Chapter 173: Xu Ding and Ding Yuan's Plans

Cao Cao looked at Xu Ding.

He naturally looked forward to the horse's head.

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

Xu Ding gave Cao Cao a look back, and then said: "What Ding Tingshi said is reasonable, Wuyuan County must not be lost, otherwise the entire Bingzhou will be more turbulent, and the imperial court is now mainly investing in Liangzhou, if the turmoil in the Bingzhou is further expanded, the imperial court will be even more unstable." ”

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

However, he was a little too happy, only to hear Xu Ding continue: "But...... Although it is important to gallop to aid Wuyuan, it is not necessary to transfer all soldiers and horses, according to Lord Ding, the Xiongnu is divided into two parts, one part of the north to attack Wuyuan, part of the south to attack Xihe County, covet Hedong County, and it is even possible to cross the Fenhe Valley Road to kill Taiyuan County, so we should also be divided into two parts, one to aid Wuyuan County, and one part to enter Xihe County to break the enemy, otherwise the Xiongnu rebellion is afraid to 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 to protect Wuyuan County, and then pull all the soldiers to Wuyuan to fight a protracted war with the Huns.

From the perspective of the history of the assassination of the state, this is advantageous, first, he can stabilize his position in the history of the assassin, and second, he can use the five plains as a battlefield to train soldiers, constantly enhance 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, and even if there was a chance to fight back, it would only be a hundred and ten miles deep into the land occupied by the Huns.

The Xiongnu were nomadic peoples, and although they lived in Shuofang, the northern part of Shangjun, and the north of the Xihe River, they could migrate.

It is completely possible for the enemy to advance and retreat, stretch the depth, and let the Han army attacking Wuyuan return in vain, and then make a comeback every year, which is too annoying.

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

Xu Ding and others were guest soldiers, and they came to Bingzhou to help, and the war was unstable.

It is impossible for them to give Ding Yuan a free long-term job, so Xu Ding doesn't want to be the wronged leader.

Ding Yuan saw that Xu Ding's young man was not so easy to fool, and then said: "I'm afraid it's not good, this part of the Huns who are plundering south is now quite restrained, and they are not going south, if our army takes the initiative to attack them, it will provoke them to continue to go south in disguise, which will make Hedong and Taiyuan County fall into war and expand the war." ”

Xu Dao shook his head: "Otherwise, the reason why the Huns didn't go south to Hedong and east to Taiyuan was because they had just invaded the central and southern parts of Xihe County, and they hadn't digested the plundered fruits, or they were distributing benefits."

Once they stabilize these places, they will continue to try to move south, do we have to wait for them to grow stronger and invade the south before we passively defend? ”

Ding Yuan was not easy to refute for a while.

Because this is not easy to accept, it will lead to criticism and slander reputation.

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

If you want to sit firmly in the position of assassin history, you must have enough fame, and you can't lose money.

In the past, Ding Yuan was a reckless martial artist who fought and killed, and the family did not look down on him, he would only treat him like a family dog, if you want to get their approval, you have to blend into the family circle and stand in their circle to think and deal with problems.

"Bo Kang's words are reasonable, which reminds Cao of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu is fighting the Huns all his life, and every time he sends troops, he has the initiative, which reverses the disadvantage of my Han being passively beaten in one fell swoop." Cao Cao also figured out Ding Yuan's small measurement, so he naturally wanted to stand in the same boat as Xu Ding and agree with his words.

Cao Cao also stood on Xu Ding's side, the Cao family is a big family, and the relationship between the DPRK and China is close, Ding Yuan wants to change from a cold family to a family and integrate into it, so naturally it is not good to offend more, so he does not refute, only asks:

"And what are your plans?"

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

Xu Ding thought for a while and said: "I think we should divide the troops, my Donglai army came from afar to merge with the state and the soldiers of the state have not been run-in, and mixing together is not conducive to commanding the battle, so Lord Ding can take most of the troops to Wuyuan County to help, and Meng De and I took 8,000 people out of the Zi clan and entered Xihe County to take the initiative to find and kill the enemy." ”

Cao Cao praised: "Take the defensive position in the north to contain the Huns, attract the attention of the Huns, and take the offensive in the south to kill the enemy, wonderful!" ”

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

What a fart.

The two of you sing and harmonize, and the cooperation is wonderful.

In this way, he suddenly lost the opportunity to command Xu Ding and the other 8,000 soldiers and horses, how could he let these 8,000 people stay in Bingzhou as cannon fodder.

It was not that Xu Ding and Cao Cao were trying to figure out Ding Yuan excessively, but that once they followed Ding Yuan and were driven by the general trend, they would inevitably form a unified commander.

At that time, it was Ding Yuan, the assassin Shilai, who was the commander-in-chief, or Xu Ding, the Marquis of Weihai.

Neither side is willing to do so, so it's better to march separately.

This time it's not in Youzhou, and Ding Yuan is not Liu Yu, so it's not so easy to talk.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll take the army north to aid Wuyuan, I will buy time for you and attract the attention of the Huns, hoping that the two can win and kill more enemy chieftains." Ding Yuan said perfunctorily, his face showed lacklustreness, and he had the intention of sending off guests, and he lost his original enthusiasm.

Xu Ding and Cao Cao glanced at each other, clenching their fists and saying it was too late.

Leaving Ding Yuan's Assassin's Mansion, Cao Cao asked: "Bokang, we have disobeyed Ding Yuan as soon as we came, will it form an obstacle to us to quell the Xiongnu." ”

In fact, Cao Cao was a little disappointed, before he came, he had heard about Ding Yuan's previous actions, and felt that Ding Yuan should be a promising cadre, but after the conversation, he found that Ding Yuan seemed to be very selfish.

And they are actually wary and plotted.

Although Ding Yuan's performance was not obvious, it still made him feel uncomfortable.

Xu Ding glanced back at the Assassin Mansion and said: "The obstacle is not enough, Ding Yuan must be happy to see the elimination of the Xiongnu Rebellion, but I maliciously speculate that he has no intention of completely exterminating the Xiongnu, and even has the idea of maintaining the current state of affairs." ”

Yang Kou self-respect, this word was originally intended to be given to Dong Zhuo who was in Liangzhou to quell the chaos, but now I feel that it can also be given to Ding Yuan.

Why did Ding Yuan only focus on Wuyuan County and not rush to recover Xihe County, wasn't he afraid that the Huns would directly enter Taiyuan from Xihe County?

On the contrary, he wished that the Huns would invade south or east from Xihe County.

Because Taiyuan was directly threatened in this way, he could continue to expand his army openly and honestly, and stationed his troops in Taiyuan County.

Think about a knife outside, there is a knife inside, what kind of attitude the family of Taiyuan County will have towards him Ding Yuan, he must give in and accept it, otherwise Ding Yuan can kill the family in Taiyuan by the hand of the Huns, and he can also kill this family by his head.
