After An Daoquan went down, Lin Chong called Zhang Shuye and told him his plan to let him go to Dengzhou.
"Don't worry, brother.
I will help Brother Shibao develop Dengzhou and I will never betray my brother's trust."
At this time, Zhang Shuye had already changed his mood and devoted himself to a new life.
After hearing Zhang Shuye's statement, Lin Chong felt happy and nodded a few words of encouragement.
At this time, I heard Zhang Shuye say, "Brother, I have one more thing.
The elder brother also knew that the younger brother had two sons.
The eldest son was named Zhang Bofen and the second son was named Zhang Zhongxiong.
The second son studied under a famous teacher since he was a child, and now he has returned after becoming a master.
Originally, my younger brother planned to let his second son serve the imperial court, but he didn’t expect that the imperial court would treat me like this.
Therefore, my younger brother now plans to let his second son join me in Liangshan to contribute to his brother’s great cause. meager strength" Lin Chong was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhang Shuye's words, and then slapped his forehead with his hand.
"Oh, I'm so confused.
How could I have forgotten Zhang Shuye's two sons?"
Lin Chong regretted in his heart.
Zhang Shuye's two sons are not ordinary little people.
Not only have they left their names in history, but in the Dang Kou Zhi, the two brothers joined forces and are fierce men who can fight Lu Junyi for more than a hundred rounds without deciding the outcome.
With these two generals, had it not been for Zhang Shuye's initiative, Lin Chong would have almost forgotten about it, leaving the pearl covered in dust.
"Brothers are righteous.
As the saying goes, you should not avoid relatives when promoting talents.
Now I am in Liangshan when I am employing people.
If I can get the help of these two nephews, it will be even more powerful."
Lin Chong quickly praised.
When Zhang Shuye saw that Lin Chong agreed, he was very happy and immediately called for his two sons to see Lin Chong together.
Lin Chong looked at the two young heroes and felt really happy in his heart.
Lin Chong would never have too many talents.
Early the next morning, Zhang Shuye and An Daoquan set off.
Before leaving, Zhang Shuye even offered to send his family to live in Liangshan, euphemistically saying that Liangshan was safer.
In fact, Lin Chong understood that this was a sign of loyalty to him. a way.
Time passes quickly, winter passes and spring comes, and spring comes in March.
During this winter, because some of Lin Chong's benevolent policies spread, the number of people who took the initiative to join Liangshan increased sharply.
Now in Jeju City alone, Liangshan's army numbered 350,000, and news came from several other cities that the number of the army had increased to a greater or lesser extent.
Li Jun's 30,000 navy troops in Dengzhou have also been recruited, and are now being trained day and night under the leadership of several navy leaders.
What made Lin Chong even more happy was that this winter not only the number of ordinary soldiers increased a lot, but also the number of leaders increased.
Regardless of everything else, there were two of them that Lin Chong cared about the most.
One of them, named Luan Tingfang, was Luan Tingyu's younger brother.
He came to join Luan Tingyu because he was recruited by his letter.
This Luan Tingfang is also a character in Dang Kou Zhi.
He is good at using two swords, so he is known as Dual Sword Luan Tingfang.
His martial arts skills are roughly equivalent to those of Xuan Zan, Hao Siwen and others, and he is a qualified general.
The other person was a scribe, whose surname was Wenshuang Huanzhang, a native of Tokyo.
Wen Huanzhang had heard of Lin Chong's name as early as when he came from Tokyo.
Later, Lin Chong left and walked to Liangshan.
Wen Huanzhang secretly felt pity after hearing about it.
As for the reason that prompted Wen Huanzhang to decide to join Liangshan, it was Lin Chong's order to distribute clothes and food to the poor people in winter.
When this incident spread through the people's mouths, Lin Chong's reputation for benevolence and righteousness became even more popular in the world, and the Liangshan army slowly changed from a rebel to a rebel army in the hearts of the people.

Because of this, Wen Huanzhang, who lamented that heroes were useless, made up his mind to defect to Lin Chong and join Liangshan.
In fact, this Wen Huanzhang is not an unknown person.
Anyone who is familiar with Water Margin knows this person.
When Gao Qiu attacked Liangshan, he recruited Wen Huanzhang as a staff officer with the army.
When Gao Qiu was defeated and captured alive by Liangshan, he kept Wen Huanzhang as a hostage in Liangshan.
Lin Chong was worried about the lack of civil servants around him.
He didn't expect that Wen Huanzhang would come, and he was not happy about it.
On this day, Lin Chong called Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Zhu Wu, Wen Huanzhang, Chen Zongshan, Wang Yin, Shi Wengong, Lu Junyi, Yun Tianbiao and Lu Zhishen to the study.
"Now that winter has turned to spring and the ice and snow have melted, it is time for fighting.
After a winter of rest and recuperation, our Liangshan army has already gained high morale and is fighting bravely to take the lead.
So I called some brothers here today just to discuss what to do next.
I wonder if these brothers have any clues in their minds."
Lin Chong asked with a smile on his face.
After hearing this, Wu Yong smiled and said, "To be honest with you, my brothers and I have been discussing this matter.
Based on what my brothers said about occupying the north years ago, we feel that now is the right time.
Nowadays, the imperial court has internal and external troubles.
Except for not sending troops to us, the imperial court had wars in three other places a year ago, but all three places were defeated.
Tong Guan, who attacked Wang Qing, was not only wiped out, but also almost lost his life.
He was unable to force the court to urgently mobilize the officers and soldiers who were confronting Tian Hu for reinforcements, and this was how they stabilized the situation.
As for Zongze, who wanted to replace Fang La, although he did not fail, because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, he could only block Fang La's advancement, and he could not counterattack if he wanted to.
It is said that Huizong was furious and wanted to mobilize the Western Army to quell the rebellion.
However, when Xixia saw the civil strife in Song Dynasty, they wanted to take advantage of it, so the Western Army did not dare to move for the time being.
Now the imperial court is empty of troops, and all the armies are contained.
If we can take this opportunity to send out all the armies together, we may be able to directly sweep across the north, unify the northern border, and realize my brother's idea of becoming the king of the north. " Lin Chong nodded after hearing this.
He fully understood these situations.
Wu Yong was right.
The current imperial court was in a precarious period.
Years of battles, especially the several battles with Liangshan, could be said to have defeated the imperial army.
A lot has been lost, which directly led to the current shortage of military forces in the imperial court.
"Is there any specific way?"
Lin Chong asked directly.
"Yes, the places where we border the imperial power now include Jeju, Dezhou, Mengzhou, Cangzhou and Gaotangzhou.
Among them, Cangzhou and Gaotang Prefecture have the responsibility to guard against the Liao Kingdom, so they cannot be moved lightly.
The remaining three places, Jeju, Dezhou, and Mengzhou, can directly send troops to attack neighboring states and counties. " After Wu Yong finished speaking, he stood up and came to the map hanging on the screen.
"Brother, please see, geographically speaking, Jeju can directly attack Daming Prefecture and Qizhou, while Dezhou can attack Xiangzhou, and Mengzhou can directly send troops to attack Hejian Prefecture and Zhending.
And once we can capture these major places at the same time, plus the current Cangzhou and Gaotang Prefectures, we can basically take the entire north as our own.
It's just that by then our forces will be bordered by the imperial court, Tian Hu, and the Liao Kingdom.
The worst-case scenario is that we are very likely to face attacks from these three forces at the same time. " Wu Yong pointed on the map with his hand and explained the results of everyone's analysis.
After listening to Wu Yong's words, Lin Chong stood up and walked to the map to look at it carefully
