Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Zhao Zhen and the others listened to Liu Huiniang's words and looked at each other speechlessly.

Zhu Wudao: "It's all these corrupt officials who steal high positions. Many righteous people in the world are forced to fall into the trap and become bandits. If Song Gongming succeeds, I have to make preparations here in advance. I'm afraid that by then, there will be no fighting." "

Wu Yong said: "Brother Zhu Wu is right. In addition to training soldiers and horses, we still need to contact the righteous men in the world to increase our strength."

"I still ask Mr. Liu to write a letter. There is no need to mention the intention of defecting in the letter, as long as he does not defect to Song Jiang wholeheartedly." Wu Yong continued.

At that moment, Zhao Zhen wrote a letter, explaining the reasons in detail, and sent it to Jingmen Town. Ask Liu Guang to write a letter, and ask Liu Qi and Shiqian's two brothers to take five or seven elite sergeants to pretend to be merchants, carry letters, and go to Yuanbi Village to deliver letters.

Not to mention that Liu Qi and Shi Qian took the road to Yizhou and went to Yuanbi Village. Let’s just talk about Yuncheng County, a neighboring county of Liangshan County. I don’t know how many people were reprimanded because they lost their birth date. Because Song Jiang was the custodian of Yuncheng County, Shi Wenbin, the county magistrate who had just taken office, was also implicated.

Taking this opportunity, Cai Jing recommended his disciples to take up posts in the county. After taking office, the new county magistrate relieved Lei Heng and Zhu Dian from their duties as commanders of infantry and cavalry.

Because of his red face and long beard, Zhu Tong resembled Guan Yu, the famous general of the Three Kingdoms, so he joined the county as a prisoner. Lei Heng was just a blacksmith. In his free time, he wrote and painted in the county every day, waiting for orders. When he is busy, he only travels between the state capitals, delivering official documents, and acting as a quick service. Not to mention the danger, there is not much oil or water. Since he passed through Liangshan County on his last trip, Lei Heng saw that Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others had to be reused. He thought about it again and again and had already thought of going to Liangshan County.

On this day, Lei Heng came back from Dongchang Mansion, met with the magistrate, replied, and handed over official documents and approval slips. Lei Heng left the county government office and met Zhao Neng and Zhao De who were coming back from outside. They smelled of alcohol and looked like they had been invited back after eating out.

Seeing Lei Heng, Zhao Neng said: "Lei Dutou, this is back from an outing. Brothers are really carefree. Once they go out, there won't be much to do when they come back. Unlike my two brothers, who don't have a day to relax."

Lei Heng snorted, ignored it, and turned around and walked home.

Zhao De sneered: "Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? I really think you are still an infantry soldier."

Zhao Neng smiled and said: "No matter what he does, in a few days, if possible, he will be transferred to my two men as a soldier, and then we will deal with him."

Lei Heng was angry, but he didn't want to show it publicly. Now the situation was stronger than others, and his status was embarrassing. If he really made trouble, he would suffer the loss.

Lei Heng suppressed his anger, drank two cents of wine, returned home, and met his mother.

Without waiting for Lei's mother to finish cooking, Lei Heng heated the wine himself and took one bowl at a time. By the time Lei's mother finished cooking, Lei Heng was already lying on the table, drunk.

At night, when Lei Heng sobered up, Lei's mother asked, "My son, why are you so unhappy?"

After Lei Heng finished speaking, Lei's mother said, "Even so, even if we don't do this job, we can still support the two of us even if we reopen the blacksmith shop."

Lei Heng said: "Although I have said that, I am not willing to give in. The people who usually invite people to drink and drink have turned to other places. Not to mention this, even if the blacksmith shop is reopened, I'm afraid there will be very little disturbance."

After hesitating for a while, Lei Heng continued: "Mom, I passed by Liangshan County some time ago. There are two good friends in the county. One was Baozheng Chao Gai of Dongxi Village, whom my mother also met, and the other was a professor in his village. One of these two people is now a general who leads troops in Liangshan County, and the other is a military advisor. The county magistrate Zhao Zhen also heard about my name and wanted to recruit me to be a commander in his county, but I was the one who led the army. Gu Nian's family property is all in Yuncheng County, so he used it as an excuse. Now, it is better to sell off the family property and go to Liangshan County to find a job than to suffer here. "

After hearing this, Lei's mother said: "My son, as the saying goes, if you move a tree, you will die, but if you move people, you will live. Since Liangshan County wants to use you, what can you do if you move the whole family?"

After hearing what Lei Mu said, Lei Heng made up his mind. On the second day, they searched for someone to sell the yard and fields. Two days later, Zhu Tong heard about it, went to Lei Heng, and asked, "Brother Xian, I heard that you were selling your property everywhere, but you encountered difficulties. I still have some gold and silver here. Brother Xian, I will use it for emergencies."

Lei Heng shook his head and said: "Brother, there is nothing difficult. Now I don't have the trust of the county magistrate. I am always angry with people in the county government. After thinking about it, I have resigned from my position in the county. I will just wait for the sale of my business and go to work." Liangshan County, go to the high official Zhao Zhen."

"My brother is just a prisoner here, so why not come with me to Liangshan County. The county magistrate, Zhao Daguan, is now looking for talented people, and brother Chao Gai is already a general with thousands of troops in Liangshan County. With the two of me, Martial arts, I dare not say anything else, but being the commander of hundreds of troops is better than being trained here."

"Xian brother, do you recognize [Xiao Mengchang] Zhao Zhen?" Zhu Tong asked.

"We have met him several times. When I first met him, he was just an upright official. Now he is the magistrate of Liangshan County and has many famous heroes under him. With my martial arts skills, why don't you come with me and find a job? "Female my wife as my wife," Lei Heng replied.

After hearing this, Zhu Tong was moved. He looked around and whispered: "For the former, I received a letter from brother Gongming, inviting me to Luocao in Qingzhou. I am an innocent person, so I refused. Now, although I am in prison, I , having a monthly routine is no better than doing it all.”

"I don't know how many times I have heard the name Zhao Daguanren in the past year. There was brother Gongming before me, and Zhao Daguan behind him. They are both famous heroes in Shandong and Hebei. My dear brother has met Daguanren, but I don't know what kind of person Daguanren is. It’s as luxurious as the rumors.”

Lei Heng said: "The rumors in the martial arts world are true. Do you remember that day when I led troops to inspect the village, the county magistrate asked me to take the leaves of the red leaf tree in Dongxi Village as evidence. The tree is a spiritual plant. The great official has people guarding it and not allowing outsiders to approach. Hearing that I was inspecting the village for my job, he asked people to pick leaves and entertained me and other soldiers with wine and meat. After a night's rest, he personally sent me out of the village."

Seemingly seeing Zhu Tong's intention, Lei Heng continued: "Brother, you don't have much family. If you don't take this opportunity to build a career, you can also have a title for your wife and children in the future. What are you waiting for? You can't surrender to Brother Gongming and seek amnesty."

After hearing this, Zhu Tong also made up his mind. He quietly sold his property. Within half a month, Zhu Tong also resigned from his post. He and Lei Heng hired a few cars, escorted Lei's mother, and set off for Liangshan County.

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed when he heard that the two had come to surrender.

Yang Zhi of Jingmen Town was promoted to the commander of the cavalry camp, and Sun Li and Zhu Tong were both appointed as Du Yuhou. Lei Heng stayed in the small camp on the right side of Baishi Manor as the camp commander, commanding 200 archers.

The two thanked Zhao Zhen, got familiar with Liangshan County, and took office.

Zhao Zhen looked at the Tiangang Disha Order in his hand and was also very happy.
