Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 498: Change of defense, and the crisis situation in the state
Cao Ang held the hands of the two girls and said softly: "Good boy, remember to change your words in the future and call me husband instead of young general. Wouldn't that seem too harsh?"

"Yes, husband."

"Husband."

Big and small Qiao called Cao Ang respectively, and then they became Cao Ang's women respectively.

The two girls were married for the first time, and their bodies couldn't bear it, so they took a rest early.

And Cao Ang also entered the fishing space, hugging him from left to right.

"Congratulations to the host, you got two fishing opportunities."

As soon as you enter the fishing space, the system prompts.

Cao Ang boarded the boat to fish with ease, and finally got two reels again.

"Congratulations to the host, for obtaining the trebuchet blueprint, and obtaining the Bingzhou and its northern terrain map."

After Cao Ang exited the fishing space, he took out two scrolls and started checking them.

"This trebuchet is a good thing. With it, you don't have to worry about conquering cities and territories in the future."

Cao Ang muttered, and then planned to find someone to make a trebuchet immediately after dawn. After all, this thing would be used in the future attacks on Xiliang and Liaodong.

As for the topographic map of Bingzhou and its northern part, Cao Ang was a little confused.

Although Ding Yuan, the current governor of Bingzhou, was not a subordinate of Cao Ang, he was indebted to Cao Ang for saving his life. In addition, Ding Yuan was devoted to the Han Dynasty, so Bingzhou has always been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

It's a pity that Ding Yuan was stabbed in the back by Lu Bu. After the battle with Dong Zhuo, his vitality was severely injured and he couldn't do anything.

Coupled with the previous rampage of the Yellow Turban Army and the invasion of foreign races, the defense around Bingzhou was very empty.

Except for Taiyuan, where Ding Yuan was in charge, other counties were plundered by foreign tribes from time to time.

The last time Ding Yuan sent someone to ask Cao Ang for help, it was because he found that the aliens on the grassland were preparing to make a big move, and he was worried that he would not be able to resist, so he asked for help.

However, Ding Yuan was afraid that Cao Ang would blame him, so he did not inform Cao Ang of the actual situation in Bingzhou.

At this time, Bingzhou was Taiyuan.

In Ding Yuan's house, he was sitting there with his brows furrowed, listening to his subordinates report the situation.

"Lord, the alien races on the grasslands have become more active recently. The surrounding counties and counties have been robbed and suffered heavy losses. People are complaining. We really can't sit idly by and do nothing anymore!"

When Ding Yuan heard this, he frowned helplessly and said, "What can I do about this? Bingzhou is not a big place, and it is plagued by war. At the moment, our military strength is very low."

"The foreign races on this grassland are all based on cavalry, and they don't attack cities. They just come over on horseback, grab things, and then leave. So what can I do?"

At this time, Ding Yuan was helpless. After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

He also wanted to drive out all these alien races, but he didn't have any troops.

The original Bingzhou Army was famous for its cavalry. After all, the name Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was not for nothing.

However, he was stabbed in the back by Lu Bu and suffered heavy losses. The Bingzhou army was dispersed, and only about a thousand cavalry remained.

Ding Yuan wanted to reorganize the cavalry, but he had no money or horses, so he could only raise an infantry and barely gained a foothold in Taiyuan.

At the moment, facing the invasion of foreign races, Ding Yuan is really helpless.At this time, Ding Yuan's subordinate spoke again: "My lord, when Xiahou Dun led his troops to fight Gongsun Zan in the Yanmen area, those foreigners were honest!"

"Those days were the most peaceful days in Bingzhou, but as soon as Xiahou Dun withdrew his troops, those foreign tribes began to make moves."

"So far, they are ready to take action aggressively, and they don't take us seriously at all."

"My lord, as for the Xiahou brothers, we will station troops in Jizhou. Otherwise, we can just ask them for help."

When Ding Yuan heard this, he shook his head: "Brother Xiahou, we have to listen to Cao Cao and Cao Ang. Let's go find them. It's better to go find Cao Ang again!"

Having said this, Ding Yuan paused, and then said to his subordinate: "Thank you, please go to Luoyang again to find Cao Ang, and tell him... the true situation of Bingzhou."

"Lord, if we do this, won't you be punished?" the subordinate asked slightly nervously.

Ding Principle shook his head and said: "There will definitely be punishment, but if it continues any longer, the alien cavalry will trample Bingzhou. At that time, I'm afraid we will all lose our heads!"

When Ding Yuan's subordinate heard this, he didn't say anything more, but hurried down to pack his things and headed to Luoyang again.

……

At this time, at the border of Sizhou, there was Zhang Liao's army tent.

Zhang Liaozheng and Yu Jin were sitting face to face.

"Wen Ze, why did the young general let you come here first?" Zhang Liao looked at Yu Jin and asked with a smile.

When Yu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "The young general is not worried about you. You won't be home for a long time. I asked you to go home and take a look. I specially asked you to come and take your place for a while."

"You go back to Luoyang first, have a look at home, and then go out with the Major General's army."

Hearing this, Zhang Liao nodded slightly and said sincerely: "Young General is really kind-hearted and considerate of his subordinates."

Yu Jin didn't speak when he heard the words, but he still nodded in agreement.

Later, Zhang Liao informed Yu Jin about the situation among the generals, and then asked his lieutenants to stay, and he returned to Luoyang with only one person and one horse.

A few days later, in Luoyang city.

Cao Ang has prepared all the grain and grass, and has begun to arrange manpower to escort the grain and grass to the border of Sizhou in preparation for the capture of Xiliang.

At this time, Zhang Liao has returned.

He looked at the food and grass and couldn't help but sigh.

"Major General, we have just finished conquering Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. The 30-strong army went out and must have lost a lot of food and grass. How can we still come up with so much food and grass?"

Cao Ang smiled softly when he heard this, and explained: "This is all thanks to the new grain varieties and the implementation of the farming strategy. Otherwise, no one can survive the continuous fighting."

When Guo Jia heard this, he also smiled and said: "Looking at the world, we are the only ones with such strength. I believe that the day when the world will be peaceful is not far away."

Everyone around Cao Ang also agreed with this.

At this time, a deputy general reported: "Major General, gentlemen generals, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, has sent an envoy to ask for an audience."

When Cao Ang heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Ding Yuan's envoy? Didn't he just come here a few days ago? Why are you here again?"
