"Wei Gongzi, I heard that Wang Gang has left Luoyang, will he send troops to Hedong?" asked Guo Da.

"He will definitely send troops to Hedong, if Dong Chong dies in Hedong, how can he explain to the county lord" Wei Qian's face was gloomy, thinking of the humiliation he suffered in Luoyang, and Cai Yan who snatched him, which reminded him of the name Wang Gang, and he couldn't sleep at night.

"Then how to deal with it, I heard that Wang Gang can fight well" Guo Da is a little clever, but the big strategy is obviously insufficient, and he relies on Wei Jiao, who is from a big family.

"If he doesn't come to Hedong, it's okay, if he dares to come, Hedong will be his burial place" Wei Jiao's hatred for Wang Gang was not concealed at all.

"Wei Gongzi has a clever plan to deal with that Wang Gang" Guo Da suddenly became interested.

"Dong Zhong is besieged, Wang Gang will definitely bring troops to help, and the marshal sent a strange army to set up an ambush on the road from Tongguan to Hedong, cutting off his way back, no matter how cunning Wang Gang is, he will also become a turtle in the urn"

"This plan is very good, just act according to the child's policy" Guo Da was immediately overjoyed.

As long as Wang Gang is solved, then no one will be able to pose a threat to the Yellow Turban Army in Hedong County.

"But that Wang Gang, you have to leave it to me" Wei Qi's eyes were full of fierceness.

Wei Qi's strategy was a typical siege of Wei to save Zhao, which was originally perfect, but what they didn't expect was that the Yellow Turban Army under Dongyuan City would be defeated so quickly, so the result was already doomed.

Jishui starts from the foot of Wangwu Mountain in the west, flows into the Yellow River to the southeast, it is not very long, but two or three hundred miles, the water surface is not very wide, and the winter drought and little rain, the width of Jishui is only three or four zhang now. A wooden bridge spans the water. At this time, an army was slowly crossing the bridge.

"General, the road here is narrow, and it is the only way from Tongguan to Hedong, do you want to leave some soldiers to defend this place" Chu Yu looked at Wangwu Mountain in the distance, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

"No need, we don't go back to Merge from here, we go to Merge from Hexi"

Chu Yu was taken aback, returning from Xihe County to Merge Prefecture is equivalent to crossing the entire Hedong County, killing all the way, how long will it take, but since Wang Gang said so, Chu Yu is not good to say anything.

The army marched through Jishui and traveled less than five miles. There was a puff of smoke behind him, and a soldier rushed to Wang Gang to report and say.

"General Qiqi, a large number of Yellow Turban troops appeared in Jishui and burned down the wooden bridge"

Wang Gang was stunned in his heart, he was really hit by Chu Yu's crow's mouth, but he didn't care, and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat.

Zhao Yun also sent back the news from the front, the 1,000 cavalry led by Guan Yu had already killed the Yellow Turban soldiers under Dongyuan City, and Wang was a little relieved just now, at least he would not attack on both sides outside the field. Then he commanded his soldiers to hasten their march.

The procession marched for another half day, and a fork in the road appeared. Continue to the south along the official road, about 100 miles can reach the territory of Anyi County, and turn more than 20 miles to the west is Dongyuan County. The view is wide, and there are wheat fields on both sides of the road.

Hedong County is located on a plain and has fertile land. Originally, the people here were rich and prosperous. But this year, because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was not a single pedestrian on the entire official road, and a round of red sun in the distance slowly disappeared between the mountains and forests, leaving only a thousand zhang of glow, dyeing half of the sky in the west into a red color.

It wasn't until the second watch that the army came to the east wall. Although Dongyuan County is a small city, but the location is somewhat special, it is the gateway to the northwest of Hedong County, although the people in the city are only thirty or forty thousand people, but the defense measures of the county town are repaired very completely, this year Li Ru sent people to strengthen the city wall, and built two arrow towers at the city gate. But all this cheapened Dong Chong, so that he could hold on to Dongyuan County for a few days.

"Brother is coming, for my brother's heart can finally be put in his stomach" Outside the city gate, Dong Chong was already waiting under the north city gate, and when he saw Wang Gang coming, he hurriedly said with a smile.

"The last general Wang Gang, I have seen the hussar general" Wang Gang turned over and dismounted, and saluted Dong Chong.

"Hey, my own family, call me my brother, the virtuous brother has been tired all the way, and the wine has been prepared for my brother, come with me into the city" Dong Chong stepped forward with a smile, grabbed Wang Gang's arm and said.

"Brother, wait a minute," Wang Gang arched his hand and said with a smile to Guan Yu, who was standing behind Dong Chong.

"Guan Sima won the first battle and raised the prestige of our army. When the war in Hedong subsides, I will definitely write to Your Majesty to show credit for Guan Sima."

"The last general didn't dare to take credit, thanks to the soldiers' lives" Guan Yu heard Wang Gang say this, and his heart was naturally happy, but he didn't show it, bowed down and said.

"Guan Sima's bravery, I naturally know, but this cavalry guarding the city will inevitably be tied. It's better for Guan Sima to lead the cavalry to hide outside the city, wait for the Yellow Turban to attack the county seat, and then cover up from behind, what does Guan Sima think?"

Guan Yu also thought that the cavalry should be stationed outside the city, but there were not many defenders in Dongyuan City, so he led his troops into the city just in case.

"Okay, when the time comes, take the wolf smoke as the number, remember not to take the initiative to attack," Wang Gang leaned over to Guan Yu and whispered.

"No" Guan Yu took the order and left. Taking advantage of the night, a thousand cavalry left the West City Gate and disappeared into the night. The news of the defeat of the Dongyuan Yellow Turban reached Yangyi County, and Guo scolded him. Originally, in a small Dongyuan county, it should not be a problem for the 3,000 Yellow Turban Army to take it, but he didn't expect Wang Gang to come so quickly, and he killed his 3,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in just one day, which made Guo Da's heart can't help but rise again.

"The marshal doesn't have to be angry, since Wang Gang has arrived in Dongyuan County, and he has fallen into our strategy, the marshal only needs to send a large army to surround Dongyuan County, and let him Wang Gang can't escape" Wei Qian didn't care about the three thousand Yellow Turban soldiers at all, what he cared about was Wang Gang.

"But that king just brought two thousand soldiers, and if he wants to capture Dongyuan County, I'm afraid it won't be easy" Guo Da looked embarrassed.

"Don't care, the city wall of Dongyuan County is no more than three zhang high, I have ordered someone to build fifty ladders, and they will be sent to the camp of the handsome tomorrow, and the county seat of Dongyuan will be broken in the future."

Guo Da was overjoyed when he heard this, their Yellow Turban Army was short of siege equipment, if there was a ladder, then it would not be difficult to take Dongyuan County.

"Then thank you Wei Gongzi," Guo Da said to Wei Qi.

In the early morning of the next day, Guo Da gathered 5,000 elite Yellow Turban soldiers and headed towards Dongyuan County.

Yangyi County is only 100 miles away from Dongyuan County, and there is a straight official road. There is no danger along the road, and in two days they arrived at the city of Dongyuan County, where the 5,000-strong army was assembled at the west gate of Yangyi County, and Guo Da and Wei Qi rode on horses and were located in front of the battle.
