The old oath and alliance are like a dream

There are different teachings:

Time passes quickly, and the old vows and alliances are like a dream.

The steeds are neighing, the willows are moving in the smoke, and the beloved is smiling in the spring breeze.

Ladies and gentlemen, these few lines of limerick are written by none other than Sheng Gong Fangla’s beloved daughter Fang Jinzhi, and her mood on this day.

In mid-June of the seventh year of Zhenghe, Cao Cao took his two brothers, Li Kui and Luan Tingyu, to bid farewell to the brigade in Mangdang Mountain, and rushed to Baizhang Village, Yishui County, Yizhou, Shandong Province to pick up Li Kui's wife. On the way, they met by chance and met at Pengcheng County University in Xuzhou.

After making a scene, he got acquainted with Deng Yuanjue and other heroes.

Although the time between the two parties was short, Lao Cao's talents in both civil and military affairs, his calm demeanor in the face of danger, his heroic yet gentle demeanor, and even the sibling advantages he took advantage of when designing a deceptive city gate... are all deeply felt.

Engraved into a girl's heart.

When the two parties parted, Fang Jinzhi took the initiative to exchange swords, rode away with Old Cao Feidian, made an agreement with Jiangnan, and followed Deng Yuanjue and others back to his hometown. From then on, he only hoped that Cao Cao would fulfill his agreement.

The girl has a pure heart. Although she is the daughter of a wealthy man, she does not know the dangers and deceit of the world. There are endless scumbags——

She only said what Lao Cao said on the left: "After I have finished a few important matters at hand, I must go to Jiangnan to pay a visit to the Holy Duke." On the right: "Wu is by no means a person who breaks his word, and he will not let the girl wait in vain."

They all came from the bottom of my heart, so my heart and eyes were full of expectations, and I fought hard against Fang La's desire to find her in-laws.

Who is Fang La? After two troubles, he saw that his daughter already had a crush on him. He immediately remembered that Deng Yuanjue had previously reported that during his trip to the north, he met the famous "Wu Mengde" and received his great help. Then he thought about his daughter.

He rode back on a good horse and held the sword in his hand every day. He immediately knew that his daughter had fallen in love with "Wu Mengde" and was very unhappy.

Sure enough, after all the troops spent a long time trying, they could only burn a few pieces of bark black.

Last year, the imperial court sent people to discuss an alliance with the Kingdom of Jin, which was a secret move. Fang La and others were in Jianghu, and they only wondered that they had not heard about Cao Cao's actions in more than a year, and did not know that he went to the Northern Kingdom as an envoy.

So he gathered a group of female soldiers, and under the pretext of hunting to avoid his old father's eyes, he rushed out of Bangyuan Cave and spent the night at dawn, hoping to meet him on the road to Hangzhou.

Those Western troops were overjoyed, and those who were eager immediately took off their armor and clothes, and touched them with their hands. The captured women were so frightened that they cried loudly. The women on the mountain also cried loudly when they saw that their companions were about to be tortured like this.

Before he finished speaking, he heard several women chirping in his ears: "Don't be afraid, princess, look over there quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, Xin Xingzong strode over and kicked him so hard that he flew several feet away.

Ever since she heard that she had a husband in her heart, she said a lot of shameful things under the guise of "I don't know how easy it is to be in trouble". Otherwise, when she dreamed about Cao Cao, they would mostly drink together, ride horses, or travel around the mountains and rivers.

, or doing chivalry, how could you dream of these big and small ones?

Until a few days ago, Hangzhou sent a messenger to help Yuandong. They said it was Liangshan hero "Timely Rain" Song Jiang, leading a dozen brothers and hundreds of elite troops to come to Jiangnan to help in the battle. Fang Jinzhi happened to be on the spot and heard the word "Song Jiang"

Hearing this, he was stunned at first, then overjoyed, he jumped up and asked: "That Song Jiang is not tall, but he is majestic and majestic? The one who uses a branch as a weapon and carries a Qingluan sword with him?

Among the brothers around him, are there a man named Luan Tingyu? And a man as strong as a black bear turned into a spirit, named Li Kui and Li Tieniu?"

Li Tianyou was only two or three years older than Fang Tianding. They grew up in the same place. Fang Tianding was unwilling to pay attention to martial arts and was often beaten. Li Tianyou once comforted him: "If you don't want to learn, just don't learn. Wait until I master martial arts." To protect you, if anyone wants to bully you, kill me first."

Fang La was angry and anxious, so he had to negotiate with his daughter in person, and bluntly pointed out that people like Lao Cao would not take her as a little girl to heart. You miss me here every day, but she is romantic and happy. You are my Fang La My dear daughter, if you put your hot face against your cold butt, wouldn’t it mean that even my old face will be disgraced by you?

Fang Jinzhi naturally refused to believe it, but was provoked by her old father's words and made a bet: she would never take the initiative to find the other party. If the other party does not come for three years, it means that she really does not care about her, so she must honestly withdraw her thoughts and let her father choose. A good match is getting married.

Thinking about it more carefully, if according to the rules of the world, Song Jiang, who came to represent Liangshan, should be regarded as a peer of Fang La. However, when he met him, he refused to consider himself an elder and insisted on calling himself brother. He said that he was a heroic person. It turned out that I was trying to please my brother-in-law in advance!

She couldn't help but gradually panic. If Cao Cao really didn't do it, would she have listened to her father's request and married someone else?

In the past three years, she has thought about it every day and looked forward to it at night. The depth of her love is only more profound than three years ago. The love is so deep that it is hard to redeem it. How can it be said that it can be taken back by taking it back?

The soul of Xin Xingzong's personal soldier flew to the sky, and he quickly went to help him up. His mouth was full of blood, and his eyes were filled with fury and ferocious looks. He pulled out his personal sword and caught up with the previous sword. Li Tianyou gritted his teeth and groaned, and one of his right legs was struck by him. Cut off at knee level.

He originally thought that his daughter was pregnant when she accidentally met a luxurious man and fell in love with him. Unexpectedly, his wife and sister talked to Jin Zhi several times, and they all said that Fang Jinzhi was very affectionate and even waited for Lao Cao for several months without coming. I have given birth to the idea of ​​​​going to Shandong to find him.

But he can't let her go like this, otherwise if he attracts a large army, wouldn't it ruin his affairs? Let's just kill her in one fell swoop to avoid future troubles.

At this time, the sky was getting dark. Xin Xingzong knew that the longer the delay, the more likely things would go wrong. He became more and more anxious, so he had to think of another strategy.

The Western troops screamed in unison and climbed up on three sides. After Fang Jinzhi and others finished shooting arrows, they all cried and pulled out their daggers, slashing in all directions to prevent the Western troops from ascending the peak.

Fang Jinzhi was almost stupid with fright, but Fang Tianding burst into tears, pushed forward and knocked away Xin Xingzong, howling at the top of his lungs: "Don't come down, ignore him, he came here specially to catch me, and if he kills me, he will lose all the credit, he You must not dare to..."

At this time, he knew that the other party was not Fang Baihua, so he no longer wanted to capture him alive. There were Fang La's children on both sides. Obtaining Fang Tianding was already a great contribution. A mere daughter was just an addition, so there was no need to take risks.

The eighth year of Zhenghe, the first year of Xuanhe, the second year of Xuanhe...

Xin Xingzong didn't know what he looked like, so he immediately said angrily: "Xin killed countless bandits in Liangshan. Who remembers their appearance one by one? To tell you the truth, I killed Song Jiang because he confessed to it after the Liangshan bandits were captured. Otherwise, I, a great general of the imperial court, would still have to ask him the name of the bandit?"

If he really has no self in his heart and is just lying to others, is the daughter of a dignified saint allowed to be bullied? At least he must give him a sword with his own hands... At least a slap in the ear can end the unforgettable memories of the past three years. .

His kick was filled with hatred, and Xin Xingzong was completely unprepared. Even though he was wearing a dagger, his eyes were blackened from the kick. A dog fell down after snatching shit, and his two front teeth were instantly broken.

As time passed, he was only close to this sister in his heart. If he had any concerns, he would only tell her to her. At this moment, when he heard his sister crying, he suddenly thought of a possibility - oh, could it be that Song Jiang is actually the person my sister likes? Came under a pseudonym?

Li Tianyou was furious. He was heavily tied up, but his feet could move freely. He immediately knocked away the officers and soldiers around him, ran up, kicked Xin Xingzong hard on the back of the head.

However, the messenger had not met Lao Cao. It was Deng Yuanjue and others who met Cao Cao on Shibao Road and asked people to return to the city to report the news. Fang Tianding sent this confidant as a messenger to report the news to Yuandong, so Fang Jinzhi's I can't answer any of the questions.

So he secretly inquired about his idea. If Cao Cao didn't come, he would rather go back on his words and offend his father, but also go to Shandong to find him. He asked him face to face: "You came to Jiangnan after telling you some important things at hand. How could it be that you haven't done anything in three years?" Are you done with these things?"

Therefore, two generals, Fang Jie and Du Wei, were ordered to lead three thousand imperial troops to Hangzhou to welcome the heroes of Liangshan to meet in Muzhou.

Before he finished speaking, Xin Xingzong knocked him unconscious with the back of his sword. Fang Jinzhi only said that his younger brother had been killed by him. While crying, he took out his bow and arrow and shot Xin Xingzong. : "We have surrounded us and sent people to patrol around. This place is far away from the main road. No one will be able to find us for a while. I am exhausted with this group of women. I will starve them for two days and wait until she can't pull her away." When I draw the bow, it naturally cannot escape my hand."

However, the officers and soldiers behind were still chasing after them, and they heard a general ordering to shoot arrows. Then screams rang out one after another, and I felt great grief in my heart. I knew that the female soldier who had fallen behind had been poisoned. Fortunately, the forest was dense and there were many twists and turns. Although the army is good at shooting, aiming is not easy.

When Fang Jinzhi heard that Hangzhou had been captured, she was shocked and frightened - her younger brother was still in the hands of this person. Naturally, she did not doubt the lie and couldn't help but said: "Did you also capture the man named Song Jiang from Liangshan?"

Jin Zhi's cry faintly came down from the peak. Fang Tianding heard it and was very sad——

Fang Jinzhi felt relieved when she thought that Song Jiang might be Song Jiang, but when she thought that she was in a desperate situation, most likely dead or not, even if Cao Cao came to Jiangnan in the future, it would be difficult to find him, and she couldn't help but feel sad, and shed tears. , dropped like a disconnect.

Now he really died to protect him. Fang Tianding witnessed it with his own eyes. He was filled with grief and fear. He fell to the ground and urinated in his crotch.

Fang Jinzhi's heart trembled. At this time, he didn't care whether his sisters would betray him. He turned around and was about to jump into the river first. Fang ran two steps and was suddenly hugged tightly by several hands. Fang Jinzhi was shocked and cried. : "How could you treat me like this..."

When Xin Xingzong said this, he forced a smile and said with a smile: "Xin is a good person with the kindest heart. I think your father and brother are rebelling. How can you, a weak woman, know about it in the boudoir? So I have good intentions. , willing to leave a way for you to survive——

Amid the cries, Fang Jinzhi was heard shouting: "Sisters, Jinzhi is incompetent and has caused trouble to you. This debt will have to be repaid in the next life!"

But I heard him say gloomily: "Miss Fang, you may not know that our 150,000 elite Western Army went south, moving like thunder, and recaptured Hangzhou a few days ago. Your family's Fang Qifu and other bandit leaders were either killed or After being captured, now we are in harmony, and the nest of thieves will be recaptured in a blink of an eye. If they react, none of the thieves will be able to escape, but..."

Fang Jinzhi slashed several times but was dodged. She felt increasingly weak. At this time, she calmed down and said hoarsely: "Sisters, I would rather die than be humiliated. Don't be afraid. Follow me to get rich." Jumping in the spring river."

They sneaked out of Bangyuan Cave in the name of hunting, but everyone brought bows and arrows, and these women followed Fang Jinzhi in the Whistling Mountains every day. Although they were not proficient in riding skills, they were good at bows and arrows, and they occupied a commanding position. The terrain was indiscriminately shot, and seven or eight of the Western troops were killed. The rest were frightened and retreated.

Seeing that the three-year bet was going to expire in a few months, even Fang Jinzhi himself couldn't believe that Cao Cao would come to Jiangnan before the expiration.

Xin Xingzong kicked away several officers and soldiers who were suppressing Li Tianyou. Without saying a word, he slashed randomly with his knife, cutting off both legs and both arms of Li Tianyou.

Li Tianyou tried to hold on at first, but when he cut his arm, he couldn't hold it back anymore. He screamed in pain and yelled: "Come on, come on. Grandpa is waiting for you on Huangquan Road. My brother is Li Tianrun." Generalissimo, he will cut you into pieces to avenge me!"

Xin Xingzong couldn't help but wonder: Fang La's children are so worthless, has this little girl been frightened crazy by my few words?

Seeing that he was sure, Fang Jinzhi immediately trembled even more violently, shook his head and said: "No, no, how could a hero like him be killed by you so easily! Ah, I see, it turns out that he is really here this time. The only one is Song Jiang himself..."

He and Fang Jinzhi have a very deep brother-sister relationship, and Fang La has always been strict with him. From a young age, if he did anything unsatisfactory, he would be beaten. Therefore, he was terrified when he saw Fang La, and even looked at Fang Qifu and others. , because these people will tell Fang La about his words and deeds.

He arrived not long after, and hurriedly called the girls to dismount, took their bows and arrows, and climbed up the peak hand and foot. Although the area above the peak was only three to four feet, she felt it was spacious for more than ten girls.

Fang Jinzhi was stunned and looked subconsciously, only to see in the dense forest in the northwest corner, the officers and soldiers were retreating like a tide. Hundreds of elite soldiers were killing them like wolves and tigers. Then, a voice that had only sounded in his dreams for several years suddenly sounded. , his voice boomed, almost resounding throughout the valley: "Don't be afraid, Miss Jinzhi, Wu will come to Jiangnan to see you!"

Before he could catch his breath, the pursuers had already arrived, and they surrounded the small peak. Without the need for the general to call, hundreds of people dismounted first, holding short knives in their mouths, and climbed up. Fang Jinzhi gritted his teeth and shouted: "Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow, shoot to death." Kill them and avenge the sisters."

With red eyes, she gritted her silver teeth, drew her bowstring, and shot four arrows in a row, killing all the four captives at the foot of the mountain.

After scolding Fang Jinzhi, Fang La thought to himself: Although Liangshan and Wu Zhi are closely related, it is a matter behind the scenes after all. On the surface, Liangshan is still the only big force in the world that can rival the Mingjiao. Now that he has come from thousands of miles away to help, his face has indeed gained a lot of glory. Regardless of whether there is Wu Zhi's intention in it, he must treat him seriously.

Li Tianyou laughed wildly and said: "The eldest prince, Princess Jinzhi, I will vent my anger on you in the future!" He started to kick again, but several officers and soldiers rushed towards him and pinned him down.

With a sneer, he immediately ordered people to set fire to the peak - the peak was densely covered with vines and bushes. Once it burned, it would be a pillar of fire reaching the sky. If the people on top did not want to be burned to death, they would have no choice but to jump into the river.

"Liangshan Songjiang?"

cut."

Xin Xingzong didn't expect that she actually had such shooting skills. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back and asked several sergeants to protect him with shields. Only then did he feel relieved.

Fang La really loved his daughter and wanted to find a kind and honest man who could take care of his daughter for the rest of her life. He never wanted her to marry an unpredictable hero, so he asked his wife and sister Fang Baihua to find Jin Zhi.

Talking heart to heart, wanting to cut off the strand of love in her heart.

Only Fang Jinzhi, whenever she saw him being beaten since childhood, would rush forward to protect her, crying and shouting: "Don't hit your brother, don't hit my brother." Fang La loved his daughter and would often let him go.

Fang Jinzhi finally calmed down from the shock. When he counted the number of people, he saw that it had been broken into half, and he couldn't help crying.

For a moment, he didn't care about much and shouted loudly: "Sister, don't cry. When I left, Song Jiang led the troops to rescue Uncle Qifu. There are many good men around him and he is very safe. This man named Xin, although he has the ability to capture me,

How can I deal with Song Jiang..."

Spring breeze, summer rain, autumn moon and winter snow, unknowingly, the passing of time changes, and the girl's mind gradually becomes heavier with the passage of time.

It was not because Lao Cao had no family, but because Liang Shan was interrogating officials in Jiangzhou and beheaded Cai Jiu, which caused a sensation in the world. However, Li Kui let it slip in front of Shi Bao and others, claiming that it was all Lao Cao's fault.

Cao Yili presided over it. Shi Bao and others only thought that Lao Cao was a hero who didn't care about fame and fortune. However, Fang La read something else and secretly thought: This person has only become famous in one or two years. If he really doesn't have a good reputation, how can he become famous?

Is it so easy? He has one foot in the officialdom and one foot in the middle of the strong men in Liangshan. This is the posture of a hero. What this person has in mind must not be trivial.

Fang Jinzhi was shocked and angry, and said in a trembling voice: "Nonsense, you can kill him! What do you think he looks like?"

On this day, I couldn't help feeling lovesick, and I secretly thought: This bad guy must have come to Jiangnan, and because of his status as an official, he also borrowed Song Jiang's name. If not, how could I keep dreaming of him?
