Chapter 4908: Sending military aid in times of need
Yu Yue was dumbfounded, and after a long while, he sighed: "I can't believe that I have been in a high position for so long, and I don't even know these things. In the past, I only heard that these servants took advantage of others and acted arrogantly, but I didn't know that they had reached such an extent.
ah."
Tao Yuanming curled up his lips: "I say Mr. Yu, these are living lessons. You must learn from them in the future. The more these lower-class people come up and suffer all the grievances below, once the powerful villain comes to power, they will
Getting worse is different from those of us who are scholars and understand etiquette. What are etiquette? To put it bluntly, aren't they just rules? It means that everyone in the world should follow their destiny, abide by their duties, and not do things that exceed their status. That kind of thing
People who are promoted in the morning know that their position of power will not last long and cannot be passed down, so when they have power in their hands, they will intensify their efforts to plunder and bully the inferior people. In the end, it is the common people who will suffer."
Yu Yue nodded: "I understand what you mean. I didn't understand these ancestral teachings and family laws very clearly before. Today, after talking to Tao Gong like this, I understood it all at once. Alas, these villains have succeeded.
, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, bullying superiors and subordinates, it is really a terrible thing. From now on, I have to let my nephew control the army. Only in this way can I be reliable."
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "Yu Yue is bad. Not to mention whether the nephews of the Yu family are really so loyal to you. They are not your biological sons, but nephews or even distant relatives. How can these people be so loyal to you?"
Are you loyal? Don’t you remember the lessons of the dispute between Xie Yan and Xie Xuan that the Xie family staged before, which led to the division of the family? "
Yu Yue's head began to sweat again, he took out his handkerchief and began to wipe the sweat beads, and said: "Well, what should I do? If it doesn't work for my nephew, then who can I trust?"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "There is another point that Yu Gong did not consider, that is, these nephews and even grandchildren, are they really like you, willing to endure hardships and hardships in order to revive the Yu family? If you don't go to the front line, you won't advance.
The army, at worst, doesn't have a title, and you can even hire someone to do it for you in the future. You can get military glory from afar, so why bother risking your life and death? Even if they are forced to join the army, are they willing to share the joys and sorrows with the sergeants and eat chaff?
Some things have been going on for decades or hundreds of years, and they cannot be changed overnight without force."
Yu Yue frowned deeply: "This won't work, that won't work either, so what should we do? Will we lose power and no longer have the ability to control the army?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Of course there is a way to do this, but it is just a temporary measure. Now you have no soldiers and no generals, but you have the status of the head of a big family and the official position of a general, so you can form an army."
The legion of five thousand people is now seriously injured and Liu Daogui cannot take charge. You can take the opportunity to raise an army again. As long as you are willing to accept it, I can arrange an army to come to you and obey your orders completely."
Yu Yue laughed: "So this is the help you told me. I'm very curious, Tao Gong, you are a great scholar, how can you have an army around you? Could it be that you took out the secret resources of Bai Hu and formed an army?
Lose your own power?"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "When Yu Gong took over the duty of guarding Qinglong, what resources did you get?"
Yu Yue's expression changed and he sighed: "Well, to tell you the truth, I really got nothing back then. I originally thought that the Mafia's four-party guard would always leave something behind, but in the end, all but one broke the meeting.
There was nothing outside the lobby. The first day after I joined, my heart dropped."
At this point, a trace of unwillingness flashed across his face: "Is it really these former guards who have destroyed everything and left nothing behind?"
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, because these guards were not transferred and inherited as before, but were wiped out one by one after internal strife. In addition to Sun En's Rebellion, Wu was completely destroyed, and there was nothing left. As for me
Bai Hu, who took over here, had taken out all the resources of the White Tiger family for his personal use when Huan Wen left the Black Hand Universe. Otherwise, he would not be able to dominate the country with Jingzhou. Wang Xun got it
All of them are just empty shells, let alone me. So the White Tiger line has always been just a false name since Wang Xun, just like the Qinglong you got."
Yu Yue sighed: "Then since you don't even have the resources left by White Tiger, how can you build your army? If you have this army, why don't you use it yourself?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Although I have nothing, don't forget, I still have the reputation of the Tao family ancestors, and there are people who think that our Tao family is the patriarch. The distinction we just talked about, the hierarchy, is clear.
Isn’t that what you’re talking about?”
Yu Yue's eyes widened: "You are all in such a state of desolation and have retreated to the mountains. Will anyone still recognize you?"
Tao Yuanming nodded: "How could it not be? There are thousands of people who have followed our Tao tribe and retreated to the mountains. They don't want to serve the subsequent governors of Jingzhou, especially Huan Wen, and these
Some of them are my kin and playmates since I was a child. I even taught them some military skills so that they could apply what they learned. When I went out to teach, there were also a few kin who came out to serve as officials or as officials.
After more than twenty years of joining the army to serve the country, some of them have done well and have reached the position of military commander, commanding more than a thousand troops."
Yu Yue laughed: "The commander of more than a thousand troops is just a small military leader, not even a general. On normal days, I would never even want to see such a small military academy, but now
, I have almost no soldiers around me, and these more than a thousand troops are all in urgent need of me. Who is this person? Can Mr. Tao tell me?"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "It is Luo Longsheng of our clan, who is now serving under the command of Lu Zong, the governor of Yongzhou, and is also the cavalry lieutenant of Lu Zongzhi's son Lu Gui."
Yu Yue nodded: "I have heard of this man, but I didn't expect that he is actually a member of your tribe. But he serves in the Yongzhou Army of the Lu family, so how could he come to me? Even if he is willing to come,
It will not be easy to bring all the subordinates we have now. I am not Liu Daogui. I have the power to dispatch the Yongzhou troops at will. Even Liu Daogui, I am afraid I can’t defeat Lu Zong’s subordinates."
Tao Yuanming smiled and waved his hand: "Everything is possible. As long as I ask Luo Longsheng to do it, he will do it. The rest is to devise an excuse that is enough for him to come over." ()
