Although Zhang Lin didn't know why Wang Gang wanted to ask about the pass, he still told him about the Qufu Pass, but he had heard about it, and he had not been there in person.

Wang Gang listened to Zhang Lin's words, and was slightly disappointed, but then he thought about it, and now he is not thinking about the matter of Qufu Pass, and he will go over to see it in person when he has the opportunity.

"When is the general going to Taiyuan County," Fan Chong asked everyone's concern.

"Don't worry about this, let's wait for the New Year" The snow is covering the mountain, Wang Gang doesn't want to rush now.

"The subordinates feel that the general should go to Taiyuan immediately, the Huns captured Wuyuan County, and the hearts of the people in Taiyuan County are fluctuating, and the general should go to stabilize the people's hearts and take advantage of this great victory to gain public opinion and righteousness. This will be of great benefit to us in the future."

Others also agreed, but Wang Gang was helpless and had no way to work hard.

Fan Chong also suggested that Wang Gang enter Taiyuan as high-profile as possible, quickly take charge of Jinyang with the momentum of thunder, and not give the major families a chance to swing.

In the end, it was decided that Xiao Liuzi would take 1,000 soldiers to guard the side pass, Xu Huang would take 1,000 to guard Ningwu Pass, and Huang Zhong would still stay at Yanmen Pass, leading 2,000 archers to guard Yanmen Pass. Chu Yu led two thousand three-star archers, Wu Zhao led two thousand three-star pikemen, and Wu Zhao Fan Chong went to Taiyuan first, and Zhang Liao led 10,000 Yanmen soldiers to follow.

This is basically Wang Gang's entire army now, in addition to Shangdang County, there are more than 4,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, and the total strength is close to 22,000 people. Say too much, say less and say less.

In the city of Jinyang, the streets were full of people who had fled, most of them were people from Wuyuan and Yunzhong counties, and a small number of them were Shangdang and Yanmen counties. This has led to overcrowding of restaurants and inns in Jinyang City, and prices have risen. At the beginning of the year, the price of grain was 40 yuan for rice, and now it is 180 yuan for rice. As a result, a large number of people could not afford to buy food, and there was no food in the government, and hundreds of people starved to death on the streets every day.

The whole Taiyuan County was panicked, and the news that Wuyuan County was captured by the Huns had spread, and it was heard that the Huns had broken through the county seat, and all the women, children, and children were slaughtered. Taiyuan County guarded Zhang Yi and urgently mobilized 4,000 county soldiers and deployed them in Yangqu County as the last barrier in Taiyuan.

The scene on the street reminded the people of Jinyang of the Yellow Turban Rebellion two years ago. At that time, Jinyang was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops led by Zhang Yan, and the city was full of hungry people.

The people may not be able to eat a hot meal, but for those big families, there is no slightest impact, above the lobby of the Wang family, the sound of silk and bamboo is constant, and the wine and dishes are placed on the low table in front of everyone. really responded to that sentence, Zhumen's wine and meat stinked and there were frozen bones.

The head of the Wang family is called Wang Lu, which is taken from a sentence in the music and dance speech of the Hanzong Temple. Blessings are on leave, and King Yu Zhaoyun. His life was taken from this sentence and wrapped in Wang Yun, who served as the Taishi and Young Master in Luoyang.

Wang Lu is over 70 years old this year, with a thin face and snow-white hair coiled up with a wooden hairpin. Holding a wooden cane in his hand, kneel at the head. Today, the Wang family held a banquet and gathered some of Wang Gang's branches around to discuss some plans for next year, as well as the income of this year's merchants, and distribute some side branches.

In the past, everyone received the money and happily said goodbye and left, but today's atmosphere is obviously a little depressing, looking at the old man who is napping, hoping that he can say something.

Wang Lu seemed to feel everyone's gaze, opened his eyes, and glanced at the lobby. He also understood the thoughts of the people, the Huns were about to attack, and the state assassination history escaped from Luoyang, and the entire Jinyang people were panicked, not to mention the Wang family, which was the head of the family.

"Everyone, relax your mind, and the state of the day, can't change"

"Second uncle, who do you say will take over the history of the state assassin, Ding Yuan is afraid that he will not come back" A middle-aged man in his forties who was sitting at the bottom asked, he was Wang Lu's nephew, that is, the eldest son of the previous head of the family, Wang Fu.

"Who Ren Assassin Shi has anything to do with our Wang family, go back and be more restrained, don't bully people with the name of the Wang family" After Wang Lu finished speaking, his eyes half-narrowed again.

"Second uncle, do you think it's possible, the imperial court sent the seventh uncle to be the assassin of the state" A young man sitting in the back asked. The seventh uncle in his mouth is the crown prince and young master Wang Yun.

"No, now that the hearts of the people in the state are fluctuating, and the Huns are eyeing each other, the imperial court will definitely send a tougher person over. It's best to have something to do with the army" It was Wang Xiu's eldest son who spoke, who was recognized as the most resourceful of the next generation, and the heir of the next family, and now most of the affairs of the Wang family are handled by him.

Wang Lu listened to Wang Xiu's words, and couldn't help but nodded.

"Then do you want to ask Uncle Seven, see what the attitude of the imperial court is now," the person next to him asked.

"I have already sent someone to contact Uncle Seven, I believe that there will be news in the next two days" As soon as Wang Xiu's words fell, a family member rushed to Wang Xiu's side and handed a letter to Wang Xiu.

Wang Gang read that it was written on the envelope, and his brother Wang was in person. Knowing that this was a handwritten letter from Uncle Seven to his father, he got up and walked to Wang Lu's side and handed the letter to Wang Lu.

Wang Lu took the letter and read it, first his expression relaxed, and then his brows tightened. After pondering for a while, he spoke slowly.

"This is a letter from your seventh uncle, General Anton has defeated the Huns, and the appointment of the imperial court has also come down. Appointed Andong General Wang Gang as the pastor of the state, and added the general of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Jinyang"

"Who, who is General Anton"

"I heard that General Anton married the lord of Huanting, why did he defeat the Huns again?"

There was a commotion down there.

Wang Lu knocked twice on the floor with his cane, and the hall suddenly fell silent, and he looked at Wang Lu again, waiting for the old family to speak.

"I want to come to our Wang family, and this young general still has some origins, the year before the Chinese New Year, I also came to the house to visit, but I didn't expect to be in a high position for two years, it's really a young and promising. Everyone, don't worry, go back, the Huns won't attack again."

Although the others still had a lot of questions to ask, since the head of the family had already given the order, they had no choice but to leave. After everyone left, Wang Xiu helped Wang Lu to the study.

"What else does my father have to command" Wang Xiu knew that his father let the others leave, and things must not be so simple.

"This Wang Gang is not so simple, Xiu'er, you must have a good relationship with him, your seventh uncle has repeatedly explained this matter." After Wang Lu finished speaking, his eyes narrowed.

"Then what else is there to worry about my father" Wang Xiu was a little puzzled, he had also seen this Wang Gang, he was dignified and modest, and he heard that he also became a relative to the daughter of his uncle's family, but he didn't know why he married the county lord later. Although that uncle is the seventh uncle and their family, the entire Taiyuan Wang family is in the same vein.

"He is the pastor of the state, not the history of the state, Xiu'er can know the difference"
