At dusk, at the juncture of Shangwu, Zhang Xian reported to Yue Fei: "Now Yang Zaixing and six other righteous brothers have voluntarily surrendered to worship and been bound, and I respectfully ask Yue Du to punish them. Yue Fei was silent for a long time: "I have heard about their surrender and bondage, and they have brought six people here!" ”

A moment later, Yang Zaixing and the other six people knelt in front of Yue Fei together. Yang Zaixing said: "I did not listen to Colonel Yue's advice, but instead killed him, no matter how Yue Taiwei was punished, I deserved it, and I had no complaints!" Wang Lan and the others said, "Although we are worshippers, we are willing to die together with Brother Yang, and we have no complaints!" ”

Yue Fei looked around at the generals, and especially stared at Zhang Ying and Li Zhang. The two looked at each other and knelt down with the six: "Yang Zaixing has committed a lot of sins, but he is still a good man." We have been righteous with him, but we may the ruler redeem him to death! "After the words are finished, keep prostrating your head."

Yue Fei looked up at the sky and cried out, "Liu Lang! You have a spirit in heaven, but teach me how to do it? Then he gritted his teeth and first lifted Zhang Ying and Li Zhang up: "Your ten righteous brothers, who fought to the death with the prisoners, now that Zhao Taiwei and Yue Taiwei have sacrificed their lives for the country, teach me how to bear to kill another one?" When everyone heard that Zhao Hong and Yue Heng were dead, they couldn't stop crying.

Yue Fei suppressed his grief and personally untied Yang Zaixing. Yang Zaixing cried loudly as he slammed his head to the ground, and his face was suddenly covered in blood. Yue Fei lifted him up with all his strength: "I am in the same village as you, and I should resolve my old vendetta with you, work together with one heart, and serve the country with loyalty and righteousness!" Yang Zaixing still broke away from Yue Fei and fell to his knees on the ground and wept.

Yue Fei was alone in a hut, and did not light an oil lamp, but just knelt in the direction of Mo Xieguan: "Liu Lang, the fifth brother must not avenge you, can you resent the fifth brother?" However, according to the current situation, how can I bear to kill your enemy? May Rokuro be forgiven in the Spirit of Heaven! ”

Yue Fei pounded his chest and wept, and in a trance, he seemed to see Yue Xiang enter the hut, as if he had lived a peaceful life. Yue Fei pounced on him and hugged him tightly, "It turns out that Liu Lang is unharmed!" Yue Xiang said frankly, "The fifth brother is doing things very well, Yang Zaixing repents and rehabilitates, he is a hero, is it not far better than me?" The fifth brother often said that for a general, the first thing he must be benevolent and loving. Since I am a fellow countryman with Yang Zaixing, I can't bear to ask him to die for me! Yue Fei cried, "Liu Lang understands the great righteousness, but he taught me to cut off my liver and intestines!" ”

Yue Fei woke up crying, only to realize that it was a sudden dream: "Liu Lang is in the spirit of heaven, and he really understands me." Rub your eyes again and feel your eyes regain your sight.

The next morning, Yue Fei and the congregation dined. Everyone felt relieved to see Yue Fei wolfing down. Yue Fei asked Gao Lin, "How many people does Cao Cheng still have now?" Gao Lin said, "Cao Cheng has been defeated many times, and there are less than 18,000 people left. Yue Fei then asked Yang Zaixing and so on: "According to the will of the lieutenants, how should we enter Pengling?" ”

Yang Zaixing said generously: "The last general Meng Yuedu ruled the grace of heaven and earth, and is willing to be the vanguard, break the thief in one fell swoop, and take Cao Cheng's first rank to dedicate to his subordinates!" The other five also said, "We are willing to make a contribution with Brother Yang!" ”

Yue Fei said, "Cao Chengwei is a disciple of the mountains and forests, but the enemy is stealing the Central Plains." If the recruitment of security is the first, the killing and injury is the bottom, and the northern elites under Cao Cheng's troops are collected, and in the future, in order to recover Yanyun, they will have a chance of victory. Sun Tzu said: 'A soldier who surrenders without a fight, a good one who is good.' 'For the general shall not be murderous, but shall be based on benevolence.' Cao Cheng's subordinates are also the naked sons of our country, and although they have committed crimes, if they have to abandon evil and follow the good, they should accept it sincerely. ”

The sergeant came to report: "Now Cao Cheng's relatives have led the thieves and horses to the pass." Yang Zaixing jumped up: "The last general is willing to go out to fight!" Wang Lan and the others also stood up, and Yue Fei ordered: "Wang and Pang Er can lead the infantry of their own army to meet the battle with the sixth lieutenant, and General Zhang Zheng will go with General Li Zheng." This must be more recruited, less killed! The generals said in unison, "Obey the order!" ”

In an open area north of Shangwu Pass, Cao Cheng lined up. The Song army gradually arrived, and Yang Zaixing and six others shouted in front of the battle: "We have surrendered to the officers and soldiers, and Mengyue has recruited them regardless of their former enmity." If you wish to recruit security, you will return to the Central Plains with your officers and troops in the future, and you will be favored and honored; if you do not want to surrender, you should die under the blade ([dí], arrow)! Cao Cheng ordered: "The crossbowmen protrude from the front of the line and shoot intensively!" ”

Yang Zaixing and six other people saw the situation and shot straight through the enemy position. In the midst of the six horsemen's sudden formation, they repeatedly shouted: "Worshippers do not kill!" The officers and soldiers pressed on, and more than 8,000 people threw down their weapons and sat on the ground to surrender. Yang Zaixing happened to meet Wang Yuan and shot him under his horse. Cao Cheng was defeated and had to flee back to Pengling.

(Narrator: The officers and soldiers went down to Sanling in one fell swoop, and Cao Cheng was poor, so he had to transfer from Lianzhou to Chenzhou.) Zhang Xian led his army in hot pursuit, and together with Wang Gui, Xu Qing and other troops, recruited more than 20,000 people along the way. Cao Cheng fled to Jiangxi in a hurry, and when he encountered Han Shizhong's troops who had returned from Fujian, he had to lead the people to surrender. Hao Yan [zhěng] refused to surrender, and went west to Yuanzhou, still broken by Zhang Xian, and Hao Yan was captured. ）

On the road from Daozhou to Yongzhou, the army returned to the division, and Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Xu Qing, and others were in front of them. Wang Gui said: "This time to suppress the bandits, Cao Cheng surrendered to Han Shizhong, Li Hong killed Ma You, and Liu Zhong fled to Pseudo-Qi, which was generally quite smooth. Zhang Xian said: "It is a pity that I did not kill Liu Zhongna and avenge Zhang Zhaofu." Xu Qing said, "The evil is too much, forgive him sooner or later he will not be able to die a good death!" ”

Zhang Xian said: "It is unfair to suppress bandits and make great achievements, but the imperial court has only promoted Yuedu to be unified as the Zhongwei Doctor and the Wu'an Army to undertake the mission. Wang Gui said: "Perhaps the imperial court deliberately does not make a general star, and the promotion is too fast." Zhang Xian said: "None of this matters, what is important is that Yue Du's eyes have just recovered from illness, and the soldiers are fighting in the hot and barren land, and no one has the plague." In the eyes of many scholars, this is not only a miracle, but also yue Dutong's loyalty and righteousness that touched the heavens, and god blessed him. ”

Yue Fei didn't say a word until he was at the big camp in Qiyang County, and he felt that his eyes lit up. One of them said in front of the horse: "Yue Chengxuan has returned to suppress the bandits, and his prestige has spread far and wide, and one side has been blessed." The lower official was Qiyang County's ChengZhang Jiefu, who was also a former friend of Yue Chengxuan, and was respectfully invited to rest in the museum. ”

Yue Fei exclaimed, "Brother Zhang Liu, it is indeed you!" Wang Gui and Xu Qing also said, "How painful it is to meet a former friend in his hometown!" The three dismounted, and the four looked at each other arm in arm, overjoyed.

Yue Fei said, "When the army is far away, how can this small pavilion accommodate 20,000 people and horses to rest?" Soldiers don't enter the house, so why should I go in alone? And please ask Brother Zhang Liu to go back, and we will choose a place to rest outside the station. Zhang Jiefu said: "Jiuwen Yue Chengxuan and the soldiers are happy and bitter, so they have to serve the soldiers, and today it is true!" However, it is necessary to enter the museum to ink to make the pengxun shine. Yue Fei said, "If the subordinate officials neglect to write a pen, how can they write well?" Zhang Jiefu laughed: "Brother Yue Had to resign, when Grandpa said that I was only worthy of grinding ink for you!" ”

Yue Fei and the others entered the museum, Zhang Jiefu chose a wall, and Yue Fei wrote an inscription: "Yue Fei was ordered to beg the thief Cao Cheng, from Guiling to level the nest, Erguang, Huxiang are safe." However, the second saint has not been returned, the world is not at peace, and he swears to be loyal and filial. Su Lai Sheji Wei Ling, Jun Xiang Xianming, he swept away the Hu Yu every day, returned to his homeland, welcomed the two palaces back to the dynasty, and kuan tianzi's worries day and night, this zhi also. Is it enough to take care of the swarm of bee ants? After this, because it stays on the wall. ”

Zhang Jiefu sighed, "Brother Yue's words of loyalty and righteousness flow from the bottom of his heart, and they are admirable!" Sun Ge said: "Although Yue Chengxuan is not a Confucian general, he likes to be close to the scribes and discuss ancient and modern times. Zhang Jiefu clenched Yue Fei's hands: "In the future, if you get Yue Cheng's announcement, you will be fortunate to have three lives!" Yue Fei said, "If You have Zi Heng teaching it day and night, it will also be enough to comfort you!" "When the words were finished, the crowd snuggled up and said goodbye.

The army continued to march northeast, and was about to reach Hengzhou, and Wang Henglai reported: "Jinghu lake and Guangnan Road Xuanfu made Li Xianggong just reach the boundary of Jinghu South Road, temporarily stay in Hengzhou Prefecture, and said that he would summon Yue Chengxuan and the lieutenants. Yue Fei was overjoyed: "I have been waiting for a long time to see Li Xianggong, and I don't expect that today is a good opportunity!" ”

In a hut in Hengzhou, separated by a food table, Li Gang and Yue Fei stared for a long time. Li Gangxian said, "Six years ago, Peng held up a book on a piece of paper, preparing to see Loyalty. As an envoy to the imperial camp, I was ashamed that I had not been able to hire a general for the country. However, in the cone pocket, its last stand, the chaotic world does not hide the true hero, the emperor does not live up to the bitter heart, Pengju today, is already a famous general who is attracted by all. ”

Yue Fei said: "Six years ago, when xiaguan [chǐ] seized military status, it was only a trivial matter, and it was not enough to worry about it. However, Li Xianggong was responsible for economic talent, but he could not stretch his ambitions, sit in ZTE, but was framed by traitors and thieves, who went far away from Qiongzhou, Hainan, which was enough to make the people of the world sigh! ”

Li Gang smiled bitterly: "The old man is old, and since he cannot enter the imperial court, he cannot serve the meager power of the Great Song Dynasty." Pengju is young and strong, the army is serious, the loyalty is fierce, and the next day he is a famous general of Zhongxing, and he will be the right of the three major generals of Liu Pingshu, Han Liangchen, and Zhang Boying in the southeast. Therefore, the hope of the Great Song Zhongxing is not in Li Gang, but in Pengju! ”

Yue Fei said: "Although the subordinate officials are not talented, they still have the ambition to repay the service, dare not be reckless, and have the high hopes of Li Xianggong?" However, in the affairs of the world, only the wise ministers preside over the middle, and the military generals have to make meritorious contributions to the outside. The subordinate officials and the lieutenants only hoped that Li Xianggong would re-enter the government and advocate a grand plan for the people of the world, and that zhongxing would be able to help with the matter. ”

Li Gang said: "When I reached the boundary of Jiangxi, Fang knew that Zhang Zhengfang had martyred for the country. Now I have heard that someone has erected a tomb for him on White Face Mountain. Yue Fei said: "When the subordinate officials heard that Zhang Zhao had been martyred, they tried every means to visit his elders and children, but there was no news." May the heavens have eyes and leave a loyal vein. ”

The two were silent for a long time, and Li Gang said: "Under the curtain of the Great General, you must not be without Jiashi." The old man used to worship the chancellor, and there were Li Xunqing and Zhu Xiaoyin, who accompanied them day and night, and they knew that they were loyal and wise. If in the future, Peng Ju had to put the two under the curtain, it would be enough to help the recovery plan. ”

Yue Fei said: "The subordinate official met li Zhang in Jiangzhou last year, and he still has a lot of questions. However, he did not have access to Zhu Zhang. Li Gang said: "Zhu Xiaoyin has now gone to Taizhou as a military governor, and you can ask him questions." Yue Fei said, "If you have to respectfully invite Li and Zhu Erzhang to condescend to the ranks of the lower officers, it will be a great fortune." ”

In Baimian Mountain, Pingjiang County, Yue Fei and everyone changed into single linen clothes and prepared incense candles and paper money to arrive. There is a tomb on the barren mountain, and a stele is erected in front of the grave, which is engraved with the inscription "Tomb of Zhang Gongzhi of the Former Hebei West Road of the Great Song Dynasty", and the handwriting looks like new. The crowd burned paper money in front of the grave, set up incense cases, and then knelt down in front of the case in unison.

Sun Ge wept and read the sacrifice text: "On July 25, the second year of the reign of Emperor Shaoxing of the Wei Dynasty, Zhongwei Dafu, Wu'an Juncheng Xuanxuan, and Shenwu Deputy Commander All commanded Yue Fei and his subordinate officers and generals, and hereby offered fragrant tea wine and fruit to the spirit of Zhang Gongzhi on the former Hebei West Road. On the occasion of the country's turmoil, when the people of the people are promising, the public has benevolence and wisdom, the literature is martial, the homeland is skimmed, the food and sleep are forgotten, the heavens are bowed, and the thoughts are not ashamed. Ran slandered, degraded, generously martyred, and killed the green forest. Loyal martyrs, hearers of sorrow; old men and children, the flow of words; heroic style and righteousness, awe-inspiring. The grass is green, and the lonely grave increases the color of the mountains and rivers in the south; the spirit is fluttering, and the loyal soul is strong in the power of the northern Frontier military vehicle. Reminiscing about the usual time, out of the snot, the public is not dead, still come to eat! ”

After reading it, everyone was tearful and could not stand on their knees. Suddenly, a ragged teenager hurried to come and fell to his knees, weeping and losing his voice. Kou Cheng shouted, "This is Zhang Zongben, the son of Zhang Zhaofu!" Yu Peng said, "Yes, I recognize it." Wang Jing asked, "Why did Zhang Yannei get here?" Is your mom okay? Zhang Zongben said: "The city of Tanzhou was destroyed, and my mother died in the rebel army." After I escaped, I was alone and alone, and had to live in the countryside as a shepherd. Later, when he heard that there was a tomb of his father here, he changed to a nearby short-term worker, and from time to time came to offer sacrifices. ”

Kou Cheng said: "We are doing everything possible to find out the whereabouts of Zhang Yannei, and we do not expect to meet today." After Providence protects Zhongliang, Zhang Ya must not be exiled outside, and should follow us to Jiangzhou. Zhang Zongben said: "I am only willing to join the army to avenge the country and hate the family." Yue Fei asked, "I don't know what kind of Guigeng is in Zhang Ya?" Zhang Zongben said: "I am fourteen years old this year. Yue Fei said, "Zhang Yanei is young, how did he get into battle?" It is necessary to read poetry and books, learn martial arts, and then consider the matter of repaying the country. Then he said to Peng: "After being loyal, you must be especially kind." When you arrive in Dejiangzhou, you must teach your own family to take care of it. ”

In Jizhou, where the Yue family lived, Yue Fei and Zhang Xian took Zhang Zongben before they entered the door, and they could hear a cry in the house. Zhang Xian said, "If Yue Chengxuan went first, I would see the opportunity with Zhang Yan to act." Yue Fei said, "Just follow this discussion." ”

Yue Fei entered the house and knelt down in front of Yao Shi without saying a word. Wu Huiniang shouted with a sword, "Uncle, if you don't kill Yang Zaixing, the slave family will die in front of Ah Gu and you!" Yue Ling and Li Wa hurriedly hugged her, and Yue Yun shouted, "The sixth aunt can't do it!" Then he stepped forward and took down his sword. Wu Huiniang turned and knelt in front of Yao Shi, hugged her thigh, and repeatedly said, "Agu must avenge Liulang, and Agu must avenge Liulang!" ......”

Yao Shi said sadly, "Wu Lang, if you don't kill Yang Zaixing, you don't need to see the old body!" Yue Fei cried and defended, "If a son is a puppet, he will be crushed to pieces, and he must also avenge his brother's murder." But now that he is the commander of an army, how can he be killed? Rokuro died tragically, and he could not kill another good man. Yao Shi ignored him, and Wu Huiniang continued to cry.

Suddenly, the door of the house was pushed open, and Zhang Xian brought Yang Zaixing and six other people in. All six of them showed their upper bodies and knelt in front of Yao Shi together. Yang Zaixing held a sheathed sword in his hand and said loudly, "I am Tang Yin Yang Zaixing, I regret that I should not have killed Lieutenant Yue, and now I am willing to listen to the punishment of Yao Tai'an and Wu Ruren!" Wang Lan and five others also said, "We are Yang Zaixing's righteous brothers, Yang Zaixing should not have killed Lieutenant Yue, we are willing to die with him today!" ”

Zhang Xian took the sword and handed it to Yao Shi: "Now that the enemy is in front of you, please punish Yao Tai'an!" Yao Shi could not move, but handed the sword to Wu Huiniang, who was still kneeling: "Although the enemies meet each other, the old body cannot get his hands on it, please ask the six brides to pay attention!" Wu Huiniang stood up and glared at the enemy who killed her husband, but only half of her sword was drawn, and then threw it on the ground, covering her face and exiting the room. Li Wa and Yue Ling saw the situation and quickly followed.

Yao Shi stood up in pain, personally lifted Yang Zaixing and the other six people up, and then helped Yue Fei up: "The old body is also a rough understanding of the truth, and after the death of a Liu Lang, how can you bear to kill a good man again?" Thousands of hatreds, but in the future to go to the Central Plains to fight with the prisoners! Yang Zaixing and the others hugged Yao's legs and wept: "I deeply feel that Yao Tai'an and Wu Are righteous, and after that, only by making a promise to the country with my body can I comfort Lieutenant Yue's spirit in heaven!" ”

Yang Zaixing and the others retreated, Li Wa and Yue Ling brought Wu Huiniang in, and Zhang Xian also brought Zhang Zongben in. Yue Fei said, "This is Zhang Zhaofu's orphan, and I want to adopt her at home." Wu Huiniang cried: "The slave family has no children and no daughters under their knees, and after Zhang Yanei is a loyal subject, the golden branches and jade leaves, the slave is willing to fulfill the responsibility of nurturing, just like the mother." ”

Zhang Zongben immediately knelt down: "I would like to recognize Wu Ruren as a righteous mother." Wu Huiniang hurriedly lifted him up: "The slave family is ignorant and ignorant, won't you kill the slave family?" Zhang Zongben said firmly: "I am alone, it is rare that Wu Wei has a deep sense of righteousness, and after that, I am my own righteous mother. ”

In Li Wa's bedroom, Yue Fei said, "Since Zhang Yanei is already at home, he must not be treated lightly. From now on, the first is Zhang Yannei, the second is the third sister, and the third is his own children. It is better to grievance his own children than to grievance Zhang Yannei and his third sister. Since the sixth sister-in-law has married a mother and son with him, the responsibility of nurturing is self-evident. However, after Zhang Yanei was a Confucian, Xiao'e still needed to supervise Confucianism in order to be able to comfort Zhang Zhaofu in the spirit of heaven. Li Wa said, "Pengju is doing very well, and I will obey the command." ”

Yue Fei said, "The army is about to leave for Jiangzhou. I have been to many cities, but I like Jiangzhou the most. If you have achieved success and retired, you are only willing to retire in Jiangzhou for the rest of your life. ”

Li Wa said, "The Tangyin Yue clan was not willing to be enslaved by the captives, and they came to yi Pengju one after another. Pengju might as well go to Jiangzhou to ask for a field, or teach the people to cultivate and weave for a living. Yue Fei said, "What Xiao'e said is extremely true. Their own family is full of the anointing blood of the people in the south, and they must also be funded for the military, and they must not support the ungrasted people all day long. Buy a farmhouse and teach them to make a living. ”

Li Wa said: "The slave family has not yet arrived in Dejiangzhou, but they know that Pengju must be thinking of the two deceased people." Yue Fei said, "Xiao'e knows my heart very well. I knew that Li Xunqing had left Jiangzhou and was on his way to the imperial court, waiting for the imperial court to send another dispatch, and I did not know when he would see him. Only by meeting elder Hui Hai can he soothe his thirst. Li Wa smiled and said, "Pengju he is willing to enter the empty door every day, but I don't know where to put the slave's home?" Yue Fei said, "The way of husband and wife, the great lun of man." Even if I bring my hair to practice, I will not abolish the righteousness of the couple. Li Wa said, "Even so, the slave is also assured." ”
