The poem says:

Nandu Junchen is drunk, and half of the country is lonely. The court is now small, where is the best way to ride a donkey?

These four lines of poetry were written by a literati named Lian Heng on the island of Taiwan, talking about Han Shizhong, a famous general of the Song Dynasty, who was one of the famous "Four Generals of Zhongxing". Which four generals? Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, and Han Shizhong are also. Han Shizhong has been fighting horses all his life, and he has made great achievements, but he can't get rid of the fate of "flying birds and hiding good bows". Han Shizhong resigned in his later years, thanked the guests behind closed doors, and said nothing. Compared with Yue Fei, who was killed on "trumped-up" charges, Han Shizhong was already lucky. At this time, the emperor of the dynasty was Gaozong Zhao Gou, who only sought a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, and insisted on making peace with the Jin State, Yue Fei had 100,000 heavy soldiers, and had wide appeal, but he didn't know the sacred heart, and every time he said wildly, "go straight to the Yellow Dragon and welcome back the two saints", how could Zhao Gou not guard against him? Therefore, by the hand of Qin Hui, he weaved a "trumped-up" charge and killed Yue Fei. If it is said that Han Shizhong is "all the birds are flying, and the good bow is hidden", Yue Fei is "the cunning rabbit is not dead, and the lackeys have been cooked". Han Shizhong is loyal and upright, does not attach himself to the ministers, and is ineffective for Yue Feiming, and resigns from the official office in anger, calling himself a cool layman, only caring about being at ease, every time he rides a donkey and travels with wine, but he suffers from the narrow boundaries of the south of the Yangtze River, and the scenery is small and exquisite, but it is not a place to ride a donkey.

It is said that the Song Dynasty opened the foundation since Taizu established the way of "emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts", which avoided the pain of separating feudal towns, but buried the root cause of losing power and humiliating the country. According to legend among the saints of the Song Dynasty, there was no lord of debauchery and tyranny, but he was gentle and appeased. For example, Zhenzong Zhao Heng signed the "Alliance of Lanyuan" with the Liao State, although the Song and Liao Dynasty had not been at war for a hundred years, but the Great Song Dynasty cut off the sixteen states of Youyun, and had to lose Jin Najuan and the Liao State in exchange for the Liao State not to invade the south, how weak and shameful! It also made the Great Song Dynasty forget to fight and go to the army, and the armament was abolished. Passed to Huizong Zhao Ji, gifted, intelligent, poetry and songs, hundreds of schools, omnipotent, omniscient. He is good at calligraphy and creates his own calligraphy "thin gold body". Fine painting, good at flower and bird painting. However, he favored the traitorous and appointed the traitor Cai Jing as the prime minister, and gathered a group of traitorous ministers such as Gao Yu and Tong Guan under his command to flatter the upper and exploit the people below. What he did was to build Gen Yue, pick flowers and stones, accept bribes, appoint private individuals, cultivate immortals and serve the Tao, and travel to prostitution, none of which was the right thing to govern the world, resulting in chaos and decadence of the country. After the Liao State weakened, the Jin State rose, and finally the Jin destroyed the Liao. When the Jin soldiers attacked, the Song Dynasty was defeated with one blow, and the "two saints" were captured by the second blow to the city of the Five Kingdoms. The so-called "two saints", Huizong Zhao Ji, Qinzong Zhao Huan also. The three blows were Gaozong Zhao Gou to avoid the south of the Yangtze River, divide the river and rule, and send half of the splendid country to the Jin State in vain. Later generations commented: "Song Huizong can do everything, but he can't be a king!" ”

During the Xuanhe period of Huizong of the Great Song Dynasty, Song Jiang and other one hundred and eight people gathered in Liangshanbo, although they were in the green forest, they were loyal and righteous, and they specialized in doing things for the heavens. After receiving Zhao'an, the imperial court sent Song Jiang to lead one hundred and eight people, conquered Daliao, exterminated Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La, established outstanding meritorious services, and the soldiers died and died in the country. On the day when Song Jiang pacified Jiangnan and returned to Beijing, only three-tenths of the poor survivors were scored. But the traitorous ministers still spared him, and did everything they could, and killed Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Wu Yong, Hua Rong, Li Kui and others. In the end, there were only thirty-two people left: Gongsun Sheng, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Chai Jin, Li Ying, Zhu Tong, Dai Zong, Li Jun, Ruan Xiaoqi, Yan Qing, Zhu Wu, Huang Xin, Sun Li, Xiao Rang, Pei Xuan, Yang Lin, Ling Zhen, Jiang Jing, An Daoquan, Huangfuduan, Fan Rui, Jin Dajian, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Song Qing, Le He, Mu Chun, Du Xing, Zou Run, Cai Qing, Sun Xin, and Gu Dasao. Of these thirty-two people, some went to serve as officials, some worshipped in front of the emperor, some lived in seclusion, some abandoned their posts and returned to farming, and some cultivated the truth and learned the Tao. They are scattered in all directions, like the line of beads and the words of leaves, and they can no longer be collected in one place. Each voted for the master, each went to the future, and some voted for the hostile camp, and in the end they had to fight for their lives, life and death forever. How sad it is to end up like this!

However, when Song Jiang conquered Wang Qing, he had already alarmed the eight immortals in the upper realm. The Eight Immortals? Tie Guan Li, Zhong Liquan, Lan Caihe, Zhang Guolao, He Xiangu, Lu Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, and Cao Guo's uncle are also. On this day, the eight immortals gathered together and chatted about the next thing. Zhang Guolao sighed: "Song Jiang really worked hard, conquering Daliao, Tianhu, and Wangqing, all of which attacked the city and uprooted the village, destroying the withered and decaying. It's a pity that when he conquered Fangla, he was doomed to a miserable defeat, and only three percent of the one hundred and eight people remained. and can't avoid the traitor's harm, pinch his fingers and calculate, and in the end there are only thirty-two people left. Lu Dongbin disagreed, and raised the bar and said, "How can I see that there are only thirty-two people left?" When Tie Guan Li heard this, he shouted: "This is the will of heaven, what do you want?" "Lu Dongbin is a troublemaker, how can Tie Guan Li not know? Lu Dongbin smiled: "How dare I blow the will of heaven? is just thinking, if you find a person, only teach him pure yang kung fu, but do not teach him to save people. Whether he can save people or not depends on creation. Zhong Liquan was beside him, pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, "The person you ignited has a blood disaster in his life, and he must be saved again." Lu Dongbin said: "Why not save his life again." Zhang Guo said: "If you can save people, you can't save the country!" Zhong Liquan said: "If you can save it for a while, you can't save a lifetime." Lu Dongbin said: "If you can save people, you must save people first, and if you can save them for a while, it will be a while." "Instigated He Xiangu to go down to earth together and came to Yingping Mountain in Dantu County. Lu Dongbin turned into a wild ape, a young man in the photo, and passed on his pure yang kung fu. He Xiangu fell in love with a wild girl, and Lu Dongbin laughed and said, "This little girl is only five or six years old. If you want to enlighten her, you have to live a long time. He Xiangu said angrily: "Who is my picture, I want you to take care of it!" Flicking his sleeves away, Lu Dongbin hurriedly followed. The two immortals came to Hangzhou, and looked down from the air, in the bustling Hangzhou military and civilians, He Xiangu was a woman. He Xiangu said: "Okay, this person's surname is He, and he has the same surname as me." He tilted the lotus flower in his hand and dropped a drop of fairy dew on the woman's head. He Xiangu shouted: "Whether you can save people or not, it all depends on creation!" Lu Dongbin laughed and returned to the fairy world with He Xiangu. That little brother, that woman, is really edified, and finally saved the two heroes of Liangshan. In the end, of the one hundred and eight people in Song Jiang, thirty-four remained, not thirty-two.

The words are endless, back to the point, and start with Song Jiang's conquest of Fang La.

The first time, Yuling Guan, Xue Yongzhong, and Shen Ling, Dantu County, gave a knife

Let's quote a paragraph from "Water Margin":

It is said that during the Xuanhe period of Emperor Huizong of the Great Song Dynasty, the Pingnan vanguard made Song Jiang lead the army to cross the Yangtze River and conquer Fangla. After capturing Hangzhou, Song Jiang and Lu Junyi, the deputy vanguard, divided their troops into two routes, Song Jiang commanded the 36 members of the Zhengbian general Zuo to capture Muzhou and Wulongling, and Lu Junyi led the Zhengbian general Zuo 28 to capture Shezhou and Yuling Pass.

Not to mention Song Jiang, but said that since Lu Junyi divided his troops in Hangzhou, he commanded 28 generals and 30,000 horses, led troops to take the mountain road, passed through the hometown of King Qian in Lin'an Town, and went straight to Yuling Pass. The guard of the pass is a general under Fang La, nicknamed Xiao Yangyu Ji Pang Wanchun, and he is the first person in Fang La's country who can shoot bows and arrows. There are 5,000 men and horses under his command, guarding the Yuling Pass. Hearing that Lu Junyi had led troops to arrive, he was ready to deploy weapons against the enemy, just waiting for the incoming army to be close.

Lu Junyi's army and horses approached the front of Yuling Pass, and on that day, he sent Shi Jin, Shi Xiu, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Li Zhong, and Xue Yong to lead 3,000 infantry troops to go out of the outpost. At present, Shi Jin and other six generals rode war horses, and the rest were infantry troops, and they never bumped into a military horse when they reached the pass. Shi Jin was suspicious immediately and consulted with the generals. Before he could say anything, he had already come to the front of the pass. When I looked at it, I saw a colorful embroidered white flag erected on the gate, and a small Yangyouji Pang Wanchun stood under it, looked at Shi Jin and the others laughed, and scolded: "You gang of grass thieves, you have to live in Liangshanbo, how dare you come to me to pretend to be a good man in this country!" Have you heard the name of Koyoyuki? I heard that there is a little Li Guanghuarong in your gang, and he came out to compete with me. I'll teach you to look at my magic arrows first. Before he could say anything, the arrow of "whoosh" was in the middle of Shi Jin, and he came off the horse. Then I heard a gong on the top of the mountain, and the arrows were fired in the pine forests on the left and right, and the crossbow arrows rained down, and even if there were very heroes, they could not avoid such arrows. Poor Water Margin's six generals, all have a dream of Nanke. Shi Jin and the other six people never came out, and they were all shot to death in a bunch.

But the six were not dead. At that time, Xue Yong was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder and fell off his horse. Three or four arrows were in the war horse under his crotch, and he struggled a few times, but finally fell down and smashed heavily on Xue Yong. Xue Yong was so pained that he let out a "eh" and passed out. When I woke up, I don't know how many hours had passed, but I saw that the surroundings were densely packed with corpses, overlapping and full of arrows. Xue Yong stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow on his left shoulder, and immediately bled profusely. Go to the side and feel for the golden gun medicine and press it against the wound. It wasn't until it was dark that he couldn't see his five fingers, and Xue Yongfang struggled out of the pile of corpses and staggered down the mountain. Groggy and groggy, he stopped and stopped, and finally reached the foot of the mountain, and could no longer walk, and fell headlong on the side of the road.

The words are divided into two ends. However, it is said that there is a Yingping Mountain forty miles west of Dantu County, and there is a Shenjiazhuang in the mountain. The original owner's surname was Shen, so it was called Shenjiazhuang. The current owner of the village is surnamed Shen, who was originally a Fang Langzhong, and donated a court after joining the Shen family. Shenjiazhuang has three sons, the eldest Shen Ping, the second Shen Ling, and the third Shen Di. Shen Ping is honest and single-minded in charge of the farm; Shen Ling is shrewd and can do business, and there is a shop in the county seat, selling some endless grain and cloth from the village to sell. It's just that this third child, sixteen years old, seven feet long, hands over knees, thick body, arm strength, used to wearing an indigo jacket and trousers, the best can wear mountains and mountains. Accustomed to an iron fork, thirty or fifty people are not close to him. Because of the perennial mountains and mountains, the whole body is tanned, and he is known as the black ape Shen Di. This Shen Di made a fork and was given by a wild ape. When Shen Di was fourteen years old, a wild ape came to the edge of the village, beckoned to him, and asked him to enter the mountain together. When he came to the mountain, the wild ape suddenly made a human voice and taught him a set of fork techniques. The ape then disappeared into the woods and drifted away, without a trace. Shen Di has followed the old martial artist in Zhuangzhong since he was a child to practice fists, feet, knives and guns, horseback archery, but he is not as easy as the iron fork. Chaofeng found a blacksmith to make an iron fork, which was all iron and weighed forty-one pounds. This Shen Di made a fork, flying up and down, whirring. has two daughters, the eldest daughter, Shen Caiyun, who single-piped mulberry weaving; The youngest daughter, Shen Caihong, is fourteen years old, and since she was a child, she has followed the court to the mountain to collect medicine and take the pulse to prescribe prescriptions, but it is also surprising. Shen Ping, Shen Di, and Shen Caiyun were born to their ex-husbands, but Shen Di and Shen Caihong were born to Chaofeng.
