Qiming 1158

Chapter 114

With regard to these issues, Su Yonglin felt that there was no need to hide it.

"At the beginning of the uprising, it was April. At that time, Juzhou, Yizhou and Mizhou responded with more than [-] troops. As for now, the entire East Shandong Road, plus a Tai'an Prefecture, are all from the Liberation Army. The total strength of the Restoration Army has exceeded [-], about [-]."

Jiagu Asu widened his eyes again.

"It's only been three months, but it has reached this point? Twenty-three thousand? How did you do it? It's impossible!"

"Thanks to your aggressive levies, the Restoration Army's uprising was just a group of landlords and squires trying to keep their land, but as soon as they rebelled, countless people would immediately rebel.

And why do you think it's impossible?You extortionate and extortionate, disregarding the life and death of the people. They have no land, and they can’t even eat. If you don’t rebel, you will starve to death. If you rebel, you can at least hope to have enough food. Why don’t you give it a try?Have you ever read a book? "

Su Yonglin's words surprised Jiagu Asu for a moment.

"Of course I did."

"Have you read the historical records of the Han family?"

"I heard it, but I didn't read it carefully."

"There is a saying in the family of Chen She in the historical records, [Death today will also die, even if you make a big plan, you will die if you wait until you die], fleeing is death, rebelling is also death, both are death, why not fight for that glimmer of hope How about one?"

Su Yonglin looked at this Jiagu Asu: "When you were eating, drinking, and enjoying yourself, didn't you really think that the anger of the people could burn you to death? Aren't you worried? Aren't you afraid?"

I have to say, this statement makes a lot of sense.

Who cares about that when it's just luxury?
Indulge in good enjoyment, who cares about the life and death of the people?

So Jiagu Asu sighed deeply.

"You made the shipwreck in the river, right?"

"Speaking of this, I find it very interesting. Why don't you send someone to check whether the places the army needs to pass through are safe? I haven't seen the sentry, neither have I seen the vanguard, and I have made a series of preparations to no avail. Come on, what do you think?"

Su Yonglin's rhetorical question made Jiagu Asu feel speechless and regretful.

So he covered his face with his hands.

"Do you think we're simply vulnerable, so you didn't do these things? Or maybe you didn't think about it at all?"

"Don't ask."

"Well, it looks like I guessed right."

Su Yonglin nodded: "I arranged the blockage of the river. I knew in advance the number of your troops, the route, and the water you transported to transport food, so I thought of blocking the river to prevent you from moving forward, and then looking for fighter planes. annihilate you.

At that time, I thought that the best situation was for you to leave most of your troops behind and attack Tai'an with a few elites first, but I don't think the possibility is high, but you actually did this. You know how happy I was at that time. ? "

"My cavalry..."

"I set up an ambush to kill them all. I chose a good battlefield. It's about half a day away from here. There are mountains on one side and water on the other. I send people to block each other, and they are finished."

Su Yonglin said lightly: "It was yesterday, the war started in the morning and ended at noon."

"yesterday?"

Jiagu Asu suddenly frowned: "You guys came here immediately after noon yesterday?"

"No, I left last night."

"you……"

"I marched in a hurry at night, accelerated the speed and rushed here. I arrived before the fifth watch. When the gongs and drums sounded in your barracks, we officially launched an attack and defeated you in one fell swoop."

Jiagu Asu was stunned for a while.

"In more than a day, you fought two battles and traveled again. How many people have you escaped?"

"No one escaped, but dozens of people fell and got sprained. I'm very distressed, but I can't help it."

Su Yonglin sighed and said, "Unlike you, we can't afford to lose, and once we lose, we're done, so I have to keep winning, keep winning, and win until I'm completely victorious. My soldiers understand this truth. , they have one heart with me, right?"

Su Yonglin suddenly asked loudly, and then all the soldiers of the Shengjie Army around him replied in unison.

"Correct!"

The uniform voice gave Jiagu Asu a shiver, and finally accepted this fact with great difficulty.

"What are your plans next?"

Jiagu Asu suddenly paid attention to this issue.

"Capturing the Shanxi Road and Damingfu Road, and based on this, the west expedition and the northern expedition are expected to overthrow Jinting and retake the Central Plains."

When Jiagu Asu heard this, he was shocked.

"You want to expedition to the north? Recapture the Central Plains? Do you want to join forces with the Song Kingdom on the northern expedition?"

"No, the Northern Expedition alone, the Song Kingdom... Hmph, forget it, I'm not interested, anyway, I'm not interested, I just want to overthrow Jinting and retake the Central Plains, relying on my own strength."

"Your own power?"

Jiagu Asu stared at Su Yonglin and asked, "What is your status in the Restoration Army? What is your status as the commander of the Shengjie Army?"

"Under the leader Zhao Kaishan, it is me, Su Yonglin, and another general, Sun Ziyi, and then the others. This is my status."

"You are only 20 years old, why can you occupy such a high position in the recovery army of more than [-] people?"

Jiagu Asu was curious.

"It's very simple, because I, Zhao Kaishan, and Sun Ziyi, the three of us are the initiators of the rebellion."

"Initiator..."

Jiagu Asu narrowed his eyes: "You're young, but you're not too timid."

"It wasn't big at first, but after defeating you, it should be a little bigger than before."

Su Yonglin's irony made Jiagu Asu annoyed for a while, but when he thought about his situation, he didn't even have the confidence to get angry, so he could only hang his head weakly.

"I know enough."

"That's my turn. I also have a lot of things I want to know. In exchange, you have to tell me too."

Jiagu Asu raised his head.

"What do you want to know?"

"Does your emperor know about our rebellion?"

Jiagu Asu laughed.

"Why, are you afraid?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, I'm just a little puzzled. If he knew that we were rebelling here, and that we had swept over half of Shandong, why didn't he send troops to the south to attack us, but you came? Does he believe in you that much?"

Jiagu Asu stopped smiling.

To be precise, I couldn't laugh.

His performance gave Su Yonglin a bold guess.

"Could it be that you lied and didn't tell your emperor about the situation in Shandong? Or you just reported the good news instead of the bad news, and said it lightly, and didn't report the actual situation at all."

"Don't ask."

Jiagu Asu held his head in his hands and lowered his head deeply.

"It's been like this for a long time! Hahahahahaha! Hahahahaha! God helps me too! God helps me too!!!"

Su Yonglin stood up, bent down and patted Jiagu Asu on the shoulder, unable to straighten his waist with a smile.

"I laughed so hard! Hahaha! Really! I've thought about it, thought about countless reasons, and even helped you to think of excellent reasons, but this one came out... Am I overestimating you all? Is it? Hahahahaha!"

With such a smile, Su Yonglin turned around and looked at the soldiers of the Shengjie Army behind him.

"Have you seen it? For the sake of their own lives and futures, these local officials deceived the top and the bottom, and even the rebels were able to falsify and keep the emperor from knowing about it. It is conceivable that they usually deceive the top and the bottom. .

This is the bureaucrat, the upper class, for their own self-interest, they can ignore the public interest of the whole country and do all kinds of unthinkable things, and even would rather let the rebels grow step by step, and are unwilling to tell the actual situation to the emperor, just for their own sake private interests.

What a horrible bureaucracy?What a terrible high-class man?Are they our enemies?Of course, they will be our enemies, they will oppress us, use their power to bully us, and even kill us, of course they are enemies.

But in a sense, they can also be friends. For example, now, because of self-interest, they don't tell the emperor the real situation, but tell the court, the court doesn't know what happened, and thinks it's just a group of bandits gathered in the mountains and forests, and doesn't care at all.

You say that if they have the ability to quell the rebellion, they will deceive people, but most bureaucrats and high-level people do not have this ability, they can only constantly deceive the top and the bottom. The more dangerous it is, the more deception. Like a lost gambler. "
