Zhong Wei returned, and all the twenty cities in Nanqiu County were under Ding Kui's control, and on the surface, no one disobeyed the decree issued by Shu Wu, and Shu Wu was officially accepted by Ding Kui as a retainer.

The Special Operations Regiment and the Strong Crossbow Regiment returned to the base together, but Mo Jun only returned with one battalion, and two battalions remained in Kada City and Shifeng City to assist Shaodianfei in rebuilding the city defenses.

"Master Zhong has worked hard. Ding Kui met Zhong Wei in the interval between entertaining guests.

"All the soldiers used their lives, and the subordinates were able to fight without blood, and they also made a decision under the subordinates of Jizhou City, asking the lord to forgive him. "Zhong Wei is guilty of not asking for merit first.

"Oh?" Ding Kui didn't get any bad news.

"That's right. Zhong Wei told him about the negotiation with Ling Yi in the Jizhou City Knight Guild.

"Therefore, you let most of the knights of the Knight Guild of Jizhou City go home. Ding Kui's expression didn't show joy or anger.

"Yes!" Zhong bowed his head for a fist.

"In exchange, Ling Yi opened the gate of Shifeng City for you, greatly reducing the loss of capturing Shifeng City. Dozens of knights who are unwilling to serve me are worth it in exchange for a soldier who is loyal to me, so you didn't make a wrong decision, what is the crime?" Ding Kui smiled as the corners of his mouth furled.

He didn't blame Zhong Wei, it was a big crime to let go of foreigners with combat effectiveness, but Zhong Wei was a native who let go, and he would make the same decision if he let him come.

"The subordinates have brought Ling Yi back, please send it down. Zhong Wei was relieved to see Ding Kui's expression.

"According to what you said, this Ling Yi is a talent, but it's a pity that his heart is not on my side. Ding Kui touched his chin, "Most of the people in the Knight Guild are idolized by the President of the Guild, but I haven't heard of the big family surnamed Ling. ”

"The subordinates took him to take care of him personally, and they understood that he was not born into a famous family, nor had he been in the army, and he was mixed up to the position of the president of the city guild with his own ability. "Zhong Wei attaches great importance to Ling Yi.

These words have the meaning of exculpating Ling Yi, hoping that Ding Kui can subdue Ling Yi.

"Hehe, I see what you mean. Ding Kui nodded, "It's not easy to subdue a loyal person.

Judging from his requirements, he is a responsible person, he is a brave person who still resists under such conditions, and he is a wise person who uses stratagem to negotiate with you.

A brave, intelligent and responsible person will not be willing to be reduced to mediocrity, he must have ambitions in his heart, and if he wants to be subdued, he must be given space to show his strengths. ”

"The master's analysis is very reasonable! He can lead two or three hundred people to create difficulties for Commander Mo, if he gives him two or three thousand people, it will be difficult for his subordinates to capture Jizhou City. "Zhong Wei respects Ling Yi's enemy.

Ding Kui shouted outside, "Let Ding Zhong come for a while." ”

"What do you mean, master?" Zhong Wei was quite jealous of the Security Bureau.

"Give him to Ding Zhong and let him take a good look at Giant Sheep City. "Ding Kui didn't plan to lock up Ling Yi, but he had to secretly restrict Ling Yi's actions and not let the tiger return to the mountain.

Ling Yi is a fearless knight, ordinary people can't look down on him, only the Security Bureau can seal his fighting spirit cultivation.

Spy on a person in Giant Sheep City, and only the Security Bureau can do it.

In the corridor in front of the lord's mansion, a young woman walked quickly with her head down, "Widow Hu!" someone shouted in front of her, she paused and looked up, and a young girl stopped in front.

"Miss Ding Fen, what a coincidence. Qian Yilin smiled.

Ding Fen spread out a palm and said, "What about the money in the first half of the year?"

"Oh, look at my memory, I've been busy with things that my lord has explained recently, and I haven't been back to the store to settle the accounts for a long time. Otherwise, tomorrow, no, I'll go back to the store in the evening and figure it out, and I'll send it to you right away. ”

Ding Fen is good at planting flowers and plants, Ding Kun specially arranged for five or six little girls to bring her, and those girls planted exotic flowers and plants under her guidance, and all the flowers and plants planted were stored in Qian Yilin's store for sale.

"Don't lie to me. Ding Fen stared at Qian Yilin in disbelief.

"My little aunt and grandmother, I can't lie to anyone! The master summoned me, I can't let the master wait, I'll leave first." Qian Yilin looked at Ding Fen's reaction, and the soles of her feet didn't move.

"Well, I'll talk about it when the master finishes seeing you. Ding Fen didn't dare to delay Ding Kui's matter and get out of the way.

Qian Yilin walked quickly around Ding Fen and walked quickly with her head down.

She is a new little celebrity in Ding Mansion, and she is one of the few women who can enter Ding Kui's study, but she doesn't dare to offend Ding Fen.

Hurriedly came to the outside of the study and met a cold young man, "I've seen Director Ding." She hurriedly saluted.

Ding Zhong shook his hand and said, "No need to be polite, let's go in quickly, the master has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Qian Yilin turned sideways and walked around Ding Zhong. Every time she saw the security chief, she felt creepy, and there was a chill in her back when she turned her back to him.

"Subordinate Qian Yilin asked to see. She stopped at the door.

"Oh, come in, I'm up to you. ”

There were a lot of people in the study, including Zhong Wei, Liu Yu and Biya, and Qian Yilin saluted and greeted them one by one after she came in.

"Okay, everyone, I'll talk about it briefly. Ding Kui's eyes motioned for Qian Yilin to sit at the end, "Now that the Red Army has the best equipment, the most luxurious base, the most delicious food, the highest military salary, and the most perfect logistics support, what do you say is still lacking?"

"Football game?" Zhong Wei didn't expect to talk about the private army, and the other few people basically had nothing to do with the private army, and he was the one who had the most right to speak in the house.

Even Liu Yu looked confused, not to mention Biya and Qian Yilin.

"Football is not necessary, it is not suitable to be played in the state of readiness, the two of them are just hints. Ding Kui pointed to Biya and Qian Yilin.

Military prostitutes!

Zhong Wei had a word in his head, but he didn't dare to say it, Qian Yilin was just it, Biya was a person around Ding Kui, and it was disrespectful to compare it to a military prostitute.

"Could it be that the lord wants to unify the thoughts of the troops?" Liu Yu is the person who knows Ding Kui best, and he can guess it as soon as he mentions it.

He didn't know what Biya was doing here, but Qian Yilin's role was very clear, the Minister of Propaganda was dedicated to spreading Ding Kui's thoughts.

"Sort of one of them. Liu Yu did not disappoint Ding Kui, "I made a joke a few days ago, but I didn't expect that I was not a qualified nobleman. ”

Biya was snickering, and the others were looking at her.

"Okay, you can do it. Ding Kui stopped and pointed at Biya.

"The slave is wrong, please punish the master. Biya immediately put away her smile.

"No, you're not wrong, if you want to say it, you can say it. ”

"Oh. Biya sat down slowly, "But the master is talking about singing and dancing attendants, do you want to choose from the army?"

"Ahh ”

Ding Kui smiled and said, "Yo, Mr. Liu seems to understand, help her." ”

"The lord wants to give the Red Army the best mental state?" Liu Yu looked at Biya and Qian Yilin's eyes more clearly.

"That's pretty much it, I plan to set up a troupe of art troupes, which will be used to perform singing and dancing and other literary and artistic activities for the soldiers, so as to relieve the psychological pressure of the troops and improve morale. Ding Kui's mouth popped out of a bunch of new terms.

The study fell silent, and everyone was pondering Ding Kui's words in their hearts.

The idea of equipping the army with singing and dancing attendants is quite bold and avant-garde, and it is certainly not in the history of various countries, and it is estimated that no one in the world can think of it except Ding Kui.

After Ding Kui was ridiculed by Ji Chan, he did not equip his family with singing and dancing attendants, but instead thought of equipping the private army. Of course, the art troupe is a product of plagiarism of the earth, and it is not unusual for him to come up with it.

"Is playing with war drums and war horns considered a literary and artistic activity?" Zhong Wei was the first to react.

This is not surprising, there are special drummers and trumpeters in the army, and they will make interesting sounds when they are idle, which is already the enlightenment of military music, and as an old man in the army, he should associate it.

"Count! Yes, Master Zhong, you have a lot of ideas!" Ding Kui provoked Brother Thumbs.

Qian Yilin raised her hand weakly and said, "That, I don't know anything about singing, dancing, drums and horns, will I delay my lord's affairs here?"

"Don't be presumptuous, you can choreograph the drama and pick the right people to perform it. Ding Kui has high hopes for her.

"Drama?" several people asked at the same time.

"Drama is about finding someone to play a specific role and tell a story on stage. This is Ding Kui's understanding of drama.

After glancing at everyone, he said: "For example, Master Zhong met a strange person in this rebellion, he took the initiative to offer advice to Master Zhong, and led the righteous men to open the gate of Shifeng City at night, so that our army rushed into the city with lightning speed and annihilated the chaotic party in the city in one fell swoop. ”

Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and he thought: Gao! I couldn't have imagined such a clever method.

Zhong Wei looked surprised, and thought: Poison! At this moment, Ling Yi was speechless, and he couldn't wash it away when he jumped into the Tongyuan River.

What Ding Kui is talking about is Ling Yi! After his processing, Ling Yi became a person who took the initiative to surrender and made great contributions to Zhong Wei's occupation of Nanqiu County.

Qian Yilin recorded very carefully, and was able to be appreciated by Ding Kui and become the head of the territorial organization, she had her own merits, and she could quickly comprehend and convey Ding Kui's spirit.

"What does the master mean to find someone to play the role of Master Zhong, Qiren and the chaotic party of Shifeng City, and then perform the process of defrauding the city gate to destroy the chaotic party on the stage?" Bi Ya also understood.

She is good at singing and dancing, and has a foundation in acting, so she can quickly grasp the essence of performance and understand the meaning of drama as quickly as possible.

"Yes, you haven't been with me for so many years. "Ding Kui specially called Biya to take a fancy to her ability, and she can become the chief instructor of the art troupe.

"Where is this kind of performance going on?" Liu Yu asked a key point.

"The art troupe can have a variety of performance forms, and the location is not limited, the troop station, the professional stage or on the battlefield, depending on the specific situation. ”

Ding Kui hopes that his subordinates will ask more questions so that they can refine their ideas.

Zhong Wei also asked: "Does the art troupe need to re-recruit personnel? Or do you choose from the troops? ”

When he heard the word "regiment", he naturally thought that it was a private army formation, which was the same as a special operations regiment, a crossbow regiment, and an infantry regiment, and was normally formed by him.
