Hamichi stopped Wang Zuo and his party, and after failing to search their bodies and vehicles, he let them out of Dazhai. At this time, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing, who had successfully sneaked into the Jin camp, were standing outside the door of the carpentry workshop disguised as Jin soldiers guarding and supervising the work. In this way, they can secretly protect the safety of Hu Yantong and Shi Yisheng, and can deliver news at any time. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone.

Because the war was imminent, the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were all from the north and were not familiar with water warfare, so Hamichi was ordered by Jin Wushu generals to go to the water stronghold to help defend and train the soldiers. After verifying the identities of all personnel entering and leaving the barracks, Hamichi asked the guard general Tong Yali to take out the "Water Village Attendance Record." After Tongyali handed the records to Hamichi, Hamichi discovered after repeated checks that Tongyali's deputy, Moduli, had not returned since he left ten days ago.

Hamichi pointed to the record and asked Tongyali, what on earth did Moduli do?

Tongyali told Hamichi that Moduli should return after escorting the third batch of supplies, but he has not returned yet.

Hamichi couldn't help but frowned after listening to Tong Yali's story. He was worried that Tong Yali would fall into the hands of the Song Dynasty, which might leak his country's military information. Therefore, Hamichi immediately drafted a letter and asked Mahahu to disguise himself and go to Lin'an to find Qin Hui.

After checking the general's attendance record, Hamichi asked Tong Yali to lead the way and went with him to the carpentry workshop to supervise the work. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing saw Hamichi coming from a distance and quickly stood erect.

Hamichi and Tong Yali were discussing the deployment of the water stronghold after the war. When they arrived at the entrance of the carpentry workshop, Hamichi glanced at Fu Tianpeng's back, then stopped to take a closer look at his figure. Hamichi's eyes were sharp and penetrating, as if he wanted to understand the other person's mind. Fu Tianpeng stood there, feeling this invisible pressure deeply from his heart. He felt that if Hamichi didn't leave, he might not be able to stand firmly.

Zhao Xueqing on the side secretly winked at Fu Tianpeng, telling him to calm down and not be too nervous. At this time, a soldier ran in from outside and said to Hami Chiha: "Commander, here is a letter from you."

Hamichi turned around and took the letter from the soldier's hand, then hid it in his sleeve. When he was about to enter the door, Hamichi pointed at Fu Tianpeng and said to Tong Yali: "This soldier is too thin and weak. He really lacks the burliness of our men from the Kingdom of Jin. By the way, are the guards here changed regularly?"

Facing Hamichi's question, Tong Yali nodded. The two of them then entered the carpentry workshop to supervise the progress of the shipbuilding. After Hamichi entered the house, Fu Tianpeng breathed a sigh of relief. He quietly said to Zhao Xueqing: "This person is really difficult to deal with. He stands behind me and makes me feel like a thorn in my back."

Zhao Xueqing replied softly: "Of course, he is the military advisor of the Jin Kingdom, how can he be just an idle person?"

With Hamichi here, Fu Tianpeng secretly told himself that he had to be careful in everything to avoid letting him discover any flaws. His own safety is a small matter, but it is a big deal that it affects Marshal Han's overall plan.

Just as Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xiaoqing were whispering, they heard a burst of noise coming from the carpentry workshop. Fu Tianpeng listened carefully and found that the speaker was Hu Yantong. Just listen to Hu Yantong say: "Here, the side plates need to be reinforced, and the deck needs to be widened and thickened. The soldiers and generals of the Jin Kingdom are not used to water warfare. This can reduce the bumps of the wind and waves on the river." "

Hamichi looked at Hu Yantong carefully for a long time from behind. I was very happy to see that he arranged things properly and commanded them well. Hamichi walked up to Hu Yantong with narrowed eyes and asked him some personal information. Hu Yantong answered fluently, and Hamichi nodded repeatedly.

After talking for a while, Hamichi suddenly said to Hu Yantong: "You are from the Song Dynasty, why are you helping us here?"

When Hu Yantong saw Hami Chi raising such an embarrassing question, his face did not reveal the slightest displeasure. Instead, he shouted at the top of his voice: "We Han people have a saying that those who understand current affairs are heroes. Dajin The country's army is strong and its horses are strong, and it already controls half of the world. Given time, it will be easy to send troops south and unify the Central Plains. This is just a matter of following nature."

After hearing what Hu Yantong said, Hamichi grinned widely. He ordered people to reward Hu Yantong with one hundred taels of gold. After Hu Yantong received the gold, he thanked Hamichi repeatedly. Hamichi told Hu Yantong that as long as he was loyal to the Kingdom of Jin, he would enjoy endless prosperity and wealth in the future.

After talking with Hu Yantong about the shipbuilding situation for a while, Hamichi went to the cabin with Tong Yali and Shi Yisheng. The three of them closed the cabin door tightly and discussed in detail the detailed plan for the battle with the Song Dynasty Navy.

Shi Yisheng told Hami Chi that Han Shizhong's navy was battle-hardened and all of them were extremely brave. Water warfare is our weakness, but it must be overcome. Otherwise, the natural barrier of the Yangtze River cannot be opened, and the southward advance will inevitably stop.

Hamichi and Tongyali nodded after listening to Shi Yisheng's words. Then Hamichi said to Shi Yisheng: "Mr. Shi is very knowledgeable and proficient in the art of war. He must have a way to win at this moment."

Shi Yisheng took out a topographic map of the waters around Zhenjiang, spread it out on the table, and invited Hamichi and Tongyali to come. The two of them stood at the table and listened carefully to Shi Yisheng's explanation. Shi Yisheng said to Hamichi: "Ha Military Advisor, most of Han Shizhong's naval forces are warships with wooden sails and pointed bottoms. These ships are light and agile, suitable for individual combat, and easy to control. The disadvantage is that when there is a headwind, Due to its slow speed, it is easily attacked by large ships in open areas."

After listening to Shi Yisheng's words, Hamichi clapped his hands repeatedly. Then he took out the secret letter from his sleeve and said to Shi Yisheng and Tong Yali: "Mr. Shi's words coincide with what is said in the letter. It seems that our army must fight in the open field." The zone took advantage of its own ships to completely eliminate Han Shizhong’s navy along the river.”

Shi Yisheng took the words and said: "Military Commander Ha, I already have an excellent location to annihilate the Han Shizhong Navy."

After hearing Shi Yisheng's story, Hamichi was overjoyed. He quickly asked Shi Yisheng, where was the ambush location?

Shi Yisheng conveniently put one on the map, and then marked a location with a pen. Hamichi stretched his neck to look at the map and found that the name of the place marked by Shi Yisheng was "Huang Tiandang".

Hamichi pointed to the map and hurriedly asked Shi Yisheng about the geography of Huangtiandang. Shi Yisheng told Hami Chi that the waterways in Huangtiandang were crisscrossed and water transportation was smooth. In order to facilitate shipping in the south of the Yangtze River, Yang Guang spent a lot of money to dig out mud and clear out obstructions. Later generations continued to govern,

Never without a break.

After listening to Shi Yisheng's words, Hamichi laughed loudly. He said to Shi Yisheng: "Mr. Shi's loach boat has a very deep draft. I am afraid that the waterway will be blocked and it will be easily attacked by Han Shizhong's warship. What you said just now , it can dispel my worries."

Shi Yisheng said with a smile: "Master Ha, we are ready for everything now. We only need the east wind. I heard that the food pioneer sent by Han Shizhong lost the army's food and grass. Hahaha, this is a good thing. I Judging from the past two days, Han Shizhong’s camp will definitely be very lively.”

Hamichi also clapped his hands and laughed. He said to Shi Yisheng and Tong Yali: "Hey, hey, now Han Shizhong is running out of food and grass. As long as we cut off the water and drought supply lines, we can also divide and encircle him. Finally, we can encircle and annihilate him by trapping him to death. , the blockade along the river can be completely solved. By then, the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom will be overwhelming and will surely destroy the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop."

At this moment, Shi Yisheng "made suggestions" again. He told Hamichi that although the situation was favorable to our side, the necessary information must be conveyed well. As long as the Song Dynasty is in such chaos, we will give them a way to win from the chaos.

Hamichi nodded, and he immediately ordered a few capable soldiers to disguise themselves as fishermen and go to Zhenjiang to spy on Han Shizhong's camp. These people took a few boats that night and quietly arrived at the area under the jurisdiction of the Southern Song Navy.

After arriving in Zhenjiang, these fishermen saw notices posted everywhere at the city gate. When they stepped forward to take a look, they saw a notice saying: Because the military rations are scarce in the water villages along the river, the people of this city have spent a lot of money to purchase rations. Those who have a surplus of food at home can send the food directly to the camp. I will buy it at ten times the market price. The signature was written as Han Shizhong and stamped with the handsome seal.

When these fishermen saw the notice, they hid in the corner and covered their mouths and snickered. One of them whispered: "It seems that Han Shizhong has reached the end of his strength, hehehehe. Let's wait patiently here for the chaos in his camp, and then notify Military Advisor Ha to annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Just as these fishermen were muttering quietly, two soldiers suddenly jumped out and they were scolding and scolding. The fishermen saw all this and watched from a distance.

I heard one of the soldiers say: "I obviously discovered this fish first. Why do you snatch it from me?"

Another soldier said: "You have a share in seeing it. Besides, this fish is not yours. Why can't I take it?"

The two of them didn't give in to each other's words, and they were back and forth with each other with fists and kicks. After a while, the clothes of the two soldiers were torn. When these fishermen dressed as golden soldiers saw this situation, they all secretly laughed.

Just as the soldiers were making a fuss, Han Yanzhi came over with a group of soldiers. When he saw the soldiers fighting together, he became furious. Han Yan yelled: "Stop, you two are soldiers fighting each other at the city gate, which has seriously violated military discipline. Come on, pull them down and beat them with five hundred military sticks."

When the two soldiers heard this, they fell to their knees. They begged: "Major General, this is not because there is a lack of food in the camp. We don't have enough to eat. That's why we fight for food in the street. Please be noble and spare us this time."

After Han Yanzhi listened to the soldier's answer, he said angrily: "No, the lack of food in the camp is a fact, but it cannot be used as a reason to violate military discipline. The two of you scuffled in the street, which has damaged the image of the Navy and must be severely punished. "

After that, Han Yanzhi asked the soldiers to push the two of them to the ground, and then slapped their backs and legs with thick sticks like raindrops. The two soldiers were beaten until they rolled on the spot and cried bitterly.

After the beating, Han Yanzhi told the two men to return to the camp quickly and not to stay here for a moment. After saying that, Han Yanzhi led the team away in a hurry.

When the two soldiers saw Han Yan leaving, they yelled at him. One of the soldiers said: "In such a special situation, General Han not only refused to listen to our explanation, but also imposed such a heavy punishment. I think this camp is short of food, and sooner or later the Jin people will break it. Take advantage of this opportunity , it’s better to go and join them.”

After hearing this, another soldier also said angrily: "This Han Yanzhi is too merciless. The two of us worked hard for the Song Dynasty. We have no credit but hard work. In the end, we can't even have a full meal. It's the same everywhere. Live, go and find an opportunity to join the Jin people."

Between them, you say something and I say something. All the words said were heard by these fishermen. When they saw this, they came out. Several people stood in front of the two soldiers, and then said: "You two want to defect to the Kingdom of Jin. You are really brave."

When the two soldiers saw the fishermen coming out to stop them, they immediately drew their swords and tried to fight them. The fishermen laughed when they saw this, and Song Bing was shocked by this laughter.
