dungeon.
"I don't want to change you, Tianshu, you have your own thoughts, that's right, but do you see the current situation clearly?"
"You are already my prisoner. Do you think Skynet will try its best to rescue you?"
"So what if you are a martial arts master? If Skynet lacks a master like you, it will not be able to operate in the future?"
Luo Fengtang asked several questions in succession.
Then, without waiting for Tianshu to answer, he stepped outside.
It is impossible to get good results today. You must give Tianshu some time.
After closing the door inside the dungeon, Luo Fengtang and Zi Yan returned to the wing outside.
It was very warm in the wing, and the servants and maids brought hot soup to warm my stomach.
Even if it's cold outside, you don't have to worry about getting cold inside.
"It's going to snow soon."
Zi Yan took a sip of hot soup and glanced at the dark sky outside the window.
The time is getting closer and closer to the Chinese New Year.
In such weather, it was very cold outside. Neither Luo Fengtang nor Yang Yuanhua of the Yang family in Bozhou had the ability to drive the army to attack.
"I think Skynet will not rescue Tianshu. Not only will they not rescue Tianshu, they will even completely evacuate Yizhou."
"We won't all evacuate, but a few people will remain in the area to maintain contact."
Luo Fengtang nodded. He sat next to the stove and rubbed his hands to warm up.
Martial arts masters are just physically much stronger than ordinary people, but they are not completely immune to the cold.
It is beyond the imagination of ignorant people to say that after practicing martial arts, the cold and heat are not invaded, and one can only wear one thing in summer and winter.
Even if you practice martial arts and become a martial arts master, you can't do it.
"Don't worry about Skynet. After this battle, Skynet in the southwest will be severely damaged. They will shrink like a turtle."
"What I'm worried about now is how to train Yizhou's soldiers."
"I originally thought that Yang Huchen was only corrupt, but I didn't expect that he was not only corrupt, he was also incompetent!"
"Look at the soldiers he leads. He is not a qualified general."
Luo Fengtang snorted coldly.
He originally thought of using veterans as the foundation and backbone, and then recruiting new soldiers. This way, the old and new would be brought in, and combat effectiveness could be formed faster.
Now it seems that Yizhou's soldiers may not be ready for use unless they undergo major reforms and training.
It takes time to make major changes and practice, and what he lacks most is time.
Next spring, he will definitely launch an offensive.
The battle against rebellion in the southwest cannot be delayed.
If it takes as long as it did to deal with the rebels, the finances of the Da Qi court will definitely go bankrupt.
Even the court funding he receives now is obtained by using additional national debt, which is an overdraft of the national finance.
"It's not like there are no soldiers who are mature enough to fight..." Zi Yan said slowly.
"Where is it?" Luo Fengtang asked doubtfully.
"Master Marquis, there are two places with capable soldiers."
Zi Yan raised two fingers.
"One is the indigenous people in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. I went to the mountains to talk about the ancient customs of the ancient tribes. They fight all year round. The indigenous people can draw thousands of soldiers, but the problem is that they lack the respect for the court. trust."
"What kind of trust does he want?" Luo Fengtang asked. ….
"He wants to make a blood alliance with you, Lord Marquis, and become brothers by sworn brotherhood." Zi Yan said sternly.
"That's it?" Luo Fengtang thought that Gu Fengshang was going to make such harsh demands, but in the end, he only asked for this.
"For the indigenous people, this is a sacred and irreversible contract." Zi Yan said.
"Yes, this is what they believe, and it will be as they wish." Luo Fengtang said.
He didn't have any special beliefs, so there was no psychological burden on him to have a sworn relationship according to the indigenous rituals.
"In addition, they also asked the court to provide food, and they could not fight the war.
Let them provide their own food. "Zi Yan continued.
"Isn't this what it should be? Do they need to bring their own food when fighting?" Luo Fengtang asked doubtfully.
"The late Emperor did this before. Decades ago, the imperial court asked them to bring their own food to fight the rebellion." Zi Yan sighed.
"No wonder there is so much chaos in Daqi..."
Luo Fengtang also sighed.
If Daqi is compared to a person, then the late emperor must have made great contributions to this process from being sick since he was a child to becoming terminally ill.
The former emperor was brilliant in his power, but his governance was really a mess.
"I can satisfy whatever Gu Feng Shang requires. You can reply to him on this matter." Luo Fengtang said seriously.
"I will arrange it. It will take time for Gu Feng Shang to summon the leaders in the near future." Zi Yan said.
"Then give him time and let me know when he's done it."
Luo Fengtang drank the remaining hot soup in one breath.
"Then, what about the second one?"
"The second one is the bandit in Rongshan."
Zi Yan said slowly: "In recent years, a large number of people from all walks of life and heroes who have not been exterminated by the imperial court have gone to Rongshan and formed a group of Rongshan bandits. The famous figures in Yizhou's rivers and lakes have gone to Rongshan." A lot."
"Those people are all in disarray, are they really useful?" Luo Fengtang frowned.
It is undeniable that among those heroes, there are many who are highly skilled in martial arts.
But strong individual martial arts does not mean that the team they form is strong.
A thousand-man team composed of heroes from all walks of life is far inferior to an elite thousand-man team that can be trained formally.
"The Rongshan bandits used to be scattered, but it has been different in the past two years."
"Recently, the Rongshan bandits have a big leader, the leader Zhang Tianyi."
"It is said that his original name was not Zhang Asheng. He felt that God's will was unpredictable, so he changed his name to Zhang Tianyi."
Zi Yan said slowly.
"Zhang Tianyi, what is this person capable of?" Luo Fengtang asked.
"He was originally an ordinary leader, but he led his people to annex the original Rongshan leader, rectified the Rongshan bandits, and led them to win several key battles, officially establishing the status of the leader of Rongshan. There is no one left. It can be shaken." Zi Yan said.
"Did you also defeat Yang Huchen?" Luo Fengtang sneered.
"Yes, in Yizhou, Zhang Longtou's reputation is based on Yang Huchen and others." Zi Yan nodded.
"It's sad that the imperial court has no idea that besides the Yang family of Bozhou, there are such big bandits in the southwest."
Luo Fengtang stood up and sat on the chair by the window.
"Zhang Longtou has created a big situation. He must hate the imperial court deeply. How can he win over it?" Luo Fengtang asked doubtfully.
"Master Hou, it was Zhang Tianyi who took the initiative to contact me. He wanted to be recruited." A strange look appeared on Zi Yan's face.
She originally regarded Zhang Tianyi's side as her enemy.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Tianyi took the initiative to contact her.
"How did he contact you? Is it true or false?"
Luo Fengtang asked.
"He contacted me through Ancient Fashion." Zi Yan explained, "It should be true."
