"Bongxian, stop!"

At the end of the twenty-third round, a loud shout from not far away stopped the battle, which so far seemed to be evenly matched.

A thin general, but with a beard, rode his horse to the front of the formation. This person's eyes glared at him, giving people a sense of not being angry and arrogant. People with a little bit of eyes can know at a glance that this Han general is by no means an idle person.

Behind this person, followed by several generals. One of the generals is Zhang Yang, who has just fought Guan Yu not long ago.

Seeing Lu Bu, who had always been extremely arrogant, was called by this person, he obediently retreated behind this person, and his arrogant heart realized a little. This posture, in the current state land, only one person can do it. That's ......

"I'm Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan, you go and inform your Captain Zhang, just say I'm waiting here!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qiang naturally had no choice but to take a step forward and identify himself:

"I'm arrogant. Ding and Zhou, a long-term name! ”

In ancient times, when officials talked to each other, they often referred to each other by the official position held by someone. For example, Mr. Kong Rong, who made pears, was called "Kong Beihai" by the people of the time. The famous Liu Daer was also once called "Liu Yuzhou" because he served as the "Yuzhou Mu".

"Oh?"

Ding Yuan's bushy face showed a strange expression, which probably meant surprise:

"I have long heard that although Zhang Taixing has a brilliant record, he is young. But I really can't imagine that Zhang Taihang is so young? ”

The ancients respected the elderly. So, it's not a good thing to say that a person looks young. Usually the meaning contained in it will be a little derogatory such as "hairless on the mouth, not firm in work". Ding Yuan blurted out this sentence, reacted immediately, and hurriedly added:

"Zhang Taihang looks very good at the style of Ganluo back then!"

Gan Luo is a famous prodigy politician, and there is a folk legend of "worshipping the prime minister at the age of twelve". Ding Yuan's words probably wanted to praise his arrogance. However, this Bingzhou assassin forgot that Gan Luo died very early, and he was not an auspicious person.

However, will Zhang Qiang \ be able to \ care about these things with Ding Yuan?

"Ding and Zhou have won the prize! I don't know that Ding and Zhou came from afar, it's rude! ”

The subordinates of the two sides were still fighting to the death on the side just now, but as soon as the leaders of the two armies met, they were extremely polite to each other. This is the wonder of diplomacy.

Ding Yuan was greeting Zhang Mad, and he was shocked in his heart.

As a native of Taishan, Yanzhou, there is naturally an indispensable connection between Ding Yuan and his hometown. As early as the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" a few years ago, he had heard of the name of arrogance.

Originally, the post of assassin of Bingzhou was not Ding Yuan, but Zhang Yi, a celebrity. However, in early March of this year, the Xiongnu rebels defeated Zhang Yi, who led the army to quell the rebellion, in a battle. Poor Zhang Damingshi, who has always been eloquent, has less than one-tenth of his eloquence in the ability to use soldiers, and he can't use words to save his life from the sword of the Huns, and was finally beheaded by the Huns and the Tu Brothers.

Accompanied by Zhang Yi's war, in addition to the Xihe County Shouxing Ji, there were more than 3,000 elite people in the Bingzhou Division. After this battle, there were almost no available troops in Bingzhou for a while, but the Southern Xiongnu and Tu people were wantonly plundered, and the harvest was not small. The entire Han clan in Xihe and Wuyuan County was almost ransacked by those rebellious barbarians.

With such chaos, the Han family naturally made the imperial court extremely angry. And the situation of merging states, which is close to erosion, also makes the children of the famous families of the major families silent, and they dare not take on this tricky errand. There were even a few officials who had been appointed to local positions in the prefecture and refused to take office on the pretext of excuses.

If it weren't for the fact that the new Xiongnu could not convince the public due to prestige alone, and the Huns and Tu everyone fell out because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, I am afraid that not only the two counties of Xihe Wuyuan, but also Taiyuan, Yanmen, Dingxiang and other counties will inevitably fall under the hooves of the Huns.

In a hurry, the general He Jin made all his efforts to chayexschayexs. recommended, and the imperial court let Ding Yuan, who was not of high background but quite brave, urgently take up the post of assassin in the state in order to suppress the Xiongnu rebels.

Ding Yuan also lived up to expectations, as soon as he arrived, he vigorously recruited the heroes of the state, and was rewarded by Lu Bu, Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao, Mu Shun and other heroes of the state, and within a month, he pulled up a new army of 3,000 people. Relying on this new army, Ding Yuan successfully repelled several Xiongnu cavalry that came to plunder, and initially stabilized the situation in the annexed state.

Ding Yuan's prominence is because of his bravery. Therefore, Ding Yuan has always paid great attention to the brave people in his hometown. Ding Yuan also heard the story of Zang Ba robbing prison to save his father at the age of eighteen. If there is a chance, Ding Yuan doesn't mind, help the juniors in the same county, and clear the charge of that insignificant.

However, there was a strange "Tianping Army" that only stayed in Taishan County for two or three months, and recruited all the most brave young "rangers" in the county. Among them, there is even the "filial son" Zang Ba, whom Ding Yuan admires very much.

With such a play, when Ding Yuan heard that the leader of the "Taixing Army" on the border between Bingzhou and Jizhou was called "Zhang Mad", he immediately associated the leader of the "Tianping Army" with "Zhang Madness". The detailed [spy] inquiry afterwards also confirmed Ding Yuan's guess.

Because, in the Taixing army, there is also a super fierce general, called Zang Ba.

Therefore, Ding Yuan's understanding of the situation up and down the Taixing Army actually surpassed that of Jizhou Thorn Shi Wang Fen, who had fought with the Taixing Army many times. Although those understandings are mostly superficial.

Who would always stare at a nameless thief nestled in the mountains and rarely come out to provoke trouble?

It was only after the Taixing Army sent troops to Hanoi last year to demonstrate the combat effectiveness of the army that the Han family had a trace of interest in understanding the Taixing Army. However, as the Taixing Army took the path of "Ten Standing Servants", after successfully recruiting An, people's interest in them automatically disappeared a lot.

This meeting with the Taixing Army was actually from the former Yuzhou Assassin Wang Yun in the middle, wanting to let the Taixing Army and the Bingzhou Army work together to break the rebels of the Southern Xiongnu.

Between Ding Yuan and Wang Yun, one is a martial artist and the other is a scholar, and there was no friendship. However, as a history of the state assassination, Ding Yuan knows very well how strong the latent power of famous families is in the local area. If Ding Yuan wants to make a difference in Bingzhou, he must find a way to win over the scholars in Bingzhou.

However, Wang Yun is currently the one with the loudest reputation and the highest prestige in Bingzhou. If there is a word from Wang Yun, Ding Yuan will have to save at least three points of effort to govern and merge the state. With such a layer of cause and effect, if Wang Yun is the case, Ding Yuan must give some face.

In addition, Ding Yuan was not from a high background, and he also had a secret compassion for the Yellow Turban Army uprising organized and participated by low-level scholars. After thinking about it, Ding Yuan agreed to the proposal brought by Wang Yun. Anyway, if the Taixing Army wants to play any tricks, the Bingzhou Division under Ding Yuan, as a landlord, will naturally not be afraid of the Taixing Army as a "guest army".

However, today's three battles between Lu Bu and the generals of the Taixing Army made Ding Yuan feel a little uneasy.

As far as Ding Yuan knew, the most famous generals in the Taixing Army were Zang Ba, a native of Huaxian County, Taishan, and Dian Wei, a native of Chen Liu. If these two people came forward and fought with Lu Bu with a win-loser, Ding Yuan would certainly be a little surprised, but he would also be unimpressed.

However, the generals of the Taixing Army who fought today were three unknown young generals!

Such a result made Ding Yuan and Ding Jianyang's minds begin to have some doubts.

――In a group of yellow turban remnants, it is actually Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?

-- If you are arrogant and have bad intentions, then there is something ......

With the generation of doubts, Ding Yuan's attitude towards arrogance was a lot more attentive.

In any case, after a fight, the relationship between the Taixing Army and the Bingzhou Division has actually become a lot closer. There is a saying that "if you don't fight, you can't make a deal". The soldiers on both sides recognized each other's strength, and their attitudes towards each other slowly became peaceful.

Of course, the real thoughts of the top brass of the two armies are another matter.

When the two sides met for the first time, they rubbed hard just now. In such a situation, there are undoubtedly many things that are not suitable for opening. Therefore, Ding Yuan and Zhang Qi did not have a deep conversation with each other.

exchanged a few words with Ding Yuan, and after recognizing the person, the two sides dispersed. Zhang arrogantly convened the generals to comment on today's affairs. Tai Shici, who shined in the arrows and won a lot of admiring eyes, actually went against the usual norm of silence, and was the first to speak, saying:

"Ding Yuan took precautions against our army."

Lejin didn't care about this, and said casually:

"He should have been on guard."

Tai Shi Ci rarely expresses his opinions on weekdays. However, I don't know what stimulated me today, but I actually explained to you seriously:

"As we all know, Ding Yuan is famous for riding and shooting, and he became the assassin of the state. However, at the beginning of today, when Ding Yuan first appeared, his war horse did not carry a bow and arrow! ”

Most of the people present did not notice this kind of detail. Zhang Mad thought to himself, Tai Shi Ci deserves to be a shooter, and at the first glance of people, he pays special attention to whether others have brought bows and arrows.

"This shows that Ding Yuan didn't really care much about our army at the beginning."

Seeing that everyone nodded yes, Tai Shici continued:

However, when meeting with the lord, Ding Yuan's left hand always held the horse's bridle. As long as his hand is gently moved to the right, the war horse will obediently turn in a large circle and run back to the formation. ”

"That's normal, isn't it?"

Le Jin gestured this action with his hand and said:

"We, cavalry, this is normal. No, there's something wrong......"

"If it's always like this, your hands get tired easily!"

Tai Shi Ci explained to everyone in detail:

"Unless he is extremely vigilant in his heart, he doesn't have to be so nervous about the posture of holding the horse's bridle!"
