Chapter 99
"Ni'er is right. How difficult it is to go along the way!" Shen nodded and immediately agreed.
"If you go south, it should be easier to walk along the Yellow River channel, go east, enter Qilu, and walk south." Yao Changsheng drew a map on the bluestone slab with a fire stick.
"We don't have to worry about food and drink, but we will get better when we reach the Yellow River." Tao Liuyi said excitedly.
"If you have no objection, let's continue to walk east along the Yellow River channel." Yao Changsheng's gentle gaze swept over them.
"No objection, no objection." The three members of the Tao family shook their heads together and said.
"But we haven't walked this road, so I don't know what we will encounter on the road?" Tao Shiwu said worriedly, "I am not familiar with the place?" He felt a little worried.
"Dad, what you said is that you are not familiar with the place when you escape from the famine." Tao Qini said to him with a smile on her eyes.
"Is there any rebel army in Qilu?" Tao Liuyi turned his eyes to Yao Changsheng and asked.
"Yes, but I don't recommend that we surrender to him." Yao Changsheng looked at them and said seriously, "First, Qilu is too close to the capital, and the court sends troops to wipe it out at any time. Second, he has no ambitions and only wants to guard one acre of three parts of the land, not a person who does big things."
"Are you just trying to encourage such a person?" Tao Qini suddenly said with her deep eyes as deep as the sea.
"Although I'm eager to take revenge, I can't let them die in vain." Yao Changsheng looked at him quietly and said, "Although Yanting is corrupt inside, it has a very obvious advantage compared to the mobs of the rebel army."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Yao, I don't understand what you said. You said the court is powerful, but why are the rebels fighting more and more? " Tao Liuyi looked at him and asked strangely.
"This is simple, it's all wiped out. How could they ask the court for military pay!" Yao Changsheng said with a sneer.
"Ah!" Tao's three men looked at him dumbfoundedly. Tao Liuyi swallowed his saliva, "You can still do this."
"There are so many twists and turns here, only what you can't imagine, and nothing they can't do. Empty salary is the most common." Yao Changsheng looked at them and sighed. The Yao family army, which was famous in the court, was no exception, and could not survive.
"Then who should we rely on these rebel soldiers, Mr. Yao?" Tao Liuyi looked at Yao Changsheng and asked.
"These rebels really have guns and are the kings of grass heads. They are known as the Eighteenth Route Rebellion Kings. To be honest, I don't think so." Yao Changsheng took a deep breath and looked at them and said, "For the army of the court, they are all mobs, and they have various problems."
"Question?" Tao Qini raised her eyebrows and said, "I hope to hear the details."
"Disrespect for Confucius and Mencius, and blaspheme the way of the saints." Yao Changsheng held his fists and bowed, "Destroyed the principles of heaven and human ethics. He attacked excessively, like bandits, burned, killed, looted. That was to the court. If the court was strong, he surrendered, and if the court was weak, he would rebel. He had no strategic policy. He could not be self-sufficient in food and salary, and did not know the tactics of military affairs at the time of battle. He plundered his wives and daughters' property, but only knew how to take it from the people, but did not know how to rest with the people. The generals were narrow-minded..."
"One soldier is a soldier, and the general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted." Tao Qini looked at him and snorted.
"Yes! The soldiers lack training, and their combat is like a group fight, and they are out of order. They gather when they win, and when they lose, they will suddenly scatter." Yao Changsheng looked at them and continued, "You can only fight with the wind."
"Sweat more often in normal times and less blood during wartime." Tao Qini said her own experience.
"This is all about luck when you go to the battlefield, or the promised big bowl of drinking, eating meat, beauties, and jewelry." Yao Changsheng looked at them and shook his head slightly.
The most primitive stimulation of human beings, Tao Qini complained in her heart, looking up at him and said to the truth, "However, the reality is the most effective at this time, don't blame them too much. They can't survive at first, they are just for stuttering. You can't understand the country and the world when you tell them!"
Yao Changsheng looked at her in surprise when he heard this. This was also good, "But the innocent people were injured." He paused and said, "The victory achieved by the rebel army was simply piled up for human lives." His eyes were dull and he looked at her and said, "The internal struggle between the rebel army is serious, and they are suspicious of each other and fighting continuously." He pursed his lips and said, "There are people who are rebelling in this prefecture and prefecture, and there are so many people who are as numerous as cows, so it is difficult to accomplish a big deal. Why?"
"If you don't unite!" Tao Qini said in a word, "Everyone has their own little Jiujiu. They are either wiped out by the court or swallowed up by other rebels."
"The mob is a mob. If these problems cannot be solved, they will be just a bandit after all, and it will be difficult to achieve great things." Yao Changsheng said arrogantly.
Now the emperor is incompetent and incompetent, corrupt officials everywhere, levying heavy taxes, forcing the people to go desperately, and the peasants are rebelling everywhere. In fact, he looks down on the rebels from the bottom of his heart.
"It's not good if you belittle others so much, you might as well become king." Tao Qini looked at him like a bright moon and said casually.
"Yes! Mr. Yao is so capable, the emperor can sit down." Tao Liuyi looked at him with admiration with little starlight on his eyes, "Is he the grass-headed king with a gun?"
"Me?" Yao Changsheng's heart skipped a beat. The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Even if he had this ambition, he could not be exposed now! Then he shook his head and said, "I don't have that idea. This emperor is not what anyone wants to do. Isn't it that lonely man? " Looking at them, he asked, "Where are you? Haven't you ever become kings and domineering?"
"We? How is that possible?" Tao Shiwu quickly shook his head, thought about it carefully, and shivered, "I can't imagine that it's said that a hero has three gangs, but we are alone and it's useless to pull the banner."
Tao Qini looked at the cute and pursed her lips and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Yao Changsheng turned his eyes to her and suddenly said.
Tao Qini looked at him with a starry eyes and smiled, "Human ambitions are expanding step by step. For us, white flour buns are more realistic now."
When Yao Changsheng heard this, his black eyes flashed lightly, and his eyelashes as thick as crow feathers were hanging down, covering his mind. Naturally, he heard what he meant. It is meaningless to talk about these things now. Whether it is his knowledge or his level is too low, how could he think of such a distant thing?
If a general or a minister is not born, men should be self-reliant. As time changes and moods change, their hearts will change.
I just hope that the Tao family can still maintain the rare quality of simplicity and kindness.
"Mr. Yao, haven't you said who we are going to surrender to?" Tao Liuyi asked anxiously at him.
