On the second day, after breakfast, Zhao Zhen and Wu Yong invited brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng as well as Fan Rui, Li Gun and Xiang Chong. After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen said: "Yesterday, the Tong family brothers decided to go to brothers Ruan Xiaowu and Ouyang Shoutong to serve as governors in the army. Today, I called brother Fan Rui here and decided on a job. I wonder if the three brothers have any ideas. ?”

Fan Rui said: "We sincerely come to vote for the high official and ask the high official to make arrangements."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Fan Rui, you are a Taoist practitioner. There are also two heroes in the county. One is called [Ruyunlong] Gongsun Sheng, and the other is [Huanmojun] Qiao Daoqing. Both of them are currently practicing Taoism at Tianqi Temple in Liangshan. On weekdays, Refining elixirs and cultivating Taoism, and only accompanying the army as counselor when necessary. I wonder if my brother wants to go to Tianqi Temple to practice Taoism or become a battalion commander in the army?"

Fan Rui said: "But Mr. Yiqing?"

Zhao Zhen nodded.

Fan Rui said: "I also went to Erxian Mountain Zixu Temple to learn Taoism. Unfortunately, Master Luo refused to see me because my earthly relationship was not over. Now it would be best to ask Mr. Yiqing for advice."

Zhao Zhen said: "If that's the case, I'm going to invite five brothers to visit various places in Liangshan today. I'll send someone to talk to my senior brother Gongsun Sheng first so that he can make preparations."

Fan Rui said: "Listening to the tone of the senior officials, do they also have their own principles?"

"Senior Brother Gongsun saw that I had some moral integrity and taught me some techniques. I taught them to Master Luo a few days ago, and now I am regarded as a named disciple of Master Luo. Senior Brother Yiqing teaches me skills on his behalf," Zhao Zhen said. With that said, Zhao Zhen looked at Li Gun and Xiang Chong.

Li Gun and Xiang Chong looked at each other and said, "Master, at yesterday's banquet, we had a great chat with Bao Xu and Yan Shude, and we would like to serve as a small school in their army."

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "I see that there are many capable men under your original subordinates, especially those 500 gun swordsmen and 500 regiment card players. It is a pity that they are scattered in all directions. I discussed this with the military advisor. All the thousands of soldiers have been retained and combined with the original 300 Pu Dao soldiers and 200 [Chongfengdu], with Jiao Ting as the commander, Bao Xu and Yan Shude as the Du Yuhou, and you two as the camp commander. The remaining sergeants were also distributed in various places. The family members who came with them were all sent to Shanglaozhuang Township. The population here is sparse and they can be resettled. What do the three brothers think? "

Fan Rui, Li Gun and Xiang Chong were all happy after hearing this.

Xiang Chong also had ordinary attributes, but he learned the art of flying knives and a single-handed flat spear. He used a fine iron shield, a fire-tip spear, and twenty-four red silk flying knives, all of which were not advanced weapons.

Zhao Zhen said: "Whenever a hero comes to my place, in addition to a spiritual fish and a few silver coins, each of them must also have a tailor-made weapon. It is my wish. I will call five brothers over today and go with me first. When I went to the weapons inspection room, Tang Long, the [Golden Leopard] I saw yesterday, has been waiting for a long time."

With that said, everyone went to the military prison and stated their requirements. When Li Gun and Xiang Chong talked about their shields, Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, I have a few first-level shields here. You two Let’s take a look, can we use it?”

With that said, Zhao Zhen took two [Soul-Absorbing Snake Bone Shields] from Zhuang Ding and handed them over. Li Gun and Li Gun picked up the shields and waved them around, saying happily: "Master, these shields are polished very carefully. Take advantage of it, it looks like it’s made of animal bones?”

Zhao Zhen told the story of how he killed the green anaconda. After listening to it, the two couldn't put it down even more with the bone shield in their hands.

After ordering their respective weapons, Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Ji to lead the five people to look around. The sergeants and family members who came with them have also been resettled today.

After seeing off the five people, Zhao Zhen and Wu Yong returned to Baishi Manor, took Jiao Ting, Yu Baosi, and Hu Qidu with them, and went to the northern water village to board the warship led by Liu Lin, and sailed all the way to Shijie Village. Rush in the direction.

Although Zhu Wu sent a pigeon letter from Shijie Lake yesterday, informing Zhao Zhen that 2,000 soldiers from Jeju, under the command of Zhang Yong, the military and horse supervisor, had entered the adjacent Wangtai Township. Arresting the ships of our department, we prepared to enter Shijie Lake from Qinghe River under the leadership of our arrest envoy He Tao. We were led by Zhang Yong himself and came from Shijie Village by land. We were prepared to make two routes.

Zhao Zhen was busy hosting a banquet for Tong Wei and the five people yesterday. After the arrangements were made today, he was thinking about it and arranged Liu Lin's navy early. The oars rowed together and finally arrived at Ruan Xiaowu's house in Shijie Lake during the application time. Water camp.

When Zhao Zhen arrived, the water village was empty. Only thirty or fifty descendants of Shijie Village were guarding it. After Zhao Zhen inquired, he found out that early this morning, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoer led the fleet to set off. Oh, if I hadn't seen the big flag on Zhao Zhen's ship, the smoke would have been set off long ago.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen did not stop. He first sent two speedboats to Shijie Village to inquire about the news. Zhao Zhen and others then went there.

When Zhao Zhen arrived, he saw the whole Shijie Village was noisy. When Zhao Zhen looked, he saw Lin Chong and others on the shore escorting the prisoners back, and the Shijie Village households were surrounding them and pointing.

When Zhao Zhen landed, Zhu Wu, Lin Chong, Wang Tianba, and Qin Ming came up to greet him. Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to ask, Zhu Wu said: "Your Majesty, early this morning, we are waiting in ambush. At the misty border, when Zhang Yong came out from Wangtai Township, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and took the right guard army led by Wang Tianba's brother as the vanguard. The three battalions of horse troops rushed into the formation and defeated the Jeju soldiers and horses in one battle. "

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Can Zhang Yong be captured?"

Qin Ming said: "It's a pity that this guy is not a brave man. When he saw so many horse troops, he abandoned his troops and horses, turned around and ran away."

Zhao Zhen heard this and said, "Didn't you say that this guy is very skilled in martial arts? Why is he so timid?"

Zhu Wu said: "Among the captured sergeants, there are two confidants brought by this guy from Xuzhou. I have inquired about it. Although this guy has some martial arts skills, he is not very capable. He only has some connections in Tokyo, so he came here to become a The soldiers and horses are all in charge.”

"What's going on with the Shuilu Ruan brothers?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Zhu Wudao: "Don't worry, senior officials. He Tao, whom the Ruan brothers have known since childhood, is just forcing the fishermen to fight in their boats. He is no match for the Ruan brothers in the water. Why don't we invite Ruan Dianli?" The commander sent two guides to take two boats to explore. "

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen sent someone to Ruandian and arranged for people to go and investigate.

In Shijie Village, villagers were helping to count and move the captured supplies. Many armors were covered with blood stains. These were newly removed from the corpses, and the damaged and intact ones were separated.

Zhao Zhen waited in the village for about two sticks of incense, and then Ruan Dian came in with a few people.

I saw a sergeant in front of me cupping his hands towards Zhao Zhen and saying, "My lord, the water battle is a great victory."

Zhao Zhen said: "You are from Ruan Xiaoer's camp. I remember your name is Guifu, right?"

Guifu listened to Zhao Zhen's words and said excitedly: "This little man is Guifu. I don't want the officials to still remember."

Zhao Zhen said: "Now among the navy, you are the eight most outstanding people. You are proficient in all water arts and have strong martial arts. Although I have only met three or five times, I don't know. Guifu, She Lu, Yu Shou, Bi Xi, Luo Fu, Peng Gui, Qiu An, and Shan Kang are called the Eight Big Crabs, right?"

Guifu said: "Exactly, She Lu and I were working in the water camp under the command of Ruan Xiaoer. Today we fought with the Jeju group. Commander Ruan Xiaowu led me and several other soldiers with good water skills, and with the help of the defenders The water scuttled more than a dozen larger fishing boats behind them, blocking the Jeju boatmen in Shijie Lake in one fell swoop. Together with the more than 800 fishermen who were recruited to support the boats, Ruan has not let any of them go. The commander is escorting the prisoners here, so I can go ahead and report the news."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said to Zhu Wu: "Brother is right. As expected, the Ruan brothers will capture all the naval forces coming this way."

After saying that, he asked: "Is He Tao dead or alive?"

Guifu said: "Seeing that things were going badly, this man took off his armor, jumped off the boat and swam to the shore. Commander Ruan Xiaowu carried him aboard by his hair and was being held in custody in the cabin."
