One day, all the heroes in Liangshan gathered in the hall. Song Jiang declared in public: "Brothers, since Song Jiang made trouble in Jiangzhou and went up the mountain, he relied on the help of all the brothers and heroes to make me the leader. Today, we are in Liangshan. A total of one hundred and eight leaders gathered together. Such a grand occasion was unprecedented. Song Jiang was very happy when he saw this."
Song Jiang said solemnly, looking at all the heroes in the hall, he continued: "Brothers, since brother Chao Gai passed away, he has led his troops down the mountain and openly protected him. This is God's protection and cannot be done by human beings. Even if someone is killed The captives were imprisoned, or returned after being slandered, and all were fine. Today, a hundred and eight people are gathering in front of them, which is rare in the past and present."
Having said this, Song Jiang stood up, clasped his hands in his fists, bowed three times, and then looked at the heroes and said: "Brothers, in the past, weapons were everywhere, killing lives without mercy. Therefore, I want to build a Luotian in my heart. The Great Jiao is to repay the blessings of the gods of heaven and earth. One is to pray for the physical and mental well-being of all the brothers; the other is to hope that the imperial court will send grace early and forgive the heinous crimes against heaven. Everyone should try their best to sacrifice their lives, serve the country with all their loyalty, and die; the third is to go up I recommend Chao Tianwang to be reborn in heaven early and meet again in every life. He can transcend violent death, evil death, fire, and drowning, and all innocent people who have been harmed can achieve good deeds. I want to do this, but I don’t know the intentions of all my brothers. How?"
Song Jiang's words were to guide other heroes to believe in the divine way, so as to open their eyes to his efforts to seek peace from the imperial court.
When everyone saw it, it was hard to say anything. After Song Jiang made a show of force, Wu Yong, Hua Rong, Qin Ming, Guan Sheng and others took over and said, "It's all up to my brother."
Song Jiang said: "In that case, it's settled."
Sure enough, a few days later, Song Jiang invited a Taoist priest to perform the ritual on the altar.
The Taoist priest obeyed the order and went up to the stage to perform the ritual. While he was doing it, he heard a loud noise on the northwest Ganfang Tianmen gate, like a tearing of silk. Everyone was shocked. When they looked up, they saw a golden plate with two pointed ends and a wide middle. There was a bright light inside that shot people's eyes. Clouds were swirling around. A ball of fire rolled out from the middle, like a fence, and rolled straight down the Void Emperor. Come to the altar.
The eyes of all the heroes followed the movement of the fire ball. The fire rolled around and went into the ground due south. All the heroes were very confused. However, Song Jiang knew it well, and when the Taoist priests came down to the altar, he impatiently asked people to take shovels and hoes, dig out the soil, and look for the fire block.
Naturally, I couldn't find the fire block, but I found a stone tablet. On both sides of the front, there were inscriptions from the heavenly script, crawling all over the monument like tadpoles.
Who can recognize the words in this heavenly book? However, among the Taoist priests present, there was a man named He whom I knew.
Just when all the heroes were surprised, Taoist priest He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said to Song Jiang: "The ancestors of the Taoists left a book, which can be used to identify and verify the heavenly books. There are tadpole characters on it from ancient times, so I can't be a Taoist." If you are good at identifying it, you might as well translate it into a small way, and then you will know the right side of it."
When Song Jiang heard this, his face was naturally overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "Since the noble scholar knows this tadpole text, please translate it quickly to clear up the doubts of all the heroes like us."
Hearing this, Taoist He made a big show of himself. He looked at the stone tablets in a dignified manner, then turned around and reported to Song Jiang, "My leader, the names and titles of heroes are written on these stone tablets. If you don’t take responsibility, you should explain it one by one from the beginning.”
What's the blame? ! Just waiting for you to do some tricks! So, Song Jiang pretended to say: "Fortunately, I have been taught by an eminent scholar. I have a lot of fate. If I can be taught by you, I will truly feel that it is a great virtue. For fear of God, please don't hide your words of blame. I hope you can dissect your soul as much as you want, and don't leave any words behind."
Everything Taoist He said was discussed in advance, so naturally no words were missed. Taoist He then shook his head, muttered, and said what Song Jiang wanted: "Big boss, there are thirty-six lines in the Book of Heaven in front of it, all of which are Tiangang stars; there are also seventy-two lines of the Book of Heaven in the back, all of which are Earth evil stars. Below is the note Great name to all the righteous men."
Song Jiang heard this and said hurriedly: "Master, please come quickly."
So Taoist He looked at Shi Jie and started to sing.
Song Jiang hurriedly asked Xiao Rang to take out the paper and pen he had prepared, and copied it down as Taoist He sang.
It turns out that on the stone tablets are the zodiac rankings of all the heroes.
On the back of the stone tablet are written the thirty-six members of the Tiangang Star, namely:

At that time, after Song Jiang listened to Taoist He's explanation of the tadpole astronomy on the stone tablets, he took the list copied by Xiao Rang, raised it to the sky, raised his head and roared: "Oh God!" Then he cried with joy.
All the heroes were infected by this wonderland and became filled with pride.
Song Jiang waved the directory in his hand and said in a high-pitched voice: "Brothers! Heaven has sent a great responsibility to this people! What a situation this is?! What an honor this is! We brothers, above, we should be in harmony with the stars. Five elements, this is the sacred duty given to us by the sky and the earth to eliminate violence and be loyal to the imperial court. In such a situation and with such honor, how can we brothers live up to the trust of the sky and the earth? From now on, we brothers will wait for the imperial court single-mindedly. "Zhao'an, working hard to serve the court, is also a way out for the brothers. With the true skills of the brothers, they will make achievements one by one, glorify the ancestors, and bless the descendants."
Song Jiang spoke impassionedly on the stage, but the Liangshan brothers in the audience had different expressions, mentality and thoughts. Former imperial generals such as Wu Yong, Guan Sheng, Qin Ming, Hua Rong, and Hu Yanjun naturally did not say anything. They firmly supported the recruitment and thought of returning to the imperial court; however, Lin Chong, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Li Kui, Li Jun and others did not Disapprovingly, he lowered his mouth, feeling very unhappy.
Then how could Lin Chong voluntarily return to the court and serve in the court after being harmed by Captain Gao? Wu Song and Lu Zhishen, who were members of the Buddhist community, had long seen through the world of mortals and had no intention of pursuing personal careers. As for Li Kui, he was originally an unintentional person and had no intention of thinking about such things. Therefore, the above people were not enthusiastic about Zhao'an. It was just that in this environment, it was inconvenient to come forward to oppose Zhao'an.
Since then, with Song Jiang in charge and Wu Yong planning, Liangshan began to contact the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court could pardon their sins and recruit them into peace so that they could return to society.
However, there was no communication channel between Liangshan and the imperial court. Liangshan was surrounded by troops sent by Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others. How could he convey his wish to be ordered to peace by the imperial court?
Song Jiang and others thought hard, and finally thought of following the path of Li Shishi, a famous courtesan of the Song Dynasty, and wanted to convey Liangshan's intention to recruit people to Emperor Huizong through the close relationship between Li Shishi and Emperor Huizong.
However, it is not easy to meet Master Li.
The heroes of Song Jiang and Liangshan were stumped.
Since then, the one hundred and eight generals in Shuibo Liangshan have been gathered together, and they are all powerful and majestic.
These are the one hundred and eight demon kings who were released by Hong Xin, the Taiwei in front of Renzong's palace, as mentioned earlier. Decades later, this group of demon kings appeared one after another, killing people and selling goods, causing great harm.
At this time, in addition to sending troops to conquer the heroes of Liangshan, Emperor Huizong was quietly working to contact the Jurchens, form an alliance, and jointly conquer the Liao Dynasty to regain the homeland of the Sixteenth State of Yanyun.
In the northeast, the war between the Jurchens and the Liao Kingdom was still ongoing.
