Chapter 50 Miracle?

"Who is this Ding Yuan?"

Wang Rou sighed and inquired. He had never heard of the name of the colleague who was going to take up his post at his house before.

"Ding Yuan was from Nancheng County, Taishan County (now Shandong).

He was originally just a county official, but with unknown connections, he rose to the top in one step. He was appreciated by the general and was transferred to the governor of Bingzhou. "

"A person from the general?" Wang Rou frowned. He had heard about the conflicts between the general and the eunuchs from far outside the customs. Suddenly, a close aide of the general parachuted over. He was really unsure about this.

"Yes, but that's a good thing.

This Ding Yuan has no foundation in our Bingzhou. If he wants to achieve something, he must seek help from my Wang family.

After the eldest brother returns home, he can take the opportunity to make friends with him. If he can manage Bingzhou well and put an end to the Xiongnu rebellion, then everyone will be happy. The eldest brother will also contribute to the situation, and his future will be fine.

If he can't manage Bingzhou, no matter what the problem is, it has nothing to do with the elder brother. You can just sit at home, and who can do anything to you? "

"Do you think he can cure Bingzhou?" Wang Rou looked suspicious.

He is not a hot-blooded young man. He would believe that Bingzhou can be cured by just parachuting in an officer. How naive does that have to be?

Sure enough, Wang Ze shook his head

"No, the Han Dynasty is afraid that it is terminally ill and there is no cure, so what the eldest brother should really do is to return home, gather the tribesmen, and build forts to cope with the changes in troubled times. Now there is no army and no cure. It’s okay for an official with power to be inappropriate.”

The phenomenon of abandoning one's official position and leaving when one was undecided became common in the late Han Dynasty. At this time, instead of gaining temporary status in the officialdom, families with deep family backgrounds began to choose to return to their localities, build forts, and put family first. , prepare for a rainy day and strive to survive the crisis in troubled times.

"Forget it, I will go back to Jinyang first."

"According to your Majesty's wishes, if I don't return to Jinyang, I might be harassing the county guard here for a while."

Hanoi Prefecture.

Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, and Wang Yun, the former governor of Yuzhou who lived here, were sitting opposite each other.

It turned out that Ding Yuan had been ordered to station troops in Hanoi before taking office on this trip, to guard against the Bai Bo army in the west that was causing trouble in Hedong County, and to defend the capital to prevent it from going south.

So after arriving in Hanoi, he took the lead in paying a visit to the prefect here.

"Don't worry, Lord Ding. Since it is the general's order, I will fully cooperate with you in your mission here."

Wang Kuang responded with his mouth full:
"But I heard that Baibo's army numbered 100,000 people. I wonder how many troops you are here to lead?"

As soon as he said this, Ding Yuan's face turned red. He paused for a long time and finally managed to hold in his words.

"five hundred."

"what?!"

Not only was Wang Kuang shocked, but Wang Yun's hand holding the cup shook:
"Five hundred? With just a few people, Jianyang (original word for Ding) has really picked up a hot potato."

How could Ding Yuan not know? But what can he do.

If the imperial court still had troops available, it would not have asked all the prefectures and counties to recruit troops to protect themselves. However, Ding Yuan was not desperate:
"A certain person has ordered the annexation of nine counties in the state, and sent 500 soldiers from each county. They will just wait for Taiyuan to retreat indiscriminately and the roads will be clear, and then they will gather here.

By then, there will be 5000 people in the army. As long as the governor of Wang County allows him to recruit more soldiers, even if he is not aggressive enough, it will be more than enough to defend the city.

There is no harm in completing the tasks of the court. "

"I'm afraid Ding Shijun's number will be somewhat reduced."

Wang Yun handed over some letters:
"Here is a message from Taiyuan. Among them, Xihe and Shangjun have fallen into the hands of Hu, and there are reports of enemy information from Wuyuan in Shuofang. I am afraid that only five counties are left who are capable of responding to the envoy."

"Has the situation in Bingzhou deteriorated to this point?"

Ding Yuan clenched his fists. He knew that it would be difficult to merge with the state, but this was several times worse than the information he gave during his report the day before yesterday.

“But it’s not without good news.”

Wang Yun cupped his hands and said slowly
"The chaos in Taiyuan has been put down. Wang here would also like to congratulate Jianyang for discovering an incredible young hero."

"Young hero?" Ding Yuan was stunned for a moment and understood immediately.

This is Wang Yun recommending candidates to him.

Well, he, Ding Yuan, had just taken office and didn't know anyone. He discovered something, and he must be a member of the Wang family.

As a member of a poor family, he was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou. Although he was not planning to go to Taiyuan for the time being, he had to give face to these prominent local families.

Hey, I just didn’t expect that this well-known Prince Master would be exempt from this kind of thing:

"I wonder which young man from the Wang family he is? Master Zi said it's okay, so someone will transfer him to the Governor's Mansion."

Wang Yun laughed:
"Jianyang has misunderstood. This person is not the nephew of our clan, but a young man from Qi County, who is now the commander of the Bingzhou Army."

Yes, when Su Yao didn't know it, his black account problem was solved naturally before it caused any trouble to him.

Now Su Yao has become a good son of a good family in Qixian County. This is the power of aristocratic families.

"Commander of Bingzhou Army?"

Ding Yuan took the document from Wang Yun again, glanced at it and exclaimed:
"Hey, is this recommended by the Wang family and the three elders of the township and county in Qi County? Su Yao, at a young age? This guy has so much face."

"It's not that he has a lot of face"

Wang Yun shook his head with a complicated expression.

"That's why my son has outstanding military exploits, and what he does is extraordinary."

“It gives you such a high evaluation”

Wang Kuang was curious
“Where else can a village chief go?”

Yes, a village chief can only make up to 50 people. What can he do in this mess?
You must know that Prince Wang Yun is not an ordinary person. Although he has been removed from office, it is precisely because this person is proud and would rather risk his official career than go against the eunuchs. .

Before that, he had been serious, starting from the grassroots level in Bingzhou and working all the way to the central government. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou and personally went into battle to pacify the ruthless Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou.

Such a person, who is usually rarely seen to say a soft word, now thinks so highly of this little village chief?
Ding Yuan looked really suspicious when he heard that.

“It’s up to you to see the specifics of Jianyang yourself.”

After Wang Yun handed over the final information, he closed his eyes and remained silent.

If he hadn't repeatedly confirmed that the handwriting was indeed unintentional by his clan brother, he would have regarded this recommendation as nonsense.

How could there be such an outrageous thing in the world.

"More than eighty people flew to capture Huanglu Fort?!"

"Less than a group of troops gathered together to annihilate three thousand barbarians?!"

"Using one's own strength to kill generals, capture flags, break formations, ascend first, and capture the city?!"

"Prince Master! Do you dare to protect your name for the contents of this document?!"

To protect one's name means to guarantee it.

After reading the document, Ding Yuan's face flushed, while Wang Kuang covered his lips and remained silent. If Wang Yun hadn't sent this in person, they would have regarded it as a not-so-funny story.

But even so, it is extremely difficult to make them believe such outrageous things.

Does Wang Yun dare to vouch for it?
The answer is of course no, how could he risk his reputation for such a thing without seeing it with his own eyes.

"If what the relatives of the Yun clan say is true, in the next two days, your petition for merit and the detailed battle report from the Governor's Office should be arriving. If it is true or false, Jianyang will know it at a glance."

Seeing that the ball was kicked back to him, Ding Yuan had no choice but to solemnly say that he would verify the situation and verify his military exploits as soon as possible.

"If this boy named Su really has such miraculous skills, Ding will definitely recommend it to the court with all his strength. This is a rare talent for me, a big man, right now!"

Of course, what he didn't say was that if this matter was false, it would be the biggest scandal, and he would have to deal with it carefully.
