Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

At this time, the governor of Bingzhou was replaced by Ding Yuan.

After Ding Yuan succeeded the governor, he immediately recruited more troops and recruited heroes and righteous men from all over the world.

An army of 4000 men was quickly formed.

Upon receiving the arrival of Xu Dingbu, Ding Yuan went out of the city to meet him.

"The Marquis of Weihai came to help us in Bingzhou. The people of the original Bingzhou thank you all."

Xu Ding replied: "Inspector Ding is too polite. I am an official of the imperial court, and I should share your majesty's worries. However, the Huns plundered and killed my Han people. As a man of the Han family, I have the obligation to kill the enemy and save my people from suffering. dangerous."

"Okay! Marquis of Weihai's words are very kind, please come to the city." Ding Yuan had just taken over the position of governor, and he had no confidence in fighting back against the Huns.

His 1-strong army is mostly used for self-defense, so he attaches great importance to Xu Ding's [-]-strong army.

Especially the Donglai cavalry in Xu Ding's hands.

After exchanging pleasantries and entering the city, and after hosting a banquet, Xu Ding asked, "Master Ding, I wonder if you have any plans. Can you tell us about the situation of the Huns in detail?"

Ding Yuan then reported the situation of the Southern Huns stealing Shuofang and Shangjun and attacking Xihe County and Wuyuan County in the prefecture.

Here in Dingyuan, Xu Ding and Cao Cao knew that the entire county of Xihe County was basically lost. The Southern Huns could directly threaten Hedong County, which attacked Sili, while Wuyuan County was in danger. Wuyuan was united by local aristocratic families The tyrants fought against the enemy and defended their cities.

"Wuyuan can't be lost. Once Wuyuan County is stolen by the Huns, Yunzhong and Dingxiang will be lost and Yanmen County will be endangered." Ding Yuan thought for a while and said:

"So I want to swear to go north to help Wuyuan County as soon as possible."

Cao Cao said: "Master Inspector wants to keep Wuyuan County first, and then wait for an opportunity to attack the Huns from north to south."

Ding Yuan nodded, to the general idea, keep Wuyuan first, and whether he can attack the land occupied by the Huns depends on the specific situation.

At that time, even if you can't attack Shuofang where the Huns live, you can still make some achievements.

As the governor, Ding Yuan has more worries, and he has to consider a wider range of aspects. He can no longer fight the enemy rashly like before when he was a general, and he will not be the first to rush to the front line.

In fact, Ding Yuan also came from a poor family, and he was promoted step by step to his current position by relying on his military exploits. The moment he took over as the governor, he began to transform from a poor family into a noble family.

Everything is changing subtly, but it's just that the time is short and it hasn't shown up yet.

Chapter 173 Xu Ding and Ding Yuan's Plan

Chapter 173 Xu Ding and Ding Yuan's Plan

Cao Cao looked at Xu Ding.

He naturally followed Xu Ding's lead.

Following Xu Ding, one can win battles, and the other can learn from experience to protect himself.

Xu Ding looked back at Cao Cao, and then said: "What Governor Ding said is reasonable, Wuyuan County must not lose, otherwise the whole Bingzhou will be more turbulent, the imperial court is now focusing its energy and troops on Liangzhou, if the turmoil in Bingzhou further expands, The imperial court is even more unstable."

Ding Yuan was overjoyed, as long as Xu Ding agreed to go to Wuyuan.

But he was a little too happy, only to hear Xu Ding go on to say: "However... Although it is important to rush to the Wuyuan, it is not necessary to transfer all the soldiers and horses. According to Master Ding, the Xiongnu is divided into two parts. One part will attack Wuyuan from the nearest north, and the other will go south to attack Xihe County, coveting Hedong County, and may even cross the Fenhe Valley Road and enter Taiyuan County, so we should also be divided into two parts, one will rush to aid Wuyuan County, and the other will enter Xihe County Cameras must be used to defeat the enemy, otherwise the Huns’ rebellion may last for a long time.”

Xu Ding actually didn't like Ding Yuan's strategy very much. Ding Yuan wanted to completely abandon Xihe County and protect Wuyuan County, and then send all the soldiers to Wuyuan to fight a protracted war with the Huns.

From the perspective of the governor of Bingzhou, this is beneficial. First, he can stabilize his position as governor, and second, he can use Wuyuan as a battlefield to train troops, continuously strengthen his strength, and gather elite soldiers.

But it took a long time, and it was impossible to really attack the Huns, because it was a passive way to be beaten. Even if there was a chance to fight back, it would only go a hundred miles deep into the land occupied by the Huns.

The Xiongnu are nomadic people. Although they live in Shuofang, the north of Shangjun, and the north of Xihe, they can migrate.

It is completely possible for the enemy to advance and retreat, lengthen the depth, and let the Han army attacking in Wuyuan return without success, and then make a comeback every year, which is extremely troublesome.

The final result was that the Xiongnu were still recruited, and the big man still had to send money and food to appease.

Xu Ding and the others were guest soldiers who came to Bingzhou to help, and the morale of the army became unstable after the war went on.

It was impossible for them to be free long-term labor for Ding Yuan, so Xu Ding didn't want to be taken advantage of.

Ding Yuan saw that Xu Ding, a young man, was not so easy to fool, and then said: "I'm afraid it's not good. The part of the Huns who plundered south is quite restrained now, and they are not going south. If our army takes the initiative to attack them, it will be disguised." Provoking them to continue going south will cause Hedong and Taiyuan County to fall into the flames of war and expand the war."

Xu Dao shook his head: "Otherwise, the reason why the Huns did not go south to Hedong and east to Taiyuan is because they just invaded the central and southern part of Xihe County and have not digested the plundered fruits, or they are distributing benefits.

Once they stabilize these places, they will continue to test and go south. Do we have to wait for them to grow stronger and invade us south before passive defense? "

Ding Yuan couldn't refute for a while.

Because this is not easy to answer, it may lead to criticism and slander the reputation.

That's right, Ding Yuan is starting to gain fame now.

If you want to secure the position of governor, you must have a good reputation, and you can't lose money.

In the past, Ding Yuan was a reckless warrior who fought and killed. The aristocratic family looked down on him and would only treat him like a domestic dog. To gain their approval, you have to sneak into the aristocratic family circle and stand in their circle to think and solve problems.

"Bokang is right. This reminds Cao of Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu was fighting against the Xiongnu all his life. He took the initiative every time he sent troops. This reversed the disadvantage of my big man being passively beaten." Cao Cao also figured it out. Yuan Xiaoliang naturally stood in the same boat as Xu Ding and agreed with his words.

Cao Cao is also on Xu Ding's side. The Cao family is a big family with close ties in the court. Ding Yuan wanted to change from a poor family to a family and integrate into it. Naturally, he would not offend too much, so he didn't refute it. He just asked:

"Then what are your plans?"

Cao Cao looked at Xu Ding, he followed Xu Ding anyway, and insisted on following the banner.

Xu Ding thought for a while and said: "I think we should divide our troops. Our Donglai army came to Bingzhou from far away and the soldiers from Bingzhou have not been well-adjusted. Mixing them together is not conducive to commanding operations, so Master Ding can take most of the troops to Wuyuan County to rush to help. , and Meng De and I led 8000 people out of Zishi, and entered Xihe County to actively seek out the enemy and kill them."

Cao Cao praised: "Take the defensive position in the north to contain the Xiongnu and attract the attention of the Xiongnu, and take the offensive in the south to advance and kill the enemy's nest. It's wonderful!"

Ding Yuan's fat face twitched unconsciously, and his expression darkened slightly.

Brilliant fart.

The two of you sing and harmonize, and it is wonderful to cooperate.

In this way, he suddenly lost the opportunity to command Xu Ding and others with 8000 troops. How could he let these [-] people stay in Bingzhou as cannon fodder.

It's not that Xu Ding and Cao Cao overly speculate on Ding Yuan's intentions, but that once they follow Ding Yuan, they will inevitably form a unified commander.

At that time, was it Ding Yuan, the governor, who was going to be the commander-in-chief, or Xu Ding, the Marquis of Weihai.

Both parties must be unwilling, so it is better to march separately.

This time it was not in Youzhou, and Ding Yuan was not Liu Yu, so he was not so easy to talk to.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll take the army north to help Wuyuan. I will buy time for you and attract the attention of the Huns. I hope the two of you can win the battle and kill more enemy chiefs." Ding Yuan said perfunctorily, his face He looked bored and wanted to see off guests, without the original enthusiasm.

Xu Ding and Cao Cao looked at each other and said goodbye.
