When Dong Ce heard this, he also felt a little uncomfortable. Everyone has their own story, it's just that most of it is tragic.

He pondered for a moment and said, "It just so happens that this official still needs a scribe, so you can take on it." Rest assured, it won't shorten your future. ”

Bai Zhongqi said gratefully: "Thank you, my lordship, for lifting up." ”

knelt down and kowtowed three times, got up and stood behind Dong Ce very obediently.

Dong Ce did this, but because Bai Zhongqi seemed to be the core figure among these eleven people, take him out, these horse thieves will be a plate of loose sand, and they can no longer gang up.

His scheming is getting deeper and deeper now, and he has done it lightly for the following vigilance, without a trace of fireworks.

Then Dong Ce asked their names one by one, and one of them, a bearded middle-aged man named Ma Lin, left a deep impression on Dong Ce. This person used to be the equestrian instructor of Xi'an Fort west of Datong Town, although he was not necessarily an officer in the Ming Army, but his status was far more than that of ordinary soldiers. But even so, he couldn't pay the money and couldn't survive, so the leaders of several cavalry sects with Ma Lin were heartbroken and went to vote for Gao Yingxiang, while Ma Lin went up the mountain and fell into the grass.

Originally, although the Bai Mazi bandits had plundered a lot of horses, there were not many people who could ride horses, but after Marin went, the situation changed greatly. It can be said that eighty percent of the horse thieves under Bai Mazi's command were all trained by Ma Lin to read 'novels' ybdu.

Although the others are not as good as Bai Zhongqi and Ma Lin, they are all elite equestrians, and most of them are even good at swordsmanship. The reason why they were washed away by Dong Ce and others that day was a failure, it was not that they were wasted, but that Dong Ce and a few people were really too strong. Wearing a strong and stubborn one, the one who is unfortunate is wearing a three-layer heavy armor weighing seventy or eighty pounds, and a knife looks like only a white mark!

What can they do?

Dong Ce was about to take them to Dashigu for a walk, when a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded outside the fort, and a soldier wearing a mandarin duck jacket and a pennang behind his back rode to Anxiangdun.

After the communication, I learned that it was Liu Ruozai's herald, and he recruited Dong Ce to go to Zhenhe Fort. Dong Ce should come down, stuff him with a tael of silver, and send the herald away with a happy face.

This is just right, Dong Ce ordered Li Gui to take out a set of leather armor from the treasury and give it to Ma Lin, and appointed him to be the head of this cavalry.

In this way, even if the names were given, these ten horse thieves were reorganized into cavalry capitals under the direct command of Dong Ce, and the leaders of the capital were temporarily sent to Ma Lin. Since it is temporary, it can naturally be taken down at any time, and because of the word 'temporary', the people below naturally have different thoughts.

Am I not able to do this position?

Ma Lin knelt down and kowtowed to Dong Ce with a grateful face, although this collar leather armor is the strongest of all the armor in Dong Ce's inventory, but it also weighs eighteen catties, and it is made of fine cowhide nitrate, and then it can be made after dozens of extremely cumbersome processes. The surface of the leather armor is decorated with a layer of iron leaves with copper rivets, and the protective power is also quite amazing, and it is also expensive. How had these horse thieves seen such fine armor? One by one, they looked at the leather armor in Marin's hand, and their eyes lit up, and they almost drooled.

And the two words of temporary dispatch also made him secretly determined in his heart that he must perform well and strive to remove the two words of temporary dispatch as soon as possible.

This adult has not yet reached the age of the weak crown, and he is already a dignified official of the six grades and hundreds of households. And he is so capable of fighting, and he has a strategy, looking at the herald's respect for him just now, it can be seen that he must be extremely appreciated by the superiors. This kind of person must have an unlimited future, and when he was captured this time, he thought that he would die, but he didn't expect such a great opportunity to be born. This opportunity must be grasped, and occupy a position under this lord as soon as possible, and the tide will naturally rise in the future, and it will not be said that all the glory and wealth will be there, what kind of glorious thing is that?

Several people rode out of Anxiangdun, Dong Ce consciously looked at their riding skills, that is, they rode their horses and galloped wildly, without stopping.

He went straight to the Zhenhe Fort in a hurry, and did not stop until he was about to hurt his horse when he ran any further, and to his satisfaction, these people's equestrian skills were not bad. You must know that this road is so far, plus the reason is not good, the road is bumpy, and the equestrian skills are a little worse, I don't know how many times I have turned it upside down.

Moreover, the Mongolian horses under their crotch are indeed much longer than the Liaodong horses, and the Liaodong horses under Dong Ce's crotch are no longer able to run, and those Mongolian horses still have spare strength, and they don't seem to have much strength.

When Dong Ce saw it, he was also amazed, and he completely realized the value of these Mongolian horses.

Seeing Dong Ce, the city gate officer of Zhenhe Fort hurriedly let him go, and now who doesn't know that Zhenhe Fort and even the Northern Hebei Military Preparation Road don't know, a Dong Ce Dong Baihu who has recently risen up is the one who has cut off more than a dozen Tartar heads, and his merits have reached the heavens. This person is very valued by the soldiers, and he often invites discussions, and he always answers them for a long time. Moreover, there are rumors that the first time Dong Ce came to Zhenhe Fort, it was the old butler of the Bingbei Dao who personally led the way in front...... That's a great honor.

In the officialdom, it is natural to know who cannot be offended the most -- those who are in the limelight.

Therefore, as soon as Dong Ce arrived, the city gate official with the title of chief flag hurriedly greeted him with a smile and sent him in respectfully.

When he arrived outside the mansion, Dong Ce asked Ma Lin and the others to wait outside the mansion and went in by himself. When did Marin and the others come to the mansion of such a big official? All of them are at a loss and extremely restrained.

After Dong Ce passed the word, he was introduced into the flower hall of the back house, but he saw that Liu Ruozai was still dressed in cloth clothes and was practicing calligraphy, but beside him, he was grinding ink and was a thirty-twelve-year-old young man wearing a six-grade civil official robe.

"Coming?" Hearing the sound of footsteps, Liu Ruozai didn't raise his head.

Dong Ce replied, and after saluting, he stood aside.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the civil official, Liu Ruozai's attitude is obviously only for people who are quite familiar and close to him, this Dong Ce, it seems that it is really as rumored to be, very valued by adults.

He smiled at Dong Ce, this extremely rare kindness from the civil official made Dong Ce stunned, and quickly smiled back.

The hall was silent for a moment, and only the rustling of writing could be heard.

After a while, Liu Ruozai threw the pen, let out a long breath, and said to the civil official: "Damin, look, how is the word old man?" ”

The civil official looked at it carefully for a long time, stroked his palm lightly and smiled: "My lord, your words, the round pen hides the edge, the pen is closed, and the hook picks the waves, all of which are not sharp." Even, stable, more calm, relaxed, not slow feelings. It can be described as round and quaint, leisurely and rich, and unfathomable! ”

He laughed: "It seems that the adults have been in a good mood lately." ”

"Da Min has a very good eye." His comment obviously made Liu Ruozai very satisfied, looked at Dong Ce, and beckoned: "Come here, you can take a look." ”

The civil official was slightly surprised in his heart, and said in his heart, can he understand?

Dong Ce responded, and stepped forward to take a look, it turned out that this was Liu Ruozai's copy of the book Sage Wang Xizhi's "Clear Post When the Snow is Fast".

As Liu Ruozai called Da Min, the civil official said, the pen is round, not sharp, calm and relaxed, which is already very much the charm of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Dong Ce said with a smile: "The last general is just a rough text, how can you understand so much?" ”

"You're just too old." Liu Ruozai said a word to him with a smile, but there was no blame on his face? Turning his head to the civil official, he said: "This man is modest, but in fact, a willow body is also good." ”

The civil servant nodded, but did not speak.

After saying this, the ink of "Clear Post When the Snow is Fast" has dried, Liu Ruozai rolled it up and handed it to Dong Ce: "This sticker is for you, although you are a military general, it is your duty to fight for the country, but don't patronize the fight and kill, some time, you must also cultivate your mind and self-discipline." ”

Dong Ce was a little flattered, in this era, for literati, giving pen and ink is a very solemn and formal thing, showing a great degree of closeness or respect for the other party. Not to mention, the text itself is a superb work of art.

He hurriedly took it, gave a deep salute, and said, "The last general will wake up." ”

As he spoke, he put the post away with great care.

Liu Ruozai smiled, cleaned his hands, and said with a smile: "Come, let me introduce to you, this is the general judge of grain and grass in this official office, Ji Changfeng, and the word Damin." ”

He pointed at Dong Ce again: "This is Dong Ce Dong Erlang, you should have heard his name." ”

"Yes, thunder." Ji Changfeng nodded, smiled at Dong Ce, and arched his hand: "Lord Dong is polite, but I have admired Lord Dong's reputation for a long time!" ”

"I've seen Master Ji." He was very polite, and Dong Ce also hurriedly returned the courtesy, although he, the official of a hundred households, and the general judgment of grain and grass are all six-grade officials, but the civil and military affairs, the difference in status is very large. Generally speaking, the general judgment under the military garrison road in one place has the right to control one place and temporarily command three or five thousand generals.

What is he worth with just a hundred households?

And he had some doubts in his heart, at this time, most of the civil officials were hostile and despised the military generals, why was this Ji Changfeng so kind to him? It's really an outlier.

"How are the preparations for the formation and training of the new army?"

Liu Ruozai asked lightly.

"The site has been chosen, the site has been inspected, and all that remains is to hire craftsmen to calculate how much stone, wood, and how much brick and tile rammed earth will be needed to rebuild it. The last general has recruited fifty-seven families, all of whom have been homeless since the last raid by the horse thieves, and are now digging ditches, burning wasteland, fishing and shipbuilding. "The notice of recruiting displaced people has basically been posted in the counties and towns within a radius of 100 miles, and the villages and towns and forts, and there will be news in the past few days."
