Chapter 45: Revealing Ambition
"Although I was just looking at the flowers and didn't see many things clearly, I saw that around May, Shizun would surround Zhang Jiao in Guangzong County. Now it's only March, and with the daily marching speed of our army, it will be less than April at most......" Liu Tao did not hide it, and said his real concerns.
"My brother's concern is reasonable, not to mention whether he will encounter the main force of the Yellow Turban, if he does, it is really unwise to use a maximum of two thousand people against the other party's main force of tens of thousands." Lu Yan nodded when he heard this.
If Liu Tao said these words directly, he would feel incredible. But with the previous passage as a foreshadowing, he had other ideas. Not to mention anything else, it was Lu Zhi who surrounded Guangzong, that was his father, and the more credit the better.
If you think about it this way, then you will naturally consider: Did Liu Tao not want to take credit for Lu Zhi, so he didn't march quickly?
If so, Lu Yan felt that he owed Liu Tao something. At the same time, if it is really as Liu Tao expected, then the army at this moment may indeed face the main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves who have been defeated by Lu Zhi for a long time and are full of grievances, so even if they win, it will be a loss of troops and a loss.
"It turns out that my brother is far-sighted, but we are too superficial!" Lu Yan hurriedly confessed.
"It's not that you're superficial, it's that I've seen a lot of things. It's just that these unconfirmed things are not easy for me to talk about publicly...... Let's just say that I know how to spell, and only our four brothers know, otherwise if it spreads, there will be some people who will take me down under the pretext of demons, which is not good. Liu Tao shook his head.
"What my brother said is very true." Lu Yan nodded, "It's just that the foolish brother thinks that although it is not suitable to be publicized everywhere, it is better not to hide it from Xianhe, Zirui and Xingming are better." Especially Xianhe, it looks like a thick branch, but in fact, it is as delicate as a hair. ”
"If you say that, I'll think about it...... Let's not talk about that, but now I'm going to tell you the secret, what do you think we should do in this situation? Liu Tao was also relieved at the moment, there was an object that could be discussed.
Otherwise, with his IQ, even if he knows the direction of history, he may not be able to make good use of it. Not to mention, he actually doesn't know that much, after a long time, some things are still forgotten, otherwise there is no need to write them down.
"The safest way should be to go to Zhongshan County quickly, and after sending Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping back, immediately report to my father's army. In this way, where to attack, my father can better arrange, and at the same time, he can have friendly troops as support! Lu Yan thought about it and immediately replied.
"What if you encounter the main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves?" Liu Tao also voiced his concerns.
"Avoid important places and county seats, and take the country roads. If you encounter a thief, you will eat a small share directly, and if you encounter a large group of enemies, you will report it and run away immediately. The elder brother formed a cavalry unit, which could play a miraculous effect, and now that I think about it, it was really far-sighted at that time! Lu Yan thought for a moment, and then said what he thought.
At the same time, I really admire Liu Tao in my heart, no matter what, I have to train the cavalry, although the number is small, but the seventy people are used as scouts or for charging, and they have a miraculous effect on the yellow turban thieves who have almost no cavalry!
Not to mention, if Zhang Shiping is sent back, there will be hundreds of horses as a reward at that time, which is enough to form a cavalry force of about 300 people, and there will be even more tactics that can be used at that time!
"From Zhongshan County to Julu County, although the waterways are staggered, there are no mountains and forests, and it is not easy to avoid the main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves......" After listening to Lu Yan's words, Liu Tao thought thoughtfully, "Okay, when you see the move, go directly to meet with the master first!" ”
"Having said that, if my brother sees his father, it would be better to change the title of Shizun. My father didn't like this title at all, so it was more appropriate to change it to a teacher or teacher. Lu Yan thought about it, and finally persuaded him.
Since a year ago, Liu Tao has been referring to Lu Zhi as a master. Seriously, this title Lu Yan sounds pretty good, so he didn't deliberately correct it. can think of his father's character, if he still uses this title when he meets, I am afraid that he will not be very happy.
"This ...... Originally, I just respected the teacher, but since that's the case, I'll change it. Liu Tao hadn't noticed anything wrong with this title before, but since Lu Yan said so, he simply complied.
"Father doesn't like this kind of vanity, and if my brother can continue to study the scriptures and achieve something in the scriptures, he will be really gratified." Lu Yan teased.
"Then you have to teach me, I went to study back then, I was too young, and it was ridiculous to come back for a few years, and I fell behind a lot in my studies." Liu Tao also knows that in this era, you really have no knowledge at all, and you are troublesome.
"My brother is willing to learn, and Yan is naturally willing to teach." Lu Yan was very relieved that his brother had completely woken up, "But in my opinion, it is best to talk to the third and fourth brothers about the dream of the elder brother." In the end, they are brothers, and there should be no estrangement. ”
"Well, you're thinking about it too, I'm going to find them!" Liu Tao nodded immediately, in fact, he just asked Lu Yan to try it to see if this set could be mixed, since he could, he could naturally tell Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"I'll go with my brother!" Lu Yan also got up and replied.
The two went directly to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's camp tent, called the two out, and after confirming that there was no fifth person, Liu Tao told the two frankly.
"Brother still has such a miraculous encounter?" Zhang Fei didn't care much about anything else, but just thought the experience was really interesting.
"I didn't expect the big man to be in turmoil to this extent......" Guan Yu sighed with a complicated expression.
"Fortunately, nothing happened, as long as we work hard, we will help the community in danger and let the big man continue to stand!" Liu Tao explained.
"Brother, I just want to ask......" Guan Yu looked at Liu Tao, "If Your Majesty doesn't help, what does your brother want?" ”
This is a bit heart-wrenching, but in fact it is the part that Liu Tao must choose. If he intervenes to save the building from toppling, with this monstrous achievement, will he be willing to just be a prince of peace? Even if the Son of Heaven is willing, the heir of the Son of Heaven will be willing to see such a meritorious man exist?!
"I ......" Liu Tao hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, "Emperor Guangwu of Han is also a member of the Han family!" ”
Liu Xiu, as a relative of the Han family, was also loyal to the first emperor who was supported by the Green Forest Army after raising the army. Also because of suspicion, he had to raise troops again, and then dominate the world and establish the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Liu Tao is also a member of the Han family, and if he really gets to that point, he will naturally not sit stupidly and wait to die. Liu Xiu did it, why couldn't he do it? Besides, if you are not the emperor, how can you promote the comprehensive reform of the country, if the country does not reform, who can guarantee that the rebellion of the eight kings will still appear?
This is the first time for Liu Tao to express his ambitions to the three of them, and at this moment, the expressions of the three people are different, more shocked, then joyful, and a little complicated.
The point is, but there is no indignation or disdain, perhaps it is a matter of identity, the four of them are righteous brothers, and they meet to share wealth and hardship. If Liu Tao can be called the emperor, they will naturally rise with the tide, at least they will be a feudal marquis!
"We are willing to follow my brother to create a great cause!" The three of them were silent for a while, exchanged glances, and then expressed their positions at the same time.
