蔡京见关胜一表人才，对他非常赏识，并询问对敌之策。关胜认为“若救北京，虚劳神力”，建议直取梁山，行围魏救赵之计。

蔡京遂调拨一万五千精锐兵马，任命关胜为领兵指挥使，并以郝思文为先锋、宣赞为合后，让三人征讨梁山泊。 关胜分兵三路，攻打梁山寨栅。戴宗奉命赶赴大名府，请宋江、吴用回军梁山，以解山寨之难。

水军头领张横立功心切，不顾张顺劝阻，率二三百人去劫关胜营寨，结果被关胜部下探知。关胜设下伏兵，将张横等人全部俘获。

张顺与阮氏三雄前来搭救，又中了关胜的埋伏，溃败而走。阮小二、阮小五、张顺被李俊救回，阮小七则被官军活捉。

关胜将张横、阮小七打入陷车，准备捉了宋江后一并解上京师。

In his early years, his father Charles I was executed by Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector, and the British monarchy was abolished as the Republic of England. Charles II was forced into exile. Cromwell died in 1658, and his son Richard Cromwell succeeded him as Lord Protector. Richard was unable to suppress the rebellious nobles and officers, and the British political arena was in chaos. The Parliament declared that the monarchy would be restored, so Charles II was able to return to Britain.

In 1660, Charles II landed in Dover and returned to London to take the throne. In April 1661, it was officially crowned. At the beginning of his accession, he compromised with the powerful parliament and cautiously exercised his limited royal power. In 1665 and 1672, he launched two Anglo Dutch wars. As a result, because of the unfavorable situation in the war, he had both gains and losses; On the contrary, the domestic political situation was involved in the struggle of foreign forces and was deeply controlled and interfered by France and the Netherlands. In 1678, the anti Catholic radical parliament took advantage of the political storm caused by the "Catholic conspiracy" to launch a strong persecution of Catholics and tried to completely empty the royal power. In 1679, Charles II signed the "Law on the Protection of Human Rights" formulated by the Congress. After that, even in the storm, political figures still have certain human rights guarantees. After 1681, Charles II took the initiative, defeated the political enemies and greatly promoted the monarchy, and rebuilt the absolute monarchy (autocracy) of his father, King Charles I of England.

Charles II died in 1685. In order to conform to the popular sentiment, he kept the faith of the Anglican Church for a long time; However, he always sympathized with Catholicism and converted to Catholicism before he died. After his death, his brother James II succeeded him.

Charles II is known as the "happy monarch", with vigorous personality and pursuing hedonism; Because of his firm will, timely change, shrewdness and resourcefulness, he was able to manipulate the overall situation and save the hearts of the people in a crisis full of sectarian conflicts. However, he did not achieve much in war diplomacy. After 1670, Britain became a virtual vassal of France (his favorite French mistress led the Anglo French alliance), and its international status declined to a second-class country; His greatest achievement is to make Britain's sea power expand significantly, and enhance the strength of Britain's future hegemony (see "the Second Hundred Years War between Britain and France"). After his death, he did not leave a legitimate heir, but had at least 14 illegitimate children with his mistress.

Historians have been unable to distinguish the true intentions of Charles II so far, so they cannot judge whether his good and bad actions are motivated by selfishness or good intentions that benefit the country and the people; He looks noble and humorous, but his heart is mysterious and unpredictable. He is a legend who is not easy to make a conclusion.
