话说宋阵里破(po)(po)乔(qiao)道清妖术的那个(ge)先生(sheng),正是"入云龙"公孙(sun)(sun)胜(sheng)(sheng)。他(ta)(ta)在卫(wei)州接了宋先锋(feng)将(jiang)(jiang)令,即同(tong)王英(ying),张清,解(jie)珍,解(jie)宝,星夜(ye)赶(gan)到军前。入寨参见(jian)了宋先锋(feng),恰遇(yu)(yu)乔(qiao)道清逞弄妖法,战败(bai)樊瑞。那日是二月初(chu)八(ba)日,干支(zhi)是戊(wu)午(wu),戊(wu)属土。当下公孙(sun)(sun)胜(sheng)(sheng)就请天干神将(jiang)(jiang),克破(po)(po)那壬(ren)癸水,扫荡妖氛,现出青(qing)天白日。宋江,公孙(sun)(sun)胜(sheng)(sheng)两骑(qi)马(ma)同(tong)到阵前,看(kan)见(jian)乔(qiao)道清羞(xiu)惭(can)满面,领军马(ma)望南(nan)便走。公孙(sun)(sun)胜(sheng)(sheng)对宋江道:"乔(qiao)道清法败(bai)奔(ben)走,若放他(ta)(ta)进城(cheng),便根深固柢。兄长疾忙(mang)传(chuan)令,教徐(xu)宁,索超,领兵(bing)五千(qian),从东路(lu)抄(chao)至南(nan)门,绝住(zhu)去路(lu);王英(ying),孙(sun)(sun)新,领兵(bing)五千(qian),驰往西门截住(zhu)。如遇(yu)(yu)乔(qiao)道清兵(bing)败(bai)到来,只截住(zhu)他(ta)(ta)进城(cheng)的路(lu),不必与(yu)他(ta)(ta)杀。"宋江依计传(chuan)令,分(fen)拨(bo)众将(jiang)(jiang)遵令去了。
此(ci)时(shi)兀是(shi)(shi)巳片时(shi)分,宋江(jiang)(jiang)同公孙(sun)(sun)胜(sheng)(sheng)统领林冲,张(zhang)清(qing),汤隆,李(li)云,扈三娘,顾大嫂七个(ge)头领,军(jun)马(ma)二万(wan),赶杀前来。北将雷震等保护乔(qiao)道(dao)(dao)清(qing),且(qie)(qie)战且(qie)(qie)走。前面(mian)又有军(jun)马(ma)到来,却是(shi)(shi)孙(sun)(sun)琪,聂新领兵(bing)接(jie)应,合兵(bing)一处(chu)。刚(gang)到五(wu)龙山寨(zhai)(zhai),听得后(hou)面(mian)宋兵(bing)鸣(ming)锣擂(lei)鼓,喊杀连天,飞赶上来。孙(sun)(sun)琪道(dao)(dao):"国(guo)师入寨(zhai)(zhai)驻扎,待孙(sun)(sun)某等与他决(jue)一死战。"乔(qiao)道(dao)(dao)清(qing)在(zai)众将面(mian)前夸(kua)了口(kou),况且(qie)(qie)自来行法,不(bu)曾遇(yu)着(zhe)对(dui)手,今被宋兵(bing)追迫,十分羞(xiu)怒,便(bian)对(dui)孙(sun)(sun)琪道(dao)(dao):"你们且(qie)(qie)退后(hou),待我上前拒敌。"即便(bian)勒兵(bing)列阵(zhen),一马(ma)当先(xian),雷震等将簇拥左右。乔(qiao)道(dao)(dao)清(qing)高叫(jiao):"水草寇(kou),焉得这般欺负人?俺再与你决(jue)个(ge)胜(sheng)(sheng)败。"原来乔(qiao)道(dao)(dao)清(qing)生长泾(jing)原,是(shi)(shi)极西北地(di)面(mian),与山东(dong)道(dao)(dao)路遥远(yuan),不(bu)知宋江(jiang)(jiang)等众兄(xiong)弟详细(xi)。
当下(xia)宋(song)阵(zhen)(zhen)里把旗左招右展,一(yi)(yi)(yi)起一(yi)(yi)(yi)伏(fu),列成阵(zhen)(zhen)势,两阵(zhen)(zhen)相对,吹(chui)动(dong)(dong)画角,战鼓齐鸣。南阵(zhen)(zhen)里黄旗磨动(dong)(dong),门(men)旗开处(chu),两骑马出阵(zhen)(zhen):中间马上,坐着山(shan)东"呼保(bao)义""及时雨"宋(song)公(gong)明,左手(shou)马上,坐的是(shi)"入云龙"公(gong)孙一(yi)(yi)(yi)清,手(shou)中仗剑(jian),指着乔道(dao)清说道(dao):"你那(nei)学术,都是(shi)外道(dao),不闻正法,快下(xia)马归顺!"乔道(dao)清仔细看时,正是(shi)那(nei)破(po)法的先(xian)生,但见:

公(gong)孙(sun)胜道(dao)(dao):"兄长有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)所不知。本(ben)(ben)师(shi)(shi)罗(luo)真(zhen)人(ren)常(chang)对小(xiao)(xiao)弟说(shuo):“泾原有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)个乔冽,他(ta)(ta)有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)道(dao)(dao)骨,曾来访道(dao)(dao),我暂且拒他(ta)(ta),因他(ta)(ta)魔(mo)心(xin)正(zheng)重,亦是下土生灵(ling)造恶(e),杀运未(wei)终(zhong)。他(ta)(ta)后(hou)来魔(mo)心(xin)渐退,机缘到来,遇德(de)(de)(de)而(er)服(fu)。恰有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)机缘遇汝(ru),汝(ru)可(ke)点(dian)化他(ta)(ta),后(hou)来亦得(de)(de)了(le)悟玄微(wei),日后(hou)亦有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)用着他(ta)(ta)处。”小(xiao)(xiao)弟在卫州(zhou),遵(zun)令前来,于路问妖(yao)人(ren)来历,张将(jiang)军(jun)说(shuo)降将(jiang)耿恭知他(ta)(ta)备细,道(dao)(dao)是乔道(dao)(dao)清即泾县(xian)乔冽。适(shi)见他(ta)(ta)的(de)法(fa),与小(xiao)(xiao)弟比肩相似,小(xiao)(xiao)弟却得(de)(de)本(ben)(ben)师(shi)(shi)罗(luo)真(zhen)人(ren)传授“五(wu)雷正(zheng)法(fa)”,所以(yi)破得(de)(de)他(ta)(ta)的(de)法(fa)。此城叫做昭德(de)(de)(de),合了(le)本(ben)(ben)师(shi)(shi)“遇德(de)(de)(de)魔(mo)降”的(de)法(fa)语(yu)。若放他(ta)(ta)逃(tao)遁(dun),倘(tang)此人(ren)堕(duo)陷魔(mo)障,有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)违本(ben)(ben)师(shi)(shi)法(fa)旨。此机会不可(ke)错过,小(xiao)(xiao)弟即刻(ke)就领(ling)兵追赶,相机降服(fu)他(ta)(ta)。"只一(yi)席话(hua),说(shuo)得(de)(de)宋江心(xin)胸豁然(ran),称(cheng)谢不已(yi)。当下同众将(jiang)统领(ling)军(jun)马(ma),回营食息。公(gong)孙(sun)胜同樊瑞(rui),单廷(ting),魏(wei)定国,统领(ling)一(yi)万军(jun)马(ma),追赶乔道(dao)(dao)清不题。
再说乔(qiao)道清(qing)同费(fei)珍,薛灿,领败残兵(bing)马五千,奔窜(cuan)到(dao)昭德城西,欲从西门进(jin)城,猛听得(de)鼓角齐(qi)鸣(ming),前(qian)面密(mi)林后飞(fei)出一彪军来,当(dang)先二将,乃是(shi)"矮脚虎"王英,"小(xiao)尉(wei)迟(chi)"孙(sun)(sun)新(xin),领五千兵(bing),排开阵(zhen)势(shi),截(jie)住去(qu)(qu)路。费(fei)珍,薛灿抵死冲(chong)突。孙(sun)(sun)新(xin),王英奉公孙(sun)(sun)一清(qing)的令(ling),只不(bu)容他进(jin)城,却不(bu)来赶杀,让他望北去(qu)(qu)了。城中知(zhi)乔(qiao)道清(qing)术窘,大败亏输,宋兵(bing)势(shi)大,惟恐城池有失,紧(jin)紧(jin)的闭(bi)了城门,那里敢出来接应。
无(wu)移时(shi),孙(sun)(sun)新(xin)(xin),王英见公孙(sun)(sun)胜同(tong)樊瑞,单廷,魏定国(guo),领兵(bing)(bing)飞赶上(shang)来。公孙(sun)(sun)胜道(dao)(dao)(dao):"两位(wei)头(tou)领,且到(dao)大寨食息,待贫道(dao)(dao)(dao)自(zi)去赶他。"孙(sun)(sun)新(xin)(xin),王英依(yi)令回寨。此时(shi)已是酉牌(pai)时(shi)分。却说乔道(dao)(dao)(dao)清(qing)同(tong)费(fei)珍(zhen),薛(xue)灿,领败残兵(bing)(bing),急急如丧家之(zhi)狗,忙忙似漏网之(zhi)鱼,望北奔(ben)驰。公孙(sun)(sun)胜同(tong)樊瑞,单廷,魏定国(guo),领兵(bing)(bing)一万,随(sui)后紧紧追(zhui)赶。公孙(sun)(sun)胜高(gao)(gao)叫道(dao)(dao)(dao):"乔道(dao)(dao)(dao)清(qing)快(kuai)下马(ma)降(jiang)顺(shun),休得(de)执迷(mi)!"乔道(dao)(dao)(dao)清(qing)在前(qian)面马(ma)上(shang)高(gao)(gao)声答道(dao)(dao)(dao):"人各为其(qi)(qi)主(zhu),你何故逼(bi)我太甚?"此时(shi)天色已暮,宋兵(bing)(bing)燃(ran)点(dian)火炬火把(ba),火光照耀如白昼一般。乔道(dao)(dao)(dao)清(qing)回顾左(zuo)右,止有(you)费(fei)珍(zhen),薛(xue)灿及三十余骑;其(qi)(qi)余人马(ma),已四散逃窜去了。
乔(qiao)(qiao)道清(qing)欲(yu)拔剑自刎(wen),费珍慌忙夺(duo)住道:"国师不必如此。"用手向(xiang)前面一座山(shan)指道:"此岭可以(yi)藏(zang)匿。"乔(qiao)(qiao)道清(qing)计穷力竭,随(sui)同二(er)将(jiang)驰入山(shan)岭。原来昭德城东(dong)北,有(you)座百(bai)谷岭,相传神农(nong)(nong)尝百(bai)谷处。山(shan)中(zhong)有(you)座神农(nong)(nong)庙。乔(qiao)(qiao)道清(qing)同费薛二(er)将(jiang),屯扎(zha)(zha)神农(nong)(nong)庙中(zhong),手下止有(you)十五六(liu)骑。只(zhi)因公(gong)孙(sun)胜要降服他(ta),所(suo)以(yi)容他(ta)遁入岭中(zhong);不然,宋兵(bing)赶上,就是(shi)(shi)(shi)一万个乔(qiao)(qiao)道清(qing),也杀了(le)。话不絮繁。却(que)说(shuo)公(gong)孙(sun)胜知乔(qiao)(qiao)道清(qing)遁入百(bai)谷岭,即将(jiang)兵(bing)马分四(si)路,扎(zha)(zha)立营寨(zhai)(zhai),将(jiang)百(bai)谷岭四(si)面围住。至(zhi)二(er)更时分,忽见(jian)东(dong)西两(liang)路火光大起,却(que)是(shi)(shi)(shi)宋先锋回寨(zhai)(zhai),复令(ling)林冲(chong),张清(qing),各(ge)领兵(bing)五千,连夜哨(shao)探到(dao)来。与公(gong)孙(sun)胜合兵(bing)一处,共是(shi)(shi)(shi)二(er)万人马,分头扎(zha)(zha)寨(zhai)(zhai),围困(kun)乔(qiao)(qiao)道清(qing)不题。
且(qie)说宋江(jiang)(jiang)次日探(tan)知乔道清(qing)被公孙胜等将(jiang)兵马围困于百(bai)谷岭,即与(yu)吴学(xue)究(jiu)计议(yi)攻城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng);传令大兵拔寨起营(ying),到(dao)昭(zhao)德(de)(de)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)下(xia)(xia)。宋江(jiang)(jiang)分拨将(jiang)佐到(dao)昭(zhao)德(de)(de),围的水不(bu)通。城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)中守将(jiang)叶声(sheng)等,坚守城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)池。宋兵一连攻打二日,城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)尚不(bu)破(po)。宋江(jiang)(jiang)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)南寨中,见攻城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)不(bu)下(xia)(xia),十(shi)分忧闷(men),李逵等被陷,不(bu)知性命如何(he),不(bu)觉潸然(ran)泪下(xia)(xia)。军师(shi)吴用劝道:"兄长不(bu)必(bi)烦闷(men),只消用几张(zhang)纸,此城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)唾手可(ke)得。"宋江(jiang)(jiang)忙问道:"军师(shi)有何(he)良策?"当(dang)下(xia)(xia)吴学(xue)究(jiu)不(bu)慌不(bu)忙,叠着两个指头,说出(chu)这条(tiao)计来。有分教,兵不(bu)血刃孤城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)破(po),将(jiang)士投戈百(bai)姓安。毕(bi)竟吴学(xue)究(jiu)说出(chu)甚(shen)么(me)来,且(qie)听下(xia)(xia)回分解。
