The so-called Dongguan is the harmony of Dongguan.
In the third year of Xuanhe, Muzhou was changed to Yanzhou. People's old habits were hard to change, so the old and new names were inevitably mixed. This pass is located to the east of Yanzhou and to the west of Wulong Mountain. It is also called Yandongguan, Lanjiang River and Xin'an River. They merge here and form the Fuchun River.
There is something special about the mixed water of the three rivers. The Acanthopanax bark wine produced here is quite famous and is very good for nourishing the kidneys.
This pass was originally the gateway to the east of Muzhou. It was bordered by the remnants of Wulong Mountain on the left and the Xin'an River on the right. It was an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place. Later, several giant merchants made it easier to pass through and raised funds to reopen a new road. Wulong Ridge just blocked it. On the new path, occupying the victory of form naturally becomes the new gateway.
In order to build the pass on the ridge, the local officials cut off half of the east tube in order to save labor. The old pass was in ruins. Moreover, since Wulong Ridge was in front, the defenders here could not help but slack off.
The guard general Wu Yingxing was half-drunk with Wujiapi wine that day. Suddenly he heard that the officers and soldiers were coming. He was so surprised that he knocked over his wine glass. He jumped up wet and said, "Didn't it say that Qifuzi appointed a group of people from Liangshan to guard the pass? Why did you call the officers and soldiers over without making any sound? Niang Xipi, grass bandits are grass bandits. If Wu was not here, wouldn’t he have missed the important event of the Holy Duke?"
Taking advantage of the drunkenness and fear, he ordered his troops and horses to go out of the city to meet the enemy. Just as Yang Weizhong led his troops to attack, the two battles clashed in front of the formation, but within three seconds, Yingxing was defeated and fled in full saddle.
Yang Weizhong took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing and captured the Dongguan in one fell swoop. Wu Yingxing was so fiercely pursued by him that he did not dare to take the main road and led the remaining soldiers to escape over the mountains and ridges.
Tong Guan's army entered the pass one after another and saw that they had indeed bypassed Wulong Ridge. Tong Guan was very happy and called Xin Xingzong in front of him and praised him.
Early the next morning, Tong Guan ordered Wang Yuan to take the remaining troops of Jingyuan to guard Dongguan, and asked him to repair the pass. He and Yang Keshi's troops were one mile away to control Wulong Ridge and guard the retreat for the army.
The rest of the troops and horses all arose and followed Tong Guan to attack Qingxi, vowing to pacify Muzhou in one fell swoop.
The former army marched for twenty or thirty miles and ran into a Biaonan Army, but it was the reinforcements sent by Muzhou to Wulong Ridge.
Among the three leading generals, one is Xia Houcheng, the confidant of Zu Shiyuan, the right prime minister under Fang La. This man was born as a hunter in the mountains of Wuzhou. He is accustomed to using steel forks and has a pair of scuds. He can climb mountains and ridges as if he were walking on flat ground. He is known as "Nine Peaks Hunter King" is it.
The judge heard that the Nine Peaks in his nickname did not refer purely to the number, but to a Nine Peaks Mountain in Wuzhou.
A few years ago, a thousand-pound bear king appeared on Jiufeng Mountain. It was cruel and wanted to eat people and animals. It was a bit more ferocious than a giant insect. It caused commerce and travel to disappear and people were in dire straits. The prefect of Wuzhou had to arrest the local people. The hunter has been entrusted with a stick-limiting document, and the bear must be eliminated within a time limit.
The hunters went up the mountain in groups and laid bow traps. Unexpectedly, the bear king was cunning and ruthless. He ignored any bait you tried and ate more than ten hunters who went up the mountain.
The bad news spread, and folk rumors spread that the bear had become a great monster, which frightened the hunters so much that they would rather be beaten by the government than go up the mountain to die.
At this moment, Xiahou Cheng was brave and talented. He went to the Yamen to negotiate with the government to negotiate terms: he asked the government to hire a famous craftsman to cast a good fork for him using high-quality snowflake iron.
Then he went into the mountain alone with a steel fork, chased him for three days, and killed the bear king, thus earning him the reputation of the "Hunter King".
The two lieutenants under his command are also Zu Shiyuan's personal army commanders. One is commanding Bai Qin. He has excellent marksmanship and is good at flying spears. People call him the "Tiger-stabbing Spear". The other deputy commander is Jingde. A big axe, nicknamed "Kaishan Tai Sui", was a famous warrior among the Confederate Army.
Ancestor Shiyuan was a direct disciple of Wanggong Laofu and one of the five disciples of Mingjiao. He could read the Five Classics thoroughly and was also good at martial arts. Therefore, he was highly valued by Fangla. He was in charge of the military and political power of Muzhou. He managed the army on horseback and the people on horseback. Although his status is below Fang Qi Buddha, his worldly authority is not inferior to him at all.
After Fang Qifu was defeated in Muzhou, he entrusted everything to Zu Shiyuan and went to Bangyuan Cave to plead guilty to Fang La. Zu Shiyuan did not dare to neglect, so he sent three generals of Xiahou to lead 10,000 troops to Wulong. When Ling returned to Liangshan for everyone, he unexpectedly ran into Tong Guan's army.
Tong Guan went to attack Qingxi County this time, still with Wang Zhen and Zhao Tan as the vanguard, leading 10,000 troops. At this moment, they met on a narrow road, and they were caught off guard. The generals on both sides coincided with each other, thinking of striking first to gain the upper hand, and ordered the attack almost at the same time. , and suddenly there was a killing spree.
Tong Guan received the message from the messenger in the Chinese army and immediately ordered the troops from Hedong to be dispatched to assist in the battle.
Ji Jing, the leader of the Hedong soldiers, was robbed by Liangshan heroes and beaten on the head. He was sulking. He received the order without delay and led his troops into the battle group in one fell swoop. With his new force, he The Confederate army was even more difficult to resist, and they retreated steadily as they fought.
Ji Jing wanted to be a hero and led the way into the Confederate army's formation. He bumped into Jingde, the "Kaishan Tai Sui". The two axes faced each other. After twenty rounds of fighting, Ji Jing roared and chopped Jingde off his horse with an axe. —
It's a pity that Tangtang Kaishan was too old. The mountain was never opened, but Lao'er was allowed to open it.
On the other side, Bai Qin, the "Tiger Thorn Spear", fought with Wang Zhen for ten times, but couldn't stop the opponent's martial arts, so he pointed out his spear, took advantage of Wang Zhen's avoidance, turned back with his horse and left.
Xia Houcheng was fighting fiercely with Zhao Tan. When he saw two lieutenants dying and fleeing, he panicked, made a false move, left Zhao Tan and ran away. At this point, the whole army was defeated. The officers and soldiers covered up the killing and chased them for ten miles.
Unfortunately, out of the 10,000 Confederate troops, only less than 4,000 were able to return to Muzhou alive.
At this time in Muzhou City, Prime Minister Zu Shiyuan, who was not yet aware of the defeat, was receiving two newly arrived guests from afar, including Shen Shou, Qian Shu Huan Yi, and Marshal Tan Gao.
Both of them were tired and looked haggard. They were none other than the "Divine Taibao" Dai Zong and the "Divine Doctor" An Daoquan.
But Dai Zong looked surprised: "So, my brother has never been to Demuzhou?"
Zu Shiyuan explained: "My envoy Fang Zuo explained this clearly. At that time, the officers and soldiers were chasing closely, and most of our generals were injured. We had to guard Wulong Ridge and entrusted it to the heroes of Liangshan for the time being. But please rest assured, sir, Zu has sent 10,000 elite men to replace the heroes, and within a few days, your honorable master will be able to reunite with his brothers."
Dai Zong sighed: "It's my brother's job to solve people's urgent needs. Alas, the two of us didn't know he would stay on the way. We just wanted to go quickly, but we rushed to Shezhou and came from the Lianjiang River Road, so we went with him I missed it...that's all, we are here to save people, so we are not in a hurry to meet my brother. Where are the injured brothers? Let's let Brother An take a look first, and then we can reason."
The ancestor said politely: "Your Majesty, it is very hard for you to come all the way. Why don't you take a short rest, have some tea and rice, and then see the patient?"
Dai Zong was about to answer when An Daoquan suddenly stood up, frowned, raised his hand, and said unhappily: "Is this the time for everyone to be polite? My brother Tang Bin rode my brother's BMW back to the mountain to report the news, and traveled two thousand miles in three days. , I almost died of exhaustion. I followed Brother Dai Zong and slept in the open, traveling four hundred miles a day. Could it be that I came to eat your tea and rice? Huh! The reason why we are willing to endure this hard work is nothing more than the words "human life is at stake". Are you here to be polite to me?"
When An Daoquan said these words, Zu Shiyuan and others' faces turned red. The four of them looked at each other, stood up together, and bowed and saluted: "That's all, this is something we shouldn't have done. Thanks to An Shen's medical advice. Wake up! Bo Yuntian, a hero from Liangshan, is truly worthy of his reputation. Doctor An, Brother Dai, please come with me."
The four of them took An and Dai to the backyard, where clean rooms had been arranged for Shi Bao and others to recover from their injuries.
An Daoquan washed his hands, head and face, looked at all the injured people, and had an idea in his mind. When he walked to the hospital, Zu Shiyuan asked quickly: "Miracle doctor, how are these brothers?"
An Daoquan didn't even look at them, he raised his face slightly, as if talking to himself: "Well, there are good and bad! That Shi Bao's arrow injury is not a cause for concern, go back and change some medicine for him, take it internally and externally, and keep it healthy It will be fine in a while... Well, Marshal Li is going to be in a bit more trouble. Although the shot on his shoulder was serious, his health is very good, so he should be fine, but something sad seems to have happened today. , so that the mind is haggard, which only makes the injury heavier..."
Zu Shiyuan sighed lowly and explained: "The previous time the Hangzhou army was defeated, his brother Li Tianyou protected my young leader from retreating. Unexpectedly, officers and soldiers caught up with him and captured the young leader, but General Li Tianyou was brutally killed. The enemy general cut his body into pieces and killed him... Alas, no one dared to talk to him about this matter. He pestered him so hard the day before yesterday that he had no choice but to tell me. He immediately spit out a few mouthfuls of blood and the wound on his back also collapsed. I taught him Doctor Zhong worked hard all night to temporarily spare his life."
An Daoquan nodded after hearing this and said: "Thank you for hiding it from him for a few days, and coming down in time, otherwise he would be so heartbroken, and if he delays for a few more days, it would be difficult for even the gods to save him. Although he can't save him now, It takes some effort, but it can be cured."
Everyone couldn't help but feel excited when they heard what he said for sure.
An Daoquan added: "As for the Commander-in-Chief, judging from his wounds, his original intention to kill himself was extremely decisive. If he hadn't been rescued in time, his neck would have been cut in half... Fortunately, although he was also heartbroken. , but later I probably figured something out, my mind gradually became calmer, and my vitality became strong again. Although it will inevitably take a longer time to raise him, his life is not affected."
Patriarch Shiyuan and others had heard what Fang Qifu had said about all the previous things, knew why Si Xingfang committed suicide, and listened to An Daoquan's eloquent talk, they all couldn't help but secretly feel ashamed.
An Daoquan looked at Dai Zongdao: "The injuries of the four Yubao brothers are no problem. He seems to be seriously injured, but his body is tall and his muscles are thick. Those crossbow arrows are only wounds on the skin and flesh, and they have not hurt any vital parts. Alas, Wu...Song But my brother’s eyesight is not bad. The really serious thing here is the one who was scratched! I didn’t expect that a pair of fleshy palms could cause such injuries. It’s really terrifying..."
When the ancestors heard from afar, they all looked sad. Marshal Tan Gao of Muzhou Army smiled bitterly and said: "Miracle doctor, I dare not hide it. When Marshal Fang Jie arrived, he invited a famous doctor for diagnosis and treatment. What the doctor said at that time was: This person is obviously dead, what else is there to see?”
An Daoquan glared and said angrily: "Fart! Your Fang Shuai was seriously injured, and it has been delayed for so many days. Naturally, his life is like a thread, sinking between life and death - but he can't touch the six meridians with his hands. Could it be that people are Is he dead? Why don't you touch his three Zuo meridians? Well, even though Fuyang and Taixi can't be touched, doesn't Taichong seem to be there or not? What kind of doctor you are looking for can't even see this? , how dare he call himself a 'famous doctor'?"
Seeing his anger, Zu Shiyuan and others became happy: "Oh, the miracle doctor said this, could it be that my Fang Jie can still be saved?"
An Daoquan raised his face, glanced at everyone from the corner of his eyes, and said proudly: "Humph, my brother was carrying the medicine made by An, and he used it for Fang Shuai in time. After that, he drank ginseng soup every day to die, leaving What’s so hard about this ray of vitality! Haha, I finally lived up to Tang Bin’s long journey, and Dean Dai’s gift to me. Since An Mo arrived before this ray of vitality was gone, he saved him. What's the difficulty? It's just..."
Zu Shiyuan and several others were already elated. Shen Shou, who participated in politics, and Huan Yi, who was a scholar, shouted in unison: "It's just what? As long as the miracle doctor can cure Fang Jie, no matter what the conditions or how much the consultation fee is, we will agree on it for Sheng Gong." .”
An Daoquan was furious, rolled his strange eyes, and said: "I am a great hero from Liangshan, do you need your medical money? I mean, I saved him with the help of famous doctors. If I can't save him, he will be as useless as before." Second, if my martial arts and strength are intact, how can I demonstrate my reputation as the 'miracle doctor' of An Daoquan?"
Zu Shiyuan and the four others were all important figures in the Yongle Dynasty. They were also dominant figures in the world in the past. If anyone else had gasped in front of them, they would have been beaten to death. However, the full spectrum of An Dao was placed in the sky. On the contrary, they became more convinced and reassured, smiling with smiles on their faces and clasping their fists repeatedly: "Ah, ah, ah, I am speechless. The thoughts of a master like a miracle doctor are naturally very different from those of ordinary people like us."
Seeing his humility, An Daoquan smiled secretly: Most of the people in the world are vulgar people who only care about clothes but not people. If I don't show such madness, I'm afraid you won't be so willing to listen. It's important for An to save people, but he doesn't. I feel the same as you explaining this and answering that every day. "
The arrogant look on his face remained unchanged, and he nodded in a disdainful manner: "I told you a few medicinal herbs, please note them down, and come to me quickly, it's..."
He was memorizing the name of the medicine when suddenly Xia Houcheng and Bai Qin stumbled in from the outside: "Prime Minister, there is a disaster, Tong Guan's army..."
"Shut up!" Zu Shiyuan interrupted and glared at the two of them: "Don't you see that Dr. An is telling me to wait?"
An Daoquan pretended to be pretentious, but he wanted to be less nonsense and not really arrogant. At this time, he said: "Just leave one person who has a wide range of people and can talk the talk to cooperate with An. The rest of the brothers can go about their own business. "
Zu Shiyuan was overjoyed and quickly ordered Shen Shou, who was involved in politics, to stay. Following An Daoquan's instructions, he took everyone back to the central hall to discuss matters. How sober was Dai Zong? When you hear the words "Tong Guan Dajun", you know something will happen.
He hurriedly came forward and whispered a few words to An Daoquan, and then smiled at everyone: "Dai doesn't know anything about practicing medicine, but he has done a lot of intelligence and other things in Liangshan, and his mind is finally somewhat sharp. If my brother-in-law is I don’t mind it, but I am willing to do my best to share your worries for you brothers.”
Ancestor Shiyuan thought for a moment, then nodded: "I have heard about the name of 'Shenxing Taibao' for a long time. It would be a great honor for us if you could give me some advice. Please——"
Now everyone returned to the hall and took their seats. Zu Shiyuan then said in a deep voice: "Okay, you two will tell the story from beginning to end."
Xia Houcheng and Bai Qin looked at each other, and Xia Houcheng explained in detail how they encountered the officers and soldiers and how they were defeated. After hearing this, everyone frowned. Tan Gao shook his head and said: "We are outnumbered. It doesn't matter if we lose. It's just How come Tong Guan's main force is here?"
Just as Zu Shiyuan was about to speak, he suddenly heard a guard coming to report that it was Wu Yingxing, the general in charge of the East Guards, who had led more than a thousand remaining troops and returned over the mountains and wading rivers.
With the precedent of Xia Houcheng's defeat, it was expected that Dongguan would not survive. However, when they heard that Wu Yingxing had escaped, everyone was relieved and hurriedly ordered him to come in.
Wu Yingxing was walking on a small road. He was already a defeated general. He was stumbling and rolling all the way, becoming more and more embarrassed and covered in mud. As he walked in, he shouted: "Prime Minister, Tan Shuai, make the decision for my little brother!" If those Liangshan grass bandits were not incompetent and unable to defend Wulong Ridge, how could I have been defeated?"
Before he finished speaking, Dai Zong let out a strange cry of "Ah hit" and kicked him with a flying kick. Wu Yingxing didn't take any precautions and kicked him in the face, causing him to somersault and fly out.
Zu Shiyuan and others stood up in shock, thinking: This guy deserves to be called the "Shenxing Taibao", he is really good at leggings!
Dai Zong kicked Wu Yingxing away, flew back, took advantage of the situation and pulled out his sword, spit out the door, and said angrily: "I, a hero from Liangshan, have traveled thousands of miles and endured thousands of hardships to work for your family. I suffered so much pain, but out of kindness, I just changed the words 'the grass bandits are incompetent'?"
In terms of martial arts, Dai Zong could only compete with Song Jiang and a few others. However, at this moment, the strong man was angry and everyone in the hall was terrified.
Zu Shiyuan hurriedly shook his hands: "Heroes, don't be angry, there must be a misunderstanding on this matter!"
Seeing Wu Yingxing getting up, he felt angry for a moment. He rushed over and kicked him, causing him to somersault and fall to the ground. He cursed: "Did you eat a donkey's head and kick it? Or did you chew dung in your mouth? Liangshan You are as close to me as a family, and you have sacrificed your life for the cause of the Holy Gong. How dare you insult me? If I don’t kill you, I will not be able to show my loyalty to Brother Liangshan!”
After saying that, he drew out the sword from his waist and was about to kill Wu Yingxing. Wu Yingxing was so frightened that he rolled away to avoid it. Tan Gao and Huan Yi jumped up quickly, one hugged Zu Shiyuan by the waist, and the other grabbed his sword and shouted anxiously. He said: "There must be a misunderstanding about this matter. I have the right to leave his donkey's head on his neck. If the explanation does not make sense, it is not too late to kill him."
Wu Yingxing sat up and took a look at the situation in the hall: No need to ask, the one who kicked him must be from Liangshan. He said bad things about people before the eyes of the rightful master, so it was not unfair to be kicked—— But if he lost his head because of this, it would be a big injustice.
As soon as he changed his mind, he quickly knelt down and shouted: "Prime Minister, I didn't mean to scold Liangshan. I was just out of anger and anger. My three thousand brothers have lost two thousand. My heart is bleeding with pain. I just want to If it weren’t for the heroes in Liangshan not guarding Wulong Ridge, why would we be here? Therefore, I spoke without hesitation, and I realized I was wrong."
Zu Shiyuan behaved like this, partly because he hated Wu Yingxing for being stupid, and partly because he wanted to calm Dai Zong. When he saw Wu Yingxing turning the corner, he was secretly happy, but his face was filled with anger: "Leave the Liangshan heroes here, you and I What should I apologize for? Go and apologize to others."
Wu Yingxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the test. He quickly looked at Dai Zong and was about to speak, but Dai Zong had a gloomy face and asked first: "You said that Wulong Ridge has been lost? Then where are all my brothers in Liangshan?" "
This is exactly what happened: The army went to Qingxi in great strength, and the defenders were defeated and fled into the mud. Who says Liangshan is ungrateful? Traveling thousands of miles to send a miracle doctor.
Note: The administrative seat of Muzhou is now Chun'an. In the ninth year of Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, it was renamed Xin'an County. In the twentieth year of Kaiyuan's reign in the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Huanchun County. In the first year of Yongzhen's reign, it was renamed Qingxi County. This name was used in the Song Dynasty. . Previously it was written as Xin'an County, but after verification, it was revised to Qingxi County.
