Life of the characters

Character origin

Chen Da is a member of Yecheng family. He is good at using white point steel gun. Because of his excellent physical strength, he is called tiaojianhu. Forced by lawsuits, he, together with Zhu Wu and Yang Chun, fell grass on Shaohua mountain in Huazhou and gathered five or seven hundred minions to rob their families. Huayin county offers a reward of 3000 Guan to arrest three people.

Meet Shi Jin

Due to the lack of money and food, Zhu Wu discussed with Chen Da and Yang Chun and planned to plunder the mountain. Chen Da thinks that Huayin county is "rich in people, rich in money and grain", and suggests attacking Huayin county. But if you fight in Huayin County, you have to go through Shijiazhuang, and Shijin, the leader of Shijiazhuang, has excellent martial arts. Yang Chun has some scruples about Shi Jin and suggests to fight in Pucheng County. Zhu Wu also agrees. Chen Da didn't listen and insisted on ordering troops down the mountain, saying that he wanted to "fight Shijiazhuang first, and then take Huayin county". As a result, he was captured alive by Shijin. Zhu Wu knew that it was difficult to compete with Shi Jin, so he came up with a bitter plan. He and Yang Chun went to Shijiazhuang together, knelt down in front of Shi Jin, said that the three brothers shared life and death, and asked Shi Jin to release the officials together. Shi Jin admired their loyalty and couldn't bear to hurt them, so he released Chen Da and made friends with them. They respected Shi Jin very much and often gave gifts, which Shi Jin also gave back. The relationship between Shaohua Shanzhai and Shijiazhuang is getting closer. Shi Jin invited Chen Da to Shijiazhuang to drink and enjoy the moon on the night of the Mid Autumn Festival. As a result, Li Ji, a hunter, discovered them and secretly reported them to the government. The magistrate of Huayin county took the opportunity to send troops to encircle Shijiazhuang and arrest the strong thieves of Shaohua mountain, Zhu Wu, Chen Da and Yang Chun. Chen Da hoped that Shi Jin and shaohuashan would get rid of each other. But Shi Jin and the three killed officials to resist arrest, and set fire to Shijiazhuang. Later, Shi Jin also fell grass in Shaohua mountain and was respected as the stronghold leader by Chen Da.
