Li Da had used donkeys and horses in the fields, so after Li Kui snatched the carriage, he drove it on the road.
Li Kui, however, followed closely beside the carriage, watching his mother wrapped in a quilt in the carriage and no longer shivering, and kept laughing.
When Zhu Fu looked back, he saw that this person had a round head, big ears, a straight nose, a square mouth, a thin waist and broad arms. He looked familiar, as if he had seen him in his own shop. He stopped and said, "Who is this person? Why are you chasing Li?" cloud?"
The man hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "My surname is Yang Minglin, my ancestral home is Zhangde Prefecture. I usually live in the green forest. People in the rivers and lakes call me Jinbaozi Yang Lin. I met my brother once before at my brother's hotel. This morning There was a stir in Yishui County. It was only said that the elder brother had tricked the Blue Eyed Tiger into saving two Liangshan heroes, and then later told the Blue Eyed Tiger to join the gang in Liangshan. Now the county has issued a sea arrest document to arrest several younger brothers. Hearing that King Chao Tian of Liangshan was magnanimous in his actions, he had long wanted to surrender, but he had no way out, so he shamelessly chased after them, hoping that they would bring him a contract. "
Although Zhu Fu felt that Liangshan was looking for talented people from all over the place, it would be better to bring one more person, but after all, he was a hotel owner for a long time, and he was well-rounded. He turned to Mu Hong and said, "I haven't joined the team yet, so I have to ask my brother to make up his mind on this matter."
Mu Hong saw Yang Lin's strong figure and quick feet, so he also smiled and said: "I am recruiting heroes in Liangshan. Since my brother wants to join the team, he can go up the mountain with us."
Seeing that Mu Hong agreed, Yang Lin quickly thanked him.
After everyone saw the ceremony one by one, they continued on their way to Liangshan.
Exiting Yishui County is Tai'an Prefecture. Although Tai'an Prefecture received documents from Yishui County, because Tai'an Prefecture is adjacent to Liangshan and Liangshan is in full swing, the imperial court's 8,000-strong army was defeated. Nothing more to say.
Tai'an Prefecture only asked Liangshan not to harass his city. How dare he take the initiative to provoke Liangshan, so he did not set up roadblocks along the way to arrest Mu Hong and his party.
The journey was uneventful, and within a few days, everyone arrived at the intersection of Li's house.
Zhu Gui saw that his brothers had also arrived, so he personally led everyone up the mountain to the Juyi Hall to pay homage to King Chao Tian.
After the Juyi drum sounded, the leaders arrived one after another.
Zhu Gui then introduced Yang Lin, Li Yun, and Zhu Fu to meet the leaders, and told them with a smile that Yang Lin was chasing the people to join the gang.
After Chao Yong heard this, he thought for a while and said: "Although I, Liangshan, are looking for talented people everywhere, many of them are probably like the Yang Lin brothers. No one recommends them. I am afraid that they will just become a little guy when they come to the village, so I hesitate." In my opinion, it is better to set up three levels, and only those who pass them can become deputy generals, and then decide whether they can become generals based on their merits. In this way, heroes from all over the world will come to vote."
Hearing this, Wu Yong frowned and said: "Although this can attract many heroes to join the gang, I am afraid that spies will sneak into the court and take over the military power of Liangshan again, I am afraid that Liangshan will be destroyed in the future."
Du Qian also rarely spoke up and said: "What the military adviser said is that after all, we are a thorn in the side of the imperial court and a thorn in the flesh, so it is better to be cautious."
Chao Yong knew that Wu Yong was indeed cautious, but Du Qian probably represented a few old chiefs on the mountain.
A few days ago, when the family was having dinner, Chao Gai said that some Liangshan leaders suggested that he stop recruiting troops.
They felt that Liangshan was already powerful enough to resist the imperial court¡¯s suppression even if they no longer recruited troops. Recruiting troops and buying horses will only consume Liangshan's money and food, forcing them to rob the state capital again, which will attract the imperial army to arrest them. If we go to war together, we will inevitably lose our brothers.
Although Chao Gai did not specify who the leaders were, Chao Yong also knew through Shi Qian that they were Du Qian, Song Wan, and Bai Sheng, a few old men in the mountains. These people with a rough background and short experience did not have any longer-term considerations. If you eat wine and meat, you will feel happy.
For them, doing justice for heaven means they can kill corrupt officials and evil gentry while also gaining money and food. It is the best of both worlds.
But these things are best done when the cottage has no money and food. If the cottage has money and food, and they are asked to fight with the imperial court to do justice for heaven, they will shrink back a little.
Chao Gai wanted to do justice for heaven and do some good things for the people, but he had a deep sense of loyalty and was afraid of damaging his brothers, so he was in a dilemma and asked Chao Yong for his advice.
Of course Chao Yong could not let Chao Gai sway, so he hurriedly said something about giving up small righteousness for great righteousness. Finally, he was afraid that Chao Gai would be persuaded by Bai Sheng and others, so he raised the banner of Jiutian Xuannv Empress again. He learned in his dream As long as we keep holding high the banner of upholding justice for heaven, the Chao family will surely prosper. As for those old brothers who don't want to fight, it's easy to deal with them. There are many copycat leaders now, so just don't let them go to the battlefield.
Chao GaitingWhen he was able to get the best of both worlds and prosper the Chao family, he made up his mind to carry out justice for heaven to the end.
Chao Yong naturally knew Du Qian's intention, but it was hard to tell. He smiled and said: "Although I, Liangshan, plundered Yuncheng County and Dongping Mansion, and luckily defeated General Hu Yan's army, in the eyes of the imperial court, I am just a The larger grass bandits are just the traitors in the court who are vying for the position after Cai Jing's resignation as prime minister, and they have no time to pay attention to us. In their view, the court has hundreds of thousands of troops that can be used. If Liangshan defeats 8,000 troops, they can send 20,000. , even a hundred thousand troops come to destroy us, there is no need to waste time with us and play counter-measures. "
Lin Chong also said: "What Brother Yong is saying is that nowadays, the court is full of treacherous ministers like Gao Qiu who don't understand military matters and are boastful. In their eyes, the eight hundred miles of water is just the same as his family." Like a pond, the imperial army is everywhere, and they will not use tricks against us. If we make it bigger, I am afraid that many treacherous officials will rush to lead troops to attack us in order to make achievements in their eyes. Liao and Xixia are much easier to fight, which is a good opportunity to make achievements. "
Seeing that Lin Chong said the same thing, Chao Gai said: "Since the imperial court will not send spies, I think this is a good idea. I, Liangshan, need to recruit heroes from all over the world to strengthen our power, so that we can not be afraid of the imperial court and do justice for heaven."
(This should be the last chapter of the public chapter. It will be on the shelves at 12 o'clock tonight. I will update a chapter first. I know that many book friends will read pirated versions. Everyone's situation is different, and I don't force everyone to read the original version. But if you have a rich account, at least give me an initial subscription, haha. I won¡¯t talk about the relationship between subscriptions and books, as many authors have said it.)
(Yang Lin in Water Margin was encountered by Dai Zong in Yishui County when he went to Jizhou to find Gongsun Sheng. The geographical location here is too confusing. Yishui County is to the east of Liangshan and Jizhou is to the north of Liangshan. It is impossible to pass by, so Yang Lin is in Yishui. Shuixian appeared. The Yinmachuan trio were still on Hebei Road. Tai'an Prefecture in Water Margin was still called Yanzhou at this time, but it was already written as Tai'an Prefecture in the last fight. From now on, Yanzhou will be written as Tai'an Prefecture in Water Margin. He was eaten because he was scared away by Li Da and just walked to a secluded path. Here Li Da went together, so he naturally took an ordinary path and encountered a Li ghost instead of a tiger. This book tries its best to be reasonable, but there are inevitably some errors and omissions. Welcome. Everyone pointed out that the reference is Water Margin, so no need to make trouble unreasonably)
(Thanks to book friends "Wind to the Desert", "Snow Mountain Gray Tiger", "Wizitai", "Struggle 24h" and "hansire" for the reward)
