Chapter 21: Soldiers approach the city and force Kyoto (Wu)
Zhang Shun guarded the city of Zhongmou. Guan Sheng sent Hao Siwen and his troops to call for formation at the gate of Zhongmou City. Zhang Shun saw this and knew that something was wrong. He was afraid that something might happen to Tongwei and Tongmeng. At that moment, he was very anxious.
On the one hand, Zhang Shun sent people to Zhengzhou City to move reinforcements, and on the other hand, he sent capable young men to find out the remote roads to report to Marshal Shi Jin and request for immediate help. Not to mention that they traveled day and night to go to the emergency, Shi Jin and others
People camped here for the night, but no one of the sent out scouts came back.
Shi Jin and Wu Yong were very doubtful in the camp. Wu Yong shook his head and said: "It is very late at night and it is easy to fall into an ambush by the enemy. If we guard the camp carefully, we can also take the opportunity to raise troops overnight for a decisive battle tomorrow. Let's see.
What tricks are they using?"
Just when everyone was deciding on the strategy, they suddenly heard the sound of war drums wafting outside the camp. A battalion officer on guard rushed to report that it turned out that Ma Xuanzan of Chou County led the three armies to attack Dazhai.
Shi Jin snorted coldly and said: "You've come just in time, brothers, follow me to meet the enemy!" The generals were already gearing up to stretch their bones.
Xuanzan led his troops to press over, and when he saw Shi Jin and others standing in formation on the open ground in front of the camp, he also reined in his horse and asked with a look of disdain: "You have the guts! Who can fight with me?"
A life or death!"
I saw Liu Quantian swiping his sword, riding out, and asked Xuan Zan: "Who are you? Please leave your name, so as not to be wronged by the sword!"
After hearing this, Xuan Zan was furious and shouted: "Grandpa Xuan Zan! The head is here, if you have the seed, come and get it!" After saying that, he went straight to Liu Quantian with his sword.
Liu Quantian shouted loudly and rode Cui Ma directly to get the praise.
Xuan Zan encountered Liu Quantian in the formation while wielding a sword. The two fought back and forth for more than ten rounds. Liu Quantian showed his weakness and turned his horse to leave. Xuan Zan came from behind.
Liu Quantian hung a big sword on the sword ring behind his horse, picked up his bow and took the arrows, turned around, and shot three arrows side by side with one bow. Xuan Zan heard the sound of the bow and immediately blocked it with his sword, and the arrows were all hit by the sword.
On the surface.
When Liu Quantian saw that the three arrows missed, he took out the second arrow and aimed it accurately, hoping that it would hit Xuan Zan's chest.
The shot missed. Xuan Zan saw that he was very skilled in bow and arrow, so he did not dare to pursue him again. Huo Di immediately turned back on his horse and ran back to the main formation. Seeing that he was no longer coming, Liu Quantian also quickly turned his horse's head and chased after Xuan Zan.
When he came, he took the second row of arrows at his back, and after looking at the praise, he shot three more arrows. He only heard a clanging sound, and it hit the breast mirror behind him. The arrow feathers were sharp.
It penetrated a layer of heart-protecting mirror, thanks to a layer of soft armor inside, otherwise Xuanzan would have become a ghost wandering from the arrow at this moment.
Xuanzan was frightened by Liu Quantian's arrow skills, and his horse hurriedly returned to the inner formation to report to Guan Sheng in the camp. After Guan Sheng learned about it, he immediately called to the primary school: "Hurry up and bring my horse!
"After saying that, Huo Di stood up, wielded the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, rode on the charcoal horse, and took a soldier and horse with him directly to the front of the battle. When Shi Jin saw Guan Sheng's pavilion in Tianbiao, he and Wu Yong were filled with admiration in their hearts. Just as people mistakenly thought that
Master Guan Gong came down to earth. Shi Jin turned around and praised the generals loudly: "Hero Guan Sheng is indeed well-deserved!"
Lin Chong felt unhappy after hearing this sentence, and shouted: "Commander, my brothers and I have formed more than a hundred formations, big and small, and have never been defeated. How can we destroy our prestige today?" After saying that, he drew his gun and rode out to win Guan Sheng.
When Guan Sheng saw this, he shouted loudly: "Green forest and grass bandits, ask your boss to speak out! I want to ask him what his intention is to betray the imperial court! It will bring harm to the world!"
Shi Jin listened on the gate flag, drank Lin Chong, rode his horse and went out to the battle in person, bowed and saluted Guan Sheng, and said: "Is the general here to ask for guilt?"
Guan Sheng shouted: "As a citizen of the Song Dynasty, how dare you betray the imperial court?"
"This is not difficult to answer, but I would like to ask the general." Shi Jin looked at Guan Sheng and said, "Are you asking this for the imperial court or for the common people in the world?"
"What's the difference?" Guan Sheng shouted: "Don't deny it, just answer it!"
Shi Jin smiled and replied: "If there were peaceful days, we would naturally not rise up. Ask the brothers behind me who is the cruel man! Which one has stained the blood of the people on his hands! Why did they follow me through the mountains and seas of fire?
!Why!" After saying this, Shi Jin paused, looked at Guan Sheng and said slowly: "It's all because the imperial court is unclear, allows treacherous ministers to rule, does not allow loyal and good people to enter, is full of corrupt officials, and frames the people of the world. We will wait.
Forced to make a living, I have no choice but to rise up and do what is right for heaven. The state capitals we pass through will not harm the people at all!"
Guan Sheng has indeed heard of the wisdom of Green Forest, but now as the mainstay of the country, how can he say good things about others? At the moment, he can only yell and curse: "He is obviously a thieves! What are you doing? What are you doing? The soldiers of heaven are here.
What's more, you're talking cleverly! If you don't get off your horse and get restrained, your bones will be shattered into pieces!"
Hearing this, Luan Tingyu, who was behind Shi Jin, couldn't bear it anymore. He shouted, stretched out the spear in his hand, and grabbed it on horseback. At this time, Lin Chong also yelled, drew his spear, and galloped over. The two generals both
Take Guan Sheng, Guan Sheng has no fear, and we all welcome him.
The three horses turned around like a lantern, and the three of them were fighting inextricably. After seven or eight rounds, Shi Jin really respected Guan Sheng and other talents, and suddenly ordered Ming Jin to close the army. Lin Chong and Luan Tingyu got back on their horses and ran together.
He returned to Shi Jin and asked: "Commander, we are trying to capture this guy, why did my brother withdraw his troops and stop fighting?"
Shi Jin said to the two of them: "My dear brother, we are all loyal and self-defeating men. It is undesirable to choose one of the two. Even if we capture him for a while, it will make him dissatisfied. I think he is a righteous and brave general with a broad sword.
He is a loyal minister for generations, his ancestors are gods, and his family has many temples. If you get this person, the world will not worry."
Lin Chong and Luan Tingyu were speechless after hearing this, and quietly retreated.
Shi Jin came out of the horse riding, held the dragon stick horizontally on the horse, and said: "General Guan Sheng, you have a rest and come back to fight me alone, or..."
"You can do it now, you can't ask for it!" Guan Sheng said and came up with his sword.
Shi Jin picked up the Coiling Dragon Staff and intercepted him head-on, and the two of them started fighting. The roar of the dragon from the Coiling Dragon Staff and the blurred dragon scales all over his body immediately shocked Guan Sheng, but his sword skills were not good at all.
They fought in chaos, both offensively and defensively, and Shi Jin also used both advance and retreat. The two of them fought ping-pong-pong for more than seventy rounds, but there was still no winner.
"General Guan!" When the two of them fought for more than a hundred rounds, Shi Jin called out. With a feint, the two of them stood on both sides. Shi Jin said, "General Guan, it's already late today. I think it's too late."
At this point in the contest, you don't have to attack my city of Zhongmou. Even if it is captured, I will take it back. If we meet at that time, we will accidentally injure many people. Say goodbye to each other and go back to camp. We will come back tomorrow morning.
Compared."
Guan Sheng had just fought with Shi Jin. Shi Jin was superb in his stick skills. He had already seen that Shi Jin used a stick to make eighteen kinds of weapon moves. Not only was there no pretense in them, but he used them smoothly and smoothly, which is admirable.
Needless to say, he has superb skills. What is even more terrifying is the magic weapon in his hand. Every move and every move seems to be gentle, but if it is followed, it is like a heavy weight. After fighting like this for more than a hundred rounds, Guan Sheng's two arms have become fast.
He felt sore and heavy as if he had been filled with lead water. Shi Jin took the initiative to withdraw his troops at this moment, which was exactly what he wanted, so he also withdrew his troops immediately.
That night, both sides withdrew their troops. Guan Sheng returned to the stronghold, dismounted his horse, took off his armor, rubbed his sore arms, and thought to himself: "I couldn't fight against the two generals before, and I was about to lose to them. Shi Jin summoned me instead."
After they went back, Shi Jin fought with me single-handedly. If we keep fighting, he will definitely be able to beat me. Why did Shi Jin withdraw his troops and horses? I don’t know what the meaning of this is?"
Guan Sheng was worried and asked Xiaojun to arrest Zhang Heng, Tong Wei and Tong Meng in the prison car and came over and asked: "Shi Jin is also an ordinary person. Who did he learn Kung Fu from? How can you guys obey him?"
Tong Wei responded and said: "My commander-in-chief learned from Wang Jin, the instructor of the 180,000 Imperial Army. He treated us as his own brothers, made clear rewards and punishments, and loved the people like his own children. What can you do with the helpless officials and people who don't know loyalty?"
Save it!"
"It turns out he is Wang Jin's apprentice!" Guan Sheng was shocked. At that time, this person was Guan Sheng's role model and idol. Later, I heard that he was ostracized and resigned from his job and fled. Since then, he has been missing. Some people say
The last time we met in a small temple, he became a monk. Some said he went to the outside world and lived in seclusion and never came back to the world... There were many rumors, but generally speaking, Wang Jin was cold-hearted about the world.
Sheng said to himself: "This is no wonder."
Guan Sheng raised his head again and asked them: "Then which master made the weapon in his hand?"
"That magic weapon was given to my eldest brother by the Nine Heavens Xuannv. One day, my eldest brother was taken up to heaven by the Nine Heavens Xuannv in his dream. He was given this magic weapon and asked him to help the country, open up a country, and surround the people. Wait.
When my elder brother woke up, he had such a magical weapon in his hand, and there were nine green dragons attached to his body, so he was named Nine-Patterned Dragon! He is born with extraordinary auspiciousness!"
Guan Sheng lowered his head and said nothing, and asked the primary school teacher to push the prison cart down. That night, he was restless and walked out of the army to look at the moon. The sky was filled with cold and frost was everywhere, and Guan Sheng sighed endlessly.
Someone from Fulu Primary School came to report: "There is a bearded general with a horse and a whip, saying he wants to see the marshal."
Guan Sheng said: "Don't you ask who he is? Why did he come to see me?"
The primary school officer reported in detail: "The man behaved himself. He didn't have any armor or weapons, and he refused to give his name. He just said he wanted to meet the marshal."
Guan Sheng said: "Since this is the case, then let me call him." Not long after the primary school left, I saw a man coming to the tent to pay homage to Guan Sheng. Guan Sheng turned around to look at this man, as if
He had never seen it before, so he turned off the lantern and looked again, and he could vaguely recognize the general description. At that moment, he felt doubtful, so he turned away from the primary school leader who was leading the way and asked who that person was.
