Not to mention that Tong Guan and the entire Western Army didn't believe it, Fang La and his closest confidants also didn't believe it...
Especially Tong Guan, one can imagine how depressed he felt when he learned that Liangshan General Lu Zhishen was the legendary fierce man and was from the Western Army.
However, this guy's reaction was absolutely quick. He immediately found the generals of the Western Army who had friendship with Lu Zhishen and sent them there to establish friendship with Lu Zhishen. It would be best to win over this fierce Liangshan man to the side of the army.
The top brass of the Western Army also found out about the news, and they also had the idea of wooing Lu Zhishen and letting him return to the rank of the Western Army.
As for the unlucky guy Zhen Guanxi who was beaten to death, and Lu Zhishen's previous misdeeds of surrendering to the bandits, they are nothing at all.
As long as he can make great contributions in the war against Fang La, his previous bad deeds can be completely wiped out, and he can even be awarded an official title.
Of course, it would be better if we could get the root of Lu Zhishen's strength.
…
"Bastards, they're all a bunch of bastards!"
When the Liangshan army commanded the camp, Song Jiang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed loudly.
"Brother Gongming is angry, Master Lu is not that kind of person!"
Wu Yong tried to comfort him, but the effect was so mediocre that even he himself felt he had no confidence.
"The poaching has reached the Liangshan army camp. Even if Master Lu remains unmoved, he still cannot withstand the imperial court's order!"
Song Jiang's face was ashen and he was in an unprecedented bad mood.
In fact, had it not been for the intrusion of Chai officials, several leaders with special abilities in Liangshan would have been recruited by the imperial court, causing a lot of trouble to Liangshan.
For example, the miracle doctor An Daoquan was transferred to Taiyuan Hospital early. As a result, during the Liangshan army's campaign to conquer Fang La, especially in Hangzhou, they encountered plague and many leaders died.
The core leaders, including Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and Xu Ning, also died of the epidemic. If An Daoquan was still in the army, how could there be such casualties?
As for the purple-haired Bohuang Fu Duan, the scholar Xiao Rang, and the jade-armed craftsman Jin Dajian, they did not have much direct effect on the Liangshan army.
But their whereabouts must have shaken the minds of some Liangshan leaders. At least the officers and generals who surrendered must have other thoughts.
Otherwise, after the victory of the conquest of Fang La, there are still more than thirty leaders in Liangshan, including the double whip Hu Yanzhuo, the big sword Guan Sheng, etc., and they will not completely fall apart. The dignified leader of Liangshan is accompanied by three or two kittens.
.
Aside from gossip, Song Jiang never expected that Tong Guan would be so shameless, knowing that Master Lu was the source of victory for the Liangshan army, he would directly send someone to poach him.
The key is that it's not easy to stop him...
Whether Lu Zhishen is willing or not is one thing, but whether he can stop him or not is another matter. He might end up completely hating Master Lu.
This was not the result Song Jiang wanted, and the Liangshan army could not withstand such a heavy blow.
"No, we can't hang ourselves on a tree. We must train other leaders as soon as possible to increase their strength quickly!"
Song Jiang quickly resumed cooling and said in a deep voice: "If Master Lu can't withstand it and is poached, we won't be caught off guard!"
"Then we need help from Mr. Chai!"
Wu Yongdao: "The key is that a leader must be recognized by Chai Daguan, and then he can hope to be favored and promoted by Chai Daguan!"
"What do you think, Mr. Jialiang?"
"Based on my understanding of high-ranking officials, there are not many leaders who can penetrate his Dharma eyes. Pei Xuan, a tough-faced figure in the rear camp, and several other leaders are not pure combatants. I am afraid that the speed of practicing star observation
Not too soon!”
"Ahem, few of the leaders in the front camp can get the attention of senior officials. The main reason is that the behavior of most leaders does not meet the requirements of senior officials!"
"Only Shi Dalang and the two brothers from the Jie family are more reliable!"
Song Jiang nodded silently...
Even though Chai Daguan had taken in a lot of heroes at the beginning, if you analyze them carefully, you can see that these heroes did not have any disgusting evil deeds, and they only had some minor problems at most.
As for the unscrupulous gangsters, they will basically receive gifts of silver from high-ranking officials and then be politely sent away.
In those days, the reason why Chaijiazhuang became a holy land of martial arts was not only that the officials in Chai were very hospitable and gave great honor to the heroes of the martial arts, but also because of the various schools in Zhuangzi.
The school in Chaijiazhuang does not teach the Four Books and Five Classics, but instead teaches various craftsmanship skills and even some basic martial arts knowledge.
Anyone who is a guest at Zhuangzi can attend free classes and learn these skills that would cost a lot of money outside.
Blacksmithing, carpentry, various weaving skills, and even medical skills for bruises and injuries are taught.
This is definitely a rare good thing for those heroes who do not have many bad deeds and whose general living conditions are not very good.
They are unwilling to do things that are harmful to nature and do not have much means of making a living. How can they not regard Chai Daguan as a Bodhisattva when they can learn a cooking skill for free?
As for basic martial arts knowledge, it is also a very important resource for many heroes.
Many heroes have mediocre martial arts, not because they have no talent, but because they have not received correct teachings. The most obvious example is Jiuwenlong Shijin.
Not to mention these, we can also analyze some of the thoughts and tendencies of Chai Daguan people from the many measures taken by Chaijiazhuang at the time.
Looking back at the heroes of Liangshan, there are indeed few who can agree with him.
…
"Since the three of you are back, you should practice well with Coach Xu!"
Looking at the nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin, the two-headed snake Jie Zhen and the two-tailed scorpion Jie Bao standing in a row, Chai Daguan couldn't help but chuckle and gave instructions.
Not to mention Shi Jin and Shi Dalang, they were relatively clean before they defected to Liangshan.
As for the identity of the leader of Shaohua Mountain, he was promoted by Shenji Military Advisor Zhu Wu and others. He was really just a vanguard charging into the battle.
The brothers Xie Zhen and Jie Bao also had a very clean background. Before they were framed by the local gentry, they were the number one hunters in Dengzhou.
As for the internal problems of the Dengzhou family, Xie Zhen Jie Bao took the initiative to move closer to Song Jiang, which is actually quite understandable.
The leader of the Dengzhou clan should be Wei Chi and Sun Li, and the spiritual core is the mother-in-law, Mrs. Gu. Xie Zhen and Jie Bao were forced by Song Jiang to suppress Sun Li's deliberate attempt to create internal conflicts. The two brothers did not follow closely.
What else could Song Jiang do?
No matter what, after joining Liangshan, the Jie family brothers did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. This is what Chai Daguan people value most.
"You will definitely not disappoint the officials!"
Shi Jin and the Hejia brothers hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted, expressing their opinions loudly with excitement on their faces.
After the three people left, Chai Daguan called for Xu Ning, the golden spear general.
"What's the matter with Mr. Xun, a high official?"
Xu Ning has a gentle demeanor and a low-key personality. At this time, he has an inexplicable power. It is because Chai Daguan successfully pointed the star, and now he has reached the point where he can be quenched by starlight.
Not long after, his height has grown by half a hand, and the roar of energy and blood in his body can be heard. It is obvious that he has not fully adapted to the new state.
"The big leader has sent Shi Dalang and the Jie family brothers back to accept Xinxing's training. Before that, you can help them polish their foundation!"
Chai Daguan said directly: "According to your own personal experience, help them improve their abilities in all aspects, so as not to slow down the progress of their cultivation due to other factors after they point the stars!"
"You will definitely not disappoint the officials!"
Golden Spear General Xu Ning is now considered the resident leader of the village, and he is a being who was forcibly detained by Chai Daguan.
For this reason, Song Jiang also sent several private messages with quite dissatisfied wording, expressing his serious dissatisfaction.
Official Chai was not polite and just asked a question: Can Xu Ning, the golden spear general, be trusted by today's officials?
Then, there is no more...
Obviously, Song Jiang understood his thoughts and agreed with them.
As for Xu Ning himself, he had a low-key personality and was not greedy for merit. Chai Daguan only revealed his thoughts a little, and he agreed to stay in the village with a cold sweat on his face.
Just kidding, Xu Ning, who was the "Guard of the Imperial Guard", defected to Liangshan. Can the current officials get around him?
No matter how great the contribution of the Liangshan army was, Xu Ning would inevitably die.
In the original work, he died quite strangely, being bitten by a poisonous insect and dying of illness.
Just kidding, Xu Ning is in the Chinese army and basically follows Song Jiang's military operations. How could he be bitten by a poisonous insect?
These things did not happen in this life, so we will not mention them. After Xu Ning agreed to stay in the village, and with his consent, Chai Daguan helped him start the practice of star visualization.
Xu Ning can be regarded as a first-class military commander by any means. Even if his strength is not as good as Lu Zhishen, it is not far behind.
Therefore, Xu Ning's process of visualizing the natal star Tianyouxing was very smooth.
Of course, it is still a little behind Lu Zhishen. The speed at which the natal stars are visualized in the sea of consciousness, as well as the speed at which the stars are pointed, are both a little behind Lu Zhishen.
By the time the star was launched, almost four months had passed...
At this time, Xu Ning was still in the stage of rapid increase in starlight tempered body strength, and would reveal a terrifying aura from time to time.
After helping Lu Zhishen and Xu Ning practice the method of natal star visualization, Chai Daguan also discovered something.
It seems that the stronger one is, whether it is the strength of the soul or the strength of the body, the smoother the process of visualizing the natal star, pointing the star at the same time, and guiding the star later.
In view of this, he did not rashly promote the method of contemplating the natal star in his village. Instead, he first asked his trustworthy brothers to strengthen their bodies and strengthen their strength, so as not to have to visualize the natal star, point the stars, and induce the light of the stars later, because
His own strength was insufficient and he was pulled down too much.
They all have the idea of cultivating natal star observation. He doesn't want the strength gap between his leaders to be too big, which is not conducive to unity.
This was also the main reason why Song Jiang hoped that Jiuwenlong Shijin and the Xiejia brothers could practice natal star contemplation as soon as possible. Chai Daguan did not help them enter the contemplation state immediately.
