Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

It is said that Shi Qian left Qingfeng Mountain with half of his troops that day, and drove straight to Liangshan County at high speed, but he was speechless on the road.

Zhao Zhen saw him and asked, "Brother, why are you back alone?"

Shi Qian said: "Sir, I was ordered by the military advisor to take custody of these peach trees, and to ask the senior officials to send troops to respond."

At the moment, Shi Qian explained the trip to Qingzhou in detail.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "I just wanted to have all the heroes in Qingzhou be more vigilant and be wary of Yun Tianbiao. Unexpectedly, two more heroes joined us. I am very happy. In this case, I will mobilize the troops. I have to work hard, brother, to lead the way.”

Shi Qian nodded in agreement, and Zhao Yuanli stepped forward and asked Zhuang Ding to take over the horse, unload the peach wood tied to the horse, and send it to the warehouse.

Here Zhao Zhen wrote a general order to mobilize the troops of Lin Chong and Wang Tianba. Both troops took off their horse armors and wore only their shirts. They would assemble early tomorrow morning and travel lightly.

Zhao Zhen called Xiao Rang and Zhu Wu and gave them some instructions. Zhu Wu heard that Zhao Zhen was going to lead the troops in person and said, "A high official is the master of a county and must not touch him lightly. Coach Lin is a meticulous man. It's enough for him to take the trip on behalf of the senior officials."

Xiao Rang echoed.

Zhao Zhen said: "These two people came to join me because of my reputation. If I don't go, I'm afraid his subordinates will be uneasy. Besides, we will be under the banner of the official army along the way and only take the official road. There are Lin Chong, Wang Tianba and others." Stay safe and protected.”

Seeing that Zhao Zhen's plan had been decided, Xiao Rang couldn't persuade him, so he had to ask: "I wonder how many days will it take for the officials to return? How much food and grass should be prepared?"

Zhao Zhen said: "The military advisor once told brother Shi Qian that after he left, he would have to go back in three to five days at most. Brother Shi Qian left after five days and returned. After all, the sergeant has probably already set off. He wants to lead a group of people. All the minions will definitely come on foot. I expect to meet him in Laiwu County and be back in seven or eight days."

"Furthermore, this trip will pass through Tai'an Prefecture, which is a good stop for the temple fair. I will take brother Jiao Ting and brother Duan Jingzhu with me and leave them to do some research here for March 28th. Make some preparations for Japanese sumo wrestling.”

"After I left, the brothers and others took care of the county affairs by themselves. There were many minions and their families in Qingfeng Mountain. After I left, Xiao asked the brothers to choose places to build villages or build houses in vacant areas of each village. After the people came, Set it up early. I still have to worry about brother Zhu Wu."

After hearing this, the two of them cupped their hands and said, "Don't worry, senior official, I will understand."

At night, after dinner, Cheng Wan'er put the old lady to bed first, while the couple chatted in the living room. Cheng Wan'er said: "Ms. sir, listen to the housekeeper, are you going out tomorrow?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Yes, there are heroes in Qingzhou who have brought more than a thousand people to surrender. I will lead people to respond."

Hu Sanniang said: "Who will the officer take?"

"Both Coach Lin and Wang Tianba were on horseback. They only wore their shirts and left lightly." Zhao Zhen replied.

"Since the cavalry army is going, the officials also take me and the Zhuangshang women's cavalry team with them. We can also take care of the officials' daily life along the way."

Cheng Wan'er also said: "With my sister by my side, I and the others can feel more at ease at home."

Zhao Zhen thought there would be no war, so he agreed to take Hu Sanniang and others with him.

Early the next morning, the cavalry team gathered together, carrying enough gold and silver, and three to five days of dry food. They were divided into two groups, one hour apart, and headed towards Qingzhou Mansion under the leadership of Shi Qian.

After stopping and walking, they arrived at Tai'an Mansion on the evening of the second day. Zhao Zhen and others did not enter the city, but set up camp five miles away from the city. After a night's rest, Jiao Ting and Duan Jingzhu were left behind. Zhao Zhen and others ran non-stop to Laiwu County. Because they were under the banner of Yanggu County, no one came to question them along the way. On the night of the third day, everyone arrived at Laiwu County, but unfortunately they did not meet Wu Yong and his party.

After setting up camp, Zhao Zhen summoned Lin Chong, Wang Tianba, Luan Tingfang, Ni Gong, and Shi Qian: "Brothers, I haven't met the sergeant and his party today. It seems that his journey there is slow, and we have to go forward." Come on. Pick some people and go shopping in the city tomorrow, and we'll continue heading west."

Lin Chong said: "Officials, how about I take a hundred people to go ahead tomorrow, one man and two horses, non-stop along the way, how about meeting with the military advisor first?"

Zhao Zhen said: "In this case, the team will be divided into three sections. I and brother Wang Tianba will continue to follow at this speed. The hundred people without horses will be led by brother Luan Tingfang and stay here."

After some discussion, everyone dispersed, buried pots to make food, and arranged to camp.

The next day, Lin Chong and Shi Qian led the team on their way early. Zhao Zhen went into the city to buy food and grass, leaving Luan Tingfang with a hundred people behind, and then chased Lin Chong away.

After traveling for half a day, they came across a group of carriages and horses that stopped. Hu Sanniang's female cavalry served as sentinels, and they found out early on that it was Wu Yong and his party who had come here to get some food.

After seeing the gift, Yan Shun knelt down on the ground and crossed his arms: "I am lucky to meet a high official today. If the high official does not give up, but there is a use for a villain, I will dare to go through mountains of fire and seas of swords."

Zhao Zhen quickly helped him up: "I have heard the name of brother for a long time, and now I can see you, I am very happy. Brother, don't worry, I have my brothers here."

"For the high official, the low man and the Yanshun brothers are just the same. If you have a full meal, the low man will be full of blood and sell it to the high official."

Zhao Zhen raised his head and said: "This must be the four brothers of [Dangerous Dao God] Yubao. There are such majestic men in the world."

Wu Yong stepped forward and said, "Sir, this is not the place to talk. How about we take some dry food and get to Laiwu County as soon as possible, and then we can talk?"

Zhao Zhen said: "What the military advisor said is that Brother Luan Tingfang is taking over from the front. At least they have set up a camp there. Let's rest there for the night and go back tomorrow."

After that, Zhao Zhen and others also ate some dry food, watered the war horses, and then escorted the men and horses back.

On the way, Wu Yong told Zhao Zhen about the second half of this trip to Qingzhou. When he heard that Wu Yong wanted to seek the position of Jingyang Town for Hua Rong, he said, "I'm afraid that Old Taishan can't mobilize troops across the prefecture?"

Wu Yong shook his feather fan and said, "Sir, you might as well give it a try. Yun Tianbiao followed the path of General Tong, and the old man is also a disciple of General Tong. Why not give it a try? If it doesn't work, there is no loss. If it works, with Brother Hua Rong here, Jingyang Town will also be under the rule of the Sir in the future."

Zhao Zhen listened and nodded. At that time, while he was resting on the road, he wrote a letter and used the seal. He called Shi Qian and Wang Dingliu, and asked them to take the lead and return to Liangshan County, asking the eldest lady Cheng Wan'er to persuade the old lady to persuade Cheng Wanli of Taishan to mobilize Hua Rong.

After Shi Qian and Wang Dingliu received the order, they took the letter and rode away.

Zhao Zhen and his men rested in Laiwu County for another day, and then they slowly walked back with the carriages and people. After another day, they arrived at Tai'an Prefecture.

After setting up camp, Zhao Zhen was about to send someone to the city to look for Jiao Ting and Duan Jingzhu, but the two had already entered the camp to see Zhao Zhen, and behind them, there was a ragged man.
