How's Yao Youduo?

Yao is a strange person. His knowledge is strange. He is the son of a doctor, but he didn't inherit his father's career. He was young, studious, intelligent and thoughtful. He should have embarked on the road of imperial examination, but he became a monk at the age of 14, and his legal name was "Daoyan". Although he wore a monk's robe, he had no taboos, and he also learned the art of Yin and Yang and the astronomical art of war from Taoist priests. In a word, Yao learned all the way and dabbled extensively, and eventually became a miscellaneous Confucian who was proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Yao Xiaoguang soon became famous because of his extraordinary talent. He is also keen to make friends with scholars and celebrities, among whom Song Lian and Su Boheng are great scholars.

Yao's "eccentricity" is that although he escaped into an empty net, his appearance, words and deeds are not quite like a monk.

Once, Yao visited Songshan Temple and met a fortune teller named Yuan Xun. After seeing him, the other party said, "What a strange monk! The eyes are triangular, like a sick tiger, and the sex will be murderous, Liu Liu. " Liu was an important minister around Kublai Khan, the designer of Yuan system and the planner of Yuan Dynasty. Yuan Xun's evaluation of Yao's appearance is obviously not a good word. It is good for ordinary people to be evaluated in this way, which can stabilize their emotions. Who knows, after hearing this, Yao was "overjoyed"!

On another occasion, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered monks who were proficient in Confucianism to take the examination of the Ministry of Rites. Yao left full of confidence, but unfortunately he was not hired. After that, I received the monk's clothes from the imperial court and went home. When passing through Beigushan, he wrote a poem: "After years of fighting, fireworks have withered by half." Wuzhou Mountain is near the clouds, long live the empty building, and jathyapple is cold. The river is not tidal, and Noda has a way to Jintan. Where is Emperor Xiao Liang now? Gu Bei Qingqing is tired of watching it. After listening to this, the fellow monks asked him, "Is this what monks should say?" "Yao just laughed again.

Yao is a monk, but harmony is not the same. Later history also proved the fortune teller's judgment on him: although he wore a cassock all his life, he actually used what he had learned all his life to become a politician who started a dynasty.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu (1382), Zhu Yuanzhang selected a group of eminent monks to accompany the king. Yao Xiaoguang took this opportunity to meet Judy, the prince of Yan. The two men talked happily and hit it off, so the prince asked Zhu Yuanzhang to let Yao go with him. For more than ten years, Yao often went to Yan as the abbot of Qingshou Temple. His whereabouts are very secret. When talking with Judy, he often lets others avoid him. After Wen Jian succeeded to the throne, Judy wanted to fight, but he was afraid that the people would not take refuge in him. Yao said to him, "I only know that heaven is like this. Why should I care about people's hearts? " It was with Yao He's full support that he made up his mind and prepared to arise.

Later, Judy secretly selected distribution schools, assembled troops and recruited soldiers. Yao was training soldiers and horses in Yan's back garden. Yan Palace was a palace before the Yuan Dynasty, and it was already very deep. Yao also built a crypt surrounded by thick walls, made a military weapon, and raised geese and ducks to cover up the sound.

Everything is ready. 1399, Judy promised his troops. But at the swearing-in meeting, a storm suddenly struck and the tiles on the roof fell to the ground. Judy was shocked and thought it was not a good sign. However, Yao thinks this is just a good omen. He interprets it this way: "The flying dragon is in the sky, and the wind and rain go hand in hand. When the tiles fall, it means turning yellow and the country changes hands. " These words not only calmed Judy, but also boosted the morale of the army.

Although Yao is the number one counselor around him, he did not go out with the army, but sat in the rear. During this period, on the one hand, he assisted the prince and defeated the enemy who entered the DPRK; On the other hand, he is still far away, strategizing, advising Judy and directing the advance and retreat of the Yan army.

At first, the war went smoothly and Judy was in full swing until the siege of Jinan was frustrated. Not only did he fail to conquer it for three months, but Judy herself was cheated by the other side and almost captured. Hearing the battle report, Yao immediately wrote: "Our army is tired, please come back!" Therefore, Judy withdrew his troops and returned. After the break, the army went out again, but it still got off to a bad start, especially in the battle of Dongchang, where Yan Jun suffered heavy losses and Judy was on the verge of danger many times. After the defeat, he wanted to let the soldiers and horses have a good rest, but Yao strongly supported him to attack again, and suggested that he go forward with a light ride, regardless of one city and one city, and take Nanjing. The final victory proved that Yao's decision was indeed wise.

Looking back at the battle of Jingnan, many people will sigh that Judy's comeback against the wind with the strength of the vassal king is really rare in history. It is the monk Yao, who is firmly in the position of a university student, who makes this chess game active again.
