Ning Xiaofan hurriedly said: "Oh, why is it so fast, there is no news before, why was it captured all of a sudden, Brother Zhao, you are not injured." ”

"I'm fine, alas, Cao Taishou's men have lost more than half. ”

Ning Xiaofan couldn't help frowning when he heard Zhao Jia's words.

"Brother Zhao, you won't bring all those remnants of Cao Xiong's soldiers. ”

Remnants?

Zhao Jia was slightly stunned when he heard Ning Xiaofan's words.

"General Ning, now these people can be dispatched by you. ”

Ning Xiaofan said, "Where are they now?"

"Just outside the valley, I didn't allow them to enter the valley because they didn't have General Ning's approval. ”

"Trouble!"

Ning Xiaofan frowned.

Zhao Jia and the people present were stunned when they heard Ning Xiaofan's words, obviously, all the people present were very puzzled, you must know that although Cao Xiong's subordinates were defeated, but after all, they were the regular army of the Song Kingdom, and their combat effectiveness would not be lower than that of the people on the side of the Ning family's army.

With the addition of these people, the strength of the Ning family army should have increased, why is Ning Xiaofan in trouble now?

Ning Xiaofan turned his head to look at Lu Wen.

"Inform all the shadow guards, closely monitor the main road between the Yunfeng Mountain Range and Linyang City, and report any news immediately. ”

When Lu Wen heard this, although he was also a little confused, he still nodded yes, and then summoned the shadow guards of the shadow guard department and began to leave the Black Wind Mountain quickly.

"General Ning, what are you?"

Zhao Jia looked at Ning Xiaofan in surprise.

Ning Xiaofan said: "Brother Zhao, the people who escaped from the defeat of Linyang City entered the Yunfeng Mountain Range, and there are many people, I am afraid that it is impossible to detect it with the reconnaissance methods of the Yuan Kingdom, if they want to kill them all, I am afraid that they will enter the Yunfeng Mountain Range to chase and kill, so they have to guard against it." ”

"Ahh ”

Zhao Jia was also very surprised when he heard Ning Xiaofan's words, obviously, before this, he had not thought of this, but now that he knew this, he was also a little worried.

After all, if the Yuan Kingdom really came to chase and kill, I'm afraid all the previous plans would be burned.

Ning Xiaofan smiled bitterly: "The matter has come to this, it's useless to worry, let's go, let's go see Brother Cao first." ”

Afterwards, Ning Xiaofan walked directly out of the cottage.

Zhao Jia looked at Ning Xiaofan's relaxed face, and was even more surprised, he really couldn't understand, how could Ning Xiaofan still be relaxed, you know, if Ning Xiaofan was really calculated, the Yuan army could enter the Yunfeng Mountain Range at any time, and at that time, I am afraid it would be difficult to do.

Although Ning Xiaofan was a little worried before, there was no more gloom in an instant.

After everyone walked out, they immediately saw the remnants of the defeated army outside.

The person at the head is Cao Xiong, and the person next to Cao Xiong is Ding Kui.

Some of the others are not familiar to Ning Xiaofan.

When they saw Ning Xiaofan and Zhao Jia coming out, Cao Xiong immediately got down from his war horse and hurriedly caught up.

"General Ning!"

Cao Xiong knew that he was now a defeated general, so he hurriedly saluted.

Ning Xiaofan hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Brother Cao, what are you doing, we are all brothers, besides, today's change is also expected, Brother Cao, don't take it to heart. ”

When Cao Xiong heard Ning Xiaofan's words, he really wanted to slap Ning Xiaofan.

This is indeed expected, because all of this was fueled by Ning Xiaofan, if it wasn't for Ning Xiaofan asking him to withdraw some of his soldiers and take away the materials of Linyang City, who knows what the situation would be now.

However, it is too late to say anything now, the Linyang City where he lives has been lost, and now he is really like a lost dog, and it is impossible to return to the past.

He, the former city lord of Linyang City, now has to be attached to Ning Xiaofan, the bandit leader.

"General Ning, from now on, I will be your subordinate. ”

When Cao Xiong said these words, his heart was dripping blood.

But there is nothing to be done.

Ning Xiaofan said: "Brother Cao is polite, if you don't do anything, we are all helping Zhao Gongzi, right?"

Cao Xiong nodded immediately when he heard Ning Xiaofan's words.

Ning Xiaofan turned his head to look at Zhao Jia who was standing next to him.

"Zhao Gongzi, when everything is done, don't forget Cao Taishou's kindness. ”

Zhao Jia was obviously stunned when he heard Ning Xiaofan's words.

At this time, Cao Xiong was startled, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Ning said that he laughed, this is all as it should be, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup for Zhao Gongzi." ”

Ning Xiaofan laughed.

"Zhao Gongzi, Brother Cao is loyal to you. ”

Zhao Jia laughed twice and didn't say anything.

Now whether it is him or Cao Xiong, they all belong to the fence here, Ning Xiaofan is the real king, only what Ning Xiaofan said is the holy decree, if he does not obey Ning Xiaofan's will, then no one can stay here.

Then Ning Xiaofan looked at the pair of centaurs in front of him again, and there were at least three or four thousand people.

Obviously, the tragic things that happened in Linyang City before had caused Cao Xiong to lose too many people, and now it is not easy to bring back so many.

"Let's not talk here, Brother Zhaogongzi Cao, let's go eat something first, rest and rest, Brother Ding, please take these brothers and Li Hu to camp together, and let the brothers rest for a while." ”

Ding Kui immediately looked at Cao Xiong when he heard Ning Xiaofan's words.

Cao Xiong understands that once he comes here, he has no say in his subordinates, in fact, when he came here, he was already very clear in his heart, he just wanted to hand over all these people to Ning Xiaofan, because only by handing them over to Ning Xiaofan might have the possibility of turning defeat into victory, otherwise, if he let him take these people to compete with the army of the Yuan Kingdom, it would be impossible at all, he didn't have that ability.

"Everything is subject to General Ning's arrangement. Cao Xiong looked at Ding Kui.

Ding Kui was obviously a little surprised when he heard Cao Xiong's words, but since Cao Xiong said this, he naturally would not disobey it, so he quickly nodded yes, and then commanded his subordinates to follow Li Hu, Ye Qing and others to camp together.

"Zhao Gongzi, Brother Cao, please. ”

Ning Xiaofan smiled and guided the two of them into the Heifeng Valley.

Entering this Black Wind Valley, Cao Xiong looked around, he was really surprised, in his impression how large a cottage can be, but entering this Feifeng Valley, Cao Xiong was really surprised, this Black Wind Valley really made him have a great change in a bandit cottage, most of the trees in this Black Wind Valley have been razed to the ground, and now this Black Wind Valley is simply like a densely populated town.

There are more people here, even more than the average town.

"Mr. Ning, how can there be so many ...... here?"

Cao Xiong looked at the people here with some surprise, and hurriedly looked at Ning Xiaofan.

Ning Xiaofan smiled and said: "You mean why these people are not soldiers, right? Most of the people here are the families of the soldiers of the Ning family, since the brothers of the Ning family army followed me to life and death, of course I have to ensure the safety of their families, this is where I live, and their families also live here, if I am still alive, then their families will definitely be fine, if they want their families to have an accident, then they have to dispose of me Ning Xiaofan first." ”

At this time, many people were queuing not far away, and the line was very neat, and they received some things and left in a hurry.

Of course, Ning Xiaofan saw the doubts of Zhao Jia and Cao Xiong.

"You are wondering what they are doing, they are receiving the food of the day, Ning Jiajun stipulates that every family will receive a certain amount of money and food for their normal life. ”

"Are you saying that they can come and receive it every day? I don't think they paid any money, do you mean that they don't need any money?" Cao Xiong looked at Ning Xiaofan in surprise.

Ning Xiaofan said: "Of course, the men in their family have all come out to serve as soldiers, so naturally they have to ensure their normal life, if they can't ensure their normal life, why should the men in their family come out to be soldiers?"

Zhao Jia and Cao Xiong listened to Ning Xiaofan's words, obviously they were very surprised, they never expected that Ning Xiaofan would manage their Ning family army like this.

Now they completely understood why Ning Xiaofan was able to gather all the bandits in the originally chaotic Yunfeng Mountain Range in just one or two months and turn them into a regular army.

In the past, those people were bandits, they were all running around for three meals a day, and they could even give their lives to eat, but now that Ning Xiaofan gave them a regular and quantitative stable life, would they no longer have to work hard to eat? So of course they would be loyal to Ning Xiaofan, and there would be no betrayal at all.

At least for now, there will be absolutely no betrayal, because no one can be so selfless as Ning Xiaofan at present.

At least in the eyes of ordinary people, Ning Xiaofan is selfless in doing so.

"Before, I was very surprised, why General Ning was able to gather the heroes of the Yunfeng Mountain Range so quickly, now I understand. ”

Ning Xiaofan laughed.

"Although they are all heroes of the green forest, but they are more righteous, in the future, I think when they walk out of the Yunfeng Mountain Range and walk in the Great Xia Empire, I think they must be all men who stand up to the sky, maybe in the future, the Great Xia Empire will still count on them." ”

Zhao Jia was a little surprised when he heard Ning Xiaofan say the four words of the Great Xia Empire, because what Ning Xiaofan was talking about was the Great Xia Empire, not their Song Kingdom, what was Ning Xiaofan's purpose now? Could it be for the Great Xia Empire?

Then Ning Xiaofan and the others came to the side of the office building, Ning Xiaofan first invited them in, and then told Wang Zhong next to him.

"Arrange the residences of Zhao Gongzi and General Cao, they are all VIPs, at least according to the level of the battalion commander, understand?"

Mr. Wang immediately nodded yes, and then left quickly.
