Tune "Linjiang Immortal"

It is said that Yang Hu was furious and ordered Niu Gao to be pushed out and beheaded. When there was a marshal Hua Pufang knelt down and said, "The lord has temporarily calmed the wrath of thunder." This Niu Gao is a brave general, and he is Yue Fei's righteous brother. That Yue Fei is the most righteous person, it is better to imprison him here, so that Yue Fei's heart is at both ends. At that time, he persuaded him to submit to the lord, why worry that the world of the Song Dynasty was not the lord's? Yang Hu obeyed, and ordered the dry clothes to be changed with Niu Gao, and took them to the forbidden, armor and weapons storage. Hua Pufang bowed and resigned from Yang Hu's palace. Rank, you say Yang Hu is a grass robber, how can he also have a palace? Just because he is strong and capturing, he occupies Dongting Mountain. There is wood on the mountain, and stone comes out. There was originally a palace of Emperor Guan on the mountain, so he packed it up and made it a palace. Gather some wood and stone, and generally build a harem, a warehouse, and a yamen house. At that time, Niu Gao was put in prison.

The next day, Hua Pufang prepared food and drink, and brought the servants to the prison gate. The sergeant of the prison guard greeted him in, sat down on the three grass halls, and asked, "Where is Master Niu?" Say I want to see you. The sergeant received the order and came to the back cell to greet him: "Marshal Hua invites Master Niu to meet." Niu Gao shouted: "Good dog head! If he doesn't come in, can't he call my master to meet him? The sergeant had no choice but to come out and kneel down and reply bluntly. Hua Pufang had no choice but to walk in by himself and say, "General Niu has seen the salute." Niu Gao said: "That's it." Hua Pufang ordered to come over left and right, and went to the torture instrument with Niu Ye. The sergeant agreed, and the torture instrument was gone. Hua Pufang said: "The little brother Muni has been famous for a long time, and now I see that my brother is unyielding, and he is really a good man." I want to be brothers with my brother now, I don't know if it's possible? Niu Gao said: "I shouldn't have accepted you, I was also born in Xiangma and has been a fair king, so I will accept you as a brother!" Hua Pufang worshipped Niu Gao as his brother, got up and sat next to him, and said: "If you don't give up, sooner or later, you will want my brother to teach some martial arts." Niu Gao said: "This is natural." Hua Pufang then ordered the servant: "Bring in the wine and food, and I will talk to Niu Ye." ”

After a while, from the people moved in and put down. Hua Pufang poured wine and sent it to Niu Gao, the two sat opposite each other, drank three cups, Niu Gao said: "Brother Hua, since you have become a brother with me today, I need to say serious things to you." At present, King Kang ascended the throne in Jinling and is a good emperor. My eldest brother Yue Fei is a hero who is unparalleled in the world, and there is a group of brothers who are all heroes. In a few days, he will go to the Huanglong Mansion and invite the two saints to return to the court. In the birth of his wife, he passed away and became famous through the ages. Your Yang Hu is just a nameless grass coward, what a big thing has you done? Why don't you abandon the darkness and surrender to the Song Dynasty, naturally seal your official position, and make contributions together, as it is better to help the robber touch the chicken and steal the dog here. Once you lose, you will be infamous for eternity, and you will be a hero in vain! That Hua Pufang originally wanted to persuade Niu Gao to return to obedience, but Niu Gao said it first, but he was speechless for a while, so he reluctantly agreed: "Today we will talk about eating and drinking, and don't discuss with other guests." ”

The two ate again. Hua Pufang thought secretly: "Let's find out how his troops are?" Then he asked: "The eldest brother said that Yue Fei was born somehow, and how many generals are there like the eldest brother?" Niu Gao thought to himself: "He doesn't dare to say that I surrendered, he will probe the truth in my camp, and wait for me to scare him!" Then he said: "Brother, have you never seen my eldest brother Yue, who was born like a god and has a majestic figure, and now he has some beards. Xiang picked the king of Xiaoliang with a gun in Bianjing, which is famous all over the world and everyone knows it. Now that the new Son of Heaven is worshiping the position of Marshal of the Capital, he will come to sweep your cottage today, and the virtuous brother must be careful! If you talk about those lieutenant generals: they have Tang Huai, they also love to wear white, and they also learn to use guns, and they are almost as good as their eldest brothers, only a few beards are missing. There is also Zhang Xian, who has a long and strong body, which makes him a good hook and a gun, and he is really elusive. There are also Wang Gui, Red Horse Golden Knife, who once tried to punish Wang Shan of Taihang Mountain in Bianjing, I don't know? The rest are Shi Quan, Zhou Xing, Zhao Yun, Liang Xing, Ji Qing, and the descendants of the heroes of Liangshan Zhang Guoxiang, Dong Fang, Ruan Liang, etc., which one is not very capable! The 100,800 soldiers led by my eldest brother Yue are famously called the 'Changsheng Army', and they have never been defeated in battle. If you say that the foolish brother has such a skill, it is not as good as my eldest brother's horse Zhang Bao and horse queen Wang Hengli! Hua Pufang listened to this and was skeptical. Seeing that Niu Gao was a reckless man, he was afraid that this was not true, so he had to praise a few words casually, and then got up and said goodbye: "I am fortunate to be taught today, and I will accompany you again in my spare time." Niu Gao said: "Brother Xian, please take it." Hua Pufang withdrew. Here the sergeant came up and said, "Little ones! Niu Gao said: "I know, bring it." The sergeants kowtowed, and put the instruments on them. This Niu Gao was detained on Dongting Mountain, and I don't know when it will take to get out of this difficulty? and press the slow watch.

However, it was said that Marshal Nayue led the soldiers to Taihu Lake for one day in Lufei, and Tang Huai and others had already come out of the camp to greet him. The marshal saw three people, but he didn't see Niu Gao, and he was very puzzled, but because he had just arrived, it was inconvenient to ask, and he ordered him to camp. Only three cannon shots were heard, and the camp was set up. Marshal Yue sat down in the camp, the magistrates had come to see him, and the soldiers stood on both sides. The father-in-law asked where Niu Gao was? Tang Huai told him about the drunken sailing and being taken away by the thief. The marshal was so troubled in his heart, he retreated to the back camp, sat for a while, thought for a while, and called Zhang Bao: "Go and invite Master Tang to come." Zhang Bao agreed, and immediately went to invite Tang Huai to the back camp and met the marshal. The marshal said: "The foolish brother will pretend to be an old brother tomorrow and go to the thief camp to find out the news of the false and real brothers." The virtuous brother can protect the handsome seal on behalf of the foolish brother, only saying that my body is unhappy and I can't raise the account. Tang Huai said: "My brother is the pillar of the country, how can he be in a heavy place?" Marshal Yue said: "Rest assured, virtuous brother! I have my own opinions, and there is no hindrance. Tang Huai was ordered to return to the camp, and he was not in a hurry.

The next day, Marshal Yue wrote the war book, took Zhang Bao and Wang Heng, quietly went to Shuikou, got off the boat, and looked at him in the water village. When he arrived at the village, the minions guarding the village shouted, "What boat?" Zhang Baoli replied on the bow of the ship: "It was Marshal Yue who commanded Master Tang Huai in front of the tent, and the marshal sent him to write a war letter." The minion said, "Let's live!" After the king, he gathered the boat. The minions hurriedly reported to Shangguan, and the leader of the pass listened, until he knelt down in front of the palace and said: "Your lord, Marshal Yue sent the deputy general Tang Huailai to issue a war letter, and he didn't dare to take advantage of others, and he waited for the order to decide." Yang Hu immediately ordered the propaganda officer: "Announce him to come in." At that time, Xiao Louluo opened the gate of the water village and let Marshal Yue's boat come in and moored it.

The father-in-law ordered the king to watch the boat sideways, and he went ashore with Zhang Bao. Look at the mountain situation carefully, it is really majestic, and the big stone is piled up on it for three passes, and there are flags and flags in it. A preacher had already come to the pass to pass the order: "The king has announced that he will come to see you." With his father-in-law to the front of the palace, Zhang Baozi waited outside the palace gate. Yue Ye entered the hall and knelt down and said: "Young general Tang Huai, at the order of the commander, there is a book to present to the king." Yang Hu said: "Since you are a deputy general, please get up and sit down." "Yue Ye thanked him and sat down. Yang Hu read the battle book, that is, after the original book, he commented: "It is allowed to surrender the troops in five days." Just as he was about to return the war book, he looked at his father-in-law again, and thought to himself: "Where does this person seem to have seen him?" I couldn't think of it for a while, and I thought for a while: "This person seems to be Yue Fei who speared King Liang in the martial arts field that year." Could it be that he has some beards? Don't miss it in person. So he sent a man to the prison and took out the ox. Here Yang Hu interrogated his father-in-law again, and the father-in-law chatted casually for a while.

In a short time, Niu Gao had arrived at the head of the temple. Zhang Bao was shocked, hurriedly came over and knelt down and said, "The villain kowtows." Niu Gao said: "Why are you here?" Zhang Baodao: "The villain followed Master Tang Huai to make a war here." Niu Gao didn't say anything anymore, and when he came in, he saw his father-in-law sitting, secretly complaining. went all the way to the palace, looked at Yang Hu and said, "What are you asking the master to come out for?" Yang Hu said: "Calling you out is not for anything else." If there are people in your camp here, send a letter telling them to surrender early and not be killed. Niu Gao said: "Where is the come?" Yue Ye was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he said secretly: "That's it!" There knew that Niu Gao looked at his father-in-law and shouted, "It turned out to be Brother Tang Huai!" You go back to the camp to worship Brother Yue, saying that my Niu Gao was captured by this grass coward by mistake, and when he died, he was also famous and famous for future generations. If he takes this traitor and takes revenge on me! After that, he pointed at Yang Hu and scolded: "Mao thief! I've sent my letter, kill me!" Yang Hu instructed: "Take Niu Gao to prison." General Tang, when you go back, you can pay tribute to your marshal, although Niu Gao was captured, he was not killed. If your marshal is willing to return to the lonely family, he will not lose the wealth of the marquis. If you want to engage in the army, I am afraid that I will miss it for a while and lose my reputation for a lifetime, wouldn't it be a pity! Tell him to discuss it early, and Hugh will regret it! "The father-in-law said goodbye to Yang Hu and took Zhang Bao all the way out. Wang Heng followed, and the father-in-law got into the boat, and the little minions opened the water fence and went out of the lake all the way back to the camp.

It just so happened that Hua Pufang sent grain back to the West Dongting and saw the king pay the decree. Yang Hu said: "Marshal Fang Cai Yue sent a deputy general Tang Huai to write a war letter, if the marshal comes early, he will meet him." Hua Pufang said: "What kind of character is Tang Huai?" Yang Hu said his face and figure. Hua Pufang said: "In this way, I'm afraid it's Yue Fei, pretending to be Tang Huai, to explore my reality." Yang Hu said: "I was also a little suspicious, so I asked Niu Gao to come out and ask." Hua Pufang said: "The lord doesn't know, that Yue Fei must have been brought by someone, or he saw it and handed over the news, and I don't know." Now that he is not far away, he will wait for the ministers to take him around. Yang Hu said: "Whether it's true or not, the Qing family will quickly go and get him." ”

Hua Pufang received the order, rushed to the water village, put a three-masted boat, and pulled the canopy to catch up. Hua Pufang stood on the bow of the boat and shouted, "Yue Fei, go there!" I'm also here! When the father-in-law turned around and saw that the boat was approaching, he asked Zhang Bao to take the slingshot and shouted: "Hua Pufang, let you see Ben Shuai's magic bullet!" As he spoke, a flick struck the mast and plugged the canopy. The canopy can't go up or down, and turn the boat around. Yue Ye called Wang Heng again, took the rocket, and shouted again: "Hua Pufang, look at Ben Shuai's magic arrow again!" "Three rockets were fired in succession, and the tent suddenly burst into flames and burned. The father-in-law shouted again: "Hua Pufang, look at this bullet of Ben Shuai, I want to hit your left eyeball!" Hua Pufang was so frightened that he ran backwards, and hurriedly told the sergeant to cut down the mast, and he couldn't put out the fire, and he dared to chase after him. Marshal Yue went to Shuikou safely and steadily, and went ashore to return to the camp. The brethren were brought into the camp and greetings were given. The marshal repeated the above matter. Everyone said: "Ask the marshal to start the army as soon as possible and save Brother Niu." The marshal said: "I see that thieves are rampant, and in the middle of the lake, if you can't hold out, how can you break it for a while?" ”

While they were talking, there was a rumor: "There are two fishermen who want to see the marshal." The father-in-law secretly thought: "The fisherman asks to see, somehow? "Immediately come in. Then he came to the tent with the fisherman, knelt down and kowtowed. As soon as the marshal saw the two men with thick eyebrows and big eyes, broad shoulders and long bodies, he asked, "What are your two names?" What's the point? The fisherman said: "The villain Geng Mingchu, this is the brother Geng Mingda." My two brothers originally lived here by the Taihu Lake, and they made a living by fishing. That year, this Yang Hu came, gathered people, occupied Dongting Mountain, and did not allow anyone to fish in the lake. So the villain fought with him a few times. This Yang Hu is very capable, the two little ones can't beat him, and he can't win the villain, so he became brothers with the villain, and only allowed the two of us to catch fish in the lake. He sent people to invite the little one to join him several times, but because his mother was at home, he was afraid that he would not be frightened, so he couldn't resign. Now I heard that the big man came to conquer Taihu Lake, and my brothers thought about how to catch fish, so they specially came to join the command, be a pawn, and hope that the big master will be included! Marshal Yue said: "That being said, you two are a handsome man who knows the times, please get up!" "I ordered to follow you:" You can lead the two to the back camp to change clothes and meet each other. The brothers of the Geng family thanked him, and the family went to the back camp to change their clothes, came out to salute Marshal Yue again, and knelt down. The marshal put his hands together and said, "Since you two have come to contribute to the country, you and I are the ministers of the same palace, why do you need to make this great gift?" You see, the lieutenants on both sides have become brothers with Ben Shuai, and now the two of them have also formed a righteous alliance with Ben Shuai. Brother Geng repeatedly excused himself, and the generals said, "We are all like this. Brother Geng couldn't refuse, so he had to bow a few times and salute the generals again. The marshal ordered a celebratory feast to be arranged, and all the generals of the joint venture drank merrily.

After drinking until he was half-drunk, the father-in-law asked Geng Mingchu: "Since the two virtuous brothers have intersected with Yang Hu, they must know that he uses soldiers and is real, and what skills he has, so he can occupy Taihu Lake, and the officers and soldiers can't help him?" Geng Mingchu said: "The marshal doesn't know, this Yang Hu is very good at water, but the land battle on the shore is limited. Among the generals under his command, only Marshal Hua Pufang and Xu Bin were more powerful, and the rest were normal. But he had four teams of ships that were very powerful, so the officers and men could not defeat him. When the marshal engages in troops, he must also be careful. The marshal said, "What kind of warship, just say so powerful?" Geng Mingchu said: "His first team has fifty, called 'artillery ships'. The ship was surrounded by artillery fire, and when the battle was fought, the fire was lit and set out at the same time, which was very difficult to parry. The second team, called the 'Ballista', also had the number fifty. There are waterwheels at the head and tail, and the bamboo fence is used to protect them, and the sergeants are like flying. A crossbow tower was erected on the surface of the ship, and the crossbow tower was made of raw cowhide as a shield, and the sergeant fired arrows on it. The sergeants downstairs of the crossbow also used a shield to protect their bodies, and each of them slashed people with long knives. Therefore, the officers and soldiers cannot block it. The marshal said, "What about the third team?" Geng Mingda said: "The third team of fifty is called the 'Water Ghost Ship'. The water ghosts in the boat were all hired in the coastal areas of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, and he could lie under the water for seven days and seven nights, and the fish he caught were eaten raw. If in the hour of war, the water spirits jump into the water, and dig through the bottom of the enemy's ship, and pour it into the water, will the ship not sink? He is the best of these three teams of ships. If it can be broken, this fourth team of Yang Hu's own warships is not to worry. The marshal said: "If it weren't for the two virtuous brothers here, how would the marshal know this?" This is the great blessing of the Son of Heaven! At that time, everyone was talking and laughing, and everyone was happy. Set up camp and rest with Brother Geng.

The father-in-law went to sleep in the tent and thought of a plan. Early the next morning, he quietly came to the back camp. Brother Geng hurriedly took him and sat down, and asked, "Why did the marshal come early?" Yue Ye said: "I have a confidential matter, I don't know if the two virtuous brothers are willing to do it?" Brother Geng said: "Thanks to the marshal's kindness, if there is a sending, although my two brothers go to the soup and fire, they will not dare to resign, and ask the marshal to give an order." Marshal Nayue whispered a few words to Brother Geng's ear, and there was a teaching: The tiger is in the deep forest, and the river is overturned in an instant; The bee lightning was three, and in a flash the fire and smoke flew. Exactly: the general's three arrows Tianshan is fixed, and Pixiu succeeds in the first battle. I don't know what Marshal Yue said, and listen to the next decomposition.
