I, Yang Guo's son, abducted Zhang Sanfeng and traversed countless worlds.

"Still not stopping?"

Hou Tu shouted. However, Luo Shixin's intelligence was flawed, and Li Yuanba was too strong, limited to the strength of a "goddess". Although he could surely win against Li Yuanba, it was not easy, and he was already overwhelmed.

In his simple mind, there was only one thought, which was "kill the person in front of me."

Hou Tu's gentle call was not enough to wake up Luo Shixin who had fallen into madness.

"Look at your master, how shameless he is, trying to show off again." Yang Gui turned his head and talked to Xiong Kuohai and Liang Shitai about his wife.

It was true that Luo Shixin was beaten to insanity, but it would be too easy to wake him up by using crude means, but she chose the most violent one.

"Uh... Master, it seems my master learned from you, right?" Liang Shitai whispered to defend his master.

"Go to hell!" Yang Gui slapped Liang Shitai on the head, and like a wedge driven by a hydraulic sledgehammer, half of Liang Shitai's body was wedged into the rocky ground.

At the same time, Hou Tu saw that Luo Shixin refused to let go, so she grabbed the copper stick with one hand and pulled Luo Shixin and the stick up from the ground, then swung both ends and smashed them on the ground.

It was like Hulk hitting Loki, the only difference was that Hou Tu, who had a slim figure, was the one hitting, while Luo Shixin, who was about the same size as the Hulk, was the one being hit.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!”

A series of loud muffled noises were heard, and finally Luo Shixin was smashed horizontally and embedded into the rocky ground.

Luo Shixin finally came to his senses and looked up at the sky in a daze, "Hey, Master, why are you here? Ouch, why am I in so much pain?"

The couple attacked at the same time, each of them smashing a powerful general into the stone. For a moment, everyone didn't know which side to look at and could only cry out in horror in their hearts.

"Get up, the Li family has surrendered, so spare Li Yuanba's life." Hou Tu stuck the stick on the ground, and without caring about Luo Shixin, she floated back.

"What's on that stick!" Xu Maogong, who was the most careful at this time, suddenly felt that there was something unnatural about the copper stick, and the reflected light was a little wrong, so he shouted hurriedly.

"This is..." Pei Yuanqing had the best eyesight, and he took a look and took a breath of cold air. Then there were countless sounds of inhaling from the mountain, and the oxygen concentration dropped directly by one level.

It turned out that there was a clearly sunken handprint on the copper stick. It made sense. Although Hou Tu was tall and had long fingers, she was not as big as Luo Shixin, a giant who looked like a big bear standing up. How could she possibly catch such a thick copper stick?

In fact, some people were curious just now, but the scene was so exciting that they forgot about it. Now the answer is finally revealed.

Hou Tu didn't hold the stick, she just reached in and squeezed it. People who dared to look closer found that even fingerprints were clearly visible. The copper stick that could smash Li Yuanba's eight hundred gold hammer was no different from a piece of dough in Hou Tu's hand.

Luo Shixin grabbed the copper stick and pushed the people who came up to him one by one, making way for them. He walked to Li Yuanba, picked up his hammer, and handed it back to him. He said, "Brother, my master said that we are in the same group now, so I won't kill you. It's fun to fight with you, let's fight often in the future."

"No fight, no fight." Li Yuanba shook his head like a rattle. He didn't even dare to take the hammer. He ran directly behind Li Yuan and hid.

Li Yuan and his two sons were shocked. They had never seen Li Yuanba so timid.

If Luo Shixin is really terrifying, then that Queen Hou Tu and her husband...

Li Yuan suddenly felt extremely desperate. What was the point of talking about backstabbing and regaining power in the future? He could just vote now. Voting now was the best outcome, and he could also gain a certain position by relying on his troops and generals.

"Hey, you are a boring guy. Look at Lao Xiong and Lao Liang. I beat these two guys every day, but they never say they are afraid." Luo Shixin threw the two hammers away in disappointment and turned back.

"Pfft!"

With two dull thuds, the two sledgehammers, each weighing four hundred pounds, came down under the acceleration of gravity and smashed directly into the handles.

Everyone was afraid.

After Li Yuanba was defeated, the entire Siping Mountain was completely settled down. There was only one voice speaking, and that was that of King Hou Tu.

After resting for a few hours, Hou Tu summoned all the rebel kings to discuss matters in the alliance leader's tent.

Most of the rebel kings were just here to make up the numbers. Judging from Luo Shixin's performance, they knew very well that there was really not much difference between having them and not having them.

This “without myself” does not only refer to these rebel leaders, but also their soldiers.

Everyone could see that these freaks were at least as powerful as 100,000 enemies. If they were put into battle formations, a million-strong army would lose morale and flee. The only reason why the Hou Tu army still needed troops was to defend the city and govern the territory.

If they can help complete the work honestly, they will not lose their status. Otherwise, who will they be given the position to?

You should know that the soldiers of King Hou Tu’s army have a very terrifying skill: they are all literate.

That's right, "all of them". Even the smallest cook can recognize the words used in daily writing. Even Luo Shixin, who seems to have a normal intelligence, is the same. And according to their training standards, some basic skills and logic are also possessed.

Of course, Luo Shixin had a real intellectual disability, which prevented him from handling government affairs. But these things were not difficult to learn. Anyone could learn them as long as they had a normal brain, were about the same age, and had enough food to think.

Of course, this is far from enough in later generations or at a macro level, but in the ancient times with a feudal background, a small county of a hundred miles could be governed with this knowledge and skills.

This discovery terrified all the rebel kings, especially some former military governors and aristocratic families like Li Yuan. They were originally very confident because no matter how powerful your generals were, you still needed someone to govern the conquered territory.

But now it seems that they have become completely dispensable. This has completely destroyed the foundation of their rule, and they can no longer control the right to speak.

Yang Gui secretly revealed a smug smile like the mastermind behind the scenes. Do you really think that my "logistics support" means just providing enough food for the people and horses?

Although it was not easy to guarantee sufficient food for people and horses in a protracted war in a feudal dynasty with backward productivity, how could it reflect the ability of Yang Gui, a saint?
Therefore, the Jade Emperor was not at all happy with Yang Gui's going down to the human world, because people of his level, no matter how or what they did, could affect the balance of the human world.

Yang Gui was already giving enough face, otherwise he would have just built steam engines, railways and steel ships by hand, and this world would have come to an end.

However, even this still made Li Yuan panic. Li Yuan had a feeling as if Yang Jian was still in power. Why did their aristocratic families rebel against Yang Jian? It was because Yang Jian was digging up their roots. But now it seems that Yang Gui is more powerful and directly prevented their aristocratic families from joining. From the beginning, they were all people trained by themselves and had nothing to do with their aristocratic families. When Yang Jian was in power before, they could still rely on their past power to resist, but now they are rebelling directly from the beginning and plowing you from the bottom. What use are aristocratic families?
This was not groundless worry. Just during these days in Siping Mountain, Yang Gui's "literacy assistance class" was opened to provide one-on-one literacy assistance to the soldiers of King Hou Tu's army, imparting skills and principles. This had already made the subordinates of the rebel kings grateful, and many soldiers looked at their leader with strange eyes.

If this continues, it won't be long, just three to five months, before all the soldiers will be abducted.

I'm not kidding. Li Yuan had no idea how these rebel kings, including himself, could retain these treacherous soldiers.

Violent means of deterrence? Your force originally comes from these soldiers. When they collectively change their minds, you still use bloody force to suppress them. The first choice of the soldiers is definitely to turn their guns back and attack you. They are not Luo Shixin or Li Yuanba. This kind of beast-like force can beat 10,000 or even 100,000 people.

If even 10 soldiers could get close to them, these so-called superiors would surely die.

What do you rely on, loyalty, righteousness, filial piety, and brotherhood? That's a joke. In the face of real interests, what kind of loyalty, righteousness, filial piety, and brotherhood can help?
What kind of logistical support did Yang Gui provide to the Hou Tu King's army? There was enough food to keep them full, at least 4 dishes to choose from for each meal, and they could even eat meat every day.

What does it mean to be able to eat meat every day? When others offer this condition, how can you compete with them?

Not to mention that they also teach people to read and write. As we all know, those loyalty, righteousness, filial piety and brotherhood are all used to deceive illiterate peasants. These real educated masters are quicker to betray when faced with difficulties than anyone else.

These rebel kings had actually felt panic a long time ago, but now there was a very embarrassing thing: even if they wanted to leave, they could not take their troops with them.

Nonsense, the host who provided the food didn't say anything, and you ordered us to give up the place where we can eat meat every day? If you said you were leaving at this time, your soldiers would not pick up knives to chop you, which would be as loyal as Guan Gong.

No kidding, Yang Gui said that before the Siping Mountain Alliance was disbanded, no rebel king could take away his army.

As for the sudden attack and killing of Yang Gui and Hou Tu? Just look at the three people following them.

If they were still waiting for an opportunity to catch Yang Gui or Hou Tu alone, the rebel kings completely gave up the idea after Hou Tu caught Luo Shixin's copper stick with one hand and smashed him back and forth on the ground.

Forget it, why bother rebelling, it's good to follow Yang Gui. Even these rebel leaders themselves can't eat meat every meal.

Therefore, although Hou Tu was nominally the leader of the alliance, he could actually be said to be the emperor of this group of people.

"The main reason for calling everyone here this time is to discuss how to deploy the next step of action."

As the host, Yang Gui was the first to raise the topic.

"What else can we deploy?" Hou Tu waved her hand, more heroic than any other man: "Just charge forward, disperse the imperial army, capture Yang Guang alive, and I will ascend the throne, and this chaotic world will come to an end."

"Yes, yes, what the Lord King said is right!"

All the rebel kings below agreed.

It's not just that they were intimidated by the terrifying power of King Hou Tu's army and had to flatter him mindlessly. Even if they were asked to consider it seriously, everyone felt that Hou Tu's proposal was the most reasonable.

If King Hou Tu’s army really has this strength, why not use the most labor-saving and efficient way to end the war in troubled times?

"I don't think this approach is appropriate."

When everyone agreed, a discordant voice suddenly emerged.

It’s Xu Maogong.

If other rebels have already been convinced and are ready to give up until King Hou Tu's army unifies the world in exchange for an official position to live a carefree life, Xu Maogong's mentality is completely different from theirs.

As a strategist, he wants to fully demonstrate his value and he hopes to get a higher position and show his talents.

So he had to be innovative and come up with something new.

"Insolent? What's wrong with King Hou Tu's plan? Are you more patient than King Hou Tu?"

Sure enough, when your strength is strong enough, no matter what you do, there will always be great scholars to debate with you.

When Xu Maogong raised his objection, no one from King Hou Tu's army had expressed their views yet. Instead, several rebel kings jumped out and angrily rebuked Xu Maogong.

"It's the same old story. I have no doubt about the fighting power of the King's army. They can penetrate any defense in the world, but defending the city requires manpower."

Xu Maogong, the rebel king of Meili who was eager to show off, bowed to Hou Tu and Yang Gui.

“According to my observation, when we first arrived at Siping Mountain, we were able to ensure that all military and civilian personnel, regardless of their rank, had meat for every meal.

Later, it gradually came to the point that only the soldiers of King Hou Tu's army could eat meat every meal, and in the rebel king's army, the only ones who could eat meat were the high-ranking officials.

By now, an army of more than one million has gathered. If it were not for the kindness of King Hou Tu who stepped in to suppress the rebellion, only the top leaders in the rebel army would be able to eat meat.

Even so, he could only guarantee one meat meal a day. It can be seen that although Prime Minister Yang has great magical powers, he is not a real god after all.

The one who cooperated with Yang Guang was Yang Jian, the most legitimate emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If we captured Yang Guang alive, Yang Jian could gather the remaining troops of Yang Guang and continue to oppose us under the banner of legitimacy and revenge for his son.

By then, we will be tied down everywhere and overwhelmed. Even the quality of King Hou Tu’s army will not be able to hold out.”

Yang Gui looked at the confident Xu Maogong and stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation: "Please start your performance."

Xu Maogong was not polite either. He pointed at the map and said, "I suggest that we attack Yang Jian first!"
