One morning at the end of January of the second year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, the wind was cold and the snow flakes were dancing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fifteen miles east of Dongping Mansion. In the dawn that had just broke, more than a thousand knights in various armors slowly moved from the horizon to the position of the Song army in Dongping Mansion from afar, and a general led by him immediately stood on a small hillside, watching the position of the Song army. Suddenly, in a moment, more than a thousand knights disappeared, disappearing without a trace, only the general was still on the hillside, and the snowflakes flying in the sky.

"Brother Dong Ping, I haven't seen you for many days, it's always good?" This general on the slope of the mountain is Zhu Biao, the lord of Liangshan.

Dong Ping saw Zhu Biao and said coldly: "I only thought that you were dead, but I didn't think that you were still alive in the world, harming the people!" ”

Zhu Biao smiled: "Brother Dong Ping, how are you and your sister-in-law doing recently?" ”

Dong Ping said: "This is my family matter, and I have nothing to do with you!" ”

Zhu Biao deliberately mentioned his sister-in-law in order to test Dong Ping. Li Ruilan is still living in Dong Ping's mansion, if Dong Ping kills Li Ruilan or imprisons him, he will definitely say it, first, to show loyalty to the imperial court, and second, to show that he broke with Liangshan. But Dong Ping didn't say this, obviously Dong Ping left a way out for himself.

Zhu Biao still said with a smile: "Brother Dong Ping, in fact, you and I are seeing each other on the battlefield now, so it's just that each is the master, why should my brother be angry?" I told my brother with kind words today, just to persuade my brother, this Zhao Song Dynasty is already exhausted, why does my brother have to give him a funeral? The elder brother might as well return to Liangshan, and the younger brother and his elder brother gallop the world together, wouldn't they be happy! ”

"Thief, Hugh has to talk nonsense, let the horse come quickly, I will definitely kill you and not return!" After that, Dong Ping was armed with two guns, and he was going to fight with the Liangshan army.

Zhu Biao said: "Brother and slow, since you and I are sworn brothers, but now we want brothers to kill each other, then I, as a brother, should let my brother - someone come!" The whole army of Liangshan retreated to show my courtesy to my sworn brother. ”

After a Liangshan soldier bowed and saluted, he unfurled an apricot yellow flag in his hand, and after shaking it in the air a few times, Zhu Biao arched his hand to Dong Ping, then turned his horse's head and withdrew from the hillside.

The new prefect of Dongping Prefecture is surnamed Gao and is a distant relative of Gao Yu. Just because this surnamed Gao has been seeking officials in Gao Yu all day long, Gao Yu is very annoyed, and when he heard that Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Mansion, died, he immediately sent this distant relative to Dongping Mansion to be the prefect.

Although the Kochi Mansion couldn't hear what Zhu Biao and Dong Ping said in the city, he could see clearly when Zhu Biao and Dong Ping spoke, and he saw Dong Ping leading the people back to the city.

The Kochifu asked Dong Pingdao: "General Dong, everyone says that you have the courage of ten thousand people, why don't you lead the army to kill it?" ”

Dong Ping said: "The prefect of the prime minister, the Liangshan military horse, brave and good at fighting, when the duke led 20,000 western troops, went to Dulonggang to go to the field, he was killed by this Liangshan thief leader called Zhu Biao, and his head was also cut off. Now the Liangshan thieves did not engage with our army, and there was no disadvantage, but they deliberately led the troops to retreat, and the last general was afraid that he would have a trick, so he did not dare to pursue. ”

The prefect thought for a while and said, "Then tomorrow, the prefect will allocate more military horses with you, and you must defeat the Liangshan bandits!" ”

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Biao came to the city again. Dong Ping hurriedly put on his clothes. When the two met, Zhu Biao said: "Brother, the younger brother still has something to ask my brother, and I ask my brother to tell me the truth!" ”

Dong Ping said: "Zhu Biao, you and I are both severe, what else is there to tell the truth, if you have something to say, you can keep it and talk to Lord Yama!" "Let's say that as soon as the legs clamped the horse's belly, the horse Fei also seemed to rush towards Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao retreated into the military formation, and the Liangshan army was defeated by Han Tao with a jujube lance. Dong Ping's pair of iron spears made Han Tao haunted, and Han Tao only had the ability to parry, but had no power to fight back. As soon as Zhu Biao saw that Han Tao was not Dong Ping's opponent at all, he immediately asked Hu Yanzhuo to go up and replace Han Tao.

Hu Yanzhuo's double whip against Dong Ping's double gun, the two fought for fifty rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. Zhu Biao didn't want Hu Yan to burn Dong Ping, nor did he want Dong Ping to hurt Hu Yanzhuo, so Ming Jin withdrew his army.

Dong Ping was afraid that the Kochifu would accuse himself again after he returned, so he raised two guns and chased after the Liangshan army.

The Liangshan army fought and retreated, although Dong Ping pursued and killed the Liangshan army, but the Liangshan army retreated in an orderly manner, and the officers and troops led by Dong Ping did not take advantage of half of it.

Dong Ping returned to Dongping Mansion, and the Kochi Mansion asked Dong Ping: "The Liangshan thieves have been defeated, why didn't the general exterminate the Liangshan thieves in one fell swoop!" ”

Dong Ping said: "The prefect is the minister, although the Liangshan army retreated, but it was defeated but not chaotic, and it is very likely that there will be an ambush, and if our army catches up again, it will inevitably fall into the tricks of the Liangshan bandits." ”

Gao Zhifu squinted at Dong Ping, looking unconvinced of Dong Ping's words: "When did General Dong start to fight timidly?" ”

That night, a letter was shot on the tower of the East Gate of Dongping Mansion, which Dong Ping was guarding.

Dong Ping opened the letter and saw that the letter was written by Liang Shanjun Zhu Biao, but the strange thing was that there were more traces of alteration in this letter. Just as Dong Ping was waiting for the letter from Zhu Biao, the Kochi Mansion suddenly came. asked Dong Ping to take the letter and read it. Dong Ping had no choice but to show the letter to the Kochi Mansion. Kochifu read the letter, then looked at Dong Ping, and asked, "Why has this letter been altered in so many places?" ”

Dong Ping said: "The original letter is like this, I don't understand, maybe the Liangshan thief was careless and sealed the draft by mistake." ”

Kochifu said: "You always say how scheming this Zhu Biao is, how can a scheming person be so careless?" General Dong, could it be that you altered this letter yourself? Gao Zhifu looked at Dong Ping, with a murderous aura on his face.

Dong Ping was anxious and hurriedly explained: "The prefect, you can't fall for Zhu Biao's tricks!" Tomorrow, tomorrow I will lead the army out again, and I will stab Zhu Biao to death with one shot! ”

Gao Zhifu sneered: "This is excellent, it can be seen that General Dong's sincerity!" ”

The next day, the Kochi Mansion asked Dong Ping to hide in the formation, and he personally went out to ask Zhu Biao to answer. But Zhu Biao didn't come out, but sent Hu Yanzhuo out, looked at it, and suddenly shouted loudly: "General Dong Ping, don't forget what the letter said, today is the right time, why don't you kill this dog official!" ”

When the Gao Zhifu heard this, he was so shocked that he was covered with cold sweat, looked back at Dong Ping again, hurriedly turned his horse's head, and ran towards the city. As soon as the officers and soldiers saw that the Kochi Mansion had run away, they also ran along, and suddenly the formation was chaotic and noisy.

Zhu Biao stood on the high slope and pointed at the Daxu flag, and the Liangshan army killed the officers and soldiers all over the mountains. Although Dong Ping still wanted to fight again, he was defeated, and he himself was coerced by the defeated soldiers and ran around. Zhu Biao stood on the high slope, and when he saw that there were many officers and soldiers, he let the Daxu Banner fight there, only to kill the corpses of the officers and soldiers all over the field, and the blood flowed and drifted.

The Kochi Mansion had just arrived at the edge of the city, and before he could enter the city, he heard a Liangshan leader shouting from Chengtou: "Old thief, I, Liangshan, have taken the city, quickly dismount and surrender!" ”

When Kochifu saw this, he was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse. Just as he was about to turn the horse's head and flee, the leopard's head Lin Chong caught up and struck a spear under the horse.
