At this time, Ding Shao also saw Lu Yao and others standing by the road waiting. He ordered to the left and right, and left the team with several followers and rushed towards Lu Yao. The rest of the troops continued to move forward without any delay.

When he got closer, Lu Yao found that the governor Ding seemed to have a sick look on his face, and his eyes were not particularly sharp. After leaving the power set off by the army, he was like an ordinary clerk. Compared with the impulse of Yue Shigong, who could make everyone around him strongly infected, Ding Shao seemed too ordinary. Because of his ordinaryness, he seemed particularly unpredictable.

"It's just acting according to the opportunity." Lu Yao said to himself.

Ding Shao dismounted several feet away from the crowd. While walking, he asked loudly: "Who is the envoy of General Liu, Bingzhou?"

"Sima, General Pingbei, and General Yamen, Lu Yao is here." Lu Yao bowed respectfully.

"It turns out to be General Lu." Ding Shao raised his eyebrows and showed a happy expression. When Lu Yao bowed, he turned sideways to show humility, and then returned the ceremony: "Although Jizhou has not experienced any wars over the years, he often heard the rumors that there was a brave and war-hardened general in Bingzhou. When he saw it today, it was indeed very rich."

"Mr. Ding really dares not take it for praise." Lu Yao hurriedly thanked.

"I am an old friend with Duke Shi of Yue. Although I haven't seen him for many years, I still miss him from time to time. I heard that the thieves in Bingzhou were rampant. He was carrying a trench under Jinyang City and was a turtle. It was very hard. But I don't know if the situation is still good?"

"Thank you for your care from Governor Ding. A proverb says: The sword is sharpened by its own sharpening. My lord should whistle the 100,000 Huns, and the heroic spirit is only better than that of the past."

Ding Shao smiled and said, "What a sword sharpening its own strength."

He turned his gaze to Shao Xu, who was standing beside Lu Yao. Shao Xu bowed to Ding Shao and said, "General Li Yun of Yecheng, Yang Heng's envoy, and Shao Xu of Anyang, has met the governor Ding."

His surname was Shao, and Ding Shao was named Shao, and the two words were common. Strictly speaking, Shao Xu violated Ding Shao's taboo when he reported his name, which was an irrespectful act at that time. Yecheng knew that the governor of Jizhou was Ding Shao, but he still sent Shao Xu as an envoy. It seemed that when facing the strong pressure of the Jisang bandits, the commander of Yecheng still lost his composure after all.

Shao Xu himself is a scholar who is well-read about classics and history and is familiar with the rules, so he will naturally not ignore this section. But looking at his free expression, Lu Yao is sure that he really did not take this matter to heart. This personality is really free and easy, and bold.

Ding Shao was also very kind and nodded slightly to Shao Xu without caring: "Mr. Sizu is a famous scholar in Wei County. When I was in office as the prefect of Guangping, I had long admired him."

Ding Miao stood beside Lu Yao with his hands down, trying his best to be strict. Ding Shao's gaze flew past him, almost never stopping for a moment, as if he had seen an ordinary passerby.

At this time, several soldiers under Ding Shao's troops rushed over with curtains, felt blankets, Hu beds and other things, and quickly built a simple resting place on the side of the road. Ding Shao stretched out his hand and pointed: "Everyone, please follow me in? Let's sit down and talk."

Lu Yao, Shao Xu and Ding Miao bowed and bowed, and then three men entered in one after another.

At this time when the army was in a trance, everyone had no intention of greetings. After a few simple conversations, they got to the point.

Lu Yao and others had already made arrangements yesterday, and it was Shao Xu who took the lead.

Everyone is an expert in military affairs. The rapid arrival of Jizhou Army not only proves that Ding Shao had his own information channels in Yecheng, but also shows that he was prepared for the army to move south. He was ready to go south, and all the troops, food, grass, weapons and other items were ready. The state governor who was supposed to be civil, but had such huge force, which was really interesting.

Faced with such a powerful governor of Jizhou, Shao Xu really had no special information to provide. His main function was to deliver official documents and complete the necessary procedures for the soldiers from prefectures and counties to suppress bandits. In fact, since Yang Heng and Li Yun, the civil and military officials in Yecheng, who were under Yang Cheng and Li Yun, did not expect Ding Shao to intervene in the Three Wei areas. However, Yecheng was lost and the situation of King Xincai's death at the hands of the thieves was too horrible. People with a little common sense knew that it was impossible to stop Ding Shao's actions at this time, so it would be better to be generous.

The two sides simply completed the procedures for handing over the documents. Ding Shao opened his letter, glanced at him, and put it at his hand: "Mr. Sizu, the situation in Wei County is like this, what are General Li Yun's plans at the moment?"

"Yecheng was captured by the enemy and King Xincai was martyred. General Li Yun was extremely sad and wished to be the leader of the tyrants in a while. However, the common people in Yecheng were eager to appease, and the army was short of food, fodder and equipment, so it was difficult to raise troops to attack. At present, most of the Qihuo Army stationed in Linzhang to gather and exile, waiting for the imperial edict. Governor Ding is a great military tactic of this dynasty. In the past, the power of the Ding Gongshifan rebelled in the past month, and the power of the heroes shocked Hebei. Therefore, when I came, General Li specially ordered that Governor Ding had his orders, and Governor Ding had his orders, and all the Qihuo Army would follow."

Ding Shao nodded slightly: "General Li has experienced many battles and is experienced, so he is very serious about dealing with this kind of situation. But... I heard that although the thief Ji Sang has been killed, the rest of the strength is still there. Among his leaders, those who call Shi Le, the name of Jie people, are always called evil and cunning. This person is now stationing troops in Neihuang, relying on the complex and changing lake terrain as a cover, and there are signs of moving eastward. The latest news says that the bandits have captured Fanyang and entered Dunqiu."

He sighed: "In the past, in Guangping, I had fought with those bandits and knew their characteristics. If I was in charge of the army in Yecheng, when the bandits retreated, they would attack them with their elite soldiers with their heads, and they would never let them breathe. It should be noted that the court has not cared about the common people over the years, and the people have complained a lot. These bandits are best at urging and inciting ignorant gangsters. They have the people in Yecheng and their wealth, and they can recover their vitality and expand more bandit troops in just one month. At that time, it is probably difficult to suppress the power of several states!"

Ding Miao kept following Lu Yao timidly when he saw Ding Shao. He was used to being careless all day long, and when he saw this tough elder of the clan, he felt friendly and a little restrained. Although he wanted to say something, he didn't know where to find a topic.

At this moment, when I heard the conversation with Shao Xu, I suddenly remembered that I had talked to Lu Yao about the situation a few days ago. Lu Yao had talked to him about Li Yun and proposed to pursue the bandits as soon as possible and not allow him to rectify his troops, but Li Yun refused.

"Cough cough..." Ding Miao coughed repeatedly: "Cough cough... I heard that the wise and confusing people in the world have similar views. My uncle's words coincide with Daoming."

"Oh?" Ding Shao looked at Lu Yao with interest: "Does General Lu think this is what he said?"

Lu Yao nodded and said, "Yes. I also made such suggestions before leaving Wei County. It was just that General Li Yun was on the responsibility of defending Yecheng City and was committed to using troops to ensure stability, so he never obeyed."

"The use of troops is steady..." Ding Shao pondered for a moment and said to Lu Yao: "Governor Liu is the right-hand man of His Highness Donghai. He has been fighting in the north and south for many years, and is known as a god of war. As a general under Governor Liu, he naturally has extraordinary knowledge. But he is not sure what he has to think about the movement of the troops in Jizhou? I summoned troops at night and wanted to drive away Wei County to destroy the thieves and captives, okay?"

Lu Yao bowed a little and said, "Yao is no longer a subordinate from Bingzhou, how dare he talk about the major military and national affairs in Hebei?"

"The thief is in a turbulent situation, and it is the time when knowledgeable people are taking part in countermeasures. General Lu does not need to be too humble."

"Yes. Since that's the case, please forgive Lu for taking the initiative." Lu Yao leaned forward and said in a deep voice: "If Shi Le's movement is correct, then the matter of the troops going south in Jizhou is not as anxious as it is better to slow down."

"Wei County was in a trap, and the military situation was like fire. Ding sighed in his heart, so he carried the troops of Jizhou to the battlefield, for fear that the situation would worsen. Didn't General Lu also persuade General Li Yun to pursue the enemy as soon as possible? Why do you say this now? What does General Lu mean by this? Please explain it carefully for me."

"Governor Ding, Ji Sang, Shi Le and others are thieves. The first characteristic of this generation is that they are good at tying up the people. In recent years, the people's livelihood in Hebei has declined, and there are 100,000 refugees who are patrolling Wei County. These refugees are originally struggling on the brink of death and are full of dissatisfaction with reality. Once incited, they will be like sparks and unstoppable. Therefore, General Li Yun's begging for life should be urgent; only by immediately putting targeted military pressure can they disrupt the steps of joining the people to join the thieves."

Ding Shao nodded slightly and signaled Lu Yao to continue.

Lu Yao slowly thought, "The second characteristic of them is that they are wandering and wandering, and their whereabouts are uncertain. The bandits in Hebei and the refugees they are carrying are tens of thousands of people, and the daily food and fodder consumed are astronomical. Even if they are plundered by Yecheng, they will not support them for long. Therefore, once they reorganize the refugees into the bandit army, they will inevitably attack counties and counties everywhere to maintain their needs... The purpose of this action is only to plunder, so it is usually irregular. Today may threaten Dunqiu, and tomorrow may enter Ji County. Except for the obstacles of the river in the south, all three sides are threatened by the bandit army. With the official army facing the bandit, it is like opening a net to catch flying birds. Therefore, the Jizhou army of Governor Ding should be slow, so it is better to use the main force to guard the key passes, and send partial troops to occupy the form to gradually reduce the range of activities of the bandits."

"So, in the opinion of General Lu, where should our army guard the first place to suppress the bandits best?"

"Do you should be in Guangzong." Lu Yao said firmly.

Guangzong is located at the junction of Jizhou and Sizhou. It is 180 miles north from the capital of Jizhou and Xindu to the south and 300 miles south from Wei County. The Three Wei areas of Sizhou seem to be wedging into Jizhou, and Guangzong is at the top of this diamond.

Ding Shao stroked his beard and pondered: "If the troops stationed in Guangzong rely on Baigou and Zhangshui to stop the thieves from traitors. At the same time, if the partial troops were dispatched down the river, it would be enough to cover Handan, Yangping, Dunqiu and other places, and the range of activities of the bandits could be squeezed until the north bank of the Yellow River... it would be feasible."

"General Lu is indeed proficient in military affairs and is well-known." He patted the table with appreciation.

Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and knew that he had finally gotten into the eyes of this governor Ding, so he could talk about his important matters now.
