Chapter 253: Leaving Luoyang
Dong Zhuo's face was slightly embarrassed, but he still said stubbornly.
"A total of 3,000 Guanzhong Iron Cavalry were brought, and only 1,000 were accompanied by the last general, and there were still 2,000 on the way."
Wang Gang was also shocked when he heard it, three thousand cavalry, this is not a small number, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately understood, this must be Dong Zhuo's bluff, and he was also determined in his heart at the moment, and said with a smile.
"That's really good, there are 3,000 cavalry of General Pingxi, Luoyang is worry-free, it's just ......"
Hearing Wang Gang say this, Dong Zhuo originally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard Wang Gang's words turn again, his heart suddenly rose again.
"It's just that the cavalry is not conducive to defending the city, I have transferred three thousand archers from Shangdang, who can assist General Pingxi in defending the western city wall, I don't know if General Pingxi needs it" Wang Gang looked at the scribe beside Dong Zhuo and said meaningfully.
Li Ru was suddenly shocked in his heart, could it be that Wang Gang saw it, but they didn't show a flaw, and hurriedly said calmly. "Thank you General Zhenbei for your kindness, since Your Majesty has issued an order to let us wait to guard the West City Gate, how dare you bother the general"
"This must be Mr. Wen Wei, Mr. Li is erudite and witty, and Mr. Wen He is full of praise every time he mentions you."
Li Ru froze suddenly, his plan to deceive others is okay, Jia Xu can definitely see it, since Wang Gang mentioned Jia Xu, it proves that Wang Gang also knows, but since Wang Gang did not expose it, he pretended to be confused.
"Mr. Wenhe is too modest, I will definitely come to the door to ask for advice" Li Ru bowed again.
"In this case, then there is General Lao Pingxi at the West City Gate, the Yellow Turban Army is powerful, General He still doesn't know when he will be able to bring troops back to help, we should cooperate sincerely, don't lose big because of small things"
After Wang Gang finished speaking, he arched his hand at the two and rode away.
"What bad idea is this kid playing again, the old man thinks it's better not to get too close to him, lest he be betrayed" Dong Zhuo looked at Wang Gang's back, and felt unhappy for a while.
Li Ru was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, he originally swore to come to Luoyang, but he forgot about Jia Xu, and there was a Zhenbei general standing behind Jia Xu, which made him feel powerless.
"Now the strength of the general is not something we can compete with, only the general of United Zhenbei can have a glimmer of life."
Dong Zhuo could only nod silently and led the soldiers to the military camp near the West City Gate.
Chu Yu brought a total of three thousand one-star archers, all of which had just been exchanged from Tongguan. Although Wang Gang also wanted to save some more copper coins, the situation in Luoyang was even more urgent. If he doesn't have enough troops in Luoyang, when something happens in Luoyang, he won't be able to share enough benefits, and maybe he can't even guarantee the safety of the county lord and Cai Yan.
Liu Hong was naturally very excited when he learned that the Shangdang army had arrived in Luoyang, and the dark clouds that shrouded him finally dispersed, and he immediately agreed to Wang Gang's request, and named Huang Zhong as the captain of archery, with 2,000 archers in charge of guarding the three gates of Nancheng. Feng Yuan Yin was appointed as an infantry captain and led 2,000 foot soldiers to guard the three gates of Dongcheng. As for the remaining 1,000 archers, Wang Gang also happily handed them over to Jian Shuo and asked him to be responsible for the defense of the North City Gate.
Time passed in a flash, and three days later, the news came back from Beibi Mountain, the Yellow Turban Army in Hanoi turned to the east, Shanyang, and Gongxian counties were broken, and the Yellow Turban Army robbed the grain of the government and coerced a large number of peasants to Yanzhou. The imperial court issued a document again, ordering all counties in Yanzhou to recruit soldiers and horses on their own to resist the Yellow Turbans, and the imperial court will reward meritorious deeds at that time.
I don't know if the Yellow Turban Army was unlucky, or He Jin was unlucky, the two armies met on the narrow road in Yanzhou's Yan County, and the two armies retreated after a day of fighting. He Jin didn't dare to stay any longer, gave up his baggage, and marched quickly towards Luoyang.
In the Ziwei Palace, Dong Wan'er hugged Wang Gang's neck tightly, raised her red lips again, and her eyes were blurred. Wang Gang had to smile bitterly, leaned over and kissed it, and the wind was calm, and the waves gradually stopped.
A ray of sunshine in the early morning sprinkled all over the window lattice, Dong Wan'er opened her eyes and looked around habitually, but it was empty, a drop of tears rolled down, fell on the big red brocade quilt, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The Yellow Turban Army went to Yanzhou, and Luoyang City regained its calm again, but the high and terrifying food prices were still rising, and at this time, Wang Gang jumped off his war horse and saluted Dasi Nong with some crying and laughing.
Wang just left today, no one notified, since yesterday with Liu Hong's consent, he wanted to leave secretly, lest a few old people come to see off, but when they arrived at the gate of Xiaxi City, they still saw two familiar figures.
"Da Si Nong" Wang Gang turned over and dismounted, and saluted respectfully.
"Ziyi is in such a hurry to leave, is he afraid of seeing the old man" Liu Kuan showed a kind smile.
"Si Nong said and laughed" Wang Gang scratched his head a little embarrassed, since he married the county lord, he was a little afraid of seeing the old man in front of him, after all, he proposed to let him marry Cai Yan.
"The old man has one thing to ask Ziyi for help, I don't know if the old man has this face"
"Si Nong, please say, as long as the kid can do it, he will definitely not sit idly by," Wang Gang said.
"I want to ask Ziyi to transfer some grain and grass from Bingzhou to Luoyang to stabilize the grain price in Luoyang, now the grain price in Luoyang has been 500 yuan of rice, and the people are afraid that this year will not be good."
Wang Gang smiled bitterly in his heart, Liu Kuan came to him, it must be for food. But fortunately, it was for him to stabilize food prices, and he didn't take it out directly.
"I will allocate some grain to Luoyang, and hand it over to the Dong family when the time comes," Wang Gang said.
"I'm relieved to have Ziyi's words," Liu Kuan finished speaking, and laughed twice.
After Liu Kuan's matter was finished, Wang Gang looked at the red sleeves next to him, a little strange, why is this little girl so quiet today.
"Is there anything wrong with Sister Red Sleeves?"
"I... I. I want to go back to Jinyang with you," Red Sleeves whispered with his head down.
"Does Uncle Agree?"
"Hmm" Red Sleeves hummed and handed a letter to Wang Gang. Wang Gang opened the letter and glanced at it, it was Wang Yun's handwritten letter. Once again, he emphasized that the Jinyang family should not act recklessly, but at the end of the letter, he euphemistically mentioned the matter of the red sleeves missing his mother and going to Jinyang with him.
"In that case, let's go"
Wang Gang bowed to Liu Kuan and left, Liu Kuan's thin figure stood under the West City Gate and did not leave for a long time.
And a holy decree also came out of the palace, of course, it could not be sent to Hebei, and it could only symbolically read out the holy decree to the Yuan family, and named Yuan Shao as the pastor of Jizhou, in charge of Jizhou military affairs, pacifying the yellow scarf, and appeasing the people.
And Cao Cao in Peiguo County, got the news but was speechless for a long time, the same school captain, the same age, but because of different backgrounds, and became very different, if one day, I will definitely trample on these families under my feet.
"Mengde, eight hundred soldiers have been recruited, let's send troops"
