Aftermath of Water Margin

Chapter 26 Xiao Encounter in the Ancient Palace
But it is said that Yan Qing pretended to be an official of Jinying, put a wooden clip on his face, and rescued Guan Sheng.Meeting Hua in the store, Dai Zongdao: "General Guan, if there is no brother Yi who steals the sky, you will not escape the tiger's mouth!" How did you get me out?" Yan Qing first told how Tuo Mougang went to the Daojun Emperor and met Lu Er'an who asked for money to redeem him: "That day when I went to the city with Yang Lin, I saw that my brother was tied up in the execution ground, and there was nothing I could do. .Fajian Dongsi, where are you following, you can’t come in to visit. When I was drinking in a restaurant, I happened to meet an officer who was drunk and dropped the wooden clip, so I picked it up and pretended to carry it. It was luck that it didn’t break.” Guan Sheng thanked Said: "What a brother in need! The virtue of rebirth is never forgotten. Just now, when I saw Brother Yi pretending to be pretending, he didn't have any friendship at all. The boss in his heart is otherwise, who knows how to hide the secret. Brother Yi, you are really loyal and loyal. It is rare in ancient and modern times! Just where is this body settled?" Yang Lin said: "It's okay. Li Ying waits to gather in Yinmachuan, and we can go together tomorrow morning. I just never asked, is there any treasure family in the city?" Guan Sheng said: " I have no children, but only one Zhuojing. Knowing that I am in prison, Zhuojing sent a letter, wanting to kill himself. I am lucky to escape, and now I am afraid that he will not come." Yan Qing said: "That's not the case, respect sister-in-law Zhenlie For the sake of the eldest brother, there is no reason to ignore it! They all wrote letters, and I will enter the city tomorrow, and I will welcome you." Guan Sheng said: "This is excellent. But women are not allowed to leave the city at the city gate. The family members refused. If the failure is exposed, it is not necessary." Yanqing pointed to the wooden clip and said, "Let him here now, what are you afraid of?" Did it?" Yan Qing said: "The wooden clip is real, but the people are pretending. How many people from Tokyo have voted in the Jinying, so what's the matter. It's just that Marshal Talan reused the general, that is, he ordered the army to march south and sent his family off. Wanju. Let Liu Yu go and investigate! That wooden clip is so precious, can it be thrown away after being used once? You'll be fine." Guan Sheng obeyed.

Yanqing got up tomorrow, and went to the Tongshi Mansion with Dai Zong and Yang Lin to talk again, and took the book again for inspection. The Tongshi officer said to Liu Yu: "Guan Sheng came to Jinying, and he dared not disobey him. He was very happy. Granted. General Zhengnan led [-] troops to guard Zhangde Mansion. The official sent yesterday to inspect the wooden clip and come to pick up the family boy to go to the post together and ask the city gate to register and send it out." Liu Yu said: "I will measure how big this guy is. Courage! Natural obedience. If it weren't for this kind of prestige, he would still be stubborn." He registered and sent him out of the city.The clerk gave the registration card, and Yan Qing continued.Ask about Guan Sheng's home.

But Guan Gong heard that Jinying had brought someone to go, and he couldn't find out if he called his servants. He didn't know his life or death. Guan Gong had no choice but to come out.Yan Qing didn't open his mouth, Yang Lin said: "This master is from Marshal Talan. General Guan has surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and was given the post of General Conquering the South. He guards Zhangde Mansion and leads the troops outside the city. Please clean up the house. I will go to the post together with the capital, so I invite you here." Although Mr. Gong was in Liangshanbo, he was isolated from inside and outside, so he never recognized him.Thinking in his heart; "It may not be willing to surrender to the Jin Dynasty, according to this, I have to believe it.".That is to say, after finishing the family property inside, there are four servants, two adoptive mothers, and the horses are pulled out from the back trough.Gong Ren got on the horse, and the servants carried the package on their backs, and they went to the city gate together.Yang Lin checked the registration plate with the gatekeeper Ding, Yan Qing called again, but without knowing what to say, he let it out quickly.When they arrived at the store, Guan Sheng was overjoyed, and Yan Qing said: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life! Now I can't stop for a long time. Tonight, I will go to the cottage first with Dean Dai. I'm afraid that my eldest brother has such an appearance, and he has been an official in the local area for a long time. Everyone knows it. If there is a mistake, it will be hard to be caught off guard. I will start when I hire a car tomorrow." Guan Sheng and Gongren said: "It's a trick used by brothers in the past. I will go first tonight, you Come with the Lu'an people." Guan Sheng and Dai Zong bid farewell and left.Yanqing hired a few cars tomorrow morning, and Guan Gong, Er'an, Miss and adoptive mother all took the car and put their luggage in it.The horse and Yang Lin rode alternately, thanked the shop owner, and the group set off on the road.

After walking for a day, when they arrived at Yehupu, Wang Jin's camp was gone, and the dead bodies were all over the ground.Yan Qing thought: "It's Wang Jin's stronghold that has been broken." It was getting late, and there were no residents, so he had to go another ten or twenty miles.There was a thunderstorm, and the road was dark and slippery, making it difficult to move an inch.I saw a little light in the pine forest, but I barely reached it, but it was a temple.To the Buddha Hall, empty.Please get out of the car and lead the horse behind the hall.When Yang Lin walked into the meditation hall, there was a solitary lamp hanging on the wall, so it emitted light.After picking it up and leaving, someone hummed on the Zen bed: "The old monk is sick and sleeps here. Who brought up the lantern festival?" , and eat dry food.When Lu Cheng boiled the water, he took out the cooking cake and meat, and everyone shared some.Yan Qing said: "This Buddhist temple is not stable and convenient." Calling the adoptive mother to put things in order, the people rest in peace when they are in the east hall.Yan Qing and Yang Lin were gossiping in the hall.

After the rain, the sky cleared, and a bright moon was launched, which was exceptionally bright.After watching and playing for a long time, I became sleepy and thought about going to sleep for a while.Suddenly I heard footsteps outside, fearing that there might be some bad guy, I fled to the corridor and took equipment to guard against.Looking inside the window lattice, I saw two officers, a dozen or so big men, all armed with knives, bows and arrows, stopped at the Buddha Hall, and sighed to the moonlight: "What face do you have to see the old businessman! Yan Qingyuan said four Chong I regret that I did not listen to him, and I was defeated by bandits. I have lost my fame all my life! Fortunately, I have no family and are tired, so it is better to repay the court by killing myself." If you take your life, how can you die here in ignorance! I'm tired, and I'm going to rest for one night, and I'll be back tomorrow." Yan Qing and Yang Lin went out and shouted: "Old general, don't be short-sighted! Yan Qing is here." Wang Jin was very surprised and said: "How can we meet again? I really have a foresight. I was about to move the camp, but the little thief Liu Yan went to Gaojibo to recruit Zhang Xin and Bi Feng. When the thief came back, there were 5000 people and horses, and they were tightly surrounded. General Ling and I fought desperately, and all the pacesetters were wiped out, with nowhere to go." Yan Qing: "King Kang has ascended the throne in Nanjing, calling for heroes from all over the world. Zong Ze stayed in Tokyo to restore the two rivers. I have old brothers who gather to drink horses Chuan, why don’t you stay there for a few days, return the whole brigade to the south, and go to the sect to stay behind and help Zhongxing, why not?” Then he said to Ling Zhen: “After saving Guan Sheng, first go to the cottage with Dai Zong.” Ling Zhendao: "What you did was unexpected, it's actually respectable!" Yang Lin took the rest of the cooking cake meat and ordered it, and went straight to the fifth watch.Called up the servants and coachmen, sat down with the family members, let the horse and Wang Jin ride, and took the road to go.

After walking for half a day, there were no village shops, and everyone was hungry.At the place where the dust starts to rise behind, a group of soldiers and horses arrive.But it was Liu Ni's rangers, with more than 300 horses, all of whom came with light bows and short arrows.Yan Qing hurriedly called to push the car into the woods to escape.The one who came first saw him and shouted: "The governor's man, hurry up and offer the women in the car to accompany us to drink!" Wang Jin and others were furious, and each drew his waist knife to resist.Immediately the leader smiled and said, "You fourteen or five people, how have you ever done it!" Yan Qing had already released a crossbow arrow, hit the front door, turned over and fell off the horse.Yang Lin chopped another horse's crotch, and fell down too, and was cut in two by Wang Jin.The three hundred soldiers and horses wrapped up together.At the time of danger, a group of people and horses rushed forward, and a general brandished double whips to kill people. He killed the wandering soldiers and fled in all directions.When Yan Qing looked at it, it was Hu Yanzhuo, Fan Rui and Dai Zong.Yanqing was overjoyed and got off his horse to meet each other. Dai Zongdao: "Brother Li was afraid that the road would be difficult, so he asked me to lead three hundred soldiers to meet him. We just met here. Fortunately, we were not hurt." Here?" Wang Jin said: "General Hu, you and Wang Bao are guarding Yangliu village. How can you let the golden soldiers cross the river? Every battalion was defeated. I led the remnant soldiers to tie up in Yehupu, and they were broken by Liu Ni. We met in the ancient temple last night. Brother Yan, come here with us." Hu Yanzhuo said: "I was trapped by Wang Bao, and I almost lost my life. There are many brothers in Yinmachuan, so I have to stay temporarily." Feelings.Call the camp and hit the middle guy.The ranger died more than 30 people, took a dozen horses, and sat together in the cottage.Li Ying waited to come out to meet him, gathered in the Yi Hall to see the ceremony together, sent Wang Jin to sit up, and the rest sat down one by one, expressing their admiration.Yan Qing sent the coachman back.When Guan Gongren, Er'an and Miss came to Houzhai, it was easy for Li Ying's wife to accompany them. Li Ying made a celebration banquet. Guan Sheng was very grateful to Yanqing.Hu Yanzhuo said: "On weekdays, I only know that he is ingenious and wise, and he acts according to the opportunity. I don't want to have such a loyal and courageous, clever plan. I only know how to fight, how can I get it!" All the leaders praised each other and drank freely Drink for three days.But he said that the rangers had injured more than [-] people and went to report to Liu Ni, saying that they had been killed by the bandits in Yinmachuan, so it was not a problem to ask soldiers to chase them.

Let's say that the man surnamed Liu in Tokyo lost his wooden clip when he had a drink with the Jinying official that day, so he went to the restaurant to look for it.It turned out that the wooden clip had to be handed in after inspection, but it was lost on the same day. The official gave him a hundred lashes, and both contractors sent them to the army.The hotel also spent a lot of money.The King of Qi's office checked the number, and two more wooden clips came out, and it was known that Guan Sheng had left.He was also seen drinking in Machuan.Liu Yu was furious, and was about to send troops to conscript and suppress, and reported that the rangers had been injured, so he immediately sent Liu Ni to Tarlan to invite troops, saying that the strong people in Yinmachuan had to be tyrannical and had to be eliminated.Tarlan said: "I heard that it is the remnant party in Liangshan Po. There are many wise and brave people in it. I will recruit him." He sent Yong to send a thousand flags of bald Luxuzao carvings to appease them first and then suppress them. Liu Yan took orders.Bi Dao said: "The young general was broken by him in Longjiaogang the day before yesterday, and his elder brother Tanhua was killed by him again. He burned down Wanqing Temple. This hatred is nailed to the marrow. I would like to take Zhang Xin as the vanguard and lead five thousand soldiers from the headquarters to wipe out the cottage. " Liu Yan said: "You two start first, and Tulu and I will follow. I just want to go for the camera, and Marshal Talan will recruit him." Stepping down the cottage, venting hatred and revenge.

Let's say that the leaders were drinking in the stronghold, and the little guy came up to the mountain and said, "Huafeng and Tanhua took revenge, and Gaojibo and Zhang Xin led 5000 troops. Afterwards, Liu Yi led the tuluzao flag to help the battle. The leader can quickly Get ready." Li Ying discussed with the leaders how to defend against the enemy, and Zhu Wudao said, "That Gaojipo was where Li Mi and Cheng Yaojin gathered in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. I heard that Zhang Xin is brave and has golden soldiers to help. Don't underestimate the enemy. Here I am First went to the side of the mountain and set up a stockade, and set up four teams of guerrillas to come and go. Wang Jin, Guan Sheng, and Hu Yanzhuo were the regular soldiers who refused to fight. Pass it back and forth." The distribution has been decided, and the camp has just been established when Zhang Xin and Bi Feng have arrived.

The two battles faced each other, and after the three-way drum, Zhang Xin and Bi Feng rode out together, holding weapons and shouting: "The bandits come and take your life!" Li Ying, Hu Yanzhuo, Wang Jin, and Guan Sheng all rode out.Bi Feng scolded again: "Liang Shanpo's crazy soul! Kill my own brother. Now that you have brought the soldiers here, get off your horse and be bound!" Li Ying shouted: "You ignorant bandit! How dare you talk nonsense! That bald donkey is so strong that he can't stand it. He Tianzhu! You are the defeated general in my hand, you just escaped by jumping over the wall in the middle of the night, and you are here to seek death again!" Bi Feng was furious, and he chopped down with a big knife, Li Yingting caught it with an iron gun, and fought for twenty rounds. To decide the victory or defeat, Zhang Xin couldn't bear it, he patted his horse and waited for the three-pointed two-edged knife to help out, Guan Sheng fought with the Qinglong Yanyue knife, and the four horses turned around to kill each other.Li Ying made a fool of himself, dragged him away and left, Bi Feng was reluctant to give up, and rushed over.Li Ying took a gun and secretly swung a flying knife, which hit Bi Feng's left arm and returned to his horse in pain; Li Ying came after him again.Seeing that Bi Feng was defeated, Zhang Xin wanted to return to his horse.Guan Sheng held back and couldn't get away.Seeing Ling Zhen at the top of the mountain, he set off a repeated horn cannon.Hu Yanyu, Xu Sheng, Laitong, and Fan Rui came from all directions.Zhang Xin and Bi Che couldn't rescue the head and tail. When they were in a hurry to retreat, they trampled on each other and injured more than 1000 soldiers. They retreated to the fire scene of Wanqing Temple, but Liu Yan and Tulu had arrived.When Bi Feng talked about the defeat of the army, Liu Ni said: "I have ordered you not to make mistakes. You advance bravely and lose your spirit, and you camp here. Marshal Talan has an order. The original teaching first caresses and then suppresses. To summon surrender."

But all the leaders returned to the stronghold victoriously, and discussed: "Although Bi Feng is defeated, Liu Ni will definitely arrive, so don't just go up the mountain." Just as they were talking, the inspector's report said: "Prince Qi sent officials here." Li Yingdao "Why do you come here?" Zhu Wudao: "You must come to be a lobbyist. Let's see what you want, and you can't just get angry." It turns out that this kind of general is a soldier in Jizhou. Sanlang Shixiu knocked down and kicked Zhang Bao to death.When the Jin soldiers arrived in Jizhou, they gathered together to flee for their lives, took the opportunity to rob them, surrendered to Liu Yu, and appointed them as assistant generals.At the moment Liu Ni taught him to be a lobbyist, Zhang Bao walked in with high spirits, Li Ying met him and said, "What do you want to see here?" Zhang Bao said: "By the order of Prince Qi, please general to promote the title." Li Yingdao: "We are the giants of the Song Dynasty. We took a break from drinking Machuan and did not interfere with the Qi State. Why do you say that you conferred titles?" , This Yinmachuan is also within the territory. Generals are heroes like you, and it is advisable to establish fame in time. Now you can’t go up to the sky, and you can’t go down to the ground. I’m afraid it’s not a long-term strategy.” Li Yingdao: “Please stay with your feet for a while, and discuss with your brothers before you can reply. .” Then he was sent up the mountain to be guarded.Li Ying gathered all the leaders to make a plan, and Wang Jin, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, and Zhu Dian said together: "We will help the court officials, but unfortunately we are defeated. We have to meet all the heroes here, and work together to break through the Daming Mansion first and wipe out Liu Yu. , restore Hebei. Although you are in the green grass, you will not hesitate!" Zhu Wudao: "Although the generals are loyal and motivated, but Liu Yu's momentum is strong, and there are [-] soldiers guarding his name, how can he break it? First Liu Yi, Bi Feng killed him without leaving a piece of armor, and guarded the stronghold, while Hou Zong stayed behind to guard the news, and then marched." Yan Qing said: "It is impossible to attack, but it is also very difficult to defend. Our soldiers are only three thousand, and we will fight all day long, and we will be exhausted. Tarlan led the troops, and he was definitely not sure about his support. Now that he is living with Zhang Bao, Liu Ni will definitely get angry and lead his troops here. Please, General, if you do this, you will win a complete victory. Then pack up and go back to the south, go to the sect and stay behind, and help Zhongxing together , this is the best strategy." All the leaders were happy and followed their plan.

Sure enough, Liu Yi stayed at Wanqing Temple for three days, but he didn't see Zhang Bao's report. He said anxiously, "This group of thieves and bandits are so hateful." Chuan Lai.The battlefield was completely empty, and there was no one there.The gate of the village is closed tightly, and you can call, scold and fight as you like.Not coming out.On the third day, when the sky was not yet clear, a cannon rang out, and they formed a formation, and all the heroes immediately went forward.Liu Ni went out, wearing a purple gold crown on his head, tied two pheasant tails high, wearing a golden chain mail, riding a five-flowered horse, holding a Fangtian painted halberd, and shouted: "You grass bandits are really unreasonable! The marshal ordered you to be lazy, and kindly sent the officials to call you to come down, so as not to die, how can you keep them here? I am still obsessed with myself!" Seeing that Guan Sheng was facing each other, he said angrily: "You bastard! You boast of loyalty Xin, how can you pretend to pass on the wooden folder, and escape to become a thief again!" Guan Sheng said: "You stinky boy, you dare to speak out! Your father and son have received the kindness of the court, and they don't want to repay you, but they are rebellious and respectful! I will tear you into pieces today. Duan, the canonical punishment first." Raising the green dragon knife to slash, Liu Ni will draw the halberd to meet him, but if he can't make a three-fold match, and his strength is exhausted, he reined in his horse and returned.Zhang Xin and Bi Feng came out side by side, and Li Ying and Hu Yanzhuo went there together.The battle lasted more than 30 rounds.In the end, Bi Feng's left arm was not healed, and Hu Yanzhuo hit the shoulder socket, turned over and fell off the horse.Zhang Xin withdrew Li Ying to rescue Hua Feng, Yan Qing saw it clearly from the shadow of Qimen, and shot an arrow in the chest, and also fell off the horse.The two knives of Guan Sheng and Zhu Dian slashed at the same time, but when they knocked on the edge of the knife, flames burst out.Both Zhang Xin and Bi Feng fled back to the main formation.Hu Yanyu and Xu Sheng yelled to enter.Seeing that it was not the head, Tulu took the Zaodiao flag and left first.All the heroes chased and killed them together. Liu Yan discarded his armor and helmet and left. The corpses were scattered all over the field, blood flowed into canals, and more than 2000 soldiers were lost. He retreated to Wanqing Temple to catch his breath.Liu Ni said: "I will not destroy these grassroots bandits, and I swear not to go back! Send someone to ask for rescue soldiers. If you stay here, it will be a serious problem for your heart." Order the soldiers to guard against robbery.

But it is said that the heroes will end at dusk.Li Yingming brought Zhang Bao over, and said, "You are so bold, you dare to be a lobbyist. Let me borrow your head to sacrifice the flag tonight!"After dinner, we got up together and went to Wanqing Temple. It was the third watch of the night, everything was silent, and the moonlight was dim.Although Wanqing Temple was burned, the surrounding walls did not fall down, like a city, with a hill on the left and a road on the right.Liu Yi was also afraid of robbing the stronghold, so he lined wooden fences in front and back to resist horses. Looking inside, he built a dozen fires, and the soap carving flag was sleeping in the middle with a leather tent. .It is more drumming and clear, and the bell is ringing, but it is also strict.Li Ying dispatched Hu Yanzhuo and Wang Jin to block the back door, Zhu Dian, Xu Sheng, and Hu Yanyu stood on the right, and stood in front with Guan Sheng and Fan Rui, waiting for Gongsun Sheng to do the trick.Hearing a sudden gust of wind, flying sand and rocks, and a trumpet, the pines and waves in that area are like thousands of troops galloping.Liu Ni, Zhang Xin, and Bi Feng woke up in a hurry. Although they were preparing, they could not fight for this day.That Tulu and Zaodiaoqi scurry around first, wanting to fight their way out.There are mostly strong bows and crossbows in front and back, and soldiers and horses are like forests, all of which are shot and turned.Just as he was ignoring it, the ground on the base of the temple collapsed, and a thunderbolt sounded from below, and the flames flew for half a day, beating all the people and horses to pieces.Zhang Xin pushed down the wall on the right, covering Liu Yan's wings.Hu Yanzhuo hit Zhang Xin on the head with a whip, fell off the horse, and kicked him into a pulp.Bi Feng and Tu Lu rushed to the front door, Guan Sheng slashed at him, Tu Lu dodged, Bi Feng hurriedly turned around, Li Ying shot him off the horse, Fan Rui added a slash to cover his horse's feet.All the Zaodiao flags were burned to death, and Tulu and Liu Ni were left alone.There were no more than four or fifty soldiers who were battered and battered, and ran away with their heads in their arms.This trick was used by Yan Qing: detain Zhang Bao, anger Liu Ni, and attack the cottage.If they don't fight for three days, Yang Lin, Cai Qing, Du Xing, and Ling Zhen will go to Wanqing Temple to plant landmines. When he is defeated, they will not pursue him as much as they want, and camp at the temple base again.Gongsun Sheng worshiped the wind on the top of the mountain, Ling Zhen led the medicine line, the sky thunder and the land mine were fired at the same time, surrounded by soldiers on all sides, teach him where to go!Naturally, a bunch of children died in it.There are poems to prove it:
The prime minister went to the south to conquer the Han Ding, and crossed Shanghai in May to raise the cloud.

The attack of fire is also wonderful, the prodigal son can burn the rattan armor army.

Li Ying waited for a complete victory and returned to the stronghold. Yan Qing said: "Although Liu Ni has been killed without turning back, I must go and invite the lazy soldiers to come. I am outnumbered, and I am afraid that I will lose. If you don't take advantage of this After the big victory, I will return to the south of the village, go to join the sect and stay behind, and make achievements together, and finish my brothers' lifelong concerns." All the leaders were overjoyed, and immediately called Yan Zhuo, Yang Lin, Fan Rui, Hu Yanyu, and Xu Sheng as the front team ; Li Ying, Gongsun Sheng, Zhu Wu, Chai Jin, Yan Qing, and Du Xing were in the middle army, protecting their family members; Guan Sheng, Wang Jin, Zhu Dian, Cai Qing, and Ling Zhen were the queens;There were more than 3000 soldiers, [-] horses, and [-] carts, loaded with food and salaries, set fire to the stockade, and set off today.All the way to Guanjin, seeing the purge of soldiers, I dare not stop.Walking to the ferry of the Yellow River, I saw a big camp densely packed with swords and guns.This is the junction of the Jin and Song Dynasties, and the Jin Dynasty set up troops to defend it.The river was surging, and there were no boats to cross it.Li Ying and others also set up the fence and planned to cross the river.It's exactly: Heroes cry in the vast river, and Ran Ran Zhengyun's fighting spirit is sad.I don't know how to cross the river, let's listen to the next chapter.

The two places of Dengyun Mountain and Yinmachuan are like the diversion of the rivers and Han.In this great battle, we will tie up the battle of Machuan, so that it can be merged into Dengyun, just like the Han River flows into the river, and they both return to the sea.
