Dong Ce slapped his hands heavily, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, patted Dong Zhongyong's shoulder heavily, and repeated Fang Cai's words again: "You did a good job!" ”

Dong Zhongyong's face turned red with excitement, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak. He was originally quite mediocre in Dong Ce's family, and even the most mediocre one, his qualifications were very poor, and he was stupid, otherwise he would not have been reprimanded so much when he was training. He has always done things in general, and he has never been praised by Dong Ce, and at this time, when he was recognized by Dong Ce, the excitement in his heart was simply inexpressible.

Dong Ce smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back and rest, tomorrow at the latest, we still have big moves!" When this battle is over, this official will reward you well. ”

Dong Zhongyong hurriedly said: "Thank you, sir!" ”

He turned around and was about to leave, but Dong Ce suddenly stopped him again, and asked with a smile: "By the way, what are you and that girl called?" Oh, by the way, it's called Yu Zhuqing, right? You and the girl, how are you two doing? ”

Dong Zhongyong stood there, dumbfounded, and was actually enquisitioned for a while. He didn't expect an adult to ask him this question suddenly, and he didn't expect that an adult would take his own affairs to heart, and even knew so clearly what the name of the girl he liked. An indescribable burst of gratitude welled up in his heart, and he only felt warm in his heart.

Speaking of this issue, Dong Zhongyong suddenly felt a little shy, he smiled embarrassedly, and a happy expression appeared on his face: "She is still staying in Yanghe City now, but she has long stopped doing her original job." The two of us are now discussing, when I have saved enough money, I will buy a piece of land in the city of Rock Fort, and we will live in, and then I will get married. ”

Dong Ce raised his eyebrows and said, "What, she doesn't want to come over now?" ”

"No, it's not ......"

Dong Zhongyong hurriedly shook his head: "I can't bear her to come, now she wants to come over, I can't see me all day long, I don't say anything, I live in that grass house outside, and I have to farm the land by myself, I can't bear her to work in the field." ”

Dong Ce smiled and nodded: "You kid is okay, you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." Cheng, let's do it, after you return to the Rock Castle, the official will personally reward you with a piece of land, let people build you a big house, and you will take her over to live! It's also a big boss, get married early, and someone will hurt in the future. ”

Dong Zhongyong was overjoyed, and quickly knelt on the ground, plopped and kowtowed a few times, and thanked him repeatedly.

Dong Ce waved his hand and said, "Okay, go down quickly!" ”

Dong Zhongyong went down happily.

Dong Ce looked at his back and shook his head and smiled, after such a scene, the tension before the war seemed to have been diluted a lot.

In the evening, the scouts sent out came back one after another, Dong Ce gathered everyone together, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone, raising troops for a thousand days is used for a while!" This official, I'm going to take you off tonight, and we're going to do a big one tomorrow! Our opponents are none other than the thieves, who may be very powerful and outnumbered by us, but rest assured, this official will lead you and defeat them! We, and only us, are the winners. ”

"How? Do you have faith? ”

The last sentence, Dong Ce almost shouted out.

"Yes!" The soldiers under him also used their loudest volume to let out this roar from their chests. Hundreds of people roared in unison, and the sound shook all over the wilderness, spreading far and wide, startling the birds in the forest to flutter and flutter.

"Let's go!"

Dong Ce shouted, stepped on the back of the horse and went first. Behind him, more than three hundred cavalry followed. Dong Ce and the others did not advance fast, maintaining their horsepower, and after about two hours, they arrived at a very secret place. It is also a dense forest, surrounded by a rather low hill. It's not very big, but it's enough for Tibetans, and it's enough to hide so many hundreds. And more importantly, it's only fifteen miles away from the town of Hutou. For cavalry, this is really not very far, although it cannot be said to be instantaneous, but it is not too much.

As early as two days ago, Dong Ce had already ordered someone to find this place, and made a simple camp in this dense forest, for this day.

When Dong Ce and the others arrived here, it was already late at night, and they didn't have time to set up camp at all, but with the camp that had been prepared so long, they could move in immediately and have enough time to rest.

Nothing was said all night.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was just hazy, and the sun had not yet risen, which was about five o'clock in the morning in the future. Even if the days are long in summer, it is not a bright day.

There is also a camp about twenty-seven or eighteen miles southeast of the camp where Dong Ce and the others live now, but it is much simpler than the camp of Dong Ce and the others, and it can be called simple. There were no ditches or fences, but behind a leeward hill, horses formed a circle in which people slept.

They were tightly wrapped in felt, but only a few of them had felt, and most of them could only be clothed and then curled up. The summer morning in the Northland was still quite cool, and they seemed to feel it in their sleep, and some of their bodies were shivering slightly, curled up tighter.

These people did not have uniform clothing, most of them were sturdy men between seventeen and eighteen to forty years old, and they were all equipped with weapons, even in their sleep, their weapons were kept at hand, and they could jump up and draw their knives to kill people as soon as there was a situation.

There are a few crooked flags in the camp, if there is a veteran general of the Ming army who has fought with the Chuang army here, look at the banner and know that this is a part of the general Li Zicheng under the command of Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang.

It's just that at this time they are embarrassed, all of them are unkempt, their hair is almost knotted, and they don't know how long they haven't been washed, even in their sleep, they are full of exhaustion, and there are almost few awake in the entire camp, and they are all asleep. Obviously, they were very tired before, and their clothes, armor, and even their horses were covered with dust.

They were sleeping soundly, and suddenly the earth trembled slightly, and some of them who were extremely alert jumped up directly from the ground, their eyes were still closed, and their sanity may not even have regained consciousness, but their mouths had already shouted: "Come on, come on, these **** officers and soldiers who have entered the fuck have caught up again!" Run away, brothers! ”

The shouting of these people immediately caused everyone to quarrel, and they were awakened in their sleep, and their heads were still a little dazed, like headless flies, bumping and shouting everywhere. But fortunately, in the past few days, they have also become accustomed to this kind of life, and they have the ability to resist it, and they soon regained their senses, and one by one they quickly found their war horses, turned over their horses, and fled after beating them.
