The dream of a lonely hero

The King of Jin was extremely anxious at this time. Mingran, who had attacked the Sawtooth Peak, had only 500 soldiers. How long could he hold out in the tiger's den? If he couldn't hold out, the Song army below the mountain would not be able to attack, and everything would be in vain. He was determined to win. He ordered "Zhanwen Daoke" Liaoran, "Iron Winged Cloud Peng" Li Qi, "Lingbei Whale Peng" Pei Jing and Hui Guang to rush to support Geng Quanbin, Li Chong, and Yang Jiong who were attacking the city. Hui Guang, Liaoran, Li Qi, and Pei Jing were all martial arts masters with unique skills. They used their skills of flying on land to come to the pass from time to time, and jumped onto the cloud ladder to fly to the enemy building. The orange-clothed Ani Yang Mei rushed over with a sword, and the flames of the sword danced, and the lightning shot at Hui Guang, Liaoran, Li Qi, and Pei Jing. The defending general Gao Jing waved his double halberds, and Dai Sheng held his double guns to help. Yang Mei's swordsmanship was superb, and she killed "Iron Winged Cloud Peng" Li Qi in seven or eight moves. "Lingbei Whale Peng" Pei Jing was also killed by Gao Jing and Dai Sheng. Song generals Geng Quanbin, Li Chong, and Yang Jiong also rushed to the enemy tower, and Gao Jing and Dai Sheng hurried to fight.

"Double Swords" Hui Guang's "Shahai Chaoyong" swordsmanship was fierce and strange, and the sword was fierce. One move "Sea Water Flying" was enough to resist Yang Mei's Tengxiao swordsmanship. Liao Ran and Yang Jiong's two swords came to attack again. After a long fight, Yang Mei was exhausted after fighting one against three. In contrast, Hui Guang, Liao Ran, and Yang Jiong were fresh troops waiting for the opportunity to tire themselves out. They died in more than ten rounds of fighting. Gao Jing and Dai Sheng were also captured alive by Geng Quanbin, Li Chong and their soldiers. Seeing that Tianlang Pass was broken, the King of Jin ordered the rear team of Song troops to swarm up.

After taking Tianlang Pass, the Song army, under the guidance of a guide, went straight to the second pass, Langkou Pass. When the Song army arrived at the second pass, Langkou Pass, the soldiers led by Mingran who came up from the back mountain, and the Golden Spear Society's military advisor Cheng Xu, Xiangzhu Xun Yi, and Kuizhu Assistant Jia Xuan, who were acting as insiders, led their confidants wrapped in white turbans and dressed as the confidants of the Song army, and joined forces to attack the third pass, Langya Pass, beating gongs and drums, shouting and killing. The situation of a pincer attack from both inside and outside Langkou Pass was about to take shape, and the Golden Spear Society's minions had no fighting spirit. Seeing this, the main general guarding the pass, Huang Yi Ani Cai Zheng, was extremely anxious.

The yellow-clothed Ani Cai Zheng saw the drums of the Song army thundering, the cannons blazing, the flags waving and the voices of the people, and the flames of the Song soldiers were like a tide. Looking back at the third pass, Langya Pass, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the whole Tianlang Mountain was red from top to bottom. Knowing that the situation was over, she looked at the panicked minions in front of her and said loudly: "Disciples, listen to my order! The Tianlang Mountain Golden Spear Society is doomed now. I once swore to the "Sword Immortal" Sun Kuizhu that I would "live and die with Langshan". Now that Langya Pass is about to be broken, I have no choice but to die! I can't bear you to make any more meaningless resistance. After I die, you can raise the flag of surrender to avoid the disaster of killing." After saying this, he cut his throat with a sword. The deputy generals guarding the pass, "Flying Tiger" Bao Zhao and "Flying Mountain Leopard" Liu Hao, led the 1,000 disciples of the fourth flag to kneel and cry, and then raised the flag of surrender. The Song army entered Langkou Pass without bloodshed. Soon, the King of Jin led his generals to the enemy tower of Langkou Pass and saw the body of the yellow-robed Ani Cai Zheng standing upright. The King of Jin was shocked and respectful. After asking about the situation, he bowed deeply to the body of the yellow-robed Ani Cai Zheng and said, "Ani Cai Zheng is the reincarnation of a bodhisattva! She sacrificed her life to save the thousand Golden Spear Society disciples from being killed. How respectable! Please accept my respect!" After placing the body of Ani Cai Zheng, "Hurlong"

"Fell down. The King of Jin ordered the soldiers to select a good coffin for burial.

At this time, the third pass, Langya Pass, had been breached by the Song army led by Mingran, Wang Lie and Cheng Xu, and the followers of the Golden Spear Society at Langya Pass, and the green-clothed Ani Tian Yu, "Tashanhu" Anba and the 1,000 disciples of the fifth flag were all killed in the battle. From the fourth watch of the night to the next day (09:00), after four hours of bloody battles, the King of Jin's army completely broke through Tianlang Mountain, and took the Fuyuntai Golden Spear Pavilion as the commander's tent, and ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up and the people to be reassured. At Youshi (17:00), the Sima of the Royal Palace Chai Yuxi counted the soldiers and reported to the King of Jin that 2,000 Song soldiers were killed in the battle, and the lives of "Iron Winged Cloud Peng" Li Qi, "Lingbei Whale Peng" Pei Jing, "You The fourth of the "Eight Cloud Ghosts" Zhao Yinping, the second Suo Yinxiong, and the sixth Chi Yinbiao were killed in battle; more than 7,000 Tianlang Mountain minions died in battle, the leaders of the Golden Spear Society, "Flying Tiger" Bao Zhao and "Flying Mountain Leopard" Liu Hao surrendered, "Double Halberd Yaksha" Gao Jing and "Double Spear Wanderer" Dai Sheng were captured. The King of Jin personally untied Gao Jing and Dai Sheng and comforted them with kind words, and then Gao Jing and Dai Sheng surrendered to the King of Jin.

The King of Jin ordered to reward the soldiers of the three armies and provide relief to the wounded and dead soldiers. The Golden Spear Society's military advisor Cheng Xu, the prime minister Xun Yi, and the assistant of the leader Jia Xuan, who acted as internal support, came to offer the household registration, books, and money and grain of the soldiers and civilians. The King of Jin smiled and took Cheng Xu's hand, saying: "The elimination of the Tianlang Mountain bandits is all due to the merits of Mr. Cheng, Mr. Xun, and Mr. Jia!" and invited him to take a seat.

Cheng Xu said: "Your Highness is too kind! How dare I take credit for the work of heaven? First, Your Highness is blessed with great fortune, and second, Your Highness is a man of great strategy and good tactics, and can win battles thousands of miles away! "

The King of Jin laughed loudly: "Sir, you are too modest! The 'Three Commoners of Dingzhou' are talented and wise, and they are proficient in the Six Strategies and Three Strategies. Their reputation is well-deserved! Today, I have three wise men, just like fish in water!"

Liu Qi was very jealous, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Congratulations, Your Highness! With the help of three wise men, what worries will there be in the future? Can I ask Mr. Cheng for advice?"

The King of Jin looked at Cheng Xu.

Cheng Xu said: "Please speak frankly, Lord Liu."

Liu Qi said: "It is inevitable that there will be a mistake in a hundred precautions. This mistake may put the King of Jin in a dangerous situation! ” With a smug look on his face, he said calmly, “Lord Liu must be talking about the nearly 100,000 Golden Spear Society members in Xima Mountain. I did not tell King Jin about them beforehand because they are not worth worrying about.” Liu Qi’s eyes widened and he said, “What a ‘not worth worrying about’! If these 100,000 people return to Tianlang Mountain to help, not counting the bandits in Tianlang Mountain, how can King Jin’s 50,000 troops resist them? Going all out, relying on luck! Isn’t this gambling with King Jin?” Cheng Xu said, “Lord Liu is exaggerating! The nearly 100,000 Golden Spear Society members in Xima Mountain cannot return to help at all. The King of Jin was stationed in Dingzhou with the intention of annihilating Tianlang Mountain. Before he could mobilize his troops, the spies of the foreign countries had already reported it to the leader of the foreign countries, Yelu Wurong. The foreign countries and the Golden Spear Society had a grudge against each other for killing their leader, so how could they let go of this opportunity? Yelu Wurong would definitely mobilize all his troops to march south. Xima Mountain was the first obstacle in their way. Once the Golden Spear Society was entangled by Yelu Wurong of the foreign countries, they would have no chance of escaping. If they gave up the dangerous Xima Mountain to rush to the aid of Tianlang Mountain, they would be chased within ten miles.Human meat patties under the lightning-fast foreign cavalry."

Jia Xuan added: "The Xima Mountain Golden Spear Society are all infantry."

This has always been the question of King Jin, and now it has finally been resolved.

Liu Qi said: "What if - what if it is not as Cheng Xu thought?"

King Jin laughed and said: "If I miscalculated, I would not be Mr. Cheng Xu!"

Xun Yi was ashamed and kept silent, feeling depressed and upset about his betrayal of the Golden Spear Society.

King Jin saw that he was worried and said: "Mr. Xun Yi! He and Cheng Xu and Jia Xuan are all meritorious officials who wiped out the bandits in Tianlang Mountain. I can submit a memorial to the court, and promotion and generous rewards are inevitable. Sir, just wait for good news!"

Xun Yi said: "Your Highness! I am not sad about the court's reward. I was a rebel of the Golden Spear Society, and now I am the guest of honor of Your Highness. I am ashamed. "

Jia Xuan was horrified and winked at him, but he ignored him.

King Jin pondered and said, "Mr. Xun Yi is a scholar with rich knowledge of history and modern times. In which dynasty did the people allow private armed forces? The Golden Spear Society did make some achievements in resisting foreign humiliation, protecting the country and the people, and helping the weak. But what happened later? How many Golden Spear Society minions took advantage of their power to bully the weak, robbed homes and committed all kinds of evil. The Golden Spear Society fell into such a situation entirely because of its own fault! Sir, please don't be upset."

Jia Xuan stepped forward and saluted, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness is kind and respectful! A handsome bird climbs a high branch and a wise man protects a wise master. We are willing to give advice to Your Highness and serve you like dogs and horses! ”

Xun Yi bowed deeply to the King of Jin and said, "I am willing to sacrifice my life for the country and the people to repay your kindness!"

The King of Jin was slightly displeased, but immediately adjusted his facial expression and said with a smile, "From now on, I will rely on you gentlemen! ”

The subtle expression of the King of Jin was caught by Xun Yi. Xun Yi wondered: Is the King of Jin selecting talents for the country or recruiting followers?

In the battle of Tianlang Mountain, the King of Jin seized a lot of money, food, clothes, armor, helmets and swords. He ordered the slaughter of cattle and horses, held a banquet, and rewarded the soldiers of the three armies. He celebrated for ten days in a row. On this day, the King of Jin went up to the tent, and the civil and military officials were divided into two wings. The officer of the middle army came to report that Yan Yun, Yuan Da and Yang Mao wanted to see him. The King of Jin summoned them immediately. Yan Yun looked depressed, Yuan Da looked panicked, and Yang Mao was complacent. The three of them had finished their meeting. The King of Jin was full of energy and walked down from the commander's seat, smiling: "'Fei Yan' (Yan Yun's nickname), you are the first hero of the bloodbath in Tianlang Mountain! Offer the head of the thief leader Wu Tianzhen!"

Yang Mao couldn't wait and said: "Report to Your Highness! The Yanyun traitor let the thief leader Wu Tianzhen go! ”

The King of Jin quickly frowned and said, “Yan Yun! Is what Yang Mao said true?”

Yan Yun knelt down and said, “One life for another. Wu Tianzhen was let go by a minor official. Your Highness, please make your decision.”

The King of Jin was furious, his face was green with anger, and he shouted, “Boo! How dare Yan Yun disobey my military order and release the bandit leader Wu Tianzhen privately! Someone, drag Yan Yun out and behead him in public!”

How did Yan Yun let his master Wu Tianzhen go? It is said that Yan Yun, Yuan Da, and Yang Mao received the military order from the King of Jin and led 500 infantrymen to ambush at Yanmen Road in the back mountain of Tianlang Mountain and wait for Wu Tianzhen to pass by..

After Wu Tianzhen was released by Leng Tiekun, the "Northern Sword", at Guanyuntai, he led his exhausted and wounded apprentice Meng Yanchang and hundreds of his followers, and went down the Langya Falls from the back mountain, passed Wulipo, passed the White Ape Trail, crossed the dense forest and climbed the dangerous ridges, waded through the mountains and rivers, slept in the wind and rain, and limped all the way to Yanmen Road three days later. The terrain of Yanmen Road is extremely dangerous, with two mountains sandwiched between it and cliffs on both sides of the road. Seeing the dangerous terrain, Wu Tianzhen ordered his followers to pass quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, a cannon sounded, and Yan Yun, Yuan Da, and Yang Mao led 500 Song soldiers to rush out and block the road. Yang Mao said, "Hey! You idiot Wu Tianzhen, give me your life!"

Wu Tianzhen thought Yang Mao looked familiar, and after thinking for a moment, he remembered that this was Shang Quan, the second son of the great hero Shang Yuanzhong, "Iron Crutch Li". He said angrily, "Shang Quan, you beast! Shang Yuanzhong is such a hero, but he gave birth to a beast like you, who is an accomplice to the tiger. If you are not afraid of death, come!"

Yang Mao was most afraid that others would know that he had a relationship with the bandit leader of Tianlang Mountain. He said angrily, "Bah! You are still trying to make connections when you are about to die. I am Yang Mao Yang Cizheng. Soldiers, kill the bandit leader Wu Tianzhen quickly! The King of Jin will reward anyone who kills Wu Tianzhen."

None of the Song army soldiers moved, because the commander was Yan Yun. Yang Mao looked at Yan Yun and said hurriedly: "Yan Yun, what are you waiting for! Hurry up and give the order!"

Yan Yun looked at Wu Tianzhen, whose bloodstained battle robe was covered with wounds and dirt, holding a stick in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, with two arrow-like eyes shooting at him; this was his mentor, without him, there would be no him who could fly over eaves and walk on walls and had high martial arts skills in the future, and there would be no him today; as long as he gave an order, his master Wu Tianzhen, who had no fighting ability, his junior brother Meng Yanchang, and hundreds of seriously injured minions would be dead all over the ground. Hundreds of seriously injured minions stared at Yan Yun's lips, and as long as his lips opened slightly, his life would come to an end. Yuan Da knew that Yan Yun was in a state of confusion and it was difficult to give the order to kill him, but if he didn't give the order, would he really let his master go? Since he couldn't report to the King of Jin, he approached him and whispered, "Don't be embarrassed, Seventh Brother! You hide, let me, Eighth Brother, give this order." Yan Yun's eyes were full of bloodshot, staring at him blankly, thousands of words were in this look. Yuan Da was frightened by his stare, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Wu Tianzhen sneered, "Yan Yun, you evil beast! If you hadn't come to my Tianlang Mountain and colluded with Xiao Daili, my Tianlang Mountain Golden Spear Club wouldn't have suffered today's disaster. It's a pity that tens of thousands of heroes in my Golden Spear Club have suffered from me. I, Yan Yun, will never forgive you!"

Yan Yun stood upright like a clay sculpture or a wooden carving, and everything in front of him seemed to be frozen.

Meng Yanchang walked out from behind Wu Tianzhen and said, "Brother Yan! Once a teacher, always a father. How can you be a human being if you do such a treasonous thing? Please raise your hands and let Master go. Meng Yanchang will also ask you to give an explanation. Take Meng Yanchang's head."

Wu Tianzhen said angrily, "Evil disciple Meng Yanchang! I would rather die standing than live on my knees, and I will not ask you to die for me! Come on, Yanyun, see if the skills I taught you have improved, and whether you can take the head of Lao Niubizi!"

Yanyun stepped back, knelt down and saluted Wu Tianzhen, saying, "Disciple,Yan Yun greets the master, and accepts the disciple's greetings!" He stood up suddenly and said to the soldiers behind him, "Make way, please let my master and junior brother Meng Yanchang pass."

Yang Mao hurriedly blocked the way and roared, "Yan Yun is a traitor! You want to rebel, and you dare to release the leader of the Golden Spear Society privately! Soldiers, quickly take Yan Yun down!"

Yan Yun said sternly, "Yang Mao is a scoundrel! Don't forget that Yan Yun is the chief general of the Jin Wang faction, come and tie up Yang Mao!"

The soldiers of the Song army were in a difficult situation. Yan Yun and Yang Mao were both favorites of the Jin Wang, and no one could afford to offend them. They looked at each other and dared not to take action. Yuan Da said, "You are all fucking cowards!" He stepped forward and punched Yang Mao, "If you don't obey the military orders of Captain Yan, it's not the minions of the Golden Spear Society who will die!"

Yan Yun said to the soldiers, "Don't be afraid, Yan Yun will take responsibility! "Several brave soldiers from the Song army came and tied up Yang Mao and dragged him to the side of the road.

Meng Yanchang supported his master Wu Tianzhen and said, "Master! Brother let us go." Wu Tianzhen pushed him away and said to Yan Yun, "Yan Yun, if you don't kill me today, I will take your dog life in the future! It's better to make a break now."

Yan Yun did not answer him and ordered the soldiers to get out of the way. Meng Yanchang supported his master Wu Tianzhen and limped away. A hundred minions followed him and just walked a few steps. Yuan Da suddenly said, "Toot! Captain Yan only let Wu Tianzhen and Meng Yanchang go, where are you going!" The minions were so scared that they trembled and fell to the ground.

Yan Yun said, "Yuan Da, don't embarrass them anymore!"

Meng Yanchang, Wu Tianzhen, and the minions took staggering steps. Suddenly, a shout came from behind, "Hey! Don't let Wu Tianzhen go! Yan Feng is coming! "

It turned out that Yan Feng heard from Leng Tiekun that Wu Tianzhen fell off the cliff and didn't know whether he was alive or dead. He was determined to make the first contribution, so he came down from the back mountain. As he walked, he found traces of the Golden Spear Society's minions escaping, so he chased them all the way to Yanmen Road. The situation was clear, and Yan Yun wanted to release Wu Tianzhen and others privately. Wu Tianzhen and others stopped when they heard someone shouting.

Yan Yun drew out the Qinglong Sword and rushed to block Yan Feng. Yan Feng looked at him and said, "Captain Yan, are you going to rebel!"

Yan Yun said, "I am the chief general sent by King Jin. Do I need to ask the brigade commander of Yanhou Mansion for instructions on what to do? "

Yan Feng was shocked. Yan Yun's words made some sense. He was the confidant of King Jin. He was just a minor official in the Yanhou Mansion and had not received King Jin's order to hunt down Wu Tianzhen. But - but he would never let Wu Tianzhen go on King Jin's orders. He said: "Yan Yun, don't use the tiger's skin as a banner. I don't need to tell you the consequences of disobeying King Jin's order! King Jin treats you well. How can you live up to King Jin's high hopes for you by doing this!"

Yan Yun's heart was pierced by a knife. King Jin had a grace to regenerate him. After a moment of silence, he said: "I - I will apologize to King Jin!"

Yan Feng thought he was moved and said: "For the sake of our acquaintance, Yan Feng will bear the crime of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors for you!" He waved the Golden Snake Sword and went straight for Wu Tianzhen. Yan Yun beat the sword to intercept and said, "Meng Yanchang, why don't you help the master go quickly! "Meng Yanchang hurriedly dragged Wu Tianzhen away, and the minions quickly got up and followed closely..
