Wang Er picked up the teapot on the table, poured a glass of water into the bowl on the table, held it up and handed it to Zhong Guangdao, and at the same time said: "I expected that you would definitely ask, so I deliberately kept you here. "
"I don't understand why we take everyone to take risks when there is clearly a way to survive." Zhong Guangdao stared at Wang Er in front of him with wide eyes.
"Drink some water first." Wang Er passed the water bowl forward again, and when Zhong Guangdao took it, he said, "I do this for everyone's sake."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Guangdao frowned and said, "For the sake of everyone, we should go and join the Datong rebels."
"Of course I know that it is safer to join the Datong rebels." Wang Er said, "Brother Zhong, have you ever thought about what we can gain by joining the Datong rebels now? Is it just to save our lives? If that is the case, why bother to start an uprising in the first place? .”
Zhong Guangdao frowned and said, "Is it possible, Brother Wang, that you also want to sit on the chair in the Dragon Court?"
"A beggar named Zhu can sit on the dragon chair. Why can't I, Wang Er, sit on that chair? Your brothers can do the same. Maybe in the future, all of us brothers will be able to sit on that chair." Wang Er grinned. Said with a smile.
Zhong Guangdao's eyes suddenly shrank.
Unexpectedly, after he asked casually, the other party actually had the idea of sitting in Longting.
Wang Er sat back in his previous seat and continued: "After so many years of rebellion by the slave thieves in Liaodong, the imperial court has been incompetent and has never been able to quell the rebellion. Instead, the entire Liaodong fell into the hands of the slave thieves. Besides, the Datong rebel army next to them not only captured the Xuan The two major prefectures now occupy more than half of the state capitals in Shanxi, and the imperial court has sent troops several times to do nothing. I am afraid that before long, the entire Shanxi will fall into the hands of the Datong rebels."
"That's why I think joining the Datong Rebels is the best way for us." Zhong Guangdao advised again.
Wang Er shook his head and said: "Brother Zhong, you only saw the strength of the Datong Rebel Army, but you didn't notice the weakness within the Ming Dynasty. If it were a few decades ago, how could anyone dare to openly rebel and still occupy a place?" Even the imperial army has been unable to do anything for so long."
"Are you trying to say that it's already the end of the dynasty?" Zhong Guangdao frowned deeply.
Snapped!
Wang Er excitedly raised his hand and slapped the table, and said: "Yes, the current situation is obviously a scene that only occurs at the end of the dynasty. This time is the time for our generation to show off its talents. As long as we can survive this time, There may not be a day when princes and marquises can be ennobled in the future."
"But what if I can't resist?" Zhong Guangdao asked what he cared about most. Although the title of knighthood also made his heart move, he knew better that only with his life in hand, could he talk about the future.
Wang Er said with a smile: "Don't worry, the officers and soldiers in Yansui Town won't be able to chase us for much longer. They will be in big trouble soon, and they may take the initiative to retreat in a few days."
"How is this possible!" Zhong Guangdao looked surprised.
The soldiers and horses of Yansui Town came just for them. As long as they captured Wang Er and the rebel leaders like them, it would be a great achievement. They were about to succeed, and it was impossible to retreat at this time no matter what.
Wang Er smiled and said: "Wang Jiayin has started an uprising in Fugu County, which is under the nose of Yansui Town. Do you think the Yansui Town troops chasing us will go back first?"
"When did this happen? Why didn't we know about it?" Zhong Guangdao frowned.
Wang Er had been staying with them to avoid being surrounded by officers and soldiers. He couldn't figure out how the other party could know about things so far away in Fugu County.
Wang Er said: "Do you still remember the person who came to see me a few days ago?"
"Is he the one who said he was a Datong rebel?" Zhong Guangdao asked.
Wang Er nodded and said: "This is the person. He came to see me at that time and said several things. One of them was that Wang Jiayin was revolting in Fugu County, and he said that as long as he joined the Datong Rebel Army, he would provide us with soldiers. First."
"So Wang Jiayin has joined the Datong Rebel Army?" Zhong Guangdao asked.
"It's hard to say." Wang Er pursed his lips, "But as long as what that person tells the truth, the Yansui Town soldiers who are chasing us will definitely go back to quell the rebellion."
Zhong Guangdao hesitated for a moment and said, "What if Yansui Town doesn't call back these troops?"
"Impossible, brother Zhong, don't forget, Yansui Town has just lost more than 10,000 troops and horses in Taiyuan Prefecture, and there must not be many left, and Fugu County is not only close to Yansui Town, but also It’s also close to Datong, so it’s impossible not to worry about Wang Jiayin joining forces with Datong’s rebels.”
After hearing these words, Zhong Guangdao pondered for a moment and then said: "Since Brother Wang already knows about Wang Jiayin's uprising, and the soldiers and horses from Yansui Town who are chasing us will soon retreat, why do we still go to Yan'an Mansion and stay here?" Isn’t Xi’an Mansion better?”
As for going to Shanxi to join the Datong Rebel Army, he didn't even mention it.
Because he knew that after this period of rebellion, Wang Er was no longer satisfied with the status quo and had greater ambitions.
"Because of this, we have to leave Xi'an Prefecture and go to Yan'an Prefecture." Wang Er said.
Zhong Guangdao showed a puzzled look.
Just listen to Wang Er say: "The officers and soldiers who intercepted us are not all soldiers and horses from Yansui Town, but also some officers and soldiers from Xi'an Prefecture. Even if there are no soldiers and horses from Yansui Town, the officers and soldiers from Xi'an Prefecture alone are not capable of doing so." It can be dealt with, but it will be different when you go to Yan'an Prefecture. Yan'an Prefecture's attention is all on Fugu County, and they will never think that if we suddenly go there, we can catch the government by surprise, and we can also gather more martyrs to join us. Rebels.”
After hearing this, Zhong Guangdao took a deep look at Wang Er in front of him.
In the past, he was the one who made suggestions for Wang Er, but he never expected that Wang Er could come up with such a seemingly risky method with a high chance of success.
"Brother Zhong, don't worry this time. No matter how confused I, Wang Er, am, I will never lead my brothers to die." Wang Er said to Zhong Guangdao.
Zhong Guangdao hesitated for a moment and asked: "Why didn't Brother Wang agree to the man from the Datong Rebel Army at that time? With the support of the Datong Rebel Army, we can have soldiers to deal with the officers and soldiers. This is a good thing, but the worst thing is that we won't do it in the future." Just keep interacting with the Datong Rebels."
"I've thought about what you said," Wang Er said, "Do you know what condition that person put forward?"
"What conditions?" Zhong Guangdao blurted out.
Wang Er said: "To give us the conditions for soldiers to be armored, they will send people to take over our troops and help us train peasant soldiers."
"Brother Wang, going to Yan'an Mansion may not be a way to survive. Why not go to Shanxi? Only in Shanxi can we survive." Seeing that there were only two of them left in the room, Zhong Guangdao finally couldn't help but question Wang Er.
