崇虎风残气更袅,剥民膏髓自肥饶;
逢君欲作千年调,贾窟惟知百计要。
奉命督工人力尽,乘机起 帝图消;
子牙有道征无道,国败人亡事事凋。

崇应彪一马当前,见子牙问曰:‘汝乃何等人物,敢犯吾疆界?’子牙曰:‘吾乃文王驾下,首相姜子牙是也。汝父子造恶如渊海,积毒如山岳;贪民财物,如饿虎伤人,酷惨似豹狼。蛊惑天子,无忠耿之心,坏忠良,极残忍之行;普天之下,虽叁尺之童,恨不能生啖汝父子之肉。今日吾主起仁义之师,除残暴於崇地,绝恶党以畅人神;不负天子,加以节钺专征征伐之意。’应彪闻得此言,大喝姜尚:‘你不过溪一无用老朽,敢出大言?’顾左右曰:‘谁为吾擒此逆贼?’言还未了,只见一将出马对阵;文王马上大呼曰:‘崇应彪少得行凶!孤来也!’应彪又见文王马至,气冲满怀,手指文王大骂曰:‘姬昌!你不思得罪朝廷,立行仁义,反来侵我疆界?’文王曰:‘你父子罪恶贯盈,不必多言;只是你早早下马,解送西岐立坛告天。除汝父子凶恶,不必连累崇城良民。’应彪大喝曰:‘谁为我擒此反贼?’一将应声而出,乃陈继贞:这壁厢辛甲纵马摇斧,大叫:‘陈继贞慢来!休得冲吾阵脚!’两马相交,斧并举,战在一处。二将拨马轮兵,杀有二十回合。应彪见陈继贞不下辛甲,随命金成、梅德助阵。子牙见对阵相助,令毛公遂、周公旦、召公、尹公、辛兔、南宫 六将齐出,冲杀一阵。崇应彪见大势人马催动,自拨马杀进重围;只杀的惨惨征云,纷纷愁雾,喊声不绝,鼓角齐鸣,混战多时,早有尹公一,刺梅德於马下,辛甲斧劈金成。崇兵大败进城。子牙传令鸣金,众将俱掌得胜鼓回营不表。话说应彪兵败将亡,进城将四门紧闭上殿,与众将商议退兵之策。众将见西岐士马英虽,势不可当,并无一筹可展,半策可施。且说子牙得胜回营,欲传令攻城。文王曰:‘崇家父子作恶,与众百姓无干;今丞相欲要攻城,恐城破玉石俱焚,可怜无辜遭枉。况孤此来不过救民,岂有反加之以不仁哉?切为不可。’子牙见文王以仁义为重,不敢抗违,自思:‘主公德同尧舜,一时如何取得崇城?’只得暗修一书,使南宫往曹州见崇黑虎,庶几崇城可得。令南宫 往向曹州来。子牙按兵不动,只等回书。不知崇侯虎性命如何?且看下回分解。
