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

The farmhands then quickly relayed what they knew.

He told everything...

Chapter 382 Dividing the Army into Two Routes

"What did you say? That Song Jiang, Song Gongming, actually came here?"

Zhao Yuan asked in surprise.

“That’s right, brother,”

Lu Fang replied,

"Not only Song Jiang, but also Hua Rong, and Song Jiang's family from Yunzhou, all of whom had previously arrived at Kong Family Village."

"No wonder Hua Rongde's sister and wife couldn't find anyone in Peach Blossom Village; this group of people actually came here."

Zhao Yuan chuckled.

"Brother, these people have only been gone for half a day. Brother Lü Fang and I will take the cavalry and go after them."

Wu Song volunteered.

"Alright,"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

"Although I can't stand Song Jiang, he's still useful. If you catch up with them, just bring back the three Kongs."

"Also, Hua Rong is an expert in archery, so be careful if you encounter him."

"Don't worry, bro, we're on our way."

Wu Song laughed heartily.

He greeted Lü Fang.

He then led a hundred cavalrymen,

They followed the direction pointed out by the villagers.

In Kongjiazhuang,

The three members of the Kong family, along with many of their wicked servants, had already fled with Song Jiang and his men.

Zhao Yuan forced the remaining servants to the manor square.

Then he summoned a group of villagers.

Let them sue and seek justice in public.

After confirming that these villagers had only committed minor offenses and had not made any major mistakes.

They were only punished with a few strokes of the military rod.

When the three members of the Kong family were leaving,

Although all the land deeds, property deeds, and household deeds of Kongjiazhuang had been taken away,

But these things,

Zhao Yuan would never admit it anyway.

They're all gone now.

This made it easier for him to distribute land to the people.

Half a day later,

The entire village of Kongjiazhuang,

They all beamed with joy.

Under the guidance of the village elders

A group of villagers came to Zhao Yuan and bowed down to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you Liangshan for allocating land to us!"

"With these fields, we're sure to have enough to eat this year!"

......

The villagers surrounded Zhao Yuan.

They all expressed their gratitude in unison.

Qin Ming and Huang Xin were standing to the side.

But this was the first time I had ever seen such a scene.

Both were traditional military generals.

He never treated his soldiers kindly.

Not to mention how they treat ordinary people.

Qin Ming and Huang Xin,

They had long been accustomed to the people's both fear and apprehension towards them.

This is the first time I've been so close to ordinary people.

"No wonder Liangshan became so powerful in just six months,"

Huang Xin sighed,

"Being able to gain the support of the local people is far better than having the imperial court or ordinary bandits."

"Chief Zhao is good in every way, except he's too lenient with his soldiers,"

Qin Ming couldn't help but say,

"Although Chief Zhao is lenient with his soldiers, his military discipline is strict,"

Huang Xin laughed,

"We, master and disciple, have experienced the might of the Liangshan soldiers before."

"That's true,"

Qin Ming couldn't help but nod.

Generals throughout history have always favored elite troops.

Thunderbolt was no exception.

And these Liangshan soldiers

They are undoubtedly the elite of the elite.

.......

Zhao Yuan, along with Qin Ming and Huang Xin, distributed land and fields to the people of Kongjiazhuang.

Wu Song and Lü Fang led a hundred cavalrymen.

They pursued the direction in which Song Jiang and his men had fled.

Although the latter had left much earlier, half a day earlier...

But Hua Rong and his group were numerous, and not everyone had a horse.

Secondly, the large and small bags, and the countless amounts of money and food, also slowed down the process.

Wu Erlang and the others chased for more than an hour.

They had already caught up with Hua Rong and his group.

With a command from the two leaders

The cavalry quickly dispersed.

They surrounded Hua Rong and the others.

"...So it's you, Chief Lü Fang,"

Hua Rong, without changing his expression, clasped his hands in greeting and said...

"Brothers of Liangshan, what is the meaning of surrounding us?"

"Hua Zhizhai, do you really not know why we have come here?"

Lu Fang chuckled.

“The archery skills of Magistrate Hua are unparalleled, and my brother admires heroes. We do not wish to fight with Magistrate Hua.”

"We urge the magistrate to hand over the three members of the Kong family, father and sons, and let's not ruin our harmony." 270

"Chief Lü, the Kong family father and son are truly not in my group,"

Hua Rong generously pointed to the crowd behind him,

"If the leader doesn't believe me, he may search me at will."

"this......"

Lü Fang and Hua Rong finally met at Qingfeng Mountain.

Still a little hesitant,

Wu Erlang, standing to the side, paid no attention to any of this.

Just wave your hand.

He then ordered his soldiers to take away the servants from the Kong family manor.

They began searching the group one by one.

Wu Erlang is leading his men to search over there.

Here we have Lü Fang.

He then took the opportunity to tell Hua Rong about what had happened between Hua Xiaomei and her sister-in-law.

"Where does Magistrate Hua intend to go?"

Lu Fang asked with a smile,

"When I get back, I can tell the magistrate's family so they can go and look for you."

"Of course I will go to Qingfeng Mountain with Brother Gongming,"

Hua Rong bowed and thanked him.

"Please inform my wife and sister, Chief Lü, that they can go to Qingfeng Mountain to find me."

Chapter 383 Too Late

"Actually, there's something else,"

Lu Fang hesitated for a moment,

Or will Flower Girl dress up as a man again?

He then recounted how Zhao Yuan had appointed him as an instructor of archery and crossbows at Liangshan.

"In my opinion, your younger sister is probably not willing to return to Qingfeng Mountain."

"...That girl has always been prone to mischief, it's rare that Chief Zhao actually took a liking to her archery skills,"

Hua Rong hesitated for a moment.

Thinking of Song Jiang's plan,

I'm afraid that once he gets to Qingfeng Mountain...

Even on the mountain, there are few peaceful days.

Furthermore, Qingfeng Mountain is ultimately no match for Liangshan.

Murong Yanda was also the emperor's brother-in-law.

Previously humiliated by bandits,

That scoundrel will surely seek revenge.
