Wang Gang saw that the sky had all darkened, and turned to everyone and commanded.

"Count the casualties and settle the people" and then took Jia Xu into the county government.

The population of Dingxiang County has more than 30,000, of which less than 10,000 are Han Chinese, and most of the rest are Hutu people, as well as some Huns. The people of the city were not affected by this fight, and every family hid in their houses behind closed doors, carefully waiting for the darkness to fade and the dawn to come.

On the second day, Dingxiang County Ya.

Wang Gang waited for everyone to arrive and spoke.

"This time you can recover Dingxiang County, you have made a lot of contributions, and I will report to the court and present it to you."

After speaking, he looked at the excited few people below, especially Gao Shun's eyes were much brighter than before.

"Wen Yuan, how are the casualty statistics?" Wang Gang turned to Zhang Liao and asked.

"General, our army suffered heavy casualties, including 800 casualties among archers, 1,000 pikemen, 700 casualties among sword and shield soldiers, 200 casualties among the defenders of Yanmen, and 5 casualties in the camp" Zhang Liao's eyes were a little red, although he took Dingxiang County. But the casualties of Yanmen County's troops were too great.

"Then how many more soldiers do we have to fight" Although Wang Gang was mentally prepared, such casualties still made him feel painful.

"There are still 1,800 elite archers, 300 sword and shield soldiers, and 2,000 defenders in the county town of Mayi. There are still two hundred and eighty trapped troops under the command of Gao Duwei," Zhang Liao said the remaining troops.

Wang Gang looked at Jia Xu next to him and asked.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"The Golden Ring forces of the Hugh Slaughter people have been destroyed by us, and the other forces dare not come. It is better to accept it when it is good, lead the army back to Yanmen County, and report the battle to the state and the military department. Wait for the above arrangement," Jia Xu said after thinking for a while.

"General, now that there are not many troops in Yunzhong, why not take advantage of the victory to pursue and take the whole county in Yunzhong," Gao Shun said.

"The time has not come," Jia Xu said as he looked at Gao Shun.

"Then, according to what Mr. said, we will withdraw to Yanmen Pass tomorrow," Wang Gang said.

Others bowed down to receive orders.

Zhang Liao asked again.

"General, who will stay in Dingxiang and Xiangping County"

"Gao Du Wei is the Du Du Lieutenant of Hu Tu, and at this time, Gao Du Wei has arranged it, and the general will not overstep his bounds," Wang Gang said and arched his hand at Gao Shun.

Gao Shun hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"The king is too righteous and righteous, and the last general is willing to lead the trapping camp and swear to protect the two counties" Gao Shun didn't expect that Wang Gang would damage so many soldiers and hand over the two counties to his own management.

The trapped camp he led was like water without roots, and he couldn't get a new source of troops, which made it difficult for him to make great achievements.

"Gao Duwei is polite, you and I are colleagues, and we are both Han Sheji" thought for a while and said.

"This general doesn't have too many troops to help you, so I will leave you with three hundred sword and shield soldiers, if Hugh Tu makes any changes. Send someone to Yanmen Pass, I will not sit idly by"

"Thank you, Wang Taishou" Gao Shun was really moved.

On the second day, Wang Gang led the rest of the people back to Yanmen Pass.

When the battle report of the recovery of Dingxiang and Xiangping counties reached Jinyang County, Ding Yuan was also startled.

He knew that Dingxiang County was guarded by a large force of Xiu Tu, which was the golden ring for the biggest opportunity to compete for King Xiu Tu. How could it be captured by Wang Gang in a few days, and even the general Jin Huan himself was killed.

"Wen Yi, what do you think" Ding Yuan handed the battle report to a scribe next to him.

"Wang Gang is an extraordinary person, so you should make plans early" The scribe read the battle report, his eyes narrowed, revealing a cold murderous intent.

"I planned early, he has thousands of elite soldiers in Yanmen County, as well as a few generals. Even if the soldiers and horses of the entire state are combined, I am afraid they will not be able to capture Yanmen County," Ding Yuan said angrily.

"Envoy, there is a plan for the humble position, you can take Yanmen County without blood," the scribe's eyes shone brightly.

"Oh, Wen Yi, tell me quickly, what a plan" Ding Yuan was interested.

"Murder with a knife"

"How to borrow a knife to kill someone," Ding Yuan asked with some puzzlement.

The scribe sneered, touched his short beard under his forehead and said.

"The emperor and the general have recently become more and more fierce in the competition for military power, and he is ready to reset the captain of Xiyuan, so that the king will show Wang Gang's merits, and His Majesty will be happy. Maybe Wang Gang will be given a lieutenant, and then Wang Gang will definitely not be able to disobey the order and go to Luoyang. At that time, the envoy will take Yanmen County like a bag to get something," the scribe finished speaking, sneering with a sarcastic smile.

"If Wang Gang becomes the captain of the West Garden, wouldn't it be even more disadvantageous to this official," Ding Yuan asked with some puzzlement.

"No, no, Captain Westpark. Nominally, it was a Praetorian Guard, under the direct command of the emperor. How could the general be indifferent, and when the time came, he would definitely force Wang Gang to choose a side to surrender. Whatever he chooses, he will be in a dilemma," the scribe told him all about his plan.

"Okay, good" Ding Yuan said a few good words, and his heart was a little excited.

"Then the humble post will congratulate the envoy in advance, and take full control of the state" The scribe saw that Ding Yuan had adopted his suggestion, and hurriedly patted a sycophant.

"Then Wen Yi is solely responsible for this matter," said the two of them laughing again.

It has been more than a month since last year, although most of the world has fallen into war, but there is no shadow to be found in Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, although the people are having a hard time, the wealthy families on the street are still walking brightly on the wide streets of Luoyang.

On the General Street in Luoyang Dongcheng District, there are especially many dignitaries. The residences of the important members of the imperial court are located here, and there are some officials who come to visit the entrance of the general's mansion, complimenting each other and saying some auspicious words.

Today, the General's Mansion held a banquet and invited court officials, including the three princes and nine kings, as well as some young descendants of the family, all of whom were heroic and extraordinary. Let's cook wine and talk about it, and point out the country.

The general He Jin is in the first place, on the left is the Tai Lieutenant Cao Song, who has just been promoted to the head of the Three Princes, Situ Yuan Feng, and on the right is the hussar general He Miao, Sikong Xu Xiang. The rest of the Jiuqing County guards are not qualified to sit in the inner hall.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, everyone is sitting in danger, knowing that the general He Jin will not set up a banquet for no reason, and there must be something to discuss. A few days ago, it was reported in the palace that Liu Hong, the son of heaven, fainted, but he was afraid that he was ill, and he should be appointed as soon as possible.

"On the occasion of the new year, the people live in peace, the country and the people are safe, and we will receive the emperor's grace in the future. That is, the humerus of the imperial court, which should share the worries of the imperial court. The two princes are talented and intelligent, and they should persuade the Son of Heaven to establish the prince as soon as possible.

"What the general said is very true, we should meet the Son of Heaven and set up the prince as soon as possible," Situ Yuan Feng said.

Sikong Xu Xiang and Hussar General He Miao both agreed, and the position of Taiwei Cao Song was embarrassing, he was not only a eunuch, but also had a lot of connections with the family, so he didn't dare to express his position easily, so he could only echo in a low voice.

"A few days ago, it was reported in the palace that the Son of Heaven fainted, although it was not confirmed. It won't come out of nowhere. We should have made plans ahead of time. He Jindao.

"I don't know who the general thinks can make the prince," Situ Yuan Feng said.

"Zhou Yang has transgressed, how can I speculate about the establishment of the crown prince, how can I speculate, this matter should be given to the son of heaven, please decide the son of heaven" He Jin arched his hand to the east and said. "The emperor has two sons, and the eldest son argues why the queen was born, who is gifted and intelligent, respects his teacher, and acts steadily."

"The prince argues that he has the appearance of a clear monarch, and we think it is feasible" everyone.

"You can write to the Son of Heaven to seal the second prince as the king of Chen Liu, and govern Chen Liu. For the sake of the court, I think the prince will be willing. Taiwei Cao Song said.

After several people finished discussing, they decided to wait for the end of Xiu Mu to write to Emperor Liu Hong and set up the prince as the crown prince
