles to deliver food.

Not only did he transport grain, but he also brought the siege equipment. Guo Jia's purpose was very simple. He was cleared with the four counties of Hexi. Didn't Han Sui occupy Yumen Pass? Then he would capture Yumen Pass. He died at Yumen Pass. If he escaped from the gate, he would also let him escape. Anyway, there would be no more ** warlords in the four counties of Hexi.

Wu Yi nodded. In this case, Guo Jia will officially unify Guanxi in just half a year!

The cost here seems to be a bit heavy, not only the consumption of war, but also the loss of population.

"Lord, I don't understand that the people of the four counties of Hexi were bewitched by Han Sui. If the lord could operate the four counties of Hexi for two years and three years, the people would be convinced. But why should we use such fierce means to treat innocent people?"

Guo Jia turned his head and glanced at Wu Yi, patted his shoulder and said softly: "Whether the people are bullied, are the people innocent? We should first ask the soldiers who were attacked. The four counties in Hexi are just used to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys."

Wu Yi was full of doubts, killing a chicken to warn the monkey?

Who did you kill?

He couldn't think of it.

Guo Jia will not explain again.

Looking south from afar, Guo Jia often looks in that direction after Guandu.

His eyes had already been aimed at Jingzhou.

After the Northwest War was decided, Wu Yi suddenly looked sad and asked Guo Jia in a low voice: "Master, I have a gap with the Grand Governor. I still don't understand the lord's intention."

Guo Jia's lips raised slightly, as if he was not worried about conflicts between his generals.

"Don't worry about this, one day, you will understand. Xingba tied you up and sent you back to Chang'an. In the spring of the following year, you will go to the Hanzhong Navy to serve as the unified position of the capital."

Guo Jia looked at the pond with fallen leaves, smiling strangely.

Wu Yi was shocked and suspicious, his expression full of worry.

Whose subordinate is the Hanzhong Navy?

Gan Ning is the commander-in-chief of the Navy!

Guo Jia transferred Wu Yi to the navy again. After Gan Ning pacified the northwest, he returned to Hanzhong. Wu Yi was still Gan Ning's subordinate. He might have said that more intense conflicts would arise at that time.

Wu Yi couldn't understand Guo Jia's intention, but he took the order and stopped asking.

Guo Jia suddenly saw Guo Ying running out in a hurry, turned around and asked the person in the pavilion, "What are she doing? She runs so urgently."

Cai Yan said to Guo Jia loudly: "Yingying heard Ye'er say that Gan Gui survived the battlefield with her back, so she wanted to thank Xiaojiu Brother, haha."

"She is the greatest thanks for not causing trouble for others. Please find a few maids to follow her. The weather is getting colder and bumps are the most likely to be hurt."

Guo Jia smiled happily and returned to the pavilion after Wu Yi left. Cai Yan played the piano and Guo Ye danced the sword, as if carefree.

Gan Ning led his army to station in Guangzhi. After receiving the food, grass and equipment sent by Guo Jia, he planned to send troops to Yumen Pass after passing the winter!

The war in the northwest has always been under the attention of Cao Cao. He hoped that Han Sui could cause trouble for Guo Jia, but at least he would delay the time when Guo Jia unified Guanxi.

When the information from Guanxi reached Xuchang, Cao Cao immediately summoned his advisers to discuss.

Cao Cao must attack Hebei before Guo Jia unified Guanxi, otherwise Guo Jia would have no worries and it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not make a single step when Cao Cao was about to reap profits. Only by expanding his territory to Hebei can Cao Cao arrange fortifications in Guanxi more calmly.

Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan fought in Qingzhou. Cao Cao was preparing for the war for half a year and finally decided to pick the fruits of victory, prepare food and grass, and prepare for war.
