Under the cold moonlight, a group of more than 500 cavalry was galloping rapidly, and Cao Cao had already hidden more than 100 foot soldiers in the Beibi Mountain, so the speed of the march was more than twice as fast as before. Seeing that the north gate of Luoyang was already in sight, Cao Cao's heart was finally relieved.

"General Zhao's grace of life, Cao remembered it in his heart" Cao Cao thanked Zhao Yun again for saving him.

"Captain Cao doesn't have to be polite, Zhao Yun is just on the orders of General Zhenbei" Zhao Yun is not interested in this Cao Cao, like Wang Gang, he asks questions when he meets, he is annoyed to be asked now, he just wants to send Cao Cao to Luoyang, send someone to send a letter to Wang Gang, and prepare to go back to Tongguan to replenish it.

"General Zhenbei will naturally be grateful, I don't know when I will be able to see General Zhao's heroic posture again at this time," Cao Cao said with a smile.

"....." Zhao Yun almost wanted to return this Cao Cao to the Yellow Turban Army, this trip to merge the state really made him meet three strange people, a big-eared thief, a big fool, and a black charcoal head. They all chattered when they saw themselves, and sometimes Zhao Yun was also thinking, is it also a mistake to be handsome.

"Captain Cao, don't leave it here" Zhao Yun left a personal guard, beat the horse and left.

"General Zhao, keep in touch often, remember to write letters." Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yun's distant back and couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, it was already the fourth watch, and the city gate would not open in half an hour, Cao Cao followed the people who entered the city, mixed in the crowd, he didn't want the court to know now, he had escaped back, and he had to observe for a while.

And Wang Gang was also woken up by the maid, and reluctantly left Dong Wan'er's arms, last night Wang Gang finally got his wish and climbed into the county lord's bed.

Today, Wang Gang was going to the early dynasty, and Dong Wan'er also got up to help Wang Gang get dressed.

"Wan'er, let's go, you can sleep for a while"

"Is the husband still coming here at night?" asked Dong Wan'er a little embarrassed.

"It depends on the meaning of the county lord" Wang Gang said with a smile, because according to the etiquette system, Wang Gang wants to have a round house with the county lord and asks for Dong Wan'er's consent.

"When the evening comes, let's try the one you said," Dong Wan'er leaned into Wang Gang's ear and whispered.

Wang Gang was suddenly distracted, but unfortunately time was running out, so he hurried out of Ziwei Palace. Follow Chu Yu towards the palace together.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, the sky was getting brighter, Wang Gang stepped out of the carriage, but saw a servant, walking straight towards Wang Gang, Wang Gang faintly felt that this person's figure was a little familiar, but Chu Yu took the first step in front of Wang Gang.

"Ziyi is me"

"Brother Meng De, you will be here" Wang Gang was taken aback and saw that the person who came turned out to be Cao Cao.

"It's hard to put it into words," Cao Cao said with a lonely expression.

"This is not the place to talk, Brother Meng De will go to the Young Master's Mansion to wait for me first, and then we will talk in detail when I come back" Wang Gang looked at the officials walking in the distance, pondered for a while and said.

Since Cao Cao didn't want to show his true face, Wang Gang could only find a place to meet him, the General's Mansion and Ziwei Palace were too conspicuous, so they could only arrange other places, Wang Gang was just about to go to Wang Yun, so he simply asked Cao Cao to wait for him in Wang Yun's courtyard.

Cao Cao arched his hand and left, and Wang Gang also walked towards the palace.

Because of the Yellow Turban incident, Liu Hong has been in the morning for three consecutive days, but he didn't inform Wang Gang until the last day, and the inside story is not something that Wang Gang, a political novice, can figure out.

Above the court, there were two columns on the left and right of the civil and military forces, but there was a strange situation, Wang Gang stood at the head of the generals, and there were only young generals behind him, which was rare in the entire Han Dynasty.

Liu Hong walked in, didn't say much, and directly announced the news that Sun Qing led 20,000 Yellow Turban troops to Beibi Mountain, and there was a sudden gasp in the court.

"Today, I'll talk to you Aiqing about Luoyang's defense," Liu Hong said in a weak voice.

The arguments for days also made him anxious, and he couldn't sleep all night last night.

"Now that all the generals are leading their troops to go to war, only General Zhenbei returns to Beijing to report on his work, so the defense matters should be handed over to General Zhenbei," Sikong Yang Biao said.

"General Wang is naturally the main general who defends Luoyang, but Luoyang has a total of four city walls, twenty miles from east to west, and more than thirty miles from north to south.

Now that Luoyang has no soldiers and no food, if the entire Luoyang City is put in charge of Wang Gang's defense, it is really a bit difficult for a strong man.

"I have ordered Dong Zhuo, the general of Pingxi, to come to Luoyang, and the western city wall will be handed over to Dong Zhuo at that time."

Liu Hong opened his mouth and said, after speaking, he looked at Yuan Feng again, he already knew that Yuan Shu had returned to Luoyang, although Yuan Shu had little experience in leading troops, but as a county guard, the military was still much more familiar than these Korean Chinese officials.

"Juxian does not avoid relatives, and the dog technique can also participate in the defense of the city wall," Yuan Feng stepped forward and said. He also knew that to participate in the defense of the city wall, the court had no soldiers, and could only rely on the private soldiers of the family, which was also a must for these families.

Wang Gang was about to speak, but was swept by one after another, including Wang Yun and Xun Shuang, as well as Liu Hong and Yang Biao. This made Wang Gang very puzzled, but he didn't dare to speak.

"The last general asks to participate in the defense of the city," said Captain Jian Shuo, who stepped forward.

Until this moment, Wang Gang vaguely understood that this represented the three forces of the court, and now that Luoyang is in crisis, it is natural for everyone to work together, so as to maintain the balance of the court.

"Since this is the case, then General Wang is the main general, Jian Shuo, Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shu are the deputy generals, Dong Zhuo has not yet arrived in Luoyang, can you go and prepare for the defense of other city walls first" After Liu Hong finished speaking, he waved his hand at Wang Gang and Jian Shuo.

This participated in the early dynasty and participated in a lonely situation, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, this is the case, and there is intrigue, which also makes Wang Gang quite helpless.

"General Wang, please take care of it" Walking out of the palace, Jian Shuo said embarrassedly.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I don't know how many soldiers and horses Captain Jian still has," Wang Gang asked.

"Two thousand Imperial Forest Army" Jian Shuo said truthfully, but the meaning is also very clear, this is the emperor's heart, don't take them to defend the city.

Wang Gang naturally understood what Jian Shuo meant, and said after hesitating.

"The cavalry is not good at fighting on the city wall, so Captain Jian first led them to garrison at the north gate, just in case"

Jian Shuo's face was a little unsightly, but he still nodded and left.

When Wang Gang came to Wang Yun's courtyard, because Wang Yun was still in the early dynasty, there was no way to enter, Wang Gang told Cao Cao about the early dynasty, and the two walked towards an alley.

"It is more than two hundred miles from Beibi Mountain to Luoyang, and with the marching speed of the Yellow Turban, it will take at least five days," Cao Cao found the low wall and sat down, and said.

"I won't be able to arrive in five or ten days," Wang Gang said disapprerovingly.
