Now that you have decided to change all this, it is natural to do something.

Of course, it is natural to plan before you act. If you do it blindly without a plan, you will naturally get half the result.

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

To start your own business is to be your own boss and pull up a team to fight against Sui.

The advantage of this is that you can speak your word and have the greatest right to speak. Nothing can hold anyone back.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. This is because, in this day and age, you must have a certain reputation before someone will follow.

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

For example, in the original plot, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling started a business. It's only because the two of them have made a lot of fame in the rivers and lakes that they will soon be able to rise.

However, now Zhao Mingyuan has no reputation in the rivers and lakes.

Of course, it's easy to be famous.

With Zhao Mingyuan's martial arts, kill a few masters at will, and the reputation will not roll in.

It's just that it naturally takes time to build up fame. After that, the gathering of manpower, the training of the army, and the recruitment of talents are all indispensable, and it will take a long time.

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

Time was of the essence, and there was simply not enough time for them to farm slowly.

Another option is to join a faction.

Compared with starting your own business, joining a large company naturally looks more glamorous in the early stage. Moreover, in troubled times, a person with the ability may be promoted to an executive in a few battles, which also looks good.

As for the forces to choose from, that's a lot.

Of course, this is divided into several aspects.

For example, Li Valve, especially Li Shimin's side.

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

It's also a good option. After all, Li Shimin is indeed the number one Ming monarch in history.

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

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the peasant uprisings of all walks of life were known as the eighteenth road anti-king, and there were three of the most powerful, the first was Zhai Rang of Wagangzhai, the second was Dou Jiande of Hebei, and the third was Du Fuwei of Jianghuai.

Of course, in this regard, it is to take the path of internal seizure of power.

For example, Jianghuai Du Fuwei is almost completely supported by him alone. Even if he has a talent like Li Jing under his command, he can't be reused and can't get ahead. Military discipline is also in chaos, and it can be regarded as an organization of displaced people.

If Zhao Mingyuan joins the Jianghuai Army, after gaining a firm foothold, as long as he secretly gets rid of Du Fuwei, then he will soon be able to take charge of the Jianghuai Army. And then use this as a family background to develop and grow, which can be regarded as a good choice.

However, in the end, Zhao Mingyuan did not choose to join Li Shimin's name, nor did he choose to join Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army, and of course he was not ready to start his own business, but chose to join Wagangzhai.

Wagangzhai gathers millions of people, and it is the strongest rebel army today, and it has also attracted many heroes to join, and even Li Mi has just joined Wagangzhai.

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

After all, the talents in Wagangzhai alone are enough to form a system of their own, and they are far from being comparable to Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army.

Besides, that's millions of people.

If Zhao Mingyuan didn't care about it, he saw that they would finally fall into Li Mi's hands.

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

Moreover, 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, wouldn't you put the cart before the horse?

Therefore, in the end, Zhao Mingyuan decided to join Wagangzhai.

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

Zhao Mingyuan thought to himself, it is better to take this power into his own hands and guide it to the right path.

Regarding Zhao Mingyuan's decision, the three of them naturally would not object. This place is not far from the sphere of influence of Wagangzhai, and everyone hurriedly goes towards Wagangzhai.

Soon, they entered the sphere of influence of Wagangzhai. After indicating that he came to Wagangzhai for the purpose of defecting, he was soon sent to the vicinity of Zhai Rang.

After all, as Wagangzhai has survived the official encirclement and suppression, there is an endless stream of people from all walks of life who have gone to join it.

Not long ago, even the famous Li Mi joined Wagangzhai, which made Wagangzhai even more popular.

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

However, they didn't expect them to enter Wagangzhai and were directly sent to see Zhai Rang.

This was somewhat unexpected.

Could it be that Zhai Rang is such a thirsty person?

Would you treat such an unknown person like Zhao Mingyuan?

Zhao Mingyuan thought that they would have to wait for a while to see Zhai Rang, or even not see Zhai Rang at all.

Zhao Mingyuan didn't know that this was because the person who received him saw that Zhao Mingyuan and his party were extraordinary, which was naturally not to be underestimated, so they quickly reported it to Zhai Rang, the big dragon.

Hearing the description of his subordinates, Zhai Rang thought that Zhao Mingyuan was from a big family, so he paid attention to it and wanted to meet him immediately.

It turns out that although there are definitely a lot of people who defect to Wagangzhai, they are mixed, most of them are just some low-level martial arts people and poor scholars, and no one is optimistic about Wagangzhai at all.

In their opinion, Wagangzhai is just a group of mud-legged uprisings, just a precursor to the king, and it can't be done.

Don't look at Wagangzhai now looking extraordinary, it is destined to be defeated.

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

In fact, they judged well, but Wagangzhai was defeated in the end.

This is also the reason why Li Mi was entrusted with important responsibilities soon after joining Wagangzhai.

Of course, Li Mi's reputation is not small, he was the chief strategist under Yang Xuangan when he rebelled, and everyone was all the way.

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

Although Li Mi's generation has declined now, after all, he is the first disciple of the Gaomen who is optimistic about Wagangzhai, which is naturally reused by Zhai Rang, hoping to use this as an example to attract more talents.

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

It's a pity that Zhao Mingyuan looks too young and has no fame.

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

This made Zhai Rang a little disappointed, Zhao Mingyuan seemed to be just a son who didn't know anything about the world, and he might just come here on a whim.

In fact, Zhao Mingyuan killed Shi Long, which can be regarded as a good record. It's a pity that Shi Long's disciple Guan He didn't spread this matter to the rivers and lakes at all.

And Shi Long often retreated for a long time, as long as Guan He was silent, no one even noticed that something was wrong. No one knew that Shi Long had been killed by Zhao Mingyuan.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan is not a little famous in the rivers and lakes now.

Now, looking at Zhao Mingyuan's line, it seems that the style of a high-ranking lord is a gentleman, which naturally makes everyone present have no good impression of them with vested interests.

So, Zhai Rang asked unceremoniously: "I don't know what strengths Zhao Gongzi has, why I have never heard of Zhao Gongzi's reputation, whether it is in the rivers and lakes or in the court." ”

Many heroes of Wagangzhai in the hall looked at Zhao Mingyuan, and naturally didn't think he had any ability.

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

Zhao Mingyuan's words made everyone in the hall blush.

Zhai Rang knew that he was rude. That's right, people have defected to you, and you still pick and choose to look down on others. Now Wagang Town, where is it to the point where you can pick and choose?

Although today's Wagangzhai has millions of people, which sounds good, most of them are people who can't survive with their families, and more than half of them are women, children, and children.

It sounds like there are hundreds of thousands of troops, which is not a small number. But it's hard to say about the combat power, and the Sui army has been beaten and fled everywhere in the previous battles.

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

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

At this time, Wagangzhai has not yet reached its peak, and Zhai Rang is not unable to listen to others.

Seeing this, Zhai Rang apologized to Zhao Mingyuan, and then treated him with courtesy, and even held a banquet to entertain him.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhai Rang recounted the current situation of Wagangzhai and asked Zhao Mingyuan: "Why did Mr. teach me?" ”

Zhao Mingyuan did not shirk, and said: "Although Wagangzhai is in crisis now, the biggest problem in front of us is food.

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

And the best way to get enough food is to attack Luokoucang.

As long as the grain in Luokou warehouse is obtained, Wagangzhai has 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 west and seize the imperial capital.

This move can determine the Central Plains, with this majesty, it is natural that the Quartet will vote, and the world is in me.

At that time, I am afraid that the unification of the world will be just around the corner. ”

Everyone in the hall listened to Zhao Mingyuan's description, and their hearts were full of enthusiasm, and their hearts were full of thoughts.

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

That person was none other than Li Mi.
