Water Margin official

The next morning, it was still dark.

A coffin was transported from the back door of Zhang's house to the small courtyard where Zhuo Duer lived.

Putting Zhuo Diur into the coffin, and taking one last deep look at the miserable woman, Zhang Zhengdao said in a low voice: "Cover it."

Zhang Liu, together with several idle helpers brought by Shizilou, closed the heavy coffin lid.

All the women in the mansion were standing in the courtyard, all filled with grief.

After burning some money for Zhuo Diuer, Zhang Zhengdao signaled everyone to disperse.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wei followed him back to the room and told them all the big and small things that happened in the family during this period.

After Zhang Zhengdao listened, he was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "When I was not at home, you suffered a lot!"

Lin asked: "Dalang, where have you been during these days?"

Mrs. Wei was also very curious. Since moving to Zhang's house, Zhang Zhengdao often disappeared for no reason and could not be found.

Zhang Zhengdao hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

Some time ago, Jeju Prefecture sent Huang An to lead three thousand troops to attack Liangshan.

On that day, Liangshan did not block the attack on the water, but led all 2,500 officers and soldiers to the golden beach.

Before the battle began, Liangshan's five hundred men arrayed on the golden beach were shot to pieces by a hail of arrows from the army and retreated into the dry village.

Huang An was overjoyed when he saw this, and not knowing what the plan was, he led 2,500 officers and soldiers, easily rushed onto the golden beach, then set up their formation and advanced into the mountain stronghold.

Just at this moment, hundreds of warships appeared on the water. Ruan Xiaoqi led the Tidal Camp navy and captured all the four to five hundred ships brought by Huang An in one fell swoop.

Huang An, who was attacking Hanzhai, saw that his way back was cut off. Although he was panicked, he still fought hard, hoping to wipe out the bandits in front of him.

Just wait until the thousand neatly formed flying cavalry troops came out from the Shannan Dry Village, and with just one charge, they dispersed the formation of 2,500 officers and soldiers.

During the chaotic battle, Huang An, the training commander of the Jeju regiment, was killed by Bian Xiang with an axe. The remaining officers and soldiers, seeing their commander killed, were so frightened that they abandoned their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

At the same time, Ling Guang and Suo Xian led two thousand attacking troops to Shijie Lake and surrounded the remaining battalion of Jeju horse troops.

The general of the horse army wanted to lead the cavalry out at first, but when the Liangshan army used hundreds of horse ropes, more than a hundred horse soldiers were overturned on the spot, and then captured alive by the minions who swarmed forward.

.

Ling Guang even chopped off the horse army general with one sword, and the remaining officers and soldiers also surrendered.

In this battle, Liangshan led the emperor into a trap with minimal casualties, captured all three thousand Jeju officers and soldiers, and captured them all alive. He also captured 500 good horses. It can be said to be a great victory.

After this battle, Liangshan's reputation spread far and wide, attracting the attention of the state capital.

After arranging the affairs of the village, Zhang Zhengdao was worried about his family, so he hurried down the mountain and returned to Qinghe County.

After telling all these things one by one, the two beautiful women widened their eyes and covered their mouths.

Lin was shocked and asked after a long while: "Dalang, why did you go up the mountain to become a bandit?"

Mrs. Wei also found it difficult to understand this.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled bitterly and said: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to regret it anymore!"

"Now that Liangshan has defeated three thousand Jeju soldiers, it has attracted the attention of the state government. My identity will be discovered sooner or later, so I am coming back this time to pick you up, leave Qinghe County, and live with me in Liangshan." Zhang Zhengdao said seriously.

Tao.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wei looked at each other, and then both sighed.

Mrs. Wei said: "Sister, this rebellion is a serious crime and everyone will be executed. If we don't go to Liangshan, we will be in trouble sooner or later."

Little did Lin know that rebellion was a capital crime, but it was hard to accept it for a while.

Zhang Zhengdao sighed: "You will understand in the future."

Now that the Jurchens are rising, apart from the Koreans who have suffered defeats and know the inside story, the nobles of the Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty are still intoxicated in the romance.

The sky is about to fall, but it is difficult to tell the two women clearly.

"Liangshan has laid down a territory in Goryeo no less than that of Yunzhou. There are now more than 10,000 people living on the island. After a year or two of careful construction, it will be a prosperous place, no worse than Qinghe County." Zhang

Zhengdao smiled.

Mrs. Wei curiously asked: "Officials, do you want to rule the roost in a foreign land?"

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "Yes, I am determined to conquer Korea."

Lin was stunned and speechless.

Mrs. Wei accepted it faster than Mrs. Lin. The beautiful woman asked: "My lord, when are you leaving?"

Zhang Zhengdao thought for a moment and then said: "Seven days later, after burying Diu'er, he packed up the gold and silver in the house and moved his family to Liangshan."

"I'll hide it from my family first, and just say that I'm coming to live in Dengzhou with me," Zhang Zhengdao instructed.

Some time ago, after the imperial court's appointment, Cai Jing indeed transferred Zhang Zhengdao to Dengzhou as the naval commander, in charge of a battalion of naval forces that no one usually remembers.

Zhang Zhengdao is going to settle down his family first, and then decide whether to go to Dengzhou to take up his post after inquiring about the news.

After discussing with the two girls for a while, Zhang Zhengdao came to Yu's room and talked to his mother, who had just given birth to a daughter.

Mrs. Yu was still haggard at this moment. She only spoke for a while and then fell asleep again.

Zhang Zhengdao then went to see Sun Erniang. This woman had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her physical fitness was far better than that of Yu.

After teasing his newborn daughter, Zhang Zhengdao thought of the son Zhuo Diuer gave birth to and asked his maid to hug him too.

Looking at his two newly born children, Zhang Zhengdao felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Sun Erniang said: "Husband, I haven't given the child a name yet!"

Zhang Zhengdao thought for a moment and named his daughter Wen Jing and his son Ping Hai.

Ordinary is a bit ordinary, but it’s good to be healthy and happy.

Then, Zhang Zhengdao called the old housekeeper into the room. After a long confidential conversation, Uncle Zhang left in a hurry, took out all the land deeds and house deeds of the Zhang family, and found a tooth shop in the city to sell them.

In addition to the land and house, Zhang Zhengdao also intends to change hands of several of the Zhang family's shops. If his identity is exposed in the future, he will sooner or later be seized by the government.

Six days later, after all the properties in Qinghe County were sold off, the news spread that Zhang Zhengdao and his family rushed to Dengzhou to take up the post of naval commander.

Although the neighbors were sighing, they did not have too much suspicion.

Early on the morning of the seventh day, Zhuo Diuer was buried with soil in a good Feng Shui land on the mountain behind Shuiyue Temple.

After returning to the city, he took one last look at the Zhang family that had been sold. Zhang Zhengdao waved his hand, and a convoy of more than 20 carriages slowly left Qinghe County while it was still early.

When the motorcade left the south gate of the county town and traveled more than five miles, it suddenly heard the earth shaking, as if thousands of troops and horses were rushing towards it.

All the female relatives in the car, as well as the idle men who had followed them from the Lion House and were acting as car drivers, were all panic-stricken, thinking they had encountered bandits.

There were a thousand soldiers and horses, and from far to near, two burly men with helmets and armor took the lead, urging the horses, rushing out of the team, and coming to the front of the convoy.

At a glance, these two big men saw the familiar person riding a tall white horse in the front with a Taotie mask on his face.

In the horrified look of everyone, the two big men turned over and dismounted at the same time. One of them clasped his fists and shouted: "Bian Xiang, the commander of the flying cavalry army, is here to escort my brother back to the mountain."
