Outside Lujiang City, the soldiers were like a forest, and their murderous intent was soaring into the sky.
The sky seemed to be on fire, and the vicious fighting spirit flowed on the bronze back of the Jinfan army, adding an indescribable ferocity to the solemnity of this army.
The neat military formation, high fighting spirit, sharp weapons, and the military formation of tens of thousands of people gave people a great impact.
Gan Ning sat astride the front of the military formation, looking at the open gate of Lujiang City, and the surging blood in his heart seemed to burst out.
"Military strategist, we managed to gain Lujiang City so effortlessly, and it was not in vain that we fought so hard these days."
Gan Ning turned around and said to Guo Jia, who was dressed in white.
Guo Jia shook his head incomprehensibly, and after thinking for a moment, he finally said: "Xingba, in my opinion, this Lujiang land is probably not the place where we will have a decisive battle."
When Gan Ning heard Guo Jia's words, the murderous intention in his body immediately dissipated, but then he still didn't believe it: "The military advisor is joking, this Lujiang River is the front line to the east of the Yangtze River, guarding the Yangtze River.
If our army takes this city, it can be worth at least 50,000 men."
Elite soldiers."
"One city and one place have long been beyond the eyes of the lord."
Guo Jia smiled and did not explain too much.
Gan Ning knew that Guo Jia's words were sure to hit the target, but when he heard that Guo Jia was so mysterious, he felt even more worried.
However, when he thought that Lujiang City was the only great achievement his subordinate Jin Fanerlang had gained from Yu Yu's bloody battle, he really didn't want to believe Guo Jia's prediction.
Originally on the Lujiang battlefield, Gan Ning and Wenpin had been passively being beaten.
Firstly, there were few soldiers, and secondly, the war was prolonged and morale was not high.
Thirdly, even though Guo Jia had a plan, it would be a bit difficult for him to deal with the think tanks under Cao Cao and Sun Ce by himself.
But the sudden changes in the situation in Lujiang City gave Gan Ning the hope of establishing a career in Lujiang.
On the Lujiang battlefield, Wenpin received orders to guard against Cao Cao when he arrived, while Gan Ning was always at odds with Sun Ce.
During the alliance between Ma and Cao, civil unrest and riots occurred frequently in Lujiang City.
Seeing that Sun Ce had gone on a killing spree, Zhou Yu proposed to let Sun Ce camp outside the city in order to fear that Sun Ce would completely lose the support of the people of Lujiang.
Then Cao Cao launched a large-scale attack on the Civil Service Department, and the situation suddenly changed.
The wealthy noble families in Lujiang City were already hostile to Sun Ce.
Later, when they heard that Sun Quan was eradicating dissidents throughout Jiangdong, they were all frightened, fearing that the Sun family would settle the score in the future.
Yesterday, a hundred men from Gan Ning broke into Sun Ce's camp, showing off the majestic power of the Ma Jiajun.
Seeing this, the wealthy gentry in Lujiang simply refused to do anything, and directly cooperated internally and externally to seize Lujiang City and surrender to Gan Ning.
Sun Ce was so angry that he gritted his teeth and immediately wanted to attack Lujiang.
However, Gan Ning was not a vegetarian and formed a formation to secretly protect Lujiang City.
Sun Ce was afraid that he would be attacked from both sides, so he led his troops back thirty miles to set up camp again.
Obtaining Lujiang in this way is almost like having pie in the sky.
Gan Ning originally wanted to go to Lujiang to recharge his batteries and then attack Sun Ce fiercely.
However, when he heard Guo Jia's negative remarks when he entered the city, he was really unwilling.
What's annoying is that just when Gan Ning was still half-convinced and the horse's hooves had not yet stepped into Lujiang City, an order came from behind him like flying, shouting: "General, my lord has faith!"
After unfolding the letter, Gan Ning was confused.
There were only two big words written on the white Fufeng paper: tasteless.
"Military advisor, what does this mean?"
Gan Ning thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what Ma Chao meant, so he asked Guo Jia for advice out of habit.
"It's tasteless.
It's a pity to throw it away.
It's better to leave early.
Isn't this a very simple truth?"
Guo Jia glanced at it and immediately replied.
"The Lord really wants us to give up Lujiang City."
The expression on Gan Ning's face suddenly became very exciting.
He was angry and confused at the same time: "Even if we give up Lujiang City, where should we go back?"

"Chicken ribs are originally saved from the body of a chicken.
The general is the commander-in-chief of the Ma family's navy.
Naturally, he will go back to where he came from."
"Go back to Xiangyang" Gan Ning's face suddenly turned red, and he almost roared: "If you can't go back to Jiangxia, do you have to go back to Xiangyang?"
Facing Gan Ning who was as angry as a tiger, Guo Jia remained calm and calm: "General Gan, it's better to hold back your anger.
When we get to Xiangyang, the Lord will really need your anger."
For the next six days, Gan Ning's journey back to the army could be said to be humiliating.
Sun Ce was a military genius, and Zhou Yu was even better at seizing every opportunity.
Along the way, Jiangdong's army was constantly pursuing, ambushing, intercepting, alienating, and making false reports.
If it weren't for Gan Ning's loyalty to Ma Chao and Guo Jia, who was watching every move, how could Gan Ning's army be so good?
The more than 30,000 people who could easily gather together would probably be devoured from tail to head by Sun Ce's lion.
But even so, the sight of the army retreating all the way made Gan Ning furious.
Not to mention the miserable situation of the more than 30,000-strong army returning to less than 20,000 Jin-sailed navy, but the sad eyes of the people looking at Gan Ning's banner along the way made Gan Ning unbearable several times.
He remembered how eager the people were when they sent out troops, but now he could only run back to Xiangyang like a lost dog with his tail between his legs.
This change was really unacceptable to the arrogant Gan Ning.
When they were finally approaching Xiangyang, Gan Ning saw Wenpin's banner and saw the same humiliating anger on Wenpin's face.
Gan Ning rushed forward and took Wenpin's hand directly: "Zhongye, come with me to ask the lord for an explanation."
"Go" Wenpin didn't hesitate, he just went.
But after arriving at the Sheriff's Mansion, the two suddenly discovered that Ma Chao was not there, and that one hundred thousand Ma's troops had also disappeared without a trace.
Only Tai Shici, who was holding a bow on his back, was waiting aside.
It seemed that he was mentally prepared for the angry reactions of the two men.
"Ziyi, where is my lord?"
Gan Ning walked into the hall without even saying hello, he just said this.
"I was scared away by you."
Tai Shici said.
He was not a person who liked to joke.
But precisely because of this, his words made Gan Ning Wenpin think it was true, and he froze in place.
It took Wenpin a while to react.
He was so angry that he didn't know how to vent his anger.
In the end, he could only smile bitterly and said to Taishi Ci: "Ziyi, what time has it been?
Please stop making sarcastic remarks."
"It's true, my lord said so himself.
He was afraid that you two would cut him into pieces when you came back, so he took the Guards back to Chang'an."
Taishi Ci still looked serious, but when he saw the two After really doubting the letter, Youyou took out a letter and said, "However, before leaving, the Lord left this letter for the three of us.
He also told me that I must wait for you two to return before I can open it. " Gan Ning was impatient and snatched it away.
After he opened it and read it, he was dumbfounded again: chicken heart "Lord, do you eat chicken every day these days?"
Gan Ning scratched his head and asked Tai Shi Ci, dumbfounded.
Taishi Ci was dumbfounded now, shook his head and said, "No."
"If Jingzhou is a chicken, Xiangyang is naturally a chicken's heart.
The heart is where the lifeblood is.
My Lord, I just want to tell you that now that you have returned to Xiangyang, you must protect the lifeblood of Jingzhou."
Guo Jia leisurely walked outside the door. , looked at the three of them, and said word by word: "This Xiangyang is the place where the lord will leave you with the final battle."
"What the military advisor means?"
Gan Ning's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood.
"That's right.

From now on, you don't have to worry about anything anymore.
As long as you can defend Xiangyang, you can fight in any way.
If the three of you are really angry this time, then use this energy to flatten the Sun-Cao coalition and show it to your lord."
"Dare you disobey me?"
The three men immediately bowed and clasped their fists, and a heroic spirit immediately filled the entire county guard hall.
Then the three people left to prepare the army, apparently pledging their loyalty to their subordinates.
But this time, outside Xiangyang City, the two armies of Sun and Cao were already spread out across the sky like mountains and seas.
With a main battle force of 170,000, plus various transport personnel, logistics workers, etc., the number has already exceeded 300,000.
The frontline army has set up camp outside Xiangyang City, and follow-up soldiers are still pouring in from the distant horizon.
Guo Jia, who was on the city wall, looked at this scene and felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders for the first time in his life.
"My lord, you really think highly of me, Guo Fengxiao."
Guo Jiayou sighed.
At this time, his eyes had crossed the horizon and saw the steel lion that was no less powerful than the Cao-Sun coalition, lying quietly in Nanyang.
He came down and said: "My lord, Jingzhou is rarely affected by war.
This time, do you want Jingzhou to experience the cruelty of war all at once?"
"But" Guo Jia walked down the city wall and smiled at the sunset on the horizon: "It is worth exchanging an unforgettable pain for at least a century-old foundation
