Here he said that Dugu Jian said goodbye to Mu Ying in a hurry, because he suddenly thought: "This Lu Guangyuan must mean that they have already made a plan to assassinate General Yue, and it is very likely that they will act in these days, I need to go back as soon as possible, tell Master about this matter, and take precautions as soon as possible." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

He hurried all the way west, without stopping at all, and suddenly woke up again: "Ah, not good. I fell for Mu Ying, and when Lu Guangyuan saw them, his face was very happy, and between his words with Mu Ying, it was a tone that only people who knew each other well. This shows that they have known each other before, and this Mu Ying and his party must be connected with these traitors, even if they are not traitors, they will definitely not be able to get out of it. He paused again, pondering it more and more certainly.

So, Dugu Jian turned around and went back there, wanting to ask what was going on. But at this time, where was the figure? He searched the neighborhood carefully, but found nothing.

Dugu Jian lingered for a long time, slapped his palm on the trunk of the tree, and said hatefully: "Dugu Jian, Dugu Jian, you are usually so shrewd, but today you fell for a little girl and let go of so many traitors." Although he was very angry, he had no choice but to get up and leave and go to Dingzhou.

It turned out that Mu Ying had already guessed that her flawed words could only be concealed for a while, so as soon as she waited for Dugu Jian to leave, she immediately took everyone away, and she went the opposite way, and returned the same way, heading east towards the lake. Although Dugu Jian was shrewd, he didn't expect this, so when he reacted, Mu Ying and his party had already disappeared.

At this time, Dingzhou has completely become a large barracks, Yue Fei and Zhang Jun in May set a thief strategy, then led troops to be stationed in Dingzhou, plus these dozens of days, he sent people to persuade many soldiers to rebel. Therefore, the camps outside the city are connected for dozens of miles and stretch endlessly.

Liu Qingzhou sneaked into Yue Fei's camp alone, and it had been a day and a night, but he found nothing. Because he was afraid of startling the snake, he never went to meet Yue Fei. He saw a lot of people coming in and out of Yue Fei's handsome tent, but he didn't find anything abnormal. Thinking that the Manichaeans had not yet come to assassinate him, he did not dare to relax at all, and stared closely at the situation around the tent.

At this time, a group of men and horses rushed into the camp gate, and the junior colonel on duty shouted: "General Niu Gao has returned to the camp!" I saw a person in front of him, holding a double hammer, wearing armor, and a black horse under his crotch, which was Niu Gao who had just met Dugu Jian.

He turned over and dismounted, handed the double hammer to the little colonel beside him, took off his helmet, and walked straight into the tent. Liu Qingzhou was far away from the tent at this time, and he couldn't hear the specific situation in the tent. But he saw Niu Gao leading his troops out early in the morning, and it didn't take long for him to come back and resume his life, and something must have happened. He wanted to get closer and listen, but there was no place to cover it within a few feet around the tent, and he didn't want to show up immediately, so he could only be in a hurry.

After a while, Yue Fei and Niu Gao walked out of the tent together, only to hear Yue Fei say loudly: "Come on, pass the order, and transfer fifty archers to the tent to listen to the order." After lunch, he ordered the generals of each battalion to discuss matters in the tent, and then invited General Yang Qin to come over. "I got the order from the left and right, and when I answered, I went down to give the order.

Now Liu Qingzhou heard it clearly, and he thought about it for a while: "Transferring archers to the tent to listen to the order, this may not be able to see anything, but the Beiwei army is the elite under General Yue's account, and he actually transferred 500 people to each commander." General Yue's move shows that he must be guarding against something. Could it be that he already knew that the Manichaeans wanted to be against him?But if so, how could he guess?" Liu Qingzhou was puzzled.

At this time, Dugu Jian had also rushed outside the camp, and he knew that the master must be hiding somewhere in the camp, but how to find it was a difficult matter. When the two of them parted yesterday evening, they agreed to meet in the camp tonight. But now it wasn't even noon, and he stood not far from the camp, thinking carefully.

After wandering for a long time, Dugu Jian only felt that his stomach was empty, he hadn't eaten anything since last night, and it was almost noon, how could he not be hungry. Suddenly, Dugu Jian thought: "After such a long time, I have been hungry too, will Master not be hungry?" Yes, I am sneaking into the room now, and I think that Master will definitely go there to find food." ”

Just do it, Dugu Jian looked at the empty space where no one was, turned into the camp from the side, dodged the patrolling soldiers, and touched the room on the other side.

In fact, most of the houses in the barracks are built with clods of soil, stones, and wood, which can shelter from the wind and rain, not only are they not as solid as houses, but they are not even as good as tents. But this is all simple, if the army is stationed for a long time, it will naturally be expanded and strengthened in case of emergency.

Since May, Yue Fei sent a large army to be stationed here, and these gang leaders were reinforcing the gang house in addition to cooking, so Dugu Jian took advantage of these people's defenselessness to easily find a hiding place, and also took some food. He hid in the room, eating slowly while staring at the situation outside.

Sure enough, after a short time, it was time for dinner, and a large number of soldiers came to eat, although the scene was quite orderly, but after all, there were many people, and it was still very noisy.

At this moment, Dugu Jian saw a figure flash into the room, it was not Liu Qingzhou, who else could there be? I saw Liu Qingzhou standing behind the door and glanced at it, taking advantage of the fact that the men were all out, he quickly walked to the stove and took some food. Dugu Jian hurriedly stood up and shouted in a low voice: "Master, this way!" Liu Qingzhou looked back, one dodged over, pressed Dugu Jian, and the two squatted down together.

"Jian'er, why are you here?" Liu Qingzhou was very surprised. Dugu Jian looked up and said softly, "Master, this is not the place to talk, let's go out and talk about it." Liu Qingzhou nodded, so the two quietly got up again and took the opportunity to leave the room.

When he arrived at the place where there was no one behind the camp, Dugu Jian told Liu Qingzhou everything that happened last night to the end of the morning. Suddenly, he knelt down and said, "Master, the disciple doesn't know the truth, so he let the traitor go, and asks the master to punish him." Liu Qingzhou helped him up, "Jian'er, I can't blame you for this, it's just that what kind of person is this Mu Ying, who is young, has such good kung fu, and is extremely alert, he is definitely not an ordinary person." Jian'er, can you see her martial arts path clearly?" Dugu Jian shook his head: "Master, when the disciple arrived, General Niu had already gained the upper hand, and the disciple didn't care about her martial arts moves at all, so he hurriedly took out his sword to block General Niu's double gong, so he didn't know her martial arts moves." ”

Liu Qingzhou nodded, thought about it again, and said, "Let's ignore him for the time being, you just said that Lu Guangyuan promised not to come to assassinate, but there will be others in Manichaeism?"

"Yes, Master, according to the disciples, General Yue's attack is very urgent now, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be killed, so they are desperate. And from Lu Guangyuan's words, it is not difficult to hear that they must have made an assassination plan. ”

"Well, you're right. It seems that it is time for us to meet with General Yue and discuss how to deal with this assassination. Let's go, Jian'er, let's go now!" As he spoke, Liu Qingzhou pulled the Dugu sword, went around, turned to the main gate of the camp, and said to the colonel guarding the door: "Annoying the military master, Liu Qingzhou of Hengshan has something to ask to see General Yue." ”

The sergeant didn't know Liu Qingzhou, so he looked at it carefully before saying, "You wait here for a while, I'll report it." He turned and ran to the tent.

After a while, I saw Yue Fei with Niu Gao and Wang Gui personally greeted him. Yue Fei saw Liu Qingzhou from a distance, and said loudly with a smile: "Master Liu, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come to harm?" Liu Qingzhou also stepped forward with the Dugu sword, and arched his hand and said: "Thank you General Yue for your concern, everything is fine with Liu." Hearing that General Yue led the army to quell the rebellion, Liu specially came to meet the general. ”

Yue Fei took Liu Qingzhou's hand and said with a smile: "Master Liu, let's go first, it just so happens that a few brothers and I are having a meal, let's eat some together." Niu Gao was also very happy to see Dugu Jian, and took advantage of the time to hold Dugu Jian, "Little brother Dugu, you are here too, it's really good, let's go and eat together." ”

When the group entered the tent, Yue Fei introduced several generals to Liu Qingzhou, and Liu Qingzhou also ordered Dugu Jian to get up and give Yue Fei a salute. After getting to know each other, both parties sat down to eat.

"Master Liu, I heard Brother Niu Gao say that he met Ling Gao's disciple by the lake this morning, and he was warned, and I am very grateful. ”

"General Yue is too polite, what Liu's master and apprentice did was just a trivial matter, General Yue's Kejin soldiers, the capture of Jinling, the six counties of Fuliu (Note 1), and the Pinghu bandits, these are all major events to protect the family and defend the country. Coming here today, there is indeed an important matter to discuss. ”

"It's okay for Liu to talk about it, as long as Yue can do it, he will do his best to help him. ”

Liu Qingzhou turned his head to Dugu Jian and said, "Jian'er, you tell General Yue what happened." "Yes!" Dugu Jian stood up and walked to the center, "General Yue, after I separated from General Niu this morning, I happened to meet a person, this person's name is Lu Guangyuan, an old man from my master's past......"

At that moment, Dugu Jian revealed the Manichaean plan to assassinate Yue Fei, but concealed that the female dependents he saved from Niu Gao were traitors. This is something that Liu Qingzhou discussed with him, firstly, this is Dugujian's own speculation, which cannot be proven, and secondly, it is also to prevent offending others. "General Yue, Master and I speculate that they will inevitably act in these few days. Although General Niu has already made the matter clear to you, Master has decided to come in person to protect the general's safety just in case. ”

"Liu is in charge of Gao Yi, and Yue is grateful. But at this time, I might as well tell Master Liu that I have decided to march today, and the time to break the thief will be tonight. I think they may not have a chance to start even if they want to, so I ask Master Liu to watch with me tonight. Yue Fei said in high spirits.

At this time, the sergeant came to report that the generals were outside to listen to the order. Yue Fei stood up and said, "Okay, please come with me to Dianjiangtai!" After that, Yue Fei, Liu Qingzhou, Dugujian, Niu Gao and others came out of the handsome tent and came to Dianjiangtai.

Yue Fei sat upright on the stage and began to give orders: "Tang Huai and Wang Gui, you two are the left wing, Xu Qing and Yao Zheng, you are the right wing, Zhang Xian and Yue Yun are the vanguard of the middle road, and Niu Gao and Dong Xian marched from the left and right rear respectively, forming a situation of encirclement. The rest of the generals will follow me to attack by boat!" As he spoke, Yue Fei stepped down from the general platform again, and came to a blue-faced general with an arrow, "I also want to ask General Yang Qin to be the leader and lead the way for the army." After breaking the thief, General Yang should be the first to take credit!" The man saw that Yue Fei valued himself so much, and immediately knelt on the ground, "I am willing to serve my life!"

Dugu Jian saw his blood boiling, and he wished that he could be one of them at this moment. I saw Yue Fei pull out his sword and shouted: "All soldiers, you should fight bravely and work hard to kill the thief, and the enemy will be broken tonight!"

That night, Yue Fei raised his army and surrounded the Dazhai of the thief chief Yang Mi and attacked it with all his might. Yang Mi was unfavorable in the battle, led the crowd to break through, but he couldn't get out, and wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water, but was captured by Niu Gao. The remaining rebels surrendered, and the rebellion that ravaged Dongting Lake for six years was finally put down by Yue Fei.

Yang Qi would rather die than surrender, and was ordered to be executed by Yue Fei, and the rest of the people, Yue Fei chose strong people to be recruited into the army, and got fifty or sixty thousand soldiers who could fight. The old, weak, thin, and unbearable to serve are all "given rice and grain orders to return to the fields".

Yue Fei led the army back to Tanzhou, to the metropolitan governor Zhang Jun to return to the order, the whole battle, from the second day of the first day to surrender Yang Qin to the tenth day of the first day of the great victory, exactly eight days. It confirms what Yue Fei said before he set out on the expedition: "Except for the distance from Tanzhou to Dongting, within eight days, all prisoners will definitely be captured in the court of the governor." ”

A few days later, Zhang Jun held a banquet in the Tanzhou Governor's Mansion to celebrate Yue Fei's achievements. Of course, Liu Qingzhou and Dugu Jian's master and apprentice are also among the invitations. The atmosphere at the banquet was extremely lively. Staggered, and singing and dancing, Zhang Jun sat on the main seat and frequently persuaded everyone to drink. Liu Qingzhou sat next to Yue Fei, and when he looked closely, although Yue Fei had a smile on his face, the sorrow between his eyebrows was very obvious. He knew that Yue Fei had always been thrifty, and now Zhang Jun's celebration banquet was not extravagant and wasteful, but the specifications were also quite high. Liu Qingzhou picked up his wine glass and said to Yue Fei: "General Yue, General Liu has always known that General Liu has always been frugal, but today is indeed worth celebrating. Therefore, please let go of what is in your heart and drink this cup first. ”

Yue Fei knew that Liu Qingzhou's words were sincere, and everyone present was very happy, if he swept everyone's interest, it shouldn't be. He picked up his wine glass and looked at Liu Qingzhou, "Master Liu, please!" The two looked at each other and smiled.

The banquet has reached a climax at this time, on weekdays, how can a cadre of the Yue family's army have the opportunity to drink so happily? Niu Gao found Dugu Jian, hugged the wine jar, and held a wine bowl in his hand, "Little brother Dugu, come and come, accompany me to Lao Niu and a few bowls!" Dugu Jian couldn't refuse, so he could only accompany Niu Gao to drink bowl after bowl.

The other generals of the Yue family army also toasted each other, and the atmosphere was very lively! At this time, a group of dancing girls, all holding long swords, walked to the center, saluted Zhang Jun and Yue Fei, and prepared to start the performance.

Zhang Jun held the wine glass and said with a smile: "Yue Hou (Note 2), I know that you have never liked these extravagant sounds, so let's watch these women dance swords, please." Yue Fei smiled, held the wine glass, raised his head, and drank the wine. The dancing girls began to dance with the sound of drums, and the sonorous drums and magnificent dances made everyone so indifferent that they forgot to drink the wine.

Suddenly, just as the drum beat reached its peak, a dancing girl flipped the blade of her sword and stabbed straight at Yue Fei, shouting, "Avenge the Great Sage Heavenly King today!" The incident happened suddenly, and no one thought that Yue Fei was about to be stabbed by the dancing girl.

It's too late, it's too soon. I saw Liu Qingzhou dodge, grabbed Yue Fei's back collar with his left hand, pulled him back not far away, and pinched the sword body with the second finger of his right hand. In this way, the kill was undone.

Seeing this scene, the audience was in chaos. I heard one person shouting loudly: "Everyone go up together, kill Yue Fei, and avenge the Heavenly King and the brothers who died!" I saw that many miscellaneous servants and accompanists behind each person took out their long and short blades hidden under their clothes and stabbed at Yue Fei.

Although Zhang Jun is also a person who has experienced great storms and waves, where has he ever encountered such a situation? Several personal soldiers behind him protected him and slowly retreated to the back hall, and he shouted again: "Pass the guards quickly!" Dugu Jian got up as early as when the dancing girl stabbed at Yue Fei, and took advantage of the panic to snatch the sword from the hands of four or five dancing girls one after another, and threw it to Niu Gao, Yue Yun and a few others. At this time, I saw a group of thieves all rushing towards Yue Fei and his master, and the two of them had no blades in their hands. He tiptoed a little, and a "pigeon turned over" jumped closer, and handed a long sword to Liu Qingzhou, "Master, use the sword!" Liu Qingzhou understood, took the long sword, and said in a low voice: "Jian'er, let's protect General Yue, and first meet General Niu and others over there!" Dugu Jian nodded and agreed.

The two of them protected Yue Fei on the left and on the right, opened the assassins' blades, and slowly moved closer to Niu Gao, Yue Yun and the others. Yue Fei reacted as early as when he was pulled back by Liu Qingzhou, but what happened later happened too suddenly, and he had no weapons available at hand, and after being protected by Liu Qingzhou's master and apprentice, he said: "Master Liu, please take a weapon for me, let's defend the enemy together!" Liu Qingzhou listened, took a short sword, and handed it to Yue Fei, "General Yue, use it for self-defense." ”

At this time, no matter how stupid the defenders outside the gate were, they had already reacted, not to mention that these guards were veterans who had followed Zhang Jun in the bloody battle with the Jin people in Guanshan. Armed with spears and spears, they came in from the outside, approaching step by step, and from time to time an Assassin was stabbed and fell to the ground. Over there, Niu Gao, Yue Yun, Tang Huai, Wang Gui and others also formed a circle, and the assassins couldn't attack in a hurry.

Not long after, Liu Qingzhou and Dugu Jian escorted Yue Fei to Niu Gao and the others, and everyone quickly formed a group to protect Yue Fei in the middle. By this time, most of the Assassins had been slaughtered to the ground, and only a few were still struggling to hold on. Yue Fei looked at the situation in the field, and said loudly: "At this time, the overall situation has been decided, you don't want to fight the trapped beasts anymore, and those who descend will not die." ”

One of the assassins in the middle looked at Yue Fei and said hatefully: "Yue Fei! If you kill the Great Sage Heavenly King, we will not let you go even if we are ghosts! How can we surrender to you? The eldest husband would rather die standing than live on his knees!" After saying that, these assassins rushed over, and in the blink of an eye, they all fell in a pool of blood......

(Note 1: In 1134 AD, Yue Fei led his army north to recover the six counties of Xiangyang, and the recovery of Xianghan was the first time that the Southern Song Dynasty regained a large amount of lost territory, and captured the Tangzhou and Xinyang armies that were originally controlled by the puppet Qi, which was a great victory for the Southern Song Dynasty to carry out a local counteroffensive.)

Note 2: It is true that Zhang Jun called Yue Fei the Marquis of Yue, but after pacifying Yang Qi, Zhang Jun sighed and said: "The Marquis of Yue is also a god." ”）
