Chapter 267 Joining Wagang Village

Now that we have made up our minds to change all this, we must take action.

Of course, it is natural to plan well before taking action.If you do it blindly without planning, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

First of all, the first question they face is whether to start their own business or choose to join other forces.

To start a business by yourself is to be your own boss and pull up a team to rebel against the Sui Dynasty.

The advantage of doing this is that you can say everything you want and hold the greatest right to speak.No one can hold back.

But the shortcomings are also obvious.This is because, in today's era, one must have a certain reputation before anyone can follow.

A famous person can be followed even if he has nothing.

For example, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling started their own businesses in the original plot.It was only because the two of them gained a lot of fame in the arena that they were able to rise quickly.

However, now Zhao Mingyuan has no reputation in the world.

Of course, wanting fame is not easy.

With Zhao Mingyuan's martial arts skills, killing a few masters at will will still make him famous.

However, this naturally takes time to accumulate reputation.Afterwards, recruiting manpower, training the army, and recruiting talents are all indispensable, and all of them will take a long time.

But now, there are only a little more than two years left before Yang Guang's death, and even less than a year since the Li Clan's uprising.

Time is very tight, there is not enough time for them to slowly farm and develop.

Another way is to join a faction.

Compared with self-employment, joining a large company naturally looks more glamorous in the early stage.Moreover, in a troubled world, capable people may be promoted to executives after a few battles, which looks good.

As for the forces that can be chosen to join, there are many.

Of course, this is divided into several aspects.

For example, the Li family, especially Li Shimin's side.

Originally, Li Shimin was able to unify the world.If they join them, the strength of Li Shimin's side will be strengthened, and it may be possible to unify the world faster.

This is also a good choice.After all, Li Shimin is indeed a wise king who ranks first in history.

Of course, there is another direction, and that is to join the rebel army.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, peasant uprisings from all walks of life were known as the Eighteenth Routes against the king. There were three most powerful ones, the first was Zhai Rang in Wagangzhai, the second was Dou Jiande in Hebei, and the third was Du Fuwei in Jianghuai.

Of course, this is the way to seize power internally.

For example, Jianghuai Du Fuwei is almost entirely supported by him alone.Even if there are talents like Li Jing under his command, they can't be reused and can't get ahead.Military discipline is also in a mess, it's just a refugee organization.

If Zhao Mingyuan joins the Jianghuai Army, after gaining a firm foothold, he only needs to secretly get rid of Du Fuwei, and he will soon be in charge of the Jianghuai Army.Then use this as a family property to develop and grow, which is also a good choice.

However, in the end, Zhao Mingyuan neither chose to join Li Shimin's name, nor did he choose to join Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army. Of course, he did not plan to start his own business, but chose to join Wagangzhai.

Wagangzhai has millions of people, and it is the most powerful rebel army today, and it has also attracted many heroes to join. Even Li Mi joined Wagangzhai not long ago.

Although the situation in Wagangzhai is the most complicated, it is also the most difficult to seize power. After all, Li Mi is already a strong enemy, but the benefits will be the greatest.

After all, the talents in Wagangzhai alone are enough to form a system of their own, which is far from comparable to Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army.

Besides, that's millions of people.

If Zhao Mingyuan didn't care about it, they would end up in Li Mi's hands.

This not only created a powerful enemy for themselves, but watched these poor people eventually decline because of the struggle for power at the top.Isn't it very sad?

Besides, what Zhao Mingyuan originally wanted to do was to save the people, not to seize the world.If you don't save the millions of poor people in front of you, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?

Therefore, in the end Zhao Mingyuan decided to join Wagang Village.

Perhaps this may not be the best choice, and it may even be more beneficial to pull up a team by himself, but Zhao Mingyuan can't just ignore this peasant army and let them be buried in Li Mi's hands.

Zhao Mingyuan thought to himself, it's better to hold this power in his own hands and direct it to the right path.

Naturally, the three of them would not object to Zhao Mingyuan's decision.This place is not far from the sphere of influence of Wagangzhai, and everyone hurried towards Wagangzhai.

Soon, they entered the sphere of influence of Wagangzhai.After showing that he came to Wagang Village for his purpose, he was soon sent to Zhai Rang's location.

After all, as the Wagang Village has survived the official siege, there is an endless stream of people from all walks of life who go to defect to join.

Not long ago, even the well-known Li Mi joined the Wagang village, which made the Wagang village even more popular.

Therefore, the defection of Zhao Mingyuan and his party did not attract anyone's attention.

However, they did not expect that they would be sent to see Zhai Rang directly after they entered Wagang Village.

This is somewhat unexpected.

Is Zhai Rang such a thirsty person?

Would he treat such an unknown person like Zhao Mingyuan like this?
Zhao Mingyuan thought they would have to wait for a while before seeing Zhai Rang, or even never see Zhai Rang at all.

But Zhao Mingyuan didn't know that it was because the receptionist saw that Zhao Mingyuan and his party were very popular, which naturally made people not to be underestimated, so they quickly reported it to the leader Zhai Rang.

Hearing the description of his subordinates, Zhai Rang thought that Zhao Mingyuan and the others were from a wealthy family, so they took it seriously and wanted to meet him immediately.

It turns out that although there are absolutely many people who go to Wagang Village, they are a mixed bag. Most of them are just low-level martial arts people and poor scholars.

In their view, Wagang Village is just a group of mud-legged uprisings, they are just advancing for the king, and nothing will happen.

Regardless of the fact that Wagangzhai looks impressive now, it is doomed to fail.

Therefore, there are not many people from high-ranking families who are willing to join Wagang Village.

In fact, they judged well, but Wagang Village was finally defeated.

This is why Li Mi was entrusted with important tasks shortly after he joined Wagang Village.

This is of course because Li Mi has a good reputation. He was the chief counselor under Yang Xuangan when he rebelled, and we are all the same.

But it is even more because Li Mi was born in a noble family with a prominent family background, known as the fourth generation and the third father.

Although Li Mi's generation has declined, after all, he is the first high-ranking child who is optimistic about Wagangzhai. This is naturally reused by Zhai Rang, hoping to use this as an example to attract more talents.

Therefore, when Zhai Rang heard that a young man with extraordinary bearing was coming and wanted to join Wagang Village, he immediately wanted to meet him.

It's a pity that Zhao Mingyuan looks too young to be famous.

And Zhao Mingyuan looked very gorgeous wearing accessories, and even came out with a book boy and a maid, which naturally made these people from poor families in the hall very uncomfortable.

This made Zhai Rang a little disappointed. Zhao Mingyuan seemed to be just a young man who didn't know much about the world. He might have come here on a whim.

In fact, Zhao Mingyuan killed Shi Long, which is considered a good record.It's a pity that Guan He, Shilong's disciple, didn't tell the world about this matter at all.

And Shi Long often retreats for a long time, as long as Guan He keeps quiet, no one will notice anything wrong.No one knew that Shi Long had been killed by Zhao Mingyuan.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan is not yet well-known in the Jianghu.

Now, looking at Zhao Mingyuan's business, he seems to be acting like a dude from a wealthy family, which naturally made everyone present not have a good impression of them, those with vested interests.

Therefore, Zhai Rang asked bluntly: "I don't know what are the strengths of Mr. Zhao. Why have you never heard of Mr. Zhao's reputation, whether in the world or in the court?"

Many heroes of the rivers and lakes in Wagang Village looked at Zhao Mingyuan in the hall, and naturally they didn't think he had any abilities.

After hearing this, Zhao Mingyuan said with a smile: "It turns out that the big leader has already destroyed Sui and Yang and unified the world. Now that there are so many talents under his command, naturally there is no need for an unknown person like Zhao."

What Zhao Mingyuan said made everyone in the hall turn red.

Zhai Rang knew that he was being rude.That's right, someone has defected to you, and you still pick and choose and look down on him.In the current Wagang Town, where is it possible to pick and choose?
Although there are millions of people in Wagang Village today, which sounds nice, most of them are people who can't survive with their families, and more than half of them are women, children, old and young.

It sounds like there are still hundreds of thousands of troops, which is not too small.But the combat power is hard to say. Before the war, the Sui army had been beaten and fled everywhere.

Of course, the bigger problem is to feed these millions of people. The first problem is that there is not enough food.

Originally, everyone wanted to rebel because they didn't have enough to eat, but now they still don't have enough to eat.Although the Sui army was finally defeated, there were still many internal problems.

At this time, Wagang Village has not yet reached its peak, and it is not that Zhai Rang can't listen to other people's words.

Seeing this, Zhai Rang apologized to Zhao Mingyuan, and then treated each other with courtesy and even hosted a banquet.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhai Rang described the current situation of Wagang Village, and asked Zhao Mingyuan, "Why did you teach me, sir?"

Zhao Mingyuan did not refuse, and said: "Although Wagang Village is facing many crises, the biggest problem facing us is food.

As long as this problem is solved, everything else can be easily solved.

And to get enough food, the best way is to attack Luokou Cang.

As long as the grain in the Luokou warehouse is obtained, Wagang Village has already fallen into an invincible position.

With these grains, the soldiers can naturally be trained to be strong and strong, and then they can take Luoyang to the west and win the imperial capital.

With one move, the Central Plains can be determined. With this power, it is natural to vote from all directions, and the world belongs to me.

At that time, I am afraid that the unification of the world is just around the corner. "

Everyone in the hall listened to Zhao Mingyuan's description, their blood boiled with enthusiasm, and their minds were full of imagination.

But Zhai Rang looked at Zhao Mingyuan in front of him, but couldn't help remembering that someone said something similar to him not long ago.

That person is Li Mi.
