You Taizhong did not give up, he told his parents his thoughts, although his parents did not read the book, but they are people who know the great righteousness of the nation, let him rest assured to go on a rampage. Therefore, You Taizhong bid farewell to his parents and followed the Red Army to do things for the people along the way, and the local Red Army leader had no choice but to arrange him in the post of guard.
