At this time, Liu Feng seemed to understand the strategic intentions of Emperor Shunde.

Why do we have to control Youzhou?

The reason is simple. Although Yanzhou has official roads leading directly to the capital, they are all land routes, and there are many passes along the way.

But Youzhou is different, Youzhou can attack from three sides.

You can go by land through Yanzhou, or you can go by water through Dasan Pass.

They could even bypass the grassland border controlled by the northern barbarians, and send their cavalry straight down to Liaodong to threaten the capital.

This also explains why the prefect of Youzhou had such great power and even possessed the imperial sword.

Because Youzhou’s geographical location is too important.

If the Tiandihui could capture Dasan Pass, with a general who was good at fighting, they could march by boat and carriage and reach the capital in half a month.

No wonder Linghu Zheng was so anxious to drive away Xuanwu Jia, because the Tiandihui already had the strength to rebel, and he didn't want Xuanwu Jia to get in the way in Youzhou.

"Old General, the Tiandihui is indeed powerful. Such a massive behemoth is no different from an independent kingdom."

"But I'm curious, since the Tiandihui is so powerful, why don't they try to find Xiaoshan first?"

Liu Feng suddenly changed the subject.

Linghu Zheng's face darkened instantly.

"People must be saved, but not now."

"Now, there is something extremely urgent and very important that needs your attention."

"I've thought about this too. If this thing succeeds, Linghu Xiaoshan won't have to be rescued, and the people won't have to suffer the persecution of war."

Liu Feng cursed in his heart, you old man, just keep fooling me.

How could such a good thing happen in this world? How could a rebellion be so smooth?

How can we not let the people be spared from the suffering of war?

Linghu Zheng laughed heartily.

"The remaining 200 men of the Xuanwu Armor, along with various craftsmen and laborers, will be returning to the imperial court soon. But they left this time, so what about next time?"

"Although Tianyong City isn't as strategically located as Dasan Pass, where one man can hold a thousand men at bay, its strategic location is equally important."

"When the Black Tortoise Armor returns, it will be time to take action."

"I hope you won't let me down by then."

The following conversations were all related to these things. In a word, Linghu Zheng hoped that Liu Feng would respond quickly when he raised his army.

After leaving Linghu Mansion, Liu Feng slowly rode back, sorting out the key points of the conversation in his mind.

Generally speaking, Linghu Zheng did not blame Liu Feng for his cooperation with Dasan Pass, which also shows that Liu Feng still has value to Linghu Zheng.

Where the value comes from is the next big thing that Linghu Zheng will do.

She told Liu Feng everything about the Tiandihui, but it wasn't that simple.

Does he trust Liu Feng?

Of course not, this is a deterrent, a naked threat. What I mean is, even if your Tiger Roar Army expands to 3,000 people, it will still be nothing in front of the huge Illuminati.

But Linghu Zheng also has his own concerns.

Before, Liu Feng only had the Linghu family to rely on, but now he has the Qian family.

He was not sure who Liu Feng would help between the Linghu family and the Qian family.

But Linghu Zheng can be sure of one thing, that is, between the Linghu family and the emperor, Liu Feng will choose to help the Linghu family without hesitation.

The reason is simple. If Liu Feng chose the Qian family, there would be only one reason. The Qian family has 30,000 soldiers and garrison troops, and its strength is extremely strong.

But now that Liu Feng has been told the details of the Illuminati, the Qian family is nothing in comparison.

But Linghu Zhen underestimated Liu Feng.

The more he acted like this, the less anxious Liu Feng became.

The reason is also simple. Even if he has three thousand Tiger Roar Army, what can he do with such a small number of troops?

It doesn't play a decisive role.

Linghu Zheng is now using all kinds of means to get his help. There must be other reasons, not just rebellion.

But Liu Feng hasn’t thought of the specific possibility yet.

He even speculated about the prophecy made by Lord Chen, and guessed that it would benefit him in the end.

But these are all empty talk. What he has to do now is to take one step at a time and train his 3,000 men into an indestructible iron army.

Only when you become strong can you occupy an invincible position in future games.

Nothing is more important than strengthening yourself.

After returning to the village, the rest of the day was leisurely.

The three thousand Tiger Roar Army trained continuously under the leadership of the two brothers of the Linghu family.

Let them play to their strengths and continue to hone their best skills without taking a break.

Zhuzi was even more busy. He led a few people to work in three shifts to make the weapons that Liu Feng needed.

Zhang Tiechui worked even harder. When one smelting furnace was not enough, he continued to add more smelting furnaces, and now he has added another one.

He is smelting molten iron frantically. He still has a lot of iron ore in reserve, and it will take several months to smelt it into iron.

As for the house repair, with the joint efforts of thousands of people in Xinhedu and reasonable coordination, the new house was built quickly.

However, a kang has not been built yet. Instead, after the new kitchen was built, the fire was directly extended there so that the temperature could be fully utilized.

As for the cellar and bathhouse, they have not been built yet. Liu Feng is only responsible for the arrangements of major matters, and the specific details are all handled by others.

During this period, Liu Feng focused his main energy on the salt field.

After all, the amount of silver needed every day to support so many people is incalculable, so refined salt needs to be produced to increase the ability to make money.

As the Tiger Roar Army expanded to 3,000 people, the daily food consumption was like taking out food from a granary with a ladle, which was really a waste of food.
