Early the next morning, the Han army temporarily retreated.

Both Ji Shu and Gan Ning returned to Jiangxia City with nearly 5,000 troops each. They exchanged information with each other and couldn't help but sigh.

In the Jiangxia night battle, the Han army, including Su Fei's troops, invested a total of more than 27,000 troops, while Taishi Ci only had 15,000 troops. Facing an enemy with nearly twice the total strength, Taishi Ci boldly sent 10,000 troops

7,000 Han troops were put into the city, and Xu Sheng used himself as bait to set up an ambush of 5,000 men and finally defeated the Han army. After counting the casualties, Jiangdong Army lost more than 4,000 people, but the Han army left 7

More than a thousand corpses and more than 3,000 prisoners.

With a small number of enemies, but a great victory, this battle can be said to be the most brilliant victory of the Jiangdong Army since the beginning of the war.

······

The prison in Jiangxia is now overcrowded, and it has become a place where only some important prisoners are detained.

There are only a few vents the size of a human head in the dark cell. The sunlight shines through the small openings, making people feel slightly warm.

Jingle bell, jingle bell!

"Xingba, you're here."

Su Fei raised his head and saw Gan Ning's figure already outside the door.

"Open the cell door."

Without saying anything, the prison boss quickly unlocked the lock on the cell door, and Gan Ning walked in.

"You lied to me!"

Gan Ning was a little angry.

He was deceived by his own brother!

If Jiangxia was really lost because of Su Fei's false surrender, the Jiangdong army that conquered Jiangxia would probably be doomed. How could he not be angry?

"sorry······"

Su Fei lowered his head in shame, not daring to look Gan Ning in the eyes.

"Why?"

Gan Ning rushed to Su Fei's side and asked through gritted teeth.

Su Fei was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that due to Gan Ning's impatient temper, he would come over, grab his collar and beat him up before asking this question.

"Your attack on Jiangxia has been guessed by a man named Zhuge Liang. Even if you come to persuade me to surrender, my wife and children have been kidnapped by Huang Zu's people."

Gan Ning raised his forehead with one hand, closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"This guy named 'Zhuge Liang' is really not that simple. This time we almost capsized in the gutter."

Continuing to hold his forehead with his hands, Gan Ning turned his head slightly and glared at Su Fei.

"Tai Shici sent people to surround your home. I heard that your 'guards' disappeared last night. Your family is okay. I don't know about the others, but Ji Shu will never take action against the old, weak, women and children.

Just feel at ease."

Su Fei breathed a long sigh of relief, and all his uneasiness finally disappeared.

For a moment, the two of them didn't know what to say, so they just sat side by side on the haystack, leaning against the cell wall.

Su Fei looked at Gan Ning. He still liked to wear gorgeous clothes. This was Gan Ning's quirk, and he remained the same even on the battlefield. As for himself, he was dressed in white with a big word "prison" on it.

A gorgeous uniform, a prison uniform, a general, and a prisoner. Su Fei couldn't help but smile.

"Xingba, do you still remember the first time we met?"

Gan Ning tilted his head and looked at Su Fei, wondering why he suddenly talked about this. Su Fei didn't seem to really intend to ask Gan Ning to answer, so he said to himself.

"At that time, you just came to join the Grand Administrator and were granted the title of commander. Although you were only in charge of the 500 brothers under your command, there were still many commanders who were dissatisfied. Why can you, a water thief, be on equal footing with them?"

"You said, rely on strength! You invited three commanders who were trying to trick you to go to the school field and beat them to a pulp with just one hand in front of everyone."

"Haha! Several other commanders and I also went to watch the excitement. I knew at that time that this was something extraordinary, and you would definitely become famous in the future!"

Seeing Gan Ning humming with pride, Su Fei continued.

"But originally I didn't want to have anything to do with you. You are too sharp and easily offend others. You know why you have been in Jiangxia for 2 years. From the beginning to the end, your commander only has 500 brothers under your command.

Hasn’t it been replenished to 1,000 people?”

Gan Ning was stunned. He originally thought it was because Huang Zu didn't appreciate him. Could there be other reasons?

"Say it quickly!"

Su Fei chuckled.

"It was because of that fight that you established your authority! You gained authority in front of the army, but the reputation of those three commanders was ruined. One of them was a confidant of the eldest son Huang She. The eldest son originally planned to be the leader himself.

After marrying Jiangxia’s general, you promoted him to be the commander-in-chief, but wouldn’t you have slapped the eldest son in the face by doing this?”

"It stands to reason that if you have this ability, the eldest son should accept you as his confidant. But you are a water thief, and the eldest son has good literary talent. He has some reputation among the scholars, so he naturally cherishes feathers."

Gan Ning was furious, pointed at Su Fei and pretended to be angry.

"Well, Su Fei, you know this but you never told me!"

Su Fei glared at him angrily.

"What's the use of telling you? Can you come and apologize to the eldest son, or can you go to the literary world and make a good name?"

Gan Ning was immediately speechless.

Seeing Gan Ning's deflated look, Su Fei smiled again and said.

"You also know the abilities of the commanders and commanders of the Jiangxia Army. With my ability, I am more than enough to be the commander! My wife has asked me to give gifts to the eldest son, but I can't do it. Looking at you, I feel like

I care about myself, and sometimes I can't help but help you a little, but I didn't expect to become a good friend with you after a few visits. We are both stupid, and we won't compromise because of the world's rules. It's like we have the same chemistry!"

Gan Ning suddenly stretched out his hand to interrupt Su Fei's words.

"Huh? Wait! Then how did you become the commander-in-chief after I left?"

Su Fei was choked by Gan Ning, his old face turned red, he looked around before speaking quickly in a low voice.

"Oh, in the end, I couldn't stand my mother-in-law anymore, so she cried, made trouble, and hung herself! You don't know, when I went to the young master's place to give gifts, I was shaking when I spoke. I only knew where to put the gifts. I didn't even know.

How did I get out? On the third day, I became the commander-in-chief!"

"Damn it, I finally understand why others like to give gifts. My three years of service are not worth the eldest son's three words in front of Governor Huang!"

Seeing Su Fei's angry expression, Gan Ning didn't know whether to despise him or laugh at him.

"I asked you to come with me to conquer the world, but you didn't listen and insisted on staying in this stupid place. Who's to blame?"

Speaking of this, Su Fei said with emotion when he thought that he had finally given out the gifts and became the commander-in-chief during the war between heaven and man, while Gan Ning was already a general.

"I know you have lofty dreams. Who doesn't want to be a general or an admiral? I want it too."

"When you asked me to go out into the world together, I was actually moved, but in the end I chose reality."

"You are successful now, but not everyone who pursues their dreams can succeed. I have a wife and children, and they need to eat!"

Gan Ning was a little silent. He was not qualified to comment on whether Su Fei was stupid or not. He thought that if Qingyu had married him or even had a child, he would still gamble for an illusory dream and let Qingyu and

Is the child hungry? He didn't dare to think about it.

"Su Fei, are you willing to surrender to Jiangdong sincerely?"

Gan Ning's words made Su Fei a little confused. Is there any way for him to survive?

A man in the hostile camp defected to Jiangdong before the battle, but at a critical moment he stepped back and helped the Han army enter the city. Can the Jiangdong army still tolerate him?

Gan Ning stared into Su Fei's eyes and said.

"No one is coercing your wife and children this time, and you don't have to worry about the future. I can assure you that Sun Ce is a wise king. This time I invite you to explore the world together. I just ask you, will you come?"

Su Fei understood that Gan Ning wanted to protect him. Let’s not talk about whether Gan Ning could save his life, but he took advantage of Gan Ning in order to save his family!

Can I still be his brother?

"Come! Why don't you come?"

Su Fei covered his face with his hands and turned his head away, and answered decisively with some choking.

Gan Ning stood up with his head held high, not that he had anything to be proud of, but he felt that his whole body had become lighter, and he grinned.

"Okay! Wait for my good news!"

The figure strode out and the cell door was locked again.
Chapter completed!
