"Lao Zhou, Lao Zhou, you are still so reckless, do you know how powerful Ding Yuan is? dared to say that he had destroyed Na Ding Yuan. ”

Zhou Cang was speechless when Liu Zheng asked him this.

I could only laugh awkwardly twice and stop making a sound.

Dian Wei, who was standing on the side, spoke.

"I've heard of Na Ding Yuan."

"Oh? Dian Wei, have you actually heard of that Ding Yuan? ”

"Ding Yuan is a native of Taishan County, Yanzhou, in the early years in our county officials, honest and honest, is a good official, every time he catches a thief, he is the first to go, rushed to the front, in our very famous, but later transferred to another place, there is no news of him."

Dian Wei replied to Liu Zheng, in his words, in fact, he still had a little admiration for Ding Yuan.

"Later, he became an official in Luoyang, and then he went to Bingzhou as an assassin, and what is the place in Bingzhou, do you know? It was the most dangerous place in the Han court, often facing the invasion of the Xiongnu, and the soldiers and horses of the state, and they were also the most well-trained people in the entire Han court. ”

"And under Ding Yuan, there are several powerful generals, as far as I know, no less than you under me, so if you want to defeat Ding Yuan, it's not that simple."

Liu Zheng was not untargeted, but clearly knew how powerful Ding Yuan was, so he told Gan Ning, Zhou Cang and others.

"Better than us, I don't believe it! Even if you are better than me, can you be better than General Huang Zhong? ”

When Liu Zheng spoke, Zhou Cang expressed disbelief, and even questioned Liu Zheng's words.

"Old Zhou, don't believe it, when the two of us fight, you will be clear."

Liu Zheng didn't say much to Zhou Cang, after all, they couldn't listen to them when they said that the opponent was very strong, after all, the successive victories would always make people develop a trace of pride.

Although I don't think I'm invincible, I feel like I'm strong.

Only when they really face the strong will they understand the horror of the opponent.

Liu Zheng has not encountered too strong enemies now, although he has faced Cao Cao several times, but that is not Cao Cao's strongest strength, if it is really Cao Cao's peak state, Liu Zheng may not have the ability to escape from Cao Cao's encirclement.

In particular, now Cao Cao and Liu Zheng seem to be embarrassed and mixed together, they are two heroes, and after joining forces, it vaguely makes Liu Zheng feel bad.

But even if it's not good, the top priority is to pacify Ding Yuan first and exterminate Lu Bu.

After all, Lu Bu's house is even more tricky than Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

After the mountaineering was over, Liu Zheng asked people to start building the parade tower on this hill, the purpose is actually very simple, that is, to see the beauty of this Dongting Lake, and at the same time you can observe the military dynamics on the opposite bank.

Observe the enemy situation in wartime, and observe the beautiful scenery in quiet time.

Liu Zheng was stationed in Baling for three days and did not take the initiative to attack, although Liu Zheng was not in time, but Yuan Yao was very anxious.

Liu Zheng did not send troops, Ding Yuan did not send troops, the two sides were in a stalemate here, but the battle on Nanyang's side continued, there were 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Ding Yuan's general Zhang Liao, who had been attacking the city, and there was news in the past few days, Nanyang had lost most of the territory, and in half a month, I was afraid that Nanyang would completely fall into the hands of Zhang Liao.

Yuan Shu's people can only shrink in Runan, but fortunately, the Yuan family is the largest family in Runan, and it is okay to run Runan, and it can be stalemate for a while.

However, Yuan Yao also knew that his father Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses had been lost, and although some villagers were urgently recruited during this time, those people did not have much effect and could only barely maintain.

So within two days, Yuan Yao came to urge Liu Zheng again.

"Your Excellency."

"Yuan Yao, it's you, what's wrong?"

"When are you going to send troops? Things are not going to be good in Nanyang, and my father doesn't know how long he can hold out. ”

Yuan Yao's face was obviously a little anxious, although he was looking forward to Liu Zheng's army in the past few days, Liu Zheng only stationed troops and did not attack, so he also lost his temper.

"Yuan Yao, it's not me who sent troops, you also saw it, Ding Yuan led an army of 30,000 headquarters, stationed next to Dongting Lake, once I send troops, how to cross the river is a problem, the second question, when crossing the river, what if they cross the river halfway."

"It's not that I don't attack at the moment, but that I can help contain Ding Yuan's 30,000 army, if your father can't save himself, then I can't do anything."

Liu Zheng has done his best to achieve this level, and he can't let Liu Zheng risk the loss of his soldiers and horses to forcibly attack Ding Yuan.

Even if Yuan Yao is willing to fight, Liu Zheng is not willing, a meaningless battle has no other benefits except for the loss of troops and generals.

"This ...... This, but the two sides annexed here, it is not a way, in case Ding Yuanjia sends troops and horses to Nanyang, my father will be in danger. ”

When Yuan Yao heard Liu Zheng's words, he couldn't refute them, after all, what Liu Zheng said was also true, and if it was him Yuan Yao, it could only be like this at this time.

But Yuan Yao is not Liu Zheng after all, he needs to think about his father.

After seeing that Liu Zheng refused to send troops, he could only find a way to let Liu Zheng send troops, but he had no other way to persuade Liu Zheng.

After leaving, he quietly left Liu Zheng's army and returned to Runan.

If you want to return to Runan from Changsha, you must either pass through Jiangxia, or take a detour to take the Lujiang River.

Jiangxia can't go, but Yuan Yao can still go to Runan, and with the war horse borrowed by Liu Zheng here, he quickly returned to Runan.

Of course, Liu Zheng didn't know that Yuan Yao had left, so he continued to build his own parade building here, and at the same time let the garrison train diligently.

And Ding Yuan's side did not take the initiative to attack, as long as Liu Zheng did not move, they were willing to do so.

After occasionally sending troops and drills, Liu Zheng did not find out what kind of people Ding Yuan had.

That's it.

The two sides have been here for a little half a month.

During this period, Liu Zheng's parade building was half completed.

On this day, Yuan Yao, who had been away for half a month, suddenly appeared in Liu Zheng's camp again.

This time, he also brought a girl.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old, petite and cute girl he called his sister.

Yuan Yao, who returned to Baling, didn't do anything, and directly asked to see Liu Zheng, and the first sentence he said was to dedicate his sister to Liu Zheng.

This frightened Liu Zheng.
