Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"It would be better to invite these four brothers to come to Erlong Mountain for a reunion."

“…Very well, I will write this letter myself.”

Song Jiang laughed heartily.

He then excitedly turned to turn around.

Go inside to find paper and pen to write a letter.

But Wu Yong immediately followed up with,

"Don't be hasty, clerk. There's still one person I haven't mentioned."

"Oh, who else?"

Song Jiang exclaimed in delight.

"When we went to Liangshan before, did you see the leaders of the Liangshan navy?"

Wu Yong inquired,

"Is that Zhang Shunde, the White Streak in the Waves?"

"I remember,"

Song Jiang nodded.

Then he asked in confusion,

"Could it be that Zhang Shun is unhappy staying at Liangshan?"

"So you want to switch allegiance?"

"Clerk, I wasn't referring to Zhang Shun."

Wu Yong shook his head...

Chapter 1316 Boat Fire

"Clerk, that Zhang Shun is the leader of the Liangshan navy,"

Wu Yong shook his head.

"He enjoyed the deep trust of the Liangshan chieftain,"

"How could they possibly betray Liangshan so easily?"

"Then why did you bring him up, strategist?"

Song Jiang was somewhat displeased.

"Clerk, you may not know this, but Zhang Shun actually has an older brother,"

Wu Yong explained,

"This man is also extremely skilled in swimming, nicknamed 'Boat Fire,' and is a boatman on the Xunyang River,"

"This man was a local tyrant on the Xunyang River. When he was ferrying people across the river,"

"Whenever they encountered passengers with money on their boats, they would treat them to 'knife-cut noodles' and 'wonton soup'."

What are "broad-cut noodles" and "wonton soup"?

Song Jiang asked, puzzled.

"Clerk, that's actually what the river bandits say,"

Wu Yong laughed,

“These ‘ban dao mian’ are made by simply chopping them up with one knife and then throwing them into the river.”

"As for the 'water wontons,' they would tie people up tightly and then throw them into the river to drown."

"Zhang Heng used this as an excuse to rob money on the Xunyang River."

"The students heard that this was because the Zhang brothers had previously suffered a relapse of their elderly mother's illness,"

"This is a picture of someone completely ignoring their mother."

"This also caused him to fall out with his brother Zhang Shun."

"Zhang Shun took his mother to Liangshan,"

"But Zhang Heng remains on the Xunyang River."

"Is this person unfilial to his mother?"

Song Jiang frowned deeply.

"That kind of person..."

No matter how scheming and cunning,

They would stop at nothing to gain appeasement.

But when it comes to filial piety, Song Jiang...

It is indeed genuine and beyond reproach!

A filial son like him naturally looks down on those who are not filial to their parents.

"Clerk, Erlong Mountain is currently short-staffed,"

Wu Yong advised,

"Especially the lack of leaders who are skilled in swimming,"

"Liangshan is located in the middle of a marshland,"

"If we cooperate with the government troops to attack Liangshan next year,"

"There is a leader who is skilled in the water,"

"Whether it's going into the water to gather information,"

"Or should we lead our men to fight by boat?"

"They are all extremely beneficial!"

"......All right,"

Although Song Jiang disliked Zhang Heng, this unfilial son,

But he also knew that Wu Yong had a point.

He could only nod.

"But would this person be willing to come to our Erlong Mountain?"

"This guy is greedy for money,"

Wu Yong said,

"He could only amass a hundred strings of cash at most throughout the year on the Xunyang River,"

"How can any place compare to our mountain stronghold!"

"I will send him a letter and also send him jewels worth a thousand strings of cash,"

"Zhang Heng will definitely be impressed by this."

"Then please go ahead and do it, sir."

Song Jiang nodded.

"As long as we can recruit more people for Erlong Mountain,"

"There's gold and silver jewelry in this mountain village,"

"Sir, please feel free to take it."

...

While Song Jiang and his men were tidying up the houses in the Erlong Mountain stronghold,

They sent people down the mountain.

They traveled to various places to recruit people.

And at the same time,

Zhao Yuan led 500 cavalry and 1,000 infantry.

They were already braving the snow.

We went up Qingfeng Mountain.

Everyone from Qingfeng Village was there to greet them at the village gate.

"Greetings, Chief Zhao,"

Gongsun Sheng, along with Liu Tang, Zhu Tong, Bai Sheng, Li Zhong, and others, bowed respectfully.

Zhao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward,

They were helped up.

"We're all acquaintances, so please don't be so polite."

"Chief Zhao,"

The female tiger, Gu Dasao, led her husband, Xiao Yuchi, Sun Xin, and Tie Jiaozi Lehe.

He also cupped his hands in greeting to Zhao Yuan.

"I knew you were all here,"

Zhao Yuan laughed.

"This time when I came to Qingfeng Mountain, I brought the two brothers, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, with me."

"We're all at ease knowing that my two brothers are staying with Chief Zhao at Liangshan,"

Sister-in-law Gu laughed.

"Chief Zhao, please don't worry about these things."

"it is good,"

Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded.

He turned to look at the Hua siblings beside him.

Seeing him,

Then Hua Xiaomei recalled the grievances she had suffered on Qingfeng Mountain recently.

His eyes immediately reddened.

"Brother Zhao..."

"Yes, I already know about what happened to you on this mountain,"

Zhao Yuan comforted him,

"Don't worry, Brother Zhao will definitely avenge you in the future."

"Um,"

Hua Xiaomei nodded emphatically.

Then he gently nudged his older brother, Hua Rong, who was standing next to him.

"Brother..."

"...Hua Rong greets Chief Zhao,"

Little Li Guang bowed with a face full of shame.

"Hua Rong followed the wrong person and almost dragged his sister down with him, sigh..."

"This isn't Hua Zhizhai's fault,"

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said,

"Hua Zhizhai is grateful and righteous,"
