Chapter 68 67

Tang Hanlin's face was pale, seven oarsmen drove the shadowless boat, quickly rowed to the Xuanyi Wei land camp on the shore, it could be reached in a moment, for safety, when the Xuanyi established the camp, he re-chose a position that was conducive to attack and defense, and the distance from the shore was outside the range of conventional bows and arrows, but it was not very far, in order to prevent the height advantage of the land rocks, the camp was actually a gentle slope beach, and when the tide was high and the tide was low, if there was a transport ship to rush the stall, it was not easy to have problems.

Another advantage of the gently sloping beach is that even if it is dark and the view is not good, it is easy to enter and exit by small sampans and other sea boats.

In case the land camp falls, the sergeants of Xuanyiwei retreat to the beach, once they retreat into the sea, because they float in the sea, the line of sight is very low, and most of them will not be killed immediately, because the sea will also block the pursuers, and at the same time, the wide sea surface is convenient for the Xuanyi to cover the battlefield line of sight or fire coverage.

Tang Hanlin, with lofty ideals, wanted to rush to the land camp as soon as possible to persuade those "fishermen" to put down the slaughter.

"If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell", "The way of a gentleman is only loyalty and forgiveness", "People's hearts are exchanged for eight taels for half a catty"

These words and images kept coming and going in Tang Hanlin's mind, inspiring his courage.

"I'm not alone, and there are seven oarsmen, and they're coming with me." \/\/ "Zeng Zi said: Scholars can't not be Hongyi, and there is a long way to go." Benevolence is its own responsibility, isn't it also important? Death is gone, isn't it far away? "\/\/" Zeng Zi said: You can support the loneliness of six feet, you can send a hundred miles of life, and you can't take it away when you are on the big day. Gentleman and man? Gentlemen too. "\/\/" Zi said: Men with lofty ideals are benevolent, there is no survival to harm benevolence, and there is killing to become benevolence. Until this sentence poured out, all the irritability immediately stopped.

Tang Congrong even remembered the scene when he listened to the teacher's teachings, at that time, the spirit was high, and it was fascinating.

On that day, it was after a gust of autumn rain, the master actually came out with them for the last time, in Wangjing Terrace, the mountains are stacked, and the master, who has been inconvenient to move for a long time, pushed away the maid beside him, stood up, and actually climbed more than a dozen steps, to the pavilion of Wangjing Terrace, under the Wangjing Terrace, the winding river reflected the light, the master looked at it for a long time, and said to himself:

"Calm, calm, the word calm, it's really rare.

The teacher is already old.

I remember when I was enlightened to my teacher, my teacher asked me why I still need to go to school, so why do you still need to go to school, if you know that it is very difficult, very hard, and very boring?

I said, if I don't go to school, my father will beat me. ”

At this time, the escort next to him and Tang Congrong smiled innocently and friendly.

The Master looked at everyone:

I know that everyone is perfunctory to me, and to echo me.

But thank you for looking up to me as an old man.

Master Meng said, the sky does not give birth to Zhongni, and the eternity is as long as the night.

If a man does not know etiquette, how is he different from a beast?

Zi said: People with lofty ideals are benevolent, there is no survival to harm benevolence, there is killing to become benevolent.

How magnificent it is for a man to have a heart of righteousness.

Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go.

After speaking, the master sat down on the Taishi's chair and turned into an immortal.

What courage, what a magnanimity, what a magnificence. ”

The Shadowless Boat was about to rush to the stall, Tang Hanlin straightened his clothes, waited until the Shadowless Boat had just run aground, took the lead in the crotch of the Shadowless Boat, stood in the knee-level seawater, and said to the seven oarsmen:

"Colleagues, these fishermen are deeply affected by the war, they are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, we were originally here to save the Han people, and now, because of some misunderstandings, the fishermen and Xuan Yiwei have clashed, no matter who dies, they are the heirs of the Han family.

I believe that there is no deep hatred among them, convincing people with virtue, treating them with etiquette, turning them into foreign countries, and still obeying righteousness.

As for us reading the books of the sages, cultivating benevolence and righteousness, cultivating Qi and governing peace, and stabilizing the country and the country, how can the disciples of the saints seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, Zi said: Men with lofty ideals and benevolent people, there is no survival to harm benevolence, there is killing to become benevolent.

If the war starts, Xuan Yiwei of the forest people, the firearms are fierce and brutal, and in an instant, whether it is Xuan Yiwei or my fishermen in Hongguanya, the jade will be burned.

This will inevitably damage our relationship with the people.

Everyone, this time, endure humiliation, give the teachings of the saints, save the people from fire and water, I and the princess, and have honor! ”

After speaking, give a deep salute.

The seven oarsmen also gave a deep salute: "I am willing to attach to the Hanlin Ji tail to travel thousands of miles, sacrifice my life for righteousness, and live up to the teachings of the saints." ”

......

Tang Hanlin was volunteering with seven oarsmen, Xuan Yiwei commanded Tu Xicai, helmsman Fei Zhushan, Hongguanya militia representative capital head Hongshan Hong Haijing, and a chief, and a few people who had already taken off their clothes - suspected to be Xuanyiwei's land camp soldiers, or oarsmen, more than 30 people in front and behind, were struggling in the sea.

Tu Xicai saw Tang Hanlin's clothes, and hurriedly shouted: "Tang Hanlin, don't move forward, stop quickly, prepare to retreat, and struggle to take off your clothes as you speak."

Loose clothes carry water, which greatly affects the progress.

Tang Hanlin also shouted: "Commander Tu doesn't need to worry, I'll persuade the fishermen." ”

Tu Xicai said while swimming with difficulty: "No, by all means, they have been led by some people's agitation, and now they have completely mutinied, whoever wants not to do it, others will kill their own people first." If a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Tang Hanlin, your identity is respected, and you must not be in danger. ”

The fishermen on the shore were already fighting for the food, tents, and all kinds of things inside, and some of them picked up weapons to chase and kill Xuan Yiwei's land battalion soldiers, but because they hadn't eaten for a long time, although they were fierce, their strength was very bad, and they ran too fast, and they had to pant and rest their feet after running a few steps, which gave Tu Xicai and others a chance to escape.

Tang Hanlin smiled and said, "Commander Tu, you don't need to worry, we are asking for the people's lives, and the Venerable Master also said, give us a shadowless boat, come quickly, if the persuasion is successful, we will be considered a great achievement." You see, there are seven scholars, saints, disciples, we are coming together, you need not be afraid, we will be able to comfort these victims later......"

Tu Xicai said worriedly: "If the Venerable Master sent you to us, I believe it, but if you say that you will come and persuade the victims, I will feel crazy." ”

At this time, four large and small sampans had already broken through the waves, two were on guard behind the shadowless boat, and two directly rushed to Tu Xicai and Hongshan.

These sampans can hold ten to twenty people each, but twenty people are very heavy, and sea boats are no better than inland river boats, because the waves are large, and if the load is too much, it is easy to capsize.

Four sampans, in fact, each in size, no two are the same, but the two slightly smaller ones, parked in the distance, the two larger ones, rushed over, and then took a closer look, the sampan that could carry more than 20 people, rushed straight towards Tu Xicai, the ship had not yet run aground, and a person on the boat stood up: "Serve the order of the person himself, pick up the remnants of the Xuanyi Guard to board the ship, and all the Xuanyi Guards will identify themselves and board the ship immediately."

The ship had just run aground, and two Xuanyi guard soldiers stood on the sampan, holding two crossbows, and another soldier, holding two air death lanterns made of tung oil Koryo paper in one hand, jumped into the sea, and walked in the direction of Tu Xicai.

They advanced extremely fast, and soon the one with the lantern walked ten steps away from Tu Xicai, and shouted: "Identify yourself!" ”

Tu Xicai immediately raised his hands above his head: "Xuan Yiwei commands Tu Xicai." ”

The one with the lantern walked a few steps and saw Tu Xicai's face clearly: "Sure enough, it is Commander Tu, the staff department was ordered to rescue the remnants of the Xuanyi Guard to escape, please board the ship quickly." ”

Tu Xicai said: "Okay"

Then the lantern continued to walk forward, and Tu Xicai reacted and asked, "I'll take you there."

The sergeant with the lantern said: "Commander Tu, the headquarters has been ordered to search and rescue, you have been fighting for a while, you must be tired, get on the boat, lest you lose your strength for a while, and we will have to do repetitive work." ”

Tu Xicai said: "It's okay, Xuan Yiwei started with the master, and the officer didn't leave the sergeant and run first." ”

The sergeant with the air lamp said, "Well, you need to distribute your physical strength carefully. ”

Tu Xicai said: "I know, everyone on the shore knows me, so it can reduce the screening time." ”

The sergeant holding the air lamp said: "It's Commander Tu who has a high opinion, a certain Meng Lang, and Commander Xie Tu is sympathetic." ”

While he was talking, Fei Zhishan and a few other soldiers shook their legs and feet and ran over, and Tu Xicai shouted directly: "Tu Xicai, I'm Tu Xicai, move closer to me." ”

Two soldiers with crossbows, their eyes wary, until Tu Xi confirmed one, and then allowed to walk towards the sampan behind him.

Fei Zhishan panted:

"Commander Tu, you must leave immediately, there are bows and crossbows in the shore camp, at least two Shi team equipment, there will also be fire Yasha Shi team equipment, auxiliary soldiers and Shi team supplies.

They won't use repeaters, but they will definitely use bowbows.

There were at least three or four people in the Fire Yaksha group who hadn't left just now, and some of them would use the Fire Yaksha, and once they forced the Fire Yaksha team to attack the Xuanyi, the consequences would be unimaginable.

There are too many of them, and now they are fighting for food, and after a while the food is gone, it is time to grab the boat. ”

When Tu Xicai's team began to move towards the sampan, they had already picked up seven or eight people, three of whom were injured, all wounded, bitten, smashed, slashed, slashed, several people supported each other, fled to the sampan, and the sergeant with the air death lamp was more than 20 steps behind the formation, and two crossbowmen also followed him, guarding behind him.

Tu Xicai held the helmsman Fei Zhushan, Fei Zhushan is also an old fritter, although his body looks bloody, but it is all epidermal injuries, but when the sea water stung, he still has a painful mouth and crooked eyes: "Commander Tu, Tang Hanlin came to pick us up, but he is a man." ”

Tu Xicai said: "It seems that he didn't come to pick us up, as if he came to comfort those mobs?" ”

Fei Zhishan was taken aback and shocked: "Oh, Tang Hanlin, it's really noble, loyal, and it's a pity not to be an emperor." Well, no, now in the Enemy Intelligence Committee, the Venerable Master seems to value him very much, and he can also be regarded as an emperor. But would the people of Lin really do this? ”

Tu Xicai was also trembling, the sea water was still cold, and he took off his clothes again: "It's all... Be... Robe, what kind of wind... Cool... Speech. ”

......

Tang Hanlin's team all jumped into the water, and a small sampan behind it came up in an instant, and on the sampan, a captain said: "Tang Hanlin, have you thought about going ashore?" If it's confirmed, the search and rescue team is now going to take the Shadowless Boat back to the rescue team, you have an hour to go, no, it's less than seven quarters now. If you don't come ashore, we can take you back to the Xuanyi. ”

Tang Hanlin said: "I have made up my mind, how can I turn back when I open the bow!" ”

On the sampan, a paddler tied the shadowless boat with a rope.

Wu Chang hesitated for a moment, and then said with difficulty: "Tang Hanlin, the Venerable Master is furious, let me tell you the truth, when you go into the water, the Venerable Master instructed that after an hour, as long as there is a sentence on the shore that Xuan Yiwei's body has not come back to life, you will ask the fire yaksha to cover the sniper, and not a single one will be allowed to slip through the net. You should know that this kind of movement, according to my dynasty's system, is a proper mob people knocking camp, no, it's not a knocking camp, it's an attack and killing, attacking and killing. Well, we don't know why they did. ”

Tang Hanlin said: "Even you feel that something is wrong, there must be a reason, and when we are still using soldiers, they are all fathers and villagers, fishermen, I don't believe that they are violent people, the way of the saint is the right way, since you want to establish a new dynasty, wealth and danger are sought, I don't go to hell who goes to hell." Besides, after they ate, drank, and took it, after a while, their hearts and blood calmed down, and it was naturally easy to discuss. However, I still want to thank you for your heartfelt words, and you are polite here. ”

Wu Chang's face was flushed by Tang Hanlin's words, and it was not good to speak, scold, joke, or sad, for a while, he might feel that thousands of alpacas had stepped on it in his heart. I didn't even know what to say.

Tang Hanlin saw that Wu Chang was excited, speechless, comforted in his heart, and said with a smile: "Holding hands and looking at tears, I was speechless and choked. Thinking of going, thousands of miles of smoke waves, twilight is heavy and the sky is wide. I also think that Liu Sanbian's poem depicts this situation very well, but the result must be a stable country, so don't worry. ”

At this time, the other sampan that picked up people in front also picked up four or five people, rowed over, and the commander said to Tu Xicai: "Commander Tu, we have received a fire yaksha group, a company crossbowmen, two auxiliaries, and a person who claims to be the head of the Hongguanya militia. ”

One of the auxiliaries put down another and slapped Hongshan, the head of the Hongguanya militia, in the face: "You are a murderer of a thousand knives, my brother kindly prepared meals for your people, and the tent was actually dragged off by your people!! ”

In the grief and indignation of the auxiliaries, everyone saw that under the coat on the other auxiliary, the ** between the legs was actually dragged off.

[Note: In a particular cannibalistic culture, in addition to being full, the privileged class also take pleasure in eating, an organ that is said to enhance reproductive function.]

Hongshan, the head of the Hongguanya militia, was shocked when he saw it: "This is not our people's doing, and it is definitely not the fishermen of our village who did it." ”

The auxiliaries were already going mad, and they smashed it with another punch......

Tang Hanlin said: "Stop, how can such a crazy act be done by poor fishermen?!" ”

The auxiliary soldier was really crazy, and he sneered and sneered: "Tang Han Lin Mo is not blind, is my brother's lifeline dragged off by himself?" ”

Then he drew the saber from his waist......

Tu Xicai saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately shouted: "Control him!" ”

The lieutenant kicked the auxiliary in the head, and the auxiliary was even too mad to notice the captain's foot, but his head was kicked to the side, and he ran into the boat gang again, fainted, and the saber clanged and landed in the cabin.

Tu Xicai's face was not good: "Tang Hanlin, I think you should return to the Xuanyi with the ship immediately." ”

Tang Hanlin was inspired by his sacred feelings: "You go back quickly, I will ask for the people's life." The virtue of the saint, the virtue is born! ”

Tu Xicai's emotions became more and more excited: "Ask for your life for the people? Pedantic and broad, does Tang Hanlin want to emulate Song Xianggong's benevolence? ”

[Note: Song Xianggong's benevolence, from "Zuo Chuan: The Twenty-second Year of Duke Xu": "The Song people have become columns, and the Chu people have not been rich. Sima said: 'He is outnumbered, and he is not even able to help, please attack him. He said, "No." 'It is not listed, but it is also informed. He said, 'No. 'After Chen and then attacked, the Song division was defeated. ”

Song Xianggong's benevolence is a very typical historical allusion, which says that Song Xianggong, one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, failed in the battle with Chu because he insisted on his "benevolence and righteousness" tactics, and since then, people have called Song Xianggong's tactical thinking "Song Xiangzhiren".

Due to the promotion needs of later dynasties, inner saints and outer kings and benevolent and righteous thoughts, this allusion is generally refrigerated. 】

[Note: The incident happened in the twenty-second year of the reign of Lu Xu, that is, in 638 BC;

The Chu people attacked the Song state to rescue the Zheng state.

Song Xianggong, one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, was ready to fight, but the great Sima Gu dissuaded: "Heaven has abandoned our descendants of the Shang Dynasty for a long time, and you want to revive it, which is against Heaven and cannot be pardoned." Song Xianggong didn't listen.

Song Xianggong received the letter that the Chu army was attacking the Song Dynasty, so he led the army to return to China day and night to save himself. Positions were set up south of Hongshui (present-day north of Zhecheng County, Henan) and prepared to meet the Chu army.

Cheng Dechen of Chu sent people to write a war letter.

Sima Ziyu of the Song State said to Xianggong: "The purpose of the Chu State sending troops to fight us is to save Zheng Guo. If we abandon Zheng and Chu to make peace, the Chu army will retreat and will not fight. ”

Song Xianggong said: "In the past, Duke Huan of Qi raised troops to attack Chu, and now the Chu army comes to fight us, if we don't fight him, how can we inherit the overlord of Duke Huan?" ”

Ziyu said again: "Song Guojia is not as good as Chu Jian, the soldiers are not as good as Chu Li, and everyone is not as strong as Chu, what do you rely on to defeat the Chu army?" ”

Xianggong said: "Chu soldiers have more than armor, but benevolence and righteousness are insufficient. Although I am not strong in armor, I am more than righteous in my righteousness. With the king of the way and the minister of the unreasonable, it is better for me to live like this than to die. ”

After speaking, he approved the war letter, agreed to fight with the Chu army north of Hongshui on November 1, and ordered someone to make a big flag, on which were written the two big characters "benevolence and righteousness".

On the morning of the agreed battle, the Chu army crossed the Hongshui River to the north one after another, and Ziyu persuaded Song Xianggong to take the opportunity to attack, saying: "There are many Chu soldiers and few Song soldiers, and we can win at this time." ”

Xianggong pointed to the banner and said, "Do you see the word 'benevolence'? I have always advocated benevolence and righteousness, how can I attack people after only half crossing the river? ”

Ziyu secretly complained.

After a while, the Chu army all crossed a flood of water, and Cheng Dechen held a long whip in his hand, commanded the sergeants, and arranged the formation in the east and west, with a high spirit, and no one around.

Ziyu persuaded Xianggong again: "The formation of the Chu army has not yet been arranged, hurry up and fight, if we miss this opportunity, we will be in danger." ”

Xianggong said sharply: "Duh! Are you greedy for the benefit of a blow, and disregard the righteousness of eternity? How do you attack an army that is not well formed? ”

Ziyu secretly complained again.

The Chu army lined up in formation, the soldiers were strong and strong, and the mountains were all over the field, and the Song soldiers were very scared when they saw it.

At this time, the two armies fought with drums in unison.

Xianggong stood up for himself, took Gongzi Dang and Xiang Zi Shou, the second general and many officials, and rushed towards the Chu army camp in a chariot.

Cheng Dechen saw the ferocity, so he secretly issued an order, opened the formation gate, and let Xianggong and his team ride in.

Ziyu then rushed to escort him, and Xianggong was already in his "pocket".

Chu general Dou Bo and Lu Chen of the Ping clan blocked Song Jiang Ziyu and Le Fuyi at the formation gate, the two pairs fought for a while, Song General Hua Xiu Lao rushed out and held Dou Bo, Ziyu opened his knife and killed into the Chu array, and saw that the Chu army armor was like a forest, and surrounded the Xianggong regiment.

General Song Xiang was bleeding and shouted, "Sima, come and savior!" Ziyu followed Xiang Zishou into the encirclement, only to see Gongzi dang seriously injured and fell under the car, the banner of "benevolence and righteousness" has been taken away by the Chu army, and Xianggong was injured in several places and could not stand up.

Ziyu hurriedly helped Xianggong to his car, fought hard, and finally broke away from the Chu array, and all the officials with him were killed.

Le Fuyi and Hua Xiu Lao saw that Xianggong had left the tiger's den, so they fled back separately.

Cheng Dechen took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the Song army was defeated, and countless people died.

Song Xianggong was wounded by an arrow in the back of the thigh, and the children of the Qing Doctor who followed Song Xianggong as an escort were annihilated.

The people in the capital blamed Song Xianggong.

Song Xianggong said: "A gentleman does not hurt the enemy twice, and does not capture the gray-haired enemy. In ancient warfare, victory was won without relying on barriers and obstacles. Although the widows are the descendants of the fallen kingdom of Yin Shang, they do not attack the enemy who has not set up a position. ”

Ziyu said: "The king does not understand war. Isn't it okay for a powerful enemy to not open up because of the narrow terrain and not to open up a position, this is the heavens helping me, intercepting them and attacking? But I'm still afraid that I won't win. Now the powerful countries are all our enemies, although they are old men, they can't be released if they are caught, and they don't care if their hair is gray or not. Explain what the national shame is, and teach the soldiers to fight, in order to kill more enemies. The enemy was wounded and did not die, why not strike him again? If you spare the wounded of the enemy and do not strike again, you should not hurt him in the first place; It is better to surrender to those who have gray hair. the army, which is used because it is advantageous; The drums of war thundered, and they used sound to boost morale. It is advantageous to use it, and it is okay to attack in a narrow way; The sound of drums boosted morale, and it was okay to attack an enemy who was not in formation. ”

Song Xianggong died in the second year due to his serious injuries, but people still laughed at him, and later generations called the ridiculous act of benevolence and righteousness to the enemy "Song Xiangzhiren".

Please pay attention to a similar contrast -

Chen Tang, a son of a poor family, in the third year of Jianzhao (36 BC), Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou sent an envoy to the Western Regions, killing more than 1,500 people under Ding Guan's family, the crown prince, and the famous king.

After the great victory, Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang wrote a report to the imperial court, in which there is a sentence that has been passed down through the ages: Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!

However, in the history books, this sentence is mentioned a lot, but Chen Tang is tried to be scandalized and downplayed. 】

Tang Hanlin said: "Stop, Tu Xicai, you also read the book of saints, the way of the saint allows you to slander, can you slander it?" ”

Then he said to the seven oarsmen, "Gentlemen, come ashore with me!" ”
