When this incident was brought up, all the generals in the tent seemed to have been beaten to death. Everyone opened their mouths and spoke vividly, as if they were watching at the scene. On the contrary, Ximen Qing and Guan Sheng, the parties involved, were in very stable moods.
"Why are you talking about such a trivial matter?" Ximen Qing waved his hand and said, "Mr. Gongsun finally came here. Usually the dragons don't see each other head and tail. It's not easy for brothers to meet each other. Alcohol is prohibited in the army, so let's drink tea instead of wine.
A bowl of Mr. Gongsun."
Everyone suddenly realized that they all turned their attention to Gongsun Sheng. They invited him to sit down next to him like stars holding the moon, and brought tea bowls over.
How can there be any good tea in the army? It's just to quench thirst. Gongsun won the bowl until the tea was dry, and he didn't figure out the taste until he drank the eighth bowl.
Drinking too much tea is also a chore!
If he drank alcohol, Gongsun Sheng could use some tricks to force the alcohol out of his body; but if he drank too much tea, his mouth would taste bitter, and he would have to run to the hut all the time.
Gongsun Sheng took a moment to glance at Ximen Qing, who was watching with a smile on his face.
"If I wasn't careful, I got hit again!"
Gongsun Sheng was a little annoyed, but in front of him were good brothers whom he had not seen for a long time. How could he make sense without exchanging pleasantries for a while?
By the time he drank the eleventh bowl, Gongsun Sheng couldn't bear to pinch the magic formula in his sleeve, and suddenly the Taoist crown on his head began to emit wisps of white gas. Although it was a bit embarrassing, it was better than carrying the Taoist robe to find a hut.
Seeing Gongsun Sheng transformed into a humanoid humidifier, Ximen Qing couldn't help but smile and came over with a teapot: "Mr. Gongsun has worked hard all the way, and I must reward him with this bowl of tea."
Gongsun Sheng was so angry that he grabbed Ximen Qing's wrist, pulled him close and whispered: "Junior brother, please don't try to hurt me by any means. My mouth is sore now!"
Ximen Qing took advantage of the situation and whispered in Gongsun Sheng's ear: "Then tell me why you came here?"
"Didn't I say...visiting friends!" Gongsun Sheng replied.
"Mr. Gongsun, do you think I would believe this statement?" Ximen Qing chuckled.
Gongsun Sheng was speechless for a moment.
The two of them were in such an intimate posture that everyone in Liangshan nearby saw them and were very envious. They all thought that the two of them had a good relationship, but they didn't expect that the two of them were bargaining.
"Qiao Daoqing is in Zhaode City. You didn't come earlier or later, but you came now. To be honest, did Master Luo send you here?"
Ximen Qing remembered that in Water Margin, Gongsun Sheng conquered Qiao Daoqing. Gongsun Sheng must have been ordered by his master to do this.
"It has nothing to do with the teacher, Pindao did it himself." Gongsun Sheng held on to the end.
"Okay." Ximen Qing blinked: "Now that we're here, let's take care of the second thing over there."
Gongsun Sheng was very happy: "Junior brother, could it be that he is talking about subduing Qiao Daoqing?"
Ximen Qing shook his head slightly and said deliberately: "Then Qiao Daoqing has low skills, what can he conquer?"
"Then what do you want Pindao to do?" Gongsun Sheng gritted his teeth.
"Last time, we didn't draw enough horses." Ximen Qing put down the teapot, moved his fingers, and pretended to calculate: "This time, you can draw 20,000 pictures!"
Gongsun Sheng's breath was so chaotic that he almost sprayed tea on Ximen Qing's face: "Junior brother, let's talk about subduing Qiao Daoqing!"
"Then you have to say yes, you have to conquer it yourself, I didn't ask you to do it." Ximen Qing smiled and pointed out two fingers: "Mr. Gongsun is a wise man, so you can't cheat."
Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng gasped and looked at Ximen Qing for a long time, adjusted his breath, and swallowed back the tea that came up.
"Well, how can I possibly speak against someone like Ximen Qing!" Gongsun Sheng then thought: "It's the teacher's order anyway, so just do it."
Seeing Gongsun Sheng's slight nod, Ximen Qing knew that he had agreed, so he stood up straight and announced loudly: "Everyone! Mr. Gongsun has already agreed to surrender to the national master Qiao Daoqing. Taking Zhaode City is just a matter of course!"
"What? Mr. Gongsun is willing to help?" The first person to speak was Dadao Guan Sheng, who hurriedly came over and thanked him: "Mr. Gongsun is a great virtue, I will thank you first."
Everyone in Liangshan also started talking about it.
"Let me tell you, this Mr. Gongsun is here just to subdue the demon!"
"With Mr. Gongsun here, the demon will be captured without hesitation!"
"That's right! It's not quite right! Even ten Qiao Daoqings aren't enough!"
Gongsun Sheng felt that he had benefited from it, and he coughed and stood up: "Everyone! That Qiao Daoqing's illusion technique can reach the gods, but it's a pity that the pearl has been cast into darkness. When the troops are sent out tomorrow, it doesn't matter that Qiao Daoqing doesn't take action. As long as he does, Ping Dao will break his illusion on the side.
that is!"
Dadao Guan Sheng listened to Gongsun Sheng's wishes and obviously did not want to kill too many evildoers. He immediately praised Gongsun Sheng as a moral man.
When Ximen Qing saw that it was noon, he hurriedly ordered a running table to be set up in the army. The generals had a hearty meal and geared up, hoping that the sun would set early. When tomorrow dawned, they would fight again.
Besides, Qiao Daoqing lost the battle at Niutoushan and returned to Zhaode Mansion angrily. He sat on the ground in the courtyard and couldn't bear to think about it. When Sun An saw this, he comforted him: "Winning or losing is a common thing for military officers. Why should my brother care? After two years of stay,
After resting and recuperating, it will not be too late to defeat the Song army again."
Qiao Daoqing let out a long sigh: "Ximen Qing has very little ability and was about to win. Unexpectedly, Master Luo helped him secretly and sent a yellow scarf warrior over. How could he win? Is this poor Taoist going to be inferior to others in his life?"
While the two were sighing, Sun Qi, the city guard general, heard that the two had turned around and came to inquire in person. Sun Qi was worried after hearing that they had failed in the battle at Yangtou Mountain.
"We finally waited for the Imperial Preceptor and the Palace Commander to arrive, but it turned out to be a bad start. Although the Zhaode City is strong and has abundant food and grass, it is surrounded and attacked by the Song Army. Sooner or later, it will be unable to hold it..."
"Guard? Why defend?" Qiao Daoqing sneered: "Pindao lost to Ximen Qing in a fight today. It was just a moment of carelessness. The two armies were fighting. Pindao still had many methods at his disposal. Even ten Ximen Qing could not stop him.
live."
As he spoke, Qiao Daoqing drew a line on the ground, took out a handful of mung beans from his bag, sprinkled them on the ground, and immediately turned into soldiers, only the size of mung beans, but with all armor and uniforms; he also took out a handful of black beans, and transformed into soldiers of the Song Dynasty.
With a wave of his sleeves, the two armies began to fight.
The numbers of both sides were equal, and they were instantly killed and it was hard to separate them.
Sun Qi was dazzled by what he saw, and Qiao Daoqing was mumbling something. The strong wind blew first, blowing the Song army turned into black beans. With a finger, many hailstones suddenly fell, as if they had eyes, specifically to hit the Song army.
.
With the help of Qiao Daoqing's illusion skills, the soldiers transformed from mung beans were completely victorious before even having a cup of tea, while the Song army transformed from black beans lost their armor and was completely defeated.
Qiao Daoqing flicked his sleeve again, and Sun An looked at the ground next to him. There were no soldiers anywhere, but there were still mung beans and black beans.
"It turns out that the imperial master's methods are so clever!" Sun Qi applauded: "Why worry about the Song army not being defeated!"
Qiao Daoqing chuckled and said: "This is just a small trick. There are still many methods that have not been used. After the rest, we will go to the Song army camp to fight! If not, the morale of our army will be low, but the Song army will get an advantage."
Sun An was convinced and asked Sun Qi: "How is Brother Lu Qing's injury?"
Sun Qi sighed: "He died just now and was placed in the plum jade shed."
Sun An said angrily: "That Hua Monk Lu Zhishen was too ruthless. If I don't avenge this, how can Sun, a handsome man, still be worthy of his post?"
The three of them discussed some matters about sending troops and made a plan to lure those powerful generals of the Song Army into battle. When the time comes, Qiao Daoqing will use magic to capture them!
...
...
On the third day, Qiao Daoqing, Sun An, and Sun Qi were all dispatched, including Qin Ying, Jin Zhen, Pan Xun, Yang Fang, Feng Sheng, Hu Mai, Lu Fang, Lei Zhen, Ni Lin, Fei Zhen, etc.
Ten generals followed, ordered the 30,000 troops in the city, opened the south gate and marched towards the Song army camp.
Ximen Qing had already received a report from the spies, and the generals ordered the soldiers to move out in unison, facing Qiao Daoqing, Sun An and others leading the Northern Army to charge towards them. Archers from both sides held their positions and set up a formation seven or eight miles south of Zhaode City.
, the drums beat, and everyone shouts.
Sun An, the commander-in-chief of the palace opposite, came out with the two iron swords and shouted: "Call that fat monk to come and see me!"
Hua Monk Lu Zhi was deeply annoyed by Sun An's rude remarks, and he was also temporarily itchy. He informed Guan Sheng, rode his horse out of the formation, and fought Sun An face to face.
"Are you Sun An, the commander-in-chief of the palace?" Lu Zhishen's voice was loud and he crossed his sixty-four kilogram water mill Zen staff: "When the soldiers are here, instead of surrendering the city, they come to invade our barracks!"
Sun An pointed the sword in his right hand: "Last time you beat Lu Qing to death with a Zen staff, today Sun will take revenge!"
"Who can remember cats and dogs?" Lu Zhishen rolled his eyes: "This is a war, not a house. It is said that swords and guns have no eyes, who can blame them?"
Sun An was furious, raised his two swords and knocked down his horse, and came to fight the flower monk Lu Zhishen. Lu Zhishen waved his water-grinding Zen staff and slapped Sun An with his head covered.
Sun An listened to the bad news and secretly sighed that the bald donkey was very powerful, so he handed his sword to his left hand, turned the horse, and dodged this move; then he danced his swords and pressed down on the Zen staff.
If this pressure is firm, there will be many changes behind it. You can use the Zen staff to bully Lu Zhishen into his arms, making him unable to resist; you can also separate the two swords to catch him by surprise.
But Lu Zhishen has experienced hundreds of battles, how could he be fooled by this? What a flower monk! Before Sun An's two iron swords were compacted, he shouted violently, and the Zen staff was picked up, and rolled with the momentum, like a black dragon tail.
Hit Sun An directly in front of him!
Sun An frowned, opened the Zen staff with his swords, and leaned forward. The swords in his hands were like two lightning bolts, piercing Lu Zhishen's chest and abdomen.
Seeing how powerful this move was, Hua Monk Lu Zhishen also slapped his horse and dodged away.
The two tumbled and rolled, fighting for twenty or thirty times with no winner or loser. The more Lu Zhishen fought, the more energetic he became, shouting "enjoyed" repeatedly, and his Zen staff flew up and down, making it impossible for Sun An to bully him.
As the saying goes, every inch is long and every inch is strong. Lu Zhishen used this advantage to the fullest, making Sun An unable to attack and had to fight outside.
After fighting for a few more times, Sun An thought about making arrangements in advance, then feinted with his sword and retreated to the east.
