"Uncle Zhang, I've inquired, and the people who collected grain will come tomorrow. This time the amount of grain collection increased by 20%. We really have no food to hand over." A young man from the village said.

"There was a war ahead, and it was very fierce. I heard that the King of Qin had taken down several towns, and the scattered people couldn't bear it. I heard that there was a city that opened the city gate and surrendered before it even started." Another young man said.

"Uncle Zhang, I have done what you have given me. I have gone to several villages around me. The situation is similar to ours. As long as we get up, we should do it with us. Now we are short of a leader." This time it was Meng Xiaohei who spoke. Obviously, Meng Xiaohei has not yet come out of his great grief, but at this time there is something in the village, and Meng Xiaohei can only take care of the overall situation.

After Meng Xiaohei finished speaking, Uncle Zhang looked at Liu Shan.

"Isn't the leader right in front of me? I, a good disciple, have been in this business before, and the Wagang Army is also an uprising army. Liu Shan has been there for some time." Uncle Zhang naturally pulled Liu Shan out. Only then did Liu Shan know why the Mengjiagou incident happened tonight also made him come. It turned out that they wanted to be the leader themselves.

"Yes, Brother Liu Shan was the leader of the peasant army before, and he has been working with that dog bastard for several years. This time we were in a rebellion, and Brother Liu Shan is here, so I will choose Brother Liu Shan."

"It's a pity that my apprentice is not from Mengjiagou. I'm afraid that someone in the village will not accept it." Uncle Zhang expressed a concern.

"Uncle Zhang, you are wrong. The Wagang Army used to release grain in Xingluo Cang, Luoyang. Now the people of Luoyang generation still remember it. If Brother Liu Shan took the lead, not only us, but even the surrounding villages and towns would respond. Brother Liu Shan was an old man from Wagang. At this time, the mischievous man was so tight. Brother Liu Shan took the lead, and we would definitely respond to it."

"Uncle Zhang, I have calculated that there are about 160 people in our village, and the surrounding villages are fewer than us, but there are still 100 people. Once the flags are pulled up, we can definitely raise the team of five or six hundred people." Meng Xiaohei was obviously more familiar with the surrounding villages and said quickly.

"I also know that there is a group of bandits not far from here, named Chen Pingzhai. A few days ago, the bastard sent people to encircle and suppress, but the front line was tight, so after two days of encirclement and suppression, the troops were transferred away. If this group of people could be pulled, our team would be even more powerful." said a man.

When Liu Shan heard about the bandits, he didn't think it was unreasonable. In the war years, the bandits were organized by farmers, and there were so many bandits. The farmers were poor that only had pairs of pants left. Naturally, the rich were all robbed. Among them, there were some heroes who robbed the rich and helped the poor.

Moreover, the rebel army in the war years was also called bandits by the government, such as the former Wagang Village, which was the bandit leader.

"You guys are right, but with all your plans, we can afford to support a team of thousands of people at most. At this time, there are tens of thousands of troops in Luoyang. As soon as we raise the banner, the other party will pounce on us." Uncle Zhang was considerate, and the young men around were silent.

"My master thought it very carefully. When we set up the team, we first had no food and weapons, let alone armor. But think about it, which of the rebels in the past had just started, not like us, without food and clothing. If we had no food and clothing, who would have picked up a hoe to revolt. Second, we had to face the counterattack of the government army. We were poor and we were poor and we became bandits. Since we were bandits, we naturally had to face the suppression of the government army. This has been the case since ancient times." At this time, Liu Shan walked out, and Liu Shan had not spoken. At this moment, seeing everyone silent, Liu Shan felt that it was time for him to speak.

"Brother Liu Shan is right. Since ancient times, there has been no uprising like us. We lack clothes, but we don't wear clothes, so who would be willing to go against the government?" After Liu Shan said that, the young man next to Liu Shan stood up and said loudly.

"Master, there are three forms of uprisings. The first is an uprising that was forced to recover at a specific time. For example, the uprising in Daze Township of the Qin Dynasty was caused by rain and missing the arrival time, and according to Qin rules, Chen Sheng and Wu Guangcai led everyone to kill the escorted official army uprising. The second is an organized uprising. For example, Xiang Liang, who was behind the Daze Township, had the background of the Xiang family of the Chu State, had long wanted to restore the Chu family's world, and just waited for an opportunity. The third is that there were some organizations and some preparations, but they only rose up when they had to." Liu Shan paused and looked at everyone.

"I saw you how to deal with Wang's scattered cavalry that day. I think you have specially trained it in daily life. Otherwise, the terrain I chose at that time and the fire attack method would not be so skillful. Also, there should be some weapons in the village, even bows and arrows. Otherwise, even if the woodcutter hunter in the mountains had bows and arrows, it would not be possible to take out dozens of bows at once." Liu Shan's words also showed how people in front of him looked at things. Just by helping that day, Liu Shan had already seen that they were training villagers in Mengjiagou.

Liu Shan did not find it strange. After all, the most chaotic time in the late Sui Dynasty was the Central Plains. Fighting here today and fighting there tomorrow, wars occurred in almost every inch of land. During the war, even the common people of the Shangdou must have the awareness of protecting their own food and family property. I know that Master is a top master living in seclusion. It would be strange if I can't think of the people in Mengjiagou who have undergone some training.

"Good disciple, you're right. There are some weapons in the village, which were left by the rebel army back then. The villagers also practiced for some time during the slack season on weekdays. However, this cannot stop the army in Luoyang. Once the army arrives, we are really not fighting enough." When the master said this at this time, Liu Shan naturally knew that the master was testing him. It's not that the master couldn't see the situation clearly, but that the master had to know whether the leader he chose had the ability to be a leader.

"Don't worry, this master, the army in Luoyang will not come at this time. At most, some small troops will be sent to pacify us. The Bazaar still has to keep those troops to defend Luoyang City. At this time, the King of Qin was pressing step by step in the west, and Dou Jiande from Hebei was still in a state of watching the wind. The Bazaar's army either fought on the front line or defended the Dongdu in the rear." Liu Shan paused for a moment and looked at the people around him.

"This is a good time to take action. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the dogs and taxes add to the sky and people are resentful, we will start a team. Our team is very small at the beginning and will naturally not be valued by Luoyang. However, a spark can start a prairie fire. When our strength is big enough, the dogs and foxes can do anything to us."

"But I also want to tell you that I will go to the Tang Dynasty in the future. The Tang Dynasty can treat the people. The Tang Dynasty also has the strength to annex the world at this time. Although the Qin King was young, he had both civil and military affairs, and his subordinates were full of civil and military officials and generals. The world's chaotic times have long enough. I, Liu Shan, don't want to fight for hegemony at this time, delaying the war and causing the people of the world to suffer." Liu Shan said the last sentence, which was also a promise for everyone to be the leader himself.

"Brother said it well. I, Meng Xiaohei, also heard that the people in the Tang Dynasty are very popular, with farming and food. If the King of Qin can defeat this scattered dog, I will also surrender to the Tang Dynasty and be a small pawn under the King of Qin's tent."
