Chapter 46: Raising soldiers and respecting themselves

Although Wu Yi was temporarily under house arrest in the backyard of Jiangling Prefecture, no one dared to hurt him at all.

There is a point where Wu Yi is very confident. Gan Ning dares not kill him, and it is impossible to even torture him. Otherwise, things will be out of control and may even cause an earthquake-magnitude change in the Taiping Army.

However, Wu Yi could not break through the siege and create chaos. If he had a mistake in the chaos, he would die inexplicably and be wronged.

So he calmly sat in the room and waited for Gan Ning's next move.

With Guo Jia's current power, he would never allow anyone under his command to show up with his own troops. Gan Ning's crazy words last night had already shown some signs of it.

The rising sun was rising, the sun shining brightly, and the door was pushed open from the outside. Wu Yi opened his eyes and saw the mighty and upright Gan Ning.

The door closed again, Gan Ning walked slowly to Wu Yi, and said calmly: "Ziyuan, you and I have had a friendship for more than ten years, and you should know something about someone."

Wu Yi looked at Gan Ning and his heart was ups and downs. In fact, he admired Gan Ning from the bottom of his heart. He had always felt guilty because of Guo Jia's secret order, but yesterday's words made him feel a sense of crisis in his heart.

This sense of crisis comes from loyalty to Guo Jia, respect to Gan Ning, and loyalty to Guo Jia. If Gan Ning really begins to feel respectful and arrogant, Wu Yi's respect for Gan Ning is gone, and instead he has the idea of ​​stifling the crisis in the cradle.

Seeing that Wu Yi was not speaking, Gan Ning said calmly: "I was drunk yesterday. Can Ziyuan make an announcement openly? What do you think about this matter?"

Wu Yi sneered and asked back: "I dare to ask the Grand Governor, if he just said nothing, why should he be under house arrest here?"

Gan Ning was speechless. When things developed to this point, the source was actually a mistake. Then Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin did not want Wu Yi to take advantage of the problem and take remedial measures, but they used the wrong method and it was difficult to stop the water. This made the situation tense and there was no room for reversal.

In Wu Yi's eyes, he was under house arrest, which was obviously Gan Ning's action to hide his ambitions. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin and others were very likely to form a clique with Gan Ning for personal gain. In the situation, Wu Yi did not put himself in his shoes and put himself in mind and think about what would happen if he was Zhou Tai or Jiang Qin in the face of the situation at that time.

As an officer superior, he naturally wanted to cover up his unintentional mistakes. It was a problem that the situation was getting worse and worse. He naturally wanted to suppress the matter. Unfortunately, although Wu Yi was nominally under Gan Ning's command, he was named by Guo Jia to guard the new city, so Gan Ning could not easily deal with it.

Once Wu Yi has something to do in Jiangling, Guo Jia will definitely ask him to ask the truth. Gan Ning will never be able to conceal this matter anyway. Therefore, as long as Wu Yi adheres to his duties, he will be safe and sound.

"Ziyuan means that someone is unfaithful to his lord? If someone lets Ziyuan go away, what will Ziyuan plan to do?"

Gan Ning stared at Wu Yi, as quiet as water.

Wu Yi was not afraid of the slightest fear of being arrogant and powerful, and said lightly: "The Grand Governor is not sure whether he is loyal or unfaithful to the lord. In the end, he will report to the lord truthfully what happened yesterday, and everything should be decided by the lord."

After hearing this, Gan Ning held his head up and said nothing.

He could already hear the firmness in Wu Yi's tone.

The most wrong thing about this is that both sides have made further progress. If Wu Yi was not under house arrest, he would probably think that Gan Ning was talking angry or was being carried away for a moment of complacency.

However, after being under house arrest, it seemed that Gan Ning wanted to cover up the situation and became darker, which strengthened Wu Yi's speculation that Gan Ning was respectful to his own troops.

This matter is quite serious, and Gan Ning is Jingzhou, which leads troops in the world, so he has to be very cautious.

How to deal with this matter is left to the lord.

Gan Ning suddenly changed his tone and stared at Wu Yi indifferently and said coldly: "Ziyuan, don't force me."

Wu Yi sneered even more.

"Why did the Grand Governor say this? The Grand Governor said yesterday and the words he spoke to the last general under house arrest, but one thing was made up by the Supreme Governor?"

Gan Ning's expression changed slightly, revealing a trace of ferocious expression, and said in a deep voice: "If you force each other, don't blame me for not being reminiscent of old love. If you can't leave Jiangling, I will write a letter to my lord. I will send generals to guard the new city. This Jiangling has my 150,000 army. After breaking Fancheng, I will report to the lord that it was you who had an affair with Cao Ren and wanted to rebel."

Do you take action first and then report? As long as there is a reasonable reason, Gan Ning can do this.

Wu Yi's expression changed drastically, not because Gan Ning wanted to harm him, but Gan Ning said another piece of news that shocked him.

"Gan Xingba! When the lord led his army back to Chengdu last year, Jiangling only left you 100,000 troops. How could you have 150,000 troops?"

It seemed that Gan Ning felt a loss of words and said something miserable. After being stunned, he raised a disdainful smile.

"Cao Ren in Fancheng has 70,000 troops. How can he defeat him with just 100,000 troops? I will recruit a new army within a few months. It will be easy to destroy Fancheng."

Wu Yi stood up and wanted to draw his sword, but when he touched his hand, he remembered that his arms were taken away. He looked at Gan Ning and shouted: "Gan Xingba! I recruited troops privately, do you want to rebel?"

Recruiting soldiers is something that can only be decided by the monarch at any time. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Ling of Han issued an edict to ask local governments to recruit rebel troops to wipe out the Yellow Turbans. The result was a situation where warlords raised troops from various places. The lessons of the past are vivid in my mind. Not to mention that Guo Jia would not tolerate his generals recruiting soldiers privately, all heroes in the world would not tolerate it, because this is their path to rise, so how could they give others the opportunity to deal with it in the same way?

Wu Yi rushed up like a wild beast. Gan Ning punched the opponent's shoulder. Wu Yi staggered back and fell to the edge of the bed several steps, pressing his painful shoulder. When Wu Yi raised his head and looked at Gan Ning again, he saw that Gan Ning had opened the door and was about to leave.

"Grandmaster, don't make you miss it forever!"

Wu Yi's shouting did not receive Gan Ning's response, and the door was closed tightly.

Sitting on the cold floor in dismay, Wu Yi was stunned and extremely unbelievable!

Gan Ning actually recruited troops privately and expanded his troops to 150,000!

If he had a rebellion, there would be less than 50,000 troops in Yizhou, and he would not be able to stop Gan Ning at all!

Even if Zhang Liao from Guanzhong led his troops to the fire to rescue the south, he still found it difficult to get through the Qinling Mountains and the Jiange Road in Hanzhong!

Wu Yi paced back and forth in the room, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he had to pass the news to Guo Jia.

Otherwise, when Gan Ning captures Fancheng and swallows the northern part of Jingzhou and even sweeps the Central Plains, what kind of power will Gan Ning develop at that time is unimaginable.

If Gan Ning really rebelled, Wu Yi thought that Gan Ning might burn Guo Jia's foundation, but it did not mean that Gan Ning would be able to win the beautiful country.

Because Gan Ning is at best a general, he lacks too much to be in charge of the overall situation. At that time, the situation where he finally recovers the mountains and rivers will be broken again.

The anxious Wu Yi was thinking anxiously in the room. It was not until the sun set that the door was pushed open again.

Wu Yi was shocked to find that the person coming was Pang Tong, and the other party took out a dagger from his arms after entering the door, which made Wu Yi look alert.

"Did Gan Xingba ask you to kill someone to silence you?"

Wu Yi found it ridiculous after asking.

If you want to kill him, it will not be the turn of Pang Tong to take action.

Even if he is facing the enemy with bare hands now, he is said to be one Pang Tong and ten Pang Tongs come to seek death.

Pang Tong didn't say much, and turned the dagger in his hand and handed it to Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was shocked and asked, "What is this?"

Pang Tong's face was solemn and said in a deep voice: "General takes me hostage and leaves Jiangling."

It turned out to be a rescuer!

Wu Yi took the dagger and hesitated. If Pang Tong was willing to help him, there must be a reason why Pang Tong did not help Gan Ning.

So Wu Yi's concerns were revealed to Pang Tong, and Pang Tong gave Wu Yi a definite answer with a heavy expression.

Wu Yi struggled, but he didn't expect that Gan Ning would become rebellious today!

But Wu Yi was also confused. If Pang Tong knew all this and was unwilling to collude with Gan Ning, why not report to Guo Jia?

Pang Tong saw his doubts and said lightly: "There is no heavy army in Yizhou to stop the Grand Commander from urging the army to counterattack. I will stay by the Grand Commander's side to secretly monitor his every move. Within a few months, I will encourage the Grand Commander to attack Fancheng. Fancheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack. For the sake of the current plan, I can only hope that both sides will suffer losses. After the troops under the Grand Commander's commander have been reduced, the lord will punish the Grand Commander's crime of being dismissed."

After hearing this, Wu Yi felt a little relieved. Pang Tong's words made sense. If Guo Jia comes to Gan Ning for accusation, Gan Ning may be anxious.

Without further ado, Wu Yi held Pang Tong hostage with a dagger and kicked open the door.

The soldiers stationed outside the gate were shocked when they saw Wu Yi holding Pang Tong out hostage, and did not dare to act rashly, so they had to report to Gan Ning immediately.

Walking out of the government office slowly, Wu Yi pulled the anxious Pang Tong to lead the door of the mansion. The scene that caught his eye shocked him.

Gan Ning led the army to abdicate the situation outside the government office. Zhou Tai, Jiang Qindian and Xu Yi were puzzled when they saw Wu Yi hostage Pang Tong.

How did things develop to this point?

"Wu Yi, are you seeking death?"

As soon as Gan Ning raised his hand, the archers around him set their bows and pointed the arrow at Wu Yi. It was obvious that Pang Tong, who was blocked by him, was even more in danger.

Wu Yi changed his mind and suddenly cried out that it was not good.

He ignored a problem. If Gan Ning shot him and Pang Tong here, then everything would be over!

"Grandmaster, as long as you let me go back safely, today's events will only be assumed to have not happened, and the last general will not hurt Military Advisor Pang at all."

Wu Yi was sweating coldly on his face. I wonder if Gan Ning would be ruined by Pang Tong here. If Gan Ning insisted on his own, then his current bargaining would be pale and powerless.

Gan Ning looked at Pang Tong with a complicated face.

If you die of a ill-hearted Wu Yi, you can explain to Guo Jia.

But if even Pang Tong died, let alone Guo Jia, as long as he was an official in Yizhou Prefecture, he would know that there was a strange change in Jingzhou.

After pondering, Gan Ning said to Wu Yi: "Wu Yi, I believe you once, someone will lead him."
