"Well! Are you from the government too?" Ling Zhan frowned.
"That's right! Ren Tong is mine. My name is Yuwen Chengji, the prefect of Wu County."
Su Fan had a slight smile on his face. The more he looked at this person, the more Su Fan felt that this person was good and worth conquering, so he revealed his identity for the first time.
"You are the leader of this group of bandits. Seeing that you have managed this place in an orderly manner, it seems to be quite good. Your abilities are no worse than those of my men."
"How can you, a beautiful woman like me, be a thief?"
"Why don't you go back with me? You can also go back and become good people and become bandits? You don't think that your descendants and their descendants will all be bandits, right?"
"I will give you a chance to behave in an upright manner."
Su Fan didn't believe in the aura of domineering kings, but as a prefect of a county and a disciple of a powerful family, he believed that there were not many people in this world who could reject him.
Before the Song and Ming dynasties, aristocratic families were definitely the benchmark. The nine-level Zhongzheng system in the Jin and Jin Dynasties brought the power of aristocratic families to its peak.
Although the Sui Dynasty was established and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty began to suppress the wealthy families, the wealthy families in this world are still the mainstream.
Of course, martial arts are supreme in this world, and those supreme sects are also considered the mainstream. Even Cihang Jingzhai of Buddhism wants to control world affairs and preside over imperial power.
Later, they did succeed. They bet on Li Shimin and indeed allowed Li Shimin to ascend the throne and attack the Demon Sect.
However, it is a pity that Li Shimin is such a person that he is naturally unwilling to become Cihang Jingzhai's puppet.
With a backhand, he united with the Demon Sect and gave them a backstab.
Otherwise, how could Wu Zhao ascend to power?
Without the connivance of the Li family, no matter how talented and resourceful she was, she would not be able to become the empress.
Of course, in history, the empress relied on Buddhism, but in this world, Wu Zhao was a disciple of the Demon Sect, and he was also a disciple of the Yingui Sect, Cihang Jingzhai's mortal enemy.
Obviously in this world, the Six Paths of Demons and Buddhism are comparable to the existence of aristocratic families.
It is also the Six Paths of the Demon Sect, which has even existed longer than some aristocratic families. The Six Paths of the Demon Sect in this world is a sect other than Confucianism among the nine sects of the Han Dynasty. It was suppressed by Confucianism and became a secular demonic path.
They have been passed down one by one for a long time, and they were even able to overthrow the imperial court at one time.
The strength is extraordinary.
But no matter how powerful the family is, it is still very attractive to talents.
After Su Fan finished speaking, the young man started to move, not to mention the bandits behind him.
When they heard that Su Fan was the governor of Wu Commandery, everyone was filled with fear. In any case, these people were just low-class people who had no choice but to survive.
Regarding the natural fear of the government, now the governor of a county has said that they can be given a chance. Suddenly, everyone no longer has any resistance, but is more grateful to Su Fan.
"Are you really the governor of Wu County?"
Ling Zhan looked at Su Fan seriously and asked.
"Of course! Look, this is the seal of the prefect."
Su Fan nonchalantly threw out the seal of the Wu Commandery Prefect that he carried with him. The latter caught the seal in a panic and took a closer look.
He was still certain in his heart, and his face suddenly looked a little solemn and cautious.
This is a sign of respect for the official position of Wu Commandery's Grand Administrator. Ling Zhan was not a commoner with a humble background.
He, Ling Zhan, was a disciple of the Ling family of Wujun. The Ling family of Wujun was most famous during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. The family had twelve tiger ministers, Lingtong.
Although the Ling family is now in decline, and even he can only serve as the leader of the bandits, he still remembers the glory of the family.
"How is it? What do you think of my proposal?"
Su Fan looked at the young man and said with a smile on his face. Some of the bandits behind him had put down their weapons. Obviously, the name of a prefect was enough to scare these people.
"Prefect Yuwen, are you really willing to give us all a chance?"
Ling Zhan had to ask again cautiously.
"I have given them a chance to go down the mountain as promised. Moreover, I have been clearing up wasteland in Wu County. Now that they go down the mountain, they still have a chance to get a few acres of land."
Su Fan once again came up with a temptation. As soon as he said this, all the bandits put down their weapons.
Farmland is the lifeblood of all people. Once you hear that farmland exists, it would be difficult for these people to work with young people.
When Ling Zhan heard this, he also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As long as Prefect Yuwen does what he says, Ling Zhan's life will be sold to you."
"Your name is Ling Zhan. That's great. You won't regret your choice."
There are a total of more than 1,200 bandits here in Lion Rock, of which 60-70% are old, weak, women and children, and only 300 to 400 are strong.
The reason why Ren Tong was defeated when he led his people up the mountain was not only because he underestimated the enemy, but also because of Ling Zhan's strength and his ability to lead troops.
On the way, Su Fan also learned about Ling Zhan's identity. He was a descendant of Ling Tong, Jiang Biao's tiger minister, and he had a complete family history.
Moreover, the inheritance of military commanders tempering their bodies was not only from their Ling family, but also from the Sun family in the late Han Dynasty.
It's just that the Sun family's obviously has some shortcomings.
Su Fan did not ask Ling Zhan to bring out the Ling family's family inheritance, but Su Fan got the Sun family's "White Tiger Forging Technique".
After learning that Su Fan was interested in military strategists' methods of tempering their bodies, the latter also had good emotional intelligence and took the initiative to hand it over.
"The methods used by these generals to temper their bodies seem to place high demands on the body."
Su Fan quickly finished reading "White Tiger Forging Technique" and frowned after finishing it.
"Indeed! Most people can't stand this kind of method. If you practice it forcefully, your vitality will be easily depleted and your life span will be seriously shortened!"
Ling Zhan nodded.
"It's awesome, but it's a pity that it has big flaws and is difficult to popularize. No wonder military generals are declining now."
Su Fan lamented that this was the inheritance of the generals from the Three Kingdoms period. From this method of tempering the body, he could feel the terror of those fierce generals during the Three Kingdoms period.
Not to mention splitting mountains and seas, but one powerful blow may be able to break through a city wall like Wu Jun's.
This method of directly absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth and tempering the body is so domineering. It is much more powerful than Su Fan's method.
However, those with great flaws and weak physical bodies are likely to explode in an instant. Even if the body has a good foundation, the body will not be able to withstand such a rough tempering method after being constantly washed away by the vitality of heaven and earth.
Overbearing and rough, this is Su Fan's view of the "White Tiger Forging Skill". Of course it is powerful, it is indeed powerful, the practice is advanced, and the burst of Gang Qi is absolutely terrible. Su Fan feels that even a foundation-building monk may not be able to do it.
Block the attacks of those fierce generals during the Three Kingdoms period.
"In fact, you can also use medicine to make up for it."
Ling Zhan couldn't help but say something.
“Indeed, but the cost is huge”
Su Fan smiled and shook his head, and he understood in his heart why the current world is dominated by Zhenqi martial arts. The physical style is powerful, but it is also too dangerous.
