Chapter 70 Rotten Wood, Pillar (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
"but."

Li Qi changed the subject and continued:
“The position of brigade commander, commanding thousands of men, is also an important position in the Tianxing Army. My recognition alone is not enough.

We also need to get the approval of the kings, and my teacher is one of them, so I just need Marshal Lu to go with me."

Lu Yuan waved his hand, interrupting what Li Qi was about to say, adjusted his posture slightly, leaned back in his chair and said:

"Is there anything else?"

What recognition from the kings? As the commander of the Tianxing army, he doesn't care as he is far away.

The more than a thousand soldiers under his command are loyal to him. He does not need to get the position of commander of the Tianxing Army recognized by the kings. He can still control this army.

What's more, how can being inferior to others be as happy as being above everyone else?

He has a long way to go. Since he has such an iron-blooded army of thousands of people as his foundation, why not rely on his own means to gather more people to work for him?

Why do we have to get recognition from the so-called Tianxing Army?
Leaning back in the chair, he waited lazily for what to say.

If the other party couldn't say anything that would benefit him, he would just thank him directly.

Li Qi saw Lu Yuan's expression that wanted him to get out, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he bowed again and said:

"General Lu, our Tianxing Army is the most righteous army. There are people all over the world who admire our Tianxing Army.

Executing Zhao Hu and executing the criminals who caused trouble in front of the people will naturally win the support of some people.

But it is limited to several surrounding county towns. In this case, even if General Lu gets some financial support from some people, the world is so vast and there are only a few county towns. How can he support thousands of soldiers?

What's more, thousands of soldiers are good, but they are just a grain of sand in the imperial court's million-strong army. As long as the imperial court gains a little advantage on the front line and has the time to send troops to attack this place, the soldiers of the brigade commander will be like fragile eggs.

I know that Lu Lushuai has great ambitions, but if he wants to accomplish great things, it is difficult to do it with only his own men. "

Lu Yuan was supervising the execution at noon as a move to win over the hearts of the people. Li Qi knew what the other party was planning at a glance.

The reason he came this time was to persuade the other party to join the Tianxing Army, so he made the matter clear and told the other party the difficulties in doing so.

“The Tianxing Army has a reputation, and I may have a long way to go to make a name for myself. A thousand soldiers may not mean much, but how do you know that I cannot conquer Zhiyuan Prefecture and Youzhou?
By then, I will have gained the upper hand, gathered the people's hearts, and become the master of a region.

Even if it doesn't work, I can still take my soldiers to the mountains and have some fun.

Why do you have to go to your Tianxing Army and be inferior to others?
. "

The difficulties that the other party mentioned do exist.

But he has a long way to go and he has confidence in himself.

After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Li Qi said with a look of control over his face:
"General Lu is a man of great courage and bravery, and he knows how to rally people's hearts. I believe that General Lu can accomplish great things.

But how many years does it take for Lu Lushuai to build something from scratch?

The Daqian Dynasty is about to collapse, but as long as the iron-clad and powerful army that is the pillar of the country is still there, the rotten tree has the pillars to support it, and the overthrow may not happen today!

A strong army with iron armor and iron hooves is invincible. The royal army to which Zhao Hu belonged was defeated by the iron armored army in Huizhou.

The three kings of our Tianxing Army attacked the three continents out of necessity, and they may not be able to hold out for long.

As soon as the court is free.

With what Lu Lushuai's isolated army in Youzhou has done here, it will definitely become a thorn in the side of the Daqian court.

By then, once the armored army goes out to fight, let alone two thousand soldiers, even twenty thousand or even two hundred thousand will have no way to survive!

What's more, if you want to develop the army, you need the help of talented people. The world has been in chaos for more than ten years, and those who are ambitious, whether they are able to give advice, lead the army, train soldiers, or raise resources, have long been divided up by various major forces.

Even if you spread your name now, I'm afraid you won't be able to gather many real talents. If you want to realize your ambition, the effort you put in will definitely be half the effort. And our Tianxing Army is full of talents. Not only do we have millions of soldiers, but we also have scholars from various families, wealthy people, and people who can manage the land and the army.

If you join our Tianxing Army, you will have ready-made talents and resources at your disposal. If you really have the ability, you can directly use the soldiers of the Tianxing Army for your own use. Isn't this easier than doing things on your own? "

After saying this, he looked up with great pride and added:
"My teacher, the king of the Tianxing Army, was the top scholar of the imperial court. He was an official in the imperial court in the past, assisting the king in making decisions on how to govern the country. And I, Li Qi, am also a Jinshi."

Learning is valuable than anything else.

He was a top scholar or a Jinshi in the imperial examination, and even became a high-ranking official in the court.

Which of these is not something that all people yearn for and admire?
Although the other party has great ambitions, he is, after all, just a commoner. Upon hearing about such an identity, he will certainly feel respect and admiration.

Li Qi tilted his neck and glanced at Lu Yuan, hoping to see shock and admiration on the other person's face. He might even come over to him and apologize for his arrogant attitude.

But he glanced so much that his eyes hurt, but the other person was still lying lazily with an expressionless face.

Lu Yuan ignored the other party's added words about the third place in the imperial examination and the official in the court.

He was not surprised at all.

Those who have always taken the lead in rebellions are disciples of aristocratic families and intellectuals.

There's nothing surprising about this.

He was just thinking about the pros and cons of what the other party said.

Indeed, as the other party said, even though he had a long way to go, he was confident that he could lead the army to develop.

But the world has been in chaos for a long time, and various forces have been established, making it difficult to select too many talents to serve one's own purposes.

To develop an army, it may be simple if it has a thousand people, but if it reaches ten thousand or even one hundred thousand people, it will become a hundred times more complicated.

Whether it is management, training, resource mobilization, or strategy formulation.

All of these require talents, and a lot of talents, and they have to take many detours in practice before they can grow.

But if you join the Tianxing Army, you will have ready-made talents and resources to provide. You just need to keep climbing up to gain control of more soldiers, talents and resources.

It is indeed much better than struggling alone.

just
He stared at Li Qi and suddenly said:

"So, like your teacher, you can also be at my service?"

Li Qi was just straightening his neck, waiting for the other party to praise him, but he didn't expect to hear such a sentence, and his neck became stiff.

Then he looked at the other person's face seriously.

His teacher, one of the kings of the Tianxing Army, led an army of kings alone. It can be said that he was the real ruler of the Tianxing Army.

And the other party actually asked, whether a person like the teacher could be at his disposal?
But looking at the other party's calm expression, he knew that the other party was not joking.

Li Qi was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Hahaha!

If you are a hidden dragon, you can roam freely in the pond of Tianxing Army.

If you are a real dragon, then you will be the one to expand this pond!
Teacher, you won’t care!

Hahaha!!"
