Wang Gang also understood the queen mother's hard work at this time, sometimes the queen mother's mother is much better to Wang Gang than the emperor is to Wang Gang, such as the Hebei incident, the emperor can't wait for Wang Gang and Yuan Shao to fight to the death.

"Now that the big thing is over, the miscellaneous family still has a small matter, please ask the general to help," Guo Sheng said and arched his hand to Wang Gang.

"Lord Guo, please speak"

"The miscellaneous family also heard that the general is going to build the Zhenbei General's Mansion in Jinyang, but it has not been started, presumably because the money and grain have encountered some trouble, and the miscellaneous family has also saved some silver over the years, so you might as well hand it over to the general, I just hope that the general will help the miscellaneous family build a small courtyard next to it when he builds the general's mansion, and there will be a place to live when he is old" Guo Sheng said with a smile.

"Lord Guo is serious, this is what I should do, since the adults like Jinyang, then when I go back to Jinyang, I will start arranging this matter to ensure that Lord Guo is satisfied" Wang Gang hurriedly said.

"The general doesn't have to be like this, the miscellaneous family said so, naturally they regarded the general as their own person. Thinking that I am a crippled person, it is useless to ask for so much money, you might as well put it here with the general, I am so relieved"

What Guo Sheng said was very true, it turned out that Cao Cao's night break into Zhang Rang's mansion last year still scared these eunuchs a lot, and Luoyang has not been peaceful recently, so after thinking about it, it is safer to put it on Wang Gang's side. Build a small courtyard in Jinyang, in case His Majesty goes west, they can also flee to Bingzhou to seek Wang Gang's protection.

"Since Master Guo said so, then I might as well obey my fate with respect," Wang Gang said with a little embarrassment.

"The county lord has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he has also watched the miscellaneous family grow up, and it is also an honor for the miscellaneous family to be by the county lord's side in the future.

The two talked again, and Wang Gang said goodbye and left, what Wang Gang didn't know was that there were so many rich silks, which made Wang Gang stunned.

Wang Gang walked out of the post house and asked Hao Meng to find Chu Yu, Yang Yuan and Han Feng. The four of them were in the study, and Wang Gang said his inner worries.

"The general is worried about the Huns, and he is attacking the west," Hao Meng asked after thinking for a while.

"Yes, I think the Xiongnu in Taiyuan retreated too easily, and they retreated to Wudu County but did not start, are they waiting for something," Wang Gang said.

"It's very possible, but I don't know where the goal of the Huns is" Chu Yu also felt that things were not so simple.

"Then we might as well use the elimination method and exclude them one by one. Then the rest is where the Xiongnu are most likely to attack," Hao Mengdao said.

"The places where the Xiongnu attacked were none other than Yanmen Pass, Ningwu Pass, Biguan Pass, and Shangdang County," Wang Gang said.

"Then what if the Huns attack Xihe County," Hao Meng said again.

"It doesn't make much sense to attack Loufan County from Xihe County, Loufan County is too close to Hequ County, and it is easy to reinforce it" Wang Gang shook his head and vetoed the proposal.

"What the last general means is that the Huns did not intend to attack Taiyuan County at the beginning, but attacked Xihe County"

Wang Gang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't help but say.

"Xihe County is adjacent to Shangjun, and there are Qiang and Xiongnu people in Shangjun, and they want to attack Xihe County, unless the Qiang and Xiongnu unite ......" Wang Gang said this, his face changed greatly, and he finally knew where he was wrong. I always thought that there were Qiang, Di, and Xiongnu people in Shangjun, and I never thought that they would unite to attack Xihe County. The mind has been stuck in the dead end that the Huns will only attack Taiyuan County.

Several people saw that Wang Gang's face was not good, and they also knew the seriousness of the problem.

"Han Feng, you and Chu Yu take the archers, set off first, pay attention to safety on the road, be careful not to fall into an ambush, go to Lishi County first, Yang Yuan, you rush to Tongtian Pass first, re-recruit a thousand cavalry, and respond outside. A thousand soldiers here are handed over to Commander Hao Meng, without further ado, go now"

The three of them agreed, but before they had time to leave, they walked outside.

Because Wang Gang still has to make some arrangements, the county defense of Hequ will be rearranged, if the Huns know that Wang Gang's elite soldiers have been transferred to Xihe County, Liu Bao will inevitably attack Wudu County again, relying only on Lu Bu's 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers, if he wants to hold Wudu County, I am afraid it will be a little reluctant.

Wang Gang transferred 2,000 soldiers from Hequ County to Wudu County, and when he passed through Shilin Pass, he recruited 2,000 one-star archers, leaving 1,000 to guard Shilin Pass, and 1,000 to Hequ County and handed over to Commander Cheng Lian. After a few days of recuperation, Cheng Lian was already able to get out of bed, but his body was still very weak, and Wang Gang repeated a few words of advice before urging the war horse to walk out of the city.

Chen Gong and Tian Feng saw Wang Gang leaving in such a hurry, and wanted to come forward to ask, but they heard Wang Gang say that everything was as usual, so they left without looking back, and asked Cheng Lian only to learn that the Huns might unite the Qiang and Di people to attack Xihe County, and their faces were also full of worry.

In the southwest of Xihe County, there is a beautiful small river called Yuanshui. The water flows from the Bald Mountain in Shanggun to the west through Shenmu Peak, giving this ordinary river a mythical color. Every year, people come here to make a wish to be blessed by the gods. Like a silver ribbon, the water meanders along this fertile hill until it finally flows into the great river.

And on both sides of the water there are a pair of sister counties. It is the circle of yang and the circle of yin. One is on the south bank of the water, the other is on the north bank, and the two counties face each other across the water. Like a pair of close sisters, the two county towns are not very large, only twenty or thirty thousand people combined, and the people of the county town do not depend on farming for a living, but like the Huns, they live by grazing.

As the sun sets, the herdsmen drive their cattle and sheep and sing cheerful mountain songs towards the city. The city gate is in front of you, and you can already faintly hear the laughter of the women and the crying of the children in the city. The herdsman seemed to think of the woman in his own family, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

There was a slight tremor from the earth, which made the herdsmen turn their heads in confusion, but they saw a black line on the ground in the distance, and the herdsmen were suddenly frightened and hurriedly ran towards the city. It didn't take him a few steps before a feathered arrow shot through his thin back, piercing through his body.

The herdsman looked at the tip of the arrow in a daze, and shouted with the last of his strength.

"The Huns are coming."

A few more feathered arrows whistled, and the herdsman fell to the ground, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, and a small sound came from his throat, only to be drowned out by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves.

"Close the gates ......"

The guards on the city wall also found the cavalry, and hurriedly ran down the city wall, dozens of people forced, and the city gate slowly closed. But just as the gates were about to close completely, a strong surge came. Dozens of people were knocked out, and one by one the Hun cavalry rushed into the city.

A soldier who was lucky not to be knocked off the air didn't have time to pull out the short sword at his waist, but he watched the city gate spin for a while. Then he fell to the ground, and a huge horse's hoof stepped on it, and suddenly blood splattered, red and white, all over the city gate.
