Now that you have decided to change all this, you naturally have to take action.
Of course, you need to plan before taking action. If you do it blindly without any plan, you will get twice the result with twice the result.
First of all, the first problem they face is whether to start their own business or join other forces.
To start your own business is to be your own boss, and to pull together a team to fight against the Sui Dynasty.
The advantage of doing this is that you can speak for yourself and have the greatest say. No one can stop it.
But the shortcomings are also obvious. This is because, in today's era, you must have a certain reputation before anyone will follow you.
A famous person can still be followed by people even if he has nothing.
For example, this was the case when Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling started their own businesses in the original plot. It was only because the two of them had made quite a name for themselves in the world that they quickly rose to prominence.
However, Zhao Mingyuan now has no reputation in the world.
Of course, it's easy to get famous.
With Zhao Mingyuan's martial arts, he could kill a few masters at random, and his reputation wouldn't come rolling in.
However, it naturally takes time to accumulate a reputation. After that, recruiting people, training the army, and recruiting talents are all indispensable, and they all 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 until the Li clan's uprising.
Time is very tight, and there is simply not enough time for them to slowly farm and develop.
Another way is to join a force.
Compared with starting your own business, joining a large company will naturally look more glamorous in the early stage. Moreover, in troubled times, a capable person may be promoted to a senior executive after just a few battles, which looks good.
As for the forces you can choose to join, there are many.
Of course, this is divided into several aspects.
For example, the Li clan, especially Li Shimin's side.
Li Shimin could have unified the world. If you join them and increase the strength of Li Shimin's side, you may be able to unify the world faster.
This is also a good choice. After all, Li Shimin was indeed one of the most wise kings in history.
Of course, there is another direction, which is to join the rebel army.
The various peasant uprisings at the end of the Sui Dynasty were known as the Eighteenth Route against the King. There were three most powerful families. The first was Zhai Rang of Wagangzhai, the second was Dou Jiande of Hebei, and the third was Du Fuwei of 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 cannot be reused and cannot get ahead. Military discipline was also in disarray, and it was just a refugee organization.
If Zhao Mingyuan joins the Jianghuai Army, after he has established a foothold, he can secretly get rid of Du Fuwei, and he will soon be in charge of the Jianghuai Army. Then using it as a foundation to develop and grow is a good choice.
However, in the end, Zhao Mingyuan neither chose to join Li Shimin's name nor Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army. Of course, he was not preparing to start his own business, but chose to join Wagangzhai.
Wagang Village has gathered millions of people and is now the strongest rebel army. It has also attracted many heroes to join. Even Li Mi has just joined Wagang Village not long ago.
Although the situation in Wagang Village is the most complicated, and it is also the most difficult to seize power, after all, there is already a strong enemy like Li Mi, but the benefits will be the greatest.
After all, the talents in Wagang Village alone are enough to form a system of their own, which is far from comparable to Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army.
Besides, those are millions of people.
If Zhao Mingyuan just ignored them, they would eventually fall into Li Mi's hands.
Not only did this create a powerful enemy for themselves, but they also 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 we don't save the millions of poor people in front of us, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?
Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan finally decided to join Wagang Village.
Perhaps this may not be the best choice, and it may even be more advantageous to form a team by himself, but Zhao Mingyuan cannot just ignore this peasant army and let them die in the hands of Li Mi.
Zhao Mingyuan thought, it would be better to take this power into his own hands and guide it to the right path.
Naturally, the three of them would not object to Zhao Mingyuan's decision. This place was not far from Wagang Village's sphere of influence, and everyone hurriedly headed towards Wagang Village.
Soon, they entered the sphere of influence of Wagang Village. After stating that he came to seek refuge in Wagang Village, he was soon sent to the vicinity of Zhai Rang.
After all, as Wagang Village has survived official siege and suppression, people from all walks of life have come to join in an endless stream.
Not long ago, even the famous Li Mi joined Wagang Village, which made Wagang Village even more popular.
Therefore, no one noticed the defection of Zhao Mingyuan and his party.
However, they did not expect that when they entered Wagang Village, they were sent directly to see Zhai Rang.
This is somewhat unexpected.
Is Zhai Rang such a thirsty person for talents?
Would he treat an unknown person like Zhao Mingyuan with such courtesy?
Zhao Mingyuan thought 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 receptionist saw that Zhao Mingyuan and his group were extremely popular and should not be underestimated, so they quickly reported it to the big leader Zhai Rang.
After hearing the description from his subordinates, Zhai Rang thought that Zhao Mingyuan and the others were from a wealthy family, so he wanted to see them immediately as a sign of their importance.
It turns out that although there are definitely a lot of people who defect to Wagang Village, they are a mixed bag. Most of them are just low-level martial arts people and poor scholars. No one with a prominent family background is optimistic about Wagang Village.
In their opinion, Wagangzhai is just a group of mud-legged uprising, just a pioneer for the king, and it will not achieve anything.
Even though Wagang Village looks impressive now, it is destined to fail.
Therefore, there are not many people from wealthy families who are willing to join Wagang Village.
In fact, their judgment was good, and Wagang Village was ultimately defeated.
This is also the reason why Li Mi was entrusted with important tasks soon after joining Wagang Village.
This is certainly because Li Mi has a good reputation. He was the chief counselor under Yang Xuangan during the rebellion, and we are all in the same group.
But it was more because Li Mi was born into a noble family and had a prominent family background. He was known as the Four Generations and Three Dukes.
Although it has declined in Li Mi's generation, after all, he was the first high-ranking disciple to be optimistic about Wagang Village. This was naturally reused by Zhai Rang, hoping to use this as an example to attract more talents.
Therefore, when Zhai Rang heard that an impressive young man had come and wanted to join Wagang Village, he immediately wanted to meet him.
Unfortunately, Zhao Mingyuan looks too young and has no reputation.
And Zhao Mingyuan looked very gorgeous in his accessories, and even brought a book boy and a maid with him when he came out, which naturally made the people in the hall who came from a poor family 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 just on a whim.
In fact, Zhao Mingyuan killed Shi Long, which was considered a good achievement. It's a pity that Shilong's disciple Guan He didn't spread this matter to the world at all.
Shilong often stayed in seclusion for a long time. As long as Guan He kept quiet, no one noticed anything was wrong. No one knew that Shi Long had been killed by Zhao Mingyuan.
Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan is not well-known in the world now.
Now, looking at Zhao Mingyuan's profession, it seems that he behaves like a playboy from a powerful family, which naturally makes everyone present have no good impression of them, those with vested interests.
So, Zhai Rang asked impolitely: "I wonder what Mr. Zhao's strengths are, and why no one has ever heard of Mr. Zhao's reputation, whether in the world or in the court."
Many heroes from Wagang Village in the hall looked at Zhao Mingyuan, and naturally they didn't think he had any abilities.
After hearing this, Zhao Mingyuan smiled and said: "It turns out that Dalongtou has now destroyed Sui and Yang and unified the world. Now that he has many talents under his command, 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, but you are still picky and look down on them. How can Wagang Town be so picky now?
Although millions of people gather in Wagang Village today, which sounds nice, most of them are ordinary people who cannot 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. In previous battles, the Sui army had been beaten and fled everywhere.
Of course, the bigger problem is to feed these millions of people. The first problem we face is that there is simply not enough food to eat.
Originally, people rebelled 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 had not yet reached its peak, and Zhai Rang was not incapable of listening to what others had to say.
Seeing this, Zhai Rang apologized to Zhao Mingyuan, treated him with courtesy, and even hosted a banquet for him.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhai Rang described the current situation of Wagang Village and asked Zhao Mingyuan: "Why do you teach me, sir?"
Zhao Mingyuan did not refuse, and said: "Although Wagang Village is in many crises now, the biggest problem facing us is food.
As long as this problem is solved, everything else can be solved easily.
The best way to obtain enough food is to attack Luokou Cang.
As long as the grain in the Luokou warehouse is obtained, Wagang Village will be in an invincible position.
With this food, the soldiers can naturally be trained to be strong and strong, and then they can take Luoyang westward and capture the imperial capital.
With this move, we can secure the Central Plains of Cauldron. With this power, people from all directions will naturally come to join us. The world belongs to me.
By then, I am afraid that the unification of the world will be just around the corner. "
Listening to Zhao Mingyuan's description, everyone in the hall was filled with excitement and thoughts.
While Zhai Rang looked at Zhao Mingyuan in front of him, he couldn't help but remember that someone had said something similar to him not long ago.
That person is Li Mi.
