Why did Li Cheng and Ma Jin fight to the death with Yue Fei, there are some old grievances involved here.

At that time, the old marshal Zongze stayed in Bianliang City, Kaifeng Prefecture, took the great cause of the nation as the head, turned thieves into soldiers, and gathered the big and small rogues in the Yellow River Valley together to confront the Jin soldiers.

Among these rogues, Wang Shan, a big gun, and Yang Jin, a hornless cow, are the mainstays; And Li Cheng, Ma Jin and Zhang Yong are all leaders under Wang Shan.

With the departure of Zong Ze and the assumption of office by Du Chong, these armed forces, which had become officers and soldiers, were forced by Du Chong to fall apart, and each left Bianliang City and turned into thieves again.

Despite this, Yue Fei and these thieves were colleagues after all, and he had shown mercy to Wang Shan's subordinates many times, so he still left a friendship.

However, Zhang Yong broke up with Wang Shan, and Li Cheng, Ma Jin and Cao Cheng jointly murdered Wang Shan, seized his territory, and broke the rules of the rivers and lakes, because Yue Fei wanted to kill Li Cheng and his gang quickly.

And Li Cheng and Ma Jin also knew that Yue Fei was jealous and hateful, and there was no room for maneuver, so they could only fight with their lives and wanted to kill Yue Fei.

Now that Ma Jin is dead, Li Cheng has fled north, this time the army has been completed, but Zhang Jun looked at the area, and there was a rogue Zhang Yong entrenched in Fenning County, it was better to take advantage of the situation to exterminate them together, so as to report more credit to the imperial court.

So Zhang Jun brought Yue Fei over and said, "If you want to eliminate Zhang Yong, there is no other choice but you." ”

It seems that Zhang Jun has found a way to use Yue Fei: if there is a war, he will push Yue Fei to the front, and he will take the credit himself

is also a rogue, Zhang Yong is very different from Li Cheng and his gang.

Li Cheng and his gang went everywhere. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, whether they are men, women, or children, they all loot and clear the light. The wickedness is great; And Zhang Yong only robbed the rich, did not harass the poor, did not harm his life, and had a good reputation.

Because of this, Lu Qing, who was stationed in Xijing Henan Mansion, met Zhang Yong two years ago, persuaded Zhang Yong to return to the Song Dynasty in the future, and married his righteous daughter "Yizhang Qing" to Zhang Yong.

What is "Yizhang Qing"?

There is such a description in the fifty-second chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions": "Qingwen was cold and leaned over and grabbed his hand. took a piece of green from the pillow and poked it into his hand...... Falling crying and shouting in pain"

In the song of the Shengping Department, "Merry Sister" also has such a lyric: "Merry Sister is dressed up a must...... The pink face and peach cheeks are as white as snow. Wearing a zhang of green obliquely, the watery hosta stick is pinned to the sideburns. ”

What is this thing? The Dictionary of the Dream of Red Mansions annotates: "Yizhangqing: A slender hairpin with ear picking, with a sharp end and a thick end. The apex is small dipper-shaped. ”

This explanation is incomplete. Yizhangqing is not an ordinary hairpin. It is made of copper, five millimeters wide and eighteen centimeters long, with an axe and snake spear at the upper end and a flat tip at the lower end, which is very sharp.

This structure shows that in addition to decorating the hair, Yizhangqing also has some functions such as cutting paper and cutting cloth; Furthermore. It can also be used as a self-defense weapon by ancient women, hence the name Yizhangqing.

A woman who can be called a young man. All of them are strong in martial arts, such as the Qinghu Sanniang among the heroes of Liangshan.

For Zhang Yong's wife, the record in the history of the Song Dynasty is: "On the horse with armor, there are thousands of enemies"

Soon, Zhang Yong received a letter from Yue Fei.

When I opened it, it read: "I am with you and the people, I am loyal to you, the battle of Nanxun Gate and the railway step are all known to you." Now I will be here, if you want to fight, you will fight, and if you don't want to fight, you will surrender. If you descend, the country will hire you, and you will be favored, and if you don't descend, you will be in a bad position, or you will be tired and returned to the court, although you regret it. ”

Although there are no flowery words in this letter, it is also real and relevant.

What a sentence "If you want to fight, you will fight, and if you don't want to fight, you will surrender"!

Zhang Yong also had a heart of submission, and after reading the letter, he thought about it for a while, then stood up and said to the messenger: "If my father is also, dare not surrender." ”

The envoy of the Song army was overjoyed and was about to retire, when he suddenly heard a female general next to him shouting: "Wait." ”

Zhang Yong opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was stopped by the female general waving his hand. The female general then said to the envoy: "It is not difficult for my husband and wife to surrender, and General Yue must personally invite them. ”

This female general turned out to be Zhang Yong's wife "Yizhangqing"

Zhang Yong actually asked Yue Fei to personally come to his camp to surrender, and the soldiers in the Yue family's army were in an uproar.

Who knows what trick Zhang is playing!

Yue Fei was very calm and ordered his subordinates: "Prepare your horse and prepare to go." ”

In the Yue family's army, the whole group unanimously opposed Yue Fei to go.

The reason is simple, the car is not dangerous. Once Zhang Yong harbors evil intentions, isn't this self-defeating?

Even when Zhang Jun heard the news, he hurriedly came to Yue Fei and advised him to organize the army and start a war with Zhang Yong, and give up this trip in case of accidents.

Yue Fei smiled and replied, "Zhang Yong, I understand, don't worry, he won't harm me." ”

Watching Yue Fei turn over and get on the horse, Zhang Jun was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and shouted repeatedly: "Don't take risks, if you are poisoned by him, how about he take the opportunity to kill him again?" ”

It turned out that Zhang Jun was not worried about Yue Fei, but worried about being chased and killed by Zhang Yong.

Yue Fei glanced back at the boss, turned around and rode away, leaving only this sentence: "Back then, when the sect was left behind, I was able to gather a group of thieves to contribute to the country, what did I have to fear." ”

On the official road in front of Lengjiazhuang in Fenning County, there are tens of thousands of infantry lined up in two columns, with distinct swords and armor, waving flags, and murderous, as if they want to kill all the creatures that pass by.

In the middle of the official road ahead, three horsemen and horses vaguely appeared.

The three of them were neatly draped all over their bodies, holding spears in their hands, and slowly walked forward on the official road.

Different from the fierce and vicious soldiers on both sides of the official road, these three people looked relaxed, as if there was no one around, and they were not pointing at the soldiers on both sides, as if they were playing in the mountains and rivers.

After a stick of incense, these three people finally came to Lengjiazhuang. Looking ahead, the atmosphere in front of Lengjiazhuang was more tense and solemn than on both sides of the official road.

On the walls of the manor, there are dense rows of archers. These archers have already bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows are pointed at the incoming people; In front of the manor, more than a thousand cavalrymen stood up their weapons and were eager to try; At the front of the cavalry, there were two tall horses, one yellow and one white, standing upright, and a man and a woman on the horse, looking forward with solemn faces.

This pair of men and women. It is Zhang Yong and his wife, who are known as "Zhang Mangdang" and "Yizhangqing".

The three horsemen came to a distance of three zhang from Zhang Yong before they stopped. The big man at the head smiled brightly and said loudly, "Brother Zhang Yong." We haven't seen each other for many years, and you are so grandly received today, I, Yue Fei, deserve it! ”

Yue Fei's smile is a kind of sincerity from the bottom of his heart. Not only did it make the soldiers around like a spring breeze. also deeply moved Zhang Yong and his wife.

Zhang Yong and Yizhang Qing glanced at each other, jumped off their horses, and arched their hands and said, "Originally, I wanted to try Brother Yue Fei's martial arts, but now it seems that we are villains in vain." ”

"Brother Zhang Yong is a martial idiot, and he should be tested as a brother, and now he will demonstrate it for his brother, so that the brothers can evaluate it."

Yue Fei finished speaking. He also jumped off his horse and took a few steps forward. When I came to the center of the field, I stopped moving

After a while, there was nothing to see Yue Fei, and the soldiers around him began to whisper: "What does this Yue Fei mean, standing there and not moving, what kind of demonstration is it." ”

Suddenly, Zhang Yong and his wife bowed their hands at the same time and praised: "The eldest brother's martial arts are world-famous, and the brother admires it!" ”

What exactly did Yue Fei demonstrate?

Ordinary people can't see it, but Zhang Yong and his wife can see it clearly.

It turned out that Yue Fei's body didn't move, but his feet gradually sank, as if he was in the mud, and he actually stood out of a pit, and the ground didn't reach the heels, and he had already reached the calf position.

It turned out to be the legendary Huashan rebody method: "stepping on the ground like mud".

Those who are strong in martial arts stomp their feet vigorously, and it is not difficult to stomp the ground out of the pit; And now Yue Fei's feet are not moving, and by luck alone, he can actually press the hard ground out of a pit.

This kind of supernatural martial arts realm has far surpassed the law that Zhang Yong and his wife can understand and imagine, and they can't help but be unconvinced.

And Yue Fei was able to come alone, facing tens of thousands of soldiers whose identities were unknown, and he could still be calm and calm without fear, what kind of bearing, what courage!

And most importantly, that kind of absolute trust between friends!

Zhang Yong surrendered, and came with his 50,000 soldiers to surrender.

When Yue Fei took Zhang Yong to meet Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun heard about Yue Fei's trip, and praised the generals and officials with emotion: "Yue Fei's brave strategy is beyond our reach." ”

At that time, Zhang Jun and Yue Fei had such a conversation.

Zhang Jun asked Yue Fei, "Your army is well-disciplined and powerful in combat, how did you do it?" ”

Yue Fei arched his hand and replied: "Benevolence, faith, wisdom, courage, and strictness, one of the five is indispensable. ”

Zhang Jun asked curiously: "What do you mean by 'strict'?" ”

Yue Fei replied: "Those who have merit will be rewarded heavily, and those who have no merit will be severely punished."

Zhang Jun then asked, "How do you know that Zhang Yong sincerely surrendered?" Aren't you afraid that he will murder you? ”

Yue Fei replied proudly: "Sun Ziyun: 'Those who make good use of soldiers, the soldiers of the people are not the ones who fight. Pull out the city of people instead of attacking it, destroy the country of people instead of long, and fight for the whole world, so the army is not immediately profitable, and this method of attacking is also. Li Cheng was 100,000 people, and he was defeated with one blow, Yue Wei was intimidated, and Zhang surrendered with natural sincerity. ”

On August 8 of that year, Zhang Jun separated from Yue Fei in Dingjiazhou in the Yangtze River in Ruichang County, and led his subordinates to return to the imperial court to ask for merit.

Zhang Jun also took Zhang Yong and 50,000 troops under Zhang Yong's subordinates.

Yue Fei's top boss once again picked the peaches of his subordinates.

Of course, in order to appease Yue Fei, Zhang Jun also did some things, such as ranking Yue Fei first on the merit list when he invited credit to the imperial court this time, so he helped Yue Fei be promoted to the position of deputy commander of the Shenwu Right Army.

In addition, Zhang Jun also left some materials to support Yue Fei to continue to suppress bandits.

History of the Song Dynasty, vol. 365. Yue Feichuan: Jiang, Huaiping, Jun Feigong first, plus the deputy commander of the Shenwu Right Army, stayed in Hongzhou, impeached the thieves, awarded the pro-Wei doctor, and the Jianzhou observation envoy...... (To be continued......)
