The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 729 Chapter 728 Pioneer Gan Ning
"Tai Shici?" Everyone was suddenly surprised.

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "That's right, it's indeed Taishi Ci!"

Gan Ning said: "Taishi Ciyuan is in Bingzhou, guarding the northern frontier. How could he come to Jingzhou in such a short time? Even if he travels day and night without stopping, it will take half a month at the earliest? We are all brave and good at fighting." People, and it’s close to Jingzhou, why didn’t the regent choose one of us to serve as the vanguard, and why did he have to be transferred from so far away?”

"Ah!" Zhang Liao sighed heavily first, then looked at Gan Ning who looked displeased, and then said slowly, "Originally, regarding this Western Expedition, I recommended you as the vanguard to the Regent, because You are from Yizhou yourself, you are very familiar with the terrain of Yizhou, and you also have a good understanding of the customs and customs, so you are the best candidate for the pioneer. But the regent thinks that you are more than brave and not calm enough, and this time the western expedition must be taken To go to the whole of Yizhou, the regent thought again and again, and decided to transfer Tai Shici from northern Xinjiang to serve as the vanguard..."

After Gan Ning heard this, he immediately stood up, cupped his fists at Zhang Liao and said, "General, although I, Gan Xingba, is only a martial artist, since I followed the general, I have been deeply influenced by the general. Me, I am very calm in doing things now, not to mention that I am from Yizhou and I am very familiar with it. If I lead the army as the vanguard, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. I also ask the general to explain everything to the regent and not to dispatch General Tai Shici is here, and the northern border is also very important, without the guard of General Tai Shici, the barbarians might still be active... As for the vanguard, leave it to me."

"Xingba, I understand you, but the regent doesn't know you. This Western Expedition is inevitable. If something goes wrong, I can't explain it to the regent, and it will affect the morale of the entire army. unless……"

Gan Ning found a turning point in Zhang Liao's words, and hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"

Zhang Liao said: "Unless you issue a military order, I can report your determination to the regent..."

"Is it true that as long as I issue a military order, the vanguard will be mine?" Gan Ning asked.

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "That's natural."

"Okay, I'll stand. Please ask the general to draft a military order, and I'll sign it and deposit it!" Gan Ning said firmly.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao smiled, and advised: "Xingba, you must know that once this military order is issued, if you want to change it, it is not allowed!"

Gan Ning said: "Since I have decided to issue a military order, I have no intention of changing it. General, please write a military order!"

Zhang Liao smiled, picked up a pen placed on the table in front of him, and spread out a piece of paper. He was about to pick up the pen to write, but suddenly raised his head and asked: "General Huang, General Wei, Wen General, General Li, are you interested in this vanguard?"

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong were immersed in the problem of dismantling the army mentioned by Zhang Liao and couldn't extricate themselves. They were still racking their brains to think that if they really wanted to abolish the army, then they should let it go. Where did half of the subordinates go?

Zhang Liao's sudden question made them feel a little overwhelmed, and they froze there for a moment, making it impossible for the four of them to answer.

"Since the four generals didn't speak, it means that they have acquiesced, so let General Gan take the vanguard position." Zhang Liao made the final decision and directly confirmed Gan Ning.

Gan Ning was naturally very happy, and thanked Zhang Liao with cupped fists.And until then, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong realized that they were picking a vanguard.

If the four people had been apprehensive about not dismantling the army, they would have listened carefully to Zhang Liao's words, but it was too late now.

Pioneer decided on Gan Ning, and Zhang Liao also questioned them, but the four of them didn't show what they should be fighting for the right, so the Pioneer naturally fell on Gan Ning's head.

In fact, Zhang Liao did all of this on purpose. In the Jingzhou Army, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong were all proficient in bows and horses, brave and good at fighting, especially Huang Zhong, who had the magic skill of piercing Yang with a hundred steps He hits every shot, every example is true, and he is also the best candidate to be a pioneer.

Zhang Liao was worried that if Gan Ning was directly appointed as the vanguard, he was afraid that people would not accept him and would fight with him, so Zhang Liao thought about it, and finally came up with a good way to confuse Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and others with the matter of disbanding the army. Li Tong and others, and then use means to encourage Gan Ning to be a pioneer. In this way, it is equivalent to increasing Gan Ning's enthusiasm, and it can also restrain Gan Ning to a certain extent, so that Gan Ning can clearly understand himself. The shortcomings of Pioneer are hard-won.

Zhang Liao's small tricks, none of the people here can see it, it can be said that they have crossed the sea.

Afterwards, Zhang Liao wrote down the military order, Gan Ning signed it, and everything came to fruition. Zhang Liao ordered Gan Ning to return to Wuling County as soon as possible, and prepared to lead his troops to attack Yizhou.Before leaving, Zhang Liao gave Gan Ning some advice, and Gan Ning also kept it in mind.

After Gan Ning left, Zhang Liao ordered Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, Li Tong and others to gather elite troops and go to Zigui, ready to send troops at any time.

"General, how many people will we bring to attack Yizhou this time?" Huang Zhong asked cautiously.

Zhang Liao said: "5 people are enough!"

Huang Zhong continued to ask: "The matter of disbanding the army..."

"This matter is of great importance, but since the Western Expedition is also very important, it is time to employ people. I have already asked the Regent for an extension, and it will not be too late to abolish the army after the Western Expedition is completed. This time you all follow me For the expedition, each person will bring [-] troops, and the remaining troops will be under the jurisdiction of the Inspector of Jingzhou for the time being, and we will make a decision after returning from the Western Expedition." Zhang Liao said.

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, Li Tong and others all said in unison: "No!"

……

Gan Ning became the vanguard, and hurried back to Wuling with the military order he got from Zhang Liao. Two days later, Gan Ning finally came back. He immediately summoned his subordinates and revealed the news of the Western Expedition to them.

Gan Ning used to be from Linjiang, Ba County, Yizhou. When he was young, he was fond of knight-errants and made many friends. Because of his righteousness, martial arts, bow and horse skills, he was elected as the leader by everyone.

However, Gan Ning is the kind of person who hates evil and hates others. He can't bear others being bullied, so he often fights for others. Later, he was wanted by the government, and he simply became a bandit and started a life of robbery.

Because Gan Ning always liked to hang a bell around his waist, and he traveled along the river in a sailboat to commit crimes, specializing in robbing the rich and helping the poor, so he was named Jinfan Bandit by those gentry.Normally, as soon as the bell rang, everyone would mistake it for the Jinfan bandit, and all would evade it.

But as time went on, Gan Ning felt that this was not the way to go, and deviated from his original goals and ideas, so he dismissed the team and went to Yizhou Mu Liuyan alone to plead guilty.As a result, instead of arresting Gan Ning, Liu Yanfei reused Gan Ning as the governor of Shu County.

But the good times didn't last long. Less than a year after Gan Ning became an official, Liu Yan died of illness. The person who replaced Liu Yan was Liu Zhang. Those who were frightened by the news were those thieves who still carried the banner of the Jinfan thief Gan Ning. Liu Zhang sent people to encircle and suppress them, but they were either evaded or ambushed. In short, they did not escape any bad luck.

And Liu Zhang also pressed his heart of accommodating on Gan Ning, saying that Gan Ning and the Jinfan bandits secretly colluded to make money and kill him, and planned to arrest Gan Ning and kill him.

Fortunately, Gan Ning got the news in advance, so he left Yizhou alone, carrying his mother on his back, and took a boat all the way to Jingzhou, where he sought an official position.

But Liu Biao and Liu Yan didn't deal with it very much at first, and Liu Biao took Gan Ning in because he was a filial son. He wanted to reuse him, but because the Cai family was afraid that Gan Ning's gaining Liu Biao's trust would endanger Cai's family. This is why Liu Biao appointed Gan Ning to Huang Zu as a general.

Since Gan Ning escaped from Yizhou that time, he has never set foot in Yizhou again, and he misses his hometown very much. It just so happens that this expedition to the west can also fulfill Gan Ning's dream of returning home in fine clothes.

After Gan Ning returned to the barracks, he reorganized the army, and took [-] troops from his headquarters, and marched towards Yizhou in a mighty manner.
