Jiao Jin was afraid that he would scare Huang Hu away with his voice, so he only dared to pull him with his hands.

Bai Shuyu winked at him when he saw this, Jiao Jin nodded hurriedly, and once again confirmed that it was Huang Hu.

Bai Shuyu beckoned to Ge Dadi and the others.

The latter began to cheer up.

The three war horses of Huang Qiu and the others were extremely fast, and they came to Bai Shuyu and the others in the blink of an eye.

Jiao Jin Ge Dadi, they haven't moved yet, and they are in a hurry.

When the three horses crossed the woods where the two were hiding, there was no movement ahead.

Seeing that her mother was about to slip away from her eyes, a rope suddenly rose from the ground, and she crashed into it before she could dodge.

In an instant, the three war horses turned on their backs, and Huang Qiu and the others who were riding on horseback were thrown out fiercely.

This sudden situation made the three people in the palace not come back to their senses, and it was another chapter of beast hunting that forgot to fall from the sky, covering them in their heads.

"Who are you? Why? Huang Qiu was also taken aback by this scene and shouted loudly.

Then he saw five masked men in sackcloth, coming out of the dense forest without saying a word.

"Talk? Do you know who I am? If you offend me, you will kill your whole family! Huang Qiu shouted and threatened again.

Even the two black-armored guards who followed him tried to draw their swords and resist.

Just before they could make a move, a stick smashed into the head, smashing several people to pieces.

After doing these things, Ge Dadi stepped forward and hit Huang Qiu in gorgeous clothes.

This slammed into Huang Hu's calf, and with a scream, Huang Hu's calf also became seriously twisted.

"Who are you, I'm going to kill you, you brute! Lao Tzu's legs. ”

With Huang Qiu's roar, Ge Dadi and the others quickly collected the tripping rope and the trapping net and disappeared into the dense forest.

It's as if they never appeared.

They came and went in a hurry, and they didn't even make eye contact with Huang Hu from beginning to end.

After they left, the two black-armored soldiers who were covered in wounds hurriedly came to them and said, "Lord Huang, are you okay?" ”

"You said there was something, Lao Tzu's legs were broken." Huang Hu roared.

"Wait, you're going to catch up with those bastards now and get them all back." One person pulled out his sword with a bang, and was ready to rush into the dense forest.

"What's the use of going now, everyone's family is gone, hurry up and help me up."

After a brief period of anger, Huang Hu finally sobered up a little.

These people are obviously coming for him, but fortunately there is no malice, otherwise it would be as simple as not having one leg.

But who hates himself so much that he has to break one of his legs in this mountain road?

Huang Qiu couldn't figure it out after thinking about it.

At this time, a black-armored soldier said, "Could it be Nanke?" You came to trouble Nan Ke this time, he didn't dare to offend him in person, so he used this kind of subterfuge. ”

Huang Qiu thought about it, and before leaving, he gave Nan Ke 300 gold, and the two also had a business cooperation.

Whether it is long-term or short-term, it should be a common interest.

Even if the crown prince Wei Qin is, Nan Ke also needs his own good words, and offending himself will not do him any good.

"That guy doesn't have the guts, let alone the ability, he shouldn't have done this. And if I'm so close to him, he won't do it. Huang Qiu thought to himself, could it be too intimate and offended Nanke's enemy.

At this time, he also thought of one thing, in Changning County, Qian Yuhe was broken by someone, and it is said that this matter was done by Nan Ke.

"Let's go to Changning first." Huang Qiu said.

When the two black-armored guards heard this, they went to the vicinity to bring the frightened war horses, and then helped Huang Hu to get on the horse and leave together.

——

The days of recuperation in Yongping County always pass quickly.

Not to mention that there is a show next to him that can be called in exchange.

Let Nan Ke hate his own depravity a little.

Sure enough, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury.

It wasn't until the evening of that day that the good news of the bandits came.

The gang of bandits in Wohuling was all wiped out, and the head of the thieves was also arrested and hung outside the county office.

Because it was a steady and steady battle today, only the people who suppressed the bandits were injured and not killed, which also allowed Nan Ke to save a pension.

After all these bandits were sent to suppression, Nan Ke set up a banquet in the Dingguo Mansion to celebrate their victory.

The meal was eaten straight for almost an hour before it ended.

After it was over, Nan Ke sent away some inconsequential people and left some core backbones behind.

After Bai Shuyu, Ge Dadi, Jiao Jin, Jiao Ting, Pan Feng, Cripple and others were left in the audience, Nan Ke asked, "Today's matter is hard for everyone. ”

"It's not hard! It's all a rabble that's easy to deal with. Ge Dadi said excitedly.

Nan Ke's words have a double meaning, to Bai Shuyu they refer to Huang Qiu's business, and to Pan Feng they refer to the matter of suppressing bandits.

At this time, he had already passed through Jiao Jin and knew that Huang Qiu's matter had been done, which was why Ge Dadi was left behind at the small meeting.

"It's better to be careful, I hope that in the future, I can get the biggest victory with the least loss as I did today." Nan Ke smiled and said, "You have performed well in the past two days!" ”

Nan Ke's praise also made the faces of several people present bright.

At this time, Pan Feng opened his mouth and asked, "Grandpa Guo, can I ask, why do you want to clean up these bandits around you?" ”

Bai Shuyu once asked this question, and the answer Nan Ke gave at the beginning was that he wanted to form a guard.

Today, Pan Feng asked again, and Nan Ke had to give a different answer.

Because people like Bai Shuyu want to see long-term planning, rather than short-term gains and losses.

Like Pan Feng, although he can also use his brain, his vision is limited, and he can't see long-term things.

"Dingguo Gong Yimai, as one of the founding twelve princes of the Light Dynasty, has also been brilliant, but the state came to the country and failed, which made us Dingguo Gong angry. Over the years, he has been repeatedly squeezed out by his old opponents.

So much so that the dignified prince of the country is not as big as the fief of a county marquis, so he can only condescend to the land of this county.

I'm cracking down on bandits today because I want to make some changes.

The first is to clear the surrounding area and improve the agricultural and economic conditions of Yongping County, and the second is to re-recruit a usable guard to prepare for winning back more fiefdoms in the future. Nan Ke said in a deep voice.

"I know." Pan Feng nodded, and then stopped talking.

"Then what is your goal, Grandpa Guo?" Bai Shuyu asked softly.

"Get back all the fiefs that used to belong to the Duke of Dingguo." Nan Ke said in a deep voice.

In the past, when Dingguo Gong was in the most glorious time, with Wubo County as the center, across the land of six counties, almost half of Dingzhou was owned.

It is precisely because of this that he was crowned as the Duke of Dingguo.

But now only a small county remains.

If he can really get all these fiefdoms back, Nanke's reputation will definitely rise a lot.

"Grandpa Guo, so we can do the next thing." Ge Dadi also said excitedly when he heard this.

Bai Shuyu pondered when he heard this, and said: "If you want to win back all the previous fiefdoms, Grandpa Guo, you must work two things, one is trade, and the other is military and military. ”

To put it simply, trade refers to making money, and military means that you have to have a strong enough guard.

Although the Light Dynasty did not allow its subordinate vassals to attack each other, it allowed them to transfer their fiefs through trade.

In addition, private fiefdom gambling is also not banned.

Not only that, but every once in a while, the Guang Dynasty will also organize a larger military exercise to verify the strength of these vassals.

Those who rank lower will be deprived of a certain number of fiefs, while those who are at the top of the auction will be rewarded with fiefs.

This is also a way to obtain fiefdoms.

Therefore, if you want to get a more fiefdom, in addition to making yourself rich enough, you also need to make yourself strong enough.

For the emperor of the Light Dynasty, it didn't matter who the vassals were, he only cared about which vassals were stronger and could become my spear.

"Well, only by clearing the surrounding area can agriculture and trade be developed in Yongping County, and tax revenue can be improved. So this thing is a top priority. And the bandits can also help me quickly establish the team of the guard. Nan Ke nodded, agreeing with Bai Shuyu's words.

"So, all of us are already considered to be your guards?" Ge Dadi said excitedly when he heard this.

"Yes!" Nan Ke said with a smile: "In that case, I'll make an appointment in advance!" I appointed Ge Dadi as the commander-in-chief of the Dingzhou Army for the time being, and Bai Shuyu as the army. Today, you select the available people to be incorporated into the Dingzhou Army, and start building the framework as the core. ”

"Whoa! His subordinates will not disappoint Dingguo Gong. Ge Dadi hurriedly responded.

What is the greatest glory of being a dogleg.

One is that he was entrusted with a heavy task by the lord, and the other is that his lord has a lofty goal.

And Ge Dadi is standing on these two now, how can he not be happy.

Bai Shuyu frowned slightly, and said, "Grandpa Guo, the goods obtained in Wohuling today can be exchanged for about eighty gold. But this money is far from enough.

If we really want to set up the Dingzhou Army, we need more troops. Gejia Village alone will definitely not be satisfied, and we will have to recruit troops from more places.

In addition to this, the armor weapon also had to be dealt with. If it is so uneven, it will not be possible to conduct unified training, still less to form combat effectiveness. You have to think about all of these things. ”

Nan Ke nodded when he heard this, he naturally knew about this matter.

Raising an army is never a simple matter, in addition to these weapons problems, eating, drinking and Lazar is also a problem.

This requires a lot of money, and it is precisely because he does not dare to expand because he has no money at all.

Moreover, his previous reputation outside was too poor, and it was extremely difficult to recruit soldiers.

Now that we do something to suppress bandits, the people's reputation may not be the same.

Immediately, Nan Ke asked a question: "How much does it cost to arm an army of five hundred people?" ”
