In the book "The Complete Biography of Yue", a very wonderful story is written: a southern Song Dynasty general used a bitter trick to cut off one of his arms and return a brave warrior. Although this story has always been considered to be the work of novelists, it has been praised and sung in our country for thousands of years.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, when the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains from the south, Jin Wushu (whose real name was Yan Zongbi), the prince of the Jin Dynasty, and Yue Fei, the famous general of the Anti-Jin Dynasty, opened a decisive battlefield in Zhuxian Town.
Jin Wushu had a righteous son named Lu Wenlong. Lu Wenlong was only sixteen years old, and was originally the son of Lu Deng, the envoy of the Song Dynasty's Lu'an Prefecture. So how did Lu Wenlong become a righteous son of Wushu? There's another reason for that.
At that time, when Jin Wushu attacked Lu'an Prefecture in the Southern Song Dynasty, the indignant Lu Deng chose to commit suicide and martyrdom with his wife, but left Lu Wenlong, who was still in his infancy, and was taken by his grandmother.
Jin Wushu did not have children at that time, he happened to see Lu Wenlong, thought that this child was very cute, and did not know what kind of idea, so he abducted Lu Wenlong and his mother to the Jin camp.
Jin Wushu not only did not kill Lu Wenlong, but when he grew up, he also accepted him as a righteous son and asked famous teachers to teach him martial arts. Therefore, Lu Wenlong was heroic and martial at a young age, and he had the courage to be invincible.
When Jin Wushu led his army to fight Yue Fei, Lu Wenlong also obeyed the orders under the tent. He was good at using two guns, and at that time, no one in Yue Fei's camp was his opponent, so Yue Fei had to hang up the exemption card.
One day, Yue Fei was thinking about a plan to break the enemy in the camp, when he suddenly saw Wang Zuo walk into the tent. Yue Fei saw that Wang Zuo's face was sallow, one of his right arms had been cut off, he had just applied medicine and bandaged it, and he could still see blood. Yue Fei was surprised and asked Wang Zuo, "General Wang, you... you...... What's going on? ”
Wang Zuo said, "In the past few days, I have seen the marshal worried about Lu Wenlong's affairs, but unfortunately no one in our army can beat him. Fortunately, I have already thought of a way to break the enemy. ”
"Oh? What is General Wang's best strategy? Yue Fei asked hurriedly.
"As far as I know, Lu Wenlong was originally the son of Lu Deng, the emissary of Lu'an Prefecture. I thought this was a breakthrough, and after some deep thinking, I decided to go to the Camp of the Jin Army myself, tell the child about Lu Wenlong's origins, and persuade him to defect to the Song, so as to remove Jin Wushu's most powerful assistant. In order not to make him suspicious, I had to cut off my own arm and use this bitter meat trick to deal with him. ”
After Yue Fei listened to Wang Zuo's words, his heart was full of gratitude, and he burst into tears, tightly wrapped his arms around Wang Zuo's shoulders and could not speak. That was the case, so he could only go to the Golden Camp to try it.
Wang Zuo rushed to the Jin camp overnight and said to Jin Wushu, "The young minister Wang Zuo, who was originally a subordinate of Yang Mo, was officially enfeoffed as Marquis Shenghou of Che. After Yang Mo failed, I had to submit to Yue Fei..."
"Since you served under Yue Fei's tent, why did you come to my camp?" What conspiracy is there? Jin Wushu couldn't guess what medicine Wang Zuo was selling in the gourd, so he bluffed and threatened.
Wang Zuo had already prepared his mind and replied calmly and calmly: "Last night, the Song army was deliberating in the accounts, and the young minister told Yue Fei that there were three million Jin soldiers, and it was really difficult to resist, so it was better to negotiate peace." But Yue Fei was furious and ordered someone to cut off my right arm, and asked me to find Jinying to report that Yue Jiajun would come to capture the wolf lord and step on Jinying on the same day. If the minister did not come, he would cut off my other arm. Therefore, I have only come to plead with the Wolf Lord, hoping that you will give me a chance to live. ”
When Jin Wushu listened to him, he was very sympathetic to his "suffering", and seeing that his right arm was broken and looked like a wasted man, he expected that he would not have any conspiracy, so he left him in the camp and called him "a bitter son".
Wang Zuo took advantage of his ability to move freely in the golden camp and secretly met with Lu Wenlong's wet nurse. The nurse was also very touched when she heard his intentions, and she endured the humiliation and secretly raised Lu Wenlong, hoping that he would one day inherit his father's business and resist Jin Bing. The two hit it off and decided to tell Lu Wenlong about his life.
Then, Wang Zuo took advantage of another opportunity to tell Lu Wenlong about his life when others were not there.
Lu Wenlong didn't believe it at first and wanted to kill Wang Zuo. Therefore, Wang Zuo called out the nurse who was hiding on the side and asked her to testify.
Lu Wenlong was suddenly in great pain, and in a hurry, he wanted to go to Jin Wushu to avenge him. However, he was pulled by Wang Zuo, so that he could not act rashly, first hide it for a while, and wait for the opportunity to act.
At this time, jin bing brought a batch of cannons to prepare to bomb the Yue family's military camp late at night, but fortunately, Lu Wenlong took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and reported the letter with an arrow book, so that the Yue family army was spared losses.
That night, Lu Wenlong, His Mother and Wang Zuo defected to the Song camp.
Wang Zuo lost one of his arms and exchanged a fierce general for the Yue family army, which was praised by the world.
And Lu Wenlong, who had fallen to his roots, did not disappoint Wang Zuo and Yue Fei, and he made great achievements in the subsequent war against Jin.
