After hearing this, Wu Yong felt a little moved in his heart: "In that case, why do you have to suffer here, general? With Liu Zhizhai, who is harming the people, here, Zong brothers have no use for their martial arts, they are just passing the time here. "

"Official Zhao of Liangshan County often says that his ability to rise from a small village to become the head of a county depends on the efforts of his brothers. But when someone comes to vote, no matter whether they are wise or foolish, they must be properly arranged and make sure they use their talents to the best of their abilities."

After hearing this, Hua Rong said: "I have heard many times about the benefits of high officials. There is also a luxurious person in Yuncheng County, Jeju. He is called Timely Rain Song Gongming. Does the military advisor know about it?"

Seeing Wu Yong nodding, Hua Rong continued: "My younger brother often corresponds with brother Song Gongming. In the past six months, the person mentioned most often is Zhao Daguan of Liangshan County. My younger brother has heard a lot and wanted to visit him. I can only hate Liu Gao. This guy's bad deeds have forced many kind-hearted people to abandon their homes and become bandits. I often patrol the surrounding areas and dare not leave lightly. It's a pity that I can't meet Brother Zhao Zhen today."

Wu Yong said deliberately: "Brother, what you said is true. When we came here, we passed by Qingfeng Mountain. There was a good man on the mountain called [Jinmaohu] Yanshun. I heard that we are under the command of Zhao Zhen, the high official of Liangshan. Please, please I will go up to the mountain and hold a banquet in honor of him. According to what he said, there are indeed many good people on the mountain who have taken refuge with their families."

"Brother Yanshun admires the officials very much and wants to take these people to Liangshan County with me. Because I want to visit Zhizhai and appease him, I will return together in two or three days. There are also some evildoers on the mountain. If you don't take it with you, if you take advantage of this opportunity to raise troops to attack the enemy, you will definitely achieve great success. You can also transfer them to other places so that you can deal with people like Liu Gao every day."

Hua Rong sneered: "It would be great if that's the case. It's not easy to be promoted even if you have meritorious service. I've wiped out these gangsters. For some reason, the gangsters dispersed in Erlong Mountain ahead. I led the troops away. The family only gave me a commendation, not to mention a promotion, and even a reward of not even half a penny. My heart has already dropped."

Wu Yongdao: "I have also heard that Murong Yanda is the brother of the current official family's favorite concubine. He is not a person who makes decisions for the people. He has never been in charge of the life and death of the villagers under his rule. Not to mention that there are people like Xiandi who are highly skilled in martial arts and guard Qingzhou. Wherever they go, there are also the governor of Qin Ming Dynasty [Thunderbolt Fire] and the governor [Zhen Sanshan] Huang Xin, but there are more and more bandits in the Qingzhou Mountains."

"In recent days, a group of forbidden troops have been transferred from Dongping Mansion to station in another dangerous place. The leader of the group is called Yun Tianbiao, but he is a disciple of Taiwei Tong of Bianjing. Apart from anything else, this man's martial arts skills are outstanding. Wait a minute, with this person here and working with my brothers, we will definitely be able to wipe out a lot of bandits in the mountains."

After hearing this, Hua Rong said angrily: "I am just a deputy magistrate. How can I cooperate? I am afraid that I will have to obey orders by then. The magistrate is corrupt, how can I prevent villagers from entering the mountains and becoming bandits?"

"My younger brother, why not resign from the official position and go to Liangshan County to work? There is no need to cater to these corrupt officials. When passing by Yuncheng County, you can also visit Brother Song Gongming."

After that, Wu Yong and the three of them were invited to sit down. The accompanying sergeants are taken care of by Hua Rong's confidants.

After everyone sat down, Hua Rong raised his glass and said, "Prepare a little wine to catch the wind. All brothers, have a drink together."

Just after he drank the wine, Wang Dingliu said "Eh", and Hua Rong said: "But this wine is bland and does not suit the taste of brothers Wang Dingliu. Please change it before drinking." After that, he called for someone to change the wine. .

Wang Dingliu said quickly: "That's not the case. This wine has a unique taste. It seems to be similar to the Huajia Xiaojiu from the official family. I'm surprised."

After saying that, there was a look of astonishment on his face: "Is this also the small wine in [Huajia Baijiu]?"

After hearing this, Hua Rong said: "Yes, this wine is indeed the small wine that brother said. I wonder how a high-ranking official can have this wine?"

Wu Yong took over the conversation and told the story about Yang Lin's exploration of Huangnigang and the purchase of a wine prescription. After hearing this, Hua Rong said: "So that's it. The Hua Yue that the brother mentioned is the clan brother."

Everyone laughed after hearing this.

"It seems that going to Liangshan County is God's will." Hua Rong said.

Wu Yongdao: "Since brothers have made up their minds to go to Liangshan County, some things must be planned in advance. The Yun Tianbiao mentioned earlier originally served in Jingyang Town, which borders Liangshan County. Because his relatives raised 6,000 villagers to attack Liangshan County, and fought with Da Officials and people are enemies, so they stay away from each other."

"I never thought that he would follow the path of a Taiwei and be transferred to Qingzhou, so Jingyang Town would be short of a general manager. Are you interested, brother?"

After hearing this, Hua Rong asked: "This place is not under the rule of a high official. How can I be transferred across state lines?"

"It's still a matter of success or failure. I'll have to discuss it with the high official when I get back. If I can get the high official's father-in-law to take action, I think it will be a success. In this case, I have to wait here for a while. If it succeeds, my brother will be able to take up his post. In this way, Liangshan County will be much more stable and there will be no external disturbances, and the high-ranking officials will implement benevolent policies. If it does not succeed, my brothers will be able to protect Liangshan County together with us. Peace on one side.”

After hearing this, Hua Rong also shouted like Wang Dingliu: "Everything is subject to the arrangements of the military advisor. I am just doing an inventory of the treasury and the troops these days. I will take away everything I can. I can't take advantage of Liu Gao."

Speaking of this, Wu Yong said: "High officials value heroes the most. I wonder if any of my brothers are familiar with them?"

Hua Rong shook his head: "My younger brother only met Song Gongming a few years ago, and with him he met Zhu Dian and Lei Heng, the two captains in the county. These two people are quite skilled in martial arts. Since then, he has been working in Qingfeng I am an official in the village, but I have never recognized a few heroes."

Wu Yong said: "In that case, I will say goodbye tomorrow and go to Qingfeng Village to join the Yanshun brothers and return to Liangshan County early to plan. In this way, we can see our brothers as soon as possible."

It was decided that Wu Yong and others would rest for the night, have breakfast the next day, and say goodbye to Hua Rong.

Hua Rong sent Wu Yong and others out of the house: "Military advisor, I was thinking last night that although Yan Shun and his group were disguised, they were not from serious military backgrounds. If someone found out, they would inevitably have to fight. I'm afraid It’s not beautiful if there are casualties. It’s better to stay with me for a while.”

Wu Yong said: "Brother, I have already sent people back first. If the officials believe me, they will definitely send troops to meet them halfway. Brother Yanshun is also cleaning up the stronghold. The people there are mixed and delayed for a long time, which is not good. ”

Hua Rong listened and said: "In that case, the military advisor will be careful all the way. I will wait here to be summoned by the high-ranking officials."

Not to mention Hua Rong went back home to check inventory and pack his luggage. It is only said that Wu Yong and his party left Qingfeng Village and rode straight to Qingfeng Mountain.

After joining Yanshun, Wu Yong and others spent another three days counting the personnel, giving gold and silver, and dismissed some of the thieves whose nature was difficult to change, while the rest were incorporated into the army. The grain, grass, gold, silver, cloth, and silk from the treasury were all loaded onto the cart. After the group left Qingfeng Mountain, they waved the flag of Yanggu County Xiang Army and headed straight to Liangshan County in the southwest along the official road.
