Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 4

...

"Every soldier in Liangshan must keep in mind that there are three major disciplines. First, follow the command in all actions. Only by keeping pace can we win victory. Second, we don't take the people's needles and threads. The people support and like me. Third, everything captured must be returned to the public. Work hard. To reduce the burden on the common people, we must implement the three major disciplines. Everyone must be conscious of observing the discipline, and supervise each other so as not to violate it. Liangshan’s disciplines must be clearly remembered. The common people and soldiers love the common people everywhere, and the defense of Liangshan will always move forward!”

He glanced at Li Yan who was leading Du Qian, Song Wan, and nearly a thousand minions who were much more energetic than the Forbidden Army to sing, and then glanced at the "Walking for the Heaven" banner above their heads, Wang Lun was a little ashamed. He didn't fully understand the real meaning of Li Yan's seemingly useless banner when he divided the food and set up this seemingly useless banner until today!
In the past six months, Li Yan has frequently brought people down the mountain to "do justice for the heavens", but he has done nothing to the poor people, and he has traded fairly with the people around him, even at high prices.

The benefits of doing this are obvious.

As a result, people's hearts were won over, and Shuibo Liangshan had a large base at the foot of the mountain.

Secondly, the stronghold was strengthened, allowing the Liangshan Army to grow from a dozen people to more than 1000 people now, plus no less than 3000 people including old and young family members.

Three times, people in Liangshanbo are all proud of being Liangshanbo people.

Four years later, the reputation of Shuibo Liangshan and Li Yan has also started-now, Shuibo Liangshan is already famous, it is one of the top mountains in the rivers and lakes, and Li Yan is also the number one hero in the rivers and lakes!

At the end of the song, Li Yan said: "The rest time is over, continue training!"

Du Qian shouted: "Let the first battalion gather!"

Song Wan shouted: "The second battalion gathers!"

It didn't even take a minute for the soldiers of the two battalions to assemble neatly!

Li Yan ordered: "Run up the mountain, two laps...run away!"

After speaking, Li Yan wanted to lead the two battalions of soldiers to run in the mountains!

At this moment, Wang Lun shouted: "Master!"

Seeing that Wang Lun had something to do with him, Li Yan said, "Du Qian, take them to the mountains."

When Du Qian took away the two battalions of soldiers, Wang Lun came to Li Yan's side.

It is true that Wang Lun is narrow-minded, jealous and capable, and also somewhat petty.

But it cannot be said that Wang Lun is incapable.

Not to mention other things, his foresight to create a foundation in this [-]-mile water pond where land and water are connected, advancing, attacking, retreating, and defending is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

As for making things difficult for Lin Chong and Chao Gai, you can say that he is narrow-minded, jealous, and petty, but you can also say that he has a strong sense of crisis.

When Lin Chong went up the mountain, he thought, he is a tried and tested scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken. He only has Du Qian and Song Wan, two reckless men with ordinary martial arts, and Lin Chong is the instructor of the imperial guards in the capital. Rong Lin rushed up the mountain, and his position as village head might not be secure.

Let's talk about Chao Gai's group, the problem is even bigger, he has only five leaders, one of them is him who is powerless, the other is Lin Chong who has two hearts, and the other three are ordinary martial arts Du Qian, Song Wan and Zhu Gui, and Chao Gai's side are closely surrounded by Wu Yong, Liu Tang, the three heroes of the Ruan family, who are known as many stars, and Gongsun Sheng with strong Taoism. , who will be the boss by then?The result will definitely be the same as that after Chao Gai let Song Jiang go up the mountain, Song Jiang lifted Chao Gai up.

Moreover, if Chao Gai and his gang, who robbed the birth plan, were allowed to go up the mountain, it is very likely that the government will be encircled and suppressed, and then destroyed.

Therefore, with a strong sense of crisis, he wanted to send Lin Chong and Chao Gai away with 50 taels of silver and 250 taels of silver respectively, and then slowly develop.

As far as the matter is concerned, although Wang Lun did this, although he was a bit petty, he was not wrong in essence. You must know that the water park in Liangshan belonged to Wang Lun at that time. , what's wrong?
The so-called one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan, measured by Li Yan's eyes, are not bad guys, no more than half of them, and there are only ten or twenty of them with fair character, and no more than one number of real heroes. Most people's character is not as good as Wang Lun, so, as long as Wang Lun can't threaten Li Yan's position as the village leader, how can Li Yan not tolerate Wang Lun?

In addition, there is currently only one intellectual in Shuibo Liangshan, Wang Lun.

Therefore, Li Yan handed over all administrative matters to Wang Lun.

Looking at the two battalions of soldiers who were neatly organized, Wang Lun said sincerely: "You are truly elite!"

Li Yan shook his head: "They are just elite reserves, and there is still a long way to go before they become real elites. They need good generals to lead them to become real elites."

Wang Lun asked: "Can't Du Qian and Song Wan?"

Li Yan said bluntly: "It's okay for them to train the reserves, but they can't become good generals."

Li Yan, who didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, asked again: "Brother Wang Lun, what do you want from me?"

Seeing that Li Yan didn't want to discuss the general with him, Wang Lun was a little disappointed. With his ingenuity, how could he not understand that Li Yan didn't want him to intervene in military matters?

After calming down secretly, Wang Lun said, "There is a man named Zhu Gui who came to vote for our village. He said that he has a fortune of [-] yuan and wants to give it to the owner of the village."

Li Yan asked: "Zhu Gui? Is the dry land suddenly lawful?"

Wang Lun was surprised: "The village master has heard of his name?"

Li Yandao: "It should be Zhu Gui from Yishui County. There is a younger brother named Zhu Fu who is known as the smiling tiger."

Wang Lun said: "This...Xiao Ke still doesn't know."

Li Yan said: "Go and call him, and you'll find out when you ask."

Not long after, a tall, tall man with the appearance of Kui Hong came back with Wang Lun.

As soon as he arrived in front of Li Yan, Wang Lun couldn't wait to say: "The owner of the village is really a god. He is indeed from Yishui County, and he does have a younger brother named Zhu Fu, known as the smiling tiger!"

When they met for the first time, Li Yan gave Zhu Gui an unfathomable feeling—if Li Yan knew him, it would be fine, after all, he had been in the arena for a while, but Li Yan even knew his younger brother Zhu Fu You must know that his younger brother has never been in the rivers and lakes, and the so-called smiling tiger is just a joke of the villagers!

"It may be that extraordinary people have extraordinary abilities!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Gui gave a deep salute to Li Yan and said, "Village Master, I have a fortune of [-] Guan that I want to give you!"

Li Yan smiled and said, "You're talking about the birth date, right?"
