When Wang Gang returned to Ruyang Houfu, he saw Cai Yan waiting for him at the door, hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, stepped forward, hugged Cai Yan, and walked to the inner courtyard.

Several maids turned around one after another, but Cai Yan blushed and buried her little head in Wang Gang's chest.

After a few pleasures, Cai Yan couldn't exert any strength, lay in Wang Gang's arms, and whispered.

"Husband, you must take care of yourself, concubine."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine, how can I give up on you" After Wang Gang finished speaking, he kept kissing Cai Yan's little face, slowly and the majestic wind was still there, turning over and pressing Cai Yan under him.

"Husband, the concubine is really unbearable, let Ning'er serve her husband," Cai Yan hurriedly said.

"Help me give birth to a little marquis"

Cai Yan no longer struggled, and worked hard to cater to Wang Gang.

When Cai Yan opened his eyes again, there was no one around him, and Wang Gang at this time had already come to Tongguan and came to the stone room.

Turn on the redemption device......

Sold 1020 units of solid bamboo to get 11.43 million copper coins

Sold 635 units of larch to get 3.5 million copper coins

Sold 123 units of gravel to get 250,000 copper coins

plus the remaining more than 5 million before, barely enough to make up 20 million

All of them were exchanged for silver coins, and two thousand one-star pikemen were bought, plus two hundred and two-star light cavalry, and five hundred and three-star archers were all the strength of this expedition.

"Chu Yu, sell the solid bamboo, give priority to the purchase of archers, replenish the archers to three thousand, and then prepare some more food" Wang Gang explained, and then walked out of Tongguan with Wu Zhao and Fan Chong.

From Tongguan to Runan County, you need to go around the west of Luoyang City, cross Luoshui, and go south out of Mingtang. It took a day for the soldiers to reach Yique Pass.

, the west is Xiangshan, the east is Longmen Mountain, the famous Longmen Grottoes are on this mountain, a canyon in the middle, a big river flows along the canyon, flows into Luoshui. Yique Pass is built on the Yi River, during which the valleys are connected, since ancient times it is a defensive place, and Ru Ying must pass through to go north to Luoyang.

There was already a group of people waiting under the gate, Wang Gang stepped forward, saw Liu Kuan and Xun Shuang, the big Si Nong, and hurriedly jumped off the war horse and stepped forward.

"The armor is inconvenient to salute, the two gentlemen have been waiting for a long time"

"Ruyang Hou doesn't need to be polite, the old man has been ordered to supervise the military rations, and it has been sent, and I ask Ruyang Hou to send someone to receive it" Liu Kuan, the chief farmer, first said the official business.

After Wang Gang sent someone to receive the grain and grass, the two took Wang Gang to the side, and Xun Shuang spoke.

"I have a nephew, Xun Yu, who is studying in Yingchuan, Ziyi may as well find it, maybe he can help a little" After speaking, he handed a letter to Wang Gang.

"Thank you, sir," Wang Gang was sincere this time.

"Lead the troops to the battle, be careful in everything, don't chase after the poor, don't enter the forest, think about retreating in distress, and slow down if you are in a hurry," Xun Shuang advised.

"The student wrote it down," Wang Gang said.

"Young and Wandou, sit down and the war in the southeast is not over" Liu Kuan sighed, groaned, and said again.

"Zi Yi is going, you must think of the common people, don't kill more"

Wang Gang said goodbye to Xun Shuang and Liu Kuan, and went south along the Yihe River, and after nearly ten days of marching, he arrived at the county seat of Pingyu County, the county seat of Runan County.

Yuan Shu was already waiting outside the city gate, and when he saw Wang Gang, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and said.

"Runan is too guarded by Yuan Shu, and I have seen Ruyang Hou in person"

"You and I are brothers, so you don't have to be polite" Wang Gang laughed, stepped forward and patted Yuan Shu on the shoulder and said.

Yuan Shu also said with a smile.

"I have prepared a banquet in the city, and my brother has come with me into the city."

When they arrived in the city, Wu Zhao took the soldiers into the barracks, and Wang Gang and Fan Chong went to the county guard's mansion.

Although Yuan Shu had just taken office, the Yuan family's reputation was very powerful, and Yuan Shu soon took over the entire Runan County.

"Brother Wang came, the little brother was relieved, and he couldn't make any waves if he wanted to come to the yellow scarf," Yuan Shu said at the banquet.

"Please also ask Brother Yuan to help a lot," Wang Gang raised his glass and toasted Yuan Shu.

"You and I are brothers, if you say this, you will see the outside, as long as Brother Wang speaks, the younger brother will obey" Yuan Shu said proudly after drinking.

"I am relieved to have Brother Yuan's words, but I came out in a hurry, and I asked Brother Yuan to prepare some grain and grass," Wang Gang said.

"It's good to say, it's easy to say, tomorrow I will send grain and grass to the barracks"

Since Wang Gang only needs grain and grass and no soldiers, he is also happy to be idle, originally thought that Wang Gang would open his mouth to ask for some soldiers, and he originally prepared hundreds of soldiers.

On the second day, Wang Gang received the grain and grass, and then took the soldiers to the east, Yuan Shu sent Wang Gang out of the city for ten miles, and he was still reluctant to give up, and claimed that if he was not entangled in official business, he would accompany Wang Gang to kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions.

It wasn't until Wang Gang said that if he guaranteed his logistical supplies, he would naturally be indispensable to the credit, so he left satisfied.

Walked to the east for another three days, passed through Anyang, Xinxi, and two counties, until Yiyang City, it was officially close to the battlefield, Yiyang County is located in the northeast of Runan County, bordering Yingchuan County, is a small border county, and Wang Gang was scared and trembling and couldn't say anything. Wang Gang didn't make it difficult for him, asked him to arrange a military camp, and then asked some about the Yellow Turban Army.

"After returning to Ruyang, the Yellow Turban Army is now entrenched in Xu County, twenty miles away from this county, and it will arrive in an hour as soon as possible.

Wang Gang glanced at it, it was the soldier's life, it was obvious that the county seat was too small, and even the Yellow Turban Army couldn't look down on it, and according to the current situation, the Yellow Turban Army didn't seem to want to attack Runan County, but only wanted to take Yingchuan County first, and then turn to the south.

"The merit of the Xu County Order, the general will definitely show His Majesty, Xu County Order went on to say, how many Yellow Turban soldiers are there in Xu County"

The county magistrate heard that Wang Gang would help him speak, and immediately thanked him and hurriedly said.

"There are 2,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in Xu County, all of whom are old and weak women and children, and the Marquis of Ruyang can fight down."

Wang Gang also relaxed a lot when he heard this, first take the county seat, a good start, the next day Wang Gang asked Wu Zhao to take a thousand soldiers to attack Xu County, sure enough, in less than half a day, Xu County was taken.

When Wang Gang arrived in Xu County with a large army, he knew that these remnants of the yellow scarves were really appropriate to say that the old and weak women and children were really appropriate. It was simply a group of ordinary people, and more than a hundred real Yellow Turban soldiers were killed by Wu Zhao himself, and a few people also abandoned the city and fled.

Xu County is slightly larger than Yiyang, but because it was occupied by the Yellow Turban for a period of time, the county seemed to be a little depressed, and everyone was closed. Wang Gang took Fan Chong and walked down the street, and even the beggars in the distance were so frightened that they hid when they saw them, and none of the other shops dared to open their doors to do business.

The only one that opened the door was a grain store, the gate had been damaged, several of the men inside had been dead for a long time, the corpses were a little decomposed, and there was not a single grain in the grain shop, I think it was the Yellow Turban when he entered the city, he was slaughtered.
