Spring is coming, the birds are dancing and flying up the branches, and the sun is shining in the sky. A warm breeze blows, and the county seems to be more prosperous. Wu Song wore slightly comfortable clothes, went to the county yamen, and the county order and the big and small officials in the city, went to the suburbs to welcome the angels, the county order Xu Han had already received the emperor's imperial book, and then the prime minister's province. Xu Han was appointed as the governor of the state of raiding Qingfu and the governor of the soldiers and horses, and Wu Song was appointed as the commander of the commander of the state of raiding the Qingfu Prefecture and the deputy governor of the soldiers and horses.

Everyone welcomed out of the county seat for more than ten miles, and finally received the eunuch who came to read the holy decree, and then welcomed back to the county hall, set up the incense case, after bathing and changing clothes, came to the main hall to kneel to receive the holy decree, the eunuch with a serious face, straightened his voice, and began to read: I am favored by the heavens, adhering to the foundation of Taizu Taizong. Since his accession to the throne, he has been diligent in political affairs, lest he lose the land of the emperor and the ancestors. and make it difficult for all nations to settle down. Although I have worked hard all night, it is still difficult to make the government affairs perfect. I often hear that Shang Tang uses Yi Yin, and the country is governed, and King Wu of Zhou uses Jiang Shang and the emperor is prosperous. I emulate the sages and promote the virtuous. The country is slightly rejuvenated. Today, I heard that Xu Han, the county commander of Yanggu County, was honest and virtuous, and I was very comforted, worshiped as the doctor of Chaosan, and the right to know the affairs of Qingfu Prefecture, and the supervisor of soldiers and horses, and the military and civil affairs in the state. It was also heard that Wu Song, the county lieutenant, was loyal to the king, had meritorious service, and was specially advanced as the Sima of the Qingfu Army, and was also the deputy supervisor of the soldiers and horses. Lieutenant Renyong and Bao Yoshiro were rewarded. Wangqing is diligent. ''''''''''

After the eunuch finished reading, he showed a smile on his face, arched his hand and said to Xu Han: "Congratulations to Lord Xu for his promotion to Zhizhou." Xu Han was so busy that he said with a smiling face: "There is Father-in-law Lao,

The carriage and horses are tired, and there is tea in the inner hall. Wu Song saw the ancient eunuchs for the first time, he was very curious, and talked with him, and then Xu Han ordered a cadre of people to reward ten copper coins each, and gave the eunuch who announced the decree a few hundred copper coins. The eunuch was so happy that he got up and took his leave.

Xu Han was overjoyed, so he threw a feast.

The next day, he ordered a cadre of officials in the county to clean up the treasury and sort out the documents. Two days later, the new county commander arrived and the delivery of affairs was completed, so he sorted out his family and went to Yanzhou to take up his post in Yanzhou, where he went to Xiqing Mansion with Wu Song.

Wu Song and Xu Han's luggage and belongings packed up seven or eight ox carts, and the others hired another seven or eight carriages. Rushing to Yanzhou, passing through Shouzhang County, Shouzhang County sent 50 sergeants to escort it, and at noon that day, suddenly shouted loudly, and a group of bandits rushed up on horseback. The first person is the Chao Gai, who is known as the King of Tota.

Wu Song stepped forward and knew in his heart that he must be a good man on Liangshan, and said: "Wu Song, in Xiayanggu County, accompanied Xu Guanren to Yanzhou to take office. ”

Chao Gai said: "I heard that the white-faced Zhong Kui Wusong of Yangu County is famous, and I admire it very much, and I came to visit, and I would like to invite my brother to go to Liangshan, and I am willing to be the lord of Liangshan." ”

Wu Song was about to answer, but when he saw Yue Fei, he stepped forward on his flying horse, pointed his gun at Chao Gai and scolded loudly: "You wait for thieves, you have done a lot of evil, and you want to come to deceive my uncle, see me take you and sacrifice you at my uncle's feet." Then he stabbed his gun at Chao Gai.

Chao Gai saw Yue Fei stabbing with a spear, and hurriedly retreated to his side, wanting to send someone to meet him for a while, but he was afraid that some people with poor martial arts would not be serious, and he would hurt Yue Fei again, so he said to Lin Chong, the head of the leopard: "Brother Lin, you can go and guide him a few moves, you need not to hurt the virtuous nephew." Lin Chong immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother, don't worry." "Just fight with Yue Fei. Twenty rounds down, no winner or loser. Lin Chong exclaimed in his heart: "I can't imagine that this young man, his martial arts are so exquisite, if he uses all his strength, I am afraid that he will not be able to take it back, and he will be injured, and I don't know how to deal with it." ”

Wu Song saw that Lin Chong was really extraordinary, no wonder later generations called him one of the five tiger generals of Liangshan. Then he urged him to step forward and scolded Yue Fei and said: "Fei'er's "Grandpa Yue Fei's Strange Novel", don't stop it quickly. "Although Yue Fei's martial arts are extraordinary, he is always young and inexperienced, and he also knows that if he wants to capture Lin Chong, it is almost impossible. Then he stopped and retreated behind Wu Song. Wu Song arched his hand and said: "Brother's martial arts are extraordinary, could it be that Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, is the little nephew unreasonable, which makes the brother laugh." Lin Chong hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's Xiao Ke Lin Chong." Then he said: "I have heard for a long time that the white-faced Zhong Kui Wusong is righteous and his martial arts are extraordinary. Now that the court is mediocre and appoints traitors, why don't you kill the corrupt officials and go up the mountain with me, wouldn't you be happy without restraint. Wu Song said: "Brother and other kind, I understand it." Now Lord Xu Han, honest and honest, will be able to help the community in the future, and ask his brothers to borrow the way. ”

Chao Gai said helplessly: "Since my brother refuses, can you go up the mountain and eat a few glasses of water and wine to comfort our admiration." Wu Song stepped forward and arched his hand: "I have heard that the Heavenly King of Chao is superb in martial arts, why don't you fight with me for a few rounds." "Then I will come forward,

Chao Gai was a little annoyed and took the weapon, and fought with Wu Song, after a few rounds, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, this Wu Song's martial arts are really powerful. At this time, the weapons collided and suddenly heard Wu Song whisper: "Brother, this is not the place to speak, the younger brother has admired his brother for a long time, but the younger brother is now in the officialdom, and he has sworn with Xu Hanzhizhou to protect the people of a state. If he is free in the day, he will come to the mountain to find his brother to apologize. Chao Gai was overjoyed when he heard Wu Song's words. He said happily while he was free: "I see, I will be defeated, you can chase after me, and we will talk again." Then Chao Gai pretended to lose his weapon and left, and shouted: "Hurry back, this person is strong in martial arts, and he is not capable of the enemy." "Then pull out the horse and leave. Wu Song shouted: "Where to go." So he chased after him. Lin Chong and the others saw that Chao Gai and Wu Song were indistinguishable from each other, and there must be a reason for their sudden defeat, so they asked the minions to quickly return to Shangzhai. He followed Chao Gai in defeat and retreated.

Chao Gai saw a place where no one was, so he stopped. Wu Song arrived. Hurriedly got up, dismounted, knelt on the ground and said, "The elder brother is above, and the younger brother is polite." Chao Gai hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Brother, why don't you go up the mountain with me to eat some wine, so that you can meet all the brothers." Wu Song said: "Brother, don't persuade again, the younger brother will come to visit another day." Now it is out of fashion. Then the crowd arrived. asked Wu Song to go up the mountain again, but Wu Song just refused. The crowd had no choice but to give up. Wu Song talked to everyone for a while, and then said goodbye and left.

When Xu Han saw Wu Song killing the thieves, he hurriedly beckoned everyone to hurry up, and ordered Yue Fei and Xue Yong to meet Wu Song. Wu Song came back and happened to meet the two, so he led him to the brigade. Xu Han was relieved when he saw Wu Song return safely. Everyone passed through Yunzhou, the Dongping Mansion, Xu Han and Wu Song said: "Passing by the old man's office, I want to pay a visit." Then everyone went to Yunzhou to rest. The prefect of Dong Ping was overjoyed to see Xu Han and held a banquet to entertain him. The next day, he ordered Dong Ping, the supervisor of the soldiers and horses, to escort all the way to Gong County, Qingfu, before turning around. The county magistrate of Gong County greeted Xu Han and the others, and then notified the state officials to come to greet them. Only then did Xu Han arrive safely at the Bianxian County Office. Then all the officials in the state, big and small, came to see it. Xu Han threw a feast and entertained all the officials.
