The dream of a lonely hero

Cheng Xu said: "When the King of Jin recruits talented people, there must be strong enemies around. We will not abandon the dogs after the rabbit has died. But the merits have passed. No matter how wise the master is, he will resent his subordinates for talking about the past merits. No matter how great the past merits were, the use value they had has long become the past, and the past is no longer valuable. If subordinates do not understand this, they will be abandoned by the master sooner or later. At that time, Brother Xun insisted on advising the King of Jin not to attack the Evil Tiger Mountain for the time being, but I persuaded him hard."

Jia Xuan said: "Second brother's words are really profound!" He said to Xun Yi, "Brother, what do you think?"

Xun Yi disagreed and said: "Xun Mou only knows a certain country, but not a certain person. He is not as good as my second brother."

Cheng Xu said: "Big brother has both virtue and talent, and my second brother is not as good as him. But he does not plan Why should I be in a certain country? Only when I am safe can I be safe in the country. Chao Cuo, the teacher of Emperor Jing of Han, was good at a certain country but not good at a certain person. In the end, he was killed and his head was separated. The princes of the seven countries joined forces to rebel, causing the Han Dynasty to be in chaos and the people to live in misery. We can learn from the past! "

Xun Yi said: "If everyone only knows that I am only for personal gain and does not care about things that do not concern me, how long will it take for the country to change? "

Jia Xuan said: "My two brothers! A gentleman plans for the country and a wise man plans for himself. Those who plan for the country first worry about the world, and those who plan for themselves first benefit themselves. A gentleman's plan is far-reaching, and a wise man's plan is deep. Worrying about the world and benefiting oneself are not contradictory. Brother Xun argues for right and wrong, and Brother Cheng argues for gains and losses. Everyone has their own ambitions, so why force them! "

While they were talking, Wang Yan, the attendant of King Jin, received the oral order of King Jin to summon Cheng Xu, Xun Yi, and Jia Xuan. Cheng Xu, Xun Yi, and Jia Xuan followed Wang Yan to see the King of Jin.

Cheng Xu, Xun Yi, and Jia Xuan met the King of Jin and bowed. The King of Jin asked them to sit down and said, "Yang Chongsu of Ehushan is a fierce bandit. How can we eliminate the bandits of Ehushan? You can know the birdsong near the mountains and the nature of fish near the water. Please make plans for me, gentlemen."

Cheng Xu, Xun Yi, and Jia Xuan thought for a moment. In fact, the three of them had already considered that if the King of Jin was defeated in Ehushan, he would definitely ask them for advice, but they still had to pretend to be thoughtful.

Cheng Xu said: "Ehu Mountain and Tianlang Mountain are combined to form the Nine-Turn Eight-Turn Tiger Wolf Sawtooth Mountain. The geographical danger of Ehu Mountain is no less than that of Tianlang Mountain, and there is no internal support. If we attack it by force, it may not be worth the loss."

King Jin said: "I would like to hear your advice!"

Cheng Xu said: "The brave are not as good as the wise, the force is not as good as the strategy, and the attack is not as good as the lure."

King Jin said: "I would like to hear the details."

Cheng Xu said the strategy of defeating the enemy without fighting on Ehu Mountain. King Jin thought for a long time and said, "Can we really flatten Evil Tiger Mountain within three days?"

Cheng Xu said, "War is fought for silver. Instead of using silver to support soldiers for attack and defense, it is better to use silver to directly attack bandits, so as not to cause casualties. As long as enough silver is transported to the camp tomorrow, we will definitely flatten Evil Tiger Mountain within three days and capture Yang Chongsu alive."

On this day, Yang Chongsu of Evil Tiger Mountain, the Golden Spear Society, heard that the envoys of King Jin, Yang Mao and Mi Chao, were visiting, and met them in the Juyi Hall of Evil Tiger Mountain. Yang Mao said a lot of flattering words to him, conveying the will of King Jin, which meant that King Jin and Yang Chongsu should make peace., all the expenses of the Ehushan stronghold, including food, would be provided by Dingzhou, on the condition that Ehushan would not harass the surrounding counties and defend against foreign invasions. The King of Jin held a banquet at Zishipo and invited Yang Chongsu to the banquet. Yang Chongsu discussed with Zhao Ming, the assistant of the Fangzhu. Zhao Ming meant that although Ehushan had won for a while, it was not a long-term solution to fight against a country with one corner, so it was better to quit. Yang Chongsu accepted his suggestion, but he had to bring 150 disciples of the Golden Spear Club to the banquet. Yang Mao and Mi Chao returned to the Song army camp at Zishipo to convey the request to the King of Jin, who agreed to Yang Chongsu's request.

Early the next morning, Yang Chongsu, Zhao Ming, and the leaders of Ehushan led 150 minions to the banquet set up by the King of Jin at Zishipo. The banquet was the same distance from Ehushan and the Song army camp. The King of Jin, with his civil and military officials, welcomed Yang Chongsu and his party without helmets and armor. Seeing that the King of Jin was quite sincere, Yang Chongsu also ordered his subordinates to take off their military uniforms. The King of Jin was still frightened when he saw Yang Chongsu shivering all over. He almost lost his life a few days ago, and he wanted to eat him alive. It was a great shame for a dignified prince of the Song Dynasty to shake hands and talk with such a devil! But for the sake of the great plan, he had to pretend to be kind and friendly, smiling and said, "Shao Linggong (Yang Chongsu's father Yang Liulang Yang Guangji was appointed as the Duke of Song) is a martial arts master! How can Shi Wansui of the Sui Dynasty compare with Shao Linggong? Even the reincarnation of the King of Chu and the reincarnation of King Ran Tian could not compare with him! Haha!" He took his hand and sat down. Yang Chongsu laughed happily and sat down. Chai Yuxi, a subordinate of the King of Jin, said: "Young Master, it's as easy as taking a general's head from a cavalry of thousands of horses. You are truly invincible and unparalleled!" Yang Chongsu laughed triumphantly and said: "Haha! I'm not bragging. As long as I stay in Ehushan for one day, I will discipline the foreign slaves and make them never return. Baoding Prefecture will be as stable as Mount Tai!" Chai Yuxi flattered: "Young Master is a man of both civil and military talents! As long as the flying general of Longcheng is here, I won't let the Hu horses cross Yinshan!" Although the banquet did not have any delicacies from mountains and seas, it was very rich. There were all kinds of dishes and fruits such as beef, mutton, horse, chicken, duck, goose, meat, and wine. It was a mountain of meat and a sea of ​​wine. Then everyone toasted and drank. The King of Jin's subordinates praised Yang Chongsu's superior martial arts one after another, and toasted him one after another. Yang Chongsu seemed to have fallen into Yunwu and was in a trance. The minions led by Yang Chongsu in Ehushan had never seen such a scene before, and they swallowed them like wolves and drank like whales. The banquet lasted from morning till late at night.

Yang Chongsu led his followers, who were well fed and drunk, back to Ehushan with lanterns and torches. The mountain stronghold was dark and empty, and he was shocked. He thought: How come the thousands of followers in the mountain stronghold disappeared after one day? If the King of Jin turned against him and attacked the mountain quickly, his hundreds of followers would have nowhere to hide!

It turned out that Yang Chongsu led hundreds of followers to the banquet at Zishipo. The King of Jin sent Liu Qi to lead a thousand soldiers and drive hundreds of carriages, which were full of money brought from Tianlang Mountain and Dingzhou, to the foot of Ehushan to ring the gong and shout to buy the weapons of the followers on the mountain. One weapon cost one thousand coins. The followers took the weapons they could carry and went down the mountain to sell them. After selling the weapons, they took the money and happily went their separate ways. Those who had a home went home, and those who didn't have a home found another way to make a living.

Looking at the empty mountain stronghold, although Yang Chongsu didn't know that the thousands of followers in the mountain stronghold had disappeared, he was very happy.Fei Dan guessed that he must have fallen into the trap of Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi. It was too late to regret. He looked at his assistant Zhao Ming stupidly. Zhao Ming thought for a long time and said, "Xiang Shuai (Yang Chongsu)! Now there are only a hundred disciples. Let alone fighting against Jin Wang's army, even the mountain stronghold can't be protected. Where can I go? Sun You of Tiemang Mountain has long been recruited by Jin Wang."

Zhao Ming said, "Now my home is not safe, I have no place to go. I can only - only surrender to Jin Wang."

Yang Chongsu stared at him fiercely and said angrily, "You said you want to surrender! Anyone who says surrender again will be killed without mercy!" Then he ordered his minions to guard the mountain stronghold. He went back to his room to sleep exhausted.

Zhao Ming, the leader of the bid "Langlihulu" Li Pin, the sub-leaders Mu Wei, Li Yin, Chai Zhen, Liu Jing, Liu Yan, Quan Ben, Liu Chu, and Niu Yi discussed that according to Yang Chongsu's words, everyone would inevitably die, so they tied up Yang Chongsu who was sleeping soundly and took him to the Song army's tent the next morning. The King of Jin ordered the soldiers to carefully guard Yang Chongsu, and ordered Gao Qiong, Wang Zhao, Dai Xing, and Sang Zan to host a banquet for the leaders of Ehushan Zhao Ming and others who surrendered, and ordered people to bring Li Pin to the back tent for him to question in person. There was no one else in the back tent except the King of Jin, Li Pin, and Yan Yun. Li Pin was surprised and happy to see that the King of Jin personally summoned him, and knelt down to pay his respects. King Jin said: "Du! Bold Li Pin, do you know your crime?"

Li Pin was so frightened that he kowtowed and said: "Please spare my life, Your Highness! Please spare my life, Your Highness!"

King Jin said: "If you want to live, confess the truth."

Li Pin said hurriedly: "I should never have gone to Evil Tiger Mountain to be a thief--"

King Jin said: "Forget it! This is not what I am asking. What have you, Qiu Bing, Cao Qing, and Gong Feng done since you left Zhao Guangmei's palace and became a bandit in Luanyun Mountain?"

Li Pin was anxious and afraid, and his face was covered with sweat. He thought for a long time. He had done too many evil things. He didn't know which one King Jin was asking about. He didn't know how to answer for a while and was extremely anxious.

King Jin said: "Haha! Xigang Town Yunqi Inn and Luanyunpo successively assassinated the second princess of Xiangfu. You can't be so forgetful! You think that if you cover your face, no one will know that it was you who did it. If you don't want people to know, then don't do it yourself."

Li Pin sweated like a pig, tried to recall, and said: "Oh! Your Highness, Your Highness - we dare not assassinate the princess of Xiangfu even if we eat bear heart and leopard heart. We are forced to do it!"

King Jin asked urgently: "Who? Who is it?"

Li Pin said: "That person is wearing a red silk mask and has extremely high martial arts skills. If we don't do it, he will kill us. If we do it, there will be a reward. We are forced to do it, so we can only Good to do. After we failed to kill the princess at Luanyun Slope, the red silk masked man brought a group of masked followers to Luanyun Mountain. I thought they were here to deliver the unpaid reward money, but they killed all my subordinates. I, Qiu Bing, Cao Qing, and Gong Feng survived and went to Tianlang Mountain to live as bandits. Unexpectedly, Qiu Bing, Cao Qing, and Gong Feng were killed by Wu Tianzhen, the leader of the Tianlang Mountain bandits——"

The King of Jin was impatient and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Who is the leader of the red silk mask?"

Li Pin was horrified again and said, "I don't know——I don't know, oh! The red silk masked leader and his followers are all calledHis master——"Swoosh" a green light as fast as lightning broke through the tent and shot in, "Ah" Li Pin fell to the ground. Yan Yun then waved his hand in the direction of the green light and shot a hidden weapon "Index Finger Dart". The "Index Finger Dart" was shot out from the hole in the big tent where the green light was shot. Only a "ah" sound was heard outside the tent as if it was hit. Yan Yun jumped out of the tent to chase the assassin, but there was no trace of the assassin. There were a few drops of blood on the ground. He searched everywhere but still couldn't find any trace, so he returned to the tent of King Jin.

Inside the tent, "Iron Palm Zen Zeng" Monk Mingran, "Death-urging Ghost" Cui Yinpeng, "Soul-catching Ghost"

"Gou Yinfang, the "green-faced ghost" Qingyinsha, the "impermanence ghost" Wu Yinzhong, the "white-faced ghost" (one-armed ghost) Baiyinluo, the "Zhanwen Taoist" Liaoran Taoist, the "golden-haired Kunpeng" Li Chong, the "Chuanyun Tuanpeng" Yang Jiong, Gao Qiong, Wang Zhao, Jia Su, Chai Yuxi and others surrounded the King of Jin to greet him. The King of Jin had calmed down and leaned over to see that Li Pin's throat was pierced by a green bamboo hairpin and he had already died. Yan Yun stepped forward and pulled out the "green bamboo hairpin" to wipe the blood off Li Pin's body and presented it to the King of Jin. The King of Jin took the "green bamboo hairpin" and looked at it carefully, then stood up and paced a few steps, laughing bitterly, "Haha! - The assassin broke into my Dingzhou Recruiting Envoy's camp and entered my general's tent as if he were in an empty space. Fortunately, it was not me who fell to the ground!"

"Iron Palm Zen Zeng" Mingran, the "Zhanwen Taoist" Liaoran Taoist, and others felt ashamed. The King of Jin said, "Look carefully at which immortal uses this hidden weapon? "Mingran, Liaoran and others came to watch and shook their heads. The King of Jin kept Jia Su, Chai Yuxi and Yan Yun, and asked the others to leave. He gave the "Green Bamboo Hairpin" to Yan Yun for safekeeping.

The King of Jin suppressed his anger and said for a long time: "Yuxi! How are you going to submit a memorial to the court?"

Chai Yuxi said: "It has been prepared according to your instructions. Please review it." He took out the memorial and presented it to the King of Jin.

The King of Jin looked at it and said: "That's it! Add the seal and send it to Zhang Qing. The suppression of the Golden Spear Society has been accomplished. He will return to Beijing soon to take orders. Please ask him to submit it to the emperor."

Chai Yuxi said: "As you wish. Yang Chongsu's Ehushan leaders Zhao Ming, Mu Wei, Li Yin, Chai Zhen, Liu Jing, Liu Yan, Quan Ben, Liu Chu, Niu Yi and hundreds of other followers have been drugged and tied up. Please make the decision, Your Highness. "

When mentioning Yang Chongsu and Ehushan, the King of Jin was so angry that his teeth itched and said, "Lingchi Yang Chongsu to death, cut off the arms of Zhao Ming, Mu Wei and other followers and beat them to death with clubs."

Chai Yuxi said, "There is no executioner in the army who can do Lingchi, and someone has to go to Dingzhou Yamen to summon him."

Yan Yun said, "Your Highness! The leaders of Ehushan, Zhao Ming, Mu Wei and others are surrendered captives and have the merit of capturing Yang Chongsu alive, so they cannot be killed. Bai Qi, the Wu'an Jun of Qin, who was revered as a god of war in later generations, killed more than 400,000 surrendered soldiers of the Zhao army, and finally left the infamy of "human butcher" for thousands of years! At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, the emperor ordered the removal of Bai Qi's portrait from the Wucheng King Temple. Your Highness must know this. Even if Yang Chongsu committed a heinous crime, he should be beheaded. Why should he be cut into pieces? "

The King of Jin could no longer hold back his anger. In the battle with Yang Chongsu in front of the Ehu Mountain, the Song army suffered heavy casualties. The Emperor sent Wu Huaijie, the commander of the Xiongwei Camp, and his favorite generals Wang Neng, "the fierce Wu Ben", Zhang Xu, "the fierce Wu Ben", and Lu Bin, "the fierce Wu Ben"., "Mountain-opening Yaksha" Wang Xijie, "Crossing River Iron Dragon" Geng Quanbin were brutally murdered by him, Renyong Deputy Lieutenant "Biaoyong Junke" Shang Feng was injured and crippled, Yang Shulin and Zishipo almost became ghosts under his gun, and even chewing meat and drinking his blood could not relieve the hatred in their hearts! Yan Yun not only used the past to satirize the present, but also brought up the current emperor to pressure him, and he was furious, saying: "Yan Yun kills talents! How dare you bully me!" He picked up the "Jade Tiger" brush washer on the table and threw it heavily on the ground, "snap" and broke into several pieces. Jia Su said in a tone of praise and suppression: "Yan Yun is chaotic! How ignorant and unruly! Who in the world dares to use the past to satirize the present and point it directly at Your Highness! If it weren't for Your Highness's wisdom, you wouldn't have enough heads to chop off! Why don't you leave quickly" He meant well, and dragged Yan Yun out of the tent in a hurry.

Yan Yun didn't know where he was wrong, and said: "Jia Changshi! I-I am doing this for the good of King Jin, but King Jin is so angry. If Gao Qiong and Wang Zhao said this to King Jin today, would King Jin be furious?" Jia Su whispered: "Yan Yun! Don't forget that the greatest loyalty to the master is to obey orders! Although Gao Qiong and Wang Zhao are stupid, they never disobey King Jin's orders and never ask why. You! You entered the palace no later than them, why are you still confused?" His painstaking efforts made Yan Yun seem to feel that he was really wrong, but he was unwilling to accept it.
