Chapter 544: King Hou Tu
Among the young people on Yang Jian's side, there are basically only powerful generals.

Yang Jian always looked at things from the perspective of an emperor. What he wanted were a large number of basic talents who could govern the country well, rather than one or two high-level talents like Zhuge Liang who were extremely intelligent but could not handle everything.

That is useless. Only by laying a large amount of infrastructure can we advance steadily and achieve the final victory in the fight for the world.

This is what Yang Gui told him. Yang Jian deeply believed this during his twenty years of governing the country. Now he is cultivating such talents. It is not that he does not need geniuses, but that he does not deliberately recruit or look for geniuses.

There are so few talented and evil people, and in this era of great strife, if Yang Jian does not take the initiative to find and recruit them, it means he will have no chance with them.

Of course, this did not prevent him from competing for dominance over the world and regaining the throne, but the embarrassing thing was that although there were people who could do things, there was no one who could be a leader.

But what they need now is to split their troops.

The young talents, ranked by their fighting power, now include Luo Shixin, Xiong Kuohai, Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi, Liang Shitai. The only one with some brains is Wu Yunzhao.

But who in this world is not qualified to rebel? Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi, one is Wu Jianzhang's biological son and the other is Wu Jianzhang's godson. If they lead the rebel army, it will be the same as Wu Jianzhang leading the army himself.

Therefore, this is definitely impossible. The cousins ​​Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi must follow Yang Jian's side.

As for the rest, Luo Shixin's brain is even dumber than Li Yuanba's. If Li Yuanba is only slightly mentally retarded, mainly manifested in the inability to think deeply, then Luo Shixin is definitely severely mentally retarded. Apart from being able to eat, drink, defecate and urinate daily, he can't figure out anything, and is stunned. He does whatever he sees without saying a word.

Forget about letting him be a leader, he is not even qualified to be a lieutenant general. He can only be a thug or a vanguard leading the soldiers behind him to charge into battle.

Xiong Kuohai was not much better than Luo Shixin. He barely had the intelligence of a normal person, and was even a little cunning in some places, but he was not very good at using his brain. He could be a general leading an army, but that was all.

Liang Shitai was also born in the underworld, and his brain was not much smarter than Xiong Kuohai. Although because of his low martial arts value, he did not show the same recklessness as Xiong Kuohai, but due to his limited experience, he was at most a general.

"Why not let Master Huayan..." As soon as Yang Lin started to make this proposal, he was unanimously opposed by everyone.

Huayan is the brain of their team. In the minds of Yang Jian and his gang, Huayan's intelligence is much higher than Xu Maogong, who is widely known as "wise as a demon" and "the rebirth of Zhuge Liang". They are about to face the most fierce attack, and they cannot do without this military advisor.

It's not that he was afraid of being plotted against and killed by an intelligent person like Xu Maogong, but he was afraid of being crushed, swallowed up and killed by other armies.

From Yang Jian onwards, this group of old men are all experienced generals who like to win with a large army. Just like when the Qin Kingdom conquered the Chu Kingdom, it said it would take 600,000 troops, and it had to have 600,000 troops, not even 10,000 less. It would not work.

This is what a real teacher is.

The advantage is that the success rate can be quantified, and the disadvantage is that the success rate can also be quantified. Whether it is your own people or your opponents, your troops, resources, and food can be used to judge how much you can achieve.

If Yang Jian and his group had a million troops, most of the rebels would have surrendered except for Li Yuanba. But now Yang Jian only had tens of thousands of people, and had to face the double attack of Yang Guang's imperial army and the rebel forces.

He must find someone who can take an unconventional approach and defeat the strong with the weak.

This person only has Huayan.

Huayan is not Li Xin. If he were given an army of 200,000, he could really destroy the State of Chu.

There is no way. You have to understand that the master you worship is of such a moral character. The previous Buddhist monk Master Huayan was also righteous and firm in his beliefs, but he was not lacking in flexibility.

After worshipping Yang Gui, he began to develop on the path of shamelessness. After all, shamelessness does not conflict with upholding justice and faith, and does not violate Huayan's code of conduct.

Yang Jian couldn't leave Huayan, so...

Yang Jian's gaze couldn't help but turn to Yang Gui.

Although the young people have no available leader, isn’t there an old monster following them who looks younger than the young people here but is actually older than anyone else?

If there are no young people available, we can just use the older ones!
Seeing Yang Jian's gaze, the others suddenly realized what was going on and turned their eyes to Yang Gui.

"What are you looking at me for?"

At this time, Yang Gui was groping around while eating melon seeds and holding Hou Tu's hand. When he saw a group of old men looking at him, he immediately got angry and said, "You don't want me to be the leader of this rebellion, do you?"

"Thank you for your help, Old Ancestor!" Yang Jian also learned bad things from Yang Gui, and he knelt down and kowtowed with his men on the spot, "Please respectfully ask Old Ancestor to come out of the mountain!"

"Screw you!" If it was someone else, Yang Jian's trick would work, but unfortunately, Yang Gui, a shameless man, didn't fall for his moral blackmail. "I'm an old immortal, and you're just blinding me by getting involved in your hegemony struggle in the mortal world."

"Hey, old man, this is not right. You have told me this again and again since I was young." Yang Jian said with reason, "You said that there are no gods in this world. We should believe in science."

“???” Yang Guiwan didn’t expect that the boomerang would hit him on the head like this.

"Let's go," Hou Tu, the old woman from the Wu clan, was in a belligerent mood and grabbed Yang Gui's hand and shook it, "I want to fight with those fierce generals."

"Do you know that even if your strength is lower than that of immortals, fighting against their original bodies before reincarnation is still considered bullying?" Yang Gui looked at his wife in disbelief. Did he marry Kakarot home?
“Then I’ll try to suppress it again. If that doesn’t work, I’ll find two mortals to possess and control their bodies to fight.” Hou Tu blinked pitifully at Yang Gui, “Please, my husband, my brother Tiandao…”

"Shut up." Yang Gui felt a chill all over his body. Why are you acting like a spoiled child, you ancient witch? And if you are acting like a spoiled child, can you please squat down and act like a spoiled child? You old woman are taller than me, and looking down at me is not acting like a spoiled child, it's more like coaxing a child, okay?
"Do you agree to be beaten?" Hou Tu lost her patience after a while, raised her fist and gestured in front of Yang Gui, "If you don't agree, I will go out and form a force to rebel, beat you and Yang Jian, and kill Yang Guang to become the emperor." "Please be quiet for a while." Yang Gui felt a little headache. There were not so many things to do when he didn't have a wife. "Then let's go. If you do this, I have only one principle, you can't kill people. Of course, those reincarnations of gods are fine, right?"

A saint, a great golden immortal, went to the battlefield of mortals to fight generals and kill people. That was too much of a coward. Yang Gui, who was the ruler of the world, could not turn a blind eye to it.

"make a deal!"

Hou Tu punched Yang Gui in the face, knocking him sprawled out. She jumped up in joy and rushed outside, shouting, "Luo Shixin, Xiong Kuohai, Liang Shitai, follow me! Master will lead you to rebel!"

Hou Tu was bored in the past few years, and those three muscular guys only knew how to build up their strength and practice martial arts. After being beaten by Hou Tu several times, he simply accepted them as his disciples and taught them some modified Wu clan body-building methods that were below those of the immortals.

Although it can be modified and the power can be carefully suppressed, it is after all the method of the ancestor witch. The martial arts of these three people can be said to be expanding linearly. Not to mention Luo Shixin and Xiong Kuohai, Liang Shitai, who was originally ranked last among the thirteen heroes, has a pair of hammers in his hands that have increased to 500 kilograms.

A fool. It's so scary.

These three people were also convinced by Hou Tu.

When they heard Hou Tu's shouting, they immediately roared "Ao", and three muscular men carried Hou Tu out in a sedan chair, faster than riding a horse.

Leaving the whole room in awkward silence.

Yang Jian helped Yang Gui up from the ground and asked worriedly, "Ancestor, she... I... this... I can't end up being unable to defeat you, right?"

"You can't beat us, that's for sure, but don't worry, the emperor will definitely give it back to you." Yang Gui waved his hands, used his magic to remove the dark circles under his eyes, stood up and said, "Just wait for what's ready."

"No, hey, ancestor!" Yang Jian looked at Yang Gui's back, feeling helpless. By then, you guys will dominate the world, and then I will have to ask you to give me the throne. How embarrassing it would be for me to be the emperor.

But now that things have come to this, there is nothing that can be done. Others want to be emperor but cannot, so what is there for him to complain about when he has something ready? Yang Jian felt that he had lost face, and many people envied him for eating well.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" asked Yu Juluo Gao Jiong.

"What else can we do? Let's start a rebellion." Yang Jian waved his hand, and the emperor officially raised the flag of rebellion.

When this news reached Yang Guang in the Luoyang Palace, he was almost mad to death. An emperor lets his father rebel against him. Is this fair? It's unheard of! Doesn't this just show that even his father can't stand his emperorship and wants to teach him a lesson?
"I am so mad at you, I am so mad at you, this old thief, this old thief!"

Yang Guang was so angry that he smashed things in the palace, and lost interest in taking a boat to the south of the Yangtze River via the Grand Canal. Originally, his ship, which was as luxurious as the palace, had just been built, and he was excited to take the boat to Yangzhou.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor..." Yu Wenzhi seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Why the hell is this old Deng still alive? I'm almost dead, why is he still alive!" Yang Guang drew his sword angrily and smashed the dragon desk, "Where's Chengdu? Call Chengdu over!"

"No, Your Majesty, this matter is also called Chengdu?" Yu Wenzhi was shocked. Good boy, you are really cruel. You can even call people to kill your own father. "Why don't you discuss it with the emperor..."

"What are we discussing? I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, not him! If he dares to rebel against me, then he is no longer the emperor, he is a traitor!" Yang Guang roared, "Tell me, what should we do when facing traitors? What do we do?"

"The whole family will be executed..." Yuwen Chengdu, who walked in, only heard the second half of the sentence and answered it off the cuff. Yuwen Huaji quickly covered his son's mouth. "What the hell are you talking about? You are talking about the emperor."

"Ahem, well, Your Majesty, you know me. I am loyal and devoted. I will do whatever the imperial edict says." Yuwen Chengdu's attitude was very clear. If you want me to kill your father, that's fine, but if you issue the imperial edict and announce it to the world, I will not bear the charge of patricide for you.

Perhaps it was the painful memory of seeing Daji's end in his previous life that told Yuwen Chengdu: When working for an important person, you must first get yourself out of the way, otherwise you will most likely be blamed.

Otherwise you will end up like Daji.

After the Conferred Gods War, Daji went to Nuwa to report, but what was the answer she got? "I let you cause chaos and bring disaster to the country, but who told you to kill the loyal and good people?" So she used this as an excuse to kill Daji.

Before Daji died, she must have wanted to curse. I don't kill loyal people, I'm ruining your Cheng Tang Dynasty. The Shang Dynasty is full of righteous people, and the king and ministers are wise. Do you have a chance to attack me? Ask the Yuanshi Saint if he dares to touch the court of a king full of righteous people!

It can only be said that the fate of the little people is quite funny. This also created the terrifying image of Nuwa as a "female saint who cannot be provoked".

In this life, Wen Zhong was reincarnated from heaven and forgot everything, but he still remembered this incident like a conditioned reflex.

"You... OK, I will draft an edict right away!" Yang Guang didn't care about this, he was already in his last madness. Others could feel it, and he himself understood that his rule was already shaky and he could not say when he would die, so why should he care about his reputation after death?
Many years ago, Yang Gui had already given him a posthumous title in person.

"Hey, did you see that? This kid really killed his father to seize power. The comments of the ancestors on him were indeed correct." The imperial edict spread all over the country, and Yang Jian was defined as a traitor. In Yang Jian's camp, Yang Jian got the copy of the imperial edict and passed it around to everyone with a smile.

"No, you're still happy. Is there anything wrong with your brain?" Yang Lin relied on his seniority and reached out to touch Yang Jian's forehead. "The ancestor's comments back then were about killing his father to seize power, poisoning his brother to get his sister-in-law, bullying his mother and teasing his sister. If it's true to the letter, what's left for our Yang family to survive?"

"Hey, uncle, don't worry, this matter will definitely end with me. Uncle Gui is the ancestor of our family. If our family loses face, then he loses face. Will he allow Yang Guang to do such a thing?" Yang Jian said with a smile.

"I advise you to call him by his name. Do you believe that if the ancestor knew that you dared to call him turtle, he would definitely break your legs." Yang Lin quickly distanced himself from Yang Jian, to prevent Yang Gui from suddenly appearing and beating Yang Jian. Zi'er's face was covered in blood.

"Ahahahahahaha!" At this time, Hou Tu was sitting on a horse, guarded by three muscular men, Luo Shixin, Xiong Kuohai, and Liang Shitai, and laughed at the group of rebel kings:
"Listen carefully, everyone. I will be the leader of the rebellion. I will give you three days to surrender. Otherwise, I will bring my three disciples to attack your lair!"
