Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 564 Taking refuge
After seeing off the advance officer Li San, Zhao Zhen sent a pigeon letter to Wu Yong of the Guangji Army, asking Wu Yong to pick up one or two people.

After hearing about Zhao Zhen's arrangement, Tu Qiao took the initiative to take Zhao Zhen back to her residence at night.

On the second day, Zhao Zhen and Tu Qiao both got up late, causing Hu Sanniang and Chen Liqing to laugh at them.

"Pretty lady, you laughed at others yesterday, why are you doing this today?"

Tu Qiao spat and didn't say anything.

With a red face, he rode on the iron-backed and silver-maned horse and ran away.

Two days later, news came from Wu Yong that Liang Heng had entered Dingtao County with his family and would be able to go to Liangshan in the next two days.

When Zhao Zhen saw this, he called Zhu Wu.

After telling the story of Liang Heng, Zhao Zhen asked, "Brother Zhu Wu, Liang Heng was originally the military commander of Xingren Prefecture. Although he has no choice but to surrender, he must be properly settled. Which prefecture is suitable?"

Zhu Wu heard this and said, "Sir, the Guangji Army is the best."

Wu Yong continued, "Sir, the Guangji army is facing enemies on three sides. When the personal cavalry battalion and Ruan Xiaoqi's soldiers come back, the Guangji army will only have commander Pang Yi and supervisor Fu Yu, who command 5,000 soldiers and horses, which is not enough to deal with them. This Liang Heng is here at the right time. He is an experienced soldier and the supervisor of the Xingren Prefecture. Now that he has been wronged, it is a good opportunity for him to confront Ji Anbang."

Zhao Zhen nodded again and again. Liu Hui Niang said, "We must be on guard against his self-torture tactics. Liang Jie, the son of Liang Dujian, can be an envoy in Liangshan Prefecture to arrest people."

Zhao Zhen listened, pondered for a moment and said: "One of the bandit-catching battalions of Zhu Tong and Lei Heng must be patrolling Liangshan Prefecture. It would be redundant to use Liang Jie. It would be better to send him to Yizhou. After He Tao went to Qingzhou, Lei Heng's bandit-catching battalion stayed in Yizhou most of the time. With Liang Jie, he can lead the Yizhou government officials and deal with the bandits in the mountains and forests."

Zhu Wu heard this and said, "This is the best. The mountain folk are cunning and some of them are bold. They have tasted the sweetness of getting something for nothing and have been robbing passing merchants from time to time. This is really a headache."

Liu Hui Niang sighed and said, "These people are hiding among the mountain people, and they are hiding the truth from each other. Unless the thieves and stolen goods are caught, the government will be helpless even if they go there."

Zhao Zhen heard this and sighed, "After what Song Jiang did, I wonder how many years it will take to restore the old ways."

"Fortunately, those who were restless in Qingzhou followed Song Jiang. Otherwise, the situation in Qingzhou would be even worse," said Zhu Wu.

On this day, Liang Heng hurriedly settled his family and brought his son Liang Jie to Baishi Manor. After passing the North City, all he saw along the way were soldiers training.

Liang Jie whispered, "Dad, Mr. Zhao Anfu is so bold that he has so many soldiers in his house."

Liang Heng glared at his son and scolded him, "Watch more and talk less."

After passing another city gate, Zou Run, who was leading the way, said, "This is the knife-grinding pavilion. The chief inspector's weapons will be left here. We will go to see the lord."

Upon hearing this, Liang Heng placed the spear in his hand on the whetstone. Seeing this, Liang Jie also took off his sword and put it down in the same way.

When Zou Run saw this, he led the two of them forward.

On the training ground, Zhao Zhen was competing in martial arts with Hu Sanniang. Tu Qiao, who was standing nearby, saw Zou Run and his men coming and quickly struck the gong.

Hearing the gong sound, Zhao Zhen and Hu Sanniang each jumped back a step. Seeing this, Rose and others hurried forward and took off Zhao Zhen's [Willow Leaf Bamboo Armor].

Zhao Zhen asked Zou Run to lead Liang Heng and his son to the hall, and he went to change his clothes first. In the hall, Liang Heng came forward to greet him, and Zhao Zhen said, "I don't want to see the governor again for another day."

Liang Heng said with shame: "I am incompetent and I let Gao Yanei and Ji Anbang force me to this end."

Zhao Zhen said, "It's not the general's fault. During the confrontation in Fan County, the old general caused Gao Shide to lose a lot of money. Now that he has the chance, he will naturally punish the general. I heard that the magistrate Gai Tianxi also gave him a bad face?"

Liang Heng said: "The magistrate is from an official family. When I left, he even visited me. Now he is fed up with it and plans to resign in a few days and return to his hometown in Runan."

Zhao Zhen heard this and sighed, "With all these corrupt officials in the court, how can we live in peace if we don't go along with them?"

Liang Jie said bitterly: "My husband is right. My father was unwilling to fight with my husband at the beginning, so Gao Shide held a grudge against him. He found my faults and attacked me, forcing my family to give up the family business."

Zhao Zhen said, "I also heard that the old general was treated unfairly, so I sent someone to speak up for him. I also sent someone to deliver a letter to the magistrate, but I'm afraid he will not come because he sees that I only follow orders and not decrees."

Liang Heng and his son listened and remained silent.

Zhao Zhen said, "General, you are a skilled warrior and good at commanding troops. Now that you have come to Liangshan, are you willing to serve as a military commander in the Guangji Army?"

Liang Heng heard this and gritted his teeth, saying, "Sir, Ji Anbang is too much of a bully. It's a pity that I am under his control and dare not defend myself. This guy came to Xingren Mansion just to guard against you, you must have known about it. Now that he has made up his mind to join you, he is naturally willing to go to Guangji Army to garrison."

As for Liang Jie, his martial arts skills were mediocre, just like He Tao, only at the second level, and his martial arts skills were only proficient in long-line swordsmanship. However, among his skills, he had reached the third level of arrest.

After reading it, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, old general. Although I obey orders but not decrees, I have never thought of overthrowing the court. It's just that the situation forces me to do so."

"Since the general is willing to go to Guangji Army, I will have someone make the military token, seal, badge, and imperial edict in the next two days, and then you can take up your post. As for the noble son Liang Jie, he will go to Yizhou and continue to serve as an arresting envoy. The mountain people in Yizhou pretend to be robbers and sometimes kill passers-by. This is a good opportunity for Liang Jie to show his strengths."

Liang Jie heard this and said happily: "Sir, I don't have any other skills, but I have some experience in catching thieves. Being a thief catcher is just what I want."
