Once Ding Yuan returned to his true character, the efficiency of his work was very high, and he quickly put the Ma family into obedience, and despite the opposition of the Ma family, he forcibly married the second daughter Ding Feng to Lu Bu.

In this regard, although Ding Feng was dissatisfied with being small, she had actually admired Lu Bu since she was a child, so after crying for two days, she half-pushed and half-agreed.

After some simple preparations, on the fifth day, Lu Bu announced his wedding. However, because the concubine is not being married by the Ming media, the wedding is relatively low-key.

The Ding family also invited a total of twenty or thirty people, all of whom came to Bingzhou, including the head of the Ma family in Taiyuan, Ma Pu.

"General Ding, the Baibo army has been making a lot of trouble recently, it has captured many county seats, and it will soon threaten Taiyuan, and I am willing to ask the general to send troops to suppress it as soon as possible." Ma Pu said with a melancholy face.

"Yes, general, that Guo Taiyang Feng and others were originally the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and after they flowed to our state, they grew rapidly, and now there are more than 30,000 people, known as the 'Baibo Army', attacking cities and conquering all kinds of evil, and please make a decision as soon as possible!" Another rich gentleman also said.

As soon as the two opened their mouths, many people began to echo.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, I already know about this, and after Feng'er gets married, I will send troops to suppress the rebellion!" Ding Yuan smiled calmly.

It has not been a day or two since the Yellow Turbans were in rebellion, and all localities were shouting "exterminate the Yellow Turbans" every day, but with little success.

Because the Yellow Turban Army is extremely good at fighting in the mountains and forests, once it encounters the liquidation of the army, it will go deep into the mountains and old forests, break into pieces, and disappear.

Most of the imperial court's armies are good at plain warfare, so let them charge into battle, and it is okay to conquer the city, but if they are replaced by going into the mountains to suppress bandits, the effect is not ideal.

This kind of thing has long been commonplace, so he is not in a hurry.

"White Bo Army? Yang Feng? ”

Ding Xiao's eyes lit up on the side.

After the defeat of Guo Tai, the leader of the White Wave Army, Yang Feng accepted Zhao'an and became Dong Zhuo's subordinate.

And Xu Huang was originally under Yang Feng's account, and it was not until Dong Zhuo's death that he was used by Cao Cao.

"Fortunately, I recruited Xu Huang one step ahead, otherwise, after Xu Huang voted for Yang Feng, I would have had a hard time recruiting Xu Huang again." Ding Xiao's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness.

"As for this Yang Feng's Bai Bo Army...... If you recruit an now, it will become a Han army, and if He Jin gives an order, this army is likely to be confiscated. ”

The Bai Bo Army was originally a member of Bingzhou, and it had long been regarded as his own private army by Ding Xiao, so he was naturally reluctant to hand it over to others, so he was a little reluctant to take risks at this time, "Besides, the Bai Bo Army only has more than 30,000 people now, which is not fat enough...... Then let them develop for a while longer, and wait until there are changes in Beijing, and then it's not too late to co-opt. ”

After making up his mind, he moved his eyes to the head of the Ma family, Ma Pu.

This Ma Pu is middle-aged, he is Ma's own brother, and he is also the new head of the family after Ding Yuan's father-in-law.

"Hehe, the expenses of this Baibo army in the future will fall on the shoulders of you rich gentry!"

Thinking of this, he stood up and bowed, "Father, the child is willing to recommend one person to his father, and with him on the horse, he will definitely be able to repel the Baibo army and relieve the worries of Taiyuan!" ”

"Oh?"

All the guests came to see it in unison.

"Hehe, this is the dog Ding Xiao."

Ding Yuan was very happy to introduce his son to everyone, so he nodded at Ding Xiao and said, "Xiao'er, you say." ”

"Yes!"

Ding Xiao bowed again, and then said with a smile, "Although there are more than 30,000 people in the Baibo army, they are all rabble, and my father only needs to send the new commander Xu Huang to lead the headquarters to retreat from the enemy!" ”

"What? Headquarters? Isn't that just a thousand? ”

"One thousand against thirty thousand, this, can this work?"

"And that new commander, does he have any experience in leading troops to fight? Isn't that child's play? ”

As soon as the rich gentry heard Ding Xiao's suggestion, they all opened their mouths to express their doubts, and even Ding Yuan frowned slightly.

"Xiao'er, what do you mean by that?"

"Father."

Ding Xiao glanced at Ding Yuan unhurriedly, then shook his head and sighed, "If there is a big chaos today, the imperial court will not pay the military salary for a long time, and it is all up to our Ding family to pay for it ourselves, and the soldiers of the three armies will be hungry and full...... These 1,000 military horses are already the limit of what we can take, and if there are more, I am afraid that the army will run out of food! ”

“…… Out of food? ”

Ding Yuan was slightly stunned, there was enough grain and grass in the army, enough for 30,000 horses to eat for three years, how could he say that he would run out of food?

Although he didn't understand why Ding Xiao said this, out of trust in his son, after receiving his son's eyes, he chose to follow his son's words and said, "Well, yes, yes, the food is out!" Out of food! ”

All the rich gentry were smart people, and they quickly figured out what Ding Yuan's father and son meant, and they all suddenly showed strange expressions.

"That...... Although the Bingzhou army is the army of the imperial court, what is blessed is the safety of our people in Bingzhou, how can we Bingzhou scholars watch the three armies go hungry? ”

Ma Pu, as the leader of the Bingzhou Shi clan and Ding Yuan's in-laws, has cooperated with Ding Yuan for many years, so he naturally bore the brunt of the attack at this time, and was the first to stand up and say, "My Ma family is willing to give 10,000 stone of grain to fund the three armies!" ”

"My Wang family is also willing to give 5,000 stone to the army, and I hope that General Ding can send more manpower to exterminate the Baibo army as soon as possible!"

"The Li family has three thousand stones!"

"The Zhao family's 5,000 stone ......"

These rich gentry of the noble clan are very stingy and stingy on weekdays, but now under the danger of the White Wave Army, they all go against the norm and take the initiative to donate food.

"Okay, haha, everyone has a heart!"

Ding Yuan was overjoyed, his mouth was a little smiling, and he couldn't help but cast an appreciative look at Ding Xiao.

Unexpectedly, Ding Xiao was not very satisfied with this result.

"Father, this food is only enough for the three armies to eat for one month, and our army's weapons are too old, once we reach a stalemate with the White Polish army, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue!"

"Uh, too."

The corners of Ding Yuan's mouth twitched a few times, he didn't expect his son's appetite to be so big, but he could only nod his son's meaning, "Hey, the country is in trouble, and our state army has not paid military salaries for three years, resulting in unstable morale and no morale at all...... This battle is not easy to fight! ”

As soon as they heard this, the rich gentry looked at each other and looked embarrassed.

Obviously, the father and son of the Ding family were preparing to take advantage of the chaos of the Baibo army, and the lion opened his mouth.

"General Ding, our Bingzhou clan has always supported the army, but in recent years, natural disasters have continued, and there have been yellow turban rebellions, and our family has not much food." Under the whispering instigation of everyone, Ma Pu stood up and bowed, "This is already the maximum amount we can come up with." ”

"Huh."

Without waiting for Ding Yuan to answer, Ding Xiao spoke first, "In that case, then father, let's add another thousand men to Xu Huang!" ”
