In the twenty-eighth round, Marshal Yue transferred troops to suppress Kou, and Niu was captured as a patrol of the lake
The poem says: Last night, the head of the clan Yao Doukui, and today the general is the commander. The arm carves the bow god and falls into the geese, and the waist crosses the sword bravely.
Three thousand tigers are embraced like clouds, and hundreds of teams are flying with flags. Try to see the tired prisoners competing for sacrifices, and worship Tang Yu.
But it was said that Marshal Yue was on the shore, and when he saw Ruan Liang in the water, he caught the Wushu, and he was so unhappy in his heart, he raised his hand to heaven and said: "It is really the great blessing of the imperial court!" All the generals rejoiced, and the soldiers were all happy. Ruan Liang caught the vulture, went to the water near the south bank, the vultures were furious, opened his eyes, looked at Ruan Liang, and roared. There was a loud sound in the mud pill palace, revealing a golden fire dragon, opening its teeth and dancing its claws, looking at Ruan Liang's face. Ruan Liang shouted: "Not good! "I threw away the vultures, and I looked at the bottom of the water. The soldiers here drove the small boat, just arrived, rescued the Wushu, fished the horse again, and got on the same boat. On the one hand, he changed his clothes and armor, and crossed the river to the north bank. The generals went ashore, returned to the Hewen Mansion, and sent troops to defend the mouth of the Yellow River. Wushu said to Zhong Pingzhang: "A certain family has never suffered such a big defeat since entering the Central Plains, this Yue Nanban is really powerful!" "That is, I will be busy repairing the book, send the official back to my country, and then transfer people and horses to fight a decisive battle with Yue Nanman. and press the slow watch.
Besides, Marshal Yue of Nan'an saw that Wushu was rescued by the soldiers, and sighed to the generals and said, "This is also the will of heaven!" It's a pity that that the good man, I don't know what happened to his life? Before he could say anything, I saw Ruan Liang coming out of the water to visit. When Niu Gao saw this, he shouted: "Friend of the water ghost, the marshal misses you here, come ashore quickly!" When Ruan Liang heard this, he went to the water and came to the south bank, until he came to Marshal Yue's horse and knelt down and kowtowed. Marshal Yue dismounted, supported each other with his hands, and said, "Good man, please get up, please ask for the name of the honorable man?" Ruan Liang said: "The villain's surname is Ruan Mingliang, and he was originally the son of Ruan Xiaoer on Liangshanbo, and he has always been in the rivers and lakes. Today I wanted to capture this thief to make a contribution, but he released a strange thing, and the villain panicked for a while and was left by him. The marshal said: "This is his life, not your incompetence." This commander looks at you as a character, it is better to make some achievements in front of our army, and win a wife and son, and it will not be in vain for you to be a good man. Ruan Liang said: "If it is included by the marshal, the villain is willing to sacrifice his life to report it." Marshal Yue was overjoyed, so he ordered the sergeant to change dry clothes with Ruan Liang. On the one hand, he set up camp and went down to the village, killed pigs and sheep, and rewarded the soldiers. He also reported that Zhang Guoxiang and Dong Fang led the sergeants to arrive with grain and grass, and the marshal ordered them to enter the camp. After meeting with the generals, he also called Ruan Liang, Zhang Guoxiang and Dong Fang to worship as righteous friends. It was also written as a chapter of victory, and the three new Zhang, Dong, and Ruan were newly received, and they were heard together, and they were rewarded by the decree.
One day, the marshal was sitting in the camp to consult with the brothers, and sent people to look for boatsmiths everywhere, crossed the river into a warboat, and went to the Huanglong Mansion to welcome the two saints back to the court. Suddenly, under the holy decree, the marshal went out of the camp to receive him, and Qin sent to read: Now because of the rampant water of Taihu Lake, Yue Fei was promoted to the position of generalissimo of the five provinces, and immediately led the troops to Taihu Lake to suppress the Kou.
The father-in-law thanked Enbi, the angel said goodbye, and went back. Marshal Yue hurriedly sent officials to inform Marshal Zhang and assigned people to guard the Yellow River. Immediately ordered Niu Gao, Wang Gui, Tang Huai, and Zhang Xian to be the four generals: "Lead 10,000 troops to go first, rectify the grain and grass for my brother, and then come." "The four generals gave the order to set off with cannons.
Words are long, and words are short. After more than one day on the road, I have already arrived at Pingjiang Mansion. Ten miles away from the city, set up camp and rested for a day. Niu Gao rode out of the camp alone and walked leisurely. But when he saw that the people's furniture had fled, and there were empty houses left, they were desolate. Niu Gao thought: "Everything else is fine, but there is nowhere to drink, so I am sad." "After walking a little further, I saw a large monastery. When I walked in front of me and looked up, I recognized the four old gold characters on the plaque, which were "Hanshan Ancient Temple". He entered the mountain gate, got off his horse in front of the main hall, tied the horse to a tree, and called the general all the way in: "There are monks who come out twice!" "When I went inside, there was no half-man. When I went down to the kitchen again, I looked around and saw that there was no even a stove, so I was not happy. I had to turn around and come out, but I saw some grass ashes piled up in a dilapidated house, and Niu Gao said, "Don't hide anything in this ash." "Shovel into the ashes, and suddenly saw a person jumping out of the ashes, which scared Niu Gao!
The man was covered in ashes, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Grandpa Wang spares his life!" Niu Gao said: "Who are you, the head of the dog?" Hide in the ashes and scare the master! The man said: "The little one is a Taoist in Hanshan Temple." Because the kings came to collect food the day before yesterday, the monks of Hesi have fled. Only the villain still had some odd things to clean up, so he heard that the prince was coming, so he hid in the ashes. I hope the prince will spare his life! Niu Gao said: "What kind of king am I there?" I was sent by the emperor today to arrest the king, and the commander of the generalissimo Yue was the one who commanded the first officer. Let me ask you, is there wine for sale here and there? The Taoist said: "It turned out to be a grandfather of the chief soldier, but the little one admitted his mistake." This is Fengqiao Town, so there is nothing to sell? But they were often robbed by robbers in the Taihu Lake, and the people, both men and women, fled, but now there is no place to buy wine. Niu Gao said: "Scared! Is there no magistrate here? Dao said: "There was originally a magistrate here, and it was Master Lu of Pingjiang Mansion." His yamen is in the city, not in this place. Niu Gao said: "How many roads are there from here to Pingjiang Fucheng?" The Taoist said: "It's not far, it's less than seven or eight miles, and it's the city." Niu Gao said: "In this case, you lead my master there." The Taoist said: "The villain's feet have been poked by the master, and he can go there!" Niu Gao said: "I have a point. He carried the Taoist and walked to the front of the main hall, untied the horse, jumped on it himself, put the Taoist on the horse, and ran all the way until he reached the bottom of the city. He put the Taoist down and fled.
Niu Gao shouted at the city: "Marshal Yue was ordered to lead the troops here to suppress the thieves, why didn't the magistrate come out to greet him, is it so bold?" The sergeant defending the city reported to the prefect that he knew about it, and hurriedly opened the city to greet him, saying: "Lu Zhang, the prefect of Pingjiang, see the marshal." Niu Gao said: "Don't kowtow!" I am in charge of Niu Gao, there are three brothers, leading 10,000 soldiers, ten miles away from this place to camp, and the marshal of my family will arrive sooner or later. We've worked so hard for your place, don't we bring some wine and meat? Lu Zhang said: "It's just because I have been rectifying the affairs of the city for several days, and there is no report, and I don't know that the system is coming, so I am guilty!" Immediately send the wine and meat to the camp in person. Niu Gao said: "I don't care about you, but I want to send more." The prefect agreed again and again, and Niu Gao returned to the horse. Lu Taishou sighed: "Now that the troubled times are coming, no matter how big or small the official position is, as long as the ability is high and powerful, he is big." "I had to prepare the food and drinks, and send them to the table.
Let's say that Niu Gao went all the way back to the camp, Tang Huai asked: "Brother Niu, where have you been for half a day?" Niu Gao said: "What is the use of you sitting in the camp! I went to find Lu Zhang of Pingjiang Mansion, and wine and meat were sent immediately. When you see him, you need him to prostrate. Tang Huai said: "Brother Niu, you can't do this next time!" How much future do you have in control, aren't you afraid of people and monsters? ”
While he was talking, the sergeant reported: "Pingjiang is too guarded to send wine and meat outside." Tang Huai and the three brothers came out to welcome the camp. Lu Zhang met with everyone, and asked the servants to carry in how many banquets, pigs, sheep, and so on. Tang Huai called to accept it, and Qi said: "It's hard for your mansion!" Where is the den of thieves? Where is the thief now? Lu Zhang said: "Here Taihu Lake, 36,000 hectares, heavy 72 peaks. There are two high mountains in the middle: East Dongting Mountain in the east and West Dongting Mountain in the west. The east mountain is where the thieves camp and settle down, and the west mountain is the place where the thieves gather grain and grass. There were five or six thousand soldiers, and four or five hundred ships. The head of the thief is called Yang Hu, and the marshal is called Hua Pufang. He relied on his ability on the water, and made a big statement that he wanted to take me to the world, and he would come here from time to time to burn and rob. The general said that there was originally a soldier and horse supervisor Wu Neng here in this mansion, and he managed 5,000 men and horses to guard here, but he was deceived by the water thief and led to the Taihu Lake, where the ambush soldiers rose together, and he was caught and killed by him, and more than half of the 5,000 men and horses were injured. Therefore, the subordinate officials were in a hurry and asked for troops to be recruited. Marshal Yue and the generals are here today, which is really a great blessing! Tang Huai said: "Your mansion just rest assured!" Even the five or six hundred thousand horses of the Golden Vulture were also killed by us, not to mention such a little Kou? However, boats must be used on the water, no matter how big or small, and the noble government should be in order, and there should be more sailors on standby. The young generals will move their camp to the Taihu Lake tomorrow to defend, and when the marshal arrives, they will start to attack his lair. Governor Lu said: "Take the order, and when the next official is ready, he will go and straighten it out." "After that, he said goodbye and returned to the city, and went to prepare the ships and sailors, and they all anchored at the mouth of the water to listen.
However, it was said that Tang Huai and the other four generals would set off from the village until Shuikou, set up camp along the lake, and look at the evening, Tang Huai said: "Brothers! Don't take these robbers too lightly! The four of us, each with ten small boats, were divided into four roads to patrol the Taihu Lake to prevent thieves from robbing the camp. How are you? Everyone said: "Brother Tang is very right. At that moment, he ordered forty small boats, twenty soldiers on each boat, and each of them received ten of them, and moored them along the key points of Taihu. It was around the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Niu Gao ate some wine, sat on the bow of the boat, and saw that the moonlight was bright and interesting, so he asked the sailor: "Why do you dog heads moor the boat and not shake it to the middle of the lake to patrol the sentry?" The sailor said: "The little ones dare not shake to the middle, for fear that the robbers will come and they will not be able to retreat for a while." Niu Gao shouted: "Fart! My lord came to take the thief, is he afraid of his relatives? I am now on a boat as on a horse, and if I will whip up, you will wave it up. If you don't obey the order, you will be killed! The sailors replied, "Yes!" "Shake the boat out of the way. Nine small boats followed. Niu Gao sat on the bow of the boat, seeing that the moon was in the sky, the sky was followed by the water, it was really the same color, and the wine was excited, and he shouted: "Get the wine!" Whip me up! "Niu Gao is eating wine, and the sailor is shaking. Niu Gao shouted again: "Whip!" The sailors did not dare to disobey, but looked at the center of the lake.
Suddenly, he saw a three-lane canopy warship rocking down, and the sailor said: "Master Qishangniu: the one who came ahead is the thief ship!" Niu Gao said: "Wonderful, whip me up!" The sailors had no choice but to watch the ship rock. Niu Gao stood up and wanted to get steel, but the boat was small and heavy, and his feet were already a little soft. Who would have thought that the big ship would take advantage of the smooth wind and water and crash down, and it was touching the bow of Niu Gao. Niu Gao couldn't stand steadily, and with a plopping sound, he fell into the middle of the lake. The marshal Hua Pufang on the warship, who could see it clearly on the bow of the ship, also jumped into the water, scooped up the ox, tied the ropes, turned the bow of the ship, and led to the cottage.
The sailors on the small boat, frightened, turned the bow of the boat with the nine sergeants, looked for Tang Huai's boat to report the news, and carefully told Niu Gao about the whipping and the thief being taken away. Tang Huai burst into tears, and then summoned all the brothers to discuss saving him. Zhang Xian and Wang Gui didn't have any ideas, and said: "This vast Taihu Lake, and there is nowhere to find out a message, so I have to wait for Brother Yue to come again." The three brothers stayed in their own hands and paid no attention.
Besides, Hua Pufang captured Niu Gao, returned to the boat and came to Dongting Mountain, waited for the dawn, and played Yang Hu and said: "The minister won a general last night, and he is Yue Fei's forerunner, named Niu Gao, waiting for the lord to fall." Yang Hu immediately ordered: "Bring it in!" The sergeants on both sides responded: "Scared! "I'm about to push Niu Gao in front of me. Yang Hu said: "Niu Gao, since you have been captured and seen a lonely family, why don't you kneel?" Niu Gao's eyes widened, and he scolded: "Nameless grass thief! My old man Niu was drunk last night, and his house fell into the water, and he was caught by you by mistake. If you don't bow to me, but ask me to kneel, aren't you a blind thief? Yang Hu said: "It's okay, the lonely family won't kill you." If you submit to me, you will also be a pioneer, and go to the Song Dynasty to take the world? Niu Gao said: "Let your mother's donkey fart!" My old man Niu is upright, and he is the commander of the imperial court, so I came to surrender you, a thief who steals chickens and dogs? If you are willing to listen to the good words of the master, let the master go, discuss with you, burn this black cottage, pack up some grain and grass, surrender to my eldest brother Yue, and go to catch the golden vulture together, you will naturally play your merits and make you a big official. If you refuse to listen to my master's kind words, kill him quickly. When my eldest brother Yue arrives, he will have to take you and break your corpse into thousands of pieces, will he spare you? Yang Hu was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Take it and cut it!" The knife and axe men on both sides agreed, pushing Niu Gao down. Exactly: the poor young heroic general, a man who drinks blood with a dinner knife! After all, I don't know what Niu Gao's life is, and listen to the next decomposition.
