Generally speaking, a person's martial arts is often directly proportional to his will.
In other words, most people who achieve peak achievements in any field have an iron will.
Yao Pingzhong's martial arts skills cannot be said to be weak.
However, this person's will, Emma~╮(╯▽╰)╭, is hard to describe in a word.
Fang Qifu and Lu Zhishen surrounded him. Although they knew they had a sure chance of victory, they were each on their own guard. After all, the trapped beast was still fighting. If these fierce generals fought for their lives, they might take one of them to back them up.
Unexpectedly, this guy glanced around, his face gradually turned pale, and he suddenly inserted the gun on the ground, closed his eyes, and said in a depressed tone: "He is a hero, give Yao a good time, don't make me suffer in bits and pieces. "
Lu Zhishen blinked his eyes and said curiously: "That's weird, why did the Sa family say they want to kill you?"
Yao Pingzhong looked discouraged, waved his hands and sighed: "Now that I have been captured, no matter whether I am alive or dead, my reputation has been lost, and my future will be bleak. Even if I are not killed, how can I show my face to the army?"
Fang Qifu was also surprised when he saw his dejected state, and asked tentatively: "Since I have no face to see my old friend...could it be that the general intends to join me in the Yongle Dynasty?"
Yao Pingzhong rolled his eyes and said: "Yao has heard for a long time that you are the brains of the thieves, with both civil and military skills. Now it seems that you are just a martial artist. Although your group of rebel thieves has a small victory, destruction is inevitable in the end. If I surrender, I will be more than timid. , even more stupid, even my adoptive father Yao Gu will be shamed."
Then he sighed again and looked at everyone impatiently: "If you want to kill me, please do it. If you don't want to kill me, let me go and find a mountain to live in seclusion. I will never see the world again."
When Lu Zhishen and others heard these words, they couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that this person's thinking was extremely weird.
The judge heard that according to the original time and space, Tong Guan mobilized the Western Army to conquer Fangla. Although he hated Yao Pingzhong, he knew that he had always been brave, so he took him with him. Fangla was at peace, and Pingzhong was the best among all the troops. When he saw Tong Guan He said: "I don't want to be rewarded, but I want to see officials." Tong Guan became increasingly unhappy. After returning to the court, Wang Yuan, Liu Guangshi and others were summoned, but Yao Pingzhong was not allowed to meet the emperor.
Until the Jin people invaded, the Western Army Qinwang, and Qinzong ascended the throne. Hearing his reputation for bravery, he summoned him to the Funing Palace. Yao Pingzhong began to fulfill his long-cherished wish. In excitement, he "asked the dead men to come out of the camp to capture the captured commanders as sacrifices." Qinzong Zhuang He gave generous gifts of gold and silk.
Yao Pingzhong attacked that night and broke through two strongholds, both of which were empty. Then he realized that he was lying in ambush. The Jin army attacked from all sides and the Song army was defeated. Yao Pingzhong broke out of the encirclement. He was so embarrassed that he fled on a green mule, running 750 miles all day and night. , I wanted to go to Huashan Mountain to live in seclusion, but I felt that Huashan Mountain was too close, so I went straight to Shu, first to Qingcheng, then to Damian Mountain, and went into the deep mountains where no medicinal collector would set foot, and then I stopped and looked for a stone cave. He lived in seclusion and did not appear again until fifty years later.
You must know that in the Song Dynasty, if the leader of the army did not abandon the formation maliciously and was defeated in a vigorous battle, he would rarely be punished. The four Zhongxing generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, except Yue Fei, all suffered many defeats, and even Liu Guangshi, who was defeated repeatedly in battles, was not an official. Are you getting bigger and bigger?
Therefore, if it is said that Yao Pingzhong fled privately because of fear of crime, it is difficult to establish. It is probably because he was arrogant, suffered setbacks, and could not hold back his face.
Although it was difficult for Lu Zhishen and others to understand his words and actions, they also saw that what he said was from the bottom of his heart. They looked at each other. Fang Qifu shook his head and said: "If you don't resist, we will not kill you, but we can't let you go just like that." , let’s take you back to be Wang De’s companion, how you deal with it depends on the wishes of my Majesty.”
Yao Pingzhong said in disappointment: "Killing and not killing, letting and not letting go, it's so uncomfortable."
He got off his horse with a murmur, pulled out the two swords from his back and threw them on the ground. Fang Qifu waved his hand, and several southern soldiers came forward and tied him up and escorted him back to the cave.
Fang Qifu and others led the army back, met Fang La and told the story of the battle. Fang La was overjoyed and couldn't stop praising Lu Zhishen for his bravery.
The next day, Fang La was full of confidence and sent Deng Yuanjue and Pang Wanchun to lead the army to fight. Bao Daoyi and Zheng Biao responded. Unexpectedly, Tong Guan learned his lesson and did not send any vanguards. He personally led the army to fight.
The two sides met head-on. Tong Guan ordered Ma Gongzhi to fight with Deng Yuanjue on foot. The two battles lasted for more than thirty years. Pang Wanchun saw that Deng Yuanjue could not take advantage, so he secretly planned to launch a cold arrow.
On the opposite side, Liu Yanqing was uneasy because he had lost many troops of Qin Fengjun, and wanted to please Ma Gongzhi, so he fired a cold arrow at Deng Yuanjue. The arrow missed Deng Yuanjue's bald head and hit Pang Wanchun in the shoulder.
Poor Pang Wanchun was cautious, just to guard against Wang Shunchen. Unexpectedly, before Wang Shunchen took action, the "Random Arrow" was unable to guard against him, and he immediately fell from his horse.
Deng Yuanjue was also frightened. He turned around and left. He picked up Pang Wanchun and fled. Tong Guan waved his hand, and Wang Zhen and Liu Guangshi led the cavalry to fight out from left and right. The southern army was immediately defeated, leaving corpses along the way. Fortunately, Bao Daoyi and Zheng Biao came to do some magic. The black fog filled the sky, and Deng and Pang's remnants of the army were withdrawn. They did not dare to come out again.
The next day, Tong Guan's army marched into the cave in great force and set up camp in the valley. Commander Tong Guan personally led a group of generals to line up in front of the cave, calling Fang La for answers.
When Fang La heard the report, he was not willing to be outdone. He dressed up carefully, ignited 20,000 imperial guardsmen, and went out of the cave to meet him.
Tong Guan took a quick look and saw that although Fang La was a grass-headed emperor, his attire was also extraordinary. He saw that he——
Hold a yellow nine-curved umbrella behind your back, which rotates with the sun and the moon;
Sitting on his crotch is a silver-maned beast with a golden saddle and jade bridle;
On his head, he wears a golden shield that reaches the sky, and on his body, he wears a nine-dragon robe with the sun, moon, and clouds on his shoulders;
The feet are stepped on, and the double gold seams are exposed, and the waist is tied, and the gold is inlaid with precious stones and exquisite sash;
To Fang La's left and right were the two old leaders of the Mani and Maitreya sects: Wang Gong Lao Fo and Chen Houtong.
On the left are four generals: Fang Qifu, Deng Yuanjue, Bao Daoyi, and Zheng Mojun. On the right are five heroes: Lu Zhishen, Qin Ming, Yang Zhi, Suo Chao, and Zhu Ding. Except for the two leaders, they are all The helmet is pierced through the armor, and the murderous aura is steaming.
Tong Guan looked at it, pointed, and laughed: "Are those people over there all grass bandits from Liangshan? Fang La, Fang La, it's useless for you to make such a big fuss. When things happen, we have to rely on the Liangshan grass bandits for protection." Your life! Isn’t it funny?”
Fang La sneered and said: "You eggless eunuch, you don't understand the loyalty of the world even if I tell you! Stop talking nonsense, if you want to fight, I will fight with you."
Tong Guan didn't care about the other party's humiliation, and said with a faint smile: "Fighting is about fighting, but before fighting, I will teach you how to look at someone!"
As he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him made way, and saw Xin Xingzong coming out with a ferocious smile on his face, holding a rope in his hand, dragging him sideways and backwards, and leading a man out like a dog.
The man staggered out and looked in a state of embarrassment. When he came to the front of the formation, he immediately cried loudly: "Father, save me."
Fang La was shocked when he heard the sound and looked intently. If Fang Qifu hadn't caught him in time, he almost fell off his horse——
The one with a rope tied around his neck and his face covered with snot and tears from crying was none other than Fang Tianding, the prince of Yongle Dynasty!
"Ah! Destiny!" Fang La exclaimed, then glared at Tong Guan: "You are also the commander-in-chief of the army, don't you think it is shameful to threaten my son?"
Tong Guan smiled calmly and said: "When the two armies fought, they used all possible means. Who told your son to be useless and fall into my hands?"
Fang La clenched his fists tightly, and after a while he suppressed his turbulent emotions and nodded fiercely: "Okay! My son is useless! Tong Guan, I have also captured two of your generals, one is named Wang De and the other is Yao Pingzhong. How about trading two of them for Fang Tianding and one hostage, and you and I will decide the winner?"
"Not at all." Tong Guan said lightly: "What kind of generals can the two of them be? Moreover, their skills are not as good as others, and they fell into the enemy's hands. If they had the ambition, they should have committed suicide to serve the country. How can they let me replace him?" ?”
When Fang La heard what he said categorically, he looked disappointed. He took a deep look at his son and said resolutely: "Tong Guan, if you want to use my son to force me to surrender, you are just wishful thinking! The Yongle Dynasty has its current foundation because of everyone. We have shed blood and sweat and worked together to create something. Even if you cut my son into pieces with a thousand knives, you will never think that I will succumb to you."
Tong Guan laughed loudly, waved his hand and said: "In the presence of the majestic Holy Duke, I will naturally not do such a villainous act. What I mean is that you and I will send generals to fight each other in five games. If your family wins three games first , how about I return your son to you?"
Fang La's eyes lit up and he agreed.
Chen Houtong suddenly stretched out his bony old hand and grabbed Fang La's wrist: "Your Majesty, wait a minute!"
Fang La looked at him in confusion, and Chen Houtong whispered urgently: "Do you know why this guy did this superfluous thing? It's just because if our soldiers and horses are compared with his soldiers and horses, one is outnumbered, and the other is not as good as him." The elites have been able to maintain the stalemate until now, all thanks to the generals such as Qi Buddha, who are not inferior to other generals in the army. However, after killing so far, all the generals have withered, either wounded or dead. However, Tong Guan's strategy is to redeem my remaining sons first, and then wait for the remaining few After all the losses have been exhausted, if he marches in with his troops again, how can our army resist?"
Mr. Wang and Lao Buddha nodded and said, "Old Chen is right. Your Majesty, please think again."
After hearing this, Fang La showed a confused and painful expression, looking at Fang Tianding without blinking, and the veins on his forehead gradually popped out.
Fang Qifu looked at Fang La who was in a dilemma and suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, two old leaders, please listen to Qifu! Tong Guan's move is a conspiracy. Although what the old leader Chen said is good, but... "
There was a resolute look on his face: "The so-called Lord humiliates his ministers to death! In terms of personal affairs, Your Majesty is our eldest brother. In terms of justice, Your Majesty is our king. We would rather die on the spot than see Your Majesty. It is such a shame and humiliation to sit back and watch as fate determines your death!"
Deng Yuanjue and Zheng Mojun's faces turned red, and they said in unison: "What the Seven Buddhas said is what my brothers want!"
The old Buddha Wanggong glared angrily and said sternly: "Fart! Don't you know that if a man wants to become a great businessman, he must endure what ordinary people cannot endure in order to succeed!"
He has always accumulated a lot of prestige, and his skills are also strong. When he opened his mouth, everyone was shocked, and even Fang La didn't dare to say anything.
However, Wang Gong and Lao Buddha did not know that, no matter how powerful he was, there was still a true hero here who only knew justice, did not care about power, and was upright throughout his life!
Liangshan Lu Zhishen!
When Lu Zhishen heard what he said, he felt angry. He didn't know what restraint was. He immediately rolled his strange eyes and shouted loudly: "Hey! You old bald donkey, what nonsense are you talking about? A boy from the Shenggong family, He is the prince of Yongle Dynasty. If your prince eats him and chops him up in public, won’t your military spirit be completely wiped out? How can you say that you can’t bear it and can’t succeed? It’s really ridiculous!”
After saying this, he still smiled at Qin Ming and others and said: "Don't you think this old bald donkey is ridiculous? He also shaved his head like the Sa family, but he has no compassion in his heart. Don't you know that human parents can't even care for their own children? , can you still be kind to your brothers and take care of the people? You really have lived like a dog at your age, and read the scriptures into the dog's belly!"
After saying that, he tilted his eyes and looked at Wang Gong Laofu, who was trembling with anger, and said provocatively: "What are you looking at, old dog? The Sa family is talking about you! Huh, if you are not with the Sa family, I will crush you with one punch first. Dog head!”
Then he stretched out his hand and patted Fang La hard on the shoulder: "Shenggong, don't bother with this old dog! Didn't Tong Guan say that there will be five battles between generals? Sajia is counting, one, two, three, four, me, ah ha , don’t I have exactly five brothers here?”
Immediately, his expression became solemn, and an air of generosity, heroism, and a disregard for death swept out: "We have been ordered by my brother to come to help, how can we be willing to see heroes like you being coerced? Today, the five of us will be shattered into pieces. You win your son back!"
When Qin Ming, Yang Zhi, Suo Chao, and Zhu Tong heard his heroic words, they felt a surge of pride in their hearts soaring into the sky. The four laughed loudly, regardless of life and death, and said in unison: "What Senior Brother Lu said is true. It’s in line with my brother’s wishes. Holy Duke, please be at ease. Let’s see how I, the hero of Liangshan, can turn the world upside down in a fight with him!”
Even though Fang La had made friends with heroes throughout his life and had seen many generous and righteous people, he couldn't help but tremble all over at this moment. Two lines of tears rolled down his face. He held Lu Zhishen's big hand tightly: "A hero from Liangshan, your true righteousness is as thin as the sky! I... I If Fang Laruo escapes this difficulty, he is willing to give up his throne to King Chao Tian!"
Lu Zhishen raised his face and said, "What did the Holy Duke say? I only care about loyalty when doing things in Liangshan. Could it be that I am here to seek your fortune?"
Fang La smiled bitterly: I believe you are generous and upright, why don't you go talk to Wu Mengde...
At this time, Wang Gong and Lao Buddha were furious: "Fang La! Lao Chen and I are fully assisting you in achieving your great cause, but we are just asking you to give away my Mingjiao career to this or that?"
Lu Zhishen said angrily: "You old dog, you really deserve a beating! Just get some sleep."
He jumped up from his horse, his fat body flying in the air, and punched Wang Gong Lao Buddha on the top of his head. Wang Gong Lao Buddha let out a strange roar, jumped up, and moved his hand. Lu Zhishen's punch suddenly turned back and hit hard. Hitting the top of his head, he immediately spun around and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, he didn't intend to kill anyone with this punch. He only intended to knock the opponent unconscious. Seeing that the opponent was over eighty years old, he only used 20-30% of his strength to hit his head. Although there was a big swelling, it still healed. Won't faint.
It's just that he has been invincible in fighting in his life, and he has never had such an experience of being countered with just one move. He was so shocked that he forgot to fight again, and stared blankly at Wang Gong Laofu sitting back on his horse, and then at his own fist. , frowned his thick eyebrows: "The Sa family heard that there was a magical skill in the world called 'Star Movement'..."
Wanggong Laofu's face trembled, and he shouted loudly: "Nonsense! This is the magical power of my Manichaeism, which can move the universe! You are ignorant, so don't make random guesses."
Lu Zhishen was waiting to say more when he heard Tong Guan shout: "Rebels and grass bandits, dog meat will not be allowed to eat as expected. Fang La, what do you say, Bi, I will send someone to the end, if I don't Bi, I will collect the body of your son!"
Unexpectedly, Fang Tianding suddenly cried and shouted: "Collect the body, collect the body, don't embarrass my father! Old eunuch, you kill me!" While crying, he tried to take off and kick the child's body, but Xin Xingzong pulled the rope and He fell to the ground and couldn't struggle for a long time.
When Fang La saw that his son, who had always been weak, became strong-willed, his heart became more and more piercing, and tears came to his eyes.
Lu Zhishen despised this situation the most. He rubbed the bag on his head and refused to argue with Wang Gong Laofu. He picked up his Zen staff and shouted: "Competition, let's compete! Come on, let's compete with Sa's family!" "
Tong Guan smiled disdainfully: "Monk Hua, if you don't die after this, I will go back to Liangshan to attack you! Today's five games, I have my own rules, but I only allow everyone from the Mingjiao to end up! Haha, that old monk, 'the stars change' Did you get your name? Very good, very good. No wonder the Imperial City Division has never been able to trace your whereabouts. It turns out that you have become the leader of Manichaeism. You are indeed capable of things that others cannot do and can endure things that others cannot tolerate. You If you want, you can also fight!"
Wang Gong Laofu's face was gloomy, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching: "Disciple... Your Majesty, just use the army to kill him. If you can kill Tong Guan in one fell swoop, you can survive the deadlock!"
Deng Yuanjue shouted loudly: "Kill the whole army, the destiny of heaven is gone first! Your Majesty, I, my ministers, go and fight with General Song!"
After saying that, without waiting for Fang La's consent, he rode his horse to the front of the formation, jumped down, leaned on the iron rod and shouted: "'Baoguang Tathagata' is here, Tong Guan, who did you send to die?"
There are different teachings: stars move, fights change, the world moves, a son is filial to his father, and time passes. The leader, Wang Gong, may be a fake person, but the wise monk is a true Buddha.
