Chapter 103 Three Bowls but No More

…

The newly established cavalry army, with Tang Bin as the leader and Wen Zhongrong as the deputy leader.

The newly established heavy cavalry, in line with the principle of taking the road of others and leaving them with nowhere to go, was named "Iron Pagoda" by Jiang Hongfei. Bian Xiang, one of the most powerful generals in Liangshan Marsh, was the leader, and Cui Ye was the deputy leader.

The newly established infantry army, with Yu Cheng as the leader and Mie Gong as the deputy leader.

In addition, it was decided long ago that Shi Qian would be responsible for the establishment of the special battalion for sending secret reports and serve as the leader of the special battalion for sending secret reports; Shi Xiu and Ruan Xiaoqi would serve as the leaders of Jiang Hongfei's personal army.

In addition, all the leaders and minions of Huiyan Peak were properly settled.

It is no exaggeration to say that all the heroes brought back to Liangshan Marsh by Jiang Hongfei this time were reused.

There was only one exception.

This person was Wu Song, who Jiang Hongfei was most trusted by.

Did Jiang Hongfei not want to reuse Wu Song?

Of course not.

In fact, Jiang Hongfei originally established the Fourth Infantry Army for Wu Song, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that.

However, after Jiang Hongfei announced the establishment of the Fourth Infantry Army and was about to announce the leader of the Fourth Infantry Army, everyone looked at Wu Song, and Jiang Hongfei also looked at Wu Song, but Wu Song lowered his head in front of everyone...

When Wu Song first met Jiang Hongfei, he was indeed very excited, especially when the famous Gai Shenfo and Tian Dasheng personally came to a dilapidated woodshed to meet Wu Song, an unknown person, Wu Song was of course extremely excited.

But after the excitement subsided, Wu Song changed his mind and thought: "Although this man has a great reputation in the world, is generous and generous, and is a generous hero, he is ultimately a leader of a group of strongmen who robs and loots. The government will catch him sooner or later. He is so polite to me, I think he wants to pull me in because I am a hero. I have now recovered my innocence. How much suffering and contempt have I endured for this day? How can I defile this body again and join the green forest and become a bandit?"

However, Jiang Hongfei was too enthusiastic about Wu Song at that time, and he also vented his anger for Wu Song for nearly a year, which made Wu Song feel happy from head to toe. Later, he treated Wu Song's illness and took Wu Song with him without reservation.

How could Wu Song, who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, repays kindness, and is happy to repay kindness and revenge, alienate Jiang Hongfei, his good brother?

In fact, during that period, Wu Song also thought about staying away from Jiang Hongfei, not wanting to get deeper and deeper into trouble.

That is, after Wu Song recovered from his illness, he told Jiang Hongfei that he missed his elder brother Wu Dalang and wanted to go back home.

At that time, the main reason why Wu Song proposed to go back home was that Wu Song had realized that he could no longer entangle with Jiang Hongfei and his gang, otherwise he would be led astray by Jiang Hongfei and his gang sooner or later, and dragged to Liangshan to become a bandit, ruining his innocence.

But at that time, Jiang Hongfei kept him and refused to let Wu Song leave.

Wu Song was not the kind of person who would not repay a favor.

In the end, Wu Song chose to stay and see if he could find an opportunity to repay Jiang Hongfei's favor.

Who would have thought that after that, the longer he got along with Jiang Hongfei, the more Wu Song owed Jiang Hongfei.

At the same time, Wu Song found that Jiang Hongfei, except for being a strong man, really had no bad points, especially to him, he was absolutely as good as could be.

Wu Song was willing to follow Jiang Hongfei to gain knowledge and hang out with the Liangshan heroes who valued friendship.

So much so that after returning to Shandong, Jiang Hongfei and the Liangshan heroes dragged Wu Song to Liangshan Marsh to play. Wu Song wanted to see how good Liangshan Marsh was, which Jiang Hongfei and the Liangshan heroes talked about every day, but he was embarrassed to refuse the invitation of Jiang Hongfei and the Liangshan heroes.

In this way, Wu Song followed Jiang Hongfei to Liangshan.

But then again, Wu Song had no problem hanging out with Jiang Hongfei and the Liangshan heroes in the rivers and lakes, and even enjoyed it, but it was difficult for Wu Song to really join Liangshan Marsh and become a bandit.

So, when he saw that Jiang Hongfei and the Liangshan heroes thought he should be the leader of the Fourth Infantry Army, Wu Song lowered his head and dared not look at Jiang Hongfei and the Liangshan heroes.

Seeing this, how could Jiang Hongfei not guess what Wu Song was thinking?

Jiang Hongfei understood that Wu Song was now like the prodigal son who wanted to turn back.

- In the past few years, although Wu Song had been hanging around in the rivers and lakes, his heart was not in the underworld. He was not like Shi Xiu, who could not live a poor life and wanted to change his poor life. If he was allowed to choose now, what he wanted most was to fight his way out in the officialdom with his fists. In his opinion now, this was the right way. Being a strong man like Jiang Hongfei and the Liangshan heroes was a crooked way.

It can be said that as long as Wu Song was not forced to have no way out, according to Wu Song's original intention, he would never become a bandit.

In "Water Margin", Wu Song was exiled to Mengzhou because he killed Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing. He went all the way without complaint.

On the way, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang persuaded Wu Song to go to Erlongshan, but Wu Song did not listen and insisted on going to jail.

Even though Wu Song was later recruited by Shi En as a thug, because Shi En had done him a favor and because he still had to serve in prison under Shi En and his son, in order to successfully complete his prison term and find an opportunity to become an official, Wu Song even beat Jiang Menshen while drunk regardless of right or wrong.

Later, Zhang Dujian pretended to take Wu Song as his confidant, and Wu Song was also willing to be won over.

Why?

Because at that time, Wu Song still had a passionate desire for fame.

It was only after Wu Song broke through Zhang Doujian's plot that he killed more than a dozen members of Zhang Doujian's family in a rage and committed a heinous crime. He had no choice but to surrender to Erlongshan Luocao as a bandit.

Even so, when he met Song Jiang in Kongjiazhuang, Wu Song still confided in his heart: "It's a pity that I won't die in the future. After being recruited, it's not too late to come to look for my brother!"

Only after Wu Song finally went to Liangshan, his mentality gradually changed, and he could become one of the leaders who firmly opposed recruitment in Liangshan in the future.

actually--

Wu Song didn't want to go to Liangshan and become a bandit. Jiang Hongfei had already figured it out.

After returning to Shuibo Liangshan from Jizhou, Jiang Hongfei took a group of leaders who had just arrived in Liangshan to do justice for the sky, and showed them that he was not leading them to rob families, but leading them to be Liangshan heroes who rescued people in need. Let them see how popular they are, which gives them spiritual satisfaction and goals.

The other new leaders who came to Liangshan were all immersed in the gratitude of the people. When it was time to take action, they all rushed to take action, for fear that they would be later than others, unable to show their own methods, unworthy of being Liangshan heroes, and unable to receive rewards for their meritorious service.

Only Wu Song, although he also had a new understanding of Jiang Hongfei and the Liangshan heroes, was also angry at the oppression and exploitation of the poor people, and even applauded when the Liangshan heroes publically tried the local tyrants and bullies, but he never He really participated in Shuibo Liangshan's campaign for heaven, but every time he needed a hero from Liangshan to take action, he would retreat.

At that time, Jiang Hongfei actually knew that no matter how he tried to win over Wu Song, Wu Song would not go to Liangshan now. Even if he was forced to go to Liangshan, he would not be happy, because this is not what he wants now.

But to be honest, Jiang Hongfei, who wanted Wu Song so much, was really unwilling to let Wu Song go down the mountain!

Only then did Jiang Hongfei establish the Fourth Army.

Jiang Hongfei wanted Wu Song to see that what he could give him was really more than what others could give him. He could command 500 regular soldiers, 500 auxiliary soldiers, and a total of 1,000 people at his own place. Apart from himself, who else could Can you use him so much?

But although Wu Song was ready to move, he still lowered his head at the last moment.

Seeing this, Jiang Hongfei could only sigh in his heart, and then changed his mind temporarily and said: "Brother Yu Chengxian will be the leader of the Fourth Bu Army, and brother Nie Gongxian will be the deputy leader."

Seeing that Jiang Hongfei would rather hand over the Fourth Infantry Army to a fourteen-year-old boy than embarrass him, Wu Song felt extremely guilty and ashamed.

Wu Song didn't even dare to look at the Liangshan heroes who usually called him brothers.

——At this moment, Wu Song felt like an unfaithful and unjust traitor.

In the evening, Wu Song went to Jiang Hongfei and said, "I haven't heard from my eldest brother for a long time. He is easily bullied because of his unsatisfactory height and appearance. I really don't trust him at home alone, so I want to go back to my hometown to take care of him."

Wu Song, who finally managed to say what he wanted to say, prayed in his heart: "Brother, please don't keep me here anymore. If you keep me here anymore, I really don't know if I should secretly go down the mountain?"

Jiang Hongfei said with a smile: "Since Erlang has decided to leave, how dare he stay here as a brother? If Erlang has some free time in the future, how long will it take for Erlang to come and meet me again in Shuibo Liangshan?"

Wu Song felt relieved after hearing this, and bowed to Jiang Hongfei on the ground: "Thank you, brother!"

Early the next morning, Wu Song took off the new red silk jacket that Jiang Hongfei had sent to him the previous morning and put on the old jacket he had worn before. He also wore a white Fanyang felt hat and put on his own He packed his things into a small package and left all the things Jiang Hongfei gave him in the room. He picked up a stick and came to say goodbye to Jiang Hongfei.

It can be seen that Wu Song was really embarrassed to ask for Jiang Hongfei's things because he did not stay in Shuibo Liangshan to serve Jiang Hongfei.

When Jiang Hongfei saw Wu Song coming to say goodbye, he said, "I'll give my dear brother a ride."

Wu Song did not shirk.

Jiang Hongfei personally sent Wu Song all the way to the Li family crossing where everyone came to stay at the hotel.

Wu Song said goodbye: "Brother, as the saying goes: After sending you thousands of miles away, you will have to say goodbye. If you are far away, please come back. All brothers are still waiting for my brother to come back to the mountain to discuss matters."

Jiang Hongfei said: "It's not too late."

Jiang Hongfei said again: "I still can't bear to part with you, dear brother. You and I will have another drink."

After saying that, Jiang Hongfei took Wu Song in to eat, and asked Han Bolong to prepare wine and food.

Seeing this, Wu Song could only lean on his stick and ask Jiang Hongfei to sit down at the upper table, and he would sit with him at the lower table.

The two drank wine for another day, until they looked at the red sun and the west, Wu Song said: "It is getting late, and my brother will not give up on Wu Er, so he accepts Wu Ersi's worship and worships him as a sworn brother."

After Wu Song finished speaking, he bowed his head four times.

Jiang Hongfei smiled and bowed to Wu Song four times, then sent Wu Song out to eat.

When he arrived at the door, Wu Song immediately saw the big black horse from the North that Jiang Hongfei had given him. There was also a large baggage and two long knives.

Seeing this, how could Wu Song not know that all the things he had rejected came back?

Just when Wu Song was about to refuse, Jiang Hongfei took the lead and said, "You and I have not broken off our friendship, so what are you doing with these foreign things? Don't forget that you just made me your step-brother. It's a gift from my step-brother. Is there any reason not to accept it?”

Wu Song wanted to say something more, but he saw Jiang Hongfei's stern face: "Dear brother, don't worry too much, I won't force you as a brother. If you continue to refuse, I will not recognize you as a brother."

Wu Song had no choice but to accept it, bid farewell to Jiang Hongfei again, and led his horse away.

After walking thirty or fifty miles, Wu Song sat down to rest and took the two long swords to look at them.

I saw that the two long swords were exactly the same, with a blade length of about three feet and twelve feet, and a beautiful scabbard made of demon shark skin, which was very beautiful.

When Wu Song took out one sword, the hinge of the hundred-forged snowflake iron tiger was silver-white, and there was a tiger pattern engraved on the blade. When the sword was unsheathed, it was cold and murderous, as if it could kill thousands of powerful enemies.

Wu Song took out another sword, which was also exactly the same.

Needless to say, anyone who knows swords can see that these two long swords must be excellent swords - swords that cannot be measured by spiritual money.

Wu Song tried the two long swords and felt that the length, weight and weight were very suitable for his hands.

Seeing this, how could Wu Song not think that these two long swords must have been specially ordered by Jiang Hongfei to help him refine the craftsmen on Liangshan Marsh?

Looking at the two long swords, Wu Song felt ashamed and even had the urge to return to Liangshan!

He opened the bundle that Jiang Hongfei prepared for him. Wu Song flipped through it casually and found that all the things Jiang Hongfei gave him were in the bundle.

Soon, Wu Song saw a purse. When he opened it, he found that there were 1,000 Lingshi in it!

"Brother, you are afraid that I will have no way to make a living after returning home!"

Seeing that Jiang Hongfei even thought of this detail, Wu Song was so moved that he could not express it in words. He could only look towards the direction of Liangshan Marsh with tears in his eyes and bow for a long time...

"Brother treats me like this and doesn't make things difficult for me. It's really a great loyalty. It's worth my life to meet such a brother."

After a long time, Wu Song got up from the ground and continued to rush towards Qinghe County.

After walking on the road for a few days, Wu Song arrived at the ground of Yanggu County.

It's still a long distance from Yanggu County.

It was noon, Wu Song was thirsty, and saw a hotel in front of him, with a flag in front of the door, and five words written on it: "Three bowls, no crossing the hill".

What Wu Song didn't notice was that there was a notice next to it, which read:

There is a monster tiger in the mountain, with hanging eyes and a big white forehead. It has killed more than 30 powerful Qigong masters. The court now restricts hunting and trapping, and will punish those who are caught. Travelers must form a team and cross the hill under the escort of powerful Qigong masters during the three hours of Si, Wu, and Wei. They are not allowed to cross the hill during the other six hours of Yin, Mao, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. Moreover, single guests are not allowed to cross the hill during the day, and must act according to the order...
