The generals followed Huang Zu and left, leaving Gan Ning alone in the commander's tent.
Until everyone left, Gan Ning clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Mr. Huang Zu, you idiot!
Bring yourself to your own death!
Trying to defend Jiangxia with only 3,000 troops left behind is simply a fool's errand!
Today's Lujiang County is not the Lujiang County during Yuan Shu's time.
During the Yuan Shu period, Lujiang County was controlled by Liu Xun.
Liu Xun was greedy for money, lustful and had no ambition, so he never attacked Jiangxia.
But now, it is Zhu Zhi and Cheng Pu from Jiangdong who guard Lujiang County!
Moreover, the two were still training naval forces in Ruxugang, Lujiang County.
Both of them are also good at water fighting.
The most terrifying thing is that Hefei, which was newly incorporated into Lujiang County, was guarded by Zhang Liao.
Who is Zhang Liao?
That was a general who was born in Bingzhou. He had followed Ding Yuan and Lu Bu all the way and had fought so far. He had extremely rich battlefield experience.
Moreover, he is good at cavalry.
Mr. Huang Zu actually dared to expose Jiang Xia to these three people——
Gan Ning walked out of the commander's tent depressedly.
Isn't this suicidal or what?
If this continues, I am afraid that I will soon become a prisoner.
Gan Ning came to the dock alone, looked at the troops training on the river, and let out a long sigh.
I think back then, when he failed in the Yizhou rebellion, he took a group of good brothers and wanted to cross the river and go to Jiangdong to seek refuge.
Who knew that he would be intercepted by Mr. Huang Zu and force himself to serve.
In the beginning, Mr. Huang Zu would still listen to himself.
Nowadays, as he gets older, Mr. Huang Zu becomes more and more confused.
This time, Jiang Xia will definitely be destroyed in his hands.
But what can I do?
Now he has even taken away the last bit of military power——
After taking a few deep breaths, Gan Ning was still a little unwilling.
Turning around, he went directly to Huang She and said: "Major General, our three thousand troops are completely insufficient! Now, the general has to lead the main force to assist Xiangyang. We have no choice but to die! Before the general goes out to fight, you can only persuade him."
Huang She glanced at Gan Ning with disdain.
He never liked Gan Ning.
This Gan Ning is not a good person.
He was a river thief. He used to frequently rob houses along the river, even intercept merchant ships on the river, and rape good women.
I don't know why my father suddenly went crazy. When Gan Ning defeated Yizhou and crossed the river, he stopped him and asked him to be an official.
If it were him, he would have killed Gan Ning with one blow.
Look at his words and deeds in the handsome tent today.
Look at how condescending and foolish he looks when he faces himself as a major general, thinking he has everything under control.
He really thought that he, a river thief, was more powerful than his father, a veteran who had been on the battlefield for more than ten years!
Huang She said coldly: "Gan Xingba, my father has long said that a soldier's duty is to obey orders."
"My father has given an order, and everyone should carry it out."
"Besides, now, you are just an ordinary soldier."
Pointing at Gan Ning, Huang She said: "Come here, take this soldier out. I am very busy with official duties. How can I be in the mood to see every soldier?"
Several soldiers came up quickly and pushed Gan Ning back.
Gan Ning knocked down a soldier with one punch.
Huang She immediately stopped, drew his sword, and scolded: "Gan Ning, are you planning to rebel?"
Countless soldiers rushed from all directions and quickly surrounded Gan Ning.
Gan Ning glanced around, looking at each of these familiar faces, his face so gloomy that it could drip with water.
These veterans who were not afraid of life and death are now about to die at the hands of an incompetent commander!
Gan Ning roared angrily and slapped himself in the face.
He hates it!
I hate that I have wasted all these years and ended up working in the hands of a fool like Grandfather Huang!
If he had insisted on going to Jiangdong despite Huang Zu's obstruction, he would have been a general of Jiangdong!
When everyone saw that Gan Ning slapped themselves angrily, they were a little afraid to come forward.
Gan Ning turned around and walked out directly from the crowd.
Huang She's eyes almost burst out with fire.
A thief is a thief!
Dogs can’t change eating shit!
I really thought that the military camp was his den of thieves, and he was used to running rampant and domineering!
A general made a gesture of wiping his neck towards Huang She.
Huang She waved his hand, put his sword back into the scabbard, and sneered: "It's not necessary. When father comes back from rescuing Xiangyang, we will laugh at him again! It's a joke to attack Lujiang one by one. Now Xiangyang is surrounded like this Who knows about confidential matters?"
After a pause, Huang She said to the general: "By the way, send someone to follow him. If he dares to leave the military camp, arrest him directly and throw him into prison to await his father's judgment."
The general responded and left quickly.
Huang She loudly said to the others: "Everything remains the same. During this period, no one is allowed to talk nonsense."
Virtual and real.
It was impossible for Lujiang County to know about the siege of Xiangyang City so quickly. Secondly, it was not known that his father had already mobilized the main force to assist Xiangyang City.
How could they attack Jiangxia rashly?
Do you really think that fighting is a passion among Jiang thieves?
This all requires strategy!
At night, the generals and Jiangxia's six thousand troops gathered in Xiakou.
As for Lujiang County, there was no abnormal intelligence report.
Huang Zu gave Huang She some more instructions, teaching him how to defend the city and how to pretend that nothing had happened, so as to prevent Lujiang County from getting confidential information and coming to attack the city.
Huang She wrote them down one by one.
Huang Zu then personally led an army of 6,000 people and marched from Xiakou Port to Hanjin Port in preparation for aiding Xiangyang.
The night passed.
There was still no movement in Lujiang County.
Early in the morning, Huang She woke up from his sleep and listened to the sergeant's report on the military situation.
Knowing that Jiangxia County was peaceful and Lujiang County was as usual, Huang She smiled and shook his head.
Fortunately, my father didn't listen to Gan Ning's words.
Otherwise, if we really don't go to Xiangyang to help, but sit in Jiangxia, when the time comes, Cai Mao will definitely take advantage of the Huang family.
Moreover, although others did not know how Liu Biao, the former Jingzhou herdsman, died, he did.
Cai Mao had already secretly sent a letter to his father and him.
Today, Jingzhou Mu is a loser like Liu Cong.
That waste has no ability at all.
While his father led the army to rescue Xiangyang, he was also able to put pressure on Liu Cong, a loser, and win more benefits for the Huang family.
In the future, Jingzhou will truly belong to the four major families!
If we don't fight for benefits at this time and let the other three major families take the lead, how will the Huang family compare to the other three major families in the future?
Especially the Cai family.
Huang Zu stretched himself, stood up leisurely and said, "Send a copy of this information to Gan Ning, the river thief, so that he can shut up as soon as possible."
"All day long, he has been cursing the fall of Jiangxia. What is his intention?"
"Tell him that I, Jiang Xia, will be fine."
"If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"
The soldier responded and gave the intelligence document to Gan Ning.
Gan Ning glanced at this information and his brows knitted into knots.
When Xiangyang was besieged, how could there not be any news leaked out?
How could Lujiang County not react at all?
It's so abnormal.
He smelled danger——
The tranquility before the coming rain.
However, this time, he did not go to Huang She again.
Huang She asked the soldiers to send this information to himself, who had been removed from the position of captain and was now just an ordinary soldier. It was clear that he wanted to humiliate himself and silence him.
In this case, why would this kind of waste waste time reminding him?
Gan Ning left quickly.
He wants to find his brothers.
Now Jiangxia must perish.
Those brothers of my own have followed me through life and death in my early years.
Others cannot be saved, but they cannot die in battle.
Time passed bit by bit.
Soon, night fell again.
Huang She was busy enough in one day. He not only had to handle Jiangxia's government affairs on behalf of his father Huang Zu, but also patrolled the Xiakou military camp.
After a busy day, I was ready to lie down in the handsome tent and sleep.
The soldiers outside came again to report: Gan Ning gathered nearly thirty people and tried to sneak out of Xiakou. They were stopped by the soldiers and are currently being held in a dungeon.
Huang She rolled his eyes.
Fortunately, I was smart and had already done something wrong and sent people to keep an eye on Gan Ning.
This Gan Ning is definitely going to surrender to the enemy.
Once he surrenders to the enemy and leaks Jiangxia's current secrets, then Jiangxia will be in danger!
However, I will not kill him.
His father always trusted him.
This time, when my father comes back, I must let him know him well: a thief is a thief, don't try to change him!
After blowing out the oil lamp, Huang She lay down on the bed and covered himself with quilt, and said to the soldier: "Don't worry about him for now. I'll rest for an hour, and then wake me up."
late at night.
Heavy fog gradually appeared on the river.
On the calm river surface, only the breeze blows, rolling up the river water and gently lapping the shore.
The Jiangxia soldiers patrolling the dock were stationed listlessly on all sides.
In the thick fog, a warship was like a sharp blade, slowly cutting through the veil formed by the thick fog.
As the warship emerged from the thick fog, warships followed quietly behind.
No open fires were lit on these warships.
One by one, the soldiers squatted on the ground.
The first person was Xu Sheng, Ling Cao and Zhou Tai.
The three of them all carried weapons on their backs and stared straight ahead, as if they were tigers ready to devour anyone at any time!
Although the fog was thick, they were still able to accurately determine their destination through the firelight on Xiakou Pier.
If you look carefully, these warships are actually densely packed on the entire river!
At the very back of these warships, there were more than a dozen generals standing on the deck of an extremely large warship.
Two of them were chatting and laughing in low voices, and they were Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi.
Both of them were quite excited.
A month ago, Zhu Zhi received a tip bag sent to him by Lu Yi from Jingzhou, asking him to arrange his troops and horses and be ready to capture Jiangxia at any time, and then take the opportunity to capture Xiangyang.
For this reason, this month, he had already made arrangements to sneak into various places in Jiangxia.
Not just among the common people, but also in military camps!
Huang Zu led an army of six thousand to assist Xiangyang yesterday, and they got the information yesterday.
However, they have held off until today.
In this case, once he attacked Xiakou at night and captured Jiangxia, even if Huang Zu knew about it, he would not be able to turn around and rescue him.
At the same time, they also contacted Zhang Liao in Hefei.
Zhu Zhi agreed with him that once accurate information was obtained, he, Zhu Zhi, and Cheng Pu would lead a 40,000-strong naval force to attack Xiakou at night from the river.
Zhang Liao, on the other hand, led 800 cavalry and 5,000 infantry to march towards Jiangxia by land.
Once Zhu Zhi and Cheng Pu's 40,000 naval troops captured Xiakou, the Jiangxia defenders would definitely flee overland.
At that time, they encountered Zhang Liao’s army coming from the land——
Take Jiangxia!
Everything is under control!
Seeing that the army was less than three miles away from Xiakou Pier, a panicked scream sounded from the shore: "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is coming from the river! Report to the Major General quickly!"
