Wang Gang's sleep was called a hard one, because he was in a hurry, the speed of the carriage was very fast, his head kept hitting and hitting on the carriage, and even the red sleeves were a little distressed when he saw the end.

"General, Tongguan has arrived" Chu Yu came to the side of the carriage and said in a low voice.

Wang Gang opened his eyes, looked around, and rubbed his head that was a little painful. Jumping out of the carriage, it was already pitch black outside. Wang Gang slept all day.

"Guan Yu has seen the general" Guan Yu walked to Wang Gang's side, hugged his fists and saluted, and under the reflection of the torch, his face was even more red.

"General Guan, have you brought all the war horses?"

"It's all brought, but the last general has something unclear, and I ask the general to solve my doubts" Guan Yu's tone was a little stiff.

It turned out that after Wang Gang promised Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, he sent someone to Guan Yu and asked Guan Yu to escort two thousand war horses to Tongguan, which was also the last two thousand war horses left by Wang Gang.

"Guan Sima, please say," Wang Gang could probably guess what Guan Yu was going to say.

"Now that the war of the state is imminent, how precious the war horse is, how can the general sell it for money" After Guan Yu finished speaking, Zhao Yun next to him also nodded thoughtfully. War horses are precious even in Youzhou.

"It's not that I want to sell it for money, it's that we really need money and food, this time we have recruited so many new soldiers, if there is not enough military salary, how can we let the soldiers go into battle to kill the enemy," Wang Gang said earnestly.

"Then why does the general still need to build roads and dig moats," Guan Yu asked.

"It was borrowed from the merchants' money to dig a moat to bring safety to the merchants of Jinyang, and at the same time the copper money flowed into the hands of the refugees, who went to buy the merchant's supplies, so that the money and materials of the whole state could be circulated. Government affairs are government affairs, military affairs are military affairs, the two should not be confused, and the money of this war horse is all used for military purposes, and those military salaries, weapons and armor are not a small amount."

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun nodded after listening, they may not know the specific number, but this time there are so many new soldiers, and the weapons and armor are definitely not a small number.

"How are the soldiers training?" asked Wang Gang again.

"The time is still short, but I can sit firmly on the war horse, and there is still a long time before the elite" Guan Yu finished speaking, and glanced at the white horse Yicong who was slowly entering the customs, with a look of envy.

"The best training is on the battlefield, this time I called Guan Sima over, I wanted to send troops" Wang Gang also knew that this newly recruited cavalry had only been trained for a month, but now he had no choice.

Guan Yu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly spoke. "The newly recruited soldiers have not yet formed an army, and I implore the general to give the last general another three months, and the last general will definitely be able to train an elite cavalry"

"I don't want them to go to war, but it's too late. But fortunately, they dealt with the Yellow Turban Army, and they had the right to train soldiers. Dong Zhuo went to Luoyang, and only the hussar general in Hedong was still struggling to support him"

Guan Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that it was facing the Yellow Turban Army in Hedong. He asked.

"When is the general going to send troops?"

"Naturally, the sooner the better, the hussar general was besieged in Dongyuan County, more than two hundred miles away from here, Guan Sima Ke led a thousand cavalry to the rescue first, and I led the army to follow."

Guan Yu didn't want to be so urgent, the hussar general naturally knew that it was the brother-in-law of General Zhenbei, the nephew of the current queen mother, and he didn't say much at the moment, and saluted with his fists.

"Guan Yu takes the order"

More than 1,000 cavalry went out of Tongguan overnight, and Wang Gang settled Zhao Yun and Red Sleeves and came to the stone room of Tongguan.

Redemption device turned on......

Please verify your identity.

As the screen lit up, Wang Gang mainly came to check how many copper coins he still had, and exchanged them for some soldiers casually. Looking at the copper coin in the lower right corner, Wang Gang was slightly disappointed.

0 gold, 350 silver, 153.26 million copper.

I thought that after nearly two months of crazy mining, I could save 200 million copper coins, but it seems that I have thought too much.

Chu Yu seemed to see Wang Gang's thoughts and spoke.

"The first few people exchanged 3,000 star archers and used 30 million yuan, and some exchanged some weapons for Shangdang, Taiyuan, about 20 million yuan"

"There's no way around it, the yellow scarves in Hebei and Hedong have disrupted our deployment, and I'm ready to open the sixth-level exchange" Wang Gang turned around and said to Chu Yu beside him.

"The general is not going to save more copper coins" Chu Yu knew that there were still many checkpoints under control on the side of Bingzhou, and the reason why he didn't go forward to open them was to save more copper coins.

"It's too late, there are too few generals now, there's no way"

As soon as Wang finished speaking, he exchanged two thousand one-star archers and one thousand sword and shield soldiers, and then turned off the exchange device.

The night outside is like ink, there is not a single star in sight, the dark sky is like a mountain, giving people an endless, boundless feeling, sometimes standing on the city wall, there will be inexplicable fear. If Wang Gang is inexplicably afraid of standing on the wall of Tongguan, then Dong Chong at this time is really afraid.

The original yearning for war, after a month of fighting by this general, there is no longer any interest in it. From the time he came to Hedong by order, there were still winners and losers at the beginning, but since the Yellow Turbans appeared in Hanoi County, the Yellow Turbans in Hedong County were like crazy, crazy attacks, regardless of the cold.

Maybe it's the mercy of God. Since the last heavy snowfall, it has not fallen for nearly a month, and the snow on the road has all melted, which makes it more convenient for the siege of the Yellow Turbans, since Dong Zhuo led the troops to Luoyang, the entire western front defense has been completely abandoned, Dong Zhuo is difficult to support alone, and he has withdrawn from the edge of Hedong County, and now the entire Hedong County is only left with the two counties of Huze and Dongyuan.

"General, why don't we retreat to Shangdang County, this Hedong County can't hold it" Dongyuan County is close to Shangdang County, which is also the reason why Dong Zhuo withdrew his troops here, the reason why he did not withdraw his troops in the direction of Luoyang is to leave a way for himself to retreat.

"The county lord wrote that the county horse has left Luoyang, I think he will come to support us, and we are ordered to come to Hedong to exterminate the Yellow Turbans, if we stay in Shangdang County, I am afraid of provoking criticism" Dong Zhong stood on the city wall of Dongyuan County, five miles away from the fire, there was the camp of the Yellow Turbans, there were three thousand Yellow Turban soldiers.

"But we have less than a thousand soldiers left. What if the city breaks?"

Dong Chong originally brought 3,000 soldiers with the general, including 1,000 pikemen exchanged by Wang Gang, as well as soldiers recruited by Wang Gang in Luoyang, plus Dong Chong's original hundreds of soldiers and some troops. But in less than a month, there are less than a thousand left.

Dong Chong couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and originally wanted to rely on Hedong to gain a firm foothold.

"Hold on for two more days" Dong gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
