Chapter 14 The inside should be combined with the outside
Tao Yaoyao set off with more than 1,000 people on the same day, followed by ten carts of grain and grass materials. Tao Yaoyao watched so many people hike, and thought to herself that it would be good if she could extort these hundred or so good horses. However, just think about it, for these people in the camp, it is already a great progress to be able to eat and eat now, especially those who have little strength and seem to be weak, now they are not only not afraid of the past, but have partners and the motivation to live.
It's all because of this humble black-skinned kid.
"Doctor Tao, it's really not a good idea for us to set off through the dew forest at this hour." Ah Hu said on the side, but there was no dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Ah Hu, someone is targeting us. Today, we are going to go, and if we don't go, we are leaving. But do you know what's the difference? Tao Xiaoyao asked with a smile.
"Different?" Ah Hu tilted his head, and the okra who was accompanying him also looked over.
"The difference is that we ourselves are walking the road of life, and we are being carried by others to walk the road of death." Tao Yaoyao's words don't seem to be very easy to understand, Ah Hu thinks about it for a long time and doesn't understand it too much, isn't it all about leaving, what's the difference?
Okra looked at Tao Yao meaningfully, this person looked like he was only in his teens, why he said the same words as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life and death, it was a mystery.
"All of us set up camp in front of us, and we rested for the night in the woods. The odd team guards the first half of the night, and the even team guards the second half of the night just in case. Tao Xiaoxiao shouted loudly.
It's the first day, and she's not sure what those people know about them, so it's always a good idea to be careful. These rude people, who were originally out of order, were quite efficient at this time, and soon the leader of each group reported to their captain after assigning the task, and it didn't take long for okra to arrive at Tao's side.
"My lord, it's been arranged." Although it was only three days, this fierce tough guy still had some admiration for Tao Yaoyao, at least what he couldn't do before, the person in front of him did it.
"Okay, gather all the captains to discuss important matters!" After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, she walked towards the fire that was empty for her at this time.
"My lord, when the people are here, what do you command?" Eleven captains, plus Ah Hu and okra, fourteen people gathered together.
"Let's all sit down." Tao Yaoyao didn't speak, but asked them to sit down first.
These people didn't know why, so they hurried to find them what to do, and everyone's hearts were beating.
"Are you afraid?" Tao Yao looked at the dancing flames, they were like the most beautiful dancers in the world, dancing with no return, blooming in clusters under the invasion of the night.
"My lord—" Okra looked up.
"I know that you are afraid, and I am afraid. But we'll survive, I need you. Tao Xiaoxiao looked up again, and the firelight reflected in her eyes, reflecting her thin face red, reflecting tenacity and encouragement.
"My lord, I am willing to serve you." Everyone listened to it for some reason, and was attracted by such a pair of red eyes, not only half-kneeling down and shouting in unison.
"Sit down." Tao Xiaoxiao said again.
This time, they were much less anxious, and they all sat down obediently and waited quietly.
"I don't want to hide it from you, the head of the camp—oh, hehe, what the camp of the dead in your hearts is for—you must know. What you don't know is that whether we succeed or not, we will be abandoned by the follow-up forces. In other words, even if we survive and take Dragon Gorge Town, we may starve to death on the way back, die of thirst, or even turn into a pile of dry corpses in the desert. Tao Yao said quietly, as if stating an ordinary thing.
And when it was their turn, there was not as much surprise on their faces as Momo Yao thought, as if everyone had predicted that outcome, as if this was the way it should be, and no one spoke, including okra.
"Doctor Tao, you saved me, I have never been looked at in my life. I think you're amazing, but you've never looked down on me, Ah Hu only believes in you in this life! Ah Hu said firmly in silence.
"I believe in okra too!" Okra hesitated for a moment and said.
Following behind, the rest of the people naturally agreed. Tao Xiaoyao didn't know how much of it was true and how much was fake, and now she needed these people to come together.
"Well, in that case. I have a plan—" Tao Yao waited for a long time, until a gust of evening breeze blew in with heat, and then she continued, and then gave Ah Hu a look.
Ah Hu nodded knowingly, and asked the two of them to push out a small cart, which was full of grain and grass. Several detachment leaders were puzzled to move the grain and grass down, but found that there was a different box in the innermost, and this box looked heavy for both people.
"This is a kind of poison, called soft incense powder, which will not kill people, but poisoned people will sleep very deeply, but it can only last for two hours, and most of those people are soldiers, and it is conservatively estimated that it is only one hour." Tao Yaoyao pointed to the box of powdered things, which was the result of her so many days.
I thought about making some more bombs or something, but it was too conspicuous, and it would be bad if my identity was accidentally discovered. So, the last resort is to be unaware.
"My lord, although we are not as good as the other troops, there are 1,300 people, and without a single horse, it is completely impossible to pass through the canyon in one hour." There was a bald head who said.
Tao Yaoyao glanced at him and nodded, and continued, "I know, but what if we only have two hundred people over? ”
"Two hundred?" What do you mean by these people looking at each other?
"We'll be watched, but we'll be walking through this forest for the next five days, and the five of you will leave with your own team. Look for opportunities and don't be too deliberate. Ah Hu, you are responsible for preparing the rations for 500 people, and it should be easy to carry with you. Tao Yaoyao gave the order meticulously.
"Yes." Everyone is listening carefully, and their lives are at stake.
"The five of you have your team leader pick out the clever ones, and let them mix this soft fragrance into each other's meals, not only in the food but also in the water! Then ambush behind them, the praying mantis catches the cicada and we yellow finches are behind! Tao Xiaoyao added.
"But my lord, if we can poison them, why not directly—" The man gestured sideways.
"No!" Tao Xiaoxiao shook her head.
"Those people will definitely know that our side has already left, but they will not know that we will send someone first. Those stationed in ambush on the canyon could not be the main force, they were only white, but they had to do a good job of ambushing and reporting. If we are too quick to startle the snakes, it is really the best policy, if the main force gives up on them, will we not be in the mouth of the tiger? So, okra! You and your team of two detachment leaders sneak into Longxia Town while those people are asleep, and the defense of Longxia Town is false, and we can go straight through when the time comes. Although Longxia Town is a town, it is not difficult to mix two hundred people around. Tao Yaoyao explained.
"My lord, then we-" Okra frowned, this ploy was simply a dangerous victory.
"It's up to you." Tao Xiaoyao didn't wait for him to finish, and directly let go of the power.
Okra didn't expect Peach to believe in him so much, wasn't he afraid that he would take this opportunity to run away directly? It's the perfect time to escape!
"The rest of the people followed me, and when everything was set up, we just swaggered in. When the time comes, on the canyon and in Longxia Town, our three parties should join forces, and we may not be able to fight a bloody road. As long as Longxia Town is taken, even if Nansu gets the main force, we don't have to worry. Tao Yaoyao said with a smile.
"Good! Longxia Town is a natural danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and adults think too wonderfully. Since they've been keeping their minds on the outside, we're going to attack from the inside, okay! It was still the same bald head, and suddenly let out a hearty laugh.
Everyone continued to study the details, and the more everyone talked, the brighter their eyes became, they didn't know that they still had such a day. On the contrary, I am much less scared and more eager to try.
When everyone dispersed, Tao Xiaoyao suddenly felt anxious, but she had to go into a certain place in the forest as usual to solve it.
"Who?" Just as she was in the woods, ready to solve this physiological problem, suddenly the sound of a rustling nearby alerted her.
At this time, not to mention a rabbit, she doesn't believe an owl!
"Who?!" Tao Yaoyao raised her vigilance and did not dare to move in place, but she was already holding a dagger in her hand at this time. Her original dagger was given to the man named Dongjun, but she was used to carrying self-defense weapons on her body, and she had already found a simpler one, which can be regarded as a habit.
"Master, it's me." Tao Yaoyao's eyes flickered, and when she was about to wave her hand, the voice in her ears made her stunned.
This voice is – it's ignorance!
"It's you?! You're finally here—" By the time Tao Yaoyao saw the face of the man in front of her, so many days of defense were finally lifted.
"It's too late, please master-" Yao Wuming couldn't see Tao Yao's expression clearly in the dark night.
"Alright, it's good to come." Tao Xiaoyao waved his hand.
"The subordinates followed the signal left by the master all the way, and solved two people along the way." Yao Wuming said softly.
"Whose is it?" Tao Yaoyao's heart is alert again, and there is a spy in the shadows who has been looking for her.
"Master, please see." Xiao Wuming took out a waist card from his arms.
By the moonlight, Tao Yaoyao looked at it, this waist card was not Liu Xi's or that person, and the big "brocade" word on the waist card made waves in her eyes.
"Jinhua?!" Tao Yao was stunned, she didn't know this person, why did this person follow her? Is it a coincidence or a deliberate one?
