Song Jiang and others were looking at Liangshan's army at this moment. Liangshan's soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, setting up military camps, and some were boiling water for cooking. Everything was in order, not the chaos of ordinary grass bandits.
In addition to these soldiers, there were many soldiers standing guard. These soldiers stood there motionless, making no noise at all, just staring at the four directions carefully. Even in the dark night, they did not look impatient at all.
"Liangshan's soldiers and horses are more than a little stronger than our Shaohuashan soldiers and horses, and I'm afraid they are much stronger than the officers and soldiers." Shi Jin said in shock.
Li Jun was very happy in his heart. It seemed that Zhang Shun was right. Liangshan today was indeed no ordinary grassroots bandit. Liangshan's ambition was not small, and his plan was very big.
Song Jiang frowned slightly, Liangshan was stronger than he imagined. Liangshan defeated the officers and soldiers of the imperial court before. It was probably because there were some powerful military advisors on Liangshan who used some powerful strategies to defeat the officers and soldiers. But now it looks like
After arriving at Liangshan's army, Song Jiang realized that the overall quality of Liangshan's army had surpassed that of the officers and soldiers, and they could defeat the officers and soldiers even in head-to-head encounters.
"Could Liangshan... really become the imperial court's formidable enemy?" Such thoughts suddenly came to Song Jiang's mind, but he soon told himself that this was impossible. The imperial court owned the entire world and tens of millions of people.
, with more than two million troops, plus countless taxes every year, it is definitely not something that can be defeated by just one Liangshan.
Although the Song Dynasty was weak in front of foreigners, it was still huge and powerful. It was really difficult for ordinary bandits to threaten the imperial court.
This is why Song Jiang must recruit people, because he knows that rebellion has no future and will eventually lead to death.
"Liangshanbo is not a place for me, Song Jiang, after all." Song Jiang secretly thought.
On the other side, Li Kui was cursing and said: "What is Qiaoliang Mountain? It's just like the army... It seems that Brother Song is right, you must not go to this place."
When Song Jiang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Brother, be silent, this is the military camp of Liangshan after all."
Li Kui was still cursing, looked at Li Jun, and said: "Li Jun, have you seen what Liangshan looks like? Do you still want to go to Liangshan?"
Li Jun said: "We all have different ambitions... I, Li Jun, have developed martial arts skills, and I should always find a place to put them to use."
Li Kui was born into the underworld, and Li Jun is completely different from him. When he was in Jiangzhou before, he was also a tyrant in Jiangzhou, and he also did some underworld business, but it was to make a living, and on the surface he was from an innocent family.
.Since following Song Jiang to Shaohua Mountain, he has become a complete bandit. He has a home and cannot return, and has nowhere to use his strength. These two years can be said to be his most depressing years.
In fact, when Zhang Shun first wrote to him, he wanted to go to Liangshan and see the sea, but at that time he was worried about Song Jiang's feelings and could not leave Song Jiang.
But now, Shaohua Mountain is over, and he has regained his freedom. At this moment, he feels relaxed all over his body. When he reaches Liangshan, he will once again become the famous "Hunjianglong" in the world. No, it should be
The "sea dragon" roams across the sea, and may even make achievements in the future. How refreshing is that?
Li Kui was very unhappy. With so many brothers leaving, he had a feeling of reluctance. He followed Song Jiang wholeheartedly, and he stopped talking at the moment, but his face was ashen.

The group of people from Liangshan came to Wu Dong's camp and saw a young man standing at the door. This young man had a smile on his face and had a temperament that only comes from being in a high position for a long time.
This person is naturally Wu Dong. He has been a leader for several years and has ruled hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. He will naturally have such a temperament. Comparatively speaking, although Song Jiang and Shi Jin are also leaders, their temperaments are much different from Wu Dong.
.
Wu Dong was looking at Song Jiang. This man was originally the protagonist of Water Margin. He was known as "Timely Rain" by people in the rivers and lakes. He gathered 108 heroes at the Liangshan River and was the leader of the four bandits recognized by Song Huizong. But now, the title "Timely Rain"
It has been snatched away by Wu Dong, and Liangshan Shuibo also belongs to Wu Dong. Now Song Jiang is only "Xiaoyi Black Saburo", but even so, he can still occupy Shaohua Mountain and gather a group of heroes. It can be seen that this man also has his own
's unique charm.
"Wu-Tang Family, I have admired your name for a long time, and today I finally get to meet you." Song Jiang bowed and said sincerely.
"Brother Song, you are so polite. I have admired Brother Song for a long time. When I was in Qinghe County, I wanted to visit Brother Song, but unfortunately I never had time. Later, when I came to Liangshan, Brother Chao Gai often mentioned Brother Song. He said
Brother Song's great kindness has never been forgotten. Wu Dong is extremely happy to see his face today. You are all well-known heroes in the world, please come in quickly." Wu Dong said with a smile.
Immediately, a group of people from Shaohua Mountain were invited in, and then they immediately served good wine and good food. These good wine and good food were all searched from Tong Guan's military camp, and now they were just in time to entertain Song Jiang and others.
Song Jiang and others had been staying in the mountain for almost a year, and the wine had been drunk long ago. Most of the people in the world were addicted to alcohol, and they were all extremely excited at this moment. First, everyone drank heavily and ate large pieces of meat.
"Thank you Wudang family for saving me this time." Song Jiang drank a bowl of wine and said with his face flushed.
"We are all friends in the world, that's how it should be." Wu Dong said with a smile.
"You saved thousands of brothers on Shaohua Mountain this time, but it's a pity that I, Tieniu, still can't follow you." Before Wu Dong and Song Jiang could say a few words, Li Kui suddenly stood up and said loudly.
He looked quite funny now, with wine on his face and beard, and a chicken foot in his mouth, but no one at the scene thought it was funny.
Wu Dong ignored Li Kui, looked at Song Jiang, and said: "Brother Song, I wonder where you are going to go next? Now that Shaohua Mountain has been destroyed, officers and soldiers will continue to come here, so you can't stay here. Why don't you?
Follow me to Liangshan? Liangshan is now prosperous and needs the help of all heroes."
Song Jiang gritted his teeth and said: "To be honest, I have some friends in Taihu Lake, and they have always invited me to go to Taihu Lake. This time, Shaohua Mountain was besieged and suppressed by the imperial court, and many brothers died. I was disheartened and prepared to go to Taihu Lake to relax.
"
Originally, Song Jiang didn't want to have a showdown with Wu Dong so early, but before he and Wu Dong even said a few words, Li Kui said such words, and he had to express his stance.
Wu Dong smiled and said: "Brother Song wants to go to Taihu Lake, so of course it's up to Brother Song. I wonder if you guys should follow Brother Song to Taihu Lake? Or follow me to Liangshan?"
At this time, Li Jun stood up and said: "In the Wudang family, Brother Zhang Shun often mentions you in letters, saying that you are a hero today. Several of us want to go to Liangshan. Besides, we haven't seen Brother Zhang Shun for a long time.
I miss him very much. I can see him when I go to Liangshan."
After Li Jun finished speaking, he looked at Song Jiang and said, "Brother Song, I'm sorry."
Song Jiang said softly: "Brothers, you can go wherever you want. There is no need to feel sorry. Without the brothers, I would have died in Jiangzhou a long time ago. Speaking of which, I owe all the brothers and I always feel uneasy."
Song Jiang's words were very sincere, at least in Wu Dong's view, they were extremely sincere. Li Jun's eyes were a little moist, and he nodded and said: "Brother Song will always be my eldest brother. Even if I go to Liangshan, I will always be my eldest brother."
I will never forget Brother Song’s kindness.”
After Li Jun finished speaking, everyone stopped talking. Wu Dong thought that the others would not join him. The others were all direct descendants of Song Jiang or Shi Jin's younger brothers. They should have followed Song Jiang and Shi Jin into Taihu Lake.
Suddenly, at this moment, a young man dressed as a scholar stood up and said: "Wudang Clan, do you know if Liangshan is short of people to make suggestions? If necessary, I will go to Liangshan too."
When this man stood up and said this, the camp became extremely quiet for a moment, and everyone had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
****
Wu Dong was surprised at first, and then said happily: "Of course it is necessary! Now Liangshan has many generals and some heroes, but what is lacking is people like you who can make suggestions. Welcome to Liangshan, sir."
It turned out that this man was Zhu Wu, the military counselor of Shaohua Mountain, who was known as the "Shenji Military Counselor" in the world. This man was very extraordinary. He was the number one Earth Evil Star in the Water Margin, and he was the same military counselor as Wu Yong. Later, Liangshan divided his troops.
, Wu Yong was Song Jiang's military advisor, and Zhu Wu was Lu Junyi's military advisor. From the very beginning of Water Margin, this man showed extraordinary resourcefulness, and used a trick to deceive the simple Shi Jin into Shaohua Mountain and became a member of Shaohua Mountain.
member.
Wu Dong never thought that Zhu Wu would be willing to go to Liangshan. He thought that Zhu Wu and Shi Jin were of the same mind, and they were Shi Jin's younger brothers. Shi Jin didn't say that he would go to Liangshan, and he would definitely not go. But it was completely different from what he imagined.
.
Shi Jin showed an expression of disbelief at this moment and said: "Brother Zhu Wu... you... why is this?"
Zhu Wu said apologetically: "Brother Shi Jin, I had no choice but to become a bandit. I don't want to be a bandit all my life and be reviled after my death. Now that Liangshan is growing stronger and stronger, if I join Liangshan, I may be innocent one day in the future."
, maybe it will bring glory to our ancestors. So, I’m sorry, brother.”
Zhu Wu had great ambitions, which were completely different from Shi Jin. Shi Jin just wanted to be free and be a knight-errant in the rivers and lakes. He had a more outgoing personality and did not take his identity as a grassroots bandit seriously. Anyway, there are many grassroots bandits in the world, and not all of them live well.
Of?
Zhu Wu, on the other hand, is a reader. If he is not forced to do so, how can any reader be willing to become a bandit? All readers want to assist heroes, make contributions, and even change dynasties.
Zhu Wu had long seen that Song Jiang did not have such courage, so he took advantage of this opportunity and joined Liangshan.
Shi Jin complained a little: "Brother Zhu Wu, even if you are going to Liangshan, you should tell me in advance? We are sworn brothers. If you go, I will never stop you."
Zhu Wudao: "I just made up my mind after seeing the situation of the Liangshan army. Brother, I'm sorry."
Shi Jin couldn't help sighing. At this moment, Chen Da and Yang Chun suddenly stood up and said: "Since Brother Zhu Wu has decided to go to Liangshan, let's go together."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned again, but after thinking about it, there was nothing surprising. Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun, the three of them were originally the owners of Shaohua Mountain. They had stayed in Shaohua Mountain together for many years and had a very close relationship.
They are so profound that they are almost no different from real brothers. Naturally, wherever Zhu Wu goes, the two of them will also go.
At this moment, Song Jiang's face was not very good. He originally thought that only Li Jun and others were going to Liangshan, but he did not expect that Zhu Wu and others also went to Liangshan. It can be said that almost half of the people around him had gone, and only Shi Jin, Dai Zong, and Li Kui were left.
People followed him.
For a moment, Song Jiang felt a little discouraged and said: "Brother Shaohuashan of the Wu-Tang Clan still needs our care, so I'll say goodbye."
Song Jiang, Shi Jin, and Li Kui stood up and were about to go out. At this moment, Dai Zong suddenly stood up and said: "Brother Song, I can't accompany you to Taihu Lake."
Hearing this, Song Jiang couldn't help but pause in his steps and almost fell down.
