After more than ten years on the mountain, you will become invincible when you come down.

Lu Feng looked at the guard quietly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Since you think that arresting me can redeem you from your crime, why haven't you done it yet?"

"I...I was giving you a chance to argue..." said the guard.

"I see that you know that even if you catch me it will be useless because you know they won't give you the chance to redeem yourself with meritorious service!" Lu Feng said in a deep voice.

Lu Feng's eyes became sharp, as if they could penetrate the defender's heart.

Lu Feng approached the defender step by step with great momentum.

The guard was shocked. He felt that he couldn't see through Lu Feng.

"What...what do you want to do?" the guard asked in panic.

"Follow me to start a business and I will appoint you as the general, how about that?" Lu Feng said in a deep voice.

The guard was stunned and asked in confusion, "Entrepreneurship? What is entrepreneurship?"

"The court is corrupt and the people are living in dire straits. How about we rise up today and seek a safe and prosperous life for the people of the world?" Lu Feng said.

The general was shocked. What kind of business is this? Isn't that rebellion? He never thought that he would one day embark on the path of rebellion.

The guard's Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly felt dry in the mouth. Lu Feng could directly speak out about the rebellion, so he seemed to have no choice...

Either he follows Lu Feng till the end, or he refuses, then death will surely be waiting for him.

But what could he do? Even if he escaped by chance, the crime of killing the county magistrate was still a capital crime.

"Why should I trust you? Do you think we can succeed with just a small number of people like us?" the guard asked worriedly.

"With the first you, there will be the second and the third, and there will be a steady stream of people joining, because they all want to live a good life, and there are thousands and thousands of people who want to live a good life. Do you think there will still be a shortage of people at that time?" Lu Feng asked back.

The guard was silent. He knew very well what the world was like.

What Lu Feng said is very right. There are thousands and thousands of people who want to live a good life, so there is no need to worry too much about personnel issues...

Seeing the general remained silent, Lu Feng knew that he was struggling internally, so he spoke again, "You see, the situation in this world is unpredictable, and the people are living in misery. If we can join hands to create a great cause, we can not only save the people, but also go down in history!"

After saying that, Lu Feng stretched out his hand and looked at the guard with a firm gaze.

The defender was deeply moved by Lu Feng's words, but he was still a little hesitant.

After all, it is not easy to betray one's original court.

However, when he looked at Lu Feng's eyes full of passion and confidence, his heart began to waver.

After a fierce ideological struggle, the defender finally made up his mind.

He gritted his teeth, shook Lu Feng's hand tightly, and said, "Okay, in that case, I will follow you!"

Hearing this, a relieved smile appeared on Lu Feng's face.

The two smiled at each other, and saw hope and confidence for the future in each other's eyes.

They know that the road ahead will be full of difficulties and obstacles, but as long as they work together and forge ahead courageously, they will be able to realize their ideals and ambitions.

At this moment, they seemed to have seen a bright future, and their hearts were filled with infinite longing and expectation.

"I am General Han Yu, and I pay my respects to my lord! What should we do next?" Han Yu immediately knelt down to Lu Feng.

"General Han, there's no need for us to be so polite! How many people do you have under your command now?" Lu Feng asked.

"My lord, there is only one camp stationed in Phoenix City, which I am in charge of. There are no more than 500 people in total..." said General Han.

Lu Feng nodded and said, "Five hundred people, that's enough. I'll give you your first mission. Control all the gates of Phoenix City. No one is allowed to enter or leave for the time being! Then, clear out all the people in the city who are loyal to the court and confiscate all their property. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order, Han Yu immediately led his men to the various gates of Phoenix City.

Lu Feng began to think about the next plan. He knew that it was far from enough to control the entire Phoenix City with only these 500 people. He had to find a way to expand his power.

At the same time, Lu Feng was also worried that the defenders from other cities would come to reinforce, so he had to prepare to respond as soon as possible.

This is also the reason why Lu Feng is anxious to clear out those who are loyal to the court. If a war comes and there are traitors inside, then everything may be lost...

Therefore, Lu Feng decided to recruit more talents and soldiers himself.

Lu Feng believed that with his efforts, he would be able to build a strong army and achieve his goals.

Han Yu acted quickly and quickly sorted out the list of people who needed to be cleared.

Suddenly, there was chaos in Phoenix City, and many people were very dissatisfied with this approach.

But more people are just waiting and watching. They don't know whether Lu Feng has the ability or not, and whether he can let them live a stable and prosperous life.

In just a few days, almost everything that needed to be cleaned up in Phoenix had been cleaned up.

"My lord, there has been a lot of resentment in the city these days. Some people say that even if you succeed, you will become a tyrant in the future. There will be no difference..." Han Yu said.

"You think so too, right?" Lu Feng asked in a deep voice.

Han Yu was shocked and quickly knelt down on one knee, admitting his mistake, "I dare not!"

"Don't panic. If you think so, just say it boldly. Just tell the truth. There's nothing wrong with it..." Lu Feng said.

"I deserve to die!" Han Yu said in panic.

Lu Feng helped Han Yu up and said solemnly, "General Han, I have thought of this a long time ago. From the results of recruiting people in the past few days, I know that they still have worries in their hearts. I have also heard their discussions, but they will change their minds soon..."

Han Yu was stunned. Could it be possible to change other people's minds? How to stop the gossip?

Seeing Han Yu's doubts, Lu Feng said again, "The fields of the nobles and dignitaries that have been confiscated in the past few days will be distributed equally according to the population, and the crops grown will belong to them, but they have to pay 20% of the harvest as military supplies! What do you think, General Han?"

As soon as Lu Feng finished speaking, Han Yu bowed and said, "My lord is wise! This will not only solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, but also provide sufficient food and fodder for the army. However... I'm afraid those dignitaries who lost their land will not let it go."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Lu Feng's eyes. "If they dare to cause trouble, they will be killed without mercy! We must let the people know that I, Lu Feng, will keep my word!"

A few days later, the streets and alleys of Phoenix were filled with laughter.

People praised Lu Feng's kindness, and their previous resentment disappeared.

Lu Feng stood on the city wall, looking at the prosperous scene, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
