Yu Shimingyan

Chapter 46
Besides, Liu Hanhong, the observation envoy of Yuezhou, heard that Huang Chaobing had arrived, so he didn't make preparations for a while.But I sent people to talk, and I would like to reward the army with more gold and silk, so as to avoid attack and plunder.Huang Chao received his gold and silk, and also passed through Yuezhou.It turned out that Liu Hanhong was the governor of Hangzhou first, and Dong Chang served as a general under him, serving as a recruiter.Dong Chang was promoted to governor of Hangzhou because of his meritorious service in quelling the rebellion of the traitor Wang Ying, but Liu Hanhong was promoted to the observation envoy of Yuezhou.Because of Dong Chang's background under his command, Han Hong repeatedly bullied Dong Chang;Today the nest thief passed through Yuezhou. Although he did not kill or plunder, he spent a lot of money and silk. After visiting Hangzhou and being rewarded for his achievements by Dong Chang, he felt more and more dissatisfied.A guest from the door, Shen Ke, offered advice: "The merit of Lin'an's repelling the bandits all depends on the soldiers and horses who sent Qian Liu to use his strategy to win. I heard that Qian Liu was wise and brave, and Ming Gongruo had a book that was close at hand, and he was rich in gift coins. The rebels in the state were not defeated, so they borrowed money from Dong Chang to come here to conquer. Qian Liu was coaxed to come here, and he either treated him preferentially to tie his heart, or asked for trouble to behead him. Dong Chang cut off his right arm, and there was nothing he could do. Fang At present, the government is upside down, the eunuchs exercise power, and the official orders are not good. The heroes of the world all have the intention of separatist. If Dongchang is annexed, Hangzhou and Yue will be left in danger. This is also the cause of the overlord." Liu Hanhong is a man with great ambitions and few talents; this In a word, it is a chance.Caressing Shen Ke's back with his hands, he repeatedly praised: "My confidants see very clearly. Wonderful, wonderful!" Then he hurriedly wrote a book: "Han Hong worships again, and writes a letter to the old man Dong Gong: Nest thieves are rampant, Yuezhou has few soldiers, and it is difficult to defend against them. I heard that there is a soldier under his command, Qian Liu, who seeks to predict the enemy and is brave to become the champion. Now that Guizhou is flat, I beg for the righteousness of lips and teeth. Thief, after the matter is settled, the credit goes to his subordinates. He has a pair of gold armor and two famous horses, and he has the right to show his enthusiasm, and he will accept it with a smile." It turned out that Dong Chang also had suspicions about Liu Hanhong, and he sent someone to inquire about Yuezhou in advance. He knew Huang Chao Soldiers retreat.Now the book says that nest bandits are rampant, and there must be a reason for it.That is to ask Qian Liu to discuss.Qian Liu said: "Ming Gong and Liu Guan have a rift, and this is an irreconcilable situation. I heard that Liu Guan entrusted himself with the emperor's mantle, and his desires were not what he wanted. The nest thief did not send troops to reject each other, but used gold and silk. The intention of buying a peace is unpredictable. If the Duke of the Ming Dynasty pays [-] yuan for fake elite soldiers, he will help each other. Han Hong has no plan, so he will be happy to accept it. Taking advantage of it, Yuezhou can be decided at one stroke. So he played for the court and sat down with Han Hong The crime of plotting treason with bandits. If the imperial court appeases all matters, it must reward Duke Ming’s merits heavily. Duke Ming’s meritorious deeds will be honored on bamboo and silk, and his body will rest on Mount Tai. Isn’t that a perfect strategy?” Dong Chang readily agreed.That is to say, send back the letter, and let the envoy come first.Afterwards, two thousand elite soldiers were sent out, and Qian Liu was paid.Before leaving, he said: "Go and do it according to the opportunity, be careful."

But Liu Hanhong said that after receiving the letter, he was overjoyed to know that Dong Chang had sent Qian Liu to come!Then he discussed seriously with the guests.Shen Ke said: "The 2000 men led by Qian Liu are all victorious. If they enter the city, it will be difficult to control. Now that they are in the future, they will be welcomed in advance, so that they will station troops outside the city and call Qian Liu alone to meet them. He has no wings, but I ruled him. Then he sent generals to lead his soldiers, generously added kindness and labor, and made him turn against him and attack Hangzhou. The thunder can't cover his ears, and Dong Chang can be defeated." Liu Hanhong praised again: "My confidant What people see is extremely clear. Wonderful, wonderful!" He ordered Shen Ke to go out of the city to meet Qian Liu.No problem.

Besides, Qian Liu led two thousand soldiers and horses to the outside of Yuezhou City.Shen Ke greeted him, and after the meeting ceremony, Shen Ke said: "I am ordered by the observer: the city is too small to accommodate guests and soldiers, and the power lies outside the city; just invite the generals to meet in the city." Qian Liu knew that Liu Hanhong was making money. He pretended to be angry and said: "Qian is a common man, and the inspector is not too stupid, so he recruits with rich money. I am willing to repay the kindness of my friend with my heart. Governor Dong and the inspector Foreign relatives and internal taboos, do not want a certain to come; and only willing to send 500 troops. A certain reluctance repeatedly, Fang promised two thousand. A certain selection is strong, one can be a hundred, and specially come to assist the envoy, and the achievements of hundreds of generations. Don't think of someone's hard work, and personally reward him; but sit in the city, call someone to meet each other, like calling a servant, this is not the way to respect a virtuous person! So someone led his troops back, unwilling to see the inspector." After finishing speaking, he looked up and sighed. Yun: "Qian Mou has a strong heart, it's a pity, it's a pity!" Shen Ke only admitted that he was sincere, and hurriedly accepted the subject: "Don't make mistakes, the general. The observation really doesn't know the general's mind. Rong X went to the city to tell the observation, and he must work in the army himself , meet the general." After finishing speaking, the flying horse went into the city.Qian Liu paid his confidant generals: so so.Everyone prepares secretly.

Let's say that Liu Hanhong believed it when he heard Shen Ke's reply.It is a gift to reward the army by killing cattle and horses, and distributing a lot of rations.He led the way with banners, drums and music until he sat down in the post outside the north gate, waiting for Qian Liu to come in, hoping that he would perform the ritual of meeting the general.Unexpectedly, Qian Liu led more than [-] confidantes and walked in proudly.He cupped his hands to Liu Hanhong and said, "Young general is in armor, so I won't bow down." Liu Hanhong was so angry that his face turned ashen.Shen Ke felt that he was dishonest, his face was flushed, he stepped forward and said angrily: "The general is in trouble! As the saying goes, when an army has a leader, there will be a leader. It is a common practice in ancient times to respect the superior and inferior. The governor Dong ordered the general to come and help with the observation, and the general is the observation The people under his command; Kuang Dong, the governor, was born in the observation sect, but he still dare not observe the enemy. The general is so arrogant, how can you underestimate me, Yuezhou has no troops?" Qian Liu shouted loudly: "No name boy Dare to chatter." Looking up at their turbans, more than twenty people all went into a fit.It was too late, but it was too late, Qian Liu pulled out his sword, Shen Ke was unprepared, and chopped off his head with a knife.Liu Hanhong ran away after looking at the post.There were about a hundred people who followed him, and they all came forward to get the money.How can Qian Liu look for Liu Hanhong in the back garden of the post house, just like chopping melons and vegetables, killing and scattering people, but there is no trace of him.I saw a corner missing on the earthen wall, and I was known to have climbed the wall.Qian Liu was so remorseful that he led two thousand troops and wanted to attack Yuezhou.Seeing that the city has been prepared, he has no army to follow, and it is difficult to fight alone; he has to turn the flag head and return to the old road.When Liu Hanhong in the city heard that Qian Liu had returned to the army, he hurriedly ordered [-] elite soldiers. He sent Lu Cui as the vanguard, leading the army himself, and then pursued him.

But Qian Liu also expected that the Yuezhou army and horses would come to chase him, day and night.When I came to the foot of Bailong Mountain, I suddenly heard the sound of a gong, and more than 200 people crowded out of the mountain, pushing aside one word at a time.As the first hero, how was he born?Zensheng dress up?A Tang scarf wrapped in gold thread, wearing a green brocade jacket.The waist is tied to the arms, and the feet are covered with leather boots.Hang a pair of bow and arrow bags, and take a wind-splashing knife.Born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, purple face and fist whiskers.There are celebrities on the private merchant ship, and they are invincible in the fighting field.Qian Liu went out to watch.When the hero saw Qian Liu, he put down his knife and bowed to him.Qian Liu recognized Gu Sanlang, a salt dealer and thief named Gu Quanwu, so he got off his horse, helped him up and said, "Sanlang, long time goodbye! Why are you here?" There is no way to make a supplementary report. I heard that Huang Chao's soldiers had arrived, and I wanted to lead volunteer soldiers to protect the place, so I met with Dalang. Later, I heard that Dalang succeeded in breaking the thief and became an official of the court; I also heard that I went to Liu's observation office in Yuezhou Effectiveness. Not long ago, more than [-] salt disciples gathered together, and they were about to go there to seek help. When will we meet here? I don’t know why Dalang returned to the army so quickly?” Qian Liu explained Liu Hanhong’s incident in detail. .He said: "I was lucky to meet Sanlang today, and there is something annoying about him. My younger brother figured that Liu Hanhong would come to catch up, so he went all night. He is self-confident, and he doesn't care about Dong Cishi. Besides, Hangzhou is his old rule. If he can't catch up, he will inevitably Go straight to Hangzhou and fight with the Dong family. Sanlang leads [-] people and temporarily lives at the foot of Bailong Mountain. Waiting for his troops to pass, he can plan to feign surrender. If the soldiers come to Hangzhou, just watch the younger brother send troops to meet the enemy. Sanlang rises from the middle, Han Hong It can be killed. If Han Hong is killed, it will be the stage for you to advance. My younger brother recommended him before Dong Cishi, and he has a bright future! There must be no mistake." Gu Quanwu said: "Da Lang will pay for everything. People say goodbye and go separately.It is exactly: business is everywhere in peace, and murder is always in trouble.I'm counting everyone counting on me, how many people can win on the battlefield?

But it is said that Liu Hanhong led his troops to the border of Yuezhou, and Lu Cui, the vanguard, found out that Qian Liu came back at night and came to report Hanhong's return to the army.Han Hong said angrily: "Young soldier Qian Liu, I was insulted. How can I see the people of this state again! The place under my old jurisdiction in Hangzhou was recommended by Dong Changwu; now I personally lead troops there, and I must kill Dong Chang. Qian Liu, you can only be forgiven if you plead guilty. Otherwise, you will not be a human being!" Immediately, Lu Cui was dismissed, and he sent an order to set off for Hangzhou.Walking to the foot of Bailong Mountain in Fuyang, suddenly there was a sound of a gong, and more than two hundred people poured out, spreading out word by word.As the first hero, he is very fierce and brave with a big knife in his hand.Han Hong was taken aback and was about to meet the enemy.I saw that the man held the knife head and asked sharply: "Is the general coming from Yuezhou Liu Cha?" Han Hong replied: "Exactly." "I have been waiting for a long time." Liu Hanhong asked him why he came.Nahan said: "The villain's surname is Gu, and his name is Quanwu. He is from Lin'an County. He was arrested by the prefecture and county for selling illegal salt. The villain has been fleeing for his life in the rivers and lakes. I recently heard that his brother Qian Liu became an official. The villain is going to join him. When is he jealous of the virtuous and capable, he is expensive and forgets the cheap, and he can't tolerate him, so he has to borrow the power of Bailong Mountain to live in Luocao. Yesterday Qian Liu passed by here, and the villain wanted to kill him. Zhengnai's men Outnumbered, nothing to be afraid of. Hearing that this person has offended the inspector, the villain is willing to be the front line, and less work like a dog." Liu Hanhong was overjoyed!So he taught Gu Quanwu to take Lu Cui's place, and divided up a thousand troops to move forward.Lu Cui changed to a rear post.

Not a day later, I came to the city of Hangzhou.At this time, Qian Liu had met Dong Chang and made preparations.Hearing that the Yuezhou soldiers had arrived, Dong Chang went to the tower and shouted: "The lower officials and the inspectors are both officials of the imperial court, and each guards one side. The lower officials don't dare to offend the inspectors. I don't know what's going on here?" Liu Hanhong cursed: "You ungrateful thief! If you knew the current affairs early, you would behead Qian Liu and sacrifice your head, so you won't have to fight." Dong Chang said, "Don't be angry with the envoy. Qian Liu has come to accuse him." When the city gate opened, an army rushed out, and it was Qian Liu who came.Zhong Ming on the left and Zhong Liang on the right rushed into the enemy's formation to capture Liu Hanhong.Han Hong was in a hurry, and shouted urgently: "Where is the vanguard?" A general beside him responded, "Here is the vanguard!"With a single move of the knife, Qian Liu rushed into the battle, shouting: "The one who surrenders will not die!" 5000 people surrendered without a fight, and Lu Cui killed himself.The one who killed Han Hong was Gu Quanwu.It's exactly: If you are resourceful but not courageous, you are worthy of painting, but if you are brave but not resourceful, you will die easily.There must be strategy and courage, waiting to see a hundred battles and a hundred victories.When Dong Chang saw Liu Hanhong beheaded, he opened the city gate to withdraw the army.Qian Liu introduced Gu Quanwu to meet Dong Chang, and Dong Chang was overjoyed!

Han Hong's crimes will be filed against the imperial court, and he will be ranked among the generals below Qian Liu for their meritorious service.At that time, the imperial court was too busy to ask questions, so Dong Chang was promoted to the observation envoy of Yuezhou, who took the place of Liu Hanhong; Qian Liu was the governor of Hangzhou, who took the place of Dong Chang; Zhong Ming, Zhong Liang and Gu Quanwu all had officials and titles. .Zhong Qi married his own daughter to Qian Liu as his wife.Dong Chang moved the town to Yuezhou and ceded Hangzhou to Qian Liu.Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian both came to live in Hangzhou, so it goes without saying that they have a noble family.

But there was a farmer in Lin'an County who was hoeing the field at the foot of Tianmu Mountain. He hoeed a small stone tablet with a few lines of words engraved on it.Farmers don't know it, so they see Luo Ping, a scholar in the village.Luo Xuexue wiped the soil to identify it, but it was four prophecies.The way is: "Tianmu Mountain hangs two breasts long, dragons and phoenixes dance to Qiantang. From Xunfeng at a point in Haimen, emperors will emerge in 500 years." The four characters "Jin Guo Pu Ji" are engraved on the back.Luo Xuexue thought it was a rare commodity and stayed at home.The next day, pregnant with the stele, she went to the Hangzhou mansion and offered it to Qian Liu, the governor, to express the destiny.Qian Liu looked at it, and said angrily: "I'm lying to you? You should be beheaded!"Drinking and teaching random sticks, and its stele was destroyed in the court.It turned out that Qian Liu knew that this was an auspicious prophecy, and it happened to him.I'm afraid that the sound will be made public, and I deliberately don't believe it.It is to see that he is thoughtful and thoughtful.

Besides, when Luo Xuexue was beaten, he deeply hated the governor's rudeness, and his good intentions turned into malice.He had a plan in his heart, "It would be beneficial if we don't present this stele to Yuezhou Dong for observation." He thought, "Although this stele is broken, we can still see it together." come out.It turned out that it was only broken into three pieces, and the handwriting was made up without any damage.Luo Ping was overjoyed, he still wrapped the stele and took the road to Yuezhou.After walking for two days, I suddenly met a group of people on the road, hugging a child of twelve or thirteen years old.The child held a bamboo cage in his hand, the outside of the cage was covered with a curtain, and inside was a small kingfisher.Luo Ping leaned forward and asked why.Everyone said: "This little bird is neither a parrot nor a pheasant, but it can talk. We want to ask this child to buy him to play, and we have paid him enough money, but we still refuse." Seeing the little bird, he turned his head twice, and said repeatedly: "Emperor Dong! Emperor Dong!" Luo Ping asked: "Is this little bird born to talk? Or was it taught?" The child said: "My father is here When chopping firewood in the village, I can hear the conversation on the tree, but it is this beast. It is natural to talk when it gets a perch on the pole." Luo Ping said: "You and I have enough money for two pens, sell them to me." The child won two pens The money went happily.Luo Ping grabbed the birdcage and hurried on his way.
