Sui Sheng, Qiao Daoqing, Sun An, and Shan Shiqi are all talented generals, and among them Sun An is the best.

If he hadn't been intercepted halfway, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before Sun An would go to Weisheng Prefecture to defect to his friend Qiao Daoqing, and then be recommended to Na Tian Hu. Later, because of his meritorious service in resisting the enemy, he would be worshiped as the "Palace Commander"

, which shows that his talents are extraordinary.

Zhang Zhengdao was not in a hurry to arrange the four people's duties. After taking a sip of tea, he slowly asked: "Brother Du Qian, where have you been for more than a year, and how did you find these heroes?"

Du Qian replied: "Since that day, upon being sent by the leader of the village, my brother Shi Qian and I left Gaotang Prefecture and prepared to go to Hedong Road. We first went to Baodu Mountain to recruit leader Wen Zhongrong and others to go up the mountain."
"The two younger brothers discussed it and decided to go to Linqing first, then go to Mingzhou, Xiangzhou, and then turn west to Baodu Mountain." Du Qian said.

"I bumped into brothers Ling Guang and Suo Xian on the streets of Mingzhou City. Seeing that they were quite capable, I invited them to have a drink together," Du Qian said.

Ling Guang stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to my brother's introduction, brother Suo Xian and I are as majestic as we are today. I'm so grateful to you for your kindness."

Suo Xian also stood up and clasped his fists in thanks.

Du Qian smiled and said: "The two brothers are very capable. If they were to surrender to the cruel Tian Hu, wouldn't it be a secret betrayal?"

Ling Guang solemnly said: "The leader of the village is benevolent and has entrusted my brothers with important responsibilities. I only have one life in this life to repay the kindness of all my brothers."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "We are all brothers, don't be so polite. Brother Du Qian, please continue."

After receiving the village leader's order, Du Qian glanced at Sui Sheng and said with a smile: "After leaving Mingzhou, before I expected it, I bumped into Brother Sui Sheng carrying a giant ax at the dock in Ci County."

Shi Qian interrupted and said with a smile: "My younger brother saw that his face was purple and fleshy, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells. He didn't look like a good man, so he followed him all the way, and then he took the sheep and took away brother Suisheng's money bag."

Si Sheng smiled and said: "Brother Shi Qian is really good at calculating. He took my money and settled the ship fare for me. He even treated me to a drink and made a fuss for a long time. All he spent was my money."

Du Qian said apologetically: "Don't be surprised if I win, brother. If this were not the case, it would be difficult to establish friendship with him. We two brothers cannot withstand the heavy ax in your hand."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Fu Sheng touched his head and said: "I am from Jingnan. I came to Hebei East Road because I was escorting a rich man. I wanted to make some money and go back to my hometown. Unexpectedly, I lost my money bag and was arrested again.

Brother Du Qian hired them eloquently and escorted them all the way to Baodu Mountain."

Zhang Zhengdao suddenly realized that this was how Du Qian and Shi had tricked Sui Sheng into winning his side.

Du Qian continued: "With brother Sui Sheng accompanying him to strengthen his courage, he went straight to Baodu Mountain and met the three brothers Wen Zhongrong, Cui Ye and Ni Gong. After a contest, the three brothers agreed to defect to Dazhai. ”

"Subsequently, in Lucheng, Longde Prefecture, we found out about the whereabouts of brother Bian Xiang, and invited him to join us," Du Qian said.

Bian Xiang grinned and said: "If I had not been able to defeat brother Si Sheng, I would not have taken brothers Lu Zhen and Kou Chen up the mountain."

Du Qian smiled and said: "Master of the village, I have to thank my brother Sisheng for his help in this trip. If Shi Qian and I were there, we would have been lost halfway and would not be able to complete the important task of the village."

Wei Sheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the employment money of one thousand gu, I wouldn't follow you around so easily."

Du Qian said sternly: "Master of the village, in order to hire brother Sui Sheng, I promised to pay you a thousand dollars."

Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile: "I want to give this money. Later, I will ask the treasury to allocate silver coins and give them to Brother Suisheng."

Seeing that Zhang Zhengdao agreed, Du Qian put aside his worries and continued: "I heard that Tian Hu was quite famous in Weisheng State, and wanted to go to recruit him, but I heard from many people that he is cruel and not a good man. , they bypassed Weisheng, rushed to Yushe, and invited Mr. Fang to join the team."

"Then on the way to Qinzhou, I met Brother Fu Xiang and invited him to join Dazhai." Shi Qian said.

Du Qian nodded and said: "In Qinyuan County, I found Brother Shan Shiqi, but he is from a wealthy family, so naturally he doesn't want to come to Liangshan to join the gang."

Shan Shiqi answered: "Although I hit it off with my three elder brothers, I never thought of coming to Liangshan Dazhai for a reunion."

"It's just that fate is not as good as fate. Because I was fighting for a piece of land with the wife's brother of the magistrate of Qinyuan County, I accidentally beat him to death. The younger brother was arrested by the government and imprisoned in the death row. The three leaders broke through the county government prison and rescued the younger brother. , so we came to Liangshan." Shan Shiqi smiled bitterly.

Du Qian said: "Thanks to Taoist Master Qiao's help in this matter, we were able to escape from Qinyuan County safely."

Qiao Daoqing said with a smile: "I live anonymously with my mother in Qinyuan County. I didn't expect that the Shan Shiqi brothers would be in such a disaster. I just provided a little help and didn't put in much effort. I don't dare to take credit."

Du Qian smiled and said: "If there is no help from the Taoist priest, I'm afraid the few of us will be trapped in the city again."

Shan Shiqi also said: "Thank you, Taoist Master, for saving my life."

Qiao Daoqing shook his head and said: "I can't bear the dust of a good man, but if I want to live in seclusion this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to."

Du Qian laughed and said: "After breaking through Qinyuan County, we were ready to return to Liangshan, but on the way we met Brother Sun An who came after hearing the news."

Sun An stood up and said, "To avenge my father, I killed two of my enemies. The government was pursuing me urgently, so I abandoned my family and fled. On the border of Qinqin Prefecture, I heard about my brother and inquired about him along the way. Fortunately, I met him halfway. That’s why we came to Liangshan together.”

After hearing everyone explain the whole story, Zhang Zhengdao said with emotion: "It is fate that these good guys can come to my village."

"We, Liangshan, have always established our stronghold with benevolence and righteousness, 'doing justice for heaven' and 'rewarding the good and punishing the evil'. It's not just words, so many leaders follow us!" Zhang Zhengdao glanced at the people in the hall and smiled: "Liangshan

The prestige we have today is all due to the persistence of our brothers."

After pondering for a while, Zhang Zhengdao arranged: "Four heroes are brave enough to lead an army. However, there are fewer soldiers in the stronghold now, and there are not enough to form a new army."<

/p>

"In this way, Brother Suisheng goes to the Flying Cavalry Army first and trains the Cavalry Army with Brother Bian Xiang. What do you think?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

But Wei Sheng shook his head and said: "The village master's order is true, but I have been away from Jingnan for more than a year, and I am worried about my mother at home, so I want to go back and bring her back first."

Zhang Zhengdao thought for a moment and said: "Filial piety is the first priority. Bringing Nainao to the village is a top priority. Why not stay for a few days and I will go with you then."

Everyone was surprised when they heard that Zhang Zhengdao was going down the mountain again, and that he was going to Jingnan. Fang Xuedu suggested: "The leader of the village is the leader of the village. How can he do anything lightly? It is better to give more instructions to Brother Suisheng."

He sent some people to return to Jingnan with him."

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and said: "I know what the military advisor means. Even if there is no matter about the victory of the brothers, I still intend to go to Jingnan to recruit more leading soldiers for my stronghold."

"Now, the country of Goryeo is empty. If we don't take advantage of the situation, I'm afraid we won't have such a good opportunity again in the future." Zhang Zhengdao's eyes shone brightly and he said in a deep voice: "We have dozens of generals in Liangshan, but we have very few soldiers.

Horses, there are countless small and large forts in the Jingnan area. If we can recruit thousands of troops and horses."

"The Kingdom of Korea will be under my rule in Liangshan within two or three years." Zhang Zhengdao's hearty voice echoed in the Juyi Hall.
