Outsmarting the Birthday Plan
[Author] Shi Naian
It is said that at that time Gongsun Sheng was in the pavilion and told Chao Gai that the Beijing Birthday Plan was unjust. What's wrong with getting the wealth? I saw a man rushing in from the outside. He grabbed Gongsun Sheng and said, "You are so bold! I already know everything we discussed." That man was Wu Yong, a wise man. Chao Gai said with a smile: "Professor, don't panic, please meet me." After the two of them recited their greetings, Wu Yong said: "I have heard for a long time in the rivers and lakes that people say that Yunlong Gongsun wins the Qing Dynasty. I didn't expect to meet here today!" Chao Gai said He said: "This scholar, Mr. Wu Yong, is a man of wisdom and star." Gongsun Sheng said: "I heard that many people in the world have said that Mr. Jia Liang is famous, but I didn't know that fate was found in Baozhengzhuang. It's just about protecting integrity, sparing money and being righteous. , All the heroes in the world are here." Chao Gai said, "If there are a few more acquaintances inside, please go into the back hall and meet us."
The three of them entered. Met Liu Tang and San Ruan. Exactly:
There is a foundation for hidden troubles in gold and silk, and there is no hope for the gathering of heroes.
For a while, the heroes bullied the yellow house, and the light of Qisu moved the crape myrtle.
Everyone said: "Today's meeting is not accidental. Please ask Brother Baozheng to sit in front of you." Chao Gai said: "Young man Liang is a poor master, how dare you take advantage of him?" "Come on!" Wu Yong said: "Brother Baozheng is older, please take a seat." Chao Gai had to sit in the first place, Wu Yong took the second place, Gongsun Sheng took the third place, and Liu Tang took the seat. In the fourth place, Ruan Xiaoer took the fifth place, Ruan Xiaowu took the sixth place, and Ruan Xiaoqi took the seventh place. But then they gathered together to drink, reorganized the cups and plates, prepared wine and food, and everyone drank. Wu Yongdao said: "Baozheng dreamed that the Big Dipper fell on the roof. Today, seven of us gathered together to carry out a cause. Shouldn't the sky bow down to the elephant! This set of wealth can be easily obtained. As mentioned the day before yesterday, Brother Yang Liu went to find out where the journey was. Come on, it's late today. Please come early." Gongsun Sheng said, "There's no need to go there. I've already inquired about the way he came. It's just up Huangnigang Road." Chao Gai said. : "Ten miles east of Huangnigang, in a place called Anle Village, there was an idle man named Bairi Shu Bai Sheng. He also came to seek refuge with me. I helped him get through." Wu Yong said: "The white light on the Beidou should be here." People? They have other uses." Liu Tang said: "Huangnigang is far away, where can we stay?" Wu Yong said: "This is the only place where we can live, and we also need Bai Sheng." Said: "Mr. Wu, we are still taking softly, but are we taking hard?" Wu Yong said with a smile: "I have arranged a trap, just depends on the situation when he comes, I will take it with strength, and I will take it with wisdom. I have A strategy, I wonder if it suits you? So,
So..." Chao Gai was overjoyed after hearing this. He stepped on his feet and said, "What a clever plan! It's not in vain to call you a wise man! You are indeed better than Zhuge Liang! What a good plan!" Wu Yong said: "Don't mention it again. As the saying goes: 'The partition wall must have ears, and there will be no one outside the window.' But you know that I know." Chao Gai said: "Please come back to the three brothers of the Ruan family and come to the village for a gathering. Mr. Wu will still go to teach on his own; Mr. Gongsun and Liu Tang will only stay in our village until late that day. , each went to the guest room to rest. The next day at five o'clock, Chao Gai got up and arranged for breakfast. Chao Gai took out thirty taels of silver and gave it to the three Ruan brothers, saying: "Power shows little intention, don't turn it away." San Ruan was willing to accept it. Wu Yong said: "Friends' wishes cannot be hindered." San Ruan just received the silver. They were sent out of the village together, and Wu Yong whispered in his ear: "This and this, don't make any mistakes when the time comes." San Ruan said goodbye and went back to Shijie Village. Chao Gai kept Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang in the village, and Wu Xuexue often came to discuss matters. Exactly:
Anyone who takes something from someone other than someone who has an official is a thief, and someone who loses his surplus is a public thief.
The plan is to just wait and see, and laugh at the fact that his treasure is gone in such a hurry.
Let’s stop talking, but say that Liang Taishu, a famous man in Beijing, bought 100,000 coins to celebrate his birthday. Mr. Liang Zhongshu said: "The gifts are all ready and I will use them tomorrow. It's just one thing that I'm still undecided about." Mrs. Cai said, "What's the matter that's undecided?" Said: "Last year, I spent a hundred thousand guan to buy gold, jewelry, and shells and sent them to Tokyo. Because I couldn't find anyone, I was robbed by thieves on the way. So far, I haven't found anything. This year, I saw that there are no more troubles in front of the account. Go, hesitating here." Mrs. Cai pointed to the steps and said, "You often say that this person is very good, why not take him with him and send him away for a while, so as not to make any mistakes." Liang Zhongshu looked at the steps. That person was actually the green-faced beast Yang Zhi. Liang Zhongshu was overjoyed, and immediately called Yang Zhi to the hall and said, "I just forgot about you. If you send me the birthday card with me, I will have a way to praise you." Yang Zhi crossed his hands and said forward: "I have sent you so kindly. Don't dare to disobey! I just don't know how to prepare it? When will you get up?" Liang Zhong wrote: "There are ten Taiping cars in front of the tent, with a yellow flag on each car. "Congratulations to the Grand Master on his birthday." If you send a military officer to follow each car, you will have to get up and go within three days. "Go away." Liang Zhong wrote: "I am determined to promote you. There is another letter in the letter dedicated to the birthday. The grand master is here to protect you from the Taoist order. How can you refuse to go? "Yang Zhidao: "Thank you, I heard that I was robbed by thieves last year, but I haven't recovered it yet. There are many thieves on the way to Tokyo this year, and there is no waterway, so it is all dry.
They passed through Zijin Mountain, Erlong Mountain, Taohua Mountain, Uggai Mountain, Huangnigang, Baishawu, Yeyundu, and Chisonglin, all of which were haunted by strongmen. Even the single guest did not dare to pass by alone. He knew it was gold and silver treasures, so why not rob them? You have lost your life in vain, and you can't get rid of it. "Liang Zhong wrote: "When the enemy died, many military academies were sent to protect them. Yang Zhidao said, "I sent five hundred people there, but it didn't help." When these guys heard that the strongman was coming, they all left first. Liang Zhongshu said: "When you say this, don't you want to send the birthday card?" Yang Zhi said again: "If you do something for me, I dare to send it." Liang Zhongshu said: "I have entrusted it to you. "Why don't you follow your advice?" Yang Zhidao said, "If I follow the villain's advice, I don't need a car, but I'll put all the gifts into more than ten burdens, and only order ten strong soldiers to dress up the guests." The porter only needs to go there alone, but he can dress up as a guest and go to Tokyo to deliver it quietly at night. "Liang Zhongshu said: "What you said is true. I wrote a letter to ensure that you receive the order. Come back." Yang Zhi said: "Thank you very much for your kindness." That day, he asked Yang Zhi to tie the legs and select the soldiers.
The next day, Yang Zhi was called to wait in front of the hall. Liang Zhongshu came out of the hall and asked, "Yang Zhi, when will you get up?" Liang Zhong wrote: "Madam also has a load of gifts for the family members in the mansion, and I want you to receive them. I am afraid that you will not know where to go, so I specially teach Nai Gong Xie Du Guan, and two Yuhou, and you." Let's go together." Yang Zhi said, "Thank you, Yang Zhi can't go." Liang Zhongshu said, "The gifts are all tied up, so why can't we go?" Yang Zhi said, "These ten loads of gifts are all on the villain." , and all the others are under the supervision of Yang Zhi. If they want to go early, they will go early, if they want to go late, they will go late, if they want to stay, they will stay, if they want to rest, they will rest. Let Yuhou go with the villain. He is a wife's servant and a nanny of the Taishi Mansion. If he gets into trouble with the villain on the way, how can Yang Zhi dare to argue with him if he misses an important event? "How to tell the difference?" Liang Zhongshu said: "This is easy, I will ask the three of them to listen to you." Yang Zhi replied: "If you are so generous, I will accept the punishment if there is any mistake." , I am willing to be punished as a serious crime." Liang Zhongshu said happily: "It is not in vain that I commend you, you are really wise!" Then he called Lao Xie, the governor, and the two Yuhous to come out, and said in charge: "Yang Zhiti is willing. He handed over a piece of collar, a birth date, and eleven loads of gold, jewelry, and shells to the imperial palace in Beijing for delivery. The three of you went with him, getting up early, traveling late, and resting all along the way. You must listen to his words and don't argue with him. The three of you will take care of your duties and be careful. It would be a mistake to leave school early." The old governor agreed one by one. Yang Zhi received it that day. He got up early the next day at five o'clock and placed all the burdens in front of the hall. The old governor and the two Yuhou took another small load of money and silk, and then picked up eleven more. A strong Xiang Forbidden Army, all dressed as porters. Yang Zhi put on a cool hat, a green gauze shirt, lace walking shoes, a waist knife across the mouth, and a simple knife with a belt; the old governor also dressed up as a guest; the two Yuhou pretended to be the follower Accompany you. Everyone took a simple knife and a few canes. Liang Zhongshu handed over the letter, and everyone was full, and they bid farewell to Liang Zhongshu in the hall. Look at the soldier setting off with the battle. Yang Zhi, Xie Duguan, and two Yu Hou were in custody. A group of fifteen people left Liang Mansion, went out of the gate of Beijing, and took the main road to Tokyo. (There are no textbooks for this section.) It was the middle of May. Although it was sunny, it was very hot and difficult to walk. In the past, there was an eight-line poem written by King Wu Qi:
The jade screen is surrounded by red lanterns, and there are clusters of swimming fish playing with algae.
The mat is covered with eight feet of white shrimp whiskers, and a red agate is placed on the head.
The six dragons were afraid of the heat and did not dare to go. The sea water boiled Penglai Island.
Young master still feels that the power of the fan is weak, and the pedestrian is on the road of mortals.
These eight lines of poetry are about the hot summer months. The princes, princes and grandsons are soaking melons and plums in the water pavilion of the pavilion, and mixing ice and snow lotus roots to escape the summer heat. They still feel too hot; how do they know that the guests are a little warm? Fame is small and profitable, and there are no shackles to bind you. During the period of three months, you have to walk on the road. Today (there is no textbook for this section), Yang Zhi and his group were born on June 15th, so they had to walk on the road. Since I have been away from Beijing for five or seven days, all I have to do is wake up at the fifth watch, go as early as possible when it's cool, and rest when it's hot in the middle of the day. After five or seven days, there were fewer and fewer people, and few travelers. Every stop was a mountain road. Yang Zhi asked Chen Pai to stand up, and Shen Shi rested. The burdens of the eleven Imperial Guards were so heavy that none of them were lighter. The weather was too hot and they couldn't walk, so they had to rest when they saw the woods. Yang Zhi hurriedly urged him to go. If he stopped, he would be scolded or beaten with canes to force him to go. Although the two Yu Hous only carried some parcels and luggage, they were out of breath and could not walk. Yang Zhi also said angrily: "You two are so ignorant! This relationship must be mine! If you don't beat this wife for the Sa family, you are slowly beating him behind his back. This is not a joke!" Yu Hou said: "It's not that the two of us have to walk slowly. In fact, we can't walk when it's hot, so we're lagging behind. The day before yesterday, we just took advantage of the cool weather to walk, but now we have to walk in the heat? It's just uneven!" Yang Zhidao: "You talk like this, but It seems like a fart! We must have walked on good ground the day before, but now we are in an awkward place. If we don't rush there in the morning, who would dare to leave in the middle of the night?" The two Yuhou said nothing, thinking in their hearts: "This guy is not worth it. Then he scolded people!"
Yang Zhi picked up the pō knife and the cane and went to catch the load.
The two Yu Hous were sitting under the willow shade tree, waiting for the elders to come. The two Yu Hous told them, "The Yang family guy who was raped and killed was just a subordinate of my husband's family! How can he be the boss like this!" Channel: "My husband must tell me face to face, 'Don't argue with him,' so I won't say anything. I can't even see him for the past two days. I have to bear with him." The two Yuhou said: "My husband is just a human being. It's up to you to talk about love." The old man said again: "Just wait for a while." When we arrived at Shenpai, we found a hotel to rest. The eleven Forbidden Army soldiers were sweating heavily, and they all sighed and boasted, and said to the old governor: "We were unfortunately sent out because we were sent out because we were in the army. In such a hot weather and carrying a heavy burden, these two If you don't choose to go out early in the morning, you will be beaten with canes at every turn. We are just like ordinary parents, and we are suffering!" The old man said: "Don't complain, I will reward you when I get to Tokyo. "The soldiers said, "If Siduguan treats us, he won't complain." Another night passed. The next day it was still dark and everyone had to get up while it was cold. Yang Zhi jumped up and shouted: "Go there! Stay asleep, but pay attention!" The soldiers said: "If you don't leave before it's too late, you can't leave when the sun is hot, but you beat us!" Yang Zhi cursed: "You guys save ( xǐng) "What are you getting?" He took the cane and wanted to beat him. The troops swallowed their anger and had no choice but to sleep. That day, until Chen Pai time, we slowly lit the fire, had dinner and left. They were beaten along the way and were not allowed to rest in the shade. The eleven Imperial Guards murmured with dissatisfaction. The two Yuhou chattered in front of the old governor. The old man ignored him and didn't pay attention, feeling annoyed with him in his heart.
Stop talking. It seemed that after traveling for fourteen or five days, none of the fourteen people complained about Yang Zhi. It was Chenpai time in the inn that day, so I slowly lit the fire and had breakfast. It was the fourth day of June, the weather had not reached noon, there was a red sun, there were no clouds at all, and it was actually very hot. There are eight lines of poetry from the ancients:
Zhu Rong comes from the south to whip the fire dragon, and the fire flag burns the sky red.
The sun's disk does not move away at noon, and all nations are like in a red furnace.
The green stems of the Five Mountains are extinguished and the clouds are gone, and the waves on the seabed of Yanghou are exhausted.
How could the golden wind rise overnight and sweep away the heat in the world for me? (There are no textbooks for this section.) The road we traveled that day was all through remote and rugged mountains and trails, covering the southern mountains and northern ridges, but we supervised the eleven soldiers and traveled more than twenty miles. The soldiers thought about going to rest under the willow shade tree, but Yang Zhi hit them with a cane and shouted: "Quickly go! I'll teach you to rest early!" When the soldiers looked at that day, there were no clouds in the surroundings, and it was extremely hot at that time. when. But see:
The heat is steaming and the dust is blowing against your face. Thousands of miles of heaven and earth are like a steamer, and there is a fire umbrella on the same day. There are no clouds in the surrounding fields, the wind is still and the trees are burning along the creek; thousands of mountains are burning with flames,? Peeling stones and cracking ashes fly away. The birds in the air are about to die and fall into the depths of the woods; the fish and dragons under the water shed their scales and horns and burrow straight into the mud cellar. Directly teach the stone tiger to pant endlessly, which is the iron man's beard and sweat. At that time (there is no textbook for this section) Yang Zhi urged a group of people to go on a remote road in the mountains. Look at the sunset at noon. The rocks are so hot that my feet hurt and I can't walk. The soldiers said: "The weather is so hot, wù dì will kill people if you don't do it!" Yang Zhi shouted to the soldiers: "Quickly go! Go through the hillock in front, but don't pay attention to it."
< p> As we were walking, we faced the hillock in front of us. When everyone looked at the hillock, they saw:Tens of thousands of green trees on the top, with yellow sand at their roots. Saga looks like an old dragon, steep but can hear the sound of wind and rain. The thatched grass on the mountainside is covered with swords and guns; the ground is covered with stones, and two rows of tigers and leopards sleep there. The road to Xichuan and Shu is dangerous. Please note that this is the Taihang Mountains.
At that time (there is no textbook for this section) a group of fifteen people rushed up to Gangzi. After resting their burdens, the eleven men went to sleep under the pine trees. Yang Zhi said: "It's bitter! What a place to go, but you are here to rest and cool down! Get up and leave quickly!" The soldiers said: "You can cut me into seven or eight pieces, but I won't be able to go!" Yang Zhi picked up the The cane was struck head and head. The beating made one get up and the other fall asleep. Yang Zhi was helpless. I saw two men, Yu Hou and Lao Du, who were short of breath and sat down under the pine tree on the hill to catch their breath. Seeing Yang Zhi beating that soldier, the old man took charge of it and said: "Tiha! It's too hot to leave! Don't see his crime!" Yang Zhi said: "You don't care, you don't know. This is where strong men hang out. The name of the place is Huangnigang. During the quiet time, people come out to rob people in the daytime. Who dares to stop here?" After hearing what Yang Zhi said, the two Yuhou said: "I see you. I have said this several times, just to scare people!" The old man said: "How about telling them to take a break and skip the day trip?" Yang Zhidao: "You don't know what to do here? Go to Gangzi, there is no one home for seven or eight miles, there is no place to go to rest here!" The old man said: "I'll sit down and go, you go and drive them away." Yang Zhi took the vine. Tiao shouted: "Anyone who doesn't leave will get twenty sticks from me!" All the soldiers shouted to the generals. One of them said: "Tiha, we are carrying a hundred kilograms of burden, but we can't carry it empty-handed as you. You don't treat me as a human being! Even when the left-behind husband comes to jail, let us say a word. Hello. Don't care! Just show off!" Yang Zhi scolded: "This beast won't beat me to death!" He picked up the cane and hit him in the face. The old Du Guan shouted: "Yang Tiha, stay here, listen to me! When I was working as a nanny in the Grand Master's Mansion in Tokyo, the officers and soldiers under my sect saw Wu Qianwuwan, and they all squeaked at me.
It’s not that I’m being shallow. I think you are a soldier who has suffered death. You are pitiful to me. I am promoting you to the position of governor, which is comparable to an official position the size of a mustard seed. You are worthy of showing off your talents! Don't say that I am in charge of your husband's family. Even an old man in the village can follow my advice! What a treat if you just beat them up! Yang Zhidao: "Guan Guan, you must be from the city and grow up in the prime minister's mansion, where you know all the difficulties on the road!" "The old capital said: "I have been to Sichuan and Guangdong and Guangxi, but I have never seen you showing off like this! Yang Zhidao said: "Now is no different than in peacetime." Du Tuo said: "You should have your mouth and tongue cut out for saying this!" Why is the world so unstable today? "
Yang Zhi was about to reply when he saw a figure in the pine forest opposite, relaxing his head and looking around. Yang Zhi said: "What did I say? It's not that bad guys are coming! "Leave the cane behind, took the simple knife, rushed into the pine forest, and shouted: "You are so bold, how dare you look at my goods! "Exactly: Talking about ghosts will attract ghosts, talking about thieves will attract thieves. But they are a family, and they can't recognize each other. When Yang Zhi (no textbook for this section) came to see it, he saw seven Jiangzhou cars lined up in the pine forest. Six people took off their clothes and were enjoying the cool weather. Seeing Yang Zhi rushing in, the seven men shouted in unison: "Hey!" "They all jumped up. Yang Zhi shouted: "Who are you waiting for? The seven people said: "Who are you?" Yang Zhi asked again: "Are you a bad person?" The seven people said: "You asked upside down!" I am a small broker, there is money for you! Yang Zhidao: "You are waiting for a small-time agent, but I have a big capital!" The seven people asked: "Who are you looking after?" Yang Zhidao said, "Where are the people from?" The seven men said: "My seven brothers are from Haozhou, selling dates to Tokyo. We passed here on the way, and heard many people say that thieves often rob merchants on Huangnigang here." As I was walking away, I said to myself: "The seven of us only have dates and no other valuables." Just look after Gangzi. ’ When we get to Gangzi, we can’t bear the heat, so we should rest in the forest until the evening cools down. We heard that someone was coming to Gangzi. We were afraid that it was a gangster, so we asked this brother to come out and take a look. Yang Zhidao: "So that's it, he's just an ordinary guest." But I just saw you peeking in. I was worried that you were a bad person, so I came to take a look. "The seven people said: "Your Majesty, I'd like to invite you some dates. Yang Zhidao: "No need." "I picked up the plain knife and came back to the shoulder.
The old man said: "Since there is a thief, let's go and get some rest! "Yang Zhi said: "I only thought he was a bad person. It turned out to be a few customers selling dates. The old man said goodbye to the soldiers: "It seems that when you just said that, they were all dead!" Yang Zhidao: "There is no need to make trouble; as long as nothing happens, it will be fine." You guys take a rest and go when it gets cooler. "All the soldiers laughed. Yang Zhi also stuck his knife on the ground and went to sit under a tree to rest.
When there was not half a bowl of rice, he saw a man in the distance carrying a A pair of carrying buckets came up to the hillside and sang:
"The red sun is scorching like fire, and the fields and rice are half withered.
The farmer’s heart is like boiling water, and the princes and grandsons are shaking their fans! "
The man was singing as he walked up the hill. He rested his bucket in the pine forest and sat on the ground to enjoy the cool air. When the soldiers saw it, they asked the man, "What is in your bucket?" The man responded: "It's white wine." "The soldiers said: "Where should we go? The man said: "Pick them to the village and sell them." The soldiers asked: "How much does a barrel cost?" The man said: "Five strings are enough money." "The troops discussed: "We are hot and thirsty, why not buy something to eat? It also relieves summer heat. "While collecting money there, Yang Zhi saw him and shouted: "What are you doing again? "The soldiers said: "Buy a bowl of wine to eat. Yang Zhi turned the knife pole and beat him, scolding: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense, and you have to buy wine and eat!" So bold! "The soldiers said: "It's nothing, but there's chaos again! We pooled our own money to buy wine and food, what happened? Come and beat people too! "Yang Zhidao: "You are a village bird, what do you care about! Come here just to eat! Little did he know how difficult the journey would be! How many heroes have been numbed by sweat and drug! "
The man picking up the wine looked at Yang Zhi and sneered: "You are such a ignorant guest! I didn't want to sell it to you, but I said such weak words! "
While they were making a fuss and arguing by the pine tree, they saw a group of customers selling dates in the pine forest opposite. They all came out with simple knives and asked: "What are you making a fuss about?" The man picking up the wine said, "I picked up this wine myself and sold it in Gangzi Village. I'll take a rest here when it's hot." They wanted to buy some food from me, but I didn't sell it to them. The guest officer asked me if there was any sweat medicine in my wine. Is it funny? Say something like this! The seven guests said: "Bah!" I just thought someone bad was coming out, so that's what happened. It doesn't matter if I say a word. We were looking for wine to quench our thirst. Since they were suspicious, they sold us a barrel to eat. The wine picker said: "Not for sale!" Not for sale! "The seven guests said: "You are a stupid guy and you don't know anything! We must never talk about you. You and I will go to the village to sell them. I usually pay you back and then sell some to us. Why doesn't it matter? Seeing that you were so dishonest, you gave away the tea soup, which saved us from thirst again. The man who picked up the wine said, "I have no objection to selling you a barrel. It's just that they said it was bad." There was no bowl or ladle to scoop out. The seven people said: "You are so serious!" Then he said, "Why don't you fight?" We have our own coconut scoop here. "I saw two guests going to the car and taking out two coconut ladles, and one of them brought out a large handful of dates. Seven people stood by the bucket, opened the lid, and took turns scooping up the wine and eating the dates. In no time, all the barrel of wine was consumed.
The seven guests said, "Didn't I ask you how much the price is?" The man said, "I won't say the price once you get it. Five guans are enough for a bucket, and ten guans for a load." The seven guests said, "Five guans are enough." You only have one gourd for us." The man said, "No, we'll pay the price!" A customer then opened the lid of the bucket, took a gourd, and took it. Just eat. When the man went to seize it, the guest took half a ladle of wine in his hand, looked into the pine forest, and left. The man is about to leave. I saw a guest here walking out of the pine forest, holding a ladle in his hand, and came to scoop a ladle of wine into the bucket. When the man saw it, he grabbed it with his hands, looked at the bucket and tilted it, then put the lid on the bucket, looked at the ground and threw the ladle down, saying: "You are such an ungentleman guest! The same goes for people who wear their head and face." Luo Si!"
When the pair of soldiers saw it, they felt itchy and wanted to eat it. One of them looked at the old man and said: "Grandpa, tell us what to do! The customer of Zaozi bought him a bucket and ate it, so we randomly bought him a bucket to soothe our throats. Actually, we are thirsty and there is nothing we can do; there is no place to ask for water here, sir! After seeing what the soldiers said, Guan wanted to eat more in his heart, so he came to Yang Zhi and said: "The date seller has bought him a barrel of wine to eat, and he only has this barrel, so he randomly taught them to buy some food to escape the heat. There is no place to ask for water on the top of the bucket." Yang Zhi thought: "I saw from a distance that all the guys bought his wine and ate it, and I saw half a scoop of it in the bucket. I thought it was good. I left them alone for half a day and allowed him to buy a bowl of food. Yang Zhidao said, "Since the boss has said it, I will teach these guys to buy food and get up." After hearing this, Zhong Junjian collected five pieces of money. , come to buy wine and eat. The man selling the wine said: "I won't sell it anymore! I won't sell it anymore! There is sweat medicine in this wine!" The soldiers laughed together and said, "Brother, if it's worth it, why don't you return the favor?" The man said, "I won't sell it anymore. ! Stop messing with me!" The date seller advised: "You are a bad guy, but you are too serious, and it is none of his business to bother us. Sell ??it to everyone to eat." The man said, "What are you doing to make others suspicious?" The date seller pushed the wine seller aside and just took the barrel of wine to the soldiers to eat. The soldier opened the lid of the bucket and scooped out some food. He was careful and asked the guest to borrow the coconut scoop. The guests said: "I will give you these dates to have a drink with you." The soldiers thanked them: "What's the point!" The guests said: "Don't thank each other, they are just ordinary guests, why fight over these hundred dates? ?" The troops thanked each other. They first took two ladles and asked Laodu Guan to take one ladle and Yang Tiha to take one ladle. Who would Yang Zhi be willing to eat? Lao Duguan took a scoop first, and the two Yuhou each took a scoop. As soon as all the soldiers came forward, the barrel of wine was immediately consumed. Yang Zhi saw that everyone had nothing to eat, so he didn't eat at all. Firstly, the weather was very hot, and secondly, he was very thirsty. He only ate half of it and ate several dates. The man who sold the wine said, "This barrel of wine was eaten by the guest. You are missing some wine, so I will spare you half of your money." All the soldiers pooled their money to pay him back. The man collected the money, picked up the empty bucket, still sang folk songs, and went down to Gangzi.
The seven customers selling dates stood beside the pine tree, pointing at the fifteen people and saying: "That's right! That's wrong!" I saw that these fifteen people were top-heavy and looked at each other. Look, they all fell down. The seven guests pushed out the seven Jiangzhou carts from the pine forest, threw the dates on the carts on the ground, loaded the eleven loads of gold and jewelery shells into the carts, covered them, and shouted: "Noise!" Wang Nigang was pushed down. Exactly:
Asking for anointing and blood to celebrate birthdays, regardless of people's livelihood and dead neighbors.
Shi Xin has always been prone to robberies, and there must be a reason for his bad intentions.
(There is no textbook for this paragraph) Yang Zhi just complained, his body was weak and he could not struggle. The fifteen people watched helplessly as the seven people put the treasure in, but they couldn't get up, couldn't move, and couldn't explain.
Let me ask you: Who are these seven people holding? It was none other than Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang, and San Ruan. But the man who picked up the wine was Bai Sheng, the rat in the sun. But how to use medicine? It turns out that when I picked up the wine, both barrels were good wine. The seven people ate a bucket first. Liu Tang lifted the lid of the bucket and took another half of the bucket to eat, deliberately making them look at it, but it only made them despair. After that, Wu Yong went to the pine forest, took out the medicine, and shook it in a gourd, just to let him drink the wine. When he took the gourd out of his pocket, the medicine was already mixed in the wine. He pretended to take half the gourd, but Bai Sheng snatched it away. Come, pour it into the bucket. This is the strategy. It was Wu Yong's idea to make the calculation, and this was called "taking the birthday plan out of wisdom". It turns out that Yang Zhi woke up quickly because he didn't drink enough wine. He was about to get up and couldn't hold himself back. When he looked at the fourteen people, he was speechless and unable to move. Just as the saying goes: "You are so treacherous that you have to eat the foot-washing water." Yang Zhi said angrily: "I don't want you to take the birthday card and teach me." How can I find Liang Zhongshu when I can't pay the certificate?
Now that I have a home and a country, where can I go to find him? A place of death." He lifted up his clothes and jumped down while looking at the yellow mud hill. Exactly: Ruining the fallen flowers in three months of rain, destroying willows in nine autumn frosts.
After all, Yang Zhi sought death on Huangnigang. We will tell you about his life next time. (There are no textbooks for this section) Translation of "Outsmarting the Birth Plan"
