In the forty-fourth episode, the Bai family faked the capture of Tang General Cheng Hu, and fled at night to ask for justice
Speaking of Nanping Pass, Shen Yu was defeated and walked into the pass. Bai wanted to use a stratagem to capture Zhengyang, and ordered the attendants to take it down, the banner of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the banner of the Tang Dynasty was hung high, the four gates of Nanping Pass were wide open, and the soldiers stood empty-handed, not holding a blade.
Shen Wenxiu said: "The old man personally went to the Tang camp to ask for surrender, Zhengyang is good at using soldiers, Xu Meizu is cunning, the old man must remember not to change his words, he will die to the Tang Dynasty, with a heart of steel, there is always a sword to open the mountain, you can't cut your throat, Zhengyang is unreasonable and unbelievable, and the old man is not in danger." The foolish wife prepares a banquet and waits. ”
Shen Wenxiu's face was afraid, and said: "I hope it is as Mrs. said, otherwise, my life will be suspended." ”
Bai said: "Zhengyang interrogated in every way, and the old man only said that he would descend to Tang, and he would have no worries." The old man doesn't think about the baby, what does the Tang soldiers do? ”
Then Shen Wenxiu gritted his teeth, tied his hands, and inserted thorns on his back, so that people could send them to Tang Ying.
Let's talk about the Tang camp, Cheng Hu entered the camp, reported the merits, Xu Meizu gathered to reconsider, and took the plan of Nanpingguan.
Xu Meizu said: "The views of the brothers, how to take Nanping Pass." ”
Cheng Hu said: "The soldiers besieged it, and Nanping Pass can be down in a few days." ”
The generals thought so. The soldiers came to report, saying: "Report to the military division, Nanping Pass does not know why, change the flag of our country, open the city gate, there is a meaning of surrender." ”
Xu Meizu made the soldiers revisit, and said to the generals: "Nanping Pass, what do you want?" ”
Zhang Huan Chu said: "If you are defeated in a war, you will be bold, and you will surrender." ”
The soldiers came back and reported: "Shen Wenxiu, the chief soldier of Nanping Pass, tied his hands and took the guilt of Jing pleading." ”
Xu Meizu was suspicious, and the herald said: "Tell me that the marshal is sleeping soundly and waiting outside the door." ”
The doorman ordered to go out.
Zhang Huan Chu smiled and said: "I say, Zhongye, Shen Wenxiu is really afraid of surrendering." ”
Xu Meizu said: "Come and fall, I'm afraid it's not really down." As the ancients said, you are not afraid of the anger of a gentleman, but you must be wary of encountering women and villains. Nanping Pass has the Bai clan in charge, the day before yesterday sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender not to obey, today the army arrived, then changed the preface, come to surrender alone, there will be a change of him. ”
Cheng Hu smiled and said: "The Bai family is a female streamer, without the martial arts of a sister-in-law, and is invincible to my axe, why is the fourth brother so timid and afraid." ”
Xu Meizu said: "No, there are wise people, there is no difference between men and women, the Bai family always has thousands of strategies, I can also solve them, somehow, there is a trace of my heart, and it is difficult to go to doubts." ”
Cheng Hu said: "Listen to what Shen Wenxiu said, and then reconsider." ”
Xu Meizu thought so, and ordered Shen Wenxiu to enter the account, and saw it after entering the curtain.
Shen Wenxiu entered the tent, and saw that the tiger generals were lined up left and right, and Marshal Tang Bing was sitting behind the scenes, only seeing his figure, but not his appearance.
Shen Wenxiu knelt down to ask for sin, and said: "Shen Wenxiu, the criminal minister, thinks that he is strong in martial arts, offends the military might of the Celestial Empire, and he has come to ask for sin, hoping that the marshal will be gracious and leave his life alive."
I would like to sacrifice Nanping Pass to atone for my crimes. The guilty minister expressed his sincerity, hoping that the marshal would not think about fatigue and move to Nanping Pass, and the criminal minister had prepared a banquet to comfort the hard work of the soldiers. ”
Xu Meizu said sharply: "Shen Wenwenxiu, you come to know, I know everything." You dare to trick me, clever words to lure me into the customs, design to cause harm, I think of this plan, it must come from the mouth of the Bai family, is there a mistake? ”
When Shen Wenxiu heard this, he was shocked, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he knelt down and said: "Marshal Mingjian, there is no such thing, the villain dares to deceive the marshal, the villain really descends to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang flag is planted on the city wall, and the people wear Tang clothes, and they are dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, and there is no second heart, so I ask the marshal to be gracious." ”
Xu Meizu said: "The traitor doesn't say anything, what's the use of keeping it, to take down Shen Wenxiu, press the flag of the Chinese army, wait for three o'clock in the afternoon, behead him, and sacrifice the commander's flag." ”
Shen Wenxiu wept and said: "The marshal is wronged, and he is wronged." ”
The attendant followed the order and dragged Shen Wen out of the big tent.
Xu Meizu said to the generals: "How are the generals, watching Shen Wenxiu come to meaning." ”
Cheng Hu said: "I'm afraid that there will be fraud in it, so I will lead my soldiers into the city and capture them." ”
Xu Meizu walked out of the curtain and walked back and forth in the tent to think.
Outside the tent, the yellow flag fluttered in the wind, under the flagpole, Shen Wenxiu knelt on the ground with his face north, his hands and feet were tied, a wooden sign was inserted on his back, and he was an executioner on his side, standing with a knife, and Zhao Peng led the troops to guard it.
The frost makes the moon cold and the light is sparse, and the bamboo curtain is lifted in the west window.
The liver and gallbladder life and death are heavy, and the bright moon and clouds are vertical and horizontal.
However, it was said that Bai Shi sent Shen Wenxiu out of Nanping Pass, returned to the General Soldier's Mansion, and slowly walked to the Buddha statue incense case in the hall, stretched out his hand to take it out, the incense burner was burned, three residual incense sticks, and in the sleeve, he took out three white incense sticks, lit and inserted into the incense case, and the new incense burned, and there was colorless smoke.
Bai's palms prayed to the Buddha and begged: "The Buddha opens his eyes, bless my Shen family, capture Zhengyang, and be the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty." ”
Bai's worship of the Buddha for protection, the Buddha's eyes, as if a manifestation, look directly at Bai.
The Bai family has everything, took his son to the city tower, watched the Tang camp, and saw nothing, no movement.
Shen Wenxiu's entourage, hearing that Marshal Tang wanted to behead Shen Wenxiu, fled back to Nanping Pass in panic, and reported to Bai's family: "Mrs. Bao, it's not good." Marshal Tang said that it is known, and the lady's plan. At three o'clock in the afternoon, I want to behead the old man, make his head, and sacrifice the yellow flag. ”
Bai waved his hand and retreated, still watching Tang Ying silently.
Shen Yu said: "Mother, father trapped in the Tang camp, how is it good?" ”
Bai smiled and said: "Yu'er, don't be frightened, Zhengyang Ruo, if you really kill the master, why do you have to wait for three o'clock in the afternoon, this must be, his military advisor Xu Meizu made a plan to deceive me, and then Tan Er's father, whether he really descended to Tang." If the master doesn't spit out my business, there will be no danger. ”
Then he waited for Tang Bing to come.
The autumn wind is sad and the grass is declining, and the red glow is curtain calling, and the frost is white.
The butterfly dream complains about the rainy day, and the roses wither and the sound of cicadas.
Tang Ying, Xu Meizu's heart, a trace of doubt was finally difficult to solve, and he climbed the bamboo platform alone and watched Nanpingguan.
Xu Meizu and Bai looked at it from afar, wanting to see what it was, but they were far apart, and the fog was like a mountain, and they couldn't look at it, the true face of Lushan.
Xu Meizu saw Nanping Pass, the city tower hung the Tang flag high, a piece of harmony, quiet like an elk grazing in the wild, swimming fish floating in the water.
Xu Meizu looked at it for a long time, and the doubts were unsolved, so he walked down the bamboo platform into the big tent and took a map of Nanpingguan to take a closer look.
The generals said: "Nanping Pass is small, there is no need to set up a military array inside, the city falls on the plain, there is no danger of ambush outside, and there is no general who is unable to fight inside. I will plan as I go, lead the troops into the city, and capture Nanping Pass.
Why are the generals like this? ”
The generals said, "Good." ”
Then Xu Meizu passed the order and said: "Sixth brother, General Zhao led 50,000 elite soldiers to enter the customs with me, and those who entered the customs were forbidden, drinking food, and moving after hearing the military order, and capturing the Shen father and son, and the Bai family in one fell swoop." ”
Cheng Hu said: "The fifth brother stays in the camp, if he doesn't see General Zhao after dark, go back to the camp to report the news, the fifth brother quickly collects the troops, returns to Jinling, and invites the second brother to come, there must be no mistakes." ”
Cheng Hu, Zhang Huan, Chu Yingnuo.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Wenxiu knelt under the flag, sweat fell to the ground, closed his eyes and waited for death, not looking forward to the Bai family to pray to God and worship Buddha, only to keep people under the Zhengyang knife. The waiter reported to Zhao Peng, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Peng ordered to be beheaded, and a cannon rang out, and Shen Wenxiu fainted in fear.
Zhao Peng carried it into the big tent and poured cold water on it, Shen Wenxiu woke up and saw that he was in the big tent.
Xu Meizu said from behind the scenes: "Shen Zongbing is true, with a sincere heart, it can be said that he abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and he is a man of the Ming Festival, it is gratifying, I can live up to the general's good intentions, I marched the day before yesterday, suffered from the wind and cold, and it is not convenient for the general to meet him, the general please lead the way, I entered Nanping Pass."
Shen Wenxiu's spirit was initially decided, thanked him for leaving the camp, and ordered people to return to Nanping Pass to prepare for the Tang army.
Xu Meizu stayed with Cheng Hu to guard the camp, and protected a soft sedan chair in the army, in order to replace Zhengyang, and personally accompanied Zhang Huanchu left and right, and Zhao Peng was the front army, and followed Shen Wenxiu to Nanpingguan.
The poem says:
Fighting wits and courage to level life and death, power and cunning snow flying.
Mo laughs at women with less strength, and heroes have bent their waists since ancient times.
The rivers are piling up waves, and the general trend is what to do.
A flat boat drifts all over the world, and the east wind is powerless to let it flow.
Let's say that the attendants returned to the city to report to the Bai clan and welcome the Tang soldiers.
Bai Shi heard that Zhengyang was suffering from the wind and cold, and it was inconvenient to walk, thinking that Zhengyang was hurting the hand of King Yan, and it was true that the serious injury had not healed, and it was false to be affected by the wind and cold.
Xi said: God help me. Then he climbed the city tower to look at it, and soon saw the Tang soldiers out of the camp and went to Nanping Pass.
Bai laughed and sang.
The words say:
Longxi, Longxi, has the ability to follow the clouds. Fengxi, phoenix, has wings hanging to the sky.
Tiger, tiger, has the power of the wind. Zhengyang, Xu Mei
The ancestors will eventually have the ambition to circulate the world, it's a pity! Sad? Dragnet.
After the song, Bai turned around and went down the city tower and returned to the General Soldier's Mansion.
Shen Wenxiu led the Tang soldiers to the north gate, Shen Yu sang and danced to greet him, stepped forward to kneel in front of the soft sedan chair, and said: "Shen Yu, the son of the criminal minister, meet the marshal, the military advisor, offending the tiger, and the capital crime." ”
Xu Meizu said: "The ancients said, people are not sages, who has no fault? After that, it can be changed, and it is very good. The little general was innocent and got up. ”
Then Shen Wenxiu and his son, invited Tang soldiers to enter the city, walked the streets, soldiers, and the people bowed their heads on both sides of the street, and Xu Meizu had no abnormality.
To the General Soldier's Mansion, the Bai family stood at the gate and waited.
Bai saluted and said: "The guilty concubine Bai is late to greet her, the death penalty, the marshal, the military division is like thunder, who doesn't know the land of the three passes, who doesn't hear it." Receiving his teachings today is the supreme blessing of the Bai family. ”
Xu Meizu looked at the Bai family and said: "It is rumored that Mrs. is strategic, and she is more than three points over the man, and I hope that Mrs. will do it in time." ”
Bai's jade changed several times, and said, "No." ”
Then everyone carried the sedan chair into the main hall.
Xu Meizu saw the Buddha statue in the hall, walked closer and looked at it, saw its white fragrance strange, doubted it, and shouted: "Do it." ”
Zhang Huanchu responded to the order, pulled out the sword, and came to capture Shen Wenxiu, Shen Wenxiu saw this scene, fell to the ground softly, Zhang Huanchu held the sword, took two steps, and fainted to the ground, Xu Meizu, Zhao Peng fainted one after another.
This is the Bai family's order, the poisonous incense, this incense Bai's ancestral thing, colorless and tasteless, the smeller is unconscious, 49 days of decay and death, the name is invisible incense.
Shen Yu helped Shen Wenxiu up.
Shen Wenxiu smiled and said: "Madam, she is really a heroine." ”
Bai came straight to the front of the sedan chair, raised the curtain to look at it, there was no one in the sedan car, and the sedan was empty.
Bai Shi was shocked, took two or three steps back, Shen Wenxiu helped him, and Fang stood steady. His face was bloodless, cold sweat flowed, and he said: "How dare a foolish wife be a hero, the sun has not yet arrived, success or failure is undecided, and I don't know what is right or wrong." ”
Shen Yu stretched out his hand to pick it up, Zhang Huan Chu swords, and raised his sword to slash.
Bai said: "Slow." ”
Shen Yu was puzzled and looked at it. Bai said: "General Tang can't be punished at this moment. ”
Shen Wenxiu said: "Why? ”
Bai said: "I was angry, the commander of the Tang Army, Zhengyang, went to Nanpingguan, and wiped it out." However, the will of heaven is unpredictable, Zhengyang Ju Jinling does not come, and half of the matter is done, but it is a big disaster.
This will be Zhengyang's righteous brothers, if he is punished, Zhengyang's thunderous anger, my family of three, I can't bear it, I can stay in Tang General, and Zhengyang will agree, why rush for a while, it's a big deal. ”
Shen Wenxiu said: "What Madame said is very true. "Then Tang will be imprisoned in heaven. Bai replied to his son and said: "Yu'er, tonight when you go out of the customs to attack the Tang camp, the Tang soldiers can break it." Shen Yu promised.
Precisely:
The plum blossoms are cold and fragrant in front of the window, and the guzheng is melancholy at night.
The white clothes fall without a trace, and the snow falls in March to see the spring tide.
However, it was said that Cheng Hu left Xu Meizu, and the camp waited for a reply, only to see that the soldiers would enter the city, Nanping Pass closed the city gate, and returned to the camp without a piece of armor.
Cheng Hu was shocked to take the stage to watch, Nanping Pass was still the same, and the Tang flag was unstable.
Cheng Hu was worried, wandering in the tent, more out to explore the horses, the Bai family used poison to capture him, sunset collected troops and fled, within a few days, into Jinling City.
At this time, Zhengyang's injury was just healing, worried about the matter of Nanpingguan, walked up to the city wall to look at it, and suddenly saw all the way to the city, Zhengyang saw Cheng Hu alone, did not see another general, suspected that something was wrong, and greeted Cheng Hu and said: "How about the fifth brother?" ”
Cheng Hu jumped off the horse, knelt on the ground and wept: "Shen Wenxiu, the chief soldier of Nanping Pass, was surrendered, and the fourth brother led the troops into the pass, and fell into the Bai family's poisonous plan, all of which were captured, and I don't know whether I live or die." ”
Zhengyang helped him and said: "Fifth brother Mo Huang, say it in detail." ”
Cheng Hu then fought with Shen Yu, the Bai family used a plan, Shen Wenxiu pleaded guilty, and Xu Meizu planned and said it one by one.
Zhengyang ordered the drumming to gather the generals, divide the troops and point the generals, so that the royal family Anguo Gong Li Keyong was the lord of Jinling and stayed in Jinling.
The pro-commander soldiers will take Nanping Pass, and there will be two generals of Chu and Han on the left and right.
Shangguan Wenyue heard that Tang soldiers were poisoned, and came to see Zhengyang and said: "Marshal, Wenyue will also go with the army, or relieve the poison of the soldiers." ”
Zhengyang said: "The princess is not afraid of hard work and goes in person, which is the blessing of the soldiers." ”
Then the car went to the official and asked the moon.
The army went out of the south gate of Jinling, and was in a hurry to Nanping Pass, and in less than a day, it went to Nanping Pass, and camped at the north gate. Zhengyang sent someone to report to the Bai clan and meet on the battlefield tomorrow.
When Shen Wenxiu heard that Zhengyang was in person, cold sweat flowed again, took Bai's hand, and said, "Mrs. Zhengyang is here, what is it?" ”
Bai said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, tomorrow the foolish wife will go together, see it."
Tang will be in my hands, not afraid of Zhengyang. ”
Qin Yun's autumn rain blew the sand, and Chu Yuegu snubbed the bamboo curtain.
Zhao Nu danced the feather clothes song, and the prostitute sang Chu Tinghua.
There is nothing to do at night, and tomorrow the two armies will answer before the battle.
Shen Wenxiu and Bai sat in the same car and went to the battlefield to watch it.
Zhengyang, sitting firmly on the dragon horse, the golden gun is horizontal in the carving case, the golden armor is flashing, quietly standing under the handsome flag, the left and right strong generals are standing, looking at the dark color, not angry and mighty.
Shen Wenxiu didn't dare to look at it directly, and the Bai family was also frightened.
Zhengyang said: "You are Shen Wen Xiuhu? ”
Shen Wenxiu said: "The villain is also." ”
Zhengyang replied: "On the side is Mrs. Ru, Bai Shihu?" ”
Bai said: "The cheap concubine is the Bai family." ”
Zhengyang said: "The Southern Tang Dynasty has been destroyed, and the small pass of a county wants to go against the sky?" The Bai family lives in a deep pavilion and does not think about cultivating etiquette. The anti-helper husband disobeyed, interfered with state affairs, and caused the soldiers to suffer, which was the disaster of extermination. Quickly release my generals, bow down and ask for guilt, and you can avoid disaster. ”
Bai Shi bowed down and said: If you see Marshal Long Yan as soon as possible, Bai Shi will dare to make a mistake, the matter has come to this point, and it is too late.
Now the Tang Dynasty will be in my hands, the marshal promised, set up a note, do not take the South Ping Pass, never commit the south, the Bai family dares to return the Tang general, hope that the marshal will be gracious, Xu Zhi. ”
Zhengyang said: "Take me tomorrow, and the soldiers will come to the battlefield." This commander looks at the generals before he can discuss it again. ”
Bai thought so, and Zhengyang transferred the horse back to the camp. Shen Wenxiu, Bai's in-situ view, Zhengyang returned to the camp.
Bai said: This person has a lot of Yan Wang.
Bai sighed and transferred the horse back to the customs, and since then he has been unwell, the tea has not been exhausted, and he has not slept all night. At sunrise, Shen's father and son took the three Tang generals out of the customs to see Zhengyang, Bai's wanted to go, it was inconvenient to walk, and the maids helped them out left and right.
Shen Wenxiu looked at it, Bai's eyes were black, his face was haggard, and he was snow-white and bloodless.
Shen Wenxiu was shocked: "Madam, why is she so sick overnight." Since the jade body is unwell, there is no need to go, and the house is raised. ”
Bai said: "I am conscious, the three souls are free, the body of the five elements, not owned by me, the heart is hanging, the consciousness is clear and confused, this is a bad omen, the old man sees Zhengyang, always vigilant, not far away, Tang Jiang is on the side, cut Tang Shuai to write down the note, vow never to commit Nanping, and then release Tang Jiang, remember, remember." ”
Shen Wenxiu said: "Madame is at ease to recuperate, and I exercise it cautiously." ”
Then Shen Wenxiu and his son led the troops out of the customs and walked to the battlefield, Bai was finally uneasy, so that Yahuan supported him, walked up to the city tower, watched the back of Shen's father and son, his eyelids did not move, and he did not feel that tears flowed from his eyes, teardrops, slid from the city tower, and fell down the bluestone outside the city, like a pearl falling on jade and broken.
The poem says:
The white yarn drifts in the breeze and cold, looking at the autumn geese in the north.
The city tower is lonely and lonely, and the tears and grievances are sprinkled with pearls.
I love the daughter trapped in Fangcheng, and many rare gems are tired of the three armies.
Being smart is mistaken by being smart, and you lose your dreams.
I don't know how to save Tang Jiang, and listen to the next decomposition.
