…

There is a mountain in the west of Surin Ridge, the name is called Hui Yan Peak, its mountain is extremely high, the wild goose can not cross, so there is this name.

As soon as Li Yan and the others entered Tian Hu's sphere of influence, Li Yan asked people to inquire about Baoqian Mountain, Tang Bin, Wen Zhongrong, and Cui Ye.

As a result, the people who went to inquire came back to report: there are Tang Bin, there are also Wen Zhurong, and Cui Ye, but this group of people is not in the calf mountain and the grass, but in the back of the Yanfeng grass, in addition, among this group of people, there is also a four-in-command, called "Qi Gong", the rivers and lakes are called "mountain splitting force", so that a big knife.

"Pulling out the mountain, shaking the mountain, moving the mountain, by the way, there is also this mountain-splitting wrestler, the name is right, and the nickname is also right, then it shouldn't be wrong."

Li Yan will not be entangled in why Tang Bin and his gang did not fall into the grass in Hushan Mountain but in Huiyanfeng, as long as the person is right.

Li Yan didn't say a word, so he took people to Huiyanfeng to recruit Tang Bin and his gang.

Why did you say why Li Yan took the land route back to Liangshan.

In addition to going to see Liang Hongyu, the main reason why Li Yan took the land route back to Liangshan was to recruit heroes in order to expand the army.

Nowadays, Li Yan is not short of money, food, or soldiers, but he lacks generals - good generals.

It will be the courage of the soldiers, it will be the soul of the army, and the soldiers will be a nest of bears.

If there are no good generals, no matter how many elite soldiers there are, no matter how rich the logistics are, it is useless.

Therefore, Li Yancai personally went to Wang Qing and Tian Hu's territory.

First, Li Yan wanted to get closer to Wang Qing and Tian Hu's Wenchen military generals, and then touch the bottom of these people, so that Wang Qing and Tian Hu would be defeated and accept them in the future.

Second, Li Yan also wanted to see if Wang Qing and Tian Hu's forces had any heroes who had not been recruited by them, and then recruited them, after all, the heroes he recruited were the most loyal and the most assured to use.

The former is going well.

Under Li Yan's voice and momentum, most of the Wenchen generals under Wang Qing have a good impression of Li Yan, and if Wang Qing falls in the future, it should not be difficult to recruit them.

The latter has also achieved remarkable results.

Soon after leaving Zhejiang, Li Yan recruited the four heroes of Taihu Lake in Yuliuzhuang, Taihu Lake, namely: "Red Whiskered Dragon" Fei Bao, "Curly Tiger" Ni Yun, "Skinny Bear" Di Cheng, and "Taihu Jiao" Bu Qing.

After entering Wang Qing's territory, Li Yan inquired again that Shangguan Yi and Wei Zhaode had not yet been recruited by Wang Qing.

Shangguan Yi is a fierce general who is a strong opponent of Qin Ming and Yu Cheng without falling behind, and this person is very virtuous, he was defeated and killed himself.

Wei Zhaode, who was originally a pirate, climbed mountains and crossed the water like walking on the ground, and had the courage of ten thousand people, and his three subordinates Zhang Jingzu, Liu Yi, and Han Kai were all good at water warfare, and there were more than 300 good sailors who often went to sea.

Li Yan personally came to visit, and then threw out an olive branch, and easily recruited Shangguan Yi and Wei Zhaode, who were still ownerless.

Out of Wang Qing's sphere of influence On the way to Tianhu's sphere of influence, Li Yan recruited two more groups of heroes.

One of these two groups of heroes is Li Tianxi's gang of Turtle Ancestral Mountain.

This Li Tianxi is a celebrity in Hebei, Bian Xiang once admitted that he was not Li Tianxi's opponent, and Li Yan also knew that Li Tianxi had a person named Liu Kerang, who could fight Sun An for fifty rounds.

(It's just that Li Tianxi's luck is not good, when he fought with Sun An, the two only fought for twenty rounds, and they were knocked off the horse by Qiong Ying with one stone, and then killed by Lu Junyi, and he never showed his true strength.) However, it is not difficult to see Li Tianxi's strength from the fact that Sun An, Qiong Ying, and Lu Junyi joined forces to kill Li Tianxi. ）

When Li Yan and his entourage passed by Turtle Ancestral Mountain, Li Yan personally went up the mountain to visit Li Tianxi.

Li Yan's act of corporal Lixian moved Li Tianxi to the point that he took more than 1,000 people under his command and his family to Li Yan without saying a word.

The other group is the Flying Fox Village gang.

The person at the head is called Yuan Zhongliang.

This person has average skills, but he is an absolutely loyal person - defeated and captured, unwilling to surrender, and finally became a monk in the Tianwangtang with his father.

The key is that Yuan Zhongliang has two people under him, who are very skilled in martial arts, and they are very loyal and loyal, these two people are called: Sang Ying and Zan Tongmei.

Zan Tongmei more than 60 times defeated one of the eight hussars of Liangshan Golden Gunner Xu Ning, very brave, with this record, Zan Tongmei is a proper five tiger general level, and then Yuan Zhongliang was unwilling to surrender, Zan Tongmei and Yuan Zhongliang went into hiding together, loyal to the liver and courage.

Sang Ying was killed by Lu Zhishen, Li Kui, and Wu Song before he showed much performance, but Hebei General Sheng Ben once commented: "If you fight Sang Ying and Zan Tongmei, you can't underestimate the enemy, and you can take advantage of it." And Sang Ying was before Zan Tongmei, it can be seen that in Sheng Ben's eyes, Sang Ying's strength is not below Zan Tongmei.

In addition to Li Yan's initiative to recruit, there are many who are admired by themselves - although Li Yan's team did not use Li Yan's name, in order to recruit talents, they played two banners: "Shuibo Liangshan" and "Zhaoxian".

There are a lot of people who come to vote by themselves, but most of them are not well-known and their skills are average.

There are three groups of five people who are famous and powerful.

The first group is Yu Cheng, Yudeyuan, and Bian Jiang.

The reason why these three people came to vote for Li Yan is very simple - Yu Cheng and Yu Deyuan are both old acquaintances of Bian Xiang, and they have a lifelong friendship with Bian Xiang, and Bian Jiang is Bian Xiang's son.

In fact, in the early years, Bian Xiang intended to recruit Yu Cheng and Yu Deyuan to work for Li Yan, but Bian Jiang was too young at that time, and Li Yan's future was not clear at that time, out of the selfishness of his father's love, Bian Xiang did not ask Yu Cheng and Yu Deyuan to come, but asked them to help take care of Bian Jiang.

Now, Bian Jiang is fourteen years old, has his own ideas, and also has the impulse of a teenager, so he came to Li Yan to help.

Yu Cheng and Yu Deyuan couldn't stop it, so they followed.

Yu Cheng and Lu Zhishen fought for more than 50 years, regardless of victory or defeat, and later Yang Lin helped Lu Zhishen, and Bian Jiang also came out to help in the battle.

It can be seen from this record that Yu Cheng's strength is not far from Lu Zhishen, even if it is not as good as Lu Zhishen.

The key is that Yu Cheng is particularly loyal - Qin Ming and Yu Cheng joined forces and failed to defeat Shangguan Yi, just in time for someone to suddenly come to report the loss of the city, Shangguan Yi fled, Yu Cheng chased, but was caught by Shangguan Yi because the horse lost his front hoof, Shangguan Yi fled to Taoyang, Yu Cheng has been taken as a prisoner, Taoyang guard Liu Yijing persuaded Yu Cheng to surrender to Wang Qing, Yu Cheng refused to kneel, and scolded endlessly, Liu Yijing pushed him out and beheaded, only twenty-eight years old at the time.

Yu Deyuan and Dong Ping fought fifty or sixty times, regardless of victory or defeat, although they may not be able to enter the ranks of tiger generals, but they are proper generals.

Bian Jiang, who is only fourteen or fifteen years old, has the strength to be on par with Yang Lin, and he will inevitably be wrong in the future.

The second group can also be said to be the second one, which is faceless and anxious.

Jiao Ting has always intended to go to Shuibo Liangshan to join in, but because there is no way, he does not dare to go.

happened to meet Li Yan Zhaoxian, so he tried it hard.

Li Yan asked Yu Cheng to try his fists and feet with Jiao Ting, and found that Jiao Ting's fist and kick kung fu was very high, regardless of his strength, his fist and foot kung fu was not much worse than Wu Song.

In addition, Jiao Ting is a person who does not be affectionate, one is one, and two is two, if Jiao Ting is there, his personal guards will definitely be vigilant and make a lot of mistakes.

Based on these, Li Yan left Jiao Ting by his side as a personal companion.

The third group is also the third, Li Yan is ready to personally recruit the generals who have come to vote for him, and the military force value of this era should be able to rank among the top three - Yang Zaixing......
