Han Shizhong made an analysis based on Fu Tianpeng's story. He believed that the Jin soldiers would soon gather ships to seize the Yangtze River fortress Zhenjiang and use it as a basis to attack Jingchu. In order to stop the Jin soldiers from going south, Han Shizhong came up with a strategy to catch all the people. The main content of the strategy is to move all the people around Pingjiang Prefecture and take away the necessities of production and life such as wood, copper and iron, grain, and livestock. Then, strong stakes and barbed wire fences were laid on important waterways to prevent Jin warships and sailors from sneaking across.
After deciding on a plan, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing asked Han Shizhong what they needed to do now. Han Shizhong told the two knights that the Jin soldiers had occupied Pingjiang Mansion, and the outside world had no way of knowing what the current situation was in the city. It would be best to sneak into the city. Firstly, they can exchange news and keep track of the movements of the Jin soldiers at any time. Secondly, they can contact the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist.
As soon as Han Shizhong finished speaking, Fu Tianpeng agreed without hesitation. He told the marshal that he was willing to sneak into Pingjiang Mansion and be responsible for liaison with the outside world. After hearing Fu Tianpeng's words, Han Shizhong began to frown and think deeply. After a while, he said to Fu Tianpeng: "Young Master Fu, you just came out of Pingjiang Mansion not long ago. Many people there have seen your face. Besides, there may be Wu Xi's minions hidden in the city. Why don't you enter Pingjiang Mansion again now?" Aren't you going to go to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in it? Such an approach is really too dangerous."
Hearing Han Shizhong's concerned words, Fu Tianpeng felt a warm current surge through his body. He cupped his fists and saluted to thank Marshal Han Shizhong for his love for him, and then Fu Tianpeng also explained the reason why he wanted to go to Pingjiang Mansion. He told Han Shizhong that he was the only candidate to go to Pingjiang Mansion for both public and private matters.
Han Shizhong knew that although Fu Tianpeng was still young, he was sensible and righteous. From the perspective of dedicating himself to serving the country, this passionate knight should be given a chance. However, Han Shizhong was confused about what he said about selfishness. He quickly asked Fu Tianpeng for the specific reason.
Fu Tianpeng said to Han Shizhong: "Marshal, General Li and I hit it off as old friends, and we jointly participated in the campaign to eliminate the traitors and suppress the rebellion. Now there is no news about the two generals Li Haogu and Li Haoyi, and I am very worried. .I implore the marshal to send me to sneak into Pingjiang Mansion this time."
Fu Tianpeng's straightforward words made Han Shizhong very happy. He repeatedly praised Fu Tianpeng for his kindness and righteousness. Therefore, he immediately ordered Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing to sneak back to Pingjiang Mansion to inquire about Jin Bing's movements and report to him at any time.
After Han Shizhong looked at Fu Tianpeng's chivalrous attire, he thought for a moment and said, "Bu Xia, do you have a specific strategy for entering Pingjiang Mansion this time?" Fu Tianpeng was smart, and he immediately replied to Han Shizhong. Fu Tianpeng said: "Marshal, after the plan of fishing from the lake is carried out, the Jin soldiers will definitely worry about food and supplies. At this moment, we disguise ourselves as a couple selling wine, send some wine to the Jin soldiers, and slowly build a relationship with them. When we arrive in the city It will be easier to carry out operations.”
After Han Shizhong nodded, he immediately called the clerk to prepare a cart for Fu Tianpeng. The cart was equipped with three hundred jars of century-old spring wine, one hundred jars of Zhenjiang rice vinegar and a few pieces of ordinary people's clothing. After the clerk counted the items on board the vehicle, he asked Han Shizhong to check them.
Han Shizhong asked Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing to follow him out of the handsome tent and came to the cart. Han Shizhong stroked his long beard and smiled at the two of them: "Young Master Fu, my daughter, look at these things I have prepared. Are you satisfied with them? If not, I will definitely prepare them for your big day in the future." A generous gift.”
When Fu Tianpeng saw these desirable things, he admired Han Shizhong's meticulous thinking. At this time, Zhao Xueqing showed a peach-like shyness on Wu Yanshengxue's pretty face because of Han Shizhong's joke just now.
Then Han Shizhong coughed again, and not long after, a man with a height of nine feet and a broad body walked out from a nearby armory. This man has broad eyebrows, big eyes, a round face, a full chin and curly beard, and he speaks like a bell.
After the strong man came to Fu Tianpeng, he cupped his fists and saluted him and Zhao Xueqing. After Fu Tianpeng returned the gift, he looked back at Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong said to Fu Tianpeng: "Young hero, this man is General Hu Yantong, the pioneer in front of our tent. He is brave and skilled in woodcraft. He can help you better win the trust of the Jin soldiers."
After Fu Tianpeng thanked Han Shizhong, the three of them went straight to Pingjiang Mansion. After they walked to a dense forest far away from Pingjiang Mansion, Fu Tianpeng said to Hu Yantong: "General, now let's wait for the marshal to transfer the people in the nearby area away before entering the city. In addition, in order to make Jin Bing believe more Let’s all try to dress up as dusty and tired from traveling.”
Hu Yantong laughed and said: "Brother Fu, I am just a rough man. I have been out fighting with Marshal Han and his troops all year round, so I naturally look dusty. But you, you still need to dress up, even if you are You have to be more careful when pretending to be a couple."
Fu Tianpeng was busy laughing at Hu Yantong's attentiveness, but Hu Yantong just giggled blindly. Zhao Xueqing knew there was something in his words, and stared at him with a pair of beautiful eyes with a red face, but this made Hu Yantong even more interesting.
The three of them hid in the dense forest and did not come out until the sun set over the mountains and the night began to fall. Hu Yantong has extraordinary physical strength and does not feel tired at all when he pushes the Qianjun cart. He also knew the profound meaning of the Marshal's sending him, so he took on the heavy responsibility of various chores.
When they arrived at the gate of Pingjiang Prefecture, a golden general riding a horse came up to him. This golden general has a sallow complexion and a sharp short stubble beard. After Jin Jiang rode his horse in a circle in front of the three people, he reined in the horse and stood in front of the cart. Then he stared at a pair of eyes as big as a bull, pointed at the cart and asked the three of them: "What is in this cart, and where did you three come from?"
As soon as Jin Jiang finished speaking, Hu Yantong rolled up his arms and sleeves and ran over in stride. He grinned widely and said to Jin with a playful smile: "General, we came here from Changsha to sell wine."
After listening to Hu Yantong's words, Jin turned his eyes and tilted his head to look at Hu Yantong sideways.
Hu Yantong saw Jin Jiang staring at him with doubts in his eyes. He was still laughing and joking, and his expression and behavior did not show the slightest fear. After a while, Jin Jiang turned to Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing.
Fu Tianpeng put his arms around Zhao Xueqing's shoulders and said to General Jin: "General, we and my wife are traveling wine sellers." After Fu Tianpeng finished speaking, General Jin glared at him fiercely, and then saliva flew from his mouth. Di shouted: "Nonsense, you said you traveled all over the country, how come I can't see the vicissitudes of life on your faces at all?"
Hu Yantong on the side listened very clearly, and he thought to himself: "This golden general is very cunning, and his questions are straight to the point. These two knights have fair skin and green faces. They don't look like they have endured hard work." Merchant on the run. Thinking of this, Hu Yantong secretly took out the short knife from his sleeve, and only waited for General Jin to see through Fu Tianpeng's plan, and then stepped forward to kill him.
However, Fu Tianpeng's next reply made Hu Yantong's hanging heart finally fall to the ground. Fu Tianpeng smiled and said to General Jin: "General, haven't you heard that the soil and water support a person. The south of the Yangtze River is sunny and beautiful, and the scenery is pleasant. Living here will certainly improve your skin color. As long as the general stays here for a long time, If you understand, you will understand that what the villain said is absolutely not lies."
"Well, when I came to the Southern Dynasties, I heard this sentence often. What you said is true." After Jin Jiang finished speaking, his hostility towards Fu Tianpeng softened slightly. Fu Tianpeng knew what was going on and quickly took advantage of this opportunity to smooth things over with Jin Jiang. He said to General Jin: "General, we plan to sell wine in Pingjiang Prefecture. We will rely on the general for all future business dealings. There are 200 jars of shaochun wine and fifty jars of Zhenjiang rice vinegar in this car. Please take it away, and the rest will be left to Xiao. When your business opens up, you will naturally not forget the benefits of the general."
After listening to Fu Tianpeng's words, Jin Jiang burst out laughing on his horse. He said to Fu Tianpeng: "Well, you are a good barbarian, and you are quite good at talking. I will send someone to collect the things. If you have anything to do in the future, please tell the soldiers here."
Fu Tianpeng smiled and took over the words and said: "May I ask the general's last name? If I have anything to do, it's better to contact you directly. It's more convenient." After Fu Tianpeng finished speaking, he quietly walked up to General Jin and touched his sleeve. Delivery of banknotes.
After Jin Jiang accepted it with a smile, he said to Fu Tianpeng, "My name is Tong Yali." If you encounter anything here, just come to me. Fu Tianpeng cupped his fists and saluted, and said to Tong Yali: "General, I have taken note of your words."
After Tongya Li ordered the soldiers to move the wine back to the camp, he said to Fu Tianpeng and the others: "Although I can take care of you, there are some places here that you cannot enter or look into at will."
Fu Tianpeng knew that Tong Yali was afraid that others would regard Fu Tianpeng and the others as spies sent by the Song Dynasty, which would bring harm to him. So when Tong Yali said the warning, Fu Tianpeng immediately understood what he meant.
Fu Tianpeng said to Tong Yali: "General, please don't worry, we will not make things difficult for you. The Dazhai in this camp is an important place, and we know it even if you don't tell us. So in the future, you can always come to the city to find us. Because we want to find A place to buy a house and settle down.”
Tong Yali laughed loudly and said to Fu Tianpeng: "You are really smart, I don't need to say a word. Since you are determined to open a store here, I will work hard to find a store for you to make money."
Fu Tianpeng clasped his fists and saluted again, expressing his gratitude to Tong Yali again. Tong Yali waved his hand and told the three of them to rest in a nearby inn first, and he would come to find them tomorrow. The three of them nodded, and Tong Yali immediately turned the horse's head and left.
After Tong Yali left, Fu Tianpeng and the others randomly found an inn. Because there were golden soldiers everywhere, it was easy for Tong Yali to find them. After Zhao Xueqing fell asleep, Fu Tianpeng closed the door and came to look for Hu Yantong.
Hu Yantong was sitting at the table at this time, pouring himself a drink. Seeing Fu Tianpeng come in, Hu Yantong hurriedly asked him to sit down, handed him a wine glass, and filled it for him. Hu Yantong said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Fu, you don't know something. I am upset. I don't know how to complete the task assigned to me by the marshal?"
Fu Tianpeng knew that Hu Yantong wanted to sneak into Jin Bing's camp so he could spy on the news. He smiled and said to Hu Yantong: "Brother Hu, don't worry. It won't take long, and someone will naturally take us into the camp."
After hearing Fu Tianpeng's words, Hu Yantong felt a little confused. He quickly asked Fu Tianpeng to explain the reason. Fu Tianpeng told Hu Yantong that Tong Yali is a money-grubbing person. This time he proposed to find an open store for us because he must want to make a lot of money from it. As long as we satisfy his greed, then he will not be able to be driven by us?
Hu Yantong was very happy when he heard it, but then he was afraid that Tong Yali would turn his face and refuse to admit his fault. Fu Tianpeng told Hu Yantong that if Tong Yali does not cooperate with us by then, he will have his own way to deal with him. Hu Yantong saw that Fu Tianpeng looked confident, so he stopped asking further.
