    In December of the sixth year of Daye, Dongjun.

    A Yellow River flows eastward, and there are many heroes along the way.  The land of Dongjun, which connects Henan, Hebei and Qingyan, is the most fertile.  The heroes of Shandong are enthusiastic, forthright, rugged and brave. They help the poor and the poor, and they are loyal to justice, and the population is also the most sturdy.  Among the people in Dongjun County, when Zhai Rang's name is mentioned, who doesn't give a thumbs up.

    It is said that Zhai Rang had outstanding martial arts, outstanding martial arts, a life of righteousness and wealth, a righteous man who loved to make friends with heroes all over the world, and was famous in the world.  But those who came to seek refuge with him, no matter whether they were good or bad, stayed in the village.  When he wanted to leave, he gave him money to help him get up.

    But no one knew at this time that the famous Zhai Rang was already behind bars.

    At this time, the moon was bright and the wind was high, and bits of moonlight shone in front of Zhai Rang through the small window of the cell.  Zhai Rang leaned against the wall, drinking alone.

    "I thought that I, Zhai Rang, would spend my whole life being righteous and generous, but I never expected that I would end up in this situation. What a trick of God's will!"

    Zhai Rang was originally a rich man from Dongjun. His family was very powerful in Dongjun, and he himself served as the military officer of Dongjun.  But Zhai Rang is a typical local snake. He likes brave knights very much and often recruits them as party members.  Therefore, every time a knight-errant in the county committed a crime, Zhai Rang would use his connections to manipulate the lawsuit and secretly fight the case for these people.

    With this skill, Zhai Rang won the support of the rangers in the county, and he himself was doing half-white and half-black deeds.

    But who would have ever thought that "when a horse stumbles, a man stumbles"? Zhai Rang's activities in the county, relying on his status as a rich man, had long aroused the dissatisfaction of Zheng Yi, the director of the affairs department and the military officer, but he did not find out what was wrong with him.  The newly appointed governor of Dongjun this year is Li Xiaozhen, the former Shaoqing of Dali, who is from the Li family of Zhaojun.

    Zheng Yi took the opportunity to report Zhai Rang's crime to Li Xiaozhen.

    In Li Xiaozhen¡¯s eyes, Zhai Rang is just an ant who can be crushed to death with a backhand.  Besides, he came to Dongjun and was about to establish his power. Zhai Rang, a man who believed in both black and white, was just right, so he was arrested and imprisoned on charges of "adultery and conspiracy to cause chaos".

    Zhai Rang was originally a person who manipulated lawsuits, but he didn't expect that his lawsuit would be manipulated by a higher-level person.

    Zhai Rang was caught and imprisoned and had to wait for death.

    Fortunately, Zhai Rang still had a reputation, so he was served with food and wine every day in prison.  However, he was about to be questioned. The penalty for this crime was to be sent to work on the canal embankment, and he was afraid that he would not survive for three days.

    Zhai Rang was feeling sorry for himself when he heard a rustling sound.

    Zhai Rang looked up and saw that it was his former friend Huang Junhan.  Huang Junhan was also a local rich man. He was from the Huang family in Puyang. His father was Huang Cha, the former governor of Bianzhou. Huang Junhan is now the warden of Dongjun.

    Zhai Rang was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Jingyun (Huang Jun in Chinese characters), why are you here?"

    Huang Junhan stepped forward and opened the shackles of Zhai Rang's cell door, and said to Zhai Rang: "Zhai Facao, you have suffered. The weather and human affairs may be predictable. How can a hero wait for death in prison?"

    Zhai Rang was surprised and happy after hearing this, and said: "I am like an animal in a pen now. I have no control over my life or death. Today I can only obey Jing Yun's instructions."

    Huang Junhan said to Zhai Rang: "If Fa Cao makes friends, the world will be the best. The world is so big, where can't he go?"

    Zhai Rang thanked him again and again, and said: "Zhai Rang was spared today because of Jing Yun's rebirth. I am very grateful. But if Jing Yun lets me go, how should I explain to my superiors?"

    At this time, Huang Junhan became furious and said: "I thought you, Zhai Rang, were a man who could save the common people, so I risked my life to rescue you. But now you are like a woman, indecisive and nagging. How can you achieve great things?"  I have my own way to explain it to my superiors, but it¡¯s you, don¡¯t forget your oath to ¡®do justice for heaven and help those in danger and the poor¡¯.¡±

    Zhai Rang kowtowed to Huang Junhan and said, "Zhai Rang will live up to Jingyun in the future." After that, he hurriedly left.

    Zhai Rang left the prison and sneaked into his home secretly.  At this time, his friend Jia Xiong suggested that Zhai Rang lead his family's tenants and slaves to Wagang Mountain (now south of Huaxian County, Henan Province) to become bandits.

    Wagang Mountain is not far from Baima County and Zhai Rang¡¯s hometown Weicheng (the seat of governance is now southeast of Hua County, Henan Province). The mountain is majestic and dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has a radius of hundreds of miles and fertile land.

    Jia Xiong knows Yin and Yang and is good at divination. He is trusted and reused by Zhai Rang, who obeys his advice.  He believes that in this year of great disaster, when refugees are everywhere and people have nowhere to beg for help, it is the time when people's minds change.

    "But the emperor is ignorant, ignorant, tyrannical, and unsympathetic to the people, and the people of the world are miserable. At this time, like dry wood, once there is a spark, it can burn the whole world. This is the pattern of chaos in the world.  The world will be in chaos, right???In an era where heroes emerge in large numbers, if you are the first to occupy a force now, you will have choices whether you want to retreat or advance in the future.

    As a powerful figure in the middle and lower classes, Zhai Rang saw that the people in the Sui Dynasty were dying day by day, and he had already planned to establish an alliance. Therefore, under Jia Xiong's persuasion, Zhai Rang took his brother Zhai Hong, nephew Zhai Mohou, and close confidant Wang Ruxin.  and others, went to Wagang Mountain to start a rebellion on their own.

    Zhai Rang was already well-known in Dongjun, so the desperadoes who broke the law in the county came to seek refuge one after another.  And the people in Dongjun who couldn't survive due to the flood also came to seek refuge.

    Zhai Rang¡¯s good friend Shan Xiongxin was brave and strong, good at riding horses and wielding spears. Hearing that Zhai Rang was revolting in Wagang Mountain, he recruited young people to join Zhai Rang.

    Xu Shiji, a native of Lihu (now Dongming County, Heze City, Shandong Province), lived in Weinan. He was seventeen years old and a local tycoon. He had many children and servants and accumulated thousands of chestnuts.  The brave and resourceful people also came to join Zhai Rang. They used Wagang Mountain as their base, so they were called the Wagang Army.

    Although Wagang Mountain is steep, it is not a long-term foundation.

    The number of people in Wagang Mountain is increasing day by day, and Zhai Rang always feels that the supply in the mountain is insufficient.  But if they were allowed to attack the city, their power would not be enough.

    At the same time, after Li Xiaozhen learned about Zhai Rang's uprising, he mobilized troops to encircle and suppress Wagang Mountain.  Due to the steep mountain terrain, Li Xiaozhen repeatedly attacked Wagang Mountain, but all of them lost troops and generals and could not succeed.  Therefore, Li Xiaozhen ordered all roads leading to Wagang Mountain to be cut off, and the walls to be cleared to attack Zhai Rang's troops.

    At this time, Xu Shiji persuaded Zhai Rang: "Dongjun is a hometown for you and me. We know most of the people there, so it is not appropriate to invade them. Xingyang County and Liang County are places where the Bian River flows through, and it flows north and south. We can  This robbery of passing merchants and travelers is enough to support ourselves."

    Zhai Rang was so happy that he led his troops to break out from Wagang Mountain and headed straight to the border of Xingyang County and Liang County. They relied on the canal and robbed public and private ships passing by. As a result, supplies were abundant and more and more people came to join.  There are more than 10,000 disciples, most of whom are fishermen and hunters, and are good at using spears.

    At this point, the power of the Wagang Army expanded rapidly and began to conquer cities in the Central Plains, becoming an important peasant army in the Central Plains.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
