I have to say that Zong Ze in reality is exactly the same as Zong Ze in Li Yanqing's imagination, tall and mighty, with a snow-white silver hair, a pair of sharp eyes, and orange peel-like skin showing that he has experienced vicissitudes of life. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zong Ze only achieved the highest judgment from Dengzhou of the sixth grade, and the official rank was straight, two levels lower than the level of the seed master Dao, and the age was ten years younger than the seed master Dao, he met with the courtesy of his subordinates, but the two of them hit it off at first sight and quickly became familiar with each other.

"The greatest wish of his life is to serve as an officer in the army and defend the country, since Yuanyou entered the government in the sixth year, there has been no opportunity, it can be said that I have been waiting for this day for twenty-three years."

Zong Ze seemed very excited, he also had a reason to be excited, he was sixty years old, and he felt that he had no future in life, just when he applied for retirement and was about to return to his hometown to spend his last years, fate played a big joke on him, and the opportunity he had longed for for decades and could not be suddenly pushed in front of his eyes.

Seed Master Dao pointed at Li Yanqing who was standing aside and said with a smile: "Brother Zong should thank Li for joining the army, if he hadn't strongly recommended it to me, I really wouldn't have thought of asking for someone from the imperial court." ”

Zong Ze glanced at Li Yanqing, the strange young man in front of him joined the army and made him feel confused for a while, he didn't seem to have dealt with him before, how could he know about himself?

Zong Ze couldn't help but ask: "How could Li Senjun know about ......?"

Li Yanqing smiled slightly: "Zong Gong still remembers a young man named Tang Huai? ”

Zong Ze nodded, "I know him, a martial arts scholar, a native of Tangyin County, a young man who is very smart and studious." ”

"He is a close friend of mine who grew up together, and I learned about Zonggong from him, but I failed to ask Zonggong for advice, which has always made the younger generation angry."

In fact, Li Yanqing's words have a lot of loopholes, and they can't stand scrutiny, just based on the introduction of a good friend, I haven't seen it in person, how can I draw conclusions at will, this is not in line with the principle of employing people, if Li Yanqing said this before, the seed master Dao would definitely not be very happy, but he has felt Zong Ze's pure heart of serving the country in a short period of contact, so he no longer cares about Li Yanqing's unreliable explanation.

Zong Ze didn't think about it so much, he was still immersed in the excitement of finally putting on the robe and walking on the battlefield, he nodded, "It turns out that Li Senjun is also a martial artist. ”

The breeder laughed, "Li Senjun is the third place in this year's imperial examination, not a martial arts bachelor, but it does have something to do with Wu, two years ago, Li Senjun was still the first place in the bow and horse competition." ”

Zong Ze was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, and after a long time, he sighed lowly: "Both civil and military, it is commendable, I didn't expect that there was such a talent under the shuai." ”

"Zonggong has won the award, Yanqing's experience is far from enough, and I will ask Zonggong for more advice in the future."

"Definitely! Certain! ”

At this time, the seed master Dao gave Li Yanqing a look, Li Yanqing bowed and retreated, only the two people left in the big tent, the seed master Dao and Zong Ze were left, the seed master Dao took a sip of tea and said: "Now there is still one and a half months left before the end of the preparation time stipulated by the official family, the time is very urgent, the training of the front-line armies has basically been completed, if General Zong is allowed to lead an army at this time, I am afraid that the time will be too late, so I think about it again and again, I want to ask General Zong to temporarily take charge of logistics for me, in fact, the logistics army also has as many as 30,000 people, The affairs of the Eighth Division are complicated, and most of the troops are weak in combat, which is also a severe test for General Zong, I wonder if General Zong can take over? ”

Zong Ze got up and said without hesitation: "The handsome has an order, how dare Zong Ze disobey, I am willing to share the worries of the handsome!" ”

The most lacking talent under the master is both civil and military, and he is in charge of logistics for him, so that he can get rid of cumbersome political affairs to command the army, but he can't find a suitable person, either the civilian officials only understand government affairs and can't command the 30,000 logistics troops, or the military generals can be in charge of the army, but they can't handle the government affairs of the eight divisions, if they are separated, it will seriously reduce the efficiency of logistics and affect the army of the former enemy.

Originally, Li Yanqing was a candidate, but unfortunately his qualifications were too shallow, his age was too clear, and he still needed to hone for a few years, so although Li Yanqing served as a record to join the army, the logistics chief was still concurrently served by the seed master, which consumed a lot of his time and energy, which affected the preparation for war, and Zong Ze was a military general from Jinshi, and his qualifications and experience were enough, so he was the best candidate.

Zong Ze's generous succession made Seed Master Dao overjoyed, and he smiled slightly: "General Zong will settle down first, and I will arrange the official handover tomorrow." ”

After a pause, the seed master remembered something and said with a smile: "I'm afraid there won't be time tomorrow, we will hand over the day after tomorrow, and General Zong might as well go to Fuxue with me tomorrow to participate in the interview." ”

.........

Before dawn the next day, Li Yanqing took a few soldiers and dozens of soldiers to Fuxue first.

At this time, the evaluation of the school has ended, the written examination results list has been released yesterday, and one hundred and twenty scholars have stood out among more than 2,000 scholars and will participate in the second round of interviews, and the final candidates for joining the army will be selected among them.

However, the plan is not as good as the change, with the imperial court increasing the Hedong Army by 50,000 troops, a large amount of food and materials are going north through Fenshui, the pressure on logistics has multiplied sharply, and it is inevitable to increase the number of people who join the army.

In the end, the number of people admitted to this interview was increased to 30, and the Military Department and the Intelligence Department each recorded 15 people, and the number of admissions reached 4 to 1, which was indeed good news for the 120 scholars who stood out in the written examination.

Receiving Li Yanqing and his entourage was Liu Qian, the deputy teacher of Fuxue, who was about fifty years old, with a slender face, and a slender goatee, and his appearance was quite distinctive, so the students of Fuxue called him a sheep teacher behind his back.

This time, the government school provided the venue, organized the invigilation, and organized the professor to mark the papers, which was time-consuming and laborious, but did not take a penny of remuneration, in their words, this is also to support the army to counterattack the Western Xia with practical actions, which is really respectable.

Liu Qian and Li Yanqing saw each other and asked with a smile: "Since you still have to recruit the Eighth Division today, why don't you see the head of the Eighth Division joining the army?" ”

Li Yanqing pointed to himself, "I am also the recorder of the Eighth Division and join the army. ”

"Ahh I see. ”

Liu Qian hurriedly apologized, "I don't know, I always thought that Li Senjun was the head of the Intelligence Department, but I didn't know that Li Senjun also served as the eighth division to join the army, I'm really sorry!" ”

"Jiaoyu Liu doesn't have to apologize, in fact, the real interviewer today is the marshal and the newly appointed general Zonglao who is in charge of logistics, and I am just the interview organizer."

"Is the boss coming?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "The marshal will come later, may I ask the teacher, have all the scholars who participated in the interview arrived?" ”

"It's all here, and I'm currently resting and waiting in the Ren Auditorium, and I'm ready to conduct interviews at any time."

"It's been hard work for this time."

"Where! Where! To be able to do a little bit for the country, although it is a little hard, but we also feel honored, I hope that this time the battle of Western Xia can be a big victory, to give everyone a hard boost! ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "This is also the common wish of the officers and men of the three armed forces. ”

.........

Half an hour later, the sky finally dawned, and the interview officially began, there were one hundred and twenty scholars who participated in the interview in the Renli Outer Hall, each of them was very nervous, they held a note in their hands, this is the order they had just drawn, the scholar sitting in the first seat was especially pale, he was unfortunately drawn the number one, the first interview.

Zhao Wen, who was on patrol, found that the first scholar's legs were trembling slightly, so he stepped forward to comfort him and said: "Actually, you should feel lucky, the first one will leave the first impression, if you perform well, then the possibility of admission is higher than others, if it were me, I would still like to be the first to interview!" ”

Zhao Wen's comfort calmed his heart slightly, and he nodded silently, his legs no longer trembling as they did just now.

At this time, a soldier shouted: "The interview begins, please enter the first Zhang Ke." ”

Shizi slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to walk towards the inner hall.

There is a long row of tables in the inner hall, and the officials who are participating in the interview sit in the back, and in the middle sits the commander of the Hedong Army, Zong Ze, the new veteran in charge of logistics, on the left is Zong Ze, the new veteran in charge of logistics, and on the right is Li Yanqing.

Yesterday evening, the seed master Dao has already talked with Li Yanqing, in order to speed up the operation of the Eighth Division, after Zong Ze is in charge of logistics, he will also serve as the Eighth Division's record to join the army, Li Yanqing will resign from this position, and devote himself to the Intelligence Division, which will be divided into internal divisions, external divisions, intelligence battalions and logistics battalions, the internal division is responsible for monitoring officials, arresting Xixia fine work, and the outer division is responsible for receiving and analyzing the intelligence of the spies of each military village, and at the same time managing the Song army sent abroad, and the logistics department is responsible for support.

General Li Yanqing is the head of the Intelligence Department to join the army, and Wu is the commander of the Intelligence Battalion, and he is no longer in charge of the Eighth Division, which will make the operation of the Intelligence Department more high-speed and powerful.

At this time, the door opened, and the first scholar walked in, bowed and saluted, "Student Zhang Ke is a kind of handsome!" ”
