Song Dahu was really tempted by Bai Jin's proposal.
But even though Song Dahu was very tempted, he did not make an immediate decision. Instead, he called in some of his earliest confidants to discuss the matter together.
Although Song Dahu was a bit arrogant compared to the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Taizu, he always kept in mind the polite and virtuous manner of the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, no matter what the matter is, he will discuss it with someone before making a decision.
If a person wants to be successful, he must always have something special about him.
Even if it is short-term success, there may be an element of luck in it, but there must be some tricks that must be said. For example, Song Dahu could become a leader in the popular uprising in Qiping Prefecture and receive the support of Jie Luck Dao. Naturally, this was not entirely due to luck.
His courtesy and corporal manner, even if it was just a show, was a big help to his success.
When Song Dahu first started the rebellion, he was accompanied by four people. As Song Dahu's power grew, these four people naturally followed the trend, and each of his subordinates led a large number of people.
Now that Song Dahu has become the leader, he still relies heavily on these four people and does not give up just because he has some strength.
When Song Dahu mentioned Bai Jin's idea, two of his four brothers immediately expressed their agreement without thinking much. These two people, both with well-developed limbs and simple minds, were strong men under Song Dahu. The other two people thought for a while and expressed their opposition.
"Brother, it's not that the younger brother is jealous of talents, but that this time, the military advisor was sloppy!"
The one who spoke was the youngest among the four.
Gou Sheng had studied for several years, but because of his family's financial difficulties, he finally had no choice but to join a government office as a minor official. However, he had only been friends with Song Dahu since they were young. He was considered his best friend, and he was also the closest to Song Dahu among the four people under Song Dahu.
At this moment, when Gou Sheng expressed his objection, Song Dahu was really surprised.
The four men under him all call him big brother, but it is Gou Sheng who Song Dahu truly regards as his brother.
"Lao Wu, tell me!"
Although Song Dahu didn't like Gou Sheng's opposition very much, years of friendship convinced him that Gou Sheng was definitely not opposing for the sake of opposition.
When they were together, Gou Sheng was a smart guy, and Song Dahu admired him very much.
"Brother, all of us brothers are old people. Moreover, we are not married and have no relatives."
"But, the people under our command are not like this."
"It would be unrealistic to send away all the old people and leave only the young and strong!"
"Furthermore, our banner is to do justice for heaven and to plead for the people."
"Brother, if we really do what the military advisor says, it will shake our foundation."
Gou Sheng said it very seriously.
Song Dahu was silent. He was not stupid. Although he was a little drifting during this period, he had not reached the sky yet. Gou Sheng's words made Song Dahu tremble in his heart.
He only thought about the situation of insufficient food, but forgot that if there was no popular support, why would he gather so many people? Those young men are willing to rebel with him, isn't it just because he can make them and their families eat
Why did he rebel
It’s not because my parents starved to death!
"Lao Wu, you are right. What happened this time was due to my lack of careful consideration."
"That's it, let's leave this matter behind!"
Song Dahu sighed, "It's just that there are more and more of us, many of them are raising families, and we don't have enough food!"
"Brothers, do you have any good ideas?"
Since we can't shoulder the burden, we have to find ways to get more food.
"Brother, as for this, my little brother has also thought about it!"
It was Gou Sheng as before, "If the Jie Luck Road can provide us with food, then they must have a lot of food. We are now considered to be strong soldiers and horses. Since the Jie Luck Road has food, why don't we go to Jiangnan Mansion instead of going to Jiangnan Mansion?" Going to Xiangyi Prefecture?"
"Xiangyi Prefecture was also hit by a disaster last year. The late spring and cold weather this spring are just like our Qiping Prefecture. We are also unable to plant crops on time. This year's harvest is not much better."
"We can completely change the direction and go directly to Jiannan Mansion!"
"If nothing else works, let's go to Jiangnan!"
"Jiangnan has not been affected by the disaster. It is known as the granary of the Tang Dynasty. There is no reason for us to rush to Xiangyi Prefecture. There are Marquis Wu Cheng and Uncle Yong Wu there. They are strong bones."
"Can we people, even the second and fourth brothers who are said to be brave, be able to beat the brave uncle who is the most brave in the world?"
"Second brother, fourth brother, I'm not looking down on you, but we have to be realistic."
"Don't say that, old five, brothers all understand!"
The two people named by Gou Sheng were not embarrassed at all. It was not a shameful thing to give in. After all, their martial arts skills are indeed just that.
In fact, they may not even be able to defeat some of their men, so how dare they think that they can compare with the brave uncle who can charge thousands of horses with one person
"Lao Wu, everything you said makes sense!"
Song Dahu did not deny Gou Sheng's judgment, but he had to go to Xiangyi Mansion.
"We brothers have been friends for many years. I won't hide the reason why I went to Xiangyi Mansion."
"Don't look at such a big battle like ours, but without the blessing of the national destiny dragon vein, sooner or later we will be doomed."
"Although the Jie Luck Dao has done a lot of bad things, it still has some methods that even the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty must respect."
"Xiangyi Mansion has dragon veins!"
"Whether we can achieve great things depends on whether we can occupy Xiangyi Mansion."
"Even if we can't find the location of the dragon vein, as long as we occupy Xiangyi Prefecture, the dragon vein will be within our territory."
"At that time, we don't need to do anything. As long as we defend Xiangyi Mansion, we will be a country, and you brothers will be the noble kings who founded the country!"
Song Dahu inadvertently made a big cake for Gou Sheng and others.
They did just want to fill their stomachs at first, but as their soldiers and horses gradually strengthened and their strength became stronger and stronger, their ambitions naturally increased.
"Brother, if that's the case, then let's give it a try!"
"But no matter what, we can't exclude the old, weak, women and children. On the contrary, my brother thinks that we have to be nicer to them."
"Whether it's Marquis Wu Cheng or Uncle Yong Wu, no matter how powerful they are, they can't kill defenseless old, weak women and children!"
"Lao Wu, with you, I am tall, really tall!"
When Song Dahu heard Gou Sheng's remarks, he gave a thumbs up.
Indeed!
No matter who it is, if word spreads about killing old people, women and children, they can drown him just by spitting out stars. (End of chapter)
