is also a military general of the imperial court, but Yang Zhi's morale is much higher than Lin Chong and Luda, and he also looks down on the heroes on the rivers and lakes.

Even if Huang Nigang lost his birthday and couldn't return to the court, after hearing Cao Zheng say that Erlong Mountain was a good place, he wanted to take away his life, rather than join the gang like Lin Chong and Luda.

However, in Wang Lun's view, Yang Zhi is not bold enough, and he may not be as reliable as Lin Chong and Luda.

Before escorting the birth gang, Yang Zhi said the order in front of Liang Zhong's writing, which can be regarded as insightful.

Liang Zhongshu also trusted him and asked Lao Duguan and Yu Hou to listen to Yang Zhi, but when he arrived on the road, Yang Zhi was afraid of Lao Duguan and let him ridicule him all the way, causing the soldiers to become more and more dissatisfied with him.

When he arrived in Huangnigang, he was even more changed his mind by the old capital manager and asked everyone to buy wine and eat, which ended up burying his last chance in officialdom.

If you change Ruda, I'm afraid you will shout to Lao Duguan early: "Shut your beak." ”

cherishing Yang Zhi is a character, Wang Lun directly opened his mouth to invite, pointed at Lin Chong and said to Yang Zhi: "Look at Brother Lin, he is the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, called the head of the leopard; Because this Gao Taiwei is not a good person, he will find trouble and assassinate Cangzhou. Now that it is new here, it can be seen that the court is mediocre. But he was a guilty man, and although he was forgiven, it was difficult to return to his former position; And Gao Yu is in charge of the army, how can he tolerate you? It's better to just rest the horse in the small village, divide the gold and silver in a big scale, eat wine and meat in a big bowl, and be a good man together. What is the idea of the unblessed system? ”

Seeing that Wang Lun invited him to fall into the grass, Yang Zhi replied with a high spirit: "I am so led by the leaders again, but the restaurant has a relative, and I see that I live in Tokyo." The former has been involved in official affairs, and he has not been rewarded, and today he wants to go there, hoping that the leaders will return the luggage of the family. If he refused to return it, Yang Zhi also went empty-handed. ”

Wang Lun had to analyze it for him again, and said: "You are a group of ten people who bear the Huashi Gang, and only you are missing, then the rest of the people will definitely put the responsibility on your head." The matter of Huashigang, the world is shaken, but you have not ruined the reputation of Jiangmen! ”

Lin Chong was also on the side at this time to help Wang Lun lobby, "Commander Yang, now that the world is black and white, there is no place for us and others, it is better to be a tiger than to be free!" ”

"The family is innocent, and they refuse to stain their parents' last gifts, hoping to put their skills together, shoot and knife in the side court, and win a wife and son, and also compete with their ancestors." Yang Zhi was a little depressed, but thinking of the ancestors of the Yang family, he still had hope, and said vigorously: "It shouldn't be like this!" Not so! ”

The Northern Song Dynasty was a weak dynasty, and the local government had little military strength. In the era of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, there were many civil uprisings and foreign enemies. The central government has a large army, with an astonishing military expenditure but low combat effectiveness. This makes it easier for the bandits to engage in organized illegal activities, and even provides "opportunities".

Lu Da, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Song Jiang and others, from the military officers and petty officials of the imperial court, they knew the official system of the Great Song Dynasty well, and they also understood the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty, so their hesitation before falling into the grass was just "sprinkling the family's innocent surname, and refusing to defile the last gift of their parents". Without saying anything about "a life of licking blood from the knife's edge, nine heads are enough", they do not overestimate the risk of sanctions for violent activities.

It can be seen from Yang Zhi's words that the heroes of Liangshan did not have fear of the imperial court. "Bandits come out of office" is an interesting feature. Related to this, the bandits in "Water Margin" still have a sense of identity, and even a reverence for the law and state power. The bandits on Liangshan have positioned themselves from "avengers" of an unjust society to "executors who do the right thing for heaven" and uphold justice.

The peculiar thing is that as a group, Liangshan has a psychological advantage over the government, and is not afraid of the Great Song Dynasty, which represents the state apparatus, and even has a sense of honor that "Lao Tzu was born to kill"; However, as independent individuals, there were differences: although there were such bent bandits as the Ruan brothers and Li Kui, the ruling faction on Liangshan was willing to get close to the imperial court, and they even humbly approached the imperial court and urgently took measures to promote "Zhao'an".

Shi Bao and Yang Lin also wanted to persuade Yang Zhi again, but were stopped by Wang Lun. It's okay to say goodbye, according to Yang Zhi's trajectory, everyone is still in the same way, so that the birth gang will not go wrong.

Wang Lun raised his glass at Yang Zhi and said with a smile: "Since the envoy is unwilling to be here, how dare he force him to join the gang." And please stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning. ”

Lin Chong also sighed, "That's it! Everyone has their own ambitions, and it is good to instruct us not to forget our feelings! ”

Yang Zhi was overjoyed, and immediately drank with several leaders without mentioning it. waited for Wang Lun and others to go up the mountain, looking at the scale of the cottage, dozens of heroes also smacked their tongues.

That night, Yang Zhi slept. The next morning, when they got up, Wang Lun and the others put wine and saw Yang Zhi off.

After breakfast, the leaders asked a little minions to pick up the burden of last night and send them all down the mountain.

Came to the intersection and said goodbye to Yang Di. Tell the little minions to cross the river and send them out of the road. Everyone said goodbye and returned to the cottage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the foot of Erlong Mountain, there is a small wine shop.

Cao Zheng has been very unhappy recently, he was originally from Kaifeng Mansion, his ancestors were born as butchers, and he was good at killing pigs and cattle and peeling cattle, so he was called "the ghost of the knife". has a wide reputation in Kaifeng, but he went to Qingzhou to do business for a rich man, but because he accidentally offended the big man in the official face, he lost all his capital and couldn't return to his hometown, and he had nowhere to go, so he could only wander in Qingzhou.

Later, a wealthy family in Qingzhou recruited Cao Zheng as a son-in-law, and the father-in-law's family helped Cao Zheng and his wife open a hotel. Cao Zheng was born as a butcher, he is very good at slaughtering livestock, and he also has many skills in making meat, and the hotel business is really good. Cao Zheng and his wife are also very affectionate, and their lives are happy.

It's just that in the past six months, I have been blackmailed by the strongmen of Erlong Mountain for a long time, and I am distressed with a meal of wine today and a meal of meat tomorrow!

Looking at his wife and uncle who were waiting for the big boss of Erlongshan at the wine table, Cao Zheng was upset for a while: How good it would be if my master was here!

Cao Zheng was not paying attention, and the golden-eyed tiger Deng Long and his subordinates also had a casual chat. Since the last time Zhensanshan Huang Xin swept the ground of Qingzhou, he was not at ease on Erlong Mountain. The minions under his command were surrendered by the officers and soldiers, and the slaughtered were killed, and three out of ten were gone.

His eyes swept over the boning knife in Cao Zheng's hand, and Deng Long's mind moved. "I said Brother Cao Zheng, what is the point of you guarding this small wine shop, why don't you go with me!"

After listening to Deng Long's solicitation, Cao Zheng came back to his senses and looked at Deng Long and smiled. "Deng is the family of love, but the little brother is not from the green forest!"

Deng Long often ate and drank here with Cao Zheng, and also saw Cao Zheng's martial arts. It would be great if he went up the mountain and had a helper for himself. "Brother Cao, I'll listen to you, if you go up the mountain with us, you will sit in the second place!"

Deng Long's words surprised the minions around him, when will we be generous.

Cao Zheng didn't care about Deng Long's promise, and politely refused: "The little brother is not free and easy, and he can't learn to be in charge of Deng!" ”

Seeing that Cao Zheng rejected him twice, Deng Long lost face, put down the wine bowl with a "bang", and stood up. "Your master Lin Jiaotou has fallen into the grass, but you still care about your identity!" After speaking, he didn't look at Cao Zheng, and left with his minions.

Cao Zheng wanted to inquire again, but Deng Longli ignored it.
