It is said that Song Jiang lived up to Chao Gai's last words and wanted to give up the main position to Lu Yuanwai. The crowd did not subside. Song Jiang said: "There is a shortage of money and grain in the cottage today, and there are two state capitals in Liangshan Bodong, but there is money and grain: one is Dongping Mansion and the other is Dongchang Mansion. We have not troubled his people. Today, I will ask him to borrow grain, but I can write down two lots, and Lu Yuanwai and I will each have one lot. If you break the city first, you will be the lord of Liangshan, how about it? Wu said, "It's okay." Lu Junyi said: "Hugh said so. It's just that the elder brother is the lord of Liangshan, and he obeys the dispatch. At this time, Lu Junyi was not responsible, and immediately called Pei Xuan, the iron-faced face, and wrote down two lots. Burn incense and pray to the heavens, one for each of them. Song Jiang is in charge of Dongping Mansion, and Lu Junyi is in charge of Dongchang Mansion. Everyone was speechless.

On the same day, a banquet was set up in the middle of drinking, and Song Jiang gave an order to allocate people. Song Jiang's subordinates: Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Liu Tang, Shi Jin, Xu Ning, Yan Shun, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Han Tao, Peng Yi, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Wang Xiaohu, Yi Zhangqing, Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang, Sun Xin, Gu Sister-in-law, Shi Yong, Yu Baosi, Wang Dingliu, Duan Jingzhu, 25 large and small leaders, 10,000 Ma Bu soldiers; The three leaders of the navy, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi, led the navy to respond by boat. Lu Junyi's subordinates: Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, Suo Chao, Yang Zhi, Shan Ting, Wei Dingguo, Xuanzan, Hao Siwen, Yan Qing, Yang Lin, Ou Peng, Ling Zhen, Ma Lin, Deng Fei, Shi En, Fan Rui, Xiang Chong, Li Gon, Shi Qian, Bai Sheng, 25 large and small leaders, 10,000 Ma Bu soldiers; The three leaders of the navy, Li Jun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng, piloted the sailors to answer the boat. The rest of the leaders and the wounded guarded the fence.

The score has been decided. Song Jiang and the leaders went to fight Dongping Mansion; Lu Junyi and the leaders went to fight Dongchang Mansion. The many chieftains descended the mountain separately. This is the first day of the first month of March, the day is warm and windy, the grass is green and the sand is soft, just fighting.

However, it was said that Song Jiang led the troops to Dongping Mansion, only forty miles away from the city, and the place name was Anshan Town, and the military horses were tied. Song Jiang said: "Dongping Mansion is too shou Cheng Wanli and a soldier and horse eunuch, who are from Shangdang County in Hedong. This person's surname is Dong, his name is Ping, and he is good at making double guns, and everyone is called "double gun general"; There is the courage of ten thousand people. Although he went to fight his city, he also communicated some courtesies with him, and sent two people and a letter of war to go there. If he is willing to surrender, he will not be moved; If they do not listen, they will be slaughtered without resentment. Who would dare to go to the next book with me first? I saw my subordinates walking through Yu Bao's four roads: 'The villain recognizes Dong Ping, and he is willing to go down.' I also saw that my subordinates turned to Wang Dingliu and said, "The younger brother is new, and he has not contributed to the cottage, so I am willing to help him go today." Song Jiang was overjoyed, and then wrote a war letter and went down with Yu Baosi and Wang Dingliu. The book only talks about borrowing grain.

It is said that Cheng Taishou of Dongping Mansion heard that Song Jiang had set up troops and horses to camp in Anshan Town, so he asked Dong Ping, the commander of the soldiers and horses in Benzhou, to discuss the important military situation.

As he was sitting, the doorman reported: 'Song Jiang sent someone to write a war letter. 'Cheng Taishou called. Yu Baosi and Wang Dingliu met in court and presented the book. Cheng Wanli read the book and said to Dong Dujian: "If you want to borrow money and grain from this government, how about this matter?" Dong Ping was furious when he heard this, and called out to push him out, even if he was beheaded. Cheng Taishou said: 'No! Since ancient times, "the two countries are at war, and they do not kill each other". It is not appropriate to be polite. Only beat the two of them with 20 sticks and sent them back to the original village to see how he did. Dong Ping was angry, drank Yu Baosi and Wang Dingliuyi and overturned the rope, beat the skin and flesh, and pushed out of the city. The two returned to Dazhai and cried to Song Jiang and said: 'Dong Ping is rude, so he looks down on Dazhai! Song Jiang saw that he had beaten two, and he was full of anger, so he wanted to swallow Zhou County. First call Yu Baosi and Wang Dingliu to get on the car and return to the mountain to rest. I saw Wenlong Shijin get up and say: "When the younger brother was in Dongping Mansion, he had a relationship with a prostitute in the courtyard, called Li Mianlan, and he was familiar with each other. Now I have taken some more gold and silver, and I have gone into the city, and I have rested in his house. On a fixed day, my brother can fight the city. As soon as Dong Ping came out to fight, I climbed to the drum tower and set a fire. The inside and outside should be combined, and it can become a big thing. Song Jiang said: "The best." Shi Jin immediately packed up the gold and silver, put it in the baggage, hid the hidden weapon beside him, and stood up with his bow. Song Jiang said: "Brother is good at convenience, and I will not move." Let's say that Shi Jin went into the city and went to the house of Li Sleepan in Xiwazi. The uncle was taken aback when he saw that it was Shi Jin; Inside, call your daughter out to see you. Li Yilan led her upstairs to sit, and asked Shi Jindao: "Why haven't you seen your head all along?"

I heard that you have become a king in Liangshanbo, and the lawsuit will arrest you. In the past two days, there has been a lot of noise on the streets, saying that Song Jiang is coming to the city to borrow grain, why did you get here? Shi Jindao: "I won't tell you the truth: I am now the leader of Liangshanbo, and I have no meritorious. Now my brother is coming to the city to borrow food, and I have told you about your family preparations. I have now come to make a special work, and I have a bag of gold and silver for you, and you must not leak the news. Tomorrow is over, and I will take your family up the mountain to be happy. Li Sleepan Hulu agreed, accepted the gold and silver, and arranged for some wine and meat to be treated, but came to discuss with the uncle: "When he used to be a guest, he was a good man, so it is better to come and go in my house." Now that he has done a bad thing, if something happens, it is not a trick. The uncle said: "Liangshan Bo Song Jiang is a good man, not easy to mess with; But when you hit the city, everything is broken. If they still speak, they will break the city one day and come in, and they will not do anything with us. The goddess scolded: 'Old fool! What a hassle you have saved! As the ancient saying goes: "The bee stings into the arms, undresses and rushes." ”

It is a common practice in the world that those who surrender themselves are exempted from this crime! You go to Dongping Mansion to sue him and take him, so that you don't have a burden in the future! The uncle said, 'He has given a lot of silver and gold to my house, and he has nothing to do with him, so what is he buying us for?' The goddess scolded: 'Old brute! You say that, but it's like a fart! My family has trapped thousands of people, how can I fight for him! If you don't go to the first place, I will personally go to the yamen to complain and tell you that I am inside! The uncle said: "You don't want to have sex, and ask your daughter to live with him, Hugh has to "startle the snake" and eat him away. When I went to report to the public, I came to get it first, but I went to the first official. Let's say that when Shi Jin saw this Li Sleepan coming upstairs, he felt that his face was red and white. Shi Jin asked: 'What's wrong with your family, so frightened?' Li Sleepan said: "But just went up the ladder, stepped into the air, and fell into a fight, so I was flustered." When I couldn't fight for a cup of tea, I could only hear the sound of footsteps by the ladder, and someone rushed up; Shouting outside the window, dozens of public servants rushed upstairs and tied Shi Jin downstairs like a lion with his head in his arms, and went straight to the hall of Dongping Mansion. Cheng Taishou looked at it and scolded: "You have the guts to wrap your body! How dare you do it alone? If it weren't for Li Yaolan's father's first complaint, he would have mistaken my good people! Quickly recruit your reason, how did Song Jiang teach you? Shi Jin was silent. Dong Ping said: 'This kind of thief bones, how can he be willing to move if he doesn't fight!' Cheng Taishou shouted: "Fight this fight with me!" When they walked through the jailer's cell, they sprayed cold water on their legs, and beat each leg with a hundred sticks.

Shi Jin was tortured by him, but he didn't say anything. Dong Ping said: "And send this long flail to death row prisoners, and when Song Jiang is taken, it will be executed in Beijing together!" But it was said that Song Jiang had entered since the history, and he was ready to write a book with Wu Yong. Wu Yong read Song Gongming's book and said that Shi went to the house of the prostitute Li Mianlan to do fine work, and was shocked. In a hurry to talk to Lu Junyi, he came to see Song Jiang overnight and asked, 'Who told Shi to come in?' Song Jiang said: "He volunteered to go." said that this Li Xingshou was his old **, so he was very affectionate, so he went. Wu said: "Brother owes some advice, if Wu is here, he will go to the peace sect." has never been a house of prostitutes, welcoming the new and sending the old, and how many good people have been trapped. It is also watery and uncertain, even if there is kindness, it is difficult to get out of the hands of a pious woman. This person will definitely suffer now! Song Jiang asked Wu to use a plan. Wu Yong called Gu's sister-in-law: 'I'm bothering you to go for a while; You can pretend to be a poor woman, sneak into the city, and only beg. If there is some movement, the fire will be rushed back. If Shi Jin is imprisoned, you can go to the jailer and say, "If you have an old love, I want to send him a bite of food." In prison, he secretly told Shi Jin: "We will come to fight the city at the end of the moon, around dusk." You can arrange an escape plan for the fire and water. "At the end of the moonlit night, you set fire to the city, and you will march here, so that things can be done. --The elder brother can fight Wenshang County first, and the people will inevitably go to Dongping Mansion; But asked Gu's sister-in-law to be mixed in the number, and when she entered the city, no one was aware of it. Wu used the design to stop, and went back to Dongchang Mansion on the horse. Song Jiang pointed out Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, and led more than 500 people to attack Wenshang County. Sure enough, the people helped the old and the young, and the rats ran and the wolves ran, and they all rushed to Dongping Mansion.

But he said that Gu's sister-in-law had a fluffy bun and blue clothes, and she was mixed with the crowd, and she came to the city and begged on the street. Before going to the state office, I inquired and found that Shi Jin was indeed in prison. The next day, carrying a rice can, he only went to serve in the prison department. Seeing a young husband coming out of prison, Sister-in-law Gu looked at it and worshipped, tears falling like rain. That year, the old man asked, 'What are you doing crying, poor woman?' Sister-in-law Gu said: "Shi Dalang in prison is my old master, and since he left, it was ten years earlier. only said that he was doing business on the rivers and lakes, but I don't know why he was in prison? Seeing that there was no one to deliver food. The old body called Hua to take this bite of food, and he especially wanted to satisfy his hunger. How can my brother be pitiful, and he will introduce it. It's as strong as building a seven-story pagoda! The man said, "He is a strong man from Liangshanbo, and he is guilty of a crime worthy of death, who dares to take you in." Sister-in-law Gu said: "It's a blade and a cut, and he teaches himself to be blind." It's pitiful to see that the old man is brought in to deliver this meal, and it also seems to be the old days! Then he cried again.

The old man pondered, 'If it is a man, it is difficult to bring him in; A woman's house, very powerful! At that time, the sister-in-law went straight to the prison and saw Shi Jin wearing a shackle around his neck and a rope around his waist. Shi Jin saw Sister-in-law Gu, was taken aback, and couldn't make a sound. Gu's sister-in-law pretended to cry on one end and fed her on the other. The other ranks came and shouted, 'This is a damned villain! "Prison is not ventilated", who let you deliver food! Get out and spare you! Sister-in-law Gu couldn't live anymore, so she only said: 'The moon is over...... Call you...... Self-struggling. When Shi Jin wanted to ask again, Sister-in-law Gu was knocked out of the prison door by the subsection. Shi Jin could only hear the words 'moonlit night'. It turned out that March was the end of the day. On the twenty-ninth, Shi Jin was in prison, and when he saw two sections talking, he asked, 'What time is this day?' But the subsection made a mistake, and replied: "Today is the end of the moon, and I will buy a lonely soul paper to burn at night." Shi Jin got this, and he couldn't wait to be late. A sub-section was half-drunk, and took Shi Jin to the water and fire pit, Shi Jin coaxed the sub-section and said: 'Who is behind it?' Then he turned back, broke free from the flail, and with only one flail, struck the barn straight on the plane, and knocked him to the ground. He picked up bricks and knocked on the wood, and with his eyes open, he snatched it to the heart of the pavilion; Several dukes were drunk and beaten head-on by Shi Jin, and they died and left. Pull open the cell door and wait for the outside to help. And he released all the sinners in the prison, and there were fifty or sixty of them, and they began to cry out in the prison.

Someone reported that it was too guarded. Cheng Wanli's face was so shocked that he hurriedly asked the soldiers and horses to discuss. Dong Ping said: 'There must be a fine work in the city, and many people have besieged this thief! I took this opportunity to lead the army out of the city to catch Song Jiang; The prime minister guarded the city, rubbed dozens of people to surround the prison gate, and left the church! Dong Ping got on his horse and ordered the army to go. Cheng Taishou lit up a section level, Yu Hou, and Escort, each holding a gun and a stick, and went to the prison to shout. Shi Jin didn't dare to go lightly in prison. The people outside did not dare to go in. Sister-in-law Gu only screamed bitterly.

However, he said that Dong Ping, the capital supervisor, ordered the soldiers and horses, got on the horse in the fourth watch, and killed Song Jiangzhai. Fulu Xiaojun reported to Song Jiang. Song Jiang said: "This must be Sister-in-law Gu's loss in the city again." He slew and prepared to meet the enemy. 'Give the order, and all the armies will rise. At that time, the sky was bright, but it was good to catch Dong Ping's military horses. Two swings open the formation. Dong Ping came out. --It turns out that Dong Ping is ingenious, three teachings and nine streams, and knows everything; Pinzhu tunes the strings, nothing will happen; Shandong and Hebei are both called him 'Merry Double Gun General'.

Song Jiang looked at Dong Ping's character before the battle, and he was happy when he saw it. I also saw a small flag in his quiver, and wrote a couplet on it: 'Heroes with two spears, merry marquis.' Song Jiang sent Han Tao out to meet the enemy. Han Tao held the iron lance in his hand and took Dong Ping directly. Dong Ping's pair of iron guns are elusive, and people can't be people. Song Jiang then asked the golden gunner Xu Ning to go back to Han Tao with a sickle. Xu Ning Pegasus came out and caught Dong Ping to fight. The two fought on the battlefield to more than 50 times, regardless of victory or defeat. After a long battle, Song Jiang was afraid that Xu Ning would lose, so he taught Ming Jin to withdraw his army. Xu Ning came back, Dong Ping raised two guns in his hand, and chased straight into the battle. Song Jiang took advantage of the momentum and showed his whip, and surrounded the soldiers from all sides.

Song Jiangle immediately visited Gaofu and saw Dong Ping surrounded in the formation. If he throws to the east, Song Jiang will look the flag to the east, and the army will come to surround him; If he throws himself to the west, the banner will look westward, and the horses will come west to surround him. Dong Ping rampaged in the formation, two guns, straight to the back of Shen Pai, rushed out of the way, and killed. Song Jiang didn't rush. Dong Ping saw that the battle was unwinnable, so he collected his army and returned to the city that night. Song Jiang raised troops overnight and arrived at the city, where he was surrounded by troops. Sister-in-law Gu didn't dare to set fire to the city, and Shi Jin didn't dare to come out. Twice refused.

It turned out that Cheng Taishou had a daughter, who was very colorful, and Dong Ping had no wife. Accumulation makes people ask for relatives, but Cheng Wanli is not allowed.

Therefore, there are some disagreements in daily life. Dong Ping led the army into the city that night; On the same day, a person in the house took advantage of the situation to ask about this family. Cheng Taishou replied: 'I am a civil official, he is a military attaché, and it is legitimate for him to be his son-in-law. It's just that now the thieves are coming to the city, and the matter is in danger, if you return it, you will be ridiculed. When the thieves are retreated and the city is protected, it is not too late to discuss relatives. The man replied to Dong Ping. Although Dong Ping replied: 'Yes', he hesitated in his heart, and he was not very happy, I am afraid that he will not want in the future.

Here Song Jiang attacked tightly overnight, and Taishou urged him to fight. Dong Ping was furious, put on his horse, led the three armies, and went out of the city to fight. Song Jiang was under the banner of the front gate of the battle, and shouted: "Measure you, a widowed general, how can I have 100,000 soldiers under me and 1,000 fierce generals; But if you come early, you will come down early, and you will not be killed! Dong Ping was furious and replied: "Literate little official, damn madman, how dare you talk nonsense!" With that, he raised his two guns and went straight to Song Jiang. There is Lin Chong on the left, Hua Rong on the right, and the two generals come out together, each with weapons to fight Dong Ping. The number is combined, and the two generals will go. Song Jiang's army and horses feinted defeat and scattered in all directions.

Dong Ping wanted to be brave and rushed over. Song Jiang and the others retreated to the border of Shouchun County. Song Jiang walked in front, and Dong Ping chased behind. It is more than ten miles away from the city, and it is a village and town, with grass huts on both sides and a post road in the middle. Dong Ping didn't know what the plan was, so he just cared about the horse and rushed over. Song Jiang saw that Dong Ping was very good, and overnight he had made Wang Xiaohu, Yizhangqing, Zhang Qing, and Sun Erniang bring more than 100 people, first ambushed on both sides of the thatched house, but tied a few tripping ropes on the road, and covered them with thin soil.

Dong Ping was in a hurry and came there, only to hear Kong Ming and Kong Liang shouting behind him: 'Don't hurt my master!' But when he got to the hut, a gong sounded, and the doors on both sides opened, and the ropes were raised. But the horse waited to turn back, stumbling on the horse's back, tripping the horse, and Dong Ping fell off the horse.

On the left, Yizhang Qing and Wang Xiaohu came out, and Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang walked out on the right, and they all went up together and arrested Dong Ping.

Helmets, armor, spears, and horses, all of them were taken. The two female leaders caught Dong Ping and tied him with hemp rope.

Two female generals, each holding a steel knife, imprisoned Dong Ping to see Song Jiang.

However, it was said that Song Jiang passed the thatched hut, reined in his horse, stood under the green poplar tree, and met the two female leaders to relieve Dong Ping. Song Jiang immediately shouted back from the two female generals: "I'll teach you to invite General Dong Ping, who will teach you to tie him up!" The two daughters retreated. Song Jiang hurriedly dismounted, came to untie his rope, took off his armor and brocade robe, wore it with Dong Ping, and bowed his head.

Dong Ping hurriedly replied.

Song Jiang said: "If General Meng does not abandon the lowly, he will be the master of the cottage." Dong Ping replied: "The young general will be captured, and the death is still light." If you are forgiven, you will be very lucky! If it is said that the cottage is the main, the young will be frightened. Song Jiang said: "We are short of food, so I came to Dongping Mansion to borrow food, and I have no other intentions." Dong Ping said: "Cheng Wanli's house was originally Mr. Tong Guanmenxiamen; To get this beautiful appointment, and to be safe and not harm the people? If the elder brother is willing to allow Dong Ping to go back, he will open the city gate, enter the city, and get money and food together, as a reward. Song Jiang was overjoyed. He ordered the group to pass the armor, guns and horses, returned Dong Ping, and put on the horse. Dong Ping was in front, Song Jiang was behind, rolled up the flag, and all went to Dongping City. Dong Ping's army rode in front and shouted: 'Open the city gate quickly!' When the sergeant of the gate shone the torch, he recognized it as Dong Dujian, and immediately opened the city gate and lowered the drawbridge.

Dong Ping slapped the horse first and cut the iron lock; Behind him, Song Jiang and the others drove people into the city. All to Dongping Mansion. Urgent order: Do not kill people and set fire to people's houses. Dong Ping went to the private office, killed Cheng Taishou's family, and took the daughter. Song Jiang first called out the prison and rescued Shi Jin. He opened the treasury and took all the gold and silver treasures; The warehouse is opened, and the grain and rice are loaded on the car; First, he was escorted to Liangshan Pojin Beach, and the delivery was handed over to the leader of Sanruan. Shi Jin led people to Li Menglan's house in Wazi Xili, and broke the old and young women into pieces. Song Jiang scattered the residents with too much furniture, and still gave notices along the streets, telling the people: the state officials who harmed the people have committed suicide; Thou art and other good people, each in peace. The notice has been stopped, and the army is packed up. The generals and colonels went to Ansan Town, and saw Bai Sheng, the day rat, rushing forward to report the battle in Dongchang Mansion.

When Song Jiang heard this, his eyebrows were raised, his strange eyes widened, and he shouted: "Don't go back to the mountain, many brothers, come with me!" Exactly: redrive the heroes of Shuibo and recapture Dongchang Splendid City.
