Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Not to mention that Jiang Hongfei took advantage of others' opportunity in Huaixi to visit a great talent and wanted to recruit him.

It is only said that after several days of careful preparation, Song Jiang asked Song Qing to count the number of people coming down the mountain, and invited his subordinates Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Zheng Tianshou, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, Shi Yong, Dai Zong, Li Kui, Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng, Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Xue Yong, Li Li, and Hou Jian went with him to conquer Zhaojia Village, Zouxian County, Mengyin Region, vowing to wipe out that village.

Why did Song Jiang choose Zhaojia Village to attack?

There are three reasons:

First, Zhaojia Village is the strongest civil force in the Mengyin area. It is basically equivalent to Zhujiazhuang in Liangshanbo. It has thousands of soldiers and 100,000 dan of food. If Song Jiang can capture Zhaojia Village, it will be a short time in Toushan. There will be no shortage of food within that time.

Second, Zhao Xin, the Tuan Lian of Zhaojia Village, originally had the lofty ambition to annihilate the bandits and return the Zhao and Song Dynasties to a bright and prosperous future. However, because all the officials in the county were corrupt and incompetent, they had no choice but to create a powerful army. In addition to supporting the troops to protect themselves, the Xiangyong armed forces in the Mengyin area also assist the government troops in guarding the Mengyin area. The surrounding villages follow Zhaojia Village. Any bandits who want to attack the villages in the Mengyin area will be attacked. The attack on Zhaojia Village meant that it was impossible for Song Jiang to go to the Mengyin area to borrow food without destroying Zhaojia Village.

Third, when Naitoushan established the stronghold, it was under the banner of Shuibo Liangshan Branch. Zhao Xin had a grudge against Jiang Hongfei for taking away his wife, so he started fighting with Naitoushan, which was less than a hundred miles away from his home. He vowed to destroy Naitoushan. Recently, Zhao Xin had two big flags placed in front of the village, with the words: "Kill Naizi to capture Chao Gai, pull out Zha Tou to capture Song Jiang."

——Actually, what Zhao Xin really wanted to eliminate was Shuibo Liangshan, and the one he wanted to capture alive was Jiang Hongfei. However, Shuibo Liangshan was too powerful and too far away from Zhaojia Village, so Shao Xin could only capture Naitoushan first. This branch of Shuibo Liangshan vents its anger.

Since Zhaojia Village is not weak in strength and is related to Zengtou City, which has over 10,000 soldiers and horses, as well as a top-notch Qi practitioner Shi Wengong and a top-notch Qi practitioner Su Ding, Naitoushan has never dared to come to provoke him, let alone the Mengyin area. Borrow food.

Therefore, Song Jiang, who wanted to prove that he was stronger than Chao Gai, wanted to capture Zhaojia Village in one fell swoop and establish his authority in Naitou Mountain.

It was decided that in addition to the leader Chao Gai guarding the stronghold, leaders such as Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, Gu Jian, Bai Sheng, Li Ying, Du Xing, Song Qing and others were left to guard the stronghold. There were officials assigned to guard the gates and stores, but none of them moved.

Song Qing wrote a notice and divided the leaders who came down the mountain to attack Zhaojia Village into two groups:

The first wave was led by Song Jiang himself, with nine leaders and two thousand minions.

The second wave was led by Qin Ming, with eight leaders and two thousand minions.

Two waves of people descended from Naitou Mountain one after another, and arrived in front of Zhaojia Village without saying anything on the road.

With more than a mile to go, the former army descended the Zhaizha.

Song Jiang sat down in the Chinese army tent and mobilized his troops...

Let’s talk about Zhaojia Village.

At the beginning, when Jiang Hongfei took away the sorghum, Zhao Xin felt that he had been humiliated and humiliated. He practiced local bravery in the Zhaojia Village and performed wildly every day. He originally intended to go against Shuibo Liangshan and obey the king's hatred, so as to eat up Mao Jiantu's sincerity and pay for it. The hatred of seizing his wife.

Unfortunately, after Zhao Xin waited for more than three years, the Zhao and Song Dynasties had no intention of attacking Shuibo Liangshan. Instead, they made Shuibo Liangshan stronger and stronger.

This makes Zhao Xin extremely distressed!

Suddenly, he heard that Naitou Mountain was coming to attack his Zhaojia Village. Zhao Xin sneered: "If I can't defeat the big one, I can't deal with you, the little one?"

As early as a long time ago, Zhao Xin knew that sooner or later, his Zhaojia Village would have to compete with Shuibo Liangshan. Therefore, Zhao Xin sent someone to invite Shi Gugong, who was resourceful and knowledgeable about Qimen Dunjia, to serve as a military advisor.

After Shi Gugong arrived, he said with great confidence: "The regiment is very powerful. If we fight against the Liangshan bandits, we can win. What we have to worry about is that tens of thousands of Liangshan soldiers will come to suppress the situation. If you have a plan, you can win. Group training can be done in this village." On all sides, build one thousand and eighty large round altars, and let the two generals Huadiao and Jinzhuang guard them. According to the directions of the nine palaces, Yu has his own mysterious method to discipline him to enter the formation and make everyone unconscious."

Zhao Xin is overjoyed and arranged accordingly.

Unexpectedly, the Jiugong Dharma Altar prepared by Zhaoxin for the heroes of Liangshan was not used by Shuibo Liangshan, but was used by Naitoushan first.

According to Shi Gugong's command, Zhao Xin ordered Huadiao and Jinzhuang to guard the Jiugong Dharma Altar and set up defenses.

The next day, a soldier suddenly reported: "There are a lot of thieves from Toushan!"

Summon Xin and the troops from all over the country to guard on all sides, cut off the water mouth, and dress and hang up neatly, waiting for the war to begin.

In order to boost morale, Zhao Xin ordered the banker: "Prepare thousands of ropes to bind souls. If the thieves come, they will bundle one thousand and bundle one thousand. If they come, they will bundle ten thousand and ten thousand. Don't let any of them go."

The bankers agreed in unison.

People outside the village could only be heard shouting that the horse neighed, and the people from Naitoushan had arrived.

Zhao Xin carries a gold-plated ink in his hand, is covered in gold chain mail, rides a good horse, and is the first to meet the enemy.

I saw Qin Ming waving a flaming mace on the opposite side, and without saying a word, he ran directly in front of him.

Zhao Xin hurriedly stopped him with a gold-plated hammer and said, "Come and give me your name!"

Qin Ming slapped his head on his head and said, "I want you to meet the Sa family."

Zhao Xin was furious, so he danced the gold-plated sword in a roar, his whole body was covered with thunder and lightning, holding Qin Ming's fiery mace, the two fought for more than a hundred times, with neither victory nor defeat.

On the battlefield, murderous intent was flying, and the sky was spinning.

Both sides of the formation were stunned.

Song Jiang was also surprised. He didn't expect that Zhao Xin was so strong that he was not inferior to Qin Ming.

Zhao Xin saw that Qin Ming could not win in a short while, so he knocked Qin Ming's mace away with his gold-plated rod, and then retreated to Zhaojia Village.

Qin Ming didn't think much, he picked up the fire mace and went to pursue him.

Song Jiang thought Qin Ming had won and ordered: "General attack!"

After receiving Song Jiang's order, Li Kui and Hou Jian, who were eager to make meritorious deeds, ran the fastest. They took their respective minions and rushed into Zhaojia Village following Qin Ming.

At this time, Huang Xin also rushed to the front of Zhaojia Village. When he saw that there were more than a thousand large round altars in Zhaojia Village, he realized that something was not right. He quickly shouted: "Get out quickly, the enemy is cheating!"

Song Jiang in the back was quite clever. After hearing Huang Xin's message, he quickly ordered: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops!"

But at this moment, I saw Shi Gugong wearing a Ge scarf and a Bagua Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk, standing on the altar, pointing at the people on Naitoushan and saying with a smile: "How many abilities do you and other thieves have? How dare you hit them?" Come into my Nine Palace Dharma Altar!"

As soon as Shi Gugong finished speaking, heavy fog rose in Zhaojia Village. Qin Ming, Li Kui, Hou Jian and hundreds of minions from Naitou Mountain who were trapped in the Nine Palace Altar were swallowed up by the heavy fog.

The other people in Naitou Mountain saw that the situation was not good and retreated one after another.

"How can we fight this battle?!" Song Jiang was dumbfounded.

yes.

Song Jiang brought a lot of leaders this time, but the ones he could really fight were very limited. It could be said that except for Qin Ming, Mu Hong, and Huang Xin, the others were all bastards, and even Mu Hong and Huang Xin were They are just gangsters who are slightly stronger than others. Li Kui, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Zheng Tianshou, and Xue Yong can defeat small pawns. The rest are either generals like Zhang Heng or Zhang Shun. , or simply a slightly stronger pawn.

Now that Qin Ming, Song Jiang's most capable person, is trapped in Zhaojia Village, Song Jiang is suddenly confused!

The key point is that Song Jiang is completely confused about the Jiugong Dharma Altar and doesn't know how to deal with it!

what to do?

After much hesitation, Song Jiang could only withdraw his troops first.

Returning to the Chinese army's tent, Song Jiang looked at Huang Xin and others and asked, "What can we do if this is the case? If Song Jiang cannot defeat Zhaojia Village and rescue these brothers, he would rather die. There is no shame in going back to see Brother Chao Gai here!"

All the leaders, you look at me, I look at you, there is nothing you can do.

Except for Huang Xin, none of the leaders under Song Jiang were professional soldiers before. In fact, they didn't know how to fight at all.

To take a step back, even Huang Xin, who was a professional soldier, has never seen the Nine Palaces Dharma Altar. How do you expect him to know how to break the Nine Palaces Dharma Altar?

Seeing this, Song Jiang sighed. There were so many leaders, but there was no one who could discuss it.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. After an unknown amount of time, Song Jiang could only say: "Go and have a rest. I'll think of a solution."

It was night, Song Jiang tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He had never led troops to fight before, so he really didn't know how to deal with this troublesome situation?

Should we continue to fight in Zhaojia Village, or should we stop fighting?

If so, how?

If he didn't fight, he would have blown away the bull, so how would it end?

Sudden!

There was a cry of death outside!

At first, Song Jiang was a little unresponsive.

However, Song Jiang soon realized that Zhao Xin must have come to rob the camp because he liked him.

Song Jiang quickly went to get his sword and rushed out of the tent without putting on his shoes.

Immediately, Song Jiang saw Zhao Xin, who was like a thunder god, leading three to five hundred men and horses, killing left and right in the camp, and setting fires everywhere. The people of Naitoushan were unprepared and were caught off guard. They ran and dispersed and were beaten. Countless men and horses were killed and wounded.

Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng brought two spirited horses and asked Song Jiang to mount them and escape.

Song Jiang was determined not to mount his horse, and shouted: "My general, this is the matter, we should not seek survival. You Cao must go immediately, there is no way to provoke the thieves!"

Seeing this, Zhang Shun slashed Song Jiang's neck with his palm. Song Jiang fainted immediately. Then Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng put Song Jiang on horseback and fled the camp with Song Jiang.

The coach ran away, and the others naturally turned into birds and beasts and dispersed immediately!

The leaders of Naitoushan escaped for more than twenty miles in one breath before gathering their troops and counting their troops...

When Song Jiang woke up, he heard that Kong Ming and Mu Chun had also been captured by Zhao Xin, and that only more than 700 of the more than 4,000 minions he brought this time were left, and the rest were scattered and dead. .

When they first came to attack Zhaojia Village, they captured five leaders in succession, leaving less than a quarter of them, and they lost all their energy.

Song Jiang couldn't accept that this was the result of his victory. He pulled out his sword on the spot and was about to kill himself to apologize.

Fortunately, Mu Hong knocked away Song Jiang's sword at the last moment.

Song Jiang knelt on the ground with a bang and cried bitterly. While crying, he said that he was sorry for Qin Ming, Li Kui, Hou Jian, Kong Ming, Mu Chun and all the people from Naitoushan...

All the leaders on Naitou Mountain were silent.

nothing to say.

This is because Song Jiang's commanding ability is not good.

Otherwise, even if Qin Ming falls, Li Kui and Hou Jian will not fall.

Also, if Song Jiang had arranged a good defense at night, how could he be summoned and easily steal the stronghold?

All said and done, they all complained that Song Jiang had no experience in commanding troops, and insisted on commanding the troops himself. In addition, his generals were not as strong as the Liangshan heroes who fought against Zhujiazhuang in "Water Margin", and they were not as strong as Sun Li and others. The state sent Liangshan heroes to help Song Jiang, and Zhaojia Village was indeed not weak. It was normal for Song Jiang to suffer such a big defeat.

To be honest, the script that Song Jiang and others imagined before coming here was not written like this at all. Instead, they conquered Zhaojia Village in one battle, and then also exempted the innocent people of Zhaojia Village from debts, distributed grain, and distributed fields, and gained both fame and fortune. Song Jiang can slowly evade Chao Gai.

Who would have thought that it would be such a disgraceful result of losing troops and generals.

What to do next?

Someone suggested that they go back to Naitou Mountain and invite Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others to come over and work together to find a way to capture Zhaojia Village and rescue Qin Ming and others.

Someone suggested that Chao Gai and the others would not be allowed to laugh until they died, and they would fight to the death with Zhaojia Village.

Others suggested that they send someone to Zhaojia Village to talk to them and ask them to release the person or spend some money to buy him back.

In short, everything was said, but no one could get to the point.

This also made Song Jiang undecided, so he could only ask everyone to disperse first and talk about it tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Song Jiang felt tired, his body ached, his head was like an axe, his body was steaming, and he could not lie down.

All the leaders came to see.

Song Jiang said: "I just feel hot and painful on my back."

When everyone looked at it, they saw it was as red and swollen as a stick.

The leaders of Song Jiang's men gathered together to discuss and felt that Song Jiang was recovering well from his illness and could use this as an excuse to go to Naitou Mountain to ask for help.

——They felt that Chao Gai would not talk too deeply about Song Jiang when he saw that Song Jiang was so ill.

So everyone sent Dai Zong back to Naitou Mountain to ask for help.

In just one day, Chao Gai led Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Gu Jian, Li Ying and two thousand troops to reinforce Song Jiang.

Seeing Chao Gai, all the leaders of Song Jiang discovered that although Naitou Mountain suffered a heavy defeat, Chao Gai changed from the sluggishness they had before they came down the mountain, and became radiant and full of momentum.

At the same time, because he had suffered a defeat and was waiting for Chao Gai to turn the tide, Song Jiang's leader bent his waist unconsciously after seeing Chao Gai again, and did not even dare to look directly at Chao Gai.

Chao Gai suddenly felt elated!

Of course, Chao Gai was also trying his best to pretend to be sad, but because Chao Gai was too straight-tempered, he couldn't pretend to be sad.

But anyway, Song Jiang fell ill, and now that Chao Gai is here, Song Jiang's leaders finally have a backbone.

As soon as Chao Gai and others arrived at Huang Xin's newly established camp, they came to visit Song Jiang as soon as possible.

Seeing Chao Gai and Wu Yong arriving, Song Jiang immediately struggled to sit up.

But whenever Song Jiang moved, his back would hurt so much that Song Jiang didn't dare to move.

Chao Gai hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him, saying: "My dear brother, please don't move. You can rest in peace and recuperate. Since my brother is here, you don't need to worry about anything anymore."

Song Jiang's face was full of shame. He cried and said: "My little brother has lost his army and lost the face of Fengshan. I really have no face to live in this world, but my brothers are not allowed to do it, alas~!"

Although Chao Gai also knew that saying these words now was a bit adding insult to injury, but when he thought of Song Jiang's lack of mercy when he forced the palace, Chao Gai still said it:

"Brother Wei, I told you before that this Zhaojia Village is not weak and should not be easily provoked. Otherwise, why would brother Wei have not fought since he has been here for more than two years? Isn't it because he is stable and knows how to act according to his ability and favors you? I didn't listen to my brother's good advice and rashly led the troops to attack, resulting in a huge defeat. My Fengshan strength was severely damaged and my spirit was lost."

At this point, Song Jiang had to listen to what Chao Gai said. Who allowed him to lose his troops and generals, and lose the prestige of Naitoushan.

But what Chao Gai didn't see was that Song Jiang's eyes were filled with forbearance and hatred!

Wu Yong looked on without saying a word, just watching Chao Gai's wanton revenge and Song Jiang holding back.

At this moment, Wu Yong only had two words in his mind - disappointment!

Song Jiang has a strong eye but a weak hand.

Chao Gai's city government was insufficient.

Neither of these two will become great.

After giving Song Jiang a few hard kicks to make him feel comfortable, Chao Gai remembered that Song Jiang was still ill and said, "My dear brother, you don't have to worry about the rest. I'll do everything for my brother. My dear brother, I'll rest in peace and recuperate." Can."

Then Chao Gai asked Wu Yong, who had read several medical books, to look at Song Jiang's injuries.

After Wu Yong looked at it, he said: "This disease is either carbuncle or gangrene. I read the prescription and it said that the black bean powder can protect the heart and the poisonous gas cannot invade it. So I bought this thing and arranged to eat it with my brother."

Later, Wu Yong arranged for people to treat Song Jiang.

Unexpectedly, this is of no use at all, and Song Jiang's illness becomes more and more serious.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun said: "When I was in Xunyangjiang, my mother suffered from back disease, which could not be cured by hundreds of medicines. Later, I asked Jiankang Prefecture to cure the disease quickly. Now that I see my brother with such a disease, I will go east here." The journey is long and we can't get there quickly. For my brother's sake, I have to go there at starry night and ask him to come and save my brother."

Song Jiang heard this and said: "Brother, if you have this person, come with me quickly. Stop working hard and put your loyalty first. Go and ask this person at starry night to save my life."

Wu Yong asked someone to fetch one hundred spiritual stones as An Daoquan's medical fee, and took thirty more spiritual stones as payment for Zhang Shun's expenses, and distributed them to Zhang Shun: "That's all for now. I must come with him at all costs. Don't do it." Wrong! Brother Song Jiang's life is in your hands, brother, go and come back quickly."

Zhang Shun said goodbye to everyone, put his parcel on his back, led a spirit horse and left...

Zhang Shun went to ask An Daoquan to treat Song Jiang for the time being.

It is only said that seeing Song Jiang suffer a heavy defeat, Chao Gai saw the opportunity to become the leader of Naitou Mountain. He was so arrogant that he determined to defeat Zhaojia Village, capture Zhao Xin, and rescue Qin Ming and other people who fell into Zhaojia Village in Naitou Mountain. The five leaders...

…
