At that moment, Wang Yue gave an order, and ordered someone to invite Han Tao, the general of Baisheng, and Peng Xi, the general of Tianmu, to come over, and after a while, there were four Liangshan sergeants escorting Han Tao, and Peng Xi and the two walked in.

Wang Yue took a look, the two were tied with ropes, tied a sturdy, unkempt, embarrassed, Wang Yue stood up at the moment, came to the two with a smile, and removed the rope on the two with his own hands.

"The two generals have suffered, and I Liangshan has not been well entertained, and I hope that the two generals will not be angry." Wang Yue said with a smile.

Peng Xi snorted coldly, turned his head, and didn't speak, but Han Tao next to him opened his mouth and said: "Wang Yue, what thoughts you know will be clear, my two brothers, born as a person of the Great Song Dynasty, and died as a ghost of the Great Song Dynasty, if you want us to fall into the grass, it is delusional." ”

"Bold, my brother cherishes you, so he treats each other politely, shamelessly, brother, if I want me to say it, I will pull out these two things that don't know whether they are dead or alive and cut them down." Hearing Han Tao say this about Wang Yue, Nanli Taibao Shibao, who had always been an idol of Wang Yue, was not happy, and immediately slapped the chair with his big hand, stood up, and pointed at Han Tao with anger on his face and scolded.

In the face of Shi Bao's scolding, Han Tao was not angry, he still looked cold, snorted coldly, and turned his head over, seeing Han Tao ignoring him, Shi Bao was even more angry, if it wasn't for Wang Yue here, he would have been eager to teach Han Tao a hard lesson.

At this time, Wang Yue suddenly laughed, and then said: "Okay, General Han is quick to talk, I like it, to be honest, I do have the intention of recruiting two generals, since General Han said so, then I won't say anything." ”

"The two generals are loyal and courageous heroes, Wang Yue can't bear to kill the two, I will order someone to prepare a table of wine banquet for a while, the two generals can leave after they are full of food and drink, I Liangshan heroes are good at what they say, and they will never break their promises." Wang Yue continued.

Wang Yue's words were so loud that Han Tao and Peng Xi were a little surprised, they didn't expect that Wang Yue didn't kill them anyway, and none of the generals who had been captured and captured since ancient times had a good end.

"Wang Yue really let the two of me go?" Han Tao didn't want to believe his ears, so he asked again, and Peng Xi next to him also looked at Wang Yue with a puzzled face, waiting for Wang Yue's answer.

"Hahaha, of course it's true, the more my king says the same, and it's hard to chase after the horse." Taste haha smiled and said.

Peng Xi and Han Tao got Wang Yue's assurance, and their hearts were also moved, since the two of them were captured, the people of Liangshan can be said to be courteous to the two of them, and the behavior of the heroes of Liangshan is not as evil as Gao Yu They said, and the crime is extremely evil, but the observation of the two of them in the past two days found that the generals and soldiers in the Liangshan army and horses are all like a family, and the combat effectiveness is also amazing.

"Wang Yue, when I was serving as a regimental training envoy in Yingzhou, I always heard that Wang Yue's name, righteousness is thin and cloudy, benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, and today I see that it is indeed worthy of its name, it is this kind of bearing that makes my brothers admire, Wang Yue let my brother go back today, and the next day in front of the saint will be set to clear the grievances of the Wang family and all the heroes." Peng Xi hugged Wang Yue with a heavy fist and said.

After Peng Xi finished speaking, Wang Yue smiled and didn't speak, and the military advisor next to him, Lu Jiang, shook his feather fan and walked over, laughed, and said to Peng Xi: "General Peng's words are wrong, the general is now defeated by Liang Shanbo and returned to the emperor in Tokyo, will Gao Yu Cai Jing Tong Guan and others spare you, what awaits you can only be to rob your house and go to prison, where will you see the emperor." ”

Lu Jiang's words made Han Tao and Peng Xi suddenly realize, and then they broke out in a cold sweat, obviously they also thought of the consequences of the matter, and what Lu Jiang said was not wrong at all.

Peng Xi frowned tightly and bowed his head silently, but Han Tao next to him hurriedly asked: "This is Liangshan's military advisor, General Lu, I have long heard that Mr. is wise and scheming, and he has no last resort, so dare to ask Mr. if he has any good plan to save my two brothers." ”

General Lu smiled incomprehensibly, and said at the moment: "Once the two generals return to wait for the two generals, the only thing to do is to raid the house and destroy the door, it is better to join me Shuibo Liangshan, Wang Yue's brother recruits talents, and is thirsty for talents, Liangshanbo is now thriving, and today's court is mediocre, it is like the dry bones in the mound, terminally ill, and there is no cure, the two generals are smart people, I believe they have seen it." ”

The two of them listened to Lu Jiang's words, they were stunned, they didn't speak, they bowed their heads and didn't say anything, as if they were thinking about something, Lu Jiang smiled again, and glanced at Wang Yue, Wang Yue also understood what Lu Jiang meant, and saw that Han Tao and Peng Xi did not refute, so they knew that there was a door to this matter, and immediately hugged their fists towards the two of them, and said: "Two brothers, Wang Yue did not go to Liangshan to be at ease, nor to make wealth, but he couldn't see the traitorous ministers in power, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant, and the people were miserable. For the sake of the suffering people in this world, I went to Liangshan with a group of like-minded brothers to pray for the lives of the people and the people. ”

Han Tao and Peng Xi were shocked when they heard Wang Yue's words, but they didn't expect this Shandong Xiao Meng to taste Wang Yue to have such a mind, and they were also moved at the moment.

Wang Yue struck while the iron was hot, and bowed deeply to the Yum general Han Tao and Tianmu Peng Xi, and said sincerely: "Let the people of the world live a good life, no longer be oppressed, you can't rely on me Wang Yue alone, but also need countless like-minded heroes, the two brothers are talented, Wang Yue implored the two brothers to go up the mountain to wish me a hand." ”

Han Tao and Peng Xi were also moved by Wang Yuede's sincerity, but they didn't expect the world-famous Shandong Xiaomeng to taste Wang Yue to be so approachable, Corporal Lixian, the two glanced at each other at the moment, and they all bowed to Wang Yue like a jade pillar like a golden mountain, respected his brother, and said in unison: "The general of the defeated army should be killed, the brother of the Wang family is righteous and thin, my brothers and I both feel and admire, my brothers and I are willing to join Liangshan, and be a pawn in front of my brother's horse." ”

Wang Yue was overjoyed, laughed, helped the two up, and said: "Hahaha, the two brothers have joined Liangshan, and I have added two generals to Liangshan, like a tiger with wings, I ordered to go down, kill chickens and cattle, have a big feast, and wash the dust for the two brothers." ”

The Liangshan camp happily did not need to mention it, and said that in the Taiwei Mansion of Gao Yu in Bianliang, Tokyo, Hu Yanzhuo's letter asking for help had been put on Gao Yu's bookcase, Gao Yu read the letter, and was dissatisfied with this Hu Yanzhuo, and secretly said that this is still a general, and the courage of Wanfu is not appropriate, it is all bullshit, rice bucket.

But if he is angry and angry, scolded and scolded, this Hu Yanzhuo was recommended by him and Tong Guan in front of the saint, if he didn't send troops to reinforce him, if the army was defeated at that time, his face would be dull, and the crime of not knowing people would be confirmed.

At that moment, Gao Yu thought about it again and again, so he sent a document to dispatch the Lingzhou regiment to train the Shenhuo general Wei Dingguo, and the holy water general Shan Tinggui led the headquarters to reinforce Hu Yanzhuo.

Wei Dingguo, the commander of the Lingzhou regiment, was proficient in fire attack methods, and used special firearms to take people into battle, known as the "Shenhuo General"; And Shan Tinggui is good at the method of immersing soldiers with water, nicknamed "Holy Water General" or "Holy Water General", the two of them are one water and one fire, complement each other, since ancient times, water and fire are ruthless, if you cooperate tacitly, it is not impossible to top 100,000 troops.

There is also a folk legend about the water and fire method of the divine fire general Wei Dingguo and the holy water general Shan Tinggui.

According to legend, Shan Tingju, the "Holy Water General" of the Lingzhou regiment, and Wei Dingguo, the "Shenhuo General", were apprentices of the same division, and the two were born on the same day, the same month, and the same year. Elder Yijing, the master, was a well-known master in the world at that time. In particular, his "method of fighting by breaking the water and immersing himself" and "the method of triggering a fire and attacking by force" are unmatched. Master Yijing decided to teach the two methods to the two disciples.

However, on who to pass on "water" and who to pass on "fire", the two had a dispute. Because everything is water-based, and water can overcome fire, both of them are rushing to learn water skills and compete for the top.

Master Yijing is making it difficult now. Both of them are their own beloved disciples, and they are not old or young, in this kind of situation, how can they say who to let learn "water" and who to learn "fire"? Master Yijing came up with a good idea, he wanted to come up with a few questions, test two people, and the winner would learn the "water method". The two said yes again and again.

Master Yijing thought about it and said two riddles for the two to guess. The first riddle is:

What cats don't eat fishy, what iron doesn't nail, what rice doesn't cook, and what chickens don't lay eggs?

It is: what can't be bought with money, what can't be weighed on scales, what is the best thing to govern, and nothing is difficult to do?

These two riddles of Master Yijing cover a wide range of areas, including the details of daily life and the great plan of governing the country in peace. He deliberately took the opportunity to get to know the two apprentices comprehensively. After the riddle was finished, the two of them took out a pen and paper and wrote down the answers respectively.

Shan Tingqi Wei Dingguo thought about it, and wrote the answer with a pen and "brush": the iron anchor on the ship does not eat fishy, the Cambodian stickers for hospitality do not nail, the rice grass in the field does not cook, and the loom does not lay eggs.

The answer to the second riddle is: people's hearts cannot be bought with money, faith cannot be weighed by scales, and the country should be governed by the people, and it is difficult to ignore an inch!

Master Yijing read the answers of the two and said yes again and again.

The first round was not decided, and Master Yijing decided to play the second one.

When it was time for lunch, Master Yijing took out five baked cakes and said, "These five baked cakes, you don't need to grab them, you don't need to grab them, whoever can eat three wins." But there is one item, you can only take up to two at a time, and you can only take it again after eating what you have in your hand. ”

Master Yijing's exam question actually tests the comprehension ability of the two of them. If you don't think about it, it's hard to win.

Let's say that Wei Dingguo didn't seriously ponder the meaning of the master's words, thinking that as long as he ate as much as he ate fast, he would be fine, so as soon as the master finished speaking, he immediately grabbed two baked cakes and devoured them. When Wei Dingguo finished eating one and a half, he happened to finish secreting one, and then, he took the remaining two in his hand, Wei Dingguo was dumbfounded, and knew that he had lost, but he did not admit defeat, saying that Shan Tingqi was playing tricks, and this time this method could not be counted.

The two apprentices quarreled. Master Yijing waved his hand: "Okay, okay, don't make any more noise!" For the teacher, the last question will be asked, and the winner will come first! ”

After that, two strings of money were found in the sleeves of the robe, one for each of them, and the two of them went out to buy one thing each, and whoever had the ability to fill the room would win.

The two took the money and went their separate ways.

This time, Wei Dingguo used his brain. I thought to myself, this string of money is a lot of money, what cheap things can I buy to fill this room? When I came to the market, I turned left and right, and found that the grass was the cheapest, so I bought a bunch of grass. When I returned to Master's place, I found that only half of the room was installed, and I was far from being full! Wei Dingguo was very anxious, but there was no way. I thought to myself, the things I bought can't fit into this room, and the things Shan Tingjun bought may not be able to fill it! Wait for him to come back and see what he does.

It was getting dark, and Shan Tingqi came back with a small bag. Wei Ding looked at it and was full of joy. In my heart, I can't do it, and he can't either! This question from the master is really embarrassing!

Master Yijing saw that Shan Tingqi was back, and said, "Are you back?" What do you want for your teacher? ”

Shan Tingqi was not in a hurry, opened the small bag, and took out a small oil lamp from the bag. It turned out that he had bought these things with the money given by the master.

Shan Tingqi came to the house, lit the fire and lit the oil lamp, and the whole house immediately lit up.

The master nodded yes. Wei Dingguo didn't say anything now, patted his head, and secretly sighed that he was not as smart as Shan Tingjue. From then on, he convincingly called Shan Tingqi his senior brother, and willingly let Shan Tingjun learn the "water method" and learn the "fire method" himself.
