Chapter 288 Hua Rong
Wu Yong heard this, and his heart moved slightly: "In that case, why should the general suffer here? With Liu Zhizhai, who is harming the people, here, how can Zong brothers be useful with their martial arts skills? , Just spending time here."
"Zhao Daguan of Liangshan County often said that he could rise from a small village to the head of a county, but only because of the help of his brothers. Regardless of whether they are wise or foolish, they must be properly arranged and people must make full use of their talents."
Hua Rong heard about it and said, "I have heard many times about the benefits of high officials. There is another extravagant person in Yuncheng County, Jeju. , who is known as Timely Rain Song Gongming, does the military advisor know?"
Seeing Wu Yong nod, Hua Rong continued: "My younger brother often corresponds with brother Song Gongming. In the past six months, the person mentioned most often is Zhao Daguan of Liangshan County. . I have heard a lot and wanted to visit you. I just hate that Liu Gao did something bad and forced many good people to abandon their homes and go to the mountains to become bandits. I often patrol the surrounding area and dare not leave you lightly today. On the one hand, it’s a great comfort to my life. It’s a pity that I can’t meet my brother Zhao Zhen.”
Wu Yong said deliberately: "Brother, what you said is true. When we came here, we passed by Qingfeng Mountain. There was a good man on the mountain, called [Jin Maohu] Yan Shun. I heard that we are under the command of Zhao Zhen, the high official of Liangshan. Please, please I'll go up to the mountain and host a banquet. According to what he said, there are indeed many good people on the mountain who have joined their families."
"Brother Yanshun admires the officials very much and wants to bring these people to be equal to me. Go to Liangshan County. Because I want to visit Zhizhai to appease him, I will return together in two or three days. There are also some evildoers in the mountains, so I will take this opportunity to attack Zhizhai. . If you have achieved meritorious service, you can also be transferred elsewhere, so that you can deal with people like Liu Gao every day."
Hua Rong sneered: "That would be great, even if you have meritorious service, it is not easy to be promoted. After I wiped out the bandits, it won't be a big deal. For some reason, the bandits dispersed in Erlong Mountain ahead. I led the troops away and received only a commendation from the government. Not to mention a promotion, even a silver reward was not given. "My heart is broken."
Wu Yongdao: "I have also heard that Murong Yanda is the brother of the current official's favorite concubine. He is not a person who makes decisions for the people. He has no control over the life and death of his subordinates. There are people like Xiandi who are highly skilled in martial arts guarding important places in Qingzhou, and they also control [Thunderbolt Fire] Qin Ming, and supervise [Three Mountains] Huang Xin, but there are more and more bandits in Qingzhou."
"In recent days, a group of forbidden troops have been transferred from Dongping Mansion to station in another dangerous place. The leader of this group is called Yun Tianbiao, but he is a disciple of Taiwei Tong of Bianjing. Apart from anything else, this man's martial arts skills are... A first-rate person, with this person here and in cooperation with his brothers, we will definitely be able to wipe out a lot of bandits in the mountains.”
After hearing this, Hua Rong said angrily: "I am just a deputy magistrate. How can I cooperate? I am afraid that I will have to obey orders by then. The magistrate is corrupt, how can I prevent villagers from entering the mountains and becoming bandits?"
"It's better for me to resign from my official position and go to Liangshan County to work. There is no need to cater to these corrupt officials. When passing by Yuncheng County, I can also visit Brother Song Gongming."
After that, please invite Wu Seating three people. The accompanying sergeants are taken care of by Hua Rong's confidants.
Everyone sat down, Hua Rong raised his glass and said: "Prepare a little wine, it's time to catch the wind. All brothers have a drink together."
As soon as he drank the wine, Wang Dingliu said, "Hey With a sound, Hua Rong said: "But this wine is not to the taste of the six brothers Wang Ding. Please change it before drinking." After that, he called for someone to change the wine.
Wang Dingliu said quickly: "That's not the case. The taste of this wine is unique. It seems to be similar to the Huajia Xiaojiu of a high official family. I'm surprised."
After saying this, there was a look of astonishment on his face: "Is this also the small wine in [Huajia Baijiu]?"
Hua Rong heard this and said: "Yes, this wine is indeed the small wine that brother said. I wonder how a high-ranking official can have this wine?" "
Wu Yong took over the conversation and told the story about Yang Lin's exploration of Huangnigang and the purchase of a wine prescription. After hearing this, Hua Rong said: "That's it, what the brother said about the flower appointment. It’s the clan brother.”
Everyone laughed when they heard this. "It seems that going to Liangshan County is God's will." Hua Rong said.
Wu Yongdao: "Since brothers have made up their minds to go to Liangshan County, some things must be planned in advance. The Yun Tianbiao mentioned earlier originally worked in Jingyang Town, which borders Liangshan County. Because his relatives raised 6,000 villagers He attacked Liangshan County and became enemies with the high-ranking officials, so he stayed away. "
"I never thought that he would take the post of Taiwei and be transferred to Qingzhou, so Jingyang Town would be short of a general manager. Brother, are you interested?"
After hearing this, Hua Rong asked: "This place is not under the rule of a high official, how can I be transferred across the state?"
"Whether this will happen or not remains to be seen. In the meantime, I will go back and discuss it with the senior official. If I can get the senior official's father-in-law to take action, I think it will be a success. If so, I will have to wait here for a while, and then I can go. In this way, Liangshan County will be much more stable. With no external disturbances and benevolent administration from the inside, the villagers in Liangshan County will naturally live and work in peace and contentment. If this fails, brothers can come to Liangshan and protect the peace with us."

After hearing this, Hua Rong also shouted like Wang Dingliu: "Everything is subject to the arrangements of the military advisor. I am just doing an inventory of the treasury and the troops these days. I will take away everything I can. I can't take advantage of Liu Gao."
Speaking of this, Wu Yong said: "High officials value heroes the most. I wonder if any of our brothers are familiar with each other?"
Hua Rong shook his head: "I only met Song Gongming a few years ago. , he met Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, two of the county's top officials, who were both good at martial arts. Since then, they have been serving as officials in Qingfeng Village, but they have never met many heroes. "
Wu Yong said: "In that case, we will say goodbye tomorrow, go to Qingfeng Village to join the Yanshun brothers, and return to Liangshan County early to plan. In this way, we can meet our brothers as soon as possible."
The plan is settled, Wu Yong and others Rest for the night, have breakfast the next day, and say goodbye to Huarong.
Hua Rong sent Wu Yong and others out of the house: "Military advisor, I was thinking last night that although Yan Shun and his group were disguised, they were not from serious military backgrounds. If someone found out, they would inevitably have to fight. I'm afraid There are casualties, but it is not beautiful. It is better to accompany me in a while." Wu Yong said: "Brother, I have sent people back first. If the officials believe it, they will definitely send troops. Picking up halfway. The Yanshun brothers are also cleaning up the cottage. The people there are mixed and the delay is long, which is not good."
Hua Rong heard: "In this case, the military advisor will be careful all the way. I will wait here. The official called. "
Not to mention Hua Rong went back to his house to take inventory and pack his luggage. It is only said that Wu Yong and his party left Qingfeng Village and rode straight to Qingfeng Mountain.
After joining Yanshun, Wu Yong and others spent another three days counting the personnel, giving gold and silver, and dismissed some of the thieves who were hard to change, and the rest were incorporated into the army. The grain, grass, gold, silver, cloth, and silk from the treasury were all loaded onto the cart. After the group left Qingfeng Mountain, they waved the flag of Yanggu County Xiang Army and headed straight to Liangshan County in the southwest along the official road.
