Water Margin Survival

It is almost the beginning of autumn, and the coolness drives away the heat of the lingering summer.On the edge of the bustling city of Qingzhou, people coming in and out of the city came in an endless stream.

At this time, a general was anxiously walking back and forth at the gate of the city, and from time to time he put up an awning with his hands and looked into the distance. There were five or seven soldiers standing beside him, all of whom were standing beside the general in full uniform.

The common people who entered and left the city looked at this majestic and mighty general curiously, and couldn't help applauding secretly in their hearts.But what does this person look like?There are poems to praise: the appearance is as dignified as a tiger and leopard, and the body grows like a dragon.He has used the Sangmen Blade all his life, and he has made great contributions to the power of the three mountains.

Let's say that the general panicked for no reason after he sent his master Qin Ming away, and he waited for several hours without seeing any reports from the scouts. Come, take a few relatives and stand outside the city gate, waiting for news.At this time, the rich and powerful families who came in and out of the city gate, the officials of the government government, when they saw this person, all rushed forward to salute him, either asking him: "What is the important matter of the Huang Dujian, but you are looking around here anxiously?" He: "Then Chief Qin is an invincible hero and a mighty tiger. Don't worry if you are in prison, there will be good news from time to time!"

It turned out that the general standing at the gate of the city was Huang Xin, the Qingzhou military commander, nicknamed Zhen Sanshan.This person looks to be in his thirties, he has very good martial arts skills, he is used to wielding a Sangmen sword, and he has made many contributions in the battle.He is also the beloved apprentice of Qin Ming, the commander of soldiers and horses here. He became the governor of Shangzhou at a young age, and he can be said to be young and promising, with a prosperous official career.

It is said that although the Dujian is a military post at this time, and the current court has a trend of emphasizing civil affairs over military affairs, which has caused the military generals of the Song Dynasty to be stared at by civil officials in the officialdom.But in terms of locality, especially this kind of thieves are born in the big county of Xiongzhou, they are still very dependent on the state officials. After all, not all the civil servants at this time can strategize and lead the army like their old predecessor Fan Zhongyan. .

Therefore, in the eyes of the people in this city, Lord Dujian is still an unattainable object. Even the middle and lower civil servants of some rank are quite respectful to these generals who are in charge of the military power of a state.Don't you see that the Zhang Dujian of Mengzhou, who is of the same status as the Huangdujian of Qingzhou, is so powerful, with thousands of people under his command, and Wu Song, who has never seen an official before, admires him when he sees him, Willing to be a confidant in his house.In the future, when Zhang Dujian framed Wu Song, he only handed over a letter to the magistrate of Mengzhou, and did not act ashamed of himself.Not to mention the beautiful wife and concubines in this man's family, even the adoptive mother Yulan in the house is not an ordinary vulgar fan. When Wu Song first saw Yulan that day, he was also happy in his heart, so he stepped on the ground with peace of mind, hoping to have a home from now on.

Gossip is not to be said, this is just to show that Huang Dujian's status is quite unusual.Let's say that at this time, his city gate kept receiving the respectable people in the city who came forward to say hello, and suddenly saw a defeated soldier coming back from a distance, and the Prime Minister's heart was like fifteen buckets. Water, ups and downs.Seeing these people were frightened and embarrassed, Huang Xin was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the rout, only to see the commander roll off his saddle, came to Huang Xin and cried: "Mr. He fell in front of the battle, and the little people escaped from death, so they flew back to report to the adults!"

Huang Xin was shocked when he heard the words, how could his master Qin Ming's martial arts not count in his heart?Thinking that he has been in the army for more than ten years, there are only a handful of people who can completely defeat his master. At this time, when he heard that Qin Ming had fallen before the battle, how could he not be surprised?I saw him eagerly pulling at the commander and saying: "How about the details, tell me quickly!"

The commander told the situation in detail, and Huang Xin was furious, he drew his sword and wanted to kill this person, everyone immediately pulled Huang Xin back, trying to persuade him, Just listen to Huang Xin scolding: "The lord has fallen, you wait for the dog's head to escape and come back, watch me kill you before going to rescue Director Qin!"

The commander cried: "The bandit army is powerful, the horse army alone is no less than two thousand, and there are two bandit generals who are very powerful. General Qin can barely stand up to them. The villain is not afraid of death, I just want to If you die in front of the battle, why don't you come back and ask for reinforcements, and then you and the general will seek revenge on that thief!"

Huang Xinjian scolded: "Smart words, even if you speak out, the crime of running away before the battle is unforgivable!"

Seeing this, the commander knelt down and said: "My lord, don't be angry, I am willing to go with my lord to rescue General Qin. If there is any further negligence, I will die with no regrets!"

The people around him all tried to persuade them, Huang Xin gave up after hearing the words, and only dragged him to the government office. Murong Zhizhou was waiting for news from Qin Ming at this time, when he saw Huang Xin coming up, he immediately asked, what about Huang Xin? He stepped forward and cried: "Master Zhizhou, General Qin has fallen into a bandit camp, please issue a decree, and the general will lead the troops to rescue Master!"

The Murong Zhizhou was shocked when he heard the words, he secretly thought that although I, Qin Ming, has a hot temper, but is very skilled in martial arts, why did I send him away so easily?Thinking that this person has been following him for a long time, he must be saved!Thinking of this, Murong Yanda made up his mind, and immediately appeased Huang Dao: "I will raise troops and horses to go with you, but what is the power of this thief, why did he fall into the tiger general of this state?"

Huang Xin turned his head and glanced at the commanding envoy who had fled back from the defeat. Seeing this, the man hurried forward to report: "Mr. Powerful and invincible, without any tricks, he captured Director Qin alive before the battle! I will desperately come back to deliver this news, and I hope that Mr. Qin will send people to rescue Director Qin as soon as possible!"

The Murong Zhizhou was horrified when he heard the words, and lost his voice: "Two... two thousand horse troops? Or the captured General Qin?!"

The commander nodded quickly and said: "The villain dares to guarantee his life, if there is any falsehood, he will die without complaint!"

When Murong Yanda saw that he believed it in his heart, he saw him slumped on the grand master's chair, thinking to himself in horror: these two thousand horse troops, look at my Jingdong East Road, which state government can dispatch them! ?Even Ying Tianfu on the East and West Roads of Beijing is also compared to him, but isn't it suffering?It's just that this group of strong men came out of nowhere! ? "

Seeing Murong Yanda's appearance, Huang Xin murmured "No!" in his heart, and hurried forward and said: "The final general is willing to gather 3000 troops, so I will go to rescue Master!"

Murong Yanda paused for a while, finally calmed down a bit, thought: "Although this Qin Ming is a general, if to save him, the city of our state would be empty, seeing that the bandits are powerful, it would not be fun to take advantage of the situation to break the city. Yes! Not to mention the court's investigation, is it not a loss to send my life here?" He hesitated for a while, and then Murong said, "The bandits are powerful, so it's more important to defend the city! When I report to the court, Send a large army to suppress! General Huang, stay safe and don't be impatient, so as to protect the city!"

Huang Xin felt chills when he heard the words, he had no choice but to step forward and beg: "Sir, if I don't wait to rescue, when the imperial army arrives, General Qin will be in danger! I hope that Mr. Qin will not care about the hard work of General Qin's saddle and horse." For the sake of it, I still hope that I will be kind to you!"

Murong Yanda sighed, and thought to himself: If I don't want him to go, he must have resentment in his heart, this Qin Ming was also brought to Qingzhou by me, if he doesn't save it, the morale of the army is unpredictable, all these people in front of him are his death Zhong, the thieves have to count on them when they attack!

Thinking of this, Murong Yanda said: "Huang Dujian, it's not that I don't understand you, it's just that this thief is powerful, what if he comes to attack the city? Sigh, I'm not a hard-hearted person, looking at General Qin Sit back and ignore it! Like this, you still muster [-] soldiers and horses to go to the rescue, but if you are not sure, go back to the city quickly, don't try to be brave!"

Huang Xinjian cursed in his heart: Officer dog, I will work for you on weekdays, but now I only order five hundred soldiers and horses for me, what can I do?It's just that Huang Xin scolded him, Murong was always his superior, so it was hard to turn his face for a while, and he was helpless at the moment, helpless, after thinking about it for a while, suddenly a shadow of a person appeared in his mind, telling him to peek out a glimmer of hope from the desperate situation .At this time, Huang Xin came forward and begged: "The villain will follow my lord's will, but I just ask my lord to be gracious. The Qingfeng Village Wu Zhizhai Huarong has a divine arrow in his family, and I hope that my lord will send him to help the young general. This will surely save the young general." General Qin is back!"

Murong Lue pondered for a while, and said to himself: "As long as I don't transfer my troops and horses!" Then he said kindly: "Qin Ming has also followed me for many years, how can I bear to see him fall into the hands of thieves? General Huang, don't worry, my officer Now I will write an official document with you, just go and transfer him!"

Seeing that Huang Xin said he was overjoyed, he waited for Murong to issue a document. After Murong Yanda finished writing the official document, he handed it to Huang Xin, saying: "General, be careful all the way, I am waiting for news of your victory!"

Huang Xinxin scolded, Triumphant Triumph, I have escaped death now, and I didn't see you taking it to heart, you dog official knows Triumph!Huang Xinxin cursed secretly, but his hands were not slow, he just bowed his hands to Murong Yanda, took the official documents and went, the Murong Zhizhou saw him walking away, and ordered the people around him: "Command all the troops to guard the city gate. For a few days, the city gates are only opened for two hours a day, and the four gates are closed for the rest of the time! There is also the Marquis Yu of the Zhongshu Mansion, if he finds him, you will only be sick because of the official Yun, so you can’t see each other!" All the attendants took orders and went without question.

Let's say that Huang Xin took the official document, and immediately ordered the commander to set up soldiers and horses, and waited for him thirty miles outside the city. He came to the Qingfeng stronghold alone.

After galloping on the road for a while, we arrived at Qingfeng Village.As soon as Huang Xin entered the village, he went straight to Hua Rong's mansion. The guard at the gate recognized Huang Xin as the governor of Honzhou and dared not stop him. Huang Xin galloped into the mansion, but saw a man and a woman practicing arrows there. I saw that man with white teeth, red lips, handsome eyes, two eyebrows that were always clear at the temples, and a slender waist and broad arms that looked like an ape. Huang Xin was so anxious at this moment, he couldn't help secretly praising him, "What a handsome man!" Good boy".

And the woman holding the arrow is quite charming, but I saw that she was born like this: handsome eyebrows and eyes, looking forward to flying, elegant and elegant, forgetting the vulgarity when seeing it.The cheeks are condensed with new litchi, and the nose is greasy with goose fat.Gentle and silent, amiable to watch.Huang Xin only felt that this girl's appearance was outstanding, he only compared to the ladies from rich families in Qingzhou City, this girl stood beside Huarong, she really complemented each other.And beside them stood a young and beautiful woman, smiling at her husband and sister-in-law making arrows.
