"Heroic generals in Wagang Village killed corrupt officials, cut off imperial robberies, opened official warehouses, released charity grain, and the people were happy..." This is a song that has been circulated in the Dongjun area of ​​Henan Province in the past two years. It has spread more and more widely. There are many strong men and refugees climbed Wagang Mountain and joined Zhai Rang's rebel army.

Zhai Rang's martial arts skills were good. He first joined the local yamen in the Sui Dynasty, and then became a minor official. He knew many friends in Green Forest and were generous and loyal, so he was quite famous in Weicheng, Dongjun. However, because he offended his boss for being injustice, he was sentenced to a prison and sentenced to a serious crime. Huang Junhan, the prisoner who supervised the dungeon, secretly released Zhai Rang, because he admired his talent and loyalty, and then left Weicheng together and became a bandit.

Soon, Zhai Rang, his brother Zhai Hong, nephew Zhai Mohou, close friend Wang Ruxin and others recruited soldiers and horses in Wagang Village near Dongjun, and raised the flag of rebellion, which attracted many brave men to join. Among them, Jia Xiong, a wealthy businessman from Jia Family Building, was well-read in poetry and books, and Jia Runpu and some tribesmen joined, bringing a lot of supplies and treasures to strengthen the team.

Within half a year, Zhai Rang's friend Shan Xiongxin summoned hundreds of young heroes and young men in his hometown to help, which made Wagang's reputation even more shocking.

On this day, Juyi Hall in Wagang Village was very lively. Some of the leaders of the fake village gathered to eat meat and drink from big bowls, and discussed the next major events in Wagang Village.

Zhai Rang was 35 or 36 years old, with a national face, short beard, thick eyebrows, square mouth and big ears, and a good temperament. He is currently the leader of Wagang Village. He looked around for a week and said, "Brothers, we are not outsiders here, and we don't speak out from here. Now the Sui court is incompetent, Yang Guang is extremely extravagant, he is very eager to do his military and military power, and he is willing to sacrifice the people's strength, which has caused a lot of controversy in the world. The court has no time to look around. Whoever shows up quickly and whose team grows will have the capital to stand in troubled times."

"The terrain of Wagang Village is dangerous. Between the mountains and ridges, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is considered a treasure land. However, with the increasing number of heroes coming to join the country, and the number of heroes and heroes has increased. In addition, the lack of food, family members, etc. in Wagang Village, food and daily supplies, we cannot be self-sufficient in the mountains. We must be separated from each other and maintain a life in the village. It is not enough to have gold, silver and treasures. We do not have enough food, wine, meat, cloth, etc., and we cannot spend money on the mountain. We have to buy foreign goods, which is far away from the mountain city, which is not very convenient. Besides, tens of thousands of people spend a lot of money, and the savings on the mountain are not enough for a year."

Jia Runpu said: "The boss, I suggest that we should capture Weicheng in Dongjun as our own mountain town. In this way, the clan and Weicheng can rely on each other, control grain warehouses, weapons, cloth and other workshops, and continuously transport resources to the mountain. My clan can also open our own restaurants, pawn shops, etc. in the city, accept the righteous men who come to the scene and appease the people, which has many benefits."

"This idea is very good!" Jia Xiong, Wang Ruxin, Huang Junhan, Cai Xiaohe and others all agreed and agreed.

Only one person suddenly interrupted and retorted: "Although this method is good, it's just not bold enough and too conservative."

Everyone looked at him and saw that the person who spoke was Xu Shiji, a young hero in his twenties. He was a child of a wealthy family, but he was good at fighting and brave, had all his skills, was righteous and loyal, and had the courage to be brave. Seeing the imperial court, chaos broke out in various places, he ran away from home and took the initiative to join Wagang Mountain, becoming a young general on the mountain.

"Shiji, what good way do you have?" Zhai Rang asked him.

Xu Shiji stood up and said calmly in front of everyone: "The boss, this is what I think. The neighborhood is where we are. The villagers and many old neighbors and young residents are really not suitable for invasion. If we rob their shops and divide their property, we may not be able to gain a foothold here in the future. This people should be protected by us. Therefore, Shiji believes that for the sake of the present, we should focus on the two prefectures of Song and Zheng, which are close to the Yuhe River, and there are many merchants and travelers. It is very convenient to lead troops to rob the officials and private money. If we control the counties there, we can recruit more troops. In addition, from Bianzhou to Liyang, there is the Tongji Canal. After the canal is completed, Jiangdong will be transported to the Eastern Capital. If we can intercept it, it will be of great help to the Wagang Rebel Army."

Everyone was stunned, obviously not thinking so much, and so far-sighted, beyond their expectations.

"A clever plan!" Zhai Rang of course heard the feasibility of this plan and was overjoyed.

Shan Xiongxin also clapped his feet and said, "This plan has a profound meaning and insightful approach. I think it is feasible!"

"Yes, a good idea!" Bing Yuanzhen and others also agreed.

Zhai Rang nodded with a smile and said, "The world's achievements are brave and resourceful. They are the young brave generals of my Wagang Village. They are also resourceful and resourceful, and will be of great use in the future!"

"The boss is too rewarded." Xu Shiji bowed his fists and said modestly.

Zhai Rang looked at everyone and said, "I decided to divide the troops into two groups, and I personally led the troops, Jia Xiong and Xu Shiji followed, and went to Tongji Canal to rob the merchant and traveling ships, especially the official ships entering Beijing for tribute, to obtain Jufeng supplies; the other army, led by Shan Xiongxin and Zhai Mohou, captured Zhengcheng and Songcheng, as the first step for our Wagang Village to expand outward!"

"Okay, follow the command of the boss!" These people shouted loudly.

Jia Runfu said at this time: "Boss, I have another suggestion, don't you know whether to speak or not?"

"Runfu, you just said it's okay." Zhai Rang was not careful about the details and could easily listen to the suggestions.

Jia Runfu said: "The Great Master, Jia thinks that if we only base ourselves on a mountain village, occupy the mountain as king, and call the Great Master, the Second Master, the Helm Master, the Hall Master, etc., it is reasonable to say that once we go out, this title is too casual and difficult to command soldiers. It is better to set up generals according to the official positions in the army, so that we can also set up generals, Sima, join the army, etc., so that the level is obvious, the division of labor is clear, and it is clear at a glance, and it is also convenient for the identity of marching and fighting, and managing the three armies, which is legitimate..."

"It makes sense!" Everyone agreed in unison, because once the official position was determined, they were no ordinary people who became bandits and their nature was completely different.

Zhai Hong strongly praised it because he felt that he was Zhai Rang's elder brother. Once he was granted an official position, he would definitely be a general, which was much more powerful than the second leader and the helm leader.

Zhai Rang nodded. This proposal was good. It could sort out responsibilities and establish a preliminary system based on the size of talents, the order of going up the mountain, status, etc., which would be of great benefit to strengthening Wagang Village. He announced on the spot that he would look back and consider everyone's responsibilities and responsibilities, and after discussing with his advisers, it would be announced in two days.
