詩曰：
白魚吉兆喜非常，預肇周家應瑞昌。八百諸侯稱碩德，千年師帥頌匡襄。堂堂陣演三三疊，正正旗門六六行。時雨師臨民甚悅，成湯基業已消亡。

白鱼吉兆喜非常，预肇周家应瑞昌。八百诸侯称硕德，千年师帅颂匡襄。堂堂阵演三三叠，正正旗门六六行。时雨师临民甚悦，成汤基业已消亡。
A poem says:
The white fish, a lucky omen, brings joy beyond measure;it foretells that the house of Zhou will answer to good fortune and glory.The eight hundred lords acclaim great virtue;for a thousand years the commander will be praised for the aid he gave.Imposing, the ranks are drawn up three by three, layer on layer;orderly, the banner gates stand in rows of six and six.The army like timely rain arrives and the people rejoice;the foundations laid by Cheng Tang are already gone.
話說袁洪調兵往孟津駐劄，以阻諸侯咽喉。不表。且說澠池縣張奎日夕望朝歌救兵，忽有報馬報入府來：「天子招了新元帥袁洪，調兵二十萬駐劄孟津，以阻諸侯；未見發兵來救澠池。」張奎聞報大驚曰：「天子不發救兵，此城如何拒守！況前有周兵，後有孟津，四百諸侯前後合攻，此取敗之道。今反捨此不救，奈何？」忙與夫人高蘭英共議。夫人曰：「料吾二人也可阻住周兵。今袁洪拒住孟津，則南北諸侯也不能抄我之後。只打聽袁洪得勝，若破了南北二侯，我再與你去合兵共破周武，再無有不勝之理。俺們如今只設法守城，不要與周將對敵；待他糧盡兵疲，一戰成功，無有不克。此萬全之道也。」張奎心下狐疑不定。且說子牙見澠池一個小縣，攻打不下，反陣亡了許多將官，納悶在中軍，暗暗點首嗟歎：「可憐這些扶主定國英雄，瀝膽披肝，止落得遺言在此，此身皆化為烏有！」子牙正在那裏傷悼，忽轅門官來報：「有一道童求見。」子牙傳令：「請來。」少時，只見一道童至帳下行禮曰：「弟子乃夾龍山飛龍洞懼留孫的門人。因師兄土行孫在夾龍山猛獸崖被張奎所害，家師已知應上天之數，這是救不得的；只是過澠池須有原故。家師特著弟子來此下書，師叔便知端的。」子牙接上書來，展開觀看，書曰：
话说袁洪调兵往孟津驻札，以阻诸侯咽喉。不表。且说渑池县张奎日夕望朝歌救兵，忽有报马报入府来：「天子招了新元帅袁洪，调兵二十万驻札孟津，以阻诸侯；未见发兵来救渑池。」张奎闻报大惊曰：「天子不发救兵，此城如何拒守！况前有周兵，后有孟津，四百诸侯前后合攻，此取败之道。今反舍此不救，奈何？」忙与夫人高兰英共议。夫人曰：「料吾二人也可阻住周兵。今袁洪拒住孟津，则南北诸侯也不能抄我之后。只打听袁洪得胜，若破了南北二侯，我再与你去合兵共破周武，再无有不胜之理。俺们如今只设法守城，不要与周将对敌；待他粮尽兵疲，一战成功，无有不克。此万全之道也。」张奎心下狐疑不定。且说子牙见渑池一个小县，攻打不下，反阵亡了许多将官，纳闷在中军，暗暗点首嗟叹：「可怜这些扶主定国英雄，沥胆披肝，止落得遗言在此，此身皆化为乌有！」子牙正在那里伤悼，忽辕门官来报：「有一道童求见。」子牙传令：「请来。」少时，只见一道童至帐下行礼曰：「弟子乃夹龙山飞龙洞惧留孙的门人。因师兄土行孙在夹龙山猛兽崖被张奎所害，家师已知应上天之数，这是救不得的；只是过渑池须有原故。家师特着弟子来此下书，师叔便知端的。」子牙接上书来，展开观看，书曰：
Now, Yuan Hong had moved his troops to Mengjin and stationed them there to block the lords at the throat of the road. But no more of that. Meanwhile, in Mianchi County, Zhang Kui looked day and night for a relief army from Zhaoge. Suddenly a mounted messenger came into the residence with a report: “The Son of Heaven has taken on a new marshal, Yuan Hong, who has moved two hundred thousand men to Mengjin and stationed them there to hold back the lords. There is no sign of troops being sent to relieve Mianchi.” Zhang Kui was greatly alarmed at the news and said, “If the Son of Heaven sends no relief, how is this town to be held? Besides, there are the Zhou troops in front of us and Mengjin behind us; if the four hundred lords attack us front and rear together, that is the road to defeat. And now instead he leaves us here unrelieved. What are we to do?” He hurried to talk it over with his wife, Gao Lanying. His wife said, “I reckon the two of us can hold back the Zhou troops well enough. Now that Yuan Hong is holding Mengjin, the lords of the south and north cannot get round behind us either. We need only wait for news that Yuan Hong has won. If he defeats the two lords of the south and north, then you and I will join forces with him and crush King Wu of Zhou together, and there is no way we can fail. For now we should simply find ways to hold the town and not meet the Zhou generals in battle. When their grain runs out and their men are worn down, we win it in a single battle — we cannot fail. This is the surest way of all.” Zhang Kui’s mind was full of doubt and he could not decide. Our story turns to Ziya. Seeing that he could not take Mianchi, one small county town, and had instead lost a great many of his officers in battle, he sat gloomily in the command tent, nodding to himself and sighing in secret: “Alas for these heroes who upheld their lord and steadied the realm! They laid their livers bare and poured out their gall, and all that is left of them here are their last words — they themselves have all come to nothing!” While Ziya was grieving there, the officer of the camp gate suddenly came to report: “There is a Daoist boy asking to see you.” Ziya gave the order: “Ask him in.” Shortly a Daoist boy came before the tent, saluted and said, “I am a disciple of Juliusun of the Flying Dragon Cave on Mount Jialong. My elder brother in the Way, Tu Xingsun, was killed by Zhang Kui at Fierce Beast Cliff on Mount Jialong. My master already knew that this was in answer to Heaven’s reckoning and he could not be saved; but there is a reason for it when it comes to getting past Mianchi. My master has sent me here especially to deliver this letter. Uncle, you will know the whole of it.” Ziya took the letter, opened it and read. The letter said:
「道末懼留孫致書于大元帥子牙公麾下：前者土行孫合該于猛獸崖死于張奎之手，理數難逃，貧道只有望崖垂泣而已，言之可勝長歎！今張奎善于守城，急切難下，但他數亦當終。子牙公不可遲誤，可令楊戩將貧道符印先在黃河岸邊，等楊任、韋護追趕至此擒之。取城只用哪吒、雷震子足矣。子牙公須是親自用調虎離山計，一戰成功。此去自然坦夷。只候封神之後，再圖會晤。不宣。」

“Juliusun, the least of Daoists, sends this letter to Lord Ziya, Grand Marshal, beneath his banner. Some time ago it was Tu Xingsun’s lot to die at Zhang Kui’s hands at Fierce Beast Cliff. There was no escaping what was fated; this poor Daoist could only gaze at the cliff and weep, and to speak of it is beyond all sighing! Now, Zhang Kui is skilled at defending a town and cannot be taken quickly, but his span too is due to end. Lord Ziya must not delay. Have Yang Jian take this poor Daoist’s talisman and seal and go ahead to the bank of the Yellow River, and wait there for Yang Ren and Wei Hu to chase him that far and catch him. To take the town, Nezha and Leizhenzi alone will be enough. Lord Ziya must carry out in person the stratagem of luring the tiger from the mountain, and win in a single battle. From there on the way will be smooth and level. Only after the investiture of the gods shall we meet again. I need say no more.”
