When Wei Tao arrived at Yanmen Pass again, he immediately found that it was a little different, the sergeants who came and went did not have the casualness of Wei Xu when he presided, and they were all energetic and completely different.

When Wei Tao came to the Yanmen Mansion again, he saw that there was a tight defense outside, and although the guards outside the door seemed ordinary, there was a superior look in their eyes.

"You are the county lieutenant of Mayi? Your Excellency has already instructed you to go in directly. As for the others, wait outside! ”

Hearing this, Wei Tao was stunned in his heart, but he had a little understanding.

I'm afraid that at this time, it is no longer Wei Xu who is presiding over Yanmen Pass.

Sure enough, when Wei Tao walked into the mansion, he saw a person sitting in the lobby, holding a scroll in his hand, and reciting silently.

There is another person behind Ding Yuan, with a tiger on his back, holding a halberd, majestic and awe-inspiring, no one dares to look at him, who is not Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian?

As for the rest, there is no one, just comparing their identities, even Gao Shun, Wei Xu and others are obviously not qualified to be here.

"Wei Weitao of Mayi County meets your lordship."

Wei Tao didn't dare to slack off and take a few quick steps, and immediately bowed down in front of Ding Yuan.

Hearing Wei Tao's voice, Ding Yuan slowly put down the scroll in his hand, and then said with a smile.

"I didn't expect you, the county lieutenant of Mayi, to do a great thing, and I didn't spend a year to buy 2,000 good horses. Now you, a county lieutenant, have bought me 3,000 horses, which is very good! ”

Wei Tao couldn't hear what Ding Yuan meant by this, but just looking at Lu Bu's gaze at him at this time with a hint of softness, Wei Tao could understand: Ding Yuan didn't really blame.

"Adults have to teach you a lesson."

Wei Tao had nothing to say for a while, so he could only respond like this.

"Although you are making your own decisions this time, what you did when you arrived in Ma Yi is not bad. The horse bandits were all wiped out, and Ma Yi can now be regarded as enjoying a clean and peaceful side, and it is also prosperous in commerce and trade, so that the people of Ma Yi can benefit. Someone said that the acting county order is the genuine county order. ”

Speaking of this, Ding Yuan was slightly silent, and then said slowly.

"In this case, in the past, I was rewarded for my words and merits, and now I am giving you the position of a county order? Although our state is not very prosperous, there are a few counties that have great potential, and if you can manage them with peace of mind, you will definitely have a bright future in the future. ”

Ding Yuan is a bit like picking peaches.

But if you really understand, then you don't think so.

After all, Mayi is hard, and can only rely on border trade to develop, after Ding Yuan's transaction with the Xiongnu this time, there will obviously not be too many large transactions in the future, so staying in Mayi, in fact, the future is not broad.

Therefore, Ding Yuan's move is indeed ready to reward Wei Tao.

But Wei Tao hesitated for a while, and only after a while did he say slowly.

"Lord Qiyu Assassin Shi, I just want to talk to the Lord this time, after negotiating with the Huns this time, I want to resign and return to my hometown."

There is a strange meaning to say this at Wei Tao's age, but Wei Tao continues to speak regardless of it.

"As the saying goes: parents are here, not far away. Tao has been away from home for several years, and he is already a great unfilial piety, so he dare not say that he is going home to serve his parents, but he is willing to be able to live under his father's knees, and I hope that the adults can allow it. ”

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, officials were still mainly based on the election system, one of which was to promote filial piety.

I have to say that such a system does have the situation of 'showing off talents, not knowing books, showing filial piety and honesty, and living separately from the father', but it also allows some honest people to accept official positions.

In such a situation, whether it is true or not, 'filial piety' is to be respected.

If Wei Tao refuses for other reasons, then Ding Yuan can be considered disrespectful, but Wei Tao is looking forward to his parents after a long absence, so Ding Yuan not only can't stop it, but also praise it.

What's more, Wei Tao is still a little different at this time.

Strictly speaking, at this time, Wei Tao is the time to become famous, to be able to give up his position, and to go home to serve his parents under his knees, which is the act of great filial piety.

"It is human nature to leave for many years to see my parents, how can I blame it."

Sure enough, it wasn't just Ding Yuan, but Lu Bu behind Ding Yuan looked at Wei Tao with a little more kindness.

"I have heard that the reason why Ziyu is from the border is to follow the ancestor Wei Qingzhi, I thought that Ziyu was young, this has been said, and now it seems that this is not as big as it! Ziyu is even a person of filial piety, filial piety to parents, and filial piety to ancestors. ”

Who is Ding Yuan?

and the history of the state thorn, but also today's celebrities.

After getting Ding Yuan's sentence, Wei Tao is enough to be famous all over the world, and even come out as an official in the future, and ordinary official positions are recognizable.

And at this time, Ding Yuan got up and walked in front of Wei Tao to help him up, and then pulled him aside to sit down.

This is even more of a great gift, you must know that in this hall, without Ding Yuan's summons, ordinary people cannot enter, let alone sit.

Even Lu Bu can only stand behind Ding Yuan at this time, and Ding Yuan's courtesy can be seen!

"Since Ziyu is homesick, I can return on leave. When Ziyu returns, and the counties of the state, how about letting Ziyu choose? ”

At this time, Ding Yuan said again, this is a deeper level.

But Wei Tao did not mean to continue to stay in the state.

Not only is the Yellow Turban Rebellion about to start, but he also wants to stay in his home to avoid his family being harmed by him, and because Wei Tao's sense of Ding Yuan is actually not very good.

Even if Ding Yuan was indeed impressed by Wei Tao's filial piety at this time, Wei Tao felt that his words were just a matter of keeping them.

Just as Cao Pi accepted the position of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in history, he still had to resign and give up.

Now Ding Yuan's retention actually gives Wei Tao such a feeling.

Because you are a filial person and a talent, then I have to have such a posture, in fact, I don't really want to keep you.

"Thank you for your kindness, I will return home this time, I am afraid that I will not come out for a few years, if I hold this position, but I will be disappointed by the trust of my lord, but it is absolutely impossible."

Although I don't know if this is what Ding Yuan means, Wei Tao still refuses again and again.

"No matter what, everyone has their own ambitions, but I can't force ......"

After going back and forth like this a few times, Ding Yuan finally let out a long sigh.

"But Zi Yu is a person of great filial piety, so virtuous must be unacceptable, if Zi Yu does not mind, I am willing to be filial piety for the court, if so?"

"Thank you, sir."

This time, Wei Tao finally couldn't excuse himself.

Coming out of the mansion, Wei Tao finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

The matter negotiated by the Xiongnu was naturally arranged by Ding Yuan, and it was not far from Ding Yuan that it was clear that Ding Yuan attached great importance to this matter.

However, this time he was able to get Ding Yuan's promise, and Wei Tao was not a loss, it was not easy to be a 'filial piety' place, not to mention Ding Yuan's evaluation.

Regardless of whether Ding Yuan is sincere or false, since this conclusion has been made today, it will naturally be for Wei Tao in the future.

Although it may be just one or two words, it can let the world's celebrities know Wei Tao's name, and the benefits to Wei Tao in the future are inexhaustible.

"Your Excellency."

Seeing Wei Tao come out, Zhang Liao and others also followed, and in front of outsiders, Zhang Liao was still addressed as an adult.

Now that he knows that Zhang Liao has returned to his heart, Wei Tao naturally won't mind too much about it.

Naturally, this is not a place to speak, but fortunately, although it is a fortress, there is still a post station, and with Wei Tao's identity, it is not a problem to open a courtyard.

After sitting down, Wei Tao just let the others leave, leaving Zhang Liao alone, and talking about what he and Ding Yuan talked about.

"Originally, I wanted to let Wen Yuan's successor stay in Mayi, but unfortunately, Lord Assassin Shi may have already made a decision."

Wei Tao said very clearly and bluntly.

"Mayi is located on an important road, if it is dilapidated in the past, and there are not many merchants to deal with, then that's it. But now, I'm afraid that Lord Assassin Shi sees it as a channel that can continuously obtain excellent war horses, and I'm afraid that he can't do it unless he is a henchman. ”

Wei Tao can also guess Ding Yuan's approach, after all, he gave him the best example.

Indeed, after this large-scale transaction, the Xiongnu can solve the temporary urgency, but in the future, Ding Yuan is afraid that he will be more tightly involved in the Xiongnu trade, wantonly suppressing the price of inferior horses, and forcing the Xiongnu to trade with good horses.

With Lu Bu in hand, Ding Yuan was even more fearless in doing this.

"I don't know what Lu Daowen Yuan plans to do now? If Wen Yuan wants to, I would like to guarantee that Wen Yuan can take any position in the state. ”

Wei Tao's words were not a temptation, but a clear and straightforward statement.

"If Wen Yuan is willing to return to Chen with me, I can only entrust one of the captains to accompany me. But I can guarantee Wenyuan that I will never fail Wenyuan's ability in the future, so that Wenyuan can show his strengths and do his best for the country! ”

Zhang Liao's heart is also hot, after all, Zhang Liao is just a teenager today, and being able to gain the trust of others is the most valuable.

"I have long recognized Ziyu as the master, where Ziyu goes, where Wenyuan goes, the ends of the world, I don't lose it!"

"Good! I will live up to you, and you will live up to me! ”

Although he had expected it in his heart, hearing Zhang Liao's own words, Wei Tao couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

Wei Tao and Zhang Liao are both simple people, and since they have already decided, they naturally won't say much from their mother-in-law.

However, soon Zhang Liao left the post station and returned to Mayi overnight.

But this time, in addition to the previous things, Wei Tao still got a promise from Ding Yuan, as long as Wei Tao was with him, he could leave with him.

You must know that the hundred cavalry in Lu Dao took Wei Tao nearly a year to build, except for the horses, the rest should be paid by Wei Tao, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the private soldiers of the Wei family.

In fact, nearly one-third of them were indeed private soldiers of the Wei family and the Zhang family.

Of course, if you want to take those horses with you, then Wei Tao wants to make up the commercial tax of Ma Yi this year.

This is also a benefit given by Ding Yuan, otherwise where would there be such a good thing.

There is a lot of business tax in a year, but Chen Liuwei's family is also strong, enough to accept all a hundred good horses.
