Chapter 9 of the end of the road, hiding a hundred valleys, washing the heart, changing the face, and surrendering thousands of troops

The generals of the Northern Army, Sun Qi, Nie Xin, Fei Zhen, and Xue Can protected Qiao Daoqing, abandoned the Wulong Cottage, and led the troops to return to Zhaode. Turn the hillside, there are still six or seven miles away from the city, only to hear the front of the war drums, shouting loudly, the east head of the road knocked out a biao soldiers, the first two generals, is the "golden hand" Xu Ning, the "urgent vanguard" Suo Chao.

Before the two armies could clash, in the city of Zhaode, seeing the retreat of the foreign division in the city, the guard general Dai Mei and Weng Kui led 5,000 troops, opened the south gate and went out of the city to respond, Xu Ning and Suo Chao divided their heads to resist the enemy. Suo Chao divided 2,000 troops, to the north to the enemy, Dai Mei took the lead, and Suo Chao more than ten together, was Suo Chao wielded a gold dip axe, cut into two sections.

Weng Kui hurriedly led the troops into the city, Suo Chao rushed up, killed more than 100 people of the northern army, and rushed to the south gate of the city, Weng Kui's soldiers and horses had already entered the city. Hurriedly dragged the suspension bridge, closed the city gate, and beat the wooden cannon stones on the city, beating down like rain, Suo Chao had to return to the army.

Besides, Xu Ning led 3,000 troops to block the way of the northern army. Although the northern army was folded for a while, there were more than 20,000 people at this time, and Xu Ning's commands were all heavy armored cavalry, and under the fierce rush of the army, the northern soldiers had no fighting spirit, and they were suddenly in chaos.

Sun Qi, the second general of Nie Xin, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately led the army and horses to fight to the death, and the enemy was defeated by Xu Ning's soldiers and horses, Fei Zhen, and Xue Can led five thousand soldiers and horses to protect Qiao Daoqing and run west. Here Xu Ning is the enemy of Sun Qi, Nie Xin's second general, the northern soldiers were killed by the heavy armor chain dragoons to lose their armor, and when they were not supported, the oblique stab Lisuo led two thousand dragoons to turn over and kill, and the northern soldiers were suddenly defeated.

Sun Qi, Nie Xin should not be able to charge the dragoons on both sides and lead the troops to defeat. Nie Xin was caught up by Xu Ning, stabbed in his left arm with a golden gun, fell under the horse, and was trampled like mud by the horse; Sun Qi grabbed the road to leave, but was caught up by Suo Chao, got up and fell with an axe, slashed the back of the heart, and knocked down the horse. The northern soldiers were defeated and lost, 30,000 military horses, and most of them were killed. Killed all over the field, shed rivers of blood, abandoned the golden drum banner, countless armor and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses scattered and fled.

Sanniang, Gongsun Sheng, Zhang Qing, and Dong Ping rushed the leaders to the army, and Xu Ning, Suo Chao, and joined forces, a total of 25,000, Wen Qiao Daoqing, with Fei Zhen, Xue Can led 5,000 soldiers and horses, and fled to the west, wanting to chase after him.

At this time, it was the time of Shenpai, the soldiers and horses fought for a day, hungry and sleepy, Sanniang was about to collect the troops and return to the village to eat, suddenly reported that there were military horses rushing to the Huguan, and came forward to catch a look, but it was Fan Rui, Shan Ting, Wei Dingguo, 10,000 soldiers and horses on the hour, ready to prepare torches, and came to respond.

Sanniang was overjoyed, and Gongsun Sheng said: "Since there is this military horse, the owner of the park and the leaders will return to the village to eat and rest, and the younger brother will lead the troops to chase Qiao Daoqing with the three leaders of Fan, Shan and Wei, and must surrender to that." ”

Sanniang pondered for a moment and said, "It's good to chase after the poor man with the remaining Yong, but why does the Taoist master have to surrender that Qiao Daoqing?" ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "The owner of the park doesn't know. My Guru Luo Zhenren often said to me: 'Jing Yuan has a Qiao Yan, he has Taoist bones, and he has visited the Tao, but I will refuse him for the time being, because he has a strong demonic heart, and he is also a living creature in the earth to create evil, and his luck is not over. Later, his demonic heart gradually receded, and when the opportunity came, he met virtue and obeyed. This great virtuous person is the lord of your future support, just by chance to meet you, you can enlighten him, and later also gain enlightenment, lead him to surrender to the Lord, and will also be useful elsewhere in the future. 'The younger brother is in Weizhou, he came according to the order, and asked the origin of the demon on the road, and General Zhang said that the general Geng Gong knew that he was prepared, and the road was Qiao Daoqing, that is, Qiao Yan of Jing County. Seeing his Fa, it is similar to the younger brother, but the younger brother has to be taught the Five Thunder Fa by his master Luo Zhenren, so he can break his Fa. This city is called Zhaode, and the owner of the park is a person of great virtue and righteousness, which is in line with the French of the teacher's encounter with virtue and demons. If you let him escape, if this person falls into the demonic barrier, it will be against the purpose of the teacher's law. This opportunity was not to be missed, and the younger brother immediately led the troops to chase after him, and the camera submitted him. ”

With only one sentence, Sanniang was full of doubts and thanks. At that moment, the congregation will lead the horses and return to the camp to eat. Gongsun Sheng, together with Fan Rui, Shan Ting, and Wei Dingguo, commanded 10,000 troops and horses, and chased Qiao Daoqing.

Besides, Qiao Daoqing and Fei Zhen and Xue Can, led the defeated remnants of 5,000 soldiers and horses, rushed to the west of Zhaode City, wanted to enter the city from the west gate, and suddenly heard the drums and horns sounding in unison, and a Biao army flew out from behind the dense forest in front.

Fei Zhen and Xue Can resisted the conflict. Sun Xin, Wang Ying was ordered by Gongsun Yiqing to enter the city, but he did not come to kill him, so he looked north. The city knew that Qiao Daoqing was embarrassed, defeated and lost, and the Liangshan army was powerful, but he was afraid that the city would be lost, so he closed the city gate tightly, and dared to come out to respond.

When there was no movement, Sun Xin and Wang Ying saw Gongsun Shengtong Fan Rui, Shan Ting, Wei Dingguo, and led the troops to catch up. Gongsun Sheng said: "The two leaders, go to Dazhai to eat and rest, and wait for the poor road to drive him away." "Sun Xin, Wang Ying returned to the village according to the order. At this point, it's unitary time.

But it was said that Qiao Daoqing was the same as Fei Zhen and Xue Can, leading the defeated remnants, anxious like a lost dog, busy like a fish that had slipped through the net, and looked north and galloped. Gongsun Sheng, together with Fan Rui, Shan Ting, and Wei Dingguo, led 10,000 troops, and then chased closely. Gongsun Sheng shouted: "Qiao Dao quickly dismounts and surrenders, Hugh is obsessed!" ”

Qiao Daoqing immediately replied loudly in front: "Everyone is his master, why are you pushing me too much?" At this time, it was already dusk, and the Liangshan military horses lit torches, and the fire shone like day. Qiao Daoqing reviewed the left and right, and there were Fei Zhen, Xue Can and more than 30 rides; The rest of the men and horses have fled in all directions.

Qiao Daoqing saw that it was so desolate, his heart was desolate, he was afraid that he would be humiliated by eating the Liangshan military horse, and wanted to draw his sword to kill himself, but Fei Zhen hurriedly grabbed it and said: "The national teacher doesn't have to be like this. He pointed to a mountain in front of him with his hand, "This ridge can be hidden." ”

Qiao Daoqing exhausted his efforts and galloped into the mountains with the two generals. It turns out that in the northeast of Zhaode City, there is a hundred valley ridge, and it is said that Shennong tastes a hundred grains. There is a Shennong temple in the mountain. Qiao Daoqing and Fei Xue's second general, Tunzha Shennong Temple, there are fifteen or sixteen horsemen under his command. It's just because Gongsun Sheng wants to surrender him, so he is allowed to escape into the mountains, otherwise the Liangshan army and horses will catch up, and even 10,000 Qiao Daoqing will be killed.

The words are not too much. However, it was said that Gongsun Shengzhi Qiao Daoqing escaped into Baiguling, and that he would divide the soldiers and horses into four roads, set up camps, and surrounded Baiguling on all sides. At the time of the second watch, I suddenly saw a big fire on the east and west roads, but after Sanniang returned to the village to eat, she personally led Dong Ping, Zhang Qing, and led 5,000 hussars to come to help overnight. Together with Gongsun Sheng, a total of 15,000 men and horses, they went separately and besieged Qiao Daoqing.

After Sanniang and Gongsun Sheng joined forces, Sanniang asked, "Since Qiao Daoqing has been surrounded, can you make someone go to recruit him?" Gongsun Sheng said: "What my master said, surrendering Qiao Daoqing should be subdued by virtue, and it needs to be discussed." Sanniang groaned: "Serve it with virtue? Now that Qiao Daoqing is trapped here, he should first take Zhaode, cut off his way back, and then persuade him to surrender, and use both grace and power to succeed. ”

At that moment, Sanniang told Gongsun Sheng about the strategy, and Gongsun Sheng laughed when he heard it: "This strategy is just right." "The plan has been decided, Sanniang sent someone back to Dazhai to pass the order, teach Dazhai Xu Ning and other generals to Zhaode, and the water in Zhaode will be impassable.

Ye Sheng, the defender in the city, and others held on to the city and did not dare to fight. Then Xu Ning wrote dozens of oracles according to Sanniang's instructions. Its word cloud: Liang Shan instructed the soldiers and civilians of Zhaodezhou to defend the city of Zhaodezhou on behalf of the lord of Tianxingdao: Tian Hu raised troops, expropriated violently, bullied and harmed the people, and the way of heaven will be punished, and the rest of the coercion is understandable. The soldiers defending the city can turn against evil and return to righteousness, reform themselves, lead the army and the people, open the door and surrender, conform to the righteousness, and must be pardoned. If the soldiers are not in the end, you and the soldiers and civilians should quickly raise righteousness, capture the soldiers, and return to the way of heaven. Led by the fixed reward, generous reward. If you are obsessed with patrolling, on the day the city is broken, the jade will be burned, and there will be no left. Encyclical.

Later, Xu Ning ordered the sergeant to tie the arrows to the Xiao Yu and shoot them into the city on all sides; The herald ordered the gates to set up their positions and only watch the movement in the city. The next day, only to hear the shouts in the city to shake the sky, the four gates erected the flag, the city guards the generals Jin Ding, Huang Yue, gathered the army and civilians, killed the deputy general Ye Sheng, Niu Geng, Leng Ning, will be three heads, hang the pole head, provoke the Liangshan army. Li Kui, Bao Xu, Xiang Chong, Li Gon, Sheng Ben, all of whom were carried in a sedan chair, opened the city gate, and sent them out of the city.

When Xu Ning saw that he could surrender, he was overjoyed, so he waved his army into the city, settled the army and civilians, opened a warehouse and released grain, and did not commit any crimes in autumn. When Xu Ning and the others were settling down on the affairs in the city, they heard a report that Lu Junyi's Yanqing leader led a person to come, and Xu Ning and the others hurriedly caught it and led them to the city.

Seeing each other, Xu Ning asked, "Where did Brother Yanqing come from?" Who is this? Yan Qing said: "This is Sun An, the palace marshal under the command of Tian Hu of the Northern Soldiers, who has returned to my Liangshan a few days ago. Xu Ning and the others were very surprised, and when they asked about it, Yan Qing said it in detail at the moment.

It turned out that Sun An and Qiao Daoqing led the order to send troops to rescue that day, Qiao Daoqing came to Huguan, but he went to Jinning to fight against Lu Junyi. This Sun An is the same villager as Qiao Daoqing, and he is also from Jingyuan. He was born nine feet long, with a large waist and eight measurements, and he knew how to thou should. Learn an excellent martial arts, accustomed to two iron swords. Later, in order to avenge his father, he killed the two people, and because the government was chasing him urgently, he abandoned his family and fled. He had a good relationship with Qiao Daoqing, and when he heard that Qiao Daoqing was under Tian Hu, he went to Weisheng and defected to Qiao Daoqing. Dao Qing recommended Tian Hu, had meritorious service in rejecting the enemy, and accepted the position of pseudo-palace marshal.

When Sun An led the army to Jinning, Lu Junyi had already conquered Jinning. Sun An immediately led the army ten miles away from the city and went to the village, just waiting for the battle with Liangshan to recover Jinning. After Lu Junyi heard the news, he personally led Yang Zhi, Ma Lin, Ou Peng and others out of the city to meet the enemy.

The two armies faced each other, and Yang Zhi went out to fight with Sun An to fifty or sixty times, regardless of victory or defeat. Lu Junyi was in the formation, saw Sun An brave, and said that this person was brave and brave, and he could only outwit him, not the enemy. So he made a plan and assigned military horses to ambush.

The next day, Lu Junyi personally went out into battle and fought with Sun An for more than 50 years, and Sun An's war horse suddenly lost and turned Sun An upside down. Lu Junyi couldn't bear to kill, and shouted: "This is not the crime of your defeat, quickly change horses to fight!"

Sun An changed horses and fought with Lu Junyi for more than 50 years. Lu Junyi feigned defeat and ran, luring Sun An to rush to the edge of the forest, a cannon sounded, and the ambush soldiers on both sides came out, Sun An was caught off guard, and was thrown out of the stumbling rope on both sides, tripping Sun An, and the army caught up, even people and horses, captured alive.

The Liangshan army and horses entered the city victoriously, and the soldiers tied Sun An away. Lu Junyi personally released his restraints, treated him with generous courtesy, and persuaded Sun An to return to Liangshan. Seeing that Lu Junyi was so spirited, Sun An was willing to surrender. Sun An said to Lu Junyi: "There are still seven generals outside the city, 15,000 military horses, let Sun go out of the city and recruit him to surrender." Lu Junyi was calm and undoubted, and let Sun An out of the city. Sun An rode to Beizhai alone, saying that the seven generals came to see Lu Junyi. Lu Junyi was overjoyed and waited for the wine.

During the banquet, Sun An said: "A certain and Qiao Daoqing, together with the lead of the troops to leave Weisheng, Qiao Daoqing went to save the pot pass. This person is known for witchcraft, and he is afraid that the lord of the berth will suffer from his poison. Qiao Daoqing and Sun are fellow villagers, Sun feels the general's kindness, and is willing to go to Huguan to listen to the news and say that Qiao Daoqing is obedient. Therefore, Lu Junyi sent Yan Qing to bring more than ten horsemen and came with Sun An to meet Sanniang's military horses. (To be continued.) )
