With Xu Deshan's cautious temperament, especially if he has already suffered a loss here, can he still eat a second time, before leaving, Xu Deshan had already asked someone to prepare a sharp knife and axe, hiding it on his body, and now he has encountered robbers, which just came in handy.

It can be said that these young people of the Zhuang tribe have not killed anyone, but they have killed the prey and fierce beasts in the mountains, and those beasts are obviously much more fierce than the robbers in front of them.

Don't doubt the determination of these young men to defend all the hopes of their village, Xu Deshan gave an order, and the young men rushed towards the group of robbers like hungry wolves, the robbers may have a little dream at this time, didn't they say that they would play the robbers, when the script was changed, why didn't anyone inform me.

This battle only took a cup of tea time to end, those robbers obviously have no combat effectiveness, robbing ordinary merchants is just a thing, where have you seen such a fierce foreign boy, as soon as the two sides came into contact, after being overturned by two people, the robbers scattered in a hurry, fled into the mountains, and were no longer seen, and Xu Deshan did not call chasing, gathered everyone together, and continued to hurry.

When he returned to the cottage, Xu Deshan and these 30 or so people were treated like heroes, hundreds of bags of grain were distributed to each cottage, enough for each cottage to get dozens of bags, and these grains can already help the cottage tide over the urgent need and solve the problem of hunger in the clan.

And the success of this operation has made Xu Deshan's prestige in the cottages soar, no way, milk is the mother, what is the use of the leader, what is the use of the gods, in the end, it is not Xu Deshan who told everyone to eat their stomachs, and the prosperity of Yongzhou City, the feeling of having money in their hands, has made everyone deeply infatuated and cannot extricate themselves.

Like money, this is a good thing, when a person does not steal or rob, earns money by legitimate means, it is abnormal to be unhappy, and this is also the driving force for human beings to move forward, it cannot be said that some people just like to eat chaff vegetables, live alone, in that case, whether from the perspective of survival of the fittest or the evolution of the superior, such people will be extinct in a few generations.

Seeing the success of an operation, the hearts of the leaders of the cottage are itchy, the first action is a temptation, although the various villages have taken out a lot of things, but those things at the bottom of the box are still treasured, and now after tasting the sweetness, the cottages are already brewing a stronger business action, and strive to exchange all the valuable things in their cottages for food.

Xu Deshan, as the guide of everyone, is naturally the decision-maker who decides the road of this second sale, and Xu Deshan naturally does not hesitate to use his wisdom to drag these kind and simple mountain children to the abyss of corruption and degeneration.

On this day, Xu Deshan taught the children in the cottage to read and read as usual, and suddenly from outside the cottage, a big man with a big shape broke in, wearing rough armor and holding a steel knife in his hand.

The intrusion of this big man immediately attracted the attention of men, women and children in the cottage, and seeing that he was holding a weapon, a man picked up the guy next to him and surrounded the big man.

When the big man saw people coming around, he didn't move, and shouted in Zhuang language, "Where is the leader of your stockade, I have something to discuss with him." ”

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what this big man was going to do, the big man raised his head and said, "I am a subordinate of Master Nong Zhigao of the Zhuang clan in Guangyuan Prefecture, I have something important to see your leader, the stakes are very high, and I hope the leader will listen to me." ”

The leader also walked out at this time, and looked the big man up and down, although the big man was wearing armor, but at a glance it could be seen that it was a Zhuang style, plus the language was common, there was no danger in thinking about it, so he said, "This strong man, please come to me for a while." ”

The man was very interested, and when he saw the leader speak, he put down the steel knife himself, and he didn't care who was next to him, he was alone, and followed the leader into the leader's house, and the big man whispered something to the leader, and the leader drove out all the people who followed him, closed the door, and did not let anyone approach.

But the more the chief was like this, the more curious the people in the stockade became, and if they didn't get closer, they wouldn't come closer, but those people gathered farther away, in groups, and began to discuss.

And Xu Deshan saw all this, and when he heard the man say the six words Nong Zhigao in Guangyuan Prefecture, his face sank suddenly, and he saw that everyone was watching the excitement, and he secretly returned to his own separate bamboo building and cleaned up.

But after a while, Xu Deshan heard that the crowd outside was lively again, and knew that it was the big man who left, and after a while, someone outside came to knock on the door, Xu Deshan looked sideways, it turned out to be Sha Qi, Sha Qi's face was heavy, and he said to Xu Deshan, "Brother Xu Deshan, the leader called you over, and I have something to discuss with you." ”

Xu Deshan had already guessed something, and seeing that Sha Qi seemed to know something, he didn't ask clearly, but he just agreed and followed Sha Qi to the leader's house.

The face of the first leader is not very good-looking now, seeing Xu Deshan coming, he hurriedly beckoned Xu Deshan to sit down, Xu Deshan naturally was not polite, found his most comfortable position to sit down, and asked, "The leader called me this time, is there something wrong?" ”

The leader nodded and said, "Exactly, did you see the man from the village just now?" ”

Xu Deshan nodded and said, "I saw it." ”

The leader asked, "Do you know what he's for?"

Come? ”

Xu Deshan smiled and said, "I am a Han person, you are a Zhuang person, what is something between your Zhuang people, naturally it is up to you to negotiate internally, how can I know." ”

The leader smiled bitterly and said, "Although this is the truth, but you have shown great wisdom in accumulating food for my village these days, and we don't know how to be good in this matter, so we want to ask your opinion." ”

Xu Deshan said, "In that case, what is it, you can tell me." ”

The leader said, "I am located here in Qinzhou, which is the inner border of the Song Dynasty, the hinterland of Guangxi, although it is poor, but there are merchants who secretly help each other, and they will not starve to death, but the man is the Guangyuan Prefecture people, and the Guangyuan Prefecture is the border between the Song Dynasty and the Jiaozhi State, and the Jiaozhi State has always been dishonest at the border, and often invades across the border, and they dare not go to the plains, but this deep mountain is their world, so the people in the mountains are deeply affected, including Nong Zhigao, who united the border tribes to resist the invasion of the Jiaozhi StateNong Zhigao asked the Song Dynasty for help, but several requests were refused, and now Nong Zhigao can't wait any longer, and wants to unite us and other tribes to raise troops against the Song Dynasty, and the man is here to contact us and wait, which is ...... You say something like this, how do we know how? ”

Xu Deshan smiled and said, "Don't worry, chief, let me ask the leader first, what do you want in your heart?" ”

The leader said, "To tell you the truth, if in the past, I couldn't eat enough in my village, but now that you have come, I have no worries about food and clothing in my village, this is ...... I didn't know what to do. ”

Xu Deshan said: "Then why do you think of asking me?" ”

The leader said, "You are the smartest here, who else can you ask if I don't ask?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "But I am of the Han nationality, you ask me, do you want to attack my race, how do you think I will answer?" ”

The leader was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Xu Deshan stood up and simply said, "To tell you the truth, I, Xu Deshan, am the court of the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor personally named the scribe Wailang, the sixth grade of the master, just because, only because the family was all killed by the Liao people, so I was disheartened, wandering south, and came here, now you come to ask me if I want to rebel, I am not afraid that I will report the court, and ask someone to lead the army to sweep your cottage!" ”

When the leader and Sha Qi heard this, they all changed color, and Xu Deshan said, "Of course, I'm just alone now, you can take me down, kill my head, and go to Nong Zhigao to repay the merits, if so, your cottage is not in danger of destroying the village." ”

The leader hurriedly said, "What are you talking about, you and my village have a life-saving grace, how can I do it to you, I have already said that I am up and down the cottage, up and down the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, and I can't repay your great kindness, how can I do it to you, and if I want to do it to you, how can I call you, I call you, I don't know how this matter is, so I want to ask you." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Then do you want to listen to the truth or lie?" ”

The leader hurriedly said, "Naturally, it's the truth, I really want to ask for advice." ”

Xu Deshan said, "You don't have to worry, we can analyze it slowly, whether my analysis is right or not, you can also make your own judgment." ”

The leader and Sha Qi hurriedly nodded and listened carefully.

Xu Deshan said, "Let's take a look at Nong Zhigao's side first, who is Nong Zhigao, but he is the leader of the Zhuang tribe in the mountains, after uniting many tribes to fight against the Jiaozhi country, he has accumulated some prestige, and it is just a matter of fighting against the Jiaozhi country, think about it, what strength does he have to fight against the Song Dynasty, maybe he can resist for a while with his strong numbers, but if the Great Song Dynasty dispatches the strength of the whole country, how long can he Nong Zhigao resist even with your help." ”

The leader and Sha Qi listened, and stopped talking, Xu Deshan continued, "Of course, Nong Zhigao's rebellion naturally has his reasons, I admit this, and I also admit that the Song Dynasty court has made some mistakes in dealing with your ethnic minorities, but judging from the actual situation now, if you want to rely on the strength of a mountainous area to fight against the entire Song Dynasty, and you may even have to add the attack of the Jiaozhi State, it will be even more impossible, so I advise you to do a good way, which is to stay here and don't go to Nong Zhigao to join in the fun." ”

Xu Deshan said again, "After speaking, Nong Zhigao, then let's analyze it now, the Song Dynasty, for the Song Dynasty, the Xixia people are terrible, the Liao people are terrible, and even the Jiaozhi people are terrible, but the only thing they are not afraid of is that there are people who rebel, you can't say that he is in the nest, and the reason for this thinking is very much related to the study of those bureaucrats and doctors, so this is the advanced point of the Song Dynasty's physique, and it is also where their disadvantages lie. ”

Xu Deshan paused, and said, "Since they are not afraid of you, so important Nong Zhigao dares to rebel, the Song Dynasty will definitely use all its strength to destroy him, Guangxi Road will not work in Guangdong, Guangdong will not work in Guangdong, and even the border troops in Shaanxi and Hebei can also be mobilized, and the Song Dynasty up and down, millions of troops, even if half of them are taken out, no one can resist." ”

After Xu Deshan finished speaking, he looked at the leader and Sha Qi, and the leader closed his eyes and thought for a while, and asked, "But according to it."

If you say that, my people must be bullied by them, right? Now you are here and saved us, but when you didn't come, we couldn't eat, I know, our little cottage can't trap your big dragon, and when you leave, won't we continue to starve and suffer? ”

Xu Deshan nodded, shook his head again, and said, "First, my ideal is to change the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is internal or external, or for your policies, it must be revised, this process may be very long, but I will work hard to do it, since I can save you once, then I can also save you twice, you have to believe me." ”

"Second, I have taught my knowledge and experience to the young people in your village, and without me, as long as they have some brains, you will not be impoverished as before."

"And the third, it is a wealth, as the saying goes, wealth is in danger, but I don't know if you are willing to take this risk."

The chief hurriedly asked, "What kind of wealth are you talking about?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "As long as Nong Zhigao rebels, then the Song Dynasty will definitely send people to collect, and few people in the Great Song Dynasty army can fight in the mountains, they must be helpless with Nong Zhigao, at this time, as long as you send some people, form a team, help the Song army break Nong Zhigao, and make contributions, the court will naturally have more rewards, and when the time comes, I dare not say, as long as the Song Dynasty court is in one day, your cottage will eat and drink without worry." ”

The leader was furious and said, "You mean, that we should take up our swords and guns and deal with our own brothers? This is a traitor, this is absolutely not possible. ”

Xu Deshan shrugged his shoulders and said, "How can it not, you know why everyone is human, but the Han people will be so strong, and you have been driven into the mountains, it is because the Han people are selfish, insidious and cunning, constantly infighting, constant friction, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, this is why the Han people flourish, and you, do you think that if you don't want to be this traitor, no one will go?" Let me tell you, there are thousands of Zhuang people, if you don't go, naturally someone will go, and when the time comes, people will be officials, you will continue to be poor, and people's tribes will multiply, and you may disappear in this mountain in two generations. ”

This question, asked before Xu Deshan came, the leader may not hesitate to refute Xu Deshan, answer that faith is important, and then beat Xu Deshan hard, but now it is different, after seeing that he can really live a life without hunger and drinking, the leader, and even most of the people in the village, have been almost corrupted by Xu Deshan, and the leader is confused when facing this question, and he doesn't know how to answer.

Xu Deshan said again, "You think that the current Song Dynasty is mediocre and incompetent, but compared with the previous dynasties, the current politics are much more enlightened, even if the court still has some mistakes, but it is far from being able to knock him down, you can rest assured, although I am a Han, but I am also a flexible Han, I will not be loyal to anyone, when I feel that the current court does not conform to the development of the times, I will not support him, and now, he can still represent the world's most advanced system, so ...... I advise you, don't be his enemy, even if you don't want to be promoted and get rich, find a quiet place to watch the excitement, don't go to the blind mixing. ”

The leader and Sha Qi didn't speak, thinking secretly in their hearts, Xu Deshan looked at it, knowing that he had already said what he should say, and there was no point in staying here any longer, so he stood up, went out of the room, closed the door by the way, and asked the leader and Sha Qi to discuss this matter properly.

Xu Deshan returned to the room and thought about it, since Nong Zhigao is going to rebel, then Guangxi, especially in the mountainous areas, will inevitably be chaotic, so there is no need for him to stay here, what he just said was not only for Sha Qi and others, but also for himself, he is still young, and his revenge has not been avenged, how can he be so depressed, this time Nong Zhigao rebelled, Sha Qi and others can take the opportunity to make contributions, and this is not a good opportunity for him to accumulate meritorious and fame capital again.

Don't look at the simplicity of what Xu Deshan said to Sha Qi, but in fact, this time Nong Zhigao's rebellion was more serious than the rebellion of the king of Hebei, and it was more difficult for the court to deal with it, then Hebei was close to the Liao country, and it was a place to raise troops since ancient times, not to mention that there was no danger to defend, as long as the court could respond quickly and cut off the connection between Wang Ze and other border troops, then it would be a matter of time before the king was exterminated.

But Nong Zhigao is different, first, Nong Zhigao is a foreigner, in the confrontation with the imperial court, the identity of the foreigner is born with incomparable appeal to the foreign race, coupled with the imperial court's suppression policy of foreign races for so many years, Nong Zhigao's influence will become incomparable, and everyone is willing to follow Nong Zhigao, which is very different from Wang Ze's method of relying on sects to force soldiers.

Second, Nong Zhigao started by relying on the mountains, thanks to the efforts of the Song Dynasty on the year, and trained Nong Zhigao and others to become experts in mountain warfare, fighting in the mountains, Nong Zhigao was born invincible, do you call the forbidden army to come, or call the border army, there is no ten times the number of the enemy, can you achieve a comprehensive encirclement and suppression, step by step?

Third, Xu Deshan himself is weak when he says this, because people are very wise, it's not that I don't want to be obedient, it's really that I am obedient and you don't want me, what can I do, I have to rebel.
