Chapter 561: The Statue of the Dragon, the posture of the competition
In the eighth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang conquered Liaodong for the first time. At that time, the excavation of the Grand Canal had just been completed, and five or six out of ten people died due to the construction of the canal, and it can be said that millions of people died in order to dig the Grand Canal.
Yang Guang's pursuit of the construction period led to the officials below desperately squeezing the people. It can be said that the entire Grand Canal was built on the bones of hundreds of people.
A large number of people were afraid and fled into the mountains and forests, and a large number of people in Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other places rebelled, but the vast majority of them were quickly exterminated by the Sui Dynasty, and there were not many who really existed and grown, and Wagangzhai was one of them.
After Wang Xuanze settled those defeated soldiers and people, he took the two of them south to the Central Plains, Wagangzhai is located near Anyang, Henan, the area of the Song Kingdom.
After the rebel army occupied Wagangzhai, it did not expand blindly, even if it was defeated by Zhang Xutuo, it was able to hold the cottage and accumulate strength.
Regarding the actions of the rebel army, Wang Xuanze knows very well that after the uprising, most of these people will degenerate rapidly and plunder the people, and there are very few rebels who can really not rob the people. And Wagangzhai is like this.
It was precisely because of this kind of behavior in Wagangzhai that Wang Xuanze came to check.
When Wang Xuanze came to the vicinity of Wagangzhai, it had been nine years of great cause, and at this time, Wagangzhai had just gained some sound and defeated the county soldiers who came to encircle and suppress.
At this time, Zhai Rang was also relieved, but he was still confused about how to go in the future.
As an ordinary person, Zhai Rang has only been a small official and does not have too broad strategic vision, but he is righteous, broad-minded, and courageous, so he is supported by everyone.
At this time, tens of thousands of people had gathered in Wagangzhai, and on the surface it seemed that Wagangzhai was very prosperous, but Zhai Rang knew very well that there was not much food in the cottage. Zhai Rang didn't want to rob the people, if he did it, what was the difference between it and the Sui Dynasty?
But he has not yet found another way to survive, and his heart is a little bitter.
The night was dark, the stars in the sky were hidden in the dark clouds, and most of the brothers in the camp were resting, except for a few who were still on guard.
Wang Xuanze quietly walked into the camp.
At this time, the camp was brightly lit, and Zhai Rang was discussing with several generals how to take the next step.
But at this moment, the whole camp suddenly fell silent for some reason, and even the sound of insects and snoring of soldiers disappeared.
Just when everyone was surprised, the big tent was suddenly lifted, and then a man with a handsome face, a strong body, and a strong aura walked in.
Although it was only one person, everyone felt a pressure when they stood in the big tent.
Wang Xuanze was on the bank of the Liaoshui River, with 300 Lin Wei as the forward, directly chiseling through the Liaodong National Army formation, which can be said to be completely out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, which can be described as murderous.
Seeing that someone suddenly broke in, Zhai Ranggang wanted to call the guards, but found that several more people followed into the big tent. These people are also handsome and extraordinary, and all of them are physically strong.
But the most attractive thing is not these, but the shining Xuanniao Holy Pattern at the center of their eyebrows.
"Xuanniao Holy Pattern!"
"Emperor Qian's Clan!"
"Wang's lineage!"
Zhai Rang and the others in the big tent immediately recognized the identity of the intruder, and they were all shocked and inexplicable.
You must know that they are just a rebel army of 10,000 people, and the largest of the other rebel armies in the world has exceeded 100,000 people, which is not at all comparable to their small cottage, but now he actually sees the descendants of King Hao Tianwen.
Zhai Rang looked at the Wang family's descendants in shock, and hurriedly asked people to arrange seats for the Wang family. Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiyun next to him saw the Wang family, and their eyes were full of eagerness.
After a few people sat down, he said, "The prince is here today, but what do you have to say?" If needed, let me help. ”
Wang Xuanze looked at a few people around him, and then said with a smile: "I came to the general's camp today to meet the general. ”
"See me?" Zhai Rang was a little puzzled.
Wang Xuanze smiled slightly: "I came to see the general today because I wanted to meet the heroes who dared to revolt against Emperor Sui. ”
Zhai Rang smiled bitterly and said: "The prince praised me falsely, what kind of hero am I, but I am just a member of the world who wants to live." ”
"The people of the world want to live, but there are not many people who dare to take the lead in raising righteousness, and the vast majority of them will soon aim their knives at other people after raising righteousness, wanton looting, the general can gather 10,000 people, defeat the county soldiers, but there is no slightest looting of the people, it is a real righteous army, the general is broad-minded, benevolent and righteous, there is a dragon statue, and the posture of fighting for the top is also." Wang Xuanze said with a smile.
"Let the people who are trying to survive, have endured hardships, and have seen the suffering of building canals, if they go to rob those people again, let them be vain!" Zhai Rang sighed and said, he was a small official, he knew the suffering of the people, and he was unwilling to cooperate with Shangguan's forced requisition back then, so he offended Shangguan and sat guilty.
"The prince is here today, we are worried about the road ahead, and I ask the prince to accept us, although we are grass people, but we also have some courage, and we are willing to serve the prince for the work of dogs and horses." Zhai Rang said directly to Wang Xuanze.
I have to say that the 400-year-old shadow of Daqian has made the Wang family still have a high reputation among the people.
"Don't be like this, the general should not be like this, my Wang clan was born this time to reform the Sui Mandate, not to fight for the crown." Wang Xuanze shook his head and said, "But I have something to tell you about the general's current predicament. ”
"Prince, please speak." Hearing what Wang Xuanze said, Zhai Rang hurriedly got up and saluted Wang Xuanze.
"The general doesn't have to be polite." Wang Xuanze hurriedly helped him up, and then said: "Wagangzhai is a steep mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Surrounded by the land of the Liang and Song dynasties, there is a canal passing through it, and the general can set up a card here in the canal to draw food and wages. ”
"On the canal, there are many merchants, Wagangzhai can naturally grow rapidly, when the general can lead the army to attack Xingyang, there is a Luokou warehouse near Xingyang, there is countless grain in it, and the general can completely open the warehouse to put grain to collect the displaced people."
"At that time, the general can enter the world, and retreat can also stick to the cottage, and when the situation in the world is clear, he can choose to serve as a master."
After hearing this, everyone in the military tent nodded their heads one after another, and they were very moved, thinking that this plan was very good, as long as they developed step by step, they could at least mix some credit.
After Wang Xuanze finished speaking, he looked at the other people in the big tent, two of them were majestic, their eyes were sharp, and they were generals at a glance, these two people were Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shixian.
Wang Xuanze said a few words about the two of them, and was very satisfied with the answers of the two, and said with a smile: "These two people have the material of generals, if the general can be reused, Wagangzhai will not have to worry about it!" ”
