Chapter Twenty-Seven: Plans to Earn Gaoshun
Wang Gang had no choice but to find a war horse, and the group moved forward again.
Finally, before dark, I entered Jinyang County.
Walking on the bluestone pavement, looking at the high fluttering shop signboard flags on both sides, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, the tea houses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops on both sides of the street.
In just half a year, there has been a morbid prosperity in Jinyang County. I didn't know and thought I was in Luoyang City.
Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, wealthy merchants from the surrounding counties poured in, which also caused prices to soar and attracted more caravans.
It also brought a lot of problems to the security of Jinyang County, and the invisible forces stirred up gusts of rain in the dark.
Wang Gang was about to go to the city lord's mansion to report on his work, while Zhang Qian took the rest of the people to Wang's house.
Wang Gang walked into the City Lord's Mansion and walked into the hall under the leadership of the guards.
There were Gao Shun and Lu Bu standing beside Ding Yuan, and it seemed that Lu Bu had also come to report on his work.
"Wang Gang has seen the envoy," Wang Gang saluted respectfully.
"Ziyi is here" Ding Yuan stepped forward and helped Wang Gang.
"Yanmen County is well governed, I can't imagine that Ziyi is not only good at fighting on the battlefield, but also has a lot of experience in governing places" Ding Yuan praised him.
"If the king has a good reputation, it is all the soldiers who use their lives and the officials who work hard. "The king has taught him well," said the king, who straightened up.
Hahaha, Ding Yuan laughed a few times, Wang Gang, this kid is very good at talking.
"You, you, and Zhou Erlang should be open, it is your merits and the official will not treat you badly."
"Then I thanked the envoy for the 300,000 people of Yanmen County, but I don't know if the envoy can allocate some grain and grass." Wang just climbed up the pole.
Ding Yuan was also stunned when he heard Wang Gang's words, this kid is really welcome, but the words have already been spoken.
"Grain and grass are in short supply throughout the state, and I am also powerless. But since I promised you, you can go to Zhang Taishou to allocate some later. After Ding Yuan finished speaking, he took Wang Gang into the inner hall.
The next person sent some tea, Wang Gang and Ding Yuan knelt down and sat down, Wang Gang reported the affairs of Yanmen in the past year, and also focused on the matter of Hutu.
Ding Yuan thought for a while and said, "When is Ziyi going to send troops?" ”
"After the spring ploughing, we will send troops to settle down." Wang Gang said. This is a matter of negotiation with Zhang Qian, he is the Taishou of Yanmen County, and he has to report to the assassin Shi when he goes out to go out.
"Hugh Tu cavalry is skilled in arching and horses, and it is not so easy to deal with."
"My subordinates know, so I want to ask the envoy to transfer thousands of cavalry, and General Lu will assist from the side."
Ding Yuan almost jumped up when he heard Wang Gang's words. Thousands of cavalry, not in the entire annexed state, but also to defend various places.
"Wang Taishou, if this official has thousands of cavalry, why bother every soldier in Yanmen County. What's more, the grain and grass of thousands of cavalry, even the officials don't have it."
"The last general can provide food and grass"
"That's not either," Ding Yuan's tone was a little unkind.
"One thousand cavalry" Wang Gang carefully stretched out a finger.
"No, Shangdang County Shou Zhang Yang has a thousand cavalry under him, you go to him to borrow it," Ding Yuan said angrily.
"Five...."Before Wang Gang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ding Yuan.
"Not a single one" Ding Yuan glanced at Wang Gang, and his heart softened again.
"It's not that the official is stingy, it's really not, now there are only 200 cavalry in the entire Jinyang County City, and if you want to exterminate the surrounding mountain bandits, you are simply powerless."
"It's the last general Meng Lang. Don't blame. After speaking, he bowed and continued.
"There are still a hundred war horses in Yanmen County, and they will be sent when they go back."
"I'm afraid this is not good" Ding Yuan was a little moved, but also a little embarrassed.
"If Ziyi has other requests, just mention it, as long as it is not a cavalry, the general can agree to you."
"Envoy, the last general is not good at training, I heard that Gao Du Wei is well trained, can you let Gao Du Captain accompany me to Yanmen." Wang Gang cautiously stated his purpose.
He went around such a big circle just to trick Gao Shun into going to Yanmen Pass.
"Captain Gao Du still has to command the camp." Ding Yuan also felt that something was wrong there, and instinctively wanted to refuse.
"Envoy, I still have some black beans there, the war horses have been sent to Jinyang, and the black beans are useless." Wang Gang temptation.
"Okay, this official is not that kind of person, this official just wants Gao Duwei to go down to experience and experience," Ding Yuan said.
"Yes, yes, it is our honor to make Jun sympathetic to his subordinates" Wang Gang patted his chest.
The two walked out of the room and looked at Gao Shun and Lu Bu standing at the door.
Wang Gang greeted him warmly, and now that the business is done, there is not much psychological burden.
"Lu Taishou hasn't seen him for a few months, and his prestige is far away," Wang Gang complimented Lu Bu.
"Wang Taishou also heard about it" Lu Bu was very happy, he finally found his strength, it was too boring to govern the place.
"The name of General Fei is already known to everyone in the entire state," Wang Gang said exaggeratedly.
Although what Wang Gang said was very exaggerated, Lu Bu was very happy.
"Wang Taishou said that if Hugh slaughtered people and attacked Yanmen County, I, Lu Bu, would not sit idly by." Lu Bu's chest thumped.
Gao Shun on the side looked at it and shook his head, this Lu Bu was sold by Wang Gang in two sentences, what he didn't know was that he was sold in just two sentences.
Wang Gang looked at Gao Shun next to him and showed a warm smile, and Gao Shun felt a bad premonition.
"Captain Gaodu, don't come unharmed," Wang Gang asked with a smile.
"King Lao is too worried, he will be fine" Gao Shun looked vigilant.
"Taiyuan is a frontier land, and foreign races outside the border often knock on the customs. I heard that Captain Gao Du is good at training, and he hopes to give advice. After Wang Gang finished speaking, he made a gesture towards Gao Shun with a sincere attitude.
"The king can't keep it, but if he is sent, he will definitely act according to orders" Gao Shun hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Gang.
"Gao Shun, since Ziyi sincerely invited, you will go to Yanmen and return to Jinyang after the war will rest for a while next year."
"Yes, Lord Thorn," Gao Shun said. Although he was a little confused, he never asked much about military orders.
Wang Gang walked out of the mansion, turned around and showed a weird smile, Gao Shun can trick him into Yanmen, so don't think about coming back.
The Wang family is in the southwest of Jinyang City, where most of the wealthy families are located.
As soon as Wang walked to the door of Wang's house, someone had already greeted him again, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed as a scribe.
"Villain, Wang Xiu has seen Wang Taishou." The middle-aged scribe saluted Wang Gang.
"Your own family doesn't have to be formal," Wang Gang said.
"Wang Taishou, please come in, the head of the family has been waiting for a long time."
Wang Gang walked into the hall and watched a group of people sitting in the hall, there were a few people brought by Wang Gang, as well as several juniors of the Wang family, Jia Xu was also among them, but there was one more person next to the head of the family.
This person was about forty years old, wearing a plain suit, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his deep eyes were as deep as the sea, looking at Wang Gang who walked in.
Wang Gang guessed that this was probably the one who was an official in the capital, Zhang Qian's wife and brother.
Just as Wang Gang was still thinking about how to speak, the old master spoke.
"Wang Taishou came to make the humble house shine" The old family owner is over 60 years old. His beard is a little gray, but his eyes are very bright.
