Chapter 198: Collecting Cards: Heroes of Water Margin

Zhu Tong shook off Wei Cheng's sweeping spear tip, and was about to counterattack when the opponent's old strength had just gone and the new strength had not yet been generated.

Who would have thought.

A slight pain in his forehead made Zhu Tong feel a little cold.

He looked again.

It was a man with a green seal staring at him in the horse team.

He was actually a powerful figure!

In this case.

Zhu Tong knew that there was no point in fighting any further.

It was obvious that this horse team was not a bandit, and it was more likely that they were people that even the county magistrate could not afford to offend.

Thinking of this, Zhu Tong waved his spear and slapped his horse and retreated more than ten steps. Wei Cheng did not pursue him, but his face did not change.

I'm afraid he felt embarrassed that he did not take down this captain.

"May I ask who you are?"

Seeing Zhu Tong bowing and asking, Wei Cheng was not polite and took out a token from his arms.

"I am the Lieutenant of the Imperial Guards!"

"Imperial Guards?"

Zhu Tong was startled, and then reacted.

He didn't know the origin of the Imperial Guards, but he knew that this Lieutenant was a sixth-rank military officer, three levels higher than the magistrate of Yuncheng County!

Not to mention that he was the head of the county, but was just a ninth-rank military officer.

What was such a big shot doing in Yuncheng?

Before Zhu Tong thought about it, he noticed the ghost-faced man who was vaguely the leader of the horse team.

Hiss!

This sixth-rank military officer in front of him seemed to be the other party's personal follower.

Zhu Tong felt a chill on his back when he thought of this.

After talking about the matter, he knew it was a misunderstanding.

Only Lei Heng was a little embarrassed, and he glared at the red-haired ghost Liu Tang fiercely.

If it weren't for this guy's random accusations, he wouldn't have offended this high-ranking official from the capital.

Liu Tang was also a little dizzy.

For him, Chao Gai, as the head of the guard, was already a remarkable figure.

"I wonder if the general has any business in Yuncheng?"

Although the old county magistrate was old, he was not blind, and he immediately asked Lin Chen respectfully.

"I just passed by Yuncheng this time, but..."

Lin Chen pretended to be interested and swept his eyes across the hall of the county government.

Especially on Zhu Tong, he stayed for a moment.

"I heard that there is a man with a beautiful beard in Yuncheng, who is quite brave. Are you willing to join the army?"

"Ah?"

When these words came out, Yuncheng was stunned.

Especially Zhu Tong, the person involved, couldn't believe that he was valued?

Lin Chen's eyes also fell on a dark-faced bailiff in the hall.

If his guess was right, this person was Brother Song.

Judging from the original book.

He was nothing more than a good family boy who wanted to make progress.

In the late Northern Song Dynasty in the background of the book, there was no channel for people like Song Jiang to make progress.

So that in the end, he ended up with a cup of poisoned wine.

In Lin Chen's opinion, Song Jiang's talent and intelligence are enough to serve as a prefect.

At present, he is short of manpower, so he can try to recruit Song Jiang for his own use.

When Lin Chen said that he had something else to do and was going to Shijie Village, the magistrate of Yuncheng County immediately arranged for someone to lead the way.

Coincidentally, the person who arranged the guide was Song Yasi.

As for Zhu Tong, his face was full of hesitation.

Unlike in the original book, the lives of the lower-class people in the Li Tang Dynasty are still acceptable.

As long as there is a way out, they will not become bandits.

Zhu Tong saw that the ghost-faced man, whose rank was unknown but must be a high-ranking official, was very interested in recruiting him, and he hesitated whether to agree.

It is better to go to the battlefield to fight for fame and fortune than to stay in Yuncheng County.

Anyway, he has nothing to worry about in Yuncheng County.

Zhu Tong, who has made up his mind, intends to seize this opportunity.

This is why Lin Chen is so concerned about the heroes of Water Margin.

With his current status, he really can't attract too many capable people to join.

On the other hand, the heroes of Water Margin are born in the grass and have abilities, so they are the best targets for recruitment.

For example...

Lin Chen, who revealed his identity to Song Jiang, just revealed his appreciation, and this brother Song bowed directly.

Lin Chen happily accepted it and let him work as a clerk in the army first.

"This time, I will lead the army north into the heartland of the Later Jin in Liaodong." Lin Chen said this in a calm tone.

Song Jiang was shocked when he heard this, but he also looked eager to try.

You know, Brother Song can even raise the flag to make progress, so is he afraid of going to the border to fight with the barbarians?

Looking at the intention of his sponsor, he intends to find more grass heroes to join the army.

I have to admit that Song Jiang himself is really capable.

Lin Chen just let out a little, and Song Jiang understood what he was thinking.

Look.

The three brothers of the Ruan family heard the news from Song Jiang, and they came to join Lin Chen without saying anything.

Moreover, the three brothers of the Ruan family all have martial arts skills, and their skills are not low, comparable to second-rate masters.

This also surprised Lin Chen a little.

Could it be that the characters in the original book all have some kind of luck?

Thinking of this, Lin Chen immediately used the Guigu magic to check it out.

Sure enough!

He found that these Water Margin heroes all had a certain luck, and after being taken under his command.

All this luck was fed back to him.

Although Lin Chen didn't know much about the magical use of this luck, he was also interested, and he had to gather all the Water Margin heroes.

Of course.

Lin Chen naturally looked down on some of the things in the original book that were not human.

And time was too tight, so he couldn't check in at the major mountains in the original book.

For example, Lu Zhishen and Lu Tijie, who are most likely in Erlongshan...

"The heroes of Water Margin can be used in the battle, and the three brothers of Yang family can also be sent out to serve as the vanguard."

But even so, Lin Chen's harvest is quite fruitful.

Liu Tang, the three brothers of Ruan family, Zhu Tong and others.

Of course.

There are also grass-roots men whose names are slightly mentioned in the original book, such as Han Boling who was chopped by Li Kui with an axe.

This man's martial arts are decent, and he is more than enough to be a general of 100 people.

After returning to Changyang, Lin Chen did not stay any longer, and went north to Liaodong along the coast as shown in the sea chart.

Originally, Wei Cheng and other lieutenants were suspicious of the grass-roots recruited by Lin Chen.

After all, in their opinion, these grass-roots have no background, are they really worthy of their own generals?

"Shi Xiu, what do you think?"

Wei Cheng patted Shi Xiu on the shoulder.

This desperate man who was rescued by Lin Chen at the beginning is now serving as Wei Cheng's deputy, and the relationship is good.

Shi Xiu heard this and shook his head silently.

In his opinion, his master must have a deep meaning for doing this.

"My master has his own intentions, so let's go and train the soldiers. This time we enter Liaodong, it's not a joke." Shi Xiu whispered.

Hearing this, Wei Cheng shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything else.

Facts have proved it.

According to the original book, the Water Margin hero who was a demon star descended to the earth has great potential.

Even Liu Tang, an illiterate man, adapted to military life in a short time.

"What a big fish!"

Suddenly, Lin Chen, who was looking through the sea chart, heard a commotion on the boat.

"Is it the legendary Kun?!"

Hearing the sound, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

This world is unusual, even the ocean.

There are many strange things living in this sea.

If you are not careful, it may cause the ship to be destroyed and people to die.

The huge whale-like monsters in the previous life are common in this world.
