Qin Xiaobai left satisfiedly after inspecting this stronghold, which had been developed into a small town in the South Taihang Mountains.

Before leaving, Qin Xiaobai also left Zhang Niujiao here, let Zhang Niujiao preside over the diplomatic affairs of the town, and asked him to come forward to contact Zhang Yan in the North Taihang Mountain on his behalf.

Strive to reach an alliance with the Black Mountain thieves, so that the north and south Taihang Mountains form a corner.

If this plan can be successful, then the South Taihang Mountains will retreat to defend each other, and they can attack Huguan together, if they are used well, to block the Huguan fortress in the north and south, and even change the strategic trend of the entire state at a critical moment.

Subsequently, Qin Xiaobai led the soldiers and horses into Huguan, although Huguan was burned by Qin Xiaobai during the war of annexing the state, and the fire lasted for several days.

But after all, Huguan is a historical pass, which can not be easily burned, and now after several months of repair, it has completely restored the glory of the former Xiongguan.

After passing the Huguan Pass and entering the border of the Bingzhou Territory, Qin Xiaobai immediately received two invitation letters, which were sent by the Bingzhou Thorn Shi Ding Yuan and the Bingzhou Players Conference.

If Qin Xiaobai wanted to return to Yanmen County, he had to pass through Taiyuan County, and he happened to have something important to look for them, so he was invited to Jinyang City.

"Xiaobai, the old man really didn't misunderstand you, he actually cut off Zhang Jiao, killed Zhang Bao, and broke the reputation of the Yellow Turban Army all over the world, and now he is even named the general of Pingbei and the protector of Beisai, even the old man is beyond his reach."

After coming to Jinyang City, Qin Xiaobai first went to visit Ding Yuan, and after being informed for a while, Ding Yuan actually personally went out to assassinate the Shifu to greet him, and after welcoming Qin Xiaobai into the mansion, Ding Yuan set up a banquet to entertain Qin Xiaobai, and personally poured wine for Qin Xiaobai during the banquet, and said very kindly.

Ding Yuan is far away in Bingzhou, and he doesn't know the open and secret battles in the court, but he only knows that Qin Xiaobai is actually young, and he has already been named a marquis and a general, and he is extremely expected to become the next Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty.

And Ding Yuan thinks that he has the grace to recommend Qin Xiaobai, and Qin Xiaobai will naturally not forget him when he soars. Therefore, Qin Xiaobai was even more wooed.

"Where is Lord Thorn Shi, Xiao Bai was brought up by Lord Thorn Shi, and now even if he is protected by the Northern Governor, it is also a blessing for Lord Thorn Shi. In the future, Xiaobai still has many places to rely on Lord Thorn Shi, and I hope that the adults can take more care. ”

Qin Xiaobai did not act arrogant at all, but gave Ding Yuan a lot of face.

Although it is said that the Northern Saidu Protectorate is only nominally subordinate to the Ministry of Assassination and History, in fact it has a great deal of autonomy, and can neither listen to the tune nor the announcement. However, after all, the Northern Sedu Protectorate is closely related to the state, and if it is stiff, it will not be good for both sides.

Moreover, when the plot of Dong Zhuo's chaos in Luoyang begins, there are only two people in the world who can have the right to lead troops into Beijing.

One is Dong Zhuo, and the other is naturally Ding Yuan, if you want to participate in or even influence this historical plot full of opportunities when the time comes, it is naturally essential to have a good relationship with Ding Yuan.

"Hahaha, the old man can't afford it."

Ding Yuan saw Qin Xiaobai giving him face like this, and thought in his heart that this was a sign of his success in winning over Qin Xiaobai. Therefore, he is even more enthusiastic about Qin Xiaobai.

And Qin Xiaobai, if he is engaged in a relationship, he will not forget to take this opportunity to ask Ding Yuan for benefits or something.

If there is anything Qin Xiaobai wants in Ding Yuan's hands, it is none other than the tens of millions of Bingzhou army, as well as Lu Bulu Fengxian, the first god of war of the Three Kingdoms under Ding Yuan, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, two equally powerful historical generals.

But Qin Xiaobai also knew that he wanted to dig these two things from Ding Yuan's hands. Obviously impossible.

So Qin Xiaobai retreated to the next best place, and asked Ding Yuan for the county orders and guards of Guangwu County and Yanmen Pass, two important places, on the grounds of garrisoning troops.

After Qin Xiaobai was promoted to the protector of the Northern Sai Capital, Guangwu County was no longer under his control. But how can you spit out the meat that you eat in your mouth.

Although it is said that with the deep-rooted forces that he is now in Guangwu County, he can completely elevate the new county order, but there will inevitably be some troubles and twists and turns, so he simply asked for the post of Guangwu county commander.

As for the Yanmen Pass guard, it is even more important, when he wants to recover the four counties of Saibei in the future. Whether it is sending troops, reinforcements, transporting grain, or retreating, they all need to go through Yanmen Pass, and when the time comes, the guards of Yanmen Pass, let alone deliberately find faults, as long as there is a slight negligence, it may cause immeasurable losses to Qin Xiaobai.

Therefore, this important place must be in your own hands.

As for the candidates for the county order and the guard, Qin Xiaobai recommended Zhang Lang and Cao Liang respectively.

Zhang Lang was originally the commander of Guangwu County, but now it is easier for the official to be reinstated, and the Guangwu County Decree is just an empty shelf anyway, and the actual rulers are all Princess Taiping, so there is no need to mind who it is.

As for Yanmen Pass, Qin Xiaobai originally wanted to let the territory, such as Hua Mulan, Mu Guiying, and Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, who are about to grow up, and other historical celebrities.

But let the historical generals in the territory come out to hold official positions, and this conspicuous behavior is easier to expose.

Moreover, the historical generals in the territory have no qualifications in the imperial court, and it may be difficult to pass the imperial court to rashly serve as the guard of such an important pass as Yanmen Pass.

And Cao Liang is different, Cao Liang once served as a commander under Cao Cao, although this position is completely out of the stream, but it can be regarded as a member of the imperial court system, and he has military merits in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so it is also easier to promote.

Moreover, after Cao Liang himself used Ma Yuanyi's card, he also had the attributes of a purple-level historical general, and his strength was enough to hold this position.

As for its training of tigers and leopards, there will be no delay, and it is completely possible to train tigers and leopards to ride while guarding the Yanmen Pass.

When the time comes, you can also get close, and often take the tiger and leopard to attack some small tribes of the Huns or something, to increase the actual combat experience of the tiger and leopard ride.

Therefore, Cao Liang is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate among the talents under Qin Xiaobai at present.

As for Bingzhou Thorn Shi Ding, he has jurisdiction over six counties and nearly 100 counties, and just one Guangwu County is nothing.

Yanmen Pass is even more of a burden, in order to prevent the Xiongnu from going south, he has to send a large army all year round, and where Gao Shun will be guarded.

Now Qin Xiaobai is the person he wants to try his best to woo, so seeing that Qin Xiaobai is going to take over, he naturally has no opinion on this.

So Ding Yuandang agreed to Qin Xiaobai, and immediately wrote a letter of recommendation, and handed it over to Qin Xiaobai along with the official seal of Yanmen Gate.

This made Qin Xiaobai extremely happy, while looking forward to the new territory, the old territory would not be lost, so he would have no worries. (To be continued.) )
