Aftermath of Water Margin

Chapter 19 Qi Bing Duan Qing Napingzhou City Shows His Powers to Capture Tang Yijia
However, it is said that Wen Huanzhang was brought to Kaifeng Mansion by the scorched ghost, and he wanted to go to Tokyo to split up the matter. He couldn't let the girl go, but he was so safe that the central government, Mu Chun, came to pick up Xiao and Jin. They went to the cottage and called their daughter Go together, the body will not be fettered.It was a bit lonely to send the car to the car at five o'clock.I'm afraid someone from Dongchang Mansion will come to pick it up, seal off the house and entrust the neighbors to take care of it.I will go to Tokyo by myself, first go to pay a visit to Su Taiwei, and present the Jiaomian ghost to Kaifeng Mansion with hatred. break down.Su Taiwei said: "It's okay. I'll send an official to tell Fu Yin that the person who presented the head should be punished for the crime of framing him." Wen Huanzhang thanked him and came out.Go to Daxiangguo Temple to find an apartment to live in, and see where he is.

At that time, the elder Zhiqing had already looked back. There was an old monk in the temple, who was a virtuous Zen master with the name of vacuum.At night, I called the waiter to cook tea and gossip with Wen Huanzhang, saying, "Mr. Wen, you are a sincere gentleman who hides from the world. Why did you come back here today?" The matter is in Kaifeng Mansion. I met Su Taiwei in the morning and broke up with me. I will delay it for a few days and stay in your temple, but I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to disturb." Vacuum smiled and said: "It's just slow, why do you say that! Although the old man is People from outside the world can't see it in their eyes, and they have to go out of Beijing to find a secluded place to settle down. It goes without saying that the affairs of the court have been ruined by a group of stubborn parties. There are also disasters, have you heard of them? "Wen Huanzhang said: "I'm far away in the countryside, I don't know." Vacuum said: "There is no one in the night, so you might as well talk about it. There are dragons hanging in the military workshop, and they are taken from the soldiers to make preserved. It rains for seven days, and the capital is flooded. It was more than ten feet high. A black lump appeared in the forbidden area, its shape was more than ten feet long, the poisonous gas was sprayed out, and blood was scattered everywhere. There were also black men squatting like dogs, and they robbed children to eat when the lamp was lit. The fox sat on the imperial couch. The east gate A vegetable seller outside came to Xuande Gate, suddenly obsessed, crossed his hands and cursed: "Emperor Taizu and Emperor Shenzong told me to tell me, quickly change!" There is also a man who sells green fruits and has a baby. The wife suddenly had a beard and beard, six or seven inches long, like a man, and was specially ordered to be a female Taoist priest. The sky dog ​​star fell, and the sound was like thunder. The comet came out of Ziweiyuan, several feet long, and swept the emperor's seat in the north, sweeping Wenchang. All kinds of It's weird, and I can't describe it. In short, 'when a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers'. Seeing the world is in chaos. This is an old monk's babbling, sir, you must speak carefully." Talking late at night, I went to the guest house to send the bill to bed.The next day, Wen Huanzhang met with Gao Taiwei and entrusted him with the matter.Gao Qiu said: "Military affairs are sloppy, where can we pursue these details! Don't worry, I'll go and talk to Kaifeng Mansion." Wen Huanzhang thanked him and went back to Daxiangguo Temple without asking.

It turns out that after the peace talks between Dajin and the Song Dynasty, the land of Yanyun and the Song Dynasty were used to move the wealthy family and the old officials of the Liao Kingdom Zuo Qigong to the east.Those people were on the road, wandering and suffering, abandoning their sons and wives, persecution, humiliation and whipping, which was extremely difficult.Traveling to Pingzhou, they all complained to the guard Zhang Dao: "Prime Minister Zuo Qigong and others surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. Many people were relocated, their families were scattered, their wives and children were taken into captivity, and life would be better than death. I beg you to be the master and let us return. Native land, thank you for life and death!" Zhang called the generals to discuss: "I am a general of the Liao Kingdom, guarding Pingzhou, and the soldiers are strong and brave. Why don't you surrender to the Song Dynasty, revive the Liao Kingdom, and let the people gather in peace. This is impossible!" So he asked the prime minister Zuo Qigong to say: "Your Majesty is the Minister of the Liao Kingdom, and you should do your best to defend the country. Why did the Jin soldiers come to surrender and make the Liao Kingdom extinct? Now the people are moving eastward. It's all your fault!" Zuo Qigong had no words to answer, Zhang ordered the warriors to be hanged and dumped in the wild.Before the dispatched tooth general Li Bi surrendered to Tong Guanjun.Tong Guan Miben said: "Pingzhou is a place of great shape, and the talents of the general manager Zhang are enough to control the Jin people and Anyan." Zuo Silang Zhu Zhao said: "No. The former broke the Liao Dynasty with the Jin and abandoned the brotherhood. It is a mistake for the country to be close to the neighbors of tigers and wolves. Now Xinxin and Jinmeng accept the rebellion and accept the surrender. If you start a quarrel, you will regret it later." Wang Fu was furious, dismissed Zhu Zhao as a citizen, and persuaded the emperor to accept him. Zhang was awarded the title of General Zhendong, and he was bestowed with golden satin.Zhang Yi received the edict, so he changed the banner of the Song Dynasty and trained troops to defend the city.

When the gold master heard that Zhang Yi had surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he said angrily: "The Song Dynasty used my troops to break the Liao Kingdom, and divided the land of Yanyun with him with good intentions. I was not greedy enough, and I broke the oath of the alliance. I must attack!" If you don't lead 30 troops, attack Pingzhou.After attacking for three days in a row, Zhang Yi was at a loss, so he had to abandon Pingzhou and fled to Tongguan camp with his two sons.I can't leave Pingzhou, so I chased after him quickly, and blamed Tong Guan: "Abandon the alliance and accept the rebellion, and send Zhang Jing out quickly, it can be forgiven. If you are obsessed with keeping it, you will kill him in Tokyo, and even the incompetent and stupid king, Catch them together." Tong Guan was flustered, so he got Zhang and his son drunk and strangled them, put the heads in the wooden box, and sent them to Jinying.If Wuli refuses to stop the army, Tong Guan must come to apologize in person.Tong Guan was so scared that he would not go anywhere, so he fled back to the capital overnight.At that time, Guo Yaoshi ruled all the way, recruited [-] soldiers, and had a heart to advance and retreat. Hearing that Zhang Ying was killed, his head was sent to the Jinying, and he said angrily: "If the Jinren want Zhang Ying, kill him; if they want me, it's the same! "That is to lead the crowd to invest in gold, as a guide, to know the truth of the Song Dynasty, and to lead the troops in depth.

The Kingdom of Jin sent another general, Nian Meihua, to command [-] troops to attack Taiyuan.The border report is very urgent, and the feathers are handed over.The Emperor Daojun was apprehensive, and gathered civil and military officials to discuss the strategy of avoiding the army.He ordered the king of Qin to work in the world, and took the crown prince as the shepherd of Kaifeng, and he will be lucky in Haozhou.Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang stabbed blood on his arm, asked for a false title of crown prince, and made him guard the clan for His Majesty, win the hearts of soldiers, defend the enemy with death, and the world can be protected.The emperor decided, and the crown prince will be passed on tomorrow.The crown prince came to the throne, honored as the Supreme Emperor, and lived in Longde Palace, which was changed to the first year of Jingkang.Taking Li Gang as the head of the Ministry of War, he divided up ten members of the imperial battalion commanders and horses, each leading two thousand soldiers, and went to Liyang to prevent the Jin soldiers from crossing the river.This is a major matter for the court, so let's put it aside.

Let's say that the scorched-faced ghost's mother, Mrs. Hu, was at home, and she was suspicious when she didn't see her son coming back.A neighbor from Dongchang said that in the orange well in front of the ancient temple at the intersection of Sancha Road, local people had unearthed a dead body, which looked like a burnt-faced ghost.When Mrs. Hu heard that her soul was gone, she asked her neighbors to take her there. When she saw that she was thrown on the wasteland, her complexion was never scorched, and she was overjoyed after death, but there was no one back, and she wanted to be chewed by dogs.Weeping loudly, with silver around me, I bought a coffin and put it in storage.When I got home, I cried day and night, thinking, "Wen Huanzhang must have tried to kill me." I'm going to Dongchang Mansion to sue.Although he is cunning, he is a womanizer, and his neighbors hate him for what he usually does. No one helps him, and when he gets sick, it will be a pity within a few days.The ancients said it well: "The green bamboo has a snake's mouth, and the wasp's tail has a needle. The two are not poisonous, but the most poisonous to a woman's heart." Since the Hu family lost her husband, she should keep the chastity; He should also take care of the family business and raise children with him; instead of doting on his ex-husband's son, he was a smart and handsome child, and he was pitifully obliterated to death.He also blamed the fair words of others, and taught his son to present his head to frame the virtuous.The emperor has eyes, and it is not a pity that both mother and child will die.Gossip was lost.

Besides, Wen Huanzhang has been in Daxiangguo Temple for a long time, and he has not seen the ghost of burnt face come to urge the trial.Because of Su Taiwei's entrustment, Kaifeng Mansion did not come to mention it.Play all day long, and talk about Buddhism with Zen Master Vacuum in your spare time.One day, I rejoiced in the main hall and watched people rushing to the temple market.I saw an officer and two servants riding horses to visit guests in the temple.Get off the horse and ask the servant to post the post.Seeing Wen Huanzhang, he raised his hand and said, "It's been a long time. Why are you here?" When Wen Huanzhang looked at it, he was screaming with two whips.He hurriedly saluted forward and said: "Old General, it's been many years since we left. I've always been happy! I have some small things to live here. Please come in and wait for tea." Hu Yanzhuo said: "A poor friend is also here to live here, so I came to worship him "The servant came back and replied: "Master is out of Beijing." Wen Huanzhang invited him to sit down in Songyuexuan, and the waiter offered tea.Hu Yanzhuo asked again, "what's the matter, sir?" Wen Huanzhang told about An Daoquan's visit to the village by chance, leaving him to see a doctor, Xiao and Jin's assassination, leaving his family members, and being presented by the scorched-faced ghost.Hu Yanzhuo said: "This is a trivial matter, without a trace, what to be afraid of him! Our brothers in the old days were busy with many things. After being recruited, they made great efforts for the court. We should do our duty to remove officials. Why is there a riot in the east and a riot in the west? Not only has Song Gongming's loyalty been ruined all his life, but we have lost our brilliance, and we can always say that it is the remnant party in Liangshan!" Wen Huanzhang said: "It is always persecuted by lawsuits, out of Helpless. Even the outsiders of Xiaosheng are also involved." Hu Yanzhuo said: "There is a child, named Hu Yanyu, who has grown up, has considerable physical strength, and is familiar with martial arts, but he doesn't know how to write. Mr. Qu’s instruction, I don’t know how to respect it?” Wen Huanzhang thought for a while: “My daughter has settled down, and there is nothing to do when she goes home. Besides, the capital invites you on a monthly basis, so you can move forward or retreat freely.” He replied: “ But I'm afraid I'm not talented enough, so I can't be your master's teacher." Hu Yanzhuo said: "Don't be too humble. My apartment is not far from here, so please stop to welcome me." Raise your hand and go out.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, the servant brought a horse and a name card to pick it up.Wen Huanzhang thanked Zen Master Vacuum, rode to the door, and Hu Yanzhuo and his son greeted him.Look at that young man's appearance is burly, majestic, heroic, he is really the son of the general.Entering the middle hall, Hu Yanzhuo asked Wen Huanzhang to sit on the courtyard.Young master Hu Yanyu bowed four times on his back, and Wen Huanzhang received two bows beside him.Reception in the evening.The next day, I went to the library to study, and taught the six secrets and three strategies with all my heart, and the young master also understood it, so it's no problem.

One day when Hu Yanzhuo came back from training in the camp, he went to the Longde Archway and saw a man rushing out with a red sheepskin box in a side alley.An elementary school student in the back, not more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate features, white face and red lips, Fei also rushed over and shouted: "You bold thief! You have stolen something, where are you going!" Stopping him, he said: "Boy, why did you chase him?" The elementary school student said anxiously, "How dare you be his accomplice?" He couldn't get rid of it, and was furious in his heart. He staggered and turned the palm in front of him to one side; Flying up his right foot again, he kicked the waist and crotch hard, and the pain went away.There is another one, not daring to move forward.The elementary school student Fei also caught up, punched the person holding the box in the vest, grabbed the box with split hands, and cursed: "This is a thief who can't be killed! Just take it to the palace!" Said: "These four big men can't stand the hands of this little boy, they show great strength! Then they grow up somehow!" Hu Yanzhuo also reined in the horse and stared blankly, calling: "You little official, Which family is it from? What's in the box?" The elementary school student looked at Hu Yanzhuo up and down, and knew that he had a duty, so he put down the box calmly, crossed his hands and replied: "My surname is Xu. The box is handed down by three generations of ancestors. A pair of goose feathers was built with gold chain mail, called "Sai Tang Ni". My late father was in Japan, and Hua'er Wang Taiwei was willing to pay [-] guan to buy him, but he was not willing to sell him. My late father was on the way to conquer Fangla. He died of illness, his mother died again, and he was supported by only one mother-in-law. Although the family was poor, they kept the legacy at home and kept it at home. When I saw it, I replied that there was no more. Po Nai found out that I was not at home, and my mother was a girl, so he broke into the power room and snatched it out. I happened to be home, so I came to take it back." Hu Yanzhuo knew it was Xu Ning's son, and saw He was brave and ambitious, and said: "In this way, Ling Xianzun is Xu Ning, the golden gunner. I am Hu Yanzhuo with two whips, and I was a friend of eight worshippers. Nephew, since your parents are both dead, why don't you come to me?" My child is a classmate at home? Now it is very convenient to ask Mr. Wen to be the teacher, so that we can connect with the family." The little official saw that it was Hu Yanzhuo, and he still vaguely recognized him in the cottage, so he sang a big song to the horse. , Said: "My nephew has no one to rely on, and I dare not let myself go with such beauty as my uncle."

Hu Yanzhuo asked his followers to take the box, and went to the mansion together, and said to Gong Ren, "Such a handsome man, he will become a great weapon later." Gong Ren was also happy, so he took a new set of clothes and asked He asked, "How old are you?" He replied, "My nephew is 16 years old, and his name is Xu Sheng." Hu Yanzhuo said, "My child is one year younger, let him become brothers." Father, respect people as mother, Hu Yanyu as brother.Gongren pays the next person in the Yamen and others are called "Second Ministers".Hu Yanzhuo went to the library and talked to Mr. Wen, and they worshiped at the door together.Xu Sheng worshiped him as his teacher and studied military art together since then.Talented and intelligent, very enlightened, and also a humble and mature person, everyone likes him.Xu Sheng asked someone to call his mother, and the things in the house were brought.In spare time, compare strength with Hu Yanyu and test swords on horseback.Hu Yanyu also used double whips.Xu Sheng was originally a golden gun saved by his father, and Hu Yanzhuo came to teach him.In a few days, the two are equally proficient.Hu Yanzhuo praised: "This pair of young men will surely be good assistants to the imperial court in the future." That Gongren fell in love with him.He has a daughter, Xiaozi Yuying, who is 15 years older and has a beautiful appearance. He intends to recruit him as his son-in-law.

In less than a month, Hu Yanzhuo came back from the commander-in-chief's mansion and said: "It's not good, the emperor trusted Wang Fu and Tong Guan, and accepted Jiang Pingzhou's guard Zhang Yu. The Jin people used the defeat of the alliance as a theme to invade south and break Hebei. The prefecture and county will cross the river once. The sage is in danger, and he is thinking about avoiding troops in Haozhou. Li Gang, please pass on the crown prince, and change it to the first year of Jingkang. Tomorrow, troops will be dispatched to the Yellow River to guard the imperial court. The servant Liang Fangping is specially ordered to be the chief supervisor, and he will be in the teaching ground There will be a big battle for the military parade to recruit heroes from all over the world!" Hu Yanyu and Xu Sheng said: "Since the military parade is recruiting, children should go and see it." Hu Yanzhuo said: "This is also possible. Just get up at five drums .”

The next morning, Hu Yanyu and Xu Sheng finished together, grabbed the equipment, and came to the teaching ground with Hu Yanzhuo.I saw thousands of troops and horses, arranged very solemnly, and all the generals and officers were fully dressed and waited on them neatly.At the time of the Chenpai, the envoy Liang Fangping, the family of stone officials in python robes and jade belts will flock here.He fired three cannons and sat on the general platform.There are swordsmen on the left and right, holding up the handsome flag.The Chinese military officer issued an order: "Anyone with superior physical strength, deep knowledge of strategy, proficiency in bow and horse, and outstanding martial arts, no matter whether they have a job or not, they are all allowed to be interviewed. If they have excellent talents, they will not be reused." Three At the end of the drum, the comparison of each battalion and each team shows that the advantages and disadvantages vary.The Chinese military officer also issued an order: "All soldiers and civilians who come to apply for the recruitment must try three things: the first test of strength, there are two iron piers under the platform, and they must be lifted and walked three times; the second test of arrows, two hundred steps away. Make a bid, draw a red heart on the mark, place a coin in the red heart, and shoot three arrows at once, if you want to hit the red heart, if you can win the money, it will be super. The third is to test martial arts." The order was completed, and those who applied to try.The iron pier weighed more than 500 kilograms, which was too much to lift.When I mentioned it a little, I was out of breath after walking a few steps, so I had to put it down.The horse's arrows all hit the red heart, and there is no one in the eyes of money.It's easy to try martial arts.

Hu Yanyu and Xu Sheng looked at it for a long time, and found that none of them was extremely talented, so they boldly walked to the edge of the general platform.Both of them have long hair, wearing tight-fitting embroidered jackets, and their appearance is neat, which attracts everyone's attention.Hu Yanyu and Xu Sheng stood aside, gently lifted the iron pier, walked around the platform three times, put it in the old place, and their faces remained unchanged.All the soldiers applauded.Calling Jia Ding to lead the two horses, Hu Yanyu and Xu Sheng pressed their hands and stepped on them. The horse neighed and galloped away.Two bows and arrows each, like a shooting star, the two arrows were inserted into the eyes of Qian Qian, and the drum beat loudly.Liang Fangping was also happy to see him.After that, all four arrows hit the red heart, surrounded by money in the middle.After shooting the arrows, he dismounted from the saddle, Hu Yanyu held double whips in his hands, Xu Sheng raised his golden spear, circled and stabbed, untied his tendons, without any flaws, many veteran generals applauded endlessly.Liang Fangping was overjoyed. He called the general and asked him his name.Hu Yanzhuo came out from the class on the left, and said respectfully: "Both are the sons of the last general, one is called Hu Yanyu, and the other is called Xu Sheng." He was brave and sent troops to defend the Liyang area at the crossing of the Yellow River with the generals. Many of the recruits were mediocre, but the two sons of the generals were born heroes. Retired soldiers have made meritorious service and are even more prominent." Hu Yanzhuo thanked Hu Yanyu and Xu Sheng and returned to work.Liang Fangping ordered the military and political department to allocate ten famous generals from the imperial battalion, each leading two thousand troops, to guard the flooded areas.Tomorrow morning, the teacher will be sent out, and those who are late will be killed.Who are those ten generals?

Wang Jin, Liu Guangshi, Wang Bao, Yue Fei, Yang Yizhong, Han Shizhong, Hu Yanzhuo, Zhang Jun, Ma Jie, Hu Dingguo.

Among the ten generals and officers, there are several well-known veteran generals, and one of them is a good match.After Liang Fangping finished distributing, he went to reply to the Holy Majesty and resigned from the imperial court to leave the teacher.All the soldiers will go back to cook and go out.

Hu Yanzhuo went home with his two sons, and said to Mr. Wen: "Today, the eunuch Liang was enshrined in the martial arts field to order troops to defend the Yellow River, so he recruited brave men to join the army. There are no outstanding ones; only the two children are brave and good at horseback riding. It is suitable, except for the appointment of Xiaoqi Xiaowei, and I will go out with me. Remember that Jin Guo sent Wubu to attack Hebei. Guarding the flood zone, although there are a few good generals among the ten generals, they may be outnumbered and unable to defend. Once the Jin soldiers have crossed the Yellow River, Tokyo is in danger, and it may not be safe. It doesn't matter if I go with my two sons, but The lowly family members are in Beijing, so don’t worry. Most of the officials in the court have family members returning to their hometowns. I also want to trouble Mr. to ask the servants to follow and send Lao Jing’s daughter back to Runing. There are some low-income families over there, so they can live. But not Dare to move your respect, I wonder if you will?" Wen Huanzhang said: "Chengtai Weng is so elegant, how dare you shirk it! There is nothing wrong in Beijing, and the students have to return to the south, and when they send their treasures to Runing, they also have to look at the little girl. This is convenient." Hu Yanzhuo was overjoyed, and immediately went in and asked Gong to clean up the family's belongings: "I, Mr. Yangwen, will send you to Runing's house. Tomorrow morning, my two sons and I will go from eunuch Liang to the mouth of the Yellow River to defend the golden soldiers. Don't be slow." The respectful man obeyed his order, and set aside the money for the wine.After a whole night of sleepless nights, Wugu hired a car to take Miss Gongren, Wen Huanzhang rode a horse, and the four servants followed. They went out and broke up.

Let me first say that Wen Huanzhang left the capital with his car and could not travel for three days. He saw those people fleeing with their wives and children.It is said that in Ru, Ying, Guang, Huang and other places, there were local bandits who were good at making rebellions. They gathered 50 troops, robbed their children and treasures, murdered and set fire, and it was very rampant. The officers and soldiers watched the wind and disappeared.When Wen Huanzhang heard the news, the boss was alarmed.Get off the horse, go to the side of the car, and say to the Hugong people: "There is a local bandit king who is good at making troubles. Guang, Huang, Ru, and Yingzhou counties are all broken, and the people have fled. Ru Ning has no choice but to go back. Returning to the capital is impossible. .I am on the road now, and I am in a dilemma. What should I do? Xiaosheng's daughter is in Dengzhou, and there are some moral friends who live there, and they are also old acquaintances of the general. Hu Gong said: "I'm a woman, what knowledge do I have? Dengzhou can settle down, but it's up to my husband." Wen Huanzhang ordered the driver to take Dengzhou Road.

After another five or six days, I arrived at the foot of Dengyun Mountain and sent my messenger to report.An Daoquan, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, and Mu Chunqi came to meet him, and went to the Juyi Hall to pay their respects.An Daoquan and others thanked each other and asked, "How is the matter in Tokyo?" Wen Huanzhang said: "My matter is small, and I have been disbanded. The Jin people who suffered from it were defeated and defeated Hebei and Hedong. In the first year, Liang Fangping, the servant, led ten famous generals to guard the ferry of the Yellow River, and Hu Yanzhuo was also among the ten. He was afraid that his family members would be lost in Beijing, so he asked me to send them back to Runing. Unexpectedly, the local bandit Wang Shan was making trouble there, and he could not go back, so he went with him. Hu Gongren and Miss come to live here." The leaders said: "That's right." Mrs. Gu invited Gongren and Miss to Houzhai to meet Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Jin and Miss Wen.Take in the small and soft family assets and send the coachman back.It goes without saying that Wen Huanzhang and his son reunited.A large banquet, internal and external hospitality.Mu Chunjiang met a scorched-faced ghost in the store and uttered big words. The next morning, he followed him to the ancient temple to kill him, threw him into a dry well and said it.Wen Huanzhang said: "It's rare for Brother Mu to do such a quick thing, and the original head of the strange way will never come again." They broke up happily that night.It's exactly: the imperial court is in turmoil, it's hard to sit still, and friends are happy to meet and talk about their hearts.I don't know how Hu Yanzhuo's expedition is going to be, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.

It's really pitiful that Xu Sheng was able to guard the geese feather armor of his ancestors, but Emperor Yuansheng couldn't protect the world of his ancestors
