The wind and snow have been blowing for three days, and it is difficult for thousands of birds to find food

A heavy snowfall took three days before the clouds were cleared. Wang Gang has been back to Yanmen for two days, and he has been to see Huang Zhong several times, but he has not seen Huang Zhong wake up, and he can't help but blame himself.

Fan Chong didn't expect Huang Zhong to be so seriously injured, when he proposed this plan, Wang Gang was worried that Huang Zhong would not retreat, and sure enough, this old general was still the same as in history, brave and strong.

When Wang Gang was thinking about whether to bring Huang Zhong to Luoyang, or take Zhang Ning to Yanmen, he heard the soldiers report that someone from Luoyang had arrived at the gate of Yanmen Guandong.

"It should be that the holy decree has arrived, so let's go and greet it," Fan Chong said.

Wang Gang nodded, and took Wu Zhao towards Dongcheng.

Under the east wall of Yanmen Pass, Zhang Rang looked at this wall with some curiosity. In his impression, there is no wall here, and the reason why he personally came to Yanmen Pass to announce the decree was that Liu Hong asked him to come over in person to see what the situation in Yanmen Pass was like, whether Wang Gang lied about it, or whether Wang Gang had any secrets.

All along the way, Zhang Rang kept an eye on it. Every time I go to a county, I will inquire about the situation of Yanmen County, and the situation I get is Yanmen County in the past two years. The government decree was clear, there was no war, there was no excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and the common people's lives were generally prosperous, and they were richer than those of the Central Plains.

It's just that recently I heard that the Huns were going to attack Yanmen Pass, and some of them fled to Taiyuan County, and others did not cause any adverse reactions.

Wang Gang walked out of the gate and saw that it was Zhang Rang, and he was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"There is a trip to Master Lao Zhang himself"

Zhang Rang saw Wang Gang and showed a kind smile.

"The general kills the enemy for the country, and for the sake of the country, it is also appropriate to sprinkle the family and run away"

"The snow is covering the mountain, Lord Zhang has been tired all the way, come and follow me into the customs"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and helped Zhang Rang to board the carriage, while Wang Gang rode a horse to accompany him and gave Zhang Rang enough courtesy.

When he arrived at the gate, Zhang Rang finished the cooked hot rice and drank half a pot of hot wine, and his face was much more ruddy.

"Thank you for the general's hospitality, in the military, save energy and save money," after speaking, he took out a yellow scroll from the brocade box he carried.

Wang Gang hurriedly knelt down and caught it with both hands.

Zhang Rang congratulated Wang Gang first, and the two complimented each other for a while, and then Zhang Rang turned the topic to the war horse.

"Your Majesty wants to form a cavalry, and the original Bingzhou Thorn Stin Yuan is responsible for training, I don't know what the general suggests"

Zhang Rang said very implicitly, and the point was up to the point. I hope Wang Gang can understand that this is Ding Yuan's position.

"Your Majesty has this idea, we as courtiers should help each other, I don't know how many cavalry Your Majesty wants to build."

Now Wang Gang also knows that Zhang Rang must have come for the war horse. But he also wanted to know how big Liu Hong's appetite really was.

Zhang Rang listened to Wang Gang's tone, and said with a gentle smile.

"I've worked with the general a few times, and I know the general's temper, so I won't beat around the bush. His Majesty appointed Ding Yuan as the commander of Jinwu, who could command 2,000 cavalry, and Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Shangdang County, was responsible for training"

When Wang Gang heard Zhang Yang, he was shocked. asked quietly.

"Is that Zhang Taishou still staying in Bingzhou?"

"It is impossible to stay in Bingzhou, Your Majesty has issued an order to assassinate him as the Governor of Jingfu. I will go to Beijing in the near future."

"Then whether the candidate for the Taishou of Shangdang County has been decided" Wang Gang finally asked the question he wanted to know the most, the position of Shangdang County was too important.

"There have been several arguments in the court, and Your Majesty has not yet issued an order, so he is waiting for the general." Zhang Rang paused when he said this, and the meaning was obvious.

Wang Gang breathed a sigh of relief, since the words have been said about this, he is no longer hypocritical at the moment.

"Lord Zhang and I have nothing to hide, and Bingzhou does need cavalry, but since Your Majesty wants to form cavalry, I should do my part. I can hand over all three thousand horses to Your Majesty."

"The general is really a loyal and righteous man, and the Sprinkle family must be gifted to Your Majesty" Zhang Rang's face was full of smiles, originally thought that Wang Gang would hand over two thousand war horses at most, but he didn't expect Wang Gang to be so happy.

"The matter of Shangdang County, please pay attention to Lord Zhang"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I don't know if the general has any suitable candidates to recommend"

"Yingchuan celebrity Xi Zhicai, a student of Mr. Shuijing, is knowledgeable and upright. Now he is the chief envoy of the general's mansion, and he can take on a big responsibility."

"Mr. Shuijing's name, the Sprinkle family also admires him, but he didn't have the opportunity to meet him. When I go back, Your Majesty, please wait for the news with peace of mind."

Now that the matter has been finalized, the two chatted about some family life, which is naturally entrusted by the Queen Mother, after all, Wang just set out on the second day of marriage, and he didn't even have time to return to meet the Queen Mother.

Wang Gang handed over 3,000 war horses and 1,000 sheep to Zhang Rang, and asked Wu Zhao to lead 200 cavalry to escort them to the south of Mayi City for more than ten miles before saying goodbye and going back.

When Wang Gang returned to Yanmen Pass, he heard the soldiers tell him that Huang Zhong had woken up.

Wang Gang hurriedly ran over, only to see Huang Zhong leaning against the wall, seeing Wang Gang coming in, struggling to get up, Wang Gang hurriedly stepped forward and pressed and said.

"General Huang, how do you feel?"

"Let General Anton bother, the injury is no longer serious" Huang Zhong's voice was still a little hoarse, but his complexion was no longer a big problem.

"General Huang must not be like this next time, Yanmen Pass is occupied, and we will fight back, if our lives are gone, everything is gone. Think about the sons and ladies in Luoyang."

"The last general listened to General Anton, I don't know what happened to the Huns now"

"The Huns have retreated, and now the snow is closing the mountain, it is impossible to harass Yanmen Pass a year ago, and the general can recuperate from his wounds with peace of mind."

"Then the general will be relieved"

Huang Zhong woke up, Wang Gang's heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and after two days, Huang Zhong was already able to get out of bed and walk around, and Zhang Liao and Xiao Liuzi also returned to Yanmen Pass with their soldiers, Wang Gang gathered everyone together and prepared to have a small meeting.

Wang Gang first introduced Huang Zhong to the others, and several people greeted each other. Huang Zhong desperately defended the city, they already knew, and they also had a little more respect for Huang Zhong.

Wang Gang sat on the main seat, and on the left was Zhang Liao. Fan Chong, Huang Zhong. On the right are Xu Huang, Xiao Liuzi, and Zhang Lin. Zhang Lin is Zhang Liao's elder brother, who was originally just a small businessman in Mayi County, but now he has become one of the top businessmen in Yanmen County. Having been doing business with the Huns on the grassland for a long time, the thousand war horses that Wang Gang handed over to Liu Hong were obtained through Zhang Lin's hands.

But now that the Xiongnu and the Han are fighting, it is not easy to get some war horses from the Xiongnu.

Wang Gang showed the holy decree in his hand to everyone, and several people were very happy and congratulated one after another, while Zhang Lin on the side frowned.

As long as you have soldiers in your hands, no one dares to be disobedient, but the Jinyang family is full of wealthy businessmen everywhere, relying on soldiers alone, if you want to take full charge of the state, I am afraid it is not so easy.
