him to deliver a letter to his brother. Upon knowing the guy is Zhang Shun, Song calls out his name and mentions the letter. Hearing that, Zhang Shun stops toying with Li Kui and pulls him back to land. He makes peace with Li and the four laugh over the fight. Joining Liangshan Song Jiang is arrested and sentenced to death for composing a seditious poem, which he wrote on the wall of a restaurant after getting drunk. The outlaws from Liangshan Marsh hurry to Jiangzhou, storm the execution ground and rescue him and Dai Zong, who is implicated following his attempt to rescue Song. After fleeing Jiangzhou, the group is stranded at a riverbank. Luckily, Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng and other friends of Song Jiang from the Jieyang region arrive in boats on their way to rescue him. Determined to get back at Huang Wenbing, the minor official who reported the seditious poem to the authorities, Song plans an attack on the Wuwei Garrison where Huang lives. Huang is not at home but he runs into Zhang Shun while crossing a river as he hurries back upon seeing his town is on fire. Zhang overturns the boat and captures him in water. Song Jiang kills Huang and joins Liangshan, taking with him the Zhang brothers and others. Recruiting An Daoquan When Song Jiang is attacking Daming Prefecture (大名府; present-day Daming County, Hebei) with a force to rescue Lu Junyi and Shi Xiu, he suddenly falls very ill with a tumour on his back. A fever comes on and never subsides, causing him to fall into delirium. Back in Liangshan with the force withdrawn, Song continues to be bedridden, with his condition deteriorating and all medicines to no avail. Zhang Shun, who grew up in the Yangtze region, remembers that his mother once suffered from a similar illness and was healed by a physician An Daoquan. He volunteers to find An in Jiankang Prefecture (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu) and bring him to Liangshan. Zhang Shun comes to the Yangtze and boards the boat of the pirate Zhang Wang. Midway across the river, Zhang Wang pounces on him when he is asleep, ties him up and throws him into the river. An excellent swimmer, Zhang Shun frees himself under water and gets to the opposite bank, where he finds the inn of Wang Dingliu. Wang's father provides him dry clothes and lodgings
