The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

"Village leader, we are willing!"

"But I hope the village chief can take good care of my family."

Looking at Cai Sheng kneeling on the ground, Liu Sandao and others knelt down one after another.

They all knew Cai Sheng's difficulties and that he had to make sacrifices for the sake of the entire village.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of your family and make sure they are well fed and warmly clothed."

Looking at everyone, Cai Sheng spoke.

"General Zhang, these people are now in your care!"

Then Cai Sheng turned around and said to Zhang Liao.

"Ok!"

Zhang Liao nodded lightly, and then signaled the soldiers to tie up Liu Sandao and others.

"You don't have to be afraid. We tied you up just to prevent you from escaping. We will untie you after we return to Hulan."

Seeing the panic on everyone's faces, Zhang Liao spoke slowly.

"Thank you, General Zhang!"

Everyone said hurriedly, although they were still nervous, they still obeyed and were tied up obediently.

"You all should go and help. Help the people pack up and leave tomorrow morning!"

Then Cai Sheng waved his hand and asked the rest of the people to disperse.

Next, the entire Qinglong Village became extremely lively.

Everyone was busy preparing to take away their belongings.

Silent all night.

At dawn the next day, Cai Sheng led all the villagers and set out towards Hulun.

Qinglongzhai is not close to Hulan.

In addition, there are old, weak, women and children, so the speed is extremely slow.

It took five days from departure to arrival in Hulun.

During this period, Ning Quan was not idle either.

Arrange in advance to divide the village and land, and set up tents in preparation for the arrival of the people.

Based on the number of people obtained, Ning Quan divided the more than 11,000 people into groups of 500 and resettled them in more than 20 villages.

Each village has about a hundred households, and each household is provided with cattle, sheep, food, farm tools and other supplies.

After five days of intense preparation, everything was finally done before the people arrived.

At this time, the Qinglongzhai team was about to arrive in Hulan.

"Master Cai, look, Hulan City is just ahead."

At the front of the team, Zhang Liao pointed at Hulan City in front and said.

"Hulan City has changed so much."

Cai Sheng looked at Hulun City and sighed.

The Hulun City in front of me has completely changed compared to before.

The area was expanded three times and the city wall was raised to about five meters.

Flags were flying on the city walls, and soldiers were patrolling and guarding them.

At this moment, the Hucheng Gate has been opened.

A group of people were standing outside the city gate, led by a young man.

It was Ning Quan.

"Master Cai, this is the Ninth Prince."

Coming closer, Zhang Liao hurriedly introduced Cai Sheng.

"Meet His Highness Ninth Prince."

Hearing this, Cai Sheng immediately knelt down and bowed.

The people behind him did not dare to be negligent and knelt on the ground one after another.

"Master Cai, please don't be polite."

"Everyone, get up too."

Looking at the crowd of people kneeling on the ground in front of him, Ning Quan said with a smile.

The submission of Qinglong Village is definitely a great joyous event.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Cai Sheng stood up and said respectfully.

"I am very happy that Master Cai has surrendered."

"Let's go, follow me into the city first. I will host a banquet for you tonight."

Ning Quan greeted with a smile.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"

"But what about the people?"

Hearing this, Cai Sheng hurriedly thanked him, then hesitated.

“The people don’t go into the city; they go directly to their assigned villages.”

"Don't worry, I have prepared food, clothing, shelter and transportation for them."

"As for your men, they will go directly to the military camp. From now on, they are my subordinates. I will not treat them unfairly."

Ning Quan explained.

"Your Highness is kind and righteous."

Hearing this, Cai Sheng hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Then, Cai Sheng followed Ning Quan into Hulun City.

At this moment, Hulun City was still bustling with activity, with countless slaves working under the supervision of soldiers.

"So many slaves?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Cai Sheng was surprised.

"Well, they are all slaves bought by this king."

"As you know, Hulan is a vast place with a sparse population. We are in urgent need of population. We can't find that many people at the moment, so we can only use slaves to make up the number."

"The key is that Hulan needs more labor, otherwise it will be impossible to expand the city."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Your Highness is very courageous."

After hearing this, Cai Sheng sighed.

Liu Hong and others also had faces full of admiration.

At the same time, they were secretly glad that it was the right decision to join Ning Quan.

"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. If we don't have a strong city, how can we resist the Huns?"

Ning Quan said with a smile, and then took Cai Sheng and others to the county government office.

After arriving at the county government office, Ning Quan first introduced Zhuge Liang and others to Cai Sheng.

Afterwards, Cai Sheng also introduced Liu Hong and others to Ning Quan and others.

After both sides got acquainted with each other, they took their seats.

"Prime Minister, please first explain the resettlement situation of the people to Cai Zhaizhu, so as to avoid his worry."

Ning Quan spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang quickly stood up and then recounted the situation of the resettlement of the people.

"Your Highness is kind and loving. I am deeply grateful to you."

"From today on, I will devote myself to this cause until my death!"

After listening to Zhuge Liang's introduction, Cai Sheng was immediately relieved and hurriedly thanked him.

"Haha, you're welcome. This is what I should do!"

"As for your subordinates, I've already told you that they will all serve under me. You can rest assured."

"As for you, there are several other leaders. If you don't mind, you can all stay and serve me."

"I will first appoint you as deputy general, and the others as lieutenant generals. I will reward them further for their meritorious service in the future."

"I wonder if you are satisfied with this arrangement?"

Ning Quan asked with a smile.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for your majesty."

Upon hearing this, Cai Sheng and others quickly knelt down and bowed.

How could they not be satisfied when they suddenly became generals from bandits?

This is simply a step to heaven, okay?

"Okay, in that case, let the Prime Minister take you downstairs and settle you down first!"

"Tonight, I will host a banquet for you all."

Ning Quan said with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After saying that, Cai Sheng and others followed Zhuge Liang out of the hall.

"General Li, do you think these soldiers from Qinglong Village are still useful?"

After everyone left, Ning Quan looked at Li Jing and asked.

"Your Majesty, they are all capable of use. They just require proper training."

Li Jing answered immediately.

"Well, I'll leave the training to you. Try to get them into a full-fledged army as soon as possible."

"I will obey your orders!"

"If we include them, we should have quite a few troops, maybe 20,000 or so?"

After thinking for a moment, Ning Quan suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, if you include these men, our total military strength exceeds 30,000."

Li Jing replied.

"Over 30,000? Is that really that many?"

Hearing this, Ning Quan was immediately surprised.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"We had 2,000 soldiers before, and we recruited 2,000 more, so that makes 4,000."

"In addition, we have 5,000 Persian soldiers and 4,000 Donghu soldiers. Counting the 10,000 from Qinglongzhai, the total is 23,000."

"Adding the 8,000 light and heavy cavalry and auxiliary troops summoned by His Highness, the total is 31,000."

Li Jing gave a detailed introduction.
