Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info Zhu Tong came to the city to line up the military horses, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song went out first, fighting on foot, a Zen staff, two swords, and the two monks scolded at the city: "Do the birdmen in the city who are not afraid of death dare to come out to fight?" The soldiers in the city saw that it was a monk and a walker who challenged, and hurriedly reported to the palace of the prince Fang Tianding.
When Deng Yuanjue, the national teacher of Baoguang, heard this, he got up and said to Fang Tianding: "The poor monk has long heard that there is a warrior monk Lu Zhishen under the command of Song Jiang who pulls out a tree and captures the dragon, and asks His Highness to go to the East Gate City to watch the poor monk fight with him." Fang Tianding was about to speak, but he saw another walker under the stairs and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general is willing to go out of the east gate with the national division to fight that Wu Song, and they all say that Wu Song 'knows that there is a tiger in the mountain~ prefers to go to the tiger mountain,' has the power to carry the Ding to fight the tiger, and I am thinking about it for a while today." β
This step descender was originally the head of the Western Regions, came to the Central Plains to find his senior brother, in order to walk conveniently under the pseudonym Wenbai, in Mengzhou for more than a year and a half did not find his senior brother, and later heard that the Jiangnan La uprising was short of good generals, with their own ability to vote for Fang La, was named the deputy general of the infantry army by Fang La, second only to Deng Yuanjue.
Fang Tianding was overjoyed when he heard this: "With the national teacher and general here, we will definitely be able to win a big victory." Then the edict took eight fierce generals and Marshal Shi Bao to the Qingtaimen City to watch Deng Yuanjue and Wen Bai meet the enemy. Fang Tianding and Shi Bao sat down in the city, and the eight-member generals stood on both sides, just waiting for Deng Yuanjue and Wen Bai to fight.
That Deng Yuanjue wore a flaming scarlet straight jacket, tied a tiger to fight bravely, hung a string of seven treasures and pearls, stepped on a pair of nine-ring deerskin monk shoes, lined with incense and gold beasts to cover his heart, and made a shovel with both hands, and only ate wine and meat.

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were scolding, only to see the city gate open, put down the drawbridge, Deng Yuanjue and Wen Bai led a thousand troops out of the city. Lu Zhishen looked at it and said: "It turns out that there are also monks and walkers among the southern thieves, and they are dressed the same as our brothers, let him eat the three hundred Zen canes of the Sprinkle family first!" Lu Zhishen was about to fight, Wu Song said: "Senior brother, I don't know what the way this guy came from, I'll ask." β
Wu Song shouted loudly: "I am the Tiger Wu Song, this is my senior brother Lu Zhishen, who are you two? Dare to come and fight with us!" Deng Yuanjue said: "I am Deng Yuanjue, the national teacher of the Southern Kingdom, this is Wen Bai, the general of the Southern Kingdom, I will meet you today!" Wen Bai saw Wu Song's outfit from afar that his senior brother was wearing, Wen Bai shouted: "Wu Song, where did you get this monk's robe and Buddha beads?" Wu Song said: "This outfit was given to me by my sister-in-law Zhang Qing who killed a head in the Western Regions, what does it have to do with you!"
Wen Bai scolded angrily when he heard this: "Give back my senior brother's life!" waved his double sword to fight Wu Song, and Wu Song understood that he was running to a decisive battle. Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue also came to fight each other. The four of you came and went before the formation, it was so lively, and everyone in the city and the city was dumbfounded.
Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue were hot, they each jumped out of the circle, not afraid of the cold, they both took off half of their monk's robes and carried them cross-body, revealing a floral embroidery. Lu Zhishen has peony flowers on his back, and Deng Yuanjue has a statue on his back, so Lu Zhishen is called "Flower Monk." Deng Yuanjue called, "Baoguang Rulai." Then Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue fought together again.
After one hundred and fifty rounds, the four of them won or lost, Fang Tianding looked at Shi Bao on the city tower and said: "Liang Shanbo, these two monks turned out to be so good, and they lived up to their reputation, and they fought for so long a day, and they didn't let Deng Yuanjue and Wen Bai take advantage of it. Shi Bao said: "The last general is also stupid, I haven't seen such two pairs of opponents yet." The two were talking, and suddenly someone reported: "Under the city of Beiguan, another army is coming." Shi Bao hurriedly got up and went to Beiguan.
After two hundred rounds, Zhu Tong in the Song army saw that it was difficult to distinguish between winning and losing, and came to help with knives and flying horses, Deng Yuanjue and Wen Bai saw that he had another person, and he made a false move, and ran to the city, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song went to chase, and suddenly two fierce generals rushed out of the city gate, which were the last two ghosts of the twenty-four generals in Hangzhou, the drinking spring ghost Mi Quan and the ghost Bei Yingkui, and the spear and the horse to fight Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, the four of them met on the suspension bridge, Mi Quan was killed by Lu Zhishen with a Zen staff and a man and a horse, Wu Song dodged Bei Yingkui's gun, inserted the knife in the sheath, grabbed his gun and dragged it down, dragged the man and the gun off the horse, pulled out the knife, "click" a knife to cut off Bei Yingkui's head, Zhu Tong then came back, Fang Tianding asked someone to quickly pull up the suspension bridge, collect the troops back to the city, Zhu Tong also asked the military horse to withdraw from the ten-mile camp, and sent the good news to tell Song Jiang to know.
On the same day, Song Jiang led his troops to Wulin Gate to call for battle, Shi Bao went out of the city to meet the enemy, and the Song army in the big knife Guan Shengti "Qinglong Yanyue Knife" went to battle. There is a poem that says Guan Sheng:
Emperor Sun of Hedong Xie Liangguan, Pudong Inspector General Xu Jun.
The green dragon glaive is famous all over the world, and the red rabbit chases the wind and hears about the ancient and modern.
The nine-foot general in the red-faced green robe, and the five tigers of Liangshan Juyi.
Then follow the ancestors to sa loyal soul, Tianyong Guan Sheng's big sword.
Guan Sheng and Shi Bao fought for more than 20 rounds, Shi Bao ran away with his horse, and Guan Sheng rode back to his own position. Wu Yong said: "This person is good at using the meteor hammer, returning to the horse to cheat and lose, there must be a conspiracy, a few days ago Suo Chao fell into this person's trick, and his fate fell here." Song Jiang said: "The general returns to the horse in time, if he goes to chase after him, he will be poisoned." Then collect the army and return to the camp, and let people reward Lu Zhishen and Wu Song.
After a few more battles, the southern army killed Li Tianyan and Li Tianyou brothers. Si Xingfang hacked Lei Heng to death, and then fell into the water and died in the chaos, Gong Wang and Huang Ai battled men and horses trapped in the stream and were stabbed to death by the Southern Army. The Song army killed Yao Yi, Zhang Jian, and Zhang Tao among the twenty-four generals in Hangzhou, and captured Huang Ai and Xu Bai alive and beheaded them for public display. Fang Tianding lost a few battles, so he and Deng Yuanjue, Wen Bai, and Shi Bao stuck to Hangzhou. Half a month later, there was bad news, Xu Ning was hit by a medicine arrow and sent to Xiuzhou for treatment, and the curare recurred and died.
On the side of Shezhou, Shi Jin, Shi Xiu, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Li Zhong, and Xue Yongliu were shot to death by Pang Wanchun, Lei Jiong, and Ji Ji, and Lei Jiong and Ji Ji were also captured and killed by Song Junsheng. Ou Peng and Zhang Qing died in the battle with Lu Junyi under the city of Shezhou, and Ding Desun was bitten by a poisonous snake in the grass on the mountain road and died when he was fighting. During the attack on Shezhou, Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo were shot to death in the pit, and Li Yun and Shi Yong were killed in battle. There were casualties on both sides.
Besides, Fang La withdrew from Hangzhou and Fang Qifo led the troops to Chuzhou, scolding Hong Zai for failing to conquer Chuzhou for more than two months, Hong Zai defended and said: "Li Dayou, the governor of this state, defended the city in a good way, and the last general was not enough soldiers and horses, so he couldn't defeat it." Fang Laqi said: "The siege of the city is not conducive to dare to say clever words!" Fang Qifo said: "The emperor is angry, General Hong has captured Jinyun, Lishui, Longquan, Songyang, Suichang, Qingtian counties, it was a lone battle, it is not easy, now only the state has not been down, Your Majesty can lead the troops to break it overnight, my emperor does not have to worry." β
Fang La asked: "Who is Li Dayou in Chuzhou?" Hong Zai said: "This Li Dayou is a native of Xinyu County, Linjiang Army, Yunzhou, I heard that he was born as a Jinshi before, and he has a strategy for defending the city and governing the army. Fang Qifo said: "The last general, please order the city to attack the city with General Hong tomorrow, and be willing to accept military law if this city is not broken!" Fang La agreed.
On the second day, the army attacked the city, and Li Dayou led the defenders to hold out for two hours, but they suffered heavy losses and were unable to resist, so they had to withdraw from Chuzhou. Fang Qifo and Hong captured Chuzhou again, sent people to invite Fang La, Fang La entered the city of Chuzhou, searched for officials, and killed them all.
Until now, Fangla has laid down the southeast half of the country, becoming a country of its own, with 52 counties in six states. Which six states: Muzhou, Shezhou, Hangzhou, Quzhou, Wuzhou, and Chuzhou.
At this time, the generals of the Song army, Liu Yanqing, He Guan, Wang Lian, Ma Kuo, Yang Weizhong, Xin Xingzong, and Zhe Kecun, came one after another, and led the troops to attack the lost cities everywhere.
At the end of February, Song Jiang and Wang Yu attacked Hangzhou, Wu Yong let Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Ling Zhen, Bai Sheng, Mu Chun, Wang Ying, Hu Sanniang and others mixed into the city of Hangzhou, at the time of the second watch, Ling Zhen put up the sub-mother cannon on the top of Wu Mountain, and the rest of the people took torches to set fire everywhere, and after a while the city boiled and shouted, I don't know how many Song troops were in the city, Fang Tianding listened to the surprise in the palace, put on the horse with a halberd, and the guards of each gate had fled for their lives.
Fang Tianding on the horse to find a general, only a few infantry out of the south gate to run, like a lost dog, more like a fish that slipped through the net, when running to the river under Wuyun Mountain, suddenly from the river water out of a person, not afraid of the cold off the stripes, that person ran ashore and went straight to Fang Tianding, Fang Tianding let the foot soldiers to fight, were all cut down by the Han with a knife, Fang Tianding looked bad at hitting the horse and wanted to run, but the horse was motionless, as if someone was leading, the Han came to Fang Tianding's horse, Fang Tianding used a halberd to stab, but the Han grabbed the halberd rod and ripped off the horse, cut off the head of Tianding with a knife, rode Fang Tianding's horse, carried a knife in one hand, and ran back to Hangzhou Cityγ
When Lu Zhishen and Wu Song led the troops to the Liuhe Tower, they were touching the Han, and the two monks recognized it as Zhang Heng, and then saw that the head in Zhang Heng's hand was Fang Tianding, and the two were taken aback. Wu Song said: "Where did my brother come from?" Zhang Heng didn't reply, and rode straight into the city, at this time Song Jiang's people and horses had already entered the city, and regarded Fang Tianding's Tai** as the marshal's mansion, and the generals guarded the palace. Everyone saw Zhang Heng running on a horse, until Song Jiang dismounted, threw his head and knife to the ground, bowed twice and cried, Song Jiang hugged Zhang Heng and said, "Brother, where are you from? Where is Ruan Xiaoqi?" Zhang Heng said: " I'm not Zhang Heng, the younger brother is Zhang Shun, because he was killed by an arrow outside the Yongjin Gate, a little ghost does not leave the water, and was accepted by the West Lake Zhenze Dragon King as Jinhua Taibao, and stayed in the Shuifu Dragon Palace as a god, today my brother broke the city, and my brother's soul entangled Fang Tianding, and I went out of the city in the middle of the night, and saw my brother Zhang Heng in the river, and came to borrow my brother's body to kill the thief at the foot of Wuyun Mountain, so I came back to see my brother. After saying that, he fell to the ground.
Song Jiang helped Zhang Heng up, Zhang Heng slowly opened his eyes and looked at Song Jiang and the generals. Zhang Heng said: "Did I see my brother in Huangquan?" Song Jiang cried and said: "Just now you were possessed by Zhang Shun and killed Fang Tianding, you didn't die, we are all from the yang world." Zhang Heng said: "In this way, my brother Zhang Shun is dead!" Song Jiang said: "Zhang Shun wants to enter the Yongjin Water Gate of Hangzhou from the bottom of the West Lake, enter the city and set fire, and do not want to be known outside the Yongjin Gate, and shoot arrows there indiscriminately." When Zhang Heng heard this, he cried and shouted: "Brother!" fainted.
