Li Xin, who was still beating the bandit children along the way, didn't know that he had been targeted by several people surnamed Yuwen in the north, and the Marquis of Jing'an at this time was still very happy.

He first took hundreds of people, took off their armor, and escorted hundreds of carts of grain in civilian clothes to walk in front, and did not take the official road, so that those bandits who were begging for food in the green forest would naturally have red eyes and shout to rob these hundreds of carts of grain.

Grain is the most important thing in any era, there is no one, hundreds of carts of grain are enough for a village of thieves to eat for a year, no one will not be tempted.

Don't wonder if the bandit profession exists.

After all, no matter how deep the hiding, it can't stop the encirclement and suppression of the government yamen, the cost of crime is too high, and everyone can basically eat enough, no one will want to go up the mountain to be a robber for no reason.

But times are very different.

In this era, there are really people who can't eat enough, and there are quite a few of them.

And at this time, as long as you find a mountain with steep terrain and pull a hundred and ten people, with knives and bows, the local government really can't do anything about you, and as for the large-scale army, they are not very willing to deal with these thieves.

This is a real profession, people in this era basically dare not go on the road alone, it's okay to walk on the official road, after all, the official road is not easy to escape, but walking on the road is seen by others, and it will really kill people for money.

Li Xin's "fishing law enforcement" for four or five days, there were three waves of robbers hit his muzzle, when these bandits roared and rushed down from the mountain, one by one fierce and vicious, but after seeing the thousand forbidden troops led by Ye Ming, everyone was like earth.

Most of the three waves of bandits were killed by Li Xin or handed over to the local government, but the young people in the bandits, young people of one or twenty years old, were all left behind by him and incorporated into his own team, ready to take them to the Zhenbei Army to join the army.

Among the descendants of Zhuxia, unless those who are born very bad, no one will willingly go up the mountain and fall to the grass in the peaceful era, most of them are not enough to eat, or they have been orphans since childhood, there is no need to kill these people, give them a way out, it is much stronger than slaughtering with a knife.

However, Li Xin's routine, after using it three or four times, didn't work.

They have now arrived in Jizhou, and after three times, the robbers in Jizhou have known that there is a group of officers and soldiers who are playing "fat sheep", and since then, no matter how narrow the road they take, no one dares to touch their minds.

The convoy moved slowly.

Li Xin, dressed in black, was lazily lying on the roof of a grain truck, holding a newly sprouted dog tail grass in his mouth, without the slightest image of an important minister of the court.

"Hou Ye~"

A nimble young man also climbed to the top of the grain cart in three or two clicks, squatted beside Li Xin, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, no one has robbed us for more than ten days, and these bandits are too timid." ”

This young man is naturally Zhao Fang, who has lived in the Jing'an Hou Mansion for five years.

Now, he has unconsciously changed his name to Li Xin.

Li Xin has always been a very careful person, and he naturally noticed the change in Zhao Fang's title, but he pretended to be fine, and said with a smile: "How can there be a stupid person in this world, Jizhou Lvlin will definitely exchange news, and after suffering a few losses, it is impossible to be fooled again." ”

As he spoke, Li Xin glanced at Zhao Fang.

"Are there any problems with the more than 100 young people handed over to you?"

The young people who were "captured" from the bandit gang were all incorporated into the team by Li Xin, but they had no leader, so Li Xin arranged Zhao Fang to be their boss and let this young man take care of these little bandits.

Among these little thieves, the eldest is only twenty-one or twelve years old, the youngest is only twelve or thirteen years old, and most of them are fifteen or sixteen years old, so it is very suitable to hand it over to Zhao Fang.

Zhao Fang nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Hou Ye, after more than ten days, they have already accepted me as the boss obediently." ”

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "This is your ability, it's very good." ”

"You remember, these people will be your team in the future, and after you get to Jimen Pass, I will give you a captain, and these young people are your soldiers."

"If you take them to make meritorious deeds, you will be able to climb up."

Saying that, Li Xin glanced at Zhao Fang and said lightly: "But you are also very talented in reading, and you can also take the road of taking the entrance examination, if you are not willing to join the army, I will not stop you." ”

Zhao Fang's face was serious.

He stood up from the grain cart and saluted deeply to Li Xin.

"Master Hou, I am willing to join the army."

Li Xin was still lying down and glanced at him lightly.

"Why?"

"Because Master Hou, you are a military attaché."

Zhao Fang's voice was calm, and he said: "I have been studying since I was a child, and I will study the preferences of the main exam in the future, it may not be difficult to take the Jinshi exam, but even if I win the Jinshi, I still have to rise and fall in the officialdom, even if everything goes well, when I stand on the high place of the court, I will have to be gray." ”

"Besides, the rules of the Great Jin Dynasty are different from those of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty does not have a decent family of eunuchs, my father is the prime minister, and my son may not even be able to lift people, I will be a civil official, and I will not be able to become a family......"

Zhao Fang saw it very clearly.

The Great Jin Dynasty is very different from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, those clans in the Northern Zhou Dynasty can be officials by virtue of their clan prestige, and some can even do the third duke of the fourth and the third duke of the fifth dynasty, but the scientific research of the Great Jin Dynasty destroyed the privileges of the family, especially after Emperor Wu, without fame, he could not be an official.

On the contrary, the military attachés of the Great Jin Dynasty are full of generals, the best example is the Ye family, the current little grandfather Ye Mao has just turned thirty years old, but once Ye Ming dies, he can immediately attack Chen Guogong and be qualified to become the general of any army.

The young man bowed his head and said: "So, I want to join the army like Hou Ye, if I go to be a civilian official, I will have no one to rely on, and after joining the army, I can still have Hou Ye to rely on." ”

Li Xin was still lying lazily, but he glanced at the young man with admiration.

"You're smart indeed."

"But the road of military attaché, it seems that you can reach the sky in one step, but there is no shortcut to take, if you want to climb up, you have to make merit, without merit, no one can help you."

Zhao Fang had a smile on his face.

"As long as Master Hou gives me the opportunity to make meritorious contributions."

Li Xin closed his eyes and didn't say anything, just asked lightly, "Have you figured it out?" ”

"Figured it out."

This young man from the Li clan of Zhao County stood on the high grain cart and knelt down in front of Li Xin.

"Master Hou, I admit that I had some thoughts about using Miss Xiao before, but I have thought about it carefully these days, but I don't have this idea, I also like Miss Xiao."

"In the past few years, I will always follow you, grow up more, and when I return to the capital, I will try to let the little lady marry me."

He kowtowed to Li Xin.

"Miss Xiao said that you won't stop her from marrying anyone."

"So be it."

Li Xin opened his eyes and glanced at Zhao Fang lightly.

"People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and I can't see what you think in your heart, but no matter what you think, if Xiaoxiao responds to you, you have to treat her well."

"Otherwise, I'll kill you."
