After mocking Ding Yuan, Gongsun Zhan said to Gongsun Kang: "We must always pay attention to the movements of those foreign races on the grassland, lest these guys come to harm our Han people." ”

As a member of the Gongsun family, he naturally looked down on these barbarians on the grassland.

I saw Gongsun Kang nodded, and said with a smile: "This is natural, I have already sent someone." ”

A few days later, Zhang Liao had already escorted the grain and grass, and came to the south of Taiyuan to station.

After Ding Yuan learned the news, he immediately went out of Taiyuan City in person to greet Zhang Liao.

"General Zhang, don't come unharmed!" Ding Yuan arched his hand at Zhang Liao, and was in a trance for a while.

The original Zhang Liao was just a county official in Yanmen, but he was discovered by Ding Yuan and joined the army.

Until now, after Zhang Liao followed Cao Ang, his status has risen.

Although Zhang Liao is just an ordinary general now, his ability to lead troops to the battle proves Cao Ang's trust in him.

Ding Yuan faced his former subordinates, but he had to be so respectful, and it was inevitable that there was some indescribable meaning in his heart.

Zhang Liao also arched his hand at Ding Yuan and responded: "Ding Thorn History, don't come unharmed!" ”

Looking at Zhang Liao's polite appearance, Ding Yuan was instantly relieved.

After all, when Ding Yuan brought Zhang Liao out of Yanmen, he took a fancy to the other party's ability.

Now that Zhang Liao has a successful career, how can he be regarded as the other party's Bole!

After having this idea, Ding Yuan did not talk about business for the first time, but began to catch up with Zhang Liao.

When Ding Yuan felt that it was almost over, he took the initiative to speak and said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, I have one thing I want to ask you!" ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, his face became solemn, and he said to Ding Yuan: "Ding Tingshi, if there is anything, just say it directly, Liao is grateful for your kindness, and Ding Dang will go all out." ”

After getting Zhang Liao's answer, Ding Yuan also said bluntly: "Wenyuan, you also know that the current Bingzhou has been plundered by those barbarians on the grassland, resulting in the people living in poverty. ”

"Actually, I know that I am to blame for this matter, if I hadn't wanted to hide it in the first place, those barbarians would not have become so arrogant."

"Now that the state has become this situation, I am also to blame, but I am worried that the major general will punish me at the same time, but also punish those soldiers who follow me."

"I know that Wen Yuan, you are very respected under the Young General, so I want Wen Yuan to help my subordinates plead for mercy, and I hope that the Major General will only punish me and not affect others."

"Most of those people are your robes, I believe you don't want to see them punished, and the state has become such a responsibility, I am willing to bear it with all my might."

In fact, when Ding Yuan first wanted to intercede for himself, he knew Zhang Liao and knew that the other party was a person who valued love and righteousness.

If you plead for yourself as soon as you open your mouth, you will end up in inferiority.

It's better to help his subordinates intercede, so that Zhang Liao will not only agree, but also help himself intercede.

In fact, Ding Yuan really guessed correctly.

After listening to Ding Yuan's words, Zhang Liao nodded solemnly and said, "Ding Tingshi, don't worry, the young general is a kind-hearted person, I believe he won't be too harsh on you." ”

"I believe that as long as you take my former robes, fully cooperate with the young general, and go all out in this battle to sweep away the barbarians, the young general will definitely let you offset your merits and demerits, and you will not be blamed for the past."

When Ding Yuan heard this, he was relieved, he knew that since Zhang Liao had agreed to this matter, he would definitely take care of it to the end.

When the time comes, Cao Ang will punish himself, then Zhang Liao will also stand up and plead for himself.

Thinking of this, Ding Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and responded: "Okay, then I'm here, on behalf of me and my subordinates, thank you Wen Yuan in advance." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Liao hurriedly said that Ding Yuan helped him up, and said at the same time: "Ding Tingshi, you and I don't have to be so polite, if it weren't for your discernment, I'm afraid I would still be a small official in that Yanmen." ”

When Ding Yuan heard this, he shook his head with a smile: "Wen Yuan, even if I didn't take you out of Yanmen back then, someone would take you away sooner or later, after all, I heard the young general say that it is gold, and it will always shine." ”

Zhang Liao didn't want to argue about anything more in this matter, but just smiled and nodded, acquiescing to Ding Yuan's words.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they began to talk about business, and the main content of the discussion was how to deal with these grains and grass.

The grain and grass that Cao Ang sent Zhang Liao to escort far exceeded the grain and grass needed by the army for this expedition.

After all, some of them need disaster relief.

After discussing with Ding Yuan, Zhang Liao decided to transfer a part of the grain and grass to be used for disaster relief.

Ding Yuan was not ambiguous about the disaster relief, and immediately arranged for someone to implement it.

And before Ding Yuan's subordinates carried out these things, he also instructed with a serious face: "You have all listened to me, this time let you escort grain and grass to disaster relief, and be sure to distribute the grain to the hands of the victims." ”

"At the same time, you must always pay attention to the movements of those aliens on the grassland, lest the grain and grass be robbed by those guys, remember, you can die in battle, but you must not lose food!"

"In addition, there is the most important point, that is, you all give me your hands honestly in your pockets, if you let me know, who dares to stretch out their hands on these military rations, then don't blame me for not being merciful!"

After Ding Yuan shocked his subordinates, he asked them to escort the grain and grass to the disaster relief.

Of course, Ding Yuan's subordinates did not send much grain and grass, only a small part, but it was enough to save the lives of those victims.

As for the northern areas of Bingzhou, those places bordering the grasslands, Ding Yuan did not send people to escort grain and grass over.

After all, those places are too close to the grassland, and if you escort the grain and grass over, it is easy to be snatched away by the barbarians on the grassland.

The current Ding Yuan's troops are insufficient, so he can only wait for Cao Ang's army to come, and then go to the north of Bingzhou for disaster relief.

At this time, the people in the north of the state can only be moved to the south first, so that they can stay away from the war.

A few days later, Cao Ang took Cao Chun and Huang Zhong all the way north to the northern border of Bingzhou.

And Zhao Yun led the army and joined Zhang Liao. (End of chapter)
