Chapter 283: Chen Gong
Just when Wang Gang was still proud, he saw a few figures coming down from the carriage behind him, walking towards him, among which Han Feng and Hao Meng naturally knew him. And the two middle-aged scribes with extremely poor faces behind him, Wang Gang didn't know them.
When the two approached, they bowed to Wang Gang.
"Hebei Tianfeng, Yanzhou Chen Gong has seen the general"
Wang Gang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly, could it be that he was here to serve himself, and he was also mixed to the extent that celebrities and celebrities came to vote, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, and then helped the two of them up, and said with a smile.
"Please get up, you have to help the two gentlemen, why worry about the Huns not retreating"
Chen Gong and Tian Feng glanced at each other with embarrassment. Looking at Hao Meng beside him, Hao Meng didn't know how to explain. The messenger sent the letter to Wenshui Pass, but who knew that Wang Gang and Chu Yu secretly came to Shiling Pass. I can only say it head-on.
"The two gentlemen are here to discuss something with the general, not ...... Not really"
"It's okay, it's okay," Wang Gang said with a smile as he endured the loss in his heart.
The few people in the back all forced a laugh. This general of his own was embarrassed this time, but Lu Bu's face was flushed, and he kept beating Hou Cheng beside him, so he didn't laugh.
"Under the order of Jizhou Mu, I came to thank General Zhenbei for sending troops to Hebei," Tian Feng said calmly.
"Well said, well said. The two gentlemen have worked hard all the way, so let's go to the gate to rest for a while" Wang Gang saw that the two of them were pale, and it was a little difficult to even stand, so he hurriedly said. Also to alleviate their own embarrassment.
And Chen Gong has been silently watching everything, and this trip to the state has opened his eyes. Especially when such a wide carriage was used to transport soldiers. He is really unheard of, but this Wang Gang is still similar to the rumored, with little wisdom in martial arts. But he is honest and easy-going.
Chu Yu took the two of them to the Guannai to rest, thinking that they would be bumped along the way, but Wang Gang called Han Feng and Hao Meng over, and the three of them came to the side of the large ox cart together, and Wang Gang circled around the ox cart a few times.
Don't look at the large ox cart has been exchanged for a long time, but this is the first time he has seen it. This large ox cart was pulled by four oxen, and the carriage was four zhang wide and six zhang long. There are two rows of front and back with a total of seven wheels. One of the wheels at the front can be turned, and the design is extremely clever.
"Can this kind of oxcart craftsman imitate it?" asked Wang Gang as he looked at the two of them.
"It should be possible, but it may be a little slower," Hao Meng said. As a well-rounded talent, he naturally studied oxcarts, but with the current oxcarts in the state, it is still a bit reluctant to make exactly the same.
"How far can this ox cart travel the fastest in a day" Wang Gang looked at Han Feng, this unsmiling man, as long as Wang Gang didn't ask him, he wouldn't take the initiative to say.
"Under the command of the last general, it can travel a hundred miles at the earliest. If it is a bystander, it can also travel sixty or seventy miles. If you start the stunt, you can travel 120 miles in a day. But scalpers will be exhausted to death," Han Feng said truthfully.
Wang Gang silently calculated in his heart, the ordinary marching speed of the foot soldiers now is thirty miles a day, and the rapid march is only forty or fifty miles. With an ox cart, it's more than half as fast. It's just affected by the terrain.
"If it was a smooth and wide official road, would it be faster," Wang Gang asked again.
"That's natural, but it won't exceed one hundred and fifty miles at most, and if it is more, these livestock will not be able to stand it, and the long journey will seriously shorten the life span of the livestock," Han Feng said.
"I've worked hard for you all the way, wait for me to go back to Jinyang. Then find someone to help imitate some ox carts, let's go down and repair it first," Wang Gang patted Han Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Yes," Han Feng agreed, and left with an ox cart and a team of fifty cavalry.
Watching Han Feng walk away, Hao Meng couldn't help but ask.
"The general wants to use ox carts to transport soldiers in the future"
"It's not realistic to use nature, and the dispatch of some elite soldiers is more convenient to use ox carts. Mr. Fan asked you to come, what is the so-called. Wang Gang asked. After speaking, he walked towards Shiling Pass.
"What Mr. Fan means, General Chu Yu wants to lead the archers, let me stay by the general's side......"
"Protect me?" Wang Gang glanced back at Hao Meng and asked.
"The general's martial arts are extraordinary, how can he be protected by the general, the general is just helping the general come up with ideas," Hao Meng said embarrassedly.
"What I look like myself, I naturally know that the force is less than forty points, I naturally understand your thoughts, but you have your own expertise, if you only be my escort, it is indeed a bit condescending" Wang Gang couldn't help but be moved, since the last accident in Luoyang, there will always be people around him, either Chu Yu or Wu Zhao. Since it seems that they have discussed it and found various reasons, Wang Gang naturally understands their intentions.
"We naturally know the general's intentions, but if the general has an accident. We will have no meaning in this world. As for the expertise, mine is the most useless, so I simply stayed with the general and checked and filled in the gaps, but the martial arts were a little worse," Hao Meng said with a smile.
"You, don't be presumptuous. Let's go."
Seeing Wang Gang walking back, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun's eyes suddenly lit up. Now that the troops have been dispatched, whether they are going to fight with the Huns, they have been waiting for this day, they have been waiting for a long time.
"General, are you going to send troops, the last general is willing to be the vanguard" Lu Bu said with his fists clenched. It's just that there is still a sense of loss in his eyes, especially when he sees Yang Yuan's thousand cavalry, the loss is even worse. The generals under Wang Gang now have soldiers under their command, and only he Lu Bu has only one hundred and ten soldiers from Luming Mountain.
"I naturally understand Feng Xian's intentions, and I will let Yang Yuan give you a thousand cavalry later. These cavalry will be handed over to your commander in the future, otherwise you will be a little unworthy of the name of the cavalry captain. It's just that there are not many war horses left in Bingzhou, and if you want to replenish the 2,000 cavalry, you have to wait for a while."
Wang Gang naturally saw through Lu Bu's careful thinking at a glance, and he didn't bother with him.
"General Xie" Lu Bu was immediately overjoyed, and he no longer mentioned the matter of being a pioneer.
Zhao Yun's face showed a hint of hope, and it dissipated in a blink of an eye.
Everyone was about to walk into the pass, but saw a few fast horses, galloping from Yangqu County, Wang Gang was shocked, could it be that something happened in Yangqu County, and when a few people walked in, they saw one of them, dressed as a Huns, and couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Tell the general of Zhenbei that this person is a messenger sent by the Huns, saying that he wants to have a gentleman's battle with the Han army, and the Chengdu lieutenant ordered the general to send people over. General Zhenbei, please decide," the leading soldier saluted and said.
Wang Gang was confused when he heard this, what tricks was this Liu Bao playing. However, he didn't care, and ordered the army to go down to rest, and then took the envoy of the Huns to the pass.
