The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 473: Talent, marksmanship, fighting general
In Zhuolu City Military Prison, four members of the Yuan family were tied to pillars, right next to Wang Heishan.

Wang Heishan's old wrinkled face showed a faint expression of gloating.

Don’t worry about scarcity but worry about inequality, and vice versa. Let’s not talk about the blessings but the differences. It’s best for everyone to bear the blame together.

Zhao Tong sat in the chair and looked at the four people inside. The four people had different expressions. The old man and the middle-aged man seemed quite resigned to death, while the young man had his eyes wide open with an unconvinced look on his face. The girl was a little panicked. She was at this moment. The pink sleeves were scratched, revealing a white lotus root-like arm underneath.

Zhao Tong glanced around and landed on the girl. He saw that she was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and said calmly: "Yuan Chun?"

The girl didn't want to answer, but she didn't dare to look at Zhao Tong, so she turned her face to the side.

Zhao Tong looked at her for a moment, then stood up, walked into the prison and approached her.

"What are you going to do?" The girl was so frightened that she wanted to step back, but she was tied to a pillar and had nowhere to go.

Zhao Tong suddenly stretched out a hand and put it on top of her head, then squeezed her shoulders, then pulled out an arm, checked the tendons and pulse, and pulled hard. Yuanchun suddenly felt that half of his body was numb, and immediately said "Ouch" call.

The other three people were shocked when they saw this. The old man said: "Song Gou, what are you doing?"

The middle-aged man also said: "Stop the evil official!"

The young man's eyes were about to burst: "Thief, I'm going to kill you!"

Zhao Tong ignored them, but put down Yuan Chun's arm and said slowly: "The talent for martial arts is extremely good, but it's a pity that the Yuan family doesn't know how to recognize people, and they took the wrong path."

This Yuanchun can join the ranks of first-class masters at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Although it is just barely, it is still amazing. You must know that the middle-aged old man only has this kind of ability, and may not be one and a half points better than the girl.

"You, you..." The girl didn't know what to say for a moment, and she was naturally dissatisfied. The Yuan family was the largest aristocratic family in Xixia. It secretly controlled the entire Xixia Jianghu. The family had a large population and there were endless masters. It was natural for a place like this There is no shortage of famous teachers to teach the clan members. She was selected to practice martial arts due to her outstanding talent since she was a child. Now she is already a first-class skill before she is eighteen. This is also extremely rare in the Yuan family. How could she have gone down the wrong path?
"Sister 28, don't listen to this Song Dog's nonsense, he is messing with your mind and has no good intentions!" the young man shouted anxiously from the side.

Zhao Tong glanced at him and frowned: "Things like pigs and donkeys, if they don't have a lot of strength, are they worthy of being called first-class?"

When the young man heard Zhao Tong's disparagement, he was immediately furious. He was only 25 now. He always boasted of his amazing talent and had the ambition to become a junior master at the age of 30. However, he was scolded as worthless by the other party. He was about to retort, Bai Ba went over and slapped him hard, and his cheeks suddenly swelled up. Bai Zhan stuffed a bunch of rags into his mouth again, and he couldn't make any more noise.

"You, don't..." Seeing Yuan Xia being beaten, the girl wanted to plead for mercy, but when she saw Zhao Tong looking back, she stopped talking, obviously very afraid of him.

You have to be afraid. The four of them, four top-notch martial arts masters, didn't even see what was going on. As soon as their eyes were blurred, they were all knocked to the ground. How high is the opponent's martial arts skill?
Zhao Tong examined her for another moment, then walked out of the cell and sat down again. Yuan Guo couldn't see what Zhao Tong meant, so he came over and whispered: "Master, I want to say a few words?"

Zhao Tong closed his eyes slightly and raised his hand. Yuan Guo immediately said "yes" and walked into the prison. He wondered whether the evil king had a crush on Yuanchun?This is hard to say. No matter whether the evil king is good or not, he is always out with his troops and is unbearably lonely. If I persuade Yuanchun to surrender and serve him, wouldn't it be a great achievement!
When the four people in the prison saw him coming in, their faces all turned angry. Even the old man and the middle-aged man, who had looked as if they were dead just now, also had hatred on their faces.

Yuan Guo coughed and walked up to Yuan Chun: "Sister 28!"

"Bah!" Yuanchun was afraid of Zhao Tong but not Yuan Guo. She scolded with a cold face: "Who is your 28th sister? You shameless betrayer of the country!"

Yuan Guo was not happy when he heard this: "Why did 28-year-old sister say this? How did I betray the country?"

The middle-aged man on the side said angrily: "Yuan Shiyi, you are still shameless. You defected to the Song Dynasty, defrauded Zhuoluo City for support, and led the Song people to defraud Zhuoluo. You killed countless officers and soldiers of Daxia, and their blood flowed like rivers. You haven't betrayed the country yet? You are now an official in the Song army, flattering the Song people. Have you ever thought about how much my Yuan family is responsible for this and how much blame it has received, even though your parents are still in prison!"

"Shut up!" Yuan Guo was immediately furious when he heard this. He grabbed the rag from Bai Zhan's hand and stuffed it in Yuan Qiu's hand. Then he pointed at him and cursed: "Zhu Zian understands military and national affairs, you are just a mere mortal." Do you, a common man who knows how to dance with guns and sticks, also want to learn from scholars and accuse me? You haven’t read as many books as me, yet you still dare to wear a long robe, write with a piece of paper and speak nonsense? I think you are looking for death!"

Yuan Qiu was speechless. He just stared at Yuan Guo with a pair of eyes that almost burst out of anger.

Yuan Guo panted and walked back to Yuan Chun and said: "28 Sister, don't listen to that man's nonsense. He doesn't know anything about world affairs. Now the court is in decay, Li Qianshun is stupid and immoral, the people below are in dire straits, and the whole country is full of resentment. This summer Sooner or later the country will be over!"

Yuan Chun looked at him: "Villain, traitor, scum!"

Yuan Guo thought to himself and said: "The Song Dynasty is booming at the moment. The young master came with the will of God and the people's support, so he was able to defeat Gai Zhu and Zhuo Lu. In the near future, he will definitely ride on Xingqing Mansion and kill Li Qianshun with his sword. Change the world and create a prosperous era. I am seeking refuge with the Young Master just to leave a trace of incense for the Yuan family, and even to keep the bloodline of the Yuan family from being cut off. Otherwise, everything will be turned into powder and the name of the royal family will be reduced to nothing by the Young Master’s army in the future. Not to mention being smashed to pieces, even the Yuan family cannot be saved. I am just imitating the ancient families and the medieval families, preserving the bloodline and passing on the descendants. How can I betray my family and country? 28 Sister, those who know the current affairs are heroes. ah!"

Zhao Tong slowly opened his eyes on the chair. This Yuan Guo's eloquence was quite good, but it was a bit beyond his expectation.

Yuanchun was stunned for a while after hearing this. She was not old, and although she had not read many books, she could not fully understand what the other party meant. However, the rough argument seemed to make some sense. She couldn't help but open her mouth and thought I want to say something, but I don’t know where to start.

Yuan Guo saw that her expression turned slightly, and he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Sister 28, so I am not wrong. I did everything for the Yuan family. Now you are all captured by the young master. I don't care about those common men, but you, 28 Sister, are It's pitiful, but I see that the young master values ​​you, so why don't you just abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side?"

"Ah ah ah, you treasonous beast!" The old man yelled over there: "28 Don't listen to his fallacies and nonsense. He clearly has no good intentions and wants to trick you into a tiger's mouth. He has ulterior motives. You absolutely cannot agree!"

Hearing this, Yuan Guo was so angry that he walked over in two steps. He stretched out his hand and gave Yuan Dong a slap in the face: "Fourth Elder, you are seeking death!"

"Bah!" Yuan Dong opened his mouth and spat blood on Yuan Guo's face: "Yuan Shiyi, how can you be worthy of your parents, wife and children with your despicable behavior and shameless deeds? How can you be worthy of Concubine Jing, you beastly traitor? , I, I will fight with you!"

As he said that, he stretched out his neck to bite Yuan Guo, but even if he had martial arts, and he was not a miraculous power like the Sky Transformation that can stretch and change bones and tendons, he couldn't bite Yuan Guo, but Yuan Guo was so angry that he became angry. Then, he was punched all over his face.

Zhao Tong said calmly: "That's enough!"

Yuan Guo hurriedly retracted when he heard this, and while rubbing his wrist that was so painful from the shock of Yuan Dong's face, he said, "Yes, it's Young Master."

He walked out and said as he passed by Yuanchun: "Sister 28, think about it clearly. Don't worry about it now. I'll be back in two days. If you think about it, you can ask someone to call me."

Yuanchun was speechless and stared at him blankly. She didn't have an idea in her mind. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Although she had learned a lot of martial arts, she had few points in some major events, especially something like this that happened suddenly and caught people off guard. , let alone her, even some experienced veterans would have to think about it for a long time.

Seeing Yuan Guo come out, Zhao Tuo turned around and walked out. After leaving the military prison, Yuan Guo hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, how about... kidnap 28 directly to the prince's room?" Zhao Tuo frowned at him. : "What did Battalion Commander Liu say? I just think that Yuan Chun is extremely talented in martial arts and his arms and waist are very suitable for practicing marksmanship. However, it is almost a pity that your Yuan family has taught him nothing!"

"Huh?" Yuan Guo wondered, had he thought wrong?
He scratched his head. Are these 28 martial arts talented?Is it actually suitable for practicing marksmanship?By the way...does this evil king know how to shoot? Is he just pretending to be serious?
Next to Yongzhu County, at the foot of Xifeng Ridge, there was a sound of killing.

I saw a large apricot-yellow flag fluttering in the wind, edged with flame red, and the Chinese character Douda's history embroidered in the center.

One of his generals rides a white curly mane horse. He is tall, has a square face, and is colored like a silver basin. He wears a silver flying embroidered helmet, a rotten silver willow leaf armor, and a white silk plain floral war robe. The brocade is clustered like a ball. pear blossom.

He has a palm-width silver silk ribbon tied around his waist, a green-edged sword at his side, a precious carved bow on his back, an animal pot full of wolf-toothed arrows, and a bright silver spear in his hand. He is energetic and majestic. Who is it if it’s not Jiuwenlong!

Shi Jin had been holding on to Yongzhu County for a long time. He was anxious and worried that Xiliang Prefecture would come to support him, so he resorted to a rogue trick and had his soldiers scold their formation outside the city.

He said everything that was unpleasant, scolded, and hurtful, and he greeted all the eighteen generations of Yongzhu General's ancestors.

One day later, the guard couldn't bear it and led people out of the city, but he gathered under the city and did not go far.

Shi Jin couldn't figure it out. He was afraid that he would run back to the city when he rushed to kill the opponent, so he continued to insult him and ran away while cursing.

After doing this again and again, the guard actually chased him down, not knowing whether he was in a bad temper or left the city after drinking. Shi Jin was worried that he would wake up halfway, so he didn't dare to go too far, so he arrived at Xifeng. They stopped at the foot of the ridge.

This Xifengling is actually not far from the city gate, but at least there is a two or three arrows away, so it will take some time to turn back and return to the city.

At this time, Shi Jin ordered the team to turn around and stop running, while he held a gun and looked towards the opposite side.

The opponent had also stopped chasing at this moment, and saw only one of the leading Xixia generals, wearing a black iron helmet, a big bun straight under the shawl, black chain armor, sea blue arrow sleeves, and soft armor lining. , waist tied with a soap-colored silk ribbon, a pair of broom eyebrows, two bright yellow eyes, a long face with a slight beard, 35 or [-] years old, holding a mountain-cleaving sword.

Shi Jin reined in his horse and laughed and scolded: "You little bastard, why don't you continue to be a tortoise and hide in the city!"

The Xixia general was a little alert at this time. He looked around and saw that he only brought out [-] soldiers. There were only [-] left in the city. He felt a little panicked, but it was difficult to withdraw now. He relied on his own bravery and shouted: "Do you dare to fight me, Song Gou!"

Shi Jin sneered: "You are such a arrogant person. You don't know that you are about to die. How dare you say such arrogant words? Why don't you come and be killed!"

When the Xixia general heard this, he shouted: "Song dogs can't break their promises!" After saying that, he kicked his horse and rushed out of the formation.

Shi Jin was not willing to show weakness at this moment. He was in front of the two armies and the soldiers behind him were watching. How could he lose face? Besides, with his martial arts skills, how could he be afraid of this mere fighting general.

The two horses arrived at the center of the two armies in an instant, and the Xixia general slashed them with his sword.

Shi Jin raised the bright silver spear and opened the sword with a "clang" sound. Then he withdrew the steel spear, raised his hand, and fired three spears, brush, brush, and brush, as fast as the wind, straight to the Xixia general's throat.

"Gah, that's awesome!" The general hurriedly shook his head like an ox, and his head was swaying left and right in the gap between the gun points. He only heard a "stab" sound, and the last gun unexpectedly passed by his ear. The earring went out, a piece of flesh was torn off the helix, and blood flowed down the neck.

Shi Jin practiced martial arts at a young age and had a good foundation. Later, he became a disciple of Wang Jin. Wang Jin was the son of Wang Sheng, a famous master in Tokyo. He was also the gun and stick instructor of the 80-strong Forbidden Army. His instructor was different from Lin Chong. Although he also had no official rank, he had military rank. But it was one level higher than Lin Chong.

Wang Jin was best at using a stick, but later when he lived in Shijiazhuang, he combined his stick skills with his spear skills and created a new method of marksmanship, which he called the Lion's Head Spear.

Over the years, Shi Jin has been practicing this type of marksmanship in Longyou, and his martial arts have become more and more sophisticated, and he has perfected a bright silver spear.

The Xixia general never expected that he could have such good martial arts, and he thought that he was brave and underestimated the enemy. However, his ears hurt terribly, he was a little panicked inside, and his body felt cold. He thought to himself: This person is a bit powerful. But if he were defeated and returned to the formation at this moment, the opponent's soldiers would be chasing him all the way, and life and death would be at a disadvantage. I'm afraid the city would be lost!
When he thought of this, he gritted his teeth, regained his strength, and cursed: "Song Gou, don't try to show off!" Then he swung the big knife with both hands and made a nickel sound, and slashed the dragon in half.

Shi Jin calmly smashed away the sword with a "moon in his arms". The two of them were really fighting to the death this time. The swords and spears hit each other like lightning and thunder, and the soldiers on both sides cheered. It was a really fierce battle.

Five or six rounds passed in the blink of an eye. Shi Jin swung his spear, raised the opponent's sword out of the circle with a "click", and shouted: "Traitor, if I don't have a dragon-capturing hand, I won't dare to go to the East China Sea to see the gun!" After that! , it was a "white snake with spit" that shook out its spear and pointed it at the Xixia general, stabbing him when he was distracted.

The Xixia general hurriedly turned sideways to hide, but the spear missed him very dangerously. The Xixia general did not dare to be careless, and only watched the two weapons flying up and down. Shi Jin's spear was like a silver snake dancing wildly, and pear blossoms flying randomly. The wind was rustling, and after more than a dozen rounds of fighting, the general was so tired that he was panting and sweating profusely. He wondered how this Song general had such great abilities. His spear moves were like dragons, tigers, phoenixes, and apes. They were so varied that it was difficult to distinguish them!
At this point in the fight, Shi Jin felt a little embarrassed when he saw that the Xixia general had not been captured yet. Seeing the opponent's sword coming towards him, the cold wind was howling, and he eagerly raised his bright silver spear and pointed it upwards. The two weapons collided with each other and "choked". "Cang", then Shi Jin thrust a "silver spear under his sleeve" to the side, like a dragon emerging from water, as fast as lightning, hitting the Xixia general's right buttocks.

The general almost fell off his horse with a cry of pain. Knowing that he could no longer defeat him, he had no intention of fighting. He made a feint and fled on horseback.

Seeing this, Shi Jin was not willing to let go, and hurriedly ordered a chase. He saw the soldiers behind him all like tigers, shouting and swarming upwards, and the shouts of killing filled the entire field.

In an instant, swords and guns were slaughtered indiscriminately. Most of the 800 Xixia people were no match for them, and most of them were killed. Those who were lucky enough to survive had broken arms or legs, or were injured by arrows. The Xixia soldiers on horseback were knocked over by spears and arrows, and they dismounted. More than half of them were killed or wounded. Shi Jin's Tengjia soldiers and New Army cavalry were all newborn calves and were not afraid of tigers. They became more and more courageous as they fought. They killed the Xixia soldiers to the point of despair, with ghosts crying and wolves howling, and corpses scattered all over the field.

The Xixia general looked up to the sky in front and sighed, thinking to himself: It was all because of his arrogance that he could not bear the insults, so he ran out of the city. Now he is seeing defeat and the city will not be saved. It is really shameful to kill someone!

At this moment, Shi Jin led five hundred cavalry to catch up and shouted: "Thieves, stop leaving and take a shot!"

The Xixia general was immediately frightened out of his wits and slapped his horse. Unexpectedly, Shi Jin's horse was not weak to him. He chased him even more urgently. When he reached the edge in an instant, he heard Shi Jin shouting: "Death to the traitor!"

His shot was like lightning, piercing directly into the side of the Xixia general. The general immediately screamed and fell from his horse. He was already dead!

"My sons, all follow me!" Seeing that the general was dead, Shi Jin immediately gave the order and rushed directly towards the Yongjie city gate.

At this moment, there were only more than a hundred people left in Yongjie City. They were watching the death of the general at the top of the city. Not even a single soldier left the city. They had no intention of defending the city. They all ran into the city, or hid themselves, or found horses and rode on them. Other city gates fled in panic.

Shi Jin led the army and broke into the city after a while. He then searched Anmin and wrote a military report to Zhao Tan, reporting that Yongjie had been found.
