Chapter 20 Mount Wutai

Poetry:

Hanwen visited Great Britain, and Dongpo visited Yuquan.When the monk came to the White Horse Temple, it was the year of Chiwu.

The leaves and leaves are in the tree in the wind, and the lotus is in the fire.Wuchen's heart is pure, only this is the golden fairy.

It turns out that Elder Zhizhen of Mount Wutai was a living Buddha in the Song Dynasty, who knew the past and the future.A few years ago, it was known that Lu Zhishen was a man of life and destiny, but the secular fate was not exhausted, and he had to repay the debt of killing, so he was taught to live this life in the mortal world.I have my perennial root and Dao heart, and today I came up with this idea, to come to practice Zen and pay homage to my teacher.Song Gongming is also always kind-hearted and enlightened all the time, so he wants to visit Elder Zhizhen with Lu Zhishen.At that time, all the brothers wanted to go together, and Song Jiang couldn't stop it.Discuss with all the military advisers, except for Gongsun Sheng Taoism, the deputy vanguard can be appointed to be in charge of the army and horses.There was no one at the four outposts, but Jin Dajian, Huangfuduan, Xiao Rang, Le He and Lu Junyi were sent to lead the army and horses, and march forward one after another.

Song Jiang and the generals brought only 1000 troops and came to the foot of Mount Wutai with Lu Zhishen.Then they pitched people and horses in the camp, and sent people up the mountain to report first.Song Jiang and other brothers all took off their military uniforms, put on their embroidered war robes, and walked up the mountain.Turning to the outside of the mountain gate, only to hear the bells and drums beating in the temple, the monks came out to greet them, and saluted Song Jiang, Lu Zhishen and others.There are many Lu Zhishen who have recognized him within a few days, and seeing more than a hundred leaders follow Song Jiang neatly, they are all amazed and envious.The first seat came to Song Jiangdao: "When the elders sit in meditation, they can't touch each other. The general must not see the crime, and he will be forgiven!"After serving tea, the waiter came out and said, "The elder will come back after meditating. He is already waiting for the abbot. Please invite the general to come in." Song Jiang and a group of more than a hundred people came to visit the elder Zhizhen.The elder hurriedly descended to meet him, invited him to the upper hall, and saluted everyone.When Song Jiang looked at the monk, he was over sixty years old, his eyebrows were completely white, and his bones were strange, as if he had the appearance of Fang Guang coming out of the mountain.When all the people entered the abbot, Song Jiang invited the elder Zhizhen to sit up, burn incense and worship, and all the generals had already worshiped.Lu Zhishen put incense forward and worshiped.Elder Zhizhen said: "It's not easy for an apprentice to kill and set fire once he's gone for several years." Lu Zhishen remained silent.Song Jiang said forward: "I have heard for a long time that the elders are pure and virtuous, and they have no way to meet the respectable face. Now because of the imperial edict to break the Liao Dynasty, I can meet the great monk. I am very lucky in my life. Monk Zhishen and Song Jiang are brothers. At that time, even though it was murder and arson, loyalty did not harm kindness, and kindness is always there. Now I invite Song Jiang and other brothers to visit the master." Elder Zhizhen said: "There are often eminent monks here, and they have talked about the cycle of world affairs. Jiuwen general Acting on behalf of the heavens, being loyal to one's heart, knowing that loyalty is the most important thing in the generals, my disciple Zhishen followed the general, there is no mistake." Song Jiang thanked him endlessly.There are poems to prove it:
Seeking wealth is deadly and vicious, and there are many evil deeds of setting fire to and massacring cities.

Suddenly thinking about it, I bowed to Amitabha on Mount Wutai.

Lu Zhishen will send out a package of gold and silver colored sections as a dedication to my teacher.Elder Zhizhen said: "Where did my disciple get this thing? I dare not accept money without righteousness." For public use." The elder said: "It's hard for people to get rid of it, so I will put together a collection of scriptures with you to eliminate evil and achieve good results early." Lu Zhishen thanked him, and Song Jiang also took the gold and silver color section to present to Elder Zhizhen.The elders insisted on not accepting it.Song Jiang said: "If my teacher doesn't accept me, I can ask Kusi to hold a fast and offer it to the monks in this temple." On that day, he stayed in Wutai Mountain Temple for a night.It's no problem for the elders to set up vegetarian meals to treat each other.

Let's say that the next day Kusi's fasting is complete, and the bells and drums are ringing in the Zhongfa Hall of Wutai Temple.Elder Zhizhen gathered all the monks in the Dharma hall to teach the Dharma and practice Zen.After a while, all the monks of the He Temple put on cassocks and sat down in the Dharma hall.Song Jiang, Lu Zhishen and other leaders stood on both sides.At the sound of the chime, two bowls of red gauze lanterns lead the elders up to the Dharma seat.Elder Zhizhen came to the seat of the Dharma, first held a letter of incense and praised him: "This stick of incense, I pray that the emperor will live forever, the queen will be shoulder-to-shoulder, the prince will be forever, the golden branches will be lush, the jade leaves will be brilliant, civil and military bureaucrats will be together. Increase the position of salary, there will be no peace, and the people will be happy." Another stick of incense: "May the master of the vegetarian today be happy in body and mind, and his life will be extended, and his name will last for thousands of years." Another stick of incense: " May the country be peaceful and the people prosperous, with a peaceful year, a bumper crop, prosperity in the three religions, peace in the four directions, auspiciousness in all things, and good luck in everything.” After the congratulations, I sat down on the throne.After two strikes, all the monks stopped to ask questions, and then they all stood up.Song Jiang went forward to burn incense and worship, put his palms together and approached Zen meditation: "Someone has a word, dare to ask my master." Elder Zhizhen said: "What French do you want to ask the old monk?" Song Jiang said forward: "Please ask my master, the world Time is limited, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, the human body is very small, and life and death are the greatest. I am here to ask the Chan Master.” Elder Zhizhen replied in verse:
The six roots have been bound for many years, and the four elements have been entangled for a long time.In the light of the sighing stone fire, he turned a few somersaults.Huh!All living beings in the world of Jambudvipa roar frequently in the mud and sand piles.

The elder has finished speaking the gatha, and Song Jiang pays his respects.All the generals went forward to burn incense and worship, and made an oath: "I only hope that brothers will live and die together, and meet each other forever." After burning incense, all the monks retreated.Please go to Yuntang for fasting.

After everyone fasted, Song Jiang and Lu Zhishen followed the elders to the abbot.During the gossip at the end of the night, Song Jiang asked the elder, "My disciple and Lu Zhishen originally wanted to study as a teacher for a few days to instruct fools, but to lead an army, we dare not fall in love for a long time. I really don't understand the quotations of my teacher. Today, I bid farewell and returned to Beijing. Waiting for the future of all the brothers, I hope my teacher will enlighten me clearly." Elder Zhizhen ordered to take a pen and paper, and wrote four lines of gatha:

When the wind and geese are flying, Dongque is not reunited.One eye is full of merit, and Shuanglin has a good life.

After finishing writing, he handed it to Song Jiang and said: "This is a matter of the general's life. It can be kept secret, and it will be answered after a long time." Song Jiang read it and didn't know what it meant.He also said to the elder: "My disciple is stupid and doesn't understand French. I beg my teacher to understand and explain it, so as to explain the bad luck of a certain heart." Elder Zhizhen said: "This is a hidden word of Zen. You should read it yourself. You should not explain it explicitly, for fear of revealing it. Heaven's secret." After the elder said, he called Guo Zhishen to come forward and said, "My disciple, this departure will never leave your future, and the righteous fruit will come. I will go with you with four lines of verses, and I will receive them for life." The verse said:
Capture it in summer, and hold it in case of wax.Listen to the tide and be round, see the letter and be silent.

Lu Zhi deeply worshiped the verse, read it several times, hid it by his side, and thanked his master.Elder Zhizhen said: "My disciple remember his words, don't forget his true colors." After speaking, he rested for another night.The next day, Song Jiang, Lu Zhishen, Wu Yong and other leaders bid farewell to the elders and went down the mountain, and they all came out of the temple.Elder Zhizhen and all the monks sent out of the mountain gate to say goodbye.

Not to mention the elders and monks returning to the temple.Let's say that Song Jiang and other generals went down to the foot of Wutai Mountain, aroused the army and horses, and Xinghuo came.All the generals returned to the front of the army. Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng and other generals followed Song Jiang and met each other.Song Jiang told Lu Junyi and others that people in Mount Wutai took part in Zen and made an oath, and read the Zen words with Lu Junyi and Gongsun Sheng, but they didn't know what it meant.Xiao Rang said: "Zen machine French, how can I save time?" Everyone sighed.

Song Jiang sent an order to urge the army and horses to set off.The generals were ordered to mobilize the three armies and horses, hoping to advance to Tokyo.After traveling on the road for several days, the five armies advanced to a place called Shuanglindu.While Song Jiang was on his way, he looked up at the sky and saw several rows of wild geese flying up and down in different order in the air, all of them screaming in surprise.When Song Jiang saw it, he became suspicious.He also heard the cheers of the former army, which made people ask why.Pegasus reported that it turned out that the prodigal son Yanqing had just learned bow and arrow, and he shot geese into the air, and the arrows were not empty.But in a short while, more than ten swan geese were shot down, so the generals were very surprised.Song Jiang taught Yanqing to come on a flying horse.This Yanqing wore a white fanyang dust-shielding felt hat on his head, and a goose yellow silk quilted jacket. He rode a Wuming red sand horse, bent his bow and inserted arrows, and came on a flying horse.Immediately behind his back, he brought a few dead geese to see Song Jiang.Get off the horse, leave the saddle, and stand aside.Song Gongming asked, "You just came here to shoot geese?" Yan Qing replied: "My younger brother is just learning bow and arrow. When he saw a group of geese coming in the air, he didn't intend to shoot them. He didn't want to hit all the arrows and arrows. He shot dozens of geese by mistake." Song Jiang He said: "For those who serve in the army, learning to shoot bows and arrows is a matter of course. You can deal with the relatives who shoot. I think Bin Hong escaped the summer and cold, left Tianshan, carried reeds to cross the pass, and took advantage of the warm ground in the south of the Yangtze River to ask for rice beams. , come back in early spring. There are dozens, thirty or fifty of these birds of benevolence and righteousness, handing in humbly to each other, with the respected in front and the humble in the rear. There is also a retribution when it should be replaced. And the male loses its female, and the female loses its male. It is unworthy until death, without losing its meaning. This bird has the five elements of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith. Seeing dead geese in the sky, there are all mourning It means that if you lose your company, you will not violate it. This is benevolence. If you lose your sex, you will die unworthy. This is wisdom. Autumn, south, spring, north, do not come over, this is faith. How can you bear to harm this thing that is always ready for the birds! A flock of swan geese in the sky, call each other, just like my brothers, but you shot How many of them are lost compared to my brothers? How do you feel? Brothers, don’t harm this bird of courtesy and righteousness from now on.” Yan Qing was silent, too late to repent.Song Jiang was so moved that he wrote a poem on the horse's mouth:
The mountains are rugged and the water is vague, and there are two or three rows of geese across the sky.

Suddenly lost his flying companion, the moon is cold and the wind is clear, and his heart is heartbroken.

After Song Jiang recited poems, he didn't feel miserable in his heart, and hurt his feelings when he saw things.That night, troops were stationed at Shuanglin Ferry.In the tent, Song Jiang sighed again and again about Yanqing's shooting of geese, wondering in his heart, asked to take paper and pen, and wrote a poem:
The Chu sky is wide, and the geese are thousands of miles away from the flock, and they are suddenly scattered.Looking at the shadows, I want to go down to the cold pond, the grass is dry and the sand is clean, and the sky is far away.Can't write a book, just send a little lovesickness.In the twilight of the sky, and the dawn of smoke in the ancient moat, there are many complaints that cannot be complained.Pick up all the reeds and have nowhere to stay. I sigh when I will see you again in Yuguan.Loud whimpered sadly, hating Jiangzhu was hard to miss.Please watch him come back in spring and paint Liang Shuangyan.

After Song Jiang finished writing, he handed it to Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng to read.The meaning in the words is very sad and sorrowful, and Song Jiang is depressed.That night, Wu Yong and others set up wine and food to drink and drink, and then he will not rest until he is drunk.At dawn the next morning, everyone got on their horses and headed south.The journey on the road was in the late winter, and the scenery was bleak.Song Jiang is on the road, and this heart finally feels something.Or one day, return to the capital, station troops and horses at Chenqiaoyi, and wait for the imperial edict.

Let's say that Su Taiwei and Zhao Shumi's soldiers and horses first entered the city. Su Taiwei and Zhao Shumi sent Song Jiang and other soldiers to report to the emperor, and reported that Song Xianfeng and other generals and soldiers had returned to Beijing and had arrived outside the pass.Privy Councilor Zhao came to give a performance to the Son of Heaven, telling about the hard work of Song Jiang and other generals.The emperor heard it and praised it greatly.Then he passed the imperial decree, ordering Xuan Songjiang, the servant of Huangmen, to meet the king, and all of them were taught to enter the city wearing clothes.Let's say that Song Jiang and other generals stationed troops and horses in Chenqiaoyi, waiting for the imperial edict to enter the court.The servant of the Huangmen sent an order to teach Song Jiang and other 34 generals to wear their own clothes, military uniforms, leather belts, helmets and armor, brocade jackets, and gold and silver medals. See the emperor in court.Worship dance and live, and the mountains call long live.The emperor looked at Song Jiang and other generals and heroes, all of whom were dressed in brocade robes and gold belts, but only Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Song wore their own clothes.The Son of Heaven was overjoyed, and he said: "Many of you know that you have worked hard in conscripting, working hard at the frontier, and there are many slanderers, so I am very worried." Song Jiang prayed again and said: "All thanks to the great blessings of the sage, and the border court is peaceful. Even though the officials and other generals have golden wounds, they are all fine. Now that Chasai has surrendered, it is a gift of Your Majesty's benevolence." Thank you again.The emperor specially ordered the provincial court and other officials to discuss the title of nobility.Taishi Cai Jing and Privy Tongguan discussed and played: "The four sides are not at peace now, so you cannot be promoted. And Song Jiang is added as Baoyi Lang, who brings the imperial equipment, and is being appointed as the imperial envoy. Lu Junyi, the deputy pioneer, is added as Xuanwulang, who brings the imperial equipment. 72 members including Wu Yong were granted the title of regular general, and [-] members including Zhu Wu were awarded the title of partial general. Gold and silver were given, and the three soldiers were rewarded. Give rewards with Song Jiang and others.Song Jiang and others bowed their heads in Wende Hall to thank them.The emperor ordered Guanglu Temple to hold a royal banquet.How did you see such a good banquet?But see:

The tripod is burned with incense, and the golden vase is placed with flowers.Hanging brocade curtains made of shrimp whiskers, and hanging emerald and gold tents.In the Wuying Palace, dancing cranes and flying phoenixes are painted on the screen curtain; in the Wende Palace, dragons and phoenixes are painted on the imperial seat.The peacocks are screened, and the monarch and ministers enjoy the feast of Huayan;Coral dish with fairy peach and different fruits, tortoise shell dish with phoenix marrow and dragon liver.The scales are cut into silver shreds, and the jade pistils are cooked in fine tea.The chopsticks embedded with seven treasures are like jasper and glass; the spoons with eight treasures are like red silk agate.The glass bowl is full of pan-horse suckling lamb, and the amber cup is lightly drinking the jade liquid of Yaochi.The hall is full of golden flowers and green leaves, and the banquet is full of beautiful and beautiful flowers.The Xianyin Academy listens to and sings new words, and the Jiaofang Division plays and plays songs.How much food is cooked on the golden tripod, and the jade pot with unlimited fragrant mash and diarrhea.In the golden hall, the emperor personally gave the Zixia cup; in front of the white jade steps, the courtier Cheng En dipped in the imperial wine.The general frontier fortress has been working hard for a long time, and today the class teacher made a pilgrimage to the Lord.The beautiful woman Qi He Shengping Qu, and the painting drum beat frequently to win the game.

On that day, the emperor personally gave the imperial banquet.Reward Song Jiang with a collar of brocade robes, a pair of golden armour, and a famous horse; Lu Junyi and other rewards are given to the Guanzhi of the Neifu.Song Jiang and all the generals had stopped thanking them, and they all went out of the palace and went to the gate of Xihua, mounted their horses and returned to the camp.A group of generals came out of the city until they camped and rested, waiting for the commission of the imperial court.The next day, I saw Gongsun Sheng go up to the tent of the army in the camp, and beat Jishou with Song Jiang and others. Then he reported to Song Jiangdao: "I asked the Japanese master Luo Zhenren to pay Xiaodao. One day, I went back to the mountain to learn Taoism. Today my elder brother has achieved great success, and it is difficult to live in poverty for a long time. I bid farewell to my dear brother and resigned from all positions. That is to say, I will return to the mountain today, learn from teachers, and serve my mother for the rest of my life. Seeing Gongsun Sheng's foreword, Song Jiang did not dare to repent, and burst into tears. He said to Gongsun Sheng, "I think brothers in the past bloomed like flowers when they gathered together; today, when brothers parted, they fell like flowers. Although I dare not betray your foreword, how can the center bear it?" Parting?" Gongsun Sheng said: "If you leave my dear brother halfway through the path, you will be poor and ungrateful. Today, my dear brother has achieved success and fame, and this time is not the trend of the poor. My dear brother has to agree." Song Jiang repeatedly persuaded him to stay. If you stay here, you will hold a feast to separate the brothers.When they toasted at the feast, everyone sighed.Everyone shed tears, each with gold and silk.Gongsun Shengtui refused, and all the brothers just beat and tied them in their bags.The next day all the people said goodbye. Gongsun Sheng put on hemp shoes, carried the package on his back, beat the chief inspector, and went to the north.Song Jiang thought about it for days, tears fell like rain, and he was depressed.There are poems to prove it:
Over the past few years, he has made great achievements with each other, and the mystery of good fortune is endless.

Once awe-inspiring thinks about the old hermit, she floats long into the mountains.

At present, the Zhengdan Festival is approaching, and the officials are preparing to congratulate.Cai Taishi was afraid that all the people in Songjiang would come to congratulate him, and the emperor would definitely use it when he saw it.Only Song Jiang and Lu Junyi, two full-time officials, are taught to congratulate with the squad; the rest of the expedition officials are all white, and they are all exempt from courtesy for fear of being shocked.It's Zhengdan, the emperor set up a court, and all officials greeted him.Song Jiang and Lu Junyi are all in official uniform, and they are all serving in the waiting courtyard in the early stage, saluting with the class.On the emperor's hall, there is a jade belt with tassels on the hairpin and a minister of civil and military affairs.It's the day when you sit in the Zichen Palace and accept the court of all officials.Song Jiang and Lu Junyi worship with the class, and they cannot go to the hall under the second class.Looking up at the hall, there are jade hairpins, pearl shoes, purple ribbons and gold medals, which are called cups and birthdays.From dawn to noon, you can only drink Xie En Yujiu.Hundreds of officials are scattered, and the emperor rises.Song Jiang and Lu Junyi went out, took off their official uniforms, got on their horses and returned to the camp, with sad faces.Wu Yong waited.All the generals saw Song Jiang's sad face and unhappy heart, so they all came to celebrate the festival.More than a hundred people worshiped and stood on both sides.Song Jiang bowed his head and remained silent.Wu Yong asked, "Brother, why are you so sad when you come back to congratulate the Son of Heaven today?" Song Jiang sighed and said, "I think I was born with shallow horoscopes, and my life is difficult. Po Liao has suffered a lot, and today I have brought all the brothers to no avail. I myself I'm a small official, so I'm depressed." Wu Yong replied: "My brother knows that the good fortune is not clear, so why not happy? Everything is settled, so don't worry too much." Black Whirlwind Li Kui said: "Brother, I didn't think about it. When I was in Liangshanbo, Don't be angry with one person. But I want to recruit security today, and I will recruit security tomorrow, and I have to recruit security, but I am troubled. Let the brothers stay here, and then go to Liangshanpo, but not happy!" Song Jiang shouted: "This The black beast is rude again. Now that you are a minister of the state, you are a good minister of the court. You don't understand the truth, and your rebellion is still there." Li Kui responded again: "My brother didn't listen to me, and there were some in the Ming Dynasty. Angry!" Everyone laughed.And holding wine and Song Jiang Tianshou.I only drank until the second watch on that day, and they all dispersed.

The next day, dozens of horses were led into the city to celebrate the festival with Su Taiwei, Zhao Shumi and provincial officials.Traveling to and from the city, there are many spectators.Someone here told Cai Jing about it.The next day, after the Son of Heaven was played, an edict was sent to the Ministry of Education to issue a list of bans, and hang them on the gates of each city: "As long as there are officials and generals who should go out for an expedition, they are allowed to set up camp outside the city and wait for dispatch. Unless the superior expressly calls, they are not allowed Entering the city without authorization. If you violate it, you will be punished according to the military order." Send people to the door of Chenqiao along the way to post the bulletin.Someone saw it and came to report to Song Jiang.Song Jiang became more depressed, and all the generals were anxious and rebellious when they learned that, only Song Jiang was hindered.There are poems to prove it:
The Holy Lord does not make a difference in order to cure the root cause, and Hu Yue has always come from a family.

What's wrong with cheating people to do fallacies, not to allow loyalty to enter Beijing.

Let's say that the leader of the navy came to invite Wu Yong, the military adviser, to discuss affairs.Wu Yong went to the boat and met Li Jun, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun and Ruan's three Kunzhong. They all said to the military adviser: "The court has lost its trust, treacherous ministers have taken power, and blocked the way. My brother broke the Daliao, and he can only be an imperial envoy." , and have not rewarded me and others. Now there is a list, prohibiting us from entering the city. I think that group of treacherous officials will gradually separate our brothers and transfer them to each other. Now I ask the military commander to make his own opinion. Discuss it with my brother, but I absolutely refuse. Just kill the generals here, loot Tokyo, and then go back to Liangshanbo, it’s just that the grass will fall." Wu Yong said: "Brother Song Gongming absolutely refuses, all of you have wasted your efforts. If you don’t shoot the arrow, Break the arrow shaft. Since ancient times, snakes have no heads and can’t do it. How can I dare to assert myself? This can only be done when my brother agrees. If he refuses to make an opinion, you will not go out even if you turn against it.” Six sailors Seeing that Wu Yong did not dare to advocate, the leaders were silent.Wu Yong went back to the Zhongjun stronghold to chat with Song Jiang and care about the military situation. He said: "My dear brother is usually free and at ease, and many brothers are also happy. Now he has been recruited. He is a minister of the country. He doesn't want to be restrained. He can't Appointment. Brothers all have resentment." After Song Jiang heard this, he was shocked and said, "Who is doing what you say?" Wu Yong said: "This is human nature, let's talk more? The ancients said: 'Rich and noble , What people want; poverty and lowliness are what people hate.' Observe form and color, and know by appearance." Song Jiangdao: "Military teacher, if there are brothers who want to disagree, I will die in Jiuquan, and I will not change my loyalty! "Get up early the next day, gather all the generals to discuss military plans, and everyone, big or small, arrives at the account.Song Jiang said: "I was born as a small official in Yuncheng, and I committed a serious crime. I rely on your brothers to support me, respect me as the head, and today I have to be a minister. Since ancient times, it has been said: 'A man is not at ease, but he is not at ease.' Although the court This is the reason for the prohibition. You officers and men are not allowed to enter the city for no reason. We have a lot of reckless soldiers in the mountains and forests. If we cause trouble, we must punish the crime with the law, but it will damage our reputation. Now we are not allowed to enter the city , It’s a good thing. If all of you feel restrained, but have different ideas, you should behead me first, and then you go to do things yourself. Otherwise, I will have no face in the world, and I will die by slaying myself, and let you do what you want.” Everyone. After hearing Song Jiang's words, they all shed tears and left with vows.There are poems to prove it:
It is enviable that Gong Ming has a strong will, but he is loyal and less inclined.

I don't know that Qin had long legs on that day, so he was ashamed of Huang Quan's words of slaying himself.

Since then, the generals of Song Jiang have never entered the city without incident.Take a look at the Lantern Festival, when Tokyo celebrates the Lantern Festival with big lights.All the roads were made of lights, and they were lit in each yamen.Let's talk about the prodigal son Yanqing discussing with Lehe in the Songjiang camp: "Now Tokyo lights up a lantern show to celebrate the harvest. Today, the emperor and the people have fun. The two of us changed some clothes and sneaked into the city. After watching it Go back." Someone said, "Look at the lamp, and take me with you!" Yanqing saw it, but it was Li Kui, the black whirlwind.Li Kui said: "I have listened to you for a long time to discuss about watching the lights without telling me." Yan Qing said: "It doesn't matter if you go with you, just because you have a bad temper and you will cause trouble. See the list issued by the Provincial Court today, ban We are not allowed to enter the city. If you go into the city to see the lights and cause trouble, it will hit the plan of his provincial court." Li Kui said: "I don't make trouble now, and I will follow you." Yan Qing said: " Tomorrow, I will change my clothes and towels, and I will dress up like guests, so I will go to the city with you." Li Kui was overjoyed.

The next day, they all dressed up as guests and waited for Yanqing to go into the city together.Unexpectedly, Lehe and Shi Qian sneaked into the city first.Yan Qing couldn't be free and easy, so she had to go to the city with Li Kui to watch the lights.Dare not to enter through Chenqiao Gate, turn wide and wide, but enter the city through Fengqiu Gate.The two are holding hands, and they are throwing themselves at Sangjiawa.When I came to Wazi, I heard the sound of gongs in the Goulan.Li Kui was determined to go in, so Yan Qing had to stay with him in the crowd, listening to the commentary from above, and he was talking about "Three Kingdoms".Speaking of Guan Yunchang scraping the bone to cure the poison, there was an arrow in Yunchang's left arm, and the arrow poison penetrated into the bone. The doctor Hua Tuo said: "If you want to eliminate the poison of this disease, you can set up a copper pillar with an iron ring on it, and put your arm through it." In the past, they were fastened with ropes. The skin and flesh were cut open, and three parts of the bone were removed to remove the arrow poison. However, they were sewn together with oil thread, applied externally with dressings, and internally with long-lasting medicine. After half a month, they could recover as before. Therefore, it is extremely difficult Treatment." Guan Gong laughed and said: "A man is not afraid of life and death, let alone one hand? You don't need copper pillars and iron rings, so why not just cut it!" Then he called for the chessboard and played chess with the guest.Stretching out his left arm, he ordered Hua Tuo to scrape the bones to get the poison, without changing his face, talking and laughing freely to the guests.Just at this point, Li Kui shouted in the crowd: "This is a good man!" Everyone was shocked and looked at Li Kui.Yan Qing hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother Li, how are you a good village! Goulan Washe, how did you make such a fuss?" Li Kui said: "Speaking of which, I can't help but applaud." Yan Qing dragged Li Kui and left.The two left Sangjiawa and turned across the street.I saw a man flying bricks and throwing tiles to beat up a family.The man said: "Qingping the world, wandering around the world, broke up twice, refused to pay back the money, and beat me upside down in the house." After hearing this, Hei Xuanfeng saw that the road was uneven, so he went to persuade him.Yan Qing hugged her tightly.Li Kui opened his eyes, intending to fight him.The man said: "I have a bill with him to ask for money. What are you doing? I'm going to recruit Zhang to go to the south of the Yangtze River today. Don't mess with me. If you go there, you will die. If you want to fight, I will fight with you and die." Here, too, I need a good coffin." Li Kui said: "But what is going to the south of the Yangtze River, and I have never heard of ordering the army." Yan Qing persuaded the fight to end, and the two of them, arm in arm, turned out of the cross road and left. alley.Seeing a small tea shop, two people went in, looked for a seat, sat down and had tea.There was an old man at the opposite table, so he invited him to have tea and gossip.Yan Qing said: "Excuse me, Zhang Zhang, but there was only a soldier fighting at the entrance of the alley. He said, "I want to recruit Zhang to go to the south of the Yangtze River, and I will go to the south of the Yangtze River sooner or later." "The old man said: "The guest didn't know.Now Fangla, the grassroots bandit in the south of the Yangtze River, has turned against him and occupies 25 counties in Bazhou.From Muzhou to Runzhou, they called themselves a country, and came to Yangzhou sooner or later.Therefore, the imperial court has sent Zhang Zhaojue and Liu Dudu to suppress and arrest them. After hearing this, Yan Qing and Li Kui returned the tea money in a hurry, left the alley, ran out of the city, returned to the camp, and came to see Wu Xuexue, the military adviser, to report the matter. Wu Yong saw that he was overjoyed and came He told Song Xianfeng that Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River rebelled, and the imperial court had sent Zhang to lead the army. Song Jiang heard this and said, "It's not suitable for us and other generals to live here idle.If you don't ask people to tell Su Taiwei to play in front of the emperor, we would rather raise our troops to march. "At that time, all the generals were gathered to discuss, and everyone was happy. There are poems as evidence:
I am so overwhelmed with thoughts on the screen, and I watch lanterns in the city together.

Occasionally, there is a news from the tea shop that the matter of tigers and wolves is booming again.

The next day, Song Jiang changed some clothes and led Yan Qing to talk about it himself.Go straight into the city and dismount in front of Taiwei's mansion.Just when the Taiwei was in the mansion, it was reported.When the Taiwei heard about it, he hurriedly taught him to come in.Song Jiang came to the hall and worshiped for living again.Su Taiwei said: "What's the matter, general, come here to change clothes?" Song Jiang said: "Recently because the provincial court has issued a list, all the officers and soldiers who go out to conquer the city will not enter the city unless they are called. Today, the young general came here privately to report to his benefactor I heard that Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River rebelled, occupied the prefectures and counties, changed the year name without permission, invaded Runzhou, and crossed the river to attack Yangzhou sooner or later. Song Jiang and others have been idle for a long time, so it is not suitable for them to set up camp here. A certain voluntary department led troops and went to conquer Serve the country with all my heart. I hope you will write a performance in front of the emperor!" After hearing this, Taiwei Su was overjoyed and said: "The general's words are exactly what I want. This is a grand event for the country and the people. The next official should do his best. Baozuo, why not. General, please come back, come and stay early with a certain copy of this memorial to hear about the emperor, and it must be reused." Song Jiang resigned from the Taiwei, went back to the camp, and told his brothers about it.

But it was said that Su Taiwei entered the court early the next day and saw the emperor discussing affairs with all officials in the Pixiang hall.It is said that Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River was used as a waste, occupying 25 counties in Bazhou, and changed the name of the year. This is a rebellion, self-hegemony and respect, and the soldiers invaded Yangzhou this morning and evening.The emperor said: "Zhang Zhaojue and Liu Guangshi have been ordered to march, but there is no order." Su Taiwei Yueban said: "Thinking of this grass bandit, it will become a serious problem. Your Majesty has sent Zhang Zongbing and Liu Dudu to break it again." The Liao victory over the Song Xianfeng, these two armies are in the front, and they can go and destroy them, and they will do a great job." The emperor was overjoyed when he heard that, "What you said is exactly what I want." Urgently ordered the envoys to announce the provincial officials to listen to the imperial edict.At present, Zhang recruits, and the two staff officers, Cong and Geng, also act as security guards, and they want to transfer Song Jiang's cadres as the front vanguard.The officials of the provincial court came to the hall, received the imperial decree, and then announced that Song Xianfeng, Lu Xianfeng and His Highness Pixiang were taken to meet the emperor.After the dance worship was over, the emperor issued an imperial edict; Feng Song Jiang was made the chief of the Pingnan capital, the vanguard of Fang Lazheng, and Lu Junyi was named the deputy chief of soldiers and horses and the deputy pioneer of Pingnan.Each is given a gold belt, a brocade robe collar, a pair of gold armor, a famous horse to ride, and 25 color sections.The rest of the generals and assistants were given Duanpi and silver taels, and when they made meritorious service, they were promoted according to their names and received official titles.The leaders of the three armies gave silver taels.They all set off at the Guanzhi of the Neifu under a fixed limit.Song Jiang and Lu Junyi resigned from the emperor after receiving the imperial edict.The emperor said: "Qing and others, there is one who can engrave jade seals and believe in Jin Dajian, and another who can recognize good horses and Huang Fuduan, let these two drive before listening." Song Jiang and Lu Junyi worshiped again, looking up at the sky Xie En went out, mounted his horse and returned to camp.

Song Jiang and Lu Junyi rejoiced on the horse and walked side by side.When I came out of the city, I saw a man in the market, holding something in his hand, two clever sticks, with a small rope in the middle, and when he pulled it with his hand, the thing would ring.Song Jiang saw it, but didn't know it, so the sergeant called the man and asked, "what is this?"
One low and one high, the resounding voice pierced through the sky.

There are many male forces in the sky, but no one mentions them in vain.

Song Jiang said with a smile to Lu Junyi on the horse: "This Hu knock is just like you and me. It has a sky-high ability. No one supports it. How can it make a sound?"The two horses gossip, Song Jiang has more than enough meaning, and he writes another poem on the horse:
Linglong's heart is the most vain, and this is made with skillful workmanship.

If there is no one to support it, it will end up with no reputation for a long time.

Lu Junyi said: "Why did you say this, brother? According to our knowledge, although we are not inferior to the famous generals in ancient and modern times, if we have no ability, what is the use of someone to support us?" How can the emperor protect the performance with all his strength, how can he be reused by the emperor and be famous in the world? One must not forget his roots." Lu Junyi consciously slipped his words and dared not reply.

The two returned to the camp, raised their tents and sat down.At that time, all the generals were gathered, all the saddle horses and armor were packed, and they were ready to stand up and attack Fang La.The next day, I went to the Neifuguan to reward Duan Pi and silver taels, distributed among the generals, and distributed to the leaders of the three armies.Then he sent Jin Dajian and Huangfu Duan to the imperial court to listen to them.While Song Jiang dispatched the warships to go ahead, he ordered the leaders of the water army to rectify the sails and paddles by themselves, so as to look forward to the river's march.Send orders to the leaders of the horse army to rectify bows, arrows, guns and knives, robes and armor.Water and land go hand in hand, boats ride together, pack up and set off.I saw Cai Taishi sent his mansion to the camp to ask for Xiao Rang, a master scholar.The next day, Wang Duwei came to ask Song Jiang for an iron call Zi Lehe: "I heard that this man is good at singing, so I want him to be an envoy from his mansion." Song Jiang had to agree, and then sent the two of them off again.Since then, Song Jiang has gone to five brothers, feeling very depressed.When an agreement was made with Lu Junyi, all the troops were ordered to prepare to go out.

But it is said that Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River has been rebelling for a long time, and it is gradually formed, and he does not want to get a big cause.This man was originally a woodcutter in the mountains of Shezhou. When he went to the stream to wash his hands, he saw himself wearing a flat sky crown and a dragon robe in the water, telling humanity that he was blessed with the Son of Heaven, so he rebelled.For example, in Qingxi County, the inner garden palace of the treasure hall was built in Bangyuan Cave, and Muzhou and Shezhou also have their own palaces.There are still civil and military posts, bureaucrats in the provincial court, internal ministers and external generals, and ministers.Muzhou is now Jiande, which was changed to Yanzhou in Song Dynasty; Shezhou is now Wuyuan, which was changed to Huizhou in Song Dynasty.From here, Fang Lazhi occupied Runzhou, which is now Zhenjiang.A total of 25 counties in the eight states.That eight states?Shezhou, Muzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Changzhou, Huzhou, Xuanzhou, Runzhou.The 25 counties are all under the control of these eight states.At this time, Jiaxing, Songjiang, Chongde, and Haining were all county governments. Fang La was the lord of the country, and still had three provinces, six counties, Taiwan courts and other officials.It turned out that Fang La wrote Yingtian Book, and on the map on the back, he said: "Since adding a little to ten thousand, you will be honored at the end of winter. Crossing the Zhejiang River, it will appear in Wuxing." The ten thousand is also "ten thousand". It is the word "fang".The end of winter is "La"; the one who is called venerable is the king in the south.It should be the word "Fang La".Occupying the eight counties in the south of the Yangtze River is much worse than Liao.

Besides, Song Jiang resigned from the officials of the provincial court when he chose Sunrise as a teacher.When Su Taiwei and Zhao Shumi came to see him off in person, he rewarded the three armies.The leader of the water army has already entered the Huaihe River from Sishui, looking at the Huai'an military dam, and went to Yangzhou to collect them all.Song Jiang and Lu Junyi thanked Su Taiwei and Zhao Shumi, and set off on the road.The generals and horses were divided into five groups, and they took the dry road to vote for Yangzhou.Yu Lu has nothing to say.The former army has arrived in Tunza, Huai'an County.When there are officials from this prefecture, setting up a banquet, and waiting for Song Xianfeng to arrive, please enter the city to take care of him and say: "Fang La's bandit army is huge, and the enemy should not be underestimated. In front of you is the Yangtze River, which is more than [-] miles away, rushing into the sea. This is the first dangerous pass in the south of the Yangtze River. Across the river is Runzhou, and now Fang La's privy Lu Shinang and twelve commanders are guarding the river bank. If Runzhou is not home, it will be difficult to resist the enemy." Song Jiang listened So he asked Wu, the military advisor, to make a good plan: "That is to say, the big river in front of us is intercepted. How can we cross it? When the Liao Kingdom was broken, it was all dry roads, and the leader of the water army did not build the credit. This time, to cross the south of the Yangtze River, we need to move forward with water ships. "Wu Yongdao: "There are Jin and Jiao Er Mountains in the Yangtze River, which are close to the city of Runzhou. You can ask a few brothers to go to explore the way, inquire about the news across the river, and what ships can be used to cross the river." Song Jiang sent an order to teach the sailors The leader came to listen to the order: "Which one of your brothers and I will go to explore the road first and find out the news of Gejiang? Is there any good way to enter the army?" I saw that four generals were transferred under the tent, and all of them were willing to go.It wasn't these few people who came to explore the way, and they have different religions: the dead body is as high as Beigu Mountain, and the Yangtze River is stained with blood.In the city of Runzhou, ghosts were crying and howling, and in Jinshan Temple, the sky was turned upside down.The Zhijiao army flew across Wulongling, and the battleship swallowed Baiyantan.After all, how did Song Jiang's army and horses go to collect Fang La, and let's listen to the next chapter.

This time, the capital left four generals: Jin Dajian, Huangfuduan, Xiao Rang, and Lehe; and one general left behind to return to the mountain: Gongsun Sheng.
