At this time, Zhu Anshi was also suffering greatly in his heart, only to see him pacing back and forth in the hall, he wanted to measure whether this move could be successful, whether he could escape the investigation of the government, if he could dodge, then what should he do in the future?

Seeing that Zhu Anshi was still hesitant and couldn't make up his mind, Zhu Lilun stepped forward and said: "Big brother, it will be July and a half in half a month, and we have held activities to worship the gods in previous years, or we will take advantage of the sacrifice to the gods and agree to do things at that time, how about it?" ”

Guan Jian also felt that Zhu Lilun's proposal was good, and hurriedly said: "Master, Lilun is reasonable, there must be a lot of people coming to worship the gods on the night of the seventh and a half months, or choose to choose that time, so that the senior brother will be in Changlingyi, and the second senior brother will also do something at the same time when worshipping the gods in Anlingyi." ”

Seeing that everyone had made up their minds, Zhu Anshi finally spoke, only to see him say: "Since everyone has suggested that something should be done to rob the granary of the big family, then we have to plan in detail, Wanfang, you go to your territory Changlingyi organization, you are more old-fashioned, so send Yingxian to assist you, Yingxian is brave and can help you." ”

Wan Fang and Wu Yingxian heard Master's arrangement, and hurriedly responded, "Yes, Master." ”

Zhu Anshi continued: "Tu Da, you are also doing things in your territory Anlingyi, you are brave enough, but sometimes you lack a little strategy, Guan Jian, you will go over to help your second senior brother and give him more advice." ”

Tu Da and Guan Jian were also busy agreeing to Master's arrangement.

Now there is only Yanglingyi left, needless to say, looking at Zhu Anshi's arrangement, he must hand over Yanglingyi's move to himself, he continued: "Yanglingyi will be presided over by myself, Lilun, you help me arrange some details; We have to step on the points in advance, find out the road conditions and the number of guards at each point, and then plan from which side to rush in, which side to come out, which people command, and how to divide the labor below, you all have to plan clearly, it is estimated that many refugees will come to worship the gods on the night of July and a half, and how to manage this group of refugees at that time must also be considered. ”

In this way, we discussed for a full day, and finally everyone decided to hold events at the same time in Yangneung-eup, Anneung-eup, and Changneung-eup on the day of July and a half, and the time was in the evening, and everyone who participated in the event should tie a yellow summoning talisman on their left hand, and divide it into several groups, and hang a gourd around the waist of the leader, the bigger the gourd, the higher the level.

After rushing into the granary, the first thing is to put food to the refugees, so that the refugees will disperse after getting the food, and after the disciples get enough food, they will first find a safe place to gather, and then everyone will meet together and flee to Qishan.

Everything is planned, just waiting for the move.

The seventh and a half months were originally the folk ancestor worship festival in ancient times, and it was called the "Zhongyuan Festival", which originated from the Taoist saying after the Eastern Han Dynasty. Taoism has the "Three Yuan Theory", "the heavenly official Shangyuan blesses, the local official Zhongyuan forgives sins, and the water official Xia Yuan relieves misfortune, and the name of "Zhongyuan" comes from this, and Buddhism calls the seventh half as the "Obon Festival". But no matter how it changes, there is a habit of worshipping ancestors on this day. The festival is related to the principle of the cycle of yin and yang in ancient culture, and in the Book of Changes, "seven" is a changing number, the number of resurrection. July is the auspicious month, filial piety month, July and a half is the folk early autumn celebration of the harvest, reward the earth of the festival, there are a number of crops mature, the folk according to the routine to worship the ancestors, with new rice and other sacrifices, to the ancestors to report the autumn harvest. The festival is a kind of cultural traditional festival to remember the ancestors, and its cultural core is to respect the ancestors and fulfill filial piety.

Zhu Anshi and all the disciples will hold a sacrifice to the gods in the seventh and a half of each year, not only to worship the ancestors, but also to sacrifice the souls, they believe that the day of the seventh half of the month is the alternating season of hot and cold, and it is also the day when the hell opens, the underground palace will open the gate of hell, and the ghosts will leave the underworld and accept the examination, and the ghosts with the lord will go home, and the ones without the lord will wander the world, wandering around looking for something to eat, so it is also called the ghost festival, and the activities of sacrificing ghosts are to be carried out, and they are called sacrificing to the gods, and they are called the way home for the dead souls. Presumably, after arriving in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it developed into a large-scale Zhongyuan Festival, which is the credit of Zhu Anshi and their faction.

In the past, when the harvest was harvested, the fields were full of straw, and the remaining straw could be burned again, and the ashes of the burned grass turned into fertilizer for the next farming, year after year. With the joy of a bumper harvest, the peasants used the newly harvested grain to pay tribute to their ancestors and deceased in the fields and comfort their souls in heaven.

However, this year's drought has caused the fields to dry up and cracked loess, and all the crops have died and there is no harvest, so the people who come to worship the gods are all sad and sad, and more of them are mournful to mourn those relatives who have nothing to eat and starved to death.

The festival is held in a mournful atmosphere, and since more and more refugees are gathering during this time, many people come to participate in this year's festival, most of them refugees, and it is estimated that they think that there is food to be distributed.

The ceremony lasted until almost the end of the day, when the refugees had no intention of dispersing, and were waiting for Zhu Anshi and them to send food. Tonight, however, there was no sign of food distribution.

After the end of the sacrifice to the gods, Zhu Anshi, the hero of Yangling, climbed the high platform and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, the heavens are not beautiful, this year's drought has not rained for four months now, you all see, this field is all dry soil, how can there be a harvest, knowing that everyone is fleeing from the famine, everyone is hungry, to be honest, we are also hungry, the party has been sent, what should we do?" ”

Speaking of which, the refugees below began to commotion, saying that if there was no food pie, it would be better to go home and sleep.

Zhu Anshi continued: "Folks, if you want food, don't leave first, we will take you to get food in batches later." ”

At this time, someone below said loudly: "Yangling Hero, where are we going to get food?" ”

Zhu Anshi smiled slightly, and said solemnly: "Natural disasters have caused us to have no harvest and starve all over the wilderness, but I heard that in the granaries of those big families, there is so much grain that even hamsters are raised as big as cats, but they are so stingy that they don't take out a grain of grain to help us, you say that this is unfair." ”

"Unfair ......."

At this time, the emotions of the refugees were stirred up and they all expressed unfairness.

Zhu Anshi hurriedly motioned for everyone to be quiet, and continued to say loudly: "If you want to get food, come with us later, and ask those big families for it, okay." ”

"Good ......"

As soon as I heard that there was food to take, there was a lot of excitement below.

Zhu Lilun also stood on the high platform and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, if you want to, you will go with us, but the elderly, women and children must stay, and the young and middle-aged will go with us; We have checked it, there are a total of eight granaries in the city, and then we will divide into eight teams of people, and our people will take you there, remember, the people who go must tie a yellow summoning talisman to their left arm, as soon as our people enter the granary and fight with the people guarding the granary, you will take advantage of the chaos to go in, carry the grain and run, everyone only recognizes that the person who tied the summoning talisman is their own people, and what they don't have is the enemy, remember? ”

In this way, Zhu Lilun gathered all the young adults who were willing to participate and divided them into eight groups, with a total of more than 1,000 people, each group was led by a disciple of the Hugong faction, and the leader had a gourd hanging around his waist, and the level was distinguished by the size of the gourd; One by one, they copied the guys and rushed to the eight granaries.

At the same time, in Changlingyi and Anlingyi, Zhu Anshi's disciples also rioted with refugees and rushed into the granary to grab grain.

Before, Zhu Anshi and the others planned to only rob the granaries of large families, not the granaries of the government. However, the situation has turned very bad, and there are so many refugees that they will rob the granary when they see it, regardless of whether it is the granary of the government or not.

The situation was out of control that the disciples of the Hugong Sect had not thought of in advance, so they did not come up with a better way to control the situation, so they could only let it develop. What Zhu Anshi can do now is to quickly gather a group of disciples, and after everyone has gathered, he will quickly flee in the direction of Qishan.

Because he was afraid of the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, Zhu Anshi first ordered people to inform Wan Fang and Wu Yingxian of Changlingyi and Tu Da and Guan Jian of Anlingyi, telling them to retreat first and meet again at the agreed place in Qishan.

Zhu Anshi and Zhu Lilun led the disciples of Yanglingyi all the way to the west, straight to Qishan, when the team passed through Changling and Anling, they saw that there were grains scattered all over the land that had been snatched back and failed to take away, but they couldn't care so much, so they could only run all the way and run to Maolingyi in one go.

The stronghold of Maolingyi has just been opened, the foundation is not very deep, and there are not many disciples to develop, Zhu Anshi is afraid of long nights and dreams, so he set off again immediately after a little rest, or go west.
