In Chai Jin's Zhuangzi, that night, Gu Haotian lived with Lin Chong and Wu Song.

Although Wu Song was not accepted as an official disciple by Zhou Tong, he was a teacher for one day and a father for life, he was very grateful to this benefactor, and even with great respect for Lin Chong and Gu Haotian, the two official disciples, Gu Haotian was much younger than him, and he also called him a senior brother.

During this period, Gu Haotian talked in detail about Zhou Tong's experience in Gujiazhuang and Liangshan Manor, and the two were envious when they heard it.

"Master is an old man, I don't know how many people in this world want to see him and can't, but he rushed to Gujiazhuang alone to teach you art, and the junior brother is very blessed!" Lin Chong said with emotion.

"I met Zhou Daxia by chance that year, and got a set of leg techniques, and then I never had the chance to see each other again, which is really a pity." Wu Song also sighed.

"It's not difficult for the second brother Wu to see the master, before the old man left, he promised me that when the martial arts hall in my manor is built, he will come over to serve as the mountain chief, and the second brother only needs to live in my manor for some time, and he will meet if he can't." Gu Haotian saw that Wu Song missed Zhou Tong very much, so he took the opportunity to say.

"That's not bad!"

Wu Song's eyes lit up, but they dimmed again.

"It's just that there is an older brother at home, but he is a very honest character, if I am not at home, I am afraid he will be bullied."

"It's very difficult, just call them to go to the manor together, now there are nearly 20,000 people in the manor, and there are all kinds of things, so they won't let Da Lang go hungry."

Gu Haotian knew that Wu Song was very considerate to his brother, so he invited him to go over, but he thought in his heart that now that there was no Pan Jinlian, then Wu Dalang might not have to be poisoned.

Na Wu Song was very moved when he heard this, so he said that he would go home and tell his brother about it the next day, and then make a decision.

Let's say that although Lin Chong and Gu Haotian have met for a long time and spent a lot of time together, they don't know much about the strength of Liangshan Manor, just now I heard that the manor is going to build a martial arts hall, and then I heard that there are 20,000 people in it, Yi Jia was surprised, and thought about his actions in the capital, as well as those strong people around him, he couldn't help but ask:

"Senior brother, what kind of place is your manor, and how can there be such a large population?"

"I was supposed to tell my senior brother about this matter when I went up the mountain, but now that I have asked each other, and Second Brother Wu is not an outsider, I will carefully talk to the two of you."

So Gu Haotian started from the original intention of establishing Liangshan Manor, and talked about the current scale of the manor, especially when it came to the escort team, a total of thirteen battalions of personal guards, teaching, horses, infantry, and water, eight or nine thousand team members, and dozens of leaders, both of them were shocked to hear.

Wu Song blurted out and asked: "Senior brother has recruited a lot of soldiers and horses, but he can't rebel. ”

However, as soon as the words came out, Wu Song thought that he had lost his words and was about to apologize. saw Gu Haotian smile lightly and said indifferently:

"Although it will not be a rebellion, if someone deceives the door and covers anyone, I will not let it be slaughtered, even if it is the emperor Laozi, I am not afraid."

"What the junior brother said is reasonable, now that there are a lot of people and wealth in the manor, and there are ordinary court criminals like me, sooner or later they will be targeted, so it is always right to make some preparations as soon as possible. Senior brother, I am in the forbidden army in the capital, I am a leader, and I am also worried that there is nothing to do in the manor, so it just so happens that the senior brother will also get a few hundred people for me, and I will definitely bring out a strong army in the manor. ”

Lin Chong also understood his junior brother's intentions at this time, and immediately asked him to lead the troops. Gu Haotian had other ideas about his use, the guards in the manor had been trained by the training camp, and the personal tactical literacy of the team members was no longer a problem, but few had experience in the tactics of infantry and cavalry, and Lin Chong could just give full play to his strengths. Gu Haotian planned to set up a training camp for grassroots officers in the escort unit before the establishment of the lecture hall, focusing on explaining the tactics of fighting in battle to the commanders, captains, company commanders, and other grassroots troop leaders.

"It's a pity that Senior Brother went to bring a few team members, I intend to let you be the chief instructor of the escort team and teach everyone the actual combat skills."

Lin Chong saw that his junior brother valued himself so much, so he stopped talking. But Wu Song suddenly spoke:

"Two senior brothers, if I go to the manor one day, but I have to give me a battalion belt anyway, the battalion commander of hundreds of people feels majestic when he thinks about it."

"If Second Brother Wu goes to the manor, I will definitely fulfill your wish."

Gu Haotian just talked about the strength of the manor in detail, but in fact, he had the intention of attracting Wu Song, and he was really fascinated by it, so he immediately agreed.

"It's so good, I'll go out of the village with the two senior brothers tomorrow, and go back to my hometown to ask my brother to come over and go up the mountain together." This time, Wu Song no longer said that he would discuss with his brother, but only said that he would call his brother and go.

This night, the three brothers chatted until late at night. On the second day, the group was going to say goodbye, but Chai Jin was struggling to stay, Gu Haotian thought that it would take five or six days to wait for Zhao Ding and them to come over anyway, but it was quieter here, so Li Kui went to bring the people from outside in, and lived in Chai Jin's Zhuangzi with peace of mind.

The five or six days passed quickly, between the contests and feasts of the people. On this day, news came that Zhao Ding and the others had arrived in Cangzhou. The group said goodbye to Chai Jin, and disturbed Gu Haotian for several days, but he knew that if he paid money, he would refuse to accept it, so he finally took ten horizontal knives from Li Kui's horizontal knife camp and gave them to him, which made him overjoyed.

Wu Song had been yearning for Liangshan since that night, and in the past few days, he had a very close relationship with Bian Xiang and others, so he left with Gu Haotian.

Let's say that the Zhou Dynasty mission came out of the Daimyo's Mansion, walked and stopped, and finally arrived in Cangzhou, but the Cangzhou Mansion and his party made them angry again.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhao Ding came out of the government with a gloomy face, just now he went in to ask the Cangzhou prefect for a boat, but the prefect said that the best two boats sent the Jurchen delegation back to China, and there were only a few old ships left at the dock. Zhao Ding had originally made an agreement with Gu Haotian, and he didn't care about any ships, but the official's yin and yang weird tone made him very annoyed.

"Brother Zhao is angry, but where are you going?"

Zhao Ding was walking hatefully, and suddenly heard someone calling him on the side, but when he saw that it was Gu Haotian and others standing at the door of a restaurant, he immediately turned around.

"What kind of mission is this, it's better to call it a dead group, but there is no yamen to see all the way, this Cangzhou Mansion actually said that all good ships will be sent to the Jurchens, and there are only a few broken boats left, which is really annoying."

In the private room, as soon as Zhao Ding sat down, he was on fire.

Gu Haotian knew that the prefect only told half the truth, it was true that the good ship was gone, but it was just that the Liangshan Manor was cheapened, and the Jurchen arms were robbed, and the Cangzhou Mansion probably didn't dare to report it.

"Brother Zhao doesn't need to catch fire for this trivial matter, tomorrow he will go to the Sailor Wharf to choose two to use, and he will say that the Cangzhou Sailor is unusable, and he will find someone to sail the boat, and then my people will pretend to be sailors to get on the boat, and when we get to the sea, we will be the masters ourselves."

Zhao Ding listened to Gu Haotian's persuasion, and after thinking about it, he was no longer angry, and the two sides discussed and went separately.

On the second day, Zhao Ding and Wang Yu arrived at the Sailor Wharf and picked up two passing boats. The sailor general knew that the mission was going to die, and when he heard that the people who didn't want them were grateful, he picked a boat for him, and said that as long as the mission had enough men, he just drove away.

Of course, Zhao Ding and the others were not too much, and ordered the sailors to take care of the ship, and in the afternoon someone came to take over, and then went back.

In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Haotian and his entourage, with some sailors hired in advance, boarded three ships separately, and then set sail for the sea.

Xu Churen's body came all the way to good and bad, and he never recovered, and when he got on the boat at the dock, Gu Haotian was afraid that the old man would not end up if he suddenly got up, so he got on another boat first. It wasn't until dawn the next day, when the fleet arrived at the open sea, that Gu Hao asked the ship to take a few people across the boat.

In the cabin, Xu Churen lay there weakly, and after a day and a night of turbulence, his condition seemed to worsen again. Gu Haotian's sudden appearance surprised him, and then he figured out what to do, so he asked excitedly:

"Does Haotian want to trap the old man in injustice?"

"Don't be angry, but listen to me." Gu Haotian stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed and whispered something soft.

"Adults are not in the name of a gentleman, but they are a gentleman, and the boy is fortunate to be taught by an adult, and then he knows the way of being a man. Just now, when you say 'fall into injustice', you don't know whether you are referring to the righteousness of the country and the nation, or the righteousness of the court and the king. If he lays down his life for the sake of this dark court and the mediocre king, the boy will not know where righteousness comes from. Taishi Gong once said, 'People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than the feathers', the adults know that the court and the emperor let you go to the Jin Kingdom to die, and you don't cherish the useful body, to do a senseless death, is Mount Tai or a feather, I think you know in your heart. In fact, I also know that the boss can't pass the level of the monarch and the ministers in his heart, but you also have to distinguish what kind of monarch you are loyal to. Ji Fa was originally a minister of the Shang Dynasty, Han Xin was also an old general of the King of Chu, and Taizu of the Tang Dynasty was the cousin of the Sui Emperor, but their actions, did later generations say that they were unjust? ”

Gu Haotian observed Xu Churen's expression as he spoke, only to see his expression slowly decline, and he paused for a moment before continuing.

"Besides, it's not the adults who went to the Jin Kingdom alone, there are also Lord Zhao, General Wang, and dozens of soldiers, all of whom are people with families and dependents. It's just that adults don't risk their own lives, but why are they innocent? If they kill the enemy in front of the battle and die on the battlefield, they may be able to fight for the glory of a wife and a son, but if they die in the Jin Kingdom this time, the court will punish them for the crime of destroying the alliance between the two countries, and then not only will they die in vain, but they will also suffer their families. Adults can recruit these people to ask, but they are willing to go to the Kingdom of Jin to die. ”

When he said this, Gu Haotian saw Xu Churen's painful face, and he didn't dare to stimulate him anymore, so he said:

"That's all the kid says today, forget the old man and think twice."

Outside the cabin, Zhao Ding, Wang Yu and others quietly gathered outside, and what Gu Haotian said to Xu Churen, they also heard it clearly, everyone had a feeling, and their hearts were much brighter. When Gu Haotian opened the door and came out, everyone's eyes were a little respectful.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Wang, tell the boat to turn around and go south, Lord Xu is not in good health, and he must be treated with extended medical treatment."

Zhao Ding and Wang Yu heard this, and immediately responded loudly. That Xu Churen understood it inside, sighed in his heart, and sure enough, it was what the people wanted, so he didn't say anything anymore, just lay on the bed and didn't know, and went with them.
