In chaotic times, having an army is more important than anything else.
I absolutely cannot become a puppet of the Yang family.
With his skills, he was confident that he could make a name for himself even in chaotic times.
He had to find a way to completely control the army and kick the Yang family out of it.
If I'm going to do it, I need to completely control the Northwest.
Whether or not one chooses to follow the teachings of the sages and support the court at that time is up to them.
However, his own foundation in Shaanxi was far less deep than that of the Yang family.
Even if it means turning against the Yang family, he can use his own army to launch a swift raid and take over the Yang family.
But what about the four towns in the northwest?
Without the Yang family's mediation, they would definitely march south from the border to seize grain and supplies.
He not only had to find a way to deal with the Yang family, but also with the four towns in the Northwest.

They were just like him, all having an enemy who threatened their control of the army: the Yang family.
I could join forces with them and completely eradicate the Yang family.
Xia Feihu, the governor of Guyuan Town, knew quite a bit about him.
He came from a military background, and the Yang family always looked down on him, thinking he was just a roughneck. He, in turn, always disliked the Yang family.
We could join forces with him to deal with the Yang family.
At the same time, Guyuan Town has the most troops among the four towns. If we could also take over the troops in Guyuan Town...
With the addition of the 60,000 troops in Shaanxi, I would have over 100,000 men, which would allow me to truly control the Northwest.
