"Very well, I am glad that you are willing to stay. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā" Yan Guan glanced around the faces of the crowd and smiled with satisfaction, "We need warriors like you. ”

According to his thoughts, although these people have no experience in fighting, but after all, this is a mine, they are more familiar with the terrain, which can help them build fortifications better, and in addition, these people who have been working in the mine all year round have very strong bones, and in the future, they may be more suitable to become a qualified soldier than those refugees with yellow faces and thin muscles before.

Just as he was immersed in his plans for the future, Liang Mingfeng next to him raised his chin.

"Why did you stay?"

He didn't believe that the strong personality of the orthodox new emperor could make these people stay, and of course he didn't think that they had particularly big ambitions.

His eyes fell on the stout man standing at the front of the crowd, and the others focused on him.

It was evident that this man had a shrewd eye and was trusted by the other miners.

"I think Your Majesty has a place where we are needed." The large, dark-skinned, stout man took a step forward.

Because of his years of work in the mines, the man's body was covered with stone chips and black ash, his skin was rough, his lips were chapped, and his two exposed arms, which were dark and stout, with small scars caused by mining.

"Those of us who don't know anything other than mining. But since this is a mine, no one is more familiar with this place than us, and the passage in the mine is very complicated, and it will be very difficult for you to mine without us. ”

Others won't, to put it bluntly, I just don't want to fight, it's better to let them play their value than to be cannon fodder, and this man has made his value very clear.

"Smart man, what's your name?" Liang Mingfeng leaned forward half of his body, and there was a glimmer of light in the dead fish's eyes.

"Wu Jian." The man replied short and forcefully, a pair of dark eyes staring straight at him.

From the beginning, when Liang Mingfeng said that they should choose to stay freely, they were waiting for this moment.

Although it is hard to find thousands of waters, the sand is blown away and the gold is reached.

When those who are not suitable are screened out, most of the ones who stay are what he wants.

A person who stays with free will, is not persecuted, and clearly knows his own worth, with a strong purpose.

Very good collaborators.

"Very good, Wu Jian."

Liang Mingfeng raised his head and gave Yan Guan a look.

After all, it was an old fox who had been mixed up for so many years, Yan Guan immediately came to his senses, and after a long time, this person named Wu Jian repeatedly emphasized his ability, and said that the terrain here is complicated, and he needs them or something, just for-

"Ahem." He coughed twice, "In that case, Your Majesty, I suggest that they be offered some rewards, after all, we are the teachers of benevolence and righteousness. ”

The corners of Liang Mingfeng's mouth rose slightly, "Then listen to the general, since you are sincere and obedient, we will definitely not treat you badly, how much salary the puppet emperor gave you before, we will double it." ”

Hearing his promise, the miners all showed a look of relief.

Liang Mingfeng's gaze fell on the foreman named Wu Jian, this person is brave and resourceful, and he should be able to come in handy in the future.

Defecting to Beisha for the sake of profit, although it seems to be an act of licking blood with a knife, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually quite cost-effective.

Miners, especially experienced and skilled miners, have always been in need of a large mine-producing country like Shajianguo, as long as they do not take the initiative to participate in frontal battles, basically there will be no danger to their lives, even if the Fubao mine is recaptured by Nansha later, most of these people are not in danger of life.

In case, Beisha can gain a foothold and have a slim chance of overthrowing the current puppet emperor, then these people who participated in the defense construction at the beginning and pointed out the terrain for Beisha will be indispensable.

Now they can still get double the reward they used to make, which is simply risk-free and profitable.

……

Because of the influence of the Qiankun Mirror, in this information age, communication has shortened the distance between people, and at the same time, the news of the occupation of the Fubao mine has spread quickly.

"What?!" Chen Zhou was too guarded by Jian Kuobei and sat up from the recliner at once.

scared Shanu, who was lying next to him and beating his legs....

Jian Kuobei looked at the time, it was two o'clock in the morning.

"My lord, it's true, we have received the news that it is indeed occupied. And according to the reports of the people in the mine, the defenders have all been killed by the Beisha rebels. The little colonel standing in front of him reported.

"How is this possible?!" Jian Kuobei looked ahead in a daze, and only received news from Kedong in the afternoon, who knew that it was true, these Northern Sand Army bypassed a third of the Sand Sword Kingdom to fight here.

"And where are they now?"

He hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, if he hit Chen Zhou, they would still realize it, wouldn't their butts be cold?

"Your Excellency. My lord. Seeing his flustered appearance, Xiao Xiao quickly reminded, "Don't panic, my lord, there is no movement of enemy troops near Chen Zhou." ”

Hearing this, Jian Kuobei paused for a moment, and then slowly sat back on the recliner.

Although I was a little relieved, I still had a sense of unreality like in a dream.

"So, their target is just the mines?"

Xiao Xiao nodded, "It seems that this is the case at the moment, and it is strange that they actually let the miners go." ”

"Staying is just a hindrance, and it's going to be harder to block news." Jian Kuobei regained his usual composure, and his brain began to work.

He looked at the colonel and asked, "How many enemy troops are there?" ”

Xiao Xiao shook his head, "I don't know, it is said that many people look like." ”

Jian Kuobei didn't say a word, and cold sweat slowly seeped out from his forehead.

He knew very well in his heart what was going on with the unusable fortifications at the southern foot and a group of lazy and laid-back defenders.

In this era of incomparably advanced communications, it is obvious that the occupation of the mine cannot be concealed, and these rebels must be held accountable and dealt with as soon as possible.

"Tell the General. Wait, I'll do it myself. Jian Kuobei put down the hand he had just raised and thought quietly.

They should have known by now that the presence of enemy troops in the rear would cause great panic.

"Quick, go and get all the men, let's leave at dawn."

Jian Kuobei stood up, "No matter what, we have to take the mine back." ”

……

At this time, according to the agreement, on the east side of the Fubao mine, a young man dressed in white appeared.

A delicate face, a tall nose, and clear eyes with a smile.

He looked up at the heavens.

The moonlight is bright, and it came just right.
