Joining Liangshan
Song Jiang runs into some trouble in Jiangzhou later and is almost put to death. The Liangshan outlaws storm the execution ground and rescue him. They reach the riverbank where Li Jun, the Mu brothers and others are waiting with boats. They ferry the outlaws all the way back to Liangshan Marsh and the Mu brothers join Liangshan.
After the Grand Assembly, Mu Chun becomes one of the leaders of the Liangshan infantry. He follows the Liangshan heroes on their campaigns against the Liao invaders and southern rebel forces after they have been granted amnesty by the emperor. During the Fang La campaign, six heroes fall ill after the battle of Hangzhou and Mu Chun remains behind to take care of them. After the eventual defeat of Fang La, Mu Hong dies of illness and Mu Chun mourns his brother's death. The emperor grants him the official post of "Martial Gentleman of Grace" (武奕郎) in recognition of his contributions to the nation during the campaigns. Mu Chun declines the offer and returns home to lead the life of a commoner.

Famous quotes containing the word joining:
“Women will not advance except by joining together in cooperative action.... Unlike other groups, women do not need to set affiliation and strength in opposition one against the other. We can readily integrate the two, search for more and better ways to use affiliation to enhance strength—and strength to enhance affiliation.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
