A few days later.
Jizhou City.
In the governor's mansion.
After a brief inspection of the three towns.
Wang Ke returned to his hometown.
Take a day off.
He came to the meeting hall.
Although, Jizhou City is not like those important towns in the Central Plains.
However, there are as many as five or six government documents that have not been reviewed in the past few days.
"It seems that in this high-level martial arts world, internal affairs talents are still very important..."
Looking through the official documents.
Wang Ke felt a headache.
I couldn't help but think.
At this moment.
A soldier guarding the outside came in and reported: "Envoy, General Ling is outside asking for an audience!"
"Ling Wei?"
Wang Ke's eyes wandered, and then he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to lead Ling Wei in.
Soon.
Ling Wei arrived with a scroll.
He bowed and saluted, and said: "My lord, I have been stationed at the Recruitment Hall for the past few days and have gained a little. Please check it out, my lord!"
While talking.
He handed the scroll in his hand to Wang Ke's hand.
Because the location is bitterly cold.
Wang Ke didn't count on how many talents he could recruit.
at this time.
When he saw that Ling Wei had sent a roster, he was quite happy and immediately opened it and looked at it carefully.
but.
He looked over it several times.
There are no famous figures in this line.
Instead, there were more local rangers and down-and-out scribes.
"What are the talents of these people?"
Wang Ke was slightly disappointed, raised his head and asked Ling Wei.
Ling Wei replied: "Your Majesty, this Jizhou City is located on the border with a small population. Moreover, since the Lord has just arrived, the foundation is not yet stable. Although there are no talented people to join us, there are still some people who can be used."
Wang Ke frowned slightly, sighed, and said: "It is true that my foundation is not stable. Most talented people are still on the sidelines and will not join them immediately... However, is there anything that has happened recently that can help me establish my authority?" What about lifting?"
Hearing the words, Ling Wei thought for a while, then he raised his hands and said: "My lord, a few days ago, when I was recruiting talents, I met a horse dealer. This man is in some troubles. If I can help him, my lord's prestige will be established." Got off."
"Oh? What kind of businessman has such ability?"
Wang Ke asked with some interest.
"These horse dealers are two brothers. They were descendants of the Ashina clan from the Turkic Kingdom. However, their family fell into decline and they could only make a living by selling horses and cattle. However, with their family surnames, the two brothers can be regarded as well-known in northern Xinjiang. The number one deal... But, a few days ago, they ran into trouble..."
Ling Wei bowed his hands and explained to Wang Ke carefully.
Wang Ke waved his hand and said, "Keep talking."
Ling Wei nodded and continued: "More than ten days ago, two brothers escorted horses from Liaodong and encountered a foreign tribe on the way. It was normal to encounter foreign tribes on the grassland, but this group of foreign tribesmen were very arrogant. Taking advantage of the darkness, they attacked the caravan and plundered the horses. The two brothers fought to their death and ran out. After wandering for many days, they came to our city of Jizhou. They saw that we were recruiting talents, so they wanted to ask for our help."
"What are the names of those two horse traders?"
Wang Ke looked at Ling Wei and asked.
"Those two people's real surnames are Ashina, but when they came to Sui Dynasty, they changed their surnames to Han for convenience. The elder brother is called Shi Danai, and the younger brother is called Shi Dayi."
Ling Wei replied.
"It turns out it was the two of them..."
When Wang Ke heard these two names, he felt slightly happy.
Shi Danai and Shi Dayi are both well-known figures in Sui and Tang dynasty storytelling novels and film and television dramas.
In the story of storytelling.
Stanai is considered a comedy hero. In the end, he followed many fierce generals in the north and south, joined the Tang Dynasty, and was rewarded.
And Shi Danai’s brother Shi Dayi.
He is a fictional character in "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", a film and television drama that Wang Ke particularly liked back then.
at this time.
Seeing that the names of these two people were mentioned by Ling Wei.
Wang Ke immediately decided to ask Ling Wei to bring the two of them to meet him.
at the same time.
Within these few days.
The Shi brothers living in Jizhou City are also like ants on a hot pot.
They asked Ling Wei for help.
But a few days passed.
Ling Wei never gave an answer.
Unexpectedly, on this day,
I heard that Wang Ke wanted to meet the two of them.
Shi Danai and Shi Dayi were so happy that they immediately brought gifts and came to Wang Ke's house.
…
"Grassmen Shi Danai and Shi Dayi, pay their respects to General Wang!"
The residence of the governor of Jizhou.
Inside the meeting hall.
Wang Ke, dressed in military uniform and with a cold and majestic face, met with the Shi brothers.
As soon as the two brothers entered the hall, they were intimidated by Wang Ke's momentum. They immediately fell to their knees and kowtowed.
"Both of you, please get up and speak."
Wang Ke nodded slightly and said slowly.
While talking.
While using the simulator, he checked the basic information of the two people.
Let’s talk about the burly Stanai first, with a body like a bear and a tiger, and a very conspicuous big belly.
[Name: Shi Danai,
Age: twenty-two years old,
Weapon: Golden-backed machete (one hundred and sixty pounds),
Mount: Iron green leopard horse,
Martial Arts: Lone Wolf Sword Technique (Dacheng),
Technique: None,
General: None. 】
Besides, Shi Dayi has a resolute appearance and calm demeanor, and is more strategic than Shi Danai.
[Name: Shi Dayi,
Age: twenty-one years old,
Weapon: Silver-backed fan knife (one hundred and fifty pounds),
Mount: Plum Blossom Idea Horse,
Martial Arts: Lone Wolf Sword Technique,
Technique: None,
General: None. 】
"Although these two people are not as powerful as Wang Jun and other first-class warriors, they are still pretty good..."
Wang Ke looked at the basic information of the two people, nodded slightly, and said.
Hearing this, Shi Danai and Shi Dayi stood up together and thanked Wang Ke again.
With a smile on his face, Wang Ke asked the two of them: "You two are here, what do you want from each other?"
Shi Danai said: "I have heard the general's name for a long time. We humble people do not dare to pay homage rashly. Today I am invited by the general. I will prepare a small gift for him!"
While talking.
Shi Danai took out the gift list and handed it to Wang Ke.
Seeing this, Wang Tianyou, who was guarding Wang Ke, walked down quickly, took the gift list, and placed it in front of Wang Ke.
"Three hundred northern war horses, five hundred sets of saddles and stirrups... You two are so generous. However, I am not a person who receives salary without merit. If you two have something to do, please speak up!"
After Wang Ke read the gift list, he immediately put it aside and said slowly.
Hearing this, Shi Danai stepped forward, clasped his fists with both hands, and said loudly: "General! We really have something to ask for, and I ask the general to draw his sword and help!"
Say it.
He pushed the golden mountain over the jade pillar, knelt down on the ground again, and said in his mouth.
"Please tell me something!"
Wang Ke waved his hand and asked Shi Danai to stand up.
Immediately afterwards.
Shi Danai told Wang Ke everything about his experience.
…
turn out to be.
Not that long ago.
Shi Danai and others passed through the Great Wall and encountered a group of foreign cavalry that they had never seen before.
These people were cruel and murderous. If they disagreed, they would attack Shi Danai and others at night.
Stanai has been traveling in the north for many years, so he naturally knows how to deal with local snakes everywhere, so his precautions are somewhat lax.
Therefore.
Shi Danai and others suffered heavy losses.
In addition to his own horses being robbed.
The three to five hundred rangers he had under his command were slaughtered to pieces, and only twelve or three people fled to Jizhou City with him desperately.
