Chapter 9: The father and son of the dervish meet each other

The poem says:

In the mathematical theory of life encounters, father and son meet on the side of the road.

The two places were separated from each other, and tears flowed when they met.

Poor and separated for a long time, the most joyful is eternal reunion.

The will of the people is the same, a lot of sorrow and a lot of joy!

It is said that Lu Jiugong 70,000 horses, known as 100,000, attacked Ping'an Prefecture, the vanguard troops were led by Deshui, stormed the east gate, and soon, Lu Jiugong's army arrived together, attacking the city on all sides, however, between attack and defense, it has always been the besieging side to attack and suffer. The defenders were condescending and victorious in their geographical advantages, and the attacking side had 70,000 troops, but there were many people. For a time, the city was up and down, screaming and killing, splashing blood, white blades flashing with cold light, and feather arrows swishing to grab people's hearts.

Lu Jiugong's troops focused on attacking the East City Gate, and Chen Zhiyuan personally went to the East Gate.

Lu Jiugong's original intention was to sneak attack, but he didn't expect the other party to be on guard. In fact, the defense in Ping'an Prefecture was originally to guard against Li Shijian, but he didn't want to face Lu Jiugong's sneak attack, which made his plan basically fail.

Chen Zhiyuan divided his troops to defend the city, used 40,000 horses, and had 10,000 soldiers on hand as a reserve. Hearing that Dongcheng was in a hurry, he led Shi Qiangsheng and other generals to support Dongmen with 3,000 men and horses.

When he arrived at the city gate, he saw that the other party was attacking the city, and as soon as he came and went with a horse, he commanded the siege, Chen Zhiyuan called Shi Qiangsheng and said:

"General Shi, did you see that the other party had done to that general, and use your magic shooting technique to destroy him for this Heavenly King!"

Shi Qiangsheng wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape from Ping'an Prefecture City and look for his sister, but when he saw that the enemy was surrounded on all sides and the siege was very urgent, he couldn't escape, so he immediately changed his mind: Okay, I will help him repel the enemy soldiers under this Chen Zhiyuan and then think about finding my sister.

At this time, Shi Qiangsheng heard that Chen Zhiyuan was going to shoot the enemy general by himself, and immediately said, "Get the order, please see the means of the last general!"

After that, Shi Qiangsheng stretched out his bow and set up an arrow, aimed at the general, and "swished" three arrows in a row!

Chen Zhiyuan could see clearly: The enemy general on the opposite side was hit by three arrows in his body, and he fell off his horse at that time, motionless, and was indeed destroyed!

On the east gate and on the city wall, there were cheers! But the besieging soldiers under the city lost their command and became in chaos. It turned out that the one who was killed by Shi Qiangsheng's arrow was the pioneer general under Lu Jiugong!

Lu Jiucheng watched Yu Deshui command the siege from the high ground in the distance, and was shocked when he saw him fall from his horse and die. So Lu Jiugong immediately led his men forward and came forward to command the men and horses to continue the siege.

On the upper floor of the East City Gate, Chen Zhiyuan saw it from afar, and said to Shi Qiangsheng:

"General Shi, have you seen the person wearing a yellow robe and sitting under the Heavenly King's umbrella? This person is Lu Jiugong! He originally occupied the Fallen Horse Prefecture as the foundation, but he didn't want to be taken over by that Zhang Yousan, so he had to go west to Anshun Prefecture. However, this Heavenly King never expected that he would want to take away my Ping'an Prefecture!"

As soon as Shi Qiangsheng heard that the person's name was Lu Jiugong, he remembered that his family was broken, and it was broken in the hands of this person's subordinates, and he had the intention of taking revenge on this person in his heart.

So Shi Qiangsheng asked Chen Zhiyuan for battle: "Heavenly King, take advantage of the current chaos of the enemy army, ask the Heavenly King to send the vanguard General Chang out of the city to counterattack, and the last general will assist, just hide on the side, waiting for the opportunity to shoot that Lu Jiugong!"

Chen Zhiyuan listened to it and nodded in agreement: "General Shi's plan is very good! Someone is coming, and General Chang and General Shi are ordered to lead 5,000 troops and go out of the city to counterattack!"

At that time, Chang Sheng led the troops out of the city, and Shi Qiangsheng hid under the flag gate. Although Chang Sheng didn't look at Li Shijian enough, at this time, against Lu Jiugong's subordinates, the big sword Chang Sheng was majestic.

The city went out of the city to fight back, and it was an accident for Lu Jiugong!

At that time, Chang Sheng suddenly danced his sword and rushed straight to the Chinese army, wanting to arrest Lu Jiugong. Lu Jiugong's subordinates will come out together, however, they can't stop him!

When Lu Jiugong saw it, he was also surprised: "This person must be Chen Zhiyuan's big sword Chang Win!"

It was also Lu Jiugong's life that should not be extinguished, when he saw that it was Chang Sheng who rushed towards him, Lu Jiugong drank and ordered all the generals to go forward to face the battle, but he drank and ordered his personal guards to protect him, and retreated in reverse.

Shi Qiangsheng was in the flag gate, and when he saw Lu Jiugong retreating, he turned his head, stretched his bow and sword, and shot at the generals who fought against Chang Sheng. It was almost one arrow, several arrows were shot, several generals fell off their horses, and the rest of the generals were shocked and walked away one by one!

The generals were defeated, and the soldiers naturally fled with them, so the siege of the East Gate was broken!

Seeing that the enemy army was defeated and fled, the broadsword waved and shouted, "Chase!" and led the victorious soldiers to chase after him!

Shi Qiangsheng also rushed forward at this time, chasing Lu Jiugong with Chang Sheng, and at the same time shooting arrows. It's just that the two sides are three hundred steps apart, and the shot misses, and Lu Jiugong escapes.

At this time, the gong sounded at the East City Gate, and Chang Sheng and Shi Qiangsheng led the troops back - since then, Chang Sheng has been much more affectionate to Shi Qiangsheng.

Chang Sheng said: "General Shi's magic arrow, Chang admires it tightly!"

Shi Qiangsheng said: "General Chang's big sword is powerful, which makes Lu Jiugong flee in the wind, and the last general admires it even more!"

For a while, the two of them laughed and came to see Chen Zhiyuan together.

At this time, the soldiers of Lu Jiugong at the East City Gate were defeated and fled, and the other three gates naturally broke the siege and retreated. When the news came, Chen Zhiyuan's subordinates were very happy.

Chang Sheng saw Chen Zhiyuan, so he asked: "Heavenly King, the last general is about to capture Lu Jiugong, I don't know why the gong sounded in the city and ordered Chang to collect his troops?"

Chen Zhiyuan said: "General Chang, General Shi, there is a capable man under Lu Jiugong, called Chang Sichen, I knew him before, this person is quite strategic;

Chang Sheng and Shi Qiangsheng listened to it, and they both thanked the king for his love. However, Chang Sheng always felt that there was still something insufficient in his heart.

Chen Zhiyuan recruited generals and arranged a counterattack on Anshun Prefecture occupied by Lu Jiugong.

However, he said that Lu Jiugong fled back, and only stopped at Baiyunling, at the junction of the two states, counted the men and horses, and defended on the spot; when he saw that the 70,000 army had broken nearly 20,000 horses, he was very unhappy.

Lu Jiugong discussed with Chang Sichen: "Mr. Chang, our army failed to sneak attack, but was defeated, and the general was defeated, and now there is no one under the account who is the opponent who often wins with the big sword, what should I do?"

Chang Sichen said: "That Chen Zhiyuan, the villain also knows, with his temperament, there will definitely be no vigilance, but my army is sneak attacking, but Ping'an Prefecture is precautionary, perhaps, this is a master to guide him Chen Zhiyuan; As for the constant victory, according to the villain, there is one person who can kill him in battle!"

Lu Jiu said fairly: "Who is so brave?"

Chang Sichen said: "The villain used to get acquainted with a person, the law name is Mingchen, this person is very brave, can drag the nine oxen upside down, fight the tiger empty-handed, and make a thick-backed single knife, weighing one hundred and eight pounds! ”

Lu Jiugong listened to it and said: "It turns out that you are talking about the dervishes, this person's whereabouts are uncertain, and the dragon is not visible, does Mr. Chang have any news about him?"

Chang Sichen said: "I heard the day before yesterday that he arrived at the Great Time Temple in Chengbei, Anshun Prefecture, and he was staying there, why don't I go to visit with the Heavenly King, and ask him to join our army, how about it?"

Lu Jiu said fairly: "His whereabouts are uncertain, but he has to hurry up!"

Chang Sichen said: "Please prepare a gift for the Heavenly King!"

Lu Jiu said fairly: "This is a natural thing. ”

So Lu Jiugong and Chang Sichen took a few guards and hurried to the Dashi Temple in Anshun Prefecture.

The dervish was there.

Chang Sichen entered the temple first to lobby the dervishes: "Master Mingchen is invited!"

When the dervishes saw this, he smiled and said, "It turns out that the permanent donor is here to make incense? This Dashi Temple is very far away from the donor's hometown!"

Chang Sichen said: "Master! Xiao Ke is not here to enter the incense, but to visit the master." ”

The dervishes said: "I talked for a long time and talked for half a year, but it turned out that the donor came here for the old man!"

Chang Sichen said with a smile: "Although the master is nearly fifty years old, Xiao Ke knows that the master is brave and martial, and the sword is not old, how can he say the word 'old'?

When the dervish monk heard this, he thought to himself, I am forty-nine years old this year, and my teacher said that in one or two decades, I will still have a wealth and wealth, but now I have already abandoned my wife and children, what do I want to do with that wealth?

Thinking of this, the dervishes laughed and said: "Chang Shi, the old man has been converted to Buddhism for a long time, and he is as rich as a floating cloud." ”

Chang Sichen saw that the dervishes were not moved by wealth and wealth, and thought that since he was a Zen Sect, he would not be interested in wealth and nobility, so he immediately said truthfully:

"Don't hide it from the master, Xiao Ke is now following Lu Jiugong to attack Ping'an Prefecture, Jiugong was defeated, and the general was defeated, and the general was defeated, and at present, Chen Zhiyuan's department is going to take my Anshun Prefecture. ”

When the dervishes heard this, he smiled and said: "Master Chang, you and Chen Zhiyuan, according to Lao Gao, should join forces to fight against the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court.

Chang Sichen heard this, and secretly said in his heart, what the master said is reasonable! It's just that I am my subordinate, and it is Lu Jiugong who is really in charge. (Chang Sichen has secretly had a heart to seek the Lord since then.) )

At present, the four major forces of the Shunyi Army are snatching territory from each other, Jiugong he was robbed of Mazhou, lost his foothold, and then came to occupy Anshun Prefecture, and then came to fight for Ping'an Prefecture, who would have thought that Chen Zhiyuan would have the guidance of a master, and Jiugong He folded the general to get water? !

Thinking of this, Chang Sichen said: "What the master said is very reasonable, but at present, all other ministries are grabbing territory, and Jiugong is lonely and difficult to speak, so he has to follow the trend and follow the trend." Now that the master is invited to fight that Chang won, it is really to ask the master to save Chang's life. ”

It turned out that this Chang Sichen had saved the life of the dervishes in the past. When he says this now, it is tantamount to begging for retribution, and it is difficult for the dervish monk to refuse.

So the dervishes said, "Donor, since this is the case, the old man promised you that he would meet that Chang Sheng before the battle! According to Lao Gao's opinion, the four forces of your Shunyi Army, the leader has no foresight, and it is difficult to become a climate, I hope that the donor you also understand this, and withdraw as soon as possible!"

Chang Sichen said: "Master Xie's golden and jade good words! Xiao Ke should keep it in mind! Lu Tianwang is outside the temple, waiting for the master to give him a meeting, and he also asks the master for permission." ”

At that time, the dervishes said: "The donor, please come back, the old man will clean up a little, and he will naturally rush to the front of the army." That Lu Jiugong, on the day before the battle, will meet each other, and there is no need to meet today. ”

When Chang Sichen heard this, he only said: "Master, Jiugong and I are currently stationed at the foot of Baiyun Ridge, since the master is unwilling to go with Xiao Ke, then Xiao Ke will take the first step and wait for the master's law!"

Chang Sichen came out of Dashi Temple, and Lu Jiu said fairly: "Mr. Chang, how is it?"

Chang Sichen said: "Back to the Heavenly King, that Mingchen mage is unwilling to join our army. ”

When Lu Jiugong heard this, he said, "I went to visit him with my husband." ”

Chang Sichen said: "The villain just said that the king of heaven wanted to see him, and he said that he would meet on the day before the army." ”

Lu Jiu said fairly: "Mr. just said that he didn't want to join our army, how can he say that he met before the army?"

Chang Sichen said: "Although he was reluctant to join our army, the villain had been kind to him, so he begged for retribution, and he had no choice but to promise to kill Chang Sheng for our army." ”

"I see. "Lu Jiu is fair.

Chang Sichen said: "Since he promised me, then after we return to the camp, if we win the challenge, we should stick to it and wait for the dervishes to come and kill him." ”

Besides, the dervishes have nothing to clean up. He came to Dashi Temple because of the doubts in his heart, and came to ask the abbot of the temple for advice.

In the past sixteen years, the dervish monk has crossed the river once, because he cannot swim and is in danger, and nothing else. It's just that sixteen years of dervishes have made him physically stronger and stronger, and he has already become a master.

In the past six months, the dervish monk has repeatedly felt that if there are people around him, he can't see anyone at all. The dervishes thought it was an illusion, and thought that he was now in good health, so how could it be an illusion?

At this time, the dervishes agreed to Chang Sichen, and immediately bid farewell to the abbot of Dashi Temple and went to Baiyunling.

Just halfway down the road, when passing by a black pine forest, the dervishes heard the sound of movement in the forest, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a young man about twenty years old, like a thin monkey, no different from a beggar, but in his hand he held a thick and big single knife, rushed out!

When the dervish monk looked at it, he said in his heart that this single knife is only twice as heavy as my knife, and it is difficult for him to be such a lean and lean beggar-like person, but he can move such a heavy knife!

The dervish took a step back, raised his hand and took off his single sword, and waited for the fight!

"Liu Xiaobang'er is here!Who are you?"
