Lin Yunfei heard this and patted his son on the shoulder: "Tianbao, dad understands what you are thinking, but it's not enough right now. Next, dad has important things to leave to you."

Luo Tianbao couldn't help but look at his father in surprise after hearing this. It turned out that Lin Yunfei's so-called major event was to officially call himself a general and change the name of his troops to the loyalty and justice army to fight against the rebels.

In fact, Lin Yunfei originally wanted to be king like his apprentice Xiahou Suiliang, but everyone had just occupied Jizhou and the foundation was not stable. At this time, becoming king would easily attract trouble, so he retreated and called himself a general. In name, he was loyal to the court and crusaded against the rebels.

In fact, it is just to find a relatively legitimate banner for myself.

Ji Baida, Li Congyun and others were also awarded formal positions, and Luo Tianbao's position was Weining Ling and General Sima. The two positions themselves were not high, but they both held real power. On the one hand, Weining's

Daily administration is under his jurisdiction, and secondly, he has the right to participate in military affairs under the general's command, which shows that Lin Yunfei still attaches great importance to his son.

Of course, the establishment of the General Yamen is not as simple as hanging up a sign, but also establishing an effective team. For this reason, Lin Yunfei specially asked Luo Tianbao to participate in it so that his son could become familiar with the operation of the entire Yamen.

Things are going quite smoothly on the military side. Zhang Lie has been acting recklessly in Jizhou in the past few years and is unpopular. Coupled with Lin Yunfei's reputation as the best master in the world, most warriors and even officers are willing to cooperate with the rebel army. The team in this area is quickly formed.

It takes initial shape.

On the other hand, the recruitment of the literati was not smooth. Although most of the local celebrities did not like Zhang Lie, they looked down upon Lin Yunfei even more. They felt that he was just a traitor and traitor like other warlords. As for the title of the world's number one master, it meant nothing to them.

The appeal was also limited, which gave Lin Yunfei and his son a headache.

Luo Tianbao had free time that day and brought some gifts to visit the old Zhang family. Although Zhang Xiaoying still refused to speak, her mood was much better than before. She was no longer nervous when meeting Luo Tianbao, which made the latter feel somewhat relieved.

.

After visiting Zhang Xiaoying, Luo Tianbao and Aunt Zhang were drinking tea and chatting in the living room. During this period, Luo Tianbao casually mentioned the difficulties in winning over scholars, and Aunt Zhang became thoughtful after listening to this.

"If that's the case, I might be able to help."

Luo Tianbao was stunned when he heard this: "Auntie, are you kidding me?"

"How can I talk nonsense about such a big matter? Young Lord, you don't know. My late husband was once Dr. Taichang, and he had a lot of contacts with today's literati. Although he is no longer here, the friendship from the past is still there.

, if I come forward to lobby, I might be able to persuade a few virtuous fathers and sons to work for me."

Luo Tianbao couldn't help being surprised when he heard this: "It would be best if it could be so natural, but why do you want to help us, aunt?"

Auntie Zhang smiled bitterly after hearing this: "The young castle master has been kind to our family, so I might as well say it directly. Now our family is under the protection of Xian father and son. There is an unpleasant saying that life hangs on someone's hands. I am so

No matter how much we make, we will sell well. Secondly, although our family has been greatly favored by Emperor Wu Ping, I also know what is going on in this Great You Kingdom. If the virtuous father and son can treat the people well and protect them, then I will do something for you.

It can be regarded as a good deed, and it can atone for the sins of my deceased brother."

Luo Tianbao did not expect that this aunt and grandma understood the righteousness so well, and immediately stood up and bowed deeply to the other party: "Auntie, if you really do this, not only our father and son, but the people of Jizhou will also be grateful for your kindness. I dare not tell others, at least

I, Luo Tianbao, will do my best to protect your family."

Aunt Zhang saw this and hurriedly helped Luo Tianbao up: "Young Master, you don't have to be like this. Our whole family believes in your character. Anyway, I will facilitate this for you starting tomorrow."

In fact, Luo Tianbao was still a little doubtful about this matter at first. Firstly, he was not sure whether the other party was sincere in doing this, and secondly, he was not sure whether he had such great energy. As a result, within a few days, Aunt Zhang actually persuaded several local people.

A famous person took refuge with Luo Tianbao and his son, which made everyone in the rebel army very happy. While Lin Yunfei hired these famous people according to their talents, he specially asked Luo Tianbao to go to the Zhang family on his behalf to express his gratitude, and also rewarded him with a large amount of property. Aunt Zhang said to

She was calm and composed, neither excited nor rejected. The more she behaved like this, the more Lin Yunfei admired her.

Under the leadership of these celebrities, the literati in Jizhou gradually began to accept the rebel army. The Lin family and his son's control of the local area was finally stabilized. After finishing these tasks, Lin Yunfei turned his attention to the war against Yizhou. According to the current battle report plan

Baida, Li Congyun and others made progress quite smoothly. Four of the nine counties under the jurisdiction of Yizhou have belonged to the rebel army. However, after a series of fierce battles, the soldiers on the front line were a little tired. Ji, Li and both of them wrote letters to hope that Lin Yunfei

Sending additional reinforcements was actually within Lin Yunfei's original plan. In fact, he had already prepared the troops, but Lin Yunfei was hesitant about who to send to lead the team.

It is said that a thousand armies are easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. Lin Yunfei now has a lot of troops, but he may not lead many troops, and even fewer can be trusted. For this reason, Lin Yunfei once considered sending Yu Wenchang, who was left behind in Yuntai Village.

Feng was transferred here. He was from the Xiyan royal family, had some experience in leading troops, and was quite loyal to himself. He seemed to be the most suitable candidate at the moment.

Luo Tianbao soon found out about this. He immediately found his father and asked for a fight. When he heard that his son was willing to go, Lin Yunfei was happy at first, but then he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Tianbao, sending troops to fight is not a piece of cake. You must think clearly about this."

Luo Tianbao replied: "Dad, don't worry, since I dare to ask for a battle, I have already realized this. After all, it is not a problem for me to be your son and stay behind to enjoy the blessings. I will not be able to convince the public in the future. I just want to accumulate some military merits this time.

I hope you will make it happen, dad."

When Lin Yunfei thought about what his son said, it was reasonable. He was such a descendant, and his career would probably be inherited by him in the future. It was indeed a good thing for him to accumulate more prestige now. After thinking about it again and again, Lin Yunfei finally nodded.

"Okay, it's rare that you are so enthusiastic, Tianbao, and it's hard for dad to displease you. But please remember that you have a different status now, so be more careful when you go there. You'd rather have no success than take risks. Do you understand?"

Luo Tianbao immediately nodded after hearing this. This matter was finally decided. Since it was his son who personally participated in the battle, Lin Yunfei specially mobilized a group of elite soldiers and generals to serve under Luo Tianbao's command, and also made Yu Feng become Luo Tianbao's deputy.

This man had served in the Hezhou Army before, had some experience in leading troops, and was good with bows and horses. With him helping Luo Tianbao, Lin Yunfei felt more at ease.

Just a few days later, Luo Tianbao set off for Yizhou with more than 800 people for reinforcements. On the day of departure, Lin Yunfei specially took the civil and military soldiers and civilians out of the city to see him off. The scene was quite grand. Luo Tianbao never imagined that he was still the same person a year ago.

An insignificant little bodyguard could actually stage such a battle now, it felt like it was a lifetime ago.
