After repelling the pursuers of Daming Mansion, there were no obstacles along the way.

That night, when the army was encamped, Chao Gai held a banquet in the tent and invited the Holy Water General Shan Tinggui, the Divine Fire General Wei Dingguo, and the vanguard Suo Chao.

When Chao Gai saw the three people entering the tent, he stood up and said, "Please invite the three generals to the table."

Wei Dingguo glanced at Chao Gai and said: "Now that we have been defeated and captured, we just want to die."

Chao Gai said with a smile: "We and other heroes gather together in Liangshan. Gai's reason is unknown to the imperial court. He condones abuse of officials, tyrannical officials, and cruelty to good people. We are all willing to help Chao Gai, uphold justice for heaven, kill corrupt officials, and save the people. But this is not ordinary."

If the three generals don’t give up on the grass bandits who robbed their homes and homes, they can gather together with us to uphold justice and uphold justice for heaven.”

Qin Ming came over and grabbed Suo Chao and said, "You and I had a great time fighting each other during the day. Let's get drunk together tonight."

After saying that, he pulled Suo Chao towards the banquet.

Yang Zhi also came over and said: "We have been separated from Daming Mansion for a long time, and today we just want to talk about what happened after we said goodbye."

Suo Chao couldn't get in the way of the two of them, so he had no choice but to sit at the table together.

Other leaders also came to invite Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo.

However, Wei Dingguo shook them off and said: "Seniors can be killed but not humiliated. Please do as you please when you want to kill or behead them."

After saying that, he walked out.

"This guy doesn't know a good person, so I'm going to give him two axes."

Li Kui was waiting to have a drink. Seeing Wei Dingguo being so rude, he stood up and chased outside.

Chao Yong quickly grabbed Li Kui and said, "It's okay, just go and have a drink."

Shan Tinggui hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "The leaders are so kind, I shouldn't refuse. But Wei Dingguo is a brave man. If forced, he would rather die than be humiliated. I will go to persuade Wei Dingguo first, and wait for him to be persuaded."

He and I surrendered to Dazhai together."

When Chao Gai heard this, he smiled and said: "Then General Laodan is here. I will ask someone to send you some food and wine. If you have family members, please write a letter and I will ask someone to bring it to you, so as not to be killed by those dogs."

Harmed by officials."

Shan Tinggui heard this and quickly thanked Chao Gai.

However, Chao Gai did not let anyone tie them up, and set up a separate tent for them, but there were two soldiers guarding it outside.

Shan Tinggui returned to the camp and saw that Wei Dingguo had gone back to his tent first, so he said: "Now the court is unclear, the world is in chaos, and the treacherous ministers are taking power. We are defeated and captured today, so why not surrender to King Chao Tian for the time being, and work together to do justice for heaven, and the treacherous ministers will be gone soon."

We will wait for King Xiang Chao to recruit you. It will not be too late to serve the court at that time."

Wei Dingguo said: "What if he doesn't want to recruit people?"

Shan Tinggui said with a smile: "King Chao Tian was also from a wealthy family before, but he was forced to resign because he robbed Cai Jing's birth date. How could he want to be a grassroots bandit all his life? Now that Cai Jing has become an official, he will definitely be willing to recruit him if he has the opportunity."

Wei Dingguo added: "Even if he is willing to recruit peace, Liangshan has repeatedly robbed the state and plundered the government, and the imperial court may not be willing to grant a favor."

Shan Tinggui said with a smile: "Because the Liangshan soldiers and horses repeatedly robbed the state and plundered the government, the imperial court had to issue an order to recruit them. Now the Holy Lord is focused on joining forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and regain the sixteen states of Yanyun. The Liangshan soldiers and horses are unable to destroy them for a while.

Before the army goes north, the imperial court must first calm down the civil strife. At that time, it will definitely recruit peace, and if we can't do it, we can still go to the battlefield to conquer Liao."

When Wei Dingguo heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved.

While he was talking, Chao Gai's soldiers had already brought in wine and food.

Shan Tinggui said: "King Chao Tian is magnanimous in his actions. Even if you and I go to Liangshan, we will be better off than those civil servants in the state."

Seeing that Chao Gai didn't care about his previous rudeness, Wei Dingguo also felt secretly ashamed. He stood up and said, "I didn't expect Chao Tianwang to have such a large number, so I'm going to apologize."

Shan Tinggui also knew Wei Dingguo's temperament, so he immediately followed Wei Dingguo to the big tent again.

When Chao Gai saw the two men coming back, he quickly got up and came to greet them.

Wei Dingguo bowed his head to the ground and said: "King Chao Tian is well-deserved. I am willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."

Chao Gai hurriedly helped Wei Dingguo up and said with a smile: "It's great that there are three more generals in the village. Please come to the table, everyone, and congratulate us on this."

The next day, Chao Gai asked three people to persuade the captured officers and soldiers to join the army, and those who did not want to join the army were dismissed.

Suo Chao said that more than a thousand troops from Daming Mansion were sent down, but most of the troops under Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo were killed, and only about 300 people were captured. Although all of them were willing to continue to follow the two, there were not many left.

, the two could only return to the mountain to train again.

The next day, when the army arrived at Dongchang Mansion, Lin Chong and others had already packed up the money and food in the city, and just waited for the army to arrive before returning to the mountain together.

Lin Chong and others welcomed the leaders to the government office, and couldn't help but ask, "Where's that guy Gao Lian?"

Chao Gai smiled and said, "I'll keep it for you. Someone, bring Gao Lian up."

Gao Lian has been imprisoned since he was captured. He originally thought that the Liangshan bandits were imprisoning him to find a way to recruit him through his brother Gao Qiu. Now that he was brought up, he saw Lin Chong watching eagerly, and then he remembered that after Gaotang City was destroyed,

He had never seen Lin Chong, and he suddenly felt like he was dead.

When Lin Chong saw Gao Lian, he suddenly burst into anger. He stepped forward and grabbed Gao Lian. While dragging him out, he gritted his teeth and said: "You two harmful and thieves brothers, if I don't kill you alive today, it's hard to get rid of the anger in my heart."

hatred."

Gao Lian hurriedly struggled desperately and shouted: "King Chao Tian, ​​help me. As long as you spare my life, I will ask my brother to ask Liangshan for an imperial edict to recruit all the leaders to serve as officials in the court."

When Wu Yong heard this, his eyes lit up and he shouted: "Master Lin, wait a minute."

When Lin Chong heard Wu Yong shouting to stop, he couldn't help but frowned, but he still stopped and said, "What are the military advisor's orders?"

As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, Gao Lian hurriedly said: "As long as the heroes spare my life, I will write a book for my brother and ask him to ask for an imperial edict."

When Lin Chong heard him calling, he slapped Gao Lian on the mouth and scolded: "Shut up."

Lin Chong, who was already very strong, struck out with anger and slapped Gao Lian. His mouth was filled with blood and he spit out several teeth.

Wu did not look at the angry Lin Chong, but said to Chao Gai: "Although we have many soldiers in Liangshan now, it is time to find a way out. Now that Cai Jing has taken office, there is no one in the court who can harm us."

If this person can be recruited by the imperial court, all brothers will have a way out."

Hu Yanzhuo, Shan Tinggui and other surrendered generals couldn't help but look at Chao Gai after hearing this.

Before Chao Gai could say anything, Li Kui had already shouted: "It's a very good thing. I can't be asked to serve those bird officials again. I only recognize brother Chao Tianwang and brother Yong. If someone asks me to serve them, they will eat me first."

An axe."

Wu Song also shouted: "Brothers are gathered together. We are about to do justice for heaven, kill corrupt officials, and save the people. Don't let your brothers' hearts be cold."
