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

Leading a group of farmhands,

They oppressed the people and acted arrogantly and domineeringly.

Although they had not yet settled down in the countryside,

But its arrogant behavior

They had already joined forces with those outlaw bandits.

It's the same as before.

........

Hua Rong was pulled by Song Jiang and headed to White Tiger Mountain.

But little did they know that at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain,

On the only road leading to Qingfeng Mountain,

There were also two women,

I've been waiting for him here every day for the past two days.

That day, as darkness approached,

There were hardly any people left on the road.

Hua Xiaomei glanced at Hua Rong's wife, who was still staring blankly at the road.

I couldn't help but offer my advice.

"Sister-in-law, it's getting dark soon, let's go back first."

"......Um."

Madam Hua Rong nodded helplessly.

········Requesting flowers·· 0

Previously, in the military camp outside Qingfeng Village,

Although Hua Xiaomei told Zhao Yuan...

She and her sister-in-law were to return to Jizhou with the Liangshan forces.

However, since Wu Song's whereabouts have not yet been confirmed,

So after Xu Ning and Lü Fang rescued Qin Ming's family,

Zhao Yuan then bid farewell to Chao Gai and the others.

They led the Liangshan group to Peach Blossom Village at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain.

After seeing that Wu Erlang was safe and sound

Zhao Yuan then asked him what exactly happened that day.

Having already killed Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying, why has he not returned to Peach Blossom Village for so long?

"Brother Zhao, you don't know this,"

.. ...... .......

Wu Erlang smiled bitterly and said,

"That day I mistakenly drank the medicinal wine and saw Xianglan being kidnapped by thieves. In order to avoid losing consciousness, I had no choice but to cut myself with a dagger."

"But by doing so, although we caught up with the bandits and even trampled one of them to death, we were already at our limit due to excessive blood loss."

"After the remaining bandits were scared away, I could no longer hold on and fainted."

"Fortunately, Xianglan is intelligent,"

As Wu Erlang finished speaking, he couldn't help but turn his head.

I glanced at Liu Xianglan, who was chatting with Hua Rong's wife and Hua Xiaomei not far away.

"Xianglan was worried that bandits would come after us and discover our whereabouts, so she had the big black horse drag me into the dense forest to hide. Afterwards, she sent the black horse back to Peach Blossom Village alone to report the news."

"During this time, although Xianglan saw the Liangshan soldiers who came to search for us, she mistook them for bandits and hid with me in the dense forest, not daring to come out at all."

"When the big black horse returned to Peach Blossom Village, Brother Zhao, you had already led your men to Qingfeng Mountain."

"Fortunately, the young lady from the Liu family was clever. Seeing that the big black horse had returned alone and was covered in blood, she had it lead the way, and with a group of villagers following behind, they finally found me and Xianglan..."

Chapter 376 Wu Song Joins Liangshan

Although Liu Huiniang and Chen Liqing, along with their servants, rescued Wu Song and Liu Xianglan,

But after that,

The two of them naturally had no reason to stay in Peach Blossom Village.

Urged on by Chen Xizhen

They had no choice but to continue on their way to Jingyang Town.

When Zhao Yuan led the Liangshan heroes back to Peach Blossom Village,

Liu Huiniang and Chen Liqing have been gone for several days.

Liujiazhuang

That leaves only the Wu brothers and their families.

Since we parted ways in the north...

Now we meet again in Peach Blossom Village.

The Wu brothers were naturally extremely excited.

Although Wu Dalang was clumsy with words,

But they also knew that Zhao Yuan genuinely cared for them as brothers. (267)

He initially forbade his brothers from following Zhao Yuan.

I just don't want Wu Song to become a bandit.

However, since the outbreak of the epidemic in Shandong...

Liangshan was widely loved by the people for his efforts in saving lives.

In addition, that Sister-in-law Zhang was originally a female guard by Qiongying's side.

After marrying Wu Dalang

They also praised Liangshan every day.

As a result, Wu Dalang gradually changed his mind.

As for Wu Song, Wu Erlang

Originally relying on his martial arts skills,

He was still hoping to seek refuge with the government.

To obtain an official position or something would bring honor to one's ancestors.

But in the past six months,

He encountered setbacks at every turn.

This outbreak in Shandong,

Local officials don't care about the lives of ordinary people.

This also completely broke Wu Song's heart.

In addition, witnessing firsthand the swarms of bandits everywhere, oppressing the people in all directions,

Even his wife was almost kidnapped by thieves.

Wu Erlang then also had the idea of ​​joining Liangshan.

Zhao Yuan was naturally more than happy to accept this.

After both sides had spoken out,

The Wu brothers then decided to take their families to Liangshan.

Even Old Man Liu from Peach Blossom Village,

There is no objection to this.

Although the Liu family was a prominent household in Peach Blossom Village,

However, since this old man Liu had no son...

In the past, I was solely focused on accumulating good deeds so that I could have offspring to carry on the family line.

Therefore, they treated the farmhands and villagers of Peach Blossom Village with relative politeness.

Now that his daughter has married Wu Song,

If Old Master Liu were to remain alone in Peach Blossom Village,

They were inevitably deceived by bandits again.

Naturally, he was willing to go to Liangshan Marsh with his daughter and son-in-law.

Besides Old Master Liu's family,

Many villagers in Peach Blossom Village

I'd heard long ago that joining Liangshan would mean getting land and fields.

There were no exorbitant taxes levied by the government.

They all came to Old Master Liu for help.

However, regarding this matter with Zhao Yuan,

But they were in a bit of a predicament.

On Liangshan Mountain in Jeju Lake,

There are now 70,000 to 80,000 people.

Even after deducting the military households and artisan households who were exempt from land distribution,

There are still forty to fifty thousand people.

Liangshan acquired most of the farmland.

It has already been completely divided up.

And where is there any spare space?

After a moment of contemplation,

Zhao Yuan recalled his previous idea of ​​establishing Liangshan branch strongholds at Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain.

So they decided to take advantage of this opportunity.

While building the village, they also helped the nearby people distribute land.

The Qingzhou army, after several campaigns...

There are hardly any left.

Liangshan was built on Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain.

Murong Yanda was also powerless to wage war.

Upon hearing that Liangshan was not leaving,

Instead, they should establish a stronghold nearby.

The villagers of Peach Blossom Village did not insist on going to the marshland.

After all, it's hard to leave one's hometown.

If one can receive land in one's own family

Who would willingly travel thousands of miles, leaving their homeland behind?

Having decided to establish branch villages,
