Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 245 Persuading Zhai Rang on Wagang Mountain.

Liang County did not suppress bandits, and Xingyang County did not suppress bandits. In just one year or so, the Wagang Village expanded to about [-] people.

Of course, the so-called [-] people does not mean that there are more than [-] people who are young and strong, but that the old, weak, women and children are combined, and there are about [-] people.

After all, these bandits also have wives and children, mothers and fathers.They have fallen into banditry, if they don't bring their family members with them, the government will find out, and their family members will still be able to live.

This Wagang Mountain is a good place. Wagang Mountain is located on the southeast bank of the ancient Yellow River, facing the Baima Ferry of the Yellow River in the north, and facing Tongji Canal (South Canal) in the south; it is only a hundred miles away from Yongji Canal (North Canal) across the Yellow River in the west. Far away, Wagang is just outside the bell mouth of the North-South Grand Canal.

This terrain connects many major water transportation routes. In ancient times, those who could be transported by water were all big deals.The people from Wagangshan didn't need to rob the road, they got stuck in these main waterways and collected tolls, which was a huge income.

No one wants to be remembered by the bandits as a serious businessman, so as long as the lion doesn't open his mouth, these businessmen are happy to spend money to buy peace.

Moreover, this Wagang Village is a remote place.Due to the repeated flooding of the Yellow River, there are undulating hills, dense trees, criss-cross ditches and rivers, flocks of water birds, and reeds everywhere. This environment is convenient for stationing troops and attacking.

The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it also guards a "toll station" that has made a long-term progress. It is also for these reasons that the forces on Wagang Mountain have developed extremely rapidly.

Of course, Zhai Rang, the head of the Wagang village, is also indispensable.Zhai Rang used to be a law officer in Dongjun County. What kind of official is this law officer? He is probably the top leader of the city court today.

Later, Zhai Rang committed a crime and was sentenced to death.This official has committed a capital crime, and he guessed that Zhai Rang's appointment did not reduce his food and cards.When Zhai Rang was in prison, the warden Huang Junhan had a good relationship with Zhai Rang, so he secretly released him.

After Zhai Rang escaped from the prison, he got into Wagang Mountain and formed a team.This Wagang Mountain can be said to be a family business now, and the leader is naturally Zhai Rang.Below are Zhai Rang's brothers, Zhai Wenlong and Zhai Wenhu.

Then there is a monk Yuanjue who has committed crimes, and Jia Xiong, a scholar who has no ambitions, is a military adviser.

Yuwen Shiji went all the way out of the Shandong border and went straight to Wagang Mountain.Of course, the 10 taels of gold that Yuwen Shiji brought was stored in Liangjun City by him.

Yuwen Shiji is not stupid, he knows the truth of not revealing money.Before the matter was settled, he took 10 taels of gold to Wagang Mountain. Wouldn't that mean carrying a cage of meat buns into the kennel?

Wagang Mountain, Wagang Village.

In the Juyi Hall of Wagang Village, a middle-aged man in his 30s sat on a big tiger-skin chair.

This man has sword eyebrows and star eyes, he is very heroic, his height is more than eight feet away, his arms are big and his waist is round, he looks like a man of extraordinary martial arts.This person is none other than that little overlord Zhai Rang.

"report"

"The head of the family, a person came down from the mountain, claiming to be a member of the Yuwen Clan, and said that he was going to give the head of the family a fortune!" A scout came hurriedly from the foot of the mountain and reported to Zhai Rang.

Zhai Rang is not a bandit who has never seen the world. He has been a lawyer in Dongjun County, so he can be regarded as an intellectual.Since he was a former official, Zhai Rang knew very well the meaning of the words Yuwen Clan.

Zhai Rang hurriedly greeted Jia Xiong, the military adviser, and after discussing for a while, they felt that this member of the Yuwen Clan had to be seen.The most important thing is that you can't afford to offend.That being the case, it is better to let him come up first, and listen to what is going on here.

"Go and invite the adults of the Yuwen Clan to go up the mountain!" Zhai Rang ordered to Tanma under him.

In the Gathering Hall of Wagang Village, Zhai Rang sat on the big tiger-skin chair in the middle.Below are Zhai Wenlong, Zhai Wenhu, monk Yuanjue, and military advisor Jia Xiong.

Yuwen Shiji stepped into the Juyi Hall, the main leader on Wagang Mountain, had been waiting for a long time.

"This is the little overlord Zhai Dazhai, right?"

"I have admired your name for a long time, I have admired your name for a long time!" Yuwen Shiji cupped his hands at Zhai Rang and said with a smile.

Yuwen Shi and this guy, he is purely talking nonsense.How could he have admired Zhai Rang for a long time, he had never heard of Zhai Rang before, and this was all he heard from his subordinates temporarily.

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

"Not just right now, but the lord of the Yuwen Clan?" Zhai Rang hurriedly asked Yuwen Shiji.

"My brother, Yuwen Shiji, is the Minister of the Household Department." At this moment, Yu Wenshiji pulled the tiger skin of his elder brother Yu Wenhuaji.

When Zhai Rang heard that this was the younger brother of Yu Wenhuaji, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he was shocked. Yu Wenhuaji is also the current favorite of His Majesty. It seems that this is a big one.

Zhai Rang didn't know that the two brothers of Yuwen's family didn't belong to the same school at all.One works for Yang Guang and the other does not work for Yang Guang.Yuwen Shiji, this is trying to fool Zhai Rang.

"Master Yuwen, please sit down. I don't know why Master Yuwen is here. What's the matter?" Zhai Rang asked Yuwen Shiji.

Yuwen Shiji looked at Zhai Rang, and said to him, "I'm here this time, the so-called call for safety!"

As soon as he heard the word Zhao'an, he didn't wait for Zhai Rang to speak.Monk Yuanjue became angry first, and he yelled: "There is no good person in this official, so please be safe!"

Monk Yuanjue is really angry, probably because he has been a monk for a long time and has no place to vent his anger.

Although Monk Yuanjue's attitude was not good, Yuwen Shiji was not angry.Yuwen Shiji thought to himself that his attitude towards the government is not good, which means that he is not afraid of offending the government.When I invite them to rob Li Mi later, it will be much easier.

"Hey!"

"Everyone has misunderstood. My recruiting is not for you to be officials. It is for you to be happy and happy on the mountain stronghold. I will provide you with weapons, food and grass, and everything you need. You can develop your own power, that is, unification. All the bandits in Henan are no problem." Yuwen Shiji said to Zhai Rang with a smile.

Zhai Rang frowned, he didn't believe there was such a good thing as a pie in the sky.

"Ha ha!"

"It's not just my Wagang village, what do I need to pay?" Zhai Rang asked Yuwen Shiji.

Yuwen Shiji didn't hide it, but said frankly: "When I, Yuwen Clan, came to Wagang Village, Wagang Village naturally needed a lot of help.

"Master, this business is OK!"

"Anyway, they give us things first, and when they are useful to us in the future, we will talk about them later. It is up to us to decide whether to help or not." Military adviser Jia Xiong walked up to Zhai Rang and lay on his knees He whispered in his ear.

Zhai Rang thought it was reasonable. These aristocratic families are very rich. I will give you some benefits by prostitution first. We will talk about the future.
