Chapter 563 Yiling
Yiling is located on the banks of the beautiful Xiling Gorge of the Yangtze River, at the boundary of the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and belongs to the transition zone from the mountainous area in western Hubei to the Jianghan Plain.

The ground strangles the throat of Chongqing and Hubei, controls Ba Kui from above, and leads Jingxiang from below. "When the water comes here, it is barren, and when the mountains come here, it is mausoleum", so it is named "Yiling", which is known as "the gateway of the Three Gorges".

Walking in this beautiful city, Luo Changfeng couldn't help but be very satisfied with his choice. Not only is the location of this place very suitable, but the environment is also excellent.

The Yangtze River is full of boats and boats, and the streets are bustling with people. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are worthy of the title of "Shuanglong of China". As long as the city is close to these two rivers, it will always be more prosperous than other places.

After Luo Changfeng and Ah Qing entered the city from the north gate, they walked in the city. After walking for a while, Ah Qing asked Luo Changfeng, "Changfeng, where can we go to find Mo Yumaomao and the others?"

Luo Changfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, we don't need to find them, they will come to us."

"Oh!" Ah Qing nodded, and stopped meddling. She just went shopping with Luo Changfeng in high spirits. Whenever she came across a food stand or a stall selling gadgets, she would always choose a few that she liked.

Sure enough, as Luo Changfeng expected, they only had a meal in the city before someone found them, and it was Li Tiedan who came.

"Brother Changfeng, sister-in-law Ah Qing, I've been waiting for you." I haven't seen Li Tiedan for nearly half a year, and Li Tiedan's spirit has changed a lot. His eyes are shining brightly, his body is straight, and an iron sword is stuck in his waist. The taste of Luo Changfeng and A Fei back then.

Luo Changfeng patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and praised: "You guys are not bad! I haven't seen you in just half a year, and I'm already a bit of a young hero. How long have you been here?"

Hearing this, Li Tiedan smiled and touched the back of his head. This action brought him back to the simple and honest youth. "It took us only half a month to subdue the Gopher Gate, and we have been here for almost five months."

Luo Changfeng said gratifiedly: "Well done, I am sure you are right, has the main rudder been established?"

Li Tiedan nodded and said: "It has already been established, but it is not in the city. On Daliang Mountain, sixty miles to the north of the city, Brother Li Fu has a lot of contacts. He directly went to the Yiling prefect, and he solved all the official matters."

In the Tang Dynasty, if you want to establish a gang or sect in a serious way, you need to go to the government for record, not to say that you can establish it if you want.

The forces that have registered with the government belong to the white way forces, and the forces that have not been registered and established privately belong to the underworld forces. The distinction between black and white is not based on what you do, but whether you have filed with the government.

Generally speaking, the forces of the rivers and lakes that favor the righteous way will usually go to the government to file for the record. Although they have to accept the government's control and pay a tax every year, they can also get the support and assistance of the government, which is equivalent to registering a company in later generations.

Forces that do not want to be controlled by the government, but do not do evil, are generally called green forest roads, which are between black and white. As long as they do not cause trouble, the government will not specifically target them.

Those forces that made up their minds not to do good things from the very beginning, naturally belonged to the pure underworld forces, such as those bandits and water bandits, were the main targets of the government.

Generally speaking, among the high-level Jianghu sects, there are two schools of good and evil, and among ordinary Jianghu forces, there are two schools of black and white.

The so-called government control is not as strict as imagined. As long as you don't do evil, the government will not interfere with the development of your power, but will make some positive publicity for you.

But similarly, when the government wants to send troops to suppress bandits, if there are not enough manpower, or the strength of masters is not enough, then the Jianghu forces with records under their control are obliged to send people to help the government.

Of course, if these forces need the help of the government for anything, the government will also provide convenience as appropriate.

Luo Changfeng can still accept this kind of state of being in a cooperative relationship with the government. Anyway, the purpose of his establishment of the Tiandihui is to maintain peace in the world.

He would do things like suppressing bandits without the government asking him to do it. If he hooked up with the government, he could get the help of the government army instead. It was beneficial and harmless, so why not do it?
Luo Changfeng had no objection to this. Originally, he invited Li Fulai based on this consideration, but the choice of the location of the chief rudder was a bit beyond his expectation, so he immediately asked, "Why did you choose Daliang Mountain?"

Li Tiedan said straightforwardly: "That's how it is. Brother Li Fu heard from the eunuch that there was a group of bandits on Daliang Mountain who often robbed merchants. loot."

"The prefect has organized several encirclement and suppression campaigns, but they all failed because of the rugged mountain roads in Daliang Mountain and the bandits' strongholds were easy to defend and difficult to attack. Instead, they lost troops and generals."

"Brother Li Fu took the initiative to take on the task of exterminating the bandits. The condition was that he would be given the cottage of the bandits in Daliang to establish the head of the Tiandihui. Great support."

"Later, Brother Li Fu and the family of Chasing the Wind took us to the mountain stronghold at night, killed all the master bandits, and lifted the defense of the important pass. We cooperated internally and externally, and annihilated this bandit force in one fell swoop."

"Since then, the cottage has become the headquarter of the Tiandihui. The prefect even used his power to mobilize a large number of craftsmen to build the headquarter for us. It is a reward for us to help the imperial court wipe out the bandits."

Hearing this, Luo Changfeng asked, "The property that the bandits looted in the cottage must have been taken away by the government, right?"

Li Tiedan nodded and said: "That's true. Brother Li Fu said that although we won the first victory in suppressing bandits this time, the main force in suppressing bandits is the government soldiers."

"They suffered casualties, the prefect's mansion needs to pay compensation to the casualties, and the prefect is willing to build a general rudder for us, so all the property of those bandits will be handed over to the prefect, which will also lay the foundation for future cooperation with the government. "

Luo Changfeng nodded, it was true, anyway, they would not be short of property, and it was worth it to be able to exchange these three melons and two dates for the favor of the prefect's mansion.

"Have you started recruiting disciples? How many people will there be in the world now?"

Li Tiedan said: "On the way from Luodao to Yiling, we recruited dozens of orphans and beggars into the association. In the past few months, we have also recruited several batches of disciples in the villages and towns around Yiling."

"Not counting the gophers... Well, the 31 people who took off the rudder, now the master rudder has more than 16 disciples, and they are all teenagers and girls under the age of [-]."

After listening to Li Tiedan's words, Luo Changfeng was very satisfied. Now that he knew the identity of Li Fu Jiutian Xuantianjun Guimou, he had no doubts about his ability.

The location he chose must not be wrong, even bandits can manage this cottage to make it easy to defend and difficult to attack, let alone in Li Fu's hands.
