No.30 Six times of reciting the scriptures and intelligently capturing the double generals to watch the car and water skillfully build the ship (1)
Speaking of Yang Yao and others, Jiuquling captured the Taiwei alive, Wuchang rescued Ma Yu, and got the bones and two brothers. They were very happy.Then they pulled out all the strongholds and looked at Fuxiongpu.

Let's talk about this He Yunlong, after seeing Yang Yao and his brothers go that day, he distributed the boats and arranged them like geese.One afternoon, standing on the bow of the boat, I suddenly saw a flower that seemed to be air but not air, or cloud and not cloud, coiling in the air, and it would not disperse for a long time.He Yunlong saw it clearly and was very pleasantly surprised.In the evening, he called fifty soldiers and said, "You go ashore today and lie in ambush in the grass near the left. At three o'clock, when you see two people killing me on board, go and drive away the soldiers. Mistake!" Everyone was ordered to leave.Then he ordered all the boats to get on board, and then he pulled up a big lamp on the Chinese army flag; connected two broad boards to the shore so that he could walk and jump on board; opened the cabin door, and removed all the window panels on all sides.He also called several military academies to order him to lie down in the bow of the ship, while two young men were making tea in the cabin, and the lights in the cabin were all lit up brilliantly.He took out a yellow cloth bundle from the cage and put it on the table; he took out a golden incense burner shaped like a beast's head, lit good incense, and put it in front of him; he untied the sword around his waist and put it on the desk.Then he sat down, opened the yellow burden, took out a volume of books, which turned out to be a volume of Huang Ting's Dao De Zhen Jing, and began to recite aloud.After reciting, repeat it again.When it was about three o'clock in the recitation, two people really came.

These two are the two generals who were dismissed by He Taiwei: one is named Leopard Liulin, who used to use a muddy iron lance, and he was in Jingzhou. The lion-headed Lao Jie, with brows like sword sweeps, uses a Yanling sword to guard the throat of Xishu in Yunyang, and its power is far away.Both of them were conscripted by Taiwei He, so they had to leave their posts and follow the conscript.When the two met, they were very speculative, and each loved and respected each other.Seeing that Taiwei He marched without any plan, the two attempts were rejected, and the two were angry.This day, I saw He Taiwei summoning soldiers to chase Yang Yao. The two of them didn't listen to the greeting. Seeing that they were chasing into the ridge, they discussed burning the thief boat and cutting off their way back.Then each took his headquarters and looked at Fuxiongpu.Seeing that the sun was still early, they hid in the mountains and forests, and at night they sent people to inquire first, and ordered the soldiers to bury pots and make rice, and each order had a full meal.

After waiting deeper, a report came, reporting: "The thief ship is completely unprepared, everyone is asleep, and only one thief is reading military books under the light in the cabin." After hearing this, the two asked, "There is more drumming on the thief ship." Can you fight clearly?" The detective said: "There is no one patrolling." After hearing this, the two hesitated secretly: "Could it be a fraud?" Because they sent people to find out if there were any ambushes.After a while, he came back and reported that there was no ambush.After hearing this, the two thought about it secretly.Liu Lin said: "A group of thieves, what kind of resource do you think he has? Just kill them together and burn them on the boat, and you will succeed." Lao Jie said: "No, no. Are these ships here without a leader to guard them? Could it be possible to inquire? Is it true? Why don't we two go to see it quietly. If it is true, then call and kill before it is too late." Then he ordered to get up.

Half a mile away from the ship, he asked the sergeant to live in the place and listen to the secret signal to kill.The two of them came to take a peek, and saw the dark shadows, the boats under the lake were like ants, but it was quiet, so they didn't take precautions.Because he was secretly happy, he went to the lighted boat again.I could only hear the voice loud and clear; when I got closer, I saw a big flag under the lamp with the word "handsome" of the Chinese army written on it.He came closer and looked into the cabin, only to see a thief head, with a brave turban and sleeves, with a dignified appearance, chanting something under the lamp, and saw the boat jumping directly to the shore.Lao Jie said quietly: "This thief is dead! You know that there is no one in the army!" Liu Lin said: "He is dead now, dare to read the disaster relief scriptures there? Just get on the boat, kill the thief, and set it on fire." , so there is no mastermind." After blowing a whistle, they all jumped onto the boat, rushed straight into the cabin, raised their knives and slashed at the head.Unexpectedly, they couldn't get in, so the two hurriedly looked up, backed away in fright, and hurried out of the cabin.I only heard shouts from the cabin: "Golden Armored God, quickly take these two thieves and send them to the underworld for questioning!"

The two were very flustered when they heard this, and wanted to run away to the shore, but panicked, they kicked the wrong foot unexpectedly, they both turned their heads and fell into the bow of the boat.I heard a cry earlier: "Receive the decree!" It was tied up in an instant and locked tightly in the bow.It turned out that when Liu Lin and Lao Jie used their knives to chop, they saw a golden armored general standing in the air, holding the knife in their hands, and they were very panicked and ran out of the cabin; Feeling flustered, hands and feet trembled, I felt my eyes go dark, and I fell into the bow of the boat.Suspecting that God will take it, she was so frightened that she fainted and couldn't even breathe, so she let him bind her.This is He Yunlong's way of capturing two generals.He asked someone to lie down in the bow of the boat first, and when he saw the two people entering the cabin, he quietly removed the plank of the boat, so he fell down.The soldiers on the shore have dispersed the soldiers, and all the lights on the boats are still... (two sides of the original book are missing)
Yang Yao looked at the boats in front and behind alone, only looking at these water schools with oars and oars, because he asked: "Why don't you hang the sails today?" Yaodao: "The wind is not very strong today. What kind of wind is the wind?" The water school said: "We must get the north wind when we go south. The water in this lake comes from the south of Xianghan, Miluo, and Bashu. Today Although the wind is not strong, it is a southerly wind, and the water is reversed, and the front and rear oars are exerting [-]% force, so they are not moving fast."

Yang Yao nodded after hearing this, and then came to talk and laugh with the brothers.Ma Yan just stared blankly and sat angrily.Yang Yao hurriedly asked, "Brother, what's on your mind?" Ma Yu said in a bad mood, "Wu jumped to catch up with my brother that day, and his legs were weirdly straight, but he was dry-skinned. Just dozed, like a prison bird house. Just jumping on the old immortal cow's back in a clear and clean place, hiding like a bird, slow and boring!" All the brothers laughed together when they heard this.Yang Yaodao: "No wonder Ma Yan saw the boat going slowly and stuffy, even I was not very happy. After one more day, I will go to the village."

I saw Cen use Qiji to go to the back boat, and after a while he rowed out a small boat, from the bow of the boat, so that the small boat walked like flying on the water.All the brothers applauded in unison.Seeing the horse, he was so happy that he fell down and shouted: "good brother, take the horse to play, it's not boring!"Before getting close, the horse became irritable and jumped straight down.At one moment, the boat was heavy and the boat was small. When the boat was turned over, the horse fell into the water.Cen turned the boat over in a hurry.When Yang Yao and all the brothers saw it, they hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and save the horse!" Ke Bing and Tong Liang all jumped into the water, and Cen Yongqi also jumped into the lake.For a moment, all three of them dived into the bottom of the water to search for rescue. They saw that the horse was far away, so they came up.The three rushed to the boat, dragged it close to the big boat, and lifted it out of the water.All the brothers dragged them onto the boat with their hands, but the horse just stood up and vomited water.

All the brothers laughed at him and said, "You said you were bored before, but now you spit out some sullen air!" Yang Yao said: "He is heavy and small, so how can you laugh at him?" He hurriedly took out his clothes and changed with him.While changing his clothes, Ma Yan said: "It's good brother. Don't look at the skin, at least you will be beaten with a knife. If you don't make noise, you will get rid of the bird, and you will come to bite like a worm!" Seeing his speech, everyone hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Don't be ridiculous. I'm offering you three bowls of cold wine to apologize today." Ma Yan laughed and said, "It's really cold. Put it in the cabin, so that he will be so cold!" The brothers went to fetch the wine and chopped it up. For meat, arrange the noodles on the boat for a while, and everyone eats together.

After eating for a while, I saw that the front and back ships and the ship all hung up their sails. For a while, the ships were in the water, only walking with the whirring sound of water.Sometimes when you walk to the east, you will see trees, houses, city walls and roads; sometimes when you go to the west, you will see the sky and water connected, the sun and moon shadows haunting it.Ma Yan only calls Zaopi happy, and eats a big bowl of cold wine for a price.Yang Yao and all the brothers also feel happy.Yang Yao looked at the ships in front and behind alone again, and suddenly asked the water school: "It's so smooth, why don't you go straight, but go sideways, don't you go far?" It is the cross wind, so the wind will come up to the canopy when the things are folded away. Although it is a long and tortuous road, it saves effort."

Yang Yao listened and nodded.I chatted with my brothers for a while, because I said to Yuan Wu and He Yunlong: "We have never fought on land. If you have great skills, you need a good horse to match you. Therefore, Guan Gong has the red rabbit, Xiang Yu has the black cockroach, and both men and horses are strong. You must be invincible vertically and horizontally. If you want to march on the water, you must rely on boats. If you must be fast, you can chase lightning, and if you are fast, you can catch the shadow of the wind. Looking at these ships today, they are fast when encountering wind, and slow when there is no wind. It is very difficult. If you encounter the enemy, you must cut the banner of the general, rob the camp secretly, and chase the front. I chase people and they are easy to capture, and people attack me but they are difficult to approach. People use boats to be powerful, and boats are famous for people Only then can we be invincible vertically and horizontally. Now I, Yang Yao, occupy this Dongting Lake, and the surrounding area is vast, with a distance of more than [-] li. If boats are not convenient, how can we win people? Yuan Wu has many wisdoms, and clouds and dragons have many methods. Quick, is there anything to argue about?" The two listened, each silent for a while, and Fang said at the same time: "Brother really has a heart. The two of us can't think of a good deal for a while." Yang Yao then stopped asking.
