Chapter Two Hundred and Forty Six: The Slavery Killed
Zhang Nan left soon, and he needed to deploy a rescue plan as soon as possible. Although Yu Scorpion was no longer concerned about the matter this time, and it was possible to bring some talents and generals to Yuan Xi, the most important thing for the secret spies was loyal, calm, and not to be harassed by personal feelings. She was obviously unqualified. Zhang Nan meant to wipe it out immediately after the matter was over, but Yuan Xi still had no intention of making a contribution and saved his life. From then on, he was transferred back to the headquarters to engage in civilian work and would never be sent out in the future.
After Yuan Xi and Li Ru came out of the study, they strolled in the garden.
"Marty, the black demon is getting more and more powerful. Even Diao Chan, who is far away in Xuzhou, has sent people around him." Li Ru suddenly said with some meaning.
Yuan Xi smiled slightly, "Are the military advisor worried about Zhang Nan's loyalty?"
Li Ru did not hide it, nodded slightly, and said seriously: "With the support of the Marquis' large amount of funds and Zhang Nan's terrible talent in this regard, the scale of General Zhang may be better, but the people below may not be sure. Liang plans to take some time to go to Xu Wushan, the headquarters of the Black Demon, to take a closer look."
"Okay, although there is no doubt about Zhang Nan's loyalty, he cannot fully take into account the situation when the stall is big. This time, the Jade Scorpion is a problem. After the military advisor goes there, if there is anything wrong with it, they will correct it immediately, but pay attention to keeping it confidential." Yuan Xi nodded.
"No!" Li Ru replied.
After the two of them arrived in a pavilion, Yuan Xi looked at the clear and peaceful pond in front of him and said, "Does the military advisor think this time will be successful?"
"Liang couldn't explain clearly. Everything changed too quickly, but no matter what the result was, there would be no loss to the Marquis. However, if Lu Bu failed, Yuan Shu would be defeated faster, which means that Cao Cao's strength has increased again. Cao Cao has occupied Sili, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou. If even Xuzhou is recovered, it means that the time for the outbreak of the Central Plains War is getting closer. The Marquis also needs to be mentally prepared early. The Battle of the Central Plains is the most critical battle in his life. Although it is not said that he will be the most important battle in his life, if it succeeds, he will surely achieve the foundation of the emperor." Li Ru said seriously.
Yuan Xi nodded and smiled, "Xi has been waiting. After Liaodong is completely recovered, our Youzhou army will have to rest and rest. Even if there is anything that needs to be sent, let the Eight Banners dispatch it!"
"Hao Ye Weiming"
Two days later, outside Gaoping County, Xuanyuan County, I saw a huge battle flag inserted on the top of the city with the big word "Gan" written on it. Xuanyuan County has been completely recovered by Gan Ning, and only the Su Puyan tribe is still struggling to death.
Outside the city gate, Gan Ning was riding a horse, with a group of soldiers waiting for something.
"General, with our army's strength, it is not a problem to eliminate Su Puyan. There is no need for these three flags at all." A tall general said disdainfully.
"The Marquis naturally has the Marquis' idea, so I will just obey the order. Besides, the life of a soldier is so precious. If you have no choice, don't use the life of a soldier as a bargaining chip for your achievements. Do you understand?" Gan Ning said seriously.
"I understand" the general responded with shame.
Soon after, the sound of huge horse hooves sounded, and three groups of cavalry with a large number of thousands of people were surging from three directions away. They were wearing red, yellow and white armor, and looked very majestic, especially the spear-shaped decorations on their helmets were even more eye-catching.
"This is the Eight Banners!" Gan Ning pulled the horse gently, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
"Brother Gan" at this time, a huge shout sounded, and Chen Erhu, who was tall and as angry as a lion, also appeared in front of him with a group of Han cavalry.
A hint of excitement flashed across Gan Ning's face.
After the three flags came to the front, they looked at Gan Ning who was sitting high on the horses, and immediately all got off the war horses, and all rode respectfully and knelt down: "Meet General Gan"
The scene of thousands of people kneeling down was quite amazing, which immediately surprised the generals and soldiers behind Gan Ning. The brutal Wuhuan was so honest.
The soldiers who came with Chen Erhu all looked proud and seemed to have become accustomed to it.
After "Brother Gan" Chen Erhu dismounted, he immediately rushed towards Gan Ning. Gan Ning also quickly dismounted and hugged two big men.
"Erhu, aren't you going to defend Ambassador Tian?" Gan Ning said happily.
"The three flags have been successfully formed. This time, Su Puyan was sent to send troops. Lord Tian asked me to come over and see. General Jiao was guarding him there," Chen Erhu explained with a smile.
"Haha, okay, then you and my brothers will fight side by side," Gan Ning said with a smile.
Chen Erhu nodded heavily, turned around and said to the three Wuhuan men kneeling in front: "Brother Gan, these three are the banner owners of the Zhenghuang Banner, Zhengbai Banner, and Zhenghong Banner among the Eight Banners of Wuhuan."
"Wulihan", "That Risong" "Hason"
"Meet General Gan"
The three of them shouted loudly again.
"The three flag masters don't have to be too polite, get up quickly." Gan Ning immediately walked forward and helped the three flag masters up one by one. As he looked at the kneeling personnel of the three flags, he shouted: "Everyone should get up too!"
"General Xie"
"The three banner masters, the Eight Banners are the Eight Banners, and the Wuhuan is the Wuhuan. All of your Eight Banners are the grassland nobles appointed by the Marquis. To put it bluntly, they are brothers of the Han people. Don't be too polite," Gan Ning said gently and loudly.
Wulihan, Risong, and Hasen suddenly showed excitement in their eyes. Wulihan, the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner, said quickly: "Thank you for your attention to the Eight Banners, please rest assured. The soldiers of the Eight Banners are all willing to be loyal to the Marquis and die in the battlefield."
"Haha, okay, the three banner masters also know that our army has just recovered Liaodong. The soldiers are indeed a little tired after fighting with more than 100,000 people. This time, the soldiers will be handed over to the warriors of the three banners. You can rest assured that all military merits and rewards will be reported to the Marquis as they are." Gan Ning said.
"General Xie, Su Puyan did not know how to live or die, but he dared to disobey the order of the marquis. His head and his family, Hasen, must have led the Zhengbai Banner to kill them all, and offered them to the marquis." Hasen, who had the most courageous aura, said loudly.
Gan Ning was stunned, and the generals in western Liaoning couldn't help but smash their tongues.
"Haha, okay, the city has prepared fine wine. Let's drink it first, and then Gan Hui will issue an order in person." Gan Ning said with satisfaction.
"General Xie"
"Dear brothers from the Three Banners, someone will deliver food to you later. Only when you have enough food can you have the strength to fight," Gan Ning said loudly.
The three banner personnel of the "General Xie" knelt on the ground again.
"Haha" Gan Ning laughed and led the three flag owners to the city.
.....
After a banquet, it was already evening. Gan Ning washed away the smell of alcohol and took Chen Erhu to a side courtyard. He saw several generals waiting here.
"Meet the General"
"No need to be polite. I asked you how the soldiers of the Three Banners are like?" Gan Ning immediately asked seriously. Although the people of the Three Banners and even the banner owner were extremely respectful to him, he was still a little worried about these foreign tribes, so he took advantage of the time of delivering food to ask someone to check it carefully.
"General, it's so incredible. What the people of the Wuhuan Eight Banners are so respectful to me, Han people. When an ordinary soldier goes, they all have to bend down to salute, just like," a general hesitated.
"Slave, right?" Chen Erhu smiled and said it for him.
"Yes, it's just a slave, who is completely respectful, which makes many soldiers unaccustomed, and of course they are more proud," the general nodded.
"Erhu, how did you make Wuhuan so obedient?" Gan Ning said curiously.
Chen Erhu shook his head and said, "Brother Gan, you didn't go to the grassland to see. In order to successfully form the Eight Banners, the corpse pits of hundreds of people on the grassland are everywhere. Wuhuan made a little mistake and killed the whole family immediately. They were afraid of being completely killed. Only the Eight Banners people can have their lives and will have various superior treatments. Lord Tian said that after such a long killing, Wuhuan's wildness has gradually been eliminated and emerged as slavery. Now in their hearts, the Han people are the masters. They will never dare to have any complaints for their masters."
Hearing this, several generals took a breath.
"The Wuhuan people now have two ways out. One is to join the Eight Banners, and their descendants are not worried since then. The other is to be lucky enough to marry us Han people. Because if we marry Han people, their status will be improved instantly, especially if we marry soldiers, we will immediately leave our slaves. However, generals should be careful, try not to be a wife in the Wuhuan people as a wife, at most a concubine, otherwise the future will be affected. It is said that this is what guarantees the noble nature of our Han bloodline," Cheng Erhu said a little confused.
"It seems that the Wuhuan is completely over. Now it is the era of the Eight Banners," a general said with a smile, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"You are wrong. It is not the era of the Eight Banners, but the era of the Marquis, and the era of my Han people. The Marquis is supreme," Gan Ning corrected.
"The last general is wrong, the marquis is supreme." The general quickly corrected his way.
"There is only Su Puyan now. I, Gaoping, will send two thousand troops tomorrow. Remember, within three days, I would rather see Su Puyan's head. It's one day late. Please be careful." Gan Ning became serious.
"No!" the generals immediately responded with murderous intent.
