Gan Ning and Jiang Qin led more than a hundred soldiers to gather soldiers along the road, and the number gradually increased.
At first, there were only about a hundred people following Gan Ning, but by the end, nearly two thousand people had gathered.
A group of people were in rags and were very miserable.
Halfway through, Gan Ning had someone send the news of the defeat back to Jiangxia, and also informed Wang Can of the detailed process.
This was also a method agreed upon by Gan Ning and Jiang Qin, to give Wang Can a buffer time first.
On the way back, Jiang Qin seemed uneasy again.
At first, when Jiang Qin persuaded Gan Ning, he appeared to be very rational and knowledgeable about righteousness.
But when it was his turn, it was difficult to calm down.
Jiang Qin followed Gan Ning and said in a low voice: "Old Gan, we have lost nearly 80% of our navy this time and more than 30,000 soldiers.
How do you think the Lord will punish us two?"
Gan Ning was ready to go back and be punished.
He looked like he didn't care and said casually: "Gong Yi, the matter has come to an end.
Is there anything else to consider?
Anyway, you are going back to plead guilty.
Whatever the Lord decides, you will do it.
You I’ve thought too much, but I can’t guess what my lord is thinking.
Let’s hurry up and return to Jiangxia as soon as possible.”
At this time, Gan Ning was more open-minded than Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin looked helpless, shook his head and followed Gan Ning, continuing on his way.
Jiangxia, inside the city.
In the hall of the Prefect's Mansion, Wang Can sat on the main seat with a solemn expression.
Below, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and Zhou Tai looked serious, and the atmosphere seemed heavy.
Everyone knew about the defeat of Jiangdong Navy, and everyone was silent.
All this happened too suddenly.
Finally, Jia Xu said softly: "My lord, the defeat of this battle was not due to the two generals Gan Ning and Jiang Qin, but to the unpredictable weather.
This was a fault of nature, and the two generals were not at fault."
Xu Shu continued: "The soldiers have suffered such heavy losses.
If we don't punish them, it will definitely not work."
Jia Xu nodded helplessly, unable to refute.
Tens of thousands of living lives were suddenly killed, and no one dared to ignore it easily.
Zhou Tai was the second-ranked general in the navy and the deputy governor of the navy.
Apart from Gan Ning, Zhou Tai was the largest.
He is also a navy general, but he is not among them because he protects Jia Xu.
It is not easy to intervene now.
Wang Can looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, what do you have in mind?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord has his own opinion on how to punish him.
There is no need for Jia to talk too much."
Wang Can rolled his eyes at Guo Jia, waved his hand and said, "It seems you can't give a suitable answer.
Go down and I'll think about it myself.
When Gan Ning and Jiang Qin come back, let them see me immediately."
"promise" Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Guo Jia and Zhou Tai replied and left quietly.
Wang Can sat alone in the hall, lost in thought.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Gan Ning and Jiang Qin did not have any fault, and the wind direction did not change.
It was Wu's warship that was burned, and it could not be Gan Ning's self-imposed cocoon.
However, even if Gan Ning was not to blame, more than 30,000 people died.

This was a mistake made by Gan Ning's leadership, and Gan Ning could not shirk his responsibility.
So, this is where Wang Can has a hard time making a choice.
Dealing with Gan Ning would be unfair to both Gan Ning and Jiang Qin; not dealing with Gan Ning would make it difficult to convince the public.
After all, tens of thousands of soldiers died, which is not a small number.
"well" Wang Can sighed, stood up and walked to the door of the hall, looking at the blue sky and thinking constantly.
After standing for more than half an hour, Wang Can breathed a sigh of relief.
The tense expression on his face also relaxed.
The expression on Wang Can's face turned cloudy and he smiled, but the sunny weather suddenly turned gloomy, dark clouds gathered, and it started pouring rain.
"Tick-tick-tick" The rain kept falling and formed a straight line.
Wang Can looked at the splashing ground in the yard, sighed softly, and turned back to the backyard.
An hour later, Dian Wei hurried in and reported: "My lord, Lao Gan and Jiang Qin are back."
Wang Can raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is he?"
Dian Wei replied: "We are waiting outside the mansion, and the situation looks very miserable."
"pass" After Wang Can finished speaking, he went straight out of the backyard and walked towards the hall.
When Wang Can walked into the hall, Gan Ning and Jiang Qin were already kneeling in the hall, waiting for Wang Can to come in.
After Wang Can took his seat, Gan Ning and Jiang Qin paid their respects: "The criminal generals Gan Ning and Jiang Qin pay their respects to the lord."
The two of them came in in the rain and were still covered in rainwater.
A pool of water has also formed on the ground.
Wang Can asked: "I already know about you and the cause of the whole thing.
Do you have anything to say when you two return to Jiangxia?"
Wang Can's eyes fell on Gan Ning and motioned for Gan Ning to speak first.
Gan Ning kowtowed to the ground and said in a deep voice: "My lord, this time the navy lost more than 80% and the soldiers lost more than 30,000.
Everything is the fault of the guilty general.
Please punish me, lord."
Wang Can frowned and said: "Besides that, there is nothing else?"
Gan Ning raised his head and said in a deep voice: "The general's crime cannot be forgiven.
Whether he wants to be killed or beheaded, it is all at the discretion of the lord."
After saying this, he kowtowed to the ground again and stopped talking.
Wang Can looked at Jiang Qin and asked, "Gongyi, do you have anything to say?"
Jiang Qin said politely: "My lord, the crime is the same as that of Governor Gan.
Please punish me."
Wang Can took a deep breath, waved his hands and said: "Gan Ning, go out and kneel, and reflect and reflect.
As for Jiang Qin, you and Gan Ning wear a pair of underwear, and go out and kneel down.
Whenever you have something to say to me, come in again."
"Wang Can flicked his sleeves and asked the two of them to go out and kneel, while Wang Can sat in the hall.
Outside the hall, it was still raining.
The two of them knelt outside the hall, straightening their backs and motionless.
Raindrops fell on the two of them, making them even more embarrassed.
Fortunately, it is hot summer and the rain is not cold.
It would be unbearable to kneel in the rain in winter.
Time passed, and an hour passed by in a blink of an eye.
Wang Can was motionless in the hall, and Gan Ning and Jiang Qin outside the hall were also motionless, still soaked in the rain.
At this time, Jia Xu came wearing a raincoat.
Jia Xu first went to the hall to pay homage to Wang Can and asked, "My lord, it's still raining in the sky.
The two generals have been kneeling outside.

I'm afraid it's not good for their health.
Besides, this kind of punishment won't help."
Wang Can said: "Wen He, this is not a punishment for them, it's just that they haven't figured out the key to the problem yet."
"Oh, why is that" Jia Xu looked at Wang Can curiously, with a strange expression on his face.
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "They are all here to plead guilty."
After finishing speaking, Wang Can stopped talking.
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Wang Can again, carefully considering Wang Can's words.
Finally, Jia Xu smiled, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I resign from my humble position."
Wang Can did not stop him and let Jia Xu leave.
When Jia Xu passed by Gan Ning and Jiang Qin, he whispered four words: "Dear guilt and meritorious service."
He walked and talked without any pause.
As soon as the words fell, Jia Xu had disappeared from the sight of Gan Ning and Jiang Qin.
After hearing Jia Xu's words, Gan Ning perked up, his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Qin thought about it carefully, but there was some confusion on his face.
At this time, Gan Ning was heard shouting: "Lord, the guilty will be punished."
Regardless of anything else, Jiang Qin also shouted: "Lord, the guilty will have his say."
Anyway, Jia Xu has already made a move, whether it works or not, let's try it first.
"Come in" Wang Can's voice came from the hall.
Gan Ning and Jiang Qin walked towards the hall with water stains all over their bodies.
After the two entered the hall, they bowed respectfully to Wang Can and then waited for Wang Can to speak. s: The third update is completed.
Happy New Year everyone:
