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

After Gongsun Zan mocked Ding Yuan, he said to Gongsun Kang: "We must always pay attention to the movements of the foreign races on the grassland, lest these guys come to harm us Han people."

As a member of the Gongsun family, he naturally looked down upon these barbarians on the grasslands.

Gongsun Kang nodded, smiled and said, "That's natural. I've already sent someone."

A few days later, Zhang Liao had already escorted the grain and grass, and took the next step to station in the south of Taiyuan.

After Ding Yuan learned the news, he immediately left Taiyuan City in person and came to greet Zhang Liao.

"General Zhang, you're fine!" Ding Yuan cupped his hands towards Zhang Liao, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Originally Zhang Liao was just a county official in Yanmen, but he was discovered by Ding Yuan and then joined the army.

Until now, Zhang Liao's status has risen sharply after following Cao Ang.

Although Zhang Liao is just an ordinary general now, his ability to lead troops on expeditions can prove Cao Ang's trust in him.

Ding Yuan had to be so respectful in front of his former subordinates, and it was inevitable that there was some unexplainable meaning in his heart.

Zhang Liao also bowed his hands to Ding Yuan and responded: "Ding Jishi, you are fine!"

Seeing Zhang Liao's polite look, Ding Yuan was instantly relieved.

After all, when Ding Yuan brought Zhang Liao out of Yanmen, he took a fancy to Zhang Liao's ability.

Now that Zhang Liao has a successful career, he can be regarded as the other party's boss!
After having this idea, Ding Yuan did not talk about official matters immediately, but began to reminisce with Zhang Liao.

When Ding Yuan felt that it was almost done, he took the initiative and said to Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, I have something to ask you!"

When Zhang Liao heard this, his expression became solemn, and he said to Ding Yuan: "Ding Governor, if you have any questions, just tell me directly. Liao is grateful for your kindness, and Ding Dang will do his best."

After receiving this answer from Zhang Liao, Ding Yuan spoke bluntly: "Wen Yuan, you also know that Bingzhou is now being plundered by the barbarians on the grasslands, causing the people to live in dire straits."

"Actually, I know that this matter is my fault. If I hadn't wanted to hide this matter at the beginning, those barbarians would not have become so arrogant."

"The situation that Bingzhou is in now is my own fault. But I'm worried that while the major general will punish me, he will also punish the soldiers who followed me."

"I know, Wenyuan, that you are very respected under the Major General, so I want you, Wenyuan, to intercede for my subordinates. I hope that the Major General will only punish myself and not involve others."

"Most of those people are your lords. I believe you don't want to see them punished. I am willing to shoulder the responsibility for Bingzhou becoming like this."

In fact, Ding Yuan wanted to plead for himself at the beginning, but he knew Zhang Liao and knew that the other party was a person who values ​​love and justice.

If you plead for yourself as soon as you open your mouth, you will end up inferior.

It would be better to intercede for his subordinates, so that Zhang Liao would not only agree, but he would also intercede for himself.

In fact, Ding Yuan really guessed it right.

After listening to Ding Yuan's words, Zhang Liao nodded solemnly and said, "Prince Ding, don't worry, the young general is a kind-hearted man, I believe he will not be too harsh on you. "I believe that as long as you, Inspector Ding, along with my former robes, fully cooperate with the Major General, and go all out in this battle to eliminate the barbarians, the Major General will definitely make your merits and demerits equal, and let bygones be bygones."

When Ding Yuan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that since Zhang Liao had agreed to this matter, he would definitely take care of it to the end.

When the time comes, if Cao Ang wants to punish himself, Zhang Liao will also stand up and intercede for him.

Thinking of this, Ding Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and responded: "Okay, then I am here, and on behalf of myself and my subordinates, I would like to thank you Wen Yuan in advance."

Seeing this, Zhang Liao quickly asked Ding Yuan to help him up, and said at the same time: "Prince Ding, there is no need for you and me to be so polite. If it weren't for your sharp eyesight back then, I'd probably still be a little kid in Yanmen now. Official."

When Ding Yuan heard this, he smiled and shook his head: "Wen Yuan, even if I didn't take you out of Yanmen back then, someone would have taken you away sooner or later. After all, I heard the Major General say something called It is gold and will always shine.”

Zhang Liao didn't want to argue any more about this matter. He just smiled and nodded, acquiescing to Ding Yuan's words.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they began to talk about business matters. The main content of the discussion was how to deal with the food and grass.

The grain and grass that Cao Ang sent Zhang Liao to escort far exceeded what the army needed for this expedition.

After all, some of it needs to be used for disaster relief.

After Zhang Liao discussed with Ding Yuan, they decided to divert some of the grain and grass for disaster relief.

Ding Yuan was not ambiguous about the disaster relief matter and immediately arranged for people to implement it.

And before Ding Yuan's men carried out these things, he also said with a serious face: "You all listen to me, I will ask you to escort grain and grass to disaster relief this time. Be sure to distribute the grain to the hands of the victims."

"At the same time, you must always pay attention to the movements of the alien races on the grassland, lest the food and grass are robbed by those guys. Remember, you can die in battle, but you must not lose food!"

"In addition, the most important point is that you all put your hands in your pockets for me. If I know, who dares to reach out to these military rations, then don't blame me for being unkind. Got it!"

After Ding Yuan shocked his men, he asked them to escort the grain and grass to the disaster relief.

Of course, the food and grass that Ding Yuan's men escorted was not much, just a small part, but it was enough to save the lives of the victims.

As for the northern areas of Bingzhou, those areas bordering the grasslands, Ding Yuan did not send anyone to escort grain and grass there.

After all, those places are too close to the grassland. If you escort the food and grass there, they will be easily snatched away by the barbarians on the grassland.

Ding Yuan now has insufficient troops, so he can only wait until Cao Ang's army arrives before going to the north of Bingzhou to provide relief.

At this moment, we can only move the people in the north of Bingzhou to the south first to keep them away from the war.

A few days later, Cao Ang took Cao Chun and Huang Zhong all the way north to the northern border of Bingzhou.

Zhao Yun, on the other hand, led his army and joined Zhang Liao. (End of chapter)
