Primer
The poem says:
The monarch and his ministers were drunk when they crossed south, and half of the country was alone. The imperial court is now small, where can I ride a donkey?
These four lines of poetry were written by a scholar named Lian Heng on the island of Taiwan. They talk about the famous Song Dynasty general Han Shizhong, one of the famous "Four Generals of Zhongxing". Which four generals? Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi
, Han Shizhong is the same. Han Shizhong spent his life as a soldier and made great achievements in battle, but he could not escape the "flying"
"When all the birds are gone, a good bow is hidden". Han Shizhong resigned from office in his later years, thanked guests behind closed doors, and said nothing about fighting. Compared with Yue Fei who was killed on an "unfounded" charge, Han Shizhong was fortunate. At this time, the emperor of the dynasty was Gao
Zong Zhaogou only wanted to settle in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River and insisted on paying tribute to the Kingdom of Jin to make peace. Yue Fei
He had hundreds of thousands of troops and had great appeal, but he didn't know the Holy Heart. He always boasted about "going straight to Huanglong to welcome back the two saints." How could Zhao Gou not be on guard against him? So he borrowed the help of Qin Hui to fabricate "unfounded" charges.
Kill Yue Fei. If Han Shizhong is said to be "the best bow is hidden when the birds are gone", Yue Fei is the "cunning rabbit"
"He is not dead yet, but the running dog is already cooked". Han Shi was loyal and upright, and did not rely on powerful ministers. He appealed to Yue Fei to no avail. He resigned in anger and became an official. He called himself a cool layman and only cared about being carefree. He often traveled on donkeys and carried wine, but he suffered from the small territory in the south of the Yangtze River.
, the scenery is small and exquisite, but it is not a place where you can ride a donkey and have fun.
It is said that the Song Dynasty established the foundation of Taizu and established the principle of "emphasis on literature and suppressing military power", which avoided the pain of separatist vassal towns, but laid the foundation for the loss of power and humiliation of the country. According to the legend of the Song Dynasty, there was no debauchery and tyranny, but only gentleness and tolerance.
Heart. For example, Zhenzong Zhao Heng signed the "Chanyuan Alliance" with the Liao Kingdom. Although there was no war between Song and Liao for a hundred years, the Song Dynasty cut off Youyun Liuliu.
State, and had to give gold and silk to the Liao State in exchange for the Liao State not to invade the south. How weak and shameful! It even made the Song Dynasty forget to fight and go to war, and all military equipment was useless. It was passed down to Huizong Zhao Ji that he was talented and intelligent.
He is good at calligraphy, and created his own "thin gold style" calligraphy. He is good at painting, and is good at painting flowers and birds. But he is ignorant.
He favored the traitor and appointed the traitor Cai Jing as the prime minister. He gathered Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and other traitorous ministers under his command. They flattered the people above and exploited the people below. What they did was to build mountains, collect flowers and stones, accept bribes, and do whatever they wanted.
Private individuals, cultivating immortals, practicing Taoism, and staying in prostitutes were not the official duties of governing the world, which led to chaos in the imperial court and the decline of the country. Later, the Liao Kingdom weakened, and the Jin Kingdom
But it rose up, and finally Jin destroyed Liao. When the Jin soldiers invaded, the Song Dynasty was defeated in one attack, and the "two sages" were captured in the second attack by the Five Kingdoms City. The so-called "two sages" were Huizong Zhao Ji and Qinzong Zhao Huanye.
After three strikes, Gaozong Zhaogou avoided the south of the Yangtze River and ruled across the river, giving half of the beautiful country to the Kingdom of Jin for nothing. Later generations commented: "Song Huizong was capable of everything, but he could not be the king's ear!"
During the Xuanhe reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Song Jiang and other 108 people gathered in Liangshan Park. Although they were in the green forest, they were loyal and dedicated to doing justice for heaven. Later, after being recruited, the imperial court sent Song Jiang to lead 108 people.
Conquered the Liao Dynasty, wiped out Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La, established outstanding achievements, and sacrificed their lives for the country. Song Jiang pacified Dingjiang.
On the day he returned to Beijing from the south, the poor man had only three-tenths of his life. The traitorous ministers still could not spare him, and they did everything possible to harm him. Soon after they were eliminated, Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Wu Yong, Hua Rong, Li Kui and others were all killed. In the end, they were all killed.
There are only thirty-two people left: Gongsun Sheng, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Chai Jin, Li Ying, Zhu Dian, Dai Zong
, Li Jun, Ruan Xiaoqi, Yan Qing, Zhu Wu, Huang Xin, Sun Li, Xiao Rang, Pei Xuan, Yang Lin, Ling Zhen, Jiang Jing, An Daoquan, Huang Fuduan, Fan Rui, Jin Dajian, Tong Wei, Tong Meng
, Song Qing, Lehe, Mu Chun, Du Xing, Zou Run, Cai Qing, Sun Xin, Gu Dasao. Some of these thirty-two people were appointed as officials, and some were imperial
Some are living in seclusion, some are abandoning their jobs and returning to farming, and some are cultivating and learning Taoism. They are scattered in all directions, like pearls falling off the thread, and leaves' notes can no longer be collected in one place. Everyone surrenders to his master and goes his own way.
For their future, some have joined the enemy camp, and in the end they have to risk their lives and never see each other again. Such an ending is so sad!
But it is said that when Song Jiang conquered Wang Qing, he had already alarmed the Eight Immortals in the Upper Realm. Those Eight Immortals? Tieguaili, Zhong Liquan, Lan Caihe, Zhang Guolao, He Xiangu, Lu Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, and Cao Guojiu. On this day, the Eight Immortals gathered together,
After chatting, Zhang Guolao sighed: "Song Jiang really worked hard, Zheng Da
Liao, Tianhu, and Wangqing all attacked the city and destroyed it. Unfortunately, during the subsequent expedition to Fangla, they were destined to suffer a tragic defeat. Only 30% of the 108 people remained. And they could not avoid being harmed by traitors.
After calculation, there are only thirty-two people left." Lu Dongbin disagreed and argued.
"How come there are only thirty-two people left?" Tieguai Li heard this and shouted sternly: "This is God's will, what do you want?" Lu Dongbin is a troublemaker, how could Tieguai Li not know? Lu Dongbin laughed and said: "How can I
Dare you go against God's will? Just thinking about it. If you find someone, just tell him that he is pure.
He knows Yang Kung Fu, but he doesn't teach him how to save people. Whether he can save people or not depends entirely on fate." Zhong Liquan, standing by, counted with his fingers and said: "The person you enlightened will have a blood disaster in his life, so he must be saved.
Save his life again." Lu Dongbin said: "It doesn't hurt to save his life again." Zhang Guolao said: "It can be saved.
If you save people, you cannot save the country!" Zhong Liquan said: "We can save people for a while, but not for a lifetime." Lu Dongbin said: "If you can save people, save people first, and you can save people for a while." He incited He Xiangu to go down to earth together, and came here
Went to Yingping Mountain in Dantu County. Lu Dongbin transformed into a wild ape and fell in love with one
A young man was taught Pure Yang Kung Fu. However, He Xiangu fell in love with a wild girl. Lu Dongbin laughed and said: "This little girl is only five or six years old. If you want to enlighten her, you have to pass the time." He Xiangu said angrily: "
I want you to take care of who I like!" Lu Dongbin walked away with a puff of sleeves, and Lu Dongbin hurriedly followed.
Go up. The two immortals meandered to Hangzhou and looked down from the air. Among the bustling soldiers and civilians in Hangzhou, He Xiangu fell in love with a woman. He Xiangu said: "Okay, what is this person's surname? He has the same surname as mine." She held her hand.
The lotus tilted, and a drop of fairy dew fell on the woman's head. Why?
The fairy aunt shouted: "Whether you can save people or not depends entirely on luck!" Lu Dongbin laughed and returned to the fairy world with He Xiangu. The little brother and the woman were really lucky, and they finally saved the two Liangshan heroes. In the end,
Of the 108 people in Songjiang, thirty-four remained, not thirty-two.
Let’s stop talking and let’s get back to the main story, starting with Song Jiang’s conquest of Fang La.
Chapter 1 Xue Yong hit the arrow at Yuling Pass Shen Ling of Dantu County presented a knife
Let me first quote a narrative from "Water Margin":
It is said that during the Xuanhe reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the Pingnan pioneer sent Song Jiang to lead the army across the Yangtze River to conquer Fangla. After capturing Hangzhou, Song Jiang and the deputy pioneer Lu Junyi divided their forces into two groups. Song Jiang led the 36 main and partial generals to attack Mu.
When the state merged with Wulong Ridge, Lu Junyi led 28 generals and assistants to attack Shezhou and merge with Yuling Pass.
Not to mention Song Jiang, but Lu Junyi, after dividing his troops from Hangzhou, commanded 28 positive and negative generals and 30,000 horses, led the troops to the mountain road, passed through the old county of King Qian in Lin'an Town, and went straight to Yuling Pass to guard the pass.
But he is one of Fang La’s subordinates
General Yuan, nicknamed Xiaoyang Youji and Pang Wanchun, was the first person in Fangla Kingdom who could shoot a bow and arrow. He had five thousand men and horses under his command to guard the Yuling Pass. Hearing that Lu Junyi was bringing troops, he prepared weapons to fight against the enemy.
Just wait for the incoming army to approach.
General Lu Junyi's army approached Yuling Pass. That day he sent six generals, Shi Jin, Shi Xiu, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Li Zhong, and Xue Yong, to lead 3,000 infantry troops to go out. At that time, Shi Jin
Six generals were riding war horses, and the rest were infantry. When they reached the pass, they did not encounter a single war horse.
Shi Jin was suspicious on the horse, and discussed with the generals. Before he could say anything, he had already arrived in front of the pass. When he looked, he saw a colorful embroidered white flag erected on the pass, and under it stood Xiao Yang Youji Pang Wanchun. He looked at Shi Jin and other senior officials.
He laughed and cursed: "You bunch of thieves have no choice but to live in Liangshan Po. How dare you come to me?"
There are so many heroes in this country! Have you heard of Xiao Yang Youji’s name? I heard that there is a certain Xiao Li Guanghua Rong in your group. Let him come out and compete with me in arrows. I’ll teach you my magic arrows first.”
Before he could finish his words, Shi Jin was hit by a "whoosh" arrow, and he dismounted his horse. He heard another sound from the top of the mountain.
The gong sounded, and arrows were fired from the pine forests on the left and right. Crossbow arrows were fired like rain. Even a very heroic man could not dodge such arrows. It was a pity that the six generals and assistants of the Water Margin all had a dream. Shi Jin and other six people did not know it.
If one of them comes out, they will all be shot to death in the pass.
However, these six people were not dead. At that time, Xue Yong was hit by an arrow on his left shoulder and fell off his horse. The horse was hit by three or four arrows on his crotch. After struggling for a few times, he finally fell down and hit Xue Yong hard. Xue Yong was in pain. "Hey!" He fainted and died. When he woke up, he didn't know how many hours had passed, but he saw that the surroundings were densely packed with corpses, piled on top of each other, and filled with arrowheads. Xue Yong reached out and pulled out the arrow on his left shoulder, and blood suddenly flowed like a Note. He went to his side and took out the gold gun powder and pressed it on the wound. It was not until dark that he couldn't see his fingers. Only then did Xue Yong struggle out of the pile of corpses and staggered down the mountain. He was feeling dizzy and stopped walking. He stopped and finally reached the foot of the mountain. He could no longer walk and fell down on the side of the road.
Chapter completed!
