The cold winter is cold, the wind and snow are bleak, although the weather in the capital city of Chang'an is bad, but the hearts of the people are warm, the literati and scholars from all over the country gather in the main hall of the Confucian Temple to take the exam, the official and the servant Lang Ning Shao first was ordered to invigilate the examination, the examination has been opened at the time, the paper is collected at noon, and a total of 3,793 copies of the examination paper are obtained.

Ning Shaoxian was overjoyed, and hurriedly divided the test papers with the bureaucrats to read them one by one, and ordered to eliminate the dross and leave a splendid view. Late at night, he summoned all the officials and said, "All the adults have already selected your favorite articles?" The crowd said: "We will honor the order of the adults, and each of them will select seventy or eighty good articles that wander unbridled and embroidered with gold knots, and please take a look at them." Ning Shaoxian was overjoyed, and collected all the examination papers handed in by the officials, and obtained 1,974 copies.

Ning Shao said first: "It's still too much, please take a closer look at it and eliminate some more." Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and the exam papers were reviewed. After an hour, the officials handed in the exam papers, and Ning Shao counted them first, and there were still one thousand and eight copies.

Looking at so many exam papers, Ning Shaoxian said: "As long as the king recruits five hundred talents, we still need to screen carefully. Everyone received the order, and each took dozens of exam papers and reviewed them. Ning Shaoxian said: "We not only have to select 500 masterpieces, but also select the top ten to submit to the emperor's imperial review, and the emperor will appoint the champions." ”

Two hours later, everyone kept improving, and then submitted five hundred articles, and Ding Yu, a politician, said: "Xiaguan and others have compared each other, and among the five hundred articles of "Dingding Chang'an Fu", it should be the best article of Zhang Wenxi, who lifts the wind, please take a look." Ning Shaoxian applauded while watching, and said to himself: "It's really a masterpiece." ”

Ning Shaoxian was about to settle the matter, when he suddenly saw Gong Xin scratching his head and ears on the copywriting, and then realized that Gong Xin still had an exam paper in his hand that had not yet been handed in, so he blamed: "Why is Lord Gong so slow? Gong Xin saw that the chief was blaming, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the lower officials read one hundred and twenty articles, and selected thirty-six articles, only this one, the words are amazing, and the rhyme makes people have endless aftertastes. ”

Everyone thinks it's strange, since the rhetoric and rhythm are good, of course they should be chosen, why hesitate? Ning Shao asked first: "But why?" Gong Xin didn't answer, and directly handed the article to Ning Shaoxian and said, "Please decide." ”

Ning Shaoxian looked puzzled and quite surprised, took the article and read it carefully, and his face changed greatly for a while. Ning Shao read the article first, and was surprised and delighted, happy and angry, angry and horrified. Everyone was surprised, and came over one by one to see, but saw Fu and said:

The Chinese Yan Huang Li, the Yan Huang is long, and the Yan Huang is long and ancient.

The sages expanded their territory and the seas were wide, and the king's love was Chang'an.

Chang'an He An is the head of chaos, and the heroes of later generations listen to me.

Xuanyuan dominates the bridge mountain, and the bridge mountain overlooks the south of the mountain.

Feng Ho looked at Zhou Xing, and the Zhou people looked at the king angrily.

The Changle Palace was unhappy with the death of the general, and the Anhan Gong abolished the death of the Han and the widow.

Huang Tianli is overlooked, and the city is full of corpses.

It is too true and glamorous, and the emperor dances, looking back and smiling.

The white head returned to Beijing, and the mountains and rivers were shattered.

Looking down at the top of Licuihua, I saw that the grass on the wall was desolate.

Bashui soup soup went in a hurry, Nanshan Cui Cui Xi fox Suisui.

Where is the thirteen imperial capitals now? The prosperity is gone.

I was worried about singing and singing, and all the princes listened to it.

The gentleman is calm and faint, and the people are prosperous.

There are many days of prosperity and decline in the world, and ordinary people can get it if they ask for Taixi's peace?

Yongchang is not prosperous and does not like it, and Chang'an is uneasy and does not force it.

I am nameless and free, and I will not die for the sake of sacrificing cattle.

There is nowhere to be found, and the king is advised to accept it with respect.

Fan Gong retreated to eternal peace, and the literary species entered and slept for a long time.

I fly high and don't return, and you think about it.

After reading this fu, everyone's faces changed greatly, and then looked at the author's signature, it was Mr. Xiaoyao, Ning Shaoxian said: "This fu is wonderful, ten times better than Zhang Wenxi, but the content is extremely rebellious, and the signature is Mr. Xiaoyao, obviously not the real name, you quickly send someone to track down this person, this official will make a decision with Niu Cheng tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, Ning Shaoxian was about to go out, when he suddenly saw Gong Xin and others come to report: "My lord, we have checked the candidates from all over the country at the post inn, and there is no Mr. Yao." Ning Shao said first: "I know, you are on duty in the ya, and I will go to Prime Minister Niu's mansion." ”

When he arrived at Niufu, Ning Shao first explained his intention and presented this "Dingding Chang'an Fu", Niu Jinxing was also shocked when he saw it, and secretly thought: "This article is sharp in rhetoric and superb in writing, but it ridicules the Dashun New Dynasty, which is very human, I am just going to face the saint, why not give this to the king of the holy judgment." ”

Niu Jinxing hurriedly came to the palace with the examination papers, and it happened that Li Zicheng was discussing the Northern Expedition with the military Song Xiance, Ruhou Liu Zongmin, the general Tang Hai, and Li Yan. ”

Li Zicheng, the king of Dashun, was furious after reading it, threw the test paper to the ground, and shouted: "Bold fanatics, quickly take down this person, show the head to the public, and punish the canon." ”

Niu Jinxing said: "This person left after the exam, and Mr. Xiaoyao is not his real name, I don't know who did it." ”

King Dashun said: "It must be a demon sent by the Ming Dynasty." ”

Liu Zongmin said in a daze: "The king, the corrupt Confucian article, why bother to make such a fire." ”

Li Yan picked up the test paper and read it, shook his head, and handed it to Tang Hai again. Tang Hai carefully read this "Dingdu Chang'an Fu", frowned, thought for a long time, and said: "King, the minister may know this person. ”

Dashun Wang, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Liu Zongmin, and Li Yan were deeply surprised. King Dashun asked, "How did General Tang know this person?" ”

Tang Haidao: "Before the minister's righteousness, he had walked the four seas of Kyushu for more than ten years, and knew a lot of strange people in the rivers and lakes, among which there was a strange person, no name and no surname, the world called 'Ma Xiao', this person is knowledgeable, far-reaching, and quite immortal. Five years ago, when the minister and Cao Impression Mountain were fighting, this person was also there. At that time, the minister thought that the Ming Dynasty was corrupt and brutal, and was no longer worthy of holding the Chinese artifact, and the heroes of the world wanted to make meritorious deeds, and only by killing could they save the world. Cao Yin, on the contrary, believed that the killing was brutal and contrary to the way of heaven, and he was determined to strictly enforce the law and reorganize the dynasty to save the people. For this reason, the two of us fought on the elephant mountain, and the water and fire were incompatible. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zongmin laughed and said: "Why does General Tang have the fighting spirit to fight with such a pedantic old man, if he wants me to slaughter him with a knife, it will inevitably lead to a dispute of tongues." ”

King Dashun said: "Cao Yin received the Tongtian Wat from Emperor Guangzong, and thought that he could save the world, and he was busy for half his life and achieved nothing, but although this person is stupid, he is also a clean official." ”

Li Yan said: "This person is a rare enlightened minister in the Ming court. ”

Song Xiance said: "It's a pity that I don't know the current affairs, and I am stupid and loyal to the faint king." ”

Niu Jinxing said: "He was repeatedly excluded in the court, extremely unwilling, forced by traitorous ministers, and tearfully beheaded his beloved disciples Jing Kui, Jing Ying, Jing Si, Jing Fei, and later, his mother starved to death on the street, and he was also imprisoned, which is very pitiful. ”

King Dashun said: "General Tang, the fighting spirit of the two of you, what happened later?" ”

Tang Haidao: "Later, Ma Xiao's prophecy and Cao Yin's ambitions were both delusional, and it was difficult to succeed. He thought that the world was governed by heaven, chaos was also heavenly, salvation was heavenly, and killing was heavenly. ”

"Could it be that this "Dingding Chang'an Fu" was made by Ma Xiao?" Song Xiance looked at Tang Hai.

Tang Hai picked up the test paper and read: "I am nameless and comfortable, and I don't die for sacrificing cattle, judging from the content of this endowment, I think it's him." "Suddenly, I was secretly surprised, thinking that he didn't see his figure after a fight on the elephant mountain, and it was said that he should have died in the melee, but why did he appear here again......"

"Horse laughing?" Dashun Wang, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Liu Zongmin, and Li Yan were surprised at the same time. Tang Hai's eyes were slightly closed, and he nodded, although he didn't speak, his expression was extremely confident. Liu Zongmin was furious: "Okay, this thief is arrogant, I will send someone to search for him, catch him, and I will skin him with my own hands." King Dashun also gritted his teeth and hated endlessly.

Tang Haidao: "What a 'thief' word, General Liu's thief word, let me understand Ma Xiao's kindness." ”

King Dashun's face was unhappy, and he asked, "This thief slandered our dynasty, why did General Tang say that he had good intentions?" ”

Tang Haidao: "King Qiyu, although this Fu ridiculed the rise and fall of the kings of the past dynasties, but did not predict the end of our dynasty, a closer look at the full text, there seems to be a sense of persuasion between the writings, I hope that our dynasty will learn from the rise and fall of the past dynasties, treat the common people well, and protect the eternal life." ”

Li Zicheng was still unhappy, and said: "That is the case, when you come to see Gu in person, show your kindness, as long as the words are true, Gu will adopt them, and this time I came to take the exam, and I didn't sign it, but what does it mean?" ”

Tang Haidao: "The heroes of the world, each with their own ambitions, Ma Xiaozhi is at ease, unwilling to be bound by the court's etiquette, but he can't bear to suffer from the common people in the world, so he does this law, his good intentions, and I hope the king will understand." ”

King Dashun smiled a little again and asked: "When Gu takes the world, is Tang Aiqing willing to recruit Cao Yin and Ma Xiao into the court as officials for Gu Zhao?" ”

Tang Haidao: "The minister is willing to persuade him in person." ”

Li Zicheng was overjoyed and said: "That is the case, this time I only took the first place, and did not point to the champion, the title of the champion is vacant and waiting for Ma Xiao." Tang Hai was overjoyed, knelt on the ground and bowed, and said, "King Shengming." ”

Song Xiance said: "King, this matter has been decided, let's discuss the Northern Expedition plan again, the Northern Expedition is related to the safety of the world, and we must not be careless." ”

King Dashun said: "The soldiers are fast, and they must not give the Ming Dynasty a chance to kick their breath, and they will go north within ten days, what do the ministers want?" ”

Song Xiance said: "The king is wise, the Ming Dynasty has existed in name only, there are almost no soldiers in the pass, there are only tens of thousands of Guanning troops in Liaodong Shanhaiguan, guarding the main road for the Qing soldiers to enter the customs, and they can't evacuate, Huguang and Sichuan have been troubled by Zhang Xianzhong to take care of themselves, Chongzhen Xiaoer is already alone, and the king will be able to win all the victories." ”

Tang Haidao: "Although the Ming army in the Guannai is not a climate, if the scattered troops from all over the country are gathered together, it is enough to defend the capital." The king can send a partial division from Henan to the north, sweep away the remnants of the official army, capture Hebei, and besiege Beijing in the south. Long live the pro-unification army from Shanxi to capture Juyong Pass, north siege Beijing, so, the capital will be broken. ”

Song Xiance said: "The king from Shanxi is in response to the proverb: 'If you want to go to the clouds, start from Yanmen Pass.'" ’”

King Dashun was overjoyed and said: "In this way, according to General Tang's plan, it will be divided into two ways." ”

Li Yan said: "The minister is willing to lead the army from Henan to the north, and he must clear the surroundings of Beijing and contain the reinforcements of King Qin from all over the country." ”

King Dashun said: "General Li is resourceful and can give advice by his lonely side, and as for the partial teacher, Liu Fangliang can take on this responsibility." ”

Niu Jinxing said: "General Liu is wise and brave, but there is a lack of strong generals under his command, General Tang's brothers are all brave and can fight well, and the minister suggested that General Tang's subordinates Guoyi General Ala Tai and the mighty general Siren assist General Liu in the Northern Expedition, so that it will be foolproof." ”

King Dashun waved his hand and said: "If it doesn't work, this method is good, it's just that everyone in the world knows that General Tang's eighteen brothers live and die together, and their righteousness is thin and cloudy, how can loneliness win people's love?" ”

Niu Jinxing said: "It's okay to capture Beijing and let Liu Fangliang return the second general to General Tang." ”

King Dashun still shook his head: "No, no!" ”

Listening to the words of King Dashun and Niu Jinxing, Tang Hai was slightly shocked, but then smiled and said, "Why not?" My eighteen brothers defected to the king, all of whom were the king's soldiers, and as long as they could kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, they were all dispatched by the king. ”

King Dashun was overjoyed and said: "General Tang is really an enlightened and righteous man, and after his success, I will let Liu Fangliang return your second general." ”

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, on the first day of February in the first year of Yongchang, Li Zicheng, the king of Dashun, ordered Liu Fangliang to lead five generals, Ala Tai, Siren, Dang Shousu, Zhang Shijie and Liu Tichun, to lead an army of 200,000 people out of Taihang Mountain in the west, enter the south of the river, go north to attack the Ming, and the military peak pointed directly at Beijing. Li Zicheng personally commanded an army of 800,000 to cross the Yellow River from Hejin to the east, from Shanxi to Yanmen Pass, to take Datong and Juyong Pass, and to point out the Tingjing Division from the north to the south. The two armies are attacking from the north to the south, looking at Jiuding, and they are determined to win.

Li Zicheng, the king of Dashun, issued a military order: "Kill the rebel and not kill the Shun, and kill the rich but not the poor." ”

After capturing Houma City, Li Zicheng divided the army into three: Tang Hai led 100,000 troops as the East Route Army, attacked Qinshui, took Zezhou and Gaoping, cut Luzhou, and went north to Taiyuan. Liu Zongmin led an army of 100,000 to force Ji County, Xiaxi County, Jiaokou, north to Fenzhou, east to Taiyuan. Li Zicheng, the king of Dashun, led an army of 600,000 to take Huozhou and Jiexiu, and the soldiers pointed to Taiyuan, Xinzhou and Daizhou.

Along the way, the people greeted each other, offered wine and food, and vied with each other to praise the Dashun army for "not killing" and "exempting from levies", and the officers and soldiers defending the city killed the officials, opened the door to welcome the teacher, and the army and the people were happy.

Tang Hai led the army to Qinshui City, and Zhang Huai, the defender of Qinshui, was afraid of the strength of the Dashun army and held on without fighting. Duan Qidao: "Qinshui City, it is not difficult to attack it, but now that the people's hearts are towards Dashun, we might as well surround it for the time being, and attack the heart first, maybe in a few days, Qinshui City can surrender without a fight." Liu Jia said: "What the military advisor said is that while we are besieging the city, we are sending troops to the countryside to attack the rich bullies who are doing evil, collect the hearts of the people, and collect grain and grass. Tang Hai nodded yes, and then sent Lin Yuan, Wolf Ba, Zhang Chuan, Qiuguang, and Lu Qi to take 5,000 men and horses into various towns and villages to arrest large landlords, open warehouses and bulk grain, divide fields, collect horses and grain and grass, and ordered Shanyong, Shi'an, Yeyang, Wang Feng, and Wang Yu to lead an army of 20,000 to the east to capture Zezhou, Gaoping, and Luzhou.

Sure enough, as Duan Qi expected, a few days later, the cities of Zezhou, Gaoping, and Luzhou were broken, and the Qinshui defenders saw that the rescue was hopeless, and the people in the territory attached themselves to the righteous army, knowing that the general trend had gone, and had to open the door to surrender.

Tang Hai led the army to Gaoping, and decided to rest for a day before setting off, and suddenly saw a report from Jinzi: "Wu Liang, the big landlord of Changping Village outside Gaoping City, entangled with the village Yong, and defeated more than 1,000 Ming troops to guard the danger, and did not allow the righteous army to enter the village, and killed more than 200 soldiers of our righteous army." Ye Yang said angrily: "I will lead five hundred people to bring Wu Liang's head. Tang Hai said: "Wait." After a pause, he said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

Xiaolong said: "Why do you need the general to go to such a trivial matter. Tang Haidao: "Being idle is also idle, it's better to walk outside the city." Ye Yang said with a smile: "Heh, the marshal wants to enjoy the scenery, but what is there to see in this barren mountain and wild mountains." ”

Tang Hailiu Duan Qi, Shi'an, Lin Yuan, and Wolf Ba led the army to stay in the city to rest, and since the five generals of Xiaolong, Liujia, Zhangchuan, Wang Feng, and Jinzi, they came to Changping Village with 2,000 men and horses.

Liu Jia said: "Look at this camp, this person still knows some art of war. ”

Jin Zidao: "According to the surrounding people, Wu Liang was originally a general under the command of the Shanxi General Army of the Ming Dynasty, brave and strategic, just because he was upright, although he had military exploits, he was repeatedly not promoted, so he resigned and returned to his hometown." ”

Tang Haidao: "In this way, we must not underestimate the enemy. ”

Xiaolong said: "What are you afraid of, I will capture him in an hour." ”

Tang Haidao: "Don't be reckless, first surround the four gates of the camp, and wait for me to carefully investigate the surrounding terrain before thinking of a good way to break the enemy." ”

Wu Liang has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, known as "the first in Jinnan", and heard that there were rebels coming to harass him, so he took a group of brothers to investigate. Xia Hu, the head of the imperial court who fled from Luoyang, recognized Tang Hai in the village, and pointed to the righteous army and said: "Wu Haohan, the leader under the village is Tang Hai, known as the 'world's first thief' under the seventeen brothers are heroes, he led the army to come, we can't be careless." ”

Wu Liang was shocked when he heard this: "Brother Xia Hu, are you sure it's him?" ”

Xia Hu said: "When the thief army conquered Luoyang, it was his subordinates who captured King Fu, and I was hiding in King Fu's mansion at the time, so I knew him." ”

Wu Liang said happily: "Great, I caught Tang Hai, I will be famous all over the world, at that time, the mediocre ministers of the court will definitely hold the handsome seal and respectfully invite me to come out of the mountain, haha." ”

Xia Hu said: "The enemy is outnumbered, how can a hero catch him?" ”

Wu Liang said: "I have my own clever plan. ”

Staying late at night, Wu Liang woke up Xia Hu and said, "Please help me, general." ”

Xia Hu didn't wake up from sleep, and asked dimly, "What do you do?" ”

Wu Liang said: "Capture Tang Hai alive." ”

Xia Hu was shocked, looked out and said, "It's so dark, how can I help you?" Could it be that the general wants to sneak attack the thieves at night? ”

Wu Liang said: "Exactly." ”

Xia Hu said: "The enemy is outnumbered, isn't the sneak attack asking for hardship?" ”

Wu Liang said: "Although there are 2,000 thieves, he is besieged on all sides, and there are only 500 in each gate. ”

Xia Hu said: "The thieves are besieged by four gates, how do you know which gate Tang Hai is in?" ”

Wu Liang smiled: "What's so difficult about this, I'll know with a little trick." ”

Wu Liang raised the tent, gathered nine leaders to discuss the matter, and ordered: "You leave fifty people at each gate to guard the gate of the village, and the rest of the people are all gathered in the center of the village to wait for dispatch." He also said to Xia Long: "Please ask the general to write four letters of surrender to Tang Hai, Yan Wuliang mantis arm block the car to bring about his own destruction, the general is willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, agree to open the north gate of the camp tomorrow, and ask Tang Hai to lead the army to attack the village." ”

Xia Hu exclaimed: "What does Wu Haohan mean by this? The younger brother and the thief do not share the sky, and they swear not to surrender. ”

Wu Liang said with a smile: "The general is loyal, how can Wu Liang not know that the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, and the general will do it." ”

Xia Hu was helpless, so he had to thank Wu Liang for four letters. Wu Liang handed it over to the four leaders and said: "Each of the four of you will take a letter of surrender to the east, south, west, and north gates, and shoot the letter to the thieves, and then observe the movement to see if there are any thieves riding out of the camp and which direction they have gone?" If you have any news, let me know as soon as possible. ”

After the leaders left, Wu Liang asked Xia Hu to sit down and drink, picked up the wine jug with his left hand, and said with a smile on his right finger to the jug: "The general Hugh blames Wu for being stingy, drinking tonight, only this pot, so as not to get drunk and make mistakes, and when Tang Hai is captured, I will invite the general to have a good drink tomorrow." ”

Xia Hu was inexplicable and asked: "What is the hero's plan, let's talk about it quickly, don't let Xia Hu panic." ”

Wu Liang laughed, but he didn't say anything, and pulled Xia Hu to drink. After a while, four leaders returned, and three of them reported: "After the book was shot, I saw some people in the thief's camp riding to the south gate." The other said: "The subordinates ordered the people to shoot the book of surrender to the south gate, and saw the thief on duty from a distance to take the book back to the camp, and after a while, three fast horses came and also entered the camp of thieves." ”

Wu Liang was overjoyed and said: "Go, open the south gate, and capture the world's first thief tonight." ”

Xia Hu then woke up: "The eastern, northern, and western thieves will see the surrender letter, and they must fly to report to the thief leader Tang Hai to decide, since the three guards will send the surrender letter to the south gate, it means that Tang Hai is in the south gate camp, clever plan, clever plan." Oops, the martial arts heroes are not only excellent in martial arts, but also resourceful, Xia Hu is ashamed of himself, ashamed of himself! ”

Wu Liang laughed and asked Xia Hu: "Two thousand thieves surround me, each gate is only five hundred, I lead 1,200 people to raid today, can it be successful?" ”

Xia Hu said happily: "The martial arts man's clever plan is the best in ancient and modern times, how can it not be done!" ”

Wu Liang laughed and said, "I hope that General Xia will help me achieve this great achievement." ”

Xia Hu bowed and said, "I am willing to listen to the orders of the heroes." ”

Half an hour later, the south gate in the darkness quietly opened, and Wu Liang and Xia Hu led 300 cavalry and 900 infantry to the Tanghai camp with great vigour, shouting "Capture the thief alive!" "When the vigilantes saw the enemy's sneak attack, they hurriedly beat drums and shouted, and for a while the camp was in turmoil. Wu Liang and Xia Hu rushed to the front of the camp and ordered the sergeants to push open the wooden pole fence of the gate of the village, and everyone poured in like a tide.

Wu Liang and Xia Hu led the crowd to break into the Tanghai camp, but they found that it was quiet inside, and they couldn't help but be shocked. Wu Liang said: "Strange! Xia Hu panicked: "It's not good, it's a trick." Suddenly, I heard the sound of killing outside, and a leader came to report: "There are ambushes outside." Wu Liang led the crowd back to the Tanghai camp, only to see that he had been surrounded, and one of the generals rode on a horse and shouted: "Wu Liang, Xia Hu, I am the mighty general of the Great Shun Kingdom, Xiaolong, you two can't hide the little skills of carving insects from my general, and you can avoid death by surrendering quickly." ”

Wu Liang was ashamed and angry, and scolded: "Dead Tang Hai, I'll fight with you." As he spoke, he led the crowd to kill the past, but was stopped by Zhang Chuan and Wang Feng, and the soldiers on both sides fought each other. After fighting for half an hour, Wu Liang was captured by Shan Yong, Xia Hu was tied up by Tang Xi, other leaders and Xiang Yong, officers and soldiers were killed or captured, Zhang Chuan, Qiu Guang, and Lu Qi led the army to take the opportunity to attack the opponent's camp, and stayed until dawn, and Changping Village was all occupied by the Dashun army.

Everyone escorted Wu Liang over, and Tang Hai asked: "Tang Haiwen General is brave and good at fighting, but he has been repeatedly calculated by villains, and he is depressed in the Ming court, and he returns to his hometown in anger. Wu Liang said: "I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, and the people are the people of the Ming Dynasty. Tang Haidao: "You are a loyal person, you should know the interests and disadvantages, think that Cao Yin is also as loyal and patriotic as you, and now you are being put in prison by the faint king, why don't you take it as a warning!" Listen to my good words, and if you descend to the great shun as soon as possible, you will have a great future. Wu Liang said: "Tang Hai, kill me quickly, I, Wu Liang, will never surrender." Tang Hai said: "Tang Hai's evil sword only kills the evil and does not kill the loyal and good, you don't surrender, go by yourself, generals, loosen the ties." ”

Wang Feng cut the rope with a knife and shouted, "Get out!" ”

The sergeants brought Xia Hu again, and Tang Hai asked, "No?" Xia Hu knelt down and said: "The last general has heard the name of General Tang early, and he has always meant to return to obedience, and it was the last general who shot the book to the general last night." The last general planned to be an internal response, and opened the north gate this morning to welcome the general, but in the middle of the night, he was kidnapped by Wu Liang and came to rob the camp. Tang Hai said angrily: "You villain, it is clear that Wu Liang designed the book of surrender for you to write, intended to find out which camp I am in, but you used this matter to invite merit and reward, come to someone, and push it out and behead." Zhang Zhou and Wang Feng got the order, and forcibly dragged Xia Hu out and beheaded him.

As soon as Xia Hu was killed, Wu Liang broke into the tent again, and Zhang Chuan asked, "What are you doing when you come back?" Wu Liang said: "I don't know something, so I'm here to ask what happened." Tang Hai smiled: "Please speak." Wu Liang said: "How do you know that I am going to come to the South Gate camp tonight to attack." The generals laughed when they heard this, and Tang Hai said: "This is a secret, and you are not my general Dashun, so I can't tell you." Wu Liang gritted his teeth and said, "You tell me, I will descend to you." Tang Haidao: "Really? Wu Liang said: "The big husband is hard to chase after him. Tang Hai said with a smile: "If Xia Hu really wants to be an internal response, he will definitely send someone out of the village to talk to me secretly, how can he shoot an arrow to drop the book?" If I don't believe it, won't it be in vain for him to open the north gate this morning? Moreover, last night, the east, west, south, and north doors shot at the same time, indicating that Xia Hu has bought off the guards of the four gates, I guess, if he has the heart to betray you, he only needs to buy one guard, besides, the four doors are bought, it is incredible, hehehehe......"

Wu Liang listened to it and was convinced, and bowed: "General Tang really lives up to his reputation, and Wu Liang is willing to surrender." ”

Tang Hai was overjoyed, helped Wu Liang up, and said: "General Wu is brave and strategic, and my Dashun country needs a talent like a general." ”
