My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 86 The Governor-General

"Lu Dutong, what are you going to do next?" Zhang Yuanrou looked at Lu Xuan. She was very optimistic about Lu Xuan. This boy's experience during this period alone was amazing.

What Zhang Yuanrou likes most is the feeling of strategizing. Unfortunately, although her talent in cultivation is excellent, she is unsatisfactory in terms of marching and fighting. But it is precisely because of this that she admires people like Lu Xuan the most.

Although Zhang Yuqing has many disciples, including powerful martial artists like Huo Zhan, when it comes to fighting, at least so far, only the previously inconspicuous Guo Chang is considered good.

Lu Xuan's experience during this period, even if he didn't dare to write it down in a script, made her listen with interest, and she was also curious about Lu Xuan's next plan.

"Brother Yang, I have frankly told you that the bet that day was just a joke, but today, Lu wants to ask Brother Yang solemnly, are you willing to come to my religion?" Lu Xuan did not answer, but looked towards Yang Ao.

The bet that day was just what Lu Xuan said casually. With Yang Ao's strength, if he didn't want to admit it, Lu Xuan had nothing to do. He simply said openly that if he wanted to stay, he could stay. If he wanted to leave, since he couldn't stop him, he could simply be more generous. It's a good relationship and we can meet each other easily in the future.

Of course, if Yang Ao is willing to stay, that will be the best outcome.

Guiyi Sect has cultivation resources, inheritance of exercises, and sufficient influence, but it lacks talents.

This talent covers all aspects, including management talent and troop leadership talent, and Yang Ao is a good troop leader talent, and it is not just a troop leader talent. Yang Ao's addition can also improve his subordinates like Yang Chong, Ergou, and San Knife the military capabilities of these people.

Lu Xuan has won many battles, but his ability to lead troops is unconventional. He summed it up based on his previous life experience and actual combat experience. If he wants to improve the level of the army, he needs the help of talents in the regular army.

Yang Ao didn't answer and looked at his mother.

After experiencing what happened before, he figured out that since he couldn't become an official, he should become a rebel who would make the world's corrupt officials look bad after hearing about it.

However, he was a little worried about his mother.

Mother Yang sighed and said, "From now on, please take care of my son."

She also understood that the court could no longer give the Yang family any way to survive. Yang Ao had no other choice but to follow Lu Xuan. Although she still rejected the rebels, she did not want her son to be unjustly killed for no reason.

Yang Ao nodded silently, looked at Lu Xuandao: "Then Yang's life will be handed over to Lu Dutong."

Very plain, but with a murderous aura!
"Okay!" Before Lu Xuan could react, Zhang Yuanrou had already clapped her hands and cheered. She liked to read this kind of story about a good general meeting his wise master, and she never thought she could see it in real life.

Huo Zhan glanced at his junior sister speechlessly, "Didn't you recruit this person?"People are poaching you.

"I can't guarantee anything else, but Lu will not let his brothers be wronged." Lu Xuan nodded, turned to look at Zhang Yuanju and said: "So, Taoist Priest, next, I want to meet the Celestial Master. Can you recommend him?"

Next, he wants the world to be more chaotic, so that he can have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Otherwise, with his few people, he will become a rogue at best, and it is impossible to develop!

"Of course, Senior Brother Guo's whereabouts are unknown. Yunzhou needs someone in charge. I think you are good. Even if you don't tell me, I will introduce you to my adoptive father." Zhang Yuanrou said matter-of-factly.

"Foster father?" Lu Xuan was surprised.

"Junior sister is the adopted daughter of Master." Huo Zhan said in a dull voice.

"Disrespectful." Lu Xuan suddenly realized. No wonder this female Taoist priest gave people a sense of free and carefree innocence.

"Hey, what's that look in your eyes?" Zhang Yuanrou frowned and looked at Lu Xuan. Her intuition was quite keen. Although Lu Xuan had a good attitude, Zhang Yuanrou clearly felt a feeling that made her unhappy.

"Let's meet the Heavenly Master first. We still need to discuss with the Heavenly Master what to do next." Lu Xuan stood up and said, "I'll prepare the incense table."

"Why prepare the incense table?" Zhang Yuanrou asked puzzledly.

"Meet the Heavenly Master." Lu Xuan remembered that this was what Guo Chang did.

"Oh, you are warriors. If you want to see your adoptive father, you must have official seal and luck support. I don't have to go through such trouble here." Zhang Yuanrou suddenly realized that she took out a jade sword from the gourd at her waist, pinched the sword secret in her hand and pointed at the jade sword. , then stood up and bowed: "Father, Lu Dutong has been found. He wants to see you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint fluorescent light emitted from the jade sword. Except for Yang's mother, everyone present could feel a wave of energy, and the fluorescent light gradually gathered into Zhang Yuqing's figure.

Different from last time, this time Zhang Yuqing was not holding a jade slip, but was dressed in a very ordinary Taoist dress.

"See the Heavenly Master!" Lu Xuan bowed and worshiped.

"Well, Lu Dutong, Rou'er has already told me about what you did in Shangyang County during this period. You did very well." Zhang Yuqing looked at Lu Xuan and nodded.

"Brothers sacrificed their lives, and disciples dare not take credit." Lu Xuan said modestly.

"What do you want from me?"

"Regarding the development of the Guiyi Sect, I have some opinions and would like to discuss it with the Heavenly Master." After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Ao.

"Ao'er, I'm tired." Yang Ao didn't respond, but Yang's mother understood and stood up slowly.

"It's because I didn't provide good hospitality. I asked someone to arrange a place for my aunt. For the time being, I feel sorry for her to stay in my mansion first." Lu Xuan smiled and asked the guards to come in and arrange a place for mother and son.

After the mother and son left, Zhang Yuqing said in surprise: "Who is this? He is at the peak of the Transformation Realm, and even has signs of breaking through the Wu Leak Realm." He did not remember that the Guiyi Sect had such outstanding disciples.

"This man's name is Yang Ao. He was originally a military officer and served in the army for three generations. However, he was framed by a superior officer because of his merits. Fortunately, we rescued him." Zhang Yuanrou explained.

Zhang Yuqing nodded, said nothing more, looked at Lu Xuando and said, "Go ahead."

"Disciple believes that most of the places in our Guiyi Sect are not suitable for attacking cities!" Lu Xuan bowed.

"Are you worried about the Qing Qi protecting the city?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

"The green energy that protects the city is only one part, not the core." Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "Currently, my Guiyi Sect's uprising method is to coerce the people to attack the city. However, although this method can gather a large number of troops in a short period of time, it seems huge. However, the disadvantages are also extremely obvious.”

"First of all, these people who have been brought here have no fighting ability, and secondly, they do not really join, and they even harbor resentment towards me, the Guiyi Sect. No matter how many people there are, they are still a mob, just like a plate of loose sand. Just like this time, Yunzhou Guiyi Sect, before The momentum was so great that it spread throughout the nine counties, but as soon as the officers and soldiers came, they fell apart."

"Secondly, a large number of people were forced to leave without anyone to farm. This move not only hurts the people, but will also shake the foundation of our Guiyi Sect. We need to know that our Guiyi Sect has become what it is today because of the people. However, the current uprising only lasts a year. , the wild areas are desolate, and the people not only did not improve because of my Guiyi Church, but starved to death everywhere. At the beginning, our army could still plunder money and food for military use, but now there are less and less places to plunder. Food and grass are stretched thin, and people's hearts are scattered. As time goes on, , I’m afraid it’s in danger of overturning!”

"How dare you!" Huo Zhan on the side heard this and glared angrily: "Boy, how dare you speak nonsense about the Heavenly Master!?"

"Huo Zhan, don't be rude." Zhang Yuqing shouted softly and dismissed Huo Zhan, then turned to look at Lu Xuando and said, "Lu Dutong, do you have any good ideas?"

"A good strategy should not be taken seriously." Lu Xuan clasped his fists and said: "The problem with our army now is that it is too bloated. The extra civilians not only cannot be of value, but have become a huge burden."

"I think that even if our army spends a huge cost to break through some cities, just like Sanyang this time, it will be difficult to defend. Moreover, the people in the city are so rich that they may not recognize our army. It is better to shift the focus outside the city and use a few The city serves as the core and radiates to the surrounding areas, and strongholds are set up in dangerous places. If the officers and soldiers come, they will attack if they can, and if they cannot, they will retreat!"

"As for the people, we will help them, make decisions for the people, and win the hearts and minds of the people. As far as the disciples know, the so-called green energy that protects the city is the people's hearts and luck. What I want to do is not to compete with the imperial court for short periods of time. , but the people's hearts. As long as the people's hearts are with me, the luck in the city will naturally disperse. If the luck disperses, the green energy protecting the city will be like a loft in the sky. Even if it does not dissipate, it will be much weaker. At that time, our army will have the opportunity to attack the city and seize the territory. "

"Being blindly attacking and defending the city will only continue to consume a large amount of our army's effective strength! If things go on like this, even if the Celestial Master has unparalleled magical power, it may not be able to be used up for a long time."

Zhang Yuqing pondered for a moment and then asked: "Then how to win the hearts and minds of the people?"

"What the people ask for is only two meals and clothing, and the taxes should not be too heavy. We and other villagers mainly rob the rich households, and then when the people can't survive, we will help them, either with rice or medicine." , no matter how many eloquent people are sent into the people to promote our teachings."

"In this way, the common people can not only make a living, but also become the ubiquitous informants of our religion. As long as the common people support us, we can obtain the movements of the officers and soldiers at any time, and we can prepare in advance or make evasive actions. Its value is better than that of The strong voice is a hundred times stronger.”

Of course, there is a big problem in this. After all, the Guiyi Sect is not an organization with extremely high organizational power and authority like the imperial court. It is a question of how many people will obey Zhang Yuqing's orders.

After all, I am the king of the mountain and live a happy and carefree life. Why should I listen to you?

Or it may be contrary to the situation, these are not possible, but will definitely happen. Villains will always make up the majority in this world.

But that's not important. Even if only one-tenth or even one-percent of the powerful figures in the Guiyi Sect are willing to follow this routine, they can help Lu Xuan attract a lot of firepower.

And there is an advantage to following this system. It is not easy for the government to eliminate them, because they hide among the people and can bring practical benefits to the people. The people will protect them voluntarily. As for those who do not follow it, they will be eliminated by the court.

Of course, the Guiyi Sect also has strong points. For example, in Dongzhou where Zhang Yuqing is, with Zhang Yuqing here, the officers and soldiers are naturally no match. Then they can learn from the deep roots of the imperial court, and at the same time, they can also serve as disciples of the Guiyi Sect in other states and counties. Attract the main force of the court.

Lu Xuan's plan is mainly aimed at people like him.

Zhang Yuqing looked at Lu Xuan, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly said, "Lu Dutong, are you willing to accept me as your teacher?"

Lu Xuan was startled, then he understood, bowed and said: "Disciple, see the teacher."

"Good!" Zhang Yuqing said with emotion: "Although there are many disciples with excellent talents, there are not many who can understand the situation like you. The current situation is not suitable for coming to Dongzhou to formally become a disciple, but there are some who should be able to understand the situation." No less, Lu Xuan listens to the seal."

While talking, Zhang Yuqing already had a roll of jade slips in his hand.

Lu Xuan looked solemn, bowed and said: "Disciple is here!"

"You defeated two cities in a row, defeated the imperial court's spirit, and promoted the power of our religion. From today on, I will make you the governor-general of Guiyi Sect Yunzhou. You are above the governor-general and will be appointed by the generals. You can be canonized directly and have four subordinates. As a civil and military commander, you need to report to me, and I will teach you the method of gathering luck. As long as you get the official seal and have the support of luck, you can borrow the power of my luck to teach you!"

After the words fell, a stream of green energy condensed from the jade slips, turning into a smaller jade slip and slowly falling in front of Lu Xuan.

"The Governor-General?" Zhang Yuanrou scratched her head. She only knew that there was a Governor-General. What was this Governor-General?
"Disciple, take the order!" Lu Xuan bowed again and went to pick up the jade slip with both hands. However, the next moment, the jade slip turned into a ray of green light and sank into Lu Xuan's body. At the same time, Lu Xuan could feel something gathering around him.

"Find Guo Chang as soon as possible and ask him to follow Yuan Rou back to Dongzhou to help me." Zhang Yuqing sighed softly.

Although he didn't know the specific situation, he had vaguely felt from Guo Chang's words before that Guo Chang didn't want Lu Xuan to see him. If the two of them stayed in Yunzhou together, they would probably kill each other. Now that Lu Xuan As for the position of governor-general, if Guo Chang stayed, he might suffer misfortune. After all, he was his disciple. Zhang Yuqing hoped to separate the two people to eliminate the trouble.

"Yes!" Lu Xuan bowed and said.

Zhang Yuqing said no more, and his figure gradually disappeared...
