Liangshan Rebel Army attacked Zengtou City and repelled several imperial attacks. Many of them also took part in Liangshan Juyi. Finally, Liangshan * * * recruited 108 warriors, and arranged the seating of "Thirty-six plough and Seventy-two Dungeons".

Facing the situation that Liangshan rebels became more and more brave, the court changed its strategy and sent people to win over. So, under the guidance of Song Jiang and others' compromise thought, Quanliangshan accepted this appeal and was reorganized into the Zhao and Song armies.

Rulers adopted the strategy of "impeded" and ordered Liangshan heroes to conquer Liao and Fang La. After years of war, only 27 of 108 heroes remain. However, even these survivors failed to escape the bad luck that followed.

Seeing that Liangshan heroes fought alone, the rulers killed Song Jiang and others shortly after awarding the title: Song Jiang and Lu Junyi were poisoned by medicated wine and mercury respectively, Li Kui jy was dragged to be buried with Song Jiang when he died, and Wu Yong and Hua Rongdao hanged themselves in Liaoerwa. A vigorous uprising was thus stifled.

During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were many stories adapted from Water Margin. In Yuan Zaju, the number of Liangshan heroes increased from 36 to 108.
