Fu Tianpeng lost troops and food during his first expedition. Although he knew that it was a trap set by a traitor to kill him, the ruthless military law had no choice but to face the reality and go to Marshal Han Shizhong's camp to receive the punishment.
After arriving at Zhenjiang Camp, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing showed their pass tokens to the soldiers guarding the camp.
Then he entered the handsome tent unimpeded. At that time, Marshal Han Shizhong was discussing matters at the summit, discussing with the generals the strategy of deploying defenses along the river and blocking the Jin people.
Han Shizhong was overjoyed when he saw Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing rushing back after a long journey. Marshal Han asked his soldiers to prepare wine for the two of them, and at the same time asked his son Yanzhi to call his mother Liang Hongyu.
Fu Tianpeng raised his head and glanced at Marshal Han and the generals in the tent. Two lines of hot tears rolled down his handsome eyes like stars. Then Fu Tianpeng knelt on his knees and said to Han Shizhong: "Marshal, Tianpeng's expedition was unlucky. Not only were the grain and fodder in custody stolen by criminals, but all the accompanying soldiers were killed. As a pioneer, I should be responsible for this matter. So I met the marshal this time. I just asked the marshal to transport me to the capital to accept the sanctions of the country. As for Xue Qing, the whole matter has nothing to do with her. There is no need to bear the consequences."
After listening to Fu Tianpeng's story, Han Shizhong quickly asked Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing to get up. At this time, Mrs. Han Liang Hongyu had heard several people talking outside the tent. Liang Hongyu opened the curtain, walked quickly to Zhao Xueqing, took her hand and said, "Qing'er, tell me quickly, what is going on?"
Zhao Xueqing then explained in detail to Marshal Han and Mrs. Han the ins and outs of the day when Qin Hui called them to the treasury to equip the grain truck and the attack in the bamboo forest. Liang Hongyu knew that although Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing had little experience in martial arts, they were highly skilled in martial arts, and Zhao Xueqing was smart, alert, and thoughtful. If they wanted to tamper with the grain truck in the middle of the journey, it would be extremely difficult. Therefore, it is most likely that the food and grass were packed before departure. And those bad guys who broke out halfway were executing a plan to kill two birds with one stone. It's best if they can deal with Fu Tianpeng. If they can't deal with him, it can be used as evidence to frame him.
After listening to his wife Liang Hongyu's analysis, Marshal Han frowned and fell into deep thought. After a while, Marshal Han said slowly: "Madam's analysis is very reasonable. With the martial arts and resourcefulness of Fu Shaoxia and her daughter Xue Qing, it is impossible for the gangsters to switch the food and grass in the middle. The problem is most likely to occur before the deployment. There must be some insider involved. As for the gangsters who attacked Tianpeng and the others, they had only one purpose, which was to create the illusion that food and grass were robbed halfway. Just imagine, if they could hurt Tianpeng and Qing'er, they would have to go to such lengths A scheming plan?"
Faced with Marshal Han Shizhong's sensible analysis, everyone present was convinced. Liang Hongyu loves her daughter passionately. She knows that losing troops and losing food is a serious crime. In addition, Qin Hui serves as the commander of the labor force, so Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing will most likely be sent to the capital and be executed for dereliction of duty.
While everyone was talking, the soldier brought in the wine flask. Han Shizhong waved his hand and let Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing drink to calm down their shock. Then he twirled his beard and straightened his beard, and after a moment of thought, he said to Liang Hongyu: "Madam, is this gang of gangsters deliberately trying to rob food and wounded soldiers? Is their purpose just to deal with Tianpeng and Qing'er?"
Liang Hongyu raised her beautiful eyebrows and took the words and said: "Husband, do you mean that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but his ultimate goal is to deal with me, the Song Dynasty court?"
Han Shizhong looked solemn. He told Liang Hongyu that the other party might not only deal with the imperial court, but might also target these generals who advocated resistance to the Jin Dynasty to clear the way for the Jin Kingdom to move south smoothly. Therefore, we have to guard against ambition.
After listening to Han Shizhong's reminder, Liang Hongyu frowned in anger. She held the sword tightly in her hand and said angrily: "There was Zhang Bangchang before me, Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan behind me. How come we have such sycophants and scum in the Song Dynasty? Now our dynasty is blindly moving south from Jiankang to Lin'an. This kind of negative and decadent thoughts, It’s all caused by the slanderous ministers who deceived the Holy Heart. I think the only way to realize Commander-in-Chief Yue’s long-cherished wish to start over and clean up the old mountains and rivers is to kill all these treacherous ministers.”
As soon as Liang Hongyu finished speaking, she heard someone outside respond: "Execute Huang Cuo, Qing Jun. Mrs. Liang is indeed a heroine, and what she said is really heroic and admirable."
This response was like thunder, which immediately made the people in the tent feel inexplicably stunned.
After this person walked into the big tent, everyone took a closer look at his thin and yellow face and realized that it was Qin Hui, the political advisor. Qin Hui bowed his head and said hello to Han Shizhong, Mrs. Han and the generals present. Then he glanced sideways and asked Fu Tianpeng with a smile: "General Fu's attack must be a victory, and the food and grass have arrived safely, right?"
Qin Hui looked directly at Fu Tianpeng with his small mung bean eyes, waiting for his reply. Fu Tianpeng told Qin Hui that the food and grass had not arrived safely. After hearing this, Qin Hui stroked his sparse beard and said "Oh". Then he asked Fu Tianpeng whether the accompanying soldiers were okay? Fu Tianpeng informed Qin Hui that all the soldiers on the expedition were killed.
After Fu Tianpeng finished speaking, Qin Hui immediately rolled his eyes strangely. He shouted at Fu Tianpeng with a voice like a broken bowl: "The food and grass were transferred, and no soldier was spared. Fu Xianfeng, what you committed is a capital crime. Military law is ruthless, so don't blame me for being unkind." Come on, take off Fu Tianpeng's helmet and robes, put him into the prison car, and return him to the Third Law Department for strict questioning."
In an instant, four soldiers appeared behind Qin Hui, all of them baring their teeth and claws. When Liang Hongyu saw that Qin Hui was about to take someone, she immediately took out her sword from its sheath. She pointed at Qin Hui and cursed: "Master Qin, you are too presumptuous. This is my husband's military headquarters. You are showing off your power here, and you are not taking him seriously."
Qin Hui saw that Liang Hongyu was angry. He knew how powerful this heroine was. His cunning face suddenly turned cloudy. Qin Hui smiled and said to Liang Hongyu: "Mrs. Han, please calm down. I acted recklessly out of a public conscience. Please be considerate of the marshal and his wife."
At this time, Han Shizhong stood up and said to Qin Hui: "Master Qin, I know Tianpeng and Qing'er very well. They are both young heroes with loyal and pure aspirations. The previous two adventures were in Pingjiang Mansion to spy on Wu Xi's rebellion information. Later, they took the trouble to go to the capital to report the news. Moreover, they are all civilians. Isn't this act out of public interest? "
Qin Hui deliberately wanted to kill Fu Tianpeng in order to get rid of the thorn in his side, Prime Minister Zhao Ding. Therefore, this time he was red-mouthed and white-fanged, and he wanted to argue with Han Shizhong to the end based on "reason". Qin Hui said with a smile: "Marshal Han, these two things are one and the same. Fu Tianpeng had merit in the previous time, but this time as a general of the imperial court, he was unfavorable in escorting grain and grass and lost troops. Of course, he must accept the sanctions of national law. So Qin Please do not ask Han Shizhong to interfere with this matter, lest the Holy One punish you and vent your anger on the marshal."
Seeing the hidden threat in Qin Hui's words, Liang Hongyu was furious. She said to Qin Hui: "Master Qin, my husband joined the army when he was young. Now he has served half his life and has made many illustrious military exploits. These are all achieved through bloody battles with swords and swords. Master Qin is now an official and participates in political affairs, and his duties are the same. Yu, Deputy Prime Minister. But instead of admonishing His Majesty to send troops north to regain the lost territory, you instead slandered and encouraged His Majesty to accept the national policy of south from south and north from north. Mr. Qin, if you betray your ancestors like this, you will destroy the great rivers and mountains. Aren’t you afraid of the sanction of national law if you give in to others?”
Qin Hui saw Liang Hongyu's eyes filled with anger, so he pretended to be upright and upright again. He said: "When Qin was trapped in the Jin camp, he was thinking about serving the country all the time. Finally, when the Jin soldiers were unaware, he killed the guarding soldiers and escaped by boat from the Yellow River ferry. The Jin people robbed the property and seized the land, and then captured the two saints. As for the Northern Kingdom, I, Qin Hui, swear not to be at odds with them."
After listening to Qin Hui's words, Liang Hongyu sneered. She told Qin Hui that everyone would say this "impassioned" speech. For now, we should discuss how to deal with Fu Tianpeng. Qin Hui knew that he could not take Fu Tianpeng away today no matter what. Liang Hongyu asked him, just hoping that the words would come out of her own mouth.
To say that Qin Hui was able to gain the favor of Emperor Gaozong and reach the position of deputy prime minister, it was because he was good at observing words and emotions and could analyze the emerging situation. Qin Hui followed the current and said to Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu: "It is said that no one is a saint, and no one can do anything wrong. For the sake of Marshal Han and his wife, Qin will spare Fu Xianfeng this time. From now on, he will kill enemies on the battlefield and make meritorious deeds." , to make up for today’s mistakes.”
After Qin Hui finished speaking, Liang Hongyu said to Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing: "Tianpeng, Qing'er, why don't you thank Master Qin for your forgiveness?"
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing hurriedly expressed their gratitude to Qin Hui, who waved his hands repeatedly. At this time, he stood up and said goodbye, telling Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu that he was going to Jianghuai to see the preparations for the war at Yue Fei's camp. Han Shizhong told Qin Hui that now is the time when the country is in crisis, and we should work together to protect the country.
Qin Hui nodded and told Han Shizhong. He would go back and ask the Holy One to send troops and food supplies to ensure the smooth preparation of the army for war. Before leaving, Qin Hui implicitly asked Han Shizhong about the army's confidence in fighting the Jin soldiers and when they could deploy their troops before the war.
After listening to Qin Hui's words, Han Shizhong's face was instantly filled with sadness. He said to Qin Hui: "Master Qin, after Tianpeng has transported the grain and grass, I can prepare for the Yangtze River water battle. If it seems, I have to stick to the water stronghold. Because once the army sets off, the logistics supplies will not be available, and the Jin soldiers will If we deploy control on the water, our army will be completely passive."
Qin Hui nodded thoughtfully, and said to Han Shizhong: "According to Marshal Han's words, it means that the current war situation is unfavorable, so we can only hold on to the camp?"
Han Shizhong nodded, and Qin Hui also led a group of soldiers towards Jianghuai. Liang Hongyu looked at Qin Hui's retreating back and said to Han Shizhong: "Husband, this Qin Hui is inquiring about the defense situation of our camp. I think he must not have any good intentions."
Han Shizhong smiled and told Liang Hongyu that no matter who he was, he would not be punished by foreign military orders. Now the Song Dynasty is heavily engaged in military affairs. Taking advantage of this great opportunity, it is time to give the Jin people a head-on blow in order to boost the country's prestige. Now two generals, Hu Yantong and Wang Zuo, are working internally at the Jin camp. We can just join forces with Marshal Yue Fei to attack.
After that, Han Shizhong called Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing to his side and gave them secret plans. The two of them immediately said goodbye to Marshal Han and his wife, and set off to Pingjiang Mansion again.
