"One person, one sword, one banner to guard the emperor, this person is not an easy role, you wait for peace." Wang Ji sat in the official room, his waist was straight and his eyes were sharp, if it weren't for the fact that his hair was like snow, he really couldn't believe that this old man who was over seventy years old, and ordinary people in his forties and fifties might not have his body and complexion.

Sitting on both sides, it is naturally the old man under his hands, the evil in the battle array, the tiger in the battlefield, sitting there and not daring to relax at all, this old handsome man has been in the army for a long time, and he pays attention to the prohibition of orders, and absolutely no one dares to play and laugh in front of him.

Wang Ji stroked his snow-white long beard, exhaled a turbid breath from his nostrils, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said to the generals on the side: "Xiao Maozi, you can say it." The old man knows that you are afraid that you are not used to Ding Rongcheng, but one is one, two is two, don't play tricks in words. ”

On the side, Mao Fushou got up and answered loudly, looked at Wang Ji and nodded, and then sat down again.

Don't say whether you dare or not, you want to play tricks in front of this boss, but Mao Fushou feels that he doesn't have this level. You must know that Wang Ji is not a military attaché, he is a civil official, not Yang Shan's fortunate background, Yongle's four-year real jinshi. In the ninth year of Xuande, when he was the secretary of the military department, Yu Qian was still serving as the right attendant.

What hasn't this old man seen before?

Mao Fushou didn't dare to chew his tongue, and honestly told Ding Yi's actions in the defense of Beijing one by one.

After finishing speaking, he hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "According to the confession of the captured Warat soldiers, Ding Rongcheng does have the fierce name of 'Abang Rakshasa' in Warat, and it is said that there are all kinds of gods and bravery, and they can curse people to death. He also said that there was witchcraft to call on the real name of others in their previous lives. It can make the fire of the earth rise and burn through the earth; It is also said that it is the night wandering god, who has the magic power to govern the night, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, he can't hold Ding Rongcheng in the night, so he can guard the emperor from Maoerzhuang all the way out of the general. ”

Wang Ji frowned, cut his two white eyebrows, and waved his hand: "Although the barbarians are brave, what do you know?" Is it worth mentioning such words? What, what's the matter? Because he saw Mao Fushou's expression of wanting to speak and stopping. said to him at the moment, "Just say it, but it's not the imperial history, and those unfounded legends will not be repeated." ”

Mao Fushou smiled bitterly and said, "The young general dares to show off in front of the boss? but interrogated more than 300 Warats. More than 200 people claimed to have witnessed the events described at the time. There are dozens more. It was that night when Ding Rongcheng killed the Maoerzhuang camp, he rode his horse to catch up...... The young general didn't believe it either, and only asked those people separately, but they were all the same. In particular, Ding Yi's single-handedly defeated Warat famous brave general Min An and his fifty warriors killed thirty or forty people, and only about a dozen people fled. There should be no falsehood. ”

Wang Ji couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, and after the separate interrogation, he said the same, then I'm afraid that there is a chance that something is really going on! Or maybe someone did some trick, but at least the lethality is real. However, Wang Ji's level is different from Mao Fushou. Moved was just a pause in the hand that stroked the beard.

"That's it, but it's not worth the eyes of my generation, one person killed thirty or fifty brave people, although brave, it is always the courage of a horseman." The old man shook his head and tapped lightly on the desk, but said, "Nine people set foot in the camp in the starry night, relieved the trap of seven hundred prisoners, and returned without any casualties, this is the most terrifying part." ”

The subordinates are all soldiers, and Mao Fushou, the deputy governor, is only called Xiao Maozi here, and some generals nodded and said: "In this way, although his disciples are from military families, they are not inferior to generals!" Otherwise, An can bring back 700 people safely? "This person should have a trick in the military strategy, and the four words of the last resort are deserved, how to set foot on the camp, pull out the sentry, light the fire, save people, and retreat, before you want to get out of the city, you have planned properly, and the ghost is talented!" ”

Someone else said: "You are amazed, I am amazed at this person's ability in the way of military training, seven hundred prisoners, in a few days, can be arrayed in front of thousands of iron horses, miraculous skills!" Something that is beyond the reach of a human being! "That's true! In Tumu Fort, all the armies are in chaos, why can this person and his protégé still be separated? Are they not hungry? Not thirsty? Really reach the stupid Cheng dù? ”

"Library, library!" But it was Lord Wang who gently knocked on the table, and immediately these generals quieted down.

Wang Ji pushed away the teacup and stood up, stood up and looked out the window, and said for a long time: "What a ruthless method!" ”

Before everyone could react for a while, they heard the old man turn around, look at the generals and ask, "How many soldiers have been captured by Warat?" How many of them, seven hundred? Even 7,000 people are more than that! When he rescued people, he did so by picking, which is why after a few days, these 700 people could form an army! ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but they were all old soldiers, and they could figure it out if they broke it, and they nodded unconsciously.

"What about the rest? What about the rest of the captives? Why did the 700 people speak in unison and never bring up this topic? It was only said that there were 700 of them, and they came out of the Wara camp, except for a few people who wanted to escape on the road, they were killed by Ding Rongcheng's disciples, and there were no other casualties? Wang Ji paced with a cold face, "The old man knows why, because Ding Rongcheng only has seven hundred people, and these seven hundred people have snatched a chance to survive among the other captives, and the others are all dead, or become bait, or are abandoned." Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, Ding Rongcheng has really achieved the ultimate in these four words, and the so-called natural handsomeness is nothing more than that! ”

Naturally, some people at the bottom were not convinced or disagreed, thinking that although Ding was capable, he couldn't afford to be so respected by the old handsome, but Wang Ji's cold eyes swept over, but he said unceremoniously: "This is the real regard for human life as a mustard, this person is not only ruthless to the enemy, but also ruthless to himself, nineteen-year-old five-grade official, just resign, which of you can do it?" The old man can't do it by himself. Ding Rongcheng was in Nanzhili for a day, and he waited for a day to clamp his tail, no matter what he said or did, even if he climbed into your woman's bed, he would endure it for the old man! Did you hear it all? ”

"Yuwei!" The generals under his command stood up to receive the order, as if they were still in the big tent of the battlefield.

Ding Yi didn't know that his plan had been roughly restored by these old and large military leaders. He led Ji Da, Liu Tie and Xie Yucheng to teach a few students, as well as fifty students of Thunder Academy, and was camping on the way to Nanjing, but it was this ferry that met the old man.

But it was Li Chun, the petty officer who ate beef and drank with him before he pulled out a knife in the snow and killed more than a dozen gangsters. The man didn't seem to remember Ding Yi, if Ding Yi hadn't called him two words and called out his name, he wouldn't have greeted Ding Yi at all.

"Why is Brother Li here?" Ding Yi couldn't help but ask in surprise, this Li Chun met him by chance that day, and he was very old in talking about everything in the army, and he was very familiar with a single word, no matter how he said that the private school was absolutely fine, and besides, wasn't it an officer in the regimental camp? How did you end up here to be a ferryman?

Pulling up the penny and tying the ferry, Li Chun untied the wine gourd on his waist and shook it, but there was no sound, and he said to Ding Yi with some embarrassment on his face: "I can't invite you to drink today." Where are you going with these people? ”

"These are the younger brother's students, just take them out to play." Ding Yi habitually protected himself, and brought a few words to the past, but asked about Li Chun's situation again.

It seems that this is much calmer and calmer when he talks about his experience when he talks about Ding Yi without wine: "I was originally a remnant of Jin Wuwei's army, and I was pulled in by the regiment camp since the war...... Later, brother, you also know that if you offended the commander-in-chief, but such a person, you taught me to watch, how can you ignore it? He is very free, but there is a faint bitterness between his eyebrows, "I can make a living by holding the boat, but it is my lady." In a few days, let's find out if anyone has hired a private school teacher, so let's try our luck! Brother Tai, I'm really sorry, I have to meet an old person, but I can't even afford to invite you with a glass of bad wine! ”

He seemed to be sorry for inviting Ding Yi to drink, and he minded a lot.

Ding Yi liked this Li Chun's free and easy, and immediately taught Jida to get wine - this guy has always carried a few bags of wine since Ding Yi came to Daming, and handed a bag to Li Chun and said with a smile: "I brew it at home, Brother Li can try it, but it is a little superior, it is best to drink it when I go home, but don't be greedy for a cup when I am ferrying, and my sister-in-law is worried." ”

Li Chun was not happy to hear it, so he was about to pull out the cork and drink bitterly, but as soon as Ding mentioned his daughter-in-law, he sighed, nodded, and said in a low voice: "You are right, it has already hurt her, but you can't let her worry anymore." While speaking, Liu Tie was waiting by his side, Xie Yucheng and Jida had already led fifty students to start camping, and there were several more tents at the ferry in a short time.

From afar, I heard a woman exclaiming, "Why do you have so many tents?" But when he saw Li Chun next to him, he jumped up and greeted him, his face that was blown red by the wind was filled with inexplicable tenderness. He ran over, snatched the food box from the woman's hand, pointed to them, and said something cheerfully.

When he got closer, he heard Li Chun say to the woman: "This is Brother Ding of Rongcheng!" He also introduced to Ding Yi, "This is cheap." ”

The woman looked tired of her livelihood, and there were some traces of labor, such as the calluses on her hands, the wind and frost on her face, but looking at Ben was also a delicate embryo, at this time, listening to Li Chun's introduction, she crossed her hands and squatted on her side to salute Ding, and praised in her mouth: "I have seen Uncle Ding." ”

Ding Yi hurriedly returned the salute, but Li Chun untied his back pocket from his daughter-in-law, picked up the child who was about two or three years old in the back pocket, and kept teasing him, the child was amused and laughed, Li Chun pointed to Ding Yi and taught him and said, "This is Dad's friend, what should you call it?" ”

"Uncle!" The little man was quite well-behaved.

Ding Yi praised it, pinched his little face and asked, "Good!" What's your name? ”

"My surname is Li, Muzi Li, and my father named me Dongyang." (To be continued......)
