After listening to Wang Gang's words, Jia Xu laughed twice and said. "This is not due to the general, when the general proposed a plan to delay the army, the court sent someone to talk to Zhang Yan for two months, and did not come up with a reason. Later, Zhang Yan reacted and fell into the strategy of delaying the army, presumably Zhang Yan already hated the general to the bone"

Wang Gang was speechless for a while, and emphasized again. "I really didn't propose a plan to delay the army, I was in the court to sincerely surrender, and then He Miao took the Yingchuan Yellow Turban to talk about things, and things became like this, hey, don't talk about it, how is Wei Wei's subordinate now, if not, go to Bingzhou" Wang Gang led the topic to Wang Gang.

"The situation of Weiwei has been basically stabilized, Luoyang's troops have been exhausted, Weiwei's more than 1,000 troops are particularly important, and all the lower officials can't go to the state for the time being" After half a year of operation, Weiwei has been controlled by Jia Xu, which is undoubtedly a big help to Wang Gang.

"But I still don't have much confidence about next year's war, and the state is now surrounded by enemies, and if I am not careful, I will fall into the abyss," Wang Gang said.

"The war in Bingzhou is actually not difficult, not to mention that the Xiongnu will not attack Taiyuan on a large scale, and the Yellow Turbans in Hedong are also difficult to become climates, mainly in Hebei, the general should pay special attention" Jia Xu pondered for a while and said.

Jia Xu's words surprised Wang Gang, he has been focusing on the Huns, but Jia Xu said that the Huns would not attack in a big way, which made him very puzzled.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Wang Gang.

"The Huns will put on a posture of attacking Yanmen, forcing the imperial court to recognize the ownership of Wuyuan County and Yunzhong County, as long as the goal is achieved, they will definitely retreat, if the goal is not achieved, they will continue to harass. As for why you want to guard against Hebei County, you can see it when you look at the general's march, isn't it clear that the Yellow Turban Army in Hebei will be driven to the party" After Jia Xu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the map on the low table.

Sure enough, this time He Jin led the army, went directly to Yanzhou, entered Qingzhou, and attacked from east to west, if Zhang Yan was defeated and retreated, he could only retreat to Yanmen County. Wang Gang's face changed slightly when he saw it, he was not afraid that the yellow scarf would join the party, but He Jin brought the army to Qingzhou, in case he let him go south and come to Luoyang, what should he do.

"This He Jin is sick in the brain, how can he not see such a big loophole"

"He Jin is not too stupid, let Cao Cao lead two thousand soldiers, guard in Hanoi County, garrison on the south bank of the river, rely on the danger of the river, Zhang Yan has no boat to cross the river, it is unlikely to cross the Yellow River" Saying this, Jia Xu's face changed greatly, and he realized that he had also made a serious mistake.

"The big river is no longer a natural danger in the middle of winter, although the grain can't cross the river, but the soldiers can" Wang Gang laughed miserably, this He Jin is really stupid.

"The matter has come to this, the general still needs to plan early, in case Zhang Yan leads the light troops to obey and cross the river, Luoyang is in danger"

"I'll enter the palace now," Wang just finished speaking, and then got up and walked out of the study.

He also found Chu Yu and asked him to go to Tongguan to exchange for some soldiers, and let Zhao Yun bring the white horse to Luoyang.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Liu Hong was originally very happy to see Wang Gang, but when Wang Gang told him what he might face, he couldn't sit still, and kept pacing back and forth, and even Zhang Rang couldn't help sweating on his forehead.

"There is a certain chance that the Yellow Turban Thief will go south," Liu Hong asked.

"I don't know, it's just that there is such a possibility," Wang Gang said truthfully.

"What's going on in the state," Liu Hong asked again.

"Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian in Bingzhou, was ambushed once a month ago, injured thousands of soldiers, led 20,000 cavalry, stationed in Dingxiang County, but I don't know when he will launch an attack on Bingzhou, King Youxian went to Bei a month ago to attack the Wuhuan people, the Wuhuan people were defeated, and some of them surrendered to Beibei, and now there are 40,000 Hun cavalry in Beibei, and there are 20,000 Wuhuan and Qianren" Wang Gang replied truthfully.

"That is to say, there are at least more than 100,000 Xiongnu" Liu Hong felt powerless for a while.

"Yes"

"That's really embarrassing for you, how many soldiers are there in the state now?"

"Originally, there were 10,000 soldiers in Yanmen County, but after several major battles, it was less than 5,000, and the last general recruited 3,000 from Shangdang, and 4,000 from Taiyuan and Xihe County, plus the original strength of the three counties, barely enough for 20,000 and 5 soldiers, but most of them were new recruits and lacked training."

Liu Hong was also entangled for a while, and originally wanted to transfer some soldiers back from Shangdang County, but now it seems that it is not easy. Just as Liu Hong was about to give up this idea, Wang Gang spoke.

"The last general has ordered people to transfer back 3,000 soldiers from the Shangdang to ensure the safety of Luoyang first"

"Good, good, good" Liu Hong was overjoyed, if there were three thousand soldiers, then relying on the city wall of Luoyang, he was not afraid of Zhang Yan's sneak attack at all.

When Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, an attendant hurriedly came in and said.

"Captain Cao was besieged by 20,000 Yellow Turban thieves on the edge of the river and asked for reinforcements"

Liu Hong's face changed slightly, and he asked with a strong pretense of calmness.

"How many troops does Captain Cao have?"

"Less than two thousand"

"The last general wishes that the commander will go to support Captain Cao, and ask Your Majesty to answer," Wang Gang knelt down and said.

But Liu Hong fell into silence, Luoyang City's current strength is only a few hundred defenders at each city gate, and then there are two thousand imperial forest troops led by Jianshuo, and more than a thousand palace patrol soldiers of Wei Wei, and there are no more soldiers in addition.

What made Liu Hong hesitate even more was that there was no general in the city, Wang Gang was the only general in Luoyang, if Wang Gang went out of the city to rescue again, then when the Yellow Turban attacked the city, there was not even a command.

"There are no troops in the city, how can you go out of the city to rescue," Zhang Rang said slowly.

Wang Gang also instantly understood that the emperor had given up Cao Cao, but this was understandable, compared to Luoyang Cao Cao.

"General Wang, go back first, and I'll discuss it with the ministers and make a decision" Although Liu Hong didn't say it to death, he just agreed with Zhang Rang's statement very tactfully.

Wang Gang had no choice but to leave. Just as Wang Gang was about to walk out of the main hall, Liu Hong admonished again.

"Now that the situation in Luoyang City is in crisis, General Wang must focus on the overall situation and not leave Luoyang"

Obviously, Liu Hong was frightened by the 20,000 Yellow Turban Army, but Wang Gang didn't take it seriously at all, if there was a 108,000 one, he was a little worried, and he didn't care about the 20,000 soldiers.

As soon as Wang went down to the west gate, Zhao Yun was already waiting at the city gate, the cavalry could not enter the city, and Zhao Yun only brought a dozen personal soldiers.

"General Zhenbei, what's wrong" Zhao Yun clasped his fists and saluted, and hurriedly asked, Chu Yu asked him to bring troops to Luoyang, and he didn't tell him what happened.

"There is a small group of Yellow Turban soldiers, who came to Hanoi County, and are besieging Captain Cao on the south bank of the Great River, originally I wanted to lead troops with you to support, but Your Majesty asked me to defend the city, you go for me to drive away the Yellow Turban soldiers, don't delay the people of Luoyang for the New Year" Wang Gang said very casually, using Zhao Yun's white horse to fight the Yellow Turban Army, isn't it anti-aircraft artillery to fight mosquitoes.
