And generally speaking, it is not easy for civilian officials and herdsmen and military generals to govern the army, and let these generals govern the people - under the garrison of these military towns and forts on the nine sides, there are few civil affairs that are not in a mess.

It's better to be like Dong Ce, after all, he only has one Rock Fort plus Ten Mile Bun Fort, regardless of the others, and like under Hongci Fort, there are five military forts at the level of one hundred households under his jurisdiction, and there are many affairs, and there are thousands of things. If it weren't for Xu Xiangling to deal with him, where would Bai Tianfu still have time to hunt? It's almost the same as the hard work of the whole day.

He just smiled and comforted a few words, which was roughly nothing more than that I was suffering from it and something like that. It's just that the change in mood can't hide Dong Ce's sharp eyes, he has always been good at speculating on other people's thoughts, and combined with Bai Tianfu's previous performance, he roughly guessed his thoughts.

Since the purpose is to suppress bandits, it is natural that they should first inform each other of their respective strengths, and then unify their command, line of action, and operational plan.

Bai Tianfu glanced behind Dong Ce, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Brother Dong's family is a lot?" I'm afraid there are more guerrillas than ordinary generals. ”

"Hey, forty, all here. The little brother is timid, but don't scare the little brother. Dong Ce hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "The younger brother doesn't follow the rules, so he raises more family, but he looks good, and he knows the hardships." At present, the amount of money for the little brother's rock castle has not been decided, and there is no income, so he can only sit and eat. Not to mention the family's salary, how much does it cost to consume these war horses every day? Two horses died of illness two days ago, let's give you a reason, the little brother is now in addition to these family members, the rest of the soldiers, is simply not able to raise! I'm a donkey dung egg, light outside! ”

Dong Ce said nonsense, anyway, the family members sent by Bai Tianfu to deliver the letter that day were not allowed to enter the Rock Fort at all, and Bai Tianfu did not know about the reality inside.

Sure enough, hearing Dong Ce say this, Bai Tianfu was even happier a little, and the imbalance in his heart gradually faded.

He smiled slightly: "Being a brother is different from my brother, he only raises fifteen family members, and they are all here." ”

Then he added a sentence with a little self-sufficiency: "But in Hongci Fort, there are also a thousand soldiers, and this time only fifty are brought out with some finished weapons."

Dong Ce smiled and complimented: "It's still Brother Bai who has foresight." ”

Bai Tianfu stroked his beard and smiled. However, he didn't notice the glimmer of danger in Dong Ce's eyes, usually when Dong Ce began to compliment others, either he had other plans, or the other party was going to be unlucky.

The two informed the soldiers that Dong Ce's side was forty families, and Bai Tianfu was fifteen families and fifty foot soldiers. It seems that there are many people on Bai Tianfu's side, but even the family members below know that if the two sides fight, it will definitely be Bai Tianfu's side. Even if fifteen family members exchanged each other, and if you want to exchange the remaining twenty-five elite family members, you need at least three times as many foot soldiers. Moreover, fighting a war is not a simple number game, Dong Ce can completely concentrate on the superior family to kill all the family members who are blessed by Bai Tianfu first. Let's go back and deal with the foot soldiers, these foot soldiers can't run away anyway, and they can't beat them.

The two called their respective departments up, and they were familiar with each other, at least not to be injured by mistake when they fought.

Dong Ce glanced at it, and basically knew the combat power of Bai Tianfu's department.

His fifteen family members, without exception, were all wearing green cloth iron armor, wearing bright helmets, and their weapons were waist knives, completely cold weapon configuration. The green cloth iron armor is heavier, and the defense is better than the cotton armor, which is the advantage of Bai Tianfu Jiading. These family members also look quite fierce, and in the Nine-Sided Army, they should be able to fight. But it depends on who he compares with, Dong Ce is confident that he can definitely win with a family member who is against Bai Tianfu on his side. They are all very casual, giggling, and obviously lacking in discipline.

As for those foot soldiers, they didn't mention it, all of them wore shabby red fat jackets, held thin spears, listless, and relatively thin, and seemed to have a little more limited combat effectiveness than ordinary border troops.

When Dong Ce observed the situation of Bai Tianfu's department, Bai Tianfu also secretly observed Dong Ce's family, and when he looked carefully, he was secretly frightened.

The forty servants on the other side were all dressed in cotton armor and bright helmets, with coconut scoops and double sticks hanging from the saddles, and a strangely shaped waist knife hanging from the belt around their waists. This kind of waist knife Bai Tianfu has never seen before, looking at the scabbard seems to be narrower than the ordinary waist knife, the length is about the same, the head and tail of the scabbard are copper-coated at both ends, it looks very beautiful, there is a kind of inherent luxury.

Although these cavalrymen were sitting on horses, they all had straight waists, sharp eyes, pursed lips, and serious expressions. Bai Tianfu's family members all went over to talk and greet them, but they rarely spoke.

Bai Tianfu is also the type of armor-piercing spearhead.

Of course, Bai Tianfu would never have known that Dong Ce had made certain modifications to the common armor-piercing spearheads of the Ming Dynasty, making the overall shape like an extended and enlarged version of the famous three-edged military spur in later generations.

But this definitely did not prevent Bai Tianfu from estimating their power.

He glanced at the red tassel spears in the hands of his own foot soldiers, if those red tassel spears were used, the soldiers could also pierce a layer of armor leaves after a certain period of training, not to mention cotton armor and leather armor. And the spears used by these families under Dong Ce can't be stopped even by two layers of iron armor, not to mention, there is also the huge impact of the cavalry!

Thinking of this, Bai Tianfu couldn't help but feel a trace of awe for Dong Ce.

This Brother Dong is not simple! This family Ding team, I'm afraid it's rare in this northern Hebei Province.

Bai Tianfu pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, those spears under your command, maybe show me?" ”

"Of course." As soon as Dong Ce waved his hand, a family member handed over the spear, and he pointed his spear to the sky and handed it to Bai Tianfu.

The spear was raised, Bai Tianfu raised his eyebrows, he originally thought that this spear would not be light, after all, such a length, it was not thin, but in fact it was much lighter than he expected. That is, a little more than eight catties, so that the burden of the soldiers can be reduced a lot. He carefully examined the spearhead, which was triangular and had blood grooves on each side, and one could imagine what a tragic scene would be after being stabbed.

He shook his arms and shook the spear, but the head of the spear didn't move much, and it was obvious that the shaft of the spear was not flexible. Such a spear is only suitable for direct stabs, and other marksmanship cannot be played.

Next, it is natural to unify command and discourse, after all, it is a joint action, and it is a matter that is beneficial to everyone, and naturally it cannot be ignored.

Dong Ce said with a smile: "Naturally, Brother Bai came, the junior brother has shallow qualifications, and his experience is far less than that of Brother Bai, which I know in my heart." ”

When Bai Tianfu heard this, he was very happy in his heart, and felt that Dong Ce was very knowledgeable. It's just that he is not stupid, he knows that the current strength comparison between himself and Dong Ce is not as good as others, even if he takes on this errand, he can't command at all, but it is better to do it beautifully, and simply let it be given to others.

He waved his hand and said, "Alas, Brother Dong, where did you come from?" This time, you started it first, so you must know more, so it's better for you to talk about it. ”

The two excused themselves, and finally decided to be led by Dong Ce. However, Dong Ce also showed great respect for Bai Tianfu, and did not make him feel uncomfortable. In fact, this is a wise choice, just as Bai Tianfu thought, Dong Ce definitely knows much more than him.
