Chapter 179: The Great Harvest
Fan Chong laughed twice and said
"It turns out that the general can think of it, but I didn't think the general could think of it."
"You...... Don't dislike me for being stupid. If you can't accept it, tell Zhang Liao, let them go" Wang Gang was a little speechless, he was disgusted by Wu Zhao and didn't take him on the expedition, and now Zhimou was disliked by Fan Chong.
Fan Chong was silent, his eyes showed a ghostly light, and he didn't know what bad idea he was thinking about. He pondered for a moment before speaking.
"The affairs of the Wuhuan people, let's wait until we get to the side pass, as for the affairs of Wuxiang County, what is the general going to do?"
"Now that there is no war in Yanmen County, let Xi Zhicai lead 5,000 people to stay in Shangdang first. Liu Bao has already taken Wuyuan County, if he attacks Shangdang, we will support the Taiyuan army from two fronts."
Wang Gang felt that he was thoughtful this time, and said a little proudly.
It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with Wang Gang thinking like this, after all, this is normal human thinking. But Fan Chong shook his head and said.
"Liu Bao will not attack Taiyuan, the weather is getting colder, the delivery of materials is inconvenient, although the cavalry can loot supplies, but the battle line is too long, and Wuyuan County has just been occupied, and it will take a while to digest. And the most important point, the troops of Yunzhong County were almost completely wiped out by us, and if we attack Taiyuan, we can send troops from Shangdang County and cut off his way back. I don't think Liu Bao is that stupid."
Wang Gang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, as long as the Xiongnu did not attack Wuyuan County, then give him some time to prepare, and it would not be a problem to hold the annexed state.
"That's good, as long as you guard against the Huns in the north, you can sit back and relax"
"General, don't be too happy, the news of the Hun soldiers in the clouds is believed to have reached Liu Bao's ears, and the general thinks Liu Bao will do something."
"Take revenge on us and attack Yanmen County?" Wang Gang asked with some uncertainty.
"Not bad"
"Then you also let them plunder the supplies of the Huns"
"Did the general think that if he didn't plunder them, the Huns would not come to retaliate?"
Wang Gang was speechless for a moment, thinking that what Fan Chong said was not bad, anyway, war was inevitable, it was better to weaken the enemy's strength as much as possible.
"Then I'll wait for him at Yanmen Pass to see if he can break through Yanmen Pass" Wang Gang suddenly became arrogant.
"I'm afraid this general is wrong, if that Liu Bao is smart enough, he will definitely not attack Yanmen Pass, but will attack Ningwu Pass, the city wall of Ningwu Pass is low, and there are only 3,000 defenders"
Wang Gang said with a faint smile.
"He went to attack Ningwu Pass, he would die even worse, the road in Ningwu Pass was narrow, and he couldn't open a large-scale attack, at most three or four hundred people at a time, the three thousand soldiers in Ningwu Pass were all the elites brought from Tongguan last time, and there were more than a thousand Wu Zhao's own sons"
The so-called Wu Zhao's own son is the more than 1,000 three-star pikemen that Wang Gang brought back from Yingchuan, and they are treated like Wu Zhao's own sons, all of them are extremely elite.
"But if it's just defense, casualties are inevitable, and it changes over time, it's better to beat the Huns as soon as possible, and we can have a good year this year."
"What bad idea have you thought of again," Wang Gang suddenly became interested.
Fan Chong was speechless for a while when he heard Wang Gang's words, and went to the army to plot, why did he want to say it so ugly.
"I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it when Chu Yu and the others come back."
Wang Gang was speechless for a while, how could there be such a thing, first hang people's appetites, but don't say anything else.
Fan Chong changed his words and said.
"Since Zhang Taishou has been stationed in the partial pass, the general should go and open it as soon as possible, so that all the four passes of Yanmen County will be opened"
"I'm also going to go to a side pass in the next two days, but it's not very important whether to open it now, it's three levels less than the next level of exchange, and it's useless to only open the Niangzi Pass."
"Don't the generals know that opening all the levels in one place can be exchanged for buildings," Fan Chong asked.
"And this, why don't I know" Wang Gang was a little surprised, he didn't expect that when he opened all the levels in one place, he could even exchange buildings.
"If you open all the levels in one place, you will unlock the unique building exchange in one place, but ......"
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the gate, and a soldier ran over to pray.
"General, General Chu Yu, they're back"
Wang Gang was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Fan Chong up the city wall, raised his eyes to look outside the pass, and was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of him.
Dozens of carriages in front and countless cattle and sheep on the mountain road behind fill the entire mountain road. Wu Zhao sat on the war horse and kept waving to Wang Gang. Wang Gang couldn't help but hold his forehead with one hand, and asked you to rob the grain and war horses, what did you do when you got so many cattle and sheep back.
The army of cattle and sheep took four or five hours to enter the Yanmen Pass, and now the entire Yanmen Pass is full of cattle and sheep and horses, and the sheep and eggs in one place are stinking.
After all of them were settled, the three of them stepped forward to say goodbye.
The three of them snatched back more than 2,000 horses, 10,000 cattle, and 200,000 sheep. There are more than a dozen wagons of money and materials, which are difficult to count for a while, and a rough estimate is hundreds of millions of dollars.
Although I was very happy to see these things, I was a little worried, these cattle and sheep still had to be taken care of, and they couldn't be kept in Yanmen Pass, and Wu Zhao next to him was still talking about the affairs of Yuanyang County. It was because of these cattle and sheep that the speed of the march was delayed.
On the second day, Wang Gang took Chu Yu to the side pass, and Fan Chong and Wu Zhao also went to Ningwu Pass, and Yanmen Pass was temporarily handed over to Huang Zhong to defend, Chu Yu was still a little worried at first, but Wang Gang insisted, and the rest of the people didn't say anything anymore.
Huang Zhong knew that if he wanted to integrate into Wang Gang's circle, he needed to work harder.
Wang Gang's arrival, Zhang Liao was overjoyed, the two had been separated for nearly a year, looked at each other and smiled, hugged each other tightly, but the little sixth son next to him was crying.
"Wenyuan, I've worked hard for you, and you little sixth son." Wang Gang stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Liuzi's head, remembering that when he first arrived in this world, only Xiao Liuzi believed in himself and stayed in Yanmen Pass.
"My brother doesn't have to be polite, my brother is alone and has a career, so my brother is impressed, the two sisters-in-law are okay, when can I go to see them"
"Yes, yes, I heard that the general married the county lord, when will I go to Luoyang to have a look"
"Yes"
The topic suddenly became much easier, Zhang Liao and Chu Yu were also more familiar, hugged each other, and walked towards the side pass.
Because it was not very peaceful outside, a few people didn't dare to drink to their heart's content, so they drank a little and talked about some previous things before they brought the topic to business.
"What are these Wuhuan brothers going to do?" asked Zhang Liao.
Wang Gang pondered for a while and spoke.
"I want to use these Wuhuan people as bait, and when the Huns come to attack them, I will make a detour to intercept the Hun cavalry"
Then he told Fan Chong's strategy.
Zhang Liao's eyes showed a trace of unbearability, and he was immediately covered. He bowed to Wang Gang with a fist.
"Brother, take care, when you drive away the Huns, you and I will have a good drink"
After speaking, he ordered five thousand soldiers, took advantage of the night to get out of the pass, and went south along the big river.
