Qingfeng Village is located in front of Qingfeng Mountain. The place where it is located is called Qingfeng Town. There are 5,000 residents, all of whom are soldiers. When necessary, all men must become soldiers to fight.
However, there are generally only more than 3,000 strong men participating in the training. Of course, these men do not train every day, but two days a month. Even so, Qingfeng Village is already a rare elite soldier in the Song Dynasty. They were stationed here to resist the Liao people.
, now it is mainly to suppress the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain, Taohua Mountain, and Erlong Mountain.
There are two Zhizhai in Qingfeng Village, one is Wenzhizhai, named Liu Gao, and the other is Wuzhizhai, named Xiao Li Guanghuarong.
Liu Gao was mainly responsible for civil affairs, and Hua Rong was in charge of leading troops in war.
After Murong Yanda's order was issued, it first went into the hands of Liu Gao. Liu Gao immediately called Hua Rong over and ordered Hua Rong to send troops to Liangshanbo.
In the Song Dynasty, the status of civil servants was much higher than that of military officers, so although they were all Zhizhai, Liu Gao could command Hua Rong.
Hua Rong frowned and said: "Qingfeng Village is not under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture, so why should we carry out Murong Yanda's order?"
Liu Gao was furious and said: "Prefect Murong is a Shangguan, and our Qingfeng Village is on the border of Qingzhou, how can we disobey his order?"
Hua Rong said: "If you want to go, you can go. I won't go anyway."
Liu Gao sneered and said: "Okay, okay, in this case, I will report to Magistrate Murong, saying that you are secretly in contact with Liang Shanbo and are a good friend of the leader of Liang Shanbo, so you are unwilling to destroy Liang Shanbo. When the time comes, the court will blame you.
But you, and even your family will be killed, no man, woman, age or child will be spared!"
Hua Rong was angry and glared at Liu Gao, while Liu Gao held his head high and sneered.
In the end, Hua Rong had no choice but to accept the order and said: "I will take the soldiers to Liangshanbo."
After Hua Rong left, Liu Gao ridiculed: "These warriors are usually crude and rough. I thought they still had some strength, but when it comes to using them, they all turn away. These warriors are really a shame to the country!"
The literati in the Song Dynasty generally looked down on warriors, and Liu Gao naturally looked down on Hua Rong from the bottom of his heart.
Hua Rong returned home, feeling extremely unhappy. Mrs. Hua Rong said, "Husband, what happened?"
Hua Rong said: "Qingzhou Prefecture actually ordered me to encircle Liangshan Po."
The lady said: "Then go."
Hua Rong said: "You are a woman, what do you know? The big leader of Liangshanbo is Wu Dalang of Qinghe. He has a great reputation in the world. People say that his benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled and his righteousness is as high as the sky. This is the person I admire the most.
Hero, now let me go to Liangshanbo to encircle and suppress him, how can I be willing in my heart?"
The lady pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Could it be Wu Dalang of Qinghe who is known as Shandong Shiyu? I remembered it. Now he is indeed a famous person. Someone from my hometown wrote to me a few days ago, praising Wu Dalang. Encirclement and suppression of such a heroic figure
, even if we win, the people will be stabbed in the back.”
It turns out that Wu Dong's reputation has spread all over Shandong Province. Mrs. Hua Rong was originally from a farm family, and several of her relatives went to Liangshan. Someone once wrote to her. I didn't think of it before, but now I suddenly realized that "Qinghe Wu Dalang"
"Even the timely rain that people say is timely rain seems to be a bit troublesome at the moment.
Hua Rong said: "It's impossible not to go. That bitch Liu Gao keeps staring at me. That's all. I'll just show off and walk around Liangshanbo and treat it as a fight."
At that moment, Hua Rong led 2,000 men and horses toward Liangshanbo. The march was extremely slow, and it took him only half a month to cover half of the distance. It was not until Murong Yanda and Liu Gao urged him again that Hua Rong quickened his pace.

Above Liangshan, Lin Chong was training his troops.
Now he is letting the soldiers train their formations based on the knowledge Wu Dong said.
At the beginning, Lin Chong was very puzzled and didn't understand what the purpose of this was.
"Even if our formation is neater than the imperial guard of honor, what use will it have during battle?" Lin Chong was puzzled.
In the past, when I was in the imperial court, only those troops who were specifically responsible for guarding of honor would train in formations and be required to keep their ranks in order. The rest of the troops were in a mess and only occasionally trained in martial arts.
"This is mainly to train soldiers' obedience." Wu Dong said.
"Obedience?" Lin Chong still didn't understand.
"Yes, our soldiers of the Song Dynasty, in addition to poor training, also have a big shortcoming: lack of obedience. During the battle, once the general wins, they rush forward in a swarm. Once the general fails, the entire team is immediately defeated.
Okay. Brother, just do as I say, it will definitely be beneficial." Wu Dong said with a smile.
Now the soldiers in Liangshan first exercise their physical strength in the morning and run 20 miles along the island, then train their formations, and in the afternoon they train their martial arts.
A few days later, Lin Chong finally discovered the benefits of this formation training.
When not training in martial arts, each battalion of a hundred people fought in a line, with the first battalion in front, the second battalion standing behind the first battalion, and the third battalion standing behind the second battalion.
All soldiers carry spears, which is now the standard configuration of the Liangshan army.
"Kill!" A chorus of shouts was heard, and the soldiers of the first battalion took action together, thrusting out their spears in unison, with an astonishing momentum.
When the soldiers of the first battalion retracted their spears, the soldiers of the second battalion thrust out their spears together, and then the soldiers of the third battalion.
After the third battalion was completed, the first battalion came again, and then the second battalion, and so on.
The team is neat and the standard of stabbing together is such that no matter how high the martial arts is, it can block the first wave, but it cannot block the second or third wave.
Lin Chong stood there with excitement on his face. These were the soldiers he had trained. They were much stronger than the Forbidden Army back then.
"Brother is indeed a genius, he was able to come up with such a method. Sure enough, only after soldiers know how to obey can they work together and display their true combat effectiveness." Lin Chong thought to himself.
The army of the Song Dynasty had to stand or sit in the same position. It was simply unimaginable for them to thrust spears and attack at the same time. Therefore, the army of the Song Dynasty could not play a collective role at all.
Come. The armies of the Song Dynasty all fought independently. Whichever team had martial arts masters in it would be stronger. The role of ordinary soldiers was very limited.
"With such an army, there is no problem in defeating the Forbidden Army. Even the Liao army can be easily defeated!" Thinking of this, Lin Chong felt a little excited.
Since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, it has always been vulnerable to the attacks of the Liao people. The Song people failed one after another and lost more and more land. Now it seems that one of the main reasons is the army. The army is too weak.
, without the slightest obedience, how can we defeat the Liao people?
"In the future, will I lead such an army to fight against the Liao people?" Lin Chong thought in his mind.

At this time, Zhu Gui suddenly received news that Hua Rong, the commander of Qingfeng Village, was leading 2,000 soldiers to encircle Liangshanbo and would be arriving soon.
"Hua Rong? Could it be the one known as Xiao Li Guang?" Wu Dong said.
"Yes, that's him." Zhu Gui said.
"This person is quite famous... It would be great if we could capture this person alive," Wu Dong said.
Wu Dong and Lin Chong began to study the strategy. Wu Dong said: "Our troops have been training for several months. It's time to take them out to fight. Training alone is not effective. They should be allowed to see blood.
In addition, it will also test our training results during this period."
Lin Chong said: "Brother, what do you mean?"
Wu Dong said: "What I mean is to go head-to-head with the officers and soldiers, go directly to the shore, and fight them on the shore."
In the past, when Wang Lun was the leader, when officers and soldiers were encircling and suppressing them, the minions in Liangshanbo would hide in the water. If they couldn't be defeated, they would hide in the reeds. But now Wu Dong lets them go ashore and fight the officers and soldiers.
Lin Chong said: "Okay, let's do it like this."
Lin Chong actually wanted to test whether the army trained in this way was really powerful. He wanted to use the officers and soldiers of Qingfeng Village as a test stone. He was not even prepared to use any strategy, he just wanted to go head-to-head and fight the officers and soldiers head-on.
After another half month, Hua Rong finally arrived at Liangshan Moor. He originally planned to collect a few small boats and then go around Liangshan Moor, which would be considered as completing the task.
Unexpectedly, soldiers suddenly came to report that the water bandits from Liangshanbo were waiting in front.
"These people in Liangshan Bo are really strange. They don't use the good water moor. I can't find them even if they hide there... Why did they come ashore?" Hua Rong felt strange in his heart. At the same time, he suddenly became interested and wanted to see Liang Shan Bo.
of water bandits.
At that moment, Hua Rong hurriedly led the Qingfengzhai army towards the Liangshan army. Since they were here, they had to fight, otherwise they would not be able to explain when they returned.
Half an hour later, the Liangshan army was finally seen in front.
I saw all the Liangshan troops standing there with spears in their hands. The team was so neat that not a single sound was made.
This kind of army has no aura on the surface, but it gives people a feeling like a mountain, and there is a real feeling of "united as one".
Hua Rong was shocked. It was the first time in his life that he saw such an army. He thought to himself: "How can the water pirates in Liangshan be so well-trained?"
Lin Chong stood at the front of the team. When he saw the people from Qingfeng Village arriving, he waved his gun and said: "Kill!"
