Zhuluzhongyuan: I Am a Warlord in the Troubled Times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

The seventh year of the great cause, AD 611. In May, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty spread the word to the world that he wanted to conquer Goguryeo himself on the grounds that King Gaoyuan of Goguryeo despised the suzerain. At the same time, an edict was issued requiring various places to raise war horses and reserve military supplies. The soldiers of the government were dispatched to organize marches, and civilians were recruited for labor service. Everyone everywhere obeys the will and listens to orders. Soldiers from all over the country were summoned one after another to return to the construction, and the civilian laborers also set off together with them. As soon as the edict arrived, more than 190 counties and 1,255 counties in the entire Sui Dynasty became busy with it. In September of the same year, Wang Bo and Meng Rang from Qi County were not angry about the heavy military service. They launched a rebellion at the Zouping stronghold in Changbai Mountain. They called themselves Zhi Shilang and sang a death song called Wuxiang Liaodong to call on the peasants in their hometown to join the rebel army. At that time, more than a thousand people responded. Jing Xiao happened to travel to Qi County at this time. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
