Taolin is an ancient plain and a famous place. The story of Kuafu Zhuri happened here. Everyone talked about this story and traveled day and night. As we approached the pass, the number had grown to several thousand. Most of these people were civilians doing various kinds of labor. When they saw someone fleeing, they joined the team and followed them. At this time, Yingbu was worried that there were too many people to pass the pass, so he asked Zhu Jian for advice. Zhu Jian thought for a moment and said, "I have already thought of a strategy. If nothing goes wrong, I will be able to get through this." Ying Bu asked what the strategy was. Zhu Jiandao: "Let's hide the weapons first. When you get to Guanxia, you will pretend to be an official sent by the Qin State to escort the criminals back to Shandong, and then ask the dog officer to testify. With my brother's majesty, Ying Kui will not suspect anything. In addition, I Prepare another amnesty order from the court." Yingbu asked how to write the amnesty order. Zhu Jian replied: "I have seen this order in the county and know how to write it." Yingbu was very happy and asked Zhu Jian to find a place to write it as soon as possible.
During the previous wars of the Qin State, Hangu Pass was closed at sunset and opened at the rooster's crow. Nowadays, because there are so many people and vehicles passing by, the door is sometimes open day and night, but the defense is still quite tight. The road to Hangu Pass is rugged and narrow. It is a very long mountain road. It is about tens of miles from the back pass to the front pass. If you don't let people pass, it will be difficult to get out of the pass. On this day, Ying Kui was teaching his four sons to practice archery in Guanxia. Suddenly someone reported: "Old General, the envoys of the imperial court escorted a group of disciples who have completed their work period to Guanxia, and the magistrate of Ningtai County, please General, please tell me." After saying this, he presented the pardon order in front of the prince. The prince took one look and said without hesitation: "Let it go." Then he took his four sons and deputy captain Zhaohua to the Xiguan Tower to watch.
When the prince came to the pass, he saw that a large group of people had already arrived at the pass. They were in ragged clothes. They were really disciples who had returned to Shandong. He didn't suspect anything and just watched everyone pass the pass. After a while, all the thousands of craftsmen had finished their work, and when they saw Ningtai County Magistrate Xue Lan walking behind, they asked, "Why did Magistrate Xue leave the country?" Tabu covered his sword with his clothes and pressed Magistrate Xue from behind. He didn't dare to call for help, so he had to answer as he had been taught in advance: "I have official business, and the general is an old friend, so I came out together." The prince sent someone to deliver the amnesty token. Yingbu and others were worried that the prince would see the flaw, and they were so nervous that they went straight out of Hangu Pass. Only then did Qingbu look back, only to see that the Xiongguan Tower towered into the sky and was very dangerous. Thinking that thanks to hiding Bingfeng, he got through the pass, otherwise he would have died here, so he hurriedly galloped forward. There is a single poem "Hangu Pass" that praises:
Looking to the west, it's foggy and cold in Mount Xiao, and it's hard for a man to break through it with all his strength.
The sky opens and the armies fight for the land, and the soldiers gather in dangerous buildings to block the projectiles.
Fei Gai Tianwen cried out early, hiding the front and Ying Bu sneaked out of the pass.
When the purple air comes from the east and there is peace, only the green cow goes away calmly.
The prince returned to the gate, and Zhao Hua came in and said: "Sir, all the civil servants and generals who pass by here usually dismount when they see you, but today this general not only did not dismount when he saw the prince, but he also looked nervous and did not want to dismount. Do you know what they took?" The prince said, "But the Ningtai County Magistrate is also with them?" The prince said thoughtfully, "Now that I think about it, it seems that there is no seal on the amnesty order."
While the two were talking, someone suddenly came in and reported: "Sir, a troop of troops has arrived from Guanxi and has arrived at Guanxia." The prince hurriedly came to Guanxi to check. It turned out to be a troop of soldiers and horses from the imperial court. When the general saw the prince, he dismounted and paid homage: "Old prince, we are officials of the imperial court. We are here under the emperor's order to capture the rebels." The prince asked, "What rebellion is there?" Thief?" The official said: "They are a group of disciples who defected from Xianyang. The leader was named Yingbu. They also kidnapped the Ningtai County Magistrate." The prince was surprised: "An hour ago, the Ningtai County Magistrate and a member of the imperial court The military general escorted a group of disciples who had expired and returned to Shandong." The official said in horror: "Is that military general a guy with a purple face and a yellow beard and an ink mark on his forehead?" The prince said it was true. The official said: "They are not disciples whose term has expired, but rebels on the construction site. The tattooed man killed two generals, Wang Yun and Kang Bitai, and led the rebellion. He is not a military general." Then he explained how the tattooed man rebelled. , how to get through the border, and how to kidnap the county magistrate. The prince was very shocked after hearing this. Without saying a word, he quickly ordered his men and horses to catch up with the soldiers of the imperial court.
Yingbu and others left Hangu Pass and ran for three to forty miles at a stretch before gradually slowing down. Yingbu checked the sweat on his forehead and said to Zhu Jian: "The reason why we can get out of Hangu Pass safely this time is all thanks to your master's plan." !" Then he pointed his halberd at Xue Lan on the horse. Zhu Jian quickly dissuaded him and said: "Soldier, wait a minute, he saved us, let him die for the time being!" Yingbu then cursed loudly: "I was going to kill you, a dog official, but now go back and tell old man Ying Kui that I One day the tattooed person will go to Guanzhong to seize Hu Hai's throne!" Magistrate Xue was so frightened that he fell off his horse and ran away with his head in his arms. Everyone laughed when they saw the magistrate's appearance.
Everyone was laughing before Zhu Jian suddenly frowned and said, "No, Qin's soldiers and horses are catching up!" Ting Bu also stopped smiling, galloped up to a high ground, and looked westward. Found movement. Zhu Jian said loudly: "When I left Xiapi before, my mentor once said: 'I will encounter a military disaster and come back.' Now it seems that it is really what my mentor said!" Yingbu came up from the high slope and asked: "Who is the name of Sir's mentor?" Zhu Jian did not answer, but said: "It's bad, it's bad, we are about to face a disaster!" Qingbu asked: "Why did you say this, Sir?" Zhu Jian said: "Your Majesty. He is a shrewd man. He will definitely become suspicious when he sees that our amnesty order is not stamped. Besides, how can Qin Ting give up? If they get reports from everywhere, they will definitely send people to chase them. The army will arrive soon. .”
Someone suggested running away quickly. Zhu Jian said: "Everyone who followed us here is already trapped and their horses are exhausted. It is really unjust for us to escape. Besides, how can we outrun their horses? It seems that a fight is inevitable." ." Tingbu took courage and said: "Rather than letting the Qin army catch up and kill him, it is better to fight to the death!" Everyone shouted in unison: "Fight to the death!" Tingbu said: "What I was worried about was that I couldn't get out of Hangu Pass. Now I have come out. , We are still afraid that the Qin army will fail, so we should fight hard and let Qin know how powerful we are!" Everyone shouted again: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Zhu Jian saw that his morale was available, so he divided into three team, gave the order in this way. All the warriors were very happy after hearing Zhu Jian's formation strategy. Zhu Jian also warned: "Everyone, remember: as long as we kill the general on the battlefield, the Qin army will be in chaos. Only in this way can we get rid of them completely!" Everyone excitedly shouted: "We must win! We must win!" He immediately asked everyone to prepare separately.
Ying Kui and General Qin were chasing Ying Bu. They met Magistrate Xue on the way and asked where the rebels had gone. The county magistrate said in shame: "Old prince, I was kidnapped by the thieves, and I had no choice but to go with them. The thieves are not far ahead. Please kill them as soon as possible to wash away the humiliation of being robbed!" We rode forward and soon came to a place where there were dense woods on both sides of the road. Ying Kui directed his troops to move forward. At this time, Zhu Jian and Guo Qiang were already ambushing in the dense forest, and they were watching the Qin army quietly. The Qin army galloped through the dense forest. Zhu Jian quickly ordered everyone to take a bundle of dry firewood and pile them in the middle of the road to form a hill. He then lit a fire and shouted: "Capture Ying Kui alive!" Ying Kui was moving forward when he looked back and saw flames on the road. Soaring into the sky, the shouts of killing could not be heard without stopping. I don’t know what was going on. Suddenly, there was a bang, and countless men and horses shot out from both sides behind them. It was Ying Bu and Fan Yong. Ting Bu displayed the power of a tiger, swung his halberd forward, stabbed people when he encountered them, and cut down horses when he encountered them, as if he was in an uninhabited country. After a while, the Qin army chasing them was cut into two sections. When Ying Kui saw Ying Bu behind him, he was ready to kill him. At this time, Han and Ben came back again, trapping Ying Kui and the others in the middle of the position. The Qin soldiers shouted together: "Your Majesty, we are surrounded by thieves!" Ying Kui was not afraid and fought with Ying Bu in a duel. The two sides started a desperate fight on the road, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering.
Ting Bu cheered up, danced his halberd, and killed the Qin soldiers, making them fall on their backs. Suddenly, a path opened in the middle of the position, and four warriors came out with a roar, all of them majestic. The leader shouted: "How dare you, the rebel with a tattooed face and yellow hair, to deceive my handsome father, please dismount and die!" "When Ying Bu heard this, he knew that they were the famous fourth sons of the royal family, and said loudly: "Are you the 'Four Dogs of the Ying Family' who guard Hu Hai's house? The fourth sons of the royal family heard that they were compared to dogs, and they were very surprised. Angry, he swung his weapons to kill Ting Bu. Four people surrounded him and fought like a lantern. Ting Bu fought hard against the four generals, but he was incompetent. His halberd flew like a whirlwind. After killing more than ten rounds in a row, Ting Bu would Ying Hu and Ying Bao were stabbed under the horse. Ying Dan was shocked, knowing that he was not his opponent, so he turned around and ran away. Ting Bu chased closely from behind, and Hei Yunju caught up with him in a flash, stabbing him in the back with a halberd. In the center of the nest, Ying Dan fell off his horse. Ying Jiao was heartbroken when he saw that his three brothers were dead, so he came to fight with Ying Bu.
Ying Kui and Zhao Hua fought hard, but Han and Ben couldn't resist, so they fled forward. Ying Kui was chasing after him when he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Father, save me!" When Ying Kui looked back, he saw his fourth son, Ying Jiao, running towards this side. There was a man chasing after him, so Ying Kui quickly turned back. Save your son. Just as Ying Jiao was about to run forward, a sharp arrow suddenly flew and hit Ying Jiao in the back. He screamed and fell off the horse. The prince was shocked and hurriedly dismounted to rescue Yingjiao. He picked up his son and shouted, "Jiaoer! Jiaoer!" Yingjiao was seen vomiting blood and fell unconscious. The prince shouted in pain: "Jiao'er!" At this time, Ying Bu had already rushed over and shouted: "Ying Kui Pif, all four of your sons were killed by me, why don't you surrender?" Ying Kui didn't believe it. He handed Ying over to the sergeant, got on his horse, and swung his sword to kill Ting Bu. At this time Han Li'er and Ben He came to kill again. Zhao Hua and the generals of the imperial court stopped and fought. Ying Kui screamed at the top of his lungs: "Tattooed thief, take your life!" At this time, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, all three young masters have been killed!" When Ying Kui heard the news, he felt like a wake-up call and felt dizzy. I almost fell off my horse. Zhao Hua and the generals of the imperial court abandoned Han Li'er and Ben He to protect the prince. Everyone retreated while fighting and fled westward. On the way, he was suddenly intercepted by Guo Qiang. Ying Kui was so angry that he killed Guo Qiang with a knife. When he saw Zhu Jian again, he cursed: "As a Qin official, you are colluding with a traitor. Take your life!" Zhu Jian. Zhu Jian slapped his horse and fled. At this time, Yingbu and others arrived together and rescued Zhu Jian. Everyone works together to kill Ying Kui. Seeing that they could not resist, the three of them protected the prince and escaped. They jumped over the flames and ran straight towards the gate. Ting Bu was victorious.
After Ying Kui left, Ying Bu and others found Guo Qiang's body from the battlefield and buried him very sadly. Yingbu said to Zhu Jian again: "The magistrate of Ningtai County once wanted to become my brother, but this man was despicable. He even tricked me into entering the city and harmed me. If not for the righteousness of my husband to save me, I would have been killed! I was originally I am a rough man. Today I am grateful for my husband's life-saving grace. I want to become brothers with different surnames. How do you respect him?" Zhu Jian was very happy and immediately said: "How many heroes are there in the vast world? I met a strong man today. It's really three lifetimes. I'm lucky enough to have a golden orchid!" Yingbu was overjoyed.
So the two formed a blood alliance on the roadside. Zhu Jian was the elder brother and Ting Bu was the younger brother. After the sworn sworn ceremony, Yingbu asked, "What are your plans for the future, brother?" Zhu Jian replied, "I want to return to Xiapi, serve my mentor wholeheartedly, and wait for the opportunity." Yingbu asked, "My brother has mentioned your mentor many times. What kind of person is he?" "Who is he?" Zhu Jian said: "If this person speaks out, even if the First Emperor is still alive, he will be scared to death!" Tingbu was very surprised and asked: "Who is he?" Zhu Jiandao: "He was the one who sniped at Bolangsha that year. Qin Shihuang's Zhang Zifang!" Yingbu was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Is this the famous Mr. Zhang Liang that my brother is talking about?" Zhu Jian said that this was the person. Tingbu asked again: "Isn't his name Zhang Liang? Why did my brother say he was Zhang Zifang?" Zhu Jiandao said, "This man's surname is Zhang, his first name is Liang, and his given name is Zifang." Only then did Tingbu understand, and then praised: "He is indeed a warrior. Is his martial arts unparalleled?" Zhu Jian replied: "In terms of martial arts, he can only defend himself, but this person has the ambition to turn things around, and has great talent in the world. He is probably the most powerful person in the world today, right? Because he attempted to assassinate Qin. , so he lived in seclusion in Xiapi. This man had extraordinary ambitions and was very good at planning. When he sent me away from Xiapi, he said that I would encounter military disasters and come back in the future, and it was indeed the case today."
When Yingbu heard Zhu Jian's description, he was very surprised, so he kept the name Zhang Zifang in his mind, and said, "Today's Qin State is pursuing a tyrannical government, so there is no place for such a great talent to be used!" Zhu Jiandao: "No, Mr. Zifang once When he met a stranger, he said that a king would rise in ten years. Now, the time has almost arrived. People in the Qin State today are in chaos, and in the not-too-distant future, the world will be in chaos. At that time, you and I, brothers, should work together to find the bright future. Mainly to make achievements and establish a name in history. I wonder if my dear brother has this ambition?" Qingbu said happily: "It is my long-cherished wish to make achievements and make achievements. Just like what my brother said, how can I fall behind! Now that I have returned to my hometown, I must recruit local braves. Occupying the world, if the time comes, I will definitely do great things together with my brother!" After saying this, the two said goodbye with tears. Zhu Jian went back to Xiapi.
Tingbu came to Luocao in Pengli Zezhong, Jiujiang County, and called himself the "Jiangyang Thief". He also raised the banner of "The Invincible King" to gather people to fight against the government. There is a poem praising tattoo sermons:
The warriors rose up and fought to shed their blood on the battlefield.
If you seize the pass and kill the general, you will be invincible, and your name will be famous all over the world.
After Ying Bu and others left, Ying Kui looked back and found the bodies of his three sons among the dead bodies, and took them back to Guan Guan in tears. Ying Kui was very sad. While sorting out the body, he reported it to the court. At this time, memorials from Zhiyang, Liyi, Zhengxian, and Ningtai were also sent to the court. The Second Emperor was shocked after reading these memorials. He never thought that a group of slaves working in prison could stab such a big basket, so he comforted his uncle, and then ordered the "Fourth Son of the Royal Family" to be buried lavishly, and also commended him. Generals such as Wang Yun and Kang Bitai who were martyred by the country. After this incident, the imperial court recruited another 5,000 young men from Guanzhong, organized them into the Lieutenant Army, and stationed them near Afang Palace to prevent unexpected events.
