Chapter 235
"Is everything okay at home?" Shen Changsheng looked at his second sister and the others with concern with his bright dark eyes.
"It's okay!" Huang Zhongchang raised his head and looked at him with dark eyes, "I'm just worried that there won't be enough food."
"Just wait until the summer harvest." Shen Changsheng looked at him with his dark eyes.
"I'm afraid it's not enough. We have a lot of people, and our county is too small to support so many people." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep and penetrating eyes.
"What should we do then?" Shen Penglai looked at her anxiously and said.
"Attack Hezhong Prefecture!" Shen Hui'e said simply and easily.
"So we will command the troops here. Please both of you stay in Hezhong Prefecture to gather information and intelligence." Shen Hui'e said to the two Shen brothers with her deep and clear eyes.
"No problem." Shen Changsheng responded readily.
"Does any of your people live in Hezhong Prefecture?" Shen Hui'e looked at Huang Zhongchang again.
"Yes!" Huang Zhongchang nodded and said, "What do you want to do?"
"Let them go home and find out the situation in each village and town." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her clear and penetrating eyes.
"You won't let them go home and incite rebellion!" Huang Zhongchang said excitedly.
"What are you thinking?" Shen Hui'e looked at him unhappily and said, "Just a few people, what kind of waves can they cause in a rebellion?" Then she added, "Without consensus, there can be no rebellion." Pointing to the mountain, she said, "Even if those untrained soldiers dare to do it, I dare not let them take risks."
"In this situation, we have to think about what to do in the future even if we succeed in taking over Hezhong Prefecture." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Now we just need to understand the situation in Hezhong Prefecture thoroughly. Knowing ourselves and the enemy, we will win every battle."
"We can still stay in this mountain now. If we capture Hezhong Prefecture, we will officially step into the spotlight and be remembered by the government troops." Zhang Jixian said after thinking seriously for a moment.
"Yes, yes, yes! Can we fight against hundreds of thousands of government troops?" Shen Changsheng nodded hurriedly, feeling scared! "It's as easy for them to kill us as it is to kill an ant."
"Unite with other forces." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with clear eyes.
"Then we will have to be inferior to others, which is unfair to us." Zhang Jixian looked at them with a cold gaze and said.
"When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Isn't it just being humble and acting like a grandson?" Huang Zhongchang's dark eyes flickered when he heard that, and then he smiled and said, "Saving my life is the most important thing." He smiled and said, "Anyway, I am..." He stretched out his hand and patted his dark cheek and teased, "It's between saving face and staying alive, I choose to save my life."
Shen Hui'e looked at him with a hint of surprise in her eyes. He was really adaptable.
Shen Changsheng looked at them with a somewhat depressed mood and said, "I don't know if the other forces can withstand it if they are suppressed."
"Don't worry, it will definitely continue, but it will be much more low-key." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and bottomless eyes and said.
"Are you so sure, second sister?" Shen Penglai looked at her in disbelief and said, "They have a million troops, and we only have a few thousand at most."
"This is not a matter of comparing men and horses, but once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark and bright eyes and said, "In the eyes of the government troops, we are overthrowing them and rebelling! They will not show mercy."
"That's right. Except for those who escaped, the rest were all killed." Shen Penglai said sympathetically, touching his neck unconsciously.
"How could a million people fail? Three or two of them beat one, but they still couldn't win!" Shen Penglai asked innocently.
"This is not simply a case of using more people to defeat fewer." Zhang Jixian looked at him with amusement and said, "They are trained government troops, while those are just a mob. They are not even a little bit inferior in momentum."
"That's impossible!" Shen Penglai said in disbelief, "There are so many people, they are all human beings!"
"You haven't seen it. They are so intimidated when they stand in front of me, their legs trembling." Zhang Jixian looked at them with his dark eyes, and said to him who didn't know the immensity of the world, "Let's put it this way! It's like a thousand horses galloping."
Shen Penglai tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "I can't imagine it. I've never even seen ten horses. I really can't imagine what it would look like with ten thousand horses galloping."
"One soldier is a scoundrel, and so are all the generals." Shen Hui'e pondered for a moment and looked at them and said, "They lack a leader who is educated, courageous, strategic, selfless, and tenacious."
"So they are a mob, and their nature is too selfish. When the government troops rushed over, they just wanted to escape." Zhang Jixian said sympathetically, looking directly at her and said, "Sister-in-law, it's right to teach them to read and understand the truth!"
"So we must not only take up the sword, but also arm our minds." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with clear eyes.
"They are doomed to fail, because deep down they are more concerned about taking back their own interests." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and continued, "It's not to save the common people from dire straits, nor to overthrow the court."
"When the wind is favorable, we drink big bowls of wine and divide gold chunks. When the wind is unfavorable, we scatter like birds and beasts." Huang Zhongchang sighed when he heard this.
"Yeah!" Shen Hui'e nodded slightly. "The emperor was unscrupulous in his selfish desires, and the bureaucrats took the opportunity to amass wealth. No one cared about the lives of the common people." She continued, "Then the common people began to steal and rob in order to survive. When they found that they couldn't fight alone, they gathered together and became bandits. That's how the bandits came into being. They fought bravely, and the more they robbed, the more people who couldn't survive would surrender to them. They began to swallow up other weak forces."
"This seems to be talking about us." Shen Penglai said in a low voice.
"The essence is the same! We must learn from our experience and lessons." Shen Changsheng said to them with clear eyes.
"Well! Analyze how they failed. We must not make the same mistake again!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her clear black eyes.
"To sum up, the combat effectiveness is not high, so let's improve it, manage the troops, and build an elite force." Huang Zhongchang stood up and said, his eyes sparkling, "As for me, I have to find food. I can't have physical training if I'm not full." Very practical.
"Oh, yes, we killed the county magistrate. Doesn't the county governor know about it?" Shen Hui'e suddenly remembered and looked at him and said.
"It doesn't matter whether he knows or not. The county governor is only thinking about guarding Hezhong Prefecture. He has no other soldiers. What else can he do?" Shen Penglai snorted and said, "I guess he doesn't even dare to leave the city gate of Hezhong Prefecture."
"Why? Are you afraid that the common people will tear him apart?" Shen Hui'e asked them with raised eyebrows.
"Yes, the refugees outside the city have built shacks." Shen Changsheng spread his arms and said, "They are so densely packed that you can't see the end of them."
"So we are safe. As for how long, it depends on how fast the government troops can suppress the situation." Shen Penglai said, looking at them with his deep dark eyes.
"We should use this period of time to quickly train our troops and improve their combat effectiveness." Shen Hui'e looked at them seriously and said.
"Yeah!" They nodded in unison.

"By the way, where is your military discipline!" Shen Hui'e said to Zhang Jixian and others with her clear eyes.
"Ask Mr. Zhang about this. He knows about it." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his bright dark eyes.
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Jixian asked, looking straight at her.
"Engrave it in the most conspicuous place." Shen Hui'e looked at him seriously with her glassy eyes, "Not only learn the words, but also engrave them deeply in your mind. Don't violate military discipline."
"Strict discipline is an important guarantee for ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army. Only by strictly abiding by military regulations and discipline can we ensure the unified actions of the army and improve the combat effectiveness and combat efficiency of the army." Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with her deep and bright black eyes.
"I'll have someone carve it on..." Huang Zhongchang looked around and said, "Carve it on..."
"Carve it on the outer wall of your house. Wood is easy to carve." Shen Hui'e said to them with gentle eyes.
"Okay! I can see it every time I go in and out, and it will be firmly engraved in my heart." Huang Zhongchang said with a smile on his face.
"You can't use the excuse of not knowing how to read as an excuse." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said.
"You're not teaching them to read just for this, are you?" Zhang Jixian looked at her with amusement.
"Of course not. It's to win the battle and to stay alive." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her clear eyes and said, "In order to be flexible in combat, we need to unite the scattered sand."
"We are too weak. Not to mention the imperial court, we can't even compete with the powerful resistance forces." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark pupils and said, "Why do you let them follow you?" She added with sharp eyes, "You must dare to break up the team into small pieces, disperse them, and continue fighting."
"Aren't you afraid that they will not come back after they scatter?" Zhang Jixian looked at her who was too self-righteous and said, "You are taking it for granted." He frowned and said, "If you teach them martial arts now, they will disappear after they scatter. Without the general's control, you won't be afraid that they will become bandits! Or even run away, become deserters, or even join other forces! If they become bandits, their lethality will be greater than that of farmers."
"Yeah! Dispersing like this is tantamount to suicide!" Huang Zhongchang nodded in agreement.
"Learn morality before learning martial arts!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "Teach them to read and write, equip their minds with the simplest moral values, and teach them why they fight. Not only for themselves, but also for the common people who have the same experience." She looked at them with a raised eyebrow and said, "Can it work? When we fight against them, we can see the difference between us and other forces." She said confidently, "Compared with them, we have been reborn!"
What else can Zhang Jixian say at this point? No matter what, her martial arts skills are really beyond reproach.
If everyone's fighting ability is really like hers, then there is a great hope of survival.
